As they arrived to the arena and Renamon was already there wanting to fight Fanbeemon. "Alrighty." Said Kouta waiving at him. "Good luck!" A smile formed on her face as she turned to Renamon. Renamon shooked her head crossing her fngers and waited..... she waited for Fanbeemon to attack her first.

"Renamon you can do it! I know you are strong!" Yelled Renamon's tamer, Tiffany.

Raito nodded to Hokuto, "That would probably be for the best. If Elayne's right, these street rats may be a bigger concern than we first thought. I wish all four of you luck."

He then nodded to DemiDevimon, "Ready?"

"Been wait in' to start some mischief!" The fiend nodded. With that, Raito and DemiDevimon made their way out of the Firewall Tower, their course set for the Virus Hackers' base.

"Show them no quarter, FanBeemon," Kouta commanded, sternly.

"Quarter?" The bee asked, "Why would I give them a quarter?"

"Ugh, that means don't hold back, you idiot!" Kouta groaned. He loved his partner but his partner wasn't the brightest bug in the nest.

"Oh, right!" FanBeemon flew up before shooting his stinger towards Renamon, "Gear Stinger!"

Tiffany laughed silently of what Kouta and his digimon were talking. She looked at Renamon. "Lets do this!" She said and Renamon nodded turning to Fanbeemon. She noticed the digimon going to attack her.

"Gear Stinger!" Yelled fanbeemon. Renamon smirked as she jumped in the air avoiding the attack. "Diamond Storm!" She yelled as then diamonds began to run down flying towards Fanbeemon.

"Thank you, sir," responded the red-haired young woman. Elayne felt the typical tingle of excitement she did when he had approved of one of her plans, especially a time like this. She wanted to do something, and she wanted to do something now. Her blood was boiling from the string of inaction they had thus far, waiting for the plan to be completed. Her purple eyes watched Raito set off on his own course, then turned her sights briefly to Hokuto before she set out.

"Think of the infiltration as training of its own. Use it to get stronger. We certainly can't afford to get weaker. Don't screw up," Her eyes briefly looked in the direction of Labramon, as though she were addressing her as well. The Digimon seemed to take the hint.

"I won't screw up either, Elayne. You can trust me,"

"I won't believe that until I see it with my own eyes! Until I see our success," She proclaimed furiously, as she made her way out of the room in a brooding fashion. Labramon shook her head and followed solemnly.

The duo silently made their way through the complex system of elevators from within the giant tower down through the exit, where they made their way onto the street. She knew she wouldn't have to go too far until she found at least one of those guild rats.

As per usual, Ren and Psychemon were holed up in the library, their faces plastered to a vast computer screen of complex information with high interest. All manner of words and numerical digits were being scrolled through faster than could be humanly possible to read, as both Digimon and human eyes danced along with the movement of the information.

"Hmm. Intriguing," Psychemon's formal voice rippled the silence they had been sitting in for several hours.

"Yes, I see it. 'Firewall Organization,'" Ren answered back, her brain racing in high interest at the thought of finally finding out the name of that secretive and ominous organization she knew loomed above Odaiba in their vast tower. For many weeks now, they had eluded her and Psychemon's attempts for more information, something she found to be suspicious, troublesome, and frustrating.

"That must be what they're called,"

"I cannot think of any other way to refer to them. But we are still no closer to finding out what it is they do," The young woman shook her head as a shout from the outside interrupted her thoughts.

"Why do they insist on doing this?" asked Psychemon in exasperation as Ren peered towards the door over her spectacles.

"Training. Honestly, you and I should probably do a bit of our own. I just realized my legs have gotten numb again,"

"The limitations of physical bodies are so troublesome," responded Psychemon as he and Ren got up from their research and made their way out the door where they saw Renamon and Fanbeemon, as well as Tiffany and Kouta, engaged in a practice match. The librarian smiled pleasantly.

"Well, well! Up to a little practice, are we?"

Raito and DemiDevimon stood outside of the Virus Hackers' base. Raito knew they were definitely the most lawless out of the three guilds, so to get their programs, they'd have to be more than a little subtle. But they both knew if worse came to worse, they would have to go on the offensive.

"We haven't Digivolved in a while," Raito reminded the devil on his shoulder, "Are you rusty at all?"

"Oh Ye of little faith!" DemiDevimon cackled, "I've been digivolvin' before you even existed!"

Raito gave a low chuckle. He'd trust in his partner for now. He knocked not he door of the base and stepped back, unsure if anyone was even there right now with all of the missions and training he knew the so-called street rats did. His mind wandered to Elayne and Hokuto. While he'd never admit it straight out, he hoped they would do okay.

FanBeemon shrieked and tried to dodge the Diamond Storm, getting hit by about half of the shards. He grumbled lowly before flying towards Renamon, stinger pointed out wards, trying to sting the Digimon directly.

"Come on, FanBeemon, keep it up!" Kouta bellowed. He had enough confidence in him to let him fight without commands, but if worse came to worse, he'd take the wheel.

Kouta turned to Ren, the leader of their guild, gave her a half-smile and nodded, "Yes, ma'am. Of course, it's obvious who'll win this practice match." To say that Kouta had a little too much pride in himself and FanBeemon was an understatement,

Hokuto gave a deep sigh at Elayne's words. Raito trusted her to do this job with extreme prejudice. Nothing could certainly go wrong. Nothing could DEFINITELY go wrong. If she messed up, she knew she mostly had to pay with her life given how they were at the peak of taking over most Odaiba. After her superiors left, Hokuto looked at Candlemon and winked. "Hey, let's do this right. Let's show Raito that we are a worthy pair in the Firewall Organization, let's show him how useful we can be." Candlemon gave her a comforting smile and nodded. "Exactly Hokuto! Don't feel bad, you know that we are a true part of this organization, regardless how underrated we are! C'mon, let's do this!"

After a while, Hokuto and Candlemon arrived to the Data Collectors headquarters, a tall building stood up in front of them. "Alright, this is the plan for now, I'll help you evolve into Wizardmon and you'll use your magic to find out what's inside, ok?" Once both agreed with the plan, the shy girl took out her black digivice and with its help she managed to evolve Candlemon into Wizardmon. With his magic abilities, he created a little ghostly spawn that quickly made its way inside the building. After some time it disappeared and came back to them, showing them how the building was designed and who were inside it. "Well, so now we knock on the door on and wait for someone to open it. We try to make him fall asleep and we have our free way in!" Hokuto went to the main door with Wizardmon and knocked on it.

After a good nights rest, and a satisfying breakfast, Lunaris and his Digimon, Veemon, set out again for the headquarters of the Vaccine Crusaders. The same typical routine every day, the same route to the same location. Again that ominous tower that always seemed to be looking down upon the city appeared in his sight. It was something he and Veemon saw every day, and every day his curiosity about the mysterious building continued to grow.

"You thinkin' about that tower again, 'Naris?"

"Yeah, I am. I just can't help but wonder what goes on in that place. It was never there when I was a kid, but one day it just kinda popped up without warning. I've tried to find out what it's there for, but it seems no one knows at all."

"Don't let it worry ya. It's probably just that company that makes those delicious donuts, and that's where they make them with the secret recipe hidden deep within a vault," he said excitedly, as he licked his lips.

Lunaris chuckled at the Digimon's silly creativity that always seemed to revolve around food. "I doubt it's food in there, but you're probably right. It's nothing I should be concerned with."

They continued on as they walked past just a few streets away from the tower. Veemon looked up to the top of the tower. With his head tilted back so far he wasn't watching where he was going, and the unobservant Digimon walked right into a Labramon who happened to be walking on the same road with it's trainer. "Ouch! Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Are you okay?"

Just as Danny was about to leave, he heard someone knock on the door of the HQ. The fact that they knocked meant that whoever was outside wasn't a member, but probably someone who had a job for the Guild.

After he opened the door he noticed that the person who knocked was a young man with black hair accompanied by a DemiDevimon. While the fact he had such a wel known evil Digimon for a partner worried Danny, he tried not to show it. After all the Hackers weren't exactly the nicest Guild either. Meanwhile Falcomon tried to sneakily prepare his throwing stars in case a fight broke out.

"Can I help you, sir?" Danny asked while purposely blocking the door so that the man wouldn't be able to enter without pushing him aside.

Tiffany would notice their guild leader. "Hey!" She laughed softly waiving at her. And Renamon was to busy. She noticed the digimon
flying towards her and she was hit by the attack. Renamon fell on the ground but quicklygot up. "Hmph!" She smirked laughing as she would use her superspeed and dissapear behind the digimon. "DIAMOND STORM!" She yelleed as diamonds began to fly towards the bee-digimon attacking it. Hopefully to make him fall down.

Tifanny looked at Kouta. "Hey!" She smiled at him waiving. She had a crush on him so why not?! Tiffany stuck her tongue out at Kouta being all playful.

Raito looked Danny up and down once. He was probably ten or so years younger than Raito, so he didn't believe Danny to be the leader of the guild with how long the Virus Hackers existed. He didn't notice Falcomon readying his throwing stars and cleared his throat.

"You can," he spoke with the air of a business man, "My name is Raito Enoshima. My younger brother, Kenji, has shown interest in joining this so-called guild. I wish to scope it out to see if it is fit for him, or if another guild is instead."

DemiDevimon had taught Raito everything he knew about lying. Whether Danny would believe them or not was in the air, that the bat knew.

~

"'Hey?'" Kouta repeated, bewildered. Tiffany was definitely an odd member of the guild to him, but when he saw FanBeemon fall prey to Renamon's Diamond Storm, this changed to Kouta thinking she did it to throw them off.

FanBeemon's eyes widened as it was hit by the full assault of the Diamond Storm, landing on the ground. "...If I just lay here will she count that as yelling uncle?"

Kouta groaned, "You coward!"

Labramon nearly lost her balance from the sudden bump, but managed to remain standing by holding onto Elayne's arm. "Ye-yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it, it was an acc-"

The sound of Elayne's irritated snarls masked the rest of Labramon's words as she glared daggers at the Veemon. "Better not try that again,"

Her Digimon sighed, knowing what was coming. Even the slightest bit of physical contact would often rub Elayne the wrong way. She knew her partner did not believe that accidents existed, only that everything was some act committed specifically against her.

"Listen Elayne, he didn't mean it. Let's just keep going now... remember your objective? The Vacci-"

"Don't compromise that in front of these strangers, Labramon!" snapped Elayne. The young woman raised an arm as though she were going to hit her Digimon, but instead merely punched at the ground. Labramon flinched and recoiled.

"Next time, you'd better pay attention, understand? And you, keep your Digimon on a firmer leash!"

The librarian chuckled softly at Kouta's confidence. "Well now! It is nice to see that you're definitely not lacking in confidence, but I would advise you not underestimate your opponent! Renamon is quite a vicious fighter from what I've previously seen."

Ren watched Tiffany's strange actions and returned her greeting with a subtle smile. Tiffany was always such a playful member of the group, especially towards Kouta, and she found her attitude to be refreshing after a long day's hard work. As the battle continued, a disinterested Psychemon was gazing off in another direction... when he noticed a flash of light and a beeping sound originating from his tamer's pocket.

"It would appear that someone is at the library," stated the Digimon.

"Oh! Please excuse me, Kouta, Tiffany. I must check on this," The woman stepped away from the scene as she pulled a device from her pocket and touched its screen several times until a video feed of a young lady with a dark hat and a Wizardmon standing in front of the building appeared before her.

"Did you leave the library locked again, Ren?"

"Yes... blast it. This silly habit of mine, locking the library in broad daylight when others are still inside and there are others seeking knowledge!"

With that statement, Ren and Psychemon scrambled furiously back to the Data Collectors' base of the Odaiba Library. The library was typically open to everyone, but there were certain key rooms within the structure that were closed off and dedicated to research that was strictly off-limits. In her typical forgetfulness, Ren would often leave the library locked to the chagrin of many citizens due to the fact that she would mistakenly believe the ENTIRE library was off-limits.

She arrived before Hokuto in an exhausted huff, and put her hand up to indicate that she was still catching her breath. After she caught her brief, she addressed the teenager.

"My apologies, young lady. I am Ren, current overseer of the Odaiba Library, and I've left this building locked more times than I would care to admit. Anyway, here you are," Ren pulled out a key from her other pocket and unlocked the doors, pushing them open.

"I truly am sorry if you've had to wait too long, so I would like to make it up to you. Are there any books in particular that you are looking for?"

Since he had no reason not too, Danny believed Raito"s story. Falcomon on the other hand wasn't so trusting but he put his throwing stars away anyway, after signaling his partner to keep an eye on the stranger just in case. " Oh I see please come in, Mr Enoshima. My name is Danny Parks." After introducing himself Danny moved out of the doorway so that Raito could enter the building. "Since I'm free at the moment, I could give you and your partner a tour of the area's open to visitors if you'd like."

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SnowGoburimon had been hiding in the shed for a while now and it didn't seem like the Guilmon followed him, so he decided to risk it. As soon as he left the shed he forced himself to calmly walk away in the opposite direction of where he destroyed that Bombmon while looking around for other In-Training Digimon to attack. After all if he wanted to take down that laboratory for all those painful tests they performed on him, he needed to Digivolve as soon as possible.

DemiDevimon gave Raito a concerned look. This could possibly ruin everything. Raito, however, didn't seem phased in the least. He gave a nod to Danny.

"That would be nice," he replied, "Lead the way if you would." He then turned and gave DemiDevimon a nod in return. This would work differently, that he knew. But he had a plan, even if it would be hard to pull off.

Tiffany giggled as she jumped up and down with joy clapping. "Yay, Yay, Yay , Yay! Good Job Renamon!" she told her Digimon as Renamon would land infront of Tiffany, smirking and looking at Fanbeemon. "Get up!" she said growling at him. Tifanny would look at Fanbeemon. "Awwwwww!~ Are you okay?" she told the digimon a little worried. Tiffany looked at the guild's leader waiving. "Alright!" she turned back to Kouta smiling at him and waiving. "Wanna end the fight?" she asked wondering but Renamon shooked her head. "No, Fanbeemon, needs to digimon up! He needs to be tougher. Come on, show me what you got!" Renamon said now using her superspeed running towards Fanbeemon and a kick was now flying towards him. "Haaah!"

As he watched this agitated woman as she threw her fists around in anger, then turned to threaten him and Veemon. All this because of a simple bump, that her Labramon didn't even seem to care about. Lunaris immediately got on the defensive.

"Hey, you don't need to get so upset about something so pointless. And don't even think about threatening me or Veemon."

Veemon noticed how angry she looked, and thought it might be best just to back off. He began pulling on Lunaris' jacket, trying to get him to move on.

"Don't worry about it, 'Naris. Let's just leave before there's any more trouble".

He wasn't about to leave just yet, and let her think she could get away with being such a horrible person. Even to just a pair of strangers who simple made an accidental bump.

"We're not leaving just yet. Not until we get an apology from this girl for being so rude to us," he said as he turned back to face the unknown woman, then folded his arms. "So, are you going to apologize? Or just storm off just to yell at something else that's even less significant than an accidental collision?"

As soon as Raito and DemiDevimon entered, Danny started giving them the tour. "Now one thing you must know is that this Guild sometimes gets involved in not completely legal activities, nothing too bad though." While it seemed strange that he would be telling something like to a complete stranger. this was pretty much a well known secret.

While he was talking Falcomon tried to get as close to DemiDevimon as he could. "Listen up bat, I don't trust you or your Tamer." The Bird Digimon whispered
