A/N: Hey everyone, this chapter is going to be the memories of different characters, including the Corruption Tamers. BTW, BEST OC Maker, I know I said that I wouldn't accept a certain character for the Corruption Tamers, but I want to include him somehow, so I'll have him as a random vigilante; that, you know, never succeeds in any endeavor.
Memories
"Blake, what are you thinking about?" A voice yawned from a cave near Togemon's hut, inside were Lucas and Eric, along with four other figures.
"Nothing Phascomon, just go back to sleep." One of the figures said harshly, although he wouldn't admit it, he was secretly glad that his partners were showing concern for him. He wasn't really troubled, he was just reflecting on the events leading to him being here.
Flashback
I win again Blake." Artur's voice said, he was talking to another boy about his age, the other boy had black hair and onyx colored eyes, he wore goggles, one with a green lens and one with a red lens. He wore a fur lined jacked and black leather boots.
"You just got lucky, Blaze." The other boy, named Blake said.
"Yeah, just like I got lucky the last fifty times I beat you." Artur said, Blake could imagine his rival rolling his eyes. "Just face it, you'll never be as good as me." The two boys had been playing a video game online, and Artur had won again.
"Grr... You'll see Blaze, I'll beat you soon." Blake said with venom in his tone. He disconnected and went to playing by himself, "Stupid Artur, I'll show him..." All of a sudden a hole opened from his computer, and out from it came a small masked being, a sleeping bear, and a small child-like being that seemed to be dressed in a black jester outfit. The masked being landed on Blake's iPad, and two small fangs poked out and buried themselves inside the tablet, the tablet started to short circuit, and the masked being got up.
"Dracmon at your service," The small masked being, now known as Dracmon said, "My compatriots, Impmon and Phascomon, and I have come to offer you our services." Dracmon said, pointing to the child-like being and the sleeping bear as he said their names, revealing them to be known as Impmon and Phascomon. "Your anger has drawn us from the digital world to feed-I mean feel your emotions and help you solve your problems." He said.
"You broke my iPad." Blake deadpanned, "And-Wait, what's happening to it?" The iPad was shown to be be covered in a dark purple light, as it changed into a small brick sized device. "Wait a second, I recognize this design, my sister's new 'phone' looks just like this but pink." Blake said as he picked up the newly formed Cross Loader Digivice.
"Hey Blake, can you-" Blake's sister walked into the room but stopped short when she saw the three digimon in her brother's room. "You have to be kidding me." She said. Then a Rift opened up and sucked them into it.
Present
And now that Ponchomon was dealing with that nuisance named Artur Blaze once and for all. Another figure though was worried for Artur's wellbeing...
Flashback
"Wow Artur, that's so cool, you beat big brother!" Blake's sister was shown talking to Artur at his house while he was playing with Blake online, beating him again.
"Eh it's no big deal." Artur said.
"Artur, tell your friend to go home, it's time for lunch!" Artur's mother yelled from the top of the stairs.
"'Kay Mom." Artur yelled back. "Sorry Rene, guess you'll have to head home."
"Oh... okay." Rene said looking a little forlorn, she quickly looked up and put a fake smile on her face, "I guess I'll get going then." She said, she left the house and headed across the street to her own house. "Oh... I wish I could tell him how I feel about him." She said, looking longingly back towards Artur's home. She sighed and went through her own front door, in her room she saw three eggs huddled into a corner, and immediately went to comfort them, when she reached them, all three hatched into white furballs with big beady black eyes and little ears on the tops of their heads. "Who are you?"
"We're YukimiBotamon!" All three of them said in unison.
"Well, why did you hatch in my room?" She asked.
"Because we're your partners!" The one at the front of the pack said, that one seemed kind of golden compared to the others, another seemed to be more gray than white, while the last one's fur was tinted orange.
"That's right." The gray one said.
"Yippity yup!" The orange one agreed.
A few days later she got her X-loader, and a few months later, she was sent into the digital world with her brother.
Present
"Mikemon, I need you to loosen the bindings of those two who were traveling with Artur, okay?" Rene asked a calico cat digimon next to her.
"Are you sure? Your brother's gonna be real mad when he finds out." The calico cat, revealed to be Mikemon asked.
"I'm sure, my little tiger, just loosen the knot, they'll be able to escape while Blake and the rest of the Corruption Tamers are busy watching Ponchomon try to beat Artur." Rene whispered back. "Just be quiet about it, and don't let BlackGatomon or Gatomon know about it."
"Why not Gatomon?" Mikemon asked, as far as he knew, Gatomon kind of hated the methods of the CTs. Heck, even Rene hated their methods.
"Gatomon and BlackGatomon can DNA Digivolve now, remember?" Rene said, recently Gatomon and BlackGatomon were successful in DNA Digivolving into Mastemon, an angel Digimon with the power to control both light and darkness. "If you told Gatomon, she would have to work really hard to keep a mental block on that information."
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Mikemon said sheepishly, as Salamon, BlackGatomon had been like Gatomon, but when she digivolved, she became more evil and actually enjoys torturing digimon.
"Hurry, I have a feeling that either Ponchomon or Artur aren't going to last too much longer, and knowing my brother, he won't let Artur's friends go if he succeeds." Rene said, Mikemon had been the only living being that she had actually admitted she had a crush on Artur to, as Mikemon considered her his "Mother" of a sort.
Mikemon snuck to the back of the cave where the two humans and their digimon partners were tied up, as he approached, Lucas looked up. "What are you doing here?" He asked quietly, he seemed to recognize the cat digimon before him, as it, along with a white cat digimon, had been the only digimon to look sad and upset when they were captured.
"I'm here to help you escape, I can't tell you why mom wants to help you, but trust me, you need to stay quiet, you'll know when to actually pull free of the ropes." Mikemon said as he cut a single rope, allowing the two boys to break free with little energy used. Next he went to the digimon were held, and pulled Gaomon's headband off of his head with a nod from Gaomon, he put the headband around Monodramon's mouth, who woke up and started to say something that was muffled by the headband. "Quiet, I'm here to help you, you'll need to be quiet, and not try to fight us, if you do, I can't guarantee you won't be deleted." Mikemon said to the struggling Monodramon. Gaomon whispered something into Monodramon's ear, and Monodramon instantly stopped struggling. Mikemon cut another strand of the rope, and then he left quietly.
"What are you doing Mikemon?" A cold voice called from behind Mikemon, another boy stepped out of the shadows.
"S-S-Sam, w-what are you doing back here?" Mikemon asked in a shaky voice.
"I'm here guarding the prisoners, who will now escape thanks to you." The boy, Sam, said. "Of course, knowing Blake, he probably wouldn't let them go even if that fool of a tamer manages to beat Ponchomon, so I'll bet Rene wanted you to make sure they weren't harmed." Sam said, guessing the exact reason why Rene had sent him except for one small part. "Oh, and it's probably because they're the friends of that boy she finds 'amusing,' or something like that." Sam said, hitting the nail on the head.
Meanwhile Eric was thinking about how he met his partner.
Flashback
"Alright, just have to program a few more instances, and now put in the algorithm for learning..." Eric was seen while programming something on a computer, and as appeared to be his habit, was talking to himself while doing it. "Now, what digimon should I have him be..." Eric began pondering. "Oh! How about just a Digi-Egg at first, then depending on the way you treat it, it changes the type of digimon it becomes." Eric said as he put in the entire database of digimon he had been compiling for the past three years. "... and done! Now to start the program and see if it works." Eric said, he clicked a button on the programming application on his computer, and a Digi-Egg appeared on the screen. "Yes, I did it! Now to see if the personality program works, how about the brawler personality." He clicked on a specific button, and all of a sudden his screen turned white, and a real Digi-Egg flew out and landed in his arms. "What!?" Eric exclaimed as a crack formed on the shell of the egg. A small purple digimon popped out, and Eric recognized it immediately as Ketomon, the Fresh level of Monodramon.
"I wanna fight, I wanna fight!" The small purple blob was shouting.
Present
Thinking back on it, Eric realized that he was the reason that Monodramon's personality changed when he was reborn.
Elsewhere...
"Hey Opal, where are you leading us?" Kara asked.
"I have no idea, I just follow my nose..." Opal said.
"... For the Fruity taste that shows!" BlackGatomon finished. BlackGatomon and her tamer both fell over laughing.
"Are you sure it was the best idea to let her be our leader?" Selina asked Kara.
"I'm beginning to regret it, if that answers your question." Kara replied, "But TranscendentLadyDevimon is stronger than Sirenmon and Taomon combined." Kara then added, "That and she won the Rock-Paper-Scissors contest."
"I have a feeling we're doomed." Renamon whispered to Alraumon.
"Agreed." Alraumon deadpanned, "Don't forget that we have to keep them from killing themselves, which so far has been impossible." So far the group had run across multiple Ultimate level digimon along the way, and the humans' digimon partners were getting worn out. "I hope we find Anubismon soon, he'll know what to do."
"Agreed."
