The first part of my entry for round 4.

Round 4 part 1
“Dark Pulse,” Lowellmon shouted sending a barrage of dark energy at his opponent, Betamon. Who stood his ground and reacted with his own attack ‘Bog Blaster’. Lowellmon dodged the attacks and continued with his. And as Lowellmon was fighting against Betamon, Agumon had his claws full with dealing with the speedy Chuumon. “What’s the matter, Lizard Breath! Too fast for ya!” Chuumon taunted as let threw a bunch of cheeses with lit fuses at Agumon.
“Just keep talking, RatFace,” Agumon retorted as he knocked a few of the bombs away with his claws, “Cause when I catch ya! I’m gonna rip that smug mouth off that ugly mug you call a face.”
“Agumon, Remember! We agreed to do this on the terms you wouldn’t go too far,” Hiro stated as he and Dan were watching from the sidelines.
“Yeah, Yeah! Way to ruin my fun,” Agumon moaned striking at Chuumon with his claws only to miss.
Hiro sighed as he watched his and Dan’s Digimon go at it, “Hey, Dan! I want to thank you again for agreeing to have Betamon and Chuumon spar with Lowellmon and Agumon. Gaiomon wouldn’t give up on the idea when I told him about you guys.”
“Hey, no problem, speaking of which it seems that those two have gotten stronger from the last time we fought,” Dan said.
“Yeah, they’re really getting there,” Hiro said as he watched the fight “And yours just continue to get stronger. By the way where are the others in your army and that kid… Um Thrift, right?”
“They’re taking a look around Uplink City,” Dan replied “We never really had a chance to really look around what with all the things going on with the tournament. Though I still find it weird that they didn’t set anything up for the spectators of this round.”
“It’s probably nothing to worry about,” Hiro said “Maybe they got some big plans for the next round or something. All the better to get prepared and rested.”
“I suppose that’s true. Hey where’s the rest of your team?” Dan asked scanning the area.
“Oh… Sangloupmon decided to train Megadramon,” Hiro said as he pointed to Megadramon crashing into the ground for about the 10th time that day, as Sangloupmon jumped in front of him saying he should be able to dodge a few thousand blades of his ‘Sticker Blades’ attack. “And Gaiomon is stuck in here with the volume muted.” Hiro said as he took out his X-ross Loader. Dan just stared with a confused look on his face. “He was running us ragged with all the training he had us going through. I was finally able to convince him to rest in the Loader on the terms we sparred with another army. And honestly you guys are one of the few armies here that I feel I can trust.”
“Wow, really!”
“Well, what I mean is that you’re one of the few here who isn’t either Battle Crazy, A Psychopath, or have some hidden objective,” Hiro said “Besides there’s something I want to confirm with you.”

As the two armies went about their business the hooded figure and the cat digimon that have been tailing Hiro’s army from the shadows continue to watch. “Ugh, just when we finally had the chance to take your key that guy just had to show up, nyan.”
“No, he is not yet ready,” the hooded figure sighed as they watched “He may have awoken his senses but he has only scratched the surface of his powers. We need something more to push him over the edge. Something to make him subconsciously awaken his powers.”
“Then maybe… Wild Armanent” the cat digimon started digging in the small bag it carried, pulling out a Sniper Rifle. “We should give him that gentle little push he needs.” The cat digimon said lining the sights of the rifle on Lowellmon.
“No,” the hooded figure said placing a hand in front of the rifle’s scope. “I don’t think we will need to get involved today.”

“You’ve been having headaches?” Dan asked.
“Yeah, ever since the third round, I’ve been having these weird headaches,” Hiro said rubbing his head “I haven’t told the others cause I don’t want to worry them. I figure I’d ask you, since you’ve been in the digital world for longer than I have you may know what’s going on.”
“Hmm… I’m not sure,” Dan said as he folded his arms in thought “Are you sure it’s not nothing? Maybe it’s just nerves or… Hiro? What’s wrong?” Hiro had his hand placed on his head his eyes closed in pain.
“Argh, My head… There’s… There’s something here!” Hiro said as he slowly opened his eyes. “ABOVE US!!” Hiro shouted as he quickly turned his head to the clouds to find a Digimon hovering above them.
