Titans Tower Morning

The Sun has begun rising over the horizon into the blue sky, casting sunbeams in every direction and illuminating the coastal city. It was a perfect weather for residents to enjoy the company for friends and family. In fact, today marked a very special day for a certain extraterrestrial.

Inside Titans Tower, Starfire woke to the noise of a ringing alarm. "The day has arrived!" The cheerful gasped happily. Reaching over to her dresser, she shut off the source of the ringing, an Amazing Mumbo alarm, and opened a drawer stuffed with party favors and toys. Sweeping up the lot while giggling, she made her way to her door where she peeked into the hallway cautiously and looked back and forth, making sure the coast was clear. More of that bubbly laughter escaped her as she zipped out of her room and started easing toward the corner, whisking from one wall to the other as she a result of the constant shifting, her armload jingled slightly, resulting in one item falling away when she ducked around the bend and she reach back and picking the item up.

Just about she continue to her destination Yuki and Kotemon started to come out of their room and saw the strange sight the Tamaranian was carrying

"Uh... Starfire?" Yuki asked. Starfire quickly whirled around and flew up to them.

"Oh, Friends Yuki and Kotemon! Happy Blorthog!" Starfire said as she placed necklaces made up of round silver bells around Tamer and Digimon's necks.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, Starfire, what is Blorthog?" Kotemon asked, confused. Before Starfire could answer Yuki spoke, "I'm guessing it's a Tamaranian holiday is that right Starfire?" The Tamer said as said Tamaranian nodded.

"Why yes Friend Yuki Blorthog is the day that we celebrate the bonds of friendship and all of these gifts and trinkets are to help celebrate. Now I shall go and share these with the others," Starfire said as she started flying towards the Ops Center with Yuki and the Digimon trailing behind her.

"Well I hope the others are up to it." Kotemon said.

"Oh, what could possibly go wrong today?" Starfire said as Yuki did a faceplam at that 'Never say that Starfire.' he thought as the door to the Ops Center opened. "Happy Blorthog!" She shouted but stopped when she saw the state of the other Titans. Robin was listening to loud rock music from the radio, Raven was reading her book while a pair of nail clippers hovered next to her head but the main source of the loud noise was Cyborg and Beast Boy arguing over who gets to play one of their games next since there was only one controller being used. Starfire and Kotemon looked around in shock while Yuki rub his head as his headache returned full force.

"Well I saw that coming." The Tamer said. While Kotemon heard his Tamer, Starfire didn't appear to listen as she flew one by one to the others to tell them of her holiday, though none of them were listening. After a while, Yuki and Kotemon walked up to Starfire and the Tamer placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Starfire, maybe we should celebrate later when everyone's calmed down," Kotemon suggested.

"But there is no better time to celebrate Blorthog than-" Starfire said but was interrupted by Cyborg accidentally bumping into her, making one of her necklaces break, making the bells fall to the ground. Yuki and Kotemon looked at them at them when they saw the look of shock on Starfire's face.

"Oh boy," Yuki and Kotemon said as they cover their heads. Starfire clenched her fists in anger before finally shouting.

"STTTTOOOPPPP!" She yelled, causing everyone to stop arguing and turn their attention towards her.

"Friends must never behave this way, and especially not on Blorthog! Do you wish to invite the Rekmas?" Starfire asked, worried. All the Titans looked at her confused.

"Gesundheit? Ow!" Beast Boy asked before getting nudged in his side by Cyborg who was standing next to him.

"On my world, 'Rekmas' means 'the Drifting.'" Starfire explained remorsefully as she turned away from her friends. "The point at which close friends begin to drift apart-and their friendship… begins to die."

"Aw, come on, Starfire." The African bionic cried.

"We are so not Rek-whatever-ing." The green teen reassured as he waved his right hand in front of his face.

"We're getting on each other's nerves a little. Big deal." The mage stated.

"Yeah, happens all the time," Beast Boy he rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah. This is just typical roommate stuff. We're not going to drift apart, Star. I promise." The spiky-haired Titan comforted. "We'll all be friends forever."

"Forever?" The redhead asked worriedly.

Before she could continue pondering what her friends said, a beeping sounded from Robin's communicator before he pulled it from his belt.

"Titans! Trouble!" The leader exclaimed as he ran to the door. But as Yuki and Kotemon was about to leave when they turned to see Starfire still standing there.

"Hey, Starfire?" Yuki asked and she looked up at them. "How about when we get back, we celebrate Blorthog, uh?" Kotemon asked. Starfire smiled and flew into the air.

"Oh yes, let us make this quick then," Starfire said as she flew out of the room with The Digimon and the Tamer right behind her.

Metro Arts Technologies

The distress signal came from the museum in Jump City called Metro Arts Technologies. Inside the building a portal of white light opened up and turned black after a moment as if a second hand had swept across it. Out stepped a goateed man in black armor, with gold reinforcements at his wrists and ankles; he also wore a gold breastplate and helmet that left his face exposed. There was also a small blue lens on the forehead of his helmet. The room he entered was filled with ticking clocks from many historical periods, however the man only had his eyes set on a small clock in a cylindrical gold housing, with a glass hemisphere on top.

Making his way across the exhibit, the man heard a voice when he reached the glass display. "Hey, stop!" The voice called out to him. The intruder turned to face the source of the noise and saw two armed guards with weapons cocked and pointed at him.

"Stop yourselves!" The thief smirked as he waved his left hand carelessly at them. An instant later, both men were frozen in ice. "I didn't journey back in time one hundred years to squabble, I came to steal." The villain spoke as he turned toward the clock on display, "The Clock of Eternity. Valuable in the past, priceless in the future." He reached for the precious item, but a red and yellow disc had other plans as it deflected his hand from the case.

"But for the present, you'll keep your filthy hands off it." The time traveler heard a young voice quip. He looked up toward the balcony and saw the seven heroes standing by the railing, ready to fight.

"The Teen Titans. This is a treat." The man chuckled as laser blasters popped out from his shoulder pads, "I read all about you in the historical archives. And now you're all history!" He exclaimed as he opened fire on the group.

"Titans! GO!" Robin shouted as he and the others leapt over the railing to avoid the blasts.

The futuristic thief pivoted to follow the team and fired again with a shout, aiming at the Boy Wonder. As he tried avoiding the shots, he whipped out his fighting staff and extended it to full length, parrying the barrages with ease. However, the last shot broke the weapon in half and forced him to retreat.

With the masked Titan out of commission, Starfire flew in to charge the villain, followed by a green lion. Priming her powers, the Tamaranian carved a long double groove in the floor before coming upon her target. But this soon proved to be ineffective as the man effortlessly deflected the attacks back toward their owner, knocking her out of the air.

Next, the big green jungle cat took a shot at the time traveler. Growling as it charged, the green lion leapt into the air, bringing down two large claws ready to slash the villain. But, to the felines' surprise, the man held up his right hand, where a blaster popped from the gauntlet. Crackling with electricity, the weapon discharged the energy at the animal, immobilizing it in mid-leap.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven chanted, catching the advanced humans' attention. He looked just in time to see two grandfather clocks come hurling toward him, but easily knocked the projectiles away with a wave of his hand. He countered the mage by firing a beam from his helmet that drove her to the ground.

"Raven!" Yuki yells quickly grabbing her before she hit the ground. The criminal was clear for only a moment, though, as Cyborg broke out his sonic cannon and fired a blast that connected with its' intended target, throwing up a cloud of dust. "Boo-yah! Huh?" The metallic teen gasped as he saw his opponent unharmed and surrounded by a force field. Taking it down, the time traveler threw a circular device that stuck to the bionics' chest. The projectile resembled that of a kitchen timer, and when the pointer turned a notch, sparks coursed through every part of the poor Titans' body. "Draining my power cell!" Cyborg groaned as he slowly fell to the ground.

"You cannot defeat Warp. I am from the future." The man, now identified as Warp, boasted as he held up a large disc. When Warp was about to throw the disk he failed to noticed Yuki took out his Leopardmon card while the others are fighting.

*Cue DigiModify! Blank track*

He spins the selected card around gaining it in his hand then he slide it through the D-Arc. "Digi-Modify!" He pauses letting the card read through "Leopardmon's Black Aura Blast Activate!"

Then Kotemon's voice shouted "Black Aura Blast!" the Digimon's voice shouted as an explosive energy struck the time traveler in the chest and knocking him into a nearby wall. Yuki and Kotemon then gets in front of the time thief at the ready.

"Future or not, you're still going down," The Digimon said as Warp somewhat recognize them "Yuki and Kotemon the Slayers of the Demon Lords?!" he asked as it confused the two Titans, "Demon Lords?" Yuki asked as Warp then make use of Yuki and Kotemon's confusion runs over to the glass display and his hand passes through the glass and grabs the clock. He then presses the lens on his chest plate which created a portal Kotemon then noticed it and tells his Tamer "Yuki he's escaping." the Digimon said as the Tamer came out of his confusion "Oh right." he said as they ran over.

"Ta-ta Titans. I have enjoyed our time together but I've got a very bright future ahead of me," Warp said about to walk into the portal. Yuki and Kotemon was about to give chase when Starfire suddenly leaped from the ground and flew straight into Warp.

"Starfire!" They both yelled, reaching out for her. They managed to grab onto each of her boots as they both flew into the portal, all the while tackling Warp in as well into the portal, which suddenly disappeared when they were gone-an instant before Robin hurled himself toward it in an attempt to follow.

"Guys!" The masked leader cried after landing on the floor. The other Titans stared in complete disbelief at having just seen their three friends disappear in front of them.

?!

Yuki and Kotemon looks around at the space they are in to see hundreds of clock faces floating around.

"Woah," The Tamer said to the Digimon, "You said it." Kotemon replied.

"Let go!" Warp yells. The two looks forward to see Starfire still grappling with the time thief.

"You have endangered my friends and ruined Blorthog!" Starfire yelled angered.

"Stop! If you damage the suit before we reach my future-" Warp said but it's too late as Starfire grabs the chest lens and rips it off the suit. A great flash of white flashes through the open space as Warp falls further and further into the abyss. The space is suddenly consumed by darkness as and Starfire continue falling.

"Guys, stay close!" Yuki yelled as he took out his Magnamon card out.

*Cue DigiModify! Blank track*

He spins the selected card around gaining it in his hand then he slide it through the D-Arc. "Digi-Modify!" He pauses letting the card read through "Magnamon's Aura Barrier Activate!" Kotemon then shouted, "Aura Barrier!" as he envelops himself, Starfire, and Yuki in the barrier of light around them. They continue falling until the darkness disappears and they finally impact with the ground. The 'Aura Barrier' goes down as they get up but immediately start shivering. Yuki and Kotemon looks around to see that they landed in a snow-covered area.

"Yuki, Kotemon, what happened? Where are we?" Starfire asked, shivering.

"I don't-" Yuki said but stopped when he looked up. Starfire and Kotemon followed his gaze and gasped as they saw Titans Tower but it looked abandoned. The windows were dark and had holes in them and was almost buried in snow.

"No." Yuki said as he fell to his knees and starts to slam his fist on the ground, "You maniacs, you blew it up. Damn you! Damn you all to hell!" he yelled while getting confused looks from his teammates. "Um Yuki?" Kotemon asked, "Who blew it up?" Starfire asked, as it gave the Tamer a sheepish look as he gets up, "Sorry saw it in a movie once, and I've always wanted to say that, anyways come on we need to find out." Yuki said as they headed to the Tower.

Unknown Location same time as Yuki, Kotemon, and Starfire arrived

At the same time as the three time traveling Titans arrived. A dark figure on a throne sensed one of the Titans something that he hadn't felt in a long time, "Well, well well, it seemed that you did came back from being deleted Zanbamon." The figure said sounded like the Digimon who Diginapped Asuramon now speaking in one evil voice, "But no mater what happens now, I've won and I got you, my true partner." The figure stand up and walked up to a glowing orb, inside it was a young Japanese boy, he was taller than Yuki, and older than him too. He had blue eyes, and brown hair that's perfectly styled. he wore dark green pants, a grey shirt, and some kind of shoulder-pad harness with a red scarf, and a metal brace on his arm and what looks like an apron on his pants. As the figure walks closer to the lit orb his features are more clearly now, he resembled a old man, dressed in a dark green cloak with a blue top. In his right hand was a scepter with a skull stuck on top on it, with a red orb in it's mouth. He has a gold mask with a long nose, obscuring his red eyes. His long, grey hair flowed to his waist. He wore a necklace made of entirely of red jewels embedded in gold the same could be said of who knows how many rings that covered his fingers. Finally, he had four red wings of a demon. "That Monodramon you called 'partner' thought he could defeat me by DNA digivolving with me, but he only got my good half." The figure said as the trapped boy glared at him. "And I've returned the favor by absorbing his data and getting my good half back." He exclaimed. "But now Zanbamon has come back." The figure said as the boy's expression has changed to a shocked look. "I knew that you be shock since that my former top general Zanbamon was actually brainwashed, but he won't be alive for long I've got to send one of my new minions to stop him and his partner, Ryo." he said as he turned around.

"My minions to me!" he shouted as new figures appeared revealing that that the figures as Digimon; as some of them are Devimon, White versions of Devimon, several devilish ram like Digimon, taller forms of Devimon that have masks, a female form of Devimon, two Black and White cyclopes Digimon with two extra eyes on their hands, and a cloaked Digimon that's holding a red trident in his right hand. "My Loyal minions, in one my previous Digivolutions, I've saw a possible future that had me being defeated by a Zanbamon I thought he was deleted but not, will somemon find and stop him and his partner?" he asked. One of the Devimon spoke up, "I will my Lord." He said, "I'm afraid not Devimon those two had met one of you and easily defeated him." The unknown figure exclaimed. "Well this means one of us is out." One of the white Devimon said. "Yes that means you IceDevimon and you too NeoDevimon" The unknown figure said. "Well let me and my brother take care of him." The white cyclops Digimon said. "That's right he can't fight the both of us!" his black brother added. "Since Zanbamon is a Mega, his Ultimate surly will beat you and your brother Ghoulmon." one of the devilish ram like Digimon said. "Well I've heard that three Digimon and their Tamers met one of you and defeated his Mega with their Ultimates Mephistomon." The now named white Goulmon said. "Touché!" the now named Mephistomon said. "So who will go my Lord?" the female Devimon asked. Before the unknown figure could answered the cloaked Digimon who was quiet spoke up in a sophisticated voice. "Isn't it obvious LadyDevimon our Lord wants me to go." he said. "Are you sure Phelesmon?" The unknown figure asked. "Of course my Lord my Black Statue will turn those two into statues before they could do anything." the now named Phelesmon exclaimed. "Okay LadyDevimon will check up on you every fifteenth hours." "But Lord-!" the now named LadyDevimon tried to protest when Phelesmon bowed to the unknown figure. "I won't fail you my Lord." He said as he heads out.

Titans Tower

"Friends? Hello? Friends?" The confused Tamaranian called out as she and her two male teammates made their way through the top floor of the Tower. They noticed a hole had been smashed through the ceiling, allowing snowflakes to enter. "Hello!" She called out once more.

Finding a set of closed doors in their path, Starfire, Yuki, and Kotemon strained to push them open before finally succeeding in forcing the panels away. The three gasped in shock as they realized they had found the remains of the Ops Center. Walking through the room, the Tamaranian, the Tamer, and the Digimon looked left and right, not believing a bit of what they saw. The three then passed the GameStation controller that once sparked such a furor between their two gamer friends, and nudged one of the tinnabula bells the Tamaranian dropped. The jingling caused said Tamaranian to stop and recoil in fear for a moment before she leaned over and pick up one of the now badly rusted chimes.

She fixed it with a wide-eyed look of stunned sadness for a long second and watched as the aged piece of metal crumbled in her palm. It wasn't until the sound of machinery moving in the shadows behind the three that they moved from her spot. "Cyborg!" The hopeful Tamaranian gasped as she and her two male teammates turned to face the source. They saw a red dot glowing in the darkness, and Starfire held up a glowing hand to shed some light. "Oh, Cyborg, thank goodness you are-"

The illumination reached the dark niche and exposed something that had their cybernetic friend's approximate body shape, but was built entirely of mechanical parts. The source of the red spot was an electronic brain sitting in one side of the head. Yuki, Kotemon, and Starfire cried out in fear and the latter threw a starbolt that blew the collection of circuitry away, only to be confronted by several spider-like robots that jumped up from behind the machines' shoulders, each looking like the part Starfire just destroyed. In their terror, the female of the trio continued tossing one shot after another to destroy the contraptions.

"Yo!" A familiar, yet older sounding, voice shouted from the entrance of the Ops Center. The scared Titans faced the source of the voice and saw a hulking silhouette with wires connected to the back. "Who's up here blasting my…" The figure stopped, lowered the piece of pipe it was carrying, and stared at the three, completely stunned. "Star, Yuki, and Kotemon?" The three was shocked to see what was in front of them. The man had aged lines on his face, the armored panels that covered most of his body were either damaged or missing, most of his left leg was replaced with some random components, and the blue lights that used to glow in his circuitry had gone out. "Guys. I don't believe it." The aged bionic awed as he approached his long lost friends, discarding the bludgeon he had armed himself with. "You… you haven't aged a day!"

"Cyborg, what has happened?" The surprised girl asked as she cupped her hands on the sides of their friends' face, "Why are… you…"

"Old?" The old semi-robotic man smiled gently as he crossed the operations center, "Well, that's what happens to folks when you go away for twenty years."

"Twenty years?!" Starfire, Yuki, and Kotemon yelled together in shock.

"You disappeared, guys." Cyborg said as he slid some junk aside, "That battle with Warp, that was a long time ago. You fell through a wormhole, and…" The saddened mechanic looked out the cracked window and across the frozen bay, where the skyline of Jump City huddled under a blanket of snow and a cruel dark sky. "Welcome to the future." Yuki and Kotemon walked up next to him and looked on in shock and horror.

"This... this can't be the future," The Tamer said.

"The future? But…" The confused alien removed the lens from her belt and held it in front of her, "…I damaged his technology."

The elderly Titan took the object and examined it, "Warp was planning to jump ahead one hundred years, right? Looks like you stopped him at twenty." He explained as he handed the device back.

"Still, I am confused. Please, why are you in disrepair?" The young Titan asked. This comment caused Cyborg to look at himself before turning away and walking over to a night table in the corner.

"Let's just say things haven't gone so well since you three left," Cyborg said regretfully.

"But what of the other Titans? Where are our friends?" Starfire asked.

"The Titans are history, guys. Your friends aren't friends anymore."

"No. You are wrong," Starfire gaped. "This... Everything is wrong! How could such horrible things..." she said before looking down at the lens in her hand. "Warp! His interference in the past must have changed out future."

"Star, I don't think-" Cyborg tried to speak until Yuki spoke "Well could you tell me where everyone in Jump is what about my parents?" He said as Cyborg's face sadden, "I'm sorry but your parents were murder Yuki." he said as the Tamer's eyes grew widen, "What? When? And by who?" Yuki asked. "It's a long story it was a Digimon who was looking for his partner, he was strong enough to kill every super heroes and villains, stop Raven's spells, and he burned your house to the ground along with your parents." Cyborg said, "No you're lying!" Yuki yelled as he ran out, "Yuki come back!" Kotemon called as he turned to Starfire, "Starfire could you asked Cyborg where the others are? I think I know where Yuki is heading." the Digimon said "Why yes friend Kotemon." the Tamaranian said as she nodded as Kotemon catch his Tamer.

Jump Suburbs

When Yuki got to where his house is he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes where his house stood was a tombstone in it's place and on it he saw the most frightful thing imaginable it read;

Here lies Kōji and Samantha Hata, Loving Parents

"No. I can't believe it they're dead." Yuki said as he cried he cried for nine hours, until Kotemon found his Tamer crying, "Yuki?" the Digimon asked, "Please go away Kotemon can't you see that I'm mourning." The Tamer said as he cried as Kotemon came up, "Yuki I know how sad you felt, but this is the future and we can prevent this from ever happening." the Digimon said as he put his hand on the Tamer's shoulder as said Tamer looked at him, "Really?!" Yuki asked as he wipe his tears off, "Yes and I'm sure we can find-" Kotemon stop as he sensed something, "Kotemon what's is it?" the Tamer asked as before Yuki was wiping his tears off Phelesmon started his attack, "Black Statue!" he shouted as a beam of light shoot from his trident towards the two, the Rookie saw the beam and turned to his Tamer "Look out Yuki!" Kotemon shouted as he pushed his Tamer out of the way, "Wait, that was a Digimon attack that almost got us!" Yuki exclaimed with a shocked face. "Rats almost got you two next time I won't miss." Phelesmon said as the two Titans turned to the Fallen Angel Digimon who landed, "What the? A Digimon here what's going on?" Yuki asked as Phelesmon smirked, "Well I was sent by my Lord to eliminate the both of you Kotemon and Yuki Hata." Fallen Angel Digimon exclaimed as both Yuki and Kotemon eyes grew big when the evil Ultimate knew their names, "Wait how do you know our names? Who are you? And Lord?" the Rookie asked as Yuki pointed his D-Arc at Phelesmon, "That's Phelesmon, an Ultimate Level, Virus Digimon. His Black Statue will turn his foes into black stone statues." Yuki read the analysis, "Well if he's an Ultimate well let's make it fair." Kotemon said as he turned to Yuki who take out the Matrix Digivolution card. "Ha I like to see you two try!" Phelesmon said as he took off his cloak revealing what he looks underneath, He looked like a black and red man dressed like an aristocrat with bat-like wings on his back, a red tail, and horns growing out of his forehead with him still holding his trident in his right hand.

"Let's do it!" Yuki said.

*Cue DigiModify! Blank track*

With that said Yuki whirls the Matrix Digivolution card around catching it in his hand he then swipes the card through the D-Arc. "Digi-Modify..." as he shouted letting the data of the card run through it, "...Matrix Digivoltion!"

*Cue Digimon Tamers~Digivolution Theme (US)*

The words MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION appeared on Yuki's D-Arc and it begins the Digivoultion process with Kotemon shouting "Kotemon... Digivolve to.. Asura-huh?!" Kotemon says failing to become his Ultimate form.

As Kotemon got a confused look as he stares himself down "Hey what happen why didn't you Digivole?" Yuki asked as Phelesmon laughs, "Foolish child ever wonder how your partner Digivoled in the first place?" The Fallen Angel asked, this hit Yuki hard as he never knew how Kotemon Digivoled at all. The sound on his and Kotemon's T-Communicator beeping caught the Tamer's attention as he took it out and stared at it with a determined look. "Kotemon it's time to get back to our time." Yuki said as the Rookie nodded which gave the Fallen Angel an angry look "Oh no you don't, the both of you are staying right here!"

Then Yuki and Kotemon nodded at each other and tuned to The Fallen Angel, "You're right and- Look, a distraction!" Yuki shouted as he points behind Phelesmon confusing him as he turns around, "What I don't see-" The Fallen Angel turns back around but shock to see Yuki and Kotemon gone.

"Gah! I can't believe I fell for that!" Phelesmon said as he faceplams when he heard a familiar laughing behind him. "Now isn't that a sight to behold, the great Phelesmon tricked by a human child. Wait till our Lord hears about this." LadyDevimon says with amusement clear on her face as she landed. Phelesmon then turned to the female Fallen Angel Digimon with a angry face, "Laugh while you can, LadyDevimon, because that brat won't escape again then I will have the last laugh." he said. "Yeah right, that human child has outsmarted other Digimon you'll fail our Lord." She retorted, "We shall see about that, I know where they're going." Phelesmon said as he flew off.

Metro Arts Technologies

Inside the formally Metro Arts Technologies, a somewhat older Warp came in with the piece that Starfire broke, "Darn that girl trying to stop me but I didn't see those two with her, I wonder if they landed in a different time?" he asked, "That would be a no!" Phelesmon's voice said as he landed in front of the time traveler, "What the who are you? And are you sure?" Warp asked, "Just a Digimon doing what his Lord asked him to do. And yes they're here, but not for long." The Fallen Angel said socking the time traveler, "What? But one cannot damage history, because history cannot be changed." He exclaimed, "Yes but my Lord has done that many times." Phelesmon said socking Warp, "But. You can't do that, if you do then-" the time traveler said sacredly as Phelesmon sticks his trident to Warp's chin "You stay out of my way, I'm gonna be the one to destroy that brat and his digi-pet!" The Fallen Angel threaten him as the time traveler nodded nervously "Good I'll be in the shadows while you do your thing." He said as he went in to the shadows as Warp began to fix the piece.

When Yuki and Kotemon got to run-down museum, they saw Starfire and a adult they didn't recognized; he wore a skintight black uniform, with a large angular design of a blue hawk on his chest, black gloves, a matching eye mask that angled down to cover his nose, and long black hair that went past his shoulders. Starfire turned to them, "Yuki, Kotemon." she said as she come over to them. "Nice to see you Starfire, Um who's your friend?" Kotemon asked as the man come over to the three, "Yuki, Kotemon! It's good to see you again." he said with a unmistakable voice surprising Yuki and Kotemon, "Robin?" The Tamer asked "I haven't used that name in a long time. Call me Nightwing."

After telling what happen on both sides with Robin/Nightwing and Starfire surprised that a Digimon is targeting Yuki and Kotemon they go inside to confront Wrap.

Inside, a familiar time traveling villain made use of a welding torch to place a strange lens back in place. Warp is delighted in the idea of soon returning to his own time.

"Tick-tock. Tick-tock." He smiled as he continued welding the regulator to his chest. "Just a few more seconds, and I shall finally-Ack!" He cried when a short staff struck the tool from his hand. Looking to the source of the attack, Warp saw the short staff return to the black and blue hero, who was crouched on a balcony railing with the Tamaranian floating next to him, starbolts ready in each hand.

"The future will have to wait." Robin/Nightwing as he extended the staff, "You just ran out of time."

With a frustrated growl, the villain brought up his shoulder lasers and fired off a few rounds that sent the two heroes diving away. The older masked hero scaled a handful of explosive discs at him while Starfire unloaded a blast from her hand. Again, these caused no damage as Warp brought up a force field to stop their onslaught.

The four two came down to ground level as he dropped the barrier while the smoke cleared. He then released a salvo from both barrels as they rushed him. The auburn-haired Titan fired off a shot at the man, but was deflected back toward her. Realizing this happened the first time they fought, the girl flew out of the way and dodged the ricochet.

Meanwhile, Robin/Nightwing charged through Warp's laser blasts and leapt into the air to attack the time-jumping thief. Coming down, the end of his staff shattered one of the two blasters before he leapt away and landed behind his target. Turning around to attack the former Titan, the villain was bowled over by an unsuspecting starbolt. After standing up, Warp fired more lasers from his remaining blaster, but they were batted away by the metal staff. He then found himself on the defensive again as the masked man brought his staff in for more swings, forcing him to back up as he blocked each strike.

Robin/Nightwing fought like a bojutsu master on speed, his staff appearing everywhere almost at once. One final roundhouse found its mark and sent Warp to the ground. Both heroes stepped up to him, but the criminal just grinned and adjusted the aim of his working laser. A shot went straight up to the roof and blew a hole through it, dumping in a pile of snow and rubble that buried the orange alien.

"Star!" Robin/Nightwing, Yuki, and Kotemon shouted before getting blasted away by the master of time.

After finding himself in a safe position, Warp ran across the gallery and picked up the welding torch that was knocked out of his hand. But before he could do any more repair work, a mighty blue, white-ringed blast connected squarely with his chest and sent him crashing behind some cabinets.

After digging up his buried teammate, Robin/Nightwing, Yuki, Kotemon, and Starfire looked confusedly back toward the source of the blast, only to see the bionic man himself, on the scene and free of the wiring that had held him in place. They also noticed his circuitry glowing blue with life again.

"Boo-yah." Cyborg said as he lowered his cannon.

"Cyborg!" The happy Tamaranian cheered as she flew over to him, "You are repaired!"

"Glad you could make it." The black-haired hero smiled as he placed his right hand on his old friends' shoulder.

"Wouldn't have missed it. Now who said y'all could start without me?" The rejuvenated African asked.

Enraged at the constant setbacks, Warp stepped up to the quintet, "So sorry." He said as he held a timer device like the one that drained the bionic mans' power cell in the past, "Perhaps I should finish you first!"

Before he could do anything, a green lion charged in and raked its' claws along the gold armor that sent sparks up from it then lion then transformed back into human form, revealing a much older Beast Boy-bald on top, having gained a great deal of weight.

"No way!" The green man said as he turned to Yuki and Kotemon, "It's you two. But how?" As he spoke as the two Titans were surprised at his looks, "Wow Beast Boy." Kotemon started, "You're bald." Yuki finished, "Yeah I know." Beast Boy said. Warp then lifted his arm and brought the blaster up from his wrist, ready to fire. But to his surprise, black magic surrounded itself over his hand, then his whole body, and flung him to the far wall.

The six heroes looked the way the villain flew, completely at a loss, and saw a black energy materialize from the floor. It rose high into the air in the form of a black bird that swirled and became Raven now wearing a white cloak when she fought Trigon in her mind. "Nobody hurts my friends." Raven stated as she floated to join the other six.

As she touched the ground, Beast Boy then looked up at Robin/Nightwing's full head of hair, and rubbed his own bald scalp enviously. "Dude, that is so unfair."

After picking himself off the ground, Warp activated the regulator and opened a wormhole, ready to return to his time. "It seems my time has come." he said, but when he was about to enter. Robin/Nightwing not given him a chance, threw an object at Warp while the thief countered with one of his own. However, Nightwing's birdarang cleanly cuts through Warp's projectile and slams into the regulator causing it to malfunction.

"Huh?! No! NOOO! NOOOO!" Warp said as he quickly started shrinking into his own suit. With each scream, his voice went from deep to really high. The suit finally crumbles to the floor as the sparks stop. Beast Boy walks up to the armor and moves the breastplate away revealing Warp, now a crying baby. "Okay. I am not changing any diapers."

After finally registering what happened to Warp, Cyborg said as he grabbed the regulator and fit it into the muzzle of his cannon. "We gotta get you guys home,"

But before Cyborg could aim at the wormhole a familiar voice called out, "You seven are not going anywhere!" Phelesmon shouted as he flew in front of them aiming his trident at them "You seven will be perfect exhibits for a place like this." The Fallen Angel said.

Then Yuki got an idea, "Okay give us you're best shot!" the Tamer said as he took out his D-Arc and the Piedmon card.

"Okay I will. Black Statue!" he shouted as a beam of light shoot from his trident towards them.

*Cue DigiModify! Blank track*

With that said Yuki whirls the Piedmon card around catching it in his hand he then swipes the card through the D-Arc "Digi-Modify..." as he shouted letting the data of the card run through it, "...Piedmon's Clown Trick Activate!"

Kotemon lifted his hands up and stated charging up malicious energy. "Clown Trick!" The blast of malicious energy slammed into 'Black Statue' reflecting it right back to the Fallen Angel Digimon and thinks it didn't fazed him "You think that would work on me-huh?" Phelesmon asked as he tried to move but didn't as he looked down at his feet and saw that they were turning into stone shocked at that, he looked the Titans "No I can't except this!" he exclaimed as it started to spread fast, "NNNOOOO! My Lord I've failed you!" the Fallen Angel cried as his whole body was turned to a black stone statue. Yuki then look at his and Kotemon's stoned foe, "Well look at that, I'm a artist." Watching from above LadyDevimon saw the whole thing "Welp he failed I saw that coming I've got to report to our Lord that he's screwed." She said as she flew off to report to her Lord.

With the other Major threat taken care of Cyborg fired a sustained blast at the wormhole and forced it back to its original size. "I'm redirecting the wormhole. Yuki, Kotemon, Starfire, go!"

Yuki, Kotemon, and Starfire slowly walked up to the portal about to walk in when they looked down in thought in question stepped uneasily toward it, but stopped and looked back pleadingly at their former friends. "Please, must this really be our future?" She did not receive an answer. "Is there nothing we can do to change it?"

Robin/Nightwing stepped up to the desperate girl. "I'm sorry, guys. There isn't time." He said as he took her hand and placed the Clock of Eternity in it. Starfire looked at the piece of technology but soon faced her friend again when he placed a hand on her shoulder. She gave him a tender smile while tears began forming in her eyes. He took a few steps back to join the rest of the old crew and watched as the three Titans stepped into the black gateway.

Unknown Location

At the same Unknown Location the unknown Lord sat down on his throne when LadyDevimon flew in, "My Lord Phelesmon has-" the female Fallen Angel started to say before the Lord stoped her, "Failed I know I've already know of Zanbamon's partner is smart since in one of my previous Digivolutions, I've saw Zanbamon defeating me in my current form so not to worry." He said as he went to a balcony looked at the ruins of Tokyo, "In another timeline Zanbamon, you and your partner will meet me face-to-face!" He said as he laugh evilly.

Metro Arts Technologies-Twenty Years Earlier

Twenty years earlier, the team was fighting with Warp. After successfully defeating his foes, the time traveler was about to escape through the wormhole with the Clock.

"Ta-ta, Titans." He said as he faced the team, "I have enjoyed our time together, but I've got a very bright future ahead of me." He turned to make his exit, but before he could clear out, Starfire flew straight toward him. "What?" The thief looked back just in time to see the redhead plow right into him with Yuki and Kotemon managed to grab onto each of her boots as they both flew into the portal, all the while tackling Warp in as well into the portal, which suddenly disappeared when they were gone-an instant before Robin hurled himself toward it in an attempt to follow.

"Guys!" The masked leader cried after landing on the floor.

"Um, where did they-" Beast Boy began but was cut off as a second wormhole opened behind him, and Cyborg. To their surprise, Starfire, Yuki, and Kotemon rolled out and landed in a huddled kneeling position, with the former cradling the Clock.

They looked up to see the Titans as they originally were leaned in, completely mystified. "Dude!"

"Whoa!"

"Guys! What happened?" Robin asked as the wormhole closed behind the thrree.

"History said it disappeared," The Tamaranian said as she straightened up and held out the Clock, "But history was wrong!"

"And just had a huge lesson on history," Kotemon added as the Titans looked on in confusion and shock.

Titans Tower

After returning the Clock back to its rightful place. The Titans returned to their home where they were treated to an incredible story from their friends.

"Then Nightwing handed me the Clock and we entered the vortex." Starfire finished. The other four Titans stared in complete bewilderment after hearing about the depressing future the three visited. Among the team, Beast Boy's cheeks were streaked with tears as a long silence filled the room.

"Whoa." Raven muttered, finally breaking the silence.

"Bald?!" The changeling cried in shock, "You're telling me I'm going to be bald?!" He whined as he tore out most of his hair, making him resemble his future self.

"Guess you were right about all that Rekmas stuff." Cyborg sighed; realizing his fear of becoming obsolete had come true.

"I don't want us to drift apart." Robin said sadly, "Does it all have to happen? Isn't there anything we can-"

"Our friendship has already changed Warp's past." The auburn-haired Titan reassured him, "I believe it can also change our future."

One by one, the loose bells from the string that broke under Cyborg's weight floated up in the mages' influence. "So, is it too late to do this festival-of-friendship thing?" She asked as the bells reassembled themselves.

"Oh, it's never too late!" Starfire cheered ecstatically, her eyes widening with happiness while an ear-to-ear grin spread across her face.

Raven levitated some tinnabulas down around Beast Boy's, Cyborg's, Kotemon's, and her own neck. "HAPPY BLORTHOG!" The hulking bionic shouted in the mage's ear, causing her bells to jingle. Kotemon stood next to the cloaked Titan and blew a party blower in celebration.

"I thought it was 'Blort-hog.'" The green teen said, his hairline having fixed itself.

"Okay, I feel like a wind chime." The sorceress complained.

Near the window, Starfire put a tinnabula around her masked friends' neck. After looking at it, he lifted his head and smiled, "So… Nightwing, huh?"

Then Beast Boy looked around the room "Hey where's Yuki?" He asked, "Said something about going to Raven's room." Kotemon said making said mage go to him.

Yuki stood in front of Raven's room 'Man I'm scared if Raven will be mad at me but I must know.' the Tamer thought "Well I guess that things will be untold." He finally said until, "What are you doing?" Raven's voice suddenly asked from behind him. Surprised by the words he turned around and saw her, "Oh Raven there you are there's something I need to ask you." Yuki said as the mage cocked an eyebrow at him, "Do you have something in your room that have info about a group called The Demon Lords?" the Tamer asked, "I don't know what that group is but there's a book that have info similar to it in my room." Raven said as she went into her room and came out with a book titled The Big Book of Classification of Demons and handed him the book, "This will tell you everything that needs to know about demons enjoy." she said as she goes to continue to celebrate Blorthog as the Tamer stares at the book Raven gave to him.
