A/N: Chapter 54... Still going but I can reveal that I am writing the end of this at the moment, there isn't too much left for this first season. Speaking of seasons I can also reveal that there will be a total of 4 seasons (stories) for this, so don't think I'm giving up writing just yet...


Digimon Tamers: Quantum Displacement Theory and Other Big Words

Chapter 54

My whole body ached, protests from the relentless onslaught I put it through coursing through my limbs. My head pounded with a monumental migraine as I felt softness below me.

Wait, softness? Last time I checked rocks were hard, not soft. I forced my eyes open, I was laying face down on a sea of green underneath me. Grass? Where were the rocks I was on before? Had the ground changed?

No, I remember there was something near me when I lost consciousness. Had I been taken, spirited away like some grand prize? I had been moved, the scenery around me was entirely different to what I saw last.

Something entered my field of vision, very close to me. A white furred foot with a black claw tipping the three toes. There was only one type of digimon that I knew had that belonged to, but was it a wild one or was it one of the two I knew?

A paw touched the back of my neck, soft and caring. I wanted to believe I was safe but I needed confirmation of who this Renamon was. Words wouldn't come to me, my mouth was against the ground and my throat was sore for some reason. I couldn't move my body, only my eyes responded to my commands. I couldn't do anything.

The paw removed itself after a few seconds as the foot disappeared from view. I could hear the near silent steps the Renamon took as it walked across the grass. Then I could hear words, there were others.

"Still nothing. I'm worried." I thought I recognised that as Kiara's voice, but my hearing was muffled. I couldn't be sure, most Renamons sounded the same, only a slight change in voice identified them from each other.

"Give it time, he's likely been through a lot." Another voice, also unidentifiable.

"You said that two days ago! How much more time do I give it?"

"Patience Kiara, we want Axel back to normal as much as you do." Kiara? They had also used my name. They knew me, and one was called Kiara. That could not be a coincidence, no way. They had found me, despite all the odds.

"I- sorry, you're right. I'm being selfish again."

"It's alright, it's natural for you to feel slightly impatient. You and Axel share a bond like no other. He will come back to us." That had to be Renamon. No one else would talk like that.

I tried to move again but sudden pain flared through me, immobilising me as a groan escaped my lips. My first noise since waking.

The speakers went silent. "Did you hear that?"

"I did." The sound of rushing footsteps sounded next, another foot entering my field of view. A paw touched my head, I wanted nothing more than to move something to prove I was conscious. But still my body refused to respond. I tried to move again, to make the pain return and let myself groan, but even that wouldn't work. "Nothing, perhaps we were hearing things."

"Perhaps, we should remain with him for now though. Just in case."

"Agreed."

One of the vixens sat beside me, the paw not leaving my head. In fact that paw was now gently stroking the back of my neck, soothing me and lulling me to sleep. I tried to resist. I wanted to prove I was awake, not fall asleep. I tried, but failed.


Eventually I woke again, the same immobility greeting me and the same muffled senses infuriating me. I could do nothing to prove my awareness, and it pissed me off. I seemed to be alone now though, no voices or sounds around from anyone. That troubled me slightly but I dismissed it since I was more annoyed about being immobile.

I laid where I was, face down on the grass, and let my thoughts be. I hadn't heard from Maraxus for a while, neither had I heard from Aluna. I didn't expect to speak with her until I had either succeeded or failed in my mission, but Maraxus' silence was unsettling. Aluna never mentioned him before either, something else that didn't feel right.

A noise broke my thoughts off, someone was coming. Light steps approached me as a foot came into view, either Kiara or Renamon. A paw laid on my shoulder reassuringly.

"I'm sorry Axel." Kiara's voice. "I'm sorry for putting you through all this. I should have been better, should have been calmer and not driven you away. This is my fault and I don't care what anyone else says. I failed you again Axel, time and time again I fail you."

"No you didn't." I don't know why I didn't try the mental link we shared before, oversight on my part.

The paw tensed as I sent the thoughts. "Axel?"

"I'm here Kiara, I just can't move." Again I tried but nothing responded. "How long have I been here?"

She shifted beside me until her headland beside mine, her eyes finally visible to me. A small smile graced her muzzle. "Five days total. The Strabimon found you when you left the data streams and came to find us, how he did is a mystery that will never be solved."

That didn't make sense. "Why not?"

"He's gone Axel. He saw your wounds and did the only thing possible to heal you. He sacrificed himself to give you his data to fix your body. It seemed to work but you haven't woken until now."

I wasn't exactly happy about someone sacrificing themselves for me, but I pushed it aside for now. "That's not entirely true. I woke and overheard your conversation with Renamon three days after you found me, that must have been two days ago. Again I couldn't move or speak, except the groan I couldn't repeat before you sent me to sleep again by rubbing by neck."

She looked a little sheepish at that. "If I had of known you we're awake I wouldn't have done it, I didn't even know I could make you sleep by doing that." She returned to a more serious face. "How do you feel, except being unable to move?"

"Aches and pains all over, a dry throat that prevents me from speaking. Apart from that, bored." She seemed to take amusement in the last line. "You?"

"Worried sick over you as always. Let me get you some water." She disappeared from sight for a few seconds before I felt myself be turned onto my back. Pain raced through me as I was rotated, making me hiss hoarsely. "Sorry."

"It's nothing."

She didn't seem convinced but she sat me up, more pain ensuing from the movements and more hissing on my part. I had my first good look at where we were. It looked like a small clearing in a forest, not much else was worth describing since I couldn't see a lot either. Just trees and grass, and Kiara holding a cup of water to my lips.

The soothing liquid rushed down my throat, instant relief washing over me. I could feel my throat cracking as the moisture returned to it, allowing me to breath easier once again. My voice would be more difficult but at least I could start to recover.

"Thank you Kiara. Where are the others?"

She glanced around us. "They're biomerged and patrolling in case something tries to sneak up on us, they're also looking for the best direction to travel in if you didn't... You know... Wake up again." She looked even more worried at that.

"Well I'm awake now, and Aluna's guidance is working again. All I need to do is regain my mobility and lose this pain, then we can be off once more."

Then something happened. I could see Kiara's mouth moving but I heard no noises. I felt nothing, smelt nothing, tasted nothing. My sight blurred, all details fading into a canvas of swirling colours before that too went black.

I panicked, as expected, but I couldn't move my body still. Nothing responded as I was isolated from existence itself, the feeling of withdrawal was overwhelming. Then something else. Visions of a journey over the land. Not just any land though, the digital world. I could see data streams and the real world overhead. But weirder still was the figure I seemed to be chasing. It was me.

I was a way off with the others with me, but sharper than usual eyesight could identify them easily. I followed myself through the streams without hesitation, each time I found myself and chased again. Then I was alone, still chasing myself as we travelled across the world. Now and again a paw would enter my view, a paw of the Strabimon who had saved me and gave me his data. Sensations that I imagined he experienced were shared to me, thoughts and feelings also. These were the Strabimon's memories that I was seeing, experiencing as my own.

I saw myself leave the three streams, alone and unmoving. I approached myself, checking for a pulse even though I didn't think he knew about that, whilst calling my name. I didn't respond where I laid so I left to find help of some description. Luck shone when I found Kiara and the others, I guided them to myself before making the sacrifice.

The visions ended, giving me the clarity of how I got to where I was, but it wasn't over.

"Now you see, human. Now you see how you were saved. Use my data, my strength, as your own. Keep your mate and friends safe, they look to you for support. Fear not your enemies but stand tall, defiant against their desires. They will stand with you as my strength fills your body. I am no more and you shall not hear my voice again, but you shall always feel my strength and speed. I may not be as fast or as strong as your Renamon but now you two are more even. Take these gifts and live on, your mate needs you."

My senses returned to me, my vision first. Kiara was looking at me still, very worried by the looks of it. I smiled, finally able to move my face. But not only that, my entire body moved. My hand slowly reached to cup her cheek, earning a relieved smile from her.

"I'm fine Kiara, stop looking so worried."

She leaned further into my hand. "You went funny for a moment, I thought something was wrong."

I shook my head, understanding her view yet reassuring her she was wrong. "Just some memories from our wolf friend. His strength is mine now, and his speed. He said so himself in his last thoughts to me. A gift he said, one to make me stronger for you and the others."

Her arms circled me. "You're fine the way you are Axel. But I am grateful for his sacrifice."

I pulled her head against my chest, feeling her nuzzle against me. Her grip tightened around my shoulders as I laid myself down, pulling her with me as I descended. Her head lifted to allow her eyes to meet mine but I did one better and pressed our lips together. Her surprise was brief before I felt her slip her tongue inside my mouth, my hands wandering down her body.

She broke off as my hands reached the base of her tail, her eyes sparkling but her voice firm. "Do you think this is a good idea Axel? Rika and Renamon-"

I silenced her with a kiss. "They're not here Kiara, and we may never get another chance. Live in the moment before it leaves you behind. This is our moment, don't let it go to waste."

My message was quickly understood and accepted, Kiara returning her lips to mine as my hands resumed their journey down her body. I cupped her rear gently and pulled her further up by body as one of her paws quickly gained entry into my trousers, taking hold of my growing hardness instantly as her other paw dropped my lower clothing. She pressed her lower body against mine, slowly grinding against me and doing wonders with the feeling of her fur on my skin. I couldn't take anymore, I had to have her.

She was similarly effected since she manoeuvred herself over my length and slowly lowered herself onto it, a low gasp escaping her as I was buried inside her folds. She completed her descent with a sigh of satisfaction, making me roll my eyes as she smirked back, before she began to rock against me.

She started slowly as usual but we quickly built up to a fast pace, it had been a long time since we were last able to express ourselves in such a manner and so much had happened in that time. Patience was thrown out of the window along with anything else rational, like keeping quiet in case someone or something heard us. We didn't care for discretion, we were in need and to hell were we going to stop ourselves now.

I felt my pressure build as usual and her insides tighten against me as she released her first climax, complete with a feral yell, as a slightly bestial nature took over me. We became more forceful, her claws scrabbling against me as a snarl formed on my lips. My clothed were removed deftly and quickly, the materials not being damaged more than they were already. My hands gripped her breasts with more force than I had ever used before, making her gasp at the suddenness of my actions. I began to thrust up into her in time with her own movements, increasing her moaning to a fevered pitch.

Kiara tightened again and again, releasing each time as my pressure built to new levels. I should have climaxed by now but it didn't happen, instead it just kept going. The increase in my stamina was bewildering, especially for Kiara since we hadn't ever been at it for this long. Ever. I just kept going, wondering when it would end and just how it would. It's all I could do and frankly all I wanted to do.

After what seemed like far too long for normal standards, my pressure peaked as I felt my length pulse. Kiara tightened one more time and sent me over the edge. A bestial roar erupted from my mouth as she screamed again, my fluids finally being released inside her.

I allowed Kiara to fall against me, her form light compared to what I usually felt, and wrapped my arms around her. She breathed heavily against me as I came down from my high, wondering just how I went on for so long.

Kiara's eyes found mine slowly. "You nearly killed me!"

I smirked lightly despite my confusion. "Nearly, but not quite. We could always go again if you want." She shoved me playfully, but I felt it was weaker than usual. Something wasn't right. "Kiara? This is going to sound weird but can you punch me?"

She blinked. "You're right, it does sound weird. Why would you ask that?"

"I want to test something." She didn't seem convicted but cocked her arm back anyway, laying what I saw to be a mild strength blow to my shoulder. It barely registered to me. "Again, but harder." She did so with some reservations, but again it was weaker than I thought it should me. I needed more. "Full strength Kiara, give me your best."

She refused. "Axel, why? What does this prove? I don't want to hurt you."

"That's the thing Kiara, you're not. Now hit me." Her surprise was brief before she laid another hit on me. I could tell it was her full strength but it didn't hurt anywhere near as much as it should have, but it did hurt a little. "It seems Strabimon's strength has become mine during our little session, I could be as strong as you Kiara."

She rolled her eyes. "I doubt that."

I flexed my arms, feeling the new strength that flowed through them. "So I should be faster now as well then. Interesting. Strabimon is full of surprises. Perhaps that's why I couldn't move and why I had all the pain, it could have been my body adapting to the data properly. And now I can move again I feel much stronger."

"Are you sure you're alright?" Kiara had that worried face again.

I nodded, a little too enthusiastically. "I'm better than alright, I feel brand new! I've never felt this before and I love it, almost as much as I love you."

She shoved me again. "You soppy shit!"

I pulled a sad face back at her. "You didn't say it back."

She rolled her eyes again. "You know that I love you Axel, I don't need to keep saying it."

"It's nice when you do though, I don't mind being reminded." She gave me an odd look. "Never mind."

She rested herself on me again as I embraced her form, feeling her fall asleep. I suddenly realised that I wasn't wearing my clothes and if Rika or Renamon came in they would be greeted with that fact. Oh well, let's hope Kiara wakes before they come back...
