___________________________________________________________

Jake and Gatomon traveled for what seemed like hours. The todd looked ahead and sighed as sand seemed to go for miles - no structures, no life, not even so much as a digital cactus - just sand. The sun beat down on the two, draining their strength with its burning heat as they walked, but they continued on nevertheless.

Jake checked his digivice to see how far away they were from Zhuquiaomon's lair, and sighed as he saw that it was quite a distance away. Gatomon had already expended energy trying to get them there as Angewomon, but a battle along the way forced her to revert back, and thus they were forced to continue on foot. However, the digivice did point out a place the two could rest that was nearby, it was just hidden by mirages.

"Hey Gatomon, there's a place nearby we can rest," he told his mate and picked her up onto his shoulder. Gatomon smiled as she rested there and Jake reached for a canteen of water he had strapped to his waist, letting his mate take a drink. Gatomon smiled and purred softly as Jake drank a bit of it himself, her tail waving idly as Jake's rose up to provide her some shade. Jake only took a small drink, though, and let Gatomon have most of it. He knew she would be the one doing all the fighting and thus would need it more, but he hid the fact from her as she would worry about him if she knew.

"Agh, it's so hot," Jake whimpered as the two traveled, breathing in increasingly heavy pants as the heat got to him more and more. Gatomon gazed at the fox worriedly and gave his cheek a lick. Jake's tail began to droop and he struggled to keep it up over Gatomon.

"Jake, you ok? Maybe you should have some more water," she suggested as Jake looked as though he was on the verge of collapsing. The todd looked at her wearily, but shook his head and smiled, which only made her even more worried. "Jake? You haven't been drinking enough, this kitty can tell," she scolded him and jumped off his shoulder. As she did she digivolved into Angewomon and picked him up whilst also grabbing the canteen.

"You- you shouldn't digivolve, you need your strength," Jake protested wearily, but Angewomon shook her head.

"You need yours just as much, now drink!" she scolded again and held the canteen to his lips, a bit of the water running out into his open maw. Seeing that she wasn't going to take no for an answer the fox gulped the warm water down and sighed. Angewomon smiled and replaced the canteen at Jake's waist and lifted up into the air towards the structure.

What the two arrived at was a small ruin which looked to be but a single house at one time. Bricks were strewn across the ground and the remains of walls hung up from the ground. However, much to Jake's and Angewomon's delight, there was an oasis nearby. After Jake checked his digivice to ensure it was real and not a mirage Angewomon landed right at the edge of the water and set her mate down on the soft grass near it. She filled the canteen and made the fox drink some more, then moved the weary vulpine underneath a tree for some shade.

As Jake rested Angewomon looked about the area for a moment. A slight breeze swept over the vast digital desert, but other than that no sounds could be heard. The angel then laid to rest with her mate after deciding that they were safe for the time being.

As Jake laid in the shade his mind went back to all they had gone through. Over time Angewomon was able to retain her form for longer periods. He thought of the time they first made love with her in that form. Finally they felt the bliss of mating, the ecstasy as Jake tied with his love and finally filled her womb with his seed, then falling into a deep slumber in each others arms. AS time went by, though, he felt another emptiness in his heart; one that could only be filled through having a child.

"I'm sorry, Jake, but only if you were a digimon could you ever have a child with her," Micah's words echoed in his mind. Oh, how he longed for Angewomon to produce a digi-egg from their mating, to watch it hatch and care for the young digimon, but it was not to be. Soon, his thoughts would drift further as both he and Angewomon fell into slumber.

As the two slept a figure slowly crept up to them. It hid itself in the shadows of the rubble, and its footsteps made nary a sound. From the figure came a grin as it watched the two.

'Mmm, so they're the ones. I wonder,' it thought as it crept up on Jake and Angewomon closer and closer as the two continued to doze, 'just how strong they really are.' Soon the figure stepped into the sunlight and revealed itself to be Angewomon's polar opposite, Ladydevimon. The devil woman grinned and crossed her arms as she stood over the two.

"Uhh, huh?" Angewomon mumbled as she felt a dark presence nearby which stirred her from her slumber. As she opened her eyes and her vision cleared, the sight of Ladydevimon made her yell and grab Jake, jumping back a few feet away from the she-devil. Jake yelped loudly as he was pulled so forcefully from his nap and was about to ask what was going on when he caught sight of Ladydevimon.

"And what do you want? Jake demanded as he stared at the black-clothed female digimon before him. Ladydevimon merely grinned in amusement as an answer as Angewomon put him down and faced her rival. Ladydevimon raised her left, long arm and held out the huge, grotesque claw at the angle before her. Angewomon prepared for an attack, but instead Ladydevimon merely motioned with a finger for her to come closer.

'What does this demon want?' Angewomon thought irritatingly. Coming closer to her rival seemed a foolish thing to do; the last thing the angel wanted was to walk right into a blow. "Heaven's charm!" she yelled out as an energy cross formed right in front of her to serve as a shield as she walked closer to the demon.

"Cautious are we? Heheh, that's good, always best not to walk right into a..." Ladydevimon said wryly, then in a quick motion lashed out with her huge, demonic claw and struck the barrier, "... trap." Angewomon yelled out as her shield was destroyed and quickly flew up into the air before Ladydevimon could strike again. Below Jake growled as he watched his mate narrowly avoid the blow, but kept his distance. He watched as Angewomon used her Heaven's Charm attack again, this time sending it out at her rival. Ladydevimon giggle as she flew up to avoid the attack, then sent out a wave of fire bats.

"Evil Wing!" the demon shouted and grinned as the flame-shrouded bats flew straight at Angewomon, however she dodged them and flew straight at Ladydevimon. The two exchanged blows for a while, launching attack after attack. But while Ladydevimon seemed to enjoy herself, Angewomon felt herself grow weary from the battle. Seeing this Jake pulled a stick from a nearby tree, growling, and flung it at Ladydevimon as she landed. It bounced off her black helmet, which brought her attention to the fox.

"Brave fox, aren't you. So you want to battle?" she said with a grin as she hit him hard with the back of her large, clawed hand. Jake yelped as he was sent flying and landed on his stomach a few feet away. He rolled on his back as his vision clouded, just on the verge of unconsciousness.

"Jake! Leave him alone demon! Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon demanded in deep anger and shot the light arrow straight at Ladydevimon's head. However she turned around and raised her arm, the arrow striking it instead, which caused the she-devil to scream out in pain. After a second the arrow dissipated and Ladydevimon looked over the wound.

"Impressive angel, but lets see you handle this!" she giggled and grinned as she was already flying straight at Angewomon at a great speed. "Vile Wing!" she cackled as she thrust her huge claw at her rival again. Angewomon dodged it, but a subsequent close-range Evil Wing attack made contact. Angewomon screamed in pain as the fire bats engulfed her, leaving singe marks upon her flesh and burning off parts of her clothing. As she fell from the sky, her energy depleted, she reverted to Gatomon and landed on the grass nearby Jake.

As the two looked up at the one who defeated them, their vision blurred, and another figure walked up besides Ladydevimon. "They're quite strong, I really enjoyed myself," Ladydevimon said with a giggle and the two walked off. "I really hope to fight them again, it's been a while..." At this point Jake and Gatomon finally fell unconscious before they could hear anymore.

"Argh," Jake grumbled as his eyes slit open and colors swirled around before him. As his vision adjusted he slowly stood up and looked about. He held his head and shook it as it ached from what happened earlier. After a moment he saw Gatomon nearby just waking up herself as she slowly got to her feet. She stumbled for a bit before Jake caught and helped her steady herself and the two walked near the water's edge.

"Well, we're still alive," Jake said as he took a drink and splashed his face. Gatomon nodded and followed suit and the two sat there, wondering who the figure with Ladydevimon was and why they attacked them, but didn't finish them off.

"Well, lets figure it out later," Jake sighed and lifted Gatomon onto his shoulder. Gatomon looked at him a little hesitantly, but then nodding after only a moment.

"Yeah, though the next time we meet them, this kitty's gonna win!" Gatomon chirped up and giggled, which garnered a chuckle from Jake as they continued on their journey. The two traveled for a few hours more through the sweltering heat until they came across a large stone temple. It towered over the two, and as they looked up at it they saw a statue of Zhuqiaomon carved directly into it.

"Hmm, this is definitely it," Jake said as he approached the huge front doors and pushed on them. He grunted as they gave and swung open to grant entrance to the Sovereign's palace. Throughout the place runes were etched on the walls, and statues of Zhuqiaomon were placed along the left- and right-hand walls leading into darkness. "Hello?" Jake called out as he and Gatomon looked about, the kitty getting a bad feeling from the ominous atmosphere of the chamber.

"Grrr, who dares enter my palace?!" A voice boomed out from the darkness and Jake glared in its direction, preparing himself for an attack. Suddenly a huge fireball flew at the two and they jumped out of the way in opposite directions. "Graahh!" the deep voice roared as fireball after fireball were flung at the two. They dodged each one swiftly and Jake, seeing a sword on the floor, grabbed in and ran into the darkness.

"Jake!" Gatomon called out as she heard the sword he held clash until he came flying out towards the feline. She quickly caught him and set him on the floor, and Jake got up onto his feet, not really hurt.

"Haha! Well, I'm glad to see Azulongmon didn't choose a couple weaklings as his realm's protectors!" the voice boomed out again as a fiery light pierced the darkness and the form of the Master Zhuqiaomon was revealed. Jake and Gatomon looked up at the firebird as his fire energy cast a gentle glow upon the two. As they gazed upon him something quickly became clear to Jake and Gatomon; his form was transparent and ghostly, as they could make out the wall behind where he perched.

"So, that's it," Jake said, his eyes serious and knowing, and Gatomon looked up at the fox, confused.

"What?" she asked as she wondered why the Sovereign was like that.

"When he hit me, it wasn't a very strong blow," Jake explained as he rubbed his chin. "Now I see why the Sovereigns no longer can hold the evil off," Jake finished and sighed as Zhuqiaomon nodded and roared.

"Yes, me, as well as the other masters have been sealed away in another realm! I swear, if I ever get my wings on the one who did this, I'll burn him to cinders!" Zhuqiaomon shouted as another roar escaped him, causing the place to shake. Jake and Gatomon tried to steady themselves from the sudden quake and dust fell from the ceiling. Soon Zhuqiaomon calmed down and grumbled as he pointed at a nearby door. "What I brought you to see is beyond there. The partner of my realm's protector is standing over his grave..." the master said with a heavy sigh and a bit of sadness in his voice before he disappeared.

Gatomon gasped and Jake blinked at the words "his grave" and rushed through the door as Zhuqiaomon left their presence. As they entered they saw a Leomon sitting in the midst of a bed of flowers, a tombstone right next to the lion digimon. He wore a chain around his neck with a blue digivice attached to it, and his eyes were closed as if in a meditative state.

"Are... you Jake?" Leomon asked somberly and slowly raised his head, his eyes opening to gaze at the two. Jake nodded in response and looked over to the tombstone. On it was a written language often used by the Sovereigns, but Jake had been taught to read it in his studies. As he did so his eyes went wide and his mouth gaped as he recognized the name.

"Mark?!" he gasped and began to tremble as he stumbled over to the grave and fell to his knees. Tears flowed from his eyes as Gatomon walked up to the fox and placed her paw on his arm.

"Who is he?" Gatomon asked as she looked up at her mate. Jake's mind went back six years as he thought of the day he was lost in the woods.

"He... was one of my friends. While the others tried to taunt me into going into the woods alone, h-he was the only one who... t-tried to convince me not to," Jake stuttered as he remembered his old friends. "He was a reliable one, too. If you needed him, he was there."

"He told me much about you," Leomon then spoke up as he rose to his feet and looked at his late partner's digivice. "He told me he came through the same portal as you, yet was brought here instead. He had great honor, and protected me against an attack, the one that took his life..." Leomon said and his voice trailed off as he looked away from Jake. "I should have been the one to protect him, to have taken the blow, but he jumped right in front of the attack and I could not move him in time."

Jake gazed up at Leomon and nodded as he forced himself onto his feet as well, placing a paw on the lion's shoulder. "That sure does sound like him. I remember him doing the same for me back in school, running right in front of a punch meant for me to try and stop a fight. He never liked to see anyone get hurt," the fox told Leomon and he gazed back at Jake. After a moment Leomon turned around to face him.

"Here, take this," the lion said and took off the digivice, handing it to Jake. Jake tried to refuse, saying that Leomon should have it but he shook his head and closed Jake's paws over the device. "Mark told me to give it to you. I cannot use it myself, but perhaps you can," Leomon insisted and Jake nodded. He looked at the blue digivice as the Crest of Reliability was shown on its screen, his mind now resting on what should be done next.

"Leomon," Jake started as he pocked the small device and looked up to the lion. "Who did this?" he finished as Jake now gazed back at the grave. Leomon growled slightly as he pondered the question, his eyes shut tight and his fist clenched.

"It was Myotismon. He came with many other digimon. Many of the good digimon fought back, and many were killed on both sides. I faced Myotismon myself, but without being able to reach Ultimate I could not win. He... used Crimson Lightning and struck out at me with it, but Mark jumped right in front..." Leomon said as a tear fell from his eye, but retained his composure, and as he openend his eyes they were filled with a great strength. Jake growled to himself as he thought of his friend sacrificing himself like that.

"Thanks Leomon," Jake then said to the lion as he picked Gatomon up onto his shoulder and started out the door. Leomon said his own farewell in response and watched as Jake exited from the temple. As he did Gatomon gently petted him, her own expression growing soft after hearing all of that.

"Mark..." Jake muttered as he looked down, then suddenly and to Gatomon's surprise he banged his fist on a stone column. "I... I can't believe I lost him," the todd almost sobbed as tears matted his fur. Right then he really wanted just to curl up somewhere, but he quickly shook the feeling as he knew he had to find the Myotismon and avenge his friend's death. Gatomon, now with a quite solemn look on her muzzle turned her gaze away from Jake as she thought of what her mate had just lost. Various thoughts swirled through her mind, but she shook them away as Jake soon began to trudge through the desert once more.

Some hours later Jake and Gatomon found themselves at another oasis. The sun had begun its descent past the horizon and the two prepared for what they hoped would be a peaceful night's sleep, though it didn't seem likely. Along the way from Zhuqiaomon's temple they were met by enemy after enemy, all proclaiming to be Myotismon's servants. So far they had won each battle without too much trouble, which actually made them question just how great of a threat they were dealing with, but that lasted only a moment as they remembered that Mark and Leomon were defeated by this evil digimon.

As Jake prepared a place to sleep Gatomon sat by the side of the water as her mind went back to her thoughts earlier. She thought of how she and Jake could not have a child together, and how Jake wanted one so much. It brought tears to her and she sniffled thinking all of this. All she wanted was for him to be happy. She loved him so much, and wanted him to have a child, but she couldn't give one to him.

"Gatomon? What's wrong?" Jake asked from behind her, having noticed her crying. He picked her up into his arms and licked the tears from around her eyes as she cuddled into his embrace.

"I... I'm sorry, Jake," she stuttered and sniffled again. "You've wanted a child for so many years now, but I can't give you one." Jake meeped at her words and nuzzled her gently. As he did Gatomon petted his snout and licked his cheek. "Zhuqiaomon said there were others. I... I would understand if you looked for someone who-" was all she could get out before Jake shushed the kitty and gazed at her seriously.

"Gatomon, I could never do that!" Jake said as he gazed down at her. "You are my mate. I know what Micah said, and that's ok. Even if we can't have children together, just being with you is all I need. I love you, and will always be with you, like I always have," he finished as his eyes softened. As their eyes locked Gatomon could tell he meant every single word. She smiled and nodded as she curled up once more into his arms. Jake smiled and licked his little mate as he sat on a sleeping bag that he had set up. Suddenly Gatomon walked away from his arms and digivolved into Angewomon, then smiled back to the fox.

The angel sat next to Jake and took off her helmet to reveal her face. Jake smiled as he looked over her long, golden hair, the gazed into her beautiful, sky-blue eyes. He then reached out and began to pull off her clothes, starting with the golden, wing-shaped plates covering her breasts. As they came off Jake seized the opportunity to rub the mounds with his red-furred paws, which brought gentle moans from the angel before him.

"Mmm, please, go on," Angewomon consented and Jake replied by slowly pulling down the white clothes that covered her. His finger traced down the middle of Angewomon's chest and stomach as he did so, then brought his paws to rub over her belly and his tongue flicked out to lick over it. Angewomon sighed happily at the sensations as she petted Jakes head and rubbed his ears, which earned her gentle murrs from the fox as he resumed pulling off her clothes.

"I love you Angewomon," Jake said softly as she now stood before him naked. He moved his maw in to lap at the small mound before him, his tongue moving over the soft petals of her sex. Angewomon shuddered at the feelings that rushed through her, pressing at the appendage as it pushed into her tunnel, forcing a moan to escape her throat.

Jake licked about Angewomon's walls, enjoying the taste as her pre leaked into his awaiting maw. He felt her passage constrict and vibrate as he pressed his muzzle in to lick deeper, Angewomon's hips swaying back and forth as his ears picked up her gasps and moans. Slowly he reached up with a paw to stroke over one of her wings, which served to bring even more pleasure to her shaking frame.

Angewomon cried out as she felt the tongue lick on her cervix. It wouldn't be long before Jake was rewarded with a gush of Angewomon's juices. He quickly pulled his muzzle out as the liquids flowed over his face and down his throat, soaking both his fur and the ground below him. Angewomon breathed heavily as she recovered, but knew it wasn't over yet as she quickly smelled the fox's musk, Jake having become quite aroused.

Jake smiled as he slowly took hold of Angewomon and laid her down with one arm, using his free paw to undo his pants and pull them down. He sighed silently as his shaft was released into the air and his musk became even stronger. Angewomon smiled as she took hold of the pulsating rob and guided it to her sex, and Jake smiled back and looked into her eyes lovingly as their lips met and he pushed into her depths.

"Nnng," they both moaned out in unison through their maws as Jake's length glided into his love. As each inch pressed into her they held each other tightly, until Jake was hilted in her, and then wrapped his tail around her as he thrust into Angewomon's sex. As he parted his lips from hers moans escaped them both as the pleasure built up, then slowly began to knead Angewomon's breasts as he continued to thrust into her.

"Ahh, more, p-please!" Angewomon yelled as she felt Jake's maw and tongue on her tits, her hand rubbing his head fur as he flicked his tongue over her nipples. Jake let escape pleasured yips and barks as he soon felt his knot begin to swell and pound against his mate's petals.

"Ah, A-ange- womon, I'm g-getting close!" Jake nearly howled as the pleasure began to mount. He looked straight into her eyes pleadingly, and Angewomon gazed right back, the globes expressing her love for her mate just as his knot popped into her sex and sent them both over the edge.

Angewomon yelled and Jake howled in pure bliss as their fluids sprung forth. Jake emptied deep into her womb as he felt Angewomon's juices flood over his shaft, the two lost in the ecstasy as their bodies thrashed and quaked. Soon they both collapsed from the experience, Angewomon on the ground and Jake on her as they both panted in exhaustion. She smiled at him as the two rolled over on their sides, soon planting kisses over each other's faces. Eventually they drifted off to sleep in each others' arms.

"Jake, Jake! Wake up!" the voice of Gatomon soon brought the vulpine from his slumber. He awoke quickly, thinking there was an enemy nearby from the urgency in Gatomon's voice. However, what he saw was quite different. He let out a shocked gasp as he looked down at Gatomon, his maw gaped and his eyes wide at what he saw.
