Passing the wall was quick and Nasem stopped, with Streliomon in his arms. His necklace was around his neck, and it glowed, catching Nasem's and his Digimon's attention. Nasem's clothes wilted away and Nasem gasped, but a green leather suit was covering his body. A green t-shirt materialized on his chest, while black sport pants materialized on his legs and black leather boots covered his feet.

A green cape swayed behind the defender, and a green tied band was around his forehead. On the back of the cape was an outline in black of a lion lying down on its stomach. Green silk gloves covered his hands. Streliomon jumped out of Nasem's arms, and landed on the soft ground in front of his defender. Streliomon remained there, staying close to his defender's foot.

After his clothes had changed, and Nasem got over the surprise, he took the chance to look around. Valhallamon was there watching him patiently. The sky had grey clouds and was purple. All around him were mirrors of numerous and different sizes; shapes; colors... etc. It was like the mirrors grew out of the ground and were sticking out of the ground. Nasem walked to one, and Streliomon kept close to him, hopping behind him.

Nasem looked into one and he didn't see his reflection. Instead, he saw a lion on two legs like Leomon, but his fur was completely white with green eyes. He had a black mane, and his tail was white. Nasem gasped and backed up a step in surprise. The lion blurred away. Streliomon looked into the same mirror and like Nasem, he didn't see his reflection. Instead he saw his evolved caterpillar form, which Streliomon wasn't familiar with.

Streliomon just blinked curiously at it, hopping closer to the mirror, and then the reflection blurred, and showed nothing. Nasem turned to Valhallamon, with a question in his eyes.

"You're in the Realm of Reflection. We're in another dimension all together. The wall you passed through was like a gateway from there to here, but it's one way only. This place is magical and mystical. You could easily get lost, and you could learn a lot from what the mirrors show. Never does a mirror show the same thing, at least not right away. I'll be bringing others, so be ready to meet them." Valhallamon explained, whispering.

"... What am I? And why do I have a Digimon... Again?" Nasem asked.

"I'll just say you're a Digital Defender: the Defender of Ownalis. I'll explain the rest when the others get here. I need to go and get them. Assalamu Alaikum." Valhallamon whispered.

Nasem nodded. "Wa alaikum assalam."

Valhallamon walked away from Nasem and Streliomon, and in a white flash, changed and flew away out of sight...

Digital Defenders

By Scentomon

The Algerian Team appears, and become more powerful than even the Japanese Team. Eventually to be widely known as Digital Defenders, the defenders face villains unlike any other. The remaining defenders become defenders and the defenders all come together to defeat their first opponent. The first main villain appears to them.

Episode 3: "The Lost Defender"

"This is one nice home." Takeru nodded.

"Arigato." Daisuke thanked.

Daisuke had suggested before when they were in the lab that they all meet again in his home early the next day. Gennai had excused himself and had rejected the offer. There were several reasons why Daisuke had suggested it, and one of them was for the DigiDestined to see the new home he and his family had moved to. They were all in the clothes that appeared from the beams that hit them. Jun was there as well. They were all in the living room and it was big.

It took all of them and there was more than enough space to move around. Some couches and cushioned seats were around the room. Noriko and Hiroshi were there with their digieggs also.

"Take a seat guys." Jun offered.

The DigiDestined all took a seat, and Koushiro took a seat, carrying his laptop. He was planning on keeping in contact with Gennai. Tentomon landed on one of the arms of the seat that his DigiDestined took. In all, the DigiDestined numbered 16. Taichi kept his eye on Daisuke and Hikari. This time around Hikari took a different seat and it was away from Daisuke. Chibomon was in Daisuke's arms, while Snow Botamon was in Hikari's arms.

Hikari had taken a seat next to Miyako on a couch. Daisuke sat down on a cushioned seat alone.

"When did you move?" Iori asked, once they were all seated.

"Two weeks after Jun got Pyro Botamon." Daisuke replied.

"This place must cost a fortune. How could your parents afford such a place?" Mimi asked.

"A few days before we moved, dad was promoted to CEO in a major Japanese electronic company." Jun replied.

"Nice." Yamato muttered.

"... You DigiDestined talk all you want. I'll be exploring this house." Agumon decided.

"We're coming with you." Gabumon decided.

Tentomon flew into the air. "Yes. I'm coming."

"We all are." Biyomon added.

The Digimon left their DigiDestined, and walked away, leaving Chibomon; Snow Botamon; Poyomon, and Pyro Botamon the remaining Digimon behind. The four babies didn't mind being left alone. Noriko was gently rubbing her digiegg quietly, while she was staring at it. While she did so, for the first time since she got it, Noriko felt her digiegg move, and she gasped. The DigiDestined and the four Digimon turned their attention towards Noriko.

Hikari noticed what was happening, and knowing her DigiDestined, Snow Botamon hopped off. Hikari had brought her digital camera and readied it. Noriko kept the digiegg on her lap. The digiegg cracked and in purple buff of smoke, the digiegg vanished. When the smoke cleared, there was a baby Digimon on Noriko's lap, and black eyes stared up at Noriko's eyes. Noriko blinked and her Snow Botamon blinked. Hikari took a photo of both Noriko and Snow Botamon.

"Another Snow Botamon?" Taichi asked. "Now how would we know which one is which?"

"They'd most likely have different evolved forms Tai." Koushiro explained.

Noriko smiled, and embraced her Snow Botamon. Hikari smiled, and her Snow Botamon took her place back on her DigiDestined.

"Just after one day and it hatches." Ken noted, rubbing his chin.

"Do you all remember the arrows of light that left the lab?" Miyako asked.

"Of course." Koushiro replied.

"Well, when I returned home from the lab yesterday, I was in for a surprise. All my siblings: Momoe; Mantarou, and Chizuru have D-3s and digieggs." Miyako explained.

"I was wondering about that, because my friend Michael from the United States called me up late last night and told me some new news. His digivice turned into a D-3 and he has some new clothes from an arrow of light. I told him what had happened here. He said he would be coming to Japan in the next few days." Mimi explained.

"... That explains why the arrows left. That's only four, and surely there are other DigiDestined around the world who got hit by the arrows." Koushiro realized, rubbing his chin.

"Michael I can understand, but why didn't your siblings come with you to this meeting? They are one of us now." Joe stated.

"They wanted all of you to know before they attended any meetings." Miyako explained.

"Gennai is looking for any information about the new crests that are on our belts. He told me he'd inform me if anything came up." Koushiro informed.

"I've been doing a little research after I left the lab yesterday on our new clothes, and I found out some stuff." Ken stated. "For one thing, the ones that are wearing gold vests show that their leaders. The ones with blue vests are with Daisuke, and the ones with black vests are with Taichi. I guess it's obvious but with both Daisuke and Taichi wearing goggles, it shows that we have two leaders: Taichi for the older DigiDestined and Daisuke for the younger ones."

"What about me and Hiroshi?" Noriko asked.

Ken looked at her. "I know you two can choose who you want to join."

"You mean between Daisuke and Taichi?" Hiroshi asked.

Ken nodded. "It appears so."

"That's easy. I'm with Daisuke." Noriko decided.

"Yeah. Same here. I'm all the way on Daisuke's side." Hiroshi agreed.

"What about the outlines on the back of our vests?" Sora asked.

"Not to mention the words below them." Takeru added.

"I've done research on that, and I've found out that the outlines are possible some form our Digimon would take. As for the words, well, since they aren't man-made, they are serious. I mean there are only words for Dai; Hikari, and Takeru. That means that Daisuke is the Prince of Miracles, one of the Princes of the DigiDestined, while Takeru is another prince, being the Prince of Hope. As for Hikari..." Ken paused.

"She's the new Vanguard of Light." Taichi finished, folding his arms.

"Exactly." Ken nodded.

"O.K. I can understand why Taichi has a gold vest. But why do you and Daisuke have gold vests?" Iori asked.

Ken was about to reply, but Daisuke beat him to it.

"Both our partners can jogress evolve together, so I think that's the reason." Daisuke replied.

Ken nodded. "Besides, some times it's better to have two leaders than one leader."

"Yeah, considering Daisuke's choices in battle!" Miyako chuckled.

Daisuke snorted. "I've got us out of dangerous times numerous times! I know I don't need to remind them to you."

"Yeah, you don't." Miyako giggled.

They all heard the front door open up and close.

"Hey! Is anyone home?" A voice asked.

A man with a dark red mustache and short dark red hair entered the room. When the DigiDestined saw him, they all tensed except for Daisuke and Jun. The man was wearing a red t-shirt and black pants.

"Hey! So someone is home!" The man exclaimed.

"Yeah. Hi dad." Daisuke greeted.

"This isn't a DigiDestined meeting, is it?" Mr. Motomiya inquired.

"It is dad." Jun replied.

Mr. Motomiya grinned. "Mind if I join you all? I would like to hear some interesting DigiDestined and Digimon stuff."

Mr. Motomiya jumped over a couch and landed in the middle of the couch. Noriko was to his right and Hiroshi was to his left. When the DigiDestined saw Mr. Motomiya's grin, they saw where Daisuke had gotten his. Chibomon sweat-dropped, while the two Snow Botamon; Poyomon, and Pyro Botamon all curiously stared at Mr. Motomiya.

"You do know the Digimon here, right Mr. Motomiya?" Koushiro questioned.

Mr. Motomiya nodded. "Yes, I do know my... hmm... son's and daughter's Digimon: Chibomon and Pyro Botamon. I also am familiar with Poyomon and Snow Botamon."

"That's good." Koushiro nodded.

Mr. Motomiya glanced at Yamato, making him tense up. "You're Yamato Ishida, correct?"

"Yes Mr. Motomiya." Yamato nodded, a little shaky.

Mr. Motomiya glanced at Hikari next, making her tense up along with Snow Botamon. "And you're Hikari Yagami, right?"

Hikari only nodded, not finding her voice, too shy to speak. Mr. Motomiya laughed, and he looked at his kids.

"Nice." He muttered.

Both Daisuke and Jun sweat-dropped. They understood what he meant, but they had no idea how he found out about the ones they had feelings for. Fortunately, the phone rung and Mrs. Motomiya entered the room and answered it. The DigiDestined and Mr. Motomiya were quiet, watching. Mrs. Motomiya talked on the phone for a few moments, and she turned towards Daisuke.

"Dai, it's for you dear." Mrs. Motomiya informed, holding the phone.

Chibomon hopped off of Daisuke's lap, and Daisuke stood up and went over to the phone. He took it from his mother. Mrs. Motomiya saw her husband and went over to him.

"Nashza, I need your help with something in the kitchen." Mrs. Motomiya requested.

"Of course Ninto." Mr. Motomiya nodded.

He stood up and walked around the couch to his wife.

"See you DigiDestined later." Mr. Motomiya waved farewell.

The DigiDestined nodded. Daisuke was quietly talking on the phone.

- Davis? - A familiar voice with an American accent asked.

Daisuke blinked. "Yeah... Is that you Willis?"

- Yep! How are you doing? - Willis asked.

"Well, we're having a DigiDestined meeting here in my home. What's up with you?" Daisuke asked, whispering.

- Why are you whispering? - Willis asked.

"I don't want the others to hear." Daisuke replied.

Since their little adventure back in the U.S. when the new second Japanese DigiDestined Team met up with Willis for the first time, both Daisuke and Willis had kept in touch since then, whether it was through e-mail or through the phone.

- I see... Much has happened here since we last talked. - Willis started.

"Lots of stuff has happened here also." Daisuke agreed.

- You go first Dai. - Willis requested.

"O.K. Well, I told you about me and my family moving to a new home, right?" Daisuke asked.

- Yeah. - Willis confirmed.

"Did I mention that my sister has her own Digimon partner?" Daisuke asked.

- Jun and Pyro Botamon? Yeah. - Willis confirmed.

"Well... There's some news about the Digital World." Daisuke whispered.

- What about you and Kari? - Willis asked.

Daisuke glanced at Hikari, and she noticed. He quickly looked away.

- You just glanced at her, didn't you? - Willis asked, laughing.

"... Well, Hikari wanted and did come with me to a DigiDestined meeting yesterday in Koushiro's lab." Daisuke whispered.

- ... Do you know what that means? Because it certainly means something here in the states. - Willis stated.

"Yeah, I do know, but I played damn when Tai interrogated me about it." Daisuke whispered.

- Big brothers are like that any where. - Willis agreed.

"I think Kar was disappointed when I played damn." Daisuke whispered.

- Using her pet name now, are we? From the way she might've understood it, it could be two ways, either you were pretending you didn't know, or she actually thought you really don't know. - Willis informed.

"If she wants to tell me she has feelings for me, then why doesn't she tell me directly?" Daisuke asked.

- What? In front of everyone, including your own Digimon? It doesn't work like that Dai. - Willis replied.

"Something else happened yesterday when we were in Koushiro's lab. Arrows of light..." Daisuke started.

- Yes! That's what I wanted to tell you about! - Willis exclaimed, interrupting his friend and fellow DigiDestined.

Daisuke blinked. "It happened to you as well?"

- Yeah, and my digivice changed. I also am wearing some new clothes... Wait, what do you mean 'you as well'? - Willis asked.

"Well, after the arrows changed us in the lab, there were some left and they all left the lab. We just found out that Miyako's three siblings have digivices and digieggs, and also Michael in the states with you. His digivice changed." Daisuke explained.

- It must have happened around the world, staring from Izzy's lab. Are you talking about Michael Berton? - Willis asked.

"I don't know his full name, but it could be him. What color is your vest?" Daisuke asked.

- Gold. Why? - Willis asked.

Daisuke gasped. "Mine is also gold, as is Ken's, and Taichi's."

- What does it mean? - Willis asked.

"Ken tells us that it when a DigiDestined gets a gold vest from an arrow of light; it means that he or she is a DigiDestined leader." Daisuke replied.

- Wow! Are you saying I'm the leader of the DigiDestined here in the United States? - Willis asked.

Daisuke shrugged. "I don't know. You could be. You need to come to Odaiba for us to talk personally."

- I'm planning to come in a few days time. I called you in first place to tell you about the arrow of light and about coming there. - Willis informed.

"Michael is also coming in a few days time. You think you could come with him, maybe on the same plane?" Daisuke asked.

- I could. I need to ask for my dad's help in that. You do know what my dad works as, so no need to tell you there. - Willis stated.

"Yeah, I do know... Are you coming alone or with someone else?" Daisuke asked.

- I'm planning to come alone... Listen Dai, I've got to go. I think Terriermon and Lopmon are in trouble again. I'll e-mail you my flight number and time of arrival. See you in Odaiba. Bye. - Willis excused.

Daisuke laughed. "Yeah, see you here. Bye."

Daisuke hung up the phone and turned around. He saw all the DigiDestined staring at him. He sweat-dropped.

"You were all listening?" Daisuke questioned.

"Yes and no." Koushiro replied. "We heard you talking to someone, but we didn't hear the exact words."

Daisuke sighed. "That's good to know."

"So who was it Dai?" Hikari asked.

"Willis." Daisuke replied. "... Mimi, what's Michael's family name?"

Mimi blinked. "Berton. Why?"

Daisuke nodded. "It's him then. Willis does know him."

"Don't tell us." Ken started. "An arrow of light hit Willis and he's coming over in a few days."

"Yes. He's coming alone, and he'll try to come with Michael, on the same plane." Daisuke explained.

"Could he do that?" Takeru asked.

Daisuke nodded. "Yes."

"I didn't know you kept in touch with Willis." Iori remarked.

Daisuke shrugged. "There's a lot of stuff I don't share with you guys nowadays."

Hikari understood what Daisuke meant, because a lot of stuff happened in her that she didn't and hadn't shared with anyone. One thing was her first crush being Takeru, then Willis for awhile after she first met him, and last so far was Daisuke. Hikari had decided to keep all that to herself. She didn't want Takeru to know that he was her first crush, especially after she had told him she had feelings for Daisuke...

Streliomon was on his defender's lap, while Nasem gently petted his Digimon on his head. Streliomon closed his eyes, enjoying the attention he was getting from his defender. A puff of black smoke caught attention from both defender and Digimon. They turned towards the smoke and saw a baby Digimon after the black smoke had cleared. With Streliomon still on his lap, and without disturbing him, Nasem took out his D-Satuza and aimed it at the baby Digimon.

A 3D hologram image of the baby Digimon was imitated out of the digivice's monitor, with the baby spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the baby, was close to Nasem's.

"Survivomon - Embryo Micro Jerebi - Survivomon was short for Survival Monster. Survivomon could only speak his name and another Digimon's name. He's in love with Ringmon. Survivomon hopped around, be he also could float around - His attack is: Emerald Shock."

Survivomon was Botamon's size, as he was only Otazoidmon's head, though his skin was dark green. His eyes were still green.

It was a Digimon Nasem had never seen before. He knew that it was his, and that it belonged to another defender. Nasem put his D-Satuza away. Streliomon kept staring at Survivomon curiously. Nasem noticed, but he ignored it. Curious about the new Digimon, and of a possible playmate, Streliomon hopped off of his defender's lap and hopped over to Survivomon.

"Ge Streliomon. Gai setame Lewiniz. Gai śadowm?" Streliomon asked.

Survivomon turned towards Streliomon, and gasped. He quickly hopped away from Streliomon, frightened. Streliomon turned transparent green. Nasem noticed and quickly stood up smiling, and watched.

Streliomon dicrenol...
Ledisomon!

A new evolved form took Streliomon's place. Nasem recognized his newly evolved Digimon. Ledisomon glanced back at his defender curiously. Nasem took out his D-Satuza and aimed it at Ledisomon. A 3D hologram image of Ledisomon was imitated out of the digivice's monitor, with Ledisomon spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about Ledisomon, was close to Nasem's.

"Ledisomon - Caterpillar Micro Jerebi - Ledisomon was short for Lediso Monster. Lediso was a Twilasin term meaning unique - His attack is: Sezalo Flagha."

Ledisomon was Koromon's size. He had green eyes. Instead of having the tip of his tail being a tuff of fur, it was filled with spikes. He had Streliomon's tail, but it was a few inches longer with a few additional spikes, and the tied tail band again before the last. Three bangs of black hair were on Ledisomon's forehead. There were green spikes of hair on the top of the fluffy ears.

Nasem nodded, putting his D-Satuza away in his pants. He smiled at Ledisomon, and Ledisomon returned the smile.

"Ledisomon." Nasem muttered.

"Ledisomon." Ledisomon repeated laughing.

In a puff of dark blue smoke, catching Nasem's; Ledisomon's, and Survivomon's attentions, another Digimon appeared not to far from them. Nasem's eyes widened when he saw the baby codelimin, as did Ledisomon's. Ledisomon hopped over to it. It was a Streliomon, but Nasem recognized it as the female Streliomon, because he remembered coming up with the female line of Sewimon, even though he didn't draw it in his sketch.

Ledisomon curiously blinked at Streliomon, and Streliomon blinked back. After a few quiet moments, the female Streliomon laughed, and her voice was female like, proving that she was female. She hopped closer to Ledisomon, startling him and keeping him alert. Streliomon gently swayed her small tail, staring and smiling at Ledisomon. She hopped even closer to Ledisomon, almost touching him, and Ledisomon screamed. He hastily hopped away from Streliomon.

Streliomon tilted her head, confused at what she had done to scare her male counterpart. Ledisomon hopped all the way to his defender, and Nasem was laughing, watching the whole exchange. Survivomon saw it also, and he remained quiet. Realizing something, Nasem suddenly stopped laughing, thinking if he would like the female Streliomon's defender or not. Nasem was snapped out of his thoughts as a puff of red smoke suddenly appeared in sight.

Streliomon hopped towards Ledisomon, who was hiding behind his defender's right leg. She was sure not to get too close though. She watched the smoke clear away and a third baby Digimon appearing. Nasem took out his D-Satuza and decided to keep it out. He aimed it at the new baby Digimon. A 3D image of the baby was imitated out of the digivice's monitor, with the baby spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the baby, was close to Nasem's.

"Runnymon - Embryo Micro Meric - Runnymon was short for Runny Monster. Runnymon floated. She was associated with the crest of Loyamin and with the Defender of Cosmic Dust - Her attack is: Run Dash."

Runnymon was a green droplet.

"First one to mention crest and defender." Nasem noted.

Streliomon noticed that Runnymon was female just like her, and Streliomon smiled to that. She hopped towards Runnymon, taking her by surprise. Runnymon turned around to Streliomon and smiled, lowering herself to look at Streliomon.

"Aimer!" Streliomon greeted cheerfully.

Runnymon blinked, not understanding what Streliomon was saying, but she ignored it and just smiled at Streliomon. Streliomon took it as a positive reply and smiled in return. Nasem folded his arms, with his D-Satuza in his right hand.

"I have a feeling those two are going to become close friends." Nasem muttered.

Survivomon dicrenol...
Emeraldmon!

The sudden evolution took all those there by surprise, and Nasem aimed his D-Satuza at the new short Digimon. A 3D image of new evolved form was imitated out of the digivice's monitor, with the caterpillar spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the caterpillar, was close to Nasem's.

"Emeraldmon - Caterpillar Micro Jerebi - Emeraldmon was short for Emerald Monster. From this stage, Emeraldmon's favorite dish would become milk pudding. Emeraldmon was in love with the female Crownmon - His attack is: Emerald Bubbles."

Emeraldmon was Otazoidmon in a miniature form. He didn't have his cape, as his shirt and pants were shorter and smaller, so they could fit him. He didn't have a belt, but he still had the gloves on, along with the crest of myths on the upper right of his shirt. His eyes were still green, as his hair was still brown; short and smooth.

Nasem noticed the crest of myths, and was surprised to see it on Emeraldmon. He wondered where it came from, and wondered if Emeraldmon's defender also had the crest of myths. It did confuse Nasem. Emeraldmon slowly walked towards Ledisomon and Nasem. Ledisomon blinked, noticing Emeraldmon approaching them. He carefully left his place behind Nasem's leg. Emeraldmon stopped in front of Ledisomon.

"I know I won't understand you. But we're the same level now, and I'd like to be friends with you." Emeraldmon requested.

"Śadowm?" Ledisomon asked, glancing up at his defender.

Nasem smiled. "Gai jerebit gai."

Ledisomon's eyes widened. "Lo! Emeraldmon jerebit Ledisomon."

"Call me Cometris." Emeraldmon requested.

He glanced up at Nasem. "How do you say: 'My name is Cometris'?"

"Ge setame Cometris." Nasem informed.

Emeraldmon nodded. He looked at Ledisomon, who was staring back at him.

"Ge setame Cometris." Emeraldmon greeted.

Ledisomon smiled. "Aimer Cometris! Setame Lewiniz."

"Lewiniz." Emeraldmon nodded, smiling.

A blue puff of smoke appeared, and Nasem gasped when he saw the Digimon baby. He recognized it too well, but he remembered that it wasn't deleted, or was it and he didn't know? Nasem knew he would find out about that sooner or later. Both Ledisomon and Emeraldmon noticed the familiar look Nasem had on his face when he saw the baby Digimon.

"Who's that?" Emeraldmon inquired.

"That's Zoomon... I really hope he isn't mine. I'm Nasem Jaacto: the Defender of Ownalis. That's what I was told, I mean with the defender stuff. You can call me Nasem." Nasem greeted.

"Lewiniz is yours?" Emeraldmon asked.

Nasem nodded. "Do you know why you have that crest near your shoulder?"

Emeraldmon glanced at it, and then glanced back at Nasem, shaking his head. Nasem sighed.

"Aren't you going to analyze him?" Emeraldmon asked.

"Zoomon? No. Some other defender could do it." Nasem replied.

"I don't see any other defender here." Emeraldmon reminded.

"Oh! Just leave me alone, would you?!" Nasem snapped.

Emeraldmon jumped back, as Ledisomon also hopped back frightened. Nasem sighed, and walked away from them all. All the Digimon noticed. Ledisomon glanced at Emeraldmon, then at his defender. He decided to follow his defender and keep him company, even if it was silent company. Ledisomon hopped after Nasem.

"Nasem!" Ledisomon yelled.

Nasem stopped, glancing back at his Digimon. Ledisomon stopped, and returned the stare. Nasem gestured with his head for Ledisomon to follow him, and Ledisomon smiled, continuing on hopping towards Nasem. Nasem continued on walking away, but slower this time, for his Digimon to be able to catch up with him. Emeraldmon shrugged, and approached Zoomon, as did Streliomon and Runnymon.

Streliomon glanced back at Ledisomon from time to time, until he and his defender were no longer in sight. Nasem remembered his sketches and them not being with him. At least his D-Satuza was the same, and had remained with him since his father had given it to him years back in Syria. It was the only thing Nasem had that his father ever gave to him. Now he couldn't get any other gifts from his father. It was something Nasem treasured dearly, reminding him of his father.

Ledisomon remembered seeing the form he was currently in, in the mirror while he was Streliomon. Away from the other Digimon, Nasem sat down on the soft cushioned ground. He supported his back on the side of one of the mirrors. Curious of how his next evolved form would look like, Ledisomon went around his defender and glanced into the mirror that his defender supported his back on.

What he saw though wasn't the reflection of his next evolved form, but something else. Ledisomon saw some sort of Digimon with black fur; an owl's tail; a black headband, and owl talon feet, not to mention the pair of black owl wings on the Digimon's back. Ledisomon was sure that the reflection he was seeing wasn't his next evolved form, but the form he saw was quite impressing and interesting to him. He couldn't wait to get to such a form.

After the reflection vanished, Ledisomon hopped over to his defender, and hopped onto his lap. Nasem smiled down at his Digimon. Ledisomon just curled up around himself and closed his eyes on his defender's lap. Nasem gently petted Ledisomon's head, careful not to touch his tail. Nasem slowly closed his eyes, and dozed off to sleep, missing the last baby Digimon appearing...

"Do you think he's O.K.?" A beautiful feminine voice asked.

"Yeah. I think he's just sleeping." Another feminine voice replied.

"How could someone sleep in a place like this?" A third voice questioned, being male.

"He was here before us." The first voice reminded.

The voices were all new to Nasem's ears.

"Well, he does have a Ledisomon on his lap, just like yours Johara." The second voice noted.

That got Nasem's attention, and he was instantly reminded of his previous thoughts about whether he would like the defender of the female Streliomon or not. But, Ledisomon? She evolved?

"He isn't sleeping. He's hearing us quite well now." A familiar voice whispered.

'Valhallamon.' Nasem thought.

Nasem opened up his green emerald eyes. The first thing he was brown eyes. It was blurry at first, but it eventually cleared up and Nasem saw a girl around his age with brown eyes. Her hair wasn't showing, and she was sitting down beside Nasem staring at him. She was wearing a dark blue dress that covered her figure. Her dress had white snow scattered around it. She was also wearing a dark blue Hijab, covering her hair completely. '

A dark blue cape swayed behind her, and a dark blue tied band was around her forehead. Dark blue silk gloves covered her hands. Dark blue leather boots covered her feet. In her arms was the female Ledisomon, only now evolved. She was smiling at him, or was it someone else. Nasem glanced down at his Ledisomon and saw him awake, blinking up at the female Ledisomon. Ledisomon moved closer to Nasem's chest, frightened from the sudden closeness.

Nasem figured that the other defenders arrived in the realm after he had dozed off to sleep. He kept his hand on his Ledisomon's head, trying to comfort him, and slowly succeeding. Nasem glanced back at Johara, and Johara was staring at him, as the two shared eye contact for a few moments, with everyone there noticing. Everyone remained silent. Breaking eye contact with her, Nasem glanced at the other girl on his other side.

This girl smiled at Nasem. She wore a red fisherman's hat; a red shirt, and red shorts. She wore red sport shoes. She wore a red cape behind her. Her eyes were green like Nasem's, and she had red long hair, showing below the fisherman's hat.

"Assalamu Alaikum..." The first young woman greeted.

"... Wa alaikum assalam." Nasem replied.

The young woman smiled. The young woman with red clothes folded her arms.

"Another Muslim. Well, not surprising. I should consider myself lucky to be a Digital Defender with you all." The second young woman shrugged.

"Hey! I'm Christian just like you Candice!" A young woman with blonde hair and brown eyes reminded.

Nasem glanced at the young woman, only noticing her then. She was wearing an orange shirt and pink shorts. She wore pink heeled shoes, with a pink cape behind her, and a pink tied headband around her forehead. Beside her was a Digimon Nasem wasn't familiar with.

"Keep your heels on girl. I already know that Penelope." The young woman named Candice rolled her eyes.

"I'm Johara Starden." Johara whispered, introducing herself.

"Nasem Jaacto." Nasem whispered, nodding.

"Just what defender are you anyways?" The first male's voice asked, stopping in front of Nasem.

Nasem recognized his voice from earlier, as being the first male voice he heard. Something about this defender was familiar to Nasem, but he just couldn't remember at the moment. He had black short hair and black eyes. He was wearing a black shirt; dark green sport pants, and black leather boots. A black cape was behind him and a black tied headband was around his forehead. Black silk gloves covered his hands. Beside him was Emeraldmon.

Ledisomon growled, glaring at the defender. Nasem just glanced at him, and ignored his answer. Nasem took Ledisomon into his arms and slowly stood up, with both Johara and Candice following his lead. The defender in black shirt snorted.

"Now you have these two girls following you." He remarked.

Johara's eye twitched, but she remained silent. Only Nasem noticed, and he barely noticed it in time. Candice raised her head, folding her arms.

"You have a problem with that kid?!" Candice snarled.

"Kid! Just who are you calling kid?!" The defender yelled.

Johara rolled her eyes, and took Nasem by the arm, pulling him away from the two, and away from the others. Nasem's Ledisomon was in Nasem's arms, while Johara's Ledisomon was in her arms.

"That's Candice Starshine, and the one who's rude is Shehab Nasran. That young woman there is Penelope Briarton, and the quiet lonely boy there is Nasser Jaldoon. Besides you, I like him." Johara explained.

Nasem noticed the Digimon with all of them, and he was too familiar with the Digimon with Nasser. It was Sonarlifmon, and Nasem was glad that it wasn't his.

"You probably already met Ledisomon here, since you also already have one. I named Twituza and it means Chant in Twilasin." Johara informed.

Nasem's eyes widened. "You know Twilasin?"

Johara blinked. "Do you?"

"Lo." Nasem replied, smiling.

Johara smiled. "This is going to be nice."

"I named my Ledisomon Lewiniz." Nasem informed.

"Favored or favorite. Nice name." Johara remarked.

"Gai zolas." Nasem nodded.

"Zolam." Johara replied.

"What's that Digimon with Candice and Penelope? I already know the others." Nasem explained.

"The Digimon with Candice is Rainmon, and with Penelope is Crownmon." Johara informed.

Sonarlifmon was Gatomon's height, but the tail was shorter than Gatomon's. He was without the mane; claws and armor. The crest of myths was on his forehead. Sonarlifmon's brown eyes were shown. Emerald energized blades took the place of the claws above Sonarlifmon's fingers. He had green; circular shoulder pads. His emerald gloves were still there, but not fingerless anymore, yet still leather.

Rainmon was the size of Botamon, pink in color. A blue outlined raindrop was on her forehead.

Crownmon was Shetamon in mini size like Demi Veemon or Emeraldmon. A sapphire crown was around her head. She had blue eyes with yellow shirt hair. She was human in figure, human baby form. She was wearing a blue shirt; blue pants, and blue shoes below it. The crest of mulige was on her shirt to the upper right, close to the right shoulder. It was in dark blue.

Nasem understood why Sonarlifmon had the crest of myths on him.

"I'm the Defender of Ownalis." Nasem stated.

"Defender of Celestial Wind, and Reflective Leopard. See?" Johara asked, turning around.

Nasem noticed the outline in white of a snow leopard glancing behind her on the back of Johara's cape. After a few moments, Johara turned around, facing Nasem again.

"What about you?" Johara asked.

"I don't know." Nasem replied.

"He's Guarding Lion." Valhallamon whispered, appearing close to them.

Johara jumped, while Nasem remained calm, not startled at all, being used to Valhallamon's sudden appearances and disappearances.

"May I see the back of your cape?" Johara inquired.

Nasem nodded and turned around. Johara saw an outline in black of a lion lying down on its stomach. A few moments later and Nasem turned around, facing Johara again.

"You explained stuff to them while I was sleeping, right?" Nasem asked, looking at Valhallamon.

Valhallamon nodded.

"Now the six defenders are all together, but there are more than six defenders. Assalamu Alaikum..." Valhallamon whispered.

"Wa alaikum assalam." Both Johara and Nasem replied in unison.

Both Ledisomon glanced at each other when their defenders spoke in unison. Valhallamon turned into a white glow and flew away out of the realm. Johara and Nasem turned to each other.

"What did he mean by '... there are more than six defenders'?" Nasem inquired.

"Maybe he meant that there are others that are defenders, but aren't with us or can't be located now." Johara replied.

"Possible." Nasem muttered.

"Hey Nasem?" Johara questioned.

"Yeah." Nasem replied.

"From now, I want you to know that I'll accept you to lead us: Digital Defenders." Johara informed. "I don't know about the others though."

Nasem and Johara glanced towards Shehab and Candice, and saw them still arguing. Penelope was watching them impatiently, tapping her foot.

"Maybe its my purpose to lead you all. This isn't going to be easy." Nasem whispered.

"It'll work out somehow insha' Allah." Johara grinned.

With Ledisomon in his arms, Nasem walked towards Nasser. Nasem noticed what Nasser was wearing, and it was a blue t-shirt and light blue shorts. Nasser had blue hiking shoes, and blue leather gloves covered his hands. A blue tied headband was around his forehead, and a blue cape swayed behind him. Nasem noticed the outline behind Nasser's cape, and it was the outline of a dolphin leaping into the air in light blue.

Johara followed him towards Nasser. Nasem figured that the clothes they were all wearing only appeared on them after they entered the realm somehow. When Johara told Nasem Shehab's name, the name was also familiar to Nasem.

"Assalamu Alaikum." Nasem greeted, reaching Nasser.

Nasser glanced up at Nasem. "Wa alaikum assalam."

"Do you mind if we join you two?" Nasem asked.

Nasser shook his head. Nasem took a seat down beside Nasser, with Sonarlifmon on Nasser's other side.

"I'm Nasem Jaacto, and this is Lewiniz. He's Ledisomon now. I'm the Defender of Ownalis, and Guarding Lion." Nasem greeted.

"Nasser Jaldoon. I'm from Oran. This is Bristle. He's Sonarlifmon now. I'm the Defender of the Wild, and Peaceful Dolphin." Nasser greeted.

Johara joined them silently. Nasser glanced at her momentarily, acknowledging her presence.

"This is Twituza, and I'm from Constantine." Johara informed.

"I'm from Dar Al-Azal." Nasem informed.

"Where?" Nasser asked.

"It's an isolated village in the south near an oasis... Or it used to be." Nasem replied.

Johara gasped. "You're from there? That's it's name?"

"I'm sorry." Nasser apologized.

Nasem shook his head. "No need."

"May I join you three?" A feminine voice asked.

They all turned there heads. Johara smiled. It was Penelope, with Crownmon by her side.

"Yeah. You're welcome to join us." Nasser nodded.

Penelope smiled, and joined them all.

"I'm Nasem Jaacto: the Defender of Ownalis and Guarding Lion." Nasem greeted.

Penelope nodded. "Penelope Briarton: the Defender of Biovesto. I don't have an animal name like you guys."

"... I told Nasem that I accept him to lead us, but I don't know the rest of you." Johara informed.

"I don't mind, and better you than Shehab." Nasser agreed.

"You're the best one for it." Penelope nodded, agreeing.

Before any other word could be spoken, all their digivices started vibrating wildly. Penelope; Johara; Nasser, and Nasem all took out their digivices. For Nasem, it was his D-Satuza, but for the others it was named D-Meric. Candice and Shehab had stopped arguing and were checking their digivices.

"A Digimon!" Both Nasem and Shehab gasped.

Shehab glanced at Nasem, and glared at him, snarling. Candice quickly joined the four defenders with Rainmon.

"The Dark Prince has sent it!" Johara exclaimed.

"The Dark Prince?" Nasem repeated.

"No time to explain. We need to head back... But how?" Candice inquired.

"Leave that to me." Both Nasem and Shehab replied.

Nasem sighed, and sat back down. Shehab's digivice was similar to Nasem, and with the same colors, but the colors were in opposite places. Shehab did something, and some sort of tear opened in the realm, in the form of a bolt. The other side of the tear could be seen. Shehab and Emeraldmon stepped aside, and Penelope and Crownmon were the first to enter, followed by Candice and Rainmon. Nasser and Sonarlifmon were about to follow them.

But Nasem not moving made the two stop.

"Aren't you coming?" Nasser questioned.

"Yes, but through my own Digital Tear." Nasem replied.

"We're coming with you." Johara decided.

"We are also." Nasser decided, returning back to Nasem.

Shehab shrugged. "Your loss!"

He jumped through the tear, with Emeraldmon following his defender. The tear closed behind the defender and Emeraldmon. A few moments later and Nasem stood up. He did something on his D-Satuza, and slashed it vertically in midair in front of him. A tear opened up, with the other side shown.

"I'll go in first." Nasser decided.

He jumped into the tear first, with Sonarlifmon in his arms.

"We're heading to Oran." Nasem noted.

"Yep." Johara confirmed.

"You go in. The one who opens it needs to enter last because once I enter it, it would close behind me." Nasem explained.

"That's why Shehab didn't enter it first." Johara noted.

With Twituza in her arms, Johara jumped into the tear.

"Oddly enough, it isn't surprising that Shehab knew how to open a digital tear." Nasem muttered.

He jumped through his tear, with Lewiniz secure and safe in his arms. The tear closed behind him...

Nasem appeared in the sky over Oran and more precisely over the water near the harbor where Nasser was before. Having experienced entering through a digital tear before, Nasem wasn't scared, and he remained calm. Ledisomon had his eyes shut, and he was sobbing in fear.

"Hold your breath!" Nasem exclaimed.

Somehow Ledisomon understood his defender, and did as he was told, without opening his eyes. Nasem took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Moments later, he splashed into the water's harbor. Nasem opened his eyes in the water, and he instantly noticed that Ledisomon turned transparent green. He gasped, and quickly put both of his hands onto his mouth. A few bubbles escaped from his mouth. By doing so, he let go of Ledisomon. It was underwater, but Nasem still heard it.

Ledisomon dicrenol...
Sewimon!

The water they were in suddenly turned green and Nasem felt the water lifting him towards the surface. Both Nasem and his Digimon broke the surface, and they both noticed that they were on some sort of green energy wave. Nasem felt something warm on his chest, and he glanced down at his necklace, noticing the crescent glowing green brilliantly. The wave crashed onto one of the docks, and Nasem landed onto the wood on his stomach.

"Nasem!" Johara's voice yelled out.

Nasem's crescent remained glowing green. Nasem was lifted into the air, and he glowed green, as did his Digimon. Both felt themselves being dried mysteriously. When they were dry, Nasem's crescent's glow faded away, and both Nasem and his Digimon landed gently onto the wood. Johara; her Digimon; Nasser, and his Digimon rushed over to Nasem.

"Are you O.K.?" Johara asked.

Nasem blinked, nodding. It was then that he noticed Johara wearing a similar necklace like his, but instead of green emerald, Nasem recognized the precious jewel as blue sapphire.

"Great place you brought us. I was here on this dock before I was brought to the Realm of Reflection. We probably scared away Torza." Nasser muttered.

"Who?" Johara asked.

"My dolphin friend." Nasser replied.

"You two also fell in the water?" Nasem asked.

"Yep, and somehow our Digimon evolved to their next form." Johara replied.

Nasem took out his D-Satuza and aimed it at the Digimon beside Johara. A 3D image of the Digimon was imitated out of the digivice's monitor, with the Digimon spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about the Digimon, was close to Nasem's.

"Sewimon - Juvenile Mythical Jerebi - Sewimon was short for Sewit Monster, with Sewit being star in Twilasin. Two were only known to exist. Sewimon had strong smelling scent and sharp eyesight, along with sharp hearing. When either Sewimon listened to the wind, they understood what it told them. Both had in their system X-antibody and Anonymous Ultra. Both believed in One God - Its attacks are: Satuza Zimac and Zomo Grasl."

Lewiniz was Renamon's height, and was black with black fur covering his body. He had green eyes. His face was like a wolf's with snouts. He had green spiked pads on his knees and shoulders. He had a black lion's tail with green spikes on it. He wore a black headband around his forehead. He had a green tuff of hair on his chest. His hair was dark green. His limbs were scaly like a dragon's, with three claws on each hand and foot. The tip of his tail had some spikes on them. A green outline of a crescent was on his forehead. A pair of black owl wings was on his back.

Twituza was Renamon's height, and was black with black fur covering her body. She had green eyes. Her face like a wolf's with snout. She had blue circular pads on her knees and shoulders. She had a black leopard's tail with blue spikes on it. She wore a necklace around neck of a blue crescent. She had blue tuff of hair on her chest. Her hair was dark blue. Her limbs were scaly like a dragon's, with three claws on each hand and foot. The tip of her tail didn't have any spikes on them. A blue outline of a crescent was on her forehead. She had a pair of black owl wings on her back. She was thin and agile, with feminine curves and feminine body.

"Zonemon - Juvenile Mammal Jerebi - Zonemon was short for Zone Monster. Zonemon was dubbed by his defender Bristle. He was associated with the crest of tranquility. Like any other cat, Zonemon was a good hunter and had strong senses - His attacks are: Power Spin and Mane Pads."

Zonemon was a cat on two legs with the height as same as Lucemon. His fur was light green as he had a white mane behind his head: a short, smooth one. His eyes were brown, as he had dark green circular soft pads on his shoulders; elbows, and knees. A white belt was around his waist, as white tight bracelets were around his wrists. His hands were padded. His claws were sharp and white. The crest of myths was on his chest, covered by his fur. The crest was colored dark green.

Nasem's D-Satuza had analyzed both Sewimon at once, and shifting from Sewimon to Zonemon, the hologram blurred from one Digimon to another. Nasem was already familiar with Zonemon, but he did it for Johara and Nasser. He put away his digivice, and noticed both Nasser and Zonemon were wet, while Johara and Twituza were dry, like Nasem and Lewiniz. Nasem figured it had something to do with their necklaces.

"Could you three locate the Digimon?" Johara asked, staring at Twituza.

Twituza blinked and turned around, facing the city. She closed her eyes, and listened to the wind, as Lewiniz did the same. Zonemon closed his eyes, and sniffed the air. He opened his eyes and turned to his defender.

"It's a champion level Digimon, and the three other defenders are engaging in battle with it. From what I could tell, they were still in-training." Zonemon explained.

"If it's champion, then three in-training won't fare well with it." Nasem noted.

"They didn't evolve, so I guess we need to thank you." Johara realized.

Nasem chuckled. "Let's just go. Lewiniz, fly over us, but stay close."

Lewiniz nodded and flapped his wings, taking to the sky. Johara turned to Twituza.

"You too Twituza." Johara informed.

Twituza nodded and flapped her wings, joining Lewiniz in the air. Zonemon; Nasser; Johara, and Nasem all rushed towards the battle, while above them both Sewimon flew.

"The Dark Prince would pay for attacking my city first." Nasser muttered...

In the city, Shehab; Penelope, and Candice were all facing one Dark Tyrannomon. Their Digimon tried attacking Dark Tyrannomon time and time again, but it didn't do anything. The streets around them were deserted from people, leaving the defenders to battle the champion.

"Emerald Bubbles!" Emeraldmon yelled, jumping at Dark Tyrannomon.

Emeraldmon released numerous green emerald bubbles from his mouth at Dark Tyrannomon. They popped harmlessly on his rough dinosaur hide like so many times before. Dark Tyrannomon swung his arm, and swatted Emeraldmon back to the ground with the back of its hand. Shehab remained in his place, staying with Penelope, and Candice.

"Rose Bubbles!" Crownmon yelled, jumping at Dark Tyrannomon next.

Crownmon released numerous rose bubbles from her mouth at Dark Tyrannomon. They popped harmlessly on Dark Tyrannomon, and Dark Tyrannomon slammed his tail into Crownmon, sending her flying back to her defender. Penelope was able to catch her in her arms.

"Eagle Bubbles!" Rainmon yelled, blowing pink bubbles at Dark Tyrannomon.

Dark Tyrannomon snorted at Rainmon, glaring at her. Rainmon gasped, and quickly hopped back towards Candice.

"Enough of this!" Dark Tyrannomon roared.

"Fire Blast!" Dark Tyrannomon yelled.

The attack was aimed at the three defenseless defenders. Both Penelope and Candice screamed, closing their eyes, while Penelope embraced Crownmon tighter. Crownmon had her eyes closed. Emeraldmon's eyes widened in terror, on his side, watching with dread.

"Power Spin!" A voice yelled.

A spinning vertical tornado moved in front of the three defenders and somehow the attack was absorbed into Power Spin. The spin gradually stopped, and Zonemon appeared, facing Dark Tyrannomon and glaring at him.

"Who?" Shehab asked.

"Alright Bristle!" Nasser's voice yelled.

Shehab's eyes widened. "What?! He evolved?!"

Penelope and Candice glanced behind them, and saw Nasser; Johara, and Nasem rushing towards them. They also noticed Sewimon in the air, flying towards Dark Tyrannomon. Lewiniz and Twituza passed over the three defenders, and landed on either side of Zonemon, glaring at Dark Tyrannomon. Nasser; Johara, and Nasem reached the other three defenders.

"About time!" Shehab exclaimed.

Nasem ignored him.

"Go teach him to fear the Digital Defenders Lewiniz!" Nasem yelled, cheering his Digimon.

"Teach him a lesson he won't ever forget Twituza!" Johara yelled, cheering her Digimon.

"Support them Bristle." Nasser informed.

"They evolved." Penelope muttered her eyes wide.

Keeping his eyes on Dark Tyrannomon, Zonemon moved towards Emeraldmon and helped him to his feet. With Zonemon's help, both made it back to their defenders. Shehab didn't glance down at his Digimon. Emeraldmon sighed. Dark Tyrannomon roared.

"You defender would still lose. My dark prince should reign forever! Dark Blast!" Dark Tyrannomon yelled.

"I'm really starting to hate this 'prince'." Nasem muttered.

Nasser and Johara nodded their heads, agreeing with the Defender of Ownalis.

"I'm the Defender of Ownalis: Guarding Lion. With Allah's will, we'll guard those who need it!" Nasem yelled.

"I'm the Defender of Celestial Wind: Reflective Leopard. With Allah's will, we'll reflect your cruelty back at you!" Johara yelled.

"I'm the Defender of the Wild: Peaceful Dolphin. With Allah's will, we'll insure peace in all grounds from evil like you!" Nasser yelled.

"I'm the Defender of Cosmic Dust: Watchful Eagle. I'll watch over my friends at all times!" Candice yelled.

"I'm the Defender of Biovesto, and we'll kick your digital butt!" Penelope yelled.

"Digital Defenders!" The five defenders yelled in unison.

Shehab lowered his head, remaining quiet, and it wasn't unnoticed. Zonemon stepped forward.

"Power Spin!" Zonemon yelled.

Once more, Zonemon absorbed Fire Blast. He stopped spinning, and took a step back. Crownmon jumped out of Penelope's arms, and joined her fellow Digimon. Rainmon hopped over and joined the other Digimon. Both Crownmon and Rainmon turned transparent, with Crownmon being transparent pink and Rainmon being transparent red.

Crownmon dicrenol...
Shetamon!

Rainmon dicrenol...
Ranbimon!

"They evolved." Penelope whispered.

"You're amazing." Candice whispered, staring in awe at Ranbimon.

Johara quickly took out her D-Meric. It was similar to the D-Satuza, but with noticeable differences, making it something different. Johara's D-Meric's colors were blue and black. She aimed her D-Meric at Shetamon first. A 3D image of Shetamon was imitated out of the digivice's monitor, with Shetamon spinning around. The voice that spoke, giving information about Shetamon, was close to Johara's.

"Shetamon - Juvenile Humanoid Jerebi - Shetamon was Penelope's Digimon, and was capable of flying. Shetamon was dubbed by her defender Starlight. She was associated with the crest of care. She could easily blend in with humans, even though she didn't have a special past. She's sweethearts with Otazoidmon, and has limited fire control. Her element was the element of fire and wind. Shetamon was also known as Scarfmon - Her attacks are: Rose Flames; Flaming Tornado; Dream Fear; Triple Lightning Claws."

Shetamon was Renamon's height. She had blue eyes with short; smooth yellow hair, which was slightly spiked. She was human in figure. She was wearing a white shirt and white pants along with pink shoes below it. She wore pink mountain glove. A pink belt was around her waist, as the crest of mulige was in dark blue on her shirt to the upper right, close to the right shoulder.

"Ranbimon - Juvenile Mythical Jerebi - Ranbimon was short for Rainbow Monster. Ranbimon was dubbed by her defender Foreen. She was associated with the crest of loyamin. She was sweethearts with Zonemon - Her attacks are: Rainbow Stars and Rainbow Dissolve."

Ranbimon was Lucemon's height with five pairs of wings: each pair of different color of the rainbow colors. The wings were leathered and feathered. Ranbimon had furred white arms; hands; feet and legs. Her legs were padded. Three brown bangs were slightly on her forehead; her hair was short; smooth, and brown. Her eyes were dark brown. Pink breastplates were over Ranbimon's small breasts. An outline of an eagle was on her forehead in blue.

Candice glanced at Shehab and noticed his head lowered. She sighed and turned back to the battle. She adored her evolved Digimon greatly. Johara put her D-Meric away. Not too far and in a safe distance, the battle was being broadcasted live on Algerian TV, with a cameraman and a field report witnessing the battle since the first three defenders started facing Dark Tyrannomon. Slowly, some people started looking out the windows at the battle.

"Let's finish this Digimon Defenders. Mane Pads!" Zonemon yelled.

"Satuza Zimac!" Lewiniz and Twituza yelled in unison.

"Rose Flames!" Shetamon yelled.

"Rainbow Stars!" Ranbimon yelled.

The four attacks remained separate, and all headed towards Dark Tyrannomon, who froze in fear. The four attacks collided with Dark Tyrannomon as one and together, resulting in a loud explosion that temporarily covered Dark Tyrannomon. The four Digimon knew better than such attacks defeating a champion like Dark Tyrannomon. Dark Tyrannomon was deleted, but not by the defenders' Digimon.

"Black Line!" A voice yelled out.

The defenders and their Digimon didn't see it, but they only heard it. An attack sliced through Dark Tyrannomon from behind and he burst into the data. The smoke cleared away, and the defenders and their Digimon were surprised to not only see data being sucked into a Digital Tear, and it being Dark Tyrannomon's data, but they were surprised by who had finished Dark Tyrannomon. Across from them was some Digimon in red armor, with a human behind it with a hood over his face.

"We finally meet defenders. Great job on your first test. I'm the Dark Prince, and my slave here is Yami Graslmon. He's champion. We'll meet again defenders, but we'll meet in the Digital World. The hunt is on. See ya!" The Dark Prince waved, before jumping into the Digital Tear.

Yami Graslmon hastily followed him, before the Digital Tear closed.

"That was the Dark Prince?" Penelope inquired.

"I didn't think he would show himself so soon." Nasser remarked.

"We have to go after him, before he could do anymore harm." Shehab narrowed his eyes.

"And we will, but look at this place first." Nasem noted...

To be continued...
