Anyway, let me know what you think and if you have suggestions on how the tamers (ryo) *cough...cough* should act around the chosen or his 'partner' feel free to comment. Thx

Chapter 10: Within the Void, Part 2

A boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes walks with his girlfriend. His girlfriend was a stubborn redhead with violet eyes. The young boy was groaning as he was dragged into yet another shop to get a get-well present for his best friend. He sighs as the redhead glares at him and demands for his credit card, which he reluctantly gives her.

In the distance the two digimon watch their Tamers with amusement. Renamon, a rookie, fox like digimon, was watching with a smile on her face, as Ruki demanded the credit card. This was the fifth store they've been to, but Ruki was picky on what to get Ken.

The metal cyborg ultimate, Cyberdramon, was just watching. He had a very unpleasant feeling. For once he could think clearly. It was as if Millenniummon was, for once, not fighting to gain control. He growled as he smelled someone. He hated his being. He was not a digimon, but he was a human either. That means he was him, the being known as Gennai.

Ryo was startled when he saw the robbed man. He thought he would never have to see him again. Not after all they put him and Ken through. He glared at the man as he approached them while they finished checking out.

"Akiyama Ryo, I'm so glad I found you." Ryo glared at the man from his past, but when his voice reached his ears he realized that the voice was different.

"What you want?" Ruki demanded harshly. "If I recall you have no right to look or even talk to my Ryo, Gennai!"

The man just blinked at her, taken aback by the young girl's harsh tone. "Please, let me introduce myself. I am Benjamin, Gennai's American counterpart."

"I don't care who you are!" Ruki snapped. "What do you want?"

Benjamin sighed. "I was sent to retrieve any Tamers that I can find. We are in great need of your assistance with-"

"Put a sock in it!" Ruki interrupted. "You have some nerve asking for help after what you did to Ryo all those years ago! Ask some other Tamers to help! Come on Ryo-kun!" Ruki stormed off with Ryo.

However, they didn't get that far when Benjamin words made their bloods run cold. "Millenniummon has managed to reawaken in Ichijouji Ken and is attacking him as we know it! He is in danger and needs your help!

He felt it the moment it happened. Call it brother's intuition, but he knew that his little brother was in trouble the moment it happened. He was in his apartment with his partner when he had his disturbing feeling. He knew something was wrong with his younger brother. His heart felt tight, and he was getting an empty feeling that was telling him that Ken was forgetting.

Ken never forgot anything. He had tried to contact his brother over the years, but that never turned out well. Ken would not allow him to enter his inner world. Though for some reason the barrier was closed. With a frown he turned to his partner.

"You feel it too?"

Takeru closes his eyes as Jose placed a device on his head. He and Patamon were going to go to Ken's Inner World. He smiles as he felt his mind drift and enter a place that looked like a battlefield.

Takeru appeared behind Daisuke as a blinding light faded. When the light faded there was a digimon he hadn't seen before. The digimon looked like a humanoid bug in a metal armor, claws, and red hair. "What's going on?" He asked startling Daisuke.

"Sheesh, TJ don't sneak up on me like that!" Takeru raised an eyebrow at that.

"Not my fault you weren't paying attention when I was transferred here."

Daisuke grumbled under his breath about stupid blond, by he ignored that comment. Takeru turned his attention to the awe looks the others were giving the new digimon.

"That's amazing," Sora breathed.

"Prodigious!" Koushiro exclaimed. "Ken-kun and GranKuwagamon became a digimon!"

Takeru sucked in a breath as he turned his full attention to the Mega Level Digimon. "Ken-kun?"

"Well, this is new," came Stingmon's voice as the digimon stared at his new form.

"This is so cool," came Ken's, followed by a soft giggle. "So what's our name?" Ken asked.

"GrandisKuwagamon," Stingmon replied.

GrandisKuwagamon blinked his one eye. "That's not very original," Ken's voice commented. "All we did was add 'dis' to your last mega form's name."

GrandisKuwagamon lifted both of his claws in exasperation. "This is not my fault!"

Takeru smiled, despite the weirdness that two voices are coming from one digimon. Though it was hilarious that Ken seemed to be teasing his partner. He wondered if this what it was like for Angemon to Jogress with Ankylomon.

"What just happened?" Taichi asked Gennai.

"This is Biomerge Digivolution," Gennai answered. "The Tamers use this Digivolution in their universe to achieve the Mega form."

"The Tamers?" Everyone but Daisuke and Takeru asked.

"Isn't that Ryo guy a Tamer?" Daisuke asked Takeru.

"Yep," Takeru said with a nod as he saw GrandisKuwagamon jump onto the air to help Omnimon.

"Transcendent Sword!"

"Grandis Scissor!"

Omnimon had heard rumors of this type of digivolution. He has never seen it in person though. Though seeing the way Ken and Stingmon were working together to fight it made him think what I would be like to Biomerge with Taichi and Yamato. Would it be like when they Jogress? Would they evolve to a different, more powerful mega form?

It would be better then having them on the sidelines where they could get hurt, MetalGarurumon thought from their shared minds.

True, WarGreymon thought as Millenniummon returned to his senses and roared in rage. It would be nice to not have Taichi get targeted while we fight.

Or have them run to us when we get hurt.

"Transcendent Sword!" Omnimon deflects Millenniummon's energy blast with his sword.

I don't know how we ended up with such stubborn partners, WarGreymon thought.

"Grandis Scissor!" GrandisKuwagamon yells as he attacks with his pinchers.

Luck, I guess, MetalGarurumon commented as they tried to dodge Millenniummon's attack.

"Heat Vapor!"

Both GrandisKuwagamon and Omnimon dodged the attack, but the shock waves of the attack was to much for them; resulting with them crashing into the ground below.

"This is getting us nowhere," Omnimon said with a groan. "We need more help to defeat Millenniummon."

"He is the least of your worries insects."

This was cool on so many levels. Ken never thought Biomerging was this cool. Sure Takato, Ruki, and the other Tamers talked about it, but it was different actually going through it. Ken looks at the pink data that was floating around him. He wasn't sure if he appreciated not having his clothes while in this sphere. Then again, no one can see him, except maybe Stingmon who he cannot see.

It was odd though. He could feel his partner, like he was right there next to him. Maybe it was because they have merge together. He was data now, or at least inside this sphere of data, protected and safe, but still cool though.

Ken winced as they fell to the hard ground. Yeah, he was going to feel that in the morning, if he survived this battle that is.

"Stingmon, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay," Stingmon's voice said from somewhere around him. "I'm really starting to hate him though."

Ken laughs at this. "I liked it a lot better when he was sealed away. It was hurtful, but at least he didn't cause that much damage."

"And what about the time when he created your alter ego to trap you. He almost took over the Digital World."

Ken grimaced. "Yeah, but he didn't."

"He is the least of your worries insect." Ken groaned as he heard the voice.

"Speak of the devil," Stingmon commented. "I was wondering when he would show his ugly self."

Takeru winced as Omnimon and GrandisKuwagamon fell to the ground. He wasn't sure how this Biomerge Digivolution worked, but he hoped that Ken wasn't getting hurt. It looked like that fall hurt quite a bit, especially from that height.

"They need help!" Hikari exclaims in worry.

"If Omnimon and GrandisKuwagamon can't beat him, what makes you think we can?" Miyako asked. Takeru rolled his eyes at her negativity.

"We have to try!" Daisuke yells in frustration.

"Tk!" Patamon yells suddenly. Takeru didn't like the anxiety in his voice. "It's the Kaiser!"

"The Kaiser?" The others asked. Takeru realized that they didn't know that Ken and the Kaiser are two separate personalities.

"Quick Patamon, digivolve!" He was not going to let the Kaiser hurt his Ken.

He purrs in delight. He enjoyed seeing little Ken confused and beaten. Well, he was being protected by the damn insect. He would have to fix that now wouldn't he?

"Did you really think you could beat the master so easily?" The Kaiser asked with a smirk. "How stupid are you? I thought you were smarter than that Ken-chan. Oh wait! It was never you who was the smart one. It was me the whole time. It's no wonder everyone hates you and blames you for everything."

"Shut up!" The Kaiser glared at the insect through his tinted glasses.

"I wasn't talking to you, insect," he hissed darkly. Unfortunately the bug was not backing down. He was being even more protective then usual. Oh, well. He had other ways to get little Ken-chan. The bug can't hide him from the truth. "Why don't you come out Ken-chan?" The Kaiser asked sweetly. "You don't think they are truly your friends do you?"

"Don't listen to him Ken-chan! He's lying!"

The Kaiser glanced at the stupid Chosen and their stupid digimon. He smirked as he saw his worthy adversary and the pathetic child of Hope. "Think about it, Ken-chan. They only befriended you because they needed your crest. They needed your power; your digimon."

"Okay that enough!" The Kaiser scoffs at the stupid Royal Knight.

"I don't think so," the Kaiser lifts up his gloved hand, lifting the stupid digimon in the air.

"What's going on? How are you doing this?" Omnimon asks as he finds himself being lifted by some invisible force.

"You forget this is Ken-chan's world. I'm part of him, making me all powerful," he smirks at the collective gaps from both the stupid digimon and the stupid Chosen. "Why don't you do me a favor and get killed?" He flicks his wrist and watches in satisfaction as Amnion is tossed like rag doll, colliding with Millenniummon, who was still charging his canons. He laughs madly at the explosion that was created and the screams from Kamiya and Ishida was just priceless. Though in all honestly, if he had any, he probably should have paid attention to the angel that was flying towards him, in addition to the six newcomers coming out of a portal.
