Solisamon was yet again left behind on a another group activity. This time it was one that may put a target on the little one's back. Therefore a group vot had been held, stating that Solisamon would be benched back home. Hiro promised he make it up her by giving her a full day of fun. Gulus whispering promises of sweets and movies once he got back. For now she remained back at home base. This time would be different. Since two members of the team chose to stay behind to look after her.

Two of their most skilled new members at that.

They're names were Mei Hoshi and Hanuel Srirocco Akashiro. The two newest members of Team Lirurun since Quantumon introduced them to the team to help combat an upcoming threat known as End Bringer. Both having similar ties to the common enemy. One investigating the matter with the aid of a friend. The other having a personal lost caused by the foul villian. Both having to tackle their own troubles before meeting the group. All with the aid of their digimon partners.

Appearances can fool you. One look at these two can make you doubt they are what they really are.

Mei Hoshi is practically the master of gathering information. There was nothing that she did not already have intel on. Best not get on her bad side if one wishes to keep their secrets hidden. Mei also happened to also be a skilled fighter, as she has inherited "Digisoul" from her grandfather Marcus Damon. Just shows that there is more to this girl than her brain alone. Mei tends to act cold to others at first. Past events have harden her heart to make it hard to open up to others. Though once she opens up to someone, she will immediately becomes a sisterly figure to them.

Her digimon partner Luprismon who everyone knows better as Shiramon. Hating her true name which reminded her of her painful past, choosing a new name to try to forget it all. Not a name of a great hunter styled fighter or a monstrous wolf creature of mythology. Now other than a highly skilled assassin, Shiramon was also a great motherly figure. Putting others ahead of herself in any kind of situations. Shiramon is also the Sin Code Digimon who bares the Wrath sin code. The former leader of the Knights of Dead before turning traitor. Putting a stop to them and her sister. Even stopping the ultimate queen of sins, Malicemon. Also happens to be the wife to Angoramon.

Even after the rebirth after Malicemon defeat. Angoramon never gave up on their love.

The two of them are blishing love birds. Ah, the classic tale of the nerd and the assassin. What better love story is there?

Hanuel Srirocco Akashiro is like the digiverse very own Sherlock Holmes. The only member of the team who possesses two digimon partners. The one who found Bokomon's digitama and became partners with Pumpmon. Had quite a hard time trusting others due to a event of the past. Well it was actually a few events to be honest. Not too keen in trusting those with Digivices. Even less keen in trusting Mei because of her actions.

Causing the two to have a very rough time working together. Like the two were oil and water. Multi fights and accusations thrown at both sides, either really willing to open up to one another.

Though working together helped the two to reconciled. Burying their past quarrels has not only made them strong allies, but also great friends and partners. Both still healing from wounds of emotional trauma from their turmoil from their pasts. Thankifully they now have good friends to help get them through it.

So when Solisamon asked for their aid in assisting a digiverse, how could they possible say no. Tricking to say no to those teal eyes was as impossible as counting grains of sand on every beach of the world. Mei even admits defeat when going against Solisamon cute face. From what the Oni digimon told them is that a familiar place in another digiverse was in trouble.

One that made Bokomon and Mei rush into the portal with speeds that rivaled light.

A place which went by the name "DigiHarmony". Deeply concealed in the forest of Tokoyo. A village for digimon to live safely from any humans. A safe haven for all digimon to live without fear of humans hurting them. Worse if they are being used by humans just to fulfill their own greedy desires. In DigiHarmony, digimon can truly live peacefully. Businesses and events held at the village always tend to keep it lively. Friends like Gotsumon and Gigasmon live there which resulted in both finding a place where they can truly belong.

This was all made possible by two digimon. These two digimon held a very dear place in both Mei and Bokomon's hearts.

The first being Neemon who happened to be the dear love of Bokomon. Also the parent of Herissmon, the digitama which both Bokomon and Neemon adopted together. Poor digitama would have died if the two didn't save it from the harsh cold weather. He is the right hand to the digimon who first made "DigiHarmony".

The other digimon and the founder of "DigiHarmony" was a digimon who goes by the name Luisa. A human soul who merged with that of a digimon who was nearing deletion. Ever since then, Luisa became a Renamon. With Neemon and the villagers help, "DigiHarmony" has become a huge family.

Soon the group landed in the digiverse which they came to help as they were requested to. Shiramon having to catch Pumpmon before his head was smashed against the rock he was nearing. Solisamon and Hanuel had no problems with the landing since they were quick on their feet.

"Where friends go?" Pumpmon looked around to see where Bokomon and Mei ran off too.

How can they just run off like that?! THEY WERE GOING TO BE TROUBLE MAGNETS LIKE HIRO AT THIS RATE!

Hanuel sighed as they felt as they would be the only braincell of the group for the whole duration of their time here.

Luckily for them, Solisamon had visited this verse a few times in the past. The verse being a rather peaceful one out of the countless others.  It shocked Solisamon to hear a cry of help from them, something MUST have happened bad then.

They soon arrived at "DigiHarmony" where a pair of Kotemon were guarding the entrance. Seems like this village had the same type of security as the one back home. Low and behold, Mei and Bokomon were demanding to get inside. Urging to meet with the founders right away.

"Let us in please! This is a matter of life and death! My husband other verse self may be in danger!" Bokomon explained as he tried to climb over the kento sticks of the digimon.

"LET. ME. THROUGH" Mei glared coldly at guards. Her signature glare had never failed to scare.

"S-sorry but we have no records of Founder Neemon or his assistant Luisa having known a human or a Bokomon" The Kotemon on the right struggled to answer as he hid behind the one on the left.

Just when the two were ready to miscle their way through by force, the rest of the gang arrived to hold them back. Solisamon explained to the guards that they were friends of hers, thus they were granted entry.

"Solisamon filled me in on this world. Everyone role here is swapped. Meaning that Bokomon of this world is still in the Digital World with amnesia, or with the Hanuel here. There is a chance that ones from here never met us" That explaination seemed to clear a few things up.

"We should explore without CAUSING trouble" Shiramon looked two as if she was scolding two misbehaving children.

Here she thought that Solissmon would need to be watched. Clearly she was mistaken! This would be such a headache later.

It seemed that their worries may have been misplaced, since nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Just a few things seemed different.

As the group was looking for the two founders, Pumpmon and Solisamon got a whiff of a sweet aroma. Following their noses to find a candy shop. It was in the very location that Gotsumon and Lopmon bakery. "Bunny Rock Sweets" was the name of the shop before them. Outside was Lopmon who was trying to put out a fire of melting rock candy.

"Oh no! I messed up big brother's new recipe! He's going to be so mad once he finds out" The little rabbit shook like a leaf trembling in the wind. Her paws were slightly burned.

Just as she put out the fire, Gotsumon just happen to come behind her. He seemed to be coming from getting ingredents to make more sweets.

"Lopmon" Gotsumon voice made her froze in place.

"Yes big brother?" Her voice trembled with fear of the she expected to come.

His eyes saw the burning candy tray that was now a black charred pile near them. His little sister scared face. Then finally her paws that were red from the burns of either the hot tray or getting the tray from the oven. He set down the bag in his hands down before taking her paws into his hands.

"I'm not mad." He told her that to ease any panic. "Let's treat these burns and then make an even better batch of "Digihoney crystallized Rock Candy". What do you say?" He winked at her and smiled. Guiding her back in the shop.

Lopmon nodded. Seeming to be saying she was sorry, despite how it was clear that Gotsumon wasn't mad at her for the candy. More concerned her health and safety.

"So here, Gotsumon owns candy shop and is big brother to Lopmon. She was once held prisoner by a cruel hroup of humans. She escaped and he found her" Solisamon explained to Pumpmon as they decided it best to get back to the group.

"Glad friend is safe now" Pumpmon nodded.

Though it was a different digiverse, it seems that there things that stayed the same.

Wonder how their Lopmon and Gotsumon would react to seeing their counterparts like this?

Shiramon and Bokomon decided to look around as a pair. Both looking for any trace of Neemon or Luisa, with little results to go on.

There they saw a humanoid digimon with blackish green hair tied back with thorny vines with soft red lilies with black centers, a tiara made out of black tree bark rest on her head. Red orbs with a warm love for the flowers they were currently tending. Their skin was a yellowish orange color with green spore specks on her arms and legs. A dress made out of red moss that was covered by black thorns around her waist and black daisies covered the entire dress. More thorn covered vines coiled around her arms like snakes. Only stoping at the wrists of her hands. Her legs also had thorn covered vines that completely covered the legs themselves. The digimon was completely bare footed.

Now this was new. Neither Shiramon or Bokomon recognize this digimon. Not one they seen from the "DigiHarmony" from their verse. Bokomon never hearing of such a digimon that he witnessed before his very eyes. Shiramon surely did not know the strange digimon either.

Hard to know things when one spends most of their existance being made to a modified assassin with the Wrath Sin code. Thanks alot, HIM! Way to rob one of a childhood and make them a socal outcast!

Bokomon took a step back which snap the smallest twig that made the LOUDEST snap imaginable.

That got the digimon attention as she snapped her head to her uninvited guests direction. Her eyes than glew a soft red color as tree roots came to bring the two closer to them.

"Can't move..." Bokomon could feel the root coil tightly around his body. Breathing became much more harder as the root squeezed tighter.

Shiramon attempted to get her kunai to cut through the roots. Sadly her arms were being crushed by the pressure.

Was this the end?....

"Momma! I'm back! I made my first table!" A voice caused the digimon to drop Bokomon and Shiramon.

Both were thanking their lucky stars as they gasped for the sweet air into their lungs. Thank you to the owner of the voice for saving their lives.

They saw a small Caprimon dragging a small three legged table that was big enough for a baby digimon like himself.

The humaniod digimon picked him up ever so softly as if he were a thin piece of glass.

"I got an A+ at Woodshop! Soon I'll be able to be a builder! Then I can make the houses that you can decorate!" Caprimon spoke excitedly as his little racoon tail wagged.

"Wait...doesn't Caprimon become Gigasmon?" Shiramon coughed out. Struggling to get her legs to let her stand up.

"Yes. On rare occasions, though not very often. If this Caprimon is the Gigasmon of this verse then......" His eyes slightly widened at the realization.

The digimon before him was a new evolution to Budmon! That would also explain her lack of speaking. Guess the poor girl is a mute here too.

"Momma, are these friends of yours? Solisamon told me about bring friends here" The humaniod digimon blinked at the baby digimon words.

Her eyes held an apologetic look at the two that she had nearly turned into digitamas. She had believed they were ememy digimon that wanted to attack the village. An incident from her past caused her to nearly transform a class into floral life with "Florafication". A young boy had corrected her, yet her nerves were still on edge. Especially once Caprimon came into her life. A member of the builder's team of "DigiHarmony". The Homemaker since the others would not dare let her help with the construction.

"It's okay, as a fellow mother I know how it feels to be protective of one's family" Shiramon has proven time after time that she always protect those she loves.

Bokomon nodded, rubbing his sore neck. Splinters of bark could be feeled. None deep enough to draw blood or cause injuries.

"I'm Caprimon! This here is my mother Nemesiamon. Nice to meet you!" Caprimon hopped over to them.

After a few minutes of chatting, that and an apologizes. They left to rejoin their human partners.

While waiting for their partners, Mei and Hanuel were resting by the crisp clear lake where soft green leaves floated down. Soft ripples in the water.

"I never thought I see the day that you would charge in without thinking. Maybe Hiro is finally rubbing off on you. Huh Mei?" Hanuel joked as he gave Mei a warm tea which a Lalamon had offered them.

Mei however did not take the tea. She exhaled deeply as her mind appeared to elsewhere. Not like Mei to be spacing out like this.

Hanuel could see that her heart held pain. The girl stone cold face had a tell when she was suffering, her eyes would be holding back tears that were not there. Another sign was how she focus on the only yellow leaf in the entire of the lake. Luisa was on her mind.

Maybe a question could help ease Mei worries. That and it was time for her to answer the ONE question that Hanuel always wondered about "DigiHarmony".

"I've been wondering this for a while now. Can you tell me why Luisa made "DigiHarmony"? She is a digimon now but why does she care so much about others?" Hanuel asked the question carefully. Hoping it would not anger or upset Mei even more than she already was.

Instead Mei smiled. "You know, I wondered when you guys would ask that. It all started when the two of us were reunited. A few weeks after I found Shiramon. We found her in a lab....digimon who were interested in the black market took her. They wanted to .....experiment on her. Seeing if they could turn a human to a digimon. Before we could get to her, a Renamon tried to save her." Mei paused at the memory for a moment, how it all could have went south.

Luisamon wouldn't be here if that Renamon had not converted Luisa heart into her dying body. Truly that fox digimon was an angel in disguise. Saving a young girl that they knew nothing about. Giving them a new life in their body.

"After Renamon and Luisa fused. Luisa made it her life's mission to help digimon. Wanting to pay back that kindness, offering digimon safety and a happy life. That's why she wanted to make a place were digimon feel safe. To feel that they did not have to go down a dark path in this strange world. To live without fear of humans hurting them. To not be influenced by by the negativity of greed by humans. She wished to make a "safe haven". Thus against my beliefs at the times, I found a place for her deep in this forest, that's where we found Neemon"

"Yeah Bokomon was NOT happy that you didn't tell him right away" Hanuel could recall how Bokomon face was filled with shock and betrayal. Upon learning that his love was close by and Mei never told them.

"Both swore me to secrecy. Neemon had a few digimon that he managed to convince to stay in the forest. Luisa and Neemon worked together to start up "DigiHarmony". The rest you seen first hand" Mei smiled at how Luisa dream came true.

"Wow....She really is amazing. Helping Digimon find a place, so they don't have to fall down the wrong path" Now Hanuel knew the reall reason behind "DigiHarmony".

A place to help digimon to find a home to belong and a purpose. To never fall down the wrong path as the digimon who harm Luisa.

Soon the digimon arrive back to where their partners are. Solisamon and Pumpon enjoying their goodie bags of tasty sweets that the digimon provided them. Shiramon and Bokomon having to get the splinters off their bodies. NOT wanting to comment on how they got them.

"Still no signs of Luisa or Neemon here" Solisamon answered before lightly smacking Pumpmon hand away from her candy.

HER CARMEL APPLES! PUMPMON CHOSE CANDY FOR A REASON! NO ONE TOUCHES HER CANDIES!

"No scent either. Maybe Solisamon got the cry wrong?" Shiramon shrugged. Not sensing any danger from this place.

"Solisamon never get cries wrong!" Solisamon knew how to do her job, thank you very much! Never had she got the source of a cry wrong.

"I am with Solisamon on this. Neemon would have greeted us by now. Something is clearly wrong here" Bokomon could feel as if he was getting close. Yet he also felt that he was getting very far away.

If only they had a clue! Please if there are beings with great power, please give them a blessing of a clue!

"Have you heard about the "Bandit Bros"? They were talking to the assistant and founder a few days ago" A Minomon was talking to a Poromon above them.

"Yeah, no one has seen them ever since those brothers came. They have a base in the mountains. I really hope they aren't in danger" The Poromon looked worried about their dear founders.

That reached Mei ears. She and Bokomon shared a look before rushing to the mountains in question.

"BOTH OF YOU WAIT!!"Hanuel yelled after them, which proved useless in this case.

Ugh these two are being such children right now! At this point, he rather be with trouble magnet Hiro!

At the mountain base which the two worrywarts blazed through trees to get to, the team located the base. There they could hear voices from inside.

"Give us full rein over this village. Otherwise we won't mind bruising ya two a bit more" A Shamanamon threatened as he lifted Neemon swollen and battered face to meet his eye level.

"N-Never....I rather die than allow these people to be under your thumbs" Neemon voice was raspy and weak.

From what it looked like, Goblimon, Snow Goblimon and Shamanamon were torturing  both Luisa and Neemon till they got what they wanted. Unfortunately for them, these two would never give in without a fight.

Hanuel observed the scene and analyzed the best way to handle this. He and Pumpmon could lure them outside. Then Shiramon could use her "Sync Clones" to outnumber them, while Bokomon and Mei rescues their two friends.

"Ummm Hans..." Solisamon tugged Hanuel shirt shelve. She looked scared as if she watched the horror movies that Hiro forbid her too.

"Hm? What is it?" Hanuel asked. Curious about why the young digimon was so scared all of the sudden.

"Mei and Bokomon are already beating them up" Shiramon spoke bluntly as she crossed her arms.

DARN IT! NEVER EVEN GOT A CHANCE TO FIGHT!

"Are you- UGHHHHH!" Hanuel facepalmed as he watched his friend and digimon beat the pulp out of the three kidnappers.

Pumpmon covered Solisamon to shield her from such bloodshed and brutality. The ultimate digimon did not have the stomach to witness such horror. Shiramon spared him this by covering his eyes with her tail. She could handle this with all had seen in the course of her life.

Bokomon used his hardest cover book as a weapon to knock out those "Bandit Bros". Not caring that the pages would be ruined for the very first time. He would make them PAY for hurting his BELOVED Nee! This was possible the one time that Bokomon fully gave into the violence. Managing to knock out Snow Goblimon hard into the nearest wall.

As for the other two brothers, well they got to feel what a full taste of Mei's "Digisoul".  Causing them to turn tail. Carrying their unconscious brother. Claiming that they will "NEVER COME TO THIS CRAZY VILLAGE EVER AGAIN!"

Well it might not have been a stealthy rescue, but it still worked nevertheless.

Still to think that two knowledgeable people could just rush in without thinking. Though if there are multiverses than any behaviour is possible.

"Thank you for saving us!" Luisa smiled as she helped support Neemon.

"B-bokomon....Is that really you?" Neemon could not believe his eyes. Could he be dreaming?

"Neemon...." Bokomon took Neemon face and gently nuzzled his head against his own. "Thank goodness....you're safe"

Luisa and Neemon soon returned to the village. Everyone who was worried, rushed in to check if they were alright. Tears of relief as well as happiness were in every pairs of eyes. Hugs and blessings from every villager had been recieved.

The time to go home came just as quickly as the portal had manifested. Soon it was time to go back to their world. All had been learn in this place. New insights into the relationships back in their world. A bit of past of how "DigiHarmony" came to be.

That and they got to see Bokomon and Mei brutally beat up the three digimon who had the nerve to hurt friends of theirs.

Mei knew that Clockmon would find a fitting punishment for them back home.

At the dorm, Hiro returned to see Solisamon in a candy coma like state. Wrappers and have eaten candies were scattered all over his once clean carpet.

"SOLISAMON!"

Gulus smirked and chuckled a bit. "That's my sis!"

That would be the last time that Hanuel and Mei would watch the youngest digimon for a while.

As for the two in question? They decided to check up on the "DigiHarmony" in their world. To check on the villagers and to help out where they can.

That's what the Interchange Digital World had taught them.
