The first day of the Nubar Tournament consists of the preliminary matches to narrow it down to the final 8. The group splits up and head to different areas to compete in their division. Wormmon's division gets called up, and the entrants walk out into the coliseum. The stadium is only about hall full, because people don't care much about the preliminaries. Wormmon stands on the stone ring with the other entrants. Among them are a Centarumon, Nanimon, Greymon, and Gargomon, as well as a few Rookies. Wormmon digivolves to Stingmon, and quickly gets to work. Nanimon's punches packed a lot of power, but he must no match for Gargomon's ammunition. Centarumon did some damage with his laser cannon, but in the end it was Stingmon's cannon that took him down. Greymon sends Gargomon packing with a ferocious Nova Blast. It all came down to Stingmon and Greymon. The large dinosaur Digimon fires several fireballs at Stingmon, but they dodge the attacks, flying around in the air. Things looked bad for Stingmon when he's grazed by one of Greymon's Nova Blasts, but in the end Stingmon wins by flying up close and unloading a devastating blast from his energy cannon.
After a day of qualifying matches, all three Digimon in the group have made it to the final 8. Dante, Wormmon, Judith, and Bogamon meet up to figure out who else qualified. Dante anxiously awaits to see who he's facing in the first round. "Dante? Hey!" Dante turns around. It's his friend Raziya and her Digimon partner Lalamon. "Raz! It's great to see you again." "Always. So this must be your sister you're always complaining about." Dante gets embarrassed. "Oh please. He's just a big baby. So what are you doing here?" "Lalamon heard about this tournament from a Digimon, and we decided to enter. But I didn't think you'd be here. I haven't heard from you since you left a few months ago." Dante had been training out in the desert for a long time. "Well I hope you're ready, cuz you're facing me in the first match." "Really? Wow. We've never had a battle against each other before." "Ya, and we were not impressed with you the last time we saw you battle." Raziya gives Wormmon a mean look. "A lot has changed since then. I just hope you'll be ready." Raziya and Lalamon walk off.
Dante is stunned. He didn't wanna crush his friend in the first round. When they battled Syn together, Lalamon was almost useless in battle. The group meets up with Leomon, who's being his grumpy self as usual. He's leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed. "Hey, big guy? Why so flustered?" "The fighter I told you about before has made it to the final 8. And we're battling in the first round." "Well that's a good thing, right?" Leomon closes his eyes and shakes his head. "At fist I wanted revenge, but seeing him again has brought back a part of my past I wanted to keep buried. It's got my head spinning inside." "Don't worry, Leomon. I'm sure when the time comes, you'll know what you need to do." The group gets ready for the first round. Both Dante and Leomon were stressing out over who they were facing. Who would be left standing at the end?

The first match is about to begin. The crowd roars as several musicians playing various instruments makes their way out and circles the ring. The song Ojos Asi www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BzkbSq7pww plays all across the stadium, as a beautiful woman with long red hair sings from a balcony high above. The Sultan makes his entrance, walking out in a luxury suite overlooking the stadium. He raises his hands high as the crowd cheers, then sits down on a golden throne. Down below is the broadcasting booth, where two men in fancy desert robes sit in front of microphones. "Good day, ladies and gentlemen! This here is Giles Huckleberry, broadcasting extraordinaire! It is Day 2 of the Nubar Desert Tournament, and the crowd is excited for the first match." "And it's all thanks to our wonderful leader, the Sultan of Nubar. Here comes the first combatant!"
Dante and Wormmon come walking down the ramp heading towards the large stone arena floor. Dante is wearing white battle robes with gold gear. His hood helps protect his face from the hot desert sun. Wormmon looks determined to kick some butt. "Wow, what a crowd. Are you ready, little buddy?" "Always. The Juice is Loose!" Wormmon and Dante stand on the far south side of the ring. Raziya and Lalamon walk down the ramp. Raziya is wearing white and purple desert garments, with a short white skirt. "I hope you're prepared to lose, Dante." "Doubt it..." Both sides stand across from each other. The Sultan stands up and raises his arms high. "My people, get ready for the most wonderful entertainment in all of the desert. I have provided you only the best combatants to battle it out to see who is worthy of being crowned Champion. Now, let the first battle of the Nubar Desert Tournament commence!"
Wormmon starts things off by charging forward. Lalamon jumps back and fires a Seed Blast, hitting Wormmon with a barrage of tree nuts. Wormmon circles around Lalamon, trying to avoid her projectile attacks, but Lalamon's attacks continue to land with pinpoint accuracy. Dante has to admit that Lalamon has indeed improved since their last encounter, but so has Wormmon. Lalamon continues shooting nuts, as Wormmon does his best to dodge the attacks. Wormmon jumps up and fires a Sticky Net, trapping Lalamon in Wormmon's webbing. Wormmon lands on the ring floor, then charges towards Lalamon and attacks her with his stinger, dealing light damage. Lalamon tries to break free from the web, unable. Wormmon shoots a Silk Thread, dealing massive damage because Lalamon was already stuck in the net. Raziya decides it's time to bring the battle up to the next level. She grabs her digivice, and Lalamon digivolves to Togemon, breaking free from the net. Togemon stomps on the ground, punching their fists in the air. "Whoah, that's new! I guess Stingmon's gonna have to teach you a lesson!" Dante nods, and grabs his digivice. Wormmon makes a cocoon out of silk, and digivolves to the agile Stingmon. "I guess you couldn't wait to lose, Raziya. Stingmon's so powerful even I can't stop him once he tastes the thrill of battle." "Oh, even Stingmon couldn't put up a decent fight against us. Togemon, show them your new power!" Togemon and Stingmon stare each other down.

"If you are just joining us, we are currently watching the first fight of the tournament. And now things have just heated up a notch, as both combatants digivolve to their Champion forms. Wow!" "You've got that right, Giles. Now we're really going to see what these fighters are capable of." Togemon charges forward and throws a big punch Stingmon's way. Stingmon dodges back, hovering in the air. Togemon unleashes a brutal assault, attacking Stingmon with a series of punches. Stingmon tries avoiding the attacks, but a few blows connect, dealing moderate damage. "Come on Stingmon... you can't just take that. You've gotta be on your game, every time." Stingmon dodges back, and flies into the air. "No flying away from the fight. Do it, Togemon!" Togemon raises its fists and spins around very rapidly. "Needle Spray!" Dozens of large poisonous needles shoot out in all directions. Some of them lock on Stingmon and come right towards him. Stingmon suffers significant damage, and crashes down to the floor.
Stingmon struggles to get up. "Oh, I'm not done with you yet. I have only just begun to unload my fury upon you!" "Ya? Well then let's see it!" Stingmon charges up his energy, and transfers it to his energy spike. He flies straight towards Togemon and attacks with a lethal Spiking Strike. Togemon deflects the spike with her fist, then hits Stingmon with an uppercut, sending him falling to the ground. Yet again, Stingmon rises back up. "You don't know when you're outclassed, do you?" "Grr, shut up and let me think here! Togemon's got those giant boxing gloves that keep getting in the way!" Togemon charges forward, raising her glove to prepare for a punch. Stingmon flies underneath Togemon, rising up behind the giant cactus Digimon and stabbing them right in the back. Stingmon places his feet on Togemon and pulls his spike out. Togemon turns around at swats at Stingmon with their glove. Stingmon raises his energy cannon up and launches a Moon Cannon point blank. The energy blast hits Togemon dead on, knocking them back and dealing moderate damage. Before Togemon can throw another punch, Stingmon flies up into the sky. Togemon unleashes another Needle Spray, sending poison needles flying straight towards Stingmon. The agile Digimon circles around, dodging the needles with his speed and maneuverability. Stingmon flies down towards Togemon, swooping around and flying into their leg from behind, knocking the cactus on their back. Stingmon flies above Togemon and charges his energy cannon.

The crowd is on the edge of their seats, as it appears Stingmon is about to deal the final blow to Togemon. Stingmon continues charging up energy into his cannon. Raziya watches on, concerned for Togemon's safety. Dante feels bad for his friend. he doesn't want Togemon to get hurt badly. And he knows how Stingmon gets once he starts fighting. Dante raises his hand in the air. "That's enough Stingmon! There's no need to injure Togemon." Stingmon looks bad, irritated his Tamer has just ordered him to cancel the attack. Despite wanting to blast Togemon into pieces, Stingmon cools down his energy cannon and lands down on the floor. "Zounds! Dante has just called off Stingmon!" "He must be concerned about Togemon's safety. Dante and Raziya are friends, and have never had a battle against each other before." Togemon struggles to get up. Raziya's look on concern changes to a smirk. "Hahaha! Oh Dante, you shouldn't have done that." Raziya points her digivice at Togemon. "Oh! What's this now?" Togemon starts growing into a giant flower. The bud opens up, revealing a burst of petals. Out flies the Ultimate Digimon, Lilimon. This particular Lilimon has tan skin, and her normally pink outfit and flowers are orange and purple.
The crowd roars. "Wait a minute, Giles! Togemon has just digivolved to her Ultimate form, Lilimon!" "Yes! And she's looking prettier than ever before!" Dante is frustrated he called off Stingmon earlier. "See, Dante?! This is why you should have let me blast Togemon into the stratosphere!" "Ha! I knew it would be easy to fool you. Togemon's tough, but Stingmon doesn't stand a chance against Lilimon!" Judith is watching on from the crowd. "Dang it, Dante. Why do you have to act like such a dork around pretty girls?" Lilimon casually walks up to Stingmon. "Hey, cutie. Don't hurt me too bad, okay?" Stingmon just stands there, stiff as a bored. He's never seen a Digimon so beautiful before. "Come on, Stingmon! Punch her!" Stingmon looks at Lilimon nervously. "Stingmon!" Lilimon flips backwards, kicking Stingmon up in the air with her Flower Cutter. Stingmon stumbles back, but regains control and hovers in the air. "Okay. Just because I want to rub your body down with chocolate sauce, doesn't mean I won't kick your ass!" "That's more like it! Don't be distracted by the female form."
Stingmon flies towards Lilimon. She puts her hands together and fires a Flower Cannon directly at Stingmon. The blast hits Stingmon dead on, sending him falling to the ground. Lilimon soars down and lands on Stingmon's back with both feet. "OWW!" Lilimon flies up and charges up another Flower Cannon. Stingmon gets up and charges his Moon Cannon. The two blasts meet in the middle, but Lilimon's Moon Cannon easily engulfs Stingmon's Moon Cannon, and hits Stingmon with a reduced blast. Stingmon flies back, over towards Dante. "Oh my goodness! This spicy young lass is giving Stingmon quite the wallop!" "He's fighting an Ultimate right now. I don't think even one of the toughest Champions like Stingmon can stand a chance against an Ultimate. Plus he's already taken severe damage." Raziya looks on with delight. Stingmon has been on the receiving end of many attacks, and now he finds himself facing a freshly digivolved Ultimate, who's also every bug Digimon's fantasy. Dante is concerned for Stingmon. He's never gone up against an Ultimate one on one before. While at his Champion form, Stingmon will keep fighting until he has nothing left, if he had the choice. But up against an Ultimate, would he continue fighting until he was defeated?

Stingmon continues taking a beating from the Ultimate Digimon. After each big attack, Stingmon keeps getting back up, slower, and slower each time. He struggles to raise his energy cannon and point it a Lilimon, but Stingmon doesn't have enough energy to fire a blast. Judith is worried about Stingmon. "Dante! Call off the fight!" Dante just stands there, tightening his fist. "You've got to push through this, Stingmon! I know somewhere deep inside you have what it takes!" "Dan, te..." "Stingmon, now!" "D-dan... te..." Stingmon starts to collapse and fall forward. "STINGMOOOOON!" Dante's digivice starts flashing. It starts to change color to a dark shade of red. Stingmon's body becomes illuminated with a bright shade of red. The beaten down Digimon begins to change shape. "Stingmon, digivolve to-" One by one, six long red legs with white bandages wrapped around burst out. Stingmon lets out a loud cry, starting with his usual voice, but by the end changes to a more sinister high pitched cry.
The commentators are shocked. "Hold the telegram, ladies and gentlemen! Stingmon's digivolving!" "I've never before witnessed Dante's partner at the Ultimate level! These immensely powerful fighters are back on the same level again." Stingmon's body stops glowing. "Archnemon!" Stingmon's Ultimate form appears is a giant spider Digimon with white hair, and is mainly red and white with purple stripes. Dante is flabbergasted Stingmon has finally reached Ultimate. "Stingmon, er, Archnemon. You did it! After all this time you've finally reached your Ultimate form." "That's right, Dante. And now I even have breasts!" Raziya and Lilimon are surprised Stingmon digivolved into Archemon. "Hmm, I never expected this. I guess taking that beating forced Stingmon to push it to the next level." "And now it's payback time! Spider style." "I'm not worried. Lilimon is still far more powerful, not to mention quicker and has more experience." "Keep underestimating us. Bad things happen to people who do that."
Lilimon flies up and fires a Flower Cannon. Archnemon jumps out of the way and fires a Spider Thread, slicing up Lilimon with razor sharp wires for massive damage. Lilimon lands on the ground, grabbing her arm in pain. Archnemon lands on the other side of the ring, then charges towards Lilimon, attacking with her lower legs. Lilimon dodges around, avoiding the attacks. Lilimon strikes Archnemon with another Flower Cutter, knocking Archnemon back. Archnemon regains her footing, then leaps forward towards Lilimon and bites her in the neck with her Venom Bite. Archnemon's venom takes hold, reducing Lilimon's vision. "What's going on?! I can't see straight." Archnemon stands on her hind legs and launches a Spider Bomb right towards Lilimon. The large bomb explodes on impact, dealing critical damage. Lilimon falls to the ground defeated, and reverts back to Budmon.
"There you have it folks! Looks like we have our winner!" "Big props to Dante and his partner for coming back this round. Now that Wormmon can reach Ultimate, there's no telling what it will take to stop this Master of Thread." Arachnemon is delighted she defeated Raziya and Lilimon. Feeling fatigued, Archnemon reverts down to Minomon and falls over. Both Tamers rush over to their partners. "Minomon! I didn't expect to see you like this." "That fight took a lot out of me, Dante. I don't know when I'll be able to digivolve to Archnemon again." "Well you sure were something today. Come on, let's go get you rested up." Dante picks up Minomon and walks over to Raziya. She is frustrated she lost, and to a Tamer she once considered just some amateur. "I don't understand. I've traveled the world, trained Budmon, reached Ultimate, defeated powerful foes, and yet still I couldn't beat you." "Don't let it bother you. That was one brutal fight. The important thing is both our Digimon will be alright. Lilimon really is something special." "Thanks Dante. Maybe one day we will have a rematch." "Fat chance! We won fair and square. You'd have to do something pretty amazing to earn a rematch." "Rrr, you jerk!" Raziya slaps Dante in the face, and heads to the back carrying Budmon. "Wow, Dante. You sure have a way with women." "Forget about her. She's just upset. I wonder who's going to fight next."
Dante takes Minomon to the back to recover from the fight. Bogamon is stretching and punching the air. "That was some fight guys! My fight is up next." "Cool! Best of luck, Bogamon. Who are you facing?" "Beats me! I haven't seen him backstage. Well I better finish getting ready. And hey, if I win this fight, that means we will fight each other in the semi finals." "That's right! Go on and kick some butt this round so you two can face off." Dante is rooting for Bogamon, but doesn't consider him a threat. Even if Minomon can only reach Champion form by the semifinals, Bogamon wouldn't last 5 minutes with Stingmon. At least, that's what Dante thinks, after seeing how easily Leomon took out the short-statured muscle head. Bogamon heads out to the ring. "All righty, la-la-ladies and gentlemen! Get ready for the next slobber-knocker!" Bogamon cracks his knuckles, and does some practice kicks. "Ha ha! Who's the sucker that wants a piece of this?! Hoo-ha!" A large shadow is cast over most of the ring. A large Digimon walks out from the back. "Aww, crap!"

A Large dinosaur Digimon comes walking down to the ring. "T-t-that's who I'm fighting?!" The dinosaur lets out a fierce roar. "I am Geo Greymon! I guess that means you are my lunch!" Judith watches on from the crowd, very concerned for Bogamon. "Poor little guy. He talks big, but there's no way he stands a chance against that thing!" Bogamon stands there with his legs shaking. "Ok, keep it together. You're not going to be dino chow today, Bogamon. This is why I've been training so hard." Geo Greymon takes a few steps forward. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get the second battle started!" "And it sure don't look like it's going to be a long drawn out fight. I'm sure Bogamon is a decent figher in his weight class, but Geo Greymon can just chomp this little fella to pieces." Geo Greymon unleashes a Mega Flame towards Bogamon. The Rookie Digimon panics and runs around the ring flailing his arms in the air. "What was I thinking entering this tournament?!" Geo Greymon knocks Bogamon back with a Mega Roar, dealing moderate damage. "Oh no! Geo Greymon's got Bogamon's number alright."
Backstage, Leomon is waiting in an empty hall way, leaning against the wall. Suddenly he hears footsteps. Leomon leans forward and looks down the hall. Duskmon, a large Digimon with black armor covered with eyes comes walking up to Leomon. "Hello again, Leomon. I can't tell you how excited I am to see you." Leomon doesn't say anything, just staring at Duskmon. "How long has it been? 5 years? More?" "It has been a long time, but I have not forgotten." "No doubt... I, encouraged the tournament committee to pair us up in the first round. We wouldn't want you faking an injury in the first round and ducking out of our fight, do we now?" Leomon snarls. "You know full well that I have been looking forward to facing you. Today you will pay for what you have done!" "Aha ha haha! I was expecting a warm welcome after all this time. Enjoy what time you have left. We both know one of us is not walking away from this fight."
Dante comes walking down the hall. He sees Leomon talking to Duskmon. Dante takes a few steps closer. "It seems we have company. I never thought I would see you with friends. Such a pathetic beast!" Duskmon turns and walks away. Leomon lashes out and punches the wall. "It's not my place to ask, but what was that all about?" "That is Duskmon. He lead a raid on my village when I was just a cub. His men killed my family and took me prisoner." "That's terrible!" "I'm no better than him. He sold me as a slave to the Dark One. That was when I first met Wizardmon. I grew up serving my new master. For years I attacked innocent Digimon, just as Duskmon had done to me. All in the name of my master. I had always hoped to become strong enough one day to kill Duskmon." Leomon turns and looks down at Dante. "I must apologize. You did not deserve my wrath. When I saw my prey, I would see Duskmon. Brutally assaulting my prey was the one way I could cope with the pain." "It's not worth much now, but I forgive you."
"I do not deserve forgiveness. I was the one who handed the data core right into Wizardmon's hands. Then he betrays me in the Dark One's court, and I'm branded an exile. Rrr, my entire life purpose has been destruction!" "It doesn't have to be that way any more. You showed mercy when you saved my sister." "Nothing I can do will ever pardon my crimes. Maybe someday, a Digimon I attacked will hunt me down and kill me. The same way I have pursued Duskmon." "Will killing Duskmon free you from your pain?" Leomon rubs his paws across the scars given to him after being betrayed by Wizardmon. "Not a chance. But I might feel better afterwards. Ask me after the fight." Leomon walks down the hall to be left alone for a while. Dante turns around and starts heading back to the locker room to check on Wormmon. (Thinking) "Man, Leomon has a dark past. I thought I would always hate him for the way he attacked me. But he's just a lost soul, exploited by others for violence. I hope you find the inner peace you deserve, one day."

"Geo Greymon vs Bogamon is already off to a hot start. I don't know how much longer Bogamon's going to avoid Geo's fire." Bogamon dodges another Mega Flame. He backs up against the edge of the ring. Geo Greymon charges towards the pint sized body builder and bashes him with a horn charge, sending Bogamon flying out of the ring. "Oh no, Bogamon's been knocked out of the ring! He better get back in there before the count." Bogamon scrambles back over to the ring with his arms waving around in a panic. Geo laughs at the Rookie. "You should have stayed out. Spare yourself from the embarrassment." "The only thing I've got to be embarrassed about is that I'm standing in the ring with a fatass lizard with terrible breath!" Bogamon morphs his cyborg hand into its cannon mode. He raises his arms and points up at Geo. "Take this! TOMATO CANNOOOOOON!!!" Bogamon shoots a tomato at Geo. The tomato hits Geo in the horn, slowly sliding down. "Is that all? Mega Flame!" Geo unleashes a scorching Mega flame, hitting Bogamon for significant damage.
"Oh! That's gotta burn, Giles!" "He just microwaved Bogamon!" "Did they have microwaves when you were growing up?" "No, we had to cook our food over an open fire. Gave the noodles a nice smokey flavor." "Bogamon's going to have a nice smokey flavor after that last attack." Bogamon rasies his cannon again. "You might be underestimating me now, but I can do better than that! TOMATO BARRAAAAAAGE!!!" Bogamon shoots out a dozen tomatoes from his cannon. The tomatoes hit Geo, making him all sticky. "Stop that! This is really annoying!" Geo tries wiping off all the tomato guts. With Geo distracted, Bogamon morphs his hand back, and takes up a defensive stance. He squats down flexing every muscle he can, charging power. "Now I'll show you what I'm really made of! Macho Transformation!" Bogamon's muscles start bulking up. He starts getting bigger. His body nearly triples in size. Geo notices Bogamon's transformation. "You're still nowhere near as strong as I am! Time to finish you once and for all!" Geo fires another Mega Flame. Bogamon puts up his forearms to guard, embracing the blast. Geo turns around and swings his tail at Bogamon. The supped up Bogamon grabs Geo's tail. "What's this? Let go now!" With all his might Bogamon pulls on Geo's tail. He starts spinning around in circles, spinning Geo around in the air. Bogamon lets go, sending Geo flying into the crowd. Bogamon charges over and jumps up into the air. With his hands clenched tight together he drops a double axe fist down right on top of Geo, knocking the dinosaur out.
"My stars! Bogamon has done the impossible!" "There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! Bogamon overcoming the odds and finishing off Geo Greymon in spectacular fashion." Bogamon poses on top of Geo, flexing his muscles. The crowd goes wild for the tomato shooting muscle head. Bogamon goes back to his normal size and starts walking to the back. Dante and Wormmon meet him at the top of the ramp. "Holy smokes Bogamon! Who knew you had it in you?" "No one gave you a chance, but you sure finished strong." "Thank you guys! I never could defeated Geo Greymon if it wasn't for all our hardcore training. Hoo ha!" "That means we're facing each other in the second round." "And it's gonna be awesome! My Moon Cannon against your Tomato Cannon. Stingmon vs super steroid Bogamon!" "Ya, the Sultan will be lucky if there is anything left of the ring afterwards. Hahaha!" "We're looking forward to it. I wonder who's going to be fighting next?" Something catches Dante's attention out of the corner of his eye. He sees a dark figure moving in the shadows. "What are you looking at, Dante?" "It's probably nothing." Dante gets a little nervous. Were Piedmon's lackeys fighting in the tournament? His fight with Raziya was tough enough. He could only guess what kind of Digimon would be in the next fight.

Dante, Wormmon, and Bogamon join Judith in the stands to watch the next fight. Suddenly, the crowd feels an eerie presence. The normally rowdy crowd quiets down. Out walks a cloaked figure. "Hey, I think that's the Renamon from before!" "You're right. Why would they enter the tournament?" The cloaked Renamon walks over to one side of the ring and looks down, completely ignoring the audience. "Who is this mysterious entrant?" "I saw them in the preliminaries. Not much of a showman, but they were very efficient in battle." The crowd turns their attention to the next fighter. Misty and Bokomon come skipping happily down the ramp. "I know her too. It's popsicle girl!" Misty looks around waving both hands. "Hey, everybody! I'm so excited to be here!" Dante is stunned. "Wait, she actually made it past the preliminaries?" "Don't know how. She's such an airhead. Which explains why she's crazy about you, brother." "Pardon me if I fail to laugh."
Misty and Bokomon stand on the other side of the ring. "Alright, Misty? Are you ready?" "Oh ya, let's do this!" Bokomon takes the digivice out of his pink waist band and points it at Misty. "Execute, Spiral Evolution!" Nothing happens. "Try again, dear." "Okay, um, Spirit Digivolution!" Nothing happens again. The crowd looks confused. The Sultan watching from the balcony up above laughs. "Oh, I like her. She's amusing." Several Digimon in the crowd get agitated. "It's Spirit Evolution you big ditz!" "Whoopsie! Okay, here we go... Spirit, Revolution!" *Crickets* Bokomon face palms. "Ha, gotcha! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. He we go, again... Spirit, Evolution!" Misty starts to glow bright white. She Spirit Evolves into a Digimon Dante has never seen before. She is wearing black and white boots, fishnets, a black leotard, white gloves, and a short black and red circus ringleader jacket. Her red hair has grown longer, with streaks of white. She's wearing a small white mask over one of her eyes, and a large black top hat. Her outfit is covered with various black and white spirals. "It's showtime! Introducing my lovely partner, Cambramon!"
The cloaked Renamon just stands there. "A Digimon Tamer, with a Human Digimon? What madness is this?!" "That's right! A little unconventional, but the best things in life are. Time to put on a show!" Renamon and Cambramon step forward. "Alrighty. Not the combatants I was expecting, but this should be an interesting fight. Let the 3rd match begin!" Renamon dashes towards Cambramon and goes for a melee attack. Cambramon jumps back to avoid the attack. "Missed me!" Renamon unleashes a few more strikes, but Cambramon is easily able to block or dodge the attacks. "Stop fooling around and fight! I want to get this sideshow over with." "Come on, where's the fun in that? Card Trick!" Cambramon launches a deck of cards at Renamon, knocking them back. Renamon takes a few steps back and jumps in the air. "Diamond Storm!" Renamon launches several diamond spears at Cambramon. The wacky ringleader uses Card Trick again. The spears pierce through the cards and fall to the ground. "You'll have to do better than that!"
Renamon dashes towards Cambramon. At the last second, Renamon teleports behind Cambramon, and strikes her with a claw attack for light damage. "Come on, Cambramon! Don't let your guard down." "I'm just getting warmed up here. Magic Illusion!" Renamon strikes Cambramon again, but her hand passes right through. Cambramon appears next to Renamon, and lands a surprise uppercut, knocking Renamon down. "Missed me again!" Renamon goes for another attack, but Cambramon jumps back. "It's time for my next trick, The Magic Box!" Cambramon raises her hands, and a large box appears next to Renamon. Cambramon pushes Renamon into the box and shuts the door. "Now, watch in amazement while I insert these razor sharp swords into the box!" Cambramon summons several floating swords around the box. One by one Cambramon inserts the swords. "She's going to turn Renamon into a digi pincushion!" Once all the swords are in the box, Cambramon opens the door. The only thing left inside the box are the swords and Renamon's cloak. Renamon appears in the air and launches a barrage of diamond spears down, hitting Cambramon for moderate damage. "Hold the telegram! It appears our mysterious fighter is Renamon! And don't count them out just yet." "I wasn't going to say anything, but the diamond spears did kind of give it away." "Ah-ah, suspension of disbelief." "Sigh, is anyone looking to hire a color commentator?"

Renamon and Cambramon stare each other down. Renamon looks focused and determined. Cambramon looks confident and unintimidated. "This battle has been fun. Not many Digimon have the speed to avoid my tricks. And a Rookie, no less." "I'm not like other Digimon. And don't underestimate me because of my level. I don't need a human crutch to reach my full potential." "You take yourself waaay too seriously. Have some fun! Not all Humans are bad." "Maybe not, but deep down every Human is capable of greed and selfishness. They treat Digimon like weapons of war! There's more to the life of a Digimon besides combat." "Then why have you devoted your life to battling? No Rookie level Digimon could ever attain your skill without years of dedication." "I don't have to explain myself to the likes of you, a Human posing as a Digimon!"
The crowd watches on, waiting for the next attack. Cambramon takes off her top hat and bows to Renamon. "Whenever you're ready, dear." Renamon raises her paws, and unleashes a barrage of razor sharp leaves. Cambramon turns the inside of her hat towards the attack. A small whirlwind sucks the leaves into the top hat. "Zounds! Cambramon making that attack disappear before our very eyes!" "Hahaha, fighting me is futile. I have a wide variety of powers and attacks in my arsenal. I'm no one trick pony." Renamon dashes towards Cambramon and strikes with a claw attack, knocking Cambramon back. "You can use all the tricks you want. In a fist fight, you're powerless." Renamon goes for another strike. Cambramon dodges and jumps back. "True, but why get my hands dirty?" Cambramon launches the razor sharp leaves out of her hat, hitting Renamon for light damage. Renamon unleashes another diamond storm. Cambramon spins around and vanishes from sight. Renamon glances around, waiting for her to reappear.
Renamon can hear Cambramon's laughter coming from all around her. Cambramon reappears behind Renamon. Before Cambramon can use another trick, Renamon sees it coming and turns around, landing a claw attack right to the face, cutting her open. Cambramon falls to the ground, her hand pressed against her face to try and stop the blood flow. "That's my queue to stop playing around and finish this." Cambramon raises her hands to the sky and drops down some smoke bombs. Another magic box appears. Several magical chains fly out of the box and snatch Renamon, strapping her down. Cambramon closes the lid and takes out a saw. "For my next trick, I'm going to saw my unwilling fluffy assistant in half! Well, it's not really a trick. I'm just going to saw her in half for real." Cambramon starts sawing through the middle. "Look at this, Giles! Live surgery, only here at the Nubar Desert Tournament!" Renamon tosses and turns, trying to break free. Suddenly Renamon disappears in a cloud of leaves. Renamon and Cambramon switch places, with Renamon holding the saw, and Cambramon in the box. "What's this? That's not how this works!" "Renamon just turned the table, folks! Will this be the end for our gorgeous magician?"
Renamon starts sawing away. Cambramon frees herself from the shackles and escapes out the side of the box. "Come on, did you really think I wouldn't have a way out of my own trick?" Renamon is enraged. "What the hell are you?! No matter what I try, you just escape like it's nothing!" Renamon's confidence has been rattled. Reality sets in, and she realizes she cannot win this fight. Renamon takes a few steps back, cowering with her paws up in anticipation of the next attack. "Aha ha haha! I have to hand it to you, that little switcheroo is pretty neat. Against an average foe, you would prove to be quite a challenge." Cambramon starts pulling a chain out of her sleeve. She swings the chain in the air and throws it towards Renamon. It wraps around the fox Digimon, immobilizing her. "You have some negative opinions about Humans. And to tell you the truth, I kind of agree with you. However, such strong emotions have no place in combat. Your fate has been sealed." Cambramon takes off her top hat and throws it in the air. The hat hovers above the trapped Digimon, spinning around. It starts to get larger and larger, until eventually it lowers down over Renamon. The hat shrinks back to normal size. Cambramon skips over and picks up the hat. She reaches in and pulls out a mini version of Renamon. "You've seen magicians pull a rabbit out of a hat. Well I decided to mix it up a little." Cambramon looks up towards the Sultan and raises the mini Renamon in the air. "I hope this means I won. I'd hate to hurt such a cute little critter." The Sultan stands up and approaches the edge of the balcony. "Your winner of the match, the amazing Cambramon! And quite a show it was." The Sultan claps, entertained by Cambramon's antics.
"There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! Cambramon advances to the semi finals! What tricks does she have in store for her second act?" Cambramon throws Renamon in the air. Renamon returns to normal size and lands outside the ring. Humiliated by her opponent, she storms off to the back in disgrace. Losing to a Human in such a demeaning way? This hurt her more than any attack Cambramon could have hit her with. Dante and the others are shocked to see Cambramon fight so well. "Wow. I had no clue she is so powerful!" "Maybe the whole airhead shtick is just another part of her act." Bokomon is very pleased his Human partner won. "Very good performance, Misty! You had the Sultan watching your every move." "Well, you know me. I love to put on a good show." Bokomon raises the digivice, and Cambramon reverts back to her Human form. The two head up the ramp to the back. Wormmon noms some popcorn. "Hey guys, Leomon's fight is up next!" "That's right! Oh no, I've got a bad feeling about this one." Dante thinks back to what Leomon said. This wasn't going to be just another battle. This was years of aggression building up, like a dam waiting to burst. "This fight is going to be personal. There's no telling how far Leomon will go. And if Duskmon is as power as he is terrifying, this will truly turn into an all out bloodbath." There was no stopping the fight now. Leomon is determined to make Duskmon pay.

"Introducing our next combatant, a successful champion on the independent circuit, the subject of many nightmarish folktales and legends, the always terrifying, Duskmon!" Duskmon walks slowly down the ramp, not acknowledging the crowd. Step by step, his heavy armor clinks and clanks. As they pass by a cameraman, a dark shiver crawls up his spine, and he falls over quivering. Duskmon stops in the center of the ring. He turns towards the Sultan and raises his sword. Duskmon bows before the Sultan in a sign of respect. The Sultan smiles and claps. He turns to one of his servants. "Isn't he something? His contract was a favor from Piedmon. His presence is going to draw all kinds of attention to Nubar." Dante and the others watch from the crowd, uneasy about this fight. "There's someone who is prepared to either kill, or be killed."
The fans are uneasy seeing Duskmon. No one knows how many Digimon have lost their homes, family, even their lives to raids lead by Duskmon. "He's giving me the creeps, Giles, and we're all the way up here. Duskmon's preliminary match was the quickest of anyone in the tournament." "Some of the combatants fled the ring just at the sight of Duskmon." "Let's hope our final combatant has the courage to fight. Lucky for us, it's the fan favorite, Leomon!" Leomon stands on top of a wall next to the entrance ramp. He jumps down and charges to the ring, never taking his eyes off Duskmon. "Zounds! Leomon's ready to have at him. Let the final round today begin!" Leomon runs towards Duskmon and goes for a ferocious punch. The punch nails Duskmon right in the face, knocking him down and sending him flying to the edge of the ring. "Ya! Way to go Leomon!" "Could he really have won already?" After a few seconds, Duskmon rises to his feet. "I hope for your sake, you can do better than that." "Stop messing around and take this fight seriously!" "I am taking it seriously. I just felt that you deserved a free shot after what I did to you all those years ago." Leomon raises his hands and takes up an offensive stance. "If forgiveness is what you seek, you won't find any here!" Leomon leaps in the air and goes for another punch, but Duskmon vanishes before his very eyes. Leomon glances around looking for Duskmon, but doesn't see him anywhere.
Leomon's shadow starts to change shape. Dark energy rises up from the ground, taking the form of a ghoulish looking silhouette. The energy lifts Leomon high in the air, before disappearing, sending Leomon plummeting to the ground. Duskmon reappears standing over Leomon. "I figured after all this time, you would have figured out how to defend yourself. I'm disappointed you are still the weak little cub you always were." Leomon rises to his feet. "Grrr, I've been fighting all my life just so that one day I could make you pay!" "Aha ha haha! So full of pain and hatred. And yet you have become what you hated most of all. A murderer, a mercenary. Harming innocent Digimon, just because you are ordered to. You're a tool of war, and you'll never be free." "You can keep your speeches and your philosophy. I fight with my fists, not my words." Dante and the others watch on. "It's time to put that creep in his place! Show him what you're made of, Leomon!" Dante looks around. "Hey, does anyone see Wormmon? Why would the Worm King miss this fight?" "I don't see him. Where did he crawl off to?"

Leomon charges at Duskmon. At the last moment, Leomon jumps to the side to catch them off guard. Duskmon turns and takes a step back. Leomon lands a ferocious uppercut, knocking Duskmon back. Duskmon goes for an attack, but Leomon throws another punch. "Leomon's going crazy! He's just assaulting Duskmon!" Leomon lands a couple more punches, until Duskmon jumps out of the ring. "Get back here!" "Ahahaha! Your strength is linked to your anger. I may have underestimated you. Now it's time for one of my favorite abilities." Duskmon jumps back into the ring. His armor opens up, revealing several holes. Dark mist begins flowing out from Duskmon's armor. Soon, the entire ring is surrounded by a thick fog. "Hold the phone, Giles! Duskmon has just covered the entire ring with some kind of fog! We can't even see what's going on." Leomon looks around, trying to detect Duskmon. "A nice trick, but it's not going to stop me!"
Leomon can hear Duskmon raise his sword. He hears him approaching from the side, but is unable to dodge in time. Duskmon dashes forward and strikes Leomon in the side with his sword, before retreating back into the fog. "Face it, you're nowhere near ready to fight me at my full power. I've been killing Digimon throughout the Digital World for years, and I've picked up more than a few tactics along the way." Leomon hears strange sounds coming all around him. He hears agonizing screams, and fire spreading in all directions. "This technique causes hallucinations. Think back to the day I attacked your village. Remember hearing your family cry out in agony as this very sword ended their lives!" Leomon puts his hands over his ears, trying to block the screams. "Stop it stop it! I don't want to relive this!" "Ahahahaha!"
Duskmon raises his hand in the air. He starts absorbing energy from Digimon in the crowd. Beams of light pierce out of the fog, flying towards Digimon and draining their energy. "One of them is attacking the crowd! That's grounds for disqualification!" "It's probably Duskmon, but there's no way of telling who it is through the fog." With the stolen energy, Duskmon dashes towards Leomon from behind and stabs him right through the back. Leomon roars in pain as Duskmon pulls the sword out, and hits Leomon on the back of his head with the hilt, knocking him down. Leomon lays on the ground in horrible pain. Flashbacks of the attack on his village run through his mind. "I wont let you get away with this!" Leomon gets up, and starts firing Beast King Fists in all directions. One of them hits Duskmon, knocking him down. Leomon charges towards him and pounces on top, repeatedly punching him in the face. Duskmon grabs Leomon by his mane and headbutts him. Both of them roll around on the ground, punching each other.
Dante and the others can only guess what's going on inside the fog. (Thinking) "Come on Leomon! This is what you've been waiting for." Dante thinks back to when Leomon attacked him after the Data Core Tournament. He knows first hand how much rage Leomon has. This is his one chance to get revenge. Duskmon grabs Leomon by the arm and twists it. Duskmon gets up and stands over Leomon, holding him by the arm. "I can't risk losing to a cub like you. Not now, not ever." Duskmon stomps down on Leomon, still twisting him arm. He lets go and retreats back into the fog. Leomon struggles to get up, his injuries starting to add up. He can't take much more of a beating. Duskmon raises his sword and channels his energy into it. "I'm going to do what I should have done, all those years ago. Goodbye, Leomon." Duskmon charges forward, striking with his sword. Leomon raises his left arm up to block the sword. Duskmon's sword slices into his arm, nearly cutting in off. With his other hand, Leomon takes his knife and stabs Duskmon in the face. Duskmon falls down backwards, and Leomon's left arm is severed.
With what little energy Leomon has left, he channels it into a last Beast King Fist, dealing Duskmon a final blow. Duskmon screams in agony, coughing up blood. The fog begins to clear up. "Hey, I think I can see them now!" Leomon drops his knife, holding what's left of his left am in pain. "Oh my Goddess! Leomon's arm is completely gone!" Leomon collapses forward, struggling to breath. Duskmon struggles to speak one last time. "You did it, Leomon! I have finally, been defeated, at the hands of someone I have wronged. I had to unleash your rage. Only you, could have granted me peace. Don't make the mistakes I did. Find, something more in life, than just seeking power. Thank you, Leomon." The eyes on Duskmon's body slowly close, and his body disintegrates into bits of data. "He did it! Leomon's the winner!"

Dante, Judith, Bogamon, and Leomon all meet up in the back. Leomon is being treated by the medics. "Wow! You sure took a beating, but in the end you taught Duskmon a lesson!" "Do you feel better now that you've made him pay for what he did?" Leomon stares at the wall in deep thought. "I thought I would, but now that it's over, I don't know how I feel. For years I've wanted to kill Duskmon, and now I have nothing left to accomplish." Judith steps forward, determination in her eyes. "You've avenged your village, and countless other Digimon that suffered Duskmon's wrath! You don't have to fight any more." "True, but I'm still going to finish the tournament. I will fight Cambramon in the semifinals tomorrow." "But you lost your arm! There's no reason to keep fighting." "You should get a cybernetic tomato cannon arm like me!"
Leomon chuckles. "Not a bad idea, but I'm thinking about some steel claws." "Also great!" One of the guards walks into the room. "Excuse me, Dante? The Sultan wishes to speak with you." "Gasp! The Sultan?!" "Of course. Take care guys, and I'll meet you back at the pizzeria." "Be sure to look around for Wormmon." Dante follows the guard to the Sultan's throne room. The Sultan is sitting on a large golden throne with intricate designs. "Dante, congratulations on advancing to the semifinals today." Dante is a bit awestruck. "Y-yes, thank you your highness." "I admit, I wasn't expecting the circus to enter my tournament, but nonetheless, very entertaining."
The Sultan rises up from his throne and approaches Dante, his long white and golden robes dragging across the marble floor. "There's something strange about you. Almost as if I already know you. Nonetheless, I'm sure you're wondering why I have summoned you. Not long ago, I made a deal with Piedmon, the Prince of Chaos. In exchange for guarding prisoners, he sent some of his disciples to compete in my tournament. Not a bad deal on my end." The Sultan snaps his fingers and raises his hand forward. A servant walks over and opens a box in front of him. The Sultan reaches in and pulls out the doll forms of Cassius and Betamon.

Dante is stunned. "Cassius!" The Sultan laughs. "Yes, I take it you were somehow involved with the Prince of Chaos returning. However, none of the fighters he sent have made it to the semifinals. So the way I figure it, I will give up these dolls to whoever wins my tournament. If you, or one of your friends should win, they will be free once more." Dante bows in respect. "Thank you, your highness! I assure you, I will do my best to win this tournament in the name of the great city of Nubar." "Of course, see to it that you do. That is all. Take care, Dante."
Dante exits the throne room, and leaves the palace to return to the pizzeria. (Thinking) "I haven't seen Wormmon anywhere. Maybe I should look around some more first. Now where would the Worm King be? Ah yes, likely somewhere in the food district." Dante searches Nubar's food district. After a while, he hears a woman laughing off in the distance. He decides to take a closer look. Dante sees Wormmon and Misty, walking down the street with popsicles. "Hey Dante! Check out these delicious popsicles!" "What the hell do you think you're doing?! Why did you run off like that?"
"Well I was thirsty, so I went to go grab some sodas, but then I saw Misty, and we started hanging out. Then we decided to get some burgers. After burgers I was still hungry, so we got popsicles." Misty runs up and hugs Dante. "Oh Dante, I'm so sorry! I would never do anything to hurt you! Oh, please forgive me, I'll make it up to you!" Dante struggles to break free from Misty's grasp. "It's alright. Actually there is something you can do for me. I just spoke with the Sultan. He says that he will release my friend if one of us wins the tournament. If by some fluke chance you manage to win, just let Cassius come back to the Human World with me." "He said that? Oh of course, Dante! Although if he's cute, I might just have to keep him for myself. Unless you go on a date with me!"
Dante is caught off guard. "Ugh, a date?!" "Ya, silly! Just a quick one so we can spend some time alone together. Oh, there's so many places in Nubar we can go!" "Ya, I don't see the harm in that." Misty jumps up and down. "Yay! Win or lose, we will get together tomorrow after the semifinals. Cya later!" Misty finishes the rest of her popsicle in one bite, and skips away happily. "Wow Dante, you finally got a date!" "Ya, not one I'm looking forward to." "Why is it when a girl is finally interested in you, you don't feel that way about her?" "That's just how people are sometimes. Come on, let's get back to the pizzeria. We're taking on Bogamon tomorrow, and I want to go over strategy with you tonight."

Dante and Wormmon head back to the pizzeria. Judith and Bogamon are chowing pizza down. Bogamon hears them come in the door. "There's my next opponent! I thought for sure you were chickening out of our fight tomorrow." "Chicken out? Me? The Worm King?! You wish! Better write a will while you're still breathing, ya muscled up tomato brain!" Bogamon and Wormmon get up in each other's faces. "Calm down, you two. It's just one fight." Wormmon takes a piece of cheese pizza off Bogamon's plate and noms it. *Talking with food in his mouth* "Just be ready for me to whoop that scrawny butt of yours. You're all upper body strength."
The next day, the gang heads to the stadium for the semifinals. Bogamon's preparing for the fight by punching the air, doing jumping jacks, and push ups. "Must, squash, annoying, know-it-all, bug!" The commentators head to the booth to talk about the semifinals. "Good day, ladies and gentlemen! We have reached the semifinals, which means there will be two fights today, and the winners will face each other tomorrow." "This tournament is just flying by. But look at all the exciting matches we've seen so far. Dante and Raziya battling each other with Ultimate Digimon, Bogamon overcoming the odds, Cambramon putting on a magic show, and Leomon losing an arm in his fight against Duskmon. Who's going to advance to the finals?"
"That last fight was vicious! Having lost an arm, will Leomon be able to compete today?" "If I know Leomon, not even an injury as serious as this will stop him. But going up against someone as powerful as Cambramon, will his injury be the deciding factor?" "Our first fight today, Dante and the Worm King will take on Bogamon! If Wormmon goes Ultimate again, there's no way Bogamon is leaving victorious." "That might be true, but I don't think Wormmon has recovered enough to digivolve to Archnemon. I'm not going to rule either one of them out. Here they come now!" Dante and Wormmon walk down the ramp. Both of them look determined to win. Judith watches from the stands. (Thinking) "This is it, Dante. Don't try anything risky, just defeat Bogamon and make it to the finals." Bogamon comes walking down the ramp, punching the air, hooting and hollering. (Thinking) "Okay, Bogamon. I can't be intimidated. Wormmon may be tough, but I am tougher!"

The Sultan approaches the balcony and raises his arms high. "Let the semifinals begin!" Wormmon and Bogamon stare each other down. Bogamon goes for a few punches and kicks, while Wormmon jumps, dives, and dodges around. Wormmon lands a headbutt, dealing light damage. Bogamon frantically starts punching faster, landing a punch for light damage. Wormmon fires a silk thread, but Bogamon dodges, and responds with a quick karate chop, sending Wormmon flying across the ring. "Step it up, Wormmon! You've got to get stronger in your Rookie stage if you want to be a well rounded competitor."
Bogamon converts his cybernetic arm to a cannon, and fires a tomato, hitting Wormmon in the face. Wormmon starts eating the tomato. While Wormmon is distracted, Bogamon charges forward and punts Wormmon into the air. Wormmon flies across the arena and lands in the crowd. Dante decides enough is enough, and pulls out his digivice. Stingmon soars out of the crowd and flies back into the ring. Bogamon looks up at the Champion Digimon, his fists shaking. Bogamon dashes towards Stingmon and punches him in the legs a few times. Stingmon doesn't flinch. Bogamon backs up and starts breathing heavily. Stingmon sticks his hand out and holds Bogamon back by his head. Bogamon struggles to reach Stingmon with his punches, but Stingmon holds him in place.
The Sultan is amused by the fight. Was it really this one sided? Bogamon changes tactics. He grabs ahold of Stingmon's arm an wraps his leg around. "Armbar! Tap out, Stingmon!" It has no effect. Stingmon tries to shake Bogamon off, but he clings on. Stingmon drops his hand down like swinging a heavy hammer, smashing Bogamon down on the ring floor. Bogamon lays there, his eyes look like X's spinning around. "Uuuughghhhghhh!... Must, win, fight..." Stingmon smirks, and jumps back a few steps to create distance. "That's right! The Worm King is large and in charge! I'm the Champ!" Stingmon starts flexing and posing, mocking Bogamon's trademark poses.
