(Danny)

They all seemed a little surprised to see me at school the next day. I don't even really know what I was doing there myself. The teacher asked me how I injured my hand, but I just didn't respond. Silence was a lot more effective then lying. Lies are based on truth and require you to think about things that are better left be. I have learned just to stay silent. It keeps the pain away.

"You alright man?" Daisuke asked quietly next to me. I tried to ignore him and look to the windows. I found that the darkness wasn't coming to me as easily as it had before, so I tried to distract myself with meaningless thoughts. It was a bright day with a few clouds. I started thinking about clouds. How they come into existence and move about. I was trying not to think about the other worlds, or even this one really. "I guess you had to come to school since you couldn't tell your family you got injured in the Digital World."

I flinched as he said the word 'family'. I could still taste the smoke from the remains of the burning family RV and hear the hollow words of my father as they took him away to stand trial for crimes that he never committed. "No… I don't want to remember." I whimpered closing my eyes tight. But the memory wouldn't fade. I could see the smiling face of my sister and the flames that took her. "It should have been me… I was the one that should have died." I said holding my head in my hands. The bandage fell off and showed only the faintest of scars were yesterday there had been a bloodied mess.

Everyone's eyes were on me but I could hardly tell. I was starting to hyperventilate. 'Why do they have to try to reach me? Why couldn't they just leave me alone in the dark where I belong?'

"Danny, are you ok?" The words hit me and knocked him out of my panic. I looked up and saw her. Hikari was leaning over me with concern written all over her face. The sting was still there, but new memories came into my head. The memories of the other day when I had managed to save her and Miyako when they fell of the cliff. Her confession of weakness.

I don't know why, but these memories didn't hurt like the others. The feeling didn't bring about pain or guilt, only relief. "I'm fine…" I said as I returned to reality. "I'm sorry." I said and got up and walked quickly out of the classroom not even thinking of where I was going.

Before I knew it I was back at my apartment. My breathing was steady now and I was trying to think. I opened up the door and walked in. I walked past the room that used to belong to Jazz and saw my guest. "You're home early, did something go wrong at school?" Wizarmon asked me as I passed him.

I stared at the man in the bed. He wasn't like other ghosts, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was about him that was different. I hadn't tried very hard since the subject of ghosts brought back the memories. "I wasn't feeling well so I left early." I don't know why I expend myself. I had been resorting to silence so much lately that I was starting to forget the sound of my own voice. If only I could forget myself completely and start anew… 'Why can't I just start over? Act as if the past never happened.' I knew I couldn't. Even if I held my memories away from me, I couldn't even imagine letting Sam go.

I started thinking of yesterday. I was dumped in the middle of a place I had never seen before. But it felt so natural. Like the dangerous unknown is where I really belonged, out there with all the monstrous creatures… Digimon. The word came to me as I looked to the tired soul. "Wizarmon." I said casually and he looked surprised. I don't think I ever said his name before. "Are you a… Digimon."

He stared at me and blinked. "I am surprised you know the term, but yes, I was a Digimon… before I was destroyed." He said. I was a little surprised to hear him speak of his own end. Most ghosts never revealed such personal information. "You see, in our own world when a Digimon dies it is recycled and reborn from eggs in the garden of new beginnings." He said with a longing in his voice. "But I cannot, I died here in the human world while protecting my most dear friend, so I am forced to linger." He looked at me and I could see a hint of a smile behind the cape that hid the lower half of his face. "Don't worry, I have no regrets."

I couldn't help but stare, it was the road less traveled. I deeply wished that I could help him, a depth of emotion that I had forgotten that I could feel. A green light flooded the room. I looked down to see that the light was coming from my pocket and the crest under my shirt.

Wizarmon's eyes widened as he stared at the crest. "That's a crest, and a Digivice." He said as if he couldn't believe it. The light poured over his body and he his form which had been so unstable began to solidify. He's entire body was held in the green glow and then began to shrink.

Once the light had gone Wizarmon was gone and in the place of the faded wizard was a large chocolate brown rabbit with large floppy ears that had small pink area's on it. It also had three small horns on the top of his head. "Wizarmon?" I asked a little stupidly.

The rabbit looked up at me. "I'm Lopmon now." He voice was high and more childish. "It's been a long time since I was in my child form. Or even completely solid for that matter." He chuckled and jumped out of the bed and started to run around. "I feel so much better!" He shouted jumping up and down happily. I didn't even realize how happy I felt. "I guess this means that we're partners for now on." He said happily.

The word hit me like a hammer and knocked me back down. "Partners…" I said rolling the word around in my mouth before spitting it out. "I… I would rather not get involved…" I said looking away. My defenses back up. "I don't want any partners… or friends." Lopmon's ears sank a little. I looked at him and sighed. "You can stay as long as you want… I… I just don't want to get emotionally attached to someone." The ears perked up a little and he grinned.

Moments later his stomach growled. Lopmon flushed and put his hands over his stomach. "I… guess I'm a little hungry." He said trying to be as nonchalant as possible about it. His stomach growled even louder and he pulled his ears over his face trying to hide his embarrassment. The whole chain of events was so absurd that I couldn't help snorting. A true laugh came out of me. It must have been months since I had last laughed. My muscles stung from lack of use but I just kept laughing.

After a moment of puzzlement Lopmon laughed with me. "I'll make you something to eat." I said when I got back control over myself. 'Maybe having some company would be nice… but not a partner. I don't want him to fight… and die again.'

(Hikari)

I couldn't help thinking about the way Danny had acted in class this morning. Nothing the teachers said reached me, and even Black Wargraymon didn't seem to matter. I don't think I have ever met anyone as cold as Danny. He isn't evil or mean, he is just… distant. As if he was trying to protect himself from something. But what he said… 'It should have been me…'

"Did you guys see Danny again today?" Iori asked us when he got to the computer room.

"He did come to school earlier." Daisuke said his head sinking. "But when I tried to talk to him he freaked out and ran off. I think he just left without seeing the nurse or anything."

"I don't understand, he jumped off a cliff without batting an eye but he can't handle a simple 'hi'." Miyako said looking up from the computer. "Even Ken isn't that shy. Are you sure you didn't say something to upset him?"

"I was only making small talk, I swear." Daisuke said defensively.

"It is too bad that we can't talk to him. Another DigiDestined could be just the thing we need to help us against Black Wargraymon." Takeru said leaning back in his seat.

"Are you sure another rookie could help us?" Patamon said flying over and landing on his partner's head. "I don't think he had a partner yet. And even if he could use the crest to Digivolve a Perfect level Digimon, Black Wargraymon is an Ultimate level. Even eight Perfect levels usually can't take on an Ultimate, even with type, field and attribute advantages it would be a tough fight for just three Perfects." The knowledge of the difficulty didn't change the fact that we had to do it.

"What do you think his partner will be like?" Chibimon asked changing the subject.

The other infant Digimon all started talking what they thought there new friend would be like. I couldn't help but think to the moment when he jumped in the way of Blossomon's attack. I was so sure that he had been Wizarmon. 'But Wizarmon was gone, so he couldn't be Danny's partner… could he?'

(Danny)

I took the next three days off from school. I didn't really want to talk to the others and I was kind of hoping against hope that they would forget about me. That wasn't going to happen in a million years though. I saw their eyes lock on me the minute I entered the room and they followed me all the way to my seat.

"Ha Danny…" Daisuke said rubbing the back of his head causing his goggles to shift around back and forth on his head. "I want to apologize for the other day. I didn't mean to make you upset our anything." He looked out of the corner of his eye at Hikari as if to make sure that she was watching.

I looked at him. "Don't worry… you did nothing wrong." I said and he seemed surprised that I said anything. I guess three days with the childish Lopmon made me more vocal, even if I was still not a social creature.

"Oh… thanks I guess." He said embarrassed. "Ha, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind coming by the computer room after school so we could all talk."

I froze. I was coming to school again, but actually interacting with people… was I ready. "I… I…" I looked down. 'You need to remember who you are Danny, and never stop moving forward.' Sam's words rang through my head. The old me wouldn't have hesitated. "I guess… but only for a little." Daisuke seemed to light up at that and sat down grinning as if it was a great victory.

The whole rest of the day was spent worrying about what was going to happen when I spoke to them without normal people around. 'Why did I tell him that I would to that?' I thought miserably as I set on the side line in gym watching everyone else play. In truth my emotions were slowly returning and they weren't hurting me the same as they used to. But the memories still hurt. What if they asked me questions about my past? What if they tried to research me after our last meeting and know who I am? 'They know about other worlds, so it isn't impossible that they could know what I am.' The thought scared me more than anything else.

I was shocked out of my thoughts when the basketball nearly hit me in the face. I instinctively caught it in one hand moving it slowly to take of the momentum until it rested in my palm. I had forgotten were I was and just sat there staring at the ball as if it held the truth of the universe.

"Ha Danny, nice catch." Daisuke shouted and I looked over to see him waving. "Why don't you join us? Tsudo wants to be subbed out anyways." I recoiled a little trying to slip back into the darkness.

"Just give it up Daisuke. He isn't going to play." One of the boys out there said.

"He's just going to end up wetting himself again and running home to his mommy." One of the others said. I shrank back a little.

"Hey, not cool dude." Daisuke said glaring at the others.

"Face it Daisuke, he's just a baby and a loser." The first boy said shaking his head.

'Baby…' 'Loser…' The words broke through the darkness that surrounded me. The memories involved flooded me. Memories of Spectra and Jazz, all the things Jazz did for me as I just mopped and blamed my problems on her. The memories stung but they awakened something inside me, a desire to prove them wrong.

I got up and started dribbling the ball as I walked towards them. It started as a slow dribble but became a steady beat as I gained confidence. With each step I took the darkness faded slightly and the world came into focus. It was almost as if the darkness was fleeing from the sound of the ball.

The boys that had laughed at me looked at each other as if wondering what they should do. I moved into a dash moving as fast as I could without losing control over the ball. Changing hands I quickly side stepped someone moving around there left side before moving the ball between a second persons legs and grabbing the ball with my right hand as I spun around a third before laying up the ball for a two pointer.

Everyone went quiet and just stared at me. "I'll play." I said shortly staring down the boys that had been making fun of me.

"That's great… but for the record, that was the wrong basket." Daisuke said rubbing the back of his neck. I blushed, I can't remember the last time I had been embarrassed. It felt… surprisingly good.

I'm not sure how, but we managed to come back from thirty points behind. I usually only got assists since after my demonstration I was triple covered. It wasn't quite fair for them to go up again me. I wasn't using my ghost powers, but I still had all the strength and heightened reflexes that come from ghost hunting every minute of every day for more than a year and just because I was no longer in Amity Park didn't stop me from training. The systematic movements helped clear my mind.

"Ho… how… how can you… not be tired man?" Someone asked me after the last thirty minutes of the game. I just turned from him not giving a response. I wasn't ready to deal with people yet.

"Alright Danny, you were amazing!" Daisuke shouted offering me a high five. I was a little shocked by the offer and just backed away. Daisuke looked a little disappointed but shrugged it off. He also didn't seem very tired, running about in that Digital World must have built up his endurance.

'Why am I still so scared? My memories don't hurt as much anymore.' I thought for the rest of the day as I more or less slept through one class after another. The teachers had given up on trying to get me involved with the rest of the class. 'Maybe I'm afraid that they will get to close and that I will lose a friend again.' The thought was not comforting even if it did answer my question.

After school I stood outside of the computer room wondering whether or not I should just turn and walk away. I was just about to leave when I heard a voice behind me. "Hello there, can I help you." I turned to see a high school kid with short red hair carrying around a laptop. He was looking at me with a friendly look on his face.

I backed up and broke off all forms of contact. He lend back in surprised. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Are you lost or something? Maybe I can help." I tried to back away but the door to the computer room opened and the younger boy with the bowl cut from the other day was standing there.

"Izzy, thank you for coming." He said giving a bow to his upperclassman. He then spotted me. "Oh, Danny, please come in." He said and stepped aside. The red haired boy gave me an inquisitive look before going into the computer room. I weighed my options but for some reason I went in instead of turning and running away.

The other people I saw in the digital world were there other than Ken. They were all looking at a computer screen that Hikari was sitting behind. She looked up and spotted us. "Izzy, Danny, it's nice of you to come."

"Thanks for having me. So what's going on?" Izzy asked.

"Black Wargraymon is destroying the holy stones." The boy in the hat said. "If this continues this could disrupted the balance between the worlds." He looked over at me and smiled. "It nice for you to join us. We really could use the help." He said I looked down and spotted some Digimon eating from a bag of sweets.

"It's already getting really bad. During my class's trip I saw Black Wargraymon entering the human world." Miyako said.

I looked over at the computer monitor. There was a simulation of several lines spiraling into a point before the screen goes black. Hikari noticed me looking. "It's our simulation of what would happen if the balance was disrupted." She explained.

"You're wrong." They jumped at the sound of my voice. I recoiled a bit.

"What do mean we're wrong?" Daisuke said looking at me confused.

I bit my lip. "You… your model assumes that the dimensions are stable and not overlapping. The fact that traveling between them is possible proves otherwise." I said moving to a computer and opening up my own program. It was the model that was made about how the Fenton Ghost Portal worked. I felt a sting at looking at something related to the device that both started and ended everything for me. "Worlds in their natural state are constantly overlapping because of the inconstancies in energy caused by the uncertainty principle. When energy is lost or gained because of this it cause that energy to be taken from or given to another dimension."

I watched as two points on two planes were pulled closer together until a small tunnel was made that lasted for a moment before they split apart and the planes returned to their normal state and ripples went across the surface. "This starts a cycle of borrowing and lending energy until the net enthalpy across the bridge reaches a state nearing infinity, this opens a gate until the unbalance is… met…" They were all staring at me. I retracted away from their eyes.

"I think that was more than I have ever heard him say all put together." Daisuke said in amazement. "And I didn't understand a word of it."

The high school boy Izzy looked over my shoulder. "I've never seen anything like this. Where did you learn it?" I got up and moved quickly away from him looking away. I didn't say anything. I shouldn't have ever said anything. Izzy looked upset about my reaction.

"Don't take it personally, Izzy." Hikari said with a gentle expression that held my eye for a second before I managed to look away. "Danny, could you tell us what would happen if pillars that were helping to keep the two worlds separate were suddenly destroyed?" Hikari asked.

I was silent for a moment, but I knew the answer. I remembered when Clockwork talked to me about the pillars that the Ghost Zone was supported on. "They… they would probably create an infinite well of disorder that would influence the space time continuum of both worlds and lock them in place like a black hole… It would kill both worlds and all other worlds that are too heavily influenced by them." I said seeing the confused look on Daisuke's face but he understood that the worlds would die part.

"So in other words we need to stop Black Wargraymon. You with us, Danny?" Daisuke said grinning like a madman and pulled on his goggles.

I panicked and backed away. "No!" I shouted and everyone looked at me in shock. "It… it isn't any of my business." I said backing way towards the door.

"None of your… what are you talking about? You're a DigiDestined, you're supposed to help us." Daisuke said angrily. I moved back closer to the door. "The world is going to end if we don't do anything."

I looked away and my eyes locked on the door knob. "I… I… I don't want to get involved. I don't want to fight." I said and made a dash going out the door and runner far too quickly for any human to catch me. I didn't want to fight ever again.

(Hikari)

I watched as Danny went. I felt… sad that he didn't decide to join us. "So that was Danny, you guys weren't kidding about him being strange alright." Izzy said still looking at the computer Danny left running. "He's worse than Joe that time when the entire school had that cold going around."

"I don't get it. Why doesn't he want to be our friend?" Daisuke said. "I would want to be friends with me." I had to roll my eyes. Daisuke was hard headed and tried to move to quickly, just like my brother.

"Some things you just have to give time." I said trying to calm Daisuke down. "He'll come around, he's just scared. We did tell him that the world was coming to an end."

"True, but that wasn't the part that scared him." Tailmon said jumping over and resting on my lap. "He was afraid of being with us, not the end of the world."

"Well, time isn't exactly something we have much off." Izzy said looking at the other files from the source that Danny brought up on the computer. "Rats, there's a password, triple encoded with a heavy virus guarding the files. Three wrong entries would bring down the whole school server."

"There isn't anything we can do here." Takeru said shaking his head. "Let's go and put a stop to this before Black Wargraymon takes out anymore Holy Stones."

I looked back to the door. I knew that Black Wargraymon was too strong for us. We really needed more help. But I felt guilty of trying to get Danny to join. He had already almost died because of all this, I couldn't ask him to go back.

(Danny)

I arrived back at my apartment shortly after I left the school. I had ignored all the stares as people watched me break the speed limit on foot. I had to get away from it. I had to get way.

I closed the door behind me and gave a sigh of relief. "Wow that was a pretty have sigh there, Danny." Lopmon said, his black button eyes staring at me. "You ok?"

"I'm fine." I said and walked over to the fridge and getting out a bottle of water. I was drinking it when I saw a light from the corner of my eye. My bedroom door was open and I could see a card game opened up on the monitor. I thought back to being taken to the Digital World. I had felt at home in the unknown environment and monster filled forest.

I noticed Lopmon also looking longingly at the computer. "You want to go home don't you?" I said, it really wasn't a question.

He jumped and looked at me pulling his ears in front of his face like he always did when he was embarrassed. "It's been a long time since I have seen it." He admitted.

I put a hand in my pants and pulled out the digivice and looked at it. "I… I guess one visit couldn't hurt." I said though I could feel that I would probably go more than once. Lopmon's ears flew up and a grin crossed his face. I gave a light chuckle at the little guy's excitement. We walked up to the computer and I lifted my digivice. Light poured out over me and I felt the uncomfortable but familiar sensation of being transported through a gateway.

When the light died down I found myself back in the Digital World though a different part than last time. I was standing in front of a small TV wearing the same black ninja suit as before that covered the bottom half of my mouth. I was in a canyon type of area with red rock soil surrounding me. I looked around and tried to locate Lopmon. "Hey, Lopmon, where are you?" I said looking around.

I turned and almost jumped when I saw him standing there as Wizarmon. His dark blue hat and cape a lot more sold than they had been before. "I'm… I'm home." Wizarmon said and he took in a long breath of air. I thought for a second that he was about to cry.

"So you know where we are then?" I said looking around at the place.

He grinned which was strange with his stitched together mouth. "A wizard always knows where he is." He said in a voice and started walking off. "I was here back in my days as a wanderer, though I guess I still am a bit of a wanderer. Come on Danny, there is something off in this direction that you simply most see." He was whistling 'we're off to see the wizard' as he skipped along.

"I guess three years haunting a TV stations does that to a guy." I mumbled as followed him.

We went along the cliff side until we reached a crack in the canyon. "Prepare yourself Danny. You are going to see one of the seven most sacred things in the Digital Wor…" He was cut off by the sound of explosions coming from the crack. He dashed forward and looked over the edge and gasped. "No."

I looked into the crack and saw Hikari and her friends along with their Digimon standing in front of the large black dragon like Digimon I saw the other day in the forest. The Digimon Digivolved and attacked the black Digimon but two more came out of no were and stopped them. One was a giant spider and the other a mummy.

The spider said something about destroying a large glowing blue stone in the middle of the crevice.

Sylphmon was caught up in the bandages of the mummy and it put a large gun to her head. "No!" Wizarmon shouted and tried to jump in but I put a hand on his shoulder pulling him back. "Stop, let me go. I have to help her!" He struggled against me.

"Don't be stupid. You aren't strong enough, you'll die." I said worrying about my newest and only friend.

"I don't care, I have to help her! I died once for her and I would do it again!" Wizarmon's words shocked me. He looked back at me with his green eyes. "Isn't there something you would die to protect? Please Danny, I must do this!" He pulled away from me and dove towards the fight.

I watched as he went. "I… I'm nothing but a coward." I bite down on my lip. "I let Sam down… I changed." I looked up at Wizarmon's retreating form. 'Keep moving forward.' I could have sworn I hear Sam's voice as the stone's glow strengthened. "I… I will… I will fight." I said finding my resolve. The tag around my neck gave off a near blinding green light and my digivice started to beep loudly.

Green light encircled Wizarmon and I could hear him say. "Wizarmon, Perfect Digivolve to…"

(Hikari)

Things were not going well for us. Sylphmon and Paildramon were both being kept busy by Arukenimon and Mummymon. Mummymon tied up Sylphmon with his 'Snake Bandage' and was pointing his gun to her head. "Sylphmon, no!" I cried along with Miyako.

A blinding flash of green light accrued and then a black ball of energy that looked like it had an entire spiral galaxy trapped inside of it passed over us and hit Mummymon in the chest pushing him off of Sylphmon. A figure in a midnight black cloak appeared over Sylphmon and knocked Arukenimon away with a staff with a crescent moon on the top.

"Who… who is that?" Sylphmon asked looking up at the figure. "And more importantly, whose side is he on?"

The Digimon turned to us. His black cloak formed a hood over his head but you could see straw like trigs of white hair poking out underneath it. A bit of the cloak covered mouth and nose but you could still see his eyes. He had amazingly green eyes and soft cheekbones that might have belonged to a baby if it wasn't for his grayish skin. The cloak itself flowed in a way that made the bottom look like black fire with small pieces falling way before disappearing in the air. Though the cloak was plan black from the outside underneath it looked like the night sky out in the country were none of the city lights could dampen the view. Under the cloak he wore black cloth wrapped around his entire body and covered in zippers.

We all heard him start to give a low chuckle. "How many times to I have to tell you, Tailmon." His voice held its own echo. "'I am not on Vamdemon's side. I am only on your side.'"

Sylphmon's jaw dropped and Tailmon's voice alone could be heard. "Wi… Wizarmon?" It sounded like a prayer. I couldn't believe my own ears.

"I'm Twilight Wizarmon now." He said lifting up his staff. "Lunar Orb!" Another of the star black balls shot out of an outstretched palm and rocketed towards Arukenimon was hit squarely in the chest sending her back into the cliff face.

"Arukenimon, no!" Mummymon shouted glaring at Twilight Wizarmon. He threw his bandages at our resurrected friend but they were stopped, not by Twilight Wizarmon, but by Danny. The green light that emanated for his crest surrounded his whole body.

"I'll take care of these sideshows, you force on the ring master over there." Danny said glancing over at Black Wargraymon, his eyes were the same wondrous green as Twilight Wizarmon's.

Twilight Wizarmon looked as shocked as the rest of us but he still responded. "Give me the hard job why don't you. Sure you can handle this?"

Danny gave a grin. I had never seen that expression his face before. It was an almost apologetic look coming from him. "Hey, you're the one that got us into this mess. You take the big guy." He paused and looked away from us. "You were right… I once did have something I was willing to die for. Then I lost it… thank you for helping me remember my resolve."

I blinked thinking that I was starting to see things, but it was no illusion, and no dream. Behind Danny was the faded figure of a black haired angel leaning against his back with her four wings spread wide. "Ghost Stinger." Danny said simply as if calling out an attack like a Digimon. Green electricity snaked its way up the bandages and Mummymon rived in pain. Danny pulled the bandages and the ten foot tall Digimon flew towards Danny. The green light that covered Danny moved into his hand and he punched Mummymon in the face sending the Digimon back.

As Danny's fight with Mummymon continued Twilight Wizarmon moved in between Black Wargraymon and the Holy Stone. "Move." Black Wargraymon threatened. He had already beaten Angemon and Ankylomon and was moving in on the Holy Stone since Paildramon was beaten when they used Sylphmon as a hostage. "I will let none stand in my way."

"This is a holy relic that is sacred to our world. I will not let you harm it." Twilight Wizarmon lifted his staff and prepared to fight.

"So be it. Gaia Force!" Black Wargraymon lifted his claws above his head and he formed the giant ball of destructive red energy and threw it at Twilight Wizarmon.

Twilight Wizarmon glared and grabbed onto his cloak with his free hand and threw it around him. "Robe of the Twilight!" Black Wargraymon's attack hit and Twilight Wizarmon was nowhere to be seen. But even before we could panic his voice could be heard echoing all around us. "Lunar Orb!" The black sphere of energy came down and hit Black Wargraymon in the back knocking him forward.

Twilight Wizarmon was descending from the sky behind him with his staff raised. "I will not let you hurt my friends! Moonlight Requiem!" The crescent moon on the top of his staff glowed bright and grew to form a blade of light as solid and unwavering as the light of the moon. The blade was the size of Twilight Wizarmon himself and he brought it down on Black Wargraymon, but the Ultimate level Digimon was too much for Wizarmon's Perfect level form. Black Wargraymon Swung a massive claw at the blade of moon.

Twilight Wizarmon's attack was shattered under the force of the blow. He looked on his shock before Black Wargraymon back handed him with his "Dramon Killer". Twilight Wizarmon flew back into the Holy Stone. His evolution broke and he shrank down to a brown and pink rabbit. "You should have stayed out of my way. Gaia Force!"

"Lopmon!" I heard Danny shout. The giant red ball of energy was flying straight for Wizarmon and the Holy Stone. Sylphmon jumped in scooping up the rabbit and getting out of the way before Black Wargraymon's attack hit and turned the stone to dust. The ripples shook the world as space was distorted. A pillar of light came up from where the stone had been and in it was the long dragon like Digimon.

The light disappeared and the dragon with it. "I can feel it. Only a few more stones and then I may fight my true enemy." Black Wargraymon said before jumping up and flying away.

"Lopmon, are you alright!?" Danny shouted running towards Sylphmon.

"Don't worry about me, Dannys." The rabbit, Lopmon, said wobbling a bit. "But did any of you get the number of that truck that hit me?"

"Ya, it was D-R-A-G-O-N." Danny said as he took the rabbit from Sylphmon who separated into Pururumon and Salamon.

"Remind me to call the motor safety people on him." Lopmon said before shaking himself and jumping down out of Danny's arms. "Wow, what a ride. Digivolving sure felt weird."

We had run up to me them. "Danny!" Daisuke shouted. Danny looked up wide eyed and then he shifted away his head lowered and his shoulders hunched trying to shield his face from us.

It looked like things were going to get awkward when Salamon jumped on Lopmon. "You're alive." She cried on him as she had him pined to the ground. "You idiot, you idiot. I thought you were dead. Idiot"

"Hey, this coat isn't water proof you know." Lopmon said but was patting Salamon on the back of her head. "And I was dead. Remember, you saw my ghost."

"But then how are you alright?" Salamon said looking him up and down.

"Danny is a negromancer." Lopmon said excitedly.

Danny snorted. "I think you mean necromancer, and no I'm not." He said seeming to forget that we were there and was showing a side of him I had never seen before.

"I don't see a difference, and yes you are! You brought me back to life!" Lopmon shouted.

"There is a big difference. Necromancers control corpses and wouldn't be able to bring you back anyways. Where negromancer would suggest that I have the power to control black people and that's just wrong on so many levels." Danny was actually joking around. The others and I were shocked into silence by this strange new Danny.

Lopmon's stomach growled. He blushed and pulled his ears in front of his face. "How could you already be hunger, we ate right before we came here?" Danny said laughing. "Are you sure you're a rabbit and not some kind of pig."

"Hey that's not fair. Digivolving takes a lot of energy." Lopmon said through his ears. Then all the other Digimons' stomachs also growled.

"Why did you have to mention food?" Daisuke said a little embarrassed.

Danny remembered that we were there and looked unsure of himself again. "We… we could all go to my place. Order some pizzas or something." He said still not looking at us.

We all exchanged nervous glances. "Sure, why not." Daisuke said and pushed forward taking the offer. I don't know if Danny looked more relieved or scared that we took up the offer. Lopmon jumped up onto his head and that seemed to calm him down.

'I guess we are about to learn more about Danny.' I couldn't help but think as we started towards the TV that had brought him to the Digital World from his house.
