The two digimon stood facing one another, in silence. Behind Wendigomon, stood Miyu who was staring at Kouen, studying him and his Firamon. "Go." Kouen said in a sharp voice. "Yes, Kouen-sama." The lion-like digimon burst forward but was met with full force by Wendigomon's strong limbs. Wendigomon grunted a bit as she took hold of Firamon, throwing him to the side. "Howling Destroyer!" She yelled as a beam of dark light shot out at Firamon, piercing him slightly, but he managed to get up just in time and dodge it. "Tch…" Miyu said as she watched Firamon move over to Kouen.

"What should I do, Kouen-sama?" Firamon questioned his tamer, glancing down with his golden eyes. Kouen folded his arms. "Pin Wendigomon and then hit her with full force." He said eyes narrowed. Firamon took off at Wendigomon. The meadow was soon full of attacks. The battle raged on for hours. Miyu had taken shelter from the large blasts occurring. Kouen to, had taken cover. The digimon began to wear out. Both landed, panting. Firamon's legs were shaking terribly. "Your digimon isn't gonna last long if you keep this up!" Miyu yelled. "Shut up little girl, like you know anything, just look at your Wendigomon!" Kouen said gritting his teeth.

Miyu looked over to Wendigomon who was on her knees, her fists supporting her. Miyu ran over quickly, grabbing hold of the digimon's dark brown fur. "Are you alright?!" She asked in alarm. Wendigomon looked down with coal black eyes. "I'm fine, more importantly, are you alright?" She asked in a deep voice. Miyu nodded. "I-Its alright, just rest." She said as Wendigomon began to degenerate into Lopmon. Lopmon landed in Miyu's lap. "Di…Did I do okay?" Lopmon asked with a small smile, staring with coal black eyes. Miyu looked down, nodding with a smile.

Kouen snorted as Firamon began to degenerate. "Forgive me, Kouen-sama. I did not mean to fail you." He said as Kouen simply laid a hand on the digimon's bowed head. "Your lucky he didn't digivolve to mega." Kouen yelled as Miyu looked over sharply. "Watch your tongue. Just look at your Coronamon, he's in no condition to even move. Bring him inside." She said picking up Lopmon in her arms. Kouen hesitated but he knew that if he pushed Coronamon anymore, the digimon would surely die. He picked up the exhausted rookie and carried him inside to where Tasuke and Renee were waiting.

Is Kouen really one to be trusted?
