Also to who asked me if he should get a life, I don't know cause I don't know who you are, but since you're asking me then, well, you should look at all those around you and ask, "am I gay?" This will not accomplish anything but it will be good for a laugh. :)
Protectorate 10
The training went as smoothly as could be expected considering Glenn had to modify his uncles training teqniques so much he couldn't tell what they were in the first place. Glenn was going to bed now, man he was tired. Glenn looked over to where Tai and Sora were walking towards the hut they all shared. He so happy everytime he saw her, especially when she was happy. Glenn wanted to call out to the pair, but he to tried, three Meramons had gotten into a big brawl in the middle of camp and it took him, Leomon and Garurumon fifteen minute of fighting to break them up. Epsilon as always was at Glenn's side, Glenn had recently been wondering more and more about Epsilon's past, but everytime Glenn would bring it up Epsilon would get all defensive and tell him to shut-up. What was he hiding? Glenn then jumped when he felt a hand on his should, "acck! Matt! Man don't do that," Glenn told him tring to sound annoyed. Glenn was inches away in his heart from calling Matt a friend, for that matter his best friend!
"Hey man saw the number you did on those Meramon today," Matt gave Glenn a congratulatory slap on the back. Matt unlike Glenn would easyily admit to himself that Glenn was his best friend. (Even if he couldn't carry a tune.) Though he'd never admit it to anyone else, he had a reputation to keep, besides Gabumon was his best friend too. Glenn was his human best friend.
"Thanks," Glenn said smiling at Matt, "though it was good you and Garurumon were there to help," Glenn said so Matt wouldn't get it in his head that Glenn was worth anything really in a fight, "I probably would have lost if you guys hadn't been there to help."
"Yea well," Matt blushed slightly, "then let's leave it at we were all pretty great out there," Matt then wrapped his arm around Glenn's neck and put him in a head lock. Glenn was a little taken back at first, then he realized Matt was just hoarsing around, so Glenn wrapped his arm around Matt's waist and lifted him. MAN! It was hard! Glenn's muscles were already tenderized by those Meramons so lifting Matt was quickly sapping what Glenn had left. Glenn soon dropped Matt back to his feet. Matt gave a triumphet cheer before he let go of Glenn. Glenn stood up and rubbed his neck.
"Maybe I'll leave next week," he thought to himself. Glenn had been putting off leaving for over a month now, he was just so happy he didn't want to leave. Glenn watched as Matt ran ahead to the hut proclaiming his victory. Glenn didn't notice Gabumon come up behind him, or that Epsilon had left.
"Matt really appreciates your friendship," Gabumon said looking up at Matt's new friend.
This got a full fledged jump out of Glenn, "what? Oh, well I don't see why it'll probably cost him his life in the end," Glenn said falling back into dispare, he deserved no better by his opinion, so why did these people always make him forget?
Gabumon hated to hear people talk like this, "when will you stop beating yourself up Glenn? Instead of looking at what you did wrong and then thinking everyone should hate you, you should listen to them and what they say. Not what you think you deserve," Gabumon then ran to the hut after Matt leaving Glenn to think.
"Listen?" Glenn usually refused to hear any advice from anyone except his uncle, but Gabumon's word stuck in his brain. Glenn slowly began to walk towards the hut when the camp began to shake, "what," Glenn asked looking at the walls as pebbles and rocks fell from them, the shaking increased then from the walls exploded hundreds of robots.
"Mekanorimon!" Someone, or something cried.
Tai ran from the hut to hear someone shout "Mekanorimon," Tai then started shouting out commands to Digimon as beams of energy started to rip apart the camp, over twenty rebel Digimon fell in seconds before they got organized. Tai looked and found Sora with Biyomon at his side. Agumon was to Tai's right, "Digimon Digivolve!" Tai commanded over the roar of battle as the rebels fought the attackers. the Digidestined nodded then their respective Digimon Digivolved.
Agumon became Wargreymon
Gabumon became Metalgarurumon
Biyomon became Birdramon became Garudamon
Palmon became Togemon became Lillymon
Gomamon became Ikkakumon became Zudomon
Tentomon became Kabutarimon became Megakabuarimon
Patamon became Angemon
Gatomon became Angewomon
The Digimon and their human partners then ran to different parts of the battle to aid the rebel Digimon.
Garudamon flew into the sky and started shooting down the Mekanorimon in the air.
Lillymon flew up with Garudamon and gave long range support to the ground troops.
Zudomon and Megakabutarimon being as large as they were walked through the ranks to the center of the enemy troops and started wiping out large numbers of them.
Angewomon flew over the enemy troops with Angemon blasting them.
Epsilon was came to Glenn's side, "ready Glenn," he asked smugly.
Glenn couldn't believe his friends attitude! Over twenty Digimon died only a few seconds ago! And more died every second! He had to do something! Glenn's crest then glowed, "Shield of the Protectorate!" Glenn shouted holding his fist to the heavens, a dome of light appeared around all the rebel troops. The Mekanorimon didn't stop the attack though, the ones that were inside the dome continued to fight and the ones outside attacked the shield, Glenn could feel every blast hit, he couldn't keep this up for long, "Tai, Tai get everyone ready to counter attack when I drop the field okay?" Glenn shouted. Glenn didn't get a reply, Tai just started getting eveyone set up, Glenn noticed Matt a few feet to his right with Metalgarurumon near him, they destroyed a Mekanorimon, Glenn turned his head a little to the left to see Leomon destroy Ogremon! "What," Glenn asked indisbelief, Leomon then walked towards Matt. Matt didn't see it coming, Leomon raised his sword and swiftly brought it down to kill the young boy. Glenn was at Matt's side in a second, he brought his halibert infront of him blocking the large cat's attack, "traitor," Glenn spat at the warrior he once admired for his strength.
"Time changes everyone," Leomon replied calmly.
Glenn felt the shield disapear, he didn't care. This guy had tried to kill one of the people Glenn hoped to be able to call friend someday! He was going to kill him! Glenn knocked Leomon's sword up, spun around on the ball of his foot and jammed the blade of his halibert into Leomon's stomach. Leomon laughed.
"Leomon Digivolve to SaberLeomon," he said as a bright light enveloped him.
Glenn fell back a few steps, Leomon had Digivolved! He now looked a lot like one of those sabertoothed tigers you read about in history books. The now more powerful cat leapt at Glenn's throat, ready to tear him limb from limb.
Glenn dropped his halibert and grabbed Saberleomon by the tusks, he fell against the ground as the powerful Digimon slowly edged his way closer to his throat. Glenn pushed with all his might but Saberleomon must be a ultimate Digimon. Saberleomon then threw his head back and roared in pain, he then started jumping around trying to shake something off his back. Glenn quickly got to his feet and saw that Epsilon was on Saberleomon's back and had a deathlock grip on the back of the large cat's next with his powerful teeth. Glenn grabbed his halibert and went to aid his friend, he ducked as one of Saberleomon's powerful paws slashed at him, then came up and slashed Saberleomon across his chest as he jumped to his hind legs trying to throw his attacker off his back. Glenn then was throw a few feet away as the other powerful paw connected with his head. stars blurred Glenn's vision and his body felt numb, he couldn't move at all.
Matt saw the intire thing, "what going on he thought," he then watched as Saberleomon swatted Glenn like a fly sending him flying. That was enough for Matt to decide who to help, "Metalgarurumon attack Saberleomon," Matt shouted as the large metal creature destroyed another group of Mekanorimon.
"What??!!" Metalgarurumon exclaimed in surprise, "Matt I can't do that he's one of us," Metalgarurumon told his long time friend. He looked to where Saberleomon had tossed Glenn and then to where he was now fighting Epsilon face to face having thrown him off before Metalgarurumon had turned to look. He didn't want to hurt the Digimon he had once looked upon as his role model, he had been almost a big brother to all Digimon on File island, he was thier hero. Now his best friend is asking him to throw all that away? how could he expect him to do that? Luckly he didn't have to make that choice because Wargreymon and Tai had seen the intire thing as well.
"Terraforce!" Wargreymon cried as he gathered the large ball of energy between his hands and fired it. Saberleomon jumped out of the way, then charged at Wargreymon, he crashed into the Mega Digimon and a they fought tooth and claw. Saberleomon bit down or Wargreymon's arm and he cried out in pain, he then struck back with claws leaving three scars across Saberleomon's face blinding him, he then leapt into the air spun into a brown tornado and crashed through the once heroic Digimon. Saberleomon let out a painful roar before he disintigrate.
Matt ran over to where Glenn laid on the ground, he looked him over, he looked alright as far as he could tell. Tai came over and helped hoist Glenn onto Matt's back, then he put Glenn's halibert in it's clamps.
Glenn could see everything that was going on, he wanted to tell Matt and Tai not to bother, he wanted to tell them to just leave him where he was. Glenn could see as one after another the rebel forces fell cause they had relied on his training! He had failed hundreds now, it was his fault, was all he could think about as Tai's mouth starting moving really fast and Matt began to carry him away. Glenn was sure Tai was saying something but all he could he was a hollow buzzing sound, he was probably saying that's Glenn's training was to blame and that everyone should run for their lives before he get's them all killed, yes, that must be what he is saying cause it is obviously true. If he had trained these Digimon right they'd be winning right now. Glenn didn't fight as the darkness over took him.
Tai called to Piximon to get his troops out of here, he then called to his friends to follow him. When they had all gathered around Tai he had their Digimon deDigivolve down to their rookie stages then led them into a nearby tunnel. Tai led them through it coming out into a clearing in the woods. Tai didn't let them stop, no, he couldn't let them stop now he had to get them as far away from here as possiable, he lead his friends and their Digimon through the woods till they came to a river about three hours later, it was now pitch black out. The sound of battle had long since died out. "I hope Piximon got all of the troops out," Tai said looking back as everyone fell to the ground. Matt gently laid Glenn on the grass. Sora ran to his side as did Joe.
"He's unconcious," Joe then turned Glenn's head and looked at the bruise where Saberleomon had struck him, it was hard to tell what kind of damage was done in the dark, "he'll be out for a couple hours at least." Joe then stood up and went around to check all the Digimon, they were fine except now they all wanted to know how they had been found.
Sora lifted Glenn's head so it was resting on her knees, "what should we do now Tai," Sora asked looking up at her boyfriend.
"We should wait till morning then start looking for Piximon and the rebels," Tai said sitting down by Sora.
"Sorry I couldn't attack Saberleomon Matt," Gabumon apologized.
"It's nothing man," Matt said sympathetically, "he used to be a hero to you guys, I don't blame you for not wanting to attack him." Matt rested his hand on his friend's head.
T.K. and Kari sat beside eachother under a tree, "you okay Kari," T.K. asking putting his hand over hers on the grass.
"I'm okay T.K.," Kari assured him, she then rested her head on his shoulder as Gatomon curled into a ball on her lap. Patamon went to sleep on T.K.'s head as he leaned against the tree behind them.
Izzy laid on the grass under the night's sky facing the stars above with Tentomon at his side, "good work back there Tentomon," Izzy said without turning his head.
"Thanks Izzy," Tentomon was staring off in the direction of where they had come.
"you were great back there Palmon," Mimi said picking up the little plant and giving her a hug. Mimi was also sitting out from under a tree, though she was sitting up with her legs crossed.
"AWWW thanks it was nothing," Palmon said blushing slightly.
"Tai I don't feel very good," Agumon said coming up to his friend.
"What's the matter buddy," Tai asked concerned for his friend.
"Leomon used to be my friend and I killed him," Agumon looked at the ground in shame.
"C'mon buddy it's not your fault," Tai said putting an arm around his friends neck.
"But what if we could have brought him back," Agumon said still looking very sad.
"Sora why did Leomon betray us," Biyomon asked looking at Sora for answers.
"I don't know Biyo," Sora said looking sad and running her fingers through Glenn's hair.
Epsilon walked out of the forest and laid down beside Glenn without giving anyone a second glance.
"Look everyone we should be safe to sleep here tonight then we got to get a move on," Tai said changing the subject from Leomon. Then the night air was peirced but the sound of a huge explsion, for a second night became day as a flash of light blinded everyone. After his vision cleared Tai stood up and looked around, "what was that," Tai was afraid, could that have been an attack on the rebels? Tai then sat back down.
"What was that," Matt asked trying to rub the spots from his eyes.
"Scientifically speaking an explosion of that magnetude should have left a crater, we can find out what is was tomorrow by finding the crater." Izzy said closing his eyes so the spots wouldn't bother him as much.
Every one then settled down to sleep, Tai took the first watch so Sora could lean her head on his shoulder and sleep. He then watched the clouds go by in the sky occasionaly talking to Agumon.
Glenn stood in the middle of an arena, halibert in hand. His uncle was at the other end of the arena carrying a training staff. "It must be time to train today, hmm, I don't remember wakeing up this morning, for that matter I don't remember what happened in school today," Glenn though getting into a battle stance, "aw well that just means I don't have to remember all Dyan's lame jokes," Glenn then charged at his uncle, he'd win this time. When Glenn was within a few feet his uncle diapeared then Glenn felt his uncle's staff connect with his head sending him to the ground, Glenn got up and turned to face his uncle.
"How is you enemy attacking when you didn't know he'd be there your fault? You can't see what's behind you or hidden so how can you blame youself for a lost battle?" The world diapeard and all that was left was Glenn, not his body or a form but just him and his uncle.
"I should have been more prepared."
"You couldn't see the enemy coming, how can anyone be prepared for what they can't see? Now you plan to run away too?"
"I'm not running! I have to leave so Sora will be safe!"
"Safe? How will your leaving make her safe?"
"If I stay Maisoulmon will kill her!"
"If you leave then Maisoulmon will strike her down without a second thought! You are all that keeps him away Glenn!"
"How? Cause I'm pathetic he can't bear the insult of killing a weakling?"
"NO! He dares not attack cause you can stop him long enough for the other to kill him!"
"Other?"
"Yes Glenn, the other. The other is like you and Epsilon, only a small diffence seperates you."
"Uncle how do you know this?"
"I saw when you captured Maisoulmon before I died, he feared you Glenn. And the other, well, we were close, are close, I can feel the other, and Maisoulmon fears the other more than anyone else. I don't know who the other is but the other is tied to your real past Glenn, not what you've been told. Or remember."
Glenn wanted to ask more but he felt his mind slowly start to wake, "uncle! I'm sorry," Glenn called out.
"Things happen Glenn, you can't stop what you can't see coming." Glenn then awoke. He didn't bother opening his eyes, he could feel something under his head, it was warm and soft, he liked it.
"So are we leaving?" Epsilon asked. Glenn nealy jumped out of his skin on the inside, but outside he gave no sign of being startled.
"No, I can't leave Epsilon not till I find the other, you know the one we can feel," Glenn said relaxing against the soft warm feeling again.
Epsilon was releaved, he really liked these people just like Glenn did, "how do you plan to find out who it is," Epsilon asked sheepishly.
"My uncle said "the other" is from my real past, not what I've been told or remember," Glenn said remembering his dream.
"I thought your uncle was dead Glenn," Epsilon tensed a little.
"He is, but I was just talking to him, in my dreams," but that didn't matter right now, "Epsilon, what of my past, what did he mean when he said not what I've been told or remember?"
"I don't know," Epsilon couldn't tell him, not yet anyway, "look Glenn that doesn't matter right now all that does matter is find out who the other is," he had to change the subject, Glenn wasn't ready for the truth, though how was he pretend he didn't know who the other really was? He knew exactly who she was, maybe he should just tell Glenn. No, then Glenn would push about his real past, Glenn would kill himself if he knew the truth, why can't he accept the fact that there's some things he can't change?
"Any ideas? We know the other is more powerful than us, but then why hasn't he used any of his abilities like us?" Glenn checked over all the Digidestined in his mind, none looked like they had any real power except to Digivolove their partners.
"I don't know Glenn, and how do you know it's a he? There are girls here," Epsilon pointed out. He couldn't come out and tell Glenn, but he could lead him in the right direction.
"What? Did I say he? Sorry it's just I don't feel like calling the other, the other all the time. So I'll just call him he till I know otherwise," Glenn replied totally missing the hint Epsilon had given him.
Epsilon shook his head, this was going to take awhile. Then he's going to have to prepare Glenn for the truth, about everything, it will cruch him no matter what happens. Epsilon almost cries everytime he thinks of it.
Glenn then let himself drift off to sleep, blissful sleep where nothing could hurt him. Though his dreams were filled with horrible nightmares of what his past used to be, he was always fighting something, but it always won and then killed Sora.
Epsilon didn't go to sleep he remained awake thinking of what to do, "Patrick, Cassy, he's starting to ask questions, what should I do?" Epsilon asked looking to the stars. Epsilon then looked over to see Glenn fidgiting slightly, Sora leaned down and kissed is forehead, "lucky guy, doesn't even know how lucky, he's the only one of us who got out, whole." Epsilon looked down at the paws that once had been hands at a time long gone. Epsilon found himself remembering what really happened when they got their crests, there was five of them, not three like Glenn thinks. Four kids from Japan and one kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Glenn had always taken the fact that he wasn't supposed to be the fifth child as his fault, he was given the Protectorate and that really didn't help. He'd always go on about how he couldn't protect anyone cause the crest would only work for the one it was ment for, not him. Glenn had been the youngest, along with Nathan, Nathan, he was the worst off of all of them, he became the evil they were ment to fight. Cassy and Patrick, they got off good all things considered, they died quickly. Epsilon, he still could remember his real name, but it hardly suited him anymore, Adam. Epsilon had dropped that name after Gennai rebuilt him in the body of this wolf, or Digimon, Epsilon still didn't completely understand what he was. Glenn, he trapped the evil they had to fight after Nathan bonded with him. Glenn got off best, he was still human for the most part. Epsilon then forced himself to sleep.
*************************************************************************************************
"What do you mean they couldn't find the Digidestined," Piedmon roared a the Mekanorimon messanger.
"Targets were not in the area when base was destroyed, 60% of the rebel forces were destroyed," it repeated the message it gave when it arrived in the first place.
"TRUMP SWORD," Piedmon called throwing a sword and disintagrating the Mekanorimon, "I want them found!" Piedmon shouted.
*************************************************************************************************
Glenn got to his feet, the sun was just starting to come up. Glenn brought a hand to his temple, his head was ringing, what had hit him. Sora was asleep sitting on her knees, she must have been what he was sleeping on. Glenn gently laid her against Tai's chest and straightened her legs. Tai was resting against a tree. Glenn trusted Sora with Tai, he was a good guy, he wouldn't hurt her. Glenn rubbed his back, he really needed a better way to store his halibert, those clamps really hurt to sleep on. Epsilon laid on the ground not two feet from where Glenn had been sleeping, "what do you know Epsilon? What are you hiding from me?" Glenn asked looking at his sleeping friend. Glenn walked little ways away from the group, took off his halibert and started going through the motions his uncle had him do when they had nothing better to do. the best part was that to do these you needed a good sized tree, the point of the exercise was to see how big of a chunk of wood you could slash off in one attack. Glenn didn't was still tired, but after all those nightmares he could afford to miss a little sleep.
TO BE CONTINUED.........
Authors notes: Bet you all thought you had Glenn figured out didn't you? Well this boys past is a little more complex, (I'm such a genious!) To all you smart people who figure out the truth of Glenn (well what little can be figured out at this point) please don't spoil it for anyone.
Also to who asked me if he should get a life, I don't know cause I don't know who you are, but since you're asking me then, well, you should look at all those around you and ask, "am I gay?" This will not accomplish anything but it will be good for a laugh. :)
Protectorate 10
The training went as smoothly as could be expected considering Glenn had to modify his uncles training teqniques so much he couldn't tell what they were in the first place. Glenn was going to bed now, man he was tired. Glenn looked over to where Tai and Sora were walking towards the hut they all shared. He so happy everytime he saw her, especially when she was happy.

If he had trained these Digimon right they'd be winning right now. Glenn didn't fight as the darkness over took him.
Tai called to Piximon to get his troops out of here, he then called to his friends to follow him. When they had all gathered around Tai he had their Digimon deDigivolve down to their rookie stages then led them into a nearby tunnel. Tai led them through it coming out into a clearing in the woods. Tai didn't let them stop, no, he couldn't let them stop now he had to get them as far away from here as possiable, he lead his friends and their Digimon through the woods till they came to a river about three hours later, it was now pitch black out. The sound of battle had long since died out. "I hope Piximon got all of the troops out," Tai said looking back as everyone fell to the ground. Matt gently laid Glenn on the grass. Sora ran to his side as did Joe.
"He's unconcious," Joe then turned Glenn's head and looked at the bruise where Saberleomon had struck him, it was hard to tell what kind of damage was done in the dark, "he'll be out for a couple hours at least." Joe then stood up and went around to check all the Digimon, they were fine except now they all wanted to know how they had been found.
Sora lifted Glenn's head so it was resting on her knees, "what should we do now Tai," Sora asked looking up at her boyfriend.
"We should wait till morning then start looking for Piximon and the rebels," Tai said sitting down by Sora.
"Sorry I couldn't attack Saberleomon Matt," Gabumon apologized.
"It's nothing man," Matt said sympathetically, "he used to be a hero to you guys, I don't blame you for not wanting to attack him." Matt rested his hand on his friend's head.
T.K. and Kari sat beside eachother under a tree, "you okay Kari," T.K. asking putting his hand over hers on the grass.
"I'm okay T.K.," Kari assured him, she then rested her head on his shoulder as Gatomon curled into a ball on her lap. Patamon went to sleep on T.K.'s head as he leaned against the tree behind them.
Izzy laid on the grass under the night's sky facing the stars above with Tentomon at his side, "good work back there Tentomon," Izzy said without turning his head.
"Thanks Izzy," Tentomon was staring off in the direction of where they had come.
"you were great back there Palmon," Mimi said picking up the little plant and giving her a hug. Mimi was also sitting out from under a tree, though she was sitting up with her legs crossed.
"AWWW thanks it was nothing," Palmon said blushing slightly.
"Tai I don't feel very good," Agumon said coming up to his friend.
"What's the matter buddy," Tai asked concerned for his friend.
"Leomon used to be my friend and I killed him," Agumon looked at the ground in shame.
"C'mon buddy it's not your fault," Tai said putting an arm around his friends neck.
"But what if we could have brought him back," Agumon said still looking very sad.
"Sora why did Leomon betray us," Biyomon asked looking at Sora for answers.
"I don't know Biyo," Sora said looking sad and running her fingers through Glenn's hair.
Epsilon walked out of the forest and laid down beside Glenn without giving anyone a second glance.
"Look everyone we should be safe to sleep here tonight then we got to get a move on," Tai said changing the subject from Leomon. Then the night air was peirced but the sound of a huge explsion, for a second night became day as a flash of light blinded everyone. After his vision cleared Tai stood up and looked around, "what was that," Tai was afraid, could that have been an attack on the rebels? Tai then sat back down.
"What was that," Matt asked trying to rub the spots from his eyes.
"Scientifically speaking an explosion of that magnetude should have left a crater, we can find out what is was tomorrow by finding the crater." Izzy said closing his eyes so the spots wouldn't bother him as much.
Every one then settled down to sleep, Tai took the first watch so Sora could lean her head on his shoulder and sleep. He then watched the clouds go by in the sky occasionaly talking to Agumon.
Glenn stood in the middle of an arena, halibert in hand. His uncle was at the other end of the arena carrying a training staff. "It must be time to train today, hmm, I don't remember wakeing up this morning, for that matter I don't remember what happened in school today," Glenn though getting into a battle stance, "aw well that just means I don't have to remember all Dyan's lame jokes," Glenn then charged at his uncle, he'd win this time. When Glenn was within a few feet his uncle diapeared then Glenn felt his uncle's staff connect with his head sending him to the ground, Glenn got up and turned to face his uncle.
"How is you enemy attacking when you didn't know he'd be there your fault? You can't see what's behind you or hidden so how can you blame youself for a lost battle?" The world diapeard and all that was left was Glenn, not his body or a form but just him and his uncle.
"I should have been more prepared."
"You couldn't see the enemy coming, how can anyone be prepared for what they can't see? Now you plan to run away too?"
"I'm not running! I have to leave so Sora will be safe!"
"Safe? How will your leaving make her safe?"
"If I stay Maisoulmon will kill her!"
"If you leave then Maisoulmon will strike her down without a second thought! You are all that keeps him away Glenn!"
"How? Cause I'm pathetic he can't bear the insult of killing a weakling?"
"NO! He dares not attack cause you can stop him long enough for the other to kill him!"
"Other?"
"Yes Glenn, the other. The other is like you and Epsilon, only a small diffence seperates you."
"Uncle how do you know this?"
"I saw when you captured Maisoulmon before I died, he feared you Glenn. And the other, well, we were close, are close, I can feel the other, and Maisoulmon fears the other more than anyone else. I don't know who the other is but the other is tied to your real past Glenn, not what you've been told. Or remember."
Glenn wanted to ask more but he felt his mind slowly start to wake, "uncle! I'm sorry," Glenn called out.
"Things happen Glenn, you can't stop what you can't see coming." Glenn then awoke. He didn't bother opening his eyes, he could feel something under his head, it was warm and soft, he liked it.
"So are we leaving?" Epsilon asked. Glenn nealy jumped out of his skin on the inside, but outside he gave no sign of being startled.
"No, I can't leave Epsilon not till I find the other, you know the one we can feel," Glenn said relaxing against the soft warm feeling again.
Epsilon was releaved, he really liked these people just like Glenn did, "how do you plan to find out who it is," Epsilon asked sheepishly.
"My uncle said "the other" is from my real past, not what I've been told or remember," Glenn said remembering his dream.
"I thought your uncle was dead Glenn," Epsilon tensed a little.
"He is, but I was just talking to him, in my dreams," but that didn't matter right now, "Epsilon, what of my past, what did he mean when he said not what I've been told or remember?"
"I don't know," Epsilon couldn't tell him, not yet anyway, "look Glenn that doesn't matter right now all that does matter is find out who the other is," he had to change the subject, Glenn wasn't ready for the truth, though how was he pretend he didn't know who the other really was? He knew exactly who she was, maybe he should just tell Glenn. No, then Glenn would push about his real past, Glenn would kill himself if he knew the truth, why can't he accept the fact that there's some things he can't change?
"Any ideas? We know the other is more powerful than us, but then why hasn't he used any of his abilities like us?" Glenn checked over all the Digidestined in his mind, none looked like they had any real power except to Digivolove their partners.
"I don't know Glenn, and how do you know it's a he? There are girls here," Epsilon pointed out. He couldn't come out and tell Glenn, but he could lead him in the right direction.
"What? Did I say he? Sorry it's just I don't feel like calling the other, the other all the time. So I'll just call him he till I know otherwise," Glenn replied totally missing the hint Epsilon had given him.
Epsilon shook his head, this was going to take awhile. Then he's going to have to prepare Glenn for the truth, about everything, it will cruch him no matter what happens. Epsilon almost cries everytime he thinks of it.
Glenn then let himself drift off to sleep, blissful sleep where nothing could hurt him. Though his dreams were filled with horrible nightmares of what his past used to be, he was always fighting something, but it always won and then killed Sora.
Epsilon didn't go to sleep he remained awake thinking of what to do, "Patrick, Cassy, he's starting to ask questions, what should I do?" Epsilon asked looking to the stars. Epsilon then looked over to see Glenn fidgiting slightly, Sora leaned down and kissed is forehead, "lucky guy, doesn't even know how lucky, he's the only one of us who got out, whole." Epsilon looked down at the paws that once had been hands at a time long gone. Epsilon found himself remembering what really happened when they got their crests, there was five of them, not three like Glenn thinks. Four kids from Japan and one kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Glenn had always taken the fact that he wasn't supposed to be the fifth child as his fault, he was given the Protectorate and that really didn't help. He'd always go on about how he couldn't protect anyone cause the crest would only work for the one it was ment for, not him. Glenn had been the youngest, along with Nathan, Nathan, he was the worst off of all of them, he became the evil they were ment to fight. Cassy and Patrick, they got off good all things considered, they died quickly. Epsilon, he still could remember his real name, but it hardly suited him anymore, Adam. Epsilon had dropped that name after Gennai rebuilt him in the body of this wolf, or Digimon, Epsilon still didn't completely understand what he was. Glenn, he trapped the evil they had to fight after Nathan bonded with him. Glenn got off best, he was still human for the most part. Epsilon then forced himself to sleep.

"What do you mean they couldn't find the Digidestined," Piedmon roared a the Mekanorimon messanger.
"Targets were not in the area when base was destroyed, 60% of the rebel forces were destroyed," it repeated the message it gave when it arrived in the first place.
"TRUMP SWORD," Piedmon called throwing a sword and disintagrating the Mekanorimon, "I want them found!" Piedmon shouted.

Glenn got to his feet, the sun was just starting to come up. Glenn brought a hand to his temple, his head was ringing, what had hit him. Sora was asleep sitting on her knees, she must have been what he was sleeping on. Glenn gently laid her against Tai's chest and straightened her legs. Tai was resting against a tree. Glenn trusted Sora with Tai, he was a good guy, he wouldn't hurt her. Glenn rubbed his back, he really needed a better way to store his halibert, those clamps really hurt to sleep on. Epsilon laid on the ground not two feet from where Glenn had been sleeping, "what do you know Epsilon? What are you hiding from me?" Glenn asked looking at his sleeping friend. Glenn walked little ways away from the group, took off his halibert and started going through the motions his uncle had him do when they had nothing better to do. the best part was that to do these you needed a good sized tree, the point of the exercise was to see how big of a chunk of wood you could slash off in one attack. Glenn didn't was still tired, but after all those nightmares he could afford to miss a little sleep.
TO BE CONTINUED.........
Authors notes: Bet you all thought you had Glenn figured out didn't you? Well this boys past is a little more complex, (I'm such a genious!) To all you smart people who figure out the truth of Glenn (well what little can be figured out at this point) please don't spoil it for anyone.
