Mary had always been an early riser,  \neven as a child. Reluctantly she slipped from the warm spot next to her fuzzy  \nlion lover and crawled over to what was left of the fire that had been heating  \ntheir cave hideaway.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\u0026nbsp;The fire had died sometime during the night, leaving the cave in  \ncold darkness. All that was left of the fire's warmth giving light were a few  \nglowing embers. Taking a stick from the nearby pile of wood, Mary set about  \ndigging through the ash, raking all the hot coals together in a small pile. God  \nit was amazing. Her father had been right when he said that girl scouts would  \ngive her the skills to survive in the world.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;Little did she believe it would be the digi-world.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;Taking a handful of toilet paper, something she had liberated  \nfrom the train because she wasn't about to use unknown plant life to wipe her  \nbackside. She wrapped a generous amount around a few twigs and placed the  \nbundle on the hot embers. In no time she had a small flame going which, with  \njust the right sticks and a few well-chosen logs from the stack of wood, became a nice roaring fire once again.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;Soon there was more then enough light and heat to make the stone  \ncavern livable once again. With that done she stood and took stock of the  \nothers still snoozing away. Leo was still asleep behind her but without Mary  \nsnuggled into the crook of his arm, he had rolled onto  \nhis side and was now hogging the blankets. She could even feel the cave floor  \nvibrate slightly at his heavy snoring. The redhead smiled, she had become so  \nused to his thrumming that she couldn't remember how she ever slept without  \nit.\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\u0026nbsp;Turning slightly Mary looked to the back of the cavern where Dee  \nwas. The large flat rock she was laying against jetted from the ground at an  \nodd angle, giving the demon a reclining look. Meanwhile Brian, Dee's new pet,  \nwas curled up next to his mistress, his head cradled in her lap. The two looked  \nso happy together under his dark cape. Hard to believe that  \n18 hours ago, Brian had wanted to kill team 1... ok maybe just her brother.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;_Speaking of which..._**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Looking across the dancing fire, Mary found her brother Axel still  \nresiding in dreamland, sleeping back to back with his yellow mate. Mary  \ncouldn't help but smile, Axel was right; Rena was cute in the way she slept.  \nShe was curled up, her knees almost touching her chest, hugging her long fluffy  \ntail as it wrapped about her. She was even sucking her thumb...**\n\n  \n  \n\n**But Mary's smile died as she looked to Axel. Her brother was spooning  \nwith the only other human female of the group, Kimmy. Her daughter was pressed  \nagainst Axel, her backside snuggled tightly to his... But that wasn't all, for  \nAxel had one arm draped over Kimmy's side. What was worse was that the teen had  \npulled his arm up and was hugging it to her chest, trapping it between her  \nyoung breasts.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**And then there was Cleo, Kimmy's Gatomon. She was lying atop the  \nblanket that covered the three bodies below her. The cat was draped over Axel  \nand Kimmy and was sound asleep. Somehow, like all cats, she made the unusual  \nposition she was in look absolutely comfortable.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Mary wanted desperately to rush over and kick her brother awake so she  \ncould bitch him out. She wanted to protect her daughter from becoming the adult  \nthe teen already was. With a sigh, Mary sat down next to the fire to reflect on  \nall that had happened since leaving California, '_God was that just a month  \nago_ ?'**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Mary almost couldn't comprehend just how much her life had changed. The  \nloss of her husband of 12 years to some bimbo, finding out her daughter was bi  \nand having sex with her pet talking cat from another world, the knowledge that  \nher brother wasn't human anymore and that his other half was a evil digi-god,  \nand finally there's the 7 foot tall lion-man that she herself was now in love  \nwith.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Oh... lets not forget that Axel and Black raped Kimmy,_' Mary's  \nmind stated sarcastically. '_Or that Kimmy can't wait to have sex with either  \nof them yet again... but why shouldn't they_ ?'**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**Mary blinked as the question popped into her head, this wasn't the  \nfirst time it had entered her thoughts either. She had asked herself that same  \nquestion just before her little adventure in the shower, the one where she had  \nfirst fantasized about Leomon. '_So why shouldn't Kimmy  \nbe allowed to be one of Axel's Beta's?_ ' her mind asked yet again. '_Because it's immoral to have sex with a family member_?'**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_But Axel isn't genetically Kimmy's uncle, nor is Kimmy truly  \nrelated to Axel... No! Don't think about that_ ,' the redhead flinched. Her  \nthoughts seemed to be taking things into their own hands and she had to take  \ncontrol. '_I gave birth to Kimmy so that makes her my daughter and Axel's  \nniece... but yet_ ?'**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Mary was suddenly snapped out of her deep thought when she heard a  \nnoise from the other side of the fire. By now the blaze in front of her had  \ndied down a little and she could see the 4 bodies on the other side through the  \nflames. Across from her Axel was slowly waking up and Mary found herself  \nwatching her brother intently, waiting to see what his reaction would be at  \nwaking up snuggling Kimmy.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**Axel groaned slightly as his sluggish brain started to work. Though  \nstill somewhat asleep, it wasn't hard to figure out that he had a shapely  \nfemale in his arms. Nor was it hard to figure out that her backside was  \npressing pleasantly into his groin, causing his dick to spring to life and  \npress against her ass. With his eyes still closed, he leaned in close and  \nlovingly kissed her neck, warm lips meeting smooth skin...**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Wait a sec... where was Rena's fur_?' his  \nmind asked through its fog filled haze.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Axel's eyes sprang open and he saw for the first time, that it was  \nKimmy who was in his arms. What's more, the teen had reacted to the kiss by  \ngroaning happily and thrusting her ass back onto his hard tool. Yet there was  \nalso something pressing against his back, and a heavy weight atop him, all  \nkeeping him from escaping the teen. Taking a deep breath and trying to relax,  \nAxel quickly took stock of his situation.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Ok, Rena was behind him, Cleo was on top, and Kimmy was hugging his arm  \nto her chest... Axel swallowed hard for he could feel the warmth of the teen's  \nbreasts pressing against his forearm. Of course none of this helped,  \nin fact it was just making things more complicated. As for his hard tool, it  \nwas now a raging shaft begging to be unleashed against the tight young ass  \npressing back onto it. \"...Oh hell...,\" he whimpered in a soft voice, then...**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\u0026nbsp;Mary blinked, she had seen Axel's eyes snap open, and the  \nhorrified look in them as he realized that it was Kimmy he was making out with...  \nthen he was gone. Axel had disappeared again, teleporting away just when things  \nwere getting good... '_No! Don't think that way!'_ She sighed inwardly_._**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"How long have you been watching?\" Axel's voice came from behind the  \nredhead.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"A few minutes now,\" she said softly as her brother stepped up beside  \nher.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I... I'm sorry.\" Axel sighed as he looked over at the still sleeping  \nfigures. \"I didn't mean for that to happen, hell I didn't even know it was  \nKimmy until...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"It's ok Axel.\" Mary cut in. \"It's not your fault that Kimmy snuck over  \nto sleep with you during the night.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Err... she did?\" he blinked**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yeah,\" she nodded before pointing off to her left at the unused  \nsleeping bag. \"I remember that she and Cleo were lying down near me before I  \ndrifted off to sleep.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"...Oh...\" said a relieved Axel.\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"However!\"** **Mary challenged,  \nher voice stern. \"It doesn't excuse that...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Huh?\" he blinked as he looked at were she was looking, right at the  \ntent in his pants. \"Oh shit...err... sorry about that,  \ntoo.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**Mary quickly hid the smile that flooded her lips, it wasn't everyday  \nthat she could get Axel to squirm like this. Yet she didn't have the heart to  \nkeep it up for long. Axel was a good guy and it's not like he really enjoyed  \nthe thought of being with Kimmy. \"Axel,\" she said as she looked up, \"I think its time we had a little chat.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Ok,\" Axel nodded as he suppressed a shiver, the image of Black sitting  \natop a train quickly flashing through his brain.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Wow, flashback!_' Black added  \nas he popped into view... well Axel's view.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Come, sit, we need to talk.\" She continued, patting the ground next to  \nher.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"May I ask,\" Axel arched an eyebrow, nearby Black was blinking in  \ndisbelief. \"What are we going to talk about?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"**** About life, the universe, and... everything ****,****\" she shrugged.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Damn, talk about de-ja-vu_.'  \nBlack shivered. '_Didn't we already have this  \nconversation once, in an earlier chapter_ ?'**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Earlier\u0026nbsp; what_****?' Axel questioned the digi-god.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Nothing, nothing...'_ Black  \nsaid, he had suddenly found the walls of the cave very  \ninteresting.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**'_Black?_'**  **Axel pressed**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_It's nothing, really_.' Black  \nsmiled as he began to fad out. '_Shouldn't you be  \npaying attention... your sisters is trying to tell you something._ '**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Umm... ok, shoot.\" Axel shook his head as he slowly sank down next to  \nhis older sister.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Do you find Kimmy attractive?\" The redhead asked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Axel nearly fell over at his sister's bluntness. Needless to say, he  \nwasn't expecting to be hit by that bombshell so early in the morning. \"What the?\" Axel stuttered, looking more then shocked, \"What does that have to do with life,  \nthe universe, and everything?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Kimmy is my daughter,\" she stated as she shot a warning glance  \nat her brother. \"She is my**    \n**life, my universe, and my  \neverything... same goes for Leo. Now it's high time you and I talked about  \nhow you will be affecting her life and mine from now on.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"...Ok...\" was all he could think of to say.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Well?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Well... what?\"**  **Axel asked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Axel,\" Mary blinked as she looked at her brother, disbelief showing on  \nher face. \"Are you going to answer my question,\" she demanded, \"or dance around  \nthe subject until I forget what I asked?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"I (cough) thought I'd just duck the whole thing.\" He shrugged.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Well you can't.\" She snorted, ignoring the weak smile on his lips.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Umm, Ok,\" he nodded... then blinked. \"Err, what was the question again?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**To answer her brother, Mary balled her hand into a fist and raised it  \nthreateningly.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Ok, ok...\" Axel sighed. This wasn't something he wanted to be doing this  \nmorning, not when Team 1 was so close to their goal. There were still things to  \ndo before tomorrow, like doing recon on the makeshift prison at Rena's village.  \nYet he also knew that this was something that needed to be addressed as well.  \n\"I...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Axel, before you say a thing,\" Mary cut him off, her steely gaze  \nboring into his eyes. \"Remember that I could always tell when you weren't  \ntelling the truth. So you had best think long and hard before giving me an answer.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Axel stayed quiet for a long time, searching his mind and heart for the  \nproper answer for his older sister. How do you weigh the love you have for  \nsomeone else. Is it physical love, as in what you feel during sex? Is it from  \nthe heart, the type that you feel toward family and close friends? Or is it  \nspiritual, as in finding your soul mate, the person who completes you in every  \nway and makes life worth living.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**Axel had found the latter in Rena, a kindred soul who breathed life  \nback into his stagnant existence.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**But what of Kimmy, what part did she play in his life... or better yet,  \nwhat part did he want her to play? It was true that the blond teen had been  \ncrucial in helping him and Black come to terms, resolving their differences and  \nbecoming something new. Yet what did Axel feel toward his niece? From somewhere  \ndeep inside him, an answer came floating  \nup.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Kimmy is family, I see her as my niece and yet, there is something  \nmore to her.\" Axel whispered to his sister as she watched him intently. He was  \ntrying to do this right so with a slight shrug he pushed on. \"I never would  \nhave dreamed that I... that she and I would have ever done what we did. Kimmy may  \nhave harbored thoughts of having sex with me, but it never once entered my  \nmind... until...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Until when?\"** **Mary asked, her  \nvoice soft.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Until that night when she kissed me.\"** **Axel was now looking into the fire as he  \nconfessed to Mary. For some reason, staring into the orange  \nflamed helped him to open up. \"She awoke something in me that night,  \nsomething that would have stayed dead or hidden if it wasn't for that kiss. You  \nwouldn't believe the thoughts and feelings I had as she held onto me. I wanted  \nto dive into her right then and there, yet I held enough respect for her to not  \ngive in... I still do.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Yet you did sleep with my baby,\" Mary pressed, taking advantage of  \nAxel's current state to find out all she could.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Well,\" Axel sighed heavily, \"that was inevitable. Kimmy opened that  \ndoor when she kissed me... But it was Black who finally walked through. If you've  \nnoticed, I have done my best to keep a little distance between Kimmy and myself  \nuntil that night in the tunnel. Hell I still want to throw up when I think  \nabout what they did down there... but yet, there is part of me that wishes for it  \nto happen again.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"That's rather nice of you to say bro.\" Mary smiled as she reached out  \nand gently placed a hand on his shoulder. \"I appreciate your honesty.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I never meant to do her any harm.\" He added. \"And I'd take it all back  \nif I could.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"It's ok,\" she nodded as she turned to watch the fire. \"I like that you  \nstill respect Kimmy and I know you didn't intend for things to turn out like  \nthey have.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Gee,\" Axel said, feeling tones better. \"Thanks Mary.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Your welcome,\" she nodded before hauling off and hitting his arm with  \nall she had.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Hey!\" he hissed as he quickly began to rub the pain away. It wasn't a  \nforceful punch, at least not to Axel, but never the less it got his attention.  \n\"What the hell was that for?**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yes, that was a very nice speech you just gave, little brother.\" Mary  \nsaid as she flexed her hand. \"But you still haven't answered my first question... Do you find Kimmy attractive?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yes...\" Axel pouted while still rubbing his arm. \"Yes I find Kimmy  \nattractive. She's smart, she's funny, and she isn't afraid of getting close to  \nBlack in more ways then one...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Thank you,\" Mary smiled, \"now was that so hard to say?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"That depends,\" Axel snorted as he crossed his arms in a huff.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Now for my second question...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Oh great.\"** **Said a sarcastic Axel.  \n\"What now?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Will you accept responsibility for any and all  \nchildren you father with Kimmy?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;Axel sat in stunned silence while his sister waited patiently for  \nhis response. Unknown to the two siblings, others in the cave had begun to wake  \nand were instantly captivated by their discussion. Everyone waited, hanging  \nonto Axel's silence, wanting to hear his next words.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Mary,\" he finally said after what felt like an eternity. \"I don't know  \nif I can.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"What!\" Mary barked as she spun on her brother, her face turning red  \nwith anger. \"You would make my daughter raise your bastard children alone?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Whoa! Hold the phone!\" Axel quickly raised his hands in defense, his sister looked ready to kill him. \"That's not  \nwhat I meant Mary... you know I would never do that to anyone.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"No, no you wouldn't.\" she slowly tilted her head in thought. \"So what  \ndid you mean?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Humans and digimon can't inter breed.\" Axel clarified in a rush.  \n\"Human DNA needs other human DNA to reproduce. Since I'm part digimon, there is  \na chance that I can't have children with anyone but Rena.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"...What?\" Mary asked in a suddenly soft voice**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Well you see... that is...\" Axel tried to go on, but couldn't. Before him,  \nMary looked like she was about to cry. Her face had suddenly turned ash gray  \nand her bottom lip was quivering. \"Mary?\" he blinked, tilting his head to one  \nside. \"Did I say something wrong?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Leo's a digimon.\" She whispered**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Yeah,\" Axel nodded.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"But I'm human.\" She was now whimpering.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I know,\" he nodded again.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I... we can't have children?\" she asked in dismay. \"I'll never be able  \nto give him cubs of our own?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Oh that,\" Axel chuckled as he waved a hand, trying to dismiss her  \nfear. \"I kinda figured that you two would want kids of your own, so I took the  \nliberty and tweaked your DNA with Leo's code.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"WHAT!!\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Axel cringed at the cacophony of voices that echoed back and forth off  \nthe stone cavern walls. Quickly, while Mary sat there with her mouth agape,  \nAxel stood and found that everyone was awake and staring at him. '_Oh shit,  \nI'm a dead man_ .' He thought as he began to slowly back away from the rest  \nof Team 1.\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_If you die, does that mean I get full  \ncontrol over your body_ ?' Black asked from inside Axel's head. '_Or do I have to go back to the void and wait until a new  \nkey comes along?_ '**\n\n  \n  \n\n**_Axel \u0026 Rena._**  **_Chap 36_**\n\n  \n  \n\n**The wind kicked up slightly, causing the leaves on the braches to  \nrustle around Axel and Rena. Currently they were lying between two bushes,  \nhiding atop a nice sized hill just outside of Kitsune village. From here they  \ncould see the entire town laid out before them, and  \nthe army camped out around it. To Axel, the town looked rather odd, as if it  \nwere pieced together from bits of Japan's history.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**The outskirts of the village was surrounded by rice fields and small  \nhuts, yet it became more advanced as you got closer to the town's square. The  \nhuts were made of wood, straw, and thatch, god they looked rather flimsy. Yet  \nsoon they gave way too much stronger pagodas of wood and stone. These homes and  \nsmall shops gave way too much more modern brick and mortar buildings near the  \ntown's square.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Is there a reason why none of the buildings are over three stories  \ntall?\" asked Axel as he surveyed the town through binoculars.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"It's just a small village dear.\" Rena said from his side. \"There were  \nonly about a thousand of us living in the valley before I left, and most of  \nthem liked being farmers. Unlike Cincinnati, we have no need of skyscrapers  \nhere.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Were everybody knows your name... and they're always glad you came.\"  \nAxel sang quietly, this of course quickly got his shoulder playfully slapped by  \nhis mate.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;Axel shook his head before  \nturning his attention back to the town... his eyes coming to rest on the  \nfountain. It was a massive bit of artwork that sat in the middle of the town's  \nsquare, nearly 25 to 30 feet from end to end with a life-sized statue of a  \nfemale Sakuyamon in its center. She was made of bronze and black marble, and  \nwas standing atop a stone alter. Water cascaded from the back of the statue's  \nhead, simulating the Sakuyamon's silver hair. While more water spat forth from  \nher outstretched holy staff, a liquid representation of the magic the female  \ndigimon possessed.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**All in all, the village looked rather quaint... if you didn't mind the  \ndouble, 15-foot tall fence topped with razor wire that cut the town neatly in  \ntwo.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**The fence enclosed the northern half of the village, from the square on  \nup... yet stopped just short of the first farmstead. This meant that nearly the  \nentire populous of the valley was being forced to live in an aria 1/3ed its  \nnormal size. Yet this didn't take into account the other mish-mosh of nightmare  \nsolder digimon that had been taken prisoner by Fuzzywig on his march here. Nor  \ndid it take into account, according to Brian, that Josh had moved all 74 of his  \nchildren hostages and their digimon into the makeshift prison as well.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**It reminded Axel of a WWII concentration camp. God it made him sick  \njust to look at it.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**((Though Japan and Germany were notorious for their war camps  \nand treatment of their prisoners during WWII, America too had its fair share of  \nconcentration camps within its own boarders. We like to think that the rounding  \nup of people and treating them like cattle was something that only happened in  \nGermany. Yet just after Pearl Harbor, we Americans did the same thing to anyone  \nof Japanese decent... They were herded from the cities they lived in, their lands  \nand property sold, and shipped to the desert to live in tents. It was a dark  \ntime in our history and I for one send out my deepest apologies to the  \nsurvivors, their children, and their grand children.))\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"So what do you think?\" Rena asked, her voice quivering.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"That this won't be easy...\" Axel replied. \"But if we play our cards  \nright, we should survive this.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"How many will get hurt or die?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"On their side... all.\"** **Axel said softly, and then sighed. \"But to  \nbe honest, I just don't know.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Rena was quiet for some time, letting her mate survey the sad sight  \nbelow, when he suddenly stiffened. Rena felt him jerk and shiver as his  \nfeelings began to run cold. Before she could ask what was wrong, Axel handed  \nher his binoculars and pointed. \"Down in the square, just passing the  \nfountain,\" He whispered. \"The figure wearing the red 'n'  \nwhite fur cape.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Rena took the field glasses and looked. It didn't take long for her to  \nspot the human, as Axel had said; the person was dressed in a bright red cape  \nwith white fur trim. As she watched, the human turned and Rena got a really  \ngood look at the figure. \"Ok,\" she nodded. \"So who's the girl?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"That's Josh...\" Axel answered.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Rena almost dropped the binoculars. Finally, after all this time, she  \nhad glimpsed the face of the man who had taken over her village and wanted to  \nkill her and her mate... the infamous Fuzzywig.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**To her surprise, Josh was of Asian descent... she didn't know why, but  \nshe had always pictured him as Caucasian. He had a pleasant, almost doll like  \nface with a small nose and slightly pointed chin that gave him a feminine look.  \nHe also had long raven black hair that framed his face and was tied back in a  \nponytail. To top it off, he had glasses, huge wire rimmed glasses. To Rena, Josh  \nlooked like a young pretty, all be it a very flat chested... girl.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Tell me you're joking.\" Rena asked as she looked on.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"The tall, flat chested, Asian girl?\"**  **Axel asked**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yeah...\" Rena blinked as she rolled onto her side and regarded her mate.  \n\"That's Josh?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"That's Josh.\" Axel  \nnodded.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Definitely not what I was expecting.\"**  **Rena said as she shook her head.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I know what you mean.\" Her mate answered. \"Josh used to get picked on  \na lot at school because of how he looked, especially by the football team.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I can see why he would turn to those role playing games.\" The fox said  \nas she again turned to watch Josh.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yeah, it was his only escape from reality.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Hmmm... now that I see him,\" Rena's ears drooped as she talked. \"I can't  \nhelp but feel sorry for him... even if he does want to kill you.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Gee, thanks.\" Axel remarked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"See anything you like?\" asked a voice from behind the lovers. \"If not,  \nthen I could possibly get you a closer look.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Both Rena and Axel had been waiting most of the day for someone to come  \nalong and find them, this way they could be captured instead of having to  \nsurrender... less questioning that way. As far as Axel was concerned, this guy  \nwas late. Slowly, with a sigh, they both turned onto their sides and looked up  \nat a male Renamon.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**He stood just over 6 foot high and had the brightest blue fur Axel had  \never seen. Yet his gloves, the yin-yang symbol on his legs and the colored part  \nof his eyes were... yellow. \"Hello again... runt.\" He  \nsneered as he crossed his arms. \"I almost didn't recognize you from behind...  \nlooks like being in the human world has filled you out quite nicely.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yeah, well don't get any bright ideas,\" Rena hissed, her ears laying  \nback in anger as she recognized the male. \"You had your chance a long time ago  \nand blew it.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"We made good friends once Renamon.\" the blue Renamon stated. \"But to  \nhave a runt for a mate... I don't think so. Besides, your clan had plans for  \nyou.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Well this is awkward_.' Axel thought as he looked between the  \ntwo Renamon.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_You're telling me..._' replied  \nBlack from inside Axel's head. '_It's never good  \nmeeting any of your wife's ex-boyfriends._ '**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Plans?\"** **Rena blinked in disbelief; then turned and  \npointed back down at the village below. \"Look were  \ntheir plans have landed them, the valley is under siege and most of the town is  \nimprisoned... all because my clan had plans for me.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"It's a tragedy I know.\" Nodded Blue.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"A tragedy?\" scoffed Rena with a roll of her eyes. \"I call it poetic  \njustice.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Justice... how?\"**  **Blue asked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Here I am, a runt...\" snorted Rena. \"And it's  \nup to me to save an ungrateful village full of hypocrites.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"You're not going to be saving anyone as long as you're your pure.\"  \nBlue shot back. \"You're a danger to everyone as long as you're a virgin...  \nRemember, Fuzzywig needs the untainted blood of your clan to call forth the  \nevil one.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"He can try...\" Axel sighed; he had just finished stuffing his binoculars  \ninto his backpack and was standing up to leave. He had gotten bored at  \nlistening to the two Renamon argue and was ready to head down to the village  \nand see Josh without them.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"And who might you be?\" Blue demanded as he moved to block Axel's path.  \n\"No, let me guess, you're the runt's tamer aren't you?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"He is not my tamer.\" Rena stated before Axel could respond.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"He isn't?\" blinked Blue, \"Then who is he and why is he here?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"His name is Axel,\" she said as she crossed her arms, \"and he's my  \nmate.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Your... mate?\" Blue blinked several times, his mind barely grasping  \nRena's words. Slowly the repercussions from what she had just said began to  \nform in the male Renamon's brain. \"You took a mate?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yep!\"** **Rena smiled as she stepped around Blue and  \nhurried to catch up with Axel, who was now walking down the hill towards the  \nvillage.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"She took a mate?\" Blue blinked again in disbelief. With a final shrug  \nhe turned and ran after the lovers. \"You really took a human as a mate?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Actually,\" Axel called back. \"I took her to be mine... she accepted.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"But...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"We have been lovers for some time now.\" Rena agreed as she took her  \nspot at Axel's side. \"And now I am his legal wife as well.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"But...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"You do realize that my mom will want a full wedding once we get back?\"  \nAxel asked as he reached out and took Rena's hand. \"Bridesmaids, flowers, cake...  \nthe whole fucking sha-bang.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"But...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Do you really think so?\" Rena gasped, her  \neyes wide with excitement. \"Do you think I should wear a dress... or just go in  \nfur?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Stop!** **Just stop right there!\" Blue demanded of the  \nlovers. \"Are you saying that Taomon actually approved of this union?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"How the hell should I know?\" Rena shrugged. \"It's my life, my body,  \nand my heart... I don't see why I need my mother's blessing to take a mate.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"So he hasn't taken the tests yet?\" Blue was now scratching his head in  \nconfusion.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Nope\" Rena smiled.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Tests?\"**  **Axel asked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**'_Oh the tests..._' Black hissed,  \n'_I forgot all about them..._'**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yeah,\" Blue nodded, \"Three separate trials used to see if your worthy  \nof becoming a mate to the female you chose.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"It's almost always given by the head of the female's clan.\" Rena  \nclarified, her poor Axel looked so confused... or was that scared. \"But seeing as  \nhow you're not a digi...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Rena?\" Axel whispered. \"Should I be worried?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I don't think so.\" She shrugged.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Mary sat back in astonishment for she had just laid eyes on the prison  \nhalf of Rena's village. It now lay before her and her teammates, a festering  \nwound compared to the rest of Kitsune valley.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Damn.\" Kimmy breathed from her nearby hiding place.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I think I'm going to hurl.\" Cleo whispered from her tamer's side.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Keep it down over there.\" Mary instructed her daughter, \"Remember, we  \nneed to remain undetected until we see Axel's signal.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Sorry mom.\" Two voices responded as one.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**The eldest Benden sibling shivered as she tried to force her mind to  \nnot dwell on what her eyes had just glimpsed. Yet that was next to impossible.  \nThe prison was just as her brother described, an over crowded muddy death trap.  \nIf the sight of an over packed stock yard full of sick and dying digimon didn't  \nturn your stomach, then the stench that wafted up from said place surely would.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**But what really affected Mary the most, was that there were children in  \nthe midst of that man made hell.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Though half of the little city sat behind a high fence, most of the  \nbuildings inside were crumbling or gone. Someone must have taken charge inside  \nthe pen for the human children had been given the best of the few buildings  \nthat remained. This left many of the digimon to make or find shelter were ever  \nthey could. What little food they had was handled the same way. The children  \nwere fed first, and then the digimon shared what was left.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**The sight of how the digimon prisoners were doing what they could to  \nhelp the children survive, even at the cost of their own lives... well try as she  \nmight, Mary just couldn't hold back the tears.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Over and over again, Mary's thoughts came back to the children. Those  \nthat she saw from time to time were near the age of 14 or 15. Yet she  \nremembered the printout she had been given back at the DDC headquarters. It  \nlisted the names and ages of all the captured tamers; the youngest on the list  \nwas only 4 years old. As if that wasn't enough, the first child to be taken by  \nJosh's army, had been captured almost two months ago... in real world time.**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Two years,\" Mary whispered to herself. \"Some of those children have  \nbeen prisoners in this world for close to two years.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"It's a travesty,\" Leo nodded as he reached out and gently pulled her  \ntoward him. \"Now you can see why your brother is willing to do whatever it  \ntakes to free them.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yes... I understand now,\" she whimpered as she pressed herself against  \nLeo's strong chest. \"I understand and wish him luck.\"\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;**\n\n  \n  \n\n**_The Day Before_**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\u0026nbsp;\"I'm sorry that my drawing skills are so crude,\" Brian said as  \nTeam 1 pressed in to look at the diagram he had made in the cave's sandy floor.  \n\"But you can still get an idea of how the town is laid out.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"It will do,\" Axel nodded as he looked on. \"Again, thanks for the  \nhelp.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Sure, no problem,\" Brian smiled weakly. Behind Axel, LadyDevimon was  \nwatching her new pet with intent eyes... this made Brian feel both intimidated  \nand loved. \"So, do any of you have any questions about what I've told you?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I do,\" Axel said as he stood and moved closer to the makeshift map.  \nHis mind was working in overdrive now, desperately trying to form a new plan of  \nattack. Thanks to Dee, Team 1 now knew that Josh had moved all of his hostages  \ninto the prison at Kitsune valley. \"Is it possible that Takato and Team 2 are  \npossibly heading into a trap?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Very likely,\" Brian answered. \"Fuzzy... I mean, Josh, was expecting  \nsomeone to attack the castle after he left. He didn't believe that you would  \nsacrifice yourself for just the few DDC tamers he had captured. He figured that  \nyou would selflessly act as a distraction while another team freed the rest of  \nhis prisoners.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Fuck me,\" Mary whispered.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"You were right dear.\" Rena shook her head in disbelief. \"Josh is a  \ncrafty one.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yeah, but were does that leave us?\" Kimmy asked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Axel was quiet for sometime, by now everyone knew to stay silent while  \nhis chaotic mind scrambled to save the day. Even Brian had learned not to  \ndisturb Axel while he was brainstorming. \"Ok,\" he sighed after a moment. \"First  \noff, I need our fastest flyers to intercept Team 2 before they attack  \nFuzzywig's castle... Cleo?\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Not on my best day.\" The digi-cat shook her head. \"Angewomon couldn't  \ncover the distance from here to the castle in less than 24 hours...\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Dee?\" Axel asked as he turned to the demon.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Sorry Axel, but no.\" She sighed sadly, \"Remember, I'm just like  \nAngewomon when it comes to flight.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**\"Well I can't have Rena do it,\" Axel murmured. \"She has to be with me  \ntomorrow.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"I could travel that far in less then a day.\" This came from Brian**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"You can?!\" Dee demanded of her slave**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Dee, let him speak... please?\" Axel asked.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Yes sir.\" Dee then nodded to her pet. \"Elaborate on that.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**Brian nodded his thanks to his mistress and began. \"As you all know, I  \nuse spirit armor to transform myself and gain the abilities of a digimon. My  \nfirst armor was that of Deathmon, the grim reaper of digimon. But I have  \nanother, one that makes me quite powerful... Dragonmon, a rocket powered techno dragon.  \nIn that form, I could easily get to the castle before morning.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Thanks for sharing that Brian.\" Axel now had a mischievous grin  \nplastered to his face. \"Dee, it looks like I have a mission for you and your  \nslave.\"**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Just name it.\" LadyDevimon said as she stood at attention.**\n\n  \n  \n\n**\"Ok folks, here is the plan as it stands right now.\" With that Axel  \nlaid it all out on the line. Dee was to take Brian, intercept Team 2, and if at  \nall possible, bring them back to the valley. Kimmy and Mary would hike around  \nthe valley and come in from behind the prison, their job was to free the  \nchildren and get them to safety. That would leave Rena and Axel to take down  \nJosh... by any means.**\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Axel \u0026 Rena By: RenaTamer","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/23138-axel-rena-part-14-by-renatamer.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/28248-axel-rena-part-19-by-renatamer.json"}}
