Chapter Seven:

The Master (an epilogue)



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chaomon stepped into the cave like room, the darkness washing over him.

"Do you have the boy?" a voice hissed from a large chair at the back of the room.

"No, master," Chaomon whimpered, shrinking into the shadows, He…he is a tamer. His partner came to save him. And…and Renamon, too…the boy's girl friend is Renamon's tamer… Master, we could run into some problems getting our hands on this boy…

"What is the boy's partner?"

"He…he has a Terriermon, master…"

"Chaomon, years ago, you could beat Renamon with both hands tied behind your back. The addition of a Terriermon should be nothing for you…"

"But… but Renamon can now digivolve… to Kyubimon. And she's more powerful than ever now…

"There has to be a time when Renamon can't be by him…he isn't her tamer, after all. So you'll go back. Attack him when he's alone…or at least only with that Terriermon of his…"

"But, master," Chaomon pleaded, "I am injured…weakened by the battle…I need time to recuperate…"

"Fine then," the master snapped, making Chaomon shrink back even more, " I will give you two weeks…then, you will go back…we need to figure out the powers off the crystal before he receives them, so we need him as soon as possible…when he does the boy turn 16 again?"

"In…in six months, I believe, Master…"

"That should give even an idiot like you enough time to get your hands on him… do not fail me again, Chaomon, you know the consequences… now go tend to your wounds, and don't let me see your face unless you have the boy."

Chaomon left, leaving the master to his thoughts.

"This boy being a tamer could be quite a problem…I'll admit, I hadn't anticipated that…" he said quietly to himself "… and Renamon could be troublesome… hmm…Furimon!" he suddenly called out, and a reddish digimon appeared next to him, "Very nice. Furimon, I need you to follow Chaomon back into the human world. He'll need help. Keep that female tamer and her Renamon busy while Chaomon take the Chosen human…"

"Yes, Master…" Furimon answered in a quiet, raspy voice, "it will be quite a pleasure to finally see all" Renamon again, after all those years…" he suddenly laughed, and a fine ball appeared hovering above his out stretched hand, "she'll never know what hit her."

"Good, good…" the Master whispered. "now leave… do not fail me."

Furimon left, and the Master was once again done.

"Enjoy your limited time of freedom, chosen human… for your days are now numbered…"
