"Sh-shut up," said the blue ball, his squeaky voice a delight of the others' ears.

"Interesting," said Kyubimon. "It seems he digivolved down one level more than what's normal. Perhaps a side-effect of using the Ki'i?"

“I don’t know.. it’s mysterious.” Al said as he pulled an orange slice from his digivice, offering it to Pagumon.

“But I think we should get out of here.. the police are down there. I just hope Malie hasn’t had as eventful of a day as we have..”

Pagumon made no effort to hide wanting Al's orange slice, but as he scarfed it down, Ike looked up at the lightning overhead.

"Uh, guys?" he said. "Is it just me, or is that lightning bolt going backwards?"

Everyone looked up, and to their surprise Ike was right. Inch by inch, the bolt was undoing itself. Alemana then heard a familiar sound, his mind flashing back to the heiau ruins as he realized what was going on. Time was moving backwards. Before he could get in a word, he felt his body moving in reverse, all save for his head and neck as he "climbed" back on Kyubimon. Both he and the fox then watched as a similar force pulled Ike and Pagumon into sitting behind Al as the great fox began motioning to run forwards - only to speed in the opposite direction. With every heartbeat, the tempo at which time undid itself quickened, everything becoming a blur of motion, color and shifting shapes. It all ended in a crack of thunder as sheets of rain blasted Alemana's face. They were no longer atop the damaged building-to-be, but leaping towards another one. Looking over his shoulder alongside Ike, he saw the scaffolded worksite, as well as police lights blinking far below them.

"WHAT THE FU--!!"

Ike nearly fell off Kyubimon with Pagumon in his arms as the great fox landed on a nearby rooftop.

“What? Backwards?” And just as he looked up to see what Ike was talking about.. his body was caught in the strange .. rewind? He gave a small shout of alarm as they rocketed off backwards.. and when they leaped and landed on the other building, he almost fell off Kyubimon’s back as well. “Holy crap! What the heck is happening ? You know what, not gonna question it..  if you have any control, please get us outta here Kyubimon!”

"Hold on tight," warned the great fox.

And so the group raced off into the storm, leaping from roof to roof towards Gotsumon's place, soaked to the bone after bearing witness to a miracle. What they left behind was a scene of destruction and chaos, as lightning struck the pinnacle of the future building. Yet even through the rain, three souls watched as the group sped away. One was a noble warrior, whose belt-like tail flapped in the wind high above the streets. Another was a mercenary, a living camera unseen by most. The last, however, was a gentleman, who saw a debt to be paid, and profit to be won.
