Here is another chapter~! :3 And I have a story cover up too~! :3 It is of Omnimon's emblem here. It is the Crest of Friendship with the points of the Crest of Courage, but this will become a golden color on his cape later on. The only thing that is not is the grey slash mark. :3
(Shows a form in shadow before light flares from behind it, a cape waving in the breeze before the light envelopes the form)
Start Period - FullMetal Alchemist OST
(A white form with golden accents can be seen before it whirls around, a sword with runes on it coming out of the orange arm that looks like a WarGreymon head and swinging said blade)
Title - GrimmFall: Tales of Many
(Shows the sword flashing before fading to black)
At last, we're here at the halfway point (A set of blue eyes opens, as it shows the white and gold figure standing on a hill, his cape waving slightly in the gentle breeze)
In the heart of our endless journey (The form begins to run, passing trees and mountains, only to encounter a hoard of Grimm)
At last, while everything still is calm (The gold white and gold figure draws out his sword, an image a form in a white cloak with a Grimm image on the back and a knightly figure in shadow appearing above him)
Take a deep breath (The Digimon closes his blue eyes before a white, gold, and blue Aura flares around him)
We both have just begun to grasp it (Six forms are shown in shadow, with six more forms glowing in red, white, teal, yellow, dark purple, and light purple lights)
But it's slipped out of our hands (The lights fade into blackness, which fades to show the same knightly figure in shadow becoming enveloped in darkness)
And we will learn from those fragile mistakes (The darkness separates to show a dark-armored Knight Digimon, facing down the white and gold Digimon as dark purple eyes lock onto bright blue ones)
'til nothing stands in our way (The white and gold Digimon lunges forwards, certain sections of the runes on his sword glowing as he swings it at a form behind said Knight Digimon, sword clashing with a lance as the other Digimon blocks the blow)
An unbreakable bond will forever link our hearts (Light flares from the impact point, revealing two glowing symbols, one orange and one blue before the two spin and fuse to become one symbol, a yin-yang symbol with the points of the orange sun-like symbol all around it, the whole thing gold in color)
There's no spell, no hell, that will undo us (The symbol flares before it fades to show six more symbols, all glowing the same colors as the six figures from before)
We have made it here at last (The symbols flare before it shows Major Glory with two figures appearing above him, one male in black and gold armor, one female with large butterfly wings on her back)
In this never-ending dance (Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are shown outside the Duck's Burrow resort, Bugs with his rifle on his shoulder)
And we'll live through this period of time (Camera speeds away from the two, heading up towards the sun before focusing in on the white-armored Knight Digimon as he walks down a road, looking up at the sky as he comes to a stop)
It's love that rushes within my veins (The sun flares before it shows Abigail and Nigel with Monty Uno, the latter hugging the two beside a campfire, an image of the Digimon behind them)
It keeps me warm on my darkest days (Two symbols, the teal and red ones, flare as it shows ice and fire, fading to become Nigel's Semblance before it flares to become both elements with two forms within them, one with a red symbol and one with a teal symbol on their forms)
Just like this one single memory, may it not fade (The forms fade Abigail seems to gasp as she takes in the sight of the white Knight Digimon before her)
I will promise you that I'll do everything I can (The Digimon runs forwards, sword out as he slashes at a Fallen with monkey-like hands and feet)
And I will take you along (The Fallen unleashes a monkey-shaped blast of energy from his left hand, to which the Digimon fires his cannon, the two energy shots exploding in midair)
And this song (overflows) (A pink-haired young woman on a screen is shown singing, but from the bridge of the Absolution where TOM is sitting)
Like a wave (and it glows) (A white ship with what could only be described as legs is shown before glowing and vanishing in a flash of white light, leaving behind a beacon)
Everything in life sings along (The same pink-haired young woman is shown in the screen again, but this time in what could only be described as space colonies around another Earth, this one overlapping with the GrimmFall Earth before both flare)
Don't you are look away (Light fades as it shows the same knight Digimon from before, but with his eyes locked onto a Grimm before charging at it, his sword pulsing with blue energy)
From this one reality (The energy pulse fades to reveal the same six forms from before, but with a targeting scope-like symbol behind them)
Find the courage to stand up and fight (Said symbol fades to reveal Phil Ken Sebben with the rest of the Justice Friends around him, Major Glory in the background above them all)
Turn your anger into strength (Sun flares, fading to show the Digimon's Aura flaring to life as he fights a Grimm.)
Melting sadness in its wake (The Grimm fades to black in color, which zooms out to show an eye, revealing Bugs Bunny firing his rifle at the Fallen known as Granny)
'til you find your fate, waiting here always (Granny attacks, but Bugs's explosive Dust rounds hit her defenses, forcing her away from two forms, one of which is Daffy and a glowing yellow form)
So look ahead and carry on (The glow envelopes the screen, fading to show the white Knight Digimon walking down a snowy road)
It's a glittering new world (Snow parts to show a glittering city in the mountains, a mechanical form in shadow over it)
I am shaken to my core (Major Glory is shown with a shaken look on his face as he stares at two smaller forms as lines of coding fade from around them)
By the cries that call my name (Shows the white Knight Digimon looking up as the same knightly form in shadow reaches out its hand towards him)
They're the ones that I will never betray (The form fades as the Digimon steps back, protecting Abigail and Nigel)
We have made it here at last (The six glowing forms from before are shown, hands overlapping as they reconnect)
May this future never end (Light fades to show the futuristic city from before, with seven forms in front of it, facing it)
And we'll live through this period of time (The Knight Digimon looks back, just in time to see a light flaring from behind him, stepping back in shock)
At our fingertips, the truth will align (Shows seven hands and one WarGreymon head-hand reaching out as light flares from behind them)
Opening Files: Warrior of Darkness
Evil to the core, and unable to feel anything but anger, hatred, and rage, possessing all the abilities of a Grimm and Fallen, sinister looking armor and blood red eyes with a pale face and a mouth full of sharp teeth. That is the image that most think of when they hear the title Warrior of Darkness. However, that is not the case in the case of Lowemon, a Digimon and one of the Ten Legendary Warriors. In contrast to his element, this Digimon is actually one of the kindest beings out there, and his calm demeanor only backs this up.
However, while he might be nice and very calm, he is known as the Warrior of Darkness for a very good reason. Lowemon is not a foe to underestimate or even think of as a weakling because of his kind nature. When push comes to shove, the Warrior of Darkness will unleash his full power, or so it seems. In reality, while he might appear to be going at full strength, this Digimon actually holds back his own power, so as to not hurt others with it. This can make him appear to be weak, but in reality he just might be the strongest of the Legendary Warriors due to this tendency.
Lowemon might have dark-colored armor and red eyes, but he is not a Fallen, and his actions only back this claim up. In a fight against the Grimm and Fallen, the Warrior of Darkness is a dangerous foe, mostly because he uses the element of Darkness to his advantage. At night, his power is at its strongest, so it is advised to avoid a confrontation with him during this time unless one wishes to get beaten soundly.
"The world is not what is expected at times." TOM said as he closed the file on the Warrior of Darkness. "Like take that white ship for instance. They are supposed to be ghosts, and yet they are not." He leaned back in his chair and pressed a button on the left armrest. He then faced the screens that showed an angel that looked holy before the angel gained six demonic looking wings and grew taller and more menacing.
TOM then faced the cameras. "This angel became dark and fell from grace, yet he retained his light powers. That should show that not everything assumed about such a being is correct. Light was never truly good here, just as darkness was never truly evil." He continued. "So, will you continue to see the world as you want to see it! Or will you try to see the world as it truly is?"
GrimmFall
Justice Friends HQ
Major Glory watched as the Digimon on the floor fell into unconsciousness, worry showing itself on his face. Already the boy, Jimmy, was panicking, but that wasn't helping much. Beside the symbol of peace, Lowemon put a hand on the Digimon's head, only to pull his hand back quickly. "He has a fever..."
Looking at Valhallen, Major Glory spoke. "Care to explain what happened here, Valhallen?"
The God of Rock nodded. "Sure, Glory-boy. But I think the Jimster here can do a better job of it than I can."
"Um...well...I was k-kidnapped...by Katz...and then...t-this guy came and s-saved me..." The boy began, stammering out and summing up what happened to him in a single sentence. He...he apparently f-fought K-Katz..." Jimmy stammered out with a squeak to his voice. "I-I heard his s-screams...I t-think K-Katz used h-his S-Semblance..."
Major Glory frowned at that. If what was in the database on Katz was correct, it seemed his Semblance created a fever if eye contact was broken suddenly by a loud enough racket. But that left one question. "Where did you guys come from?" The hero asked as Jimmy pointed down the road, right where some smoke was rising into the air above what had once been the posh Katz Tail Salon.
Valhallen saw that as well and whistled. "So that place was a front for his illegal activities..." The Rock God mused before he looked at Major Glory. "I think the fire alarms inside would break the guy's concentration, wouldn't they?"
The major nodded. "Yes, they would." He rumbled in agreement. Kazemon looked up from where she was kneeling next to the unconscious Digimon.
"Is...is this common?" She asked, glancing back down at the feverish warrior, who was now panting a bit.
Major Glory looked to Valhallen. "Valhallen, get him down to the medical wing." He ordered as the God of Rock nodded.
"Sure thing." He said before he walked back over and picked up the unconscious Digimon. Once he had a firm grip on the warrior, Valhallen made his way down to the medical wing. Lowemon and Kazemon were quick to follow him, the boy Jimmy right behind, or he would have had Major Glory not grabbed him by his shirt.
"Not so fast, little man." Major Glory said seriously. "I want to know just how you came into being Katz's captive."
"I-I...h-he kidnapped me!" Jimmy replied meekly. "I...I only want to be a strong Huntsman, but my disease makes me weak..."
Major Glory frowned at this. "I see." He said before he looked down at the boy again. The poor child looked so ashamed he had gotten someone hurt in rescuing him and that made the major's stern look soften into something more akin to sympathy.
Jimmy looked up as the major placed a hand on his shoulder in a soothing manner. "I know you're worried." He said gently as he gave a soft smile. "Why don't we go see how he's doing?"
The boy looked like a child in a candy store upon hearing those words. He followed Major Glory into the main HQ, hoping his savior would be alright.
In the infirmary of the Justice Friends' headquarters Miss Spell ran a red glowing hand over the unconscious Agunimon while the other Justice Friends and their guests watched from outside.
"Who did this to him?" Kazemon asked, looking anxious as she watched.
"According to the kid who was with him, it was Katz." Valhallen answered solemnly.
"That psycho?" Phan-Tone, Miss Spell's teammate and husband looked at the patient with surprise and slight respect. "He's lucky to be alive."
"Who is Katz?" Lowemon asked.
"A serial killer and one of the most wanted criminals on American soil." Major Glory answered darkly. "His Semblance allows him to plant horrifying images into the victim's mind, filling them with fear and terror."
Miss Spell finished her treatment and quietly exited the room, meeting the group outside and Kazemon quickly greeted her. "How is he?"
"He has a few light injuries, claw marks that are obviously from the attacker. The most pressing damage is the fever symptoms he is showing that likely came from experiencing Katz's Semblance. If he broke free while experiencing whatever that monster's mind game was it explains the fever. It's a side effect that happens whenever something breaks the mental connection between Katz and his victims." Miss Spell explained. "I've done all I can to help but it's up to him now."
"Good work, Miss Spell." Major Glory nodded. "I have seen enough to know that he is in good hands."
Miss Spell nodded and looked to Kazemon and Lowemon. "You can see him but keep it quiet. He needs as much rest as possible."
They both nodded and thanked Miss Spell before stepping into the room.
"This is inconceivable." Major Glory looked through the window. "How could GrimmFall train security fail to spot a criminal like Katz, especially when in possession of a child?"
"He probably got help." Valhallen concluded. "We've got news that Katz has been an 'honorary' member of Sammael's crew for sometime. Maybe he sent Katz after their friend because they know of his fire powers. They might have thought he was the Fire Elemental, especially since both came from Denver."
"I heard from Tina Matthews that they had a lead on who the Fire Elemental might have been but they disappeared. They couldn't even confirm if it was male or female." Miss Spell commented.
"It that's so then Sammael might have sent someone else to follow the rumored Elemental's tracks." Phan-Tone spoke. "Why hasn't the Dragon of Denver followed up on this?"
"He's on another case at the moment." Major Glory turned away from the window. "Where is the boy?"
"We have him in our waiting room." Valhallen answered. "His name is Jimmy and he's from Peach Creak. Katz went a long way to bring a sick kid over here."
"He's sick?"
Miss Spell nodded. "I checked his condition just before I went to help his rescuer. It's a rare genetic disease that weaken's the host body's immune system and vitality. He can't even hope to have his Aura awakened without the disease reacting violently."
"Then we should keep him here for the moment." Major Glory suggested. "There's been too many occasions of children suffering from the mad ambitions of our enemies for my liking. I am going to talk to Chief Fizz about this and see if he's had any leads on Katz."
"You think Katz might come back for him?" Valhallen asked.
"I know that Katz likes to use children as bait to lure in a bigger prize." Major Glory replied. "Whether or not he thinks their friend is the Fire Elemental, he'll report back to Sammael about our patient. What's worse is we don't know where the rest of their friends are or if the enemy has found them. We can't hope that they are all in the same city, let alone the same country."
"I'll get in touch with Bullet and see if he can do some searching for us." Valhallen offered. "He can find them a lot faster than any of us."
Jimmy watched as the two warriors went in to check up their friend, his savior. He felt this twinge of jealousy fill him as he looked on as the winged woman sat down beside the red-armored warrior, worry on her face. How dare she be by his savior's side! He looked back at Major Glory as he came back. "How is he?"
"He's resting now." The hero assured him with a smile. Jimmy smiled with relief at that.
"Can I see him?" The boy asked as the major shook his head.
"No. He needs rest." Major Glory replied. "Besides, the only reason his friends are inside is because they are close to him."
Jimmy pouted at that. He wished he could be in there with his savior instead of those two who were supposed to be his hero's friends. He had seen the two. The woman with the wings was quite the looker, and while her curvy body was perfectly proportioned in just the right spots to get any male who wanted a girl, her choice of attire left a lot to be desired. And the man in the dark-colored armor was well-built and muscular, but the air he gave off was mysterious and chilling despite giving off a calm feeling as well. They had to be only claiming to be his savior's friends and nothing more.
If Major Glory was aware of his feelings, he certainly didn't show it.
Agunimon could barely think, his mind was so fuzzy. He couldn't stay awake for long, and he barely remembered hearing voices around him.
The Warrior of Flame was not sure how long he was drifting in and out of consciousness, but there were a few times when he swore he saw Kazemon next to him, and others where he didn't see her at all.
It was like he was in some sort of never-ending dream. The Digimon couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't.
Wild hallucinations ran around in his mind, keeping him in a state of never-ending dreams, or so it seemed.
It wasn't until a week had passed that there was some improvement in his overall condition, as for the first time in a while, he regained consciousness. Waking up for what felt like the 20th time in as many days, Agunimon finally woke up. His eyes fluttered open, revealing their piercing blue color for the first time in a while. His vision swam into view, revealing he was back in some sort of medical facility.
A weak groan escaped him as he turned his head slightly, only to feel the dampness of a cool cloth against his forehead. The warmth he had experienced over the last week was now gone, and he felt chilled despite having a connection to the element of fire. Even with the warm blankets over his body, he shivered badly. In the distance, he could hear voices, but no one seemed to notice he was awake now. Or so it seemed.
Agunimon tried to sit up, but his body refused to listen, as all that happened was he could only move a bit before he felt a flash of heat rushing through his limbs, keeping him down in the bed. The cloth fell next to his head with the movement, only for a hand to reach and grab it while a soft pressure on his left shoulder kept him from moving further. Turning his head, the Warrior of Flame was met with the sight of Kazemon next to him; she was the one who had picked up the cloth and her hand was the source of the pressure on his shoulder. Unsure if it was another hallucination, the Digimon wisely kept his mouth shut, but his eyes said it all.
The Warrior of Wind gave him a reassuring smile before she wet the cloth again and rang it out before setting it back on his forehead, which was a welcome relief to Agunimon, as it soothed the painful headache he was experiencing. Against his will, a sigh of relief escaped him as his blue eyes slipped closed, which made Kazemon smile again. "How are you feeling?" She asked, making him open one eye. That confirmed for him that it was not a hallucination.
"Like shit..." He rasped, his brutally honest comment making her giggle.
"Well, given how you had a fever for the last week, I'm not surprised you feel that way." The female Digimon remarked as the Warrior of Flame turned his head to face her directly, his sharp blue eyes locked onto her face. "But then again, from what Major Glory told us, it is to be expected if someone breaks the terror visions that Katz makes his victims see."
Agunimon sighed again as he turned his head away from her. "I guess it was my own fault then, since I basically forced the fire alarms to go off." He admitted at last. Kazemon looked at him with an amused grin.
"So you basically did that to yourself?" She teased, lightly poking his forehead with a finger jokingly.
"Pretty much." The male Digimon admitted, even though he hated to admit it. "I was an idiot."
Another giggle escaped Kazemon, making the Warrior of Flame look back at her again, this time in confusion. She had never been this giggly before, and that made him briefly wonder if this was indeed another hallucination. However, that thought faded as she smiled at him again. "I'm just glad that you are alright." She said at last. "I was worried sick about you when you came in, covered in blood and suffering from a fever."
"Not that I can remember much about that." Agunimon added with a bit of sarcasm. Kazemon sighed at that and gave him a slight bump on the head with her fist.
"There's no need to be sarcastic, you know." The Warrior of Wind said at last. She then sat up straight again. "It was only because of the Justice Friends that you got medical help in time."
Agunimon couldn't help but snort at the name. "Justice Friends? Who would call themselves something as stupid as that?"
The female Digimon just gave him a look.
"What?" He asked. "You gotta admit the name does sound kind of lame."
Kazemon sighed. "And 'Legendary Warriors' isn't lame?" She countered. Her companion just gave her a goofy grin.
"At least it sounds cooler." He joked. Kazemon sighed and shook her head. Yes, he was still the same Agunimon she remembered. Then again, she wasn't about to admit just how much she missed him. She would rather nurse that in secret.
Just then, the door opened, and both Digimon saw a man with a large plank jaw enter, wearing a golden helmet modeled after the American eagle, and his outfit reminded the Warrior of Flame of the American flag as well, what with the blue chest with large white stars on it and the flag-like cape. In fact, the only parts of his face that were visible were the large chin and his perfect white teeth. "Ah, Kazemon. Is he awake yet?" The man asked as he walked over.
"Err...yeah. He is." The Warrior of Wind admitted to the newcomer. "He just woke up recently, Major Glory."
When he heard the name, Agunimon realized this had to be the Major Glory that Kazemon had mentioned earlier.
Major Glory nodded with a smile. "By the Liberty Bell, that's great to hear!"
Briefly the Warrior of Flame wondered if this was another hallucination, but when he didn't black out again, he was forced to conclude this was indeed not a hallucination. Major Glory looked back at him, only to have blue eyes meet his masked gaze. "How are you feeling, son?" The major asked, his tone going from bombastic to concerned and soft in a matter of seconds.
Agunimon pondered on whether or not he should answer, but in the end, decided it was best to be honest and answer the question. "Sore and my head hurts." He admitted at last.
"Considering you went up against the serial killer Katz, I'm surprised you came out alive, and with the victim no less." Major Glory said with a serious tone to his voice. "Still, I have to thank you for taking the initiative and saving little Jimmy from being yet another statistic to that foul fiend."
That made the Warrior of Flame's blue eyes narrow slightly. "You mean you didn't know he was here?" The Digimon asked. "Katz I mean."
A solemn nod from Major Glory confirmed his thoughts. "Sadly, yes." He admitted. "But that is only because Katz is a cunning scoundrel who uses legal businesses as a front for his illegal activities. He also most likely had help to avoid getting caught by the train security."
It was then that the Digimon remembered Jimmy. "What about the kid? Is he alright?" Agunimon asked as he tried to sit up, but Major Glory frowned at that and placed a hand on his right shoulder, pressing him back down gently.
"Rest assured, young Jimmy is fine." Major Glory said in a reassuring tone. "In fact, he has been worried sick about you since you saved him."
"That's good..." Agunimon sighed with relief.
Major Glory gave him a soft smile before he became serious and spoke. "Look, I know you just woke up, but I would like you to answer a few questions if you can."
While he wasn't exactly in the mood to, the Warrior of Flame decided it would be best to get it out of the way. "Might as well..." He sighed.
Major Glory nodded before he sat down next to Agunimon. "I would like to know just how you came across Jimmy." He began. "What details you can remember would be most helpful."
Agunimon's face turned thoughtful as he tried to remember what exactly had happened. "I...All that I know is that when I got off the Denver Bullet, an officer stopped me and that was when I learned the boy was missing from his home town." He began. "I wanted to help, but he said no and just sent me on my way."
"Go on." Major Glory said gently.
The Warrior of Flame was silent for a few moments before he continued. "After that...I saw an officer hold out an image, and I assumed it had to be the missing boy, so I memorized what he looked like. After that...I..." He trailed off as he struggled to recall what happened next. "I...I remember looking for anything that could be a clue or something, and that was when I found a sliver of Jimmy's shirt, which looked like it had been torn by something. The next thing I knew, I heard what sounded like screams, although it was hard to tell because the building they were coming from made them muffled for some reason, most likely sound-proofing."
Major Glory's eyes went wide upon hearing that last statement. For a human, that kind of thing was impossible, so if he was able to hear that, then that meant he had to be a Digimon like the other two. It also said something about how different a Digimon's senses were from a human's. In fact, the only ones who came close to such a feat were the Faunus and Mobians! He shook himself out of his stupor. "I see. What happened next?"
Agunimon frowned a bit as he tried to recall what happened next. "I...when I turned, I saw the salon where the screams had come from. However, I didn't get in through the front, as it would have given me away, so I got in through an open window on the second floor." He continued. "Once in, I made my way to the first floor, where I encountered the first of Katz's...creatures. It was a large spider, but I managed to beat it, and that was when I heard the voices of Jimmy and Katz. I tried to remain unseen but...well...Katz heard me and I had to trick him so I could get the room where Jimmy was being held prisoner."
"And how did you do that?" The hero asked, curious now.
Here the Digimon gave a bit of a chuckle. "I basically snuck in when he left the room before I slammed the door behind him and locked it." Agunimon replied at last. "It also bought me some time so I could free Jimmy." He then became serious again. "But then...Katz had yet another spider with him, and it ripped the door of the hinges." He then clenched his fists tightly. "I had to fight him, which wasn't easy."
"I see. Did he assume you were the Fire Elemental?" The symbol of peace asked, surprising the Warrior of Flame.
"How did...?" Agunimon was almost speechless.
Major Glory chuckled here. "Your friends explained you possess elemental powers not unlike those of the Elementals, only over the actual elements themselves. It was fairly obvious to conclude you were mistaken as such because of your symbol on your person."
The Digimon looked down at his symbol on his belt. Now that he thought about it, that did make sense. He then sighed again. "To answer your question, yes, he did." Agunimon admitted at last. "I had to fight that spider, and I managed to beat it with my weapon. However, I then grabbed Jimmy and fled, Katz following on a third spider. Luckily, it was too large to turn after I jumped over it and ran back the way I had come. I told Jimmy to hide and that was when the battle went downhill."
"How did it go downhill?" Major Glory asked.
"I..." Here Agunimon trailed off, unsure of how to explain he had basically become a dragon and tried to fight in tight quarters. "...made a stupid decision and it got me into trouble."
"And just what was that decision?" The hero pressed. It was clear he wasn't about to let it drop.
Agunimon sighed again. "How would you react if I told you I became a dragon?" He asked cautiously. Major Glory looked surprised and confused before Kazemon snapped out of her gaping state at that question.
"You reached your Beast Spirit form?!" She asked as Major Glory looked at her for an explanation.
"Beast Spirit form?" The hero questioned as she looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah. Each of us Warriors have at least two forms, our Human Spirit forms, which you have seen us in, and our more powerful Beast Spirits." Kazemon explained. "But two of us can go beyond that, and Agunimon here is one of them."
Major Glory looked back at the Warrior of Flame and smiled. "Well, that would explain how you escaped then." He said in a proud tone.
"Hardly." Agunimon grunted. "It was that decision that made the battle go downhill. It was hard to fight in such close quarters, and Katz had the upper hand for a while. It wasn't until he used this technique, most likely his Semblance, that made me see visions that were terrifying." He gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp fangs to the major. "During one of those visions, I must have released a burst of fire, because the next thing I know, the fire alarms are going off and I can see flames crawling up the walls and all around me. I grabbed Jimmy and ran, eventually reaching here." He finished.
"I see." Major Glory said. "Well, again, I have to say you were lucky in escaping with the victim, alive no less."
The Digimon looked back at him. "Why do you say that?"
"Katz is a serial killer and wanted in the United States for many heinous crimes." Major Glory said seriously. "As it stands, very few have escaped him alive. You are lucky to be amongst those few."
Agunimon frowned at that. "And who are the others?"
"One of them is the Dragon of Denver." The major explained, making the Warrior of Flame's blue eyes widen at that.
"Dracon?! He fought Katz?!" The Digimon exclaimed as the hero looked at him with a bit of surprise as well as amusement.
"So you know him?" He asked.
The Digimon looked back at him. "Know him? He's the one who found me!" Agunimon explained. "He also gave me some training on how to fight against the Grimm as well as my weapon."
Major Glory smiled a bit at that. "Well, it seems the Dragon of Denver did a good job then if you survived against Katz."
"Actually...I think that was more luck than anything, to be honest..." Agunimon suddenly murmured, his tone changing to one of embarrassment.
Major Glory was speechless at the sudden admission. He shook his head and broke himself out of his stunned stupor. "Well, regardless, most fights here are about skill, and sometimes luck as well." He said softly. "After all, sometimes Huntsmen and Huntresses have to get lucky in battle."
"I guess..." Agunimon sighed.
He looked back as Major Glory put a hand on his left shoulder in a reassuring manner. There was a soft smile on the hero's face as he knelt down right beside the Digimon. "For now, you just need to rest. We can talk more once you are feeling better."
As if the hero could sense it, the Warrior of Flame felt his vision beginning to waver and before he could stop it, everything went black.
Upon seeing Agunimon fall into unconsciousness again, Major Glory frowned to himself, his smile fading as the frown became more prominent. Kazemon remained by her companion's side, removing the cloth from his forehead and wetting it down again before placing it back. He then looked to the female Digimon in question.
"Are you sure you will be alright here?" He asked. "The others will want to talk to you about Katz so you know about him and what he has done."
"Lowemon can fill me in when he comes by." The Warrior of Wind replied at last. "Besides, I don't exactly like the way that Jimmy kid is lurking around the infirmary."
"Oh?" Major Glory asked as he looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah. I've seen him watching, waiting to see if and when I leave." The female Digimon continued. "It's like he has a bad case of hero worship or something, and he will do anything to get the chance to be near his heroes." She clenched her fists tightly at that. For some reason, she felt that Jimmy was a threat, but from what she knew, the boy had a disease that made him weak, so she knew he could not be a threat to her or the other two Legendary Warriors there. Yet that feeling still persisted and she didn't know why.
Major Glory smiled at her in a reassuring manner. "Rest assured, Kazemon, little Jimmy has the right to see if his hero is alright." He gently placed a hand on her shoulder in a gesture of comfort. "He is young yet, so let him have his hero worship."
Kazemon frowned but she agreed to relent. "Alright..." She sighed before she gave a look to the major. "But if it becomes a problem, promise me you will do something about it, okay?"
The hero nodded. "By Washington's wooden teeth, I promise."
That earned him a soft smile from her before the Warrior of Wind returned her gaze to the unconscious Agunimon. Major Glory watched as she reached out and gently, tenderly, stroked his right cheek softly with her thumb, her left hand cupping his cheek as she did so. Seeing that made Major Glory smile softly as he watched the change in Kazemon's demeanor and attitude. It was clear she cared a lot about the Warrior of Flame, and if her tender reactions were any indication, she had feelings for him as well it seemed.
Seeing her like this made him feel like he had done something right. True, Miss Spell had helped to bring the Warrior of Wind out of her reclusive state, but this...seeing her around the Warrior of Flame made his heart feel lighter because she was more open and willing to talk with the others, even Krunk, although she still avoided him most of the time.
Major Glory stood up before he turned and left, leaving Kazemon alone with Agunimon.
GrimmFall-Chicago train-line
Omnimon, Shannon, and Donnie were on the train from GrimmFall to Chicago, which was a decent ride for its length of time.
Shannon looked to the Royal Knight, as did Donnie. "So, what can you tell us about this Myotismon?" Donnie asked as Omnimon looked back at him.
"He is a strong Digimon, especially for his level, which as you know is Ultimate." The Digimon began as the turtle Mobian nodded. "However, his level is not what makes him a dangerous foe. It is his intellect."
"Oh?" Donnie asked. "How so?"
Omnimon looked directly at Donnie. "He can plan three steps ahead of his opponent and toys with them when they get close to him."
"Wow. And I thought planning to be one step ahead of your opponent was difficult enough." Shannon remarked as Omnimon nodded.
"Yes, but that should show just how dangerous he is." The Royal Knight admitted. "Although...I am expecting this encounter to be somewhat difficult since I have a reputation that has gotten out. But again, the story the media came up with can be used to our advantage. Myotismon will be expecting a male human in robes and riding a white horse, so we will use that against him."
"Make him think he is right you mean!" Donnie exclaimed with a smile as the Digimon chuckled and nodded.
"Correct." Omnimon said.
Shannon then went serious. "But what if he doesn't expect that to be the case?"
Omnimon and Donnie both went silent at that. She did have a point...
"We'll deal with that if that happens when we get there." Omnimon said at last as Shannon frowned but nodded regardless.
Agunimon's injuries and fever get treated by the Justice Friends, only for him to awaken a week later and explain what happened to Major Glory while Omnimon, Donnie, and Shannon head off to Chicago to confront Myotismon. But will they be able to beat him? And what of that ooze in Dimension O-000? Is it a threat or not? And can they break down its genetic composition to find a weakness? Read on to find out~! :3
