They couldn't be serious! Could they? They just suddenly call all of them in, tell them what's going on, then take off and expect them all to get along without any problems what so ever. Takuya Kanbara could already see all the suspecious and distrustful looks flying around. Heck, he even saw a few people shifting nervously. This was quickly frying his nerves and making him really twitchy.

He shared a look with the other Warriors. They were all in agreement with each other. Get the heck out of there before the fists started flying. So with a nod they suddenly bolted for the door. As they ran, they pulled their D-Tectors out and fractal codes burst into life on their hands.

"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" They called out as they scanned the fractal codes with their D-Tectors, starting off their evolutions. No one could really see what was happening until after the light from the process faded.

"Agunimon!" Takuya yelled as the process ended for him with a burst of fire.

"Lobomon!" Koji shouted as his evolution ended with a flash of light.

"Loweemon!" Koichi said calmly as the shadows around him faded away.

"Kumamon!" Ice and snow exploded into life just as Tommy shouted excitedly with a laugh.

"Kazemon!" Zoe called out with a smirk as the wind whipped around her for a few seconds.

"Beetlemon!" No one knew if it was the sound of thunder or the sight of lightning that had them all ducking their heads when JP's evolution ended.

The startled shouts that they caused with their actions caused Takuya to pause just inside the door. He glance back with a grimace at the others. He wasn't going to try explaining exactly what they had just done. He just didn't feel like sticking around any longer than he absolutely had to and even then that was a few seconds too long.

"Sorry, we don't feel like dealing with anything right now. We just came from dealing with Lucemon and we need a break before getting into anything else, especially with other Chosen. See ya!" He explained before turning back around and chasing after the other Warriors, his duty as team leader completed.

The next group who felt the need to leave the room before something happened were the Tamers. Problem was, they weren't sure if they should leave or not. It could be seen as siding with the Warriors about the situation. But, they could see one of the DATS members quickly getting ready to do something. It made the four of them nervously finger their D-Powers. Their decision was made when Takato pulled rank and silently told the others to get ready to go at his signal.

"I know you're probably going to see this as siding with the Warriors and what not, but we're still trying to readjust to being Tamers again as we just got our partners back. Plus, we really don't want to get into anything with potential allies either. So we're going to be taking off as well. " Takato explained as he brought his D-Power out and pressed it to his chest. As he finished speaking Rika, Henry and Ryo pulled out their D-Powers and brought them up to their chests as well.

Everyone blinked as the D-Powers started to glow, getting brighter and brighter as the seconds ticked by. When the light got as bright as it appeared that it was going to and still nothing happened, they started wondering what the Tamers were up to. They're curiosity only grew when they noticed the small, happy smiles on their faces. They didn't have to wait for more than a few seconds longer before the answer to their silent question was given.

"Bio-merge Activate!" The four of them called out, starting to glow just as brightly as their D-Powers had.

"Guilmon Bio-merge too...." They watched as the light that engulfed Takato and Guilmon turned yellow and grew in size until it stood a good two and a half stories high. The light suddenly disappeared as the Bio-merge process for them finished and in their place stood a proud Royal Knight clad in white armor with accents of red and gold. A red cape fluttered around them with each movement.
