Larry the Evil Announcer Previously on Digimon: Digital Monsters...
With the evil Quartzmon defeated the legendary heroes and digimon that had been gathered from across the dimensions were blown back to their own worlds as peace was finally restored. With the source of Digi Quartz eliminated, life should have returned to normal for team Xros Heart and the other children who had participated in the Digimon Hunt. But then, just one month after the defeat of Quartzmon, Gumdramon returned to the human world and the mysterious old man who had gone around handing out Xros Loaders to prospective Digimon Hunters informed Taiki and Yuu that there were still lost digimon residing in the human realm. As such, the only clear choice was to begin the Digimon Hunt anew.
And that is where our story begins...
Rumors have begun to spread of strange phenomena occurring at a nearby university. Sometimes it looks like the writing on the whiteboards in some of the classrooms is revising itself. In certain instances the revised information is more accurate than what was originally written and is beneficial for the class while in other instances the revisions have looked convincing, but have been entirely wrong or, at least, utterly misleading. There appears to be no set pattern to these incidents, but word has it that a number of the university professors have gone missing since they began. Meanwhile, the students at the university are becoming convinced that the school must be haunted and substitutes have already become rather leery of taking over the open teaching positions after so many unexplained disappearances.
It sounds like it might be the work of a digimon, doesn't it? So let's start Digimon Hunting!
Crystal: Well, at least this looks like a better story introduction than that last one we had for the Valentine's Day event. That one had the look of an evil conspiracy even before it got off the ground.
Zapmon: But you're forgetting one thing.
Crystal: Really? What's that?
Zapmon: Didn't we leave Jared to completely lambaste Larry with Ultima spells during the epilogue of that last thread?
Crystal: *pause* *stare* *double-takes at Larry* Is there a re-spawn point around here or what? |

* stare, twitch twitch, Anger vein* Larry is about as bad if not worse than Ganondorf and Ridley, and those two are just as bad about reappearing to cause me heavy annoyance.
so what will you do this time?
i say we flambe him.
feed him to a grue!
that'd probably give the grue indigestion Aniki...
actually.. i have the perfect thing. *reaches into background, and pulls into foreground a -HUGE- twin set of coffins, grinning evilly while strapping it on his back*
ooh... going for -that- huh? interesting choice.
definitely going to be.. bloody. *licks lips, grinning*
thank you. *connects coffins into nerves, and snaps eyes open, said coffins opening up to form huge wings, inside each part of the wing held blades, tantos in fact, black in color, with red runes covering them* time to die! *dashes inwards on boosters attached to sandals, and starts slashing and skewering Larry* and these swords all cannot kill.. they force their victim to live through being in them until the final blow.. *grins devilishly, while continuing to impale Larry with tanto's by the duos number, before pulling two last ones, and then tosses one to his mouth from Shiro tracing it* Santoryu... HYAKUHACHI POUNDOU HOU~! *unleashes huge bullet of air and energy in a spiral to decimate Larry.. who would then fall to pieces from the blades sliding -through him slicing him like butter*
*grins evilly*

Bakumon: *quietly goes about handing out some towels to everyone so they can get cleaned up from that bloody mess*
Razuko: *graciously accepts a towel for himself* Thank you, Bakumon.
Crystal: *begins wiping herself off with her own towel* Without further ado, let's get on with the show!
*~Beyond the 4th Wall~*
Catch Mamemon was attracted to the arcade by the desire of children to win prizes. As such, the mutant digimon had set about playing the UFO Catcher or Crane Game machines to win all the prizes and began to hand them out to the children. However, once the children started receiving prizes from Catch Mamemon, they got greedy and decided that they wanted all the prizes. Catch Mamemon certainly possessed the skill necessary to extract all the prizes from the machines inside of the arcade, the fact that the seemingly innocent desire of the children for prizes they couldn't normally obtain on their own had turned to insatiable greed, it was beginning to have a corrupting influence on the mutant digimon. Over time he had grown larger by channeling their greed and had ceased playing the machines to legitimately win each of the prizes and had instead begun tossing the machines across the arcade to break them open to dislodge the prizes more efficiently. Naturally, this couldn't be allowed to continue as it was already becoming a nightmare for arcade staff.
Or, at least, that's what Tagiru had been told by Crystal when she had arrived at his classroom with Taiki when they got let out. Actually, it wasn't the first time she had tipped him off about the location of a digimon that needed to be hunted. Even since she had returned from her old dimension after the defeat of Quartzmon she and Blaze had insisted that he required "special training" and would tip him off about where certain digimon were hiding out or making trouble only to get in his way at the last minute. It was a little annoying, but Tagiru couldn't let it get him down.
"Come on Gumdramon, we've got a digimon to hunt!" Tagiru quickly reloaded Gumdramon from his Xros Loader as he arrived outside of the arcade.
"Okay Tagiru!" Gumdramon exclaimed with his usual enthusiasm as he ran ahead of his partner.
At first it seemed quiet. Too quiet. That was when the first arcade machine came hurtling out the door toward them and Gumdramon was forced to bash it away with his tail hammer.
"Looks like we've got a feisty one on our hands," Tagiru grinned. "Good, we could use the excitement!"
*~*~*~*~*
Crystal and Taiki, meanwhile, had already taken off on Gryphomon making a beeline for the Higurashi Shrine. Crystal had already made a point of making sure that her friends in the Feudal era on the other side of the well would be in the neighborhood if she came back for a visit and she had been wanting to make sure to introduce Taiki to Inuyasha so they wouldn't have to meet without her there to mediate for them, not that she expected too much trouble because even Inuyasha would be hard pressed to find much fault with Taiki aside from the fact that Crystal obviously liked him.
Of course, what they really didn't want was for Tagiru to invite himself along with them because it would be much harder to guarantee his safety given his tendency toward royally ticking people off with his stupidity. Sure, Inuyasha would probably only whack him upside the head like he did with the other young annoyances he had to put up with, but that would put Inuyasha in a sour mood and that wouldn't be conducive to getting him to warm up to Taiki. And then there was Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru definitely didn't need to be meeting Tagiru.
And so, the appearance of Catch Mamemon at the arcade had been a real stroke of luck. Because of the "special training" Crystal and Blaze had been giving Tagiru he didn't suspect that Crystal was just using the act of tipping him off about the mutant digimon as a diversion so she and Taiki could make it out of town in a hurry without him noticing. Presumably, they would be long gone by the time Tagiru completed the hunt and then he would have no way of following them.
"Are you sure this was a good idea?" Taiki had to ask.
"There's a school vacation starting tomorrow so this is the only time we'll be able to make the trip without missing class," Crystal responded. "As long as we can ditch Tagiru now, all he'll be able to find out is that we've gone on a camping trip. The others aren't about to tell him where we're really going so he'll be stuck on a wild goose chase."

Blaze was whistling to himself, happy to have the whole break to cut his teeth on the new—
"Ran-gum Break!" *CRASH*
"Nonono no no no NO!" Blaze ran into the arcarde, or what was left of it. He ducked as another arcade game went flying. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"
"Don't worry Blaze, we've worn him down. And he's almost out of ammo too!" chirped Tagiru. "This capture will be done soon!"
*WHACK* "OW!" cried Tagiru, "What'd you do that for?"
"There's another arcade two doors down. He's already re-arming there. And. He. Broke. My. New. Game. Mamemonz, reload."
"Ah, Blaze, like I said..."
"Drag him into the street!" shouted Blaze.
"Mame Bite 1000 !" "Bomb Sting!" "Strike Upper!" "Energy Laser Bomb!" "Magnet Beam!"
The CatchMamemon was huge, and even though it was dumped out unceremoniously into the street, it was only a little scratched.
"I can't loose, I have to win! I ALWAYS WIN!" and then it threw a car at Blaze. The wall blocked its path, but there wasn't much wall left after. The next one would hit for sure.
"You did not just throw a car at me. Mamemonz, DIGIXROS!"
The Mamemonz biological data all dissolved and all of the machine data combined on the spot. It had a round body, a regular Psycho Blaster on the left shoulder, and a Psycho Blaster X on the right shoulder.
"MameMugendramon!"
Wasting no time, it opened fire.
"Chibi ∞ Cannon!"
The already damaged digimon broke down and, "Capture Complete!"

Shiro had also been nearby the arcades, given he was actually in the one that was attacked, but before he could do anything Tagiru butted in to try and catch the Mamemon, before he sighed, and hung back, also seeing blaze in on the action he merely chuckled a bit and flicked his tails underneath his cloak, thankful he had his back to the wall and was wearing his old purple and white flamed cloak from a long time ago, though enhanced via Tracing and some runic studies, he did keep himself inconspicuous enough though ~well.. unfortunately with Blaze having involved himself in that fight Tagiru might be going to follow crystal and Taiki like a lost puppy.. meaning i might have to tail him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid... wait, this is Tagiru we're talking about.~ he shook his head, and idly continued to watch with thinly veiled amusement at things, pulling out a hot dog and idly eating it, yum.. cheese and onions with a hot dog.
MEANWHILE...
A darkened shadow had been watching over the nearby college universities with intrerest as he smirked lightly "hmm.. another Digimon at work it seems... guess it's time to go find out if i need to stretch my legs, so to speak." he then headed off, with another, smaller Dino like shadow following him underneath the cloak, yet still see-able by most if they looked hard enough, but most didn't so they went on unnoticed.

"That wasn't even fair!" Tagiru protested as he watched the form of Catch Mamemon get absorbed into Blaze's Xros Loader.
"And we almost had him too!" Gumdramon added indignantly.
Tagiru sighed in annoyance and glared meaningfully at Blaze. "This was just another of those stupid training sessions you and Crystal cooked up for me, wasn't it?"
"Actually Tagiru," Gumdramon tugged at his sleeve. "Blaze seemed almost as surprised as we were about Catch Mamemon. Maybe they didn't have anything to do with this."
"In any case we should probably go let Taiki-san and Crystal-san know that the capture has been taken care of," Tagiru suggested. He paused realizing he hadn't asked them where they were going when he'd dashed out of the classroom. "But I guess we're going to have to find them first. Let's start at Taiki-san's house!"
And, without waiting for any response from Blaze on the subject, Tagiru and Gumdramon took off running down the sidewalk.
*~*~*~*~*
While Tagiru had been tipped off by Taiki and Crystal about the Catch Mamemon at the arcade, Yuu had learned of the strange happenings at the university through his own research and had gone over to investigate with Damemon. So far they hadn't discovered anything out of the ordinary, but the university was much bigger than the junior high school so there was a lot of ground to cover. Naturally, he had made a point of keeping Tagiru in the dark about it because he didn't want to have to run damage control when, not if, when Tagiru and Gumdramon started tearing up the school campus with their careless hunting tactics. Those two were absolutely terrible about minimizing property damage.

When Tagiru finally reached Taiki's house to search for him, he was greeted by Taiki's mother. All he learned from that conversation was that she was surprised Taiki hadn't told him about the camping trip he had planned at the Feudal Era Renaissance Fair that was apparently going to be in town during the school vacation. Tagiru thought that sounded fishy. He hadn't heard about any Feudal Era Renaissance Fair. For that matter, this was the first he had heard about Taiki planning a camping trip. And why would Taiki do a thing like that without him?
"Thanks anyway," Tagiru raced away from Taiki's house as a new thought had begun to surface. There wasn't a Feudal Era Renaissance Fair. But there was still the fact that Crystal had told him, several times, that she was actually from the Feudal Era. And, in that case, Taiki had probably told his mom that he was going to be camping in the Feudal Era, but she had probably misunderstood him.
"But how the heck am I supposed to follow them?" Tagiru wondered aloud.
"I should be able to sniff them out," Gumdramon suggested.
"Good idea," Tagiru grinned. "We'll just have to figure out any weird time travel stuff later."
"Uh, Tagiru..." Gumdramon started after sniffing around a bit. "You'd better make me Chou Shinka. Wherever they went, they were flying."
*~*~*~*~*
Crystal and Taiki, meanwhile, had finally arrived at the Higurashi Shrine and had descended into the storehouse for the old well. Naturally, Taiki had no idea how this was supposed to work.
"So what now?" he asked hoping that maybe Crystal would be able to give him a simple and coherent answer.
"Now we jump," was all Crystal said before she climbed onto the edge of the well and hopped down, disappearing completely.
I wonder how anyone realized this was even possible, Taiki thought to himself before hesitantly jumping down after her.
When Taiki looked up to see Crystal peering down at him, the blue sky was clearly visible behind her.
"I'd like to say the hard part is over, but we've still got some challenges to deal with," Crystal noted as she extended a hand to help Taiki climb out of the well to get his first look at the surrounding forest. That definitely hadn't been there when they'd first arrived at the shrine.
*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, back at the university, a jar of pure potassium had been stolen from one of the chemistry labs by Nise Agumon Hakase who made quick use of it by smashing the jar on the side of the indoor campus swimming pool so that the violent chemical reaction would do the rest of the work for him. It was a fairly large chunk of potassium that hit the water and it reacted with a loud bang as it burst into flames and began zooming across the surface of the water.
Within minutes a lifeguard on duty had rung the fire alarm as the swim team was evacuated from the building. No one had noticed the reptile digimon in his mock graduate robes initiating the small fire and Nise Agumon Hakase quickly departed from the scene of his crime while the humans were all in a panic. The authorities would be arriving shortly. The students and faculty would have to be evacuated so a formal investigation could be made. And then Nise Agumon Hakase would have the school facilities to himself!
The alarms were blaring all over campus and Yuu immediately understood that it meant something had happened somewhere on campus, but simply listening to the alarms wouldn't tell him anything about what or where. And he hadn't gathered any clear proof that the incidents he had gone there to investigate were related to a digimon. So, when the campus police started ushering students and other civilian pedestrians away from the university campus, Yuu had no choice but to reluctantly obey them and call off the rest of his investigation for the day.
I hope this isn't anything too serious, Yuu thought as he left the university behind him.

"Whoops," Blaze sighed, "I think I just seriously messed up this 'camping' trip Crystal said she was going on. Oh well, my day's ruined too. Might as well grab a book and head over to a cafe for some calming tea."
With that, Blaze reached into a pocket and pulled out a thick paper back. "Huh, guess I still haven't finished this one yet. Guess that means all I need is the tea!"
"I would like some tea too, it's been far too long," Reppamon called from the Xros Loader, "and maybe a nice cake too."
"Only one place to go then, to the Digital Shopping Arcade!"
******************************
"Oh wow, it's more packed than ever. It could be easy to be lost in here. No matter, I just need to follow my nose to where there's tea-a-brewin'. Okay guys, shore leave. Everybody out." If it wasn't for Blimpmon, the small 'streets' would have become crowded instantly. There was just enough space between the roofs of the shops and the roof of the warehouse to fit Blimpmon too.
Most of the digimon from Blaze's team simply set up their own 'shops' on the deck of Blimpmon, then dangled rope ladders with signs advertising random products. CatchMamemon set up a crane game, apparently not wanting to miss out on the 'festivities'.
Blaze took off, letting Reppamon scout out the tea, while Pandamon followed.
"I should have guessed. Digitamamon's Cafe."
Blaze and crew took some unoccupied seats.
"Hey Razuko! I'll have a cup Chai Tea." said Blaze.
"I would like a pot of Jasmine Tea." cooed Reppamon.
"Give me coffee. Black." stated Pandamon.
"Ooh, and a strawberry cake!" Reppamon added with a giggle.

the shadowed figure frowned as he heard the fire alarm, and just looked off to the side as a growl emanated under his cloak 'that's enough! i don't want you seen yet Lucia!' of course, the growl quieted down as the shadowed figure left, and proceeded to look back as he exited the campus building "looks like we got ourselves a troublesome little b*****d..." he muttered, frowning, before heading off, probably seen by Yuu at this point not caring given he was driven away from the stake-out.
MEANWHILE...
Shiro had frowned when he heard Tagiru actually get the hint that there was no Feudal Era fair and all, though he was chuckling loudly in his head when he had heard about that, but he kepdt back regardless as he idly ducked into a nearby alleyway, and got ready to follow via Mail Birdramon, though once again he kept distance for now as he narrowed his eyes ~next time i'm using Viritramon in Spirit Evolution.~ he thought as he sighed ~Mendokuse-na..~

Yuu thought he had just heard a growl emanating from somewhere nearby. Maybe there really was a digimon to be found at the university. But he still didn't see anything particularly suspicious except perhaps the strange guy walking around in that long cloak in this weather. Wait, was that the pointy nub of a small tail sticking out the back there? Now that definitely had the look of a digimon. But why was the guy wearing the cloak trying to hide it? Did he not have a Xros Loader to keep it in? Or maybe he was a student trying to hide the culprit behind the fire!
"Hold it!" Yuu called out to the cloaked figure with a note of menace in his voice as he raised his Xros Loader in front of him. "I'm afraid I can't allow you to leave here with a rogue digimon."
*~*~*~*~*
"I assure you I'm not 'up to' anything," Ryouma answered Blaze with his usual polite smile. "And really, the only specifics I can tell you are that there are some interesting rumors circulating about strange phenomena that have begun happening at the university. I don't know about you, but to me it sounds like there could be a digimon involved. I haven't been by the university yet myself so I can't verify these rumors, but I think it would be a mistake not to check it out anyway just to play it safe."
"We would go ourselves," Psychemon chimed in. "But right now we're not really interesting in hunting more digimon for ourselves."
*~*~*~*~*
Crystal and Taiki hadn't been walking five minutes when a small, fox-tailed blur darted up to them and pounced on Crystal with enough force to knock Crystal on her back.
"Hi Crystal!" Shippo greeted her enthusiastically as his tail wagged back and forth like an eager little puppy. "Did you bring me back anything good from the modern era?"
Well, this little fox kid definitely isn't Inuyasha, was all Taiki could think as he watched the exchange.
"Shippo-chan, you really shouldn't expect for Crystal to bring you back presents whenever she decides to stop by for a visit," Kagome gently scolded the young Kitsune.
"Aw, but Kagome, Crystal always brings me back something," Shippo persisted.
"Not to worry," Crystal gently lifted Shippo off of her and set him down on the ground so she could pop back on her feet. "I've got plenty of stuff here to give to everyone. But let's at least wait until we make it to the village before I start handing things out, okay?"
"Okay Crystal!" Shippo cheered. That was when he finally took notice of Taiki. "So then you must be Crystal's new boyfriend, huh?"
Taiki sweatdropped at how direct the question was and struggled very hard to minimize his blushing. It took a few seconds for him to recover enough to actually give Shippo an answer though. "I guess you might say that..." He also vaguely wondered if perhaps Shippo was distantly related to Shiro given they both had similar fox-like features.

the figure groaned, and glared down to the stub of a tail, and the sound of a light 'whap!' could be heard, before the hood came off with a shift, showing it was Jake Yoshimatto, one of crystal's friends as he frowned "you're kidding me right? if i was the enemy i wouldn't have even been here." he said calmly, before smiling "i was actually staking the place out with Lucia." he said, idly opening the cloak to show the black agumon holding onto his leg as he sighed "she doesn't like being cooped up in the Xros Loader, so she was out trying to get a scent of the digimon's trail for me, unfortunately, before we could get a lead the fire happened." Lucia nodded lightly while tilting her head a bit "you must be one of Taiki's friends right? as Jake said my name's Lucia, i didn't cause the fire because i was with Jake the entire time."" she said a bit meekly, while rubbing her head a bit, a golden and green colored Xros Loader lit up as someone spoke from it "Lucia's too goody-goody to do anything like that, boyo. now.. think there's any money making schemes here in the making? ooh, i bet i could make a be--" of course Jake shut the screen off, sweatdropping "... don't mind Lemina, she's money-crazy, almost as bad as Digitamamon."he said while looking back to the university "though for something to cause that fire... it may be our little lost digimon is a lot smarter.. we might need help on this."
MEANWHILE...
of course, given that Kagome was already there, sure enough, a couple of leaps later to a nearby tree Crystal would see one of her borthers idly sittingo n the tree branch holding Tessaiga lightly over his shoulder "hmm? oh... hello sis." he said, smirking a bit lightly while jumping off the branch and landing on the ground to look to Kagome " next time wait up for me will you Kagome?" he said a bit while walking over, looking Taiki over, before raising an eyebrow "huh.. anyway, i hope you didn't bring any of those crazy martial artists with you this time, i don't think i can take dealing with that gender-bending one for another few months." he said, shuddering remembering his experiences with a certain chinese shirt wearing martial artist from Nerima, before nodding his head to taiki "so who's this anyway? don't tell me you actually brought someone for Sesshoumaru to kill from the modern times." he joked, smirking in his own fanged fashion, the ears waving a bit while looking over everything.
