(Hi guys it's been a while since I updated this. Well I'm back with another chapter for you all and I hope you enjoy it.)

Meanwhile on the Trailmon Hotaru and Impmon were on there way to the Village of Beginnings.

"We should be there soon." Impmon said to Hotaru.

"Good, the sooner I get my beast spirit the more assured I'll be in saving my brother." She replied.

"He really is important huh?" the deviant Digimon asked.

"He's the only family I have left."

"Well lucky you, I have no family." Impmon said taking a seat on the Trailmon beside her.

"Everyone has family." Hotaru said to him.

"Yeah, well the only thing I considered family doesn't really exist anymore."

"You mean Yumemon?" she asked.

"Yeah." Impmon said looking down, "I felt sad for her she said she had no clue who her family was either." Impmon said, "I made visits to her, but Lucemon caught on and brought her with us." He started flashing back to a moment in the past.

Beelzemon was wandering a deserted town until he spotted Yuemon holding a ball, "Mr. Beelzemon you came back again!"

"Well I had some free time." Beelzemon said covering his real feelings not wanting to look soft.

"Then will you play with me?" Yumemon asked while holding the ball.

"Yeah why not?" Beelzemon said knowing no one's around to see him.

Yumemon played smiling and laughing as Beelzemon felt happy to see she was enjoying herself. Yumemon turned to the mega, "I'm glad that you always come to play with me its no fun playing by myself."

"Well being alone isn't really a good thing." He replied.

"Are you ever alone?"

"Well sort of, I do have my own kind, but I never feel like I'm really a part of them." He admitted.

"Well then maybe your not suppose to be." Yumemon said.

"Hmm?"

"Maybe the reason why you don't feel a part of them is because you don't belong with them." The little Digimon said being wise.

"But they're my Demon Lord brethren, why wouldn't I belong with them?"

"Maybe because you follow different beliefs than them." She suggested.

"Well only I seem to have pride." Beelzemon said.

"Then maybe you could leave" Yumemon said suddenly getting an idea "You could stay with me and be my big brother I've always wanted one."

Beelzemon looked surprised at this offer, "Yumemon, I-I don't know what to say."

"Then just say yes silly." Yumemon said smiling.

"Well I..." Beelzemon started, "I will."

"Hooray" Yumemon said hugging Beelzemon smiling.

Beelzemon smiled but looked around knowing he'd be in serious trouble. He suddenly froze seeing Lucemon who had one of his smirks.

"How sentimental Beelzemon."

"Lucemon!"

Yumemon looked seeing Lucemon holding on to Beelzemon as the other Mega spoke to the Biker, "Now I know you were planning on handing that girl over weren't you?" Lucemon asked.

This confused Yumemon as Beelzemon looked at Hotaru and Lucemon who was still smirking.

"Beelzemon?" Yumemon asked.

"I-I was Lucemon." Beelzemon swallowed his words.

"Splendid." Lucemon smirked snatching Yumemon who screamed in fright before Lucemon covered her mouth. The young Digimon struggled she got so angry that she bite Lucemon, "Ouch! Little brat!" he zapped her and she screamed in pain.

Lucemon turned to Beelzemon, "You had me worried there Beelzemon, I actually thought you were going to double cross us. I apologize for having doubts about you." he smirked.

Yumemon looked at Beelzemon tears coming down as Lucemon spoke to her, "You'll be coming with us now."

Yumemon spoke while shaking her head, "Stay away you're scary" she said tossing dirt at Lucemon who brushed it off.

"Cute." he said as he restrained her.

Yumemon kept struggling and spoke, "Beelzemon help me!". But Beelzemon only looked guilty and did nothing. Lucemon held on to Yumemon as he disappeared with her. Beelzemon looked down in guilt and betrayal. He then got angry punching a tree breaking it with tears falling from his eyes. "What have I done?" he dropped to his knees, "I'm sorry!"

He later on made it back to the castle seeing Lucemon on his own throne, "Where is she?" he demanded.

"So concerned are you, well Barbamon's taking care of her." The little kid answered.

Beelzemon frowned as he took Lucemon by his robe and spoke, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't take your code!"

"Beelzemon!"

Beelzemon looked seeing Daemon and the others, "What is this I sense, kindness in you?"

"You forget who you are, you're a demon Lord." Lilithmon reminded him.

Beelzemon spoke dropping Lucemon, "Yes sir."

"Good, and just to humor you I'm willing to make you her personal guard just so she doesn't feel lonely." Daemon offered.

"I'll take the job." Beelzemon said while looking down.

"I thought you would." Daemon said as the other lords laughed.

Beelzemon shook off their laughter and walked the castle and could hear Yumemon's screams of pain. Beelzemon froze as her screams haunted his mind making him guiltier. He covered his ears and ran as far as he could from the dungeon back to his own room.

He muttered to himself, "Why did I do that?"

Yumemon's words haunted him, "Help me!"

Beelzemon thought in determination, 'If I ever get the chance I'll make things right again!'

The flashback ended and Impmon spoke to Hotaru, "But I never did." He moved his bandana seeing the necklace, "This is all I have left of her."

"Even though you were ordered to destroy it you still held onto it." The girl said.

"Like I said it's all I have left of her, now that's she's gone." He continued, "Every time I look at it, it makes me think of how things should have been. I was going to be her brother. I loved her like that you know?" Impmon said as tear came down. "But after what Lucemon did the Yumemon I knew was no more."

"Impmon." Hotaru said feeling bad for him.

"I'll never see her again, and it's my fault!" Impmon blamed himself in frustration until he felt Hotaru pull him close and sang a lullaby her mother sang to her and her brother, a song known as Once Upon a December.

Impmon gasped at the embrace as Hotaru sang Impmon imagined things such as himself with Yumemon as a family, which flashed to him as his mega level in a ball room he saw Yumemon in the middle dancing. He smiled watching her perform as Yumemon twirled changing into two forms one was AncientSaturnmon and the other was different her black hair now reached all the way down to her back and she wore an elegant sliver and gold outer layer kimono with star pattern; short junihitoe with mixed color of blue, yellow and red; using a long okobi.

Beelzemon continued watching her enjoying herself until the version of her in the kimono took his hand smiling making him look hesitant until he got up and he danced between the two as they twirled toward another it was Hotaru wearing a beautiful grape purple dress smiling with the two next to her.

Beelzemon finally let loose and had fun with it smiling seeing the two become one with Hotaru as she sang, "And a song some one sings...Once upon a December."

Beelzemon shed a tear as he awoke realizing he was Impmon again and looked up at Hotaru, "Hotaru?"

"Hm?" she asked.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For reminding me just how important Yumemon really was to me."

Hotaru smiled like Yumemon as Impmon hugged her and thought, 'Yumemon if you're really in there I will make things right.'

Suddenly Worm the Trailmon called, "Here's your stop!"

Hotaru looked out and gasped seeing the tree of Rebirth and all the Digi-Eggs surrounding it. She and Impmon walked off the Trailmon as she thought, 'So this is the village of beginnings.'

Impmon looked around, "Wow, this place it's so pure."

Hotaru was looking at the Digi-Eggs, "So many of them."

"Each one contains a newborn Digimon." Impmon said.

Hotaru thought, 'A newborn.' She looked around thinking, 'My Beast Spirit is somewhere here, if only there was some kind of sign.' She then looked seeing one egg who had color patterns like when she was Saturnmon. 'Could that be?' she thought as she went to touch it.

Before she could lay a hand on it a large tail wrapped around her waist making her look to see it was Leviamon, "Hands off the egg!"

"Let go!" Hotaru ordered while struggling.

"Sorry but that beast spirit will be ours, as well as the glaive." Leviamon said.

"Bada Boom!" A fireball hit his face while it may not have hurt it got Leviamon's attention and he saw Impmon, "Figures you'd be with her traitor."

"Traitor is such a harsh word." The little imp replied.

"You're right, you're trash!" Leviamon said to spite him. Hotaru suddenly bit Leviamon's tail, "Ouch!" he shouted losing his hold on the girl as she glared at him with eyes like Yumemon's.

Impmon looked to her, "You know Yumemon did that to Lucemon to, on his hand." Impmon added.

"Well guess I got that habit from her to." Hotaru joked.

Leviamon looked at Hotaru and licked his lips, "You both will be an appetizer before I hit the main course." he motions to all the Digi-Eggs.

Impmon thought remembering about Leviamon's reputation, 'Yeah Leviamon could literally guzzle the entire Digital World with his jaws.'

"I'm not going to let you eat these babies!" Hotaru shouted.

"Try and stop me." He challenged her.

"You'll regret that!" she called taking out her wand and D-Tector, "Execute spirit evolution… Saturnmon!"

Saturnmon swung her silence glaive at Leviamon as the Croc Digimon moved it's head, "Cauda!" he swung his tail at her. Saturnmon jumped backwards as Impmon took cover. Leviamon then licked his lips and spoke, "I think it's time for a recharge." he used his tail to grab a Digi-Egg tossing it into the air and landed in his mouth.

Saturnmon then hit the Demon Lord with the Silence Glaive, "Spit it out!" she yelled angrily.

He coughed it up before it went through his digestive track as Impmon caught it, "This is not the best place to fight." he said to himself.

Saturnmon started to push Leviamon away from the village, "I will...protect these eggs"

"Never!" Leviamon fought back with his enormous jaws.

Saturnmon kept it up but she had dedigivolved when Leviamon used a sneak attack with his tail, "Hotaru!" Impmon cried.

"One down, one to go." Leviamon turned to Impmon who got ready even though he was no match at his current level.

"Leave Impmon alone!" Hotaru called as she got up and stood before Impmon stretching her arms out to block him.

"You're a fool thinking you can protect this traitor." Leviamon shot at her.

"My brother taught me to protect others especially when it comes to bullies like you!" Hotaru declared.

"Oh now you're going to make me cry." Leviamon said in mocking sadness, "And besides your brother is now the vessel to our master."

"I'm going to get him back!" she declared while glaring at him.

"Fool, don't you get it, by the time you get to him it will have been too late. The one you knew as your brother will be long gone."

"No my brother is in there because my brother never gives up with out a fight!" Hotaru yelled.

"Well this is one fight he cannot come out victor."

"You're wrong...YOU'RE WRONG!" she shouted.

Just then the Digi-Egg that had the coloring of Saturnmon glowed flying over to Hotaru.

"The Digi-Egg." Impmon gasped seeing it was activated by her emotions.

"No you must not have the spirit it's mine!" Leviamon tried to grab it with his jaws until Impmon jumped forward catching it, "Hotaru go long!" he tossed it.

The egg hatched showing a statuette of a panther, "Beast Spirit come to me!" Hotaru called holding her D-Tector to it. The statue was sucked into the device as the symbol of Rebirth appeared on the screen of it as a voice echoed, "It is time!"

Hotaru looked determined as she held the wand inserting it the opposite way of her human spirit, "Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!" she called and growled like a beast as the data wrapped around her.

Suddenly appearing was a black panther with maroon, white, and lavender armor, with its tail having the Silence Glaive's blade on the tip of it. "Panteramon!" it called.

Leviamon looked at the beast that was growling with its violet eyes glowing, "The Beast of Rebirth!" he gasped.

"She's got the beast spirit now, with both now AncientSaturnmon could be reborn.' Impmon thought.

Leviamon growled, "You think I fear you now that you have a Beast Spirit?"

"I don't think, I know!" Panteramon replied, and attacked by clawing his jaw and made him growl in response to the attack. She followed up using another attack, "Panther blast!" she released a blast from her mouth.

Leviamon got his and groaned in pain, "Whoa!" Impmon gasped.

"Had enough Leviamon?" Panteramon challenged him.

"Hardly!" he used his jaws to attack.

"Try some of this!" she began as the blade tip of her tail glowed, "Silence Slash!" the attack put a cut in his jaw and he cried.

"Ooh that had to hurt." Impmon groaned.

Leviamon growled at the beast, "You're finished!" he attempted to use his jaws to chomp her.

"Ebony blast!" a familiar voice called as the attack nailed Leviamon.

He groaned and saw it came from none other than JagerLowemon who growled.

"Kouichi-kun!" Panteramon said as he stood by her.

"I figured you could se some back up." He said as the two beasts circled the Demon Lord, "It's over Leviamon, you're finished!" JagerLowemon said.

"Wait a minute, can't we talk?" Leviamon asked.

"Talk is over!" Panteramon called as the armor on her glowed as did the rubies on JagerLowemon.

"Dark Master!"

"Silence Queen!"

The two combined attacks collided with Leviamon as he screamed as his fractal code appeared, "I think you should take this." JagerLowemon said to her.

Panteramon nodded as fractal code surround her, "Panteramon slide evolution...Saturnmon!"

Saturnmon faced Leviamon and summoned her D-Tector, "Foul demon lord fall into silence and be purified" Saturnmon said holding her D-Tector, "Fractal code, digitize!"

The Code was being absorbed into her D-Tector and when it was all absorbed she looked on the screen to see an image of Leviamon. The Digi-Egg left behind floated off to a section of the village. Saturnmon smiled as JagerLowemon and Impmon looked at her as she De-Digivolved followed by Kouichi who went over to help her up, "Come on let's head back home." Kouichi offered.

"Right." Hotaru said as he helped her along as Impmon raced after them, "Hey wait for me!"

Meanwhile with the Demon Lords Ogudomon was furious, "Leviamon has failed me!"

"It was meant to be if he could not accomplish his mission." Daemon replied.

"And now she has the Beast Spirit!" Ogudomon looking at the crystal ball seeing Hotaru. He recalled what she said prior before Digivolving, 'My brother is in there because my brother never gives up with out a fight.' he then spoke, "So she thinks her brother will never give up. Well little girl I will make sure he does surrender." He looked at her image, "Because my dear you are his Achilles heel."

He turned to the other Lords, "Be ready for when they return to the real world they will once again attempt to find us."

"And you sir?" Belphemon yawned.

"I still have preparations; after all I need my hearts." He replied and motioned to Hotaru's image, "And the girl still needs to be monitored, her and Impmon." He began hatching a plan, "Wait a minute, I think I've got something here."

"What my lord?" Daemon asked curiously.

Ogudomon smirked and motioned to Hotaru, "Let's see who you treasure more an old friend. Or your own brother?" he snickered.

(And there's the chapter, Hotaru has the Beast Spirit but Ogudomon has another plan in store for her and it ain't pretty.)
