Summary of past events: Just as Hasan and Gomamon arrive at the
################################
A while later, at BlackWarGreymon's mansion...
"Nice to meet you all," Soni said. The whole group was at the living room to meet this new guy from the real world. They were just as thrilled as he was.
"Glad to meet you too, Soni. It's amazing how you ended up here with us," Hasan said.
"You know each other?" Renamon wondered.
"Not personally. It's like when we all met each other the first time. Soni here is a lemon writer himself," Chris explained.
"In addition to running a Digimon hentai site," followed Ben.
"What's a... Hentai?" Terriermon asked.
"Oh, hentai is... a thing with adult sexual thingies," Soni answered him.
"Ah! Like lemons!" Gomamon said.
"Yep, you got it Goma." Hasan smiled at him.
"So you're like a master of Digimon hentai, right?" Angewomon asked.
"Not really, I just organize things there in the website. Something anyone could do," Soni said.
"But not as well as you, Soni!" Lillymon giggled.
"Heh, maybe. Anyway, let's get serious, okay? I didn't come here by accident. I was sent here to find you," Soni then told them.
"What do you mean?" Chris said.
"Let me explain. When I first arrived here in
the Digital World and met Lillymon, she led me to a near Digimon town like
this. I stayed there for a while, with a bunch of nice Digimon. The elder of
that town, a Jijimon, was a shaman. He predicted this and also told me to come
here to seek you guys and go to the temple at the top of the
"That mountain?" Hasan said in a surprise. It was that high mountain that Hasan, Chris and their partners once tried to climb when they first arrived at the Digital world.
"You know it?" Soni keenly asked.
"Yes, we tried to reach the top of it once, but we were attacked by Cerberemon who made us fall down to the river," Renamon answered.
"Damn, we were so close. You were right all along, Leomon," Chris told him.
"Oh, you're stalked too?" Lillymon said in wonder.
"You bet we are. This town has also been attacked by a bunch of evil Digimon," Ben said crossly.
"We were being chased by a horrible Machinedramon. There were times when we barely made it, and not thanks to that piece of metal crap," Soni said wearily.
"Dammit, what is it that they want from us? Why do they want us dead?" Hasan said in grief. It was apparent that there was a mysterious force plotting against them, but they hadn't the slightest idea who or what they're dealing with here. A few moments of silence passed, with no one being able to say anything.
"Boooy, that was a good nap!" BlackWarGreymon yawned, coming down from the stairs and entering the living room. "Oh, the whole gang's here. What's up? Hmm?" he said and saw the new visitors. "Whoa, newcomers. What did I miss?"
Soni was a bit stunned. "It's really is a BlackWarGreymon! And I thought it was just the mansion's name!"
"And a dreamy one too!" squealed Lillymon and rushed to meet him in person. "Hi, I'm Lillymon! I came from the Digimon town west of here. I heard about you and it's my outmost pleasure to meet you!" Lillymon said with teary eyes.
"Hey, slow down, girl. It's nice to have new faces here, especially cute girls like you," BlackWarGreymon replied to her with his charm.
"Oh, stop it!" Lillymon blushed. "Can I touch you, please?" she then asked him bluntly.
"Uhh, sure, go right ahead." BlackWarGreymon shrugged and stretched his hand for her to shake. Lillymon lifted her shivering hand to return the shake and just when she touched him, she let out a sharp squeal.
"Eeeek! Just as strong and rough as I imagined! You're absolutely perfect!"
"Err, thanks," BlackWarGreymon said tensely.
"Hey Soni, what's wrong with Lillymon?" Ben asked him.
"Heh, no worries. She gets overly excited fast," Soni answered with a chuckle.
"Sure seems like an energetic girl," Hasan remarked.
"Humph, annoying is more like it," Renamon snorted.
Hasan blinked at Renamon. "Huh? What did you say?"
"Nothing at all," she said, turning her face away.
BlackWarGreymon then looked at Chris, "Ah, there you are." Chris instantly panicked. "Good job on the armor, you made it sparkle like diamond. How about a little snack now? I'll be waiting at the library. Don't be late," BlackWarGreymon told him and waved with his hand as he went upstairs again. Everybody then stared at Chris.
"What was that all about?" Terriermon wondered.
"Yeah, what did he mean about his armor, Chris?" Ben asked.
"Uh, well you see..." stammered Chris.
"What is it?" Leomon said. This was a really awkward situation for Chris and didn't know how he'd get out if it now.
"Oh! Ha! That's Black! What a riot!" Hasan then began to suddenly laugh.
"What's so funny?" Gomamon asked.
"Black was just fooling around. He's as sad as everyone else about us leaving so soon and wanted Chris to cook something for him for the last time, since he really liked his stuff. He just wanted to lift up our spirit after seeing us so gloomy," Hasan explained in a convincing way, such that even Chris almost believed him.
"Aw, isn't he sweet?" Renamon said gently.
"Ah, I get it... I think," Ben uttered.
"Is that true, Chris?" Leomon asked his partner.
"Uhhh... I guess," he blandly replied.
"Okay then, let's all go cheer him up. He's done so much for us," Angewomon then suggested.
"That's a splendid idea!" Lillymon chirped.
"No!" Hasan then stunned them. "I mean... Chris and I will go to him with a snack like he wanted. You all stay here and carry on your discussion, we only have till tomorrow to decide what we'll do. Come on, Chris."
"Ri-Right behind you." They both went to the kitchen and left the others in a puzzled state.
'There's something fishy going on here. Hasan can't fool me,' Renamon thought. Leomon was thinking the same thing, as he didn't believe one word of what Hasan said.
"Weird group you got here. Nice, but weird," Soni said to Ben.
"And I like it!" Ben smiled.
#################################
At the kitchen...
"Oh man, that was close," Chris said in relief.
"I don't think we can hold on much longer. Either you work things out with Black or tell Leomon the whole thing. I don't want to keep lying to them," Hasan said.
"I know, I know. Geez, this is really getting outta hand."
"So what's it gonna be? Black or Leo?"
"OK! I decided! It's..."
"What are you two up to now!?"
"Gaahhh!!!" Renamon appeared beside them out of nowhere and scared the crap out of them.
"God! This is like the fifth time this happens to me!" Chris breathed out deeply.
"Can't you knock or something?!" Hasan gasped.
"What? This is the kitchen. I don't need to get your permission to get in the kitchen. And what is it that made you yelp like scared cats? You're hiding something from me and I wanna know what it is!" Renamon glared at them both sternly.
"I know nothing. Hasan will tell you all about it, right? I gotta split and do something important. Good luck." Chris excused himself and left in a hurry.
"Hey!" Hasan made an attempt to follow him but Renamon got hold of the back of his shirt.
"You're going nowhere till you spill it out."
"Oh brother..."
#########################
Chris went to the library to meet BlackWarGreymon and try to convince him to return to being good friends like they used to be. He got inside the library and saw BlackWarGreymon busy reading a lemon book. Chris moved closer to him and gathered his courage to speak with him.
"Um, Black?"
"Ah, Chris. That was quick. Brought the snacks?" BlackWarGreymon said; his eyes still focused on the book.
"Well, no. Actually, I..." Chris was trying to say before BlackWarGreymon closed the book and looked over at him strictly.
"No? NO? What do you mean no? Haven't I told you to bring me some snacks here!?" BlackWarGreymon yelled at him harshly.
"I know, but..."
"But what? You want to quit? No way that's ever gonna happen, unless I want it to. So, if you still want to keep you sorry ass unharmed, you better go back and do what I told you to do."
"But..."
"No buts! Pronto!" BlackWarGreymon harshly yelled at him. Chris dangled his head down and didn't say another word, walking out of the library quietly. He was now sure without a doubt that BlackWarGreymon hated him and that got him bad.
"Swell, really swell," Chris said in angst and headed down the kitchen to get some snacks for BlackWarGreymon.
################################
"Come on! Tell me!" Renamon insisted on Hasan.
"Cut it out, Renamon, there's nothing to tell you about," Hasan replied to her as they walked down the main hall.
"Oh no, I know you're hiding something from me. You're a bad liar."
"Stop nagging. Just drop it, ok? Even if there's something, which there isn't, I won't tell you," Hasan said, quite annoyed by her constant nagging.
"A-ha! So there's something! C'mon, tell me! I won't stop bugging you till you do."
"Oh boy... Alright, I'll tell you. But in return, I'll tell everybody that you have a crush on Leomon." Hasan grinned slyly.
"What!? No you WON'T!!!" Renamon snarled and made Hasan laugh.
"Ha, you're so easy. I was just fooling with you. Gosh, the way you're blushing right now, one would think you really do care about him," Hasan teased her.
"That's not true! Oh, I hate you when you do that!" Renamon blushed more and pulled Hasan into a choke hold.
"Hey, hey! Ok, ok, I give!" Hasan cried with a mix of laughter.
"Hey there." Ben and Soni met them in the way, along with Terriermon, Lillymon and Gomamon.
"Oh, Hi guys. S'up?" Hasan said.
"We were just going to bed. It's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow for our departure. I was showing Soni the way to the bedrooms," Ben answered.
"This house sure is big, I'd get lost if I wandered around alone," Soni casually said.
"I'm tired Soni," yawned Lillymon.
"Sure. Well, see you all tomorrow. I hope we'll get to know each other better later," Soni said.
"You can count on it." Hasan smiled. Ben and Terriermon then led Soni and Lillymon to their rooms. Gomamon walked up to Hasan and pulled the end of his pants a bit to get his attention. "Hm? What is it, Goma?"
"Can we go outside for a while?"
"What for?"
"I want to see the town... for the last time with you."
"Oh... fine by me. Coming, Renamon?"
"Okay, I don't mind." And the three of them went outside the mansion for a walk.
###########################
After Chris brought some food back to BlackWarGreymon, they went to BlackWarGreymon's room and Chris was made to clean it for him. Chris didn't complain and carried on his duty, hoping that it might make BlackWarGreymon forgive him in the end.
When Chris finished fixing up the room, BlackWarGreymon dismissed him and Chris complied. As he opened the door to get out, he saw Angewomon at the other side, as she was about to knock it.
"Angewomon?"
"Oh, Chris. What're you doing here?"
"Uhm, nothing important."
"I see. Leomon was looking for you. You better go to him; he gets really worried about you when you're not around," Angewomon told him with a sweet smile.
"Will do. Thanks." Chris smiled back and closed the door behind him as Angewomon entered BlackWarGreymon's room.
"What was Chris doing here?" she asked BlackWarGreymon.
"He was just helping me out on something."
"Is that so? Heh, I can see that you grew quite attached to them humans."
"Me? Are you kidding?" BlackWarGreymon frowned but then paused for a second. "Well, maybe you're right. Anyway, what brought you here?"
"Oh, I just wanted you to know something. I decided to travel with them," Angewomon informed him.
BlackWarGreymon was totally overtaken by that. "What? You mean... you'll leave?"
"Yes. I thought about it for a while and found it was the thing I really want to do. Besides, I think they'll need my help. I just wanted you to know first."
"Heh, and why's that? We're not lovers anymore. You could do whatever you want without me having anything to say about it."
"I know. Still, I felt that I had to let you know. That's all I wanted to say. Goodnight." Angewomon told him and was heading for the door, before BlackWarGreymon asked her.
"Tell me first, is it because of Leomon?"
Angewomon didn't turn around and kept silent. "It's like you said, we're not lovers anymore. So I don't have to answer you," she replied and exited his bedroom. This was the second time BlackWarGreymon felt jealous of Leomon, and that made him decide something about his outcome.
###############################
At Ben's room, Terriermon was listening to one of Ben's stories about his home and his life in the real world. He was very thrilled and pumped up to the journey tomorrow, yet he was concerned that maybe after that, he wouldn't see Ben again and he didn't want that to happen. His face suddenly became gloomy when he realized that.
"What the matter, Terriermon? Why so murky?" Ben asked when he saw his sad expression.
"Oh! Hehe, I'm ok. What could be wrong?" Terriermon pretended to laugh and hide his sadness.
"That's what I'm asking."
"Huh? There's nothing wrong with me."
"Shyeah Right! You look like you're going to a funeral and you want me to believe there's nothing wrong."
"Heh, you've noticed, huh?" Terriermon let out his tongue shyly.
"Like duh, I'm not blind. So?" Ben said as he sat on the bed, ready to listen to his partner.
Terriermon sat next to him. "It's just... when this is all over, things will return to the way they used to be before I met you."
"Ah," Ben simply uttered. He had never thought about it before. He'd got so used to being with Terriermon that he didn't think about how things would be without him, when he got back to the real world. Neither of them knew what to say after that, keeping silent for some moments. Ben then smiled and poked Terriermon in the head.
"Ouch! What did you do that for?" whined Terriermon.
"For being silly. That doesn't matter now. Let's worry about it when the time comes. As for now, let's just be the same as long as we can and have fun while we're at it."
"Yeah! You're right! We're together now and that's what counts," Terriermon said in joy and hopped on top of Ben's head. "Thanks Ben, you're the best."
"You're the best too." They both laughed together and continued their nice chat.
###########################
Meanwhile, outside at the town square, while Hasan was walking slowly with Renamon and Gomamon, he suddenly stopped and looked back at them both.
"It sure is strange," he said.
"What is?" Renamon asked.
"I don't remember how long I've been here exactly. Five, six days, maybe a week. I was just living a very normal life before that. Going to work and being with my family. I wasn't that satisfied, but I was happy. I didn't ever imagine I could end up here. But now I am..." Hasan trailed off, and sat down on a chair near a fountain.
Renamon stood in her place and asked, "And... you don't like it?"
"It's not that I don't like it, I'm glad that I got to meet you all, especially you two." Renamon smiled happily when he said that and sat beside him, as Gomamon pounced on his lap.
"I'm happy that I met you too," the small Digimon said and cuddled him.
Hasan patted him in the head. "Sure thing, buddy. But..."
"But what?" Renamon asked him again.
"I mean, I've been in this town for only a day and I feel like it's been more than that. Same with you two. It's like I've known you from a long time. So, when that time comes, when I'll leave..."
"Don't say it!" Renamon hushed him and hugged him tightly. "Just don't say it. I don't wanna hear it. We'll be fine, just fine," she whispered while she hugged him with a sad tone in her voice. Gomamon did the same thing and gave Hasan a warm hug, holding himself from crying. Hasan was extremely surprised by their reaction, but was pleased nonetheless. He hugged them both back and tried to comfort them.
"You guys, don't be like that. It's still too early for this. We still have lots of time, so let's give it our best and try not to think about it. Deal?"
"Deal!" Gomamon chirped.
Renamon wiped her small tear and smiled. "You bet. Oh, since this our last night here, how about we spend it in my house?"
"Hey, that's not a bad idea. I'd love that," Hasan accepted.
"Thanks Renamon, let's hurry up then. Do you have something to eat there? I'm hungry," Gomamon added eagerly.
"All the food that you could ever have," Renamon replied.
"Yay! What're we waiting for then?"
"Alright, you food-munching mon. Lead the way, Renamon," Hasan said and went with his two Digimon to Renamon's house; more confident about their friendship than ever before.
################################
At Soni's room...
"We're almost there, Lilly, and I couldn't have done it without you," Soni said to Lillymon, who was a bit tired and was sitting on the bed.
"Sure thing, Soni," she tiredly replied. Soni stood in front of her and then turned his back.
"I mean, look at us now. We're not alone anymore. When I first came here, I was all alone and didn't think for one second that I'll survive in this jungle. But then I met you and we've become partners, great partners. Heh, and then you welcomed me to your village. Darn, I miss our friends there. We went through a lot in those past few days and there were times when I thought we wouldn't make it, you know? But with you by my side, Lillymon... Lillymon?" Soni turned around while talking and saw that she was already fast asleep. Soni helped her lay on the bed better and covered her with the bed sheet.
"Sleep well, you deserve it," Soni said gently.
############################
Chris arrived at his bedroom, tired and exhausted. The only thing he had in mind now was to get a good night's sleep, but that plan changed when he saw Leomon waiting for him at the room's door, an unpleased look on his face.
"Hey Leomon. Goodnight Leomon," Chris said and tried to get past him. Leomon moved aside and let him enter, as Chris quickly laid on the bed.
"Why so worn-out?" Leomon asked in concern.
Chris sat up on the bed and did his best not to look so exhausted. "I'm not worn-out. I'm just sleepy..." he said and yawned a bit.
"Now hold on right there, don't try this 'nothing is wrong' crap with me. I've never bought it from the start. I can sense that there's something you're hiding from me and have to tell me eventually," Leomon demanded, crossing his arms.
"Aww, can't it wait till later? I'm beat," Chris whined and laid his back on the bed again.
Leomon let out a sigh, before he walked over to him and carried him up between his arms. Chris wondered what he wanted and was about to ask him, but Leomon beat him to it and answered: "Why don't we go for a little walk outside? Maybe that'll freshen up your head."
"Oh, alright." Chris nodded. They went outside and had a stroll around the town, Leomon still carrying Chris in his arms. Leomon wanted to have a nice talk with his partner, seeing as it had been a while since they'd last done that.
"Chris, you see that house over there?" Leomon pointed to a small house. Chris turned his gaze to it and nodded. "My house used to be at that spot, when I used to live here in this town," he continued.
"Really? That's neat. Were you living alone?" Chris asked.
"Yes. But it didn't bother me much," Leomon answered him, as they arrived at a park and sat together on a bench there. "What about you, Chris? Who do you live with? What do you normally do in your world?"
"Oh, me? I'm living with my family back in the real world, just a normal family. I'm also a college student, nothing very special," Chris said casually.
"That's pretty nice. I envy that in humans."
"Why?"
Leomon smiled a bit. "To have a family and a goal in life, that's something I sorely lack."
"Well, you know, it's not that hard. Oh wait, it's not that easy either. Uhm, it's hard to explain. Not all people are like that, something like you Digimon. If you think about it, we're not much different from you."
"I see. Regardless, I envy you."
"Yeah..." Chris said, still looking quite tired. Leomon saw that and was now determined to find out.
"Chris, are you hiding something from me?"
"Wh-why do you say that?"
"I can sense that. I sense that you're not honest with me."
Chris turned his face away. "Well... there isn't."
“You’re still aren’t honest with me. Why? Is it me? Have I done something wrong?” Leomon softly said and turned Chris to face him, resting his hands on his shoulders.
"No. It’s nothing like that. It's... I... I'm fine."
"Wrong, you’re not. Why are you hiding it from me? Aren't we partners? We should be honest and not keep secrets from each other, or is it that... you don't fully trust me?" Leomon said with concern in his eyes, gripping on Chris' shoulders harder.
"No way! It's not that! You know how I thoroughly trust you, even with my own life!" Chris quickly retorted.
"If that's truly the case, then there shouldn't be any problem with you telling me," Leomon said, settling down a bit. Chris thought about it for a while and realized that Leomon was right and he had no choice but to tell him, like Hasan had advised him.
"Okay Leomon, you win. I'm going to tell you the whole thing," Chris said at last.
"I'm listening."
And so, Chris began to explain the whole story, from how BlackWarGreymon discovered about the yaoi lemon to how he made him his own slave-like servant. A minute had passed from when Chris finished telling Leomon about the mess he got himself into, and Leomon was extremely shocked. All of this was happening and he hadn't had the slightest idea about it. And that was what made him even more furious and enraged, as he started to burn in anger.
"Leomon?!" Chris uttered in dread, seeing Leomon getting very raged with an audible growl coming out from deep within him.
"That filthy damn bastard... How? How dare he? After I befriended him, how could he do this? All this because of a stupid story?!" Leomon was growling softly, his hands shaking in rage.
He stood up on his feet, his eyes sparking with anger. "He's gone too far and I'll make him pay greatly for this!" Snarling, he immediately headed toward BlackWarGreymon's mansion to face him and take matters into his own hands.
"Wait! No Leomon! Please stop!" Chris yelled out helplessly for him but to no avail. Leomon was mad beyond belief; Chris hasn't seen him this angry before. He even looked more furious than when he was in his battles, and that frightened Chris a lot. He feared that he'd end up in a fight with BlackWarGreymon and that was the sole reason why he hadn't wanted him to find out.
"What are you going to do!?" yelled Chris worriedly.
Leomon stopped and looked over his shoulder at him. "I'm gonna end this ridiculous matter myself," he said and continued on his way. Chris ran to his side and tried to stop him, holding his big hand.
"But that's not the right solution! Will you please calm down?!" Chris said as Leomon was dragging him, while Chris was still clinging on his hand.
"Don't try to stop me. That arrogant fool has gone too far and someone has to show him his limit!" growled Leomon, still dragging Chris.
"Not like this! You might end up fighting him!"
"That's exactly what I intend to do."
"No Leomon! I don't want you to fight him! Someone will surely get hurt, and I fear it'll be you," Chris told him desperately. Chris’ feet staggered while trying to hold off Leomon and made him drop to the ground with a thud. Leomon didn’t turn back to him, he was so mad he didn’t notice him fall back.
“Don’t do it, Leomon!” Chris stood up on his feet again and called out for him, yet he didn’t reply and kept on walking to his way. “That does it!” Chris said and ran up in front of Leomon and stood in his way, spreading his arms.
“Get out of the way, Chris,” Leomon sternly told him.
“No! Please Stop! Don’t do it! For my sake,” Chris said with determined eyes. That stunned Leomon, but he finally calmed down as he sat down on one knee so that he could be level with him. He dusted off the dirt from Chris’ outfit and them wrapped one arm around him, hugging him gently.
"Alright, as you wish," Leomon softly expressed as he hugged him. Chris sighed in relief.
"Thanks."
"But, only this once. For now, I'm gonna let you handle this on your own, maybe for a day or two. And if he's still going to treat you the same, then I'm going to finish this, my way," Leomon then informed him, staring at him after breaking the embrace.
"Of course." Chris smiled.
"And if he'll even harm one hair of yours, I won't wait for a second to pulverize him!" Leomon told him and punched his fist into his own palm.
"Hehe, sure, whatever you want, Leomon," Chris coyly said. Even if BlackWarGreymon treated him badly, he was still sure that he wouldn't ever harm him.
"Let's go back now, please? I'm dead tired and would REALLY love to have a good sleep."
Leomon smiled and gave him a nod, standing up and walking side by side with Chris back to the mansion, with his hand rested on Chris' shoulder like the time they first met.
#############################
At that time, Angewomon was paying a visit to her dear friend Fairymon's house. She wanted to bid her farewell and have a good chat with her before she left tomorrow with her new human friends. Fairymon invited her to the kitchen and passed a glass of drink to her as they sat together on a round table.
"Thank you, but you needn't bother yourself, Fair," Angewomon said.
"What're you talking about? Don't be silly. Now tell me, why have you decided to go with them?"
"I just felt that I might be a big help to them. I have always wanted to help someone with my powers and this looks like a good chance to put my skills to good use. And I was planning to go on a journey anyway, so I guess this was my lucky day," Angewomon answered her and took a sip from her glass.
"Is that all?" Fairymon then sheepishly said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Aw, c'mon, it's so obvious that you're so into that guy. You know, Leomon. Is he the reason why you want to travel with them?"
Angewomon immediately blushed uncontrollably. "Well, sorta."
"I knew it! This is so cute! Tell me? Are you falling for him?" Fairymon chirped and moved her seat closer to Angewomon.
"I'm already in love with him. And... He also made love to me last night."
"GET OUTTA HERE! Wow, that fast?!" gasped Fairymon. "Detail, Detail! Don't spare me! How was he?"
"Oh Fairymon, he was beyond magnificent. Everything was so perfectly wonderful. He was rough, yet so gentle and caring. I couldn't help but surrender to him," Angewomon described him admirably.
"Aww. That's so sweet. Damn it, girl! You're so lucky. He's a catch indeed. And him? Does he share the same feeling?"
"That I'm not sure about. Yet, I have high hopes for it. That's one of the reasons why I want to travel with him, so I can be as close to him as I can. Maybe then I'll know for sure." Angewomon clutched her hands together and said.
"I see. Well, I wish you the best of luck. I'll pray for your safety and that you'll end up together." Fairymon said to her with a smile, reaching out to hold her hands.
Angewomon smiled back. "Thanks, Fair."
"But, what about Black?" Fairymon then suddenly brought him up.
"What about him?"
"What do you mean 'What about him'? Didn't you use to love him?"
"You said it Fairymon, used to. What was between us before is over now, or at least I think it is. Oh, I don't know. BlackWarGreymon is very hard to understand. You yourself have feelings for him too, right?"
"Yes. I know that he doesn't take me seriously and only considers me a friend. But, at least I'm satisfied with that. So, he's nothing to you now?"
Angewomon paused for a few moments before answering her, “I… don’t know. I mean, I still care for him. We had so many great times together. I was really deeply in love with him and I thought he felt the same for me too. But, he…”
“He didn’t?”
“Hell, I don’t know! That’s what's driving mad about him, I don’t know anything about what he feels or what he thinks. Sometimes, he acts so loving and caring, and other times I think he's just playing with me. That’s why we broke up and decided to be just friends. It’s just not meant to be. We’re not born to be together, even if either of us wanted it to be,” Angewomon expressed to her. “So, to answer your question, then yes. If he still thinks the same way about me, then it’s over. And besides, I believe he has his eyes on someone else now,” she then added.
"Huh? Who?"
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that that fox female has captured his heart."
"Renamon? Hasan's partner? How can that be? He barely knows her."
"I told you I'm not sure, but it's not so farfetched for our dear Black. You know him. Anyway, I don't want to think about him right now."
"Yep! Now you have another hunk to worry about."
"Oh Fairymon." They both giggled and spent the whole night talking about Angewomon's new love.
###################################
As for BlackWarGreymon, he was having a small flight break above his town, but his mind was concentrated on something else. He was thinking about all the events that had accrued during these past few days. How he met those humans and took them as good friends, to how he liked a new girl he barely knew and spent a night making love to her, to how he became attached to those humans he befriended, namely Chris.
He landed on top of a windmill and let out a long sigh, “What's happening to you, Black? This isn’t like you at all. Why would you care if those humans left or not?” he began to question himself. “But, Renamon... She’s going to leave to with no doubt, and I hate to part with her so soon. Dammit… you really are a dumb dreamer,” he thought while smiling a bit. He then remembered that Angewomon was also going to travel with them, and the fact that she was doing it because of Leomon bothered him somewhat. “Nah! Let her do what she wants, I don’t care. But, honestly, that Leomon sure is a lucky mon. He has a great partner too. Oh yeah, that kid still owes me. Heh, he must be relieved that he’s going to leave this place. Well, there’s only one way to solve all of this.” BlackWarGreymon grinned and jumped down all the way to earth. “It’s not easy to get rid of ol’ me. But am I that desperate? Aw, whom am I trying to kid? I need to do this,” he said to himself and went back to his mansion to get ready for tomorrow.
###########################
When morning finally came, the gang was preparing for the big journey back to the mountain to seek the truth behind the temple at the top of it. Hasan and his two Digimon went back to the mansion to meet up with the others. They met Soni and Lillymon in the main hall when they entered BlackWarGreymon’s house.
“Morning,” Hasan greeted them.
“Oh, hello Hasan,” Soni replied.
“Hi and good morning to you too,” Lillymon said cheerfully.
“Ready for the big journey?” Soni asked him.
“You betcha. We’re really pumped up, right?” Hasan answered him and looked at Renamon and Gomamon in turn.
“I’m always ready when you are,” Renamon said to him.
“Don’t forget about me! This time, if any monster attacks, I’m gonna kick his butt outta the Digital World!” Gomamon excitedly said.
“Oooh, enthusiastic! I like that in a Digimon!” giggled Lillymon and made Gomamon become all red.
“Careful there, Goma, or you’re going to make them wet themselves.” Hasan laughed as the other laughed with him. Ben and Terriermon then came down from the second floor, arguing over something.
“No, no, no, NO! I won’t have it!” Terriermon yelled out madly.
“Chill out, Terriermon. Man, it’s only one lemon. What harm could it cause?” Ben slyly said.
“Gah! I had enough of this crap! If you show it to them, I’m gonna disown you!” Terriermon then crossed his arms and frowned.
“Uhmm, Kay.” Ben smirked.
“WHAT!?” gasped Terriermon.
“Hey, why all the fuss?” Hasan wondered.
“Hehe, just teasing Terr a little. Told him I’ll show our friends Soni and Lillymon the lemon. Y’know, THAT lemon,” Ben explained.
“You’re still at it? Give him a break, will you?” Renamon scolded him.
“Yeah, like she said!” Terriermon followed.
“Aw, alright. I won’t show them the lemon that has you getting diapered and spanked.” Ben shrugged.
“BEN!!!”
“Oh, I know that one. The lemon where he’s being babied by Suzie, right? Heh, nice, did you find the lemon book?” Soni chuckled.
“Tell me about it, Soni!” Lillymon told him.
“Arrrrrrrrrrgggghhh!” Terriermon almost exploded and caused them all to back away from him.
“What the heck? Who’s screaming?” Chris joined them just then with Leomon.
“Errr, it’s nothing. What took you so long?” Hasan asked Chris.
“Ah, I was just packing up for the trip. You never know what we’ll need out there,” Chris answered him and showed him his bag.
“Good thinking,” Soni said.
“Thanks. Now that we’re all here, let’s say goodbye to this nice town and get a move on,” Chris then told them as they all agreed and went outside to the town. They soon found Angewomon and Fairymon waiting for them outside the mansion.
“Hiya all! What a wonderful day for a trip, eh?” Fairymon said cheerfully.
“Hello there girls, came to bid us farewell?” Terriermon said.
“That goes for me only. Angewomon here has something to tell you. Come on, tell them!” Fairymon pushed a shy Angewomon to speak.
“Uhm, well… I wanna ask you guys something…” Angewomon spoke coyly. The others were curious about what she had to say. “I… want to go with you, if you don’t mind,” she told them and received a stunned reaction from most of them.
“Huh?! Really?” Ben said in wonder.
“But why?” Chris asked her.
“I really want to help you guys in your quest and I know that I can. I always wanted to do that kinda stuff. So, please, will you accept me in your group?” Angewomon asked them and bowed a bit. The gang was quite surprised by her offer and didn’t exactly know what to say.
“Why not?” Hasan said after a few moment of silence.
“Hasan!?” Renamon gasped.
“I don’t see anything wrong with her coming with us. She is powerful, and her healing powers might come in handy,” Hasan stated.
“I agree. And besides, we can’t turn off a request from a pretty lady,” Soni said, smiling.
“I’d say. Welcome aboard, Angewomon!” Ben cheered.
“Hey, cool! I secretly wanted her to join us too. Does any of you Digimon have an objection?” Chris asked their Digimon partners.
“Not me, I’m A-ok with it!” Terriermon answered.
“Me too, I’m just glad to have another girl in the party.” Smiled Lillymon.
“Gosh, Angewomon, with us?” Gomamon simply blushed.
“What about you Renamon?” Hasan switched to her and asked.
“I don’t mind. Why would I, anyway?” she shrugged uncaringly.
“Hmm, ok. The only one left is Leomon, and it’s a no brainier.” Hasan smirked and winked at Gomamon as he winked back, before Renamon poked him with her elbow.
“Ouf! Ok, ok…” he whispered back to her. They all then looked at Leomon, awaiting his answer. He just smiled and raised his hand to her.
“It would be my outmost pleasure to have you with us,” Leomon remarked and charmed her with his gentle smile.
Angewomon was extremely happy and stepped forward to return to his shake, holding his big hands with both of hers. “Thank you, all of you,” she gratefully thanked them as he nodded back.
“Congratulations, Angie! I’m really happy for you.” Fairymon hugged her from the side. The whole gang was thrilled that Angewomon joined them and were really psyched up about it, gathering around her to welcome her.
“Isn’t this great? With her in our side, our journey will be less hazardous. Don’tcha think, Rena?” Hasan said to his partner.
“Humph, whatever. It’s not like she’ll make any difference.” Renamon frowned, crossing her arms and turning her face away. Hasan knew she would say something like that and couldn’t do anything but chuckle with a head shake.
“Hey, aren’t you forgetting someone?” they all then heard BlackWarGreymon’s voice speak from behind. They turned around and saw him standing tall, his arms crossed and tapping his foot on the ground, with a slick smile on his face.
“You weren’t thinking about leaving without me, were you?” he shocked them.
“You… want to come with us!?” Hasan stammered.
BlackWarGreymon let out a slight laughter and walked closer. “Ha, of course. What? Did you expect me to stay here and let you have all the fun? You need me and you know it.” The whole group was stunned senseless, as they just stared at him in amazement. “Whaaaaat?”
Most of them were astonished and thrilled, but some were a bit unsure. Does he really care about them so much that he’d leave his hometown to travel with them?
“Are… are you sure?” Hasan questioned him suspiciously.
“Do you have any doubts? Do any of you have a problem with it? If so, even if it’s only one of you, then I’ll pass,” BlackWarGreymon seriously told them.
“I… I accept. I think it’s wonderful to… have someone like BlackWarGreymon with us,” Renamon shyly uttered. BlackWarGreymon’s face brightened in joy and smiled happily at her.
“I’m quite honored. Thank you, Renamon.” He bowed to her slightly as she nodded with a little blush on her cheeks.
“I think it’s great too. We’ll have no fear if BlackWarGreymon is with us!” Gomamon followed.
“I guess, but…” Hasan uttered and looked over at Chris.
“Anybody else has something to say?” BlackWarGreymon then asked.
“I do,” Leomon said and stepped forward.
“Leomon, don’t!” Chris gasped softly so that only Leomon could hear him. Leomon waved his hand to him to assure him not to worry. He faced BlackWarGreymon, as the two giants glared at each other.
“Yes?” BlackWarGreymon said.
“Tell me, what is the real reason for you to join us? Give me at least one good reason,” Leomon grimly told him.
“Hmm? Is that it? Alright, I’ll tell you. It’s your partner,” BlackWarGreymon simply answered him. Leomon’s eyes became sharp. If it weren’t for Chris being near, he’d love to punch him right now. But he resisted the urge to do so and kept his cool.
“What I'm trying to say is, after meeting your human partners, I realized how great it is to have one that you have to trust and protect with your life. That’s something I want to experience for myself, and the only way to do so is to tag along with you. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a partner of my own on the way,” BlackWarGreymon explained, being so surprisingly sincere about it that even Chris bought it.
“Is that good enough for you?” BlackWarGreymon added.
Leomon couldn’t find anything against him not to join them now, beside the fact that he treated Chris badly. But like he promised, he’d let him handle it himself for the time being and not interfere, so he finally accepted. “Yes,” Leomon just answered him with that and returned to Chris’s side. BlackWarGreymon was sensing that Leomon had started to dislike him, but he didn’t give it much thought and was pleased that he was welcomed into the team.
“My, what a big party! I just wish I could come along with you guys, but someone has to stay here and protect the town. You never know,” Fairymon said.
“Thanks, Fair, I’ll leave the town to your good hands. I trust that you’re more than up to it,” BlackWarGreymon encouraged her.
Fairymon jumped happily at him and gave him a nice goodbye kiss on his cheek. “Awww, I’m gonna miss you so much, Blacky!”
“Yeah, yeah, me too.” BlackWarGreymon scratched his head embarrassingly.
“Looks like you’ve got quite a competition there, Lillymon.” Soni smirked softly to his female partner.
“Hehe, at least she’s not going to be around for the ride.” She snickered back.
As for Renamon, she didn’t like idea of how all the females flittered her dear BlackWarGreymon and he didn’t seem to mind at all. She found it very irritating as she grabbed Hasan’s arm and started to walk away, dragging him with her.
“Whoa! Hey, what the…? Renamon!” Hasan yelped.
“C’mon, are we leaving or not? Stop wasting time and let’s get going already,” she sternly retorted and continued to pull him with her. The others looked at them with strange stares before they decided to follow them.
“Leomon, go ahead and beat at the gate, I want to talk to Black for a bit,” Chris then said to him. Leomon was skeptical, but didn’t refuse and asked him not to take too long as Chris assured him he wouldn't. He walked over to BlackWarGreymon who was behind them by a few feet and spoke to him shyly and timidly.
“Uhmm, great to have you with us, Black. I hope that… we’ll clear things between us.”
“Why, thank you. Oh, and by the way, if you thought that you’d got rid of me, then think again, twerp. I still haven’t forgotten about our little deal. You’re still my personal slave, got it?” BlackWarGreymon replied with a devious smile that made Chris gulp nervously as he placed his hands on Chris’ shoulder and pulled him closer to him friendly.
“Err, yeah, sure sir,” Chris said and sweat-dropped.
“Gooood,” BlackWarGreymon joyfully said and walked
with him glued to his side to the outside of the
############################
After saying goodbye to the town’s residents, the
party finally left the quiet
They were undeniably well-balanced, with Digimon of different classes and strengths. Maybe they were still not organized and cooperative enough, but they trusted and believed in each other. Even if there were some unevenness between some of them, they’d soon find out that understanding really makes a big difference, as the following events would reveal just that.
Within the wide green plains, the group was crossing through the lush greenery with high spirits. Each Digimon and partner was walking side by side, while the partner-less weren’t far behind. Angewomon got closer to BlackWarGreymon and started a conversation with him.
“That was very nice,” she began with a smile.
“Hm? What is?” He stared at her with a puzzled look.
“What you said back then, about why you wanted to travel with us. I didn’t know you had it in you.”
“Oh. Heh, well, I’m not that heartless,” he replied with a small grin on his face.
“Teehee, I know. You always were kindhearted despite your stubbornness.” She giggled.
“Hey! I’m not stubborn! Err, not all the time at least.” He blushed and made her laugh as he laughed with her too. The others noticed how those two were getting along nicely together.
“She really does get along with everyone fast,” Soni remarked.
“Who? Angewomon? Yeah, we know,” Ben said.
“I can see why. She’s pretty nice and lovely, anyone would fall for her,” Hasan said admirably. Renamon didn’t say anything about it and just ignored the subject. She thought that Angewomon was nothing more than a show-off.
“Ah, that’s natural, it’s not that strange. Those two were actually lovers for a good while. Very close boyfriend and girlfriend and stuff like that,” Terriermon then informed them, shocking them, Renamon and Leomon most of all.
“Oh really? I presumed that the first time I met her. Are they still lovers?” Chris asked.
“Nope, they broke up not too long ago. Most of us in the town thought that they would end up together as a couple, but it didn’t work out for some unknown reasons. Really sad. But they’re still dear friends, I believe,” Terriermon continued.
“I see. Well, that’ll better my chance with him!” Lillymon said sarcastically.
“Dream on, my flowery friend,” Soni teased her.
“Hey!” she frowned at him.
They had a good laugh and carried on their way while Angewomon and BlackWarGreymon were still engaged in their personal chat. BlackWarGreymon’s past with Angewomon bothered Renamon quite a bit. If they were such great lovers, why did they break up then? The possibility that BlackWarGreymon was toying with her started to hunt her again, and that brought her back to depression.
Leomon too was having similar thoughts. He didn’t want to think that Angewomon was just using him to forget her previous love and that the desperation of losing BlackWarGreymon led her to getting closer to him. But being a reasonable guy, he decided not to jump into conclusions and ask her about it later to clear things out between them.
Several hours later, after spanning some long miles, the party finally reached the deep green woods. Getting tired from the long trip, they agreed to take a break and to look for a nice place to rest.
“That looks like a good spot.” Angewomon pointed to an open area enclosed by tall trees.
“Looks like it. Let’s rest here,” Soni said. The whole group gathered around the spot to take a rest.
“Oh crap! My feet are killing me,” Lillymon whined.
“Then why didn’t you fly instead?” Ben asked her.
“My wings would be killing me then!” she retorted.
“Oh, right. Hehe.”
Hasan chuckled, before he found BlackWarGreymon standing right next to him all of the sudden.
“Sonofa…!?” he gasped in a start, getting a chuckle from BlackWarGreymon.
“Sorry kid, just want to borrow your pretty partner for a bit, if you, or she, don’t mind,” he politely said.
“Hm? Renamon? Uh, sure. If she wants to,” Hasan answered and looked over at her.
“Well, I…” she stammered.
“Great, I knew you would.” BlackWarGreymon smiled and held her paw to help her stand up. “Don’t you worry about a thing, she’ll be as good as new when we return.” He smiled and was about to go with her when he turned to Chris.
“Oh, Chris, will you bring some fruits later? I’m sure you’ll find plenty here, so it won’t be such a hard job. I’ll thank you later,” he told him before they both disappeared into the woods.
Leomon was getting furious again, but Chris asked him to calm down and assured that it was going to be all right. “Just be a bit more patient. Hold this for me, ok?” Chris gave him his backpack and went to find some fruits.
“What was that all about?” Soni wondered.
“Beats me. Hey Hasan, what’s the deal?” Ben turned to his friend and asked.
“Don’t look at me, I’m as clueless as you,” replied Hasan quickly.
Chris came back a few minutes later with some fruits he found on a nearby tree and shared them with his friends.
"Hey, this is really good. It looks like a mango, but sweeter," Ben remarked as he ate the fruit.
"Here you go, Leomon." Chris offered him some fruits. Leomon replied with a hand wave, meaning that he didn't want any. "Try one, come on," Chris insisted.
"Thanks, but I'm not into sweet stuff," Leomon replied.
"Huh? Why not?"
"Let me try." Angewomon took a fruit from him and took a bite. "My, it's really delicious! You should try it, Leomon," Angewomon chirped and tried to convince him, handing him the fruit she ate from.
"No, thank you," he apologized.
"Aww, is it because I took a bite from it?" she ragged him a bit.
"Well, no..."
"Then please take it."
Leomon sighed, "Fine," and took the fruit from her, eating it in one gulp.
"Good, huh?"
"Yeah... too sweet though." He squinted a bit.
"Heh, you're really good at convincing, Angewomon." Chris chuckled.
"Oh, I'm not that good. But I think he's just shy." Giggled Angewomon. Leomon turned his face away in embarrassment and made Chris laugh quietly at that.
"Is Leomon always this... dead silent?" Lillymon wondered.
"I guess he's not much of the talker type," Soni added.
"Basically, yeah. I haven't seen him laugh either, not even once," Hasan said.
"That would be a sight to see," Ben followed.
"Hey, how about we try to make him laugh?" Terriermon then told them.
"How's that?" Ben asked.
"We can tell him jokes. There must be a joke that will break through a brick wall like him."
"That's a nice idea. But who could do that?" Gomamon said.
"We can ask Chris to do it. He's his partner after all, and probably will be the best to tell him," Hasan stated. "Come here, Chris!" he then called out for him. Chris joined them as they informed him of their idea.
"Huh? Me? But..." Chris stammered.
"We just want to see him laugh for a change, and you're the only one here capable of that," Ben said to him.
"Yeah, it'll be fun. I'll help you out." Hasan patted on his shoulder.
"I can lend you a hand too," Soni said and joined them.
"Me too!" the three remaining Digimon said at the same time.
Chris was pumped up by the idea and agreed to do it, "OK! I'm in. But, what kind of jokes you think he'll like?"
"Leave that to me. Just follow my lead," Soni told him as they all nodded. They then went to where Leomon was sitting, with Angewomon beside him.
"Hey guys, how about a little game of 'Your momma'? Soni began.
"Your what?" Hasan uttered.
"'Your momma'. Don't know it?"
"I know it. And you can count me in," Chris said with a smile.
Soni winked. "Ok, I'll go first. Hmm, ah yes, here we go... Yo momma's so ugly when she joined an ugly contest; they said 'Sorry, no professionals.'" Soni said and received a loud yet suppressed laugh from Hasan.
"Pfft! Whoa, that's major," Hasan said in his laughter. Leomon's response was neutral as he just watched them quietly.
"Ok, my turn. Yo momma's so ugly they didn't give her a costume when she tried out for Star Wars," Chris joked and got Ben and Terriermon to explode in laughter.
"That's hilarious!" laughed Ben, but still nothing from Leomon.
"Alright, here's another one. Yo momma's so ugly her mom had to tie a steak around her neck to get the dogs to play with her," Soni told another joke, as Lillymon tears shed.
"Aahh! Stop it, Soni! You're killing me!" she cried. Angewomon was laughing too, unlike Leomon, who was still watching them blandly.
"Hey, hey, I got one! Yo momma's so fat, when she bends over we miss 2 days of sunlight!" Terriermon joked and pointed at Gomamon.
"Ha! Good one, Terr!" Ben laughed, as did the others, except for Leomon again. They started to doubt that he ever would laugh, but they didn't give up and kept on trying more jokes that almost knocked them dead.
#################################
During that time, BlackWarGreymon led Renamon to a secluded place in the woods for some private time. He wanted to make sure she was not upset at him for ignoring her till now.
"What is it you want from me?" Renamon asked him while he was still holding her paw, before he pulled her close and embraced her.
"Black!" Renamon gasped from the sudden move. He responded with a grin and leaned down to kiss her, but she pushed him off her before he reached her. BlackWarGreymon was extremely stunned by her reaction.
"What's wrong?" he asked troublingly.
"What's wrong? Don't you see what's wrong?" she sharply retorted.
"Actually, no," he directly answered. Renamon's face turned gloom and she turned her back to him, not wanting him to see her cry. BlackWarGreymon approached her slowly and placed his hands gently on her shoulders, turning her around again. He then stared at her teary eyes and realized that something truly was troubling her.
"Don't hide it from me and simply tell me. What have I done to upset you this much?" he soothingly said. Renamon couldn't help but hug him again, resting on his brawny chest as he hugged her back.
"Please, BlackWarGreymon... tell me that you're... that Angewomon isn't..." she spoke with difficulty. BlackWarGreymon immediately got her meaning and tried to comfort her.
"Don't you fear that I'll abandon you this easily. What was between me and Angewomon is long over. You're the one that my heart is caring about now, only you," he sweetly told her and made her joyful in an instant as she pressed herself into him more.
"Oh, Black," she whispered gently and lifted her face to see his handsome face. BlackWarGreymon had a wide smile spread on his face and raised her up a bit for a kiss. He pressed his muzzle on her lips and kissed her deeply, leaning down on her more. Renamon was lost in the kiss and didn't feel the track of time, as they held this obsessive muzzling for a long while.
###########################
“Oh yeah, Yo momma's so fat, when we played hide and
seek I spotted her behind the
“Yo momma's so nasty, a skunk smelled her ass and passed out!”
Chris and the others kept on coming up with jokes, continuing to laugh hard, and all that with no use. Leomon’s face still was as hard as a rock, not even a single beam on his muzzle.
“Oh man… I don’t think I can take more of this anymore…” Gomamon panted, lying on his back from laughing the whole time.
“What the heck is wrong with him? Is he deaf or something?” Ben crossly said, also tired.
“That’s it, I give up. No way we’ll ever melt down this ice berg, he won’t even budge.” Soni shook his head in despair.
“Wait, here's a last go. Yo momma's so nasty; her tits give sour milk,” Chris said his last joke.
“Oh, that’s enough!” Angewomon laughed.
“If you kept on going like this, you’ll knock the leafs outta me!” Lillymon cried.
“Dang! Nothing at all.” Frowned Chris. BlackWarGreymon and Renamon then joined them after returning from their personal meeting. They were both puzzled when they saw them panting and exhausted.
“What the…? Did we miss a party?” BlackWarGreymon wondered oddly.
“No, they’re just telling jokes to each other and knocked themselves out from laughter,” Angewomon answered him directly.
“Hey, I love jokes! Let me in the fun!” BlackWarGreymon then replied.
“We’re sorta out of it right now,” Chris said.
“What? Aw man! No fair!” whined BlackWarGreymon.
“Well, Hasan's the only one who didn't come up with anything. He just laughed his ass out the whole time." Chris then stated, switching to Hasan.
"What I can do except that? I couldn't help it, you were so funny," he replied wearily.
“Then you should be the one telling us now. Come on, speak up,” BlackWarGreymon urged him.
“Yeah Hasan, I wanna hear it from you too,” Renamon also insisted.
“I don’t know…” Hasan uttered timidly.
“You could at least try," Gomamon encouraged him.
“Well, if you really want to. Uhhh, I think I got one... Your Momma is... uh, so ugly, she got... arrested for terrorism when she looked outta the window," Hasan gave his best shot as they all stared at him with puzzled eyes.
“HAHAHAHAHA!!! What a riot!” BlackWarGreymon let out a hard laugh, holding his belly.
“That’s so funny, Hasan! You’re really great at jokes!” Renamon giggled and gave him a nice snug.
“That was funny? I must be really bad,” Hasan said, scratching his cheek embarrassingly.
“That was quite funny indeed,” Chris said.
“Yeah! Ha, very good!” Gomamon chuckled. The others laughed with them and didn’t notice that Leomon was still silent, until they saw him open his mouth.
“Did it work?” Ben wondered in anticipation. They waited for his reaction and thought that he was going to laugh any second now, but instead he put his hand on his mouth and sighed in boredom, making them drop on the side from the surprise.
“It’s hopeless I tell you,” Hasan said in distress.
“Seems so. Let’s carry on the journey then,” Soni told them as they agreed and prepared to leave.
“Hey Chris, where’s my share of fruits?” BlackWarGreymon then turned to Chris and demanded.
Chris looked around. “Uh, oh yeah, there they are. I saved it for you over there.” He pointed to a small bag filled with the fruits.
“That’s a good boy,” BlackWarGreymon said and went to pick them up as Chris breathed quietly. BlackWarGreymon picked up the bag and was about to munch on one of the fruits while walking toward. He was so focused on eating that he didn’t see the big lumpy tree standing before him.
“Watch out for that…!” they tried to warn him but were one second too late as he rammed into the tree hard, face first, stumbled on his back from the rough impact and the fruits were all thrown up in the air, landing right on him.
“Black! Are you alright?” they gasped.
BlackWarGreymon sat up and looked back at the others, all orangey yellow from the squishy fruits. He blinked his eyes to see properly and saw them looking at him surprisingly. He looked kinda funny, as they were holding themselves from laughing. What they didn't pay attention to was Leomon, who was about to burst, with a wide beamy smile on his face. Then without any warning, it happened. He let out the loudest laughter in history. He laughed so hard, that they all sprinted from around him and scattered in different directions from the fright in a flash.
"Wha... What the hell happened!?" Terriermon breathed out in fear, shaking on top of Ben's head. They focused their attention back to Leomon, still laughing his heart out.
“H-He’s laughing?!” Hasan uttered in disbelief.
“Either that or he really has a bad case of coughing,” Soni remarked.
“He really is laughing! Ha!” Chris laughed happily.
“Oh, that he laughed about! Your partner needs major help, Chris,” Ben then told him.
“Who cares? Heh, he was kinda funny, in a clumsy, hehe, way. Just look at him.” Hasan chuckled uncontrollably when he looked over at BlackWarGreymon, who was licking his face clean from the fruits.
“Mmmm, this is really tasty!” BlackWarGreymon said in delight.
“Teehee, oh Black,” giggled Renamon while the others laughed with Leomon at the silly sight of the Black Hero.
###############################
After that refreshing break, the party moved on and continued their journey. While they were traveling, BlackWarGreymon never stopped ordering Chris around to do some bidding for him, like bringing him water and carrying his Dramon Buster claws, while Chris was having difficulty convincing Leomon not to beat the black out of BlackWarGreymon every time. The others were wondering what all this fuss was about and Hasan was covering for Chris, coming up with excuses.
Night finally fell when they almost reached the end of the green forest, so they decided to spend the night there and carry on tomorrow morning.
“If we keep on this steady, we’ll reach our destination by tomorrow afternoon,” Angewomon informed her friends.
“I guess so. I can see the top of the mountain from here,” Ben said.
“Yeah, we’ve been here before. Leomon, Renamon and I were drifted here when we fell off the mountain by that damn beast Cerberemon and got separated from Hasan,” Chris pointed out.
“Arrgh, I HATE HIM!” Gomamon snarled.
“I was so scared and worried about you, Hasan,” Renamon said.
“Well, look at the bright side. You all got to meet Ben and Terriermon, while I found Gomamon on my way,” Hasan then replied.
“Yep!” Gomamon chirped.
“Speaking of finding, how about we find something to eat?” Soni said, rubbing his stomach.
“Oh yeah, we haven’t had anything to eat since morning. And I got just the thing to fill our tummies.” Chris opened his bag and got some canned food out of it. They were various kind of food, ranging from ready-made meatballs to marshmallows.
“Yea! You’re a lifesaver, Chris!” Terriermon and Lillymon cheered.
“Alright then, I’ll go get some wood sticks for fire. Who’s comin’ with me?” Hasan said to them.
“I’ll go.”
“Me too!” Renamon and Gomamon said in turn.
“We’ll come along, in case you’ll face something dangerous,” Soni then offered and Lillymon agreed.
“No problem with me, thanks,” Hasan thanked them and went with them to get some wood sticks.
“Ok, we need some water now. I’m sure there’s a river nearby. I’ll go get it myself,” Chris said.
“We’ll help you out, right, Terriermon?” Ben told him.
“Do we have to?” Terriermon whined.
“Hey, don’t slack off!” Ben scolded him and dragged Terriermon with him to the river. The rest that were left were BlackWarGreymon, Leomon and Angewomon.
“I guess… I’ll take a patrol around. Just to make sure everything’s fine,” BlackWarGreymon suggested and took off to the air. With BlackWarGreymon gone, Angewomon and Leomon were the only ones left behind. Angewomon saw this as an opportunity to talk to Leomon about their affair. She moved closer to Leomon, who was standing by a tree, leaning his back on it. She stood next to him and started to speak.
“Leomon? Can I ask you something?” she began by asking him that.
He turned his face to the side to face her and said, “What is it?”
Angewomon tried to gather up the proper words to use, “I wanted to ask… is there someone in your life that… you consider important to you?”
He turned his sight from her away again. “Why do you want to know?” he replied. She was somewhat stunned by his answer. “I don’t like to be questioned in those matters, and I don’t like to be used either,” he then added, a tone of harshness in his voice.
“What-What do you mean by that?” she directly asked him, but he didn’t answer her. Angewomon quickly faced him; “Do you think I’m using you? For what purpose? I didn’t ever take advantage of you! Why would you say that?”
“Then why would you come to me if you still care about that… Black?” he told her daringly.
“Black? Is that it? Oh, Leomon. Are you jealous?” She giggled a bit. Leomon answered her by turning his face away. “You are jealous! That makes me feel so happy,” she then said happily.
Leomon blinked. “I don’t see anything pleasant about this.”
“But there is, it proves that you really do care about me. Oh Leomon, I’m so glad!” Angewomon told him and threw herself to him, hugging him gently. “There’s no need to be jealous. Even if there was something between me and BlackWarGreymon, it had ended long before I met you.”
“I see. Sorry about how I acted,” Leomon apologized, wrapping his arms around her.
“It’s okay, I understand. Now, will you answer my first question?” she pulled herself from him and asked.
Leomon paused for a bit before finally answering, “Yes, there is someone important in my life.”
“Wh-Who? May I know?” Angewomon asked in a worried tone.
“Of course. It’s Chris, my partner.”
“Oh! You tried to fool me, huh? You dummy!” Angewomon playfully scolded him and poked him in his arm. “No, seriously, you know what I meant.”
“No, there wasn’t any.”
“Then… what about… Renamon?” she then purposely brought her up.
Leomon’s eyes turned sharp. “What about her?”
“Wasn’t she your traveling companion? I can see that there’s something between you two. Call it a sixth sense.”
“Well, your sixth sense isn’t very accurate, ‘cause there’s absolutely nothing that relate me to that girl. We just met recently, and aren’t the best of friends for that matter,” Leomon clearly explained.
Angewomon didn’t fully buy what he said, but she didn’t care as much as she cared about the fact that he was now free from any bondage and nothing would stand in her way to win over his heart.
“Ok, last question. What am I to you?” she bluntly confronted him.
Leomon was certain that she was going to ask that, so he didn’t take too long to answer. “Angewomon, that night we spend together was unforgettable. You were wonderfully great and I won’t deny that it had a major effect on me, but… we, or I, have more important things to deal with in meantime and I don’t think that now is the time to decide on matters this delicate. Sorry,” he honestly expressed to her.
“Don’t be, you’re completely right. I should be the one to apologize,” Angewomon replied, her disappointment obvious, before Leomon lifted up her chin.
“Though, there will be plenty of time when all of this is finished.” He gently smiled at her.
“You really mean that?” she asked him eagerly as he nodded to her. “Thank you, Leomon!” She was so thrilled that she just put her arms around his neck and pressed her lips on his muzzle. He didn’t mind and kissed her back softly.
During all that, BlackWarGreymon wasn’t very far from this romantic moment. In fact, he was eavesdropping on those two the whole time. He wanted to see for himself if what he was suspecting was true, about Angewomon’s affection for Leomon. Apparently, he wasn’t too far from it, and for some reasons he wasn’t pleased one bit. He didn’t know why, but to see Angewomon this attached to that lion-man really bothered him, even if he realized that their relationship is over. Was it possible that he still had feelings for her?
BlackWarGreymon turned his sight away from them and rested his back on the tree he had taken cover behind. “Why would I care if she loves him or not? Dammit!” he grumbled and didn’t sense that he was also being watched.
“Hey Black, whatcha doin’ here?” Hasan said and startled him a bit.
“Oh, hi, where did you come from?” BlackWarGreymon panickedly replied.
“We just came back after collecting some wood,” Soni said.
“Oh yeah, good work,” BlackWarGreymon said.
“Are you fine? You look tense,” Renamon asked him in concern.
“Sure, I’m perfectly fine, especially after seeing you.” He faked a smile.
“What were you looking at over there? Is something going on?” Gomamon wondered and peeked at where BlackWarGreymon was spying. BlackWarGreymon panicked and picked up Gomamon from the ground.
“OK, let’s move along now, nothing to see here! C’mon, get, get!” BlackWarGreymon shooed them.
“Wha?! But this is the way back!” yelped Hasan as BlackWarGreymon pushed them away and made them take another path.
######################
A while later, the party prepared a nice meal and had a good chat while eating. They were talking about the Digital World and how unnatural it was that it actually existed. The Digimon didn’t understand what was so strange about it, but they had the same thought about the real world. Except for Leomon, since he had visited it before by an unknown force.
“So, what I’m trying to say is, you’re all just cartoon characters in the real world, nothing more,” Hasan said to them.
“Gosh, really!? Err, but what is Cartoon?” Gomamon wondered.
“It’s hard to explain. You’re just fictional. Only exist on TV and books,” Soni said.
“Yeah, right! Fictional my ass! We’re flesh and blood here!” BlackWarGreymon snarled.
“Well, not really. You’re all made up from digital data,” Ben tried to tell him.
“I know that! But it’s the word ‘fictional’ that pissed me off. It’s like we aren’t real or something,” BlackWarGreymon crossly said.
“But you’re all loveable in the real world. Hasan, for example, can’t get enough of Renamon,” Chris then said with a smirk.
“That’s why I adore him!” Renamon squealed and snuggled her partner.
“Ack! It’s not like I’m the only one who likes a female this much. Chris here is Angewomon’s biggest fan,” Hasan countered.
“Hey!” Chris embarrassedly blushed.
“Oh, is that true?” Angewomon wondered in surprise.
“Uhmm, yeah… you can say that,” he answered and scratched his head.
“My, I’m quite flattered.” Angewomon giggled. “Thank you, Chris.”
“Like partner like Digimon, eh Hasan? Ouch!” Gomamon winked at Hasan before being pinched by Renamon. “What the big-?” he tried to protest but she then hushed him.
“What about you, Ben? Who’s your favorite Digimon girl?” Terriermon questioned him.
“I like all of them! But if I had to choose one, I’d go for Lopmon, cause she’s so cute,” Ben said casually.
“Lopmon? Never heard of her,” Terriermon replied, a bit puzzled. “Wait! She’s the one in that damn lemon right? How does she looks like, huh?” he then remembered and asked excitedly.
“That’s easy. Just paint yourself in gray and look at the mirror. You’ll see her right away,” Ben jokingly said.
“Hey, what are you trying to say!?” Terriermon frowned as Ben laughed.
“Well, I for one don’t like that many females.” Soni shrugged.
“Except for me, of course,” Lillymon followed.
“Why don’t we call it a night? All this talk made my head dozy.” BlackWarGreymon yawned. They agreed and went to sleep after they finished cleaning what was left of the meal.
#########################
At that night…
Something caused Leomon to wake up from his sleep in the middle of the night. He took a look around him and noticed that someone from the group was missing. He panicked when he realized that it was Chris and quickly got up to search for him.
“Where the hell could he be!?” he nervously said.
He picked up his scent and smelled him not far away. He followed the smell and reached the river, only to see Chris lying by the riverside unconscious. Leomon rushed to him, fearing the worst, and picked him up in his arms. He then let out a comforted sigh, Chris was just asleep and he didn’t seem to be harmed. His glasses were on the ground beside a pouch that had its water leaked out from it. He was confused as to why Chris would be alone in such a place, but then figured it out when he saw the pouch. Leomon picked them both and then splashed the remains of the water in the pouch on Chris’ face, waking him up with a jolt in the process.
“Wha-what!? Oh man! I’m sorry, Black! I was just… huh? Leomon?” Chris gasped from the icy cold feeling.
“Don’t you think it’s dangerous to sleep here alone? A wild Digimon might attack you,” Leomon told him and handed him his glasses back.
“I’m sorry if I worried you. It’s just...”
“Is it this?” Leomon showed him the water pouch.
“Yeah… BlackWarGreymon told me to bring him some water in case he got thirsty during the night. I didn’t plan to take long, but I got tired all of a sudden and fell asleep right here while filling the pouch,” Chris explained.
“Chris, I’ve been patient enough, but I can’t stand seeing him treat you like this anymore. This has to end, and I know how.”
“No! Don’t! You’ll end up fighting him and someone will get hurt! I don’t want this to happen, especially to you.”
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I’m not going to use violence unless he uses it first. Just let me handle this,” Leomon gently said.
“But…”
“Trust me.” Leomon smiled at him. Chris stared at him for a bit and then smiled back.
“Alright. I trust you.”
Leomon gave him a warm hug while still carrying him. “Thanks you. Now let’s go back.” Chris agreed as Leomon refilled the pouch with water so as not to bother Chris with it and carried him back to where the others were resting. He lied him back and whispered to him in reassurance, “Just rest easy, it’ll all be fine by morning.”
“Thanks, Leomon…” Chris thanked him and quickly dozed off. Leomon watched over him for a while before leaning his back on a tree near him and slowly drifting to sleep too. What they didn’t see when they came back was that both Hasan and Renamon were missing now.
Hasan was sitting on a small campfire near them, but he didn’t want to bother them with the heat of it so he started it a bit farther away. He was deep in thought about something, not sensing the person coming behind him. He felt two soft paws covering his eyes all of the sudden.
“Guess who?” he heard Renamon’s voice say.
“Uhmm, dunno… wait… my worst nightmare!” he replied jokingly.
“Why you...!” She poked him in his head in return. She then chuckled and sat beside him. “Can’t sleep?” she asked.
“Yup. Been thinking about something.”
“Can I know?”
“Well, sure. I’ve been trying to figure out why am I here. I’ve been asking myself this damn thing over and over again ever since I came to this world. I sometimes wish this was all just a dream and I could just wake up from it. But then, I won’t be able to see you or any of you guys. It really is confusing. I wanna go back, but at the same time don’t,” Hasan said, feeling a bit depressed.
“I don’t want you to go…” Renamon uttered sadly. Hasan turned to her and smiled.
“Hey, I know! Let’s make a pact.”
“A pact?”
“Yeah, here's what we'll do. If we succeed in finding a way to get back to the real world, you’ll come with me. You wouldn’t mind that, right?”
“Of course not! I’ll follow you wherever you go! But, what if we fail?”
“In that case, then… you wouldn’t mind if I stayed with you in your home?”
“Oh, that’s even better! I’ll have you all to myself!” She happily hugged him. “Not that I want us to fail.” She then blushed.
“Ugh, I’m glad for you. So, how about it? A pact?”
“I swear. I’ll do my outmost best so ‘we’ will go to your world,” Renamon vowed.
“And I don’t expect any less. Thank you, Renamon, you really are… something,” Hasan admired her and surprised her with a friendly hug. She was really stunned because this was the first time he did this kind of thing to her, but she was very happy indeed.
“C’mon, we have a busy day tomorrow and we need to get up early,” he told her right after.
“Right.” She nodded. They then turned out the fire and returned to the group.
########################
In the next morning, the party prepared to continue their quest. They had a quick breakfast and were about to leave, when BlackWarGreymon asked Chris to do something for him.
“Chris my man, would you kindly carry my not-so-heavy metal claws for me?”
“Uhmm, sure,” Chris willingly accepted and was about to go to him before Leomon held him off.
“Sorry, but he won’t,” Leomon grimly said.
“Excuse me?” BlackWarGreymon uttered.
Leomon took a step ahead and said, “You heard me. He won’t do any more services for you.”
BlackWarGreymon smiled sleazily. “Is that so? As far as I know, I’m the one who decides if it’s finished or not.” He then stepped towards Leomon too.
“Uh-oh, I don’t like the looks of this,” Hasan bitterly said.
“What do you mean? What’s going on here?” Renamon said in confusion. The two big guys exchanged sharp glances. It was obvious that they were starting to dislike each other now, each for his own reasons.
“You think you can do whatever you want, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, that ain’t gonna happen today,” Leomon daringly told him.
“Oh, and why not?”
“’Cause I’m gonna stop you, by force if needed.”
“Then go right ahead, I don’t mind a good fight. Though I don’t know if you’ll stand a chance,” BlackWarGreymon taunted him.
“Black! What’re you doing? Stop this!” Angewomon told him sternly.
“Leomon! Don’t do it!” Chris pled him.
“Ok, I’m totally lost here, dudes. What the heck did I miss!?” Ben said.
“No idea, but it’s ugly,” Soni added.
“Oh my, this is bad, REALLY BAD!” Lillymon cowered.
“C’mon, you guys, chill out! We don’t need this right now! Chris, we gotta stop this,” Hasan then said.
“I know, but…” Chris said in despair.
“Sorry Chris, but if this guy is still going to act this arrogantly, then he’ll leave me no choice,” Leomon told him.
“Heh, so now I’m an arrogant one? Ah, what's the use? You’ll probably listen as much as you talk, so I won’t waste my time with you,” BlackWarGreymon said and passed by Leomon, ignoring him.
“I’m not finished with you.” Leomon grabbed BlackWarGreymon’s shoulder, but he pushed his hand away.
“Don’t you ever touch me!” BlackWarGreymon growled and tried to punch Leomon’s face. Leomon blocked it and they ended up clutching on each other’s hands tightly.
“Stop it!” Chris shouted.
“That’s enough, you two!” Renamon got between them and separated them.
“You should be ashamed of yourselves, you’re supposed to cooperate instead of fighting!” Angewomon crossly told them.
Then, in the middle of this commotion, a loud evil laugh echoed throughout the woods. The whole group froze in their tracks, as the laughter became clearer.
“Ha! How interesting. The people I was afraid that they’d reach me are fighting each other. Ha, so amusing!” a sinister voice was heard. They were all utterly confused as to whom this voice belonged to.
“Who is it!? Show yourself!” BlackWarGreymon yelled.
“That exactly what I’m gonna do,” the voice said, before the trees got chopped in front of them in the blink of an eye and fell on them.
“Watch out!” Lillymon screamed. They scattered to get out of a bunch of the falling trees way, while BlackWarGreymon destroyed the rest with his claws. A bright light then shined behind the chopped trees and the figure came into view.
“What!?” BlackWarGreymon's eyes widened. A large Digimon appeared, with a tall body that stood roughly as tall as the trees. He looked really hellish, with a yellow and black color scheme that covered his armored body. He had a huge sickle at his right hand, and a flamethrower was mounted on his left arm. A devilish grin was on his skull-like face, which could strike fear into anyone’s heart.
“Surprise!” the demonic Digimon smirked. The party was completely overtaken by the shock, none of them had ever seen a Digimon this fearsome.
“Who-who are you?” Renamon said timidly.
“Ah, I haven’t introduced myself yet. The name’s Reapermon, or death to all of you weaklings,” Reapermon answered mockingly.
“Reapermon? Are you the one who was after us the whole time?” Soni asked him.
“That’s correct. You gave my minions a hard time trying to kill you. Poor Cerberemon didn’t have a single good night's sleep ever since he met you,” said Reapermon.
“So you came here to finish us yourself?” Leomon then asked.
“Oh, you’re sharp. That’s exactly it. I got tired of all this nonsense and thought I would come and end this myself. There’s no way you’ll ever reach that mountain.”
“Sorry to break this to you, but that’s not how it’ll go. You don’t know who’re you dealing with here,” BlackWarGreymon said and floated up in the air. He raised his arms up and gathered his energy ball. “Terra Destroyer!!!” He threw his powerful attack at Reapermon, who just stared at it calmly. He lifted his right arm and slashed the red energy ball before it hit, slicing it in half like a watermelon and sending each side to opposite ways. It made two big explosions at each side, destroying huge parts of the forest.
“Ho-how…?” BlackWarGreymon uttered in disbelief.
“That’s impossible! The Terra Destroyer!?” Ben said, not believing that a powerful attack like the Terra Destroyer could be that easily dodged.
“Now's my turn, Bone Duster!!!” Reapermon aimed his flame-thrower at the stunned BlackWarGreymon and launched an enormous fire attack. BlackWarGreymon didn’t have time to react and tried to guard himself as the flames engulfed him completely.
“BLAAACK!” Renamon shrieked.
The flame then faded and revealed a slightly burned BlackWarGreymon, covering himself with his arms. “Is this the best you can do?” BlackWarGreymon mocked him bravely.
“All Right! He’s okay!” cheered Terriermon.
“Impressive. None could ever withstand a direct attack like that,” Reapermon said admirably.
“Heh, wonder why? No matter, ‘cause you’re going down NOW!” BlackWarGreymon flew towards Reapermon at high speed and was ready to execute his Black Tornado attack. Unfortunately, Reapermon anticipated this and in a quick move, used his deadly sickle to hit BlackWarGreymon before he could do anything. The sharp blade swung at BlackWarGreymon fast, but he managed to guard himself with his Dramon Buster claws. Yet, the slash was too strong and fast for him to fully block, as it striked him hard and sent him crashing into the ground violently, near where his friends were standing.
“Black! Black, are you alright?” Angewomon rushed to him and carried him between her arms.
“Yeah… ugh… I was just careless. I’m fine,” BlackWarGreymon grunted slightly.
“This… this can’t be? He easily defeated BlackWarGreymon… how can we…” Chris was saying, fearing the menacing monster would do the same to the rest of his friends.
“Ha! So, who’s next?” Reapermon laughed.
Leomon pulled out his sword and started to walk toward Reapermon. “I am,” he challenged him. Chris immediately ran to him and tried to restrain him.
“No, you can’t! He’s too strong!” Chris said.
“Just stay back, I don’t want you to get hurt,” Leomon told him and continued on his way.
“Wait!” Chris called out and pulled Leomon by his tail to prevent him from facing Reapermon. “You don’t have to fight him!” he said, before he tripped and hit the ground, letting go of Leomon’s tail. Ben then helped Chris to stand up.
“You heard him, let’s just stay back. We can only trust him,” Ben said and Chris remembered what Leomon told him last night, that he should trust him.
“You’re… You’re right,” Chris replied and then switched to Leomon. “I trust you Leomon! Kick his ass!” he cheered as Leomon nodded to him over his shoulder.
“Don’t hog all the fun for yourself,” Renamon walked beside him and said.
“I won’t stop you, but be careful, for your partner’s sake,” Leomon said, his eyes focused on the enemy.
“You don’t have to tell me,” she retorted.
“Rock on, Renamon! Make him regret that he even thought about messing with us!” Hasan supported her from afar.
“Yeah, what he said!” Gomamon followed.
“What about me, Soni? Should I join them?” Lillymon asked her partner.
“Not yet. Let’s just wait and see,” he answered her and watched what was about to happen.
“Two worthless Digimon against me? I’m sorely disappointed,” Reapermon said mockingly.
“Shut up! I’ll make you pay for all the trouble you caused us!” Renamon growled.
“No use in wasting my time on you. Oh, I got it. Since you think you do make a great team together, let’s see how you’ll do if you weren’t,” Reapermon said, his sickle arm beginning to glow.
“What do you mean?” Leomon crossly said.
“It’ll be more fun watching you die one by one. So, if you want to see me again, I’ll be waiting at the mountain, while you all try to reach it. LET IT RIP!!!” Reapermon yelled and slashed the ground with his right arm. The earth started to crack up under their feet and break up into pieces.
“No! Chris!” Leomon shouted and tried to go back to the others behind, but the ground cracked open before him and separated all of them in three different ground pieces.
"Wha-what's going on!?" Ben yelped. The ground then began to rise up in the air gradually, by the hands of Reapermon's powerful force. He raised the rocky platforms up high in the sky, each one of them separating the party into three groups.
"What is he trying to do?!" Hasan helplessly said.
"Goodbye folks, hope to see you again... alive! Burning Tornado!!!" Reapermon did a fast spin with his sickle, unleashing an immense fiery tornado from it. The tornado went straight to the party, who were still standing on top of the floating platforms as they were blown away by the strong force of his attack.
"Everyone! Hang on! Don't fall off!" Angewomon yelled.
"Woaaaa! I don't wanna die!" yelped Terriermon.
"Damn!" Leomon cursed in despair. All the platforms got separated by the tornado and got blown away to different directions around the mountain. Reapermon succeeded in doing what he had come for; splitting the team so that they would be weaker, and enjoying finishing them off in turns.
"Heh! Perfect, just perfect. Time for the second stage." He laughed and disappeared in a flash of dark energy.
###################################################
A while later, inside an abandoned ruin, Leomon found himself coming to under a pile of rocks and dirt. He pushed them off himself and sat up, shaking his head to fully awaken.
“Where…?” he wondered and took a look around him, realizing that he was inside a ruined building. He guessed that he had fallen down here from the sky after getting blown away. “Chris!” he quickly remembered and stood up to search for his partner. Just when he was going to take his first step, he glimpsed a yellow furry tail coming out from under a pile of shambles, along with a paw. He immediately went to it and pushed the pile away, revealing that it was Renamon that was buried.
“Hey, wake up! Hey!” he grabbed her from her shoulder and shook her a bit, slapping her lightly on her cheek. Renamon coughed slightly and then opened her eyes, seeing a blurry face of Leomon before her.
“Leomon…?” she wearily said.
“Are you okay? Wait, I’ll get you out.” Leomon pulled her but she yelled out in pain all of a sudden.
“Aaaagh! My leg!” she cried. Her right leg was trapped under a giant marble pillar. It probably fell on her while she was unconscious.
“Hold on,” Leomon told her and moved over to the pillar. He then placed his arms around it and hauled it up with his great strength in one lift, much to Renamon’s amazement. He lowered it down slowly to the other side, but the slight vibration it caused made a quake as the roof began to fall down on them. Leomon quickly lied on top of Renamon and covered her with his body from the falling shambles. After the place had settled down, he pushed the remains off him and checked on her.
“Are you hurt?” Leomon asked.
“N-no,” she stuttered, her cheeks brightly red from blushing. He completely covered her with his frame, as she was glued to his chest. She was totally stunned. Leomon had done a heroic thing for her sake. “Uhmm, c-can you get off of m-me now?” she timidly said. Leomon did what she asked for and stood up.
“Thank you… but… Where are we? And what happened to the others?! Where’s Hasan?” she then started to panic.
“I… don’t know. We have to look for them right now; we might find them around here. Can you stand?” he asked her. She tried to stand up on her feet but her right leg failed her and made her fall on her back again, moaning in agony.
“Aagh! My feet! It really hurts! I think it’s broken!” Renamon cried.
“Let me see…” Leomon crouched down to check on her injured foot. He held it gently and got a grunt from her. He then twisted it a little as she cried louder.
“AAAGH! That hurts, dammit!”
“Be patient,” Leomon sternly said and continued to fix her leg, as she tried her best to resist the pain and be less noisy.
“It’s not broken, just twisted. You’ll be fine after a while, just don’t tire it much,” he told her after he finished.
“Ok, let’s get going then,” Renamon said and tried to stand up only to fall yet again. “Ough! Damn! Oww…”
Leomon shook his head and then stretched his arms to her. “Come on, I’ll carry you,” he offered.
“What? No way! I can walk by myself just fine, thank you!” she sternly retorted and foolishly used her feet to stand, but for no use.
“I have no time for your stupid stubbornness! If you don’t want to, I’ll leave you here. Now what do you say?” Leomon harshly bit out, causing her to jolt a bit. She hesitated at first, but accepted at the end.
“Alright.” She nodded. Leomon didn’t wait long and put his arms around her, carrying her from her back while she wrapped her arms around his neck. He stood up and began to search around the ruins to see if there was anybody else here. Unfortunately, there wasn’t, and that made him extremely worried about Chris.
“Where could he be?” he worriedly said. Renamon didn’t know what to say. She sensed that Leomon was very concerned about his partner's well-being and she couldn’t blame him. She was worried about hers as well.
“No use in staying here. Let’s get a move on and look for them outside,” he told her and she simply nodded. They found their way out fast and realized that they were in the middle of a jungle. “I can see the mountain from here. They’re probably not too far away, I hope,” he said. Again, she didn’t reply and kept silent. She was quite confused about Leomon’s attitude towards her. This was the first he treated her this nicely and caring, ever since she met him. He might’ve been a bit rough on her, but she was annoyingly stubborn so maybe she deserved it. She didn’t know how she was feeling about him now, but it was nice for sure. She was gazing at him while he was carrying her, before he turned to face her.
“Hang on tight, I’m gonna move fast,” he told her. Renamon blushed, thinking that he caught her staring at him the whole time.
“O-okay.” She quickly nodded. Leomon focused his eyes ahead again and began to move, speeding up his pace. Renamon found herself tightening her grip on him, pressing herself on his broad chest more as he carried her.
#############################
At the other side of the mountain, in an area filled with swamps…
“There’s Gomamon!” Terriermon pointed to a small pond of quick sand. Gomamon was sinking in it while he was unconscious, going deeper fast.
“Lillymon!” Soni yelled.
“All right!” she quick complied and flew right to him, pulling him out of danger. She brought him back to them and handed him to Ben.
“Gomamon! Open your eyes! Gomamon!” Ben called to him while carrying in his arms.
“He’s waking up!” Terriermon said happily, hanging on top of Ben’s head.
“Uhhh… What… What happened? Where am I? Ewww! What is this icky stuff?! Yuck!” Gomamon came to and then groaned in disgust, seeing himself covered in goo.
“Yep, he’s fine alright.” Soni smiled.
It was apparent that this group was separated from the others as well, with only Ben, Soni and their partners, along with the newly found Gomamon. They ended up in a swamp-like side of the woods, and it sure didn’t look safe.
“Where’s Hasan and Renamon? And the others!? And…” Gomamon asked in concern.
“Well, we just found you here. You were almost killed by that quicksand,” Terriermon told him as Gomamon gulped.
“We didn’t find Chris or any of the others till now. We tried to call out for them but… nothing, nothing at all,” Ben sadly uttered.
“No…” Gomamon said in anguish.
“Hey, don’t be like that. I’m sure they’re perfectly fine. They’re probably looking for us now as we speak,” Lillymon encouraged them.
“Lilly’s right. We should just get outta here and start looking for them. Plus, this place gives me the creeps,” Soni said, shivering a bit.
“Yeah… I hate swampy places. I hope we don’t encounter swampy monsters,” Ben said.
“Aw, don’t fret, Ben! With me around, you have nothing to fear. If any monster attacks, I’ll show it my wrath!” Terriermon showed off.
“Hehe, you’re a brave little guy, aint’cha?” Lillymon giggled.
“You can count on me too! Until we find Hasan, that is...” Gomamon followed and jumped down to the ground.
“Alrighty then! Let’s not waste any more time,” Ben cheered excitedly and led the small team to find a way out of this dumpy swamp.
###########################
The rest of the party was at another side of the woods, in its deepest depths. Hasan was wandering around there, looking for his other friends after finding himself in this wide forest.
“This is so swell. I’m lost and alone, again,” Hasan said in distress. “Hey! Anybody! Does anyone hear me?!” he called out in hope that he’d get a response.
“Over there!”
“That’s one of them.” Angewomon and BlackWarGreymon were flying and found Hasan.
“Thank heavens I found you! Where’s everybody?” Hasan eagerly asked, running straight to them as they landed.
Angewomon shook her head. “I’m sorry, we haven’t found anyone else yet.”
“Damn!”
“Are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?” Angewomon then began to check on him.
“I’m really fine, miraculously.”
“You’re a tough kid. Getting lost twice without a single scratch. I thought that you were all dead by now.” BlackWarGreymon smirked, before Angewomon hit him with her elbow in his waist. “Ow! What?”
“How can you say that? You’re making him more worried!” Angewomon scolded him.
“I was just kidding, y’know?”
“Well, you’re not even half funny.”
“Uhmm, that’s okay. I’m sure that they’re all fine too,” Hasan then said.
“Heeeeelp!” they suddenly heard someone yelling.
“That’s Chris!” Hasan recognized his voice and dashed with the other two to his rescue. They arrived at the point where they heard him calling for help but didn’t find a trace of him.
“Chris! Where are you?” Angewomon called out.
“Here! Up here!” They turned their sight up and finally found him, hanging on a high tree branch with his backpack stuck on it.
“What are you doing up there?” Hasan asked him.
“Oh, I was really in the mood for admiring the breathtaking scenery, so I climbed up here,” Chris replied sarcastically. “What does it look like I’m doing?! I’m stuck! Help me!”
“Stop whining.” BlackWarGreymon flew up to him and grabbed him from his backpack. He then landed back on the ground and let go of Chris while still lifting him up high, dropping on his bottom.
“Ow! Couldn’t you be more gentle?” Chris complained and stood up.
“Be grateful I didn’t let go of you from up there.”
“Errr… Kay.” Chris gulped.
“I’m glad that you’re alright too. I hope we’ll find the others soon as well,” Angewomon then said.
“That’s right! Where’s Leomon!? And Ben and the others?”
“We’re the only ones here so far. Damn, I’m worried about Renamon and Gomamon too,” Hasan replied.
“Don’t worry about your cute partner, she could take care of herself just fine. It’s the others that are worry-worthy.” BlackWarGreymon then patted Hasan on his back.
“What do you mean by that?” Angewomon questioned him sharply.
“Nothing. Let’s get going. I have a deal to settle with that sonofabitch freak and I wanna finish it myself,” BlackWarGreymon said in a dead serious tone
“But he’s too strong. Even you couldn’t-” Hasan started saying when BlackWarGreymon cut him off with a glare.
“Hey! He didn’t beat me! I just underestimated him, that’s all! Next time, I won’t be so easy on him, you got that!?” BlackWarGreymon harshly yelled, stunning both Hasan and Chris.
“I didn’t mean it that way…” Hasan timidly said.
“Then shut your mouth! I don’t need to hear this kind of crap.”
“Black! Don’t be so hard on him! You’re just mad because he did defeat you and that’s the first time that you’ve ever been defeated! Don’t spill your frustration on them!” Angewomon turned against him and yelled, showing him the truth.
“Argh! Fine! I’m sorry, ok? Let’s just go!” BlackWarGreymon snarled and started to walk away.
“I’m sorry for that. Please forgive him. He hates to admit that he’s actually been beaten. He didn’t mean to be hard on you,” Angewomon apologized for him.
“No need to, Angewomon. I understand.” Hasan smiled at her.
“Let’s follow him quick. I bet our partners are dead worried about us right now. The sooner we move, the sooner we’ll find them,” Chris suggested and they agreed. They followed BlackWarGreymon, heading toward the way that led them back to the swirling mountain.
##############################
Meanwhile, Leomon and Renamon were still trying to find their lost partners. The environment was jungle-like in appearance; they couldn’t see what was in front of them anymore. Leomon was holding her in one arm while using his other one to cut away the vines that were getting in his way with his sword.
Renamon began to feel that she was a burden to him carrying her like that, and she hated to be that way. She thought of asking him to put her down, but every time she saw his eyes, seeing them filled with worry and concern over his partner, she didn’t dare say a word. She had never seen him act like this before.
After a while, they reached at a huge lake in the middle of the jungle. Leomon was trying to hide it, but he was apparently panting in exhaustion. Renamon sensed that and finally decided to ask him. “How about we rest here for a bit?”
“No. We mustn’t stop. We gotta keep moving,” he instantly replied and carried on his way.
“Hold on! I’m tired of you carrying me around! Put me down now!” she then demanded.
“I said no.”
“And I said put me down! I’m thirsty and I want to drink some water!”
They scowled at each other for a bit, before Leomon cursed under his breath and gently lowered her to the ground. She thought that she could walk normally again, but she was proved wrong as she staggered and almost fell onward, if it weren’t for Leomon to get hold of her before she did.
“Thank you, but I can walk on my own.” Renamon pulled herself from him and walked towards the lake, concentrating her weight on her left foot. Leomon let her be and turned his back to her, waiting impatiently for her to finish. Renamon sat down by the edge of the lake, dipping her feet under the water.
“Are you going to stay there all day? We have to move fast,” Leomon told her, his back still turned to her. Renamon ignored him and drank some water from the lake.
“Stupid girl,” he grumbled, getting quite irritated by her. He then lost his patience and went right to her, pulling her from her arm.
“Hey! Let go of me!”
“We’re going now!”
“What’s the matter with you?! Why are you this jumpy?” Renamon looked him in the eye and said crossly.
“I’m surprised that you aren’t. Your partner is lost and you act like you don’t even care,” Leomon replied back.
“Don’t you dare say I don’t care! I’m worried sick! It’s not like they’re really in danger. BlackWarGreymon is most probably with them so why are you this worried?”
“That’s what troubles me the most. It’s not enough I’m concerned about Chris’ safety, I have to worry about how that jerk is treating him right now.”
“What are you talking about? Black is a great Digimon, and he’s-”
“He’s nothing but a useless scum who takes advantage of others. You’re just too taken by him to realize that. He’s forcing Chris to do his own bidding like a slave.”
“Wha-what!? That’s not true! He wouldn’t do such a thing!”
“You’ve seen him yourself, how he was ordering Chris around since we left the town. That’s why I wanted to teach him a lesson he rightly deserves.”
“No… I don’t believe it!”
“You just don’t want to believe it. Let’s just get going then.” He said and tried to carry her again but she pushed him away.
“I said let go of me! I don’t want to go with you! I can take care of myself and I don’t need your, or anyone’s else's help!” Renamon yelled, but he got hold of her again and pulled her close till they were face to face, surprising her.
“Now listen here and listen well! I won’t tolerate more of your foolishness and waste my time trying to please you. If you won’t be smart enough to cooperate with me, then I’ll…” Leomon trailed off, glaring at her with raged eyes. Renamon was utterly scared of him right now. She couldn’t do anything except turn her face to the side in fear. Leomon noticed his mistake; he didn’t want to strike fear in her like that.
“I’m sorry,” he said to her softly and loosened his grip. She stared back at him in astonishment, seeing him calmed down. “I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s just… I’m very worried about him, Chris. This is the first time I’m not by his side, not knowing how he’s doing, if he’s safe or not. It’s killing me slowly and painfully… I don’t want it to happen again…” he said in sorrow, slowly turning his sight away from her in sadness.
“What do you mean… ‘happen again’?” Renamon wondered oddly.
Leomon turned his back to her, not wanting to remember that shameful past of his.
“This isn’t the first time… I lose a human partner. It’s something that happened a long time ago, but I try to shut it out of my memory. I promised that I won’t fail again… and I…” Leomon muttered in grief.
Renamon was touched. She fully understood the pain he was feeling now; she’d been through the same thing before. She felt guilty for not knowing this earlier and judging him so harshly. She wanted to do something, to ease his pain, yet she didn’t know how. All that she could do was raise a timid paw, touching his arm in a gentle way and slowly turning him around to face her.
“I’m truly sorry. But please, be strong. You haven’t failed. I… I don’t want to see you like this,” Renamon gently said, staring deeply into his eyes. She then surprised him with an embrace, finding herself pressing into him without thinking. She was driven by her inner emotions.
Leomon, on the other hand, wasn’t bothered. Her hugging him like this all of the sudden, after all the two of them had been through with each other, overtook him a bit. But there’s a thin line between rejection and attraction, and that line began to be reduced. He gradually locked his brawny arms around her and returned the embrace. It was like he needed it, needed someone to share it with.
They finally broke the warm hug, trading long stares with each other. “Thanks, I needed that,” he thanked her as she smiled back with a nod.
“Pretty,” he then said.
“Huh?”
“Your eyes. They’re very pretty,” Leomon admired her.
“Oh… thank you…” Renamon quickly blushed. She then felt his arms pressuring around her more, lifting her a bit. She then realized that he was planning to kiss her and she wasn’t sure how to react. But then, something unexpectedly happened.
“Inferno Gate!!!” A green flashing light suddenly surrounded them, followed by complete darkness.
“What-what’s going on!?” Renamon gasped.
“Get down!” Leomon pushed her out of the way of a sudden dangerous attack as blood sprayed from his left arm.
“Leomon!!!” Renamon screamed in terror.
“Ugh, I’m okay… just stay down and don’t move,” Leomon told her, grabbing his wound and trying to track down the attacker.
“Ha, that was so touching. I almost shed tears.” They heard the voice of Cerberemon laughing.
“Come out and show yourself, you filthy coward!” Leomon growled.
Cerberemon laughed louder, “Ha! A coward, maybe. But, I’m not getting out from this battle a loser. Your journey ends here!” Just when he finished that line, Leomon felt a sudden pain on his back, grunting painfully. Cerberemon was slashing him with his claws in the darkness, and Leomon didn’t know where his attacks were coming from.
“Damn!” Leomon grunted. Renamon was watching helplessly; Leomon was bleeding badly and she couldn’t do a thing.
“Hold on, Leomon! I’m… Aaagh!” she tried to stand up to help him, but her injured right leg couldn't support her. “Agh, crap! My foot!” she cried.
“I said don’t move!” Leomon ordered her.
“But…”
“Don’t be so hasty, pretty girl. Your turn will come after I finish him. It’s you I’ve a grudge on after all. I’m gonna make you pay for what you did to my eye!” Cerberemon became visible before them for a little time, revealing his scarred left eye. He then launched towards Leomon’s direction and disappeared into the darkness again. Leomon instinctively stepped aside and dodged the invisible mad Digimon.
“Curses!” Cerberemon snarled and jumped at him again.
“Watch out!” Renamon warned him.
Leomon took notice and in a swift move, unsheathed his sword and swung it to his right side, blocking the incoming Cerberemon’s claws.
“Nice move,” Cerberemon remarked as they were pushed into each other. “But it won’t help you for long. Hell Fi-” Cerberemon was going to breath his flame attack, but Leomon saw that coming and countered with a strong punch before he opened his mouth. Cerberemon flew backward from the blow and flipped around to land on his feet. “I’m impressed… BUT I WON’T ACCEPT IT! I WILL KILL YOU!!!” Cerberemon growled furiously, he was going mad.
“Stop yapping and let’s get this over with,” Leomon taunted him and pushed him to his limit. Cerberemon blended in with the darkness and began to move around in it again. Leomon tried to remain calm and to sense his presence, but he couldn’t feel anything. He then felt a gust of wind right from behind and quickly turned around to face him.
“Ha, gotcha!” Cerberemon was one second too fast for Leomon and slashed him in his hand, making Leomon lose his sword as it was sent flying and planted on a tree. Cerberemon then followed with a heel kick into his face and dropped him to the side.
“Leomon! Hang on, I’m comin’!” Renamon called out but was turned back by Leomon.
“Stay where you are!” Leomon yelled at her as he was getting up on his knees. He looked around for Cerberemon but was too late to see him disappear from his sight.
“Over here!” Cerberemon said and hit him from his left side. Leomon was pushed over and fell again, groaning in pain. Cerberemon kept repeating this several times, attacking Leomon from all sides.
“Oh god…” Renamon couldn’t stand this much longer. She had to do something to save Leomon and she didn’t care if she risked her neck. She tried her best to stand up on her feet and resisted the sharp pain in her right leg. She then gathered her strength in her left leg and jumped up high. She crossed her arms and was ready to unleash her special attack, but she feared she’d injure Leomon as well.
“No, I have to do it.” She believed in her ability and didn’t hesitate any longer.
“Leomon! Get outta the way! Diamond Storm!!!” she cried and performed her trademark skill. Leomon got her message and rolled out of the shards way, just when Cerberemon was about to attack him again.
“WHAT!? ARRRGGHH!!!” Cerberemon screamed as he fell into the trap. He didn’t know what hit him, as the shards rained down on him and critically damaged him, ending with an explosion. Cerberemon’s Inferno's Gate spell then shattered away. The darkness faded and light shined into the battlefield.
Renamon landed nimbly on her left leg, being careful not to harm her injured right one. “Leomon!” she saw him lying on the ground after the smokes faded. It seemed he was also caught in the explosion. She ran to him but tripped as soon as she took her first step. “Uhgh! Dammit!” she cursed at the pain on her right foot. A pair of two black front feet then appeared before her. She lifted her eyes, wide open, and saw Cerberemon standing, some blood dripping from his severely injured body.
“You…” Cerberemon uttered spitefully and slapped her in her face with the back of his claw forcefully. Renamon rolled on the ground and quickly sat up on a knee. Cerberemon jumped at her with a claw slash, but Renamon sidestepped before he ripped her apart. Unluckily, her injury wasn’t helping her as she staggered and fell on the ground, wide open for an attack. Cerberemon took advantage of this and body slammed her into a tree.
“Ugh!” Renamon groaned painfully. Cerberemon then stood in front her and held her put on the tree with his front paws.
“You’ve become such an annoyance! I won’t let you get into my way AGAIN!” Cerberemon snarled before Renamon gave him a punch right on his nose.
“Grah! Bitch!” he growled madly and clutched her from her neck, slamming her head strongly on the trunk of the tree, continuing by choking her hard.
“Say goodbye, foxy!” smirked Cerberemon and was ready to rip her guts apart while Renamon closed her eyes in despair.
A roar was then heard, followed by a sudden fast projectile attack. It hit the unsuspecting Cerberemon and knocked him off the ground and over to the lake, sinking him deep into the water. Renamon opened her eyes and saw that Cerberemon had disappeared from in front of her and saw Leomon standing some feet away from her.
“I won’t let you harm one hair of her,” Leomon said.
“Oh, Leomon!” Renamon said happily. Leomon was standing with difficulty and was also panting heavily. He started to walk towards Renamon slowly. She also was about to do the same, before she sensed the water surface rippling. Then unexpectedly, Cerberemon splashed out the water and launched for the kill.
“DAMN! RENAMON!!!” Leomon screamed out. Cerberemon's target was Renamon and he wanted to kill her so badly. Renamon was frozen in her place under the tree from the sudden commotion and couldn’t move. That’s when Leomon stood before her as Cerberemon pounced on him and slammed him to the ground.
“DAMN YOU ALL! I DON”T CARE WHO’S FIRST! I’LL KILL YOU ALL!!!” Cerberemon was going berserk, trying to sink his sharp teeth into Leomon as he struggled to get the mad dog off him.
“Oh no! I must…” Renamon was trying to figure out a way to help Leomon. She then looked above her and saw Leomon’s sword hanging on the tree. She quickly reached out for it and pulled it out of the tree. She looked over at them and Cerberemon’s teeth were about an inch from nipping Leomon. Renamon gathered all her strength and threw the sword straight at the mad Cerberemon.
“UUOOAAGHH!!!” the sword stabbed him right in his throat as he screeched in agony. Leomon wasn’t satisfied with just that and carried on her job, grabbing the sword's grip and digging it deeper into his neck till it went through to the other side, with blood gushing from both holes rapidly.
“I… can’t… lose… Reap… ermon… I… must… Graaawww!!!” Cerberemon gurgled his last words before Leomon pulled his sword from him and finally rendered him to oblivion, vanishing to bits and bits of data.
The battle was over at last, and the two victors remained silent for a few moments. Leomon let out a relieved sigh and stood up, returning his trusty sword to its sheath. He then turned around to Renamon and stretched his hand to her.
“We… We did it! We’ve won!” Renamon chirped in joy and hugged Leomon tightly.
“Yeah…” Leomon simply replied. She pulled herself from him and stared at him strangely.
“What’s wrong?” she worriedly asked before she saw him collapsing before her.
“Leomon!” she gasped and immediately got hold of him, embracing him firmly as he fainted. “Please hang on! Wake up! Chris still needs you. We all need you. I… need you…” Renamon sobbed, not caring about soaking herself with his blood as she hugged him closer to herself.

Meanwhile, back in the swamps…
"I don't know, but I have a feeling we're lost," Ben stated grimly.
"Don't say that! I hate being lost! It makes feel… scared." Lillymon snorted.
"Well, we certainly don't know where the heck we are," Soni said.
"But, we have to find our way back fast. I don't like this place. It reeks." Terriermon frowned.
"Same here, this dumpy place grosses me out," Gomamon followed.
Apparently, the gang was still finding their way out from the swamp area they ended up in when they got separated from the others.
"Lillymon, fly up and scan the area around to see where the hell we are," Soni requested.
"Got it," Lillymon replied and flew above the trees. "Hey! We're on the right track!" she said in content and went back down to her friends. "I can see the mountain! It's not too far away. We just have to take that way to get out of here."
"Excellent! Way to go, Lillymon!" Ben cheered, which made her giggle.
"You can always count on me!"
"Let's get going then, I wanna get outta here ASAP," Soni told them.
"Me too. But…" Gomamon then uttered.
"But what?" they all turned to him.
"I'm sorta… hungry," he embarassedly said.
"Eh? But we just ate this morning," Ben replied in surprise.
"I know, but I just am right now."
"Boy, for a small guy you sure eat a lot." Soni shook his head.
"You just don't have will power. Look at me, I can withstand anything." Terriermon proudly pounded his chest, before his stomach growled. "Whoops!" He blushed.
"Tee hee, some will power you have," laughed Lillymon, as did the everyone else.
"Anyhow, I don't think this place has anything much edible. It's all just swamps lakes and quicksand," Soni pointed out.
"Indeed. Let's hold on for until we get out of this lame place, we'll surely meet the others as soon as we do," Ben told them.
"Well said, Ben buddy!" Terriermon said as he jumped down from his shoulder and into a small puddle of mud. "Blargh! Darn!" he grumbled.
"Hey, hey, be careful where you jump, Terr, you might get yourself killed." Ben picked him up and shook the mud off him.
"Okay, I guess I can wait some more. C'mon, guys!" Gomamon said and started to run with his small flippers as the others followed him. Some time passed, and the swamp didn't seem to end as the gang continued to go deeper into it. Fog began to cover the place, and that worried them.
"Are you sure we're on the right track?" whined Gomamon.
"Hmm, Lillymon? Can you check one more time?" Soni asked her and she accepted. She flouted up above the trees and was totally shocked from what she saw, or didn't see, actually.
"What the…?! Hey!"
"What's the matter, Lillymon?"
"The mountain! It-it's gone!" she told them stunnedly as she landed back to them in a hurry.
"What? This can't be! We just walked a few miles, how can we have lost a whole mountain this fast?!" Ben said in disbelief.
"Are you certain that you weren't imagining it earlier?" Terriermon doubtfully asked Lillymon, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course not, you dumb bunny!" she retorted sharply.
"Oh no! This is it! We're lost in this hell of a swamp forever!" Gomamon yelled out desperately.
"Chill out, guys, maybe it's just the fog. Why don't we take a few minutes to rest and wait till the fog thins out a bit?" Soni then suggested.
"Good idea. This fog is so thick, I can barely see you guys," Ben said.
They started to look around for a nice spot to sit down, but the fog continued to get thicker by the minute.
"By the way, Soni, you haven't told us how you two met," Ben then asked Soni as they were walking.
"Ah. Well, it's kinda interesting. She wasn't the first Digimon I met. I spent my first day in the Digital World wandering alone," Soni answered him casually.
"Is that so? When did you get to meet each other then?" Terriermon asked second.
"It was in the second day morning. After waking up by some shaking sounds, I knew that something bad was coming my way. And boy was it BAD!" Soni shivered when he was reminded of that time.
"What? What was it?" Gomamon said in curiosity.
"It was Machinedramon. He was after poor Soni for no practical reason," Lillymon replied.
"Yep, it was him alright. Lillymon found me escaping from the fearsome monster and helped me out. We became partners from the get go and then she showed me the way to her Digimon town," Soni explained.
"Sheesh, that's scary!" Terriermon said.
"Big time! The damn monster didn't leave us alone since we left the town to look for you guys. We've been able to survive his ambushes several times, with some miracles. Lillymon here did an excellent job saving our asses. I owe you girl." Soni smiled and gave her a wink.
"Aww, anything for you, Soni dear!" She giggled and held his arm snuggly.
"Heh, that's cool. It's nice to have a female partner. You and Hasan are some lucky bastards," Ben chuckled.
"Hey! Do you mean you're not pleased with me!?" frowned Terriermon.
"I didn't say that!"
"Uhmm… guys…" Gomamon then interrupted them.
"What now, Gomamon?" Soni looked over to him and asked.
"Is it just me or is the fog keep getting thicker?" Gomamon timidly told them. They all noticed what he meant.
"Y'know, he's right. It's almost… too much…" Ben started saying, getting somewhat sleepy.
"Ben? Are you ok? Why are you talking like… that?" Terriermon also began to yawn.
"Hey, what's going on with you guys?" Lillymon strangely wondered.
"Wait a minute! This isn't fog! It's… gas…" Soni gasped, before he too collapsed with the others.
################################
As for the last group, BlackWarGreymon was leading in front while Angewomon, Chris and Hasan were right behind. BlackWarGreymon still looked like he was in a bad mood, so none of them wanted to speak with him, fearing that he'd get more pissed. BlackWarGreymon felt that and he didn't like it either.
"Why the silent treatment? Are we in a cemetery or what? Come on, speak up," he turned around and said, walking backward.
"Err, speak about what?" Hasan asked.
"Anything. This quiet place drives me nuts."
"But there's nothing to talk about," Chris said.
"How about some jokes like the ones you came up with earlier?" BlackWarGreymon told them.
"I don't think that now is the time for this, Black, nor are we in the mood," Angewomon answered him.
"Argh, fine! Be it that way," grumbled BlackWarGreymon and then took off one his dramon busters. "Here, carry it for me, will ya?" he said and threw it at Chris.
"Wha-? Whoa!" Chris didn't see that coming and fell on his back when the metallic claw dropped on him.
"Hey, why should he carry such a heavy thing?" Angewomon asked sharply.
"I didn't make him, he's the one who offered to help." BlackWarGreymon shrugged.
"No, he-"
"It's okay Angewomon. It's… no trouble at all," Chris said and carried the claw as he stood up.
"See? Isn't he great? Now come on and carry the other one." BlackWarGreymon smiled and handed him his other dramon buster. Chris staggered a little before he balanced himself and managed to carry them both. Angewomon didn't buy that even for a second and began to suspect about why Leomon was upset with him before. She couldn't do anything while Chris didn't mind, though, so she kept her eye on BlackWarGreymon to see if he'd act more strangely.
"Ah, I feel much lighter now. Let's carry on." BlackWarGreymon sighed comfortably and started to walk forward.
"Man, he still hasn't forgotten about it. Those look mighty heavy. Wanna let me help?" Hasan turned to Chris and said.
"No… I can handle it. Besides, I don't think BlackWarGreymon will be… pleased by that."
"But this has to stop. I think he's gone too far."
"I'm sure it will… it's a matter time. I'm sure of it. C'mon… we're losing them," Chris said to his friend as Hasan shook his head.
"Ok, if you say so."
They walked some more and the atmosphere began to heat up. The two humans were getting tired, especially Chris, who was still carrying BlackWarGreymon's claws. He suddenly tripped and fell down, dropping the dramon busters.
"Damnit!" Chris cursed and stood up again.
"Are you alright? You look very tired. Black!" Angewomon went to him and then switched to BlackWarGreymon.
"What?" BlackWarGreymon carelessly replied.
"It's getting overly hot here. Why not take a break to rest? And take back your claws!" Angewomon ordered him.
"I don't mind, but you don't have to yell," BlackWarGreymon said.
"What's wrong with you? This isn't like you at all," Angewomon went back to him and said.
BlackWarGreymon smirked. "Heh, nothing wrong. I'm still the same."
"No you're not. You weren't this cruel. Why are you treating Chris like this?"
"And why would you care? It's not like you have anything to do with them humans. Or is becoming Leomon's lover making you think that you're his guardian too?"
Angewomon crossed her eyebrows. "What did you say?"
"You heard me. I know that you're hopelessly in love with that lion-man, so that's why you came along."
"What are you implying?"
"I'm wondering if he's the only one. I had no idea you were this easy to-" Without expecting it, Angewomon gave him a hard slap before he could even finish.
"You have no right… No right at all!!" she yelled at his face, her eyes beginning to shed tears. She then left him and walked away.
"Geez, this is turning out pretty bad," Hasan said. Chris and him were watching silently and stunnedly, not comprehending a single thing. As for BlackWarGreymon, he was rubbing his now red cheek, rage filling him gradually.
"IDIOT!!!" he growled loudly and punched a huge rock near him, crushing it to small bits. He then looked over at the astonished Hasan and Chris. "What are waiting there for? Let's move," he said in an oddly calm tone.
"Uh, right," both of them said in one breath and followed him after Angewomon.
#############################
"Ouhhh… Man, is it hot in here!" Gomamon opened his eyes and moaned. He just woke up sweating badly. He looked below him and knew why. "Aaaaaahhhhh!"
"Wha-wha-what!? What happened?" Terriermon got up and yelped.
"Huh? Holy crap!" Ben also woke up and said in shock.
"How the damn the hell did we get up here?!"
"Eeek! I can't move! Get me outta this sticky stuff!" Soni followed as Lillymon cried out.
They all woke up after passing out and found themselves stuck on a huge spider web, which was threaded deep inside a pit, with a boiling black lava-like substance below them.
"Hee hee, welcome all." Arukenimon came into view from above the pit and snickered.
"Arukenimon! You ugly hag! Let us go!" Terriermon barked at her.
"Not even in your dreams, cutie. You're the ones who were stupid enough to fall into my trap."
"Trap?" Ben uttered.
"Ha, the fog, it was a little spell of mine. It made you imagine that you were progressing, but the truth was that you were just walking in circles," Arukenimon laughed as she told them her scheme.
"You mean that was all an illusion? Damn! How could have I fallen for it?" Lillymon angrily yelled, struggling to free herself from the webs.
"Then why haven't you killed us when you had the chance?" Soni crossly asked.
"And ruin my enjoyment of seeing all suffer a slow painful death? I don't think so," Arukenimon answered him deviously.
"What are you… going to do?" Ben gulped nervously.
Arukenimon climbed down the pit and into the webs. "This," she said and cut one of the strings that held the web.
"Nooo! Don't do that! You'll make us all fall!" Gomamon yapped.
"You think? That's exactly what I intend to do. Hmm, but first…" Arukenimon snickered and used her red sticky thread to pull Terriermon from the webs and into her grasp.
"Terriermon! Why you! Let him go, you dirty slug!" Ben shouted.
"It's payback time! You little runt humiliated me before, and now you will regret the day you mocked Arukenimon," she bitterly said and slammed Terriermon into the pit walls as he grunted in pain.
"Ough! You damn witch! Aagh!" Terriermon grunted as Arukenimon slammed him again.
"Terriermon!!" Ben yelled out for his partner. Terriermon was being beaten senseless and all the others were able to do was watch helplessly. "We have to do something! Anything!"
"How, dammit!? We can't even budge in these webs!" Soni replied.
Lillymon was doing all she could to set herself loose, but the webs were unbelievably strong. "Darn! I can't do it! How did she cut it so easily?" she desperately said.
"I have to do something. I have to prove that I can make a difference… but how?" Gomamon was thinking. An idea then crossed his mind and he decided to give it a try.
"Lillymon! Try not to move!" he yelled out to her.
"Why?"
"Marching Fishes!" Gomamon summoned his colorful fishes and sent them to chew away the webs that held Lillymon captive.
"Great job, Gomamon!" Ben cheered to him.
"Hush! Not so loud. We'll take her by surprise," Soni whispered. Arukenimon was busy with Terriermon and didn't know what they were doing.
"Just a little bit more…" The fishes were tearing the web's threads bit by bit, gradually freeing Lillymon. "YES!" She finally broke loose and flew away like the wind.
"Any last words, sweetie?" Arukenimon grinned at Terriermon, still holding him up against a wall.
"Agh… yeah… here's a little joke for ya. You're so ugly… you have a face even a mother wouldn't love. Hehe…" chuckled Terriermon and caused her to snarl in anger.
"You damn rat! I had it with your mockery! Say goodbye to your pals!" Arukenimon snorted madly and then threw Terriermon into the black lava pit.
"Waaahh! I didn't know you'd take it personally! I don't want to die! Not like this!" yelped Terriermon as he was falling to his doom.
"Aha! I got ya!" Lillymon swooped down and snatched Terriermon before he met his burning demise.
"Oh Lillymon! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I owe you a big one!" Terriermon was crying in gratitude.
"You're welcome, but let's save that for later." Lillymon smiled at him and then dropped him on the webs again.
"Hey! What's the big deal!?" Terriermon yapped. "Huh? Look at me, I can walk freely on it!"
"Just be careful not to get stuck on it again. You help them out while I take care of the red widow."
"I'm on it!" Terriermon saluted her and began to slowly tip toe his way to rescue the others.
"What the hell!? How did you escape?" Arukenimon uttered in shock.
"Ha, that's a secret. Now it's our turn! Flower Canon!" Lillymon aimed her shot at Arukenimon, but she dodged it and the energy shot blasted some of the threads that held the webs. "Oops!"
"Whoa! Watch where you're shooting that thing, you're going to get us killed!" Soni yelled out to her when the webs started to shake a bit.
"Sorry! Uh-oh!" Arukenimon attacked with her sticky threads but Lillymon flew up just in time to avoid it. "Whew, that was close."
"Come down here and fight, you wimp!" Arukenimon dared her.
"Wimp!? No one calls me a wimp!" Lillymon returned and dashed down at her with a punch, hitting Arukenimon backward and shaking the webs more violently.
"Hey, hey! Take it easy there!" Terriermon said as he was trying not to fall off.
"Hurry up, Terriermon, and get us outta here!" Ben yelled at him.
"I'm doing the best that I can, but those two aren't making it easier on me!"
"Just hop your way here!"
"Oh yeah." He sweat-dropped and then pounced up, stretched his big ears and glided down to Ben, landing successfully beside him gently like a parachute.
"Cool move, Terr!"
"Thanks!"
"Will you two get on with it!" Soni urged them.
"Uhh, right!" Terriermon said and began to pull Ben out of the webs.
"Flower Cannon!" Lillymon blasted her cannon but missed Arukenimon yet again, making a hole on the web. "Crap, missed her by that much."
"Lillymon!" they all shouted.
"Sorry, sorry! I'll be more careful next time."
"Hehe, you're just not good enough to defeat me. Eat this!" Arukenimon smirked and squirted acid from her wrist at Lillymon.
"Eeek!" Lillymon shrieked and got out of the attack's way, melting another part of the webs as it started to become unstable. "Oh my! If that splashed on me… brrrr!" Lillymon shivered from the thought and didn't see Arukenimon coming from behind her.
"You're mine!" Arukenimon got hold of her with her sticky threads and pulled her down to the webs again.
"Dammit! What's taking you so long, Terriermon!?" Soni said impatiently.
"I'm trying, but these webs are too strong!" Terriermon replied, still trying to pull Ben free.
"Hehe, now you stay put here while I'll get that bunny." Arukenimon snickered and completely wrapped Lillymon with her threads.
"Look out, Terriermon! She's coming for you!" Gomamon warned him.
"Oh no! " Terriermon yelped and frantically continued to pull his partner away with him.
"Forget about me and RUN!" Ben yelled.
"No I won't!"
"Run, Terriermon, or she'll get you both!" Soni shouted.
"Never! I'll fight her myself!" Terriermon bravely said and turned around to face her as she approached them fast. "Bunny Blast!" Terriermon shot his green energy blast from his mouth. He hit her directly in the head and knocked her off to the back with a loud screech.
"Bulls eye, Terriermon!" Gomamon cheered.
"Aaawright! Huh? Whoa!" Terriermon hollered in victory but his moment didn't last long as the web terrain began to collapse from that last attack. "Oh my…" gulped Terriermon. Nearly half of the web broke loose and fell down the pit, vaporizing before even reaching the bottom of it where the hot lava awaited. Lucky for them, they were at the still-intact half.
"Dear God, I don't think I can take any more of this. Get me out of here!" Ben said in despair.
"Would someone please give me a hand here?!" Lillymon demanded roughly, still wrapped in the red bondage.
"Hey, what about me?" Gomamon cried.
"Arrgh! One at a time, please!" snarled Terriermon in confusion.
"Behind you, Terriermon!" Soni suddenly yelled and warned him about the danger behind. Terriermon turned around in turn and was about to be captured by Arukenimon's threads but he managed to slip from her grasp with his Terrier Torpedo at the last second.
"Drats! I'll get you yet! You won't stay up there for long!" Arukenimon growled and waited for him to glide down to snatch him from the air. Terriermon couldn't fight back in fear that he'd endanger the webs, and his friends' safety. "Hah, got you now!" Arukenimon laughed.
"Oh no you don't! Marching Fishes!" Gomamon acted right in time and sent his fishes at Arukenimon to distract her.
"Graahh! You damn PESTS!! Get outta my face!" snarled Arukenimon, trying to scatter the fishes away as they floated around her. She was backing off a bit, stepping slowly into her own trap. The threads that held Lillymon also began to weaken as she quickly used all her strength to break loose from them.
"Terriermon! Now's your chance!" Ben informed his Digimon partner.
"Got it, Ben!" Terriermon answered back and without wasting any seconds, performed his Terrier Torpedo against the unsuspecting Arukenimon, striking her right in her body and blowing her off her feet and over the edge of the torn spider web.
"GRAAH! I WON'T LET IT END LIKE THIS! YOU DAMN RABBIT ARE COMING WITH ME!!" screamed Arukenimon and snatched Terriermon's foot with a thread before she fell over, pulling him down with her. Terriermon clutched the edge of the web with his small hands, trying his best not to be pulled down with her to the bottom of the pit, but he wasn't sure he'd last for long.
"Terriermon! Hold on! I'm… Coming!" Ben used all his strength and miraculously broke free from the now weakened threads. He immediately rushed to rescue his partner, getting hold of his hand and pulling him with all his might, but Arukenimon was still attached to Terriermon as she pulled him down even more.
"Aaah! Help, Ben!" cried Terriermon.
"Ha ha! You won't make it alive!" Arukenimon laughed and used her other hand to get hold of Ben as well, wrapping both of his hands with her sticky threads and pulling him down.
"Ben!" both Soni and Gomamon yelled.
"Dammit!" Ben cursed and struggled to stay put on top and not be dragged down with her.
"I don't think I can hang on much longer, Ben," Terriermon said wearily.
"Don't give up, just hold on. We'll make it," Ben replied with a smile.
"Time to say farewell, sweeties!" Arukenimon chuckled.
"Correction, 'sweetie'. Time to say farewell for you." Arukenimon turned her head around and was utterly dumbfounded by seeing Lillymon right behind, her Flower Cannon locked on and ready.
"How…? NO!" Arukenimon screamed. Lillymon fired at will and aimed at her hands, blowing it to chunks and making her fall all the way down till she hit the bottom, screeching in horror by being burned inside the boiling black lava. Ben and Terriermon closed their eyes from the gruesome sight as the spider lady was finally reduced to nothingness.
"Whew… Hurray! We Did it!" Gomamon breathed out in comfort and then chirped high in joy. But then, the unexpected happened. "Uh-oh… Aaaaaaaahhhh!" Just as the battle ended, so did the large web that was holding them, as it all collapsed downward.
"Don't fret! Lillymon's here!" Fortunately, Lillymon was around in time to grab the web and pulled them all up and out of the deadly pit, all of them still stuck on it. She finally lowered them to a safe land and helped them get out of the damn webs.
"That… was… the most freaked out… experience… I have ever had…" Ben was panting uncontrollably, catching his lost breath.
"You're telling me… I thought we were done for…" Soni was doing the same.
"But we pulled it off! We did it in our own and without Black or any other overly powerful Digimon's help!" Terriermon heartily stated.
"Hey, what about me? What, I'm not powerful enough?" Lillymon frowned.
"You bet! If it weren't for you, we'd be burned coal by now," Gomamon told her.
"Hey, you're not bad either. That fish trick was pretty smart indeed and came just in time," Lillymon complimented him.
"Aw, chucks." Gomamon blushed.
"Yep, you all passed with flying colors. Especially you, Terriermon, I didn't know you had it in ya." Soni smiled.
"Yeah buddy! You were awesome out there. I'm really proud of you, you brave champ." Ben laughed and carried Terriermon up high.
"Anytime guys!" Terriermon laughed happily with them.
"GRAAAHH! IT WON'T END LIKE THIS! DIE!!!" Without a hint of expectation, Arukenimon appeared before them all of the sudden, hideously messed up after climbing back from the pit.
"Holy shit! She's still alive!?!" gasped Soni in shock as well as the others as they watched her dash toward them fast.
"Not for long, Flower Cannon!" Lillymon fired without any hesitation and blew her up instantly, exploding into several limbs and chunks. Her remnants vanished into data bits as soon as they hit the ground, and the gang just watched silently after that shocking event.
"Oh man… I tell you, if this keeps happening, I'll get scared outta my skin," Gomamon said, wiping his forehead.
"Let's just… get out of here, 'kay?" Ben suggested and his friends fully agreed. They could see the mountain from where they were and fortunately, it wasn't too far away. They entered another swamp area and continued their journey, hoping they wouldn't face any more villainous monsters on the way.
############################
Meanwhile, back to Hasan and Chris…
"Chris, are you ok? You don't look so well," Hasan asked his friend.
"I'm perfectly fine," Chris answered, panting slightly. He wasn't carrying anything for BlackWarGreymon, but he looked exhausted. They were still trying to reach the mountain from the deep forest they found themselves lost in after the separation.
"You're pale as a ghost and you're telling me you're fine? Yeah, sure. Come on, let's take a break," Hasan said.
"No, we already had a rest a couple of hours ago. We shouldn't delay them like that," Chris retorted. They both then looked at the two Digimon they were accompanying. BlackWarGreymon and Angewomon were both walking nearly side by side, but they weren't talking to each other, or even making eye contact. Things truly looked bad between those two, and that worried Hasan.
"I wonder what the others are doing right now? Renamon, Gomamon, Ben and the rest of the gang. And jeez, Angewomon and BlackWarGreymon should stop being like that," Hasan said casually, trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah…" Chris murmured wearily.
"Ok, that's it, pal. You're so not all right. We're stopping for a break right now," Hasan determinedly said and walked over to BlackWarGreymon to ask for a few minutes of rest despite Chris' pleas not to do that.
"Umm, hey Black," Hasan called him uneasily.
BlackWarGreymon turned around to him. "What is it now?" he said in a gruff voice.
"Err, nothing really. Except… can we stop for a few minutes? Chris isn't feeling very well," Hasan timidly requested, scratching the back of his head.
BlackWarGreymon switched his sight over to Chris before returning to Hasan. "As you wish," he simply answered with a beam on his face.
"Really? Great! Thanks, Black! You heard that, Chris? Hey Angewomon, we're taking a small break," Hasan heartily said as Chris sighed in relief.
"Hm? All right. I do indeed need to cool off a bit." Angewomon smiled. They searched for a place to rest and quickly found a nice spot with lots of shade and some good fruits.
"Wow, this is a like an oasis!" Hasan exclaimed and went to gather some of the fruits for his friends.
Angewomon just wanted to sit down to ease her legs and leaned down under a tree, taking cover under the cool shades and away from BlackWarGreymon. He had noticed her behaviour and was getting irritated by it.
"Here you go, Black," he heard Hasan's voice next to him, as he handed him an apple-like fruit.
"Huh? Oh, thanks." BlackWarGreymon took the fruit and faked a smile to hide his anger.
"And this is for you," Hasan cheerfully said and gave Chris one of the fruits.
"Uhm, no thanks," Chris politely refused.
"What? But you haven't eaten anything for hours."
"I know, but I don't feel like eating right now."
"Well, okay. I'll go and get this to Angewomon then," Hasan said and went right to her, leaving BlackWarGreymon and Chris alone. Chris started to get a bit nervous being alone with BlackWarGreymon, but BlackWarGreymon was unusually quiet. Chris wasn't sure at first, but he wanted to ask him if something was bothering him.
"Black? Something troubling you?" Chris swallowed his throat and asked. BlackWarGreymon stared down at him with his yellow eyes and with his arms crossed, his back leaning against a tree. Chris shivered a little when he kept starting at him like this, like he was thinking about something. "Black?"
"Why would you care?" BlackWarGreymon finally spoke.
"Huh?"
"Why would you care if something was troubling me or not? Don't you hate me?" BlackWarGreymon said, his cold eyes still focused on Chris.
"Hate you? Why would I hate you?" Chris asked surprisingly.
"Meh, just shaddap," BlackWarGreymon turned his face away and grumbled. "Just go fetch me some water," he then told him.
"Water? From where?"
"I can smell a river nearby. Or do you want me to get it myself?"
"I… uh… no, I'll go," Chris answered grimly, took a pouch from his bag and went to look for the river.
Dusk came and they weren't making any progress, still wandering through the deep forest. Chris' condition was starting to get worse, but he kept hiding it from his comrades. When night finally came, they made the final stop of the day and decided to camp in the forest.
"Still no trace of any of them... I'm getting worried," Angewomon said jadedly.
"I feel the same way, but they can take care of themselves. Or at least I hope they can," Hasan said. "Heh, I bet Gomamon is whining about food right now."
"Tee hee, and Terriermon is still babbling nonstop." Angewomon laughed, bringing a smile on Chris' tired face.
"And Leomon... He must be sick worried about me. I sure hope he and the others are okay," Chris then said, a yawn escaping him.
"Aw, Leomon is a tough boy, no one will oppress him. I just pray that Renamon isn't with him right now. Wait, in contrary. I do wish they were together right now. Maybe this way, they'll finally come to terms with each other and became close friends." Hasan smiled and looked at them in turn, noticing an unpleased look in both BlackWarGreymon's and Angewomon's face. "Uhm, did I say something wrong?"
"Uh, no. Let's just stop this useless chat and get to sleep. I'll keep watch," BlackWarGreymon then told them and stood up. "You there, come with me to gather some fire woods," he looked at Chris and said sternly.
"Uh, coming," Chris answered and followed him.
"Wait! I'll go instead. Chris can stay and-" Hasan was saying when Chris halted him.
"Nah, it's fine. You go ahead and have some sleep," Chris told him calmly.
"But..."
"Come on," BlackWarGreymon ordered and Chris followed him. Hasan couldn't do anything except shake his head in distress.
A few minutes later, they returned with some firewood with only Chris as the one carrying them. They assembled it at the middle and BlackWarGreymon did a quick finger snap, causing a small spark that was enough to torch the woods. Angewomon and Hasan had fallen asleep during their absence. Chris was about to do the same, before BlackWarGreymon prevented him.
"Not so fast, kiddo. There aren’t enough woods here to last all night, and I'm kinda hungry. I guess you're smart enough to figure out what that means," BlackWarGreymon grinned when he said that.
"Yes..." Chris simply replied and sluggishly went deep in the woods alone to look for more woods and some food for BlackWarGreymon. BlackWarGreymon leaned his back against a tree and waited for Chris to return, but he was unusually late. Too late.
“What’s taking him so long?” grumbled BlackWarGreymon, getting a bit concerned. He finally decided to get his ass up and search for him.
"Damn that kid, where the hell is he?" BlackWarGreymon frowned. He was looking around the woods for him for some time, but to no avail. He then noticed some footsteps and quickly followed them. "There he is." He reached the end of the trail and found Chris, lying on his face at the ground with some woods scattered around him. "He was slaking off all the time!" BlackWarGreymon crossly said and walked over to the lying Chris.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing taking a nap here? You thought I wouldn't find you, eh?" BlackWarGreymon stood next to him and loudly said. He didn't get any response and that troubled him a little. "Wake up, kid! We have to go back now!" he yelled and bent down to shake him up. "Oh my! He's... burning!" BlackWarGreymon gasped when he touched Chris' forehead. He then realized that he was unconscious all this time due to a fever from extreme exhaustion.
BlackWarGreymon was very panicked now. He didn’t know that he was pushing him this hard while he was suffering from a fever. He immediately picked Chris up in his arms, but didn’t know what to do next or how to treat him. He thought about going back to Angewomon, but was intimidated by the idea of her blaming him for it.
“What have I done?! Oh please, Chris, wake up! Tell me you’re okay!” BlackWarGreymon pleaded, holding Chris firmly. That’s when Chris opened his eyes slowly, a slight moan emitting from him.
“Ouhh… What…. happened? Huh? Black? Where am I?” Chris wearily uttered after he came to.
“Thank the Digi-gods! You had me really worried, kid!” BlackWarGreymon said in relief, carrying him more gently.
Chris couldn’t comprehend what was happening, as he looked back at BlackWarGreymon with puzzled eyes. “What exactly happened? Uhh… Oh! I’m sorry! I was getting… the firewood and… I’ll get right back to-” he then remembered and tried to get back down, but BlackWarGreymon didn’t let him.
“No, that’s enough. You don’t have to do anything for me anymore,” BlackWarGreymon said to him calmly.
That stunned Chris greatly. “You mean… I’m off the hook? You’ve forgiven me?”
BlackWarGreymon picked him up from his torso and lifted him up till he was in level with him. “I have no right to do that. I… I’m… the one who should ask for your forgiveness. I’m… I’m sorry.”
“Wha!?”
“I’ve gone too far with this stupid matter. I’ve pushed you too hard without knowing the consequences of your condition. If something bad had happened to you, I wouldn’t have the guts to face the others and wouldn’t ever forgive myself,” BlackWarGreymon regretfully said.
Chris was feeling a little dozy from the slight fever, but was extremely happy to hear what BlackWarGreymon was saying. “I’m glad that you realized that at last, Black. I’ve been waiting for this moment to come. I’m really sorry about that lemon, but I didn’t mean disrespect by it in any way. After all, it’s not like that was the real you, and it was just a request anyway,” Chris explained, ending with a smile.
“Request?”
“Yeah, a request. That’s when someone asks you… to write for him a special lemon, and I quickly accepted this ‘cause… you’re in it. You know that you’re one of my fave Digimon ever.”
“You… You really mean it?”
“You bet.”
BlackWarGreymon couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He really felt ashamed for treating someone who admired him all along, and for a senseless reason. He bent down on his knees and then pulled Chris into a nice hug.
“That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me, for everything,” BlackWarGreymon softly said, a tear running from his eye.
Chris was very astonished by his reaction. He didn’t expect him to get this emotional. But he was pleased nonetheless, and did his best to return the hug. “It’s okay, BlackWarGreymon. No hard feelings. We’re cool as before, right?”
“No, we’re even better than before.” BlackWarGreymon broke the hug and smiled. His face then suddenly changed into a serious look.
“You’re all right, Black?” Chris looked at him in concern.
“Can I ask one last thing from you?” BlackWarGreymon asked.
“Uhh, sure. What?”
“Can we be… partners?”
“Wha?!” Chris said in a surprise.
“I know that I can't replace Leomon as your real partner, but will you let me be yours, at least for the time being? I refused to admit it before, but now I understand. I really want to have a partner, like you," BlackWarGreymon directly asked him.
“You really… want to be my partner?” Chris said as BlackWarGreymon nodded. “Of course, I’ll be happy to. Even when you were mean to me in the past, I still considered you as my friend. Although we won’t be real partners, we can pretend to be. You’re a fun guy, and I’m sure we’ll be best pals.”
That’s all what BlackWarGreymon wanted to hear, as he lifted Chris up high with a hearty laugh. “Oh, thank you very much! I promise that I won’t ever disappoint you!”
“I… I’m sure of it. But can you… put me down, please? I don’t feel very well,” Chris told him tiredly, trying hard to smile.
“Oops! I forgot about the fever! You have to rest well so you can recover. Come on, I’ll carry you back,” BlackWarGreymon kindly offered and carried him in one arm, using his other one to pick up the firewood Chris had gathered and then returning back to where they were camping, as Chris fell asleep in his arms.
"Oh Black..." Angewomon whispered to herself. She was watching from afar without BlackWarGreymon and Chris knowing the whole time, before she quickly returned to their camp spot after that touching event.
###############################
Leomon woke up with long moan, coming to from his fainted state. He opened his eyes wearily and saw that he was still in the jungle, but it was getting dark so he realized it was past afternoon. He sat up and groaned a bit, his body feeling painfully sore. He was away from where the lake was, he realized, and then immediately remembered his battle with Cerberemon. He looked around worriedly for Renamon, but he didn't find a trace of her. He quickly tried to stand up but his wounded body failed him as he sat down again with a grunt.
Suddenly, a movement was heard behind the bushes and Leomon picked up his sword and prepared himself for whatever was coming for him.
"Settle down, it's me," Renamon came out from behind the bushy leaves and said. Leomon let out a soft comforting sigh, relieved that it wasn't an enemy and to see that she was safe. He sheathed his sword back and sat down in his previous position as she sat beside him.
"Where were you?" he asked her.
"I was just looking around for these. Here, eat it." She stretched her paw and gave him some herbs.
"What's this?"
"Remedial herbs, it'll help you regain your strength. I know that because I use them a lot during my travels. Come on, take it," she answered and handed an herb to him. Leomon took it and hesitated a little, but he finally shoved in his mouth and chewed on it.
"Eugh! What a horrible taste!" Leomon exclaimed in detest. It was so sour that it would be enough to cause a Sukamon to vomit.
"I know. But you have to chew it long and good before you swallow it. That's the only way for it to work, so you have to bear it." Smiled Renamon.
A small smile appeared on his face. "It's not the best that's entered my mouth, but I have eaten worse food," he surprisingly joked and made her giggle. His smile spread when he saw her laugh and thought how pretty she looked when she smiled. Renamon caught him gazing at her and switched her sight from him, blushing.
She then remembered she was planning on something and moved closer to him. She put some herbs inside her mouth and started to chew on them. "Ewww! Just awful!" she said in disgust and continued to chew the herbs.
Leomon was wondering what she had in mind and asked her, "What are you doing?"
Renamon then spitted out the herbs in her paws after turning it into a moist texture so that she could use it as ointment for his wounds. "Give me your arm," she said and he willingly did. She spread the moist herbs on his injuries and started to treat him, getting a few soft groans as a reaction from him. "Sorry, just hang on a bit."
"It's alright, it doesn't hurt… just stings," he replied. She nodded and carried on with her job. He then discovered that her paws were filled with scratches and light injures. He guessed that she harmed herself with thorns and weeds while she was gathering the herbs for him. She even carried him all the way here to this nice spot. He really felt ashamed for putting her through this.
"Sorry for troubling you," he apologized.
"No worries. We got to stick together, correct?"
"Yeah. By the way, how's your leg?"
"Oh, I'm okay now. Still can't do anything major like running, but I can walk just fine."
"Good to know." He smiled and made eye contact with her again, gazing at her with his eyes that always made her turn her face away in wariness.
As she was treating him, Renamon remembered what she had wanted to tell him. "Le-Leomon?" she murmured his name.
"Yeah?"
"I… I just wanted to say… Thank you. If it weren't for you, Cerberemon would've surely finished me off. You saved me twice today. I'm truly grateful," she expressed thankfully, still not daring to look at him.
Leomon used his other hand to lift up her chin to face him and stared at her dazzling blue eyes. "No need to thank me. I just did what I had to do. And we have to return to our partners in one piece, so that's why. I have to thank you too," he said and rested his hand on her paws that were mending his wounds. A sudden striking feeling ran through her body when he touched her. This new fascinating, yet familiar feeling she was experiencing that moment was overwhelming her. She was beginning to see the true side of Leomon. The gentle and caring side, a side she was inevitably falling in love with. She had never expected this to happen, or maybe she had but refused to admit it. There was something about him that she'd felt ever since she met him, and only now did she fully realize it.
But, there were still obstacles that forbid this feeling, BlackWarGreymon and Angewomon. She had feelings for BlackWarGreymon, and so did he, though he hadn't confessed it yet. She wasn't sure if it was love or not.
And Angewomon. She knew that Angewomon loved Leomon, and maybe he shared the same feeling for her. She didn't want to hold on a hope that may not be. At the end, she decided to restrain her feelings for now and not to reveal anything.
"Renamon? What's wrong?"
"Huh?" Renamon snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Leomon calling her.
"Are you okay? Do you want to rest? It's getting late," Leomon told her. She saw that he was right indeed and it was almost . She then noticed that he was still holding her paws firmly and quickly pulled them from him.
"Uh, uhm, you're right… I think that's enough for now. You'll feel much better in the morning. You have to sleep some more to fully recover. Come on now," she said and helped him to lie down on his back.
"Renamon, can I ask something of you?" Leomon then asked her and she nodded to him. "Will you sleep with me?" he frankly said. Renamon was completely shocked.
"Wh-what!?" she gasped.
Leomon grinned. "No, it's not that. Don't worry. I meant, would you just sleep beside me? It's getting very cold," he cleared out to her. She was still surprised by his request. Was he saying that he wanted to keep himself warm in the night or her?
"Well?"
"Uhmm, al-alright..." she accepted. She couldn't find any excuse not to, and she trusted that he wouldn't try anything disrespecting. She sat next to him and got as close as him as she could. He placed one arm around her and comforted her to just relax. He pulled her down with him as they lied beside each other like a couple, his arm still around her while she kept her hand to herself.
Leomon drifted to sleep fast, due to his exhaustion. Renamon was kind of embarrassed to sleep this near to him in this awkward manner, but it only took her a few minutes to regulate and feel his gentle warmth. It soothed her as she rested one arm on his chest and her head on his sturdy arm like a pillow, trying to keep him warm too with the heat of her furry body. She soon started feeling dozy and fell asleep.
#########################
Meanwhile, Ben, Soni, Lillymon, Terriermon and Gomamon finally found their way out of he swamps and into another forest.
“At last! I’m sure glad that nightmare is over. Ahhh, the smell of fresh air!” Ben said and inhaled deeply.
“You can say that again, buddy! Man, I don’t want to be in that place ever again,” Terriermon followed.
“Yep. I’m also sure we’ll find Hasan and the others soon. I can’t wait to tell them how we defeated that creepy witch!” Gomamon said in enthusiasm.
“Don’t forget, I’m the one that finished her off,” Lillymon arrogantly told them.
“But I’m the one who kicked her ass!” Terriermon answered back crossly.
“Hey, don’t bail me out!” Gomamon frowned.
“Ok, ok, cut it out, you guys. You just won one battle and you let it go into your heads. We still have that Reapermon to worry about, you know,” Soni then told them as they all shivered from the thought of him.
“Err… Yeah, sure. We’ll whup his ass too! Right, Ben?” Terriermon gulped and turned to his partner.
“Riiiight. Anyway, don’t you see it’s getting late?” Ben informed them. They found a suitable area beyond the swamps to pull the brakes and rest. They prepared a campfire and gathered around it. And since it was nearly , they decided to crash and call it a day till early morning.
A few minutes later…
"Terriermon. Terriermon! Wake up!" Terriermon heard someone calling him in his deep sleep. "Wake up, Terriermon! Err… please." It became a little louder and made him open his eyes, only to see Gomamon standing right beside him.
"Oh boy… What is it, Gomamon?" Terriermon yawned.
"Sorry to wake you up in this time, but…"
"But WHAT?!" yelled Terriermon, getting cranky.
"Can you tag with me to the river for a drink of water?"
"Huh? You waked me up from my sleep for that!? Can't you go by yourself? You used to be a wild one, right?"
"I would, but I got so used to being with you guys that I'm scared to be alone anymore and forgot the wild life. C'mon, Terriermon! Please, pretty please!" Gomamon begged him with pleading eyes.
"Oh, awright! Just don't make us take too long."
"Yea! Thanks, pal!" Gomamon said in joy and left with Terriermon to the nearby river while the others were sound asleep. Gomamon dipped his head in the river to quench his thirst as soon as they arrived.
"Had your fill yet?" Terriermon said impatiently.
"Ahhh. I needed that," Gomamon sighed after removing his head out of the water. He then jumped and dived in the cold water, splashing some of it on Terriermon.
"Brrr! What the HELL are you doing!?" Terriermon grumbled madly, all wet and cold.
"Ha ha! C'mon, Terriermon, lighten up and join the fun." Gomamon laughed.
"Are you NUTS!? No way I'm gonna jump in the icy cold water! Cut it out and let's go back!"
"Aww, okay," Gomamon complained and got back to the dry land.
"What a drink of water that was."
"Hey, you can't blame me. I am a seal Digimon and need my share of fluids to stand a chance in the land."
"Whatever, let's just go."
"Wait!"
"What is it now!?"
"Uhmm, I don't feel much like sleeping right now. Why don't we stay here for a while and talk, huh?"
"And I don't feel much like talking right now!"
"Are you kidding me? You love to talk all the time, and I like it when I get to talk with ya."
"Really? You really do?"
"Yeah, you're a fun mon."
"Well, if you put it that way, K'. You blew away the sleep from my eyes, anyway." Terriermon's mood changed from bad to good strangely fast.
"Neat! What do you want to talk about?"
Terriermon paused for a few seconds to think and then snapped his fingers. "I know, let's talk about girls we like."
"Girls?" Gomamon blushed.
"Yep, girls. What type of females do you like?" Terriermon bluntly asked.
"Errr… don't really know... Haven't given it much thought before. Why not start with you, Terriermon?"
"O-kay! Hmm, y'know, I really like Fairymon. Every time I see her, I just feel hot! She's so pretty and sexy, and I hear she's very naughty, if you know what I mean." Terriermon snickered with a wink.
Gomamon blushed more. "Fairymon? That other female we left in town, right? Yeah, she's… pretty nice."
"Pretty nice? Is that all you could say?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not that hot when it's comes to the other sex," Gomamon admitted embarrassedly, scratching the dirt with his claw.
"Is that so? Are you telling me that you're gay?" Terriermon said sleazily.
"HELL NO! Why would you say such a thing!?"
"Hehe, just fooling with ya. Don't take it personally. So, I take it that you're STILL a virgin."
"To make it simple, yeah. Haven't been with a girl before."
"Hey, don't take it this bad. Your time will come when you least expect it. Take me for example."
"You mean… you've already had sex with someone!?" Gomamon blinked.
"You betcha! Wanna know whom? Floramon, that pub regular. Boy, oh boy, was it great! And the best thing is that I had it with her several times, and it keeps getting better," Terriermon proudly stated.
Gomamon looked at him with wide opened eyes and mouth. "Wha! For real?"
"But of course. In fact, one time, me and my two chums, Agumon and Gazimon, took her at the same time, and she still wanted more." Terriermon smirked.
"Wow, that good, huh? Man, I wish I was that lucky."
"You can at least tell me which of the girls we've met so far you like the most and makes you just wanna go wild with her."
"Me? Uhhhh, well, Angewomon is very beautiful. I might faint if she just gives me a kiss on my head. But… no, forget it."
"What? What?"
"Nah, I shouldn't say it."
"Come on, tell me!"
"Err, actually, the most sexy girl, the one I dream about sometimes, is none other than… Renamon."
"Whoops! Really?"
"But don't EVER tell anyone! I don’t know what Hasan would think if he knew!
"My lips are sealed. So, spill it. What do you like about her?"
"Hmm, pretty much everything. She's lovely, has a firm sexy body, and every time I see her tush, with her bushy long tail, I feel really horny."
"Damn, you have taste. I salute you, buddy."
"Thanks, but it's not like I even have the slightest chance with her, or anybody else for that matter."
"Hey, don't be like that. You just need to have more faith, and it'll drop on you from outta nowhere."
"AND WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?" Lillymon's voice shouted from behind the bushes.
“Waaaaaahh!” both of Terriermon and Gomamon yelped their heart out from the sudden start and jumped into each other, getting themselves bumped. “Ow!” they both exclaimed, rubbing their heads.
“What the heck is the matter with you two?” Lillymon said, coming out into view.
“Goddammit! You scared us shitless and you’re asking what's the matter with us?” Terriermon panted.
“Yeah, what was that for?” snapped Gomamon.
“Served you right! How dare you forget about me?” Lillymon scowled at them with her arms crossed.
Terriermon and Gomamon blinked at each other. “Forget about you? What’re talking about?” Terriermon wondered.
“Gah! Don’t play dumb with me! Am I not attractive enough!?”
“OH! You heard what we were talking about!?” gasped Gomamon.
“Every single word. I don’t think you’ll feel very proud of yourselves when everyone else knows about it.” Lillymon grinned.
“You wouldn’t!” Terriermon uttered.
“Oh yes I will! Unless…” Lillymon added and then paused, turning her back to them.
“Unless what!? Tell us please! We’ll do anything!” they both begged her.
“Well… tell me, what do you boys think about me?” She faced them again and smiled.
“Huh?” both of them exchanged stupid stares.
“I’m waiting!”
“Oh! Uhh, you? Well, hehe, give me a minute… Hmm… Oh, oh! I got it! You’re very… cute,” Terriermon blandly said.
Lillymon looked at him sharply. “Cute? Cute! Is that it!?”
“Uh, no, no! I haven’t finished yet… Uhmm… C’mon, Gomamon, give me a hand here!” Terriermon whispered to Gomamon.
“Me? Errr… I think you’re really pretty,” Gomamon bluntly remarked.
“Aww, really?” Lillymon squealed.
“Yeah, yeah! You’re as beautiful as the flower you are,” Terriermon tried to sweet talk her too.
“Why thank you! I find you two very adorable as well!” Lillymon chirped and giggled.
Terriermon and Gomamon sweatdropped. That’s not exactly a thing you tell to a male to boost his ego. “Err… Thanks,” they both breathed at the same time.
“Okay, next. Am I sexy?” she then asked them. Their eyes bugged out when she asked that.
“Uhhh, sure. You’re really sexy,” Terriermon answered, figuring that she’d stop at only that.
“Sexy enough to make love to me?” She winked at them both.
“Say what!?” they both said at the same time.
“Why not? You have to prove to me that you really meant what you just said. Or were you two just bluffing?” Lillymon glared at them with one eye.
“Uh, no, no. I was just… surprised. Do you really want us to have sex? As in, RIGHT NOW?” Terriermon asked, getting excited. Lillymon answered him by picking him up from the ground and then pressing her lips on his, kissing him deeply, with her arms wrapped around him. Terriermon's gasp was muffled by the sudden kiss, but he calmed down and closed his eyes, concentrating on returning the kiss. Gomamon was watching with his jaw dropped down, very stunned.
After about a minute, the kiss ended as Lillymon parted her lips. “Does that answer your question?” she smiled with a little blush on her cheeks.
Terriermon was still overtaken by the kiss, but he then shook his head to snap out of it and could only answer with a “Oh hell yes! Can we do it again?”
Lillymon giggled. “Hehe, not so fast. There’s somebody else who needs some attention.” She lowered Terriermon back down and moved closer to the nervous Gomamon. She sat down before him and picked him up as well, staring at his red face. “Oh, for a cute rookie, I find you attractively handsome.” Lillymon grinned.
“You do?” Gomamon's eyes sparkled and before he knew it, she had pulled him into a deep kiss. His small muzzle was quite big for her lips, so she opened her mouth further and started to bite his upper lips lightly to please him. Gomamon's eyes widened at that; this was the first time he kissed someone, and he loved it. Lillymon broke the kiss shortly after, disappointing Gomamon.
“Aw, don’t fret, we’re not finished yet. Terriermon? Will you help me with my outfit?” Lillymon looked over at Terriermon and winked.
“Yes, ma’am!” replied Terriermon and moved over to her back. He reached up to a clip behind her back and quickly unclipped it. He then began to strip her out of her pink dress slowly, his eyes gazing at her thin, yet firm naked body.
Gomamon too was staring at her, getting simply aroused by the sight of her completely nude before him.
“Okay, let’s carry on.” Lillymon smiled and returned to kissing Gomamon, more deeply than before as she got used to his muzzle. Gomamon decided to do something as well instead of just hanging there doing nothing, so he lifted up his front flippers and placed them behind her head, rubbing it gently and pulling her closer to deepen the kiss. As he was muzzling her, he noticed that his crotch was pressing against her breasts, and that felt good to him as his arousal increased. He started to move his hips against her chest, gaining an erection, his penis coming out from its pouch and slowly brushing between her two small but well endowed breasts. Lillymon moaned from this and then ended the kiss.
“Oh, you get excited fast, don’t you?” Lillymon smirked, staring down at his member, already rock hard.
“Sorry.” Gomamon blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Why sorry?” she laughed as did Terriermon.
“Ha, you really are green, bud.” Terriermon chuckled. That is till Lillymon leaned down to him and laid him on his back.
“Oh really? Let’s see how much of an expert you are,” Lillymon seductively said and brought a hand to his crotch. Terriermon’s body shivered from the unexpected pleasurable feeling. Lillymon was moving her delicate hand on his pouch, teasing it slightly and opening the slit with two fingers, bringing out the warm meat as Terriermon groaned louder. She grabbed the semi erect cock with one hand and began to stroke it slowly, growing it to its full size in a few seconds. Terriermon was enjoying the soft touch of her hands, stroking his shaft and fondling his sack. His moans grew louder as precum oozed from the tip. Lillymon put a thumb on his head and circled around it, the precum lubricating her strokes. She then leaned her face down and let out her tongue, giving the head a few long licks. Terriermon almost cried out from that. She kept on licking his member, moving down to the base and then back up in a slow motion. She repeated that a few more times before she stopped the licking and moved up to the tip again, shoving his whole dick into her mouth. She began to suck his shaft thoroughly and noisily, as Terriermon was groaning heavily more and more.
Gomamon was watching in envy the whole time, feeling quite left out in this sweet ordeal. But Lillymon was planing something for him as well, as she motioned to him to get closer, right next to Terriermon. Gomamon willingly complied and stood beside his moaning friend. Lillymon used her hand that was caressing Terriermon’s balls and pushed Gomamon to lie on his back as well, his cock standing up hard and ready for action. She brought her hand to his throbbing dick and massaged it thoroughly, from the tip of the head to the base of the hilt, her mouth still doing a pleasant blowjob to Terriermon’s. As Gomamon groaned louder, Lillymon pulled Terriermon’s dick from her wet mouth and switched forth to Gomamon’s, tasting his precum that just leaked out from him as she hummed in delight. Terriermon didn’t stop his loud moaning; Lillymon kept on jerking off his dick even after she moved her sucking to Gomamon, who was also groaning in pleasure. He had never felt anything like this in his life and was enjoying it to its end. Lillymon was having fun stroking and sucking both of theirs members, switching from one cock to the other in turn and driving the both of them insane.
That continued for quite a while, until Lillymon felt Gomamon’s shaft getting hotter in her hand. She knew that he was going to cum soon, so she moved back to sucking on his throbbing penis before it did. She sucked it long and hard, causing poor Gomamon to almost faint from the pleasure. He began to hump into her throat in a fast motion, groaning madly as he finally came and shoot his sperm right into her mouth. He kept on moving his hips up her mouth, the satisfying feeling of dumping his load overwhelming him greatly. Lillymon swallowed his semen in delight, licking his dick clean, but her other hand still didn’t leave Terriermon’s, stroking it rapidly as his tension built up. He cried out in bliss when his climax hit and cummed right in her hand, which was still stroking him until every drop was spent.
Both of the males were catching their breaths after that great blowjob, panting and looking up at Lillymon as she licked her cum-covered lips.
“I hope you’ve enjoyed it.” She smiled.
“Very much…” Gomamon said, still panting.
“I guess it’s our turn now to please you.” Terriermon sat up and grinned.
“Oh, you really do know how these things run!” Lillymon giggled and gave each of them a quick kiss on the muzzle. She then laid on her back and spread her legs a little, revealing her wet cunt. “Who’s first?”
“Go ahead Gomamon, this is your big day.” Terriermon patted him on the back and gave him a light push. Gomamon staggered and then stumbled, his face falling right between Lillymon’s legs. He got up on his flippers and scratched his cheek, he wasn’t so sure about what he was supposed to do now. He then remembered that a clit is the most sensitive part in females, so he inevitably moved one paw to her clit and began to rub it slightly. A sharp whimper escaped Lillymon's lips, and that gave him a clue that he was starting well. He used one of his claws to open her clit a bit, getting it more wet, and then inserting it inside slowly. That made Lillymon jerk up a bit, her whimpers changing into moans. Gomamon began to finger her for a while, opening her clit more and entering another claw into her. She was going crazy by his teasing treatment and urged him to go further. Gomamon pulled out his flipper and gave it a lick, finding the taste of her wetness quite tasty. He decided to give it a try and began to lick her cunt, grabbing her thighs and then shoving his tongue into her pussy. Lillymon cried out in bliss and moaned loudly. Gomamon's tongue moved inside her vagina freely and thoroughly licked the walls around it, giving it a little suck in between. That felt extremely good for Lillymon, Gomamon gave her a fantastic oral for a first timer and almost made her come. He pulled his mouth out from her and was ready for more. He positioned himself so that he was between her legs and standing on his back flippers. He rested his flippers on her hips for support and brushed his dick along her clit, becoming erect again while Lillymon hissed in anticipation. He took a deep breath and then pushed his hips against her awaiting pussy, penetrating her with his shaft ever so slowly. Lillymon squealed slightly as he entered, clutching on the dirt and grass with her hands. He kept pushing and pushing, until he finally managed to get his whole length inside of her. Gomamon let out a soft sigh and then a gentle groan, feeling her tight walls closing around his dick. He then began his humping, moving his hips back and forth in a slow pace, getting used to the enthralling feeling of finally mating a female and losing his virginity. That feeling grew stronger as he sped up his motion, his member pumping inside of her and never fully leaving when he pulled out, only to shove it back inside even harder instead and make them both moan as the pleasure increased.
Terriermon was pleased to see his friend was having so much fun in his first time, yet he wasn’t going to let him hog it all to himself. He moved closer to Lillymon while she was being humped by Gomamon and stood by her side. He stretched his hands and placed them on her belly, massaging her smooth skin gently. His hands moved around her body, rubbing and pinching different parts of it. Lillymon's moaning grew much louder due to Terriermon’s fingerplay. Terriermon was having something in mind as he climbed up and sat on top of her. He sat a few inches away from her breasts and then began to play with them with his hands. He cuddled her breasts with his hands, but they were somewhat small, so he used his big ears and let them join in the fondling. His ears were caressing and cubing her breasts while his hands were pinching her tiny nipples. Lillymon couldn’t believe how good it felt, nobody had ever played with her breasts the way Terriermon was doing. Terriermon went one step further and leaned his face down to them, licking in between the boobs while his ears were still massaging them gently. He licked them a few more times till they were damp enough for him. He then sat up on her again and guided his hard cock in between her breasts. He moved his hips forward and began to hump her tits, using his ears to push them against each other and to close them around his member. He thrust back and forth, groaning pleasurably when he finally found a nice pumping rhythm. Lillymon loved the feeling of her breasts being fucked like that. She had never experienced that, neither had she ever been laid by two males at the same time before, but that turned her on even more. Two males she had only recently met, yet they were making love to her in the most fantastic way, despite their small sizes. They didn’t leave a chance for her to complain about anything as they kept on working on her, all of them moaning and groaning loudly but as less as they could so as not to wake up their sleeping human partners.
This crazy lovemaking kept going for some minutes, the three of them enjoying every second of it. Gomamon was going deeper into her with every thrust, while Terriermon was sliding between her boobs at a maddening speed. All that was driving Lillymon nuts and she couldn’t hold it any longer. Her body spasmed when she reached her orgasm, crying out sharply as her juices splashed over Gomamon’s shaft. She clenched the seal Digimon’s dick tightly when she came, pushing him to the limit as he humped into her even faster due to the lubrication. Gomamon quickly followed her and exploded inside her vagina, a long groan coming from him as he shot his white seed. Gomamon's humping got slower when his orgasm finally ended, as he pulled his member out of her pussy and lied to the side to rest, panting heavily. Terriermon's orgasm approached, but he held it off a bit and stopped pumping her breasts, getting down from her and moving in front of her cunt, wanting to have a bit more. He immediately rammed his hard throbbing shaft into her and began to hump her good, making her scream out, not in pain as her pussy was lubed by her and Gomamon's previous orgasms. Terriermon’s pumping didn’t last long due to that tit fucking, and he was ready to cum at any moment. He arched his back and closed his eyes shut, groaning madly and dumping load after load of his sperm. The rushing feeling of his cum shooting inside of her sent her to orgasm for a second time, crying in bliss and washing over Terriermon with her juices as she came even more than before. Terriermon let out a long sigh when his orgasm ended and lied on top of Lillymon, both panting nonstop. She finally sat up again when she recovered and carried both Gomamon and Terriermon in each arm, giving them a group hug.
“Oh, guys, this was the most amazing experience I had ever had!” she squealed happily.
“So, how does it feel to finally lose you virginity?” Terriermon sleazily turned to Gomamon and asked.
“Oh boy, if I knew sex was this good, I’d had done it a loooong time ago,” Gomamon answered with a smirk.
“Heh, I'm really beginning to get attached to you boys!” Lillymon chirped and kissed them on the cheek, all of them getting stinted with their own mess. “Eww, I really need a quick bath!”
“How about we all have a bath together?” Gomamon smiled, pointing to the river.
“In that cold water?! No way, no how!” Terriermon protested, before Lillymon grinned and threw him into the icy river.
“ACK! Get me outta here!” yelped Terriermon as Lillymon began to wash him while Gomamon was having a pleasant swim around the river. After they cleaned themselves, they quietly returned to their resting area and fortunately found that their partners were still soundly asleep. They lied near them and cuddled with each other. They’d surely keep this incident as a secret from the others, like it had never happened. But it’d still be engraved into their memory forever.
To be continued…
