Opening: Downfall of vengeance

2 of us

2 of us

Shall walk the path of pain... (3 sec. silence)

Forever and forever alone

We shall suffer the pain of the broken trust

Why did I even open my heart to him?

Why did I befriend him and give him my trust?

And why did he betray me and break the trust?

That united us together

We shall fall into the hole

Of endless pain

The part of pain await me

I shall drag those I love

I will drag them to dead

Eyes close cannot let me see their lost

I just want my vengeance

I shall lose everything in the...

In the name of vengeance

I shall lose the desire to live

Forever alone shall we fall

The traitor and the victim

In the endless blood

Part 1: Destruction of the forest village

"Aniki...Wake up...You're having a nightmare." A voice said.

"Hum...Zeon...Shut up...*mumble*" the dreamer said.

"Aniki...WAKE UP!" the voice screamed.

"OUCH! Right inside my eardrum Zeon," the now awake person complained.

"I'm sorry aniki, but you were having a big nightmare," Zeon said.

Aniki face turns grim and he suddenly went quiet.

"Hum...Forget about it." Zeon said quickly. Zeon was a XV-mon digimon. He was a dragon digimon with blue skin over his body except his belly with a big X mark, his front neck part and his jaw that is white, under his jaw, two small white horns were visible, developed arm and leg that show how his strength is tremendous, three fingers ending with claw and three toes. He also has two white wings on his back and a metallic horn over his nose and behind it there's a yellow V, 2 blue horns at the back of his head, a long blue tail on his back. He was 16 feet height. His singularity was his black goggles with big glass on his forehead and a big and solid bag where he had foods and survival stuff for the 2 of them.

"Alright. So...We should reach the village before sunset." the now awake one said. The person was a young human of 12 years old.

They stand up and eat a fast breakfast and begin marching inside the forest during a long part of the day.

"...Aniki...It's been 3 years...Do you think we can find him?" Zeon asked uncertain if it was the right thing or not.

"Of course we'll find him. For now...We have to keep going. The village is our only lead for now," The other replied.

"Aniki...I'm hungry," the XV-mon whined.

"Me too...You just have to eat while we are walking," the human replied.

"As you wish Aniki," Zeon answered.

"Stop calling me Aniki. It's getting a little annoying," the human grunted.

"But Aniki!" Zeon was cut before he said anything else.

"You better eat not complain about it," the human warned.

"..." Zeon said nothing else and are a sandwich.

"Delicious...Anyway. What's special about the Forest village?" Zeon asked.

"I've heard a rumor that he may hide in the village. I'm not sure if it's true but at least...It may give us a lead about his localization," the boy replied

"Aniki...Maybe you should...Let it go." Zeon said slowly.

"NO! I won't let him get away with this!" He turned furiously at the direction of Zeon. Zeon backed away from the human when he suddenly shouted. "We shall hunt him until we capture him...And...K-i-l-l h-i-m!" the human shouted. When he says «kill him» It was very slowly.

"Aniki..." Then Zeon added nothing else. He knew it was useless.

Forest village: Night

The duo was entering in the village and what they saw the last thing they could have expected.

The village was in ruined. It wasn't on fire but it was clear a battle have occurred. There was still residue of data coming from digimon who had been killed in a fight. The human ignored the destruction, too focus on his task. Him and his digimon partner walked in the village and searched for their clues. A sound was made and the duo turned their head around and they saw a digimon running at their direction. It was a Gabumon. Gabumon was a maroon-eyed yellow-skinned lizard in a bluish-white pelt with navy blue markings coming from the data of a Garurumon. A yellow horn protruded at the top of his head and his belly was blue with unusual pink markings.

"Wait! Please help us!" Gabumon shouted.

"What is it?" Zeon asked.

"We don't have time for this. He could still be here," the human said.

"Aniki..." Zeon said sadly.

The human sighed before talking. "What happen?"

"The chief of the village had raises the bytes taxes of 200%...No one wanted to pay that much...Then...There's been a violent fight in the village. The Greymons destroy everything...We have no home left...I...Please...Help us...You are a P-Tamer right?" Gabumon asked.

"Yes...I'm a P-Tamer...Alright...Where's the chief of the village?" the human asked.

"He's in the high residence there...He's the last one staying in the village except me...There's nothing left here so every survivor left...I want you to arrest him and bring him to the P-Tamer Justice," Gabumon said.

"Alright...Maybe he knows where the traitor is too...He clearly passes there." the human said.

"Alright...Let's go," Zeon said.

The duo walked to the chief house with Gabumon. After a few minutes, they reached it and entered in the house. Zeon destroyed the door and the three entered in it. They walked through a short corridor until they reached the chief room. They opened the door and saw the chief the village. They all saw something they didn't expect.

The chief was putting his head on the ground and he was sobbing. It wasn't something normal for a criminal who caused the destruction of the village would do.

It was a Garudamon. He was a giant human bird walking on his big talons. He had red feather on all of his body, but more prominent below the belt with yellow bird feet and yellow hand ending with long claws, white feather on her top chest and throat, long blond hair and a red mask where her blue eyes stuck out of it. He had two red wings on his back ending with yellow feather.

"Listen to me Garudamon. You are under arrest for destroying the village!" the human shouted putting his hand on his back.

Garudamon looked at them with despair.

"I'm...I'm sorry...I...I never want to do anything to anyone...I...I don't know why I've done that," Garudamon sobbed. He closed his eyes and he wasn't looking at them. Tears continued falling out of his eyes

"Calm down. Tell us what happen." Zeon said walked closer to him.

Gabumon looked at the chief and noticed that something was wrong: "You're eyes. They are blue once again. Not red anymore."

"I don't know what you mean Gabumon. As for what happened, I am not sure myself...Everything I've done wasn't me. I didn't want to do any of this." Garudamon said before sobbing a few seconds. "I've receive last week a visitor who wanted to meet me. He wanted to know an information I've possess."

One week ago

"Chief...We have a visitor." A Greymon said from the window of Garudamon office.

"He can enter," Garudamon said.

The visitor entered in the room.

"Hello and welcome to my house," Garudamon said with a welcome smile.

("Who was it?" the human asked.)

("It was another XV-mon. He also has another name: Judas. He is very similar to yours...But...His eyes were red like the blood and he wears a red jean. He also has an orange collar around his neck," Garudamon explained.)

("Do you have more information? Very specific?" the human asked.)

("He has a red scar on his forehead...Just over his left eyes," Garudamon answered.)

("We've found the traitor," the human said.)

("I don't completely understand...But I'll continue." Garudamon said a little confused before continuing.)

"Hello...My name is Judas...And I want to talk to you in private," the XV-mon politely said.

"Of course. Please Greymon, you can leave." Garudamon replied.

Greymon did as he was told too.

"What do you want?" Garudamon asked.

"Alright. I've heard that you know something about a temple," Judas said.

"A temple. Sorry but I do not know where the temple can be." Garudamon replied honestly.

"Let me more specified. I'm searching for the temple of the Dark minister Judas." Judas said.

"You are searching for a temple that has your name?" Garudamon asked confused.

"Yes...Do you know if there is one temple here?" Judas asked politely.

Garudamon saw instinct told him something was wrong and that something was hidden behind his polity voice: "I do not think it's a good idea...I don't know where it is anyway."

"I'm sure you know it. I do not want any joke. I know it is a dark place but I have to go there and it's now!" Judas shouted. His voice was threatening.

"I really do not know where it is," Garudamon said.

Judas started emitting an aura of madness and violence at a level even the worse digimon couldn't reach. He also seemed like he could control to the very core of the digimon.

"Listen to me Garudamon and listen well. You better tell me where the temple is, or...I'll make sure to hurt you where it hurts the most. All villagers and all of those you care. I'll make you kill them by your own orders and by your own hands too. I'll break you," Judas said with venom coming out of his mouth.

"I..." the aura completely scared Garudamon, even if he is a perfect digimon and him a adult digimon. "I-I don't know. I-I never see this temple. Even any temple of the Dark minister at all. Please! Don't do this!"

("He asks me anger with a more and more devil voice while I beg again and again that I do not know anything about it. He didn't believe me. He-He Starts his threat. He controls me and I-I raise the bytes taxes and I kill everyone I love most with my hand. I couldn't control my body but I could see everything. Everything I have done. Then-With all the blood on my hand. Judas frees me from his control." Garudamon said)

"See. This is what happens for everyone who resists me. I just kill everyone and make then suffer. So...Do you know where the temple is?" Judas asled.

"No! I...do...not...know!" Garudamon said on his knee. Tears falling on the blood of every digimon he killed. The blood still hasn't turn into data.

"I see. Well, I'll let you live. I'm cruel right?" Judas asked before laughing at the misery of the digimon.

He walked away from the village.

Present day: Forest village: Mayor House

"Where did he go?" the human asked.

"He-He goes to the north," Garudamon said. Tears felt from his eyes once again.

"Alright, I know you are telling the true, but we can't let you be free." the human said.

"Aniki. What can we do?" Zeon asked.

"I'll-I'll go to Alpha and be put into prison. I'm too scared to end my own life," Garudamon said. "I-I also can't die that way. I can't escape my crime."

"I'll go with you," Garurumon said. He walked closer to Garudamonn.

"Are you sure?" Zeon asked surprised.

"Yes, He didn't do anything wrong. I-I'll go with him. He doesn't have red eyes anymore," Garurumon said.

"Hum?" Zeon asked.

"When you have red eyes...you were a monster, But...You don't have it anymore. I'll-I'll escort him. I know he won't do anything," Garurumon said putting his hand on the shoulder of Garudamon.

Garudamon looked at Garurumon and grabbed him and pulled him against his chest. His tears felt on the head of the child digimon.

"Alright. We are going after Judas," the human said.

"What?! We can't leave them alone! What if he comes back?" Zeon asked.

"He won't," the human said.

"Aniki!" Zeon shouted.

The human stood up and he walked away now that he didn't have any business anymore. Zeon ran after his partner and they headed to the north.

"We cannot let him cause any more damage Zeon. We have to stop him now before another village end that way," the human said

Garudamon and Garurumon walked at the direction of the capital of the digital world.

The human and Zeon weren't aware, but they were being followed by four beings.

"We have found him." a female one said.

"What are the chief orders?" the male one asked.

"Capture the renegade Adam by his own will or by force. We can't let a renegade tamer on the loose," the female one replied. She sighted before adding: "His partner will come with us if we manage to capture Adam."

"Alright. Prepare your sword. It's soon time for us to strike," the male one said.

"Yes," another voice replied.
