First things first the disclaimers: This is entirely a work of fiction and nothing more. With respect given to the copy write owners of Digimon the anime series and assorted books etc. In addition, I would like to thank all of the writers out there on the net, especially Rena Tamer whose stories were my inspiration. And to all those others I have read in the last six months and those I might read in the future, Thanks for inspiring me to write again. And lastly I need to think my wife and her editing skills, without her this story would have never reached the internet.

This is my first try at writing a Digimon lemon so be kind with the critique. Notice this story involves mature concepts and adult situations, graphic sexual situations, language, violence, blood, death(not in yiff) and it's not recommended for those under the age of 18. Some (a lot) of yiff, for those of us that don't understand the rest of what I just said.

Authors note: This is the edited and reformatted version of the first 13 or so chapters of the series. With a word count of over 106 thousand it took some time for me to finish. TSRS isn't finished yet though I'm still working on it! Though between family health issues and normal everyday life (what part of my life is normal?) Anyway it has been very difficult for me to work on my writting. Thus if I get a chance to write it isn't for very long. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

The Silver Renomon Series

Book One

By Howard Hilmer-Tyson aka wolf421

Editor Diana Hilmer-Tyson

Prolog:

My name Kithira or just Kit for short; and I'm a Digimon. My tale begins in the digital world many years after the epic battles of the digidestined in Japan. While peace reined in the real world, our battles in the digital world continued.

"NOVA BLAST!" The Greymon shouts in the distance; bringing me out of my revere. From my spot on a hill almost a digimile away I watch in horror as greymon's nova blast attack lights up the pre-dawn sky of the digital world. In the blink of an eye I'm running to the village, the sound of Greymon's nova blast reaches my ears again and again too quickly to be just one. As I top the last hill I see five greymon's closing in destroying the buildings of the village as they go. The sound of Digimon screaming in terror reaches my ears, also the scream of attacks being launched against the Greymon.

"My mate and cub are in that village!" Anger and rage course through my being fueling my speed as I charged the nearest Greymon from behind.

Leaping into the air above him.

"DIAMOND STORM!" I shout releasing my most powerful attack point blank into his back, he is completely defenseless.

The arc of my leap carries me over him, looking down I see his data begin to scatter on the digital wind. No time to collect his data; my mate and cub need me! I hit the ground running to the village. As I enter the village a digital wind hits me in the face, there's data on the wind. My body begins to glow as it absorbs the data, power courses through me, and my speed increases. Hoping against hope, I race through the village looking for any sign of my mate and cub. The village is in ruins, whole buildings and Digimon gone in a flash, their data scattered on the wind. So intent on my purpose I failed to keep tract of the attacking Greymon when a nova blast sends me flying into the ruins of a building. Regaining my feet quickly, I dive out of one of the windows back into the street as a second nova blast hits the building behind me. Moving with the quickness of my kind I leap from building to building looking for my attacker. Through the smoke and dust I see the light of the nova blast in greymon's mouth just as he starts to release it.

"Ah, there you are!" I say to myself and leap high into the air.

As I go up the nova blast hits what's left of the building next to the one I was just on. At the top of my leap, I launch my attack.

"Diamond Storm!" I shout.

I twist my body in midair to keep him in sight as I drop onto another roof. As I land I hear.

"Firewall!" Bellows the Greymon.

Looking in his direction, I see him block the brunt of my attack.

"Is that all you got runt?" He shouts at me, as he charges to attack.

I dodge left then right hopping from street to wall and then leap

"Rapid Kick" I shout aiming for his jaw.

He ducks under my attack and counters with an attack of his own.

"Great Horn Attack!" The greymon shouts launching his attack.

I twist my body hoping to dodge his attack; I watch in horror as his head comes up the huge horn leading the way pain courses through my body as the sound of bones breaking reaches my ears and sends me flying. My vision goes black from the pain,

"Nova Blast" I dimly register him shout.

My body is wracked with pain unlike I have ever felt. The heat is intense and the smell of burning fur, my fur, hits my nose. I hit the ground the sound of more bones breaking reaches my ears, the pain stops; what's left of my awake mind tells that my back has been broken and other bones. I force my eyes open to look at the sky as dawn breaks across the digital world. My breath comes in ragged gurgling short gasps, my ribs are broken. My lungs are punctured. Blood runs from my mouth with each breath.

"I'm sorry my mate and my cub" I say looking up at the sky, as my vision goes dim.

So this is what it's like to die I think. Rage fills me,

"It's not my time" I shout in my head as all goes black.

Chapter 1

In the real world:

Hypnos Command Complex, Colorado Springs U.S.A.

"Alert! Bio-emergence detected in eastern Washington State. Alert! Bio-emergence detected in eastern Washington State." Blared the alarms throughout the command room.

"Drake! Shut that damn alarm off! Or at least turn the volume down on it for pities sake!" Exclaimed the Chief

The alarm soon goes silent.

"What's the matter chief? First you want it high so everyone in three counties can hear it, and then you want it low, make up my mind for me chief." Drake replied.

"What's the matter? This is what's the matter, said the chief of operations pointing at his three piece suit with a long dark stain spreading down the front. It's six in the morning and I'm wearing half my cup of mocha is that's what's the matter! Now what do we have to start our usually un-eventful day with? Hopefully a virus type I'm tired of sitting at a desk and filling out reports." The chief said.

"No such luck, it's just another rookie renamon data type." Drake replied sarcastically.

"Oh, damn another we have to track down and explain the rules to, send that new kid Stevens to handle this one." The chief grumbled as he walked away.

"Hey, chief I don't think Stevens will be able to handle this one, there's something real weird about it." said Drake.

The chief walks back over and looks over Drakes shoulder.

"What's up?" He asks.

"Look at the power level's, this one first read as a rookie, now is showing to be a champion but now it's showing to be a rookie again. What's going on?" said Drake.

"Don't worry about it your new enough at command not to know that sometimes the power levels of a Digimon jump up and down until they stabilize after coming here to the real world; go head and send Stevens he'll do fine.( Pats Drake on the shoulder) I`ll be in my office filling out reports if needed." He replied walking away.

"Sure thing chief." said Drake as he turned on the speaker phone and began dialing a number. The phone rings four times before an obviously sleepily voice answers.

"Stevens, do you know what time it is?" Stevens said groggily.

"Yeah it's 6:15 am and this is your wake up call, get packed and loaded up your heading to Spokane Washington. Information's being sent to your pad now." said Drake.

"Please tell me it's a virus type; and not the `welcome to the neighborhood here's the rule book' grand tour." Stevens whined as he sat up.

"Not your lucky day, I'm afraid. Pack a couple extra rule books while you're at it, one for the tamer and Digimon and some for the tamers parents. Oh and don't forget to take a D-arc with you for the tamer just in case." Drake replied.

"Just my fucking luck! Spend ten years in school, graduate top of the class for handling, control and containment of virus Digimon and what does it get me? A job as the welcome wagon and travel agent tour guide!" Stevens complained just before Drake turns off the speaker phone shaking his head.

"Send a rookie to handle a rookie, I like that." said Drake talking to himself.

Miles away in a rundown house: a laptop computer screen comes to life.

"Warbler signal detected, ident confirmed:"Thackry, Daryl agent #15-2059" the computer voice said.

A hand reaches from the bed to the nightstand and picks up the reading glasses. Putting the glasses on the forty-ish man gets out of bed and walks over to the table where his laptop is sitting and grabs the stack of printouts off the table. Looking from screen to print outs and confirming the data he sets the printouts down and picks up the sat-phone and connects it to the laptop via a usb cable, that done he pulls up the only number in the sat-phones directory and dials it. Thirty seconds later the connection is made. The man watches as the light on the phone flashes from red then to green before speaking.

"I have a confirmed match on `Agent Thackry' and gps location fix."

The voice from the speaker is distorted but clear enough to make out.

"Good, transfer the data and I will transfer your payment."

Pulling up his on-line banking page on the laptops web browser, the man checks the current balance. $150.00usd in the off shore account.

"Not so fast my impatient employer, we spoke of this when you came to me for the job. The agreement was when I call and say that I have the data, half of the payment was to be deposited on that account I gave you; I'm still waiting on the first half of the payment to show up." He said.

Nothing comes from the speaker for almost thirty seconds.

"Ah, yes a slight oversight on my part; nothing to worry about transferring the sum now." The voice of his unknown employer replied.

The man looks at the screen and waits half a minute before hitting the f5 key to refresh the page. After the page refreshes, A new balance of $20,150 usd is shown.

"Good I see you're a man of your word, beginning transfer now." He says clicking the cursor on the send button on the screen.

"Transfer received and complete, transferring the rest of the payment now; goodbye our business is now complete enjoy your new found wealth." Said the voice from the sat-phone speaker as the line goes dead.

Waiting 30 seconds the man hits the f5 key refreshing the screen once again. The page takes longer than normal to refresh but when it does, the man is enraged by what he sees. On the screen the message appears (account closed, balanced $00.00) and a typed response below it.

"Foolish human never, ever trust a spy you create, can we say boom! Hahahahahaha."

"What the," is all he can get out as the house explodes around him.

Meanwhile, almost 1200 miles North West in Spokane Washington:

"Devon, Devon! Get up, schools in half an hour! You don't want to be late!" A woman's bellowed voice from the top of the stairs.

"I'm up mom, been up all night, and by the way mom, its Saturday there's no school today anyway." Devon replied.

He heard footsteps coming down the stairs. He recognized them as his mom's. She was a middle age women, with mid-length strait black hair and brown eyes with a figure that almost made Devon think seriously of joining the MILF' club or try to. His friends were always claiming that they were jealous of him because to them she was sexy for being his mother, but he always let it go, and just chalked it up to testosterone. Nevertheless, she was beautiful. Maybe if she wasn't his mom well. naahhh. Devon knew he still wouldn't try anything. Because he also knew, his mom was no pushover by any meaning of the word. She could easily put a full grown man in the hospital for attacking her and getting on herShit list' as she called it, and Devon for one wanted no part of her shit list. She was wearing her waitress uniform as she stepped into the room.

"What do you mean you've been up all night?" Devon's mother asks.

"Before you start mom, I've been repairing this p.o.s. of a computer once again, it crashed last night just before the Digimon battle dome match of the year and now I have to settle for the highlights of the game from CNN or some other news agent." said Devon.

"Devon, why did you spend all night repairing your computer again? And don't lie to me, I know it wasn't just over you missing the Battle Dome match." She said expecting an answer.

"If you really must know, I had a date last night with a friend from England via webcam and it crashed just when I hoped to find out when she's coming to America." Devon replied as he turns on the power to the computer.

The sound of a hiss then a pop and then the smell of smoke fills the bedroom just before the lights go out. "Oh, Shit!" Exclaims Devon, as he dived for the power switch on the surge protector a little too late.

"Devon watch your mouth or I will wash it out with soap, now where's the flashlight?" She asked annoyed by the lights going out.

"Got it right here mom, I keep it handy." Devon replied as light filled the room.

"I'll get the breaker, mom" Continued Devon as he walked to the closet door, opened it and reached in past some clothes to find the circuit breaker box.

Seconds pass and there the sound of a click from the closet and the lights flicker back on. Devon walks back over to his desk and pulls the cover off the computer, looks in to see a mass of burned circuits and melted wires. Making the sign of the cross with his hand and then to a gun pantomimes shooting the computer.

"It's dead, there's no chance of resurrecting this one from the dead again." he said rather dismayed and sat down in the chair.

"Well maybe you can buy another from the place you bought that one." She replied trying to comfort her son.

Devon sighed in frustration.

"Mom, it took me three weeks of searching all over town to find a video card just to keep this one running a month ago, and now it's trash. The only way I'm ever going to have a computer that doesn't crash on a daily basis is to ether buy a newer one or build it!" said Devon beyond exasperated.

"Devon we have been over this before, I just can't afford to buy you a system every time you break the one you've got." she said firmly.

"Mother, you've promised me three years ago to buy a new computer for me, if I kept my grades up in school, which I've raised by a good ten points but you still have yet to make good on your promise! Devon said angrily.

"Son, will talk about this when I get home from work today, unlike you I have to work on Saturday's." she said calmly.

"Yeah, that's what you always say, but never do because something else always comes up conveniently to change the topic of discussion!" he said ranting as he plopped down on his bed and picked up the latest Digimon magazine with a blue renamon on the cover.

"We will talk about it today like I said, I'll be home around four or five depending on how much business we get today," she said walking back up stairs.

Now she was beginning to get annoyed by her son's attitude. But she knew he was right and that irked her to no end. Either way, it was because she knew he was right that she couldn't get mad at him, annoyed sure, mad no.

He waited for a few minutes before going upstairs to the kitchen to get some breakfast.

"When is she going to understand that I can't keep repairing computers that are ten to fifteen years out of date and that I just can't get parts for anymore?" He thought to himself as he made himself a bowl of milk and cereal.

Walking into the living room, he turned on the TV to check on the scores of the game from last night and watches uninterested as he ate his breakfast. It wasn't long before Devon lost interest in the TV. He turned it off, then returned his bowl to the kitchen sink and poured water in it. After setting the security alarm, he then heads to the stairs and his room in the basement. Sleepy from being up all night he laid down in his bed to take a nap, throwing out the hunk of junk that was his computer could wait till later. Looking up at the bottom of the bunk overhead, he looked at the picture of his older brother wondering where he was and what he was doing. His brother Daryl was one of the last of the American teens to go to the digital world before Hypnos had firewalled the portals to get there some ten years ago, but he never returned from the digital world. Maybe that's why mom had a dislike for the digital world and the Digimon here in the real world and everything to do with them, because one of them took her eldest son from her.

"Boy mom would flip if she knew that my friend Ellen from England was a Digimon, maybe that's why I never told her." thought Devon.

Sleep finally takes the 17 year old as he dreams of the digital world.

"The dream"

"Wait a minute! This isn't my home," thinks Devon as intense heat from burning fires wash over him.

Looking around there are destroyed buildings and cottage-like homes some of them burning and adding to the heat. The place looks like a war zone, a large battle must have taken place here in the last hour or so by the looks of it.

"I better get out of here and quickly." thinks Devon as he walks around fires and what looks like blast creators in the street.

In the distance the sound of a battle reaches his ears.

"Uh Yeah I better go." he says to himself and starts walking and then running as the sounds of battle get closer.

Turning the corner he is confronted with a sight he never thought he would witness. Not a hundred yards away is a Greymon battling a Renamon. He watches transfixed as the Renamon dodges a nova blast after nova blast from the Greymon, she weaves around her opponent from building to street and to building again looking for an opening to launch an attack.

"Diamond storm!" She shouts launching her attack.

The Greymon counters with his firewall but still takes some damage as part of her attack got through.

"Oh man, She's quick." thinks Devon as he watches her setup her next attack.

A stark realization hits him.

"Oh no! she's repeating the same attack pattern, left, right then left again. If she keeps this up she's toast!" thought Devon.

As she launches her rapid kick attack at the greymon's lower jaw, time seems to slow down as he watches the Greymon duck under her attack and counters with his great horn attack. He catches her dead in the back with his horn sending her flying towards Devon. A scream of pain from her reaches Devon's ears just as the Greymon follows with another attack "nova blast". The nova blast engulfs her body and slams her into the ground less than ten feet from Devon. The heat of his attack and concussion wave is so intense that Devon is knocked to the ground. Stunned by the blast, Devon can do nothing but watch as the Greymon closes in for the kill. The Greymon stops twenty feet away, and turns his head and looks down at Devon.

"Your kind is not wanted here anymore human, leave now or suffer her fate." The Greymon said.

Devon stares on in shock, and then it hits him that the Greymon was speaking to him.

"Very well, you've had your chance to leave, now suffer! Nova Blast!" The Greymon shouts launching an attack against Devon.

"Oh shit!" Devon hollers and rolls right and gets his feet under him in time to dive toward a nearby blast crater. The nova blast hits the ground behind him and the concussion wave propels Devon the rest of the way into the crater. Looking around Devon tries to get his bearings, but it was harder than it should have been, because his ears were ringing from the concussion wave.

"The renamon is laying five feet from him and the big ugly is behind him and coming on strong to finish the job and that building ten feet on the other side of her might give me a chance out of this" he thinks.

Then he spots something, sitting on the ground next to her. A D-arc! In a split second, his plains change. Scrambling out of the crater Devon dives for the D-arc and grabs it and then rolls into a crouch next to the renamon picking her up in one fluid motion is back on his feet and heading for the building ten feet away. Bright flash of light engulfs them both as the nova blast connects then a split second of pain before the world goes dark.

The dream ends.

Fear, pain, shock and heavy breathing accompany Devon as he sits bolt upright in his bed; a cold sweat covers him from head to toe, his back aching and throbbing badly. As if he had slept all twisted, tossed and turned in his sleep violently. He also felt like he had a bad sunburn on is back, but he dismissed this, as his thought are consumed around the dream he just had.

"It was just a dream, no more like a nightmare." Devon thinks to himself.

"Well that settles it no more fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches or staying up all night for me anymore, if there're going to cause nightmares like that." He said out loud.

Just then, he realizes that there's a fading white light from the computer desk and turns his head in time to see the monitor go dark.

"Now that's weird, I thought I turned the monitor off." mumbled Devon to himself.

Looking at the monitor he sees that in fact that it is off. At that moment Devon feels a warm pressure against his lower back, it's then he realizes that he's not alone in bed anymore.

"Whoa! What the Fuck!" He says diving out of bed.

The sound of something hitting the floor besides his feet draws his attention away from the bed. "No, it can't be,-" thought Devon.

The D-arc from his dream is laying there at his feet.

"But it was just a dream, wasn't it?" he asked as he reached down to pick it up his attention returns to the bed.

The broken and blackened form of the Digimon is laying there, looking at her he sees that her fur is singed in some spots and completely burnt away in others, maybe a broken bone or two. The D-arc drops from his hand as he realizes the extent of her injuries and He runs upstairs to the hallway closet for the first aid kit and grabs some towels also as a second thought and runs back down stairs. Once there his first aide training takes over, the first step is to clean her wounds with the hydrogen peroxide, then to dress and then to bandage the wounds and wait.

Devon Thinking: "Glad I took that first aide course at camp last year."

After tending to the renamon's wounds the forgotten D-arc on the floor draws his attention, picking it up he walks over to the computer desk and sits down. Turning on the desk lamp he turns the D-arc over and over in his hands examining it.

"Boy this thing is old, ten years or older by the look of it and pretty banged up." He thought to himself. Then a sudden realization hits him then; I'm her partner and she's my Renamon!

"Ahh man what the hell am I going to tell mom! I can't very well hide her, she's too big for that. And she sure as hell not a lost puppy." He says out loud.

On the D-arc he notices that it has a mini usb port,

"Hey I can hook this thing up to my computer and get check out how this thing works." He concluded thinking to himself.

Then he remembers that his computer is beyond resurrection this time. A soft moan comes from the bed drawing him out of his souring mood. Rushing over to the bed he finds that she has moved a little, but still out cold. He tongue was lolling out one side of her mouth. Tentatively he reaches out to place her tongue back in her mouth and finding it dry as sandpaper but warm, possibly to warm almost feverish. Walking to his bathroom he fills the cup by the sink with cold water and returns to his partner. Sitting on the edge of the bed he grabs one of the towels and places it under her jaw to catch any water that may dribble out. Slowly he drips water onto her tongue and into her mouth. Her tongue on reflex laps at the water and moves around the inside of her mouth wetting the dry tissues. Minutes pass as he drips water into her mouth and she reflexively swallows until the water is gone. Earlier he had been so intent on taking care of her wounds he had not paid much attention to her form until now. With or without fur her body was shaped in almost the hourglass figure of some fashion model, her top most set of breasts had to be at least a large c-cup if not a small d-cup in size, and they had rings in the nipples. The next set there was no doubt about their size a solid c-cup, the next had to be a b-cup and they were the smallest ones. Her midriff tapered slightly to her waist which blossomed to her hips, her sex was covered by long thick fur adding to the air of sensuality of her race, his eyes trailed down to her well-muscled thighs and long slender yet powerful legs. Here in the real world every child since the Digimon had arrived dreamed of being lucky enough to have just such a Digimon as a renamon as their partner. And it was no wonder why; Renamon were aloof by nature yet very visually appealing to most humans, highly intelligent and apt learners and loyal to death. Looking down at the sleeping renamon;

"I'm either one very lucky guy or a dead man when mother gets home." thinks Devon.

As he starts to get up from the bed she rolls onto her side and her left gauntleted paw drops into his lap and grips his member through his pants, a soft moan comes from her mouth and then she speaks in a whisper.

"Mate, you found me, my family is safe." Sighs and falls back asleep.

Careful not to wake her Devon moves her hand out of his lap; his penis throbbing from her soft but firm grip. Devon then gets up and heads back to the desk to resume his examination of the D-arc. Two buttons on the front below the circular screen unmarked as too there function, besides the card slot on the top and the mini usb port, no battery or power connection. Looking over at the bed,

"Damn she looks sexy laying like that." Thinks Devon

I wonder he says pointing the D-arc at the sleeping renamon and pushes the left button on its face. A hologram appears above the circular screen, readouts show name:

Renamon.

Type: data.

Attacks: Diamond storm, rapid kick.

Level: rookie.

Status: health 60%.

Power: 40%

As Devon reads the holo-display the health monitor drops to 58% and then to 54% and dropping. Realizing that he missed something Devon rushes over to the bed; setting the d-arc down to where he can keep an eye on the holo-display he begins to examine her more closely. Carefully he runs his fingers though her fur looking for anything he could have missed. As he moves to her back, her fur is wet and thick with slightly crusted dried mats. Searching farther into the thicker fur that runs down her spine the fur is soaked. Pulling his hands away he finds them covered in blood. Horrified he rolls her over onto her stomach. Looking at her back he finds midway down the broken off tip of the greymon's horn lodged between her ribs and the source of the blood. Placing his left hand between her spine and the horn, and grasping the horn with his right, he pulls on the horn experimentally hoping it will come out without a fight. No such luck it was wedged in tight, resetting his grip he pulls again with more force it still refuses to budge. Looking up at the holo-display the health reads 30% then drops again to 25%. Resetting his grip on the horn his forearm muscles bulge and pulls

"YOUR NOT, the horn moves an inch DYING YET!" He shouts as the horn comes free in his hand.

Devon watches as the horn in his hand changes into one of the fabled blue cards, as the health meter drops to 15%. Grabbing the D-arc Devon swipes the card through the slot, and reads what is on the screen

"Recharge Activate!" He shouts.

White light erupts from the screen of the D-arc filling the room. On the bed renamon's eyes fly open, power unlike any she has ever felt before courses through her. Broken bones and other injuries heal as the Digivolution process begins.

"Impossible, I can't I'm not that strong! Oh my I can," says Renamon as a smile forms on her lips.

"Renamon warp digivolve to Taomon" she shouts!

Devon dives back as the renamon shouts, there's a bright flash of light and then as it fades away Taomon is standing before him her head almost touching the ceiling.

Looking around Taomon examines the room, scattered computer parts lay around the room, clothes and various other items, her gaze stops at the human.

"Where am I?" she asks.

"You're in the real world, more to the point Spokane Washington, "Devon replies.

"But how? The last thing I remember is fighting a greymon in the village and losing." she replies.

"I know, I was there, I saw the whole thing between you and the greymon. I grabbed this D-arc and you off the ground and ran, there was a flash of light and a lot of pain and then we were here, back in my bed. At first I thought it was only a nightmare but then I found the D-arc and you in my bed." Devon replied.

Taomon thinks a moment before speaking again.

"Then I am in your debt, you saved my life. Now tell me how I can return to the digital world?" she said.

Devon sits down in his computer chair before responding.

"Truth is I don't know, since Hypnos closed the gateway over ten years ago not one human has been able to reach the digital world until now. And don't ask me how I did it because I don't know that either unfortunately." Sounding more than a little bummed out.

"Then I'm stuck here and my mate and cub are there in the digital world." Taomon sits down on the floor, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "If I hadn't left the village, if I had stayed home I would have been there for them, there's no chance they escaped. The greymon attacked without warning!" she sobs and returns to her renamon form.

Devon gets up and walks over to sit down next to her. Wrapping his arms around her, he holds her; neither saying anything for the better part of an hour before she speaks again.

"What's your name? "She asked almost a whisper.

"I'm Devon Thackry, Renamon it's a pleasure to meet you." Devon replied.

"Renamon is a sub-race of digimon; my name is Kithira or just Kit for short." Kithira corrected him politely.

"For what it's worth Kit; I know the pain of losing a loved one also, my father died after I was born, and my older brother, well he disappeared into the digital world over ten years ago when I was seven." Devon replied trying to comfort Kit.

Kit pulls away and stands up, then turns to face Devon.

"The D-arc, may I see it?" She asks.

Standing, Devon picks up the D-arc off the bed.

"Sure here." Says Devon as he handed the D-arc to her.

Devon watches as she turns it over in her hands examining it as if looking of something. She stops and rubs on a spot with her finger, some dirt falls away and then her whole body shudders, she hands the D-arc back to him.

"Where did you say that you found the d-arc again?" She asks, her emotional pain audible in her voice.

"In the digital world between the blast crater I was in and where you landed, why?" He asked with concern.

"There's really no point for me to return to the digital world now, the d-arc was my mates. He would die before giving it up; or at least that's what he told me too many times to count. My mate is dead and more than likely so is my cub with him." Said Kithira as the pain of loss threatens to overwhelm her.

But she refuses to allow her grief to take her.

"Hey you don't know that for sure; just because the gateway is closed between the worlds for humans to go through doesn't mean that we can't get a message to the digital world." He said trying to reassure her.

"It wouldn't matter you're my partner now according to the d-arc; if you don't believe me point the d-arc at yourself and press the scan button." she said sobbing quietly but slowly getting control of herself as anger at the Greymon overtakes her grief. Kithira's mood darkens but she hides it from Devon as she knows what has happened is not his fault.

Doing as she instructed Devon points the d-arc at himself and hits the scan button. The holo-display lights up and reads.

Bio-signature match: human partner to Renamon Kithira.

Health: 100%

"Ok, so I'm your partner in the real world, but this still doesn't prove that your mate has died." said Devon clipping the D-arc to his belt loop.

"Yes it does or at least it does with that d-arc, unlike other d-arc's that one has been modified to accept a new human partner only when the other has died, one digimon = one d-arc." she said her voice betraying her dark mood.

"Oh, I didn't know; I'm sorry for your loss." Looking at the clock seeing that it was 12:30 in the afternoon he looks back at Kit.

"Well I'm hungry can I get you something to eat or drink?" He asked.

"Yes, a drink called Earl Grey tea if you have it, if not water will do fine." she relied.

"I'll be back down in a few minutes then, look around if you want." said Devon heading out the door.

"He's a good boy, kind and caring and full of courage, but he's got a lot to learn about digimon. But how did he cause me to warp digivolve to my ultimate form? And that power surge that the d-arc gave me. Too many questions and not enough answers." She said thinking to herself.

She looked at the mess in the room, and Kit shakes her head.

"Has to be a human trait." she says out loud.

"Pictures on the walls of various humans in weird clothes, painted faces and holding some sort of weapons with strings, their faces contorted in screams of rage. Human warriors of some sort." Kit thinks to herself.

Looking over the smaller pictures she sees one of Devon much smaller and with a human female holding him,

"His mother maybe?" Kit thinks.

As she looks on one picture stands out from the others; it shows Devon on the left his mother in the middle and her mate on the right! Pulling the picture off the wall she looks at it closely. Tears well up in her eyes as the realization hits her.

"It's Daryl alright. That means this was his family, the den in which he was raised, my mates family that I never meet before the gateway was closed." thinking Kit as she runs a furred finger over Daryl's face on the picture.

"Daryl my mate, I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you and our daughter." Kit says out loud hugging the picture to her chest. Her grief overwhelms her and this time she can't stop the tears.

Meanwhile upstairs in the kitchen: Devon places the water for tea on the burner to boil, and while that's going pulls out the bread and peanut butter and makes some sandwiches.

"How am I going to tell mom about Kit, let alone that I'm her human partner? Ah hell, mom's going to freak, there's no getting around that. Well she's going to have to accept it, I'm Kit's partner now and that's that." Said Devon thinking to himself, as the teapot starts whistling and Devon takes the pot off the stove; pours some of the water into a cup setting on a serving tray along with the peanut butter sandwiches; his coke and the tea bags. Picking up the tray he heads back down stairs.

"I'm back with tea and sandwiches." He announces entering the room.

Kit turns to face him tears staining the fur on her checks, the picture frame held to her chest. Extending the picture to Devon, Kit points at the picture.

"This was my mate, who is he to you and female human?" She asks.

Devon looked at the picture.

"That's my older brother Daryl and mother and me taken just before he went to the digital world. Wait a minute! My brother was your mate! That, that means my, my, brother is dead! Daryl NO!!" He stammers out, the serving tray slipping from his fingers.

Kit grabs the tray before it tilts to far spilling the tea and sandwiches on the floor, and sets it down in time to catch Devon as he collapses. Wrapping her arms around him she supports his weight and lowers him to the floor, his head nestled between her top breasts his shuddering sobs of grief and tears soaking her fur. Devon's arms wrap around her midriff afraid to let her go.

Chapter 2

A short time later, as the tears are drying on both of their faces; Devon is the first to speak.

"To tell the truth I had always wondered what my brother was doing or where he was and whom he was with." Devon said looking at the floor.

Kithira looked down at him.

"He was my partner for a very long time, for too many digital years to remember. We had our good times and bad ones, but I never doubted his love for me not once. He was a good man and a good mate too me in all ways. My only regret was not making our relationship a binding one beyond that of partners. "Kit said regretfully.

Devon thinks for a minute before speaking, then blushes.

"Then you and my brother didn't actually mate ah, sexually?" Devon asked now feeling rather uncomfortable.

"That was my only regret about us." She says, the inside of her ears turning red.

Just then the sound of the kitchen door closing reaches Kit's and Devon's ears.

"Devon, you down in your room? I could use some help with the shopping." Devon recognized his mother's voice from upstairs.

Kit and Devon pull away from each the other, Kit looks for some place to hide; seeing none she adjusts her kneeling position slightly too where she is facing the door, and picks up the tea cup and sips from it. "Uhhgg! The tea has gone cold." Kit thinks to herself and grimaces at the cold tea.

Devon hops up and sticks his head out the bedroom door.

"Be up in a second, I need to get dressed, he said," Grabbing a pair of pants and a t-shirt he runs into the bathroom to change.

"Humans are so strange they have to change their fur every day or sooner," Thought Kit as she shook her head and sipped her cold tea.

As Devon comes out of the bathroom, he sees Kit shaking her head and a smile on her lips. Devon smiles at her,

"I'll be back down in a few minutes." He said almost running into his mother at the door to his room, a large box in her hands.

"Devon, when were you going to introduce me to your friend?" Asked his mother as she handed him the box and stepped into the room.

"Uh, mom, I was just on my way up." Stammered Devon clumsily. An awkward silence grips the room as Devon's mother enters and bows to Kit.

"Honored Renamon, welcome to my home; I am Devon's mother, Lisa Thackry, I hope my son didn't shame himself too much while I was out." She said.

Kit rises to her feet and returns the bow.

"I'm Kithira, and actually Devon has so far today saved my life twice that I know of and is now my human partner." Kit said. Devon's mother nods her head the turns to face her son.

"Devon, bring your new monitor down and go upstairs and make some fresh tea for us and bring it to the living room upstairs. Afterwards you can bring the rest of the boxes down from the kitchen while Kithira and I talk. If you'll follow me upstairs we can talk in a more refined atmosphere." Devon's mother leads the way as Kithira nods to her request and follows.

Devon puts the box down in time to take up the rear behind Kithira as she ascends the stairs out of the basement. Devon watches the way Kithira walks her tail always swaying to left or right with each step she takes. On the stairs the vision in front of him is almost more than his seventeen year old mind can handle; as Kithira is three steps higher than him and with each step she takes her furred covered asshole and the slit of her pussy are visible to him. His heart rate increases as does his breathing with the sight before him, his growing erection in his pants the result of it. Kit doesn't need to look over her shoulder to know what's going on; her ears and nose have picked up the change in his breathing and the pheromones being released into the air by his body's sweat glands.

"Well that's something I didn't expect .He's attracted to me as a breeding mate. Would Devon actually mate with me? Ooh why is the thought arousing me so much. (Kit giggles quietly to herself.) If he is so willing, why don't I give him a taste of what's to come." She thinks to herself with a smirk.

And at the top of the stairs she times it just right and stops and ducks her head through the doorway and lifts her tail straight up along her back exposing her sex to his full view. Not expecting Kithira to stop at the top of the stairs, Devon is caught off guard and buries his face in her ass and her hood slips into his mouth. A sweet musky odor and taste invades Devon's sinuses and taste buds, not unpleasant, but alluring and erotic in a way as the erection in his pants surges to its full length. Kithira shudders as Devon's hot breath flows across her backside and his mouth sucks on her hood.

"Devon can't resist shove his tongue into her to get her full taste. Devon groans quietly and sucks a second or two longer, then quickly remembers himself and blushes furiously.

"Oooh that felt good, Its been too long, I need to get mated. But not now, hopefully later. I see he liked it as much as I did." Thinks Kithira, as smile forms on her lips, she continues to follow Devon's mother through the kitchen and down the hall to the living room.

Devon stops in the kitchen and watches as Kit follows his mother down the hallway to the living room. And begins making the tea his mother requested him to make.

"She did that on purpose the tease! But what if she wasn't teasing? It's not like it hasn't happened before a digimon and their tamer getting it on; heck the internet was full of websites with stories, pictures and videos of it. In the last 30 years, society has changed and accepted the fact that it's going to happen regardless. Damn she's so sexy when she walks like that her tail just swaying back and forth giving just a hint of what the tail conceals; I could get use to waking up with her in bed next to me. And burring my cock in that tasty cunt of hers. Aww man she tasted good! I hope she lets me do that again and for a lot longer than a few second. I can't believe the hard-on she gave me. Ok, I'd better stop before I have to go jack off."

Thought Devon as he continued to fantasize about the many things he wanted to do with kit. Mostly of how that hood would feel tightly wrapped around his cock as he buried it deeply into her, repeatedly.

While waiting for the water to boil Devon carried the boxes from the kitchen to his room down stairs. None of the boxes were marked with anything more than a part number, then it hit him what his mother said when she asked him to make the tea.

"She didn't go to work today; she went and bought me a new computer system! Oh man now I feel bad about the way I acted this morning, no better than a spoiled brat would act after being told "no you can't have ice cream for breakfast." He felt guilty and as a result his erection died just as quickly as he got it. "Ok so much for masturbating, I feel like an ass. I need to apologize to her for the way I acted. I'd better get those boxes too." Devon thought to himself.

From the heater vent on the ceiling the voice's of Devon's mother and Kithira talking can be heard; Devon opens the vent all the way to hear better and is shocked by the topic of discussion. Devon listens to them until the shrill sound of the teapot whistling reaches Devon's ears and he has to run upstairs to make the tea.

Meanwhile in the living room:

Lisa Thackry walks over to her easy chair and motions Kithira to the couch knowing how the renamon like to lounge instead of sit or kneel. Kithira steps to the couch and waits for Devon's mother to sit first then takes the offered couch. After a moment Lisa begins to speak.

"I'll be very honest with you, I'm not happy about you and Devon mating downstairs while I was out." Lisa said flatly her tone betraying nothing.

The look of astonishment crosses Kithira face then she laughs.

"I didn't mate with Devon. If you're talking about the blood on his bed that came from my various wounds I had when he brought me here this morning from my village in the digital world. That was from the first time he saved my life." Kithira said bowing her head.

"Impossible! Hypnos closed all gateways to the digital world over ten years ago to humans, no human can go to the digital world period, I know I tried and they wouldn't let me kept saying it was too dangerous." Lisa said.

"Never the less, Devon was able to bring me here and now his D-arc shows us to be partners." Kithira said.

"Listen it's nothing personal against you Kithira, I've lost two of the three men in my life to the digital world or to a digimon. The first was my husband to the digimon D-reaper when he attacked the television station in Tokyo Japan over fifteen years ago. The second was my eldest son who went to the digital world over ten years ago just before the gateways where closed. I do not intend to lose the last of my family to the digital world." Lisa said in a matter of fact tone.

Kit cocks an ear toward the hallway listening for Devon, hearing him grunt in the kitchen picking up a box and then his footsteps on the stairs, she nods and speaks.

"What I'm about to say Devon can never be told about unless I am dead or things change in the near future, the same goes for you. Eleven years and some odd months ago I was captured in the firewall of one of the gateways by Hypnos trying to come to the real world from the digital one. At that time I was fleeing from an army of digimon and bringing news to Hypnos of new threat to this world. They offered me a job and I took it. I was given a D-arc a very special one, not only would it allow me to travel between the two worlds bypassing the firewalls and other security systems but it came with one other feature. It would stay with me as long as I live regardless of how many human partners I have. But with the job came the one thing I didn't count on, a Hypnos agent and human partner, your son Daryl Thackry." Kithira informed her.

Lisa shakes her head in denial.

"That's a lie my son went with a college study group to catalog the many types of digimon and the flora of the digital world! He would have told me if it was something like that." Asserted Lisa.

Kit checks with her ears again Devon's location in the house and finds it safe to continue.

"There was twenty of us, ten digimon and ten humans. We stopped the threat to both worlds. Nine years ago when the entire internet crashed the twenty of us spent months fixing the damage in the digital world. We lost half our number in the first four years on different missions for Hypnos. And the rest in the last five months; digimon having their data absorbed and the human partners being killed in both worlds not just the digital one. That's the reason Daryl and I never came here was to protect you and Devon, because Daryl believed that someone in Hypnos was setting us up, was the way he put it." Kit enlightened the mother of her mate.

In the kitchen the teapot starts whistling and Devon's footsteps can be heard running up the stairs.

In the Kitchen:

Devon Thinking: "If I go in there and lose it they both will know I was listening to their conversation. But if I don't say a word I leave myself open to attack by unknown forces or even the known ones like Hypnos."

Devon finishes pouring the tea into cups and then places a third cup on the tray and fills it like the others picks up the tray and heads to the living room. Entering the living room they are both to quite, which means they heard him making the tea and stopped talking as not to reveal anything to him. Setting the tray down on the coffee table between them Devon picks up one cup from the tray and sets it in front of his mother and the other in front of Kithira, taking the last for himself sits down on the end of the couch near Kit's feet.

Lisa Thinking: "Boy he's grown seems like just yesterday I brought him home. D-arc on his belt and his digimon next to him, boy they do make a pair. Reminds me so much of myself at his age with my digimon partner by my side, only my partner was male and one hell of a lover unlike my husband turned out to be. Smiling at the memory of days gone by the smile fads from her face; The D-arc on her sons belt it has a tracking device built into it! Coming out of her revere, she drops the teacup and jumps up heading for the hallway. Devon and Kithira look on as his mother pulls out a lock box from the closet and brings it back into the living room. Lisa sets it on the coffee table with a look of worry on her face. While entering the combination to open the box.

"Your d-arc! Give it here!" She said looking at her son.

Opening the lid as soon as the lock releases Lisa pulls out a folder and two packs of playing cards in a clear case and two D-arcs of a style never seen before and a micro-screwdriver set and places them on the table. Devon watches his mother's actions, as he hands her the d-arc, worry is on her face as she works quickly opening the D-arc's case with a mini-screwdriver and begins disassembling it. While working she asks Kithira some questions, rapid fire.

"Kithira, you said that five months ago members of your group started getting killed in both worlds. By chance did all of you get called for a meeting some months before? And did everyone show up for the meeting is now dead? And when they held this meeting did they want to up-grade everyone's D-arc at that time?"

Kithira thinks on it for a minute before answering.

"Yes to all three questions, but I don't see where this is going." Kithira said.

Removing what should be the last circuit board from the d-arc's case, Lisa finds what she's been looking for. Another circuit board with a small flashing light and a battery attached, this one she drops into the lock box and closes the lid. Lisa sighs in relief before speaking.

"At the meeting they didn't up-grade your d-arc they installed a tracking chip, that's how they have been able to find you. Devon go downstairs and get your pack and a couple changes of clothes, we haven't much time to get far away from here before someone's likely to notice that the chip is not sending its signal to base." Lisa said pointing toward the stairs for emphasis.

Devon starts to question his mother but by the look on her face, he knew it wouldn't be a good idea and headed downstairs. Kithira watches as Devon's mother opens the case of the red colored d-arc and then picks up one of the circuit boards from her now dismantled d-arc and pulls a chip from it. Lining up the chip with a slot in the red d-arc she pushes it in and snaps the case shut. Picking up the blue d-arc and a pack of playing cards and the folder Lisa hands them to Kithira.

"I don't have time to explain before Devon gets back just listen, this is my sons D-arc advanced and this deck of modify cards are designed just for him, this folder contains the only record of his true birth and other information you and him might find useful." Lisa began hurriedly.

Picking up the red D-arc advanced and deck of cards.

"I took the memory chip from your original d-arc and put it in this advanced model, it uses a lot less power for you to digivolve than that old one did, also both of these advanced models can't be tracked." Lisa said holding them out to Kithira.

Kithira takes the d-arc, folder and deck of cards from Lisa and puts them inside her long purple gauntlets; as Devon came running back into the room with his pack.

"Mother do you mind telling me what's going on?" asked Devon.

Handing Devon the red d-arc and deck of cards,

"This d-arc is for Kithira as are the modify cards in this deck." His mother said handing them to her son.

Pulling out her purse and removing the cash and a credit card she hands them to Devon.

"Here's all the cash I have it should be enough to get you to Hauser, this credit card is one of them prepaid ones so it can't be traced back to you or me. Now son I need you to go with Kithira no questions asked, go to the cabin we spent last summer in and I'll contact you by e-mail the password is Cole, when I think it's safe."

Looking at both of them,

"If you don't hear from me in a week leave the cabin and don't look back. Also, whatever you do don't come back home. Now go out the back door and don't look back. Kithira that folder has everything he needs to know, I think you understand." Lisa said looking at Kithira.

"But mother I just can't up and leave you here; what are you going to do? And what folder, what are you talking about?" Devon interrupted.

"Son I have to keep those that I think that are coming for Kithira off your back long enough for you two to get away; and the only way I can do that is to lure them with the tracking chip." Lisa said as she stood up quickly before picking up the lock box and her car keys and heading towards the kitchen and stopping at the garage door; Devon and Kithira following her, turning Lisa gives Devon a hug and kiss before going through the door.

Kithira puts her fur covered paw on Devon's shoulder,

"Come let's do as your mother has bid us." she said, as the car motor starts in the garage and the car pulls out.

Devon makes no sign that he is going to move so Kithira does the next best thing, she bodily picks Devon up and heads for the kitchen door knocking it off of its hinges when she reaches it with a well placed kick. Once outside she leaps to the rooftop and then bounds off across the rooftops carrying Devon. Devon is taken completely off guard by Kithira's actions and is speechless until almost a mile away.

"Kithira, stop and put me down!" Devon shouts over the rushing wind.

Kithira stops but doesn't put him down, looking down at him,

"What is wrong partner I'm only doing as you mother asked me to do, and that was for me to get you away from there." She said.

"I know but there are other ways of getting around besides bounding from roof top to roof top and attracting un-due attention to us; you know like the bus or train." Devon said.

"Where do we find this bus or train?" She asked him.

"Well first how about we get down to the street and then you can put me down, then and we can walk to the nearest bus stop." Devon said.

As easy as breathing air or walking Kithira leaps into the air and lands light footed on the street and sets Devon down on his feet. Taking a second to get his bearings, Devon is amazed at the actual distance they had traveled almost a mile in under two minutes.

Looking at Kithira, "You sure know how to move quickly, it would have taken me almost ten minutes to get here from home walking." He replied.

"In the digital world you have to move quickly or you don't survive long. Now where are we going?" She asked.

Devon walks up to the street sign and pushes the button and watches the traffic go by until the light changes.

"Come on kit." He says crossing the street.

Once on the other side of the street he walks over to the bus stop and checks the schedule times against his watch.

"We have about ten minutes before the bus shows up; might as well take a seat and wait." He says sitting down on the bench. Kithira walks over next to him and puts a paw on his shoulder and gives it a reassuring squeeze, but remains standing.

Meanwhile outside of Devon's house two black vans pull up into the front yard and disgorge troops, each armed with high power weapons and wearing body armor stenciled with FBI and other law enforcement patches. In true military manner and training the troops surround the house and commence with a full breech of the house. Within minutes the troops relax as they have discovered the house empty. Down the street a camera focuses on the proceedings at the house from inside a car parked at another house that's vacate and for sale. The lady inside the car watches on as another van pulls up and disgorges a group of men carrying scanning equipment enters the house and stays for almost an hour before leaving. A car pulls up on the street in front of the house marked with a Hypnos sign on the doors and a late twenties age man climbs out with a patamon sitting on his shoulder.

"Boy the players in this game are getting more and more interesting by the minute; First we have the J.A.S.F show up in full gear then some flunky from Hypnos with a orange puff ball on his shoulder, unreal, are you seeing this Dax?" Speaking into the mic on her collar.

"Yes I've watched every bit of it; I'd say whatever Kithira and Daryl uncovered is way too hot." Dax said.

"Well whatever it is, I'm going to hang out here and wait for everyone to leave and wait and see if they show back up." She said into the mic.

Over at the house an uniformed officer jumps out of one of the vans and walks over to the one that has been giving orders since they showed up who is talking to the guy from Hypnos. Speaking with him for a minute before turning and heads back to the van. The one in charge shouts out some orders and the troops load back into the vans quickly and leave like they were late for dinner, the Hypnos agent hops in his car and leaves with them. Before she has to ask for instructions, the speaker on her comlink chimes and Dax starts speaking.

"Kithira's warbler just showed up on the grid south bound Park road, check that she's now west bound I-90. She must be in a car or truck because she's moving too fast to be running." Dax said in her ear.

She thinks a moment before responding;

"I'll stay here and watch the place, Kithira and Daryl didn't know they were being tracked, and we didn't discover the tracking device was installed until after David and Golath were killed two months ago. By then her and Daryl had gone to ground and out of touch." Deb replies.

The comlink stays quite for a minute before coming back to life.

"Very well Deb; it's your call I just hope it's the right one." Dax said before closing the comlink.

Fifteen minutes later miles away downtown on the I-90 freeway west bound, a semi-truck is being pulled over. Then surrounded by police, as well as two black vans full of troops. After five minutes of searching the truck, one of the troops calls for the commander.

"Commander you need to come over here and look at this." The trooper call waving at the commander.

Walking over to the trooper.

"What have you got Brooks? The commander asked.

"I found the tracker taped on that cows horn, pointing at the cow, sir!" The trooper said snapping of a crisp salute.

Turning on his comlink.

"Base, deactivate the tracker for Kithira it's been removed from the d-arc and notify command central we may have a rouge agent and digimon on the loose." The commander said into his microphone closing the link before receiving a response from their base.

Hours later at Devon's house:

Tired of sitting in the car doing nothing, Deb gets out and acts as if she's looking at the house for sale, moving to the back yard of the house she looks for any sign of being watched and slips out the back gate into the ally. She then heads down the alley to the back of Daryl's house like she belongs there. Hoping the chain link fence with ease the first thing Deb notice's is the back door is laying some ten feet away from the house on the ground.

"Well now I know how they left, better check the house." Deb said thinking to herself.

Entering the house through the door into the kitchen and then into the rest of the house. After verifying that she's alone in the house, Deb walks through the house room after room looking for anything and everything that might give her a clue as to where Daryl and Kithira were going. Stopping in the living room, she makes a mental note of the three teacups on the coffee table now long gone cold and the remains of a dismantled D-arc. Looking through the circuit boards of the D-arc she spots the memory chip has been removed.

Activating the comlink;

"Dax, I'm inside Daryl's house and you're not going to like what I found" She says.

"Whoa, I thought that you were going to stay in the car? What are you doing in the house?" Dax asked.

"I'm collecting Intel and be glad I did, I've found Daryl's D-arc dismantled on the coffee table with the memory chip removed and the tracking chip missing." She said.

"Well look around and see if you can find any clues about where they are going. And I'll keep an eye on the network for any sign of them here." Dax said.

Looking around the living room nothing unusual to set it apart from any other family home; couch with end tables, pictures on the walls, older TV on a stand etc. Reaching down and picking up a picture from the end table next to the couch, she looks at it and sees a picture of Daryl's family.

"Boy this picture is old taken before he joined, Daryl's family I take it; let's see there's Daryl and his mother, his father and his baby brother. Funny he never talked about them, and here I thought he had told me everything about himself," Deb talking out loud to herself.

She starts to set the picture back down were she found it but stops spotting something not right with the picture.

"What's wrong with this picture?" said Deb curiously.

Turning the frame over she releases the clasp that holds the back on it and removes the frame back plate, the picture was folded over to conceal another four inches of it. Pulling the picture from the frame, she unfolds it to revile the hidden part; a male renomon standing off to one side of the family with a cabin in the background.

"I can't believe my eyes a male renomon with Daryl's family, but males never leave the digital world much less their villages, I got to tell Dax about this."

She says as she starts to key the comlink but stops when the sound of a pistol being cocked and placed against her head.

"Who are you? And what do you want with my family?" Lisa says her voice guttural and menacing.

Chapter 3

Meanwhile on the bus in eastern Washington state:

Devon soon became very lost in thought.

"A lot has happened in the last 12 hours, Daryl possibly dead and us on the run. And Kithira, she's a looker even for a digimon, I wouldn't mind losing my virginity to her one bit, what the heck if it happens it happens. And here we are running away from some threat that mom thinks is going to appear out of nowhere. Then there's the whole matter of their private talk like I didn't hear the majority of it. What's mother hiding from me? Not enough answers for my questions and Kithira doesn't seem forth coming on any of it. Then there's the matter of Kithira; how was I able to bring her here from the digital world and bypass all of the firewalls and who knows what other security Hypnos has installed over the last ten years. Then there is my attraction to Kithira which is evident by this painful erection that I've had for the last half an hour or so. This puzzle keeps getting bigger and bigger by the minute. "

In the seat next to him Kithira is dealing with troubling thoughts of her own.

"The time to grieve is yet to come for Daryl and Kassy, I cannot allow it to override my thoughts and actions from here on out. Who is hunting us, and why? I must protect Devon with every fiber of my being; yet does he need protecting? And the D-arc advanced that his mother gave me; she said it was his, but why would a human need a D-arc? It's not like he can digivolve like a digimon. And then there is the folder; what secrets does it hold for Devon?"

A feeling of insatiable arousal comes over her that she hasn't felt in a long time disrupting her train of thought.

"It can't be! Not now, I'm not due for several months yet!" Kit thought disbelievingly.

Looking out the window a black van like the ones Hypnos use passes by at well over the speed limit with its' emergency lights flashing, leaning over toward Devon.

"We need to get off the bus now." She warned.

"But why? We're not even close to the state line yet?" Devon asked a confused look on his face.

"That van that just passed us with the lights flashing, I recognized it as a Hypnos van and its' probably going to be waiting for us at the state line. Besides I know that I don't want to meet them; so why give them the pleasure of our company." She said standing up.

Devon follows suit and heads to the front of the bus with Kithira.

"We need to get off the bus now, please." Said Kithira to the bus driver.

"There's not another authorized bus stop until the state line, sorry I'm not losing my job by letting you off here in the middle of nowhere." The driver said in disbelief.

Kithira flashes her claws at the bus driver.

"I think you'll make an exception for us; or I'll rip the door off and we'll jump, it's your choice." Kithira said almost threatening.

"Besides we didn't have any luggage except my carry on, so really how long would it take for you to slow the bus down for us to hop off and you get going again?" Devon asked trying to get the driver to see reason.

"Ok, ok I'll let you all off." The driver said as he slows the bus down for them to hop off and continues on his way.

On the side of the state highway Devon and Kithira watch as the bus picks up speed and is gone. Turning to Kithira, Devon looks her up and down for a minute before speaking.

"I can understand why you don't want to run into the Hypnos goon squad; Hell, I don't want to either. But did we have to get off the bus in the middle of nowhere U.S.A.?" Devon complained.

"Hypnos is a small concern at this moment to me, Devon. I'm more concerned about us getting somewhere safe; now which way too this cabin from here?" Kithira asked.

(Devon pointed to the north east,) "That way twenty miles or so as the crow flies." Devon said.

"Then lets get going it will be dark soon and we'll need to find a place to spend the night." Kithira said.

"You must be crazy to think that I'm going to walk a 20 or 30 miles cross country through the woods." Devon said in shock.

"No I'm not crazy, and what makes you think I was speaking of walking partner?" Asked Kithira as she picks Devon up in her arms and leaps up and over the state highway avoiding a couple of semi-trucks and smaller cars and bounds off in the direction he pointed carrying him.

Devon unable to do anything else wraps one arm over her shoulder and hangs on.

"Boy can she move, and so strong; I never knew a renamon could make leaps like the ones she's making. How far have we traveled already? The joke is on Hypnos, let them try to track us out here. Damn I hate to admit it even to myself but I so want to take her bed and make love to her all night and day, the smell of her fur and even the brief smell and taste of her pussy this morning is still got me a raging hard-on. Check that, it's worse now that she's holding me so close. Boy do I need to jack off and relieve the pressure in my balls!" Devon whimpered mentally.

"I'd much rather travel this way instead of that bus, too easy of a target to hit. Really easy to get killed in one of those things. He's so light, almost like I'm carrying nothing at all. Well he is smaller than Daryl was but a lot better looking. I'm coming into my season and there's not a male renamon to be had in this world. I feel so ashamed of myself, I wouldn't commit to Daryl as my mate and can't now. And now by some strange quirk of fate his brother is my new human partner and is attracted to me, or at least it appears to be that way. And by the tent in his paints I'd say so, wonder if he knows how to use it? But what caused me to go into my season? Surely not his light breath and tongue on my snatch this morning, the power surge from the d-arc maybe. Need to ask him what that modify card was that he used today on me to save my life for the second time. I'm getting tired and dusk is upon us, time to find a place to stay for the night." Kithira thought.

Dropping to the ground Kithira puts Devon down on his feet.

"We're far enough away from the highway now that we can stay on the ground for a while" Kithira said.

"I don't believe it we've traveled at least fifteen miles in the last hour, or so it seems.

"Besides I was going to ask you to stop anyway, I need to relieve myself badly." Devon said stepping behind a tree.

Kithira's ears pick up the sound of water hitting the ground and a sigh of relief from Devon; curious she peeks around the tree to see Devon shake the water from the tip of his member and then stroke it a few times before returning it to his pants.

"He's more endowed than Daryl was, that's a plus." Kithira thought as a wave of arousal washes through her and down to her sex, causing her to shudder with need.

Moving over to another tree she squats and relieves herself as well before Devon notices her watching. As the last drops of urine drip from her; Kit bends down and licks herself clean tasting the urine, then the juices from her pussy imbued with the scent and flavors of her heat. The taste of herself caused her to continue licking well beyond being clean. Enthralled from the self-pleasure of her tongue Kit fails to see that Devon is watching. Devon walks around the tree back in time to see her bend down and start licking her snatch. As he watches Kit's body is twitching in pre orgasmic bliss. Unable to help himself; Devon pulls his cock out and starts his own self pleasures, mentally imagining that he is licking Kit's pussy again instead. Devon watches on as Kit gets closer and closer to her orgasm, his own approaching just as quickly. Her audible whimpers of arousal where getting louder by the moment, unable to contain his own Devon groans as his seed shoots from his cock causing Kit to look up in surprise. An awkward moment of silence passes before either one of them spoke or moved.

"Devon I don't know what to say; my season is upon me and I couldn't help myself" Kithira said her skin beneath her fur red with embarasment.

Devon moves toward her not speaking the last drips of his sperm dripping from his cock; he kneels down to her and lightly runs a hand across her cheek.

"Don't say anything lets enjoy this moment together." He replied.

His hand trailed lightly down her neck and chest to cup her breast. Her body responds to his touch, her breath and heart beat begin to race as he caresses her breast, his other hand dropping to her pussy and starts caressing it. Refusing to let her base nature take over Kithira puts a hand to Devon's chest and stops his advances to her.

"We can't, not yet I'm not in full heat yet and unable to accommodate anything larger than my finger." Kithira said regretfully pulling away from him and standing up.

"Besides we've wasted enough time here and we need to go." she said walking in the direction they had been traveling.

"Yeah right." Devon said the disappointment in his voice apparent as he gets up and jogs to catch up to Kithira.

"Damn that was way too hot; I didn't know that a Renamon could bend like a cat. I wonder if she could bend like that while being fucked? I can think of way too many uses for that tongue, besides I would have settled for just a blow job. Hell just that tongue on my balls would have put me into orbit. Wonder if she and my brother ever did anything like foreplay? I wonder what she thought about seeing me blow like that, hope I didn't embarrass her. Her scent is getting stronger now; I can smell it from ten feet away and damn I'm getting another hard-on." Devon thought to himself lustfully.

"I wish my heat hadn't happened now I can't even truly mourn for Daryl or Kassy. Now my heat has come and the only one around is Devon, wonder if I can get him to put that tool of his in the right place? He sure can shoot that's for sure; besides the smell of it on him is causing my juices to flow and soon my nature will take over. Hope we can find some place soon. My urge to mate is getting stronger, but we need to find a place for the night before anything like that can happen. " Kit contemplated worriedly.

Time passes as they walk and the sun begins to sink toward the horizon before Kithira's keen eyes see a place for the night. Stopping Kithira blinks her eyes and looks again at what she thought was there.

"Devon look over there at the side of the hill about half way up, what is that"? She asks pointing up the hill.

Devon looks in the direction she's pointing.

"Your eyes are better than mine all I'm seeing is trees, trees and more trees." Devon said in playfully sarcasm.

Picking Devon up Kithira bounds up the hill toward the vague outline; as they get closer more details become visible in the fading light. A cabin sits over grown and long unused overlooking the valley, its door gone and the windows likewise are a few details that Kithira see's before dropping to ground in front of the cabin. Setting Devon down; Kithira moves toward the cabin eyes alert and ears standing up listening for any sound from inside the cabin before walking to the door and looking in. Inside she sees a mess left by the forest inhabitants for some years in the one room cabin; leaves and dirt have blown in through the open door and glassless windows covering everything. Stepping inside she finds a makeshift table with a broken chair; past that there is a fireplace and a small kitchen on the back wall. To her left is a bed of sorts with a chest at the foot; and to the right is shelves on the wall there. Turning toward Devon; she jumps a little not realizing that Devon was right behind her.

"It's not much; but at least it's a place to stay the night." she said to Devon.

Stepping inside Devon allows his eyes to adjust to the darker interior, looking side to side Devon takes in the cabin.

"You weren't kidding, at least we'll be somewhere dry if the weather turns nasty." said Devon as he drops his pack on the table.

From his pocket, he pulls out his keys and turns on the flashlight attached to the ring. Looking around the cabin Devon spots what he hoped to find hanging on a wall, an oil lantern. Walking over to it, he pulls the lantern down and gives it a shake; no sound comes from the lantern.

"Damn the oil has evaporated, take a look in those boxes on the shelves and I'll check out this chest by the bed for anything of use." Devon said putting the lamp down on the table.

"Why not just start a fire in the fireplace for light? Kithira asking as she steps up to the shelves and pulled down one of the boxes to look in it.

"Because the smoke could be seen for miles; to top it off, this place is so old it'd probably end up setting the whole place on fire." Devon replied as he opens the chest.

Shinning the flashlight into the chest he sees mice eaten blanket and a whole family of mice that squeak in terror as the light hits them causing Devon to jump back and drop the lid of the chest. Kithira is in front of Devon in a flash upon hearing the squeak from the mice, claws extended ready to attack.

"Are you ok? What attacked you? Point it out and I'll kill it. "Kithira asked rapid fire. Devon couldn't help but to laugh at Kithira's over reaction.

"It's just a family of mice they can't hurt me or you, don't worry about them." said Devon his arms wrapping around Kithira's waist and his head on her shoulder.

Kithira's body shuddered at his touch, her tail involuntarily pulling to one side of her body exposing her sex.

"Does he want to mate with me or is he just holding me? His touch is nice though and the things it's doing to me; I've been too long without a mate this way! But if I mate with him would a child come from it or would it be just for pleasure? Do I even want another child this soon or even the possibility of one." Kithira thought.

Devon's hands cupping her lower breasts bring her out of her reflective thoughts.

"She's so protective of me already, less than a day together and already standing in front of me ready to battle whatever comes our way. She is nothing like the Digimon I've known. Hell Ellen is a yellow Renamon just like Kit yet she's nothing like her. I know Ellen battles once in a while in the battle dome games like the human Olympic games, but that's all it is...games. It's not real life or death battles like Kit is obviously used to. Another thing I don't quite understand is why I'm drawn to Kithira so strongly, I guess it could be teenage testosterone but is feels like it's more than that, almost like we were meant to be together. Her fur is so soft and the smell of it, no her is so arousing that I'm having a really hard time controlling myself; I just don't understand why she is affecting me this way." Devon thought to himself.

Devon's hands move up to her lower breast. A small aroused gasp comes from Kithira's lips as she shudders under his touch. Turning her head slightly towards Devon's, her tongue lightly licks his cheek and her tail wraps around him as a sign of affection. Devon turns her around to face him.

"Why am I drawn to you; is it your beauty or is it that intoxicating smell of your fur or both? Right here and now I feel like I've waited for you all my life; why is that?" Devon asked before kissing her passionately for a moment and holding her tightly against him before breaking the kiss and looking into her eyes.

"I don't know Devon, no more than why you are doing the same thing to me. Normally only a male Renamon would have this kind of effect on me, but you're not a Renamon. But I guess that doesn't matter right now. You are here when I am in need. That's all I care about at the moment." Replied Kit her heat deeply coloring her tone with sexual need.

Kit watched as Devon knelt and then wrapped his lips around her lower nipple, licking and suckling as hard or as light as he needed to, to please her. The moans and whimpers of her rising arousal were his reward. He switched often, licking and sucking on each of her 6 breasts until all of them were well soaked by his lavish attentions. Kit was now breathing heavily.

"Mmm, D- Don't St- please...Don't stop." Kithira begged lustfully.

"I will but only if you tell me to, agreed?" replied Devon his own desire blatant in his tone.

A nod was visible from Kithira. With that Devon was satisfied enough with her answer. He decided to continue his lip service for Kit. He again kissed Kithira with everything he could. Hoping she would feel his passion and arousal in this kiss and return it in spades. She did with an all-consuming animalistic passion common with her kind. Their tongues entwined around each other and in their fervid passion Devon's tongue was slightly nicked by Kit's sharp teeth. The taste of Devon's blood aroused her even more. He then began to lick a trail between her breast, making her shudder with pleasure and anticipation. Devon continued down onto her stomach and then lower still. "Oh I hope he doesn't stop, yes down farther, this feels so good! I'm so close to cumming! He is so... torturously slow but it feels so good. Oh Blessed Mother I can feel it! When I do cum it's going to be huge." Kithira thought impassioned by her heat.

Then Devon finally was able to smell her nether scent without interruptions and the smell was sweet and was reminiscent faintly of pine and cinnamon. An audible groan of his heightened arousal was heard, his mouth watered as he was looking at a favorite food or treat that he had not had in way too long!

"In my wildest dreams never have I ever thought this would be happening to me, let alone me being a tamer to one of the most sought after digimon, and to top it off I'm going to lose my virginity to one." Devon mused.

Devon pushes the fur covering her sex out of the way to expose her swollen hood. Her hood is reminiscent of a canine bitch here in the real world. The fluids of her heat had darkened the fur of the hood and as Devon gazed lustfully, a drop of her nectar fell toward the floor. A groan escaped from Kithira's mouth as Devon's hot breath washed across her slit. Devon unable to contain himself any longer, he lightly tastes of her heat with his tongue enticing purrs of pleasure from her that he could feel with his tongue not just hear. Kithira's fingers roam through his hair and gently pushed his mouth closer to her slit; Holding him there not wanting him to stop, wanting to feel his tongue find her clit and lick her to a much needed release of pent up sexual tension. Devon laps lightly at her hood savoring the taste of her heat his saliva coating her hood before pushing the tip of his tongue into her. Feeling his tongue enter her slit Kithira pushes on the back of Devon's head forcing him forward; her hood enveloped by his mouth and his tongue pressing into her painfully but erotic. Finding her clit Devon suckles on it as he had done to her nips earlier with as just as much zeal. While enjoying his feast of hot renamon snatch, he looks up to watch her reactions as he tongue lashes her clit in the near darkness of the cabin. Kithira gasps as his tongue lashes her clit repeatedly, the tender folds of her swollen muff causing some pain but it is more erotic than hurtful, if anything adding to her own building orgasm.

Working his tongue on her clit, Devon watches as Kithira's eyes close and her body starts to shake and then goes tense as she throws her head back and howls out her orgasm. His mouth is flooded with the flow of her orgasm; swallowing as much as possible he is amazed at the sheer volume of it. Kithira's hands clamp down on his head not allowing him to pull away until after her orgasm has passed, releasing him she looks down and smiles; and then steps away on wobbly legs, turning her back to him she crouches down on all fours and pulls her tail out of the way exposing herself to him.

"Devon I give myself to you willingly as your lover and mate. May your seed grant us many children in the years to come. Will you accept me as your lover and mate? " Kithira asked looking over her shoulder.

"I forsake all other mates for you Kithira, never will my seed grace another. May your womb bare us many children in the years to come." Devon answers without needing to thinking about it.

"Then come and claim me as yours my mate." Kithira said happy with his answer but a bit surprised." I'll ask him later about that." Kit thought to herself as Devon started to disrobe.

As he walks to her, Kithira watches as he removes his clothes. His penis released finally stands upturned against his belly swollen so much that the tip has turned almost purple, Kithira shudders at the sight of it, her hood pulling up into mating position; never had she seen another renamon endowed as Devon. Devon kneels down behind her and leaning over breaths in her scent again, slowly he runs his hands through the fur on her legs and up to her waist. Kithira twitches and moans as he runs his hands across her legs and to her waist, His hands tighten on her waist as he moves closer his chest brushes across her tail and butt causing her to moan louder in need and anticipation of what's going to happen. Devon pushes forward gently with his hips, the head of his penis rubs against her leg at first but he adjusts and pumps forward again. The tip of his cock presses against her nectar covered hood and slowly he enters her not wanting to hurt her. At the same time both of them moan in pleasure, she from him entering and him from the heat wrapped around his cock. Slowly he pushes his cock into her until his pelvic bone is pressing against her asshole, Kithira shudders and moans louder as his girth stretches her to the limit.

"Please, mate me slowly until I can get use to your size." She whimpers salaciously.

As he starts pump his cock into her he reaches forward and starts playing with her nips again, causing her to twitch at first then shudder as combined with the fucking pushes her to new heights.

"Oh, please don't slow down. Keep going, yes that's it rub my nips, oh your cock is so big it keeps rubbing my clit with each thrust. I don't know how long I will be able to hold off my orgasm at this rate. I can't hold it! Ooh, I can't ! I'm cumming!!!" Kithira growled wantonly.

Below Devon Kithira shudders and then starts shaking her head side to side before howling out her orgasm, her sexual muscles clamping down on Devon's cock causing him to groan and moan as she clamps down so hard that he is unable to move. As her howl dies away and her hold on his cock lessens.

"Devon, please!! I can't stand it this slow take me fast and hard don't hold back I can take it." Kithira said in a wanton begging tone almost pleading.

Releasing her nips from his grasp, Devon grabs her by the waist and begins to pick up speed his cock almost coming out as he pulls back before thrusting forward again; the force of his thrusts lifting her up almost off the ground.

"I can't, I can't hold off any longer, I'm fixing to cum Kit." Devon says his voice guttural and beast like.

Kithira's third orgasm starts as a low moan then raises to an ear hurting howl as it washes over her; her juices flooding her vagina as it clamps down on Devon's cock. Devon yells as her orgasm pushes him over the edge; powerful surges of sperm erupt from his cock filling her vagina causing her to orgasm yet again. Devon slumps against her back his breath coming in ragged gasps, her breathing is the same as his. Slowly Kithira lays down on the floor, Devon still inside of her, with her vaginal muscles clamping and relaxing milking him of the last of his seed. They both lay there on the floor of the cabin his arms wrapped around her; his hands caressing her in post orgasmic bliss. Ten minutes later as he slips out of her; Devon slides off and lay's down next to her.

Rolling onto her side, she traces a gloved hand along his shoulder and down his arm to rest her hand at his waist. She then remembers the question she wanted to ask him.

"Tell me when did you learn the words to the renamon mating ritual? I didn't know humans knew of it." Kithira asked in a soft voice and pleased look on her face.

"I didn't learn the words to this ritual you speak of; I spoke what was in my heart and soul nothing more nothing less, anything else would have been a lie." Devon said with a matter of fact tone in his voice.

Looking pleased by his statement, she nods her head before continuing.

"True there are no words to be spoken in ritual form, only a simple question with a simple answer, but the answer is what matters the most to a female renamon." Kithira said softly.

"It was a test then to see if I would be honest with you, nothing more or less. Moreover, the words we spoke I suppose meant nothing. " Devon asked as he stands up looking for his clothes somewhat miffed.

Standing up Kithira grabs Devon by the arms stopping his search for his clothes, and turning him to face her she kisses him passionately and wraps her arms around him. Breaking the kiss but not her hold on him Kithira looks into his eyes and speaks.

"The unquestionable truth of your words meant everything to me, and what I said was also true. Renamon only give ourselves willingly to another when we have chosen a mate. Otherwise, it is for breeding only with no emotional attachments between the two. I have chosen you Devon Thackry above all others that I could have chosen in two worlds. I chose you to bind myself with for life to be my mate regardless of what happens," said Kit her voice almost a sob with tears in her eyes.

Devon's arms wrap around her mid-section his fingers running through her short body fur, unintentionally running across erogenous spots on her body enticing a gasp from her and a small tremble to course through her body in response, Devon's penis responding to the feel of her soft belly fur.

"What else, can I say, except that I'm somewhat ashamed of myself for thinking and saying the wrong things, I didn't mean for you to think that I was angry with you for the test, I just wasn't excepting it that's all. Kit your my first to mate with. Now and forever you're mate. That's what matters to me. I just do not know your ways and I will need to learn them if I'm to someday go with you to the digital world to meet your family." Devon said.

Kithira looks up at him and licks him on the cheek then looks down at Devon's now standing erection.

"Oh, my don't you recover quickly, good because I need it now!" Kit said her voice sounding very guttural with her rising need.

Kithira tries to pull away but Devon has other plans as he bends down, grabs both her thighs, and picks her up spreading her legs wide in the process and opening her slit also. Her almost 300 pounds of lean muscle and soft fur, feel more like he's picking up a feather rather than a strong battle proven fox Digimon. The cool mountain night air washes across her now exposed wet clit sending a shiver through her body, seconds before Devon lowers her onto his raging hard-on until it is buried to the hilt in her pussy. Yelping in surprise Kithira shudders as his cock rubs her clit and then as it pushes deep inside it hits a hidden spot causing a small orgasm to course through her. Kithira wraps her arms around Devon's neck and legs around his waist as the orgasm dies away.

She holds on tight as he carries her over to the makeshift table and lays her down. Placing her so that her tail and butt are hanging off of it, Devon kisses her passionately enticing a low moan from her as he pulls away to standing between her spread legs. Changing his grip on her legs, he spreads them as far as he can. Her ruff he easily pushes out of the way, giving him an unrestricted view of her pussy spread wide by his cock. Slowly he pulls back and watches as his cock slides out of her almost coming free from her hood he pushes it back in. As his penis dives back into the depths of her sex she moans louder as his head brushes her clit sending a wave of pure pleasure throughout her body. Devon props her left leg over his right shoulder freeing his right hand to work elsewhere. Kithira lets go of his neck as he stands between her upturned legs; as he slowly starts to thrust into her she pulls her chest ruff out of the way exposing her breasts to his view.

The look on Devon's face is all she needs to see as she starts rubbing her own nips making them stand up for him. She watches as Devon's free hand lightly grazes the fur on her right thigh traveling down to disappear behind it, his hand cups her butt cheek for a second then travels inward toward her asshole and the base of her tail. She gasps as one of his fingers lightly touches her fluid covered tail hole; and then outlines it causing another wave of pleasure to wash over her. Slowly he wets his finger in the juices that have escaped past his penis and run down her crack and over her asshole. Gently he rubs her asshole and then when the muscle starts to relax he slowly pushes the finger into her up to the first joint. Hearing no cries from her for him to stop he slowly pushes the rest of his finger into her ass. Kithira moans louder as the finger invades her, coupled with his large shaft rubbing on her clit and the hidden spot within, Kithira's body explodes in wave after wave of pleasure as his penis and finger piston in and out of her. As the pressure in his balls start to build, Devon removes his finger from her asshole and moves his hands her hips. With both hands he grips her waist and starts picking up the pace, ramming his rock hard cock into her pussy as deep as it can go his balls slapping her asshole and tail base. Kithira's moaning and groaning goes to a new level as Devon's cock sends her into more wanton desire. Her pussy muscles start contracting and releasing as her orgasm approaches; sweat drips off Devon as Kithira's muscles start grasping his cock harder with each passing second.

Looking up at Devon.

"YES, OH, YES MAKE ME YOURS, FILL ME WITH YOUR SEED!" She screams out as her orgasm takes her voice and control of her body away.

Devon rams his cock into her as hard as he can pushing her back on the table as her cunt clamps down on him locking him inside of her. He screams as the pressure on his rod forces his own orgasm, powerful jets of sperm fill her womb as his balls draw up against the base of his cock sandwiched between the two of them. Each of them shudder and twist with the force of their mutual orgasms, their screams fade away to the sound of each of them trying to catch their breath and recover control over their bodies. Weak-kneed, Devon holds onto the table for support. Kit then wraps her legs around Devon's waist and notices a growing brightness in the room. It is as bright as day in the room almost blinding. Her eyes grow wide in surprise when she discovers the source, Devon

"Oh shit! He's glowing! If I didn't know better I'd say he was about to digivolve! But that is not possible, there is no way...he is not a digimon, but his mother gave me a D-Arc Advanced saying it was his... I don't understand." Kithira thought and becoming more confused by the moment.

She moved her paw and felt something poke her wrist uncomfortably under her gauntlet. She remembered then what it was.

"The file and the cards, only digimon can use the cards though. Nevertheless, his mother said that 'these were made specifically for Devon'. Could he be some sort of Digimon hybrid of some kind? But how? So many... too many unanswered questions! After he is asleep, I must read that folder. It will probably answer all my questions." Kit thought to herself.

Devon kissed her lovingly, passionate of which Kit returned wholeheartedly.

"Morning comes early Devon, I am sated for now, and lets' see if that bed is serviceable, on second thought, let's make a pallet. Lord knows what kinds of critters have made their home in that thing. I sure as hell don't want them crawling around in my fur." Kithira said disdainfully.

Devon chuckled.

"Good idea, I don't care much for that idea either." Devon replied both amused at Kit and disgusted by the prospect of who know what kinds of creatures crawling all over him as he slept.

A few minutes later Devon was able to pull out of Kithira, and he began to lay out the pallet.

"I have to go relieve myself. I'll be back in a minute or two." Kit politely informed Devon.

"Ok try not to get out of hearing range or sight of the cabin ok?" requested Devon.

Kit simply nodded and went outside. She quickly found a place and took care of business. Afterwards she took a little extra time to look over the contents of the folder. Inside of the folder, she finds an 8x10 picture of Devon and his family at this cabin she thinks they are going too. She starts to set the picture down but then looks at it more closely when she realizes that she has seen it before only smaller. In the picture there is another figure standing off to one side on the porch of the cabin; a silver renomon. A renomon with Devon's family when he was young; was his father or mother a tamer at one time. The other things in the folder, a DVD in a case marked classified with a long string of numbers printed on it and a note saying (user: Lisa, pass: birth) and a couple sealed letters addressed to Devon.

"What does the renomon have to do with Devon and his family, and why didn't Daryl tell me about the renomon? I wonder what's on this DVD, some secret about Devon's past. And the letters to Devon are they from his father or maybe the renomon? I've been out too long, better get back to Devon before he comes looking for me." Kit says to herself.

Putting the stuff back in the folder Kithira returns it to her gauntlet and heads back to the cabin. As she approaches the cabin, Devon steps outside with his pants and shoes on.

"I was beginning to get worried about you, what took so long?" He asks obviously concerned.

"Like humans I also have to defecate from time to time not just pass water, besides I needed to clean myself up. She said licking her lips for emphasis." Kit chided Devon gently.

"Well I'm glad you're back because now it's my turn, he said rushing off behind a tree." Devon replied relieved.

Kithira stands by the door waiting on him to return; the sound of his water hitting the ground comes to her ears even from this far away, along with his sigh of relief. While she waits for his return, she pulls out the D-arc advanced and looks it over. Not much different than the one Daryl and hundreds of other tamers had. Except for the reduced power requirement for the Digivolution process, wondering what would happen she points the D-arc in Devon's general direction and pushes the scan button.

The holo-display lights up showing Devon's vitals:

Name: Devon Thackry

Health: 100%

Power: 100%

Lvl: Rookie

Type: Human-Digimon Hybrid

Attacks: Diamond storm, unable to analyze

Caught off guard by what the holo-display had shown, she sits down right where she stood. "I was right! He is a hybrid. Could that mean that, that Silver Renomon is his father? I can't ask Devon, He obviously doesn't have a clue." Kithira mumbled to herself completely blown away by this new information.

Kit was still trying to get over the shock when she heard Devon on his way back. She almost was caught by Devon returning from the woods as surprised as she was. She quickly stuffed the D-arc back into her gauntlet before he sees it. When Devon got back to the cabin, she smiled at him.

"Come on; let's get some sleep." Kithira suggested a lot more calm than she actually felt.

Devon returned her smile then yawned suddenly. Kithira sees Devon's canines were a lot sharper and longer than normal humans would normally be, by about a half-inch.

"That confirms it. That Silver Renomon is his father. But how could that be? I thought digimon and humans couldn't have cubs together. I wondered if it could be possible, but I thought we were genetically incompatible. Hmm...obviously not, well that's good news for us. At least my Dam won't be out to get my data like she tried to when she found out I had decided to take Daryl as my mate. Ooh he's half-Renomon. O-K...that explains a lot. I wonder what his champion form looks like. Ooh, I getting wet at the prospect. But we have to get some sleep." Kithira considered to herself and she begins to become lost within her thoughts.

Devon nods and follows Kithira into the cabin and laid down on the pallet he made while Kithira was out relieving herself, Kithira joining him snuggling up to him. Within minutes Devon is asleep next to her, Kithira lay awake for sometime thinking of the events of the day.

"This morning I was sure that Daryl and I were Hypnos agents and we were doing as we had been told. Which was to evade capture and foil any threat to either world we found out about, now I'm not so sure. Daryl is more than likely dead, rather than captured in the digital world, and here I am in the real world hiding with his younger brother (now my mate) in the middle of the woods in some falling down old cabin. Then there's his mother the folder and that picture; and his D-arc advanced that his mother gave me. Maybe in the morning we can have a look at the folder together and figure some of this out before we leave. Enough of this, I need to get some sleep also." As Kithira calms her mind for sleep Devon wraps an arm around her protectively, reaffirming her choice to mate with him earlier that evening.

Back at Devon's house earlier that day:

"I'm Deb a friend of your son Daryl from the agency." Deb said.

"How can I believe you? Ask you some question that's more than likely in his file, or some off the wall question no one would know about him. Or better yet, I could just blow your head off and be done with it." Lisa said threatening with a wave of the pistol.

"Look I'll answer all your questions in due time, but for now let's just say I don't mean you or Daryl any harm. If anything I've come to help him in any way I can and if that means saving his family then so be it." Deb replied.

"Now why would you do something like that?" Lisa asked extremely suspicious of the intruder.

"Because I owe him for more than one time or another for saving my life and at one time I loved him, I still do." Deb said hoping that Lisa's finger didn't slip on the trigger.

"You expect me to believe that, after you broke into my home and looked around like you owned the place!" Lisa said, the gun waving nervously in her hand.

"Look, we really don't have time to play 20 questions right now; Daryl and Kithira could be in real trouble about now and every minute you delay me is a minute I lose in finding them." Deb said now worried.

Uncocking and lowering the gun, "I don't trust you, but to protect my family I'll listen." Lisa said.

Deb sighs in relief, "First let's get out of here, with the J.A.S.F. and Hypnos nosing around while you were gone earlier I wouldn't put it past them to bug this house. Second if there's anything here you can't leave behind grab it and let's go." Deb said a worried tone in her voice.

Lisa nods and goes to the hallway closet and pulls out a worn leather satchel from the shelf and puts it on; opening the flap she puts the gun in the satchel and checks the contents. Pulling out a digivice, she checks the power readings then replaces it the satchel.

Seeing the old digivice, Deb comments on it; "Talk about antique's I haven't seen anything that old except in the museum when I was at Hypnos training academy."

"Some of us are older than we look, shall we get going or are you going to stand there all day?" Lisa asked.

Outside the sound of tires screeching reaches their ears; causing them both to turn their heads toward the front of the house. Looking out the living room window Deb see's the two black vans from J.A.S.F. slide to a stop in front of the house.

"Out the back and into the alley quickly!" Deb said as she shoved the picture in a pocket and moves to the hallway pointing toward the back door in the kitchen.

Lisa runs down the hallway and out the back door jumping off the back steps with Deb on her heels as a voice comes over a loud speaker from the front of the house.

"Deb you and Mrs. Thackry come on out of the house nice and easy and I won't have to scatter your data all over the place, come out now!" An unidentified voice shouted out front.

After hoping, the fence Lisa crosses the alleyway and starts to dive across the neighbor's fence but Deb stops her with a hand on her arm.

"My car is this way." Deb said pointing down the alleyway.

"But mines here in the driveway in front of this house." Lisa said.

"They can pull your plates and post an apb on it, mines a rental and fully covered." Deb said.

Lisa shrugs her shoulders.

"Ok you lead I'll follow." Lisa replied."

As they are running down the alleyway the loud speaker is keyed up again; "Ok, last warning come out or else!"

Leading Lisa through the empty house's backyard and around the house, Deb keys the comlink to Dax.

"Dax, I've got Daryl's mother and we're making our way to my car now." Deb said into the microphone of her com unit.

"Deb, I sure hope you know what you're doing...." (comlink goes dead) cutting off Dax's answer.

"Damn they're jamming the coms, we're on our own now." Deb said turning off the comlink.

Crouching down Deb leads Lisa to the side of the car and opens the door.

"Get in and stay in the floor." Deb said as she climbs in the front seat.

Peaking up over the side of the door Lisa looks down the street at her house and the twenty goons parked in the street in military armor.

"All of this because they're after Daryl and Kithira, why?" Lisa asked dismayed by the show of force.

"Why else, because they did the same thing that I and Dax did; we answered a phone call that changed our lives and set us apart from everything and everyone we ever knew and loved." Deb replied.

From down the street Lisa watches helplessly as a trooper in J.A.S.F. armor shoulders a launcher of some sort and aims it at her family's home, and fires. The home is gone in a flash as it is digitalized and sent to the digital world, leaving a smoking hole in the ground where it once stood. The job done the troopers load back into the vans and depart within minutes.

Silently Lisa moves into the front seat next to Deb and puts the seat belt on.

"Let's go find my son and Kithira before these animals get to them." Lisa said in a very hostile voice.

"We will, but first let's get far away from here first." Deb said as she started the car.

Pulling out of the driveway Deb turns the car the opposite way the vans went and takes off down the street.

Chapter 4

In Colorado Springs the next day:

Morning television news:

Early yesterday morning a small home in the older section of city exploded, fire crews took over an hour to get the blaze under control as it spread to neighboring houses within minutes before fire crews could arrive on the scene. Investigator's early reports released just minutes ago state the cause as an unknown explosive device that caused the fires and destruction of five neighboring homes. People living in the area have stated that the explosion rocked the neighborhood with such force that it shattered windows and even knocked a couple out of bed. Inside the house after the fires had been put out, firemen discovered human remains badly burnt and unrecognizable. The remains are undergoing autopsy as to the cause of death and possible identification. Switching the TV off, the chief of operations looks up at Drake standing in front of his desk.

"Well, what is it?" The chief asked.

"Report from Stevens in Spokane, Sir." Drake said handing the file to the chief.

Reading the report the chief's face becomes a mask of rage.

"Get that idiot over at J.A.S.F. on the horn! How dare them interfere in a Hypnos operation, when I get through with him he'll be lucky to be watching water drip into a cup from a leaky faucet." The chief said his face a mask of rage.

Drake caught unawares by the chiefs outburst stands there with his mouth open for a second before calmly reaching for the phone and dialing the number to the J.A.S.F. office in Spokane, then hands the phone to the chief then turns and starts to walk out of the office as the alarm goes off.

Bio-emergence detected! Repeat Bio-emergence detected!

Drake runs to his command console and picks up the holo-display glasses putting them on and starts going over the scans, while the computer voice continues its alert cry. From the other side of the command room a woman's voice starts counting off numbers.

"I have five, no make that ten emergence events eastern Washington state, Oh shit! There all champion level or mega level, mixed types and power levels from what I can tell." Drake shouted over the alarm.

The chief comes running out of his office into the control room, pauses a moment to read the various monitor screens then starts shouting orders.

"Security check them firewalls and gateways! Drake, get containment squads one to five mobilized and in route to the area asap! And Drake get on the phone to Stevens in Spokane, he is to wait there and join up with squad five when they get there." The chief shouted as he came downstairs.

From the security officer, "Firewalls and gateway security have not been breached; checking the logs now, wait one."

From the coms officer to the rear of the control room, "Sir, the head of J.A.S.F. is on the vid-phone with madam president wanting to know what's going on, what should I tell them? Sir."

"Tell them to give us a few minutes to figure that out, when we know, they'll know." The chief said watching the screens.

From the security officer, "Sir, logs show ten authorized firewall codes were used for the bio-emergence, the only problem is the codes are for some program group I don't have access to, its marked classified."

"Coms send the call to my office, I'll take it there. Security send the log file to my computer and someone shut off that damn alarm, said the chief retreating to his office."

The chief sits down at his desk and pulls up the log file of the access codes used, cross checks them with all the codes ever given and to whom, first turning on the mp3 recorder before turning on the vid-phone.

"Madam President, Blake, St. John here." The chief said.

"Please tell me we're not having another major emergence event like the one years ago?" An older woman's voice asked from the speaker.

"No madam president it's nothing like that, its worse." The chief replied.

"What do you mean its worse? Blake asked.

"Well see it is like this, I'm chief of operations here at the command center for the north American area. And it's my job to keep the gateways and firewalls secure. But I can't do that when the key's to those gateways and firewalls are passed out by J.A.S.F. personal like candy to kids! The breach we have today is because J.A.S.F. personal dropped the ball and didn't delete pass codes to the firewalls for team members under J.A.S.F. control that are dead according to the file I have on my computer screen in front of me." The chief replied in a mater of fact tone that betrayed his anger at the current situation.

Seconds pass before anyone says a word, the president is the first to speak.

"What do you mean they're issued by J.A.S.F., is this one of them black ops that I should have been informed about, Blake I think you need to explain this to me, and now!" She said angrily.

"Madam President, the operation was simple and straight forward; the team we sent to the digital world ten years ago was trained to handle any threat to either world. The last of the team was reportedly killed in the digital world some four months ago. And how someone got that teams access codes to the firewalls and gateways is beyond me, those codes I know for a fact were purged from the system as the members died." Blake replied.

Watching Blake fidget as he speaks the chief realizes what Blake said; the chief use's this moment to chime in and drive another nail into Blake's early retirement or imprisonment.

"Yesterday at 6 am pacific time we had a standard Bio-emergence in eastern Washington state, as per s.o.p. A team member was sent to check it out and ascertain the threat level of the digimon. And guess what my agent find's when he gets there, a fully armored J.A.S.F. team at the house of one Daryl Thackry, Hypnos agent reported missing four months ago when he failed to check in at a scheduled time. The J.A.S.F. team on site turned my agent away with a real lame excuse (holding up the report folder for all to see) as to why he couldn't make contact. I want to know why J.A.S.F. is operating outside of their sphere of jurisdiction and interfering in Hypnos jurisdiction. Also I would like to know why that house was destroyed late yesterday by the same units under J.A.S.F control?" The chief asked, his anger even more unchecked.

"That's a very good question, one I'd like to hear the answer to willingly or under arrest makes no matter to me." The president replied.

The video feed from Blake goes black as the line is closed.

"Madam President, we have a big problem, I recommend that Blake be arrested quickly as possible and any loyal to him." Chief St John said.

"St. John lockdown all gateways and firewall access to the digital world from this one, no one in or out. And I'll order the arrest of Blake." The president said before she cut the connection.

Rushing out of his office St. John starts shouting orders to his staff for the second time today, but this time over the complex wide pa system.

"All personal as of now the order is LOCKDOWN on all systems nothing in or out per orders of the president herself. Security, scramble all gateway and firewall codes and then scramble them again. Tracking, bring all systems to full power and keep a lock on them ten that got through earlier. BTW; Blake former head of the J.A.S.F. Is now wanted on charges by order of the president. As to the charges against him, I think treason fits the bill, all else is just speculation for now. Look alive people, move like you got a purpose!" St. John shouted over the p.a. system.

Across the United States access points for com links to the digital world go dead in seconds as the firewalls and gateways are closed, causing at first dismay then concern when the reason for the lockdown is posted on screens nationwide.

The same morning in a small cabin:

Kithira is up early, so early that the sun has yet to rise above the horizon. Standing in front of the cabin, she works out stretching her muscles, unaware that Devon is standing just inside the door watching her.

Devon thinking: "Look at her move, so graceful yet so deadly if one of those blows hits its mark. Hard to believe that two days ago I was just a normal teen going to school, and like the rest of my friends looking for a job come summer in a few months. Now if I'm - scratch that, now if we're lucky, maybe one of them jobs that hire digimon partner teams will hire us... Heck why am I trying to fool myself, the best thing is we're together, no matter what. I just don't understand why mom was in such a rush to get me and Kithira away from the house yesterday. And this going to the old family cabin in, "Nowhere, Idaho" where it's either cloudy and raining year around or just plain cold. Well I had better get dressed and get my pack ready, I have a feeling that it's going to be a long day."

Outside Kithira does a spinning kick and catches sight of Devon turning away from the door in the pre-dawn light.

Kithira thinking: "He was watching over me while I'm practicing, that's sweet. I still can't piece this puzzle about him together yet. I have a D-arc and a deck of modify cards made just for him, a folder with a dvd in it and a picture showing a renomon in the background. And to top it off his mother acted like she had something to hide from Devon when she rushed us out here. What about his canines longer and much sharper than a humans and that weird glow around him last night; and the D-arc scan of him that's even more puzzling." Suddenly Kithira has an epiphany from her line of thinking that stops her in her tracks and almost makes her lose her balance. Eighteen plus years ago Devon's mother was a tamer. What happened to her digimon? I can only assume that her digimon was the renomon in the picture. Then what if, that renomon is Devon's real father, and not the human male in the picture with his arm around his mother's shoulders. That would explain why the D-arc's holo-display showed the diamond storm attack, Devon being a human-digimon hybrid, his canines; the glow coming from him and then his obvious strong sense of smell. I wonder how he would react to finding out that he's a human-digimon hybrid. Now if that dvd shows what I think it does, Devon, my mate, are you in for a real shock, but are you even going to accept it. I'm not sure I can accept it yet and I'm his trainer. Well my state of mind has improved with this deep revelation, not sure about what I think of it yet though."

Devon comes out of the cabin.

"Good morning Beautiful, are you ready to go?" He asked shouldering the backpack. Kithira smiles at Devon as he walks up to her.

"What no breakfast in bed with you as the main course?" Kithira teased playfully as she wraps her arms around his waist and kisses him.

"We have a lot of traveling to do today, but first we might want to find something for breakfast first. Devon replied as his stomach growled rather loudly."

"That's not going to be a problem, I smell a lot of game close by." Kithira replied.

"Well heck I think your sense of smell is a lot better than mine, because all I smell right now is you; did you take a bath somewhere before I got up your fur smells wonderful?" Devon asked.

"The one thing every digimon knows is that us renamon tend to keep ourselves clean, even renomon during battle somehow manage to stay clean. And to answer your question; a little tongue action always goes a long way." Kithira replied.

"Oh, I missed you licking yourself silly? Damn!" Devon said.

Kithira laughs at Devon's sad expression.

"No silly I was washing myself only, not pleasuring myself, I reserved that right for you mate." Kithira said flirting.

"Good because it would have hurt my feelings if you had, lets find something to eat shall we?" Devon asked.

"How about I teach you something as we search?" Kithira asked.

"Sure, why not, who knows it might come in handy later." Devon replied.

"You don't even want to know what I am going to teach you before we start?" Kithira asked.

"Nope, I figure that if you think it will help me, then it must be something I need to learn; besides the old human saying is (never hit a gift horse in the mouth) seems to apply here, teach away." Devon replied with a wave of his hand.

Kithira nods and steps away, "now close your eyes and tell me what you smell." Kithira said.

"A lot of things, cherry blossoms, pine trees, a few flowers I recognize, honey, a lot that I don't know at all, and then there's you of course." Devon replied.

"Good, now I want you to single out one of them smells and tell me what it is." Kithira said as she moved down wind of him so her scent wouldn't interfere.

"I smell, what's that smell, it's like the smell my computer made when it burned up the other morning, ozone that's it, but how can that be out here in the woods?" Devon asked and opened his eyes and started looking around. Looking up Devon sees the digital field as it forms above them and very quickly drops down to the ground.

"Kithira what the hell is going on?" He asked shouting over the rushing wind while moving toward her.

Kithira looks around the digital field for her foe, unable to catch a whiff of scent because of the wind and has to rely on sight. Kithira moves toward Devon.

"It's a digital field, there's a digimon coming here from the digital world." Kithira replied, the worry in her voice making her voice almost a growl.

"I hope it's friendly, but with our luck we'll have to fight." Devon said as he puts a hand on his D-arc and pulls the deck of cards from his pocket. Kithira looks from side to side trying to spot the digimon she knows is out there; in the distance she sees a light appear in the fog of the field.

"Oh no it's a greymon!" Kithira thinks to herself a second before she is moving.

Taking action she shoves Devon away from her as she dives the other way just as the greymon fires at the spot they were just standing. The nova blast impacts the ground sending them flying farther apart, Kithira does a tuck and roll; and comes up standing and changing direction. Devon lands hard and feels the deck of cards slip from his fingers as he rolls to a stop against a tree; looking up he sees the greymon emerge from the fog of the digital field not forty feet away.

"Not again!" He thinks as the greymon is struck by Kithira's diamond storm attack.

The greymon shrugs the attack off like a brick wall would being hit by a nat. The greymon roars at Kithira.

"Hey runt this time I'll finish the job and you won't escape like you did last time!"

Meanwhile Devon looks around the ground for the deck of cards he dropped, "damn it where's that deck! Kithira needs my help and I need that deck"; Devon thinking. Just as he finds it he hears Kithira scream; looking up he sees Kithira flying out of control into the top of a pine tree and fall through the limbs to the forest floor and doesn't move. Pulling the deck out of the box Devon franticly looks for something that will get Kithira back into the fight; almost half way through the deck, he finds one that looks promising. Holding the card in his teeth he puts the rest of the cards in his pocket and grabs the D-arc off his belt loop. Looking over toward Kit, the greymon has closed the distance to her and is now sizing her up for the kill. Swiping the card through the reader he reads the screen; "Back to battle activate!" Looking over at Kithira he sees her start to glow as the power of the card works on her; the greymon is almost to her.

Without thinking, he shouts at the greymon; "Hey big ugly over here, come and get me if you can you slow piece of shit!"

Looking over at him the greymon replies; "Deal with you in a digi-second human! But first a little snack, roasted renamon on pine cones!" says the greymon almost laughing.

Devon watches in horror as the greymon starts to charge up another nova blast, with Kithira starting to move but slowly; "I've got to do something, she needs time to get on her feet" thinks Devon. Looking around on the ground Devon finds a good-sized stone, picking it up he does the only thing he can; draws back his arm and throws it at the greymon.

The human attacking him takes the greymon off guard; the stone hits him in the eye causing him to rear his head back in pain as he fires his attack. The nova blast goes skyward hitting nothing but air.

Roaring in pain and anger, the greymon turns his attention to Devon; "On second thought you're the snack and the renamon's the main course!" the greymon says as it turns to come after Devon.

Devon seeing the danger he's, in turns and runs for the cabin door. Kithira raises her head in time to see Devon diving thru the cabin door with the greymon following; as she tries to get to her feet the greymon launches a nova blast into the cabin door behind Devon. Rage and anger course through her as the thought of losing another mate overwhelms her; and shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Devon!" The cabin explodes from the nova blast; and over the sound of the blast Devon's scream of agony is heard. Kithira at that second feels heat from inside her gauntlet where Devon's D-arc is concealed with the deck of modify cards; Kithira pulls out the D-arc and looks at it. On the holo-display the word Digivolution is shown just before a blinding white light is emitted from the D-arc aimed straight at the cabin. Inside the cabin Devon is engulfed by the nova blast and is thrown into the back wall the d-arc flies from his hand as he hits the wall; he hears his bones break and then feels the pain that encompasses his world. Barely able to open his eyes through the pain he looks up as a beam of bright light envelops him and the power of Kithira's raw emotions flood into him. The agonizing pain recedes to nothing as his bones and other injuries are healed; his body changes growing taller and more bulky as muscles take on mass. His senses of hearing and smell and vision grow stronger as his body reforms. As the light fades Devon rises to his knees and then stands, the remains of his clothes and backpack drop off of him; the destroyed cabin scattered around him.

Devon thinking: "The cabin is destroyed, but what has happened to me? My body has been healed, my senses and body is stronger than before. Wait a second is that my nose? "The shadow of the greymon interrupts his thoughts." Looking up, Devon's thoughts change. "Time enough to check myself out later. Right now I have to take care of big ugly."

Outside the remains of the cabin, the greymon is surprised to see the beam of light fly past him and strike the human he was chasing. The greymon's surprise turns to one of shock as he witnesses the Digivolution process start.

"A human, digivolving? Impossible! Humans can't digivolve!" shouted the greymon.

As the greymon watches on the light fades and a crouched form is barely visible in the remains of the destroyed building. As Kithira watches from her position, she sees the vague outline of someone stand up and start walking toward the greymon. As the wind blows away the smoke from the fires started by the greymon's nova blast, Kithira and the greymon are shocked as the person walking becomes visible, a silver renomon.

Stopping in front of the greymon Devon looks up at him.

"A snack am I; let's see who's the snack, big ugly!" Devon replied in a menacing tone.

Pulling out the deck of modify cards she looks through them for anything that might be useful in this situation; finding two that might work she returns the others to the box and keeps the other two ready.

The greymon laughs looking down at Devon.

"Hah, a human that can digivolve that's rich; go away human and let a real mon show you how it's done!" The greymon said.

Kithira looks at the silver renomon, even at this distance he is an impressive sight. Kithira thinking to herself as she looks Devon over: "He is taller than me by a good foot at least, that would make him at least seven feet tall. He's well-proportioned in the muscle department not too much here or too little there. And look at that ruff running all the way down his front from neck to legs (she shudders when her eyes reach his crotch), and that long tail." As she watches, Devon is swaying from side to side and then without warning charges the greymon head on.

Kithira swipes the first of the two cards, "digi-modify, diamond claws activate; digi-modify, hyper-speed activate!" She shouts hoping it helps; putting the D-arc into her gauntlet, she rushes into battle to help Devon.

Devon, watches as the greymon starts to glow with power; "where's he getting the power to digivolve; better attack while I can, Devon thinking".

Running straight at the greymon he feels power flood into him and change him in the process. His fingers tingle as his claws take on a new sheen, his leg muscles propel him forward faster than he could have believed possible. The edges of his vision take on a blur effect as his speed increases exponentially beyond normal running speeds for him. As Kithira rushes toward the greymon's back, she sees a streak silver run between the greymon's legs; blood and gore flow from claw rakes that appear like magic across the greymon's exposed belly in Devon's wake.

As Devon begins to turn around for another attack; Kithira leaps into the air and attacks "Diamond Storm!" Kithira shouts.

The greymon roars in pain and anger as both attacks have caught him off guard. Turning quickly the greymon lashes out with a nova blast at Kithira as she drops toward a tree, barely missing her by a foot but turning another tree to splinters.

The greymon shouts "Damn runt stay still so I can kill you!" and then fires off another nova blast missing her again.

"Learn to aim better and you might hit something for a change instead of defenseless trees!" Kithira shouts back at the greymon as she leaps in a different direction.

As Devon completes his turn he watches as Kithira leaps from tree to tree dodging the greymon's attacks, angering the greymon even more.

"Well here goes, all or nothing." Running toward the greymon Devon leaps into the air.

For Devon, time seems to slow down as he watches the greymon from above; as he reaches the peak of his leap, Devon feels power grow within him and he throws out his arms and legs allowing instinct to take over as he launches his attack, "Diamond Storm!"

Hundreds of silver diamonds are thrown simultaneously towards the greymon with the fierceness of a storm. The greymon starts to turn at the sound of Devon's voice and roars in pain as the attack catches him on the back and side; and quickly fires off a nova blast at Devon.

Devon watches as the nova blast rockets toward him, on instinct his body curls into a ball and Devon shout's "Diamond Sphere!"

From her vantage point Kithira watches as a silver ball with the glittering brightness of diamonds in the sunlight forms around Devon and is shocked when the nova blast hits and fades to nothing leaving the sphere glowing bright with power as it lands and rolls to a stop. The greymon is equally shocked to see the silver renomon survive his attack and in his frustration fires off another nova blast with the same result. Meanwhile Kithira pulls out the D-arc and modify cards does a scan on Devon. The holo-display scan reads different from the first time she used it.

Devon's vitals:

Name: Devon Thackry

Health: 150%

Power: 150%

Lvl: Champion

Type: Silver Renomon Hybrid

Attacks: Diamond storm, Quick silver, Rapid kick

Defense: Diamond sphere

Kithira raises an eyebrow as she reads the stats.

Tabbing down to the attacks field she highlights 'Quick silver' and reads the description.

"Quick silver; enhanced melee attack".

Then tabbing down to the defense field she highlights it and reads the description.

"Diamond sphere; powerful spherical shield of silver diamonds that encompasses the digimon; provides protection against all physical attacks and absorbs all energy attacks for the purpose recharging the power & restoring health of the digimon within."

"Whoa! I've got to learn that! I didn't even know that Diamond Sphere existed!" Spoke Kit rather pleased and a bit excited by the prospects of learning a new defense.

As she watches, the display changes on the health and power levels the readings increasing slowly with each of the greymon's attacks.

Thinking to herself: "If the greymon keeps attacking with his nova blast, Devon won't have to attack at all the greymon will revert to his rookie level, now if we could just get that lucky".

Inside the diamond sphere, Devon begins to wonder how long the greymon is going to keep attacking like this.

"How long can he keep this up? It is starting to get hot in here, and I don't do Devon flambé!" thought Devon.

Curled up as he was, Devon couldn't help but notice the changes his body had gone through.

"Hold on a second, is that my feet and hands? Wait, I'm covered in silver fur, and what the hell is that tickling my nose? Oh Fuck! That's my cock! Damn, I'm hung, Kithira's in for a surprise (a smile forms on his lips), But what the hell is going on here? I'm a digimon!? Holy shit! Ok, I think mom has some explaining to do, after I get out of this anyway. After his next attack I'm outta here, it's time to play dirty."

Outside Kithira is thinking while looking through the deck of cards again for something useful, and not finding one that can be used at the moment she puts the deck and D-arc up.

"C'mon Devon, he's not going to keep attacking with nova blast all day; sooner or later he's going to realize that it's not working."

Moving with the speed that all renamon possess Kithira weaves in and out of the trees her objective in her sights, she launches herself at the greymon's unguarded back. When she lands on him she starts claw raking his back with all her claws doing as much damage as she can; blood and gore go flying as the greymon roars and spins in an attempt to dislodge her. Inside the sphere Devon hears the muffled roar from the greymon and takes it as his chance to go on the offensive. Pushing out with all his strength against the sides of the sphere Devon hears it and sees it shatter around him. Regaining his feet in a flash, Devon takes a split second to size up the situation in front of him, then moves into action. He charges forward ten feet and then leaps into the air landing on the top of a tree; using a treetop as a jump point, he launches himself even higher into the air above the greymon.

"Jump for it Kit!" He shouts as he soars upward.

Kithira looks up in time to see him almost at the top of his arch and leaps up and off the greymon. As if thinking the same thing they draw their arms and legs in, then unleash their strongest attack they have in unison.

"Diamond Storm", they shout together throwing their arms and legs wide releasing a wave of charged diamonds straight at the greymon.

"Firewall" the greymon shouts, his only defense against their attack.

The greymon watches in horror as the two attacks shatter his firewall and keep coming, he roars in pain as he falls, and then his data appears as a cloud of energy. As the two drop to the ground the greymon's data is absorbed by each of them, their bodies glowing as the data adds to their power and heals them.

As Devon stands, Kithira runs up and wraps her arms around Devon's neck. Devon looks down at her and gives her a gentle kiss on the tip of her muzzle, his arms holding her close.

"What the hell is going on here?" Devon asked looking at Kit perplexed.

"He was after me, that much was plain as day. The same one from the village yesterday morning; but how did he get here from the digital world?" Kithira asked.

"That was plain to me also; but not the answer to my question. Look at me Kit, I'm a renamon!" Exclaimed Devon.

Kithira chuckles as she releases Devon's neck and pulls away.

"What's so funny?" Devon asked.

Kithira looks at Devon with an amused look on her face and stammers out between chuckles.

"Devon, my mate, you're not a renamon, you're a renomon. Renamon are all female; Renomon are male."

"Renomon huh, never heard of them before. But that doesn't explain how come I'm one." Devon replied.

"I have an idea about how come you're a renomon, but first let's get far away from here; Hypnos has more than likely picked up the bio-emergence and sent a team to check it out." Kithira said as she watched the forest around them for signs of the human partner of the greymon.

"That's a real good idea, but first I need to retrieve something from the cabin." Devon said walking over to the remains of the cabin.

Walking into what is left of the cabin; Devon spies his backpack and the remains of his clothes. Picking them up he finds the shirt and pants are a complete write off, his wallet and the deck of cards and key chain somewhat damaged by the nova blast but ok. The backpack fared a little better than his clothes did from the blast and still could be used; Devon puts his wallet, keys and the deck of modify cards in it. Then shoulders the backpack and starts looking around for the d-arc but doesn't see it anywhere.

"Kit, I can't find the d-arc, it flew from my hand when the nova blast hit the cabin; help me find it." Devon asked in a worried tone in his voice as he continues searching.

"Which hand did you have it in when the blast hit?" Kit asked walking closer to him.

"My left hand, which means it, should be over in this direction." Devon said waving his arm in the general direction for emphasis

Kit nods and starts tiptoeing around the small fires and other debris looking for the d-arc. After some minutes searching through the remains of the cabin, Kit comes up with the missing d-arc in her hand.

"Here it is! Under what is left of the bed." Kit said as she tosses what's left of the bed out of the way.

Devon sighs in relief at her finding the d-arc and walks over to her.

"Damn, glad you found it; I was starting to think it got destroyed when the nova blast hit me." Devon said.

When Kit turns around to hand the d-arc to Devon, she has to stifle a giggle because he unlike most renomon has some soot in his fur and has failed to notice it yet. Taking another look around at the remains of the cabin and seeing nothing useful to justify taking with them.

"Shall we get going before those Hypnos boys and girls show up, eh beautiful?" Devon asked.

"Good idea, now let's see if you can keep up with me." She replied sticking her long tongue out before punching him on the arm and shouting, "Tag your it!" And bounds off in the direction of the family cabin and hollering "Slow poke!"

Leaving Devon standing there rubbing his arm and looking up in time to see her duck behind some trees. Shoving the d-arc into the side pocket of the backpack, he takes off after Kit.

"Bitch! Get back here." He says laughing chasing after her.

Chapter 5

Last night in Spokane at one of the cities many motels:

"Welcome to the nightly news from channel 4." The station announcer said his voice a deep base.

"Today a west valley home is the topic of a serious investigation by the J.A.S.F. and other law enforcement agencies. The home was destroyed by what J.A.S.F. officials said was a homemade bomb of undetermined type. Officials are looking for Lisa Thackry the owner of the home along with her 17-year-old son for questioning. Citizens are urged to report any sightings of Mrs. Thackry or her son to the local J.A.S.F. office. In other news-"

Disgusted Lisa turns off the TV and looks over at Deb and Dax sitting at the table.

"I can't believe the bullshit lies they are spreading about me and my family! Of all the fucking nerve! They destroyed my house and say that Devon or I made a homemade bomb to cover it up. That's bullshit plain and simple! I'm just glad that I was able to get Devon and Kithira out of town before this shit kicked off." Raged Lisa, as she sat down at the table.

"This is just the type of crap I would expect some desk jockey in J.A.S.F. to come up with. The good news is that Deb was able to get to you first and not them, now here's the bad news; all your bank accounts and credit cards have been seized and a warrant for your arrest sent to all law enforcement agencies." Dax said as he closed the laptop on the table.

"Or as those of us at the old Hypnos used to call them Just-Another-Stupid-Fuck, long before they got the power they have now, heck, most of the J.A.S.F. are Hypnos rejects that couldn't make it against digimon with its hands or paws tied behind it's back. Much less fight their way out of a wet paper bag with a blade in their hand. Now all they have is bigger guns and even worse attitudes, no ethics, making them a serious threat to anyone that gets in their way." Deb said bitterly.

"Yeah I know what you mean Deb, but now the question is what can we do to help Lisa? She's now on the run just like we are from those jerks.-"Dax stops mid-sentence as he realizes what Lisa had said.

"Lisa did I hear you correctly? Did you say Kithira and Devon not Daryl?" Dax asked worried.

"Yes, Kithira is Devon's digimon partner. Why, what's wrong Dax? You seem concerned. You know something about Daryl?" Lisa replied now confused and concerned.

Dax shook his head in denial but could not hold back the tears of mourning. "No it can't be! That's not true! It can't be true! - it-it can't be." Dax said in denial as his tears flowed freely.

"What's wrong with you? Yes it's true! Not that you have a say in whether or not Devon becomes Kithira partner, I'm proud my son got this chance." Lisa said and then the look on his face made her stop speaking.

"Mrs. Thackry please calm down. I am happy for your youngest son, but I hate being the bearer of bad news but Kithira was Daryl's digimon partner. And you know as well as I do being a trainer yourself, yes I saw you pull out that relic of a digivice, that for a digimon to get a new partner the old one has to have died. I'm sorry for your loss, but if Devon is Kithira partner now Daryl is dead." Deb told her regretfully.

Lisa sat there in stunned silence as she tried to absorb this new information. Five minutes later her face was a mask of outrage.

"Why didn't she tell me! She failed to protect Daryl and now she is out there alone with my now only child! How can I trust her!" Lisa seethed with contempt.

"Kithira probably didn't know how to tell you, and you can trust her. I don't know what happened in the digital world, but I know Kithira. She loved Daryl with everything she had. So much so that as far as I know, they married and became life mates. So, having Devon as her partner is like a second chance for her! She would rather die than allow a single hair on his head to be harmed in any way! They are good for each other right now. They can comfort each other's pain. You have lost a son, but I shouldn't have to remind you that Devon has lost a brother and Kithira has lost a mate! We have lost a good friend, one we'd give our lives for. You judge her too harshly and condemn her before you even truly get a chance to truly know your eldest mate. Much less, to find out what happened in the digital world to Daryl?" Deb said harshly as she got up from the table and, sat on one of the two beds in the room.

Lisa took a deep breath and mentally counted to ten then twenty. When she finally calmed down, she realized that Deb was right after she thought about it. Lisa sighed woefully.

"I apologize, your right Deb, I'm not the only one that has experienced the pain of loss with Daryl's death. I let my anger get the better of me." Lisa apologized the sincerity almost painfully clear in her voice.

"It's alright, Lisa we understand. Anger and lashing out is your way of grieving. But with all due respect, it's not very constructive. I'm itching for revenge, as I have no doubt it was Hypnos that killed him. He never did trust Hypnos to begin with after he began noticing some things that were kind of off. He never did tell us what, but he was sure of that fact after the team we were on the members started dying left and right especially in the last four months. That's when Deb and I went to ground. Helping where and when we can. But right now if we want answers we are going to have to talk to Kithira, but I doubt very seriously we will be able to find them unless Kithira wants us too." Dax replied.

"I know where they are going, it's just a matter of whether I trust you that far & getting out of town without getting stopped by the authorities." Lisa admitted begrudgingly.

"Well I guess if we are going to trust & help each other in the coming battle there first must be an understanding between us. Right now while we sit here, our digimon partners are in the digital world looking for Daryl and Kithira, but now with what you just told us that search is fruitless. Time is of the essence if we are going to save not only Devon and Kithira but our partners we can use your help, if not I'm out of here before dawn. Chime in anytime Deb." Replied Dax truthfully.

"Lisa, you had a partner digimon long before Dax and I were out of diapers, understand there has been many times that we or any of the team thought that we were going to lose our partners in battle, with your help we can hopefully avoid that possibility again. The net is in lockdown mode right now, which means we cannot even talk to our partners in the digital world. Let alone get them here to help us if needed. The information Kithira has just might be what we need to go after the bastards that destroyed your house and killed the rest of the team; and quite possibly even the ones that killed Daryl. I don't know about you, but I do want some revenge for what they have done." Deb said bitterly.

Lisa sits in the chair halfway listening to what they are saying, her hand in the satchel holding her digivice, sorrow, rage, scorn, fear, distrust, uncertainty, every emotion she has felt that day flow through her and into the digivice with her thoughts of Cole her digimon partner. 'Damn I wish you were here, we need you Cole' she thinks to herself, as she pulls the digivice out of the satchel and looks at it remembering when it had first appeared in front of her at her parents' home one winter day. On the screen words appear "I come" just as the digivice starts beeping and a bright light discharges from the screen. Across the room, Deb dives behind the bed she was sitting on and Dax dives for the other bed, scrambling behind it.

As the light fades away a tall figure stands before Lisa, its head only inches away from the ceiling.

"Oh, shit it's a Taomon, How the hell did it get here?" Deb asked looking out from behind her bed.

A deep baritone voice, "Lisa, you called I'm here. Are you alright? It's been a long time since you called me, too long. I was beginning to think you didn't want me anymore mate. I've missed you beyond what mere words can express."

"Cole, is that you? I tried to come to the digital world more times than I can count, but Hypnos would not let me go, claiming it was too dangerous for humans." Lisa explained with tears of joy on her cheeks.

"And they were right many areas of the digital world are lifeless deserts from the battles that have occurred over the digital-years. Humans are not safe in the digital world as they once were; great armies of digimon have ruined the world for greed, power or racism. Or all three, it seems they don't need a reason anymore to destroy what's left of the digital-world." Cole said sorrow tinting his words.

Jumping up Lisa wraps her arms around Cole and burying her face in his robed stomach. Cole's wraps his robe covered hands around Lisa's body holding her close. As if on cue, Cole's body shrinks down to the form of a silver renomon. Looking down at Lisa, Cole leans down and plants a loving and passionate kiss on her lips. Lisa is swept away by the memories of years long past as she returns his kiss with equal passion. Both of their hands start to drift towards each other's private parts before Deb's interruption brings them back to the present.

"Uhh... Do we need to leave the room and give you two a little privacy? But you do realize we don't have time for that, don't you? Dax and I do understand that's it's been awhile since you have seen one another, but considering the current events in both worlds we need to get going like yesterday. Besides I doubt seriously, you two want an audience. Though I wouldn't mind a free sex show." Deb said with a slight smile playing on her face.

"We have got bigger problems to deal with right now, get the gear down to the car and get the hell out of here; that bio-emergence was probably picked up by everyone this side of Tokyo Japan!" Dax said, emphasizing his words by shoving his laptop into its carrying bag before unplugging it from the wall, and then starts shoving other items into various pockets.

Deb's smile fades as Dax's words sink in.

"Oh, shit! Lisa grab your stuff and that bag by the door and take it to the car, we got to go in a hurry." Deb said as she picked up a tote bag by her bed.

Grabbing her satchel off the table Lisa turns toward the door to find Cole holding the other bag. Dax shoulders the laptop bag, picks up another but larger tote bag than the first, and heads for the door. As they leave the room, Deb presses a button on the cars remote unlocking the car doors and opening the trunk. Then she presses another button and the car's motor starts. As they head for the car, Dax and Deb both turn their heads constantly watching for any sign of the J.A.S.F. team showing up. Dax reaches the trunk first and pushes the lid up and tosses his bags in, then holds his hands out to Deb for the ones she is carrying and does the same for Lisa and Cole.

"Lisa, and Cole in the back seat, Dax you take shotgun." Deb said as she opens the driver's door and climbs in not giving anyone the chance to argue.

After everyone is in the car Deb wastes little time getting them out of the hotel parking lot and on the street. Dax half turns around to look at Lisa.

"Where do we need to go to find Kithira?" He asked her.

"Head out of town on Trent avenue east and keep going until we reach Hauser, Idaho. From there I'll tell you where we need to go." Lisa said, her hand in Coles.

"Good now we're getting somewhere, besides running around in circles." Deb said as she turned a corner heading them in the direction of Trent Avenue.

They drive in silence for a few minutes before Dax breaks the ice.

"I'm Dax and that's Deb, Cole nice to meet you, just wish the circumstances was different. Never thought for a minute that I would see a Silver Renomon in the real world. I thought you all stayed at that school of thought (never could pronounce the name right so I stopped trying) in the High western mountain range." Dax said half way turned around in his seat looking at Cole.

"Normally we do, but sometimes one or more of us leave on a walk-about. Such is only one of my reasons for being here and now, besides the main fact that my mate called me." Cole replied looking at Lisa for a reaction.

"Deb and I were at the school once, right after the net crashed nine years ago, we helped repair the transit node in the region. Nice school but a little to advanced for me." Dax said pointing to his head for emphasis.

"Cole, you never told me about this school, why?" Lisa asked.

"Because mate I didn't go there until after I had returned to the digital world. Not that it mattered much; I left shortly after I arrived there. Ever since then I have traveled the digital world looking for a place to call home." Cole said.

"Why didn't you come back here then, I missed you, we all missed you especially Devon." Lisa said.

"I couldn't come back until you called me, Hypnos made sure of that when I returned to the digital world, no matter what I tried I could not get through the firewalls or gateways on my own." Cole replied.

"Same story Deb and I have heard from too many digimon to count, Hypnos started locking out a lot of digimon from ever being able to return to their human partners after they went back to the digital world almost ten years ago. Partly to do with the anti-human sentiment that was on the rise then in the digital world, it's sad that after all these years of co-existence between digimon and humans some feel the need to control what they can't control at all." Dax said.

"I remember when all that started, it was what prompted me to leave the school, that movement ran through the school faster than a jetmon with hyper-speed activated. So when can I see my step sons?" Cole asked out of the blue.

Not a word is said inside the car for almost a minute before Lisa speaks.

"Cole, we think that Daryl may have been killed in the digital world in the last couple of days, we're heading to where Devon is supposed to be with his partner to find out for sure." Lisa said as she held back from wailing out her sorrow, with tears in her eyes she collapses into Cole's arms.

Cole wraps his arms around Lisa trying to comfort her. But looks at Dax in the front seat with a stern stare.

"Do you know who was the one that killed my son, step son?" Cole asked anger coloring his tone.

"Thanks for confirming a thought I had back at Lisa's house when I found the picture of the whole family at that cabin. Hey I don't care one way or another, what you all do in the bedroom, I think it's cool, but then again I'm biased. Can't wait to get hold of my partner it's been too long since we last mated." Deb said looking back at the pair in the rear view mirror.

"Deb, I knew you were a horny bitch at times, but damn! With Achilles, your Leomon?" Commented Dax playfully.

"Like there's any difference between Achilles and I or you and Rayne your Ophanimon, we all need companionship at one time or another; besides Achilles asked me to tie the knot when he gets back from the digital world." Deb retorted.

Cole looks down at Lisa.

"Well my love, it looks like our secret is out at last. That's one less dishonorable thing I have to live with. Now only one more remains and that's to tell Devon the truth about us mate." Cole whispered to Lisa quietly.

Time passes on the road east.

"Are you two brother and sister? Because you two sure act like it. You've been at it for two hours." Chided Lisa from the back seat but still laughing.

"Hell no! We aren't even related! Besides if we were, it would have been illegal as all get out, we once upon a time were dating before we got our partners." Deb replied.

"Hell Deb, you're the kinkiest woman I know, leather whips and chains, oh and lets not forget the occasional Shepard or rottie in the mix. At least you're not into water sports or scat. That's just gross." Dax teased.

"Fuck you Dexter! After all we have been through together; I thought you would at least keep that part of my teenage years a secret! Last time I tell you anything about my years before I joined Hypnos." Deb said rather angrily to Dax.

"Sure had me fooled, the way you two were going at each other's throats, if I didn't know by your words; I would think that you two had already been married and divorced." Lisa chimed in.

Cole leans forward and takes a big sniff of both Dax and Deb, then leans back into the seat laughing loudly.

"What's so funny back there?" Dax asks looking back at Cole.

"Oh, just that you two are related not by your mothers but your father is one and the same; oh one more thing Deb you're pregnant. Congratulations. " Cole stated in a jovial tone.

Deb pulls the car over to the side of the road, breaks locked up and sliding to a stop. They both turn and look back at Cole and then each other and responded at the same time.

"Eww!!" They both said at the same time.

"We need to talk to our mother's together about that and find out if it's true." Dax replied.

"Wait, Cole you said that I'm pregnant? Oh, shit." Is all she gets out as the words soak in and her eyes roll up into her head as she faints. Dax quickly reaches over and puts the car into park before it starts rolling.

"That was a real good one, if it had been anyone else to tell her that she wouldn't have believed them for a second. Lisa give me a hand moving her over to the passenger seat and I'll drive while she's out. Real good joke, Cole, wish I could have pulled that one on her." Dax said as he opened the door chuckling.

"It's no joke; she is pregnant by about three months. I can tell by her scent." Cole affirmed seriously.

As Lisa opened the car door and climbed out of the back seat to help Dax move Deb.

"It's true, Dax, Cole knew I was pregnant before I even bought a test to check myself both times. He can tell by scent because of the hormonal changes in the sweat and well other places." Lisa informed him, while helping move Deb into the passenger seat and strapping her in with the seatbelt.

"Well that explains a lot about Rayne and my relationship, every time she's starting to go into her heat cycle I can't keep my hands off of her. Is it the same for you and Cole?" He asked.

Lisa blushes before she answers.

"Every time, back then I enjoyed the extra attention I got from him because of it. And right now I would love to get some time alone with him, but Kithira and Devon come first before my small wants." Lisa replied honestly before climbing into the back seat and closing the door.

Dax, climbs in the car and drops it into drive leaving rubber as he mashes on the peddle and pulls the car back onto the road.

"Turn off at the next major road and go north, the state troopers will have a road block up at the state line, hope you don't mind running the back roads. It will take longer, but we'll be able avoid being stopped by the law." Lisa said giving Dax directions from the back seat.

"Back roads no problem, as long as you don't have me on some forest trail calling it's self a road." Dax chided from the driver's seat.

"So do you love, Rayne? I believe that's what Deb said her name was." Cole asked politely.

"Are you kidding? I would die for her if I had to. I miss her so much now, even after a week I can't stand being away from her." Responded Dax

Cole looks over at Lisa with an understanding look.

"He's a good man, mate we can trust him. I sense the truth in his words." Cole stated boldly.

"That's good we need all the people we can trust with some rogue unit gone kill happy on Daryl's unit. Cole, they've lost most of their unit in the last four months and now besides Dax and Deb and their partners and Kithira, they are the only ones left from a unit of twenty." Lisa said.

"I have heard rumors of a group of digimon going around the digital world killing digimon and humans alike for months now. From what I've heard they are pushing for all humans to return to the real world along with their partners, and if they don't they are overwhelmed by sheer numbers and destroyed. My mate do you think this group could be the ones responsible for our first born's death?" Cole asked curiously.

"Mmm, More than likely they did it, and with help from this side also. They placed tracking devices in each of our D-arc's some months ago. If it hadn't been for Dax finding the trackers in our d-arc's we both be dead by now also." Deb replied groggily from the front seat.

"It seems to be the direction this is heading from what I can tell. The tracker I pulled out of the D-arc Devon had for Kithira was definitely made here in this world, kind of obvious when one of the chips had (made in China) stamped on it. And that means only someone within Hypnos could have put it there." Lisa said as she ran her hand along Cole's leg.

"Not just Hypnos but anyone with the proper security clearance from J.A.S.F. could have done it. The last meeting we had someone there from J.A.S.F. was supposed to be upgrading the security chip in our D-arc's, but installed a tracking device instead. We didn't think about it until the unit started getting killed, but by then it was almost too late for the last of us to escape." Dax responded, a mixture of anger and sorrow tinting his voice.

"Cole knows the way from here and can give you the directions, wake me when we get there love." Lisa said as she snuggled up to Cole wrapping her arms around him, afraid that he would leave again.

"That's good, just tell me when and where to turn." Dax said, his voice falling on deaf ears as the sound of Lisa snoring reaches him.

Chapter 6: The Reunion

After a nice morning run and a successful hunt, Kithira breaks the silence.

"So mate how do you like being a renomon?" She asked out of the blue.

"It's not bad in a way, still going to take some getting used to; just I'm puzzled by why my mother never told me that this could happen. Which makes me question many things she has said or done over the years, were they for my protection or for hers? I just don't know what to believe right now." Devon replied somewhat concerned.

"I'm sure that your mother had her reasons for doing what she did, I recall that mine did the same thing on many occasions to me or my siblings. Mostly to do with the more adult things like mating and even birth of a child as in my case. She was the type that felt I should find out on my own, and it would make me better prepared to handle life." Kithira said as they walked along a game trail.

"I think parents in general do that, last thing most parents want is a child still living at home at forty years old and unemployed. I know that I don't intend to be living at home when I'm forty years old, I hope to be somewhere else, like the digital world. You know I think I'm starting to get the hang of walking with digi-grade legs, as long as I don't think about walking I can walk, but the second I try to control it I wind up falling or losing my balance." Devon said a smile on his face.

"Oh, Devon look out there, that lake is beautiful." Kit exclaimed stopping to point at the lake through the trees well over a mile away.

"That's Lake Hauser, which means we'll be at the cabin by noon, if we keep this pace. I just hope mother is there already and not stuck in Spokane. I'd hate to have to travel all the way back there to find her." Devon said as he looked at the lake with her.

"Mate we need to talk before we get to the cabin. I gave your mother my word that I wouldn't tell you about this; but now I feel that I must if only to answer some of your questions. Before we left your home, your mother gave me three things, one of which she said would have answers to some of your questions." Kithira said as she pulled out the folder the D-arc advanced, and the deck of modify cards.

"What are you talking about?" Devon asked as he turned to look at her his eyes falling on the items in her hands.

"This folder your mother said would have the answers to your questions, the d-arc advanced and cards is for me to help you digivolve and well also in case we wind up in a battle." Kithira said handing him the folder and returning the d-arc and cards to her gauntleted arm.

Taking the folder from Kithira, Devon looks at it for a moment before opening it and spilling the contents out into his other hand. Looking at the dvd, he returns it to the folder but keeps out the picture and two letters.

"Nice picture, got the exact same one in the living room." Devon said about to return the picture to the folder.

"Mate, look at the picture, it's not the same one, trust me." Kithira said as she places a hand on Devon's arm.

"If you mean the silver renomon in the picture, the one in the living room had the side folded over the cover the cabin and the renomon. Mother did that after he left and returned to the digital world; actually I think dad had something to do with it though. She wanted to go with him but dad wasn't about to take the whole family to the digital world just so his wife could be close to her partner." Devon said as he put the picture back in the folder, his voice sounding more gruff than normal.

"So you knew about the picture, what else did you know about these matters?" Kithira asked, probing for insights to her mates state of mind and childhood.

"Well if you must know, the man I called father was nothing of what a father should have been, hell mom's renomon was more of a father to me than that jerk. He showed Daryl and I about as much love as you would to a brick. Mom's renomon showed us more love and affection than the man she married." Devon replied bitterly, as he opened the first letter with his mother's hand writing on it.

The letter:

To my son Devon.

If you are reading this letter it means that something has happened to me or events have forced us to be separated. This letter is to inform you of things you should be made aware of, if you haven't already found them out on your own.

1. The man you called father is not your father, I married him to give you a name nothing more or less. Sad to it was a bad choice on my part, I'd been better off if I raised you and Daryl myself with Cole's help.

2. I'm sure you loved that surprise, the next one's going to blow your feet out from under you. You better sit down, you'll need it.

3. Cole my renomon is your father, and also Daryl's. Sit down if you're standing and take deep breaths and relax. LOL

4. That was the hard part, now for the easy part. The dvd is the only true record of your birth and it can be very dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands, like Hypnos or J.A.S.F. or any anti-digimon group.

5. If you haven't already digivolved into a renomon, well you will soon enough. Hence the blue d-arc advanced and the deck of modify cards you found with this letter. Once you've digivolved find someone you trust to be your partner, otherwise Hypnos will come after you, and try to send you to the digital world one way express. The red d-arc was your brothers, but tests that I had done when he was nine showed that he would not ever be able to digivolve.

6. By now your think that your mother has a few screws lose, but I don't. When you were one year old, Cole and I had tests done and they showed that you would be able to digivolve.

7. The D-arc of an advanced design I made for you and Daryl, they use a lot less power for the digivolving process, and operate on a different range than the standard ones passed out by Hypnos, thus making them able to not only pass through the firewalls Hypnos is installing currently but are virtually untraceable by normal means. This alone will let you travel to the digital world freely without worry. And if you're wondering how I made the D-arc advanced models, just think of it this way; I didn't always work as a waitress in some café for low pay.

Now I charge you my son with your mother's final wish and request. If this letter finds you after I have died, I want you to take my remains to the digital world or at least my ashes, to Cole my mate and your Father. And while you're there learn from him and trust him to care for you as a father should. He never wanted to return to the digital world but that bastard I married forced the issue. I should have left him and taken you and Daryl to the digital world with Cole instead of staying here, my biggest regret.

With love, Lisa Thackry

"She knew all along that this was going to happen to me, but I can understand her reasons for not telling me about being able to digivolve. Teenage boys are prone to bragging and hell if I had digivolved at let's say while playing hockey, someone would have ended up hurt if not dead. Not to mention my friends thinking that I was lying about it, or even worse they believe me and I get picked on because of it." Devon said somewhat surprised at himself, and handing the letter to Kithira for her to read.

"Well that explains a lot of my questions to. But I'm still wondering what else she is not saying in the letter. There are implications of many secrets being kept from you and some maybe more than you or we can or can't accept." Kithira said as she folded the letter back up.

"I'm just wondering if I really want to find out what's in this second letter, could it be some of them secrets I really don't want to know about. At worse it could be from that jerk of a step-father I had at the best it could be from my real father." He said as he turned the second letter over and over in his hands.

'Well the only way you'll ever know mate is to open it and find out, and to be honest I'm curious about it also. But if you think that its best to wait, I can understand that also, but its the wondering that's killing me." Kithira said.

Devon opened the letter, and found the script of the second letter to be graceful and flowed with elegance. Who it was from and what it said floored him.

The second letter:

To Devon my son.

First I hope this letter finds you in good health. By the time you get to read this I'm sure you will be a young man or even grown to adulthood. To introduce myself I'm Cole (your mothers name for me) a Renomon of the silver diamond clan from the digital world, and am your true sire. The human that you call father all these years is actually your stepfather, and not related to you in any way other than his marriage to your mother. As I set here on the roof of the house writing this letter, I'm watching you ride your tri-cycle around the backyard. For two years now I've watched you grow from a small baby to the little boy playing before me. You unlike your older brother Daryl possess a very unique ability that no other human children have. Someday soon I hope you will discover that ability on your own before I have to leave and return to the digital world and my clan. But if not, I will be satisfied with knowing that you will eventually digivolve into your true form. Yes my son you can and will digivolve as you grow older, the blood and power of my clan flows in your veins. I have always known since the day of your birth that you would be able to digivolve; even then I could sense the power within. I didn't need some test to tell me that. Blood knows blood; I believe the human saying goes.

This is the one thing I charge you to remember: With power comes the responsibility to use it wisely.

Now with that said I must confide in you a secret I have kept from your mother for some time. Two human years ago I got curious about some of your stepfather's doings. After many months of watching him I learned many details about his life away from home, the one he claimed openly to others. But I found out that your mother and Daryl and you were more of a hindrance than anything else to him. I watched him leave home and claim to be going out of town on business trips as he had told your mother he was, but more often he would drive out to Medical Lake to the other home he secretly had there with another women. Too many times to count I watched as they rutted in the pool, or backyard as they were prone to do. Other times I watched as they left town on a jet plane going somewhere together, not to return for a week or more.

But what really disturbed me about your stepfather was his lack of honor. Many nights I have watched him beating the women he kept at his other home, yet when she had the chance to leave she never did "that alone is troubling to see". And many other nights I watched as he forced people to hand him large sums of cash, 'a bookie' I think is what he would be called. I have asked your mother to return with me to the digital world and that we would raise you and Daryl there. She refused me, but such is her right, 'the dam decides where to den' remember that when you find a mate my son and you'll do well. I believe there are other reasons she refused to move our den to the digital world. I stumbled upon him and her in an argument a few days before I would be forced to leave, I only heard a small part of the argument, but what I did hear was enough to convince me of my suspicions. He said something about calling some place called 'Child protective services' and a few of the government agencies that I never had heard of, but one I knew that your mother and I didn't want any trouble with was Hypnos. We had already had a run in with them numerous times and didn't want them involved with our pack, err, family. My mate and I worked for them a few years before your brother Daryl was born, and we had trouble from day one. It was when your mother became pregnant with Daryl that we left Hypnos for the last time.

By this time I had figured out that he was forcing her to stay and forcing me to leave with statements like "I don't want that thing giving my son fleas or rabies, or are you sure that thing had its shots." And the verbal abuse continued until finally one day your mother asked me to leave because he had threatened to kill me when he returned that night from work if I was still there. His words angered me so much that if it had not had been for my mate I would have struck him down where he stood. She spoke to me and calmed me down with logic. Telling me 'If you kill him, we'll have Hypnos in here in a second to take you away if not just killing you. Also this would give them assholes at Hypnos and all the other anti-digimon groups all the ammo they would need to kill every digimon worldwide, is that what you want?' Thus I had to leave, otherwise he might have harmed anyone of you, and that I could not bare. Nor did I want to be the cause of all innocent digimon worldwide to suffer because of my pride. I knew my mate would call me if and when she needed me.

We both knew that your stepfather was unable to sire children, the only reason she married him was to give Daryl a last name long before you were born. There is not much more I can say.

Now my son you know the truth about your father and matters of things that occurred before you were born, after and why I was not there for you and your brother. If and when you read this and want to speak to me, come to the digital world and seek out the Silver Diamond clan village; I will be there, or if I am not, one of the elders will know of my location.

Fair thee well my son,

Cole aka

Ro'tharan Silver Diamond

By the time Devon has finished reading the letter, he has had to sit down and tears are freely flowing from his eyes coating the fur of his cheeks dark. His body shaking with anger and rage from what he has just read. Kithira takes a seat next to him and lightly strokes the fur on his back trying to comfort him.

"I don't believe what that bastard did to my family! If he was alive I would skin him alive just for the pain he caused my mother! The only good thing that D-reaper did in this world was to kill that cheating, lying bastard!" Raged Devon his tone dark and guttural.

"Easy mate, you can't change the past any more than I can, besides nothing good can come from raging like you are now. If you're not careful you can turn dark. Cool your anger my love." Kithira said in a soft and gentle voice.

"Here read it and you'll understand why I'm so angered. Don't worry mate, I'm not about to turn dark. I just am so pissed that I can't see straight." Devon said causing a sigh of relief from her and a curious look from Kithira at his eyes.

"Good my love you're learning to control your rage, I don't see anything wrong with your eyes though, except this." She said before licking the tears from his cheeks and rubbing up against him.

As she reads the letter, Devon can't help but notice how Kithira's scent is overwhelming his senses and causing his base instincts to take over. Slowly he begins to run his hand along her side and down the leg closest to him. He leans toward her and sniffs at her shoulder and follows it to her neck, she shudders as his breath flows across her neck fur. As his hand slides back up her leg, he dives it between her legs and rubs her hood in passing and continues upward across her belly to her nips. Her breath catches in her throat when his fingers graze her hood, causing a shudder of pleasure to course through her body.

Which is only heightened as his hand reaches her nips and rubs each one as his hand traveled upward to her top set and begins playing with her nipple rings gently.

"Mate, the letter.. I haven't finished reading it." Kithira spoke breathlessly caught up in the sensual pleasures Devon was giving her.

Devon licked her neck and nipped at her neck fur, both his hands now caressed her body.

"The letter can wait my love, I can't." Devon said with lustful ardor.

"Ooh! That feels so good, please... don't stop." Kithira murmured now swept up into his longing need.

"I don't intend to. Mating position now!" Demanded Devon in a gruff dominant voice that gave the impression arguing was a bad idea, his need to mate controlling his actions.

Kit's ears twitches in annoyance and her eye's narrow dangerously. Normally this would be enough to make any renomon bow in submission, but this didn't seem to work with Devon.

"Just who in the fuck does this renomon think he is! Ordering me around like I'm some common beast to be told what to do! But perhaps it is a mating game I've heard some humans like to play. He was not raise like a normal Renomon. It makes sense that he would be more dominant, like a Alpha-Prime male. But that's unheard of in the digital world. He could challenge the Prime female over all the clans and possibly win. Ohh I could only hope to get that lucky! Hmmm it would be interesting to play along at least to see what it's like. (Kit looks behind her and see's that Devon's cock is already sticking two inches out on his sheath.) Oh my! So it is his need to mate that is controlling his actions, his base instincts. I had always wondered secretly what it was like to be taken viciously by Daryl, but he was not the type that would do it. Now if I play my cards right I just might get my fantasy fulfilled by Devon. I have always been the aggressor in every mating I have ever had. Perhaps now it is time for me to learn to be submissive. (Devon picked her up and forced her to her hands and knees.) Ohh this could get interesting." Kithira thought to herself as an aroused smirk appeared upon her muzzle.

Roughly his hands grabbed her waist as he thrust his steel hard shaft forward penetrating her cunt abruptly, causing Kithira to gasp in both pleasure and pain as he hilted his cock into her dripping hot snatch on the first thrust. Kit's sex is swollen from her coming into full heat, his pelvis rams painfully against her tail as her first orgasm takes hold of her body, inciting a surprised yip of pleasure from her and Devon as her cunt muscles clamp down on his barely formed knot. Devon growls erotically as her cunt clamps down on him. Her cunt muscles clamp down on him making her feel almost as tight as a virgin. Each time they clamp down on his cock increasing the pleasurable feelings washing through him. Each pulse of her cunny around him was causing him to ram into her harder than before.

"Oh, god, I can almost imagine that I'm taking her virginity, she's so tight. Ohh, yeah! She's cumming all over my cock and soaking my balls in cunt juice, damn, if she was any tighter I'd bust a nut right now." Thought Devon right before Kit yipped loudly in ecstasy.

"That's it, yip for me bitch! Tighten up!" Growled Devon as he leaned over her back and clamped his teeth into the back of her neck, the hot rich taste of her blood trickled into his mouth, fueling his need to mate, a new level of sexual arousal rushed through his body causing him to pound into her harder and faster but not understanding why but at this moment not caring.

"Never have I been mated like this! His cock is so huge and the knot is so large it's painful but, it's pressing my hidden spot! He's need is greater than I expected. He's so brutal.. He's like the first of our kind.. Almost mindless.. During mating.. oh yes I'm going to...cum.. Again! Oh FUCK OW! He.. just bit..me..oh...oh. By the first one . I'm..cumming!" Kit thinks as she pulls her head back and howls louder than ever before as the strongest orgasm she has ever felt slams through her body. Pleasure and pain grip her abdomen as ovulation occurs causing another yet even stronger orgasm to take control of her, as her body starts moving in time with him increasing the pleasure for both of them. Devon could no longer take it anymore as his knot swelled within her locking him to her. His sight goes dim with black rings encircling his vision as his orgasm strikes him, with one last thrust he shoves his shaft deep into her womb just as his balls draw up and his seed is forcibly pumped the length of his shaft filling her womb. Slowly as his vision returns he lets go of her neck and has the uncontrollable urge to turn around, as he does so he feels erotic pain and pleasure as his cock twists inside her. His shaft swells inciting a moan of pleasure from Kithira as their tails entwine, ever so carefully they lay down on their sides to catch their breath, and allow tired muscles to relax. Minutes pass as Devon's cock continues to pump jets of sperm into her, every time another jet is pumped his cock swells and causes them both to moan in pleasure. As time passes slowly his knot starts to shrink and their combined juices start to trickle from her vulva. Finally able to move a little Devon lifts his head up to look at his mate.

"Kit, are you ok?" Devon said with worry so blatant a blind man could see it.

"I'm fine Devon. To be honest I quite enjoyed that, I have never been mated like that before. I was kind of surprised by your forcefulness. But I liked it." Kit said with a very satisfied smile on her lips.

"I'm glad you're ok, I kind of lost it. Wait a minute, did you say that you liked it? And why can't I pull my cock out?" Devon said surprised.

"Yes, I did, a mon has to have her fantasies played out once in awhile. Hopefully with you more often, like every time I'm in season? You didn't know, you have a knot my love that keeps your seed inside my womb increasing the chances of me conceiving." Kit replied seductively, as she flexed her cunt muscles tightly around his knot causing his body to pump more seed into her already full womb. Devon moans in pleasure.

"Oh, like it rough do you? I think I can arrange your request. But if you keep that up, we'll never get free. I can see it now us walking up to the cabin butt to butt and my mom comes out the door. Talk about embarrassing. Besides I don't know about you, but I will need to go relieve myself in the next hour or so." Devon said with good humor.

Kithira laughs at Devon's statement, in the process her abdomen cramps painfully again with the familiar feeling of ovulation, vaginal muscles clamp down painfully on Devon's knot and shaft as she wails out in pain. Inside she feels two ripe ova release into her sperm filled womb. She smiles happily knowing she will conceive, hiding the smile from Devon. Devon gasps as she clamps down on him again, he feels his balls draw and release the last of his seed into her in one massive shot. As she relaxes, Devon's knot shrinks and his cock slides out of her releasing a river of their combined juices tinged pink by her blood. Devon shudders as his cock slowly slides back into it's sheath, the nerves on his shaft hypersensitive. Kithira feels their juices leaking from her distended vulva and clamps her muscles down quickly to stanch the flow, not allowing anymore of his seed to escape from her, greatly increasing the chances of her conceiving.

"What caused you to clamp down like that, it was almost as good as that major orgasm, without all the work." Devon said as he slowly moved around to take her in his arms.

"Post mating orgasm, your knot was pressed against a hidden spot inside that increases my pleasure. Needless to say it can be quite orgasmic, though sometimes anti-climatic." Kithira said enjoying the feel of his arms around her.

"I don't know what came over me, it was like some outside force was controlling my actions. All I can remember was stroking your fur and the next thing I'm buried hilt deep inside you and laying down behind you. Is this normal for renomon during mating?" Devon said a worried tone in his voice.

"Don't worry yourself about it mate, your not fully renomon so there is going to be some differences. Besides most renomon are trained from very young to be very gentle with renamon during mating, you were born human and know nothing of the training. And that I can't hold against you, nor will I allow any others to. Besides it was different not being the aggressor for a change." Kithira said turning to lick him lightly on the cheek.

"Good, then I don't feel so bad about not being able to remember what happened, what if I had hurt you, I'd..." Devon said and then goes silent, lost in thought.

Kithira nudges Devon, bringing him back to the here and now.

"Oh, sorry I was just thinking of what could have happened." Devon said somewhat concerned.

"Mate, you can't worry about the what if's. Sometimes things happen and we can't do anything about it, but stand back and watch. And here's one of those things." Kit said, as she pulled away and stood up.

"Hey, where you going?" Devon asked surprised by abrupt departure from his arms.

"Where else to relieve myself; and then come back to continue our talk unless something else comes up." Kit said as she walked away with an obvious sexy sway to her hips and tail.

"Oh, ok." Devon said a smile in his face as he watched her walking behind a tree. The sound of her urine hitting the ground reminding him that his own bladder was screaming for release also. Devon swiftly stands up and runs behind another tree.

"Ok, no problems just need to figure out how I'm supposed to piss like this. If I just let it fly it might get all over me and that's the last thing I need to smell like urine. If I squat down the sheath will bunch up and then maybe I can pull my cock out and aim it, it's worth a try." Devon thought to himself, and put his plain into action. In seconds his sigh of relief is audible even to Kit some twenty feet away.

Returning back to where they were sitting, Kithira picks up the letter and continues reading it from where she left off. Her ears twitch as they hear Devon returning. Mentally she notes that he needs to be trained to walk silently if he is going to survive someday in the digital world, and continues reading as he walks up. As she reads the contents of the letter, she is shocked by what Devon's stepfather had done. And then impressed by the actions of Devon's mother and true father as she reads this story from Devon's unknown past. When she gets to the end of the letter a look of recognition crosses her face upon seeing who his father is, but is quickly replaced by one of indifference. After she finishes reading the letter, she turns and picks up the folder from the ground, making sure to turn just right, so as she bends over Devon gets an unhindered view of her ass and swollen hood. Folding the letter back up she then returns it to the folder, turns around and holds it out for Devon to take.

"Like I said, more secrets that where better left unsaid. But at least now I know who my father really is, and I can't blame him for having to leave or why. Love can you help me find him in the digital world when we can get there?" Devon said as he takes the folder and puts it in one of his gauntlets.

"You have every right to be angry for what that scum did to your family mate. But he is dead and gone and dwelling on it will do no good for you. Your dam showed much wisdom by keeping your father from killing him. If he had killed him, we would not be here now; this time would have been shaped by his actions. Finding Ro'tharan will be easy even in the digital world." Kithira said moving in close and wrapping her arms around his neck looking up at him.

"And what do you have in mind my little vixen?" Devon said looking down at her, his hands resting on her hips.

"What are your feelings about being a father?" Kithira asked him out of the blue.

"Well I never have given it much thought, not saying that I don't want any children, I do. It's kind of a fact of life, guy meets girl they mate and sometimes a child comes from it. Right now I would have to say if it happens so be it, and I'd try to be the best father I could." Devon said seriously.

"I can accept that, normally renomon your age would not be allowed to mate, they are too young and still being trained of how to treat a renamon. They are also still learning their place among their clan. Renomon are taught to be submissive to all renamon regardless of clan. You my dear Devon, are a unique renomon. Insomuch as you never received the training and would not accept it now. You would never allow yourself to be cowed down to anyone except maybe your mother or father. That's the way you were raised, to be an alpha prime after your time in your mothers den was over. I must say, having you as a mate is more refreshing than a trained renomon. They don't speak unless spoken to and their answers are short concise and to the point. They are no better than what you would call a servant. That is why I am glad that I'm life bonded to you, intelligent conversations, playful nature, and a natural warrior unlike other renomon, is what I receive with you. Needless to say I am very pleased with my choice of mates." Kithira says lovingly and serious.

Looking down at her Devon gives her a gentle lick on the muzzle and then pulls away.

"Hows this for playful? Tag! Your it!" Devon said as he takes off bounding from tree to tree away from her.

Pushing herself to the limit she quickly catches up, but each time she tries to tag him he abruptly changes direction causing her to miss.

"He's better than I thought at avoiding my mock attacks, good awareness for one so young. The first ones forgive me, I must train him in the ways of battle not submission as the laws demand of me. To let such talent go to waste as a breeder would be the worst injustice I could do to him. But if I train him, my dishonor among the clan would be complete. But when have I ever cared about the elders views on dishonor, much like Devon's father Ro'tharan. I can't believe that one of the most sought after breeding males of the Silver Diamond clan is his father. With such a linage our cubs would be accepted by the clans and possible arranged pairings could be made. These musings can wait until after I am sure that I have conceived. I will train him as I see fit regardless what the clans elders say, I'm his trainer and he is my digimon period, they can't argue with that fact. They will want proof that I'm his trainer, but that easily done. DAMN!! I missed him again! He's better than I originally gave him credit for, enough thinking I need to concentrate if I am to catch him." Kithira thought to herself.

Devon was having a blast! He would get ahead of her, allow her to catch up and just as she was about to tag him he would change directions on her. He laughed playfully as he bound from tree to tree then out of the blue would jump out of the trees and run on the ground, never allowing himself to get into a set pattern. For thirty minutes they played. Then Kithira caught him. Devon jumped up and misjudged the branch of an old maple tree he had landed on. It had rotted away on the inside from dry rot. Greatly weakened it snapped like a twig when he landed and fell.

"GOTCHA!" Kithira exclaimed elated as she snatched him out of the air and landing deftly right into the front yard of a rather large multi-room, lake front two story cabin.

The long, winding gravel driveway that connected to the main road had no vehicles occupying the garage or seen anywhere on the drive. The cabin was well built and looked like it was made of a hardwood like oak or maple from a distance. Wood grained vinyl siding covered the sides of the cabin on closer inspection, that gave way to the steep incline of the roof. The wrap around porch sported elegant hand carved scroll work on the posts of the porch enclosure and the entire porch was screened to keep the bugs out. The door was just as beautiful, cherry stained oak with elegant hand carved scroll work matching the porch. All in all it was simple but breath taking. The cabin itself looked as though it had five or more bedrooms. Kithira smiled at this. It took a moment for Devon to realize exactly where they were.

"Oh cool, we're here. Beautiful isn't it. Every summer since before I could remember we would come here. I love this place. This cabin has been in my family for more than one hundred years. Passed down from parent to child. Now it will be mine someday. Come on lets get inside. I want to show you around." Devon said as he pulled out his key out of his left gauntleted paw as he walked toward the front door, unlocking it and going in.

"Oh Damn, looks like I'm going to have to fire up the generator. Power is out." Devon said annoyed, trying to flick on the light switch.

"If you have not been here since last summer, why is this fact such a surprise?" Kithira teased smiling coyly. As she started opening the windows to air the cabin out.

Devon simply rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue and gave her a raspberry in the process of which his vulpine cheeks on his muzzle fluttered comically. Kithira couldn't help but laugh, so hard in fact she was holding her sides when she heard the door shut. She calmed herself down but heard Devon cussing the generator as he was trying to get it started, causing her to giggle every now and then, because of what he was saying, until she heard the generator start up and saw the lights flicker then come on. Outside Devon is overcome by the urge to relieve myself on the way back from the generator shed. Unlike earlier though, he throws his shoulders back and trusts his hips forward releasing a stream of urine onto the side of the cabin. He repeats this time and time again until no side of the cabin is left unmarked. With the light on Kithira could see the fine hand-made furniture in the living room. The large stone work fireplace caught her eyes next; the mantle above the fireplace looked like it had been marred by people carving all over it and not all in the same styles either. Devon came in and saw Kit looking at the mantle, smiling at the thought that his and Kithira's initials will be on that old mantle one day.

"What has made you smile beloved? And I think that some vandals broke into your mother's 2nd den and cut up her fire shelf." Kit said rather upset at the latter.

"Oh the mantle? Don't worry about it. That mantle is more or less the Shelby family tree. It and the fireplace is the only part of this cabin that was part of the original cabin my great-grandfather built. Four generations of Shelby's, Thackry, Melbourne's, and Morgan's have either lived here or visit here every summer. And one day our initials and our children's initials and their children's will grace that mantle. That tarnished yellowing black and white picture in the old frame there in the center on the mantle is Jacob Melbourne my great-grandfather and the start of my family line here in the states. With each generation that has lived here has added to the cabin, the screening on the porch my mother installed some four years ago, she can't stand the bugs in the area especially in the summer. In particular the mosquitoes those things get to be the size of my thumb." Devon said holding up his thumb for emphasis.

"I don't know what to say, your family has a rich history and I can see that they have prided themselves on preserving it. This place is like a standing memorial to those of your family that have passed on before you. I'm honored to be here and becoming part of your family history. But I don't understand what is this symbol around these letters here." Kithira said pointing at one of the older carvings.

Devon looked carefully at the symbol she was asking about and smiled.

"That is a heart, a symbol of love or in this case marriage. That one is my grandpa and grandma's mark Mom's mother & father." Devon said.

"And where is yours?" Kit asked politely.

"My initials are not on there yet, but it's time to change that." Devon replied happily as he extended a claw and began carefully carving his into the wood of the mantle. And then he carved 'KSD' next to his 'DSD' and enclosed them with a heart.

"But I thought you said those that have lived here carved their initials into the mantle." Kithira said somewhat shocked and confused, bordering on emotional.

"I do live here, every summer, but the other thing is that all members of the family carve their initials upon getting married with the date, as I am doing now." Devon said with a smile on his lips.

For the first time in her life Kit was speechless. It was then that she realized that Devon was taking their life bond seriously. Even as young as he was he was serious about their relationship. At that moment Kithira began to cry tears of happiness as Devon finished carving their "wedding" date into the mantle. As Devon turned to her, she kissed him passionately, with love and gratitude. This cause Kithira to feel the need to be mated again and began to rub his sheath teasingly.

"Mmmmmm, what's got you fired up? Not that I'm complaining, keep that up and I'll have to change my plans for the rest of the day." Devon said seductively as he picked her up and carried her toward the stairs.

"And where are you taking me?" Kithira cooed seductively smiling at him, as her tail slid between his legs to cup his balls.

"Where else, to our bedroom." Devon said as he carried her upstairs, occasionally tweaking one of her nipples and licking her cheek on the way up.

Kithira gasps as his fingers play with one of her nipples through the fur of her chest ruff.

"And what do you plan to do there?" Kithira asked, a knowing look on her face.

"Taking my sweet time pleasuring you until your begging me to stop." Devon replied, his amorous intentions made obvious as the tip of his shaft nudged into her ass cheek.

"Calm down my love or you won't be able to carry out your intentions." Kit said teasingly.

"I don't know, I may just stick it up your tail hole this time. I've heard that it's tighter than an un-mated females hood." Devon teased back smiling, but trying to look serious.

"You'll do no such thing! If that's your plan you can put me down right now!" Kithira demanded firmly.

"I don't know, you seemed to like my finger there the second time we mated." Devon responded as he carried her down the hallway.

"Your finger is one thing, that mammoth cock of yours is another, it'll never fit." Kit replied unnervingly aroused by the prospect but covering it up well.

Opening his bedroom door, Devon carries her in and sets her down on the bed.

"Wait here my love, I have a surprise for you, be right back." Devon said stepping back out into the hallway.

Devon walks to his mother's bedroom and retrieves some items he thinks Kit will enjoy

immensely and secrets the items away inside one of his gauntlets, and heads back to his room.

"He wouldn't actually do it, would he. No, he wouldn't be so bold. But the idea is rather intriguing, and arousing." Kit thinks to herself and removes her gauntlets, she leans back on the queen sized bed her legs spread wide before beginning to rub her swollen hood toying with the thought in her mind.

As Devon walks down the hallway back to his room, he catches sight of Kithira's reflection in his antique dressing mirror just inside the door stopping him in his tracks entranced. Kit has laid back with her butt hanging halfway off the bed with her legs spread wide one paw rubbing her cunt, the other pulling on her nipple rings. He watches as she slowly spreads her hood reviling the dark pink folds of her cunt. Her other hand joins the other and starts lightly rubbing her swelling clit. Barely above a whisper his ears pick up her moan in self-pleasure, absentmindedly he starts stroking his cock to a full erection before forcing himself to stop. Carefully he removes his gauntlets and grips them in his teeth, next he crouches down onto all fours and slowly enters the bedroom heading to the bed and his self-pleasuring mate unaware of his return. As he approaches the bed he removes the gauntlets from his mouth and sets them down on the floor.

Trying not to make a sound he carefully removes the item he took from his mother's room and cups it in his hand. Her scent is so strong it takes all of his will power to keep from jumping up and taking her right then. He breaths in her scent, so intoxicating and inviting, his already full erection throbs painfully in his sheath and seems to swell even more as the tip extends outward turning almost purple in color with each throb. He watches as Kit rubs faster and faster on her swollen clit, as her leg muscles start to tense with her coming orgasm he moves forward and shoves his tongue deep into her open wet cunt. Kithira's head slams back onto the bed howling out her orgasm as his tongue invades her cunt and strokes her hidden spot increasing her release. Her juices flow freely for his taking, her pheromones tingle his nose arousing him even more. Kithira's paws grip his head holding him between her legs his mouth pressed against her; greedily he lashes his tongue inside of her snatch trying to lap up all of her cunt juices as she shudders under him. As she shudders in orgasmic bliss, Devon quickly wets the toy in her cum and instead of shoving it into her hot wet box; he lowers it to her winking asshole and slowly shoves it in. Kithira gasps as something is shoved into her tail hole, causing her to lift her head through her orgasm blurred vision she sees Devon's head gripped in her hands as the second orgasm takes her body and consciousness.

Meanwhile 15 miles away:

Deb watches as the tow truck pulls away heading back to Spokane. Looking over at Dax, she shakes her head.

"I can't believe the nerve of that driver! Trying to charge us for a delivery fee that the rental company already pays for." Deb seethed hotly.

"Well, you get what you pay for Deb. You're the one that wanted to go with the cheap car rental company." Dax reminded Deb somewhat amused.

"At least they did offer you a replacement car, it may not have the gps or mp3/dvd player, but it will hopefully get us to where we're going. But hey at least it's not a sub-compact that seats two and a baby if you're lucky." Lisa said as she helped Dax with the last of the bags.

"But did they have to send a last year model mini-van that looks like it's about to fall apart if not explode." Deb whined.

"It could be worse, after all we could be walking. I sure don't want to walk around 15 to 16 miles with these bags, some of them are just plain heavy." Lisa said as she climbed in the back seat next to Cole.

"The smell makes me glad I haven't eaten anything lately." Cole said covering his nose with one paw and uncharacteristically sticking his head out the sunroof like a common dog.

"The good news is they aren't charging me for the extra week on the rental, the bad news is, and I think we can all agree on, is the smell." Deb said as she rolled down the passenger window.

"Now which way do we go? Dax asked as he started the engine, and then quickly rolled down the driver's window as the stench of something decaying reached his nostrils.

"That way. And hurry!" Lisa said pointing with one hand, holding her nose with the other one.

Back at the cabin:

Kithira's eyes snap open as a sharp pain brings her fully awake. Before she can do anything the most erotic feelings wash through her as something cold is pressed against her clit. Looking down she sees Devon kneeling between her spread legs with something pressed against her hood.

"Mate.. I ..don't know what you're doing but don't stop." Kit stammers as her whole body shudders under his touch.

"Just a little surprise for you." Devon said as he pulled his hand away along with whatever was cold. He leans over and gives her hood a lick making her shiver and gasp. And continues up her body licking and kissing until he is over her, his face inches from hers. Her breath coming in ragged gasps from the treatment she just received.

"I told you I was going to make it last this time. I want to enjoy and remember our mating." Devon said in a soft voice before kissing her.

Kithira returns the kiss and runs her paws down his well-muscled body, relishing the feel of his fur. Once down to his waist she runs a paw in between them and grips his shaft, enticing a moan from him as she slowly starts stroking the already hard member and feel a jet of pre-cum land on her belly. Breaking the kiss she looks up at him.

"What are you waiting for, I'm ready and my need is great. Let me up so I can position myself to receive your seed." Kithira said in a lustful seductive voice.

"No, my dear I want to look into your eyes, I want to watch the expressions of pleasure on your face as we mate." Devon responded as he lowered his hips and thrust his tip into her.

Looking up at him she sees him looking her right in the eyes as his tip enters her hood slowly. The look of concentration is almost unnerving as he fights his instinctual need to hilt his rod within her. She moans loudly as his girth stretches her already shrinking cunt, a good sign that she has conceived already. Ever so slowly he withdraws only to push it back in even deeper with each thrust allowing her body to accommodate him. Intently he watches as with each thrust her expressions change, her breath comes in shorter gasps, and she moans louder as her orgasm approaches. Her muscles start to clinch against his member; he flips a switch on the remote concealed in his paw activating the egg buried in her asshole. Her expression is one of wonder at the new feeling, but quickly changes when her orgasm hits as Devon begins thrusting in earnest no longer able to control his instincts. Kithira's body tenses and her howl is silent as the intensity of her climax takes her away. Her body begins to convulse gently as she approaches the peak of her climax. Minutes pass as she finally starts to come down from her hard orgasmic ride.

It isn't long after that Devon's own orgasm takes him. He thrust his hips one final time burying his knot deep within her tying them firmly together and howls loudly as he fills her with his seed.

They look into each other's eyes, lovingly kissing, hugging and caressing one another and enjoy the afterglow. Devon turns off the vibro egg and smiles.

"So what did you think beloved?" Devon asked softly.

"That was certainly unique, it felt so good. It was definitely unexpected that's for sure. I have never experienced such a sensation before, I could get used to it." Kithira responded happily.

"I'm thirsty, come on wrap your legs and arms around me and I'll take us down stairs and we can see if we can find something to eat and drink.

"But love-" Was all Kit could get out before Devon picked her up and started to carry her to the bathroom and Kit's peals of laughter that became moans of pleasure echoed off the the walls.

But never made it there.

Devon stumbled as Kithira's laughter caused her vaginal passage to spasm around his shaft and knot. A lustful grunt fading into a groan brought Devon to his knees. Devon laid Kit back on the bed and began pounding her cunt with renewed fervor. His large glands still tying them together stimulated her hidden spot. In, out, in, out, in to her as deep as he could shove his long thick shaft into her. The sound of the slurping suction of his dick ramming into Kithira's snatch could be heard and this only served to drive them both on.

"Devon please no more I beg you. Oh By the first one I"M CUMMING DEVON!" Kithira cried out her climax reaching her voice.

Ten minutes pass and Devon then turns and shifts them around so they can be butt to butt comfortably. They then relax for a while as they both know it will be an hour or more before Devon's knot will shrink enough for them to separate. A few moments later, they hear the front door slam shut. A feeling of dread and embarrassment overcomes them both as they look at each other and say the same thing.

"It's mom." They said in unison.

Outside:

"Nice choice of rental companies, Deb. One breaks down and then the replacement drops the transmission half a mile from where we're going." Dax complained vehemently as they walked up the gravel driveway leading to the cabin.

"If you will excuse me I have to go bathe myself in the lake. I hope I can get this horrid stench out of my fur!" Cole whined vainly, and starts too bound off when an the unfamiliar scent of a male renomon close by putting him on the defensive.

"Everyone stay here!" Cole ordered them as he moved toward the cabin. His voice on edge.

"Uh, ok, that's not good. He's picked up the scent of something, that might be very bad, lets hang back and wait until he says it's safe." Lisa suggested to her companions as she pulled out her gun and cocked it.

Dax quickly reaches into one of his bags and pulls out his D-arc and hits the scan button.

"This can't be right, there's no way this is right!" Dax exclaimed as he reads the holo-display.

"What's the matter?" Deb asked looking at Dax.

"I don't know, ether my scanner is malfunctioning, or there's two champion level digimon in the cabin. Double check for me." Dax requested Deb sounding worried.

"You got it! Checking now." Deb replied as she pulled out her D-arc, hitting the scan button, and got the same results.

"Your scanner isn't malfunctioning, I'm getting the same thing." Deb reported now just as worried as Dax.

"What type of digimon are they?" Lisa asked curious.

"I don't know, it says there's two of them but I can't get a good data read on them." Dax said as he played with the controls on his d-arc.

"Let's just let Cole deal with them, he won't intentionally put us in harm's way." Lisa retorted as she kept watch.

Slowly Cole circles the cabin, watching for any signs of the intruding renomon he knows is there. He sees that the generator has been turned on, sending electricity to the cabin itself. Moving toward the cabin with the speed of the wind in less than a second he is beside the cabin wall. He sees the fresh urine stains on the wall. This close to the scent mark, his sensitive nose identifies a young male and an older female, the scent is combined but unmistakable to his nose. A breeding male with an older female in full season. The smell of a female in full season has an instant effect on him, his shaft throbs, grows and begins to emerge from his sheath. Shaking his head he thinks.

"No she's has already chosen a mate, it's not for me to interfere. But what are they doing here in my den?" Cole growled territorially.

As he headed to the front door.

Just as Cole opened the front door he heard the unmistakable and delicious sound of a female renamon screaming her ultimate pleasure.

"Ohh this might be easier than I thought. They would be tied now and unable to strike out at me easily. I think I shall go for a talk to find out why they are trespassing." Cole murmured to himself but forgot to close the front door quietly, as it slams shut.

He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Smooth move Ro'tharan let them know you're here. Oh well, I needed to do so anyway." Cole mused annoyed with himself for making mistakes only a yearling would have made.

Cole tracks the scent through the cabin and finds the source in Devon's bedroom. In the old antique mirror he sees a silver renomon and a yellow renamon scrambling to cover themselves with the blankets. Watching this Cole is hard pressed not to laugh.

"They give me the impression of two human teenagers getting caught having sex and trying to cover it up." Cole thought to himself, chuckling as he entered the room.

They both are startled by his sudden entrance into the room.

"Who the hell are you! How dare you come into were you're not invited!" Devon demanded of the stranger in his room.

"Devon, shut up and pay more respect, that's your father!" Kithira admonished Devon as she slapped him on his thigh to get his attention.

"When you two are finished come downstairs, your mother and I will be waiting." Cole said rather amused as he inclined his head to Kithira. Then turned and walked out of the room.

Seconds pass quietly before ether move or speak.

"That was my father! Oh shit! I'm so dead! For disrespecting him like that, Mom is going to skin me alive!" Devon said his voice heavy with fear as his actions sink in causing him to lose his erection and knot quicker than he thought possible.

"Oh damn, I hoped you were going to last longer than this." Kit gripped as she felt Devon's cock shrink and withdraw from her.

"Me to, just with my father showing up and my big mouth going off like that, it's amazing what a little fear will do. We better clean up first, bend over and lift your tail so I can remove that toy. I got to clean it up and put it back before mom finds out that I borrowed it." Devon Said.

Kit rolls up to her hands and knees and lifts her tail for him. She feels a tugging on her tail hole. Slowly Devon pulls on the wire to the vibro egg. Kit feels her tail hole widen as the toy comes out. She moans in pleasure at this new feeling and just as quickly as she felt it, the pleasure is gone. Devon and Kit quickly go to his bathroom to clean up themselves and the vibro egg. While Kit is in the shower Devon returns the egg to its case in his mother's dresser drawer, and then returns to his room to start grooming Kithira.

"Here Kit stand on the towel, please." Devon requested as he plugged in the hairdryer and grabbed a brush.

"I wondered where I left this. I'm glad I didn't lose it." Devon muttered more to himself than to Kithira.

Devon was almost done drying Kit when she notices the glint of metal coming from her hood.

"Devon what is this?" Kithira asked as she pulled open her hood to find her clit pierced with a silver ring and in the ball was set a brilliant diamond.

Devon blushed but answered her anyway.

"It's an engagement ring. Human girls wear them on their fingers, but that would be impossible for you. For one I doubt we could find one in your size, two I figured one or two hard fights and the ring would be ruined or lost. So it thought the best place for it would be here." Devon reasoned logically as he gently tugged on the ring, forcing sharp jolts of pleasure thought her overly sensitive body as her clit was stimulated. Kithira gasped again and again as the teasing continued.

"There are of course other benefits as well." Devon said in a seductive tease.

"Devon please no more, I ohh, Devon, your parents, oh yeeaa, I'm gonna cum!" Kithira moaned haltingly barely able to catch her breath before her climax shuddered throughout her body. Devon held her as she came down from her apex.

"I love you Devon, and I love the gift you gave me. Thank you mate." Kit said as she kissed Devon with loving affection.

"Now you are still dripping wet in some places. Lets get you dry shall we?" Kit said as she returned the favor of drying his fur. In no time he was pristine and making Kit drool.

"I thought Ro'tharan was handsome but, he has nothing on my Devon." Kithira thought pleased with the results.

"Damn! Great job Kit, I'm turning myself on. But I think I did a better job on you, but then again I'm biased. You'd look beautiful to me even if you were covered in blood and gore up to your soft and magnificent ears." Devon half jested but his tone changed when he was complimenting Kit to one of loving seriousness.

"Alright you! Keep that up and we will never leave your- our room. Now your father has summoned us. We must not keep him waiting any longer than we have to. Let's go Beloved. I want to show my new Mother-in-law what a handsome renomon she has for a son." Kithira said adoringly.

"Well since you put it that way lets go, but I gotta tell you keep stroking my ego like that, I'm gonna think you're madly in love with me and I don't think I'll ever find a way to be rid of you. Now that I think about it. I never want to be without you in my life. I love you Kithira Silver Diamond with all my heart!" Devon returned her loving words with his own, and kissed her. Breaking the kiss Devon walks over to where his and her gauntlets are laying. Picking hers up he holds them out to her.

"Your gauntlets milady." Devon said with flare and a fake British accent.

Taking her gauntlets from Devon, Kit puts them on, smiling. Devon retrieves his and puts them on.

"After you, milady." Devon says half bowing and motioning toward the door with his hand.

Smiling Kit steps through the bedroom door with Devon close behind her, heading downstairs and to meet the rest of the family.

Meanwhile 2 hours before:

Cole left the two lovers to their business, stepping outside, he called out to Lisa but couldn't keep the laughter out of his voice.

"It's safe beloved, Devon is fine. Come on in." Cole said.

Lisa stowed away her gun and picked up the stuff she was carrying. She walked to his side looking at him strange.

"What's so funny Cole? Devon is here? Is Kithira with him?" Lisa asked.

"Yes, beloved they are here, but...it may be awhile before we will see them. I caught them in uhh...a compromising position." Cole replied as his ears began to grow pink with embarrassment.

"What do you mean by 'compromising position' Cole?" Lisa asked the lilt in her voice was turning dangerous.

Cole blushed furiously and cleared his throat.

"Uhm... As in the marital way. Kithira is in season, near the end of it from what I can tell and I caught them in a full tie." Cole answered truthfully.

"WHAT!" Lisa screamed right before she charged into the house. Followed closely by Dax and Deb. But she only got as far as the stairs before Cole picked her up and held her close.

"Let me go Cole! He's gonna get-" Lisa began but was interrupted.

"Lisa! They are Mated there is nothing you can do. To put it crudely expecting him not to mate with a renamon in full season is like expecting a 18 year old male not to mate the first female that throws her snatch in his face and is begging him to take her. It's going to happen no matter what we say or think. In our case we have both situations at once. He's a normal healthy male. You can't keep him a cub forever beloved. Be proud of him that he was able to get such a powerful renamon to be the mother of his cubs. In the digital world cubs as young as Devon would have never been allowed to mate, period. In that respect he is blessed. Be patient, they will be down in a hour or two. Ah-ah-, (holding up a clawed finger as Lisa was about to interject) I know it will take that long because they just completed the mating and were in a full tie. At least that how long it takes when I'm tied to you." Cole said smiling mischievously.

"Your right, love, it's just, I don't want him to make the same mistakes I made with you, us." Lisa said her voice barely a whisper.

"Nice place, where can I setup my gear." Dax said interrupting the two, as he sat down the bags he was carrying.

"Being we have some time before Devon and Kithira will be able to join us, Cole, will you show Dax and Deb the guest rooms. I'll go and see about something for us all to eat and drink." Lisa said pulling away from Cole.

"Well at least there here and we didn't come all this way for nothing. What do you mean 'some time' before we can see Kithira?" Deb asked.

"They, like so many partners have consummated their relationship, and are hopefully cleaning up before they come down." Cole said leading the way down the hall to the guest bedrooms.

Dax and Deb exchange knowing looks as they follow Cole.

An hour and half later they are siting around the dining room table drinking something resembling tang and talking when Devon and Kithira make their appearance.

Meanwhile at the Hypnos Command center:

"Chief! Tracking reports they have lost the lock on another two of the digimon that bypassed the firewall, their trying to reestablish a lock but it's not looking good. What are your orders Sir? " The security officer said over the intercom in St. Johns office.

"Tell them to keep at it, I want those two reacquired and a lock on them at all times. Any word from the teams in the area?" St. John asked him.

"Team 1 has engaged a metal greymon virus type and is currently maneuvering him into a toward an unpopulated area before trying to C&D. Team 2 and 3 report 'no joy' their currently searching the area. Team 4 is stuck en route to the last known location of a pair of minotarumon reeking havoc in the East valley district of Spokane. And team 5 reported that agent Stevens has joined them and they are currently checking on a lead about a renamon and tamer forcing their way off a bus heading to Idaho." the security officer said.

"Ok, let me know the second something changes." St. John said turning off the intercom.

"Damn! That made the number of digimon they had lost lock on to 6! If this keeps up the president would ask for his resignation. Maybe it was time to step down from the command post, and retire to someplace warm, that the clothing was next to nothing. Preferably of the string type with a lot of skin and bare foot, and blond." St. John thought.

Reading the report on the desk made him sick, not from details, but more to the point on whom it was about.

"Who have thought that jerk Blake was not only a traitor, but not even full human! He was some sort of digimon-human hybrid, a new form of mon. Not seen before on this side of the barrier between the worlds. Which just made it more imperative that he be captured asap! There was no telling what sort of damage he could do. With everything he knew about the firewall program and the gateways it was no wonder he was able to fake deleting the codes to the firewall. At this moment a team of techs were busy in some room deleting every code he authorized from the main system and even the backups, but that could take weeks to do, if not a month or more." St. John thinking.

Thus he now fell under St. John's jurisdiction. 'a smile forms on his lips' as he turns on the intercom.

"Drake, my office and bring your pad." St. John said quickly and clicked the intercom off.

A knock at the door less than a second later.

"Come." St. John said looking up at the door.

"You shouted for me, chief?" Drake said coming into the office.

"I've got a special project for you to do for me, go down to tracking and pull up the log file for the listening stations around J.A.S.F. Headquarters. I then need you to take the file over and have it analyzed. And I want every detail of it looked at, and I do mean every power spike. And if they ask why, tell them it's a hunch but I think we mite be able to find that traitor Blake by his power signature." St. John commanded and went back to the report on his desk looking for something he might have missed. Looking up he realizes that Drake is still there.

"You haven't left yet! Get moving already and tell them I wanted that yesterday! What, you think your getting paid by the hour!" St. John hollered at Drake.

"Got ya chief, right away, I was just making sure there wasn't anything else." Drake said as he hurried to the door and was out of it in a flash.

"Good kid, little slow on the uptake." St. John thought as he turned back to the file.

Back in Idaho at the cabin:

Dax looks up from his laptop as Kithira steps into the dining room followed by a tall silver renomon.

"Well look what the mon dragged in, Hello Dax, Deb, I thought I heard you to going at it yet again like two gatomon fighting over the same litter box earlier after I got out of the shower." Kithira said in a joking tone as she stepped into the room.

"Heya Kit-kat, not for ten minutes or so. Sorry to hear, well you know." Dax said as he stood up and walked over to Kit and gave her a hug. Deb joins Dax hugging Kit for a second until she sees Devon for the first time and then pulls away.

"Hel-lo Foxy." Deb said looking Devon up and down.

A low growl comes from Kithira.

"Hold on Kit, I'm not trying to take what's yours, just saying hello, that's all." Deb said backing away.

"Make sure that's all it is, besides you have Achilles. Where is he anyway?" Kit asked looking around.

"Stuck in the digital world with Rayne, looking for you, or at least until Dax can bypass the firewall and get them here." Deb replied.

"EXCUSE ME! Where's Devon, I thought he was coming down with you, instead I see another renomon!" Lisa asked somewhat dismayed.

"Gees, mom do you have to shout, I'm right here, and I'm sure the neighbors a mile away heard you." Devon said stepping around Kithira.

"I hear my sons voice but I see a renomon...whats going on?... Oh shit! Devon you digivolved! What took you so long? Cole you knew about this and you didn't tell me? And don't tell me you didn't know, you said that you caught them tied." Lisa said rapid fire at the two of them excitedly.

"I had help, a greymon bent on killing Kithira gave me a jump start with a nova blast to the back, boy did that hurt. And a suntan better than I could've got at a tanning booth." Devon replied.

Cole laughs at the description of a nova blast attack.

"I've had a few of those myself, but they do nothing for my fur. The last one took me a digi-week to regrow my fur." Cole said shuddering from the memory.

"What the hell are you all talking about? Humans can't digivolve!" Dax and Deb say at the same time.

"Mother, I understand why you didn't tell me about this." Devon said pulling the folder from his gauntlet then removing the dvd from the folder before handing the folder to her.

"This I still need to look at, do we have a dvd player around here, I need to use it. I beg to differ, I'm proof right in front of you, I just haven't figured out how to go back to my human form yet. Go ahead and scan me with you d-arc then you'll both believe." Devon said as he held up the dvd.

Deb pulls out her d-arc and scans Devon with it. Reads the holo-display then shows it to Dax.

"The scanner doesn't lie, I'll be damned an actual digi-human hybrid! You were right to keep him hidden; Hypnos would have a field day if they learned of him...Let's just say that I'm glad not to be working for them anymore. I always hated order 123-A." Deb said.

"Wait there's only 94 general orders on the books, when they add the other 29 orders?" Lisa asked.

"In the last ten years or so, but the last 20 don't even exist on the books, and they only pertain to those of us in the black op's." Dax said.

"So whats order 123-A?" Devon asked.

"Black op's general order 123 states: Any non-standard digimon are to be contained and or destroyed if encountered. Subsection A states that any digimon that fall within the classification of hybrid are to be contained for study or destroyed if containment is not possible. Sure glad we don't work for them anymore, it's not like they really gave us a choice about it ether." Deb said.

"Good, because I would really hate to have to kill someone that knew my brother just because of some stupid order." Devon said in warning as he flexed his diamond hard claws and looking rather menacing.

"Devon Jacob Thackry! How dare you be so rude! Especially to our guests! I'll tell you what boy don't test me! Dax and Deb have proven themselves to be good people. The kind of people I would want to call friend. Kithira may be your trainer but I am still your mother! Do NOT ever threaten a guest in my house ever again. Do you understand me?" Lisa admonished Devon angrily

"I've got one in my laptop if you want to use it." Dax offered to stop the thunderstorm of an argument he saw coming by the look on Devon's face.

Devon simply nodded to his mother but said nothing to her. He then looked at Dax as if trying to decide if he could trust him as he was considering his mother's words.

"Thanks Dax, I'll take you up on that later." Devon accepted politely.

"Damn! Stupid motherfucking piece o' -" "DAX!" Deb interrupted to keep Dax's cussing rant about the firewall to a minimum.

"Oh sorry. It's just that I can't seem to bypass this damn firewall. And it's frustrating the fuck out of me!" Dax apologized albeit with his frustration coming through unintentionally.

"Why are yo- never mind, you're trying to get Rayne and Achilles out of the digital world. Ok, I'll help. What type of encryption code are you using Dax?" Lisa asked curiously.

"The standard128 bit code that everyone gets working for Hypnos." Dax answered still frustrated.

"Have you tried a 256 bit code?" Lisa suggested smiling, knowing what his answer would be.

"256! They don't make them that high! To my knowledge at least." Dax replied unsure.

"It's usually programmers or top level exec's that get that high of a code. But I seem to know a pass code through the control program of the firewall that even if they scramble the codes, it wouldn't matter." Lisa informed him with a sly smile and a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"You know of a back door through the firewall? How would you know that? Please forgive me for not believing you, but it is kinda hard to believe." Dax said honestly.

"I should hope I do, I wrote the control program for the firewall and added a back door just in case I might need it. Unfortunately it doesn't keep the firewall down long enough for a human to go to the digital world. But it does allow about 15 to 20 digi-minutes for a digimon to come here before the back-ups kick in or someone manually restarts the program." Lisa told them.

"That's not very long, they would have to be right by a portal or very close to one, not to mention as fast as a -" Dax began but was interrupted by Deb yet again and Dax was starting to get annoyed with her.

"Dax you dunderhead! I know where they are going to be at and when to contact them. Per standard protocol, we have been out of contact for three days. They should be waiting at a com portal. In the next five minutes actually. So if we are going to do this we need to get on it." Deb said as she looked at her watch.

"Do you mind?" Lisa asked motioning to Dax's laptop.

"No, if you have a way to get mine and Deb's partner's here, go right ahead. Besides as a programmer you probably type hell of a lot faster than my hunt and peck typing." Dax replied.

Sitting down at Dax's laptop Lisa's fingers fly across the keys faster than Dax had ever seen before creating a login script designed to shut the firewall control software down and then erase all log files as to why or how the firewall was shut down.

"There it's done, just login to the main Hypnos system then run the script when it asks for it." Lisa said standing up and moving out of the way quickly.

"Five minutes left before they leave the com port area and try again tomorrow." Deb said looking at her watch.

"Logging in now Deb, hold your horse's! Your main man will be here soon enough to ball your brains out. And boy will I be glad, then I won't have to hear her bitchin' about not being laid." Dax said as he runs the script. As the script runs, Dax puts on a headphone mic setup and moves the boom mic into position.

Amused chuckles from almost everyone in the room except Deb.

On the screen the com port changes from red to green as the firewall light goes dark.

"Rayne, Achilles are you there?" Dax asked hopefully.

At first theres no answer, then a pop of static from the small headphone speaker.

"Bout damn time you called, we're starting to wonder if something had happened." Rayne said somewhat peeved and concerned.

"Look we don't have much time, the firewall may close again any second, both of you get into the digi-port now! Unless you want to stay there for the rest of your digi-days." Dax warned them.

"On our way, better make room or someones getting landed on." Achilles said, in a deep rich bass voice, as Dax dove to one side of the laptop as the screen emitted a bright white light.

Even before the light fades away Deb has jumped into Achilles arms and kissing him passionately. Dax on the other hand is on the floor straddled by Rayne as she pulls her helm off freeing her long red hair to spill over her shoulders and body.

"Hel-lo beaut-." Dax started to say before being cut off by Rayne kissing him.

"I missed you so much, got a surprise to tell you, later when we're alone." Deb said to Achilles almost a whisper.

"Ok everyone, now that we're all here how about we put all the information we got on the table and figure out who wants us dead. Rayne let Dax breath he's starting to turn blue not to mention the severe problem your giving him in his pants." Kit said to both Rayne's and Achilles surprise.

"Damn that's not a one man tent, it's a three ring circus in there. I heard about pitching a tent but you take it to a whole new level dude." Devon said to Dax jokingly and laughing.

Hearty laughter fills the room as old friends are reunited and new ones are made.

"Alright every one, now that Devon has broken the ice lets get on with business. But first I think introductions are in order. Rayne, Achilles, this lovely lady here is Daryl's mother Lisa and Ro'tharan his father. And this unspeakably handsome silver renomon at my side is Devon, Daryl's younger brother." Kit said pointing to each one.

"So where is Daryl? Achilles asked Kit.

"Daryl and my cub were killed at the village we were hiding out in almost three days ago. If it hadn't been for Devon here I would have been killed as well." Kit said with sorrow in her voice.

"Wait a minute! Did you say that this renomon was Daryl's younger brother? Thats not possible, Daryl was human." Rayne said shocked.

"Oh, it's possible if you have a human for mother, a digimon for a father, Daryl took more after mom and I took more after dad. It's kind of apparent by my body." Devon said as he gracefully swished his tail to come to rest wrapped around Kit's waist.

Achilles raises an eyebrow at Devon's tail wrapping around Kithira's waist.

"Do not doubt Kithira's words nor my son's, I Ro'tharan Silver Diamond or Cole if you prefer, am their biological father." Ro'tharan said annoyed.

"Well this is supposed to be a record of my birth, why not watch it and everyone can see for themselves. Or would you prefer to look at a D-arc scan of me." Devon said in challenge.

Everyone elects to see the video as it would be more entertaining than a quick scan.

The video:

The video begins showing a much younger and very pregnant Lisa in obvious labor, lounging in the middle of her plastic covered bed, laying on her side. Cole runs back to lay behind her, and begins rubbing her back holding and caressing her in attempts to comfort her. Lisa cries out in pain as a contraction hits, her belly rising of it's own accord. A minute after the contraction subsides Lisa lever's herself up on all fours with Cole's help, as Cole helps her up to her knees another contraction hits. And her water breaks , the fluid gushes down her legs and spreads out quickly over the bed. Lisa screams out in agony as another of many contractions begin coming faster and lasting longer. The urge to push overtakes her with a vengeance.

"Oh god! Cole I gotta push!!I can't help it!" Lisa cried out as her face contorts to one of straining to push.

"Lisa my love, you are not fully dilated yet. If you push too soon you'll hurt yourself, blow through the contractions. Daryl get the dilation guide and check your mother!" Cole ordered Daryl.

"Ok Daddy!" a very young Daryl replied as a perhaps 10 year old child is seen rushing into the scene with a white plastic square.

"Hurry baby another contraction is about to come." Lisa said urgently.

Daryl is seen putting on sterile gloves on his on his small hands then gently pushes his hand into his mother's vagina. A surprised look come across the young Daryl's face but to his credit he did what he was supposed to. Removing his hand after a few moments and checking it against the dilation guide.

"She is 9 and ¾ dilated, it should be ok to push mom, seeing as I just got my finger sucked on. It's weird, I also felt a lot of hair almost like a pelt." Daryl informed his parents.

Lisa seemed overjoyed at the news until a contraction hit. She grunted loudly as she pushed. A look of relief played across her face as she pushed hard.

"It's coming momma, it's coming, keep pushing!" Daryl encouraged his mother.

"It won't be long now Beloved. We will be able to hold our child soon. Your doing great!" Cole said to Lisa lovingly.

Five pushes later a nose became visible.

"What the fuck!" Daryl exclaimed on obvious surprise.

"Daryl watch your mouth!" Lisa chided.

"But I see a nose...umm..a small puppy nose, the baby isn't human." Daryl said in disbelief.

"Damn IT! Worry about that later lets just worry about getting this baby out of me!!" Lisa demanded desperately.

"You got it mom, two more good pushes should do it mom." Daryl said comfortingly.

Cole watched on in wonder ever since he heard that his eldest felt and seen a puppy-like nose.

With the next contraction Lisa pushed with all her might and the "baby" slipped out quickly and landed into Daryl's happily waiting hands.

"It's a boy! I got a baby brother! And he's a tiny renomon like you daddy!" Daryl announced absolutely ecstatic.

Everyone was surprised but blatantly overjoyed Lisa tied a sterile string around the cord and a few moments later Cole cut the cord with his sharp claws in one smooth scissor-like movement.

Lisa was crying as she killed the DVD. But she had a happy expression upon her face. No one said anything for the first ten minutes as they all were trying to absorb the video they have just seen.

"So I was born a renomon? When did I change to a human?" Devon asked dumbfounded.

"Yes you were, My son. I was never prouder than the day you were born. Two months after you were born you changed to your human form, much to your brother's great disappointment. I had a feeling he was hoping to be your partner." Cole said with an amused chuckle.

At the end of the table Deb has a thoughtful look on her face, then looks down at her belly.

"Oh, fuck!" Deb thinks to herself as the realization hits her about her own pregnancy.

"What's wrong Deb, you look concerned about something?" Achilles asked.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just a little pregnant and it's yours my love." Deb replied smiling.

The look on Achilles face is nothing less than comical, that is if you can put the "OH, SHIT!" look on the face of a leomon.

As all the other questions start and continued long into the evening.

Chapter 7

The cabin:

Lisa woke the next morning and looked at the clock that read 12:00 pm.

"My god it's that late?" Lisa exclaimed surprised.

Beside her, the large furry lump under the covers snored loudly making her quickly put her hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle. She knew full well that Cole would be mortified if he knew he was snoring as loud as every buzz saw in a lumber yard going at once. He would say it was undignified. Even to this day Cole refuses to admit he snores. Lisa disentangled herself from Cole's loving arms and went to the shower. After she had dried off and got dressed, she felt and heard her stomach growl loudly.

"Damn I'm hungry, I'd better see what we have in the kitchen, and find how much we need from the store." Lisa said to herself quietly.

One minute later she was at the kitchen door that was cracked open a little bit and overheard Achilles and Deb talking.

"No I'm not mad at you! This is a joyous occasion! You just took me by surprise that's all. I didn't mean to make you think I didn't want the cub or cubs. I do. It's just that I had resigned myself to the fact that I would never have cubs because I didn't think it possible to have cubs with you. Even though I wanted that so much it hurt. Now you have given me the most precious gift, and I love you all the more my beloved." Achilles said happily.

"Good, I was worried when you didn't say anything the rest of the night. I guess I did shock you dropping that on you the way I did." Deb said laughing.

"Achilles! Stop that! They will be up any minute. Ooh that feels good...No Achilles. Someone could walk in on us!" Deb told him both mildly aroused and embarrassed.

"Then I would say let them watch, but you have said no so I will respect your wishes but what am I going to do about this." Achilles said respectfully.

"Oh! I guess that is a problem. But, didn't you get enough last night?" Deb asked coyly.

"Get enough of you? Never!" Achilles said to her lustfully.

Lisa heard Deb giggle softly and she couldn't help but giggle as well. She debated mentally how she should enter and finally decided just to walk in.

She found them in a loving embrace kissing heatedly and Deb stroking Achilles heavily engorged shaft and Achilles was purring loudly. Lisa blushed red at the scene but felt herself grow wet. She cleared her throat to announce her presence in the room. Both Deb and Achilles jumped startled and blushed.

"Don't mind me, please continue. It will give me an excuse to pounce on Cole later. Besides leaving him with a hard on like that would be cruel. Umm or not." Lisa said giggling as she noted that Achilles suddenly lost the massive erection he had upon her entrance into the kitchen, his cock slipping back into his sheath.

"Uhh, Good morning Lisa. Sleep well?" Deb asked politely but blushing hotly.

"Yes, as well as can be expected considering the circumstances." Lisa answered.

"Uhh Lisa, I have a personal question for you that I didn't feel comfortable asking in front of everyone else." Deb requested obviously uncomfortable as she fidgeted suddenly obsessed with her nails.

"Ok, ask away." Lisa responded her curiosity piqued.

"It was rather disturbing to see a Daryl at ten years old put his hand in your..uhh well you get the idea. It borders on incest. Now Lisa I'm not saying you abused him, so please take the scowl of your face! I guess my question is.. Why Daryl? Why not Cole as it should have been? I'm not trying to judge you, I'm just wondering why? I'm sure there was a logical reason." Deb asked curiously yet still uncomfortable.

"Yes, there was. I had a choice. Cole's claws are not retractable like Achilles are. In addition they make brand new stainless steel razor blades look dull and over used. When he pleasures me he uses either the middle of his long fingers or his knuckle. When he fingers my snatch he bends his fingers at the knuckle and pleasures me that way, but with his fingers bent that way they are only long enough to reach me G-spot, not my cervix. His claws with exception of the back of them never enter or touch my body. So with that established, I will explain it simply. I wanted to be checked throughout my labor to make sure I was progressing and to make sure that there were not any sudden complications such as breach birth or worse. Because if I wasn't progressing, I shudder to think what would have happened if I had to go to the hospital. Tell me something, If you had a choice between your mates non-retractable excessively sharp claws and your exceptionally intelligent son that has no claws and tiny hands that are more comfortable than an adults hands that also had prepared himself on his own so he knew what to expect for the birth and how birth worked from a midwifery point of view, because he was adamant that he wanted to see his baby brother or sister come into the world, not to mention help anyway he could. Think for a moment about those claws inside your cunt and tell me you would choose the claws. Oh which by the way if you had a sudden contraction while being examined those same claws could impale your baby and kill it, not to mention cut up your insides. What would you choose?" Lisa explained thoroughly and raised an eyebrow with her question.

"Ok, OUCH! I understand now...honestly if I were in that position. Give me the kids hands. I don't want any claws like that in my puss. But luckily Achilles claws are retractable so I don't have to worry about that as much. And after what you just told me, believe me I'm thankful for that." Deb said relieved as she hugged Achilles tightly.

"Ok then, so now you know. And thank you for not bringing this up in front of everybody. Cole and Devon would have taken it as a grievous offense to Daryl's memory and would have asked you to leave and never come back if they were feeling generous. I don't want to think about what would have happened if they weren't." Lisa responded shuddering but still thankful.

"No problem, I'm glad I did too, now. Hey Lisa the cupboards are bare and I was wondering if it was safe enough for us to even go to the store to restock. To be blunt, the last thing we need is someone to see us and recognize one of us from the news broadcasts and turn us in. I know we need the food but which one of us should go? Not to mention we don't have a car." Deb asked nervously.

Lisa nodded and looked to be thinking when they both heard a car coming up the driveway.

They scrambled quickly to find weapons. Lisa pulled out a double barrel sawed off shotgun from under the kitchen table, quickly loading it with slugs that were with it, then aimed for the door. Deb just settled for a large meat cleaver that had to weigh 20 lbs., and a 14 inch butcher knife. Achilles poised himself ready to jump at the intruder. They waited as they heard a car door open and close, then another car door open and after two minutes close. Footsteps on the gravel walkway made the tension in the room so thick you could cut it with a knife. Lisa leveled her shotgun better then cocked both barrels so she wouldn't miss if the person or persons barged in.

>Rap, Rap, Rap<, pause >Rap, Rap,< pause >Bang!, Bang!<

The knocking on the front door made Deb jump and make a muffled squeak.

Lisa stepped cautiously towards the front door and peeked out the window, Then calmly un-cocked her shotgun, and slammed it down on the kitchen table before going back to open the door.

"DAMNIT DEVON! YOU ALMOST GOT YOURSELF SHOT AND TORN TO PIECES!! DID IT EVER OCCURE TO YOU TO LEAVE A NOTE!" Lisa bellowed angrily at her son, her face in a heavy scowl like a mask of anger and concern with a touch of fear.

Lisa didn't wait for him to answer she pulled him close and held him despite his height of 7'2.

Devon wrapped an arm around his obviously upset mother before he spoke while still juggling the bags of food in his paws.

"Aww mom, I'm sorry, but I knew we needed the food and a car not to mention gas for the generator. This form is unknown. I played as if my human partner had sent me on these errands. The shop keeper and the guy I bought the car from didn't even bat an eye because I was there. As I was shopping two other digimon came in with lists and money from their partners. Apparently they are regulars because the shopkeeper called them by name. That and the sign above the register that read 'We serve digimon and humans, but no fighting allowed. Take it outside and off my property if you feel you must fight.' So am I still in trouble? By the way these groceries are kind of heavy and there are a lot of them can I get some help bringing them in. Is Kit still asleep?" Devon asked quizzically.

"No, but you do have some questions to answer. One, how much was that car, what is it, and what condition is it in? Two, where did you get the money? Three, who did you buy it from. Four, can it be traced back to us." Lisa asked still somewhat angry as she released Devon from her embrace.

"To answer your questions in order, 500 bucks off the pre-paid credit card. 89 ford custom quad cab truck with a camper, looks like shit but the motor and transmission are new. The interior could use a little work in my opinion, but I never did like puce. And I see by the perplexed looks on your faces that you don't know what puce is, it's a brownish purple. It wouldn't be so bad if wasn't for the entire interior lined with plushy puce colored fake fur with plushy flowers, moons and stars. Yeash! Honestly it looks like an old hippie got a hold of that poor truck. The exterior however is black and a bit beat up. But other than that it's in good condition. Like I already said I got 500 bucks off the pre-paid credit card from an ATM and Horus McDermott, he was a really old man in a wheelchair, signed the title over and seeing as he was the local Notary agent for this area he put it down as the truck was owned by a Renomon. He took care of the tax, title and license. Even sent me where I could get a driving test so I could get my driver's license. He sold it to me because he couldn't drive it anymore. He didn't have any legs, just nubs half-way up the thigh of both legs. I felt bad for him because he couldn't drive it any more but after I bought the truck, I loaded all the food and necessities in to the truck drove it out of sight of the store then pulled over and gave it a complete check for tracking devices and bugs. I didn't find any so I came home. So no it can't be traced back to us. Look enough questions. Can we get the groceries in today before they go bad?" Devon finished rather exasperated.

Devon and the others made quick work of getting the food and the other stuff inside the house.

"What did you do Devon buy out the whole store? I see several loafs of bread, cheese, milk, meat, all kinds of fruit and veggies, a couple boxes of cereal, ice cream, ohh strawberry cheesecake frozen yogurt, pancake mix, sandwich fixings, you pretty much bought everything we need for the next two weeks, And thanks for the toilet paper, the bathroom was getting so low that I thought I was gonna have to use leaves soon. I see you also got paper towels, various cleaning supplies, bath soap, shampoo, and conditioner for the resident digimon and humans, Good they will need it. That will make Cole happy. The fleas and sand ticks are murder out here." Lisa said happily as she helped put away the the food stuffs and necessities.

At the mention of the possibility of getting his fur infested with fleas and ticks Achilles head jerked up with a 'oh god no!' look on his face, grabbed the flea and tick shampoo and conditioner mumbled something about being back in a little while and quickly disappeared upstairs. Five minutes later they all heard the shower running and laughed.

"Ok it would probably be easier to ask what you didn't get." Deb said as she started unpacking the food.

"Alright but you better make sure we have enough money to last us until one of us can get some money coming in. Otherwise we're screwed." Lisa replied as she lent a hand unpacking everything.

"Hey Devon why did you buy so many seed packets and boxes of miracle gro, are you planning on starting a farm?" Dax asked surprising everybody.

"Dax! How many times have I told you not to do that! You scared the piss out of me! Damn where did you learn to walk so quietly that even the digimon didn't hear you. You're lucky we both have a warrant out for us and I need you, otherwise I'd strangle your ass." Deb griped vehemently.

Everyone stood still looking at each other's faces then broke out in laughter.

"Oh you wouldn't want to do that. After all I am your only brother." Dax said convincingly.

"Don't, Just don't go there, I'm still trying to get past the (we had sex when we were younger thing) EEWWW! Oh man I don't feel so good, I think I'm gonna be sick." Deb responded shuddering and turning a little green. Uhh excuse me." Deb told everyone as she made a hasty run for the downstairs bathroom.

"Morning sickness, that's one thing I don't miss about pregnancy." Lisa commented rhetorically.

"Speaking of warrants, I heard on the radio that there is a nationwide man hunt for someone called Anton Blake. One of the charges is treason. The radio announcer said that there were other charges but didn't say what they were. They gave his description and last known location. But authorities are saying that he is armed and dangerous. All citizens are to avoid him at all cost and not to attempt to apprehend him ourselves. That and if he is spotted to call it in to a national 1-800 number." Devon informed his new coterie of friends.

"Anton Blake! If it's the same one I'm thinking of, I know him." Lisa expressed with surprise.

"What do you know about him Mom?" Devon requested curiously.

"Well he used to work for Hypnos as a team security specialist, and was a trainer hopeful but kept getting rejected by the digimon for some reason. All I know is on his last mission to the digital world something happened and it was classified top level as soon at his superiors found out. And as soon as he got back they rushed him to medical and kept him under guard. A few weeks later he up and disappeared and was never seen at Hypnos again. I never did find out why or what happened to him. Word has it that he went off the deep end, and was committed. But he was a serious megalomaniac to begin with." Lisa related somberly.

"Sounds like an egotistical asshole with delusions of grandeur, no wonder a digimon wouldn't take him for a partner. The one that probably would have accepted him was the evil virus types. But then again even they might of thought twice about that." Dax commented jokingly.

"Dax what do you think a megalomaniac is? But here's a thought that chills me to the core. What if he did get a digimon, like MaloMyotismon or Ice Devimon. But what I remember of him no one at Hypnos ever liked him. He always thought his shit didn't stink. On top of that his attitude sucked and he treated everyone like they were beneath him." Lisa told them contemptuously.

"Anton Blake. He was never the same after he came back from that mission. I couldn't stand to be in his presence. He always seemed to say the wrong thing intentionally to grate on peoples nerves. Most of the time he was just intentionally insulting, especially to digimon to their face and their partners behind their back to get a reaction. I overheard the doc pronounce him mentally unfit for duty and he was later fired. If you're wondering how I know this, I can get into places you can't and not be noticed. That's all I know about it other than what Lisa has already told you." Cole informed them honestly.

Everyone in the room shuddered uncomfortably and fearful at the thought of Blake having such a partner. Deb finally came out of the bathroom a few minutes later and began making breakfast for everyone.

------- Meanwhile in the Digital world ---------

Anton Blake had traveled long and hard to get here. He raised his eyes to look upon the dark foreboding castle before him and he felt like he was finally home.

"I will get to see my master soon and although he will not be pleased with me because of my failure, I know he will be pleased to see me. It has been too long, I seem to find myself missing him. Soon, soon I will see him." Blake thought to himself.

It wasn't long before he finally saw the digimon guards. Four Greymon stood between him and his master. He expected as much.

"This though expected is going to be such a hassle. Lesser digimon aren't worth my time." Anton muttered to himself under his breath.

He approached as if he was expected and as if he belonged there, But as expected the guards stopped him.

"You are either very brave or have a death wish human. Leave now and I might give you a head start before I kill you." Growled the Greymon with seething hatred and vile contempt.

"Give it a rest, I'm here to see my master and yours. I am Anton Blake and I dread to think what our master would do to you if you harmed me in anyway. Here look at this and don't waste anymore of my time." Anton demanded haughtily as he opened his shirt and pealed off the skin-toned latex revealing a mark upon his skin. Branded deep into his flesh the mark was of a Daemon in it's true form. Carved line by line with infinite detail into his skin above his left pectoral muscle with a white hot claw to staunch the bleeding.

All four of the guards eyes bulged comically and quickly let him pass unchallenged. It took only a few minutes before he had reached the second set of guards in the peristylum, a colonnaded portico that surrounded the central garden but luckily one of them recognized him and did not hinder his progress or allow the others to.

"Don't stop this human, he's the master's pet and we are under orders not to harm him. As distasteful as that is, I for one don't want to face the Master if that one has so much as a scratch on him that he didn't put there himself." The Cherrymon warned his fellow guards. The other 7 Cherrymon shook their branches in what could be taken as a nod of assent.

"Eight Cherrymon? Good grief that's a bit overkill but whatever pleases him. Still, his garden is as beautiful as ever, and just as deadly as he is. I'm glad I brought this offering for his garden. I'm sure he will like the bleeding heart and the death camas plants I have for him. This is the only thing he likes from the real world, our deadly plants and me of course." Anton thought to himself as he continued his long walk to his master.

Ten minutes later he was at the door to the throne room. And on either side of him were two nasty looking DexDoruGreymon. A DemiDevimon came forward to Anton looking extremely disgruntled.

"I don't know how you got this far human but it will be your last mistake...wait a minute. You look familiar for some reason. What do you want and who are you?" DemiDevimon demanded cruelly.

"Nice to see you too Faerthan. You're as welcoming as ever. Still playing errand boy I see. Now how 'bout you take your worthless piece of shit ass and announce to our master that Anton Blake is requesting an audience." Anton commanded not caring about what Faerthan had to say on the matter just as long as he did as he was told.

A few moments later Faerthan entered the throne room to announce his arrival. The throne room door was left partially open and he could hear the conversation as it played out.

"M-M-Master? I beg forgiveness for this intrusion but, Anton Blake is demanding to see you. Rather rudely I might add. And- " Began Faerthan nervously.

"What? And you have not brought him before me yet? CHAOS FLARE! I COMMANDED SHOULD HE SHOW UP HE WAS TO BE BROUGHT TO ME IMMEDIATELY! WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING! CHAOS FLARE!" The master roared, his ire obvious.

"ANTON! ENTER! Faerthan get out of my sight before I decide you are of no further use to me and take your data" Ordered the Master again.

Anton rushed into the throne room and knelt at his master's feet as Faerthan flew out so quickly he was nothing but a blue streak right before the doors were shut.

"I am surprised to see you here, however I assume you are here you impart some good news? One other thing, remind me again why I keep that worthless failure of a mon around. You may answer my questions." The Master spoke nonchalantly.

Anton smiled as he spoke and in his pocket he held in his hand a digivice. His digivice. He stroked the device affectionately then answered. Anton knew they were alone in the throne room as such he was allowed liberties that when in public he would have been severely punished for. Anton raised his gaze to his master's sinister blue eyes.

"Faerthan is your comic relief, not to mention he has shown to be useful sometimes his evil whispers attack has gotten you quite a few followers. Except me, I wanted you all of my own accord. You are the only Digimon worthy of me and my black heart, my beloved Master Xerxes. You are a Daemon and I only hope I can continue to be worthy of you." Anton said affectionately as he bowed loyally to his master in worship.

"Ahh yes, that is true. As far as your worthiness yes, you have proven worthy thus far.>Xerxes smiled at Anton.< Now why have you returned to me Anton?" Xerxes related amused.

"I regret to inform my master that my actions have been discovered, despite the great lengths I went through to hide them. Exactly to what extent is unknown to me. I believe they have figured out my connection to the deaths of the firewall teams. 3 digimon and 2 humans escaped. Also According to reports that traitor Kithira was somehow able to get another partner. In an odd twist of fate, her new partner is the younger brother of Daryl Thackry, who died by my own hand, unfortunately his adopted viximon escaped and was reported killed, her data absorbed by the greymon that was dispatched to destroy the village he was living in, at least that's what was reported to me. They also found out my handy work with the firewall and have probably scrambled the pass codes at least twice if not more. It was not a total loss though my master. I was able to get 2000 digimon loyal to you alone into the real world, And about that same amount or more in 50 countries around the world. But as to how they are faring with their tasks is now unknown to me. I do know this as a fact however, Hypnos only knows of 10 out of all that you sent. One of those ten got cocky and stupid as a result were destroyed by Kithira and a silver renomon that is unknown to me. As far as reports indicate her new partner is no longer with her, only the silver renomon. But as far as I'm concerned I feel that somehow her partner is perhaps a hybrid like myself and able to digivolve where as I can't. No matter how hard I try I just can't." Anton reported and said the latter with bitter jealousy.

"Why do I have the feeling that there is more that you have yet to tell me." Xerxes said raising an eyebrow, obviously not happy. You have done what you could Anton, considering the deplorable conditions of having to work with those wretched humans instead of bathing in their blood like I knew you wanted to. However there is more isn't there?" Xerxes said simply.

Anton was fearing this part. And he knew telling his master that he was of no further use was signing his death warrant.

"Master I-" Stuttered Anton fearfully.

"SPIT IT OUT ANTON! You're wearing my patience very thin!" Xerxes warned. A foreboding and deadly impatience was clear in his tone that filled Anton with dread.

Anton steeled himself and took a deep breath, then began.

"Yes, Master. As a result of my actions being uncovered I now have a warrant for my arrest. I can't go back to the real world without a severe risk of being captured and incarcerated. If that happened I would no longer be of any use to you at all. I wouldn't even be able to contact you period. At least with me here I could still give you information that won't be convoluted by whatever overly zealous digimon that try to twist my messages to you to make it appear as I'm failing horrifically or make it look as if I'm sending the wrong information intentionally. I hate this. I wish I could shed my human half and be only Digimon. I'm hated no matter where I go. Ahh to hell with it. I don't give a shit if the others like me or not as long as I can be with you nothing else matters." Anton finished as a myriad of emotions flitted across his handsome features with each sentence.

Xerxes was unnervingly quiet as he stared at Anton. Minutes pass and the terrifying silence continued, Xerxes face was unreadable and fearfully stern. When Xerxes finally did speak Anton nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Very well Anton. It is true that the messengers have been corrupting your messages to me. But for some reason I sensed they were lying and destroyed them for their treachery. Now I'm glad I did my pet. Come to me. You may approach. You will be punished of course for your failure, but because you were able to get a good portion of my hoard into the real world your punishment will be to a degree a lesser punishment, nothing fatal I assure you. You are still useful to me, but now only as a mating toy. Come here. Satisfy my lust and I may yet again be moved to show you mercy. I doubt it, but we will just have to see, won't we?" Xerxes said silkily yet serious.

Anton nodded as he approached, shaking both in fear, and marked arousal. His shaft became diamond hard with anticipation as he stripped off all his clothes with exception of his underwear, and approached Xerxes then knelt at his foot paws. Xerxes smiled at the blind obedience of his pet. Knowing full well the lashing he was going to give Anton for his failure and he had decided at that moment that he would not be satisfied this time until he had fully raped his pet.

"Good thing for me I never promised I wouldn't steal his virginity. Only that I would never ask for it. I think it's about time that lil' pet of mine used that cunt between his legs instead of pretending it doesn't exist." Thought Xerxes to himself.

Anton then lovingly kissed his master's sharply clawed foot paw and trailed his kisses up Xerxes leg not knowing of his master's plans. Anton lifting His master's robe as he went eventually climbing in. Anton was at Xerxes's inner thigh when the Daemon's robe fell and covered him completely. Xerxes own arousal soon became obvious from the attention of his pet. Anton was lovingly licking his masters inner thigh slowly going to his masters very erect cock. Anton smiled as he heard his master moan in pleasure and wrapped him arms and legs around the massive shaft and began to bounce as best he could jacking Xerxes off with his body and his tongue licking the whole time, up and down Xerxes hard cock.

"Anton I have decided your punishment. Come out from under my robes." Xerxes ordered firmly. After only a breath of hesitation Anton complied and knelt obediently at his Masters feet.

At that moment Xerxes picked Anton up and place him on a cross shackling him down in a position that forced Anton to keep is ass stuck out in the air ready to be mounted. True fear gripped Anton's heart but so did extreme arousal. Why this was, he didn't know, but his Anton's arousal wasn't lost on Xerxes. With a slash of his claws the underwear was ripped away exposing Anton's dripping wet virgin cunny and his now painfully throbbing 10in erection. Before Anton could speak a blindfold was placed tightly over his eyes and he felt what he knew to be his master's cock rubbing firmly against his own. His own fuck shaft sliding inside Xerxes's huge piss-hole of his massive cock and hearing Xerxes moaning and begin to cock fuck Anton's shaft like they had done so many times before.

"Yes, Master fuck me, oh my love it's been too long, no no! Ooohh god!!!" Unfortunately for Anton, it had been too long since their last encounter and within a few minutes Anton was cumming hard inside Xerxes cock. An angry growl was heard coming from Xerxes and before Anton could even scream, Anton felt a Xerxes's fuck tool being shoved into his cunny his hymen ripped away and was being used brutally. Anton Screamed in agony as his virginity was stolen and was crying painful tears as he was being violated by such a massive shaft being forcibly shoved in and out of his puss.

"You will watch me violate your cunt, your ass, and anywhere else I choose Anton. You are now my breeding toy. You will bath in my cum and you will allow me to violate you anytime I wish. And Anton... I'm not asking you, I command it. "Xerxes ordered lustfully as he altered Anton's position to Anton resting on his own shoulders and was force to watch his own once virgin fuck hole being violated.

Blood was running down Anton's abdomen from his nether regions.

"Why did he have to choose this, I'm not some freak of nature! I'm male! Why is he taking me there? Oohh why is it starting to feel good...every time he rams his shaft in to me there, oh god it feels so good. But I'm male this isn't supposed to be this way" Thought Anton to himself now extremely confused but refusing to cry, but too caught up in the feelings and humiliation to worry much about that little fact now. He in this bound position could do nothing else but watch himself be violated by his master. Within 10 minutes of this Anton was quaking and shuddering

"Ooh master I'm ..I - I'm CUMMING...I can't can- can't stop ...it..AAAhhgghhhhh" Anton screamed helplessly as his cunt had began to convulse and tighten in waves as his orgasm overwhelmed him.

"Anton no!!no, ooohhh so tight, too tight!! your making me cum...oh yes!!take it my pet, take it all!! " bellowed Xerxes as he came and rammed himself deep into Anton and was surprised and very pleased to find Anton had a womb. A womb that he quickly filled with his jizz. Anton had passed out from the pain of the entry, but all the same, Xerxes knew Anton was his creature completely now...and now privately his mate. He picked Anton up after untieing him from the apparatus then took him to his sleeping quarters and began the arduous but pleasant task of licking Anton clean.

"Tomorrow my pet dawns a new day, you are my mate, as must as I detest this form of yours you are still my trainer. How you managed that..ahh I remember, your my child....and have the same black heart as I do..we are meant to be.. though I doubt I need you, digivolving will for now be easier with you around. Now sleep my pup, and forget all that I have just told you, it is best that you don't know...now spread your legs, I am far from sated daughter.. When you wake all you will know is that in bed I call you my daughter as a way to torment you and a game we play, you will never remember the reality that you ARE my pup and I plan to breed you until you conceive me a granddaughter, and I will continue to breed the females until the human is bred out then I will allow you to rest..by then I hope to have found a way to make you change...then I will truly breed you...uhhhhnnnn yes that;s a good lil' herm take it all in your cunt take all of my 14in cock let my incestuous seed fill, you impregnate you, yes, yes YES! YES! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!" he grunted loudly...

With each word spoken Xerxes thrust deep into Anton's cunny each thrust deeper and harder than the last until the last yes when he filled Anton's cunny again and Anton only able to cum...his mind was lost in the sexual ecstasy of the fact his father was raping him, his father was trying to impregnate him, his father was his master and his digimon, and something in the back of his mind clicked and he knew that he wanted this, to feel his father's cock inside himself violating him like he had done to the bitch that birthed him, he wanted to do the same to rape, maim and and breed hoards of females but only after he now much beloved father was able to remove his cursed foul human side...he would remember that Xerxes was his father no matter what he did to him.. All he wanted was to sleep and breed with his father until the inevitable happened, pregnancy. A sexy, loving, taboo, incestuous pregnancy that he now wanted as much as his Father and master... and he hoped the first born would be a herm like himself so he could breed it.. if his Master allowed it anyway...his thoughts as he drifted to his sweet safe slumber was" Anton you have finally lost it...good...the farther away from my humanity I am, the better. Oohhh! That feels soo good when he rams his cock into my cunt like that, I hope he keeps filling me until I look pregnant and continues to yiff me as I sleep... that would be so hot, ooohh he is shoving his cunt-juice lubed cock into my asshole oh god I'm not gonna last long, he rubbing my.. oh god..I'm cumming cummmmmmmmmingggg!!!!! * and unconsciousness took him as the last mind shattering orgasm stole him away..." Anton?...." Queried Xerxes, but laughed when he found him only unconscious.

But Xerxes continued his sexual assault of his child's female parts...giving Anton respite only when bodily functions or his own plans needed to be attended to, otherwise, Xerxes seemed to never be sated and continued his assault even after he was sure Anton had conceived. But this time was openly willing.. and this spurned Xerxes on all the more...and continued until Anton laid 5 Darkdigi-eggs...and thanks to his digimon half, he recovered quickly.

"You have pleased me Anton...you have done well for now, but what of missing Renamon and her trainer, or the other trainers? Find out what has happened pet.. I want to know where they are. Go.." commanded Xerxes.

"As you wish master. I may be way for some time master, I will return as quickly as possible." Anton replied and bowed...quickly leaving to obey.

---Meanwhile, back at the cabin---

"I don't get it Devon, it's been a month surely we would have found something or see something of our enemy...but we find nothing." Kithira vented frustrated.

"I don't know Kithira, something's up....we know this, but we can't find any evidence that suggests that we are in danger. This can be bad or good...I just don't know which. Not yet anyway." Devon replied obviously worried, looking at everyone seated at the kitchen table.

"Well Hypnos has been very quiet about what Blake did. My contacts here and there have been real tight lipped about it, their scared along with the rest of Hypnos. But the one thing they all agree on is that without doubt Blake was behind the teams being killed." Dax paused and let his words sink in before continuing. "One of them did tell me that Blake had created hundreds of access codes to by-pass the firewall. When I pressed him for more about it, he told me to drop it and hung up. Which is unlike Reggie we go way back to high school." Said Dax shaking his head.

"If that's true Hypnos has the network security personal working around the clock for the past month trying to get rid of all those codes from the mainframe and all of the backup copies in storage. At least we now know who is responsible for Daryl and the rest of the teams death, now we have someone to go after. That son of a bitch has a lot to answer for and I'm going to make sure of it when I get hold of him." Deb said her voice going almost guttural.

"Calm down love, Blake has a lot to answer for and I'm sure the rest of us here would like nothing more than to get our paws, err, hands on him. " Achilles said placing his huge paws on her shoulders from behind her.

"Well the network hasn't made mention of us in over a week, at least not that I've seen. Which can be both good and bad, good being we have hid out for a month now and dropped off the radar so to speak. And the bad could be they already know where we are at and just waiting on us to make the wrong move." Deb said nonchalantly.

"I still think Lisa and Cole going in is the wrong move, but the necessity for up to date information and not censored is a must for us right now. Hypnos controls the information flow to the networks web, cable tv, radio etc." Rayne said looking at the others.

"What's taking them so long? " Devon asked looking at Kithira.

"They've been gone only 2 hours and some odd minutes it might be awhile before they get back." Answered Dax.

"It will take however long it takes them to accomplish the mission." Kithira replied in a soft motherly tone.

"Breaking into Hypnos isn't my idea of a good time, it's like breaking into Fort Knox or just as bad. But if they can find even some of the information we need it might be worth it." Dax said somewhat nervously.

Just then Lisa and Cole appear in the corner of the dinning room, Lisa jumps out of Cole's arms and lands on the floor and turns to face him. Her face a mask of rage.

"Dammit Cole, two more seconds and I would had the lock open!" Shouted Lisa.

"And you would have been seen by the security guard coming around the corner from the north hallway, and by now would be under arrest by Hypnos security, mate." Cole said eying his mate closely.

"Well how was I to know they have upgraded the locks to finger print scanners, it has been over ten years since I was last there after all. Ahh, sorry for shouting at you. You only did the right thing and got us out of there." Lisa said wrapping her arms around Cole.

Joining the others in at the kitchen table.

"Well that was a bust, but not without some rewards for our hard work, just wished we could have gotten more than what we did. Hopefully these will give us some answers to some of our questions." Cole stated as he produced 2 mini-disk dvd's from one of his gauntlets and laid them on the table.

Dax quickly grabbed the mini-disks off the table before Deb could.

"I'll get to looking at these for anything useful, ah any idea whats on them?" Asked Dax.

"I acquired them from chief St. John's desk when he wasn't looking." Said Cole nonchalantly.

"YOU DID WHAT? Cole are you out of your mind? And you talk about me taking chances, I can't believe you did that!" Lisa exclaimed.

"It was nothing really, he wasn't looking at them at the time, he was reading a report and drinking coffee. Wish I could have grabbed a copy of that report though. Oh, and to answer your question. No I'm in my right mind." Cole said smiling.

"Balls, pure balls to sneak into the chief's office while he's in it and take something off his desk without him seeing you." Dax replied as he removed the first disk from it's case and dropped it into the dvd drive on the laptop.

"Be careful that disk is probably encrypted and has some nasty security features built into it." Lisa said with a concerned look on her face.

"With any luck the security codes for our team will be still accepted and I'll be looking at all the data on this disk in seconds." Replied Dax as his fingers danced over the keys of the laptop.

Five minutes later.

"Well that does it, I've tried every code I know and all the ones Deb has and none of them are valid anymore, ideas people?" Asked Dax.

Picking up the discarded disk case. Devon looks at the number printed on a sticky note attached to the case's cover.

"Hey, Dax, do you know the kiss principle? Asked Devon.

"Yeah, keep it simple, stupid. Why? Asked Dax.

"Well, did you ever think to look at the jewel case to see if it had the code already on it, like this pink post it note that's blaring bright neon pink with code that's written on it in a even more obnoxious color. You know, like this one." Said Devon pointing to the post it note.

Laughter fills the kitchen as Dax turns red with embarrassment.

"Boy, look at him turn red! Are we embarrassed? Asked Rayne.

"Give me that!" Exclaimed Dax snatching the jewel case from Devon's hand.

"I'd be checking my fingers to make sure I still had them if I was you Devon, by the way he grabbed that case." Achilles said jokingly.

"Boy, I think we struck a nerve or something being how he grabbed the case from my hand." Devon said as he walked into the kitchen flexing his hand.

Dax, quickly types the number off the jewel case into the security program window for access to the disk, the tension is thick in room as everyone holds their breath. The sound of an error beep from the laptop breaks the silence.

"It's not the code for this disk, sorry guys no joy, more than likely it's just the file number of the disk." Said Dax as he ejects the disk and replaces it back in the jewel case.

"Try that code on the other disk, it might have gotten put in the wrong case by the chief." Lisa replied, handing the other jewel case to Dax.

Dax shrugs his shoulders, and takes the offered case from Lisa.

"Can't hurt, maybe the chief is like me and puts disks back into the wrong case occasionally." Dax said as he opened the second jewel case.

"Bullshit!" Coughed Rayne into her hand, bringing a round of laughter from everyone in the room.

Rayne is rewarded by a scowl from Dax.

"Yeah, uh huh, keep it up, Rayne and we'll see who gets the bed tonight, alone." Replied Dax smiling.

"Oh boy, the bed all to myself for a change!" Exclaimed Rayne

"No, I was meaning you'll be sleeping on the couch in the living room." Dax said in a no nonsense voice looking at Rayne as the disk drive closed.

"Ok, you two give it a rest, enough joking around, Dax the disk please." Deb said.

Within seconds of the drive closing the a window pops up.

"Installing new 256bit encryption protocols version 7.55.99.27.... Please wait.."

"What the heck?" Exclaims Dax.

"Installing new network protocols version 5.1.995.... Please wait.."

"Installing new gateway and firewall program version 6.01.02... Please wait.."

"Installing security access level AlphaOmega...Please wait.."

"Oh shit! Thats why I can't get into that disk, Hypnos has changed everything in the security and network files. But after what happened, don't say I blame them one bit." Said Dax as the laptop rebooted.

"Correct me if I'm wrong Dax, with these new files installed you should be able to access Hypnos network and bypass all network security checks from the internet?" Achilles asked.

"True, but they may still require a password into key systems and files. Just have to wait and see which areas of the network I can access without a password or security clearance." Dax responded his eyes never leaving the laptop screen as it booted up.

"Lunch is served! Sandwiches and iced tea for everyone." Devon said as he came in carrying a tray from the kitchen and sat it down on the table.

"Actually we might be able to access the network without going through the internet, Dax's laptop does after all have a wifi card installed. Of course that is if we can get a signal out this far." Deb commented as she poured a glass of iced tea from the pitcher on the table.

"Well the cell phones and wifi does work out here, err, somewhat. Ever since that tower went down three weeks ago the service has gone down hill if you ask me." Lisa stated as she grabbed a sandwich and glass of tea.

"I just thought of something, when you log into the network will Hypnos be able to trace it to us? Or at least find our general location from the wifi signal?" Asked Cole as he joined the others eating.

"The same answer for both of your questions Cole, they might be able to get our general location from a trace to the nearest wifi tower, but that still leaves a lot of homes in the area to check out." Dax said as he typed his user name and password into the laptop.

"Besides if Hypnos was looking for us something tells me that they would have sent a containment team by now. We're probably so low on their list that we dropped off of the end of it and they just forgot about us completely." Devon replied in a joking tone.

"We could only be so lucky." Said Rayne.

"Well everyone hold your butt's, let's see if I can get on the Hypnos network." Dax said as he clicked on the Hypnos network icon on the laptops desktop with the mouse pointer.

Everyone watched as the computer tried to connect to the Hypnos network.

"Unable to connect no wireless connection available." A pop up window displayed on the screen. Everyone resumed breathing at that moment.

"Well it was worth a shot, but maybe with some luck these disks will be readable now with the new protocols installed." Dax said as he pulled out the first disk and replaced it in the drive. He watched and waited as the os found the drive had a disk in it and scanned it before bringing up a window with the view of the disks contents.

"I guess it was all we needed was to have the proper encryptions installed to view the disk. Makes since with all the other stuff they've changed at Hypnos in the past month. Now lets see what Cole has found for us." Dax said with gusto, his face alight with joy like a kid with a new toy.

Minutes pass while everyone waits for Dax's report on the disk. Everyone is so intently looking at Dax for any reaction that when the printer connected to the laptop starts printing everyone jumps, especially Achilles who had his back to the table where the printer is. Who turns to attack with one arm drawn back to deal the printer a death blow.

Laughter ensues, mostly aimed at Achilles who almost looks like he's blushing under his tawny colored fur.

"Shit! Give me some warning the next time, Dax. I almost destroyed the printer!" Achilles said before joining the others laughing.

"Hate to kill everyones good mood, but we got real problems people. By the way, being your already over there Achilles please put some more paper in the printer before it runs out." Dax said not looking up from the laptop.

Everyone stopped laughing at Dax's statement.

"What's up, Dax? Stop keeping us in the dark and tell us what you found on the disk." Lisa said concern in her voice.

"Oh, not much, just found out about where Anton Blake is, and more importantly what he is." Dax replied as he reached for a sandwich.

"Well are you going to keep it to yourself, or spill the beans to the rest of your attentive audience here?" Rayne asked.

"Let the print out finish first, I printed the most important of the files. Only twenty pages or so, some from different files, but the ones that concern us the most right now." Dax replied as he picked up a glass of tea, a worried look on his face.

Leaning back in his chair, Dax looks around the room at this group he and Rayne have become part of in the last month. His eyes wander from person to digimon in turn before getting up and collecting the print out from the printer. And then turning to the group he begins to tell what he found out.

"First, we don't have to worry about Hypnos looking for us, they got bigger fish to fry. The truth of it is they are more worried about oh, around two grand plus of digimon that Blake helped get through the gateway and firewall un-noticed until last months breach in the security. Dax let his words sink in before continuing. Second, Blake is a total psychopath, at least that's what page two says from the Hypnos doctor that debriefed him after Blake's first team was killed in the digital world some fifteen years ago. And then there's Blake's last medical scan which really is going to be a fun read, going to need a psychological and a medical dictionary to understand both them reports fully. It's all here in the print out, take turns reading it." Dax said with sorrow tinged with anger, as he placed the printout on the table, then walked out of the room.

"Something's bothering him, I better go to him." Said Rayne as the sound of the front door closing reached them, her turning and chasing after him.

Kithira grabs the printout before anyone else has a chance and hands it to Devon.

"Devon would you please read it for all of us? Just leave out all the un-important stuff, and what Dax already told us." Kithira said as she placed an arm around Devon's waist.

Scanning the first page Devon is shocked to see a different figure than what Dax had told them minutes before.

"Shit! Dax was way off on that number of wild digimon that Blake brought here, if I'm reading this correctly there could be as much as twenty thousand wild digimon here." Devon exclaimed as he turned to page two.

"Surely you read that wrong, Devon. Turn back to page one and recheck the figures." Said Cole an unbelieving tone in his voice.

"Sorry dad but I don't make mistakes like eighteen grand, I got straight A's in math class." Devon replied not looking up from the page.

Cole looked at Lisa for confirmation and received a nod from her.

"According to this, Anton Blake suffers from acute antisocial personality disorder, that can be manifested in aggressive, perverted, criminal or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse. In short one very sick puppy, no wonder he was kicked out of Hypnos when he got back." Devon said as he turned the page.

"Well at least now we know what type of psycho he is, that gives us an advantage when and if we ever can get our hands on him." Deb said in a cold flat voice from her chair at the table.

"Devon, please continue reading." Cole said, as Devon turned another page, then two.

"Give me a second, just getting past the rest of the psychological report. Anyone interested in his mission debriefing?" Ask Devon, looking up from the report at everyone.

"I think we can all leave that one alone for now, besides it's probably put together from months of notes and half of it was what the interviewer thought Blake meant. Heck he was a mess when they found him almost six months after his team disappeared. Go on to the next section, Devon." Lisa said.

"Here we go, lets see what this is." Devon said as he began reading the page and the next four pages after that. Minutes pass before he speaks.

"That son of a bitch! Now I have a reason to go after him, Kit with all due respect to you and the memory of my brother, Anton Blake is mine." Devon shaking with rage tosses the print out on the table in front of Deb. "Fill everyone else in I'm going upstairs to pack my gear!" Devon said heading for the stairs.

Everyone is stunned by Devon's outburst and abrupt walking out of the room before anyone had a chance to speak.

Deb looks down at the report and reads the page out loud to everyone.

"There is proof positive that Anton Blake ordered the killings of the undercover units (both human and digimon) in the digital world and this one. Notably one person and the only person he had a direct hand in was Thackry, Daryl agent #15-2059 over a month ago. We know after finally getting access to the logs that Anton Blake was in the digital world the very day agent #15-2059 was killed. The body of agent #15-2059 was later recovered by Hypnos personal after being lead there by Anton Blake's journal which was recovered from his computer in his office. After being brought back to Hypnos command an autopsy was performed on agent Thackry. Agent Thackry was found with a child viximon that would not leave him. The team that recovered agent Thackry's body was forced to bring the child viximon back with them because the child referred to agent Thackry as daddy, and the team leader feared that said viximon was a hybrid. A DNA test was done on the child and the results showed it to be fully digimon. Also the DNA showed that the child is agent Thackry's digimon partner Kithira's child. The child viximon is currently in quarantine at unit #2 containment and control in Denver Co."

The silence is broken by Kithira.

"My child is alive and in this world, where is the unit #2 so I can get her out?" Demanded Kithira, looking at Deb.

"Hold it Kithira, you're not going anywhere yet. Besides I'm not about let Hypnos take another of my family away. Cole go find Dax and Rayne and get them back in here, Kit get Devon back down here we have some planning to do before anyone goes running off half cocked." Lisa said in a commanding tone.

Cole nods to Lisa and heads for the front door after Dax and Rayne. Kithira is stunned by Lisa's commanding tone that she nods and heads upstairs after Devon.

Meanwhile outside Rayne finds Dax sitting on the tail gate of the truck, setting down next to him she wraps an arm around him. Minutes pass before ether of them speaks.

"I never thought when Daryl and I was in training together that one of us would die doing our job. We were best trained agents in the field and had countless hours experience. But now it's official, we know he's dead and know who's responsible for his death." Dax said trying not to cry as he spoke.

"You and Daryl where like brothers before being partnered with me or Kithira. It is hard to lose some that close to you and not feel like you do, But you're not the only one to lose him Dax." Rayne pauses a few seconds before going on. "If it hadn't been for Daryl nether of us would be here right now, none of us would be, you know it as well as everyone else on the team. I miss him to." Rayne said hugging Dax a little tighter.

"It's nice to know that Daryl had such good friends that cared very much about him, my son did well I see. Lisa asked me to find you two and requests that you come back in the house." Cole said.

Dax nods.

"Give me a few minutes to collect myself and we'll be in." Dax said.

"Why? Is your data loosing cohesion?" Said Cole looking closely around where Dax is setting.

Rayne giggles at Cole's question.

Dax Looks up at Cole.

"No, I need a few minutes to get my thoughts and emotions under control, last thing we need right now is for me to lose control and Rayne warp digivolve in the kitchen." Dax answered.

"Ok, I let them know that it will be a few minutes." Cole said as he faded out of existence.

Meanwhile inside and upstairs in Devon and Kithira's bedroom.

"Mate, what are you planning to do?" Kit asks as she walks into the room.

"I'm going to the digital world to find this Blake, and when I do, I'm going to scatter his data to the winds for what he has done to Daryl and all the others he killed. That's what I'm going to do, now you can come with me and extract revenge on him for his crimes or stay here. It's your choice." Devon said in a very aggressive tone.

"Mate, I understand your feelings about this Blake, I want to hunt him down also. But right now is not the time, my daughter, your daughter now is in this world and being held by Hypnos! And I can't go in alone to rescue her, I need your help and anyone else that will come along." Kit said, anger and fear coloring her voice.

Devon stood there shocked but recovered quickly.

"Your daughter is here, but how? I thought she died when Daryl did." Devon asked.

"If you would have read the rest of the report instead of letting your anger with Blake overwhelm you, you would know. Mother has a plan she wants all of us down at the kitchen table. So put that pack down and lets see what she has to say before, as she put it "going off half-cocked?" Kithira replied holding out a glove covered paw to her mate.

"Ok, but after we get your daughter back and she's someplace safe, we go after Blake." Devon replied as he put the pack down on the bed.

"Agreed, now lets see what Mother is planning, shall we?" Kit asked as she backed out of the doorway into the hall.

Devon nods his head and follows her back downstairs.

Hypnos Command Complex, Colorado Springs, U.S.A.

"Stevens in my office now!" Chief St. John shouted from the doorway on the upper level of the command center.

"Oh great, what did we do now to piss off the chief? Stevens asked his digimon partner Alex as he stood up from his desk.

"I don't know, hopefully it's an assignment, anything other than sitting here all day." Replied Alex as he flew up to Stevens shoulder from the desk.

Heads turn and watch as agent Stevens with his patamon on his shoulder head upstairs to the chief's office.

In the chiefs office.

"You wanted to see us, chief?" Said Stevens as he walked in and closed the door.

"Yesterday was the last day of your administrative desk duty, your new assignment is to go to unit #2 in Denver and see if you can get anything out of that viximon that was brought back with agent Thackry's remains 2 weeks ago. Here's the case file, read it and see if you can come up with anything new, something that agent Barnes missed. By the way, Stevens your better as a field agent than a desk jockey and I'm noting that in your file. The next time you violate Standard Operating Procedures you'll be given unpaid leave by me, don't make me do that. Now get up to unit #2 and question that viximon." St. John said closing the file on his desk.

"Got it chief, on our way now, is there anything else sir?" Stevens asked as he took the offered file.

"You haven't left yet? Get going before I have you cleaning the restrooms at the museum. And close the door on your way out." St. John said looking up from another file.

Closing the office door Stevens looks at Alex.

"Asking questions to a viximon is better than cleaning the restrooms any day in my book." Stevens said as he walked down the hallway to the garage to get his car.

"Heck, I can't get you to clean out the stuff in the refrigerator at home much less the bathroom." Alex said jokingly.

"Remind me when we get home to do that." Stevens replied.

"I do everyday and you keep putting it off. I'm telling you that take out bowl of chili from last month was moving this morning at breakfast, better get rid of it before it tries to eat us the next time one of us open the refrigerator." Alex said matter of factually.

"Ok, point made. Now lets get to unit #2 and talk with that viximon." Stevens said as they walked into the garage.

Meanwhile back at the cabin as everyone gathered around the table.

"Ok, everyone here's the deal. We now know who is responsible for the death's of our family and friends and who knows how many others. We also know that Anton Blake is in the digital world, otherwise the police J.A.S.F., or Hypnos would have found him by now. But first and foremost I think we need to concentrate on finding a way to get my granddaughter out of unit #2. Then we tackle the problem of bringing Anton Blake to justice. Idea's anyone?" Lisa asked looking at the each of them in turn.

"Well it won't be easy getting into unit #2 I can tell you that. Unit #2 is "C&C" containment & control unit, basically a super max prison for digimon. I was there once, that place has state of the art security and guards out the yin yang. But also it has it's own gateway and firewall on site for deporting digimon back to the digital world, which could be our escape route. " Said Dax.

"Or even better yet, could we use their gateway on site as a way in?" Devon asked.

"That's a good idea, but first we would have to get to the digital world to do it. Which if I may remind everyone that's not possible with all the public gateways in lock down. Then we would need the access codes to their gateway and firewall to return here from the digital world also. Which we don't have the last time I checked." Deb said.

"Deb, what was your clearance level the last time you used it?" Dax asked.

"Same as yours, Alphabeta." Deb replied.

"And yours Lisa?" Asked Dax.

"AlphaCappa, why?" Responded Lisa.

"Aw, and what level of clearance would you say (AlphaOmega) is?" Dax asked looking at Lisa.

"That's easy, unless they've changed it. Even when Cole and I where still at Hypnos that level was for the chief commanding officer of a base and the only one higher than that is the president." Lisa replied.

"Was anyone paying attention when the security program was upgrading my laptop?" Asked Dax.

"No, I wasn't, when you've seen one upgrade you've seen them all is the way I look at it." Deb replied.

"Well I was, and a good thing I did because the security clearance was upgraded along with all the new protocols that was installed. And if I miss my guess that means that we have AlphaOmega clearance now, and if so I suggest we use it before they find out that these disks are missing from chief St. John's office." Said Dax.

"If that's the case then we have our way in. So whats next?" Asked Lisa.

"First lets see if we can upgrade at least one of the D-arc's with the new security and network protocols, then will work from there as needed." Dax replied.

"I can help there, I programed many of the systems Hypnos uses, including D-arc's and D-advanced series digivice's before they scraped the development project." Lisa said.

"I read about that project in the training academy, was there a problem with the hardware or software?" Asked Deb.

"Neither really, the order just came down one day and the project was shut down. Personally I always thought some bean counter didn't like how much it was costing over the D-arc series and pulled the plug. That was the one draw back to the D-advanced series, was cost. For every one of the D-advanced made four D-arc's could be made." Lisa answered Deb.

Pulling out his D-arc Dax connects it to the laptop by way of the mini-usb cable.

"Well lets see if this works." Said Dax as the control program pulled the D-arc's firmware, security, and access codes and began updating to the latest versions.

"So what was the biggest cost in the D-advance series?" Asked Dax.

"Oh, thats an easy question to answer. The D-advanced series uses a specialized cpu for it to work. Unlike the single core in D-arc's the D-advanced used a quad core but with less than half the power consumption over the old single core models." Lisa replied.

"That's it upgrade done. Who wants to go next?" Asked Dax removing the cord from his D-arc.

"Here do mine." Lisa said handing Dax her D-arc.

Dax takes The D-arc from Lisa and looks it over.

"This one is, what almost 20 years old?" Looking at Lisa for confirmation.

"Older actually, I was 18 when I got it." Replied Lisa.

"Your one of the original tamers then here in the states, no wonder you know so much about the D-arc's and all. Well I'll hook this thing up and see if it will accept the firmware update." Dax said as he plugged the usb cord to the D-arc.

"Oh, it'll work the insides of my D-arc are actually for the D-advanced series." Lisa said.

"You actually changed out the boards and memory chip and got it to fit in this old D-arc, smart, very smart." Dax said.

"The team thought it was a waste of money for us to build ten test models and just to destroy them when the plug was pulled on the project." Lisa said as the control program started updating the software in her D-arc.

"Ok, now we know that we can upgrade our D-arcs. We still need a plan if we are going to use them. I for one say we go digital then come back through the gateway at unit #2 and get Kit's daughter out of there and leave the same way we went in." Devon said.

"And like I said, all the public gateways to the digital world are locked down tight. No one is getting in or out at least not without clearance." Deb said.

"We have clearance now with the upgrades to the D-arc's why not use it?" Devon asked.

"Because, son, we might get to use that clearance once maybe twice before someone figures out that we should not have it. And then when we need the clearance the most it will be unauthorized and our D-arc's will be useless for travel to the digital world or back to this one." Cole replied.

"Here's the other reason the plug was pulled on the advanced series, they're untraceable to Hypnos scanners. The higher up's wanted a sense of control over any trainer's movements, not that they didn't have that already with the firewalls and gateways." Lisa added to Cole's statement.

"Uh, mom, I got a question. Do you think you can look at the programing of my D-advanced and find out why I haven't de-digivolved back to human. It's been over a month now, and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever be just human again." Devon said.

"I can if Dax doesn't mind me using his laptop." Lisa said looking over at Dax as he finished upgrading Kithira's D-advanced.

"No I don't mind at all, here have at it." Dax said getting up from the chair.

"Kithira, give me Devon's D-advanced." Lisa said holding out her hand to Kithira.

Pulling out the blue D-advanced Kithira hands it over to Lisa, and watches as she plugs in the usb cable. Seconds later the control program comes up and Lisa begins looking at the coding from the D-advanced. An hour goes by before Lisa looks up from the laptop and un-plugs the usb cord and hands it back to Kithira, and Kithira hits the scanner button to make sure it works.

"The truth is I can't find anything wrong in the code Devon. I don't know why you haven't changed back to human." Lisa said looking at her son.

"I think I might have already figured it out." Kithira said.

"Well don't keep us in the dark, tell us." Deb replied.

"The first time I scanned Devon with the D-advanced he showed as a rookie, and that was before he digivolved for the first time. Just now I scanned Devon again and it shows him to be a champion level digimon. Could have Devon's human form be his rookie form?" Kithira asked.

"I don't see why not, he is after all a hybrid. But even digimon revert back to their lower levels occasionally." Achilles said.

"Well after most digimon reach a certain power level and age we never revert back to our lower levels unless we spend a great portion of our power in a fight." Cole said.

"Lets get back to this plan for getting Kithira's daughter out of unit #2." Rayne said.

"I still think the best plan yet is for us to go down to Denver and stake out unit #2 and see what we are up against before we go rushing in and get caught with our pants down around our ankles." Deb replied.

"It's better than going in blind and having to fight our way out." Replied Achilles as he looked at everyone seated at the table.

"Why not just bash the door down and search the place until we find her." Devon said rather brutally.

"Why! I'll tell you why. Listen and listen well, combat weather it's trainer or digimon is brutal, it's not like the battle dome games where no one ever dies. This is for real, people and digimon alike get hurt or even die. I know I've lost many a good friend over the past ten years in both worlds, and one of them was your brother." Said Dax as he got up from the table and walked out of the room.

"Because my son, sometimes the best battle plans are not fought on the fields or mountains but in your own mind before the battle. Your battle right now is with your anger and rage towards Anton Blake for what he has done, don't let the anger and rage control you. If you do let it control you then you have already lost the battle before it's even started." Cole said from the seat next to Devon.

"This is true mate, I don't let my anger and rage control me in battle, but I control it and harness it to my will and use it for better purpose's like that extra burst of speed just before the hit in a battle." Kithira replied.

"All very true, as a leomon I thrive on the battle, especially when it's an honorable one. But like your father and your mate, Dax, Rayne, Deb, even your mother knows this. Don't let your emotions control your actions in battle." Said Achilles

"Everyone here acts like we are at war or something, I just want to help my mate get her daughter back before they do something to her. And this sitting here talking about it is not getting anything done but waste time that we may or may not have a lot of." Devon replied.

"Well I'll split the difference with you Devon, lets go stake out unit #2 first and see if we can learn anything. And if after a couple of days if we haven't been able to get any information then we play gang busters and kick the door in and stomp a mud hole in anyone that stands in our way until we find her." Deb replied.

"Sounds like a plain to me, and while we are staked out we can be collecting information on guard changes trash pickup, etc. Who knows, in a city Dax might be able to get into the Hypnos network and find out something that way." Lisa said.

"Rayne, please go and tell Dax what the plain is, the rest of us lets get to packing for the trip to Denver." Deb replied as she got up from the table.

"Oh and people pack light, the camper isn't exactly roomy inside." Devon said as he got up from the table.

Meanwhile in Denver C&C unit #2 two hours later.

"I hate coming here, this place always reminds me of the prison my father died in years ago. But heck it's part of the job." Agent Stevens said as he parked his car in the parking garage.

"You never said your father was in prison. Did he do something bad?" Asked Alex.

"Yeah, you could say that about him, he started doing drugs and the police caught him to many times and he went prison. But that was years after he left mom and me one day for work and never came back. Later I learned that mom kicked him out because he was doing drugs at home. But enough of that for now, come on Alex lets go check in and see this renamon." Said Stevens as he got out of the car and held his hands out to his partner, which Alex jumped into his hands effortlessly.

At the gate.

"Agent Stevens and my partner Alex to see prisoner 65-4323-112." Said Stevens as he pulled out his id and showed it to the guard.

The guard looks at Agent Stevens Id. And then consults his computer screen.

"Go on to visitation, I'll have the prisoner 65-4323-112 brought there, and if there is any problems the prisoner is located on wing 4 cell 324." The guard replied as he opened the gate allowing agent Stevens to enter.

A half an hour later the prisoner is brought into the room in a small cage, almost too small for the viximon and sat down on the table in front of agent Stevens and Alex.

"Guard you can leave, this viximon poses no threat to me what so ever." Stevens said, waiting for the guard to leave before talking again.

"Hey, are you deaf? My partner said you could leave." Alex said to the guard.

"With all due respect sir, my orders are that no one is to be left alone with the prisoner, sir." Said the guard and didn't budge an inch toward the door.

"I'm agent Stevens, Hypnos C&C. I don't care what your orders are step out of the room now or I'll have you removed from duty for impeding an official investigation into another agents death." Stevens said with the "I won't take no as an answer tone."

"Very well my commander will be down shortly." The guard replied as he stepped out of the room.

"I'll be waiting." Stevens said as the door closed.

"Listen, I know you don't like being in that cage any more than I would. But if I'm going to be able to help you, I need to know where your dam Kithira is. Can you help me find her?" Stevens asked.

Minutes pass without a word from the viximon.

"Alex, give it a try see if you can find out anything before the guard comes back." Stevens said.

Alex switches to his native language and begins speaking with the viximon. Minutes later the conversation is finished as the guard returns with his commanding officer.

"Ah, agent Stevens so nice to see you again. Now what's this I hear about you commanding my guard to leave the room while you're interrogating a prisoner?" The commander asked.

"Commander Bridges, I thought they reassigned you to unit #4 in England last month, was I wrong?" Stevens asked.

"No, I was reassigned, just finishing my last week here. Now answer my question, or you'll get escorted out of here along with that orange puff ball of yours." Demanded Bridges.

"Yes, I told him to leave. And you know the rules, as long as there are two agents in the room no guard is needed to stay in the room with the prisoner." Stevens said in a neutral tone.

"That viximon is directly responsible for an agents death in the digital world. I'm not taking any chances one of my guards being hurt or killed by it." Bridges said.

"Listen commander Bridges, that's where you are wrong. Or haven't you read the report yet on the agents cause of death yet?" Stevens asked.

"The report hasn't been released yet, and as commander here I know all I need to know in regards to this prisoner. How would you know what the report says?" Bridges asked.

"Because, I'm holding it right here in my hand, which Chief St. John gave me this morning personally before I left Hypnos command. So apparently you're not on the need to know list like myself, and as of today I'm the lead agent in charge of the investigation. Now with all due respect get out of my interrogation room both of you, before I have you both busted down to janitor!" Stevens said almost shouting the last of it.

The guard looks at his commander for an answer one way or the other.

"Very well Agent Stevens, I'll leave the room with my guard, but know this I will be submitting a report on your behavior before I leave for England at the end of the week." Bridges said as he turned to leave the room with the guard.

"Oh, and one more thing have a larger cage brought at once. This viximon may be a prisoner but it's not right to be confined in such a small cage to where it can't even lay down to sleep. And that will be in my report before the end of the day." Agent Stevens replied as the door closed.

"Now that we are rid of them for the moment, what did the viximon tell you?" Agent Stevens asked his partner.

"The last time she saw her dam was over two weeks ago the morning the village was attacked by a large number of greymon along with a human and Daemon that was commanding the slaughter of all the village inhabitants. The human with the Daemon partner according to Katy was the one that killed her daddy, which can be safely assumed to be Daryl Thackry being where she was found guarding his body." Alex said.

Agent Stevens pulls out his cell phone and dials Hypnos Command (the Chief's private number) it rings twice and is answered.

"Stevens how the hell did you get my private number?" He demanded.

"I'll explain that later, right now I need authorization to bring the viximon to command central as the only witness to agent Thackry's death." Agent Stevens said.

"And how did you come to that conclusion?" The chief asked.

"She told Alex and he told me." Agent Stevens said.

"Alright can she identify who it was if we show her a picture?" Asked Chief St. John.

"There's something else sir, the human that killed agent Thackry had a Daemon for a partner. Besides that clueless paranoid control freak Bridges has this viximon in a cage way too small for her to even to lay down to sleep much less eat. Furthermore I believe if we leave this viximon here we won't have a witness at all because she will be dead by the end of the week. And sir, Katy the viximon has identified Kithira as her mother, the last thing we need is for Kithira to go rogue on us. And it's bad enough she thinks we're the ones after her after what happened in Spokane last month." Agent Stevens answered.

"And how would you know that it was Kithira in Spokane last month?" Asked Chief St. John.

"Simple, she would have known that he was dead and would have gone to his family to tell them the bad news." Agent Stevens replied.

"Ok, I'm sending the authorization to your pda, get the viximon out and get back here asap." Chief St. John said and hung up the phone.

Less than two minutes later his pda beeps informing him that a message was just received. Checking his pda, agent Stevens hits the print button and watches as the small card sized plastic sheet is ejected from the end. Walking over to the intercom he pressed the button for the guard to come to the door.

"Can I help you Sir?" Asked the guard.

"Yes, I need a larger cage for this viximon and prepared for transport immediately, here's the print out of the authorization code for release into my custody." Agent Stevens said holding up the authorization for the guard to see.

"I'll have a new cage brought in, but I need to verify that code before I can release it to you." the guard said.

Five minutes later a new cage is brought in and then with Alex's help the Katy happily moves into the larger cage. Two minutes later Katy's cage is placed on a cart for transport to the garage and Agent Stevens waiting car. And as Agent Stevens pulls his car onto the road heading south to Hypnos command.

Katy looks at the world passing by. "Katy go bye bye whee."

Chapter 8

Meanwhile at Hypnos Command Center, Colorado Springs.

Chief St. John sat at his desk waiting for the vid-phone to connect with it's counterpart which was sitting on a small table in the oval office of the President of the United States. Of course since the last months breech of the firewall all encryption codes had been changed and changed again, nothing was left to chance. Finally the light on the vid-phone changed from red to green and the holographic screen came to life just above the chiefs desk.

"Madam President, Sorry to disturb you from the conference, But this couldn't wait till later." Chief St. John said before she could say anything, his tone urgent.

"This better be good and not just another security brief about digimon invasion plans." The president said as she took a drink of coffee looking at him to continue.

"Unfortunately that's what this is about Madam President. We have a very serious problem. After review of the security logs from last months breech we have found that our original estimates were not even close to the actual number of digimon that got through." Chief St. John Said.

"So how many are we looking at? A few hundred more than your people thought?" The President asked.

"I only wish it was that low, the numbers we are looking at are not in the hundreds but in the thousands. The logs show that Blake was bringing over three hundred digimon here a month for almost the last five years without our knowing about it. We're looking at roughly twenty thousand unregistered digimon somewhere in the world." Chief St. John replied.

The President sat her cup down and looked past the camera before speaking.

"Ted cancel the rest of my speech at the conference and get the joint Chiefs here now!" She said to an aide before turning back to the camera. "Chief St. John, can Hypnos handle the capture and containment of that many digimon at once?" The President of the United States asked.

"No, we don't have the manpower nor the space to confine that many. The real problem is that we don't know where these digimon are at, or even if they are in this country." Replied chief St. John.

An aide stepped into the picture and leaned down and whispered something to the president.

"Chief St. John, the joint chiefs of staff will be here in thirty minutes, we'll continue this briefing then." The president said before turning off the vid-phone not giving him a chance to say anymore.

Dropping the report on his desk Chief St. John looked up in time to see Drake standing outside the office door just about to knock and the waves for him to come on in.

"What is it now, Drake?" Asked the Chief.

"Stevens, just returned from C&C unit #2 with a viximon and is down in room 4 showing the viximon pictures of people. Like he is hoping that viximon is going to be able to identify who killed agent Thackry last month." Said Drake.

"Good, hope she does and Drake I have you in command because you're the best at what you do with the computer systems, just like agent Stevens is out in the field with digimon. And if he tells me that a viximon saw agent Thackry's killer then I'm going to believe him. Anything else?" Replied the Chief, his voice colored by the tension he's under.

"Sorry chief, just thought you would want to know. And here's that report from the investigator from J.A.S.F. On everything they found in Blake's apartment and office." Drake said as he placed the report on the Chief's desk.

"Thanks, I'll need to read it before I brief the President and the joint chiefs in 30 minutes. And Drake, sorry didn't mean to pop off on you like that, just all the pressure getting to me. The Chief said as he picked up the report.

"Think nothing of it Chief, we all here know how it is. Everyone's been pulling 60 hour weeks since this all started last month. And as soon as it's over I'm taking some of my vacation time you might think about taking one too. Anything else Chief? Asked Drake.

Looking up at the clock on the wall.

"Yeah, go tell Stevens if he finds out anything that I'm the first to know even if he has to interrupt my conference. I'll be in the conference room." Said the Chief picking up the other reports he would need to reference.

"I'll get you a fresh pot of coffee brought to the conference room, and then tell Stevens." Replied Drake as he opened the office door and walked out followed closely by the chief.

In room number 4..

The room has a long table in it and a couple of chairs. And painted a puke green which is said to keep most digimon calm.

"Alex, please tell Kassy here that I'm going to let her out of the cage if she promises not to attack me or try to escape." Said agent Stevens as he pulled the key to the cage from his pants pocket.

"You find mommy, I find bad man that hurt daddy." Said Kassy from the cage, startling agent Stevens, but bringing a smile to his face.

"So you can talk after all, that makes things easier." Said Stevens as he unlocked the cage and let Kassy out.

"I knew she could, it was just getting her to talk that was the hard part." Said Alex as he hoped up on the table, and is joined by Kassy after the cage is opened.

"Before we start, I'm going to get some food and water brought for our guest." Said agent Stevens as he picked up the phone and ordered some from the mess hall.

Minutes later the food is brought in by a guard.

Agent Stevens takes the tray from the guard and setting it on the table, uncovers the plate looks at what the mess hall sent.

"Not exactly what I was expecting but it will do." Agent Stevens said as he placed the plate in front of Kassy.

Agent Stevens and Alex watch as Kassy dives for the food and eats with vigor. As she eats Stevens places pictures of people and digimon on the other end of the table.

A short few minutes later Kassy is stuffed and waddles over to the end of the table that Stevens has placed all the pictures on.

"Kassy, what I want you to do is to look at each of the pictures and tell me which ones you know. Think you can do that? agent Stevens asked.

Kassy nods and then starts looking at each picture. She studies each picture carefully until she sees one that she knows.

"Daddy and Mommy!" Kassy exclaims as she points to one of the pictures.

"That's it, she's identified Agent Thackry as her father and Kithira as her dam. Can you point out any others you know Kassy." Alex asked her.

Picking up the picture of agent Thackry and Kithira and holding it up to the video camera.

"The viximon called Kassy has positively identified agent Thackry as her father and Kithira as her mother for the record." Agent Stevens said.

Minutes pass as Kassy looks over the remaining pictures, slowly she pushes each away that she doesn't know. Stopping at one picture a low growl escapes from her before speaking.

"This one with the man that hurt daddy, it followed the mons orders." She says as she shoves it towards Stevens.

Again holding the picture up to the video camera.

"A daemon, virus type identified as being at the scene possible partner of agent Thackry's killer." Said Stevens and then places it with the picture of agent Thackry and Kithira.

Kassy looks through the rest of the pictures before looking up at Stevens and Alex.

"Man not here, none of these look like the one that hurt daddy." Kassy said.

Pulling a picture from his pocket Stevens sets it in front of Kassy.

"How about this one?" He asks her.

Looking at the picture Kassy starts shaking with rage and starts glowing. As she starts remembering that day in the village.

Her memory..

"They are running, explosions all around, other digimon are running trying to escape the constant onslaught of nova blasts. Daddy is holding her and speaking as he is running. The sound of the nova blasts and digimon screaming makes it hard to hear him.

"We'll find mommy and get away, and everything will be ok." Daddy's voice scarred but firm.

Suddenly she's flying through the air and lands in a heap. Looking up she sees her daddy some thirty feet away laying face down on the path. And watches as he struggles to his feet, looking all around for signs of Kassy. A shape comes out of the clouds of smoke another man with a floating digimon by his side. She starts to scream for daddy but it's too late as the floating digimon shouts "Chaos Flare" the attack hits him in the back knocking him to the ground. Daddy screams in pain as he tries to get up.

The floating digimon pushes the man forward toward daddy.

"Finish Him my pet and you'll be rewarded beyond belief."

Daddy raises his head to look at his attackers.

"Blake! You sick bastard, I should have known you were behind this!" Daryl Thackry says through gritted teeth.

"What did you except after you had me thrown out of Hypnos. A card saying I forgive you for ruining the best thing that ever happened in my life! You stood against me ten years ago now it's time to pay for what you did then." He said as he drew out a long shinny stick, and with a scream jumped onto daddy's back and began stabbing him with it. Daddy screams repeatedly as the shinny stick enters his back until he stops moving. The man stands over daddy and licks the blood off the stick.

"Well done my pet, now lets find that troublesome Reamon partner of his and I'll load her data. And then the last of these tamers and their digimon will be out of our way." Said the floating digimon.

"Yes, master, I always love to watch you destroy another digimon." Said the man as they walked away into the clouds of smoke.

Minutes pass before she moves to where her Daddy is laying, and lays down next to him.

Back in room number 4.

"Shit! She's going to digivolve." Alex says as he back flips off the table, agent Stevens backs away as the flash of white light fills the room. And as it fades a renamon is standing there.

Alarms sound as the power surge of the digivolution is picked up by the buildings internal sensors. In moments guards rush into the room weapons drawn.

"Hold it, lower your weapons and leave the room!" Agent Stevens Shouts to the guards as he places himself between the guards and Kassy.

"Sir, are you alright? Asked the guard in charge.

"I'm standing here breathing and my clothes aren't torn to shreds, so what do you think? Your interrupting my questioning of a guest of Hypnos, Now get out!" Stevens more than pissed said.

"Yeah, leave and we won't have to turn her lose on you." Alex said looking at the guards.

The lead guard hand signals the others out of the room.

"Ok, if you say so sir's. I'll be outside the door if needed." As he backs out the door and pulls it shut behind him.

Holding the picture up to the camera.

"We now have a positive match that Anton Blake was agent Thackry's killer, along with an unknown daemon that was present at the time." Agent Stevens said before turning back to face Kassy.

"I want to hurt him, like he hurt my daddy." Kassy said in that no nonsense renamon voice that didn't take no for an answer as she jumped off the table.

"I wish we could, but the truth is we don't know where he is, if we knew that he would be in a cage like you were less than a hour ago." Alex said.

"Kassy, before you going running off to try and find Blake, how about we first try to find your mother Kithira. We know she's here in this world we just don't know where." Agent Stevens replied.

"I thought we were supposed to report to the chief before we do anything else?" Alex asked.

"Yes, find my dam first." Kassy replied.

"Good point, lets report to the chief, and then we can figure out how to find Kithira afterwards." Stevens said as he headed for the phone by the door, and picked up the handset and dialed the chiefs office.

On the phone.

"Chief St. John's office." Answered Drake.

"Drake? Why are you in the chiefs office?" Asked Stevens.

"Oh, hey Stevens. Just watching the office and playing answering service for the chief again. If it's about the viximon the chief said for you to report to him in the conference room." Said Drake.

"Ok, is he talking to anyone I should be worried about offending?" Asked agent Stevens.

"Oh, naw, just the president and the joint chiefs." Said Drake as he hung up the phone laughing.

Agent Stevens looks at the phone a second before realizing that Drake hung up on him and was laughing.

"What's with the perplexed look on your face?" Asked Alex

"I can't believe that little shit Drake just hung up on me and was laughing about it." Replied Stevens as he hung the handset up.

"So now what?" Asked Alex.

"We go to the conference room and brief the chief and the president, and try not to piss anyone off, of course." Stevens said as he knocked on the door for the guard.

The guard opens the door.

"Can I help you, Sir?" The guard asked.

"Yes, escort us to the conference room. Alex, Kassy follow me." Agent Stevens said as he exited the room.

"Yes, Sir!" The guard fell in after they had exited the room.

Meanwhile in Eastern Idaho highway 90 state line.

"Ether I'm going color blind or the interior of this truck is starting to look good." Deb said as she looked at the window.

"Well I could always pull over and you can switch out with Dax and ride back in the camper for a while." Replied Devon as he changed lanes.

"And that would be a no thanks, it's way too crowded back there with our digimon and our gear." Deb said in a are you out of your mind voice.

"Then don't complain about my truck, it's not like I had much of a choice buying it. Plus the price was right down my alley." Devon said.

"Hello Montana." Lisa said as they crossed the state line into Montana.

"How long do you think it will take us to get to Denver?" Asked Devon.

"Two days maybe three if this truck lasts that long." Lisa said, smiling at her son.

"Oh, come on not you to mom. It's a lot better than what you all showed up at the cabin with if I remember right." Devon replied sticking out his tongue.

"We'll be at Billings by tonight if we can keep the pace, but before then I would suggest we swap out on drivers. Don't need one of us falling asleep behind the wheel." Deb said.

"Well I've been driving since we left before dawn, and it's five minutes to ten, someone needs to drive for a while I need to stretch my legs and talk to a tree about my bladder problem." Replied Devon as he pulled the truck over to the side of the highway and put it in park.

"I'll drive when everyone is taken care of." Lisa replied as she opened her door and hopped out, but not before Devon was already behind a tree relieving his bladder.

"I'll let everyone in the back know what's going on." Achilles said as he closed the door and headed back to the camper.

"Ah hell, now I got to go to." Deb said as she climbed out and joined Lisa behind a bush that afforded enough cover for them to have some privacy as they relieved themselves.

At the back of the camper the rest of their troupe climb out and join the others. They take time to enjoy the nice mid-morning air and walk around for a few minutes. Afterwards when the riding order is figured out they all climb back in the truck or camper and continue the trip.

Later in the day in the camper.

Kit snuggles with Devon in the small overhead bed. His arms wrapped around her from behind, his cock pressed against her tail hole. She looks over her right shoulder to see that Devon is asleep.

"Darn he would be asleep, and I have to watch Dax and Rayne in the other bed making love and I can't. This is torture to watch them, but it's so, so erotic is what Devon called it once. I wonder if I just press a little harder against him what will happen." Kithira thinks to herself, a little grin on her face.

Slowly she presses back and down against Devon's sheath covered cock and almost gasps out as the tip of his pre-lubed cock slips from the sheath and is pressed against her tail hole. The hot tip of his cock sends shudders through her body which intensify as she pushes harder against it and forces the tip to penetrate her tail hole. Slowly she presses his member until it's fully inside her knot and all. Slowly she works her muscles creating just enough movement for it to be enjoyable for her, as she continues to watch her friends make love on the other bed below her.

Below Kithira on the other bed.

"Do you think they are asleep?" Dax asked looking at Rayne.

"I don't really care if they are or not." Replied Rayne as she gets up from the bed and begins taking off her armor and under clothes.

Dax watches as Rayne strips, his own hands removing his at the same time.

Kithira watches through half closed eyes, and thinks to herself how human Rayne looks like without her armor on. And is rewarded with the sight of Rayne's shapely figure and fair skin. As she watches Rayne bends over removing the last of her clothing giving Kithira an unobstructed view of Rayne's bare tail hole and pussy with a gold ring hanging out of it with a small chain attached to it. Kit almost yips as Devon's hands tighten around her and his cock slams forward into her and then withdraws only to be forced even deeper into her.

Looking up at Rayne and past her Dax sees Devon look over Kithira's shoulder as his hands tighten on Kit's waist and force her down on his cock.

"Let them watch." Thinks Dax as Rayne slowly climbs into the bed and straddles him.

"This is been way too long in coming, Beloved." Dax said as he kisses her and his hands travel over her body.

"Oh my! I've missed you touching me like this." Rayne said as his touch ignited fires across her nerves where ever he touched her.

Carefully he licked her nips causing them to stand up and slowly draws each of them into his mouth inciting a gasp from her. He played with the rings that pierced her nips and pulled on the light gold chain attached to them that was connected to her clit piercing. She moaned as he pulled the chain, and runs her fingers through his hair, moving her hands down across his shoulders to his chest then begins kneading his chest muscles and lightly pinches his nips in response.

Their faces inch closer to each other, tongues extended until they touch and then their lips as they kiss. Their tongues entwined around each other searching and probing each other's mouth, until they are forced to pull away to catch their breath. Not missing a beat Rayne lowers her hips until his cock is at her moist entrance and with a almost violent thrust she rams herself down on his upturned cock pushing her hips down until only the base is visible and gasps as his girth stretches her sex and rips away the one thing about her that she has protected for so long, her virginity. She shudders as unknown emotions course throughout her body, her pussy seams to gush with fluid even though his cock is stretching her to the limit.

"Did you just do what I think you did?" Dax asks in almost a whisper.

Rayne slowly raises her head and looks into his eyes before answering him.

"Yes, I did. I'm yours now and only yours, for now and forever. I've only dreamed of this and what it would be like." She said shuddering yet again as she slowly lifted her hips only to lower them again.

"But why here, why now?" Dax asked as the feeling of her tight pussy caused his breath to catch in his throat.

"Because I'm no longer afraid of what the future might hold for us. Because of our friends, I watch them as happy as they are together without fear loving each other and mating for not only pleasure but for children. And I want to have your children someday soon." Rayne answered as she continued to slowly ride him.

"Rayne, I've wanted this for a long time to. But was afraid to ask you; the truth is I can't live without you, where you go I will follow." Stated Dax as he rolled her over onto her back and took control.

His hands find her breasts and start massaging them; he wraps his thumbs around the chain and ever so slowly starts pulling on it, which in turn pulls on the ring in her clit, causing her to gasp in pleasure with each thrust.

Up in the top bed.

Kithira shudders under the assault of her mates cock in her tail hole and his roving hands on her body. Devon's knot swells until the pressure is almost unbearable on her g-spot, sending waves and waves of pleasure throughout her body. The pleasure his cock in her tail hole is unreal, nothing she has experienced before compares to it, even all the mating's over the digi-years have never brought this much intense pleasure. Her vision dims as her muscles start to spasm and without any warning she can no longer contain the howl of release as her orgasm washes over her.

In the lower bed.

Dax looks down at Rayne, and realizes just how much he is in love with her. Slowly his pace increases until his hips are almost a blur. Rayne is caught in the throes of another orgasm as her body takes on a mind of its own and starts twitching as her peak is reached and pushed above and beyond what it has ever reached in the past. Sweat is pouring off of Dax as he hilts his cock inside of her, and then withdraws only to be rammed back inside her again and again. His nut sack slapping a rhythm against her butt is barely heard over their ragged gasps for breath and other exclamations.

"I Love You." She stutters out before throwing her head back as she screams out her orgasm a guttural yell of lust and pleasure.

Her pussy muscles clamp down on him and then release only to clamp down again. Unable to hold back anymore Dax releases his seed in a massive blast as he slams his cock as deep as it will go and holds himself there as his balls pump their life making load deep into Rayne's waiting pussy. Slowly as his orgasm subsides he rolls them onto their sides and wraps his arms around her; and kisses her repeatedly until she wakes up from her mind shattering orgasm.

"I love you Rayne." Dax said in a whisper, not expecting her to hear him.

A smile forms on her lips as she pulls him closer.

"That was much better than the anal we normally do. Can we do that again later?" She asks in a soft voice.

"Anytime you want, as long as it's not during a fight or in public." Dax replied as Kithira starts howling out her own orgasm above them causing both of them to look up at Kithira and Devon startled then smirk knowingly at each other. Dax wraps his arms around Rayne holding her close and gently places his head on one of her breasts. Dax then quickly falls asleep, making Rayne giggle tenderly following him in blissful slumber soon after.

Back at Hypnos Command in Colorado Springs.

Agent Stevens walks down the hallway to the conference room at a steady pace. The guard almost having to run to keep up. Alex on his shoulder and Kassy following closely behind him.

Seeing them coming everyone moved out of their way. It didn't take long to arrive at the conference room, but at the doors to the conference room the guard there holds up a hand to stop his approach to the doors.

"Out of the way guard, I'm Agent Stevens, reporting as ordered by the chief." Stevens says not stopping.

"They're expecting you, go right in." Responds the guard opening the door for the trio.

Inside the conference room, the large screens are on behind the main table. The president along with the joint chiefs are sitting in a conference room in Washington, D.C. Much like the one here at Hypnos Command.

"Sorry, I'm late, chief." Stevens says as he takes a seat at the table.

"How did the questioning go?" The chief asks before seeing the renamon standing behind Steven's chair.

"Chief St. John who is this?!" the president demanded almost coming out of her seat.

"Madam president, a moment please, Agent Stevens has brought new information which we all need to hear." The chief said and under his breath so only Stevens would hear he added. "I hope it is?"

"Agent Stevens, please tell us what you have found out." Said the president.

"Before I begin, this young renamon standing behind me is Kassy, daughter of agent Kithira and agent Thackry's step daughter. And this one on my shoulder is agent Alex my digimon partner." Agent Stevens said.

"Now that the introductions are done will you please tell us what you have found out?" one of the chiefs of staff asked.

"Over a month ago a small village in the digital world was attacked. In this village agent Thackry and his digimon partner Kithira were hiding from someone, which we have found out from the logs on his computer was Anton Blake. I have confirmation that Anton Blake did in fact kill agent Thackry by testimony of his step daughter behind me. Also I do know that agent Kithira is alive and here in the real world. I found this out during my recent assignment here at command. Which was to go over gateway and firewall logs of the days during last months security breech." Stevens paused to let them fully comprehend all that he said.

"Are you sure of these charges your bringing against Anton Blake?" one of the joint chiefs asked.

"Forgive me, but doesn't Anton Blake's own journal which was recovered from his computer at J.A.S.F. Office condemn him already? I'm just verifying the facts of the case against him." Stevens replied back.

"Anton Blake has so many charges against him a murder charge isn't going to make a difference." The president said.

"Madam President, if I may point out, in the last year anti-human sentiment has been on the rise in the digital world because of people like Anton Blake. Due to his direct actions and in-direct ones, I personally know of 5 teams that we had in the digital world that are now dead, never to be seen by their families again, which I believe he was also responsible for. Furthermore right now we have a very powerful renamon who is a Hypnos agent out in the cold that needs to be brought in, and she more than likely thinks that we sanctioned the attacks and is thinking we betrayed her as well as her Partner period and perhaps the other teams as well. That and the fact that the J.A.S.F. got overzealous and destroyed the house she was last believed to be at. Which by the way was Agent Thackry's mothers and little brother's residence forcing them to go into hiding. And we know this because Lisa Thackry's bank and credit accounts have not been used in over a month. I don't think I need to remind you who Lisa Thackry is or was not to mention what she is capable of. She was one of the Digi-destined and helped start the new Hypnos program. As well as one of, if not the first to be an Agent along with her partner Cole which by now I have no doubt has digivolved permanently to a Taomon. And unfortunately it's common thought among the populace that Hypnos controls the J.A.S.F and those imbeciles digitized her house! She or Cole will not trust us at all anytime soon! I can only hypothesize that Kithira has chosen a new partner and that would most likely be Agent Thackry's little brother Devon. I was dispatched to that house to do a meet and greet thinking that it was just another new partnership between human and Digimon. I found out from one of the rather rude J.A.S.F. Agent's that there was a very powerful rogue digimon there that the people inside the house were supposedly aiding and abetting, hence the reason they thought that digitizing the house was necessary. Which was odd because they already searched the house and found it empty when I arrived and was told as much.

To top it off we had no such report of a rogue bio-emergence at that location on file at the Spokane office period. But we do have reports of a newly partnered digimon, specifically a renamon, bio-emerging there. It was a new partnership that had formed NOT a rogue bio-emergence as J.A.S.F. had claimed. And all evidence we have concerning the matter confirms this. So now we have a very pissed off retired Agent with a very powerful Taomon and according to J.A.S.F. records and Anton Blake's journal I have confirmation that it was indeed Agent Kithira that had Bio-emerged at the residence of her deceased partner and all information points to Devon and Agent Kithira being partners now. And although we have no confirmation on this, I would bet my pension that it's a safe assumption that they ARE partners. So now because of his mother's opinions and the death of his brother, which we would be fools to assume that he is not aware of, and Kithira's lack of trust more than likely thinking as I have previously stated, we betrayed her and Agent Daryl Thackry, Devon has the Most reason NOT to trust us.

And because of all these small and supposedly insignificant circumstances none of them with any sense will trust anyone from Hypnos. So now we come to the current issue. It's no bloody wonder they went to ground. Now for the an even bigger problem as if the ones we have already weren't enough, Kithira may be the only one that has answers to some of our questions." Stevens said his tone of voice betraying his anger at being questioned by some r.e.m.f. (acronym for "Rear Echelon Mother Fucker") that didn't have a clue about what's really going on in the field.

The President and the joint chiefs were surprised by this field agents outburst but mutely considered everything he had said but none too happy about it.

"Agent Stevens! Show more respect! Your tone is unacceptable in present company." Chief St. John said looking slightly pissed.

"I take it that some of the agents that died in the digital world were friends of yours, agent Stevens?" The President asked.

"Yes, agent's Thackry and Kithira were one of my and Alex's instructors at the academy the year before we graduated." Stevens replied.

"Ah, then this is in a way personal for you?" The president asked.

"Yes and no, I want justice not only for agent Thackry but also for all the other agents that died because of Anton Blake." Stevens answered.

"Then how do you plan to bring agent Kithira in?" The President asked, seeming to move closer to the video camera on her end.

"Let me think for a moment." Stevens said.

"Well we could put out a alert to all agencies for her to be picked up and brought to Hypnos command." Suggested one of the joint chiefs.

"With all due respect! Are you an idiot? Send an armed squad after Kithira and all you'll do is piss her off to where she will not trust anyone but her partner and his immediate family period, besides she can kill an attacker quicker than a I could with a gun and two days advanced warning." Stevens said in a matter of fact tone.

"Then what would be the best way to go about this?" One of the aides asked.

"The best way is for us to get her to come in is to just ask her. And let me finish before one of you speak. Put it out on all networks, tv and radio, she'll be watching them or whoever she is with will be and tell her." Stevens said helpfully.

The President reached over and pushed a button and all sound transmitted was muted and all that could be seen was animated talking from the vid screen.

The chief reached over and covered the microphone, as he looked at Agent Stevens.

"You got balls, Stevens. Balls that clank loud and proud, I like that in an agent under my command." Said the Chief amused and removed his hand from the microphone.

A few minutes later the President reached over and pushed the mute button again and looked at Kassy.

"This is my decision and I have conferred with the Joint Chiefs in this matter. Kassy, your step-father Agent Thackry was a very remarkable citizen of this country, and has served it unto death. We all understand and do feel for your loss as do all that knew him. Chief St. John under my authority as President of the United States, see to it that Kassy Thackry is given full citizenship with all the rights thereof. Also see to it that agent Stevens plan is put into motion today." Commanded the President.

"Thank you Madam President for your kindness. I don't know what to say other than with all due respect after my mommy comes gets me I request that you keep your solders out of our way, I don't want them to get hurt because they decided to get "gun-ho" and got in the way at the wrong time. Anton Blake will die, if not by my paw than by my mothers. Please forgive my rudeness but I am very upset and I forget my manners." Said Kassy with a myriad of emotions but the last being self-admonishment.

The President smiled understandingly and nodded at Kassy. A few moments later an aid came over and whispered something seemingly urgent in her ear. She nodded abruptly and looked back at Chief St. John.

"I'm sorry something urgent has been brought to my attention and must be dealt with immediately. This meeting is over, ladies and gentleman, good day." Said the president as she got up from the table and walked out of camera range, the screen went blank shortly after.

"If you both would follow me to my office please?" asked St. John.

"Sure thing Chief." Agent Stevens replied picking up his note pad, and following the chief out of the conference room, Kassy in tow.

"Boy, did you luck out. A citizenship means they can't send you back to the digital world unless you cause a lot of problems like going rogue and willingly turn into a virus type and kill a bunch of people. But I know you won't do that oh man you're lucky." Alex said excitedly and obviously happy for Kassy but bouncing so much on his partner's shoulders that when Agent Stevens moved unexpectedly he almost did a nose dive to the floor. Good thing he has wings.

"HEY Mike! Warn a Mon when you're going move like that! I almost made a mess on the floor. Me being the mess. It's bad enough I left a yellow puddle back there. Someone in housekeeping is going to be mad at me for that, opps." Alex said as he landed back on Agent Stevens shoulder.

Kassy giggled at Alex's antics.

"Your first name is 'Mike'?" Kassy asked in a softer more relaxed voice.

"Yes it is, But around here everyone just calls me by my last name, Stevens. But if you want to call me Mike your more than welcome to. It would be kind of refreshing actually to be called by my given name for a change." Agent Stevens replied.

Moments later they are standing in Chief St. John's office as he filled out all the paper work to get Kassy her new citizenship papers.

"Well take all this paperwork down to the id office and they will handle it from there. And it may take a while for them to get it all processed. And Kassy Thackry welcome to the United States of America as one of its newest citizens. Now I have to get to work on that press release." Said Chief St. John with a smile, which caused both Agent Stevens and Alex to have to look at the Chief again to make sure they saw it.

On the way to the Id office.

"Did you see what I saw, the chief with a smile on his face. He never smiles at us, what gives?" Alex asked.

"Yeah I saw it, and Alex, he was smiling at Kassy and not us." Agent Stevens replied.

"Oh, bummer, and I thought we got on his good side for a change." Said Alex disappointed.

"Drake! In my office, now!" Bellowed the Chief form his office as they walked down the corridor to the id office.

"Poor Drake, he can never get a break, the poor guy." Alex said shaking his head.

"That's why I like working in the field." Replied Agent Stevens as they turned down another corridor.

As they were talking Kassy decided that it was a good time to take a closer look at Mike. As they walked Kassy watched everything Mike did, every step every swing of an arm the tilt of his head. His fur on his head dark brown and tied at the back like a tail. She could see his muscles flex as he moved, and noted that he was sculpted, meaning not puny but not grossly over-muscular. Just right she decided. He was 6'3 and had no face fur that she could tell.

"Like daddy he must keep it shaved off." she thought to herself and continued to observe him.

His attractive deep golden brown eyes sparkled with a witty intelligence and a gentle compassion that for some reason she liked. His body was slender and well proportioned and looked capable of great feats of strength in a time of need. A strong back, arms and thighs belied his appearance.

"He's stronger than he looks, handsome too." Kassy surmised still thinking to herself.

He was wearing black baggy cargo pants and a black tight tee showing off his upper body rather well. Combat boots and his badges connected to a zip cord clip held his badges in view. As she continued to stare as that was what she was doing now, and practically drooling. Her nether regions began to throb with a very unfamiliar feeling. She grew moist at the thought of Mike touching her stomach or hugging her and she didn't understand why.

Alex Sniffed the air at the scent of an aroused female nearby and found the sweet scent coming from Kassy, he saw were she was looking at him and her lust, arousal, and her blatant attraction we so obvious a blind man could see it, but she was so young and Alex knew she probably didn't know she was doing this, much less what was going on with her body. So he whispered in Mike's ear.

"Hey Mike, don't look now but I think Kassy has a crush on you and she is checking you out." whispered Alex.

Mike casually looked back at Kassy as he turned the corner and saw her staring at him with a lustful, hungry look for the briefest of moments as he walked around the corner. This surprised him so much that he almost walked past their destination.

"Well here we are. After you Kassy" he said holding the door open for her gallantly and blushing as she walked past. Her tail accidentally brushed against his groin as she walked past giving him an instant erection and made him look at her differently. She looked like a young mature female in this form, he could barely see the hint of her b cup almost a c cup if he were to guess, breast under her ruff and the graceful and highly arousing sway of her hips became hypnotizing. Causing him to groan with desire for her under his breath. Kassy's looks were different from any renamon he had ever seen. She was not the standard yellow but gold with black yin/yang symbols on her thighs and her gauntlets were black too. The yin/yang symbols on her gauntlets were gold and sapphire blue. Kassy's deep blue eyes stood out more because of her golden fur, reminding him of overly large sapphires set in her eye sockets for her eyes.

"She was unique that was certain and beautiful. Such a body belonged to a goddess." he thought to himself.

His shaft throbbing painfully as he realized he was staring now and blushed profusely and quickly handed over the necessary paperwork to the clerk. Ten minutes later Kassy got bored and began to get a better look at herself she noticed two large (to her) bumps where there used to be none on her chest and lifted her ruff and looked at Mike.

"Mike? What are these?" she asked naively as Mike stared at her again lust beginning to color his features, but her nose picked up her own scent.

She felt herself beginning to drip and immediately on instinct began to lick herself to clean herself up but it felt so good she didn't want to stop. Lick after lick, Kassy began to whimper especially when she licked the hard bump that had formed. She was making herself wetter so she continued to lick in an attempt to clean herself not understanding what was happening only knowing it felt good and was feeling better the more and more she licked.

Meanwhile..

Mike was watching all this with a fascinated mix of lust and embarrassment. He wasn't thinking straight. Right before he started to approach her the ID office staff decided to goto lunch. Leaving him, Alex and an obviously very horny Kassy licking herself off in front of him. This was almost too much.

"Hey, um Alex can you tell her to not do that here? I mean I don't feel comfortable enough to tell her." Said Mike in a whisper.

"Why? You got the same problem I do. Just sit back and play some pocket pool, enjoy yourself and the show. I am. Besides like normal everyone has gone to lunch it's not like anyone will know." Alex answered.

Mike thought about it and decided that Alex was right. It would be good to relieve some pressure and just play pocket pool covertly as he watched Kassy pleasure herself. Knowing full well Kithira would kill him if he touched her daughter in any way she deemed inappropriate. He reached in to his pocket and was thankful for once that he kept neglecting the mend the hole in his left pocket. He shoved his cock through the hole then he wrapped his hand around his member and began to stroke himself. He watched her intently and enjoyed how her licks to her snatch were becoming more and more frenzied, she was now openly moaning. This only spurned him on and began moaning quietly to himself.

Mike rubbing his cock faster knowing it would be pointless to make it last. He heard Alex moan suddenly and knew he had blown. When he looked he saw Alex fisting his cock and blowing his load in the trash can. Mike looked back to Kassy and found she had put her tongue inside he virgin cunny as far as she could and was going back and forth from doing that and licking her clit.

"Oh god! It's been too long! I'm going cum." he murmured quietly to himself and quickly grabbed some Kleenex and a vision just before he came of him taking Kassy's virginity and filling her with his cum flashed in his lust filled mind and he blew. Softly grunting as jet after jet of thick seed exploded into the Kleenex. His head was thrown back in erotic ecstasy and he heard Kassy begin to whimper then howl. He opens his eyes to see Kassy jetting cum from her virgin cunt, she was trembling and her face was covered. This set him off again cumming even harder now. His hips thrust involuntarily, his orgasm intensified.

"Oh god yes!" he tried to keep quiet but failed only marginally his vision going black.

Back to Kassy:

Kassy continued to lick herself and stuck her tongue inside the source of her juice. She found a barrier that hurt too much to push past it. So she put her tongue inside herself as deep as she could and rotated this and licking that hard spot. A few minutes later that feeling that had been growing exploded inside her. She couldn't breathe, her body was shaking, but she felt so good she thought she was going to die. As she was coming down she heard a male moan "Oh god yes!" she opened her eyes and saw Mike shaking the same was she just did.

"He must be having that good feeling too." Kassy thought to herself. And watched as his eyes rolled into the back of his head and passed out. She became alarmed at this and Alex had gone to sleep so he wasn't going be much help.

She looked at him carefully and was relieved to find that he had only gone to sleep. But the strong heady scent of his seed assaulted her senses. It was mind numbing she felt drawn to it as she had never smelt anything like it before. She pulled his hand out of his left pocket and found his engorged member covered in some thick gooey white stuff. And that white stuff was the source of the intoxicating smell. She tentatively reached her tongue out to taste it, but couldn't decide if she liked it or not. The tissue was dripping wet and had stuck to his hand as a result. She removed this and put it in the trash, quickly returning to Mike he still had that white stuff on him and as he had passed out she decided she had better clean him up too.

Her tongue wrapped around his member, guiding it into her mouth and with a gentle slurp he was clean. His pants were another matter. So she cleaned these too.

"He tasted really good but I'm still not sure about that white stuff." she finally decided mutely as she gave his cock another lick extended her tongue to lick all of his privates to clean him properly.

After that was done she licked his hand clean and then his face of the sweat, he smelled so good. She had the sudden urge to do what she had seen her mommy and daddy do once and put his privates into hers but she had gotten in to trouble when she was caught watching and this sudden urge frightened her. She backed away and sat on the chair across from him staring and wondering what it would be like to do what her parents had done. When she asked about it later, they had told her that it was a way to show affection to the one you're mated with and no one else. And that it was how kits and digi-eggs were made. Kassy didn't realized just how she was looking at Mike but the look in his eyes when he stirred was the same look daddy gave mommy when they were showing affection or trying to make a digi- egg. Why did he look at her like that? Did he see her as a possible mate? And why did that thought make her want to show him affection. He then was blushing as he put his now softened shaft back into his pocket and righting himself. She smiled at him.

Back to Mike:

After a few moments he woke up realizing belatedly that he had actually passed out. He found the sperm soaked tissues gone and his cock was clean, and was sticking out of his pocket slightly. Blushing profusely he righted himself. And Kassy was watching him again with a smirk. She seemed a lot more relaxed but confused. As luck would have it he was saved from any awkward conversation as the staff returned from their lunch, fifteen minutes later the paperwork was filed and she has a Hypnos agent recruit badge and a citizen ID.

Out in the corridor afterwards:

"Kassy, look I know that right now you don't have anywhere to live, well I was thinking that maybe you could stay at my place until we find your dam." Said Agent Stevens somewhat blushing.

"Damn, I sound like a high school boy asking a girl on a date." Thought Agent Stevens after he had said it.

"That's sweet Mike. But I don't want to be a bother." replied Kassy somewhat reluctant to accept his offer. In truth she was afraid to. The things he made her feel, confused and frightened her, but also thrilled her. This just made her feel even more confused.

"Think nothing of it. I owe your mom this much, I have to keep you safe. Without her vote of confidence or training I would have washed out of the training academy. So don't worry about it, I'll even order in something special. Besides I'm sure Alex would like the company,* Mike blushed* so would I for that matter." Responded Mike uncharacteristically shy all the sudden.

"You're going order in!! YAY!!! No charcoal briquettes or bologna sandwiches for dinner tonight!!I want sushi or sukiyaki!" exclaimed Alex happily.

"My cooking isn't THAT bad Alex.. and no...no Japanese, I was thinking of Pizza. But I could always order burgers if that's not good en-" Replied Mike somewhat offended but was interrupted by Alex.

"Pizza!!that's fine! That's fine, oohhh Pizza!! Pepperoni, extra extra extra extra cheese, sausage, mushrooms and pepperoni lots of pepperoni! Chocolate and cherries whipped cream, ooh foodgasm." said Alex joyously as his eyes rolled back into his head and fainted.

Mike knew this was coming and was able to catch Alex before he hit the floor and was giggling at his partner.

"Oh my! He's not dead is he?" Kassy asked concerned.

"No, he always gets this way when I order pizza, Pizza is his favorite food. I just don't order it much because he turns into a glutton and stuffs himself sick. To make matters worse he eats so much he can't walk or fly for a week." Mike answered.

"Oh ok, that makes sense, but what is pizza?" asked Kassy curiously.

Mike stared at her for a moment then smiled.

"Come on lets get you settled into my apartment shall we?" suggested Mike feeling oddly excited about the prospect of Kassy coming to live with him, even if it was only temporary.

Mike took Kassy to his car and put Alex in his auto pet bed that hung off the driver's seat. Kassy he put in the passenger seat and showed her how to buckle herself in. But in the process his hand inadvertently brushed the nip of her left breast causing her to take a sharp intake of breath and the hardening of her nips from the brief contact.

"Oh I'm sorry," Mike said blushing madly and checking to make sure her tail was out of the way and shut the door and walked around to the drivers side door silently marveling how soft her fur was and how quickly she had responded to his touch.

"Is Alex right? Does she have a crush on me? If so why me? Kithira is going kill me. I don't want to hurt her in anyway but what I am going do if she really does have a crush on me. Nah.. I'm not good enough for her. She's just a friend. She is still too young and would never have feelings like that for me." Mike thought to himself as he reached the driver side door and opened it then got in.

Meanwhile at the same moment with Kassy:

"What just happened here?! Why did his touch on that spot affect me so much, I don't understand. And he still hasn't answered my question about what these are." Kassy mumbled quietly and frustrated staring at the two lumps on her chest with disgust or more frustration than anything. Mike opened the door and got in, soon after all of them were heading down the road to Mike's apartment.

Later that evening on the outskirts of Buffalo, WY:

"There that hotel looks like our best bet, and they've got the vacancy light on." Dax said as he pulled the truck off highway I-25 just south of the city.

"Are you sure, Dax? That place is on the expensive side this time of year, it is tourist season after all." Deb asked from the back seat.

"Yeah, it is. That's why I picked this place; the rooms they probably have left are suites which we all can sleep in. Plus they offer a free breakfast which is better than some truck stop choke and puke any day. Besides some of them other slums I passed on the way here that had rooms available, it's a safe bet we would catch something from the sheets." Replied Dax, as he turned the truck into the parking lot and pulled the truck to a stop near the office.

"Eww, lice, flea's and who knows what else! No thanks, I'll trust your judgment." Cole said shuddering with the thought.

"But how are we going to afford to pay for the room?" Deb asked a worried tone in her voice.

"Now in all the time we've known each other have you ever known me to be without money?" Replied Dax as he opened the door and hoped out of the truck and walked over to the night window.

A few minutes later Dax returns to the truck and climbs in holding up two suite keys for Deb to see.

"How the hell did you swing two suites? Deb asked.

"Easy, told the clerk how many there were of us and that we only needed it for the night. Well he had these reserved for a check in at 10 a.m. But hasn't heard from the party so he let me have them at a lower rate than normal under the table. Besides they have a door connecting the two suites together. Only problem is they don't have a wet bar, but on the upside they do have a Jacuzzi in each one." Dax said smiling as he started the truck and backed it into the parking spot in front of the rooms.

"

You coned him didn't you?" Deb asked with a knowing look as he turned off the truck lights and shut off the motor.

"What does it matter? We have decent rooms for the night to sleep in and an actual jacuzzi bath to soak in. So stop your gripping at me and get the others out of the back." Said Dax as he climbed out of the truck grabbing his laptop bag from under the seat before closing the door and went to unlock the doors to the rooms.

"Oh, a Jacuzzi bath, hey love remember the last time we were able to have one of them? Asked Achilles looking at Deb.

"Boy, do I. That's when this happened." Deb replied, blushing and rubbing her belly as she slides out the door.

Cole climbs out of the truck and reaches in and picks up a sleeping Lisa, who wakes up and looks at him and smiles.

"Where we at?" Lisa asked, somewhat groggy.

"In some place called Buffalo at a hotel for the night." Said Cole as he carries her toward a open door which Dax is holding.

Devon climbs out of the camper and holds the door for Kithira and Rayne to get out before reaching in tossing out a couple of bags before closing it. He then turns toward Dax.

"Give me the keys and I'll make sure the truck is all locked up." He said as Dax walked over to pick up the bags.

"Here you go." Dax said tossing the keys to Devon and then grabbing the bags and carrying them into the room.

Minutes later Devon comes in from locking the truck.

"Nice, real nice. How much did this place cost?" Devon asked, somewhat perturbed.

"Not as much as you think. I got these rooms on a special the under the table rate." Said Dax in an almost jovial tone as he removed his laptop from it's carrying bag and started setting it up on a small table.

Devon looked perplexed at Dax and then the others looking for an answer.

"In short he made a deal with the night manager." Replied Deb as she made a beeline for the bathroom, door almost slamming closed behind her.

"I think she had to go, speaking of that." Lisa said, her voice trailing off as she made her way through the connecting door to the other suite. Almost running over Achilles in the process.

"I wouldn't go in there." Achilles said his voice trailing off.

Seconds later..

"OH MY GOD!! What Died In Here!!" Lisa shouted from the other bathroom.

All heads turn to look at Achilles.

"What? I had to go, and like each one of you don't fart, please. I did try to warn her." Achilles said with an amused look on his face.

Everyone busts into laughter, as Deb comes out of the other bathroom.

Dax just shakes his head as the laptop screen comes to life.

"What did I miss?" Asked Deb after the laughter dies down.

"Oh, nothing really important. Just Lisa running face first into one of Achilles nuclear farts in the other bathroom. Guess we should have warned her not to enter a bathroom after Achilles, ever." Said Dax as he entered his password on the laptop, chuckling.

"Hey, yours don't smell like roses ether so don't go pointing fingers. I know." Replied Deb shuddering with the memory, as Lisa walked back into the room.

"All I want to know is, what crawled up who's ass and died? Next time spray some air freshener when you use the bathroom." Lisa said holding her nose, and looking a little green.

Causing a renewed bout of laughter.

"Hey, everyone, I got access to the Hypnos network. Let's see what's going on." Dax said as he switched to the latest news page.

"Today Hypnos welcomes it's newest academy recruit and citizen of the United States by order of the President.

Kassy Thackry step daughter of Agent Thackry (deceased, see report 123-5 for details) and Daughter of Agent Kithira (missing), was sworn in earlier today at Hypnos American Command Center in Colorado Springs. (shows video clip of Kassy Thackry, receiving a Hypnos recruit badge and birth certificate).

To all Agents, If anyone has information to the whereabouts of Agent Kithira please contact Agent Mike Stevens or Kassy Thackry a id#136.99.54.418:com 5.link 12."

"What the hell is going on? Kassy, my daughter has evolved and is a Hypnos recruit." Kithira said as she watched the video of Kassy being sworn in. Devon wraps his arm around Kit's waist.

"I thought your daughter was a small child, not a renamon?" Devon asked.

"No she was a viximon the last time I saw her over a month ago. She's evolved that much is certain." Kithira replied returning Devon's hug.

"I don't know, but that's not all the news." Dax said pointing at the screen.

Another video clip.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and assorted digimon. I'm Chief St. John commander of Hypnos Command here in Colorado Spring. This press release is to be shown on all networks and aired on all radio broadcasts.

Today by the orders of our Madam President, I have been instructed to make this press release. No questions will be answered at this time, nor at the end of the release.

A little over one month ago there was a security breech on a massive scale not unlike the one almost 20 years ago when the digimon first appeared. It was during that event that Agent Thackry was as we have now learned was killed by Anton Blake who remains still at large. We now know that Agent Kithira Thackry is here in the U.S.A. and more than likely in hiding. Agent Kithira if you are watching this, please contact Agent Mike Stevens or your daughter at id#136.99.54.418:com 5.link 12.

Also Agent Kithira Thackry, the staff here at Hypnos Command are not your enemies. Never have been and never will be, we, like you, are saddened by the loss of your partner, Agent Daryl Thackry and we are shocked by his murder at the hands of Anton Blake. Hypnos still needs your services now more than ever, a new threat approaches, which I will not elaborate on at this moment. Needless to Say Agent Kithira you may have the answers we need.

And on a more personal note. Kithira, from one parent to another. Contact your daughter Kassy, she needs you as much as you need her.

To retired Agent Lisa Thackry, at this moment your house is being rebuilt at the expense of J.A.S.F. Per orders of the President. The team was operating under orders of ex-commander Anton Blake of J.A.S.F when your house was destroyed. You and your son Devon may return there by the end of the month when the repairs are complete.

That is all." Chief St. John said before stepping off the stage and ducking into a door.

Everyone stood in silence after the video clip ended, almost a minute passed before anyone said anything.

"St. John is the commander of Hypnos North American Command? I thought he retired years ago after he lost his partner." Lisa said looking at Deb for confirmation.

Kithira pulls away from Devon and sits down on the couch. Tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"Yeah, St. John has been commander for two almost three years now." replied Deb.

Devon at a loss walks over and sits down next to Kithira, and wraps an arm around her shoulders as her body starts shuddering as she begins to cry and buries her face into Devon's shoulder.

At the sound of her crying, everyone else in the room turns away from the laptop and looks at her and Devon on the couch.

Silently Lisa taps the others on the shoulder and motions for them to leave the room and let Kit and Devon have some time. Everyone quietly leaves the two alone, by relocating to the other suite, Dax taking the laptop with him and Lisa closes the door but leaves a crack to watch and listen to the couple.

"What's wrong love?" Devon asked.

"I...can't..believe..that..he's..gone..even..now..over..a..month..later..I..I..just..can't..let..go..of..of..my.. love..for..him.." Kithira said between sobs.

"I know, we both miss him very much. Even mom and dad miss him. But now mate is not the time to mourn our loss. But we can't stand back now and do nothing; our daughter needs us and her family now more than ever. Now there is a choice for us to make. Do we contact this Agent Stevens or not?" Asked Devon, licking Kits tears away.

Kithira shudders and nods, then takes a couple of deep breaths before speaking.

"If this is the Agent Michael Stevens I know from the academy, we can trust him. He's a tamer with a patamon partner that's named Alex. And if I remember right Alex had a crush on me at the time." Kithira says blushing and scratching behind an ear.

"Do you think he still has a crush on you?" Asked Devon, curiously but amused.

"I hope not, but it would be away to identify them. With two simple questions. 'Do you have a male patamon and who did your patamon have a crush on at the academy?" Kithira replied.

"Ok, we'll contact them in the morning after we leave here, now lets get some sleep. I don't know about you but that bed in the camper makes a rock look softer and ten times more comfortable." Devon said standing up and holding his paw out for Kithira.

"A decent bed sounds wonderful, lead the way mate." Kithira said taking the offered paw.

From the connecting door, Lisa watched as Devon led Kithira to one of the bedrooms, and closed the door. A silent tear ran down her cheek, which she quickly wiped away. Turning away from the door she was startled by Cole standing right behind her.

"It's unbecoming of you to listen in on their private conversation, mate." Cole said looking at his mate, his arms crossed.

"I'm just worried about them that's all." Lisa replied looking up at Cole.

"As you should be, your Devon's mother after all. But he is an adult now and must make his own choices like the rest of us." Cole said as he placed his paws on Lisa's waist.

"Hey, we're going to bed, see you all at breakfast." Lisa said looking around Cole at the others, as she backed toward the door pulling Cole with her.

"See ya." Was Dax's reply not looking up from the laptop.

"Cool, Achilles and I are going to check out the Jacuzzi before going to bed." Deb said with a wicked little smile on her face that got Achilles attention.

"Oh, yeah the Jacuzzi. I had forgot about that." Achilles said as a knowing look crossed his features.

"I hope you just don't clog it up with your mane fur like you did the last time. That was a pain to explain to the hotel manager in Dallas." Replied Rayne, as Cole and Lisa closed the connecting door between suites.

Cole got a smirk on his face as Lisa led the way to their room. Something in her scent was different. Her scent alone was arousing him and felt the breeze of cold air on the tip of his cock arousing him further making him murr. It had been so long since they last made love and he had been faithful to her all these years. He needed her now. He couldn't wait any longer. He could tell she was aroused but knew that she would let responsibility over rule her own desires, he would have to make the first move. He chuckled and he picked her up surprising her, making her laugh as he carried her in to their room. He closed the door with a swipe of his tail and laid her on the bed, kissing her with heated passion as he began removing her clothes.

"Cole? Not that I'm objecting but, what's got-" Lisa began but Cole placed the back of one of his knuckles to her lips.

"Shh my love, no words this night. Only love and passion." replied Cole lustfully, his need of her blatant in his voice as he removed her bra, then gave her a hard lick across her breast and nipple causing her to gasp.

"Cole.." Lisa said breathlessly in response to his licks and wrapped her arms around his head running her fingers through his head fur encouraging him to continue. Her body shuddering in response to his ministrations.

"It's been so long..too long..Cole is right we need this. He's been back for over a month and the thought of making love didn't seem important or there always seemed to be time for it later, I was just satisfied to be back in his arms. Oh god the things he's doing to me. Licking, sucking and nipping my nipples, licking his way down my stomach, back up my thighs-" Lisa thought to herself then moaned loudly and became unable to think when Cole rammed his long 8 inch hot tongue into her cunt.

Cole's mind was lost in lust and the wanton scent of his mate. He wanted to taste her, no needed to taste her for a reason he didn't understand and as deeply as possible. He groaned as he rammed his tongue deeply inside her, licking her cervix and all over the inner walls of her pussy by rolling his tongue. His front teeth lightly pricking and rubbing her clit as he thrust his tongue in and out of her tight as a virgin cunt. This made Cole moan in anticipation of thrusting his now fully erect shaft inside her. It would feel like he was taking her virginity all over again, she was so tight. Cole groaned audibly with need. But he held back knowing that it had been so long that he would probably fill her with his seed within the first few thrusts. He was becoming drunk on the taste of her, tangy and slightly tart. He could taste that it was growing sweeter the closer he got her to cumming.

Lisa was going out of her mind with what Cole was doing to her; she could feel herself going on a one way speeding freight train to her orgasm, feeling it building with each thrust of her mate's thick hot tongue inside her. Only now it wasn't enough she wanted, needed more.

"Cole fuck me please! I need to feel you ramming your cock inside me!" Lisa begged wantonly and without shame.

A growl of desire was heard right before Cole picked Lisa up roughly and turned her over to all fours. He mounted her quickly plunging his thick throbbing fuck pole deep into her cunt and penetrating her cervix, hilting himself inside her in the process.

"Oh damn! I was right! She feels as tight as she did the first time I took her." he thought as he growled his ardor.

After a few moments of letting her adjust, Cole began thrusting his massive cock inside her. Lisa screamed in both pain and pleasure, riding the waves of pleasure that overrode the pain. Lisa felt his knot growing and him begin to short stroke his cock inside her.

"He's going tie with me!" Lisa thought to herself needfully and she no longer could hold back this realization was so close to pushing her over the edge. She just needed a little more, and she would cum. She began moaning wantonly as his knot exploded inside her locking them together, right before she screamed.

"Oh my GOD! Yes! Cole, Tie me! Fill me! I'm going to cum!" Bellowed Lisa not caring who heard.

This was too much for Cole. He groaned as he felt his seed coming. On instinct he bit down on Lisa's shoulder drawing blood and he hilted himself spraying jet after jet of cum directly into her womb. The overpowering emotions of pure orgasmic bliss and the true love they felt for each other overwhelmed both of them. Cole suddenly began to glow brightly and with a flash of blinding light Cole lost control and digivolved. When the light died Lisa was screaming even louder her orgasm intensified tenfold. Then she looked back and beheld Cole in his true form, a Taomon. The front of his robes rested over her hips and he was still thrusting lightly into her cunny. His cock grew in width and length when he digivolved and he was no longer hilted but he was still tied within her. She felt fluid leaking down her leg and felt a burning sensation that only added to the pleasure. They both collapsed onto the bed panting hard, trying to catch their breath. Cole was shuddering hard with each jet of sperm laden nut juice he filled her with and let Lisa's shoulder go and began licking the wound he had made with remorse.

"I'm sorry Beloved, I didn't mean to cause you harm." Cole said between pants and licks to her shoulder.

"It's alright Cole, I've always wanted you to do that. Don't worry about it. We always did get a bit rough when we made love anyway, but one thing though. Next time you're going digivolve while we are making love, warn me. That wonderful cock of yours is bigger in your Taomon form than your Renomon form. I think I tore a little. I know this because I feel like I am trying to lay another digi-egg." Lisa informed Cole and giggling playfully with her last sentence.

Cole looked at her and chuckled.

"I'm just glad I still fit, well barely anyway." Said Cole both loving and matter-of-factly.

At that moment a someone knocked on the door.

"Umm...Mom?Dad? I understand it's been awhile for you guys but can you keep it down? The people 3 rooms away and everyone in between, all around us called the manager complaining about the noise." Devon said through the door.

Lisa and Cole looked at each other and blushed vehemently.

"I- I uh, I hope you apologized." Said Lisa obviously embarrassed.

"Yeah I did, but the manager said if it happens again we are out. With all due respect, now that you two are finished Kit and I are going back to bed. And by the sounds coming from the rooms around us, you two started an orgy. " Devon replied walking away.

Cole became mortified and as a result lost what was left of his knot and hard-on. Lisa was wincing slightly as Cole pulled out of her. He then cleaned her up with his tongue making Lisa hiss in pain in the process. Cole sighed regretfully as he noted two tears in her vaginal walls before her vaginal walls contracted. One wasn't bad but the other was a 2nd degree, and it was bleeding a little bit. Luckily her body's natural clamping down of her vaginal passage would stop a majority of the bleeding. It would be ok without stitches but it would have to be kept clean to prevent infection. He also knew she would be very sore for the next week or so. He picked her up and took her to the bathtub in the room and happily bathed her and himself after removing his robes. In less than 30 minutes however Lisa fell asleep in Cole's strong arms and the comforting warm water. Cole smiled and carried her out of the bath in one arm as he grabbed a towel to dry her with then a few minutes later with that task done her took her to their bed to find the comforter hosed. After removing it, he was relieved to find the sheets still usable. He put Lisa to bed and went back to the bathroom to dry himself off. Not long after exhaustion set in and he joined her. As he cuddled up to her carefully, he murred contentedly and sleep claimed him.

Earlier that same evening...

"Well here we are, apartment # 401, home sweet home." Agent Stevens said as he slid his id card in the slot on the door.

A soft clink is heard as the lock disengages before Agent Stevens turns the knob and pushes open the door. As the door opens Alex dives off of Mikes shoulder and glides to the couch in the living room.

"Yeppie! Home before the "Wheel of Fortune" comes on." Said Alex turning on the tv set.

"After you Kassy, just follow Alex." Said Agent Stevens waving his hand for here to go in, and follows her closing the door behind him.

"This is your den where you stay when not at work?" Kassy asked as she walked into the living room.

"Yes, Alex and I live here and now you do until we can find your mother." Agent Stevens said as he walked in behind her.

"Nice figure, boy can she swish that tail. What am I thinking? She's way too young for me, besides I already have a partner." Thought Mike to himself as he watched her walk into the living room, not doing anything for the erection growing in his pants.

Kassy looks around the living room as Mike had called it. Nice and clean, a shelf of books on one wall with a screen in the middle of it that had Alex's undivided attention at the moment. A large white plush couch that Alex was laying on. A couple of reclining chairs and a small coffee table in front of the couch with a few books on it. And light blue color on the walls.

"Everything had a place in the room, nice and clean." Thought Kassy to herself.

"Why don't you sit down and relax, while I get the food ordered and get something for us to drink." Said Mike from the hallway door.

"Yeah, Kassy, sit down and watch tv with me." Alex said, smiling.

"Ok, what is a tv?" Kassy asked Alex after sitting down on one of the chairs as Mike walked to the small kitchen.

"A tv is that screen on the wall with all the small people in it. Plus I can change the channel by pressing these numbers on this control box." Said Alex showing her how the control worked.

"Mommy and Daddy said there were things like this in this world." Said Kassy still a little nervous being in a new unfamiliar place.

In the Kitchen:

Mike puts on some water to boil for tea. And then quickly places the pizza order doubling the number he normally orders from five to ten. While the water is heating up for tea, he then does a quick once over the bathroom making sure everything is picked up and does the same for his and Alex's room. Then puts clean sheets on the bed in the second bedroom. His ex-room mate's room who just packed up one day without so much as 'hey I'm moving out or good bye' he just left, while Alex and Mike were at work. Seeing that there is not anything left to do, he returns to the kitchen just in time to make the tea.

Back in the living room:

"I'll be right back I have to goto the bathroom. This weeks 'Wheel of Fortune' is a re-run anyway so have fun flipping through the channels. Ooh I'm going be a while." said Alex flying off down the hallway to the bathroom.

Kassy picked up the remote and with intense curiosity began flipping through the channels. She came to stop on one channel when she got distracted by the noise she heard Mike making in the kitchen. A channel called 'Naughty Passion pay-per-view'. It was annoying having to keep pushing the 'ok' button so many times but the program title sounded interesting, 'Sex Ed 2'.

Kassy's eyes widened when she saw a young looking red Renamon siting on a bed and rubbing her breasts then the spot between her legs. A look of pleasure set on her face as she did this. So much so that Kassy mimicked did what she did and was surprised just how good it felt. Her curiosity encouraged, she began rubbing that place she licked earlier the same way the red renamon was on the screen and she gasped suddenly as a wave of good feelings hit. She continued this watching and rubbing oblivious to anything else at the moment. She learned what breasts, a cunny and masturbation was quickly by watching. As the movie progressed a human male came in and caught the red rubbing herself at a near frenzied state. The male groaned and seemed to like what she was doing. He got undressed and a large erection sprung free.

"Oh my! What, these things come in different sizes? What is he going do with that? He's going pee in his own face as strait up as it's standing." said Kassy out loud naively to herself but continued to watch.

Mike came into the living room quietly at that moment curious from hearing the sounds of sex from the tv and almost groaned out loud at the scene laid before him. Kassy with her legs spread watching a porn movie, her fingers rubbing her virgin honey pot and breasts. Looking so hot he almost forgot that she was off-limits. His own hard-on had gone down a little bit until he saw this and now it came back with a vengeance.

Kassy's ear twitched hearing Mike come in from the kitchen and smiled.

"Mike what is that? And do you get them?" Kassy asked nonchalantly and curious.

Mike blushed at this question and almost dropped the cups of tea he had made for them both. He had thought he came in quietly but apparently not.

"Umm, it's called an erection and I uh, yeah I do. Every male does. It's a normal physical response to sexual arousal." replied Mike blushing an even deeper crimson, realizing that she had no idea what she was doing to him and that was an even bigger turn-on for him.

"Oh what is he doing to her now? That looks like it's causing her pain." asked Kassy still curious.

Mike looked at the TV screen and saw the human male pushing his hard cock into the red renamon's cunny and saw a distinct splash of blood as he took her virginity before hilting himself inside her.

"He's mating with her, and it's her first time. Humans call the act sex. The first time for a female is always painful from my understanding, but look, she's starting to enjoy it now." said Mike his own arousal starting to color his tone.

Kassy looked back at the screen and the look of pain was still there, but was fading as the male began to slowly pump his 'erection' in and out of the red renamon. Soon nothing but the look of pleasure was on her face and watching this cause Kassy to moan and begin renewing her efforts to rubbing herself. She groaned again and Mike now groaned audibly bringing Kassy's attention back to him. She saw him looking at her the same way the male in the movie did at the red when he caught her masturbating. She also noticed the crotch of his pants bobbing and it was obvious that he had an erection. His hand was in his left pocket and moving. Kassy's eyes flitted back and forth to the mating couple on the tv and Mike and the looks he was giving her, his erection still covered and in his pants. It looked to her that he wanted to do to her the same thing that the male and the red were doing in the movie. It didn't take much to imagine this happening and it sent her over the edge. She clenched her jaw to keep from howling. Her cunny gushed her orgasmic fluid in an arcing stream that splashed on the couch with a soft splat.

Kassy was panting and looked back at Mike unknowingly giving him an inviting sultry look, the movie and the tea forgotten for the moment.

"Mike I can tell your masturbating, you don't have to hide it. I'd like to watch you do it, like you did with me. I don't mind." said Kassy breathlessly and succeeded in arousing him further.

"Are you sure Kassy?" Mike asked as he walked forward and sat on the couch facing her. His hand inadvertently landing in the puddle of cum she had just shot. He moaned at this, noting it was still warm.

Kassy nodded smiling giving her assent. Mike smiled in return then opened the front of his pants and pulled out his thick 10 inch cock. He used the hand that had her cum on it to rub himself with, her eyes watching him intently. The feel of her cum on his iron hard pole felt better than he thought it would and he gasped with the sudden longing and he slowly began to fist his cock. He was feeling guilty knowing this was somehow wrong but he was too aroused to think clearly at the moment.

"Ooh yes, her cum is slicking up and down my cock, it's almost like I'm fucking her. Oh god I want to so badly, just ram my meat inside her, taking her virginity, and teach her everything about sex. Taking her hymen, taking her in her ass, ohh god yes she's rubbing her cunt again, spreading her virgin lips wide, MMMmm oh sweet, I can see all the way inside to her hymen. Too much, too much, I can hold it back! I- I'm gonna cum" Mike thought to himself as he fantasized mating with Kassy and moaning loudly as his climax washed over him. He shot, and shot hard. His cum exploded out of the head of his shaft in thick gooey gobs, the first jet landed on Kassy's breasts the second on her stomach, the third and fourth on her cunt and inside the lips. He was shaking uncontrollably in climatic bliss and seeing Kassy covered in his cum made him for the first time in his life experience a multiple orgasm, he shot again and again coating her even more, her licking her lips as he shot. As Mike's erection slowly died, the last shots of his cum dribbling down his hand, he looked at Kassy through lidded eyes and watched her begin to lick up his cum from her fur with an aroused gleam in her eyes. He continued to watch as he licked herself clean swallowing his entire load, making Mike groan again and his cock began to stiffen again, just as the doorbell rang, announcing the arrival of dinner.

"Oh shit the Pizza!" exclaimed Mike as he quickly but gingerly shoved his cock back in his pants, zipping up and catching a little hair on his nut sack in the process.

"OH FUCK! That hurt..." Mike said wincing as the doorbell ringed again.

Mike answered the door with tears brimming in his eyes, he took out the cash, paid for the food and carried the pizza to the table before Alex could pounce him top get to the food. He went back and shut the door.

A series of flushes could be heard from the bathroom.

"Oh come on! Go down already!" They heard Alex exclaim frustrated.

"Damn! Oh man! Hey Mike you better get in here and bring the plunger, I plugged up the toilet again! It's gonna overflow!" Alex warned both embarrassed and worried.

"Not again! That's the second time this week! What are you eating boulders?" Mike said annoyed as he ran back to the bathroom grabbing the plunger on the way. But when he entered the bathroom he gaged.

"Damn! What the Fuck have you been eating! It wasn't anything I fed you. Uuhhggg! Air!! Need Air!!" as he went to flip on the exhaust fan only to find it not working.

"Damn Alex, you even broke the fan! Open a window! That's it no more sweets for you." Exclaimed Mike as he finally was able to get the source of the foul odor to go down the toilet.

They both returned to find Kassy had gotten out some plates and had dished up some of the pizza at the table the rest was nowhere to be seen. Glasses of soda sat at each placement. And the movie was turned off by the time they got in the living room.

"Hey PIZZA! But where's the rest of it?" Asked Alex perplexed.

"In the kitchen, now shall we sit down to eat? This smells wonderful." Answered Kassy happily.

They all smiled, sat at the table and dug in. Kassy finding the pizza irresistibly good. Her eyes gleamed both content and affectionately at Mike and he returned the look. Alex noticed them both giggling at silly things and by the time they were finished eating she had fed him a slice of pizza and he had done the same.

"How come I got the feeling I missing something?" Alex asked somewhat confused.

They both just laughed in response.

"They are smiling and blushing at each other like those goofy teenagers that think they are in lo-...uh-uh-oh.. Are they falling for each other? If they have I wonder how long it will be before Mike figures out how he feels about her. Probably never, he will have to be told like usual, and Kassy. She is so young and naïve that she won't understand what she is feeling, only that she likes him a lot. Mike needs a strong mate, I know I can't be that for him. I'm not gay or even bi for that matter. She would be good for him..as much as he would be for her. I will have to see about gently encouraging this without being obvious." thought Alex.

An hour later and the remains of their dinner was nothing but boxes and empty 2 liter soda bottles.

"Mike take me to my bed, I ate too much again. I need some pepto or some alka-seltzer something." Alex begged as he groaned in pain from overeating and indigestion.

"You did it again; I swear you do this every time I order pizza. And you wonder why I don't order it that much." Mike said shaking his head as he picked up the patamon, who normally weighs 10 pounds but now felt like he gained 30 pounds in an hour eating pizza and drinking soda.

He took Alex to their bedroom and laid him on the bed then return a few minutes later with his dose of medicine. After giving it to him he left Alex on the bed to rest and closed the door. Mike went back to Kassy to find her sleeping on the non-messy part of the couch, which wasn't a very big space. He smiled at her for a moment then sighed as he walked over to her and picked her up.

He then took her to the room he had made for her, put her in bed and tucked her in.

He went back to clean up the living room from dinner and headed to his own bed only to find his bedroom door locked.

"AH MAN!" muttered Mike slightly vexed at himself for not making sure the door wasn't locked to begin with before he closed it.

"Well hell, the couch is a mess and I'm going need a steam cleaner to clean it properly. Alex is in no condition to open the door; he can't even walk much less fly. So now what the hell am I going do. Normally I'd just get in the other bed but Kassy's using it. Oh well looks like another all-nighter. I'm going be thrashed for work tomorrow though. But hell it can't be helped." Mike thought to himself.

"No! DADDY!" yelled Kassy obviously having a nightmare.

Within a few seconds Mike was in there with her. He found her crying hard and his heart broke seeing her in this kind of pain. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her trying to comfort her and she turned and held him like he was her life line.

"Don't..don't leave..me alone p-please Mike? St-stay wi-with me." Kassy begged sobbing.

"Shhh...it's gonna be alright, I'm here, I'll help you through this. I lost my father too when I was 8 years old, it wasn't easy for me then either. So I understand what you're going through. Shhh...ok...ok..I'll stay. Don't worry, I'll be here. Try to go back to sleep." Said Mike comfortingly, but intending only to stay until she fell back to sleep.

He laid down with her in his arms rocking her gently, caressing her cheek and head fur. Seeing her so vulnerable made him want to protect her from everything that could harm her. His heart went out to her. He covered them both as a reassurance for her that he wasn't going anywhere. However Mike only meant to close his eyes for a moment, but was soon asleep with Kassy his arms cuddling closely and she gave a contented sigh as she passed into peaceful slumber where no nightmares could touch her.

Chapter 9:

The next morning 7 am.

"Good morning, everyone. I hope y'all slept as good as I did." Stated Dax as he walked out of the bedroom with Rayne right behind him.

"We slept real good once everyone stopped complaining about the noise last night." Said Deb, looking over at Lisa and Cole coming into the room followed by Devon and Kithira.

"Well now that everyone's up, why don't we head over to the office and check out that free breakfast." Dax said his stomach making enough noise to wake the dead.

"Sounds like your stomach has your mind made up already." Deb replied chuckling.

"What can I say; I'm on a see food diet. I see food and I eat it." Dax replied pulling on his boots.

"Speaking of food, that does sound like a good idea." Devon said his stomach making some noise of it's own.

"Coffee, I need coffee." Deb said in a monotone voice walking like a zombie.

"Ok, you clowns lets get something to eat first then we need to get heading to Denver." Lisa said in a joking voice as she headed for the door, Cole following her.

"Let's go." Achilles said wrapping his arm around Deb and angling her toward the door.

As they make their way across the hotel parking lot, the group draws some curious stares from the other hotel residents.

Inside the hotels dinning room, some of the hotel residents make space for the motley band of humans and digimon. Breakfast is a simple choice of coffee or juice, eggs and bacon with toast and jelly. Or pancakes and sausage with maple syrup.

"Not much of a selection, but it's free." Dax said as he sat down.

"I don't care as long as the coffee isn't watered down to tea." Replied Deb as she sat down at the table.

"Food is food in my book free or otherwise." Rayne said taking a seat next to Dax.

"Boy are we getting a lot of stares." Devon said as he and Kithira took seats at the table next to Dax and Rayne.

"Even though digimon have been around for almost thirty years, people are still getting used to seeing them out in the open." Lisa said as she poured syrup on her stack of pancakes.

"Yes, but it's not like digimon are new to the world. The way some of the people here have been looking at us is, well, unnerving if you ask me." Devon said.

"There will always be those that don't understand or even want to about digimon. What it's like to have a partner, or even see the digital world in all its beauty. But that times coming in the future when human and digimon will live side by side and in both worlds. At least that's what I hope will happen in the coming years." Dax said before he took a drink of coffee.

"Excuse me, are you a renamon?" A small female voice asked from behind Devon, prompting him to turn around in his chair.

"Eh, no, actually I'm a Renomon. My mate Kithira here is a renamon." Devon replied, in a soft voice to the maybe ten year old girl standing in front of him.

"Ah, you're a boy! My brother isn't going to believe this; he claims there isn't any male renamon. By the way my name is Eve." Eve said introducing herself.

"My name is Devon, and your brother is wrong, male renamon are called renomon, and we very rarely leave the digital world. That's why hardly any humans have seen us." Devon replied.

"Eve! So this is where you ran off to!" Said an early thirties woman walking up with an older boy in tow.

"Mommy, this is Devon, and he's a male renomon." Exclaimed Eve as her mother walked up.

"There's no such thing as a renomon." The boy said, disbelieving his sister.

"Then how do you explain, the two of us sitting here at this table." Cole said in a matter of fact tone but was smiling amusedly.

"Brian! Mind your manners! I'm sorry for my daughter bothering your breakfast." Said the mother sternly to her son then apologized to Devon and the rest of his group before taking Eve's hand.

"No need to apologize, educating the young and old about digimon is one of our groups primary jobs, even at breakfast." Dax said jumping into the conversation, smiling.

"Oh, Nice to meet you all. I'd love to stay and talk, but I've got a long day of driving ahead before we get home." their mother said as she turned away from their table taking her kids with her. The brother and sister talking rapid fire back and forth as they walked away.

After the mother and her kids had left the dining room.

"Nice girl, but the boy needs to pay more attention to what's going on around him, instead of having his head stuck in that video game." Kithira said as she popped the last bit of eggs into her mouth.

"That boy will probably never have a partner, his attitude is all wrong." Rayne said looking at Dax.

"Was I much different when we first became partners?" Dax asked looking at Rayne.

"But hey I could be wrong." Rayne replied smiling at Dax.

"Well I'm stuffed." Exclaimed Deb as she pushed her plate away.

"Same here, but I need another cup of coffee for the road." Lisa said as she picked up her coffee cup.

A course of ditto's around the table from the others signaled they were through also.

Back in the room 8:43 am

"Lets get the stuff loaded in the truck and get on the road as soon as possible." Lisa said as she started to pick up her travel bag, only to be intercepted by Cole.

"While you all are loading the truck, me and Kithira need to call Agent Stevens and see if we can pick up Kassy." Devon said heading into the other room with Kithira.

"Go ahead, we'll get the truck loaded." Dax said as he packed his laptop back in its bag.

Closing the door behind him, Devon walks over to the pad with Agent Stevens number on it. And then joins Kithira at the vid-phone.

"I'm going to stand over here out of the camera's range. Just in case he is recording the call, the last thing we need is Hypnos finding out about me." Devon said handing her the pad.

"That's true mate, the less he sees who the better is with me." Kithira said as she started keying in the phone number.

The screen displayed the standard connecting dialog before a few seconds later the screen on the other end was activated.

"Good morning, Stevens residence. Hey, Kithira! Long time no see, didn't expect you to call first thing in the morning." Alex said a still rubbing sleep from his eyes.

"Alex? Did I wake you? Or do you now work as Agent Stevens answering service?" Kithira asked jokingly.

"Wholly shit! Kithira, am I glad you called before we left for work." Alex said now fully awake and smiling.

"What was the test I kept failing you on at the academy?" Kithira asked in a serious tone.

"That was the dodging while flying, if I recall correctly you failed me 3 times before I got it right." Alex answered.

"It was 3 times and the third time you passed only because the senior instructor over ruled me on a call." Kithira said.

"As far as I see it, I still failed but I think the senior instructor was feeling sorry for me that day. For what it's worth, Mike and I are sorry for your loss of Daryl and the rest of you all's team." Alex said in a somber tone.

"Thanks Alex, now can I see my daughter?" Kithira asked.

"Let me go get them, oh man are we going to be late for work." Exclaims Alex as he fly's toward the hallway.

In Colorado Springs, Agent Stevens apartment 7:45 am.

Kassy starts to wake up slowly, then her eyes pop open as she feels Mike's arms pull her closer his hands cupping her breasts and something hard press against tail hole. She holds still afraid to move, before realizing that he's asleep.

"What's he doing?" Kassy thinks to herself as Mikes hands slowly rub her nips and his hips thrust lightly against her.

She shudders as his hands work her nips, and she feels herself grow wet between her legs. As the memory of the porn video the night before comes rushing back to her; she realizes what Mike is dreaming of.

"Oh, he wants to mate with me. What he is doing to me is feeling wonderful. I wonder what it's like to have him inside me like that digimon in the video last night." She thinks to herself, and her whole body shudders with the thought and under the attention her nips are getting.

Carefully she moves her hand to his bulging pants and feels for the opening there. With some difficulty she carefully works the front of his pants open without waking him letting his member springs free bumping her paw, and then presses against crack below her tail.

Spreading her legs a little she shudders as the heat coming off his member touches her tail hole and then slides forward across her wet virgin cunt. Causing her to gasp as his member presses against her clit then pulls back. Reaching her other hand down between her legs, Kassy reaches back and presses the tip of his cock between her lips. On his next forward stroke his cock slides along her slit but doesn't penetrate her virgin cunny. Getting frustrated she changes the angle of her hips, she almost screams as his cock is forced into her tight cunt. Her body shudders with both pain and pleasure as his cock withdraws only to be forced in deeper on the next thrust. Suddenly something tears inside her cunt and the pain becomes unbearable as his cock is pushed deeper inside of her. Unable to hold her tongue she yelps in pain, tears flood her eyes as her muscles tense up. Mikes hands tighten their hold on her breasts and he stops thrusting.

"Huh? Kassy? Are you- Oh My god, what am I doing?" Stutters Mike as he starts to pull out of her.

"Leave it in, I want this. I want you as my mate." Kassy says between sobs.

"Kassy, I don't know what to say." Mike replied.

"Don't say anything then, just love me and continue to mate with me." Said Kassy as the pain slowly receded and started becoming pleasurable.

"Are you sure?" Mike asked concern in his voice.

The only answer he gets is Kassy pushing herself back onto his cock farther with a moan of pleasure. Mike unable to take it any other way pushes forward hilting himself inside of her. Then pulls out completely and rolls off the bed and stands up. Kassy looks up at him in shock at first but then smiles as he removes his pants before climbing back into bed. She sees blood on his cock and knows that it's her blood, like the one from the video last night.

As Mike climbs back into bed he smiles at Kassy and gently rolls her over onto her back and positions himself above her and between her legs.

"I wanted you last night after I watched you masturbating on the couch." Mike said looking down at her.

Reaching up Kassy wraps her arms around Mikes neck and pulls him down to her.

"Stop talking and mate me." Kassy replied wantonly as she thrusted her hips up and his cock slide down her slit, the tip barely inside her.

Not wanting to disappoint her Mike, pushes his cock into her until he is hilted and holds it there for a minute for her body to get accustomed to his girth before slowly pulling it out and then pushing it back in.

"You're so big, it's a wonder that it all fits inside of me." Kassy said before he started pulling out.

"It's a surprise that I'm able to fit inside of you at all, you're so small but so sexy." Replied Mike smiling as he slowly starts to thrust his hips into her.

Kassy is overwhelmed by the flood of feelings she is experiencing and shortly is unable to do anything but moan and gasps as orgasm after orgasm wash over her. Mike watches Kassy as he makes love to her. All her reactions and moans of pleasure spur him on to make it last as long as he can. Kassy runs her claws down Mikes back and wraps her legs around his waist as his cock hits her g-spot causing her to orgasm very vocally. As her orgasm hits, her vaginal muscles clamp down on Mikes cock not allowing him to pull out or push himself into her. It's too much for him to handle. With a groan his nuts draw up tight in his sack and fire their load. Kassy throws her head back and howls out her orgasm as Mikes seed explodes from his cock filling her small cunt. He collapses on top of her, both of them gasping for breath as his cock pumps the last of his seed into her young womb.

Minutes pass as they slowly recover their breath and hold each other smiling.

"Ah, guys? This might be a bad time, but Kithira is on the vid-phone wanting to speak with Kassy." Said Alex, as he tried to hide is obvious hard-on from them.

Both of them jump at the sound of Alex's voice in the room.

"Alex, How long have you been there?" Mike asked as he started blushing along with Kassy being caught by Alex.

"More than long enough." Alex replied smiling as he turned to left the room.

"Ok, Alex tell her we'll be right there." Mike replied as he pulled out of her with a pop causing both of them to moan.

Rolling out of the bed Mike picks up his discarded pants and quickly puts them back on. Looking over at Kassy he sees the blood and cum from their love making coating her sex and legs and realizes that she can't go in front of her mother like that.

"Wait here let me get something; can't let your mother see you like that." Mike said as he walked out the door and heading into his room.

Meanwhile in the living room 8:45 am

"Kithira, Mike and Kassy will be here in a minute, they cleaning up." Alex said as he sat in the chair in front of the screen.

"Why do they need to clean up?" Kithira asked a little annoyed.

"I better let them explain that, if you'll excuse me I need to use the boys room." Alex said nervously as he flew out of camera range.

Back in the bedroom 8:48am.

Looking down Kassy sees what Mike was talking about and gasps at the blood and cum coating her fur between her legs. Without a thought she bends down and begins cleaning herself up with her tongue. As her tongue reaches her clit she moans in pleasure and pain as a shudder runs through her pussy and into the rest of her body. Quelling the urge to lick herself to another orgasm Kassy continues licking the blood and cum from her fur and sore pussy, not realizing that Mike was watching from the door.

"Well that's not what I had in mind." Mike said jovially as he entered the room carrying a wash cloth, towel and a robe startling Kassy.

"I had to clean myself up." Kassy replied looking up at him.

"Guess, we don't need the wash cloth or the towel now, here put this on." Mike said holding out the robe to her.

"Why?" Kassy asked looking at the robe and then him a puzzled look on her face.

"Because it probably wouldn't be a good idea if your mother knew that we had, ah, mated." Replied Mike as Kassy got up from the bed.

"My father was like you, why would she have problem with my choice?" Asked Kassy as she stepped in and wrapped her arms around Mike's waist and hugged him.

"Mothers are funny when it comes to their daughter's choice of mates." Said Mike returning her hug and looked down into her eyes smiling at her.

"Then she can, just deal with it. Like I heard on the TV yesterday." Kassy said as she gave Mike a lick on his cheek and took the robe from him and dropped it onto the bed.

"We better go talk with her; she's been waiting for a few minutes." Mike said releasing her from his arms and taking her paw leading her out the door.

As they pass the bathroom they hear Alex in the throes of his own orgasm. Mike chuckles and Kassy giggles as they quickly enter the living room and walk over to the vid-phone. On the screen Kithira is talking to someone out of camera range. As Mike presses the button to unmute the sound, Kassy and Mike hear the last of the conversation.

"-t don't matter what happens as long as we find Blake and bring him to justice." A male voice said off screen.

"Good morning, Agent Kithira. We didn't expect you to call so early." Said Mike with Kassy standing off to one side off camera.

"At least I didn't call in the middle of the night, it's my understanding that my daughter is with you, and may I speak to her please?" Kithira asked.

"Sure thing, Kassy come on over here." Mike said motioning for her to stand in front of the screen.

"Hello mother, I'm well and have missed you." Kassy said tears in her eyes.

"As I have you; you have your father's eyes." Kithira replied tears forming in her own eyes.

"Mother so much has happened to me, there's so much I want to tell you. I hope you're coming to get me and we can be a family again." Kassy said so fast that her words almost seemed to be one.

"I'll be there real soon; I'm still pretty far away from you. But tonight we'll be together, I promise." Kithira replied smiling at her.

"Kithira, if you could tell me where you are coming from we could meet you somewhere other than Hypnos Command." Mike said standing behind Kassy his hand on the small of her back just above her tail.

"You once took me and Daryl to a place you liked to eat in Denver. I'll meet you there at 5 pm. And Mike please be sure to make a reservation this time." Kithira said smiling.

"Ok, I still eat there from time to time, I'll call ahead and we'll see you there at 5 pm." Said Mike as his hand rubbed Kassy tail base causing her to murr lightly.

"Why, not at Hypnos command?" Kassy asked as they made plans in front of her.

"Because your mother doesn't trust Hypnos anymore than I do sometimes." Mike replied looking at Kithira for confirmation.

"Make the reservation for that private room there, so we can have some privacy. And Mike, its good you remembered about my feelings for Hypnos." Kithira said watching both of their physical responses to her words.

"After what I've seen over the past couple of months a lot of what you told me makes so much since now. Besides how can I forget one of my best instructors and better lectures." Mike replied smiling.

"Daughter we'll talk this evening, I have to go now to be at the restaurant by 5 pm. I'll see you there, and I'm happy that you evolved into such a beautiful renamon." Kithira said smiling at her.

"I understand mother, I can't wait to see you." Replied Kassy happily as Kithira cut the connection.

Kassy turns to face Mike and smiling kisses him wrapping her arms around him. Unconsciously Mikes arms return the embrace as well as the kiss before being interrupted by Alex hollering from the kitchen for them to come to breakfast.

"Breakfast come and get it before I eat it all!" Alex shouted from the kitchen.

"Go on to the kitchen and start eating, I need to make a call into work." Mike said before kissing her again.

"Ok, but don't take to long. Or Alex may eat it all." Kassy replied as she walked away her tail swaying back and forth almost teasingly.

Mike dials the private line to the chief's office and waits for the machine to pick up.

"Chief, this is Stevens. Kithira called and has set up a place to meet. She won't come to command and it's a long drive so I won't be in to work today. Call me later you have the number." Mike said just before the voice mail cut him off.

"Come on Mike! Breakfast is getting cold!" Alex shouted from the kitchen.

"Alright I'm coming already!" Mike hollered back.

In the digital world the previous evening.

"My pet there is one thing I must do before you leave for the real world to take over my forces there." Said Xerxes a smile his face.

"What is that my master, if you are so inclined to tell me." Replied Anton from his kneeling position at Xerxes feet paws.

"When I travel to this real world, you my sweet pet will be by my side as I conquer the humans and make their world mine." Xerxes replied as he stood up from his throne.

"But master, with the firewall and gateways closed there is no way for us to go there." Anton said looking up at Xerxes.

"Not for me in my current form but there is a way I just discovered last night while playing with this while you slept." Xerxes said pulling out Anton's modified D-arc from his robes.

"But I've tried all the codes I know, the encryption codes have been upgraded and change daily my master." Anton said a worried tone in his voice.

"I found some interesting files on your D-arc, ones that told me how to do something's I never thought of before last night. And don't sound so worried my pet, your far too useful for me to get rid of." Replied Xerxes as he turned and placed his hands on Anton's head.

"What are you planning to do master? Asked Anton as a light began to glow from his D-arc.

"Oh just load your data my pet after all your just data here in the digital world." Said Xerxes with a laugh as the light became so bright from the d-arc that it was blinding Anton.

Anton tried to pull away from Xerxes grip in desperation but Xerxes just held on tighter as the throne room was washed in bright light from the D-arc. In horror Anton watched as his hands and arms started breaking down into a data stream that was sucked into his D-arc.

"So this is how my life ends? Odd, it doesn't hurt." Anton thought to himself as the world went black.

Seconds later a bright flash of light and the throne room comes into focus.

"What's happened? Why am I still here?" Anton said looking around the room in a voice not his own but a combination of his and Xerxes.

Then the realization of what Xerxes had planned hits him. And a smile forms on his face.

"Oh, father you fell right into my trap; all these years you didn't realize that I knew what you done to mother. The end result was her dying in a hospital for the insane! But now I have your power, your army, everything you had is now mine!" Anton shouted laughing as he looked toward the bed chamber and started walking to it.

"But first before I head back to the real world. I need to load some data and get rid of some bastard children." Anton thought to himself as he knocked the bed chamber door off with one kick. Looking around the chamber he sees his target, the five rookies that he was forced to give birth to by Xerxes.

"Damnation Flare!" Anton shouts unleashing his strongest attack on the rookies.

As their data breaks down Anton absorbs it and when he is through walks out to find that flunky Faerthan for some much needed payback before returning to the real world with his new army.

"By this time tomorrow Denver will be in ruins and unit#2 will be mine." Anton thought as he walked into the court yard.

"FAERTHAN! COME TO ME RIGHT NOW!" Shout Anton at the top of his voice.

In seconds Faerthan is kneeling before Anton.

"Great Xerxes, I report as ordered" Said Faerthan his voice shacking in fear.

"You Fool I'm Not Xerxes Any More I Have Evolved! From now on you will call me Anxerxes, prepare the army we leave for the real world at dawn." Anxerxes said looking down at the most useless of digimon in an army.

"Yes Anxerxes, and will we be taking your pet human?" Faerthan said not looking up and shuddering from the evil aura coming from Anxerxes.

"I have loaded his data, now get the army ready and moving to the gateway in the back court yard." replied Anxerxes as he kicked Faerthan down the steps and walked toward the tunnel to the back court yard to wait for his army to join him.

Back in Buffalo, WY. 8:50 am.

After the vid-phone screen went black.

"Well what do you think?" Devon asked looking at Kithira.

"From what I could tell it was him. Alex hasn't changed ether, he had a hard on the second he saw me." Kithira said with a smile.

"Well I did notice that it seemed that they had just gotten up. But what troubled me was the fact that Mike had his hand a little low on Kassy's back, but at the angle from the screen I really couldn't tell." Devon said as he stood up from sitting on the bed.

"What you didn't notice mate was her eyes rolling back into her head and that only happens on a few spots on a renamon's body, and one of them is at the base of the tail." Kithira said as she headed for the room door only to be stopped by Devon's hand on her tail.

"You mean like this." Said Devon as her rubbed the base of her tail and lower back.

"Yes, exactly." Replied Kithira as she started to murr contentedly.

"I didn't know that renamon purred." Devon said smiling.

"In away we do, now stop that we have to get to Denver." Kithira responded brushing his hand away.

"Sounds like Kassy has chosen Agent Stevens as a mate, if you ask me." Devon said reaching around her to open the bedroom door.

"If she has then I will not interfere with her decision, it wouldn't be right for me to tell her whom she can choose as a mate." Kithira said as she stepped through the door into the main part of the suite finding it empty.

"They're out in the truck waiting on us, I bet." Devon said.

"Then lets get out there and get back on the road to Denver." Kithira replied heading for the suite door and opening it.

Outside everyone is standing at the back of the truck waiting for Devon and Kithira to come out of the suite.

"About time you two finished, any longer and I would have come charging in." Dax said jokingly.

"So was it the agent you remembered from the academy?" Lisa asked looking at Kithira.

"Yes, and he has agreed to meet with us somewhere else besides Hypnos Command. First we need to get to Denver and then be at BBQ From Scratch restaurant at 5 pm." Kithira said.

"I know that restaurant. They have real good bar-b-que and down home cooking, expensive to." Dax said as he climbed into the camper after Rayne.

"Good then when we get to Denver you can drive." Hollered Deb as she walked toward the drivers door followed by Achilles.

"I got shotgun." Hollered Lisa heading for the passengers door followed by Cole.

"Well looks like we're regulated to the camper again. Guess they don't like my driving." Said Devon as he held the camper door open for Kithira to climb in before climbing in himself and pulling the door closed behind him.

Within minutes they are back on the freeway heading south for Denver.

Unit #2 Denver Colorado, 6 am Mountain time

In the gateway chamber used for returning captured digimon to the digital world the security computer received an encrypted pass code.

On the screen:

Incoming transmission

Code: Alpha Omega 9666988 authenticated

Firewall deactivated

Gateway active all ports open

Security cameras and alarms deactivated

In seconds a digital field forms and figures start to appear walking out of the field.

"Capture all humans you find, and release all digimon that are useful." Ordered Anxerxes as he stepped over to the computer terminal and started entering codes.

Anxerxes in seconds pulled up the security cameras on one of the two monitor screens in front of him and watched as his troops began to systematically work their way through the base. On the other monitor he opened multiple windows with everything from controlling the security doors to shutting down the communication network to Hypnos Command in Colorado Springs just some 70 miles to the south. In another window he opened containment cells and wings letting the captured digimon free, and in another he changed the security codes for the bases main armory; locking it so no one could get into it.

In the security control for unit #2 6:02 am.

"Commander Edwards, something is wrong with the cameras, I just lost all of them!" Exclaimed Sargent Davis, as he worked the controls trying to restore the picture.

"Did you try changing the feed?" Asked Commander Edwards as he put his book down that he was reading on his desk and got up and walked over to the Sargent's desk.

"First thing I tried, the controls are not working." Said Sargent Davis as his monitor went blank and then displayed "Terminal Locked Out" message as Commander Edwards stepped up behind him.

"Shit! Now I'm locked out!" Sargent Davis exclaimed throwing his hands into the air.

"Call maintenance and get them up here right now. Put the unit on alert and call Hypnos Command and inform them what's going on." Ordered Edwards.

Picking up the phone Sargent Davis hits the speed dial for Hypnos Command and hears nothing when he puts the receiver to his ear. Trying again he gets the same result.

"Commander, the phones are dead also." Sargent Davis said looking up at the him.

Reaching pass the sargent, Commander Edwards hits the panic button that tells all personal to get to their emergency stations and nothing happens.

"Shit! Get geared up Sargent!" Hollered Edwards as he rushed over to the security offices small gun locker and unlocked it and grabbed one of the new digitizing guns designed to send digimon or anything else to the digital world and grabbing a second tossing it to the sargent.

Sargent Davis deftly catches the gun and switches the safety off.

Grabbing his cell phone off the desk Commander Edwards dials the direct line to Hypnos command bypassing the main line and directly to the control room. Putting the ear bud in Edwards is comforted by it ringing then someone answers.

"Main control, identify yourself this is an unsecured line?" The female voice on the other end said.

"This is Commander Edwards security commander for unit #2 we have a alpha one emer-" Is all he gets out as the office door is blasted off of it's hinge's and thrown across the room slamming him back into the armory locker with a nauseating splat. The call disconnected from the blast.

Hypnos Command Center, Colorado Springs. 6:05 Am Mountain time.

Junior agent Smith quickly writes down what she had heard on the phone line before being disconnected and gets up from her desk and carries the report over to senior agent Jones who is the agent in charge of third shift.

"Sir, this call just came in on a unsecured line, what do you make of it?" Agent Smith asked holding the report out for agent Jones to take.

Agent Jones takes the report and reads it.

"Probably some teenager just playing another prank; I wouldn't worry about it happens all the time especially this time of year." Jones said tossing the report on top of all the other ones that had come in since the start of third shift.

"But Sir! This call clearly states an alpha one emergency at unit #2 and from a commander, your not even going to check into it? Smith asked in a louder voice than normal for her.

"Agent Smith, your new here so you don't know about what happened last year; we received the same call from some teen in Denver claiming that hundreds of digimon had escaped from unit #2. Had us running around like chickens with our heads cut off, the agent in charge went as far to call the president and boy did that go over well with her. The end result was Hypnos being made a laughing stock of when it turned out to be a hoax. Just some high school student trying to get out of finals that week, and it worked for a day. Finals are this week in Denver; I know my daughter has been studying all last week for them. I'll check into it, go back to your station." Agent Jones replied.

"Yes, Sir. Hope your daughter passes." Agent Smith said as she turned and walked away.

"Forty seven minutes to shift change. How many more calls will come in before then?" Thought agent Jones as he picked up the report and got up from his desk.

"Hey Tom, mind the store I'm going to bathroom. And check into this report we got from unit #2." Said agent Jones as he tossed the report down on Tom's desk as he walked past.

"Sure thing, and grab me a cup of coffee on the way back." Tom Angeles replied picking up the report to read it.

"Oh boy here we go again another hoax at finals time." Agent Angeles mumbled as he filed the report on the activity log and then dialed the number to the security chief's office at unit #2 only to receive a busy signal before an automated message began playing.

"We're sorry all circuits are busy, please hang up and try your call again later." Said the message as it started to repeat as agent Angeles hung the phone up.

"I'll keep trying until shift change, then it's someone else's problem." Agent Angeles thought to himself as he picked up the next report to add to the activity log.

Somewhere on southbound I-25 in Wyoming 9:45 am.

"So Devon, I was wondering when you're going to revert to your human form?" Dax asked from his seat at the table looking up at Devon in the overhead bed.

"You tell me and we'll both know, that's the same thing Kit and I have been wondering over a month now." Replied Devon as he looked at Kit behind him.

"Well I know your mother looked over the programming in your D-advanced and found nothing wrong with it, and that if I took a look that I might find something she might have missed." Dax said looking bored.

"Why all the sudden interest in Devon's D-advanced?" Kithira asked as she poked her head over Devon looking down at Dax.

"It's general order 123-A; that's worrying me Kit. If anyone at Hypnos found out that he's a hybrid well we both know what would happen." Dax said.

"Besides as far as I'm concerned Devon is part of this team now along with his parents, which makes him family in my book." Dax said glancing at Rayne as she smiled at his words.

"Here, look at it and see what you can find." Said Kit as she tossed Devon's D-advanced down to him.

"It's nice of you to think of me as part of the team." Said Devon smiling as Dax plugged in his D-advanced into the laptop.

"This unit has been together over ten years and it just wouldn't be the same without a Thackry as a member of it." Rayne replied as she looked out the window over the table a tear running down her check as the memories of fallen friends flood her mind.

"Wow the programming on these D-advanced make my D-arc look like child's play." Said Dax as the lines of code slowly scrolled up the screen of the laptop.

"I hear sorrow in your voice, Rayne what's wrong?" Kit asked with a note of worry in her soft voice.

"Just remembering all our friends we have lost over the years because of these jerks that can't live with humans in peace like us." Rayne replied.

"Yeah I know how you feel Rayne, but that's the whole reason this unit was formed to protect both worlds." Kithira replied as she slid over Devon and climbed down from the overhead bunk.

"Boy, do you two remember all the training we had to do before Hypnos sent us out for the first time as a unit?" Dax asked not looking up from the laptop.

"Yeah it sucked, the trainers had no clue half the time and on the other half they actually got right." Rayne replied still looking out the window at the cars and trucks passing them in the speed lane.

"Remember that one trainer that was deathly scared of digimon?" Dax asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, he wouldn't get within ten feet of a digimon, it didn't matter what type of digimon it was ether." Rayne replied with a weak smile and a giggle.

"Which one was that?" Kit asked looking back and forth at each of them.

"He left Hypnos a couple of months before you and Daryl joined up. Left due to undiagnosed psychological problems that showed up after he had worked there for six months." Responded Rayne with an amused tone in her voice.

"Why do I have a feeling that you had something to do with his problems?" Devon asked as he tried to keep from chuckling.

"Oh, poo. I've been found out. I plead guilty as charged." Said Rayne in a almost southern belle voice causing them all to laugh, with Devon laughing so hard that he rolled out of the overhead bunk and landed on the floor. Causing them all to laugh even harder including Devon.

"And you didn't tell me? What did you do to him?" Dax asked looking up from the laptop.

"I didn't tell you because I wanted to keep you out of trouble if it didn't go as I planned. As for what I did to him I'll never tell." Rayne said as she stuck out her tongue at Dax.

"I'll tell you what you can do with that tongue later and in private." Dax said as he looked down at the screen with a smile on his face.

"I hope it's something kinky." Rayne replied in a sultry voice.

"Alright you two stop the verbal foreplay. Lets talk about something else and not sexual in nature." Devon said as he stood up.

"Well what do we have here." Dax said getting all their attention.

"You find something?" Devon asked as he stepped around to get a clear view of the laptops screen.

"You could say that, I found out why you haven't been able to devolve to your human form." Dax replied as he scrolled back up the screen a dozen lines of code.

"So you going to enlighten us or keep us in the dark waiting for an answer?" Devon asked playfully but serious.

"Here's the problem, because you're a hybrid digimon/human crossbreed your D-advanced isn't recognizing you as being fully ether one and just doesn't have the programming to handle your human psychical characteristics. So you may be stuck as a digimon the rest of your life, but it may be too soon to tell until I can learn more about the coding your mother and the team she worked with on the advanced models." Dax said as he scanned another section of code from the D-advanced into the laptop.

"Great that means that I might as well as go to the digital world and stay there. I'll be damned if I'm going to end up on some table at Hypnos as some experimental test subject." Devon said his tone of voice sounding none too happy.

"That's a little extreme I just need more time to work it out. For all I know I haven't even found the section of code that handles evolving and devolving from one form to another, this section I showed you may be a section that's not even used or even a backup." Dax replied as he went back to looking at the new section that he just scanned.

"Well we better figure out something before we meet agent Stevens this afternoon, the last thing we need is him reporting a hybrid running around free." Devon said as he took a seat.

"There's a reason that we are meeting him at a restaurant instead of Hypnos Command. Like me he doesn't trust Hypnos blindly." Kithira said.

"I take it you had some fun with the darker side of Command, also?" Rayne asked.

"Yes, the ones that really control what goes on at Hypnos. The ones you never see unless you do something really bad and gain their attention to you. I ran into them after I was captured by the firewall years ago." Kithira replied her body shuddering from the memory.

"Same here, after I caused that trainer to quit the academy. They make a war greymon on the war path look like a tame gatomon coughing up a hairball when their mad at you." Rayne said looking scared by the memory of her experience with them.

"So what did they tell you?" Kithira asked looking at Rayne.

"Oh nothing real bad, just that they would ripe my code apart byte by byte until only my mind remained and then rebuild me into what they wanted. One even suggested that they rewrite my core personality and make a sex slave out of me. Talk about a fate worse than deletion." Rayne replied shuddering.

"That's just as bad as what they told me before they let me through the firewall and into a containment cell. I was told to behave or be made a pet for one of them and lead around on a leash. That was before I met Daryl and was partnered with him." Kithira replied.

"Simple scare tactics that they use to make sure wild digimon caught by the firewall cooperate with them. Devon let me see Kithira's D-advanced I want to compare some codes on it to yours and use it as a baseline." Dax said as he unplugged the D-advanced and handed it back to Kithira and held his hand out to Devon for Kithira's D-advanced.

"You're going to compare the two files and look for the differences in the codes hopping that will tell you why I can't resume my human form. Why didn't I think of that before now?" Asked Devon as he pulled out Kithira's D-advanced and handed it to Dax.

"Well I would say it's because you had other things on your mind. But the way you two go at it I would have to say you were thinking with the wrong head and not the one on your shoulders." Said Dax smiling as he hooked Kithira's D-advanced to the laptop.

"Be nice Dax, what mated digimon do in private is not our concern. Anymore than what we do is any of theirs." Said Rayne before Devon or Kithira could respond to Dax's statement.

"Your one to talk Dax, you two have been going at it like rabbits since the day I meet both of you." Retorted Devon smiling.

"Touch'e." Replied Dax as he started comparing the files.

Hypnos Command Center 9:00 am.

Agent Drake walked across the main floor heading for his desk on the way he stopped by the desk of agent Angeles and picked up the last nights activity log for review like he did every morning. As he reached his desk he placed the log book down with his cup of coffee he bought at Starbucks each morning on the way in. Sitting down at his desk agent Drake looks at the big wall size monitors for signs of trouble before leaning forward to open the log book and taking a sip from his coffee.

"Just the same old stuff, nothing new and unusual to check into. At least it's not like last year with that hoax at unit #2. Wonder what ever happened to that kid that called in the hoax?" Thought Drake as he read over the first five log entries. Reaching the sixth entry he almost drops his cup of coffee as he stands up quickly and looks around for agent Angeles.

"Shit! He's gone home already!" Drake exclaims out loud drawing attention from the other agents in the control room.

"Is there a problem Drake?" Chief St. John Asks from the catwalk overhead and behind Drake.

"Yes Sir, there is a serious problem. Last night a call was made to command from unit #2 from security chief Edwards, he called a alpha one emergency according to the logs! I'm wondering why we're still on normal operations as the log doesn't show if it was confirmed or not." Said Drake holding the log up for Chief St. John to see it.

"Call them and check on their status before I call for a lock down." Replied Chief St. John.

"Yes sir, I'm on it." Said Drake as he sat the log book down, picked up a phone and called unit #2.

Two minutes pass before Drake hangs up the phone, and then looks up at Chief St. John.

"They're not answering chief." Drake said as he hung up the phone.

"Try contacting them over the network secure line." Ordered the chief as he walked to the stairs to the lower level.

Drake sits down at his desk and logs in to the system as the chief walks up behind him.

"Trying to connect now sir." Said Drake his fingers flying over the split dual keyboards attached to each arm of his chair.

On the screen in front of Drake, codes are entered and accepted giving him access to the main computer network at unit #2 in Denver. Entering the commands to bring up the security monitors at the unit gives an "access denied" message. Changing tactics Drake tries bringing up individual monitors all over the unit only to receive the same "access denied" message.

"It's no use sir I can't get past the security codes on the cameras there. I can try to reach one of the security stations or anyone there that's signed in." Drake said as he pulled up a list of active computer terminals at unit #2.

"Drake, try anything that gets us in, anything you can think of. We need to find out the status of our people there. Mary get on the phone to the president and inform her of the current situation here." Chief St. John said as he sat down at the nearest desk to Drakes and signed into the system.

"Hold on chief I'm getting a data stream on the security feed from the main security office." Drake said looking over at the chief.

"Put it up on the main screen and speakers." Ordered the chief.

On the main screen the normal picture of the network for the whole country is replaced by the smiling face of a digimon, shocking some of the command staff in the control room.

"Ah, Chief St. John how nice to see you again." Anxerxes said his smile fading to a frown.

"Blake you sick bastard, how did you-" Chief St. John. started to ask but was cut off by Anxerxes.

"Shut up St John, the name is Anxerxes! Here's the way this is going to work. You have 24 hours to turn over to me that interfering bitch Kithira and her team of misfits. Second the U.S military forces and police near unit #2 must leave the area. Also control of the network must be turned over to me by 5 pm! Otherwise I will start releasing all of the captured digimon here onto the streets of Denver. This is the only warning you'll receive, any military or police forces what so ever try to attack this location and I will kill all base personal, also in 24 hours I will kill ten people here every hour until Kithira and her team are delivered to me." Anxerxes said.

"You know I can't do that! I don't have the authority to make those orders and you know it! Besides we have no idea of where agent Kithira and her team are." Replied Chief St. John.

"I don't care what you can or can't do, make it happen or I start killing base personal and let all theses digimon go into the streets of Denver!" Anxerxes said as he cut the video feed.

The control room stayed quite for almost a minute before the chief said anything.

"What you people standing around for get back to work! Get the president on the phone! And check all security controls for the network, firewalls and gateways here at command. Move like you got a purpose!" Shouted the chief as he stormed up the stair to his office.

"Drake! Call in all personal in the area it's going to be a long day!" Said St. John as he slammed his office door shut only to find a file laying on his desk marked urgent read immediately.

Sitting down at his desk and opening the file Chief St. John is not shocked to find the results of Anton Blake's latest DNA test.

Results: human DNA 65% digimon DNA 35% hybrid confirmed.

"Shit! How did that bastard get around all our security for so long and I'm just now finding out about this!" Exclaimed St. John before he took a drink of coffee and his other hand reached for the phone that's line was a direct line to the presidents office.

Agent Stevens car north side of Denver Co. 12:10 pm.

"So Mike where are we going first?" Alex asked from his seat as he poured chocolate syrup into a can of cherry coke.

"I figured we go to the mall and have lunch first and then head over to the place we're meeting agent Kithira. And how in the hell can you drink that?" Mike asked from the driver's seat.

"It's no worse than you drinking that stuff you call coffee with breakfast, besides this tastes like chocolate covered cherries with a fizzy kick, which you won't buy me." Replied Alex as he took a drink of the coke.

"What's a chocolate covered cheery?" Kassy asked from the passenger seat.

"It's a candy that Alex likes, wish mother had never gave him one he's been hooked on them ever since." Mike said as he pulled the car off the freeway.

"It's like the best candy in the entire world! All rolled up in a little ball about the size of my fist." Alex said holding out his fist to show Kassy the size.

"Oh, so it's a food. Maybe I'll get to try it someday." Kassy said as she looked out the window.

"I hope it doesn't do to you what it does to Alex." Replied Mike with a sour look on his face.

"Oh come on Mike I'm not that bad, well at least not like I am with eggs, sausage and pickled peppers." Alex said in his sing song voice.

"No, but it has been worse. That time you ate four servings of dad's chili with beans. And mom made you sleep in the dog house for days before she would let you back in the house." Mike said smiling over at Alex.

"How many times are you going to keep bringing that up?" Said Alex obviously embarrassed as he hid his face.

"Why did she make him sleep in the dog house?" Kassy asked a puzzled look on her face.

"He gets really bad case of gas when I let him eat the wrong things." Mike responded making a sour face and then pinching his nose shut.

"Ok, enough about my body functions you've embarrassed me enough for one day in front of your mate Mike." Alex said in a tone that informed Mike that he had went too far in his joking with Alex.

"Ok, no more teasing I promise." Replied Mike as he pulled the car into a parking spot in the mall and shut the motor off.

"Hey, Mike your phone is flashing that there's a message for you." Alex said as he picked the phone up from the seat holding it up for Mike to take it.

"Oh crap! Hypnos has been trying to get me since ten this morning." Mike said as he opened the phone and dialed the chiefs private line.

The phone rings three times before it's answered.

"St. John this better be good." St. John said as he answered the phone call.

"Hey chief it's agent Stevens, sorry about not call-" is all he can get out before chief St. John cuts him off.

"Calling you? What makes you think I've been calling? Lets see, maybe the ten messages that say CALL WORK ASAP! On them." St. John said in a very loud and tense voice causing Mike to hold the phone away from his ear.

"Ok, hang on I need to switch ears because I can't hear in that ear now. Now what do you need?" Mike asked as he changed ears.

"First where are you?" St. John asked.

"In Denver waiting to meet with agent Kithira." Mike replied.

"Good, here's the situation, sometime this morning Anton Blake took control of unit #2. We don't know yet how he got there from the digital world. Next he's calling himself Anxerxes now and looks like a crossbreed between a daemon and a human. And he has made a list of demands that Hypnos can't give into." St. John said.

"What demands did he make?" Mike asked a worried tone in his voice.

"Oh lets see, complete control over the network for starters. The he wants agent Kithira and her team to give up at unit #2 to him by 8 am tomorrow, and lets not forget all military and police personal to leave the area around unit #2 or he starts killing off the base personal starting at 8 am tomorrow morning. That about covers it." St. John said.

"Well his demands put him in the crazy but not stupid category. I can understand the network demand, with control over it he could bring as many digimon here that he wants to from the digital world. Same goes for the military and police forces, he wants to have a buffer zone between himself and them. But agent Kithira and her team that's what I can't understand." Mike replied.

"Maybe she found out something about Blake in the digital world he doesn't want getting back to Hypnos, your guess is as good as mine, so ask her when you meet with her." St. John said.

"Chief correct me if I'm wrong. I thought that agent Kithira's team was all killed except her?" Mike asked.

"As far as we know her team was reported kia in the digital world months ago." St. John said.

"It appears that Blake believes that they are still alive and here somewhere in this world. Wonder how they've stayed off the radar for so long?" Mike asked.

"They are all trained for seek and destroy, escape and evade. So you figure it out. They're all highly trained and got top marks in their classes." St. John replied.

"What do you want me to do after meeting up with agent Kithira?" Asked Mike somewhat worried.

"Tell her what has happened and tell her as of 12:30 today you are officially assigned to her unit and under her command. The unit's orders are to s&d Anton Blake and any others helping him. Also Anton Blake now falls under general order 123-a and is too dangerous for containment if you have a problem with the s&d order." St. John said.

"Orders understood, but there is a problem sir. I'm not due to meet Kithira until 5pm." Said Agent Stevens worried.

"Fuck! That's yet another bit of bad news I didn't need to hear." growled St. John irritably.

"Well if it's any consolation, agent Kithira usually shows up early or at least she used to when I had her for one of my instructor's at the academy." Agent Stevens replied.

"If you can make contact with her early and then with a little luck and a prayer we'll get out of this pickle we're in." St. John said.

"Unless there's anything else I'll get geared up and go wait for her to show up." Agent Stevens said.

"Oh one last thing if I don't hear from you or someone from the unit by 6 pm the network connection will be cut and the power shut off in attempt to force him out." St. John said before he hung the phone up.

"Shit fire and save a match!" Stevens said as he tossed the phone down on the seat.

"What's wrong Mike?" Alex asked in a worried tone.

For the next fifteen minutes Mike explained everything he was told to Alex and Kassy before starting the car and leaving the mall behind and heading over to the meeting place.

Somewhere south of the Wyoming state line on I-25.

"Here's what I've done, I've compared the programming of both Kit's and Devon's D-advanced and found these differences. On Devon's, it has almost 2 gig more of data which I have been able to account for as his human dna, memories and so on. But I've also found the reason he hasn't reverted to his human form is that for some reason the D-advanced has locked his renomon form as his base form aka his in training form." Dax said as he showed Lisa the data on the laptop through the connecting window between the truck and camper.

"But that can't be right I programmed his base form into the D-advanced when he was still a child." Replied Lisa as she looked over the data.

"What age was he when you programmed the D-advanced the first time for him?" Dax asked.

"Oh five or six I can't remember exactly." Lisa said.

"That's it! You programmed it when he was a small child and not after he hit puberty, that's why the D-advanced is not recognizing his base human form now." Dax said excitedly.

"Do you think that we can fix the programming to allow him to revert to human?" Lisa asked hopefully.

"Not with this laptop I can't, now if I had access to the system at Hypnos I might be able to do it. But that's like walking into the lions den if you ask me." Dax said.

"I heard that!" Achilles said from behind Dax in the camper.

"No offense intended, it's just a human phrase meaning walking into a trap that you know is there." Dax said looking back at Achilles.

"Great, that means without a mainframe system we can't get Devon back to human before meeting with agent Stevens." Griped Lisa from the back seat of the truck.

"That about covers it. But we can pass him off as Cole's son if the question comes up." Dax replied.

"Agent Stevens isn't that stupid. He'll want to know where Devon is, and then ask who the extra digimon is and ask about him." Kithira said next to Lisa.

"How would you know what he'll ask us when we meet him?" Dax asked looking at her quizzically.

"Simple, from the statement St. John gave after Kassy was given citizenship. At this time they know that nether Devon or his mother was sent to the digital world with their house over a month ago, they would have checked. Thus agent Stevens has already looked up Lisa's employee file at Hypnos and has a picture of her and possibly of Devon with him." Kithira said in her no non sense tone.

"Well if it comes to that, we'll just have to tell the truth about Daryl and Devon, me and Cole. Not that I like the possibility of that." Lisa said not to happy about the prospect.

"Agent Stevens is a fair man or at least from what I learned of him in the academy. He won't judge anyone until he has all the facts." Kithira said.

"Well I hope he listens better than some of Hypnos employees did when I was still working there." Lisa replied.

"As long as Kassy is safe, that's all I care about." Kithira said.

"Hey guys, I'm pulling over for Dax to take over driving being he knows where we're going." Devon said from the driver's seat as he pulled the truck over to the side of the freeway and put it in park.

"Oh goodie I get to actually see where we're going for a change." Dax said cheerfully as he nudged Rayne awake.

"Hey a girls sleeping here, what's up?" Rayne asked groggily.

"Time to get up sleepy head our turn up front." Dax replied as he put away the laptop and then headed for the camper door.

"Ah darn, just when that dream was getting good." Said Rayne as she got up from the bed and stretched, then followed Dax out of the camper.

"At least you're not stuck up here in the overhead bunk trying not to puke your guts out." Said Deb as she grabbed a plastic trash bag and held it near her face.

"Ain't my fault you drank too much of Achilles and didn't use protection." Rayne said with a smile as she left the door open for Lisa and Cole to climb in.

"Let's see how you like it when you get pregnant!" Shouted Deb in response to Rayne's remark as Lisa climbed in followed by Cole.

After they start moving again with Dax driving.

"Why do you rise to her taunts?" Asked Cole as he relaxed on the lower bunk with Lisa held close.

"Don't worry about it; it's just a game we play. She teases me about something and I do the same to her at times." Deb responded smirking just before her face began to turn a little green but managed to keep from emptying her stomach yet again.

"I see, then I'll refrain from making comment in the future." Cole said looking down at Lisa.

"I figured with you and Lisa already having two children that you would remember the morning sickness that we pregnant females have." Deb said.

"Oh, yes the morning sickness. Not much different from digimon females, they tend to be moody and withdrawn for a day or two until they lay an egg or two. Then they're back to normal." Cole replied.

"Yes, I remember it all too well, both times." Lisa chimed in as she snuggled against Cole's chest a content smile on her face.

"The truth is, I never thought I could get pregnant with Achilles here, I never considered the possibility until I missed two months of my period." Deb replied.

"Well I already told you about my experience with Cole and that nose of his telling me that I was pregnant before I had figured it out." Lisa said.

"One of the most highly keep secrets by Hypnos is the possibility of humans getting digimon pregnant and vis versa. Hence general order 123-a. That's why I'm worried about Hypnos finding out that I'm pregnant by Achilles." Deb said as she pushed back against Achilles who was laying behind her.

"That order just bothers me, why make an order that would rip families apart?" Lisa asked.

"Hypnos didn't want it public knowledge, mainly to keep the fringe groups mostly on the internet from finding out. They feared if that little known fact got out they'd have every nut job out there demanding to go to the digital world seeking a mate." Deb said.

"That's sad really, think of all the lonely people out there that could have a digimon partner and not know it. Besides the mating aspect of it, that's something that comes with time and love for another besides ourselves." Replied Lisa.

"True, I and Achilles here didn't actually become lovers for almost seven years after we were partnered." Said Deb as Achilles big paw hand affectionately rubbed her belly.

"For me and Cole it was before I finished high school in Spokane when I still lived at my parent's house. Boy did they get a shock finding me and Cole in bed making love one night when they were out eating dinner and returned early." Lisa said almost laughing at the memory.

"So what happened?" Deb asked almost leaping out of the overhead bunk.

"Oh, nothing much just a long lecture about sex from mom and dad. The funny thing was they already knew that me and Cole where lovers before they caught us at it. Never could lie to mom to save my life." Lisa replied chuckling at the last.

"They weren't upset that you had chosen Cole as your mate?" Deb asked.

"No, they weren't happy about it but accepted it as my choice and not theirs. Mom hoped I'd marry a doctor or lawyer or someone like that." Replied Lisa as the truck slowed down and pulled to a stop.

A second later Kithira stuck her head through the connecting window between the truck and camper.

"We're here everyone out." Said Kithira and pulled her head back out of the window.

"Darn! I thought I would get time for a nap." Cole said as he looked down at Lisa.

"You can nap later, let's get our granddaughter back." Said Lisa as she stood up and Deb climbed down from the overhead bunk.

"Now let's not attract too much attention to ourselves while we're in the restaurant." Lisa said as she opened the camper door and hoped out followed by Deb and then their mates.

"Well that's going to be not a problem in this restaurant. It's agent Stevens parents place. They have digimon and trainers here all the time." Kithira said as she walked up with Devon in tow from the passenger side of the truck while Dax and Rayne came from the other side to the rear.

"We're actually over an hour early. So what do we do until 5 pm?" Deb asked.

"What else, we go in and eat and wait for them to show up." Replied Kithira as she walked across the parking lot to the building entrance leaving the others to follow.

The restaurant from the outside had the modern look to it as they approached but once inside the main doors they realized that the fancy outside was for appearances only. The inside looked like it was from a different era all together. A throwback in time to the old west when the city was just barely a town. The walls where done in rough cut wood planks with various pictures and tools of the old west adorning the walls. A wood palisade made like a wood fence separated the entry way from the large dining area. And the most tantalizing smell of wood smoke and slow cooking meats filled the air, causing most of their stomachs to growl when the smell hit their nose's.

"Howdy, can I get y'all a table? Or are y'all just here for the buffet?" Asked an aging gentleman as he walked up with a stack of menus and placed them on a table by the door.

"We're actually early but are wondering if the private room was available?" Kithira asked in a soft voice.

"Oh, y'all must be the ones my son was telling me about. The room is ready, hey I remember you! Agent Kithira one of Mikes instructors at the academy; It's the same room y'all used the last time you and your partner was here. Speaking of your partner where is he?" He asked as he picked up a stack of menus and walked down toward the back of the dining area along one wall.

"My partner died on our last mission in the digital world over a month ago." Replied Kithira in a solemn voice as she walked behind him.

"Sorry to here that, Mike spoke highly of you two; Credits you two with his graduating the academy." He said stopping in front of a door and opening it for her and waving her in with the hand that carried the menus.

Walking in Kithira and company is shocked to see Agent Stevens with Alex and Kassy sitting at the big table eating. Kithira can't help but laugh as Kassy and Alex look up from their plates with BBQ sauce covering most of their faces. And agent Stevens face pristine clean as he sets his glass down and stands up.

"Well look what the mon dragged in!" Exclaims agent Stevens as he walks around the table to meet Kithira.

"I see we're not the only ones that arrived early. Looks like you're enjoying yourselves." Kithira replied stopping to stand in front of agent Stevens.

"Hey, Kithira what do you expect we're growing digimon." Alex said from the table.

"Alex you've been grown for along time, still the bottomless pit I see." Jabbed Kithira smiling at him.

"MOTHER!" Exclaimed Kassy as she dove past agent Stevens and wrapped her arms around Kithira almost knocking her down from the force of the impact.

"Daughter, I'm so happy to have you back. I thought I had lost you also." Kithira replied holding Kassy close for a minute before letting her down.

"What's this scent on mother? A male has been with her, his scent is strong. It's like daddy's but different somehow. There's another scent coming from her. She's with cubs! When was she going to tell me?" Thought Kassy to herself as Kithira lowered her to the floor.

"Now settle down and let me introduce some people I want you to meet." Kithira said as she waved the others forward one at a time.

"Yes, mother. I just can't believe that your here, but when were you going to tell me you're with cubs." Kassy said.

"This is Devon, my new mate and your fathers bro- I'm what?!" Kithira said grabbing Devon by the arm.

"Kit, when were you going to tell me?" Devon asked as he drew close to Kithira smiling happily.

"I didn't know if I was really carrying your cubs, I just wanted to be sure before I did tell you." Kithira replied looking down and rubbing her belly.

"How could you possibly not know. It's been obvious to me for the past week." Cole stated as he rubbed his nose.

"And you didn't tell me my daughter was pregnant?" Asked Lisa punched Cole on the arm lightly.

"It wasn't my place, mate." Cole said chuckling at the punch that barely ruffled his fur.

"Ah, I thought your son Devon was human?" Asked agent Stevens looking at Lisa, Cole and then the one introduced as Devon. Before a look of realization hits him.

"You know that under general order 123-a I'm supposed to apprehend you three. But it's a good thing that I don't follow every the order issued by command. Besides that order covers dangerous hybrids if I remember correctly, which leaves it open to a wide interpretation. And I don't see any dangerous hybrids here. What about you Alex, Dad?" Agent Stevens said smiling.

Everyone with Kithira tensed up with agent Stevens the mentioning of order 123-a and apprehending them.

"mo I don she any." replied Alex through a mouthful of rib bone and meat dripping with BBQ sauce before going back to his food with the gusto of a mon that's been starved his whole life.

The old man that had brought them to the room spoke up then after giving a hardy laugh at Alex's antics.

"Nope, my boy I don' see no dangerous hybrids, I just see your friends here, and some new faces. Kithira how bout you give a more proper introduction eh?" said Mike Steven's father.

Everyone relaxed as the realization that they had nothing to fear from agent Stevens or his father.

Kithira nodded happily more than a bit overwhelmed at the confirmation of what she had been thinking for a week or so.

"Well with that said. This is Devon Thackry-Ro'tharan Silver Diamond brother of Daryl and my mate. Over here is Lisa and Cole Ro'tharan Silver Diamond, Devon's parents. Next we have, Deb and Achilles and lastly Dax and Rayne the last of my unit." Kithira said introducing each in turn.

"Well I see that the reports were wrong, they said y'all were dead in the digital world months ago." Said agent Stevens looking at Deb, Dax and their digimon partners.

"The news of our deaths has been greatly exaggerated to everyone's disappointment." Dax said with a British accent bringing a round of laughter from everyone.

"Everyone sit, please and I gets some food and something to drink brought out shortly." Said Mikes dad after the laughter died down.

Everyone sat down at the table and Mike's father left to get some menus as he was not sure what everyone would like.

"So Mike, why are you wearing your gear?" Kithira asked as she took a seat.

"Here's the deal, as of 12:30 pm today Alex and I are officially assigned to your unit. Secondly I've new mission orders for our unit from Commander St. John." Mike replied.

"Not sure I like where this is go-." Dax said but was cut off by Kithira holding up her paw toward Dax.

"It's good that he is reinforcing this unit, but who else is he sending to me? And when can we expect them to show up?" Kithira asked.

"As far as I know right now just Alex and me. But if there are others I haven't been told about them." Replied agent Stevens as his father came back in and started handing out menus to everyone quickly then left the room heading back out front.

"So what is this mission? As the units intelligence officer I should have received the flash orders first." Asked Dax more than a little perturbed at the news.

"Normally you would have, but for the last five months you've been listed as kia in the digital world along with the rest of the unit. Which bri-." Agent Stevens said before he was cut off by Rayne jumping in.

"WHAT! K.I.A. in the digital world, yeah right. By who and with who's army?" Exclaimed Rayne.

"Rayne, stuff it! Agent Stevens please continue." Kithira said looking sternly at Rayne.

"That was in the report that was sent to Hypnos by Anton Blake. Which we now know is false otherwise we wouldn't be talking right now. As far as the mission is concerned I think we can wait for me to brief everyone after we eat." Replied agent Stevens smiling at them all.

"I just have one question, did command know about the tracking devices put in our D-arc's when we came in six months ago? Dax asked as he set the menu down in front of him.

"Command found out about them after Anton Blake's computer was searched at J.A.S.F. Headquarters and his daily journal was recovered from the computer. Along with other files that incriminated him in a whole string of crimes including the murder of agent Thackry and his unit. What did you all think that Hypnos was behind the killing of it's own agent's? Asked agent Stevens a little shocked when the realization hit him.

"What else were they supposed to think? They get called in for a meeting and then within a month of the meeting their unit is getting killed off in both worlds. I found the tracking device in Kithira's D-arc the same day Kithira showed up at our house. That was only after Kithira told me what had happened to her unit, that was when I put two n' two together and examined the D-arc." Lisa said a little hot under the collar from Blake's name being brought up.

"I can see this from their point of view, and I do understand why you all would think that. Everyone at Hypnos Command was shocked to find out that one of our own had turned against us, even more so when his own journal described in detail the installation of the tracking chips and the murder of Hypnos agents." Replied agent Stevens solemnly looking at Lisa.

"Which brings up another question, what is Hypnos going to do about it?" Devon asked.

"The warrant on Anton Blake has been updated this morning by chief St. John, Anton Blake is now on this countries most wanted list at #1. But there is an exception on this one, the government has put a bounty on his head of 5 million dollars and that's for him dead or alive. Funny thing is I think they would prefer him dead to save the country millions on the court trial." Mike said responding to Devon.

"Just point me the way I need to go and he's good as dead." Devon said in a very cold voice his eyes glowing faintly.

"Calm down mate, Daryl will be avenged when the time is right." Kithira said as pated Devon's forearm.

"Listen to your mate, my son. Running off to avenge him in anger is not wise; especially when we have no clue as to where this Anton Blake is." Cole said in a calm voice from the other end of the table.

"Ok is everyone ready to order?" Asked agent Stevens father as he came back into the dining room.

"Me and Achilles will take the ribs for two with mashed potatoes, pinto beans and make it a double order, oh, and two sweet teas." Deb said as she handed back the menus.

"I see someone has a healthy appetite." Mikes father said as he wrote down the order.

"He loves ribs and I'm pregnant and starved." Replied Deb smiling and rubbing her belly, causing the others to chuckle or giggle at the display.

"Congratulations." Said Mikes father smiling before he turned to Lisa and Cole.

"The BBQ chicken salad with an unsweetened tea for me and Cole will have a double order of the BBQ chicken half with spring water." Lisa said.

"The pulled BBQ pork sandwich and tea for me and the combo plate with tea for Rayne." Said Dax smiling and handed back the menus.

"And for the last couple?" Mikes father asked looking at Devon and Kithira.

"I'll take the combo plate and a coke, and what would you like my kitten?" Devon asked looking at Kithira.

"Make mine the same as my mates." Kithira said handing back the menu.

"And Mike what would you like?" His father asked.

"A piece of mom's apple pie with ice cream." Mike replied.

"I should have known." His father replied shaking his head as he turned and headed out the door.

Chapter 10:

Meanwhile at Unit #2

"Master, the humans haven't turned over control to the network yet. Something tells me their going to stall on that demand." Faerthan said as he shuddered in fear this close to Anxerxes.

"Of course they are going to stall for time! That's what makes them think that they are in control of the situation, when they can't control even themselves." Anxerxes replied as he switched the view from outside cameras on the monitor in front of him.

"So what do you plan to do? Master" Asked Faerthan.

"Maybe they need some incentive to agree to my demands." Anxerxes thought a second before continuing. "Send twenty of the greymon outside and have them destroy all the buildings around my base for two blocks away from it. Some of the closer buildings are close enough for a digimon or even a human unit to gain entry to my base, and that would be very bad." Anxerxes said as he watched the monitors for any sign of just that.

"Excellent idea! I'll see to it at once master!" Exclaimed Faerthan as he turned and ran out of the control room.

"You do that and hopefully some tamer will save me of the trouble of destroying you myself. Let's see how long it takes the humans to report my greymon destroying the city on t.v." Thought Anxerxes to himself as he reached over and turned on the small LCD screen and started flipping through the channels looking for the news station.

Minutes later at one of the gates along the walls of unit #2, twenty greymon assemble and wait for the gate to be opened as they receive final instructions from Faerthan.

"Here are your orders from our master Anxerxes! You twenty greymon are to go outside of the base and destroy all buildings within two blocks of the base. You have free reign to destroy any digimon and human tamers you encounter! Now go!" Shouted Faerthan as the gate opened.

The twenty greymon charged forward with a roar through the gate, the first ones through the gate firing off nova blasts as fast as they could at anything that in their sight. Car tires squealed as drivers locked up breaks of their cars trying to avoid hitting the first greymon as it stepped onto the road blocking traffic causing a major chain reaction wreck. The first car was thrown forward into the leading greymon's left foot and over the top of it. The greymon roared in pain as it lost it's balance and fell straight down on top of the car that just ran over it's foot. The driver died instantly as the greymon's weight blew the tires and crushed the car like a beer can. Seeing a chance to move up in the ranks, the second greymon fired it's nova blast repeatedly at the fallen leading greymon until it roared one last time before it's data broke down to be loaded by the other. The second started glowing and digivolved into metal greymon with the addition of the new data.

"Spread out, start destroying any and all targets!" Ordered the metal greymon just before he unleashed his strongest attack on a nearby building.

The other 18 greymon spread out as they came through the gate and started firing on any targets, people, buildings, cars, anything within range. Slowly buildings fell under the onslaught of the nova blasts and giga destroyer attacks.

Inside unit #2 Anxerxes watched as the underling greymon loaded the others data and then evolved.

"I'll have to keep an eye on that one. Opportunistic little shit!" Thought Anxerxes as he smiled at the destruction he had caused outside.

Minutes later overhead a helicopter from one of the local network tv stations flew over after hearing on the scanner about some major fighting going on around the well-known unit #2. Inside the helicopter the reporter quickly got on his phone.

"Ted! Listen to me! I'm over unit #2 and well it's just unreal the amount of destruction I'm seeing. There's at least fifteen large digimon destroying everything down there! Are you getting this?" Floyd Benstine Asked as he looked at his camera man.

The camera man gave a thumbs up while operating the nose camera by the remote control.

"Ok, Ted give us a minute." Said Floyd as he closed his cell phone and tapped Greg the camera man on the shoulder getting his attention.

"Send the feed to the station we're going live in 60 seconds." Floyd said.

Greg quickly flips a couple of switches on the control board and grabs the shoulder cam used in the helicopter and on the ground. Looking through the sight Greg adjusts the focus on Floyd as the voice of Shelia back at the stations control room counts down in his headphones.

"Live in, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and go." Greg said as he counted down the last ten seconds.

"This is Floyd Benstine of Channel 7 news I'm live over the much famed unit #2 of Hypnos here in Denver. Right now as I speak, below me there is at least fifteen very large digimon cutting a path of destruction around unit #2. The devastation I'm seeing is unreal, cars, buildings anything in their path is being destroyed. This is just unimaginable; I hope everyone is seeing what I'm seeing. Wait a minute I'm trying to make out something through the smoke down there. Greg, see if you can zoom in on about 4 o'clock position. I can't believe it! There's a female tamer down there fighting with one of these large digimon, she's directing another digimon to attack one of the large orange digimon. I'd don't believe it the tamers digimon just destroyed one of the orange digimon! She's waving at someone I can't make out who, there's people down there! She's directing them to safety, covering them as they get away from the greymon I'm being told what they are now by the station through my headset. We're going to remain over the area as long as we can and keep showing you all at home what's going on here. This is Floyd Benstine for channel 7 news over Hypnos unit #2." Floyd said in a shocked voice as he watches the retreat of the woman and her digimon from the battle ground below.

Inside unit #2 security control room.

"Ah, it's going better than I had hoped, no police or military forces to hold back the onslaught of my forces. One lone tamer and her digimon, how pathetic can this get? I'd at least hoped that Hypnos would have sent someone." Thought Anxerxes to himself as he caught the last part of the live news feed from channel 7 and waited for them to replay it or show more.

At Agent Stevens parents restaurant the group is eating the food they ordered and talking over old times and new ones.

"Well at first I thought it was just a dream and that's when I felt someone else in bed with me. As it turned out it was Kithira here, somehow I was able to travel to the digital world and bring her back with me." Said Devon as agent Stevens father rushed into the room slamming the door against the wall and ran over TV.

"Dad! What's wrong?" Asked agent Stevens as his father turned on the TV.

"Channel 7 is showing a live battle between digimon a little over a mile away from here. The other customers are watching it out front." He said as he changed over to channel 7.

"You're kidding?" Asked Deb in disbelief as the older TV warmed up.

"No I'm not son. Outside you can hear the explosions from here, I heard them when I was taking out the trash just a few minutes ago." He said as the sound on the TV came on.

They all watch as the scene at unit #2 is replayed again in silence.

"Everyone let's go we've got work to do." Kithira said as she stood up.

"Hold it agent Kithira, there's some things you and everyone need to know before you go charging in there." Mike said as he stood up.

"All I need to know is there is digimon attacking innocent people in a city I'm sworn to protect." Kithira said as she set her fork down on her plate.

"Anton Blake took over unit #2 sometime this morning. And has made a whole host of demands that the chief can't meet, one of those demands is you and the rest of the unit to turn ourselves over to him at unit #2 by 8 am tomorrow morning or he'll start killing the base personal." Mike said in a somber tone.

"That bastard is here in Denver then I don't have to chase him down in the digital world." Devon said his voice taking on a feral sounding tone as he began raging.

"Son, Clam yourself! You can't go in there after him at least not through all them greymon alone. And at least not in your present condition." Cole said as he placed his paw hand on Devon's shoulder.

"I've fought a greymon before Dad, and won. What's so hard about fighting a greymon?" Devon asked looking up at his father.

"We fought that greymon together, you've never battled in a one on one mate." Kithira said stepping in close to him.

"Then we all go in there and cover each other's backs until we bring Blake down." Said Devon even more serious and determined than before.

"Devon you may now be a digimon but that doesn't mean that you're indestructible! Besides you don't have the training the rest of us do." Lisa said to her son.

"Mother I have more training than you did the first time you and dad battled. Remember my friend from Britain? Mother." asked Devon.

"Yes, what about her?" Lisa asked looking at Devon curiously.

"She's a renamon that fights in the battle dome once or twice a month for the prize money. And sometimes she asked me to sit in for her tamer when she couldn't be there for the match. She taught me a lot about battle before I knew who and what I was." Devon said somewhat calmer than before.

"If he's had that much training then let him come along." Alex said from his seat next to Mike.

"One more can't hurt, especially against the somewhat overwhelming forces arrayed against us." Achilles said standing up.

"Ditto here, he can only help us." Deb said standing up next to Achilles.

"The more the merrier I always say." Dax said tossing in his two cents.

"Ok you come with us but you're coming as my tamer and you're not to engage in direct combat unless it's an emergency." Kithira said hugging Devon.

"There's some of our orders everyone needs to know about before we leave and it will only take a minute to cover them." Said agent Steven looking at Kithira for permission to continue.

"What are the orders?" Kithira asked almost impatiently.

"Anton Blake is our primary target, we are to S&D him. Information was received this morning by chief St. John that he is a hybrid as defined under order 123-a and has proven to be too dangerous for containment. Any questions?" Mike asked looking at the group.

"That's good enough for me." Dax said pulling out his D-arc and deck of modify cards.

"Then here's the plan, the greymon outside the unit are first targets and with any luck Blake will come out and play." Kithira said her voice flat and devoid of emotion.

"I sure hope so, I've wanted a piece of him ever since we got that report on Daryl's death and Kassy being alive the other day." Deb said as she pulled close to Achilles.

"Sorry Dad, don't mean to eat and run but duty calls." Mike said as he gave his father a hug.

"I know son, y'all take care and stop them from hurting anyone else." His father replied as they started filling out of the room.

"How much is the bill?" Dax asked pulling out his wallet.

"Don't worry about it, my sons in the same unit and that makes you family." Mikes father said waving him off.

"Family or not I always pay, even if they don't know it." Dax said laying the hundred dollar bill on the table and walking out the door after the rest of the group.

As the group walked through the main dining room the sound of explosions could be heard even over the TV and all the customers talking about the news on the TV causing the group to speed up getting outside.

Once outside.

"Ok, I'm driving, Cole, Devon and Kithira with me up front. Everyone else in the camper!" Lisa shouted as she held her hands out to Dax for the truck keys as they ran to the truck.

"Aren't we going with them?" Alex asked from Mikes left shoulder.

"Might as well." Mike replied.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Kassy yelled as Dax was holding the door to the camper open.

"Better hurry up this boats leaving real quick!" Dax said with a smile as they climbed in.

"Ok, everyone's in lets go!" Deb said through the connecting window.

Before anyone could get sat down Lisa put the truck in gear and hit the gas causing everyone standing in the camper to grab for something to hold onto to keep from falling.

"Damn! Hey Lisa you in a hurry?" Deb asked loudly.

"The sooner we get there, the better off the whole city will be!" Devon replied from the front.

"Kassy, when we get there I want you to stay close to me and not engage in battle with the greymon." Mike said as he pulled out his D-arc and card deck.

"But I can help like everyone else, why do you want me to stay back?" Kassy asked.

"Because I don't have a D-arc for you and can't use modify cards to help you in battle. Besides I don't want anything to happen to you." Mike said caressing her cheek lightly.

"I don't want anything to happen to any of us especially you Mike." Kassy replied reaching up and holding his hand.

"Oh boy! Here they go with the mushy stuff!" Alex exclaimed from Mikes shoulder.

"Alex! Behave will you for once." Mike replied as he tried to hide his embarrassment from the others.

"Look at them blush." Said Deb as Mikes face and Kassy's ears turned red.

"Can it Deb! We got more important things to worry about." Dax said as he prepared for the coming battle like Mike was.

"I was just trying to lighten the mood before we get there." Replied Deb as she too started getting ready.

"He does love her. Mister self-proclaimed bachelor has finally fallen for someone. Well I won't stop it he needs a female to be there for him. Unlike that last one that broke it off when she found out that Mike was a tamer. That one was a real nut case and gave me the creeps." Alex thought to himself as he watched their unit get ready for battle.

Up front in the cab.

"Devon make sure you have the D-arc out and some general modify cards ready when we get there. You may not have time to look through your deck and have to act fast. Remember greymon have nova blast, great horn attack and firewall for attacks besides the physical claws and stomping someone to mush under their feet. Oh, and don't discount their tail. They can whip it around and use it as a weapon to. Here pull out my deck." Lisa said as she handed her purse to him and floored the gas pedal to make a yellow light.

"And you complain about my driving! I think battling greymon would be more relaxing." Said Devon jokingly as he pulled out his mother's deck of modify cards from her purse.

"Why do you think I'm always complaining about your driving; because you even scare me sometimes." Lisa replied.

"Another two blocks should be close enough, any closer and we might lose the truck in the battle." Said Kithira as a nova blast flew by overhead.

"I don't think we're going to get another two blocks. Looks like the police have blocked the road up ahead." Lisa said spotting the police cars blocking the road.

"Pull on up to the blockade and we'll walk the rest of the way." Kithira said from the back seat.

"Cole, tell the others what's going and what we're going to do." Said Lisa as she started slowing the truck down to stop at the road block as Cole turned and stuck his head through the connecting window to tell the others.

Pulling the truck over to one side of the road block Lisa shuts the motor off and climbs out before the officers can approach the truck followed by the others. As agent Stevens hops out of the camper he sees the officers walking up and pulls out his Hypnos Id card and holds it up.

"Sorry miss but you can't park th-." Is all the officer gets out before being cut off by agent Stevens.

"I'm Agent Mike Stevens from Hypnos containment & control. We need to leave our truck here while we handle this." Mike said in a loud and clear voice.

"Sir! I've been told not to let anyone through this road block without orders." Said the officer.

"Well officer this is my authorization right here! Hypnos Containment & Control who else do you think handles champion level digimon, the U.S. Army. I think not, those boys can't handle this level of digimon." Mike said as he walked over to one of the police cars and picked up the bull horn from the hood.

"I still need some sort of confirmation to let you through the road block sir." The officer .

"Fine, here's my phone. Call my boss chief St. John on his private line. It's listed as St. Johns office. And be sure to explain to him why dozens of people are dying right now while you're keeping me from doing my job!" He shouted as he left his phone on the squad car and walked around it heading for the battle followed by the rest of the group.

Minutes later they entered the battle zone, smoke from the burning buildings dropping visibility down to less than a hundred feet.

"Ok everyone spread out and keep sharp for enemy contacts." Kithira said as she stepped over a pile of rubble.

"Hey guys, I'm sensing a lot of digimon somewhere to the left front and some more to the right." Alex said from Mikes shoulder.

"The ones on the right might be the greymon that have been doing this. I say we take them first." Deb said in almost a whisper.

"Rayne you take top guard and see if you can spot anything from upstairs." Kithira said looking over at Rayne and Dax.

"I'm on it." Rayne said as she quickly disappeared into the smoke overhead.

"I hate fighting in smoke like this." Achilles said as he helped Deb over a wrecked and twisted car.

"This is the part I hate the most when you know that the enemy is out there but can't see them." Dax said as his eyes kept looking back and forth for any sign of the enemy.

"Reminds me of the village I first saw Kithira in." Devon said to no one in particular.

"Everyone Move!" Shouted Kithira as she jumped left as a nova blast rocketed toward them out of the smoke.

Mike grabbed Kassy and dove left, Achilles grabbed Deb and jumped right as Cole was grabbing Lisa and going the same way. Devon jumped straight up and watched as the nova blast pass below his feet by a good twenty feet. On his downward plunge he grabbed what was left of a light pole and swung himself around like a gymnast on the high bar and landed deftly on top of it with his feet.

"HA ha ha, more data to load. Come on out and let's make it quick." Said the greymon as it slowly came forward out of the smoke that had obscured its position.

"What are you that blind that you can't see me? And I always heard that greymon had good eyes." Devon taunted sitting on the light pole as he reached into his gauntlets and pulled out Kit's D-arc and the prepped cards.

"We do but that's not what you should be worried about." The greymon said.

"Then it must be your bad breath, really when was the last time you used some mouth wash other than sewer water?" Asked Devon as he flipped off the light pole backwards and in mid flip swiped the first card through the D-advanced before he landed on the ground.

"Damn, Devon do you have to taunt him like that. Whats he trying to prove?" Thought Kithira to herself as she felt energy flow into her body from a modify card.

"Oh your real funny, ha ha. Now die renomon, Nova Blast!" The greymon shouted before he fired off the nova blast at Devon.

"Hyper-speed activate! Diamond Sphere!" Devon shouted as he curled into a ball as a diamond shell formed around his body.

As the power of the modify card flowed into her Kithira was already moving into attack position. The Nova blast past right over the diamond sphere that encased Devon to detonate behind him being it was aimed chest high and not lower.

"Hey ugly over here!" Kithira shouted from a building ledge just above the greymon's head causing him to look her way.

"Oh great another one." Said the greymon he saw her as he moved and stood over Devon.

"Cole get Devon out of there!" Ordered Lisa from behind the car they had leaped behind when the attack had started.

"He's ok in the diamond sphere, now stay here." Cole said as he stood up exposing himself to the greymon.

"He's right over me, here's a surprise for him." Devon thought to himself as he threw his arms and legs wide breaking the sphere.

"Ah oh, I could be in trouble time to get some help." Said the greymon when Cole stood up and realized that he was out numbered.

"Not so fast, rapid kick!" Devon shouted as he jumped up from the ground aiming for the greymon's jaw.

As if in slow motion the greymon's head pulls back just enough for Devon's kick to miss, Kithira launches herself into the air not toward Devon but toward where the greymon's head will be in seconds as he starts to turn tail and run.

"Flying kick!" Kithira shouts just before reaching the greymon.

There's the sound of Kithira's kick connecting and the greymon's head is moving back the way it came from in time for Devon to hit the greymon with a multiple kick combination on his way down. The greymon roars in pain but its not overwhelmed by the kicks and turns in defiance to face it's attackers once more. As Kithira lands on the light pole Devon used only seconds ago and Devon lands on the ground and quickly jumps away from the greymon.

"Thousand spell! Cole said as he drew a Siegel in the air with a big paint brush.

"Eden's Spear!" Rayne shouts as she plunges down out of the clouds of smoke.

Both attacks are too much for the greymon to stand as he roars in pain before his data scatters.

"That was easy only a gig or 3 more and we'll be done." Said Devon jokingly as Cole walked over to him and Kithira dropped down from the lamp pole.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Lisa asked as she ran over followed by the rest of their group.

"Simple mother, diversion tactic; I was the center of his attention which allowed Kithira, dad and Rayne to get the upper hand." Devon said smiling.

"Still there was things that greymon could have done and you would have been in a world of hurt." Mike said throwing his thoughts into the mix.

"But I-" was all Devon got out before being cut off by Kithira.

"I told you not to engage unless you had to! As my tamer it is your responsibility to help me in battle not the other way around!" Kithira said looking at Devon.

"Right now is not the time to discuss who is right and wrong, there are enemy digimon close by." Said Cole getting everyone's mind back on why they were there.

"Lets get moving the others may have heard the battle and be on their way here." Mike said as he took Kassy by the hand.

"Hold on we need to talk about what we're going to do next." Deb said looking at Kithira for an answer.

"Yes, lets plan what we're going to do first." Kithira said.

"What did it look like up there?" Dax asked Rayne.

"There's four greymon over to the right four blocks away. The others are spread out pretty thin in a circle around the unit, it looks like they're clearing a two block radius around the unit." Rayne replied.

"Anxerxes is making sure he can see anyone coming before they reach the base, it's what I would do." Said Mike from his position walking behind them with Kassy.

"With them spread out like they are, maybe we should go directly to the base and call him out?" Devon commented from one side.

"If we did that we could be surrounded and having to fight our way out also." Dax said from the left of the group.

"Rayne, how many greymon did you count?" Kithira asked.

"I saw 16 greymon and one metal greymon who seems to be leading the others." Rayne said.

"Eh, they out number us two to one thats not good." Kithira replied looking back at Rayne and the others.

"Fighting all them would leave us all way too weak to finish the job and rescue the base personal, besides we have no idea of how many digimon are inside with Blake." Achilles said.

"Take the head of the snake and the rest will scatter with no one to lead them." Said Lisa whispered.

"What was that mate?" Asked Cole.

All eyes turn to look at Lisa.

"I said, if we take the head of the snake the rest would scatter. Meaning if we get Blake the rest of the digimon will scatter. It is after all him that is leading them." Lisa said.

"The problem is getting to him. I doubt that his just going to walk out of the unit without a fight." Kithira said looking at the wall of unit #2 through the thinning smoke.

"Well he does seem all fired up about wanting to get his hands on you for some reason. Being your part of the demands he made." Mike said.

"That's because of the secret Daryl and I found out about him a months before he murdered Daryl. He didn't want it get back to Hypnos, because if it did his plans would be ruined." Kithira said as she scanned the thinning smoke for signs of more greymon.

"Surely it's not because of him being a hybrid. There has to be more than that for him to kill most of your unit." Replied Mike as he looked at her questioningly.

"It was partly about him but mostly about his plans to take over both worlds. We found out that his father is Xerxes the daemon that caused the network to crash ten years ago and also the one behind the anti-human movement that has been on the rise in the digital world in the last few years. Our last mission was to find out as much about his plans as we could." Kithira said seriously.

"Here's the way I see it, we can ether battle all these greymon and tire ourselves out. Or we can walk up to one of the gates and call him out." Mike said.

"That sounds like suicide if you ask me." Deb replied sarcastically.

"He strikes me as the type that not just wants to win a battle, but to gloat and make sure you know it." Dax said.

"From what I remember about him, he liked to play chess in the cafeteria during lunch and used to get real mad when he lost. But lord help you if he won, he never let anyone forget it when they lost to him." Cole said standing at Lisa's side.

"Typical sore loser; and has an anger management problem and more if you all remember the psychological report on him." Said Devon as he danced in place keeping his leg muscles lose.

"I got a plan, but it's going to be tricky to pull off, if anyone is interested." Said Mike as all heads turned toward him.

"Let's hear it." Said Kithira as the helicopter from channel 7 news flew overhead.

Meanwhile at Hypnos Command 4 pm. That same moment.

"There is no way we can't turn over control of the network to him. If we did that, it would leave the entire country open to attack from the digital world!" Chief St. John said as he tossed a file on his desk.

"Is there a way that we can make it appear like he has control, when we still have it? The President asked.

"Wouldn't work, he's too smart to fall for that. Anton Blake aka Anxerxes, has in depth knowledge of our systems and protocols. This makes him very dangerous no matter which world he's in." Chief St. John replied.

"Then what can we do?" The President of the United States asked.

"For now, all we can do is hope and pray that my S&D team on site gets the job done. Otherwise I might have to agree with your advisors attack plan." Chief St. John said.

"If your team fails in regaining control of the unit, I'll be left with no choice but to order an all-out bombardment of unit #2 by army forces in the region." The President said.

"And that will be my official recommendation to you madam President if it comes to that." Chief St. John replied as Drake barged into the chiefs office.

"Sorry to interrupt you chief, you need to see what's on channel 7!" Said Drake as he hurried over and turned on the chief's office TV.

As the t.v. comes to life.

"Just moments ago I spotted a group of digimon and I guess their tamers having a very heated discussion on the ground. Now it appears that they are moving toward unit #2, as to which side they're on I do not know. The scene here is just unimaginable, whole city blocks have been destroyed around unit #2. And the smoke from the fires is blocking most of what's happening on the ground from my vantage point high above in channel 7's helicopter." Floyd Benstine said as he looked out the door window.

"Excuse me! Chief, that's my friend Dax on the screen! Son of a bitch! He's alive; I knew that the report of his death was bullshit!" Drake said almost ecstatic from seeing his friend alive.

"Drake! Watch your language in front of the president! If he's a friend of yours call him and get an update of what's going on in Denver besides what we're seeing on TV." Chief St. John said.

Drakes cell phone goes off alerting him to a text message before he can do anything else. Pulling out the phone Drake steps out of the chief's office only to step back in after reading the message.

"Chief, look at this." Drake said holding his cell phone out to the chief. St. John takes the offered phone and reads the message.

"Give him all the help we can." Chief St. John said handing the phone back to Drake before turning and facing the camera.

"Madam President, that was a text message from one of my people inside unit #2. He can't help us right now but he's in a position to do something if need be." Chief St. John said.

"Do you have a plan?" Asked the president.

"Yes, yes I do. Now if you'll excuse me madam president I will get to work on just that. Unit #2 will be under our control before mid-night." Chief St. John said.

"Update me as soon as something changes." Said the president as she turned off the camera and cut the connection.

"Get strike teams 1 through 5 to the gate room and gets hold of your friend Dax and found out who's with him. You know the routine, and Drake get me some coffee in here. It's going to be a long day." Chief St. John said as he studied the lay out for unit #2 on his desk.

At unit #2 in the security room at the same time as Chief St. John is watching TV in his office.

The same news cast is watched intently by Anxerxes hoping to catch a glimpse of the group heading toward his new fortress.

"Faerthan! Get a group of digimon ready to repel this foolish group coming this way. And remind me later to load that metal greymon's data for allowing them to get this close." Anxerxes said as he watched the monitor.

"Yes, my master. I'll see to it at once." Faerthan said as he bowed, then turned and left the room.

In the corner of the room, sargent Davis watched as Anxerxes issued orders. Slowly he worked his cell phone out of his pants pocket and typed a text message, then sent it, hoping that his captors hadn't notice that he had awakened.

Outside unit #2.

"Are you sure this plan of yours is going to work?" Devon asked as he hoped over the remains of another mangled car.

"Just remember what you're to do if it works. Otherwise this is going to be the shortest offense in history." Replied agent Stevens as he walked around a pile of rubble and stopped in front of the south gate into unit #2.

"And if it doesn't the shit is going to hit the fan." Devon said as he stopped slightly behind and to the right of Agent Stevens.

"Let's just hope he takes the bait." Kithira said from the other side of agent Stevens.

"Well let's get this over with." Alex said from agent Stevens shoulder as Kassy step up between Kithira and Mike drawing stares from both of them.

"I thought I told you to wait back with the others." Kithira said annoyance in her voice.

"You did mother, but I chose to be here with Mike." Kassy said moving closer to agent Stevens.

Kithira eyes her daughter for a second and starts to say something when agent Stevens raises the bull horn in front of his mouth and keys up the bullhorn he got from the police.

"This is Agent Stevens of Hypnos, Anxerxes I'm here with Agent Kithira. Come out and lets talk about your demands." Mike said.

"Now all we can do is wait, and see if he comes out of there." Kithira said as she watched the gate and the walls to either side.

"I'm ready for whatever comes out of that gate, I've got some modify cards set up." Devon said with his paw like hands inside of each gauntlet.

"Good, now lets hope he comes out and does not send a bunch of lackeys to do his work." Said Alex from agent Stevens shoulder.

"On guard people the gates opening up!" Kithira exclaimed as she took up a battle stance.

"Lets just hope the others were able to find a working gateway and-" Is all agent Stevens got out before being interrupted.

"Bada Boom!" hollered an Impmon sending five fireballs at the group as he bounced out the gate followed by an unknown digimon.

"Scatter! Mike shouted as the fireballs fly toward the group, he tosses Alex into the air and dives for cover.

"Free thrown bomb! Exclaims the BomberNanimon as he hurls a bomb their way from behind Impmon.

Kithira and Devon jump high into the air and in unison, both of them crossing in the air and moving closer to the Impmon. Kassy caught almost off guard ducks just in time as Impmon's bada boom attack fly's over her head, and the free thrown bomb attack lands right in front of her.

"Kassy get out of there!" Mike shouts when he sees the bomb and starts running to her.

Kassy throws herself into a back flip trying to put some distance between herself and the bomb as Mike rushes toward her.

"Digi-modify! Diamond Claws Activate! Hyper Speed Activate!" Devon shouts from the left side as he jumps into the air.

On the right side Kithira feels the power of the modify card enhance her already sharp claws with the strength of diamonds.

As if in slow motion Alex watches as Mike throws himself between the bomb and Kassy and watches in horror as the bomb explodes. Mike takes the force of the blast full on and is thrown back into Kassy, knocking her off her feet.

"MIKE!" Alex shouts as he dives for his partner, his shout drawing the attention of Devon and Kithira for a second.

"Diamond Storm!" Exclaims Devon as he reaches the apex of his jump aiming for the Impmon.

Kithira on the other hand runs at the BomberNanimon, her claws gleaming in the light.

"Power Paw!" Kithira shouts when she reaches the BomberNanimon and strikes twice knocking the digimon back toward the gate.

"Hey, those claws hurt you bitch! Try this Explosive Punch!" BomberNanimon hollered throwing a punch at Kithira and missing as she stepped away.

"Ah shit I should have stayed in the digital world!" Exclaims the Impmon as the diamond storm attack hits him but doesn't destroy him.

"Yeah you should have!" Devon said as he lands next to Impmon and a second later sends him flying back over the wall of unit #2 with a well-placed kick between the uprights causing Impmon to scream in pain.

"Rapid Kick!" Shouts Kithira as she attacks BomberNanimon again, connecting and causing him to back up a step.

"Was that supposed to hurt?" BomberNanimon asked casually as he wiped off his chest.

"Oh shit! Kithira's in trouble!" Thinks Devon to himself as he pulls out his modify cards and D-arc and looks at the cards he has ready for this situation.

"Well then, I'm just getting started." Kithira said as she circled him.

"So am I! Free thrown bomb, free thrown bomb!" BomberNanimon shouted tossing two bombs at Kithira.

"Digi-modify! WarGreymons Shield Activate!" Shouted Devon as the bombs flew through the air toward Kithira and the shield appeared in her hands.

"Here's some for you to! Free thrown bomb!" Shouted BomberNanimon throwing a bomb at Devon as the other two impacted and exploded on the shield protecting Kithira.

"Diamond Shield!" Shouted Devon as he jumped away from the bomb and curling into a ball as the diamond shield formed around him

After the bombs explode on the shield Kithira takes the shield and throws it like a Frisbee at BomberNanimon and then jumps away.

"Clang!" The sound of metal hitting metal is heard.

"Thanks for the shield Renamon. But I don't need it, Here take it back!" BomberNanimon said as he throws the shield back at Kithira.

Kithira dodges right as the shield flies toward her just barely avoiding taking her head off but clips her shoulder drawing blood. Kithira growls in rage from the pain and changes direction again, the hyper speed power boost making her a blur of movement.

"Damn that was close! That hurt but not as bad as it could have been." Kithira thought to herself as she maneuvered for another attack. And so did BomberNanimon but not at Kithira or Devon instead he was setting his sights on the three a short ways away.

Almost a mile away as the battle is going on.

"There's an internet cafe, they should have a gateway we can use." Dax said as they crossed the street holding up traffic.

"I hope the chief's plan works or this is going to be a real short trip." Rayne said from behind him.

"I still don't like leaving Devon behind, I wish he was with us." Lisa said looking up at Cole.

"He's not going to leave his mate you know that. Nor more would I under the current circumstances." Cole replied.

"Kit kat can handle a lot of stuff, Devon's better there with her than here with us going to the digital world." Deb said as they entered the internet cafe.

"Welcome to Reds Internet Cafe, Can I help you all?" The saleswomen asked from behind the counter as they walked in.

"Do you have a digital gateway on site?" Dax asked looking around.

"Yes, we do. But it's-" Is all she can get out before Dax cuts her off.

"Hypnos official business where is it?" Dax asked rather impatient.

"Behind the wall and to the left." She said pointing to the small wall that jutted out from the stores side wall into the main area.

"Thanks." Is all Dax said as he headed for the wall and disappeared behind the wall followed by the others including the saleswomen.

Behind the wall Dax gets on the keyboard and starts typing his id and password into the system. The system comes to life as his id is confirmed.

"Well everyone on the pad and let's get out of here." Dax said waving everyone to get on the transport pad. Once all of them are on the pad, Dax hits the button that will send the group to the digital world and steps on the pad with the others very quickly. The saleswomen watches as they fade out to nothing and then the gateway resumes lock down mode.

Close by on the battle field.

"MIKE! Come on Mike! Wake up buddy, come on you got to wake up!" Alex said almost hysterical as he shook Mike by a shoulder.

A soft groan comes from Agent Stevens as he slowly starts to regain consciousness, and rolls over as Kassy pushes him off of her.

"What happened? What's wrong with Mike?" Kassy asked looking up at Alex.

"He took the brunt of the attack protecting you from BomberNanimon's attack." Alex replied looking over Mike for any wounds.

"Alex we've got to get Mike out of here, and I mean now!" Kassy said as she jumped up, then tried to pick up agent Stevens.

"Trying to leave so soon, ah come on I'm just getting started." BomberNanimon said as he readied another attack, drawing Alex's attention.

"YOU HURT MICHEAL!" Alex said looking up at BomberNanimon.

"Good he's a pathetic human that shouldn't have gotten involved." Replied BomberNanimon as he closed the distance between himself and Alex.

"Take care of Mike. I'll take care of BomberNanimon." Said Alex looking at Kassy then leaping into the air at BomberNanimon surrounded by a bright glowing light.

"Free Thrown Bomb! Free Thrown Bomb!" Shouts BomberNanimon hurling two bombs at Alex a second apart.

From Kassy's position next to Mike, she watches as the bombs fly's straight and true. Both bombs explode at point blank in front of Alex. Alex screams as the blast hits him and knocks him back to land beside Mike and Kassy.

"A bunch of rookies is what they send against me! Don't they have anything better to offer?" BomberNanimon asked almost laughing.

Elsewhere nearby.

Devon shatters the diamond shield upon hearing Alex scream and looks around in time to see Kassy picking up Alex. Reaching into his gauntlets he pulls out the stack of cards and D-advanced, looking through the cards he sees the tip of a blue card in the stack. Pulling out the blue card a thought comes to him.

"Kit! No questions! Check your deck!" Devon shouts holding up a blue card as he starts moving toward her.

Kithira looks at Devon and nods pulling out her deck Kithira finds a matching blue card and holds it up for Devon to see as he reaches her side.

"Great time to take this to the next level. Swipe them together on three, look at the screen then shove the D-advanced back into our gauntlets fast. Three, two, one, swipe!" Devon said as he swiped the card through the D-advanced.

Almost in unison they swipe the cards through the D-advances, check the screens, then shove them into their gauntlets. In one voice as the light of digivolution surrounds them.

"Digi-modify! Digivolution Activate!" They both shout.

"Renamon digivolve to Kyubimon!" Shouts Kithira as the digivolution process starts.

"Renomon digivolve to Armor Kyubomon!" Shouts Devon as the power of the card flows into him.

Back over where agent Stevens, Kassy and Alex are.

Kassy picks up Alex and takes him close to agent Stevens as he comes fully awake.

"Alex! Oh Alex, what happened to you?" Mike asked as he takes Alex from Kassy's arms.

"Yeah, buddy. Not bad for our first battle together?" Asked Alex as he looked up at Mike and then to Kassy as parts of his body started to fade away.

"Alex hold on, let me get out the cards so I can help you." Mike replied as he tried to get his deck out of it's belt case.

"No buddy it's too late for that. Besides I was only meant to be here until your true partner showed up." Alex replied looking up at Mike then over at Kassy.

"What do you mean by that? Mike asked somewhat confused by what Alex was saying.

"Kassy loves you in away I can't, you love her in away that you can't love me. You to are meant for each other. Now give me to Kassy there's one thing I have to do before it's too late." Alex said as his form started to fade even more.

Mike honoring his best friends request holds him up for Kassy to hold, tears running down his cheeks.

"Alex you can't leave! We've just got to know each other." Kassy said as she took him from Mike.

"Kassy I can't be reborn here in a digi-egg, nor can I return there in time, I've lost too much data by now. So here's my last gift and request to the both of you. Kassy load my data, love Mike for the both of us." Alex said as he looked up at her for the last time and made a wish with the last of his breath before closing his eyes. Holding Alex's body close to hers Kassy feels his body slowly merging with her; his remaining power flowing throughout her body strengthening her. In front of Mike a gold D-arc appears floating and slowly drops into his hand.

"This is the only wish I ever made, for you two to be partners." Alex's ghostly voice says as the light from his D-arc on Mike's belt goes dark forever.

Wrapping her arms around Mike, Kassy looks into his eyes.

"Let's finish this for Alex, partner!" She said pulling away.

Pulling himself to his feet, Mike takes Alex's D-arc off his belt and hooks the gold one on the ring with it. He then pulls out his deck of modify cards and pulls the top ten cards from the deck and returns the rest to his belt pouch.

"For Alex!" Mike shouts as he swipes the first card.

Kassy watches as Mike swipes the card and then feels the power of the card flow into her along with the all the raw emotions Mikes going through with the loss of Alex.

"Oh! This is almost as good as mating!" Thinks Kassy with the influx of power floods her body making it glow.

"Digi-modify! Eden's Javelin Activate!" Shouts Mike as tears still roll down his cheeks.

"Too much power! TO MUCH POWER! I, I CAN"T! NOT I, WE!" Kassy said shaking her head back and forth as her voice going from normal to a shout as she stepped over and pulled Mike to her as the blinding bright light envelopes them.

Inside Unit #2 security control room.

"Faerthan you have my permission to load that coward Impmon's data. Send out biker boy and a few of the Cherrymon to clean up that mess him and BomberNanimon made of it at the east gate." Ordered Anxerxes as he watched the battle on the monitor. Behind him in the corner sargent Davis looked down at his cell phone's display.

"Team in-bound from digital world we need the gateway access code for the unit. Can you get it?" The text message asked on the screen.

Looking over at the monitor that showed the gate rooms computer screen. Sargent Davis types in the current code and sends it.

Seconds later the vibrate goes off on his phone, alerting him of another message.

"Understood, helps coming." Is all the second message said.

Back outside the east gate.

"What the Fuck!" Exclaims BomberNanimon as three digivolutions happen around him, his eyes looking back and forth watching.

As the light dies away from the first two digivolving he sees a normal Kyubimon and another that looks like a Kyubimon but very different. That one is not only bigger by almost half again the size a normal Kyubimon, but had nasty looking high polished armor with spikes all over it ranging from 6 inches to 2 feet. All of them covered with different colored substances. The colors on some leaving no doubt to being deadly poison. The armor itself covered him completely from nose tip to the tip of every one of his nine tails without seams or any kinks in the armor to be exploited for weakness, yet he seemed to be able to move as if it was silk covering his body and not the smooth near blinding armor. Standing over 10 feet tall and snarling made for an impressive if not a down right frightening sight.

"Digivolving won't help you for the pain I'm going to inflict on you and will still hurt just as much." BomberNanimon said as he drew back his arms to throw some more bombs at them. Only to have his arms grabbed from behind.

"We may have something to say about that." a voice dark said and guttural.

"What the!" Exclaimed BomberNanimon as his arms were jerked into a new position they never were meant to be in with a sickening snap and pop.

"You killed Alex, now you pay the price." Said the same dark, guttural raging voice as he picked up BomberNanimon and slammed him into the ground in front of the dark digimon like a rag doll.

"Hey, I'm just following orders!" Shouts BomberNanimon helplessly as he looks upward to see the results Digivolution he missed and knew true fear. "Dark S-Sakuy-

"Soul Stealing Revenge Attack!" the Dark Digimon exclaimed sending a bolt of dark energy into BomberNanimon. When it hits, BomberNanimon is almost instantly deleted. And his data is absorbed by the Dark Digimon with an evil gleam in his eyes. His eyes barely seen through the helm, black orbs with blood red irises that were filled with the need for revenge and hate. A horrifying chuckle was heard from the Dark Digimon..

"Now for your master!" The Dark Digimon Said angrily as he looked at the now open gate of unit #2.

The Silver Renamon Series

Chapter 10 Part 2:

The Battle for Life or Death: The Showdown

At Unit #2 main gate:

Devon starred in shock as the unknown digimon destroyed BomberNanimon with a single attack. And felt Kithira's uneasiness.

"What's wrong Kithira." Devon asked Kithira

"That is what's wrong. Mike and Kassy by the gods they've dark digivolved into Dark Sakuymon. And now if they attack us we may have to destroy them. They are now no longer on our side, not exactly anyway." Kithira answered with both fear and regret in her voice.

"What are you talking about! That's Kassy and Mike we can't destroy them! They are our friends!-" began Devon out loud but was quickly silenced my Kithira.

"You are still young and naive, about a great many things concerning the darker side of the digimon world. Your mother did you a disservice by overly protecting you from it-- NO!" Kithira admonished Devon gently then was suddenly was being held up by her neck by the Dark Sakuymon.

"You think you can stop us? You are either with us or against us! We will destroy Anxerxes. If you get in our way you fall with him. But as I recall you have the same goals as we do. So I believe we should get going before we are discovered. I don't relish the idea of facing Anxerxes weak as a kit because of a few of Anxerxes minions decided to get annoying." Dark Sakuymon said coldly before putting Kithira down and heading inside, giving Devon and Kithira no choice but to follow with worried hearts and a lot of misgivings.

In the digital world.

"Damn! I forgot what it's like to come here." Lisa said picking herself up from the ground with Cole's help.

"Yeah the ride is ok, it's just the landings that suck" Said Dax dropping down from the boulder he landed on.

"It could be worse, we could have landed in a lake. Is everyone alright?" Achilles asked walking up with Deb on his arm.

"We're ok, Lisa just got surprised by the abrupt landing that's all. I on the other hand am used to it." Cole replied shrugging his shoulders as he dusted himself off.

"Same here." Rayne said dropping off the same boulder behind Dax.

"Good, let me get a fix on the gateway for unit #2 and we'll head out." Dax said pulling out his D-arc and hitting the scan button.

"Well at least the sky hasn't changed much since the last time I was here." Commented Lisa looking up at the multi colored sky overhead.

"On this layer, all the digimon are fortunate. Other layers are nothing more than dead lands devoid of all life anymore, this ongoing war between the digimon has taken it's toll on the digital world in many ways." Said Cole his tone sad but hardened from the years of fighting.

"Well at least now we know of who's behind all of this we just have to get into unit #2." Deb said looking at Cole.

"Ok, I got a trace on the gateway it's that way about two miles and down about thirty feet." Dax said pointing in the direction of the gateway.

"Then lets move, there's no telling how it's going for the others in the real world about now." Said Lisa heading the way he pointed.

"Everyone keep eyes and ears open, Anxerxes might have left some guarding the gateway." Cole cautioned as they started walking.

"True but if they did then they'll be in a world of hurt when the other team shows up along with us." Rayne replied taking a quick glance over a boulder.

"Enough chatter, let's get the job done." Dax said advancing down the canyon.

Meanwhile inside the gates of unit #2

Beelzemon watches as BomberNanimon was deleted by Dark Sakuymon's attack, and then her picking up the Kyubimon. Some words are said but he is unable to hear them from this distance. Shortly Dark Sakuymon lets the Kyubimon go and they turn toward the gate walking his way.

"Oh Shit! I think the boss can handle this himself." Beelzemon said looking up at the Cherrymon gathered inside the courtyard.

"You stay and fight like the rest of us or I'll load your data myself!" The Cherrymon in the lead of the other five Cherrymon said.

"Load your own data! I'm not sticking around to fight a dark digimon! Even with your help! I'm out of here!" Beelzemon said climbing on his motorcycle and burning rubber toward the open gate.

"Coward!" One of the Cherrymon shouted as Beelzemon speeds off.

Outside the gate Beelzemon power slides to a stop in front of the two Kyubimon and Dark Sakuymon.

Dark Sakuymon holds up her right hand as it starts to glow.

"Hold it! My fights not with you! I'm leaving! I just came here to find my tamer!" Beelzemon shouted hoping for mercy.

"Then leave already, or I'll load your data also!" Replies Dark Sakuymon her hand not wavering.

"I'm going, right now." Beelzemon said revving the throttle and swerving around them heading into the city.

As Beelzemon goes past them Dark Sakuymon turns her hand following him till he's out of sight obscured by the smoke of the fires in the area around unit #2.

"Why did you let him go?" Devon asked.

"Why not, he's not the one I'm after. His boss is the one I want." Replied Dark Sakuymon as she continued toward the gate.

"It does make sense, I imagine many of Anxerxes followers where promised their wildest dreams if they flocked to his call." Kithira said.

"It explains how he was able to get an army of digimon to follow him." Replied Devon flanking behind and to the right of Dark Sakuymon as Kithira did on the other side.

Stopping short of the gate Dark Sakuymon pulls her hands together in front of her and they begin glowing with power.

"What's she doing?" Thinks Devon as he watches the sphere of energy grow in her hands.

"Tsunami Force!" Dark Sakuymon shouts pushing the sphere of energy towards the gates.

When the sphere gets three feet away from her it spreads outward in a cone of bright energy toward the gate. When it hits, the gate and some of the wall on either side of the gate disappears in the explosion. Pieces of the gate and wall hurtle into the courtyard catching the gathered Cherrymon off guard.

"Knock! Knock!" Dark Sakuymon shouts as she charges into the court yard with Kithira and Devon on her heels.

All of the Cherrymon look dazed from the blast as the trio run in.

The two groups stare at each other for a second before the loud speaker on the wall forces them to act.

"What are you Cherrymon waiting for? Attack them!" Anxerxes shouted over the loud speaker.

"I got left!" Kithira shouts moving off to the left side.

"That's one hell of a knock! I got right!" Devon replied moving to the right.

"And I'll gladly take the middle." Dark Sakuymon said as she pulls out a wicked looking spear. (see Sakuymon's spear from season three but black with blood red runes etched into the length of the spear.)

"CHERRYMON'S ATTACK!" the Cherrymon shouts in the center.

In seconds cherrybombs start flying through the air at the trio.

"Talisman Sphere!" Dark Sakuymon shouts as the cherrybombs fly toward her and bounce off the sphere to explode harmlessly away from her as she walks forward toward the Cherrymon that gave the order to attack.

"Foxtail Inferno!" Kithira shouted hitting the nearest Cherrymon to her.

"Oh, Stop! That tickles!" The Cherrymon shouted that Kithira attacked.

"Were in trouble, these Cherrymon are stronger than they look!" Kithira hollers.

On the other side of the court yard Devon swings wide right and then pours on the speed with Kithira's shout. And diving in between the formation of cherrymon's, Devon swipes claws at a cherrymon as he passes and skids to a stop in the middle of them.

"Armor Spike attack!" Shouts Devon loudly.

All over his body the spikes sticking out of his armor detach and fly in all directions, some hitting the cherrymon's. As the spikes strike the cherrymon, Devon smiles almost evilly as the toxin coated spikes embed themselves into the cherrymon around him.

"Hey them spikes hurt! Try this for size!" Said a voice behind Devon just before one of the cherrymon's roots wrap around one Devon's rear legs and lifts him off the ground.

"Fuck! That ain't all I got shit head!" Shouts Devon as the cherrymon grabs his forelegs with its branches.

"Give up and I'll let him live!" The cherrymon shouted toward Kithira and Dark Sakuymon.

"Not going to happen!" Dark Sakuymon replied stepping closer to the line of cherrymon.

"What's wrong with me? I don't feel so good." One of the cherrymon said just before toppling over.

Devon watches as the one holding him leaves start to turn brown and fall off.

"What! My leaves are falling off, what did you do to me?" The cherrymon asks holding Devon as his branches start to wither up.

"Oh, I thought you knew. My spikes are poisoned!" Replied Devon as he flex's his muscles and breaks free.

Two more cherrymon topple over falling prey to Devon's poisoned spikes.

"Enough toying around!" says Kithira as she jumps into the air.

"Dragon Wheel! She shouts as she rises into the air and begins spinning end over end surrounded by cold blue flames. The front of the flames takes on the appearance of a dragons head and flames spew forth from its mouth enveloping the nearest cherrymon setting it on fire.

"I'm burning! I'm burning!" Shouts the cherrymon as it runs around in a circle before falling over its data scattering on the winds.

The cherrymon that had Devon topples over backward as his trunk withered. And as his data started to scatter Devon draws it into himself and his armor shines even brighter.

"That's what I was thinking Kithira; enough with the toying around!" Dark Sakuymon said looking at the last two cherrymon standing in front of her.

The two cherrymon glance at each other before turning to charge her.

"If that's the way you want it, Dark Spirit attack!" Her voice rising to a shout as she unleashes one of her stronger attacks.

The cherrymon had no chance to avoid the attack as it surrounds them and breaks the binds of their code and releases their data for her load.

"Well that's eight down and how many left to go before we get to Anxerxes?" Devon asked walking over to Kithira.

"I don't care how many of them are left, I just want Anxerxes! You hear me! Anxerxes I'm out here! Now come out and face me like a digimon and quit hiding like a scared rookie!" Dark Sakuymon shouted looking up at one of the many security cameras in the courtyard.

Inside the security room Anxerxes watches the monitor of the court yard and listens to Dark Sakuymon's speech.

"We'll see little dark digimon, we'll see. Faerthan! Get every digimon into the courtyard and capture these three alive! I want to destroy them myself!" Anxerxes said.

"I'll see that it's done at once, most evil of digimon." Replied Faerthan as he ran for the door.

"Faerthan, stop trying to kiss my ass and do what you're told! Or I'll find another to take your place! Now go!" Anxerxes said as he back to watching the monitors.

Faerthan scurries out of the security room quickly, shuddering with the thought of his data being loaded by Anxerxes.

In the corner Sargent Davis typed a message on his phone and hit the send button.

Back in the digital world:

"How much farther is this gateway?" Asked Lisa as she stepped around another boulder on the floor of the canyon followed by Cole.

"Not far now, we should be almost there." Dax replied from the lead.

"Good, I wonder how the others are doing back in the real world. To be honest I'm worried about them." Lisa said.

"Well if they did like we planned out they should have Anxerxes too busy to worry about the gateway room, which will make our job a lot easier in the long run." Rayne said from on top of a boulder.

"I just hope the teams from Hypnos show up like chief St. John said they would. Otherwise this is going to be one hell of a cluster fuck when we get into unit #2 through the gateway." Dax said as he stepped around the last bend in the canyon.

"Halt! Hypnos agents identify yourselves!" A male voice shouted from around the bend.

"Agent Dax with Agents Deb, Lisa and our digimon partners" Dax replied from the lead.

"Good, Chief St. John told us to wait for you all before we went through the gateway. I'm agent Jennings and this is my partner Sam." Jennings said.

"Is the gateway secure enough for us to go through?" Lisa asked with Cole in tow.

"The two digimon that Anxerxes left here gave up without a fight almost half an hour ago." Agent Jennings replied with a smile.

"Well I can guess they didn't want to fight 18 digimon and 18 humans at once. Kind of bad odds 36 to 2, now that's what I call a long shot. Guess it's a good thing we're not in Vegas." Deb said jokingly.

"Well here's the inmate list of unit #2 as of last night." Agent Jennings said handing a paper to Dax.

Dax looked it over before handing it off to Deb and Lisa to look at.

"Not much there this is very honestly a surprise for this time of year." Dax said.

"That's because Hypnos moved the real bad digimon to a new location up in Alaska last month. Unit #2 was to be closed in two months with all the inmates ether sent back to the digital world or moved to other units. And it's a good thing the real bad ones weren't at the unit with this Anxerxes taking it over last night." Agent Jennings replied.

"Then we are looking at maybe 30 to 40 digimon following Anxerxes, 50 at the most but probably less." Lisa said.

"If it's less then we don't have anything to worry about. Both these teams are battle tested and been together for some time. They know what to do when the time comes." Agent Jennings said gesturing toward the gathered teams.

"We're ready whenever you are agent Jennings." Dax said with Rayne by his side.

"Then lets get this party started! Assault team one your up. Team two through four as soon as they clear the pad your up fifteen seconds behind them. You all can join up with team five and six when they are up. Remember everyone clear the pad as soon as your there! If don't want anyone landing on you that is." Agent Jennings said shouting so the teams could hear him.

"Sorry, we'll be going with the first team, not waiting around for the fifth team." Lisa replied looking up at Cole, Cole just nodded his approval.

"I have my orders from the chief, you all are to let us go first and then come after we have the gate room secure." Agent Jennings said.

"Listen my son and his partner are right now attacking unit #2 from the city. I understand the chief's orders but I'm not waiting! And neither is Alpha team which my son's partner belongs to. Come on let's get this done so we can go home." Cole said stepping around agent Jennings with Lisa, Dax, Deb, Rayne, and Achilles following him.

"Alright get on the pad with team one, but it's your asses on the line if the chief jumps my ass." Agent Jennings said as they stepped on the pad.

"Pad activation in 3, 2, 1, transport!" One of the team members said operating the gateway.

The cement walls of the gateway room inside of unit #2 snapped into existence around them. Before Lisa or Cole had a chance to move team one had cleared the pad and was engaged with the two digimon guards by the door.

"Clear the pad next teams coming!" Dax warned moving off the pad followed by Rayne and the others.

Seconds later:

"That's two digimon out of the way, hallways clear." Said one of the members of team one.

"Cole, take out that security camera quickly!" Lisa said pointing up in the corner of the room.

"On it." Cole replied leaping over the gateway control pedestal and knocking the camera off the wall with a well-placed paw.

Teams two through four appeared on the pad and quickly cleared it to make room for the last two teams to come through the gateway.

"Hypnos control, gateway room is under our control. All teams heading to their primary objectives now, status report in ten minutes." Agent Jennings said as he hand signaled the team leaders to move out.

As the teams moved out into the hall way team four popped the cover off of the air vent on the wall and climbed in. The leader of team six opened the control pedestal for the gateway and flipped the main circuit breaker to the off position, then closed the panel.

"Team six guard this room! Alpha team you're with me!" Agent Jennings said before he walked out the door.

In the security office;

Sargent Davis watched as the first of the teams appeared in the gateway room, then the camera went black as a big paw hit it. Smiling he watched as Anxerxes left the security room.

"Let the battle begin." Thought Sargent Davis as he opened a hatch on the floor next to him and dropped through it. The hatch closing behind him as he landed on the floor of emergency tunnel. Gaining his feet, he quickly walks down the tunnel.

"Head for the safe room, get some gear from the armory there and then team up with those units that just came in through the gateway." Sargent Davis thought to himself as he opened one security door and kept moving.

Elsewhere in the unit:

Team three in pairs entered containment wing one.

"By the numbers people, check all the cells and cages. Curly, you and Joe guard the door, Eve and Max upper level, Griff and Patton main floor while Joker and I check the control room. Sweep and secure the wing, squawk me when you're finished." Agent Young said into the sub dermal microphone to his radio.

Two minutes later team three is back where they started at the door to the wing.

"I just don't get it, all the cells and cages are empty." Eve said as agent Young came out of the control room followed by Joker his digimon partner.

"What's not to get, Anxerxes has recruited them into his army or loaded their data; that or one of the other digimon with him." Agent Young replied.

"Well if that's the case then our job got a lot easier." Replied Eve as she glanced out the door of the wing.

"Lets continue our sweep." Agent Young said motioning with his hand for the unit to move out the door.

"Team four, all sections clear. Escape route beta is a 'GO' Moving to secondary objectives." Came the voice of team fours leader over the radio.

"Understood, all teams report." Agent Jennings said as his team along with unit 2 and alpha proceeded down one of the many maintenance corridors.

"Team three continuing sweep, nothing so far." Agent Young said into his microphone.

"Team five in position and holding, Sir you are not going to believe what's going on in the main courtyard." Said team fives team leader.

"What have you got?" Agent Jennings asked over the radio.

"Sir, I got visual on two Kyubimon and one unknown digimon standing there as approximately 30 digimon surround them. Looks like a show down of some sort." Replied team fives leader.

"Team Two! Check the armory and safe room! All other teams converge on the courtyard! Do not engage unless attacked." Agent Jennings said into his microphone before looking back at the rest of his team and alpha.

"Looks like we found what we came for! Let's move people!" Agent Jennings said before opening a door into the main corridor of the unit and rushing through.

A few paces back Lisa looked up at Cole with a knowing look on her face.

"They're still alive, that gives us a chance to win." Cole said as he looked down at her.

Not saying a thing Lisa pulls out her D-arc and deck of modify cards and begins to run after Agent Jennings. Behind her the others follow suit and prepare their D-arc's and decks of cards also.

In the courtyard:

Kassy, Devon and Kithira stand back to back as Anxerxes forces surround them.

"Looks like we have a nice mix here, I see from rookies to ultimate. At least there's no mega's, if there was I would start worrying." Devon said in a whisper to Kithira.

"Don't forget love, any of these may become mega's or even be mega's hiding their true form from us." Replied Kithira as she felt Kassy move into a better position behind her.

"Well look what we have here. The one digimon in this world I hate more than any other." Anxerxes said from the catwalk over head.

Kithira looked at Devon then Dark Sakuymon then up at Anxerxes.

"It's over Anxerxes! Order your forces to stand down, Now!" Kithira shouted.

"Oh, you're so very wrong on that point. The way I see it, it's you that needs to give up. We have thirty five of us against the three of you." Anxerxes replied smiling.

"I see your time in the mental ward didn't improve your disposition, nor your looks." Kithira replied.

"And I see you're still the trying to be the head bitch for Hypnos." Anxerxes replied with a sneer as he walked along the catwalk.

"ANXERXES! Shut your mouth you scum sucking bastard!" Devon shouted as he took a step forward.

"Ohh, the puppy is mad. Sorry but I didn't catch your name, not that it matters." Anxerxes said, feigning being afraid.

"Devon! Let me handle this!" Kithira said stepping in front of Devon and pushing him back a step or two.

"Oh, like you handled getting me kicked out of Hypnos years ago. But that wasn't enough for you, or Hypnos oh no. You and them had me committed to a mental hospital! Which I suffered in for years before the doctors let me out. And don't even get me started on your partner, the major kiss ass that he was. It felt good to shove my blade into his back and twist it just like he did to me years ago. And shortly it will be your turn!" Anxerxes ranted looking down at the three of them.

"That's if I don't destroy you first!" Kassy growled from behind Devon and Kithira.

"And whom would you be dark digimon? And why are you siding with these losers? I thought a dark one such as you would be on my side." Anxerxes asked looking at Kassy.

"You really don't recognize me, well I'm the viximon you left alive while my father died in a pool of his own blood. With your blade as you put it sticking out of his back." Kassy replied, her features moving to a mask of rage with the memory of Daryl dying in front of her.

"So, you are Kithira and Daryl's pup. Knew I should have killed you then but Xerxes told me to leave you be. (chuckling) So here we are, it's really ironic. Years ago I suffered under your mother and fathers training and criticism. In revenge I killed him in the digital world but missed killing Kithira. But who are you?" Anxerxes asked pointing at Devon.

"I'm your worst nightmare, you twisted bastard. I'm Daryl's younger brother Devon Thackry and Kithira's mate and partner! And I will hunt you in both worlds until his death is avenged." Replied Devon his voice taking on a sinister tone to it.

"What! Me fear a pup like you, you're really can't be serious?" Anxerxes laughed at Devon before continuing. "Besides you are a hybrid like me, why not join with me and we'll take Hypnos down once and for all! They'll do you like they did to me; cast me aside like yesterday's trash." Said Anxerxes as he pushed a unsuspecting digimon off the catwalk to fall to the ground in front of them.

The digimon quickly regained it's feet and ran over to a stair case to rejoin the others on the catwalk above them.

"What happens after the battle is done and my brother is avenged I care not. Alive or dead your not leaving here as long as I have something to say about it. Now come on Anton, let's end this banter and end this here and now!" Devon responded his voice almost a shout when he finished.

On the catwalk Anxerxes held onto the railing so tight that the metal rail started to bend in his hands. His body twitched with anger, his face a mask of rage from Devon's words. Faerthan took a step away from Anxerxes wary of his master lashing out at him in anger.

"Faerthan! Call the Greymon back from destroying the city! Now everyone destroy this loud mouth pup and the other one and bring his bitch to me alive!" Anxerxes shouted.

In the guard tower:

Team five's leader watches the scene unfolding below him.

"Ah, Shit! This is fixing to get real ugly and real quick. Mark you and Kira keep an eye out for them Greymon. Steph, you and Cobra take the left side of the catwalk to the other tower. Billie you and Goof are backup in case this gets as ugly as I think it will." He said to his team before keying his sub dermal microphone.

"Team Five to lead, Looks like it's about to get ugly down there! Do we have a green light!" He said into the sub dermal microphone.

"Lead to all teams, position report!" Agent Jennings said as they reached the main doors to the courtyard.

"Team Two, we just reached the armory and found one of the guards gearing up. Said he was the one that called command. What should I do with him?" the leader asked of team two.

"Team three, in position and holding by the guards entrance." Came the voice of team three's leader over the ear bud speaker.

"Team four, at south courtyard entrance and holding." Responded a voice in his ear.

"Lead to team five. If he's up to it take him along. We can always use another set of hands. Team One is in position with Alpha by the main doors into the courtyard. Hold until I have Alpha identify the friendlies in the courtyard." Responded Agent Jennings as he looked to Lisa.

Lisa moves over to the small window in the door and looks through the window. She motions for Cole to take a look and steps aside for him.

"Agent Jennings, tell your teams that the two Kyubimon and the one with them right now are friendly, all others are hostile." Cole said moving away from the door.

"Lead to all teams! We have confirmation! Friendlies in courtyard are two Kyubimon and the one standing behind them. We go on my count!" Agent Jennings said into the microphone.

"Five to lead! Hostiles on the ground! Heading your way! Ah, Shit! Lead it's going ugly, do we have a green light?" Asked team fives leader.

"Green light, Hostiles only!" Said Agent Jennings just before he kicked the double doors open into the courtyard and ran out followed by his team and the rest of alpha team.

In the courtyard seconds before:

"What are you Mon's waiting for? Attack!" Faerthan shouted at the gathered digimon on the catwalk.

"Ok, they want a fight of it. Lets give them one! Dragon Helix!" Dark Sakuymon shouted from behind Devon and Kithira, sending an attack at Faerthan.

Faerthan dives behind a mummymon before Dark Sakuymon's attack can hit him the mummymon isn't fast enough to dodge and takes her attack full on. The mummymon's data explodes outward as the attack deletes him. Faerthan sees this, quickly gets up and runs down the catwalk.

"Master, Save Me!" Faerthan shouts running away.

"Kill them or I'll delete you!" Shouts Anxerxes as he forms a glowing ball of energy in the palm each of his hands.

Some of the digimon hearing this jump down into the courtyard and form a half circle around Kithira, Devon and Dark Sakuymon. Some stand their ground and prepare to attack. Eleven of the ones on the ground run for the gate instead of attacking as ordered. Devon starts to chase them but is held by Dark Sakuymon's hand on his shoulder.

"Let the cowards go, Hypnos can round them up later." She said her blood red eyes watching the ones in front of them.

"Cowards! I'll load your data for this betrayal!" Anxerxes shouted before throwing the balls of power from his hands at the trio below him.

"Oh no you don't! Talisman spell!" Shouts Dark Sakuymon as she sees Anxerxes attack coming and knocks aside Devon before the attack can land. Her shield spell turns aside Anxerxes attack and it flies off to hit the courtyard wall blasting a hole into the concrete.

As Anxerxes attack is deflected away, all around the courtyard, agents of Hypnos with their partner digimon storm into the courtyard.

"ATTACK!" An Apemon shouts seeing the intruders and fires off his strongest attack at the nearest of them.

Chaos ensues with the arrival of Hypnos C&C teams. Multiple fights breakout at once all over the courtyard. Some of the gathered digimon seeing the Hypnos teams scatter, many dive for open doorways back into the unit, others run for the gate. While some attack instead of running away.

Lisa, quickly slides a card through her D-arc as she runs out the door way following Agent Jennings and his partner Sam.

"Greymons Armor, activate!" Shouts Lisa as a blast spirals in toward Cole from the catwalk above him.

Cole holds up the shield one handed and deflects the blast skyward.

"Talisman Star!" Shouts Cole as he throws out his right hand sending hundreds of red colored stars at the digimon above them.

Some digimon fall under his attack, others dodge it and some bat it away like an annoying fly.

Sam, Jennings digimon puts a quick end to the digimon that was outside of the door. And digivolved as he loads the defeated digimons data. Cole looks over at the newly evolved digimon quickly and nods.

"Look out!" Cole hollers at Sam as a digimon jumps off of the catwalk aiming for Sam's back.

Sam Spins left and unleashes his new attack Lightning Blade catching the diving digimon in midair. The digimon lands on the ground literally beside itself, in two pieces as it's data starts to scatter.

Rayne leaps into the air as she exits the doorway and is almost immediately attacked by a dark angewomon. Rayne dodges left and gets some distance from the dark angewomon. They circle each other looking for an opening to attack the other. From below them a ball of energy flies between them blocking their view of the other for a second. Taking the chance Rayne dives below the ball looking for her opponent and ends up face to face with her enemy.

"Lift your spirits!" Rayne shouts as she does a back flip kicking her opponent square in the face with both feet sending her falling toward the courtyard below.

The dark Angewomon recovers twenty feet above the ground.

"Ok bitch! Take this! Hell's curse!" She shouts releasing an attack against Rayne.

"Rayne drop! Power of the Digigods activate!" Dax shouts from the ground.

Rayne follows Dax's command as the power of the card flows into her.

"Celestial Arrow!" Rayne shouts as the light of digivolution glows around her.

Her arrow flies true hitting the dark angewomon in the chest with almost no effect at first.

"Was that supposed to hurt?' the dark angewomon shouts from bellow.

"SHATTER! DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!" shouts Rayne as she can't hold back the power of the card forcing her to evolve to her next level.

Below the dark angewomon smirks just before a bright light comes from under her armor.

"What's going on!" she shouts, worry in her voice as the light begins to spread to other parts of her armor.

The smirk on her face turns to fear as cracks begin to appear in her armor and the along her arms and legs.

"No it can't be! I refuse to die like thi-" is all she gets out before her body shatters into thousands of pieces before her data scatters on the wind.

Up in the air the glowing form of Rayne changes as the digivolution transforms her body. In a flash a new digimon flies in her place, Magnadramon.

Magnadramon is the form of a Chinese dragon, long of body like the drawings from times long past. Dax watches as the glow fades away and points his D-arc up at Rayne's new form scanning her.

Magnadramon

Level: Mega

Attacks: Fire Tornado, Dragon Fire, Hermit fog.

"Dax! Incoming the greymon are returning! Anxerxes must have called them!" Rayne hollers from over his head.

"Heads up the greymon are returning." Dax says to agent Jennings.

"I heard. All teams heads up the greymon are heading this way!" Agent Jennings says into his microphone warning the teams.

Deb and Achilles have made a path to the gates in the few minutes of battle and are joined by two Hypnos agents and their digimon.

"Heads up them greymon are returning! We need to hold the gate as long as possible!" Hollers one of the agents.

Deb and Achilles look at each other as Deb pulls out a few more cards from her deck.

"Greymon, why did it have to be greymon?" Achilles said looking at Deb.

"Could be worse, it could have been metal seadramon or worse." Replied Deb as she put the rest of her deck up.

"Get ready! Metal Greymon in front leading the charge!" Shouts the team leader of team five from the guard tower over the main gate.

Back over with Devon, Kithira and Dark Sakuymon.

"I see you brought friends, too bad they will die along with you." said Anxerxes before he jumped down from the catwalk in front of them.

"Wrong asshole you're the only one that will die here today." Replies Devon as he starts circling left. And Kithira starts circling right.

"You wish! Chaos Flare! Chaos Flare! Chaos Flare!" Anxerxes shouts sending his attack at all of them almost at once.

Devon jumps high into a back flip as the attack passes under his paws. Kithira dives forward over Anxerxes and kicks him with her rear paws sending him sprawling toward Kassy.

Kassy bats his attack away with a flick of her hand. She winces with pain at first then grins almost evilly at the attack.

"It's after all what she would have done in the same position as Anxerxes. Try this." She thinks to herself pulling her hands together.

"Tsunami Force!" Dark Sakuymon says in almost a whisper releasing her attack at almost point blank range.

"Power Leach!" shouts Anxerxes before Dark Sakuymon's attack can reach him.

As the attack hits Anxerxes it is absorbed into him and he laughs evilly as he regains his feet.

"Nice, real nice. Power Leach!" Anxerxes said returning fire at Dark Sakuymon.

She tries to block the attack but there is no visible attack to block. At first nothing seems wrong, but then she drops to one knee and her form begins to flicker.

"What's happening to me?" She hollers in a rage as she starts to fall forward.

Her other knee hits the ground followed by her hands as her form fades. There is a flash of light and on the ground where Dark Sakuymon was is Kassy and Mike. Mike looks up for a second at Anxerxes before his eyes roll back in his head as he passes out. Kassy weakly pulls herself to Mike and collapses on top of him.

"Sorry Mike, I've failed us both." Kassy saidas she follows Mike into unconsciousness.

"Your power is mine! And now to evolve to my ultimate form!" Exclaims Anxerxes as he begins to glow.

"Not so fast! Dragon Wheel!" Shouts Kithira as she launches her attack at Anxerxes.

"Dragon's Fire!" Hollers Devon from the other side.

Anxerxes laughs as his form fades inside the glowing ball of light and as the two attacks connect he laughs even louder. As the glow fades around Anxerxes, his body has changed here and there. Most notably is the addition of horns extending from his head and wings on his back.

"That tickled, now try this. Doom flare!" Anxerxes Shouts releasing an attack. His wings sweep back and then forward and a very strong blast of air slams into Kithira sending her flying backwards into the wall behind her.

Devon watches helplessly as Kithira hits the wall and slumps to the ground not moving as her form fades into a Renamon. His thoughts run out of control as he goes over attack patterns and discards each of them. He decides on the simplest of attacks, he charges slamming into Anxerxes knocking him down. Anxerxes grabs Devon by the neck as Devon goes for the throat with his mouthful of razor sharp teeth. Anxerxes claws dig into Devon's neck drawing blood, Devon roars in pain as with a heave of Anxerxes arms he is flying. As Devon flies through the air his body twists and he lands on his feet sliding to a stop. Blood soaks his neck fur, as he looks at Anxerxes and smiles.

"First blood to you then. Spike attack!" Devon said throwing his head around sending the spikes on his head flying toward Anxerxes.

Anxerxes dodges by jumping up to the overhead catwalk. Devon's spikes impale the wall over Kithira's body.

"Arctic blast!" Anxerxes hollers firing off another attack at Devon.

"Diamond sphere!" Devon shouts before rolling into a ball covered in Diamond. As Anxerxes attack hits, Devon hears the sound he thought that he would never hear. His diamond sphere cracking under the intense cold from the arctic blast attack.

"FOUR!" Hollers Anxerxes as he picks up Devon's sphere and tosses it like a beach ball.

Inside, Devon tumbles end over end as the sphere flies through the air. To Devon time seems to slow down until he hits something. The sphere shatters on impact against the courtyard wall. Devon slams into the side of the sphere even as it is shattering around him. Bones break and Devon roars in pain as he hits the ground.

On the other side of the courtyard:

Kithira raises her head at the sound of Devon's roar of pain. And watches as Anxerxes starts walking toward where Devon is laying against the wall. Anxerxes is enjoying himself as he heads for his prey. A Hypnos digimon tries to stop him and Anxerxes just bats the digimon away with his clawed hand. The digimon's data scatters before it's ten feet away from Anxerxes.

"Must help Devon." says Kithira as she weakly pulls herself up. Her fingers will not work right as she tries to pull out the D-advanced and deck of cards. In frustration she pulls off her gauntlet and shakes the items out, the deck scatters on the ground in front of her followed by the D-advanced.

"Shit! That's all I need right now!" Kithira cusses as she starts to kneel down to retrieve the cards. She stops dead in her tracks as two cards draws her full attention. There in front of her are two gold colored cards. She picks it up and looks at both sides, like the blue cards there are no markings on it. Grabbing the D-advanced she knows what she has to do.

"I don't have a clue what this will do but if this will help Devon. Then so be it. I WILL NOT LOSE ANOTHER MATE!" Said Kithira gritting her teeth through the pain as she slides the card through the D-advanced then looks at the screen and reads the information for the gold card.

"DEVON UPGRADE TIME! SUMMON THE ANCESTOR ACTIVATE!" Shouts Kithira putting all her soul, her pain, and emotion into her shout!

The D-advanced in her hand glows brighter than ever before as all her emotions fuel the activation. Blinding light fills the courtyard, causing all humans and digimon to stop fighting and shield their eyes.

Devon feels the power of Kithira's raw emotions flow into him, restoring him and beyond. Static charges leap from his silver spiked armor as the power of the card enters him on top of Kithira's. He feels and knows what he must do at that moment. Pulling himself to his feet he stands tall and proud in front of Anxerxes, his spiked armor strobing with raw power.

"Armored Kyubimon! Slide evolution to Kyubimon warrior mode!" Devon shouts releasing the power within.

In a flash of light Devon transforms, where he is standing is a new digimon. Like the knights of old Devon is clothed in what appears to be plate armor with short spikes. In his hands are twin swords meant for battle. Almost like a Taomon but with full armor instead of the normal priest robes. His nine tails spread behind him in fan.

Next to Devon a bio-emergence appears and slowly takes the form of a digimon. The digimon is almost an exact copy of Devon except his armor is battered and worn from many battles.

"Who has summoned me?" Asks the new comer in a voice some recognize.

Alpha team looks at the new comer in awe. But Kithira is the first to speak.

"I did, but you can't be here. You're dead, how can this be?" Kithira asks fear showing on her face.

"That part of me that was human is dead. That which is digimon was reborn." Answered the newcomer.

Devon looks at the newcomer.

"Daryl?" Devon asks a look of confusion on what's visible of his face.

"Yes, and I see you finally changed. It's about time too. I wondered when that was going to happen." Daryl answers.

"IT CAN'T BE I KILLED YOU!" Shouts Anxerxes enraged.

"Oh, but it is Anton. Daryl Thackry in the flesh. You failed Anton, all you did was release my digimon DNA to be reborn in the digital world." Daryl replied taking a small bow.

"It matters not, I'll kill you again along with the rest of worthless your friends and family!" Anxerxes replied.

"No Anton, this fight is your last one. Kithira! Catch!" Shouts Daryl as he draws back an arm and tosses a box toward her.

As the box flies over Anxerxes tries to grab it, but it passes right between his out stretched hands and into Kithira's. She quickly opens the box to find another card. This one silver in color and as before with no markings. Anxerxes choses that moment to renew his attack.

"Destroy them!" Anxerxes shouts as he jumps into the air and flies over to the catwalk.

The collected digimon around the courtyard that had fought for Anxerxes look at each other. And as if an unspoken word had been passed between them. They calmly walk to one side of the courtyard. One stands for a moment before speaking.

"No, we followed you here for our own reasons, not to kill humans like those swine you brought with you Anxerxes. We will not fight your battles for you anymore, we quit." A Growlmon said before joining the others by the wall.

"Cowards! The lot of you, after I'm finished with these fools you're next!" Anxerxes said his voice seething with anger at being betrayed.

Kithira watching this quickly runs the card through the D-advanced, the card fades away in her fingers as it is read. The D-advanced in her hand glows for a second and them morphs, changing shape slightly and more comfortable in her hand. It's color goes from blue to gold as she watches. An explosion in the courtyard brings her out of her reverie. Looking up she sees Anxerxes launching attack after attack against Devon and Daryl. The air grows thick with smoke as the battle ensues. Try as she might she can't see which has the upper hand at the moment, the sound of their swords hitting fills the air along with their shouts.

"Ah fuck it!" she says looking at the D-advanced screen, before running into the smoke to find Devon or Daryl. Which she promptly runs into Daryl's back, him standing over Kassy and Mike protecting them. Daryl spins but is able to catch himself before hitting Kithira with one of his swords.

"Dammit Kit! I almost took your head off!" Daryl shouts at her!

"What does this mean?" Kithira asks holding the D-advanced up for him to see.

"We're getting our asses handed to us here, just say what's on the fucking screen!" Daryl said as from somewhere in the smoke Devon roared in pain.

"Ah Ha! There you are! Doom Flare!" Anxerxes shouts from their left.

"Talisman spell!" Cole shouts from behind them as he and Lisa come running up to Daryl and Kithira.

"You didn't think we were going to let you have all the fun, now did you." Lisa said as she stopped in front of Daryl.

"Glad you all decided to join the party. He's stronger than he looks, and I can't take him alone." Replied Daryl as he sheathed his sword.

Anxerxes attack flows over Cole's shield searching for a weakness in it. The shield starts to collapse inward and Cole drops to one knee under the pressure of Anxerxes attack. Grunting with strain Cole spreads his hands over his head and pushes back against his shield forcing himself to stand up. The shield responds to his pushing against it and slowly expands outward again.

"I can't hold my shield much longer, his attack is just too powerful." Cole grunts again as another one of Anxerxes's attacks hit his shield.

From outside the shield Devon pulls himself to his feet.

"Damn he hits hard! Guess he thought I was down for the count. Now to regroup with the others." Thinks Devon to himself as he picks up his sword.

High above the battle field Rayne watches as the Greymon approach the gate. Making a snap decision she dives toward the main gate and then hovers over it.

"You will not pass! Return to the digital world now!" Rayne shouts at the greymon.

"Not going to happen! Attack!" The metal greymon shouted as he continues to charge.

Below her Deb and Achilles along with the Hypnos team five line up and get ready for the greymon to attack. Dax runs up to join them at the last moment before the greymon reach the gate.

"Shit this battle is going on longer than I thought!" Dax shouted over the sounds of the battle behind them.

"Achilles! Time to power up! Digivolution activate!" Deb hollers as the metal greymon leading the charge attacks.

"Leomon digivolve to saberleomon!" Shouts Achilles as the glow from Deb's D-arc engulfs him.

And shortly Achilles form has changed into what some refer to his ancestors form before they changed to walking on two feet. Standing at just over eight feet tall Saberleomon makes for an impressive sight. In all he looks like a cross between a saber tooth tiger and a lion, his body is that of a lion. His fur is gold with red stripes, and his fangs at almost two feet long resemble those of the saber tooth tiger. His eyes are a dark blue, almost black in color that add his fierce countenance.

"Everyone ready! Here they come!" Shouted the leader of team five.

"Giga blaster!" The metal greymon hollered firing off two missiles from his chest launcher at the front line of defenders.

"Dragon fire!" Rayne shouted aiming in front of the missiles to protect the front line.

As the missiles hit Rayne's attack they explode sending shards of burning metal flying everywhere.

"Let them have it!" Shouted the leader of team five.

And on either side of him trainers and digimon fire their attacks at the greymon. Various attacks hit the metal greymon with such force that he seems to explode as his data is scattered. Other attacks fly through the remains of his data to strike the greymon following behind. Some greymon disappear in a flash as their data is scattered, while others fall to the ground their forms starting to break down as they bleed data into the air.

From behind the pack of greymon a mass of unknown digimon strikes in a flash of movement. Legs and underbellies are ripped open by the unknown digimon as the mass races past. Inside the gate the defenders are caught without warning as the mass of digimon are behind them in a flash surrounding Cole's shield.

Kithira watches as the scene around her unfolds. The greymon are attacking the gate, Anxerxes is attacking Cole's shield repeatedly looking for an opening. And Devon is somewhere out there in the smoke outside of Cole's shield. Lisa is down on one knee trying to bring around Mike and Kassy. Looking at the D-advanced she stares at the screen and then looks up as the sounds of battle stop. Outside the shield shadowy forms sway and dance in and out of the smoke.

"I understand now." Thinks Kithira as she looks back at the screen and makes up her mind.

"Cole drop the shield! Just do it and don't ask questions! I know what must be done." Said Kithira as she put the D-advanced to her chest and looked up to the sky.

Cole looks at Kithira as if she's gone crazy at first, but then sees the look in her eyes. Dropping the shield he prepares for battle along with Daryl and Lisa.

The group of unknown digimon slowly closes in on them as Lisa, Cole, Daryl and Kithira watch with apprehension. As they come closer, their voices whisper as one.

"Since we evolved, we have watched."

"Since we evolved, we have guarded."

"Since we evolved, we have waited."

"Since we evolved, two were chosen."

"Since we evolved, from each generation."

"Since we evolved, to be our champions."

"You are our instrument, summon them!" they say looking at Kithira.

Kithira nodes at the shadowy figures before pulling the D-advanced from her chest and looks at the screen.

"Champions of the clan! Activate!" Kithira shouted as loud as she could tears in her eyes as the D-advanced glows brightly before sending out two beams of light.

The beams of light burn away the smoke from the battle, one hits Daryl in the chest. The other beam flies true and hits Devon in the chest. Both of them are highlighted by the beams as their armor begins to glow brightly. They look at each other for a second before they're both through their heads back and a primal scream comes from both of them.

The shadowy forms swarm Daryl and Devon spinning around them and then begin to merge with them. Almost in sync their primal screams stop and there is a bright flash of light from both of them.

"Mode change! Gladiator mode!" Devon and Daryl shouted in unison.

Their armor changes from the full body plate armor to something less constrictive. For all intents the armor is nothing more than shoulder pads, shin guards and bracer's covering his forearms. The wicked sword in his left hand changes into a small shield, and the matching sword in the other hand morphs into a long knights sword. And lastly his loins are covered in a loin cloth.

All around the courtyard human and digimon alike stand in awe at Kithira's shout, as the power of the card clears the air. Anxerxes stands in shock as the shadowy forms merge with the brothers, becoming one with them. Focusing his powers Anxerxes draws his hands together.

"Concussion Blast!" Shouts Anxerxes as he releases his attack. Aimed not at Daryl or Devon but at Lisa, Cole and Kithira.

"Lisa, look out!' Shouts Cole as he grabs her and twists his body to shield her against the attack.

Kithira hearing Cole's shout launches herself skyward in an effort to dodge the attack. Below her she watches as almost everything not tied down is flung against the far courtyard wall.

As she nimbly lands on the catwalk she glances Anxerxes way. And then for Cole and Lisa, she sees them far across the courtyard. Cole is down with Lisa in his arms under him by the wall. Kassy and Mike are near them and starting to move.

Lisa squirms her way out from under Cole and pulls herself up to her knees to check him over. Cole's back is cut to ribbons from the attack and bleeding badly. Lisa scrambles to pull out the cards she had setup earlier in case she needed them. Pulling only the cards for healing she slides them through her D-arc quickly.

"Lilymons healing seed! Activate! Health boost! Activate! I just got you back and I'm not losing you again!" Shouts Lisa as her vision grows blurry and she feels herself failing to land on top of Cole.

Kithira sees Lisa fall on top of Cole and makes up her mind.

To one side Mike helps Kassy slowly to her feet. Kassy shakes her head and looks at the scene unfolding a short ways away from them.

"Mike, I have to help them." Kassy said before giving Mike a kiss on the lips that leaves no doubt about how she feels.

"Be careful-" Is all he can get out before she pulls away and starts moving toward Anxerxes. Mike pulls out his deck and starts pulling cards out.

"Devon! Your mother and Cole are down, take care of Anxerxes, I'll check on them!" Kithira shouted as she leaps toward Cole and Lisa's position.

Devon's head nods, his eyes on Anxerxes twenty feet away.

"Anton! Your personal vendetta against my family ends today, here and now! Let's finish this!" Said Daryl his voice betraying his anger as he pulled his sword out of it's sheath.

"Yes, lets finish this." Anxerxes replied as he brought his hands together focusing his powers again.

Daryl starts to move toward Anxerxes as a tawny colored blur rushes in from the left and hit Anxerxes quickly.

"Rapid Kick!" Kassy shouted as she lays into him, her kicks landing repeatedly on Anxerxes head and upper body.

"Oh, please!" Replies Anxerxes as he grabs Kassy by the foot and tosses her away like a toy.

"Holly Shit!" Exclaims Kassy as she goes flying across the courtyard. She twists in midair and lands by the wall.

"Annoying little brat! I'll enjoy breaking you in later. Now lets get this over with." Anxerxes said turning to face Daryl.

"That brat is my daughter!" Daryl replied launching into a blur of movement.

"Lets do this!" Shouts Devon as he too launches into a blur of movement.

Kithira drops to the ground and starts looking over Lisa. Finding nothing outwardly wrong with Lisa, she carefully moves Lisa to the side and looks over Cole.

Cole groans and rolls over onto his back before sitting up. At first he looks around like he has no idea of where he is, his eyes unfocused. In a few short seconds his eyes focus on Kithira.

"Wow, that guy hits like a truck! Oh no, Lisa!" Exclaims Cole as he reaches for her and picks her up.

"She's ok from what I can tell." Kithira says looking over just in time to see Daryl and Devon attack Anxerxes.

Cole holds Lisa in his arms and gently shakes her while saying her name over and over. Lisa's eyes fluter open and she manages a weak smile.

"Hey you." Lisa said weakly.

"How do you feel?" Cole asked smiling down at her.

"Like someone hit me with a truck, twice." She replied her voice even weaker and her skin color getting paler as her hand gripped his arm tightly and she grimaced in pain.

"Lisa, what is it? What can I do?" Cole asked the worry sounding in his voice.

"Theres nothing you can do, I'm dying Cole. I haven't got much time left, at least I got to be with you again. Take care of our family, I love you." She said her voice falling to a whisper as her eyes closed.

Cole watched as her eyes closed and her breathing grew erratic.

"Lisa, I love you! Lisa, I can't live without you, not again!" Shouted Cole in a rage as her breathing stopped.

Kithira looked on, in her heart she was saddened as Cole dealt with Lisa dying in his arms. And as she watched, Lisa's D-arc glowed so bright that she had to turn her eyes away to keep from being blinded. Mike helped Kassy to her feet as a flash came from behind them. And as it faded they turned to look and was shocked at first then smiled at each other as they knew what was happening.

On the other side of the courtyard:

Devon, Daryl and Anxerxes where engaged in a dance of death, each looking for an opening and finding none. The on-looking humans and digimon watched as the three digimon fought. Some started taking bets on who would win the battle, while others quietly slipped out of the unit into the city.

Devon felt the power of the ancestors flow through him and his speed doubled again. Daryl ducked and rolled forward into Anxerxes legs to take him down, but Anxerxes countered by jumping away. Anxerxes pulled out everything he had to block the brothers attacking him, but with each blocked punch or kick it also cost him some of his strength. Devon ran back away from Anxerxes getting some breathing room before launching his next attack, as Daryl's attack granted him a split second to do so. Daryl likewise disengaged from Anxerxes and stopped with his sword pointing at Anxerxes.

"Heart of power!" Shouted Devon as a blood red beam arched from his sword to strike Anxerxes in the chest.

Anxerxes screamed as the beam hit him and knocked him back almost ten feet and landed on his back. The sound of bones breaking could be heard over Anxerxes scream of pain and rage.

"Revenge of the fallen!" Daryl shouted as he threw his shield toward Anxerxes the shield glowing with power.

As Anxerxes regained his feet, Daryl's shield slammed into him from behind. Anxerxes screamed as the shield hit his broken wing and finished ripping it off. The shield flew away and whipped back around like a boomerang and returned to Daryl's outstretched hand. Anxerxes looked first at Devon then Daryl before speaking.

"Finally! Someone worthy to challenge me! Now, lets really get down to business!" Said Anxerxes as he smiled and the air shimmered around him with power and his other wing dropping to the ground behind him.

Daryl looked over at Devon and nodded as if speaking without words to him. They both hold their swords up as in a salute.

"Judgement of the ancestors!" They both shout together as they lower their swords and point them at Anxerxes.

From both swords a bright beam lances across the courtyard.

"Shield Wall!" Anxerxes shouted throwing up his hands to ward off the attack.

The attack hits the shield. Anxerxes shudders under the power of the attack and screams in rage as his shield begins to collapse.

"Pour it on, Devon!" Daryl hollered as he puts more of his will behind the attack.

On the other side of Anxerxes, Devon puts his other hand on his sword handle and screams forcing all that he is into the sword. His beam glows brighter and widens with his renewed focus. Anxerxes screams as his shield starts to buckle under the onslaught.

"It's over Anxerxes! For your crimes against Digimon and human alike I sentence you to deletion! Final judgment!" Hollers a new voice from the other side of the courtyard.

A Blood red spear flies true and shatters what's left of Anxerxes shield. The spear hits Anxerxes in the chest and slams him into the wall behind him, pinning him there.

Anxerxes screams in pain and rage for a second before the spear's power starts deleting him. His data scatters slowly at first and then picks up speed with each passing second.

"It can't end this way, I was to rule both worlds. I'm not defeated yet, I can still win! You haven't won! You will see! I can't die! I can't-" Anxerxes raves just before his deletion is complete.

All around the courtyard human and digimon look at each other as Anxerxes data scatters. The silence is broken as the cheers break out from the on lookers.

Devon and Daryl look over at the new comer that's walking their way with Kithira, Mike and Kassy in tow.

"You two did well, but have much to learn. But first we all need a vacation." the newcomer said as he stopped in front of them.

"And you would be?" Asked Daryl looking up at the tall digimon.

"Daryl! Is that anyway to talk to your parents?" The male Sakuymon asked before him.

Daryl and Devon's mouths fell open as they looked at the male Sakuymon and then each other.

"But, how?" Asked Daryl with a confused look on his furry face as there was a flash and Cole and Lisa are standing before them.

"It's simple son, when Anxerxes attacked us Cole protected me from the full force of the attack. But I still was hurt internally, and almost died from it. I always knew that Cole loved me but I never knew how much until then. It was the power of our love for each other that saved me and allowed us to bio-merge." Replied Lisa as she wrapped her arm around Cole's waist.

Two flashes happen at the same time, Daryl reverts to his renomon form as does Devon. Devon drops to one knee as the power of the ancestors leaves him. Kithira is at a loss as she looks at the two renomon almost unable to tell them apart.

"Devon?" She asks with a questioning look.

"Right here kit kat." Replies Devon as he steps toward her and gets interrupted by Mike.

"Ok, can I have everyone's attention!" Shouts Mike.

Everyone looks over at Mike.

"As the senior field agent in charge, all unregistered digimon are under arrest until you can be returned to the digital world!" Shouted Mike as everyone there started giggling at him.

"Uh, Mike, the only ones left are us. Agents and partners." Kassy said giggling.

"Ah, crap! Here I go again! And I just captured most of them! Damn it! The chief is going to have my ass!" Mike groused looking around at the teams and his new in-laws.

Epilogue: Six months later.

Kithira, Devon and Daryl sit atop the family house in Spokane, Washington looking down into the backyard and watch the comedy unfolding. Their pups are playing with each other in the wading pool. As Rayne sits down on a lawn chair carefully, her swollen belly making her look like she's about to pop. From below they can hear everyone coming out of the house with the food for the bar-b-que. Lisa waddles over to sit down next to Rayne followed by Deb.

"Achilles, if you ever curse me with twins again I'll have you fixed." Deb said as she sat down.

"But, dear I thought you wanted a big family. Besides if you have me fixed that means I won't be able to perform my husbandly duties." Achilles says as he walks over to the grill with a plate full of meat.

"I do, but one at a time. Not two or more at a time!" replied Deb as she unbuttoned the bottom of her shirt across her waist.

"I don't care if it's one or two at a time, I enjoy being pregnant. And Dax can knock me up any time." Rayne said smiling as she rubbed her swollen belly.

"Yeah, well you all can get pregnant all you want. Personally I want to hold off after this time for a year or two." Lisa replied from her chair.

"Hey! Are we late?" Mike's voice came from the driveway.

"No, you're just in time for Achilles to burn the meat again." Dax replied from his chair by the picnic table.

"Oh, you're just jealous because you can't cook." Achilles replied then sticking out his tongue at Dax.

"I can to cook; just I find it easier to use the microwave or pay to have it made." Dax said.

"Well, you just keep thinking that when it's 3am and nothings open." Cole said as he came into view carrying another plate of meat.

"I'm glad we're not late." Kassy said as she walked over to the table her belly just starting to show her pregnancy.

"Do you miss the digital world? Devon asked looking over at Kithira and Daryl.

"Are you kidding, the constant battles just to survive. No way I like it here better with you and our pups." Kithira answered smiling.

"Good thing Hypnos dropped general order 123-a; Otherwise that's where we would be living right now. Now if you all will excuse me, my date is here." Said Daryl as his girlfriend walked into the backyard below and he teleported down to be with her.

"It's a good thing that he found someone to be with." Kithira said wrapping her hands around Devon's arm.

"Yeah it is, I hate to think of how he would act if he was alone." Devon replied.

"Enough love, let's just watch the sunset. It's so beautiful this time of year." Kithira said as she leaned against Devon's shoulder.

The End for now.
