Sorry about late upload, issues with internet and got sidetracked.

The couple of days after we saw the two ultimates in the park were fairly quiet. I heard all about the Deva that Takato and Henry took down and then things went silent. What had me worried was Raia's behavior though. She'd been acting somewhat timid after the encounter and I'd figured it had to do with both of the ultimates being forms of Devimon, like the IceDevimon that had taken her down before. I tried not to push her on it, just paid her more attention than usual around the house, which was easy due to the lack of activity. I gave her hugs and kisses more often than usual and just tried to keep her happy.

One morning, maybe three days after Takato and Henry got back, Renamon had already woken up and was off doing things, I'm not sure what. Raia, though, was twitching and whispering in her sleep. She looked troubled and didn't wake up from me moving around in bed. I shook her gently, trying to wake her, succeeding after quite a bit of effort.

"Hey, Raia, come on." I said as I finally roused her. Her eyes snapped open and tears began to roll. Her vision darted around before landing on me, at which point her arms sprung around me and she pulled close to me. She sobbed into my shoulder and I stroked her back, worried as all hell. She wasn't one for nightmares, and this seemed like too much of a coincidence with the recent incident. I stroked her back and one of her ears softly.

"Shhh." I said gently. "What's wrong?" I whispered quietly, as if speaking normal would hurt her somehow. She muttered something, although I wasn't sure if it was a reply or not. I asked the question several minutes later, earning a new response.

She leaned back, holding me by the shoulders and staring into my eyes. "Am I yours?" She asked, her voice so questioning it was almost painful. Did she doubt me?

"Yes, yes of course." I said, not fully understanding. Her eyes took on a look of relief and she kissed me, as passionate as she ever had. The kiss was brief and she returned to my embrace, her fur wet from the tears, but no more forming. Step in the right direction, I suppose.

After some time, I stood with her and led her to the kitchen, making a simple breakfast to get something on her stomach. She ate slowly, much more so than usual, and I sat, watching her and thinking. I wanted her tell me what had happened to cause all of this, but then again I didn't want to push her and have it rear up and get her crying again. I sighed inwardly.

"Sorry." She said, still eating as she broke me from my thoughts. Her voice was slightly hoarse from sobbing, but she seemed to have stabilized emotionally. "You must be confused."

I sighed, aloud this time. "What happened?" I asked. "Was it a nightmare?" I only wished that if it was, it was nothing like my own prior to her return.

She nodded her head. "I was..." She paused, collecting herself, and I could tell she was holding back tears. "Being beaten." At that, I stood up and moved my chair at the kitchen table next to hers, sitting and placing an arm around her as her head came to rest on my shoulder.

"Shh. Go slowly." I said. "Who was hurting you?"

"Demon."

"A demon?" I said, almost to myself. "And he was hitting you?"

She nodded, and took a deep breath. "He was... raping me." My eyes shot wide open and my jaw hung loose.

"What!?" I nearly exclaimed, barely able to hold it to a speaking volume.

She began sobbing again. Damn it. Now my mind went into overdrive. Is her dream like mine? Will it come true? Has it already? My mind ran to the day she came home beaten and bruised, just before she was killed. I knew it would be painful, but I had to ask.

"Raia, what happened the day you came home all cut up?" I asked, tentative. Just as she was about to answer, the digivices went off.

She paused, looked to where the beeping digivices were, and looked back to me. "We need to go, the others will need help." I groaned, knowing she was using this as a way out of talking about this. Well, if she doesn't want to talk about it yet, it can wait.

"Will you be able to fight?" She nodded, slowly regaining her composure. Around this time, Renamon arrived.

"Two." Was all she said.

"Two Devas?" She nodded. "Damn, let's get moving."

(Break)

We arrived to find Gargomon getting trampled by Pajiramon with Henry and Takato fumbling through as many cards as they could scan. I sighed.

"Renamon, Raia, distract Vajramon." They bounded off toward the laughing ox deva when was enjoying the little show. Henry finally listened to Takato and scanned the blue card, and moments later his fear for Gargomon's life triggered the matrix through Calumon.

Rapidmon put on his little show and took out Pajiramon, with Vajramon escaping, as usual.

Henry and Takato looked at Raia strangely and I realized they'd not seen her new color.

"You guys like the color change?" I said, wrapping an arm around Raia. She smiled softly, probably enjoying the attention of the two messing with her new slick and silver fur. Renamon had walked away from us and appeared deep in thought, looking where Vajramon had disappeared at.

I called Renamon back and prepared to go home. Raia complied, probably happy this encounter was short. Renamon, however, didn't.

"I want to track him." She said. It seemed odd to me, but perhaps she felt bad that we got there late. "You and her go home, I'll contact you mentally if I find him." I simply nodded and returned home with Raia.

Later that night, Renamon came home, looking frustrated, and crawled into bed, falling asleep quickly. I sighed, hoping she didn't stress herself too much over this, she didn't need to worry about it.

The next day she was gone before I woke up and wasn't home all day. I was getting pretty worried when I saw the digivices going off. I collected both digivices and my deck and got Raia, who was pretty stirred up, just like she normally got during bio-emergences. As she took me to the digital field, I hoped this was a sign of her return to normalcy, and maybe a revelation of her past by me.

We arrived to find the others watching Vajramon talk to Renamon. It was the normal scene but I wondered, if she was hunting him, why was she talking to him? I could only hope she was still going for information, but doubt kept picking at me.

I stood calmly, watching her talk to him.

"This Digimon Sovereign you keep telling me about, I've never heard of him, who is he?" She asked.

Vajramon was looking at her strangely, making me really begin to question what was going on here. "Digimon were created by humans, but now we have surpassed them all. It's fitting that we have a digimon master, who unlike humans, will never desert us."

"But humans have not deserted us." She replied, but she was half-hearted. She looked to the ground, seeming to get upset.

Vajramon's voice began to boom, his digital supremacist attitude flaring up. "Surely you're not talking about those puny children who treat you like pets, a role that hardly befits magnificent creatures such as ourselves!? We were made to rule this world and the humans, and with the guidance of our master we will soon take over what is rightfully ours! This will usher in a golden age where digimon will reign supreme."

Calumon hopped down the steps while the other tamers did the peanut gallery routine. After a short exchange, Calumon might as well have been a red cape, because Vajramon seemed intent on trampling him. I gripped Raia's digivice and digivolved her, ready for her to go in if necessary.

Calumon tripped and Takato sent in Guilmon, digivolving him to Growlmon along the way. He collided with Vajramon, going toe-to-toe with him, actually looking capable of taking him down, until he was flipped over Vajramon, smacking into the wall. Gargomon, recently digivolved, rushed in now. He was dispatched just as quickly, and Renamon launched a diamond storm at his back to distract him. I took Renamon's digivice and digivolved her as well, and sent Raia in to assist.

"Huh?" He half-grunted. "Two of you now? And both digivolved? You would be excellent servants of our master, rather than that human you wish to follow."

"Not a master!" Raia called out, launching a dragon wheel at him. "We are equals!"

"So beautiful, yet so lost." He said to Raia. She looked back to me and seemed unsurprised by the pissed off look on my face.

"Takato, Henry, don't worry, I've got this one. Just stay back and let me handle it." I stared down the ox, my contempt for him building the more I thought about what he'd been saying. He was laying down compliments on not one, but _two_of the females I care about? No dice. "You know, Vajramon, you really shouldn't compliment the ladies when you have no balls to back it up." His head snapped to me and a sly grin crept across my face.

"What in the Sovereigns' name are you talking about?" He said, suppressing rage and failing.

"Well, you are the ox deva, right?" I said, my grin growing to show teeth as I spoke. "Oxen are castrated. You can say what you want, but I think women prefer men with balls."

He flared his nostrils and snorted, preparing to charge at me. I pulled a card, any card I could, and looked at it, hoping I'd get lucky. A flash of blue caught my vision and it would've taken a Glasgow grin to be larger than mine. I slashed the card in one of the digivices, I didn't look to see which, just as he began to rush forward. Despite the imminent danger, Calumon was standing nearby and his Zero Unit began to glow.

Raia stripped down, her form shifting to that of a large human and her body regained texture quickly after. Her Taomon form was similar to her others, her fur silver as well as most of her clothing.

"Thousand Spells!" She called out, showering Vajramon with scrolls, each glowing a bright red.

He turned to her, his rage for me forgotten. "Our master would not be pleased, you look so human. Why would you digivolve to resemble such weak, insignificant creatures?"

"No matter my appearance," She said, "I can still kick your ass _and_your Sovereign's!" She jumped high in the air, drawing her brush and painting a Talisman of Light in the air.

He stared her down, perhaps seeing his defeat in the works, and decided to finally come off his high horse. "You may delete me, but you will never destroy the Sovereigns. It would take five armies to defeat them." The talisman formed on him and he was quickly deleted.

Raia degraded and walked to me, pulling me close. "So protective." It was a short embrace though, when I saw Renamon was nowhere to be seen.

"Crap. Guys, sorry I have to leave so quick again, but Renamon's gone again." I looked to Raia and she quickly brought me home. I heard violent smacks coming from the back of the house and went to look. "Raia, find somewhere you can stay for a little while, I have a feeling this might break bad, and I don't want you caught in it." She nodded, darting out the door and I walked through the back door to find Renamon beating the living shit out of her target practice tree.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked, standing in the doorway, my arms crossed. "Why'd you run out on the fight? And just what was going on with Vajramon?" She stopped hitting the tree, her arms falling limp to her sides.

She shot me a nasty look and said two simple words. "Fuck you."

Hey, 13 chapters done, my lucky number!
