Team Lirurun took some time to discuss a matter that had been stirring up conflicts between Lopmon Bakery who has recently started selling world wide sweets from becoming localized two weeks ago. The owner of the human bakery seems to be losing customers due to the sheer adorableness of the chocolate brown lop eared rabbit. The conflict is to relocate one of the business, so that the other one could still do business. In truth...both owners don't mind the idea since it could aid in expanding profits.

Problem? Lopmon bakery is a popular spot for the digimon of their new country. With humans still learning to adapt to digimon being potential customers. Various monsters of different size and species are not the usuals that one expects to see walking through their doors. Gotsumon and the human baker's son rivalry added a heavy amount to the matter. Acting like two young children bickering on who has what's better till it breaks into a hot bloodied arguement. While Hanuel and their partners went to DigiHarmony to help persuade a solution, the others would try to resolve a compromise with the human owned bakery. Took till the earliest hours of dusk to finally solve the mind numbing issue. Neamon found something that greatly peaked Hanuel interests so they would remain in DigiHarmony for the next few days.

Leaving the others relaxing while blissful sugary snacks replenished their energies. Discussing about interests or wonders.

"Sis is trying to convince Abi to get a human disguise from Blues but he's being stubborn. Mainly because it means he may have to materialize to find his human persona" Shiramon never understood why her adoptive father was so against a disguise if he rather not be materialize. Not like he'll look like some sort of past villian.

"I bet my looks make me look like a stunning human. Probably be one of those super successful models" Jellymon praised herself with the image of her himan self in mind.

"So in that sense, Kiyoshiro would be your digimon?" Angoramon asked curiously as he took a few small gulps of a french vanilla latte which Ruli had been urging for him to try. It held none of the refreshing calm tastes of his usual tea but the aroma helped relax his weary body.

"A world where digimon are humans and humans are their digimon counterparts does in fact exist. I went with "Yin" to celebrate our dearest memory" Gulus spoke through Gammamon while gently stroking Solisamon hair while the little oni slept beside him.

She had missed her afternoon nap because of the issue about the bakeries as well as dealing with a few upset digimon. The exhausted younger digimon decided to use this down time to get some rest.

What Gulus had just said got everyone's interest. A verse like that truly exists? Now this was an absolute MUST see! Right after Solisamon wakes up is went the group plans to paid this verse a visit. Hopefully it will go alright by Centuriomon since he has his eyes on every single digital verse. Nothing escapes his sight.

Clockmon must be extremely proud of how serious his son takes his title of "Verse Keeper" and that he once knocked out Gulus in a one on one fight. Clockmon nearly rusted with all the happy tears he shed that day.

Once Solisamon woke up from one of the most refreshing naps she ever had, only to be asked to be taken to the verse known as "Swapped Roles". Gulus had mentioned such a verse to her  but it hurt her head at it's mere name. Strange since she had NO memories. of ever going to that verse. Her first visit held an unexpected mix of first time excitement and uncertainty dive into a void of unknown.

Thus the group hopped into the vanilla white portal to go to their destination. Strangely they were brought to a small area where Centuriomon was on a lawn chair laid back. He seemed to be relaxing too.

Either the world is in total chaos....or they caught him while he was powered down.

"Centuriomon?" Gulus even had a few questions about the scene before his eyes.

"Hm?" Centuriomon lifted up the black tinted sunglasses he had on to see the digi destinies. "Oh hey there" He seemed calm and more relaxed then usual.

"Are you okay?" Hiro asked since Centuiomon never relaxes like this. He was wearing a hawaiian shirt for goodness sakes!!

"Milady gave me half a day off since we all know that I wouldn't take a full one. This way I can relax and keep an eye on the verse all at once" He sip from digital coconut filled with digioil.

Huh....Seems like Centuriomon can relax. At least in his own way.

"Hi Centurio! We go to "Swapped Roles". That's okay, right" Teal eyes met with green ones.

"Sure. There are no verse problems and you do alot for the verses. I don't see why not. Though...." Eyes the others with narrow eyes behind the dark shades. "DO NOT STIR UP ANY TROUBLE THERE" He gave his one and only warning to them.

If they were to bring even an ounce of trouble to this verse.....They see why Centuriomon never has enemies after him.

Rumors have said that he SMASHING them out of existance with a single swing of that hammer.

"You going to Party Town Verse afterwards?" Solisamon asked. Only one not sweating nervous bullets at Centuriomon warning.

"I may. I heard that it quite a popular place. You made some impression with that dance of yours" Centuriomon words made Solisamon blush.

"Hehe, stop it" She did have a good time there. She truly party hard till the sun came up.

All the others were taken back in surprise. Solisamon is a party animal. More importantly....THERE IS A PARTY VERSE AND THEY WERE NOT INFORMED?!

Just what other verses could possibly be out there that are unknown to them. Seriously they need a list or a guide at this point.

They soon arrived in the "Swapped Roles" Verse. Inside what appears to be a mansion.However the darkness prevented them from getting a look of their surroundings.

"This is new" Gulus hadn't recalled this building here before. Though after two thousand years, anything is possible.

"Where are we? Please don't tell me we just broke into someone's house....I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL!" On cue was the panicking of Kiyo. Going to jail would strip him of his dorm leader title.

"Kiyo shut up! Do you want the owners to wake up?" Ruli clamped her hand over the scaredy cat mouth.

However it would seems that they had attracted company. The lights nearly blinded them when they were turned on without warning.

"W-who goes there. As the protector of my queen home, I must a-ask you to l-leave" The stuttering aside. That voice sounded too familiar.

"Wow...way to scare them. Sure that the sound of your BOOMING THREATENING tone sent them running" A sarcastic voice spoke after the first. Even as unmused as it sounded, it also was quite familiar.

Angoramon could heard the sounds coming from behind the red velvet couch in front of them. He snucked behind it and picked up two rookie digimon.

The first was a soft grey chinchilla digimon with a short tail. Her eyes were a magenta pink color. On her head was an emerald green bow tied behind ears . She wore a frilly green dress with a small purse satchel that stored a pink digiphone.

The other was an albino white newt digimon, rare for his species to have such a color. Fear was in his crystal blue eyes while seeking the enemies greater numbers He wore a cloth woven robe that held a dark blue color withe a hoodie as well. He struggled to keep his oak wood staff with the infused water stone in his hands.

"Digimon that I've never seen. You?" Jellymon asked Angoramon who shook his head no.

"AAAAAH!! Please have mercy on us. We just came to this eorld not too long  ago" The newt digimon sobbed.

"Oh my..." The chinchilla digimon smack the newt in the face with her tail. "Stop being such a crybaby Kivrasmon!"

"That hurts! Melositamon why must you keep hurting me?!" Kivrasmon yelled at his supposed friend.

Before questions could be asked, a man tackled Angoramon head on. Catching Melositamon in his arms.

"NEVER. Ever touch my partner!" The light brown boy in a puff light tan vest  spoke. His light tan bangs concealed his eyes but it was clear that he was angry.

"Angiras!" Melositamon happily hugged the human who rescued her from that brute of a digimon.

"Really Kivrasmon? As a digimon partnered with the most successful model in all of Tokoyo. I except you would have grown some backbone by now, Darling" There a slender girl who white skin seemed to reassemble a pink hue approached the newt. Her light blue hair with pale green highlights seemed to curl around his small body like tentacles.

"S-sorry my dear Jelaxmi sama" Kivrasmon seemed to highly respect and fear this girl at the same time.

Those human names sounded awfully familir to the group. Almost as if they belong to two people they knew well.

"Look we mean no harm, just please hear us- " Hiro tried to explain what was happening till a shuriken knocked him off his feet.

"HIRO!" Gammamon and Solisamon rushed to their tamers side. Concerned that the attack may have severely injured him.

"Leave now. I wouldn't want my tamers to have their bedtimes disturbed" A figure spoke from above them before coming down to face them.

There a small tanuki digimon with a strange bed head which resembled a certain trouble magnet. Bold green eyes glared at them with a fierce determination to keep his friends safe. He wore a scarf woven out of tanuki leaves. Probably where he pulled out the shuriken too. 

"I think we found our digimon selves" Mei said blankly. The bed headed tanuki was a dead give away in all honesty.

"That means that these two..." Shiramon looked at Angiras and Jelaxmi. "These two must be the human selves of Angoramon and Jellymon"

To think that her beloved Bunny is just as handsome as a human. Her heart is going into a beating frenzy while seeing two versions of her love. Makes her wonder if her human counterpart and him are dating.

"Look as my friend here was trying to say, we mean no harm. We are visitors to this world" Mei spoke while pulling Gammamon away from another shuriken.

"Well we did kind of assume they were attacking" Kivrasmon seemed to believe Mei story. The facts were in her favor after all.

"As annoying as they sound....We should at least hear them out, Rarukumon" Despite how much she hated to agree with the scaredy cat. Kivrasmon had a point about these strangers.

Thou don't make any mistake! They try anything and she make them fear her Chinchilla might! NO ONE SHALL HURT HER ANGIRAS!! NO ONE!!

"Still did you all have to break into our home? You are soo lucky I am such a kind soul. Otherwise, I would have asked Seikanmon to kick you all out" Jelaxmi shot the group a look before going to make the guests something to drink.

At least the outcome didn't break out into a battle. That and at least this version of Jellymon had hospitality. Still quite a brat but not too much like their mollusk.

After drinking some tea that Angiras prepared, the two groups began their discussion.

"Let me get this straight. You all are from another verse and came here to see our world. Solisamon can help travel to other worlds?" Rarukumon seemed to understand that their counterparts meant them no harm.

"Looks like this was a misunderstanding that could have took an awful turn had we not listen" Angiras held Melositamon close while showering her with head pats.

"Good thing we came to check on them. If Seikanmon did then conversation would be impossible" Jelaxmi chuckled to herself while her digimon prepared her boba tea.

Looks like no matter the verse, Jellymon still reigns as the alpha. Geez Kiyoshiro really can't catch a break can he?

"Seikanmon?" Solisamon asked. Gammamon cleaning the crumbs off her face from the rice crackers.

"Yes. That would be Shiri digimon partner. Shiri is our infiltrator while Seikanmon gets us all the intel we need from our enemies" Angiras explains. Then he blushes at the mental image of his girlfriend.

"Huh. I thought for sure that my himan name would be Akila" Shiramon thought that's how it would have worked.

"Oh that's her middle name. When her father adopted her, he gave her and her sister both an Egyptian middle name" Melositamon made sure to remember that since Angiras first introduced her to the team.

That boy was as bright red as a cherry the moment he met that girl. She was helping her father at the hospital then. Later to learn that she was a deadly assassin under the watchful eye of Bodhin Srirocco Akashiro and his digimon partner. Somehow they wormed the love to one another in their hearts.

"I'm just glad you all weren't with M.A.S.K" Kivrasmon sighs in relief.

"M.A.S.K?" Ruli repeated. Curious to learn more about it.

"They are a secret digimon only group that wants to do something to the humans of this world. They have thousands of members, five generals, two right hands, and their leader. The digimon known as "LIBERTY". They been attacking in secret while putting the act like they are good service digimon" A new voice entered the room. Green eyes flashed through the darkness like fog beams on a boat.

Stepping out of those very shadows was a five tail kitsune. Her fur was bright pink with black paws. Spiritual black markings covered her white chest fur and her rosey tails. She wore a pale white vest that had some sore of pin on it. Looked as if it was made by a fairy type digimon. Lastly, she had wrappings on her paws to show she was a fighter for close combat.

"Seikanmon!" Melositamon jumped from Angiras lap and hurry to hug her best friend.

Seikanmon was Shiri partner. Shiri was the human counterpart of Shiramon. That would mean that Seikanmon was.....this verse....Mei....

MEI WAS A PINK KITSUNE?! Oh now their is no way that Hiro would ever let Mei live this down. He is soooo making this the wallpaper of her caller ID. YES! YES!!! AT LONG LAST HE CAN HAVE HIS REVENGE!!

Mei seemed a tad annoyed that of all the species of digimon. She just HAD to get the one that looked so cute. Not saying that fox digimon looked weak, but couldn't she have gotten a cold bloodied animal instead?

"You're back!" Melositamon hugged her. Throwing in a few affectionate nuzzles.

"I was here earlier but wanted to see our guests movements. They show no ill intentions so far" She spoke in a monotone fashion. Completely ignoring the nuzzles Melositamon gave.

Yup! She is indeed Mei. Only difference between the two is that one is more welcoming to hugs now.

"How was your patrol? I know you been going out  four nights in row. You should rest" Rarukumon insisted but Seikanmon stopped him by raising her paw.

"It's fine. It gives me more to do with my limited freedom. It seems that I uncovered "LIBERTY" identity. The digimon known as Dijiangmon is their identity. Yet despite him being leader, someone in the shadows is pulling the strings" The Swapped Roles group gasped at this shocking information.

There was an even higher up than the "LIBERTY" whose face remained deep in the shadows?! Feels like a video game dungeon with hundreds of levels with a boss on the tenth level. From the looks of things..., they were getting close to their first tenth level.

The long sound of a creak interrupted the group before more questions could be asked. Two small shadows could be seen going down the stairs. There two small children who were about the ages of seven and six came down in matching pajamas.

One was a young boy with spikey white hair. His eyes glistened like the shiny gold coins that one finds in a treasure chest. He wore a head bandana which had two metal spikes which acted like horns. His pajamas were all white Triceratops head designs on them. Around his neck was a blue bandana.

The other had teal spikey hair but it was a bit longer than the boy's. Her eyes were also teal but a lighter shade.  than the hair. On her head happened to be a headband with two pink spikes that acted like horns. Her pajamas were pink with cute cherries on it.  Around her neck was necklace with a unique symbol on it.

Hiro had to cover his mouth with a tearful expression on his face. He never imagined that his younger siblings could be this adorable as humans. WHY ARE THEY SOOOOO CUTE?!

"Gaman! Soliessa!" Rarukumon went to the young children. "I'm sorry. Did we wake up?" He should have been more considerate to them. Being more quiet since they were still young.

"Heard voices" Soliessa yawned while holding her tiger plushie Sumomo. She must be tired if she is seeing a human Rarukumon.

"Raruku.....want...champions..." Gaman was in and out of sleep since he had a dream of a chocolate paradise.

"No. It's bed time for both of you. Come on now" He took their hands and guided the little ones back to their beds.

He would sing them their favorite lubally till they could have their dreams in the safety of slumberland. It was his role as their digimon and big brother figure after all.

"So those two are Rarukumon tamers?" Ruli asked still in awe with how cute those little cinnamon buns were.

"Yup! Rarukumon was actually once the digimon partner of Gulu. The older brother of Gaman and Soliessa before he disappeared one day. Leaving behind special digivices that link up so both can be partnered with the same digimon" Jelaxmi spoke while getting a back rub from Kivrasmon.

Didn't take any brains to see that Gulu was this verse version of Gulusgammamon. It was a shame he had gone missing.....they were all curious to see his human form.

"So what are your plans on handling M.A.S.K? Finding out the boss identity may make them come after you" From all the crime show anime he's been watching, Kiyo knew what happens in this type of situation.

"With Bodhin and Shiri away on other matters. That would leave the four of us going to confront Dijiangmon. Seikanmon will stay at home base in case they try to destroy it" Angiras looked to Seikanmon who nodded in agreement.

"Shiramon and I will stay too. Best to have an extra pair of eyes" Shiramon visor flashed when Mei spoke.

"Hmph. Try anything and I will destroy you" Seikan warned before going to turn in for the night.

Still not to trusting around others that she just met. Though that pin she wore caught Mei eyes. That seemed far too similar to that of a bracelet that house arrest prisons wear. Seems like this digimon holds more mystery than her.

Highly doubtful but still intriguing never the less. This may be second best investigation she has been on. The first was aiding Hanuel with a matter close to their heart. Their satisfy smile made breaking her arms with overusing digisoul worth it.

Since then, Mei has been developing a new way to call out the digisoul inherited from her grandfather. Being on guard dhty may help call it out again.

"That leaves the rest of us with each other. I call being with my human self!" Melositamon rushes to Ruli while getting a selfie pic with her. Her Digimedia page is going to blow up with sooo many comments!

Angiras and Angoramon chuckled nervously at how excited their partners were. Peas in a pod that became instant best friends.

"You can come with us. Just don't think I'll share the spotlight with you. I think I may sway your darling to come be mine" Jelaxmi teased while giving Kiyoshiro a peck on the cheek.

Jellymon fumed in rage. Whether this was a version of her or not. ONLY SHE CAN GIVE HER DARLING ANY FORM OF AFFECTION!

"Hope it doesn't blind you into falling off your high horse" Jellymon teased backed. Soon more insults spewed out of the girls mouth.

Kiyoshiro and Kivrasmon could only watch. Knowing all too well that this would only effect them later on. They should be working together....not quarreling as if they were enemies.

What was this? Sweetheart Idol?

"Guess that leaves only you and me" Rarukumon approached Hiro. His eyes fell on his sleeping siblings in his arms. "So this is the two of them as digimon huh?" He softly petted their heads to not distrub them.

"Yeah. Hard to believe they look so similar to their human counterparts" Hiro wondered if they grow to be more like their evos.

How exactly would their evolutionary stages look in human form? He could see Betel and Kaus but Wezen seemed more like an actual Triceratops. Solisamon evolutionary stages could probable have human counterparts.

He may have to ask Blues for human disguises for undercover missions to test it out.

The group decided to turn in for the night so they could be well rested for the possible fight against Dijiangmon. Team Lirurun would only offer support since they couldn't involve themselves in this verse matters. It was in chapter four hundred fifteen of Centuriomon rulebook.

That and he may be even more upset if they were to bother him while he was on his break.

Soliessa and Gaman were playing with Solisamon and Gammamon. Felt nice to play with others their own age for a change. Seems like Soliessa also had a diamond pattern on her head. A birthmark that never seemed to fade away.

Angiras read a book at the table while drinking his morning tea. He seemed happy that his digimon counterpart had the same routine. Ruli and Melositamon were doing adance video for Digimedia. Help promote the fact that digimon and humans can be friends with one another.

Jelaxmi seemed business on the phone, her manager wanted to go over a few modeling events she would attend later that week. One being a fundraiser to help keep the ocean jealthy and clean. Jellymon was texting her fellow business digimon on her digiphone, that she may have gotten with her Darling credit card. Seems like the Digimon Farm was helping feed all the baby digimon who came with Quartzmon.

Kiyoshiro and Kivrasmon discussed their favorite spells froma mutual anime series that they watched. Verses apart and the fact they are obsessed with anime does NOT change.

Mei and Shiramon still were resting in the guest room. Hiro thought she may be hiding herself away from how embarrassing her digimon form looked. He has to show Hanuel when they get back. They MUST see this perfect revenge blackmail opportunity.

Seikanmon had not come down either. According to the others, this was normal for her since she been in some "Bad" situations. Gaining that kitsune trust is quite the feat to pull off.

How Shiri and Melositamon managed to do it still boggled the minds of Team Mantra to this day.

As for the two TMs of the group? The two had woken up extra early to prepare the rest of their teams some breakfast. Still unreal how the ones that bring the most trouble were the cooks of each team.

A miracle that the kitchen stays in one  piece. Considering sometimes the smoke alarm would sound off every now and then.

"Soliessa is fun! Human me is cute!" Solisamon giggles as Soliessa nuzzled her.

Gaman and Gammamon were play fighting. Both seeking to see who was stronger. The human form or the genuine digimon.

"Seems like you all are getting along" A holoscreen appeared aboved the table. Displaying the silhouette of a fairy digimon.

"Oh! Perisiamon!" Gaman smiled at the figure.

"Hello Gaman. You taking care of your little sister?" A chuckle was in their tone. Must be happy to talk to their young friend.

"Yeah! If anyone hurts Soliessa then I make them go KA-BOOM!!" He put on his best scary face.

"I know you will. Now is what Seikanmon said true? Dijiangmon is in fact "LIBERTY"? More so, that he is a pawn to someone hiding deeper in the shadows?" Seriousness took over their voice. Getting down to business right away.

Giving off the vibes of a certain detective of the group. That would make that Bodhin guy, the tamer of this digimon.

THIS WAS PRICELESS! Both Mei and Hanuel who were the most serious members.....were adorable digimon in this verse. Hiro would have blackmail for days!

"Yes. Seikanmon confirm this after patrolling as you ordered" Angiras didn't move his eyes from his book.

"Seems like releasing those two from custody to aid us was indeed the right call. Please handle Dijiangmon till ai get back. Keep an eye on HER as well" Perisiamon did not trust those criminals. Not after what they did to his close friends.

Due to Shiri and Seikanmon background, the two had vauble talents that would've been wasted in the cold void known as jail. Perisiamon pulled a few strings with help from their contacts. Now Shiri and Seikanmon were under their watchful eye. To pay off their debt for the number of crimes commited.

Being in a romantic relationship with Shiri. Angiras did NOT appreciate how his girlfriend was used as a government dog.

"We should be careful....Dijiangmon is a m-mega level digimon. Remember that we are all still rookie level..." Kivrasmon looked pale than his usual albino color. Trembling violently like a frigid cold was passing through him.

"You can't always be scared, Newt" Jelaxmi lifted Kivrasmon by the hood of his cloak. The amphibious digimon squirmed  in her superhuman grip.

"Mega?" Soliessa and Gaman tilted their heads. Looking to Rarukumon for the answers as they did when they didn't know the answer.

"We digimon have a level system that labels our evolutionary growth. Digitamas are the starting stage for all digimon that hatch from them. Then baby form mimick that of human infants. In training digimon are more similiar to toddler just with more animal qualities. Rookies like us are children digimon. Champions are adults. Ultimates are powerful adults that have tremendous strength and have accumulated great knowledge. As for Megas...." Rarukumon paused to find the right way to describe mega level digimon.

"Megas are EPIC WARRIORS AND GODS!!!" Melositamon butted into the conversation. Dramatic music playing from her digiphone.

"She is right though there are higher stages beyond mega that are still unknown to us" Rarukumon rubbed his ears from how annoyingly loud the music was.

That chinchilla truly has never heard of headphones huh? This tanuki knows what to get her for christmas!

The group quickly ate their breakfast before heading out to confront Dijiangmon. Thankfully the milk helped die down the burn omelets which Hiro made. He got distracted with Gammamon trying to lift Solisamon mid air. Rarukumon had a similar issue with Soliessa and Gaman trying to give one another hair cuts. Over all, the rest of the breakfast was quite delicious.

According to the news stations and a leak that ADORED Melositamon Digimedia page. The two groups learned that M.A.S.K would be going to overtake the mayor office since the mayor caught a terminal illness. The illness came all of the sudden after a meeting with M.A.S.K themselves. Far too much of a coincidence.

How the local authorities haven't put two and two is beyond all of them. You know they are bad at their jobs if kids are the true heroes flushing away the evil organizations. Police may want to recruit a few of them to be junior law enforcement.

Dijiangmon would be by himself for the first time since coming to the human world. Making this the once in a lifetime golden opportunity to strike while the fated iron is hot. It will be extremely risky but it will be worth it.

Especially if it means they can learn the identity of the true mastermind being the puppeteer of the shadows. They may have intel about Gulu disappearance as well.

Hopefully home base would be doing already while a large majority of the team was out.

"You sure that traitor Seikanmon is here?" A Vilemon asked the Deputymon next to him.

"Yeah. We hacked that pin that Perisiamon put on her. Boss wants us to delete her before she learns more" Deputymon replyed to the demon digimon while shooting the lock on the door.

Little were they expecting a human girl and a wolf digimon that resembled Shiri the WRATHFUL assassin.

"Hello boys, we have three breakfast items on the menu. Courtesy of KICKOURANT. A Kickwich served with a glass of bits and tears" Mei cracked her knuckles. Been awhile since she last found.

"A health bowl of Kunaisin cereal with milk made from all the tears of pain. Served with toast on how bad you'll get roasted" Shiramon visor flashed a dangerous red color. Baring her fangs at her newest targets to take out.

"Or your final choice. "Spazio Kupla" as a hard to turn down first course before getting a full flavor of my "ZaoSoul Nyrkki"" Seikan green eyes glew immensely with mystic magic. Only which a Kitsune could possible hope to possess.

It was in that moment when the two intruders realized that they were going to be deleted in the most painful way possible.

The other members of the teams were laying in wait for Dijiangmon to make a move. He was set to arrive at their location in six minutes.

"He may have us outed level but maybe if we combine our attacks then we can knock him down" Rarukumon explained to the others.

"He'll see why I am called the "Jewel Voice" of the digital world" Melositamon grinned.

"We can't delete him. Many humans see M.A.S.K as the protectors of this city. We should only get information" The last thing the group wanted was to be labelled outlaws. That would only make future missions worst.

"I-If things get too dangerous....Can we run away?" Kivrasmon pleaded with his blue amphibious eyes. Scared that he could get deleted from this assault.

"As much as that sounds like a cowardly move. Kivrasmon has a point. They do out rank us in both numbers and power. The moment the battle becomes too much to handle then we flee" Jelaxmi may be stubborn but she can't help but agree with her Newt digimon on this one.

After all, she saw firsthand how terrible M.A.S.K truly is when members of her modeling agency were assualted and put into critical conditions. That feeling of helplessness had spark a burning desire to put an end to those monsters! Kivrasmon came to her soon after and the rest is seen in the present.

They can NOT fail to lose their resistance group right now. Not with so many innocents that were harmed because of that mon.

On cue, Dijiangmon arrived from the air. A few of his talisman tags came off from flying at such speeds. He took a few steps to the door but paused. His nose could smell the faint scents of sweat, fear, and a rosey perfume.

"CoMe OuT cHiLdReN.....i KnOw YoU aRe ThErE ......tHe ShAdOwS cAnNoT hIdE yOuR fEaR" The distorted voice spoke from the large winged digimon. Creey chuckles that could make one's ears bleed could be heard as well.

DARN IT! He knew that they were there?! He truly is a monster if he could sense fear as well as a predator or a hunting dog.

All shot glaring eyes at Kiyoshiro and Kivrasmon who were natural sources of fear. Though to everyone surprise.....Solisamon was just as scared as them.Her teal eyes were filled to the brim with fear of the monster.

"Ah..It SeEms ThAt...We MeEt AgAiN....mUlTiVeRsE hErO" Dijiangmon did not need eyes to feel the familiar glow which only a "Pure" digimon possessed.

"H-how you know....Solisamon?"  She struggled to summon her sword. Trying her best to be brave right now.

"......" Dijiangmon choose to not divulge the rookie with the answer. Only to ask another question. "WhY sHoUlDn'T i kNoW aBoUt ThE "EnD bRiNgEr'S fAtEd VeSsEl?"

Fated vessel? Who was the End Bringer? The name was making her head hurt as if something was trying to take control over her.

"ENOUGH TALK!" Rarukumon used his "Feuille Shurikens" to throw his weaponized leaves at the demon.

"The only questions that we want answered are ours!" Melositamon used her "Crystal Gemelody" to hurt Dijiangmon with crystal music.

"Y-you'll be sorry that you ever hurt Jelaxmi sama friends!"  Kivrasmon yelled from the corner ge hid in. Launching out his "Melma Toxire" from his flammable body slime.

"For those you hurt...." Jelaxmi refused to let her friends down!

"The dreams that your organization crushed....." Angiras tighten his fists at the memory.

A close friend of his who he had consider as a brother. The two shared a deep devotion to be "Explorers of Knowledge", to show all the history of the world which all brush aside thanks to technology nowadays. Then M.A.S.K scientists showed up. Making his best friend their guinea pig till he was now a blood hunger cannibal. He had to put down his friend.... Even now he feels guilty to visit the grave. Melositamon vowed to remain by his side the night they found one another.

Ever since that day. Angiras promise to make M.A.S.K pay for destroy those dreams of his fallen friend.

"Causing beloved family members to disappear. Knowing full well that they have younger siblings or parents who deeply worry about them. Not knowing if they still have children that they should be waiting for anymore...." Rarukumon took a second to look back at Gaman and Soliessa.

They looked sad to remember that their older brother Gulu was still lost out there. Not knowing where their beloved older sibling was....a painful sting to their hearts.

Those looks that were on the verge of giving up all hope, the very ones that Rarukumon fights so desperately back at. He would protect their smiles until the day came where they found Gulu again.

"TeAm MaNtRa...." At least the demon knows who they are. Rare considering how small their group is.

Rarukumon....how noble of him to keep up the fight when his former partner has all but abandoned it. Shall he tell the group of their last encounter? No. He shall save it so that the trust around them will crumble like dust.

Hiro and the rest of Team Lirurun seemed to go unnoticed. Possibly because they were not of this verse and their signatures couldn't be detected by the winged demon.

Solisamon however was a different matter entirely. "Multiverse Hero"  was known to most of the digiverses. Lumosmon helped keep them all save till End Bringer robbed her of her memories.

That and whatever Dijiangmon said to her had really messed up her head. Felt as if a painful surge of electricity was wrecking havoc in her mind. Trying to get her forfeit her control over her body and allow someone else to take control.

The last thing they needed was Solisamon to act strange. Please...Please do NOT let End Bringer out.... It's only giving Dijiangmon satisfaction that he is right. That and End Bringer isn't exactly their friend either.

Dijiangmon didn't take much damage from the attacks. Probably only had a alight headache from Melositamon attack. He had to admit that his master was right in stating how much potential these children had. To think that his BOSSES ordered him to test this digi destinies.

Though he would not make this test easy. If he was going to see if these children can take on M.A.S.K  true boss, might as well have a bit of fun with them. Before he came to the human realm and became the leader of the digital organization. Dijiangmon was a digimon who was highly wanted for all the lives he took.

The Digimon King Shoutmon had him locked away in the most secure digital prison. It is the most impossible cell that no one could escape from. Air struggled to get through the cracks of the obisian walls. Chains that weight the same amount as a country restrainted him in place. He had believed this would be where he would spend the rest of his days....

That was what he believed....till his bosses came to free him. Releasing him from the infernal prison which only the King himself had the ability to do so.

Ever since, Dijiangmon has swore his entire devotion towards them. The black haired human with violet flame colored eyes and a digimon whose fu was similar to that of the King.

"DON'T YOU DARE IGNORE US!!" Melositamon yelled before releasing "Marimba Gesto" from her digiphone.

The ear splitting sound nearly knocked out everyone unconcious. Angoramon brought to his knee because of his sensitive hearing. Who has a ringtone that loud?!!

"Cy Gust!" Jelaxmi called out the order which Kivrasmon send to her via their telepathic link.

"Be p-punished fiend!" Focusing the water stone on his staff to concrete water moisture in the air. The water then took a form of a weapin of air and water, striking Dijiangmon at full force.

Dijiangmon shook it off as if his leather body only got rained on. This was their full power?

"Let me give them help. They will die from him. You KNOW this is true. Allow me to grant Rarukumon a fragment of energy and I promise they will survive" After a month of silence. Mister Voice spoke in her mind.

"No....You only use Solisamon! Stop tricking me!" Solisamon remembered how terrified Hiro looked after her first time talking to Mister Voice.

Not seeing her as his sweet sister that he loved. Instead it was if she did something that left him frozen in pure fear. How he couldn't look at her during the rest of the day. Sweat bullet nightmares which plagued him for several nights afterwards.

"How is me offering another power effecting you? True that I would require your body to transfer the energy. Just thirty seconds is all I need. You must think of it like this. You can be HELPLESS by watching these young digi destinies die. They have only just started in being heroes. Standing absolute no chance if they haven't unlocked evolution. Team Lirurun may try to interfere but it only delays fate for ten minutes. Only a member of MANTRA can put him to his end" Sadly Mister Voice was right. This was a battle for Team MANTRA and them alone.

Them getting involve would only prevent these Digi Destinies from achieving their journeys.

"Okay....but one condition. Please...no hurt family or friends...." The least she could do was assure that no one she cherishes gets hurt by Mister Voice

"Very well. I vow not to harm them" With that Solisamon surrendered her control. Allowing Mister Voice to take the reins of her body.

Team Mantra were all down at this time. One hit of his "Wicked Spiral" had knocked them all out. Melositamon and Kivrasmon were glitching in and out of existance. Angiras catching Jelaxmi in time before they collided full force against the dumpster. Gaman and Soliessa were thrown back into the wall of the Mayor building. Even the memvers of Team Lirurun had fallen from the might of the Mega digimon attack.

Only three were left standing. Rarukumon who refused to fall, to let Dijiangmon take over the city with the position of Mayor. Dijiangmon who looked rather disappointed from lack of a decent challenge. Finally Solisamon who stood in silence. The impact having no effect like something had protected her.

The other digimon didn't noticed the that her eyes were no longer a teal color. Now they were the fiery red color of lava that held a demonic darkness to them. Too focus on one another to sense that a different data signature took her over.

"Take this"  End Bringer snapped Solisamon fingers to send a flame of dark energy into Rarukumon digital core.

There the energy seeded itself in Rarukumon digital core. Pouring the Demonic Dragon power straight up into it. The tanuki felt a surge of pain radiating with evey bit in his program. Felt as if a parasitic being tried to take over his body cell by cell.

"Parasi Invaders" was not the best movie to watch since he couldn't stop thing about it. Why would these thoughts come up in this fight?!

"I gift you my power child. A one time privilege that only a small handful are granted. Allow your ANGER to seize you heart. DARKNESS to cloud yourind. DESTROY THAT MONSTER WHO ONLY MADE YOUR DEAR SIBLINGS SUFFER" A voice tempted Rarukumon who obeyed. Painful memories of Gulu getting taken filled his mind.

Dijiangmon had been the one linked to Gulu gling missing. Bringing him to the boss that truly pulled the strings. They only needed a name,this digimon was NOT NEEDED.

In blind rage....Rarukumon used all the power that End Bringer send him into a single attack. His most powerful fighting technique "Enne Nippon". The omen filled attack that has been harnessed through Tanuki martial arts in the digital world.

That attack alone took one of Dijiangmon wings clean off. Could have completely delted him if a masked figure had not blocked it.

"My, My. You have quite the power. At Rookie level no less" The figure hand got massive burns from the attack. Amazed how much destruction could be focus on that single strike alone.

"You...!! You're the true boss of M.A.S.K! Why are you doing all this?! Why did you take away Gulu?!" Rarukumon demanded to know. End Bringer power up wearing off while looking at the figure with cold eyes.

"Him? Ah yes, the young boy who was foolish to take on a digimon with only a rookie digimon at his side. I can assure you that he is indeed alive. That is all I can say about the matter though" The figure placed a hand on Dijiangmon who kept howling in pain. "We need to get that treated" Then she summoned a metal orb before throwing it.

"Flaring Strike!" The ball hit Rarukumon out cold. All both to escape.

Solisamon rush to go after them. To learn who the digimon behind the mask was. Her body was depleted from allowing Mister Voice control over her. All the surroundings around her began to grow dark.

"Come on kid" The last thing that Solisamon heard before a familiar figure picked her up.

Centuriomon had watched everything from his domain. Knowing all too well that she would be inno shape to get everyone home. Best to take everyone back and make them think of this all as a dream.

"Swapped Roles" had their purpose in this verse. Perhaps it was unfair that a being from their world got permission from Milady herself to be the "Villian" of this place.

Reasons to test a few versions of Digi Destinies to stop a certain event from repeating again. To see if humans truly are trustworthy to digimon.

"You he been through alot kid. Remember that you forge your own path. Predetermined fates and prophecies don't make your life how it is now. It's okay to be you" He whispered at the worn out oni child in his arms.

This was his best friend after all. He would help her out once in a well but truth be told, they hang out more then one would believe.

How else would they discover fun verses like "Party Town" or "Amusement Paradise". He had to keep his mouth shut about the "Book Utopia" verse if he didn't want the book lovers of the group to spent years there.

Probablybest that Bokomon was in DigiHarmony making kissy face with his Neamon. Funny how only Hanuel was called but Bokomon cleared his WHOLE schedule to go with him. Pumpmon could have went yet Bokomon insisted that his knowledge would be best suited.

Oh if only he had a better poker face to believe such an obvious lie. The faint rosey blush that appears on his goblin face was the BIGGEST giveaway ever.

"You'll be out for an hour at most. That is how long it will take to get you all home" Centuriomon tapped Pendulum on the ground to levitate Team Lirurun into the portal. "Still have to get young Mi- I mean young Hoshi...." He had to mind his tongue. That is. sacred information that only a selected few should know about.

He should pick up Mei Hoshi and Shiramon. May have to erase their memories of this place. He should have told them what happened when Lumos came without Gulus....

How some digimon despised her for taking our a digimon who posed as their savior. To be hated and ridiculed for stopping a grave evil from destroying this verse. Just shows how easily trusting others are to one who wears the title of a hero. Not knowing that the one taken out was merely a false that don on the mask of one.

Best that this child doesn't remember......Would her heart be able to bare news that she did an act that she could no longer remember? For the first time in his life, Centuriomon rather not know that answer.

He would label "Swapped Roles" an off limit verse till discussing the matter more with Milady. They also had to be sure that End Bringer power was no longer in Rarukumon body. The last thing they needed was a tainted trouble magnet.

They already have far too many on their plates as is. Don't have to stir the pot with even more of them. The "Verse Keeper" has his hands full with a certain two alone.

.......Yeah. He was going to de-stress about this whole ordeal in "Party Town" verse. He needed a good mug of Digi oil after all this. Maybe he should invite his friends. Solisamon had yet to meet Yvliamon and Wonmon. Jenesismon and Smolumon would be saved to meet at a later date.

Those two.....well those two were the wild cards of the group. He is still trying to get the honey out of his gears because of the last stunt they pulled on him.

"Let's get you all home" Centuriomon would need to report this to Quantumon as well. They did ask for all updates on End Bringer after all.

************************************
The masked figure finished treating Dijiangmon who was now resting. Waiting for them was a human.

His spikey hair was a jet black color with light neon violet highlights at the end. His eyes were like demonic violet flames that burned with enough intensity to make them feared. His face, arms, and legs were covered in a tattoo markings made by a special GRB ink of his own design. Wearing a dark leather jacket and leather pants. Just like the "Swapped Roles" famous underworld gang leader "The Jet Black Champion".

"You agreed that Gaman and Soliessa wouldn't be harmed if I joined your side" He let out a growl. Shooting daggers at the masked figure.

"He only knocked them out. No harm as we agreed upon in your terms" Unfazed by his anger. The mask figure had grown used to it by now.

"The PRINCESS of the Digital world. One who got the blessings of a higher being that is a goddess above all to venture to other verses. Permission by the King to be the villian" Gulu spoke. Watching the masked figure slowly remove her disguise.

Chusimon fixing her crimson fur from how messed up it became while under the mask. A few tangles whould need a fine coming later.

Chusimon may be a rare  X-Antibody Dragon digimon who was born this way. Her body had a thick layer of crimson red fur that sparked like the rubies in the sunlight. Her underbelly was all white with a V shaped fur tuff underneath her neck. Her eyes are now to have two colors. Blue when she is calm while not facing any battle hardships. Amber shows her more primal side which displays the natural battle instincts. Partially from her parents while a large majority of her skill is from her alone. Purple X markings were on her arms, legs, and tail. A red stone which greatly resembles her mother's can be found on her forehead though it is golden yellow color. Three black claws were on each hand along with a fur covered nub. Her legs were similar to the Beast type which made her quite agility on her feet. Her tail was the same length of her mother's but it's has her father's design. 

"I may be the Princess. That means of my father ever decides to open more of the digital world to the human realm. I must make sure that we do not have acts of betrayal that will lead to death of fellow digimon. Humans would be at risk as well if we don't take precautions" Her mother partner died from one who she believe was a dear friend. Only to be backstabbed to her death.

With more Digi Destinies now in the world, the chances of that happening only grew higher with each day that passes. The last thing that both worlds  need if Team Lirurun is working hard for their country.

"I understand your reasons for this but...." Gulu paused when an image of his younger siblings appeared in his mind. "...I don't want my younger siblings to be hurt"

"Gulu. Even if we were to set the most easy to defeat digimon after them. We both know that we are NOT the only ones who will be after them. Many dangers are in store for Digi Destinies. Even the most well enforced shield will be broken through over time. We can trust that as they travel with Rarukumon, the two shall grow into a powerful team" Chusimon words spoke both comfort and truth to the worried older brother.

"......" Gulu got up and left to inform the other members of M.A.S.K that Dijiangmon wouldn't be on duty till he recovered.

Chusimon sat at her seat beside the throne. Exchausted from having to put Team MANTRA through another test of trust within bonds of humans and digimon. The group has passed the first couple tests with no problems so far.

Lately she wondered if what she was doing was right. Her obseberations seem to back up the bonds of Humans of Digimon were geniune. No signs of either side betraying one another.

That couldn't allow to forgot the fate that fell upon Lily Lupus because of that awful person betrayal. She MUST make sure that never happen ever again. It did not ease the aching feeling of betrayal  in her core.

"How are you doing my little Princess" King Shoutmon arrived in the throne room. Greeting his precious daughter with a kiss on the forehead.

"Hello father-" A tight hug from Shoutmon caught her off guard.

"Enough of the formalities. Chusimon my dear fiery lotus flower. Only my daughter and trust friends can be friendly with me" He sat on his throne and relaxed from a long day of royal duties.

"Sorry Papa.. I just had another one of those days" She let out another exhausted sigh, resting her head in her palm.

"You shouldn't doubt overthrow your mission. I think that you are doing is perfect sweetie pie. Preventing the same incident that caused us to lose Lily...." How he missed one of his greatest allies. The one who saved the love of his life.

"I know but it seems that my tests isn't exposing the doubt in the human digimon bonds. All it seems to prove that all nothing can destroy them. Conflict and crisis only ever seemed to strength them.

UGH WHY ARE ALL PARTNERSHIPS JUST SO PERFECT?! CAN'T ONE BE PLAGUED WITH DOUBT?!

Shoutmon chuckled. Chusimon had his anger yet Dorumon strong desire to accomplish her goals. The perfect mix of both parents.

"It only shows that our worries of partner betrayals are less likely to happen. Your tests may be increase the bonds so betrayal may never happen ever" He smiled but noticed that Chusimon had fallen asleep.

Dorumon would be proud that their daughter is looking to the protect the very bonds that they had with their partners a long time ago.

It is still worrisome how many new Digi Destinies are popping up nowadays. It would greatly impacted the relationships of humans and digimon. Death on either side could possible severe the connection.

Chusimon may be viewed as villian to the eyes of others. Not realizing the reasoning behind her goals. Many may despite her for doing these acts without a shred of explaination.

Though ask someone this. If these tests could prevent the lost of a dear friend, would a team not take it head on?

To stop an upcoming betrayal which could destroy a vaule member of the team that can not be brought back. Even if it means bringing down her own image to the whole race of digimon....

THERE WILL BE NO MORE TAMERS TO FALL BY A HAND THAT THEY ONCE SAW AS FRIENDLY!
