Redemption
note: This is an AU story assuming that seasons 1,2 are connected to season 3. There have also been some alterations in all three storylines. The most major of these are the changes in the D-Reaper storyline and the end of season two, or the continuation, depending on how you look at it
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of their characters, if I did I would be rolling in it. Acheron is mine as well as some other characters.
Prologue
They say time is but an endless river and that a life is a pebble thrown into it. Over a course of years a single pebble can cause a river's course to change. They also say that redemption is always attainable if one wants it hard enough. However there will always be those who will hate you even if you've redeemed yourself, some sins cannot be washed away with accepting your mistakes and moving on. This is a story of a being that should never have been. A being of light and dark, human in that his life is full of mistakes. This is a story that poses the question: If you were in his position, what could and would you have done if given the choices this being is confronted? Would you have done half as well in the end?
Chapter1
six years have now passed since the defeat of the D-Reaper. Aside from the occasional bio-emerging digimon things have been quiet. With the additions of guardromon, lopmon, marine angemon, fighting the occasional wild ones have become nothing but a chore. The Tamers have reached high school and life has become a semblance of normality.
{morning, outside high school}
"Hey, guys how was the summer break," Takato yells to the group walking up the sidewalk. The group consists of Kazu, Juri, and Lee.
"Good Takato. How have things been?" replied Kazu.
"I can't complain, though all that time visiting America started to wear down on me. Where is Ruki? I haven't seen here since I left"
"Nice to know I'm Still cared for" came the reply from behind him. Takato turned around to see Ruki standing behind. Before he could respond she walked up and kissed him, making him blush slightly though he did not let her go.
"Welcome back" she said softly
"If that's welcome back, I should leave more often" he sighed back.
"Um guys, go get a room," Kazu said blushing slightly. The others looked a little uncomfortable as well. It had taken a little time to get used to the to of them, going out but after a year and a half they had all gotten used to it.
"So how has Guilomon gotten along without me"
"He did well. We just kept him stuffed on bread and peanut butter and he was oblivious/comatose the entire time"
The group continued to laugh and converse while making their way into the school.
{Morning, Park}
"Come back here, were are you" cried guilomon, running blind folded around the park after Calumon, Lopmon, and Terriermon as they played a version of hide and go seek. Near them on some rocks Marine Angemon and Leomon conversed while guardromon is in rest mode.
"Juri told me that Takato came in late yesterday and that he would be around to see us after school is out, along with the others" Leomon told Marine Angemon.
"I, for one, am relieved. Now we don't have to keep Guilomon in his food endused slumber anymore to keep him from looking for Takato" he chuckled. Despite four years of living in the human world Guilomon still had the intellect of a four year old in many cases, reasoning and common sense being a few. As they conversed the sun reached its Brightest, most brilliant point during sunrise. All 7 digimon turned to look at the sun, plus 2 more stationed upon an observation tower roof in another part of the park.
A slender, beautiful yellow fox lay on the roof of an observation tower gazing at the rising sun. Her head rests on a small form's chest. He is purple of body, with a white face, green eyes, and a forked tail. He wears red gloves, now lying beside them, and a red handkerchief around his neck, now also lying beside them. The fox sighed contently, looking into Impmon's eyes and nuzzling his head with her own.
"Takato is home today, he's coming to see guilomon after school" she murmured in his ear.
"That is, my dear Renamon, if your tamer doesn't get a chance to 'talk' with him after he gets out of school" he replied.
Renamon chuckled as she replied "Yes, he may not get to see guilomon for at least a couple of hours."
"Try days" Impmon joked, then jumped up and back to avoid her tail" Infact, maybe we should disappear for a while. I'm sure we can find a way to kill some time"
Renamon raised her eyebrow, then shot into the woods towards her den. With a smile, Impmon jumped after her in hot pursuit.
{End of the School day, High School}
School ends and the Tamers are walking towards the park to meet up with their digimon. Rika and Takato are holding off 'Talking' until Takato had a chance to talk to Guillomon. Instead they walked with their arms around each other, holding each other close.
"It's such a beautiful day" Takato murmered" But not as beautiful as that which stands beside me"
Snuggling up closer, she looked up with her violet eyes. "Really"
The kiss that followed was long, leaving them both gasping for air in the aftermath. "Maybe we should go someplace more private."
Both nodded in agreement, heading for the first available shelter, Renamon's den.
{Deep in the trees of the park}
A bright flash illuminated the trees. Then a portal leading to another world opened. Out of it stumbled a young man holding a black wood staff. He was dressed in long black robes and a black cloak with the coal pulled over his head. Wisps of long, dark hair trailed out of the coal. The portal closed behind him and he leaned heavily on a tree in exhaustion.
"I should be able to rest for a few days" he sighed" It'll take them at least that long to track me"
His stomach growled in agreement. "But first maybe I should find something to eat"
With a weary groan he jumped what must have been easily 30 ft into the bawls of the tree. Jumping from tree to tree with blinding accuracy and speed he quickly made his way towards the closest sign of human civilization.
{Late afternoon, park}
"Hey guys, where are Takato and Rika,"asked Lee
"They were supposed to meet hear after school" stated Kazu
"Well they haven't shown up here yet" replied Leomon. He hoped Takato would get here soon. Guillomon would get anxious and they were out of bread and peanut butter.
"School hasn't been out that long" stated Juri "I'm sure they just had to do something and will just be a little late" then blushed, thinking about what that might implicate. All the others blushed a little bit thinking about what might be delaying the pair.
"Speaking of missing people, were are Renamon and Impmon"
{Renamon's Den}
"Come-on, we're almost their" said Rika, barely able to stop kissing him long enough to tell him as they stumbled toward it.
They made their way inside and into the back of the cave were it was softer when Takato tripped on something. He fell on his face while Rika fell on her side next to him. In the minimal light they saw a yellow and dark form curled up into each other, what they had obviously tripped over. The form shifted and a pair of blue and a pair of green eyes opened, tiredly and inquisitivly, turned toward the beings that had woken them. A familiar female voice sighed" Well, this is most inopportune"
Another familiar voice, this one male, stated, "Well toots, it looks like it's time to get up"
"Renamon? Impmon? What were you two doing?" stuttered Takato, who was in shock about who the pair was, and what it appeared they had been doing earlier.
Snuggling closer into Impmon, Renamon sighed. "What does it look like were doing" Renamon purred lazily and contently.
"Was this what you did with the nights you asked for yourself" asked Rika, shocked herself by the fact that Renamon had never mentioned this to her.
"And the few times I didn't come when you called" Replied Renamon
"On the contrary, you seemed to come plenty" stated Impmon, who then deftly dodged the tail that would have hit him in the face.
His voice turning suddenly serious Impmon spoke "I think we should head to the park. Guillomon is probably looking all over for you and I don't think we have any more food"
"He's right. We said we'd meet up with them after school and we're already a half an hour late" Takato stated with a sigh.
"Don't worry, I'm sure my mother and grandmother won't notice if I make a little walk tonight" she smiled mischievieously at Takato.
"I think we've just been evicted for the night," laughed Impmon as he and Renamon shot into the trees, making their way to the tamers as Takato and Rika followed on the ground.
{Dusk, Main Park}
It feels good to final sit down and eat something without having to worry about being attacked, thought the young man. After buying some food with some money he had on him, now sat comfortably in a tree eating rice and drinking tea. Using his power he had warped his robes into local clothing so he could blend in with the people. As he sat there when he sensed something from in the open area of the park, near a small lake. He looked forward to see what was going on. He saw a Terriermon, Lopmon, Guillomon, Guardromon, Marine Angemon, Leomon, and a Calumon talking and playing and talking with 5 humans.
"Shit, Tamers" He whispered to himself "Maybe I should think about taking off a little sooner than I wanted"
Movement caught his attention as he saw Two more digimon jump from the trees followed on the ground by a female and a male but it was the digimon that caught his attention immediately.
"A Renamon and an Impmon. Rare as all hell and I sense something from them both." He murmured.
He went back to his food and watched them while he finished his meal. They talked and played as he watched. It appeared that the male who came late is the Guillomon's tamer and the female is the Renamon's tamer. Surprisingly enough the Impmon does not have a tamer but instead stays near the Renamon.
"Very interesting, this is an interesting group. "He whispered to himself" It almost might be wor........oh shit"
He could sense it, the digital field, almost immediately. He almost didn't notice the Guillomon growl and stare or the others snap their heads toward the mist gathering in the park. He couldn't sense what was emerging but he could guess, he could also feel a portal start to open.
"So, one of the uniques is coming after me this time. But their is no way they could have tracked me this fast, so why are they here, unless they aren't after me" he Reasoned to himself as his gaze shifted to the group of tamers.
