Author's notes: The plot thickens. BlackWarGreymon in my fanfic setting was the Agumon Taichi and Hikari encountered in Hikarigaoka. He became the Partner Digimon of the Chosen Child with the Crest of Darkness in the Alternate Destiny written years ago. He time-traveled to this dimension.
Digimon is not mine.
Side: BlackWarGreymon
"You bastard. You ordered Gennai to kill." A holy beast Digimon in shadow confronted the strongest in the team, Qinglongmon.
"All darkness should be eradicated. We had decided that, didn't we?" Qinglongmon retorted.
"Shut up, you just want your power unaffected because of the existence of Crest of Darkness. That child should die for that?" He spelled out.
"You broke the taboo and gave him back his memories. Don't you think you have done too much?" Qinglongmon was getting annoyed with the conversation.
"Like you who wants to protect the Children of Light and Hope, I've to watch over my kids too yet you ordered to kill him." The other Digimon reasoned.
"That's why Gennai fled in disgust after he got wind of your intention. He is supposed to be their aide but he failed them and lost the respect of the partner Digimon."
"My decision never wavers, for the sake of the peace of the Digital World." Qinglongmon raised his voice speaking firmly.
He headed out to face the partner Digimon who were seeking an audience with him.
For the sake of harmony and stability, he must die?
What nonsense is that?
I'll find a world that will do justice for him.
He could live happily with those he loved and loved him.
"How can you lose to a cat?" The voice of a little boy ranged in his mind. Koromon felt ashamed of himself.
"Thanks for saving me!" Koromon stuffed his mouth over the face of the bewildered little boy who was scratched by his own cat saving him.
"A sign… of friendship?" At that point of time the little boy did not understand it.
Sound of whistle echoed in the air.
"Fire!" The little boy urged.
"Taichi…"
The dragon warrior Digimon, BlackWarGreymon flew in the tunnel which linked the various timeline and dimensions together after the other partner of his partner, WarGreymon with the Brave Shield of Miracle decided to buy him some time to take the Crest of Darkness and escaped. They had defeated Apocalymon and Milleniumon with a heavy price. Their partner, Yagami Taichi had left the world of living some time ago in their dimension.
BlackWarGreymon finally entered a dimension where he found Taichi who had just flatlined.
"Taichi!" A sense of urgency came over him that he activated the Crest of Darkness he had on hand. The crest glowed. A miracle happened as pulse returned to Taichi after a few minutes he was declared dead which was a miracle. As his brain was deprived of oxygen, he remained in coma and required life support.
BlackWarGreymon had been watching over Taichi in the dark since then. He was not sure if this world was the one he was looking for. BlackWarGreymon was just reacting in a fit of impulse when Taichi of this dimension passed away. He was disappointed when he found out that this Taichi had been killed by Piemon and was reconfigured from the reboot. He was not the one he was looking for. The damage had been done and BlackWarGreymon had resigned to his fate to watch over this Taichi since the gate to travel through time and dimension was closed.
This Taichi was older than his partner who died at the age of 19. Because of that this dimension seemed different than many of them he been to in search of the dimension the Crest of Miracle had appeared to. Taichi had never been able to live past the age of adult unless he was the one with Miracle. Even before he was shot, he was already suffering from some heart ailment. Yet he was able to live past the age of an adult.
Taichi had been laying still and quietly breathing through the oxygen mask. BlackWarGreymon counted Taichi had been through at least three surgeries to repair his wounded heart since then. Fever and complication were common and BlackWarGreymon was holding his breath whenever Taichi's heart stopped needing doctor to revive him but was relieved when he managed to pull through.
A girl in glasses with black hair had been visiting him very often. BlackWarGreymon had never met her. Maybe she was someone Taichi would encounter if he could live past certain age. She certainly cared for his well-being for there was no one else there for him.
Child of Honesty, Kido Jou came by later with his partner Gomamon and sat by his bed. Life was never fair. BlackWarGreymon had to watch over him in secret while Gomamon could be in the open. Another girl, Child of Purity, Tachikawa Mimi popped by with her plant-like Digimon partner, Palmon.
"Taichi-kun is lazy. He had been sleeping for too long." Jou could not help but to comment trying to lighten up the mood. His physical injuries was healing but they were aware of his deteriorating health condition watching how frail and thin Taichi had become from his coma. His oxygen mask was fogging with his labored breath. Jou did not know if he could even share about Taichi's existence to his friends knowing that they would still lose him.
"Unless we can find a new heart for him, he might not make it even if he wakes up. Might as well, we take the secret into our own graves." Jou turned to Mimi, another girl who just found out of Taichi's reappearance. Jou wanted to believe in possibilities, but in reality it was not easy. Gomamon tugged Jou's hand and Palmon hugged Mimi to comfort them.
"Heart? Soul? I don't want it. But Taichi needs it." BlackWarGreymon was reminded of a certain flower he tried to save but ended up stepping on it. Why did his heartache?
"No way! We should let everyone know. Let's give Taichi-san all the support he needs. All of us owed it to him. Without Taichi-san pushing us in the Digital World, we might not even be here now."
BlackWarGreymon smiled. Taichi's existence had left an imprint on them. He decided to visit the Chosen Children to see how they were doing after hearing what Mimi shared with Taichi. BlackWarGreymon could not show himself but surely, he could verify how the so-called stupid life should be lived.
BlackWarGreymon had arrived near the apartment where Taichi of this dimension stayed in Japan when he was still up and about.
Child of Hope, Takaishi Takeru and Child of Light, Yagami Hikari, they were seen standing outside his apartment pressing the doorbell and there was no answer.
"Mimi-san had assured us that we can trust him but she didn't share with us much details other than asking me to recall what that evil Gennai-san had said to the few of us five years ago when he attacked us with Mugendramon. This isn't like her." Takeru said to Hikari. Hikari agreed with him.
"Mimi said he is in Koushirou's database but we're not able to find anyone by the name of Kamiya." Patamon added and Tailmon nodded her head.
"Maybe Mimi-san is trying to hint us but is unable to share much further." Hikari realized.
"Let's assume Kamiya is of our age. Mimi addressed him using '-san' instead of '-kun' she would usually use for me? It isn't unlike her to address someone she didn't know well with '-kun' as though she is close to that person." Takeru pinched his chin in deep though trying to interpret her words.
"Reboot." Takeru dropped his phone all the sudden.
"If Digimon die in the human world, they can't be revived. That's where a reboot comes in. All those guys who died over there come back." These words from Dark Gennai who appeared close to his face back then when he said this echoed in his mind.
"Reboot?" Hikari blinked in confusion.
"What if…" Some crazy ideas came to Takeru's mind. Koushirou and his brother probably had the ideas way before he did. Takeru was getting excited.
Takeru was disrupted when an explosion occurred. BlackWarGreymon managed to activate his Brave Shield to shield the two Chosen Children from the worst of the blast as Patamon and Tailmon evolved and took off with their partners on their arms. BlackWarGreymon retrieved his shield and retreated to the sky.
The smoke cleared up as XV-mon and Ankylomon was blasted out in the open covering their human partners protectively as another Digimon shot up to the sky where BlackWarGreymon was in a flash. It was a Digimon which resembled Eosmon but it was a golden butterfly Digimon emitting an aura of knight in shiny armour. His mouth was emitting smoke seemingly in frustration.
"Isn't that?" Angewomon exclaimed recognising BlackWarGreymon beside the new Digimon.
"He saved us." Angemon commented heaving a sigh of relief as they have their partners safe on their arms.
"Who are you?" BlackWarGreymon eyed the Digimon closely in the air. The pair of Angels nodded in acknowledgement as they had their partners placed on the ground floor before joining BlackWarGreymon to deal with the Digimon that just attacked them. Takeru and Hikari headed to where XV-mon and Anklyomon was to help Daisuke and Iori up.
"O-ooouch…" Daisuke attempted to stretch himself while Iori was helped up by Takeru. Their partners reverted to their Child forms as soon as they were safe.
"V-mon, Armadillomon, are you guys alright?" Iori asked in concern.
"Yeah…"
"We will live, dagyaa." The two Digimon were drained.
Daisuke was on high alert taking V-mon on his arms pulling Hikari on his arms when that new Digimon extended his wired arms to whip them. Iori dodged with Takeru and Armadillomon in opposite direction. BlackWarGreymon noticed it and grabbed its arms but ended up grabbing nothing. His arm sizzled and vanished into the air.
"W-What?" BlackWarGreymon was sent crashing to the ground.
That Digimon seemed hungry for something.
"It reminded me of Eosmon." Takeru shared with the few of them while holding on to his hat enduring the strong wind from the blast by BlackWarGreymon.
"Eosmon takes away our consciousness." Takeru warned everyone not to let their guards down. They were concerned if he had similar power as Eosmon. That meant danger for themselves and their partners if they were not careful enough.
"He's crying. " Hikari suddenly said.
"What?" The boys exclaimed in unison. They knew she was sensitive.
The Digimon turned his attention on Takeru and Hikari suddenly which led to the two angels blocking his sight before them.
"We'll not let you lay a hand on them."Angemon declared preparing to fight with his rod. The Digimon was emitting smoke from his mouth seemingly going to breathe out attack anytime. Angemon attempted to land a hit but was taken aback by its inexistence physically having his rod passed through his body like air and whipped by that Digimon and crash landed beside BlackWarGreymon.
"Angemon!" Takeru called out worriedly. What was this Digimon?
The Digimon continued his advance towards Takeru and the rest. Angewomon fired an arrow without a warning. The Digimon sensing the attack dodged and managed to escape with a scratch on his right arm.
BlackWarGreymon snapped, grabbing the Digimon by his neck and headed towards the sky to nearby waterbed taking the two Chosen Children by surprise. The Crest of Darkness glowed and reacted allowing him to grab the Digimon. He never seen this Digimon before but he was emitting a familiar aura he could not identify yet. He knew well not to destroy things in the Real World by now taking the battles away from the urban area.
"Tell me who are you?" BlackWarGreymon was getting pissed just by his existence alone. The Digimon who was out of control was emitting smoke from his mouth. There was no soul in his eyes, BlackWarGreymon realized. He did not even feel pain when BlackWarGreymon threw him into the barren ground nearby.
"Bonds… Bonds that do not belong should be eradicated." The Digimon said suddenly. "Human and Digimon should not even get involved with one another. You have no heart; you should know better. If there is no meeting, there won't be separation and there won't be heartbreak when it's time to separate." The Digimon said sounding like a robot reading from a textbook.
"What?" BlackWarGreymon recalled how he first met Taichi and Hikari in Hikarigaoka and was granted the sign of friendship. It hit him immediately that that was what the Digimon referred to. The Digimon smirked suddenly. A silhouette of a familiar human overlapped with the Digimon flashed in BlackWarGreymon's mind when the Digimon fired at him to cause a distraction to escape into a distortion.
"Wait!" BlackWarGreymon attempted to follow him through the distortion when the portal closed on him. That was when BlackWarGreymon realized a human was in control of this Digimon.
"My purpose is to eradicate the bonds of Digimon and the Chosen Children, to destroy the sign of friendship." The Digimon's voice echoed in BlackWarGreymon's head as the portal closed. BlackWarGreymon could only stared the space that Digimon disappeared into in bewilderment.
The apartment was destroyed. Incorporated Administrative Agency would likely cover this incident up. Daisuke and the others retreated quickly.
"That Digimon is crying. He resent us. He hate us. Why is it that we all have it all good while he needs to suffer all eternity?" This was what she sensed. Hikari was deep in thought. Tailmon tugged her hands for comfort. The group gathered in the park nearby.
"He'll be back for us if he's after us." Tailmon informed them. Takeru nodded. They would have to be prepared if this Digimon was just as dangerous as Eosmon.
"This is a Digimon Menoa Belucci had created using the data of a Chosen Child." Iori said staring up at the sky the Digimon disappeared into.
"If only I have brought him back with us. He won't be used for experiment by the target." Daisuke punched his fist into the ground in frustration as BlackWarGreymon landed before them.
"I failed everyone." Daisuke pulled off his goggles and wanted to smash it in a fit of anger.
"Daisuke, don't blame yourself." V-mon stopped him from smashing the pair of goggles he pulled off his head.
"Bear the weight of the goggles, boy." BlackWarGreymon said suddenly catching all of them by surprise.
"Hikari, long time no see." BlackWarGreymon decided to reveal his identity. Hikari widened her eyes upon realising who he was when he attempted to clap her hand with his huge claw.
"Ko-Koromon?" BlackWarGreymon nodded in acknowledgement. He was the Digiegg that appeared from her father's computer that fateful day which tied her and her brother's fate to the Digital World. They used to play together and Koromon used his ears to clap her hand.
"My data became infused with DNA of a human." BlackWarGreymon shared with them what happened to him after that day he disappeared with Parrotmon to the day he was born from the Dark Tower.
"Oikawa Yukio experimented with the human genetics with the Digimon and eventually created you. Menoa Belucci got further with his research and created Eosmon and that Digimon that chased us from the States all the way back here." Iori summarised what he had gathered so far. The Digimon was able to travel via the Digital Gate freely.
"Menoa transform human into data and used the data to fuse with Digimon." Daisuke was creeped out by the idea alone.
"This is just too much for us." Takeru realised things were getting complicated. "If only Koushirou-san is around. He will be able to figure these out."
"What do we do from now? We can't even land a hit on that Digimon." V-mon reminded them.
"Well, I did manage a scratch." Tailmon placed her paw on her waist feeling proud of her feat.
"How?" Patamon and Armadillomon was bewildered by this fact too.
"Maybe I evolved to Perfect Form?" Tailmon made an assumption glancing awkwardly at BlackWarGreymon who was a mega level Digimon. BlackWarGreymon on the other hand had some other ideas.
"BlackWarGreymon, what do you think?" Hikari felt a little awkward knowing him as their enemy before when they used to be friends for a short time. Fate decided to reunite them years later through unexpected mean.
An image of his memory of his human partner flashed in his mind. BlackWarGreymon peeked at the Crest he had on hand. What if it was only Hikari who could get to the Digimon if that was what that Digimon was what he thought he was. BlackWarGreymon understood staring at the girl with a worried expression.
BlackWarGreymon did not feel good at all. It was something unknown they had never encountered. This dimension was indeed different from where he came from.
BlackWarGreymon sat on the rooftop of the hospital staring up at the sky thinking about things. Taichi was only reconfigured when the one behind Qinglongmon activated the reboot. As for the Vault Diaboromon was after using Taichi in his dimension, did it even exist here?
The sun was shining brightly although it did not affect him. He could feel the warmth of the sun. It felt peaceful to him until a figure loomed over him. BlackWarGreymon readied his claw in response.
He was found by a man around thirties in suit and tie in the roof of the hospital.
"Long time no see. So I'm right. You're BlackWarGreymon. The Digimon I granted the sign of friendship to." BlackWarGreymon's eyes widen as soon as he saw the Crest he wore on his wrist.
"How?" BlackWarGreymon stared at the man who sat crossed legs beside him with wide eye in disbelief. His brown hair was already trimmed short and he was definitely an adult. BlackWarGreymon turned his head to the ground in the direction where Taichi was lying in coma below.
"This?" The Crest on his wrist glowed and the symbol was clear enough for recognition. The man beside BlackWarGreymon was actually a hologram. The image of man sizzled in the air. "There's no way I can be here in person but this is good enough. We can communicate and get things done." BlackWarGreymon stopped his defensive stance.
"Why are you here when you don't belong in this dimension?" He had been looking for him and he showed up for him.
"I have a favour for you and only you can help me." The man requested.
"You know we should not do things that affect the flow of the events, right?" BlackWarGreymon reminded the man. Years before, the man before the Dragon Warrior Digimon had locked down the worlds to preserve the peace after all. BlackWarGreymon was just lucky he managed to travel across time and dimensions when a gap somehow occurred during his confrontation with Qinglongmon and the one behind him.
"Say who who had fought Professor Belucci's creation Heliosmon from this dimension." The man said teasingly. BlackWarGreymon looked away. Since when he learned how to feel ashamed. He was a Digimon created from Dark Towers without a heart. As he looked away he had a glimpse of his black coat and noticed he seemed to have a cut on his arm. There were some blood seen on his torn coat sleeve.
"I called it Heliosmon. He's a sibling of Eosmon. His instinct is to break the sign of friendship, the bonds between the human and the Digimon." The man informed BlackWarGreymon. BlackWarGreymon narrowed his eyes. Heliosmon was the name of the Digimon Hikari and her friends had fought together with him.
Menoa attempted to hide this Digimon from the Agency and shared this fact with Izumi Koushirou. Unfortunately, nothing escaped his eyes at his time. After all, the guy who defeated her, Koushirou as a researcher in his dimension was one helpful resource with a variety of inventions enabling him to move freely in this dimension despite not being there in person. He had yet to be able to get Koushirou in this dimension to assist him. Of course, he was on the way to his rightful destiny.
"I'm just curious." The man said coldly looking up at the sky. "The Vault became corrupted and lost in my time so I opened the gate." The result was the tunnel BlackWarGreymon used to escape to this dimension.
The gates which run through the dimensions which were closed for the peace of all of the worlds had been open once more.
In the HQ of the Incorporated Administrative Agency, an explosion occurred. The cell Izumi Koushirou was detained in was destroyed.
"I'll have to destroy what will cease to exist eventually." The man spoke in unison with another voice that echoed within him to the horrified BlackWarGreymon when Crest of Darkness was suddenly cut off from him by the whip generated with the golden crest on his wrist. A beam of light shot out and impaled BlackWarGreymon through his chest and his armour broke. The Crest of Darkness dissipated destroyed by the light from the Golden Crest of Miracle. The man sizzled and a Digimon appeared where he stood.
"You're?" BlackWarGreymon realised in horror he was the Digimon he fought earlier, and he called himself Heliosmon.
"Sorry, BlackWarGreymon. I can't take any chance. Please help me by disappearing here and now." BlackWarGreymon collapsed attempting to reach for the Digimon who destroyed the bond of his and his partner.
"Don't worry, I'll have your partner join you shortly." The Digimon changed into his human form once more with an evil grin. BlackWarGreymon finally understood Qinglongmon's words when he wanted Taichi killed back then.
"D-don't...do... it..." BlackWarGreymon called out to the man who was the Child of Miracles again before his world ceased to exist.
