Jarceus: Hello everyone and welcome to chapter thirty-eight of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Digital Detective, I hope you will all enjoy.

Firesage101: ok that is a weird thing to happen I hope that Jarod gets his memories back with no problems.

Jarod: I think the crystal was my memories or something.

EJ: Yes, yes it was.

Jarceus: On to the chapter.

Last Time

"Thank you." Thanked Jarod smiling, happy for murdering Death

"You're welcome." Nodded EJ before he gave the crystal Agunimon found, only it had a line going around the middle of it. (If you need a reference, think of one of those round containers you get figures in at the shops for like a dollar, that type of gape thing.) "I think you know what to do." He smirked before he opened a portal and walked through it leaving Jarod alone with his siblings and Agunimon

"Let's see what's in here." Mumbled Jarod as he opened the crystal only for a stream of data to make him fly back and faint, the last thing he heard was the concerned screams of his siblings and digimon.

Now

"Do you think Jarod's going to be okay?" Asked Ami concerned as she stared at her unconscious brother who had been relocated to the Kuremi Detective Agency

"I assure you. No harm will come to Jarod." Stated Mirei, who had called Kyoko earlier, making Ami nod before she left

"You're hiding something aren't you?" Asked Kyoko staring at Mirei judging her next response

"No. I haven't been hiding anything. But you on the other hand? You're hidden quite a lot, now haven't you?" Retorted Mirei making Kyoko look away

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Stated Kyoko before Terriermon popped out of Jarod's Digivice

"So, I'm out of the loop, what's going on?" Asked Terriermon making Kyoko sigh silently in relief

"Jarod is unconscious after going to a parallel world, losing his memory only to encounter someone who attempted to murder his sister years ago, murdered him, and is regaining his memories." Explained Mirei

"Ok." Nodded Terriermon as he stared at Jarod

In Jarod's head

"hlp!" Called a voice as Jarod sat in his bed from eight years ago before he walked past Ami's room and saw a man holding Ami up by her neck and inching a machete closer to her face, making Jarod freak out before slamming Takumi's bat into the man's back

"Grah!" Grunted the man as he dropped Ami down before he turned and glared at Jarod "Kid. You made a big mistake." He growled as he swung the machete at Jarod only for the child to duck under it and run hit the man in the stomach with the bat

"Run!" Shouted Jarod making Ami run out of the room before Jarod followed her out into the kitchen before Jarod took a knife out of the drawers

"You're going to pay for that kid." Growled the man as he entered the kitchen only to have his left eye sliced by Jarod "Grr." He grunted as he kicked Jarod over before stabbing his machete into Jarod's left shoulder blade

"AHHH!" Cried out Jarod in pain before a bullet shot through the man's machete arm, making him cease his hold on the blade allowing Jarod to pull it out while the man turned around to see a shaking Ami holding a Glock 17 with both of her hands as she glared at the man

"You damn brat." Growled the man only for a bullet to scrap by his knee as Ami shot the gun again before he moved to the side just in time to avoid Jarod swinging the machete at his arm and for a bullet to hit Jarod in his left shoulder blade causing the kid to drop down, drop the machete and scream before he fell over as the man kicked him down and pointed the machete at the front of his neck "Now, girl, if you shoot at me, I'll end this boy's life." He grinned as Ami dropped the gun "Good girl." He smirked, not noticing as Jarod reached for the gun before grabbing it and shooting the man in the leg before he jogged away, holding his wound as Ami followed him "You're not getting away." Growled the man as he followed the two children before he felt a shotgun blast pass by his head as he saw Jarod aiming a pump shotgun at him

"Hah… Hah…" Panted Jarod as his head felt light from blood loss only for him to ignore it

"Ok, first off, how are you holding that damned thing, second, how did you pump it up, and third, WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT!?" Asked the man in shock

"I dunno, the table, my dad is a cop." Answered Jarod shrugging as he used a nearby table to pump up the shotgun before he aimed it at the man again

"Screw this. Killing you isn't worth getting shot." Growled the man before he threw a pot at Jarod making him duck under it while the man ran away while Ami snuck into the room with bandages before she wrapped up Jarod's wound before he sat down on the couch as he breathed heavily as he felt his head go back to normal at a snail's pace.

"I'm home." Stated a voice as Jarod's father walked into the house before finding the trail of blood Jarod left behind "What happened?" He asked as he rushed over

"A man broke into our house and tried to kill me, Daddy." Answered Ami "Jarod saved me, we ran into the kitchen where the man hurt Jarod with his sword thingy and I shot his hand then we ran again before Jarod brought out Ol' Pumper." She explained

"Did he use it?" Asked their father

"I did." Groaned Jarod "It went right by his head." He added

"I'm proud. You both defended yourselves well. Ami, let's take Jarod to the hospital otherwise your mother might get more angry if I left you here without professional help." Stated the two children's father as he grabbed his car keys before everything faded to black as Jarod floated in the black space, looking at his other self

"So, any reason you ejected my memories from my mind?" Asked Jarod staring at his other self as his form changed back into Jarodmon from his ten year old form

"No reason. I just thought it would be an interesting twist." Shrugged EJ nonchalantly

"An 'interesting twist'? We are in a war! We don't have time for interesting twists!" Shouted Jarod enraged

"You try living two years in the Eater network and see how much you can bring yourself to care about people you don't know!" Retorted EJ making Jarod back up slightly before taking a deep breath

"Sorry for yelling. I forgot about those memories I got from you… Watching our life over and over since there was nothing else to do besides save mental data and talking with Takumi and Yuugo." Sighed Jarod making EJ calm down as well

"And you forgot that I was created when that Eater ate me out of you." Sighed EJ "But you know, I still don't understand the whole time difference thing that Eater's have going on in their network." He shrugged making Jarod nod

"I know. Do you think Arata has to deal with that?" Asked Jarod before everything turned white before he woke up and noticed two things. 1, he was in the Agency alone and 2, his Digivice was beeping like wild "What happened?" He asked before he noticed that something in his heart was hurting…badly.

Jarceus: That's all for this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed.

Jarod: Oh great, time differences, that's going to confuse some people.

Jarceus: 1 earth month is a year inside the Eater network.

Jarod: Well, damn.

EJ: Wasn't expecting that were ya?
