Legacy knew that he and Calumon were no longer safe, he logged onto
PHXadmin, he had already been removed, he felt annoyed but tried to put on
a happy front for Calumon's benefit... he wouldn't want to dishearten the
little creature.
Legacy took Calumon back upstairs, "Calumon", he said, with a straight face that surely meant business, "What is your stance on revenge?". "Huh?" "Those people were very mean to you, shall we beat them at Magic at GP Brum?" "Yaaaaaay! So can you teach me to be really good?" "Yes, I can!"
Legacy went to sleep slowly that night, Calumon was curled up on the end of his bed, Legacy returned to his thought from earlier, Calumon was like the little brother that he never had. Calumon was like the friend he had always wished for. Calumon was proof that Anime characters were not all bad.
Legacy still hated the Chibis, their lives were pointless, they seemed to just mess around and try to kill each other, the very sort of meaningless existance that Calumon's entire mindset seemed to oppose. Calumon was a Digimon, but he had needs and feelings as well as anyone else did, but no one was giving Calumon what he needed, until now.
Calumon was overemotional and immature on one hand, but loyal and fairly intelligent on the other. People underestimated him, the thing was, Legacy had taken weeks to properly understand the basics of Magic, Calumon had picked it up in hours. And as for the fact that he was only data, a common argument for Anti-Digimon campaigns... What is data? Data was defined as an information storage, and DNA was an information storage... so were humans also only data?
Legacy finally got to sleep at about 1am... he dreamed about Calumon being attacked by Rob in a chasm, and falling, but he didn't see the end of the dream, because a cheerful face woke him up in the morning, it was Calumon! "HI!"
Legacy got up, it was 8am, fairly reasonable, he didn't want Calumon to get bored, he decided to give Calumon a break from Magic and took him to a close-by soccer field. Calumon seemed extremely interested in the soccer magazines that had been in Legacy's room, so surely he would like the real thing, well he didn't like it, he loved it.
First Legacy showed him some cool tricks to get him interested, then he let Calumon take some shots at him in goal, letting most of them in, of course. After this he explained some of the rules of soccer to Calumon, who seemed fascinated by the constant flow of interesting information which Legacy could give him.
Legacy also got Calumon to pass to him, and off of the dodgy pass he made a spectacular goal and congratulated Calumon, saying it wouldn't have worked without him! At lunch Legacy bought them both cream puffs and Coca Cola, and found it funny when Calumon struggled to drink from the buttle at first, but helped him keep it steady so that he could drink it! "Wow! This drink is so nice! Maybe this world's not so bad after all!" "Maybe it's not, Calumon, maybe it's not!" "There are some mean people around" "'Tis true!"
They looked at each other, each sensing the other's feelings about the other. Calumon sensing Legacy's affinity and care for him, and Legacy feeling Calumon's friendship, loyalty and respect for him. Both knew that the other would never let them down if they could help it, for Calumon had seen Legacy take on his former friends to help him, and Legacy had heard Calumon's words: "Just be careful" he was going to say, when Legacy stood up for him.
The partnership made in hell was becoming each partner's heaven or Nirvana.
Legacy and Calumon played a bit more soccer and then started walking back to Legacy's house, on the way back, 4 CPL members confronted them. "Got a new pet, Legacy? Or something else for Master to kill?" Legacy glared at the fat man who had uttered these insults. "Calumon, do not join in!"
Legacy aimed a kick at the man, who fell backwards, he punched another and flipped to topple another, but the other one grabbed Calumon.
"Leave him outta this, you hurt him you will wish you'd never been born, I swear it!" "Why should I?"
"This is why!" Calumon cried in despair, he shone his ruby light in the guy's eyes! "Well played Calumon!"
Legacy punched the dude in the face, then kicked him in the *ahem* and then swiped him, toppling him over, he stood on the boy's head, "You ever touch Calumon again!" He pressed his foot down harder, "And you will not enjoy the aftermath!"
Legacy picked Calumon up as the CPL hoods scarpered to their feet and ran off.
They got back to Legacy's house with no more conflicts, and Legacy went straight on the Internet, Calumon didn't like the dialling sounds of the modem, and shrunk his ears. "Sorry Calumon, this sound can't be turned off!" Legacy comforted him and put an arm around him.

Legacy scoffed, "Don't worry Calumon, we'll get to the tournament!" Calumon picked up the Magic cards, and Legacy remembered, Calumon reminded him, that playtesting would still be necessary.
