Haven't updated in a while, have I? I've been busy with other things.

Forte: He got hooked on 'Chrono Trigger'.

Beelzemon: Lavos is a cheap bastard.

Forte: I still can't figure out how he got that far in less than three days. he had Magus, completed all the side-quests known to us, has all the techs, and is almost level fifty. He's got some kind of knack for it.

Beelzemon: NOT AGAIN!!!!!!! LAVOS, YOU CHEATING BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forte: While he's busy trying to beat Lavos, I'll use this little script of his and write the update. Although I have to admit, I don't own Reapermon. Beelzemon doesn't either. I think his only appearance was in 'Digimon Rumble Arena.' Hmmm. looks like Machinedramon got to this. Oh well. Beelzemon's going to be sorry for not doing this himself.

Chapter 18 - The enigma named Johny.Or. The enemy arrives.

That night. while the Tamers and their children were elsewhere, Beelzemon and Johny were at a familiar bar.

"Um. Beelzemon? You know you're not going to get drunk right?"

".Why?"

". Never-mind."

Beelzemon was once again trying to drown his sorrows, and once again, he didn't get drunk. Johny meanwhile, was talking to the same woman Beelzemon threatened to kill before.

"You're Tiffany's kid, right?"

"Yeah. so."

"She wanted me to give you this if I saw you. I tried to drop by your home, but you weren't there."

"I couldn't exactly stay there."

Johny took the object in his hand. It was an old photo with him in it as a baby. Both of his parents were in the shot, neither one seemed as bad as he thought they were.

"THIS is a picture of me with my mom and dad?????"

"Yeah. She also said to give you this letter."

Johny took the letter. He opened it. It read, 'Dear Jonathan, I know that you think I don't care about you, but I do. However, the only job I could get meant staying out for long hours. I'm also sorry about your father. He was a nice man, but when he lost his job, he started drinking. I'm sorry I couldn't have done more for you. Signed, your mother. Tiffany Jones.'

"So she did care about me."

Johny returned to his seat near Beelzemon.

"What's that?" Beelzemon asked him.

"Proof my parents weren't as bad as I thought."

It was quiet at the warehouse. It had been empty for years. It also happened to be across the street from the bar. Anyway, a strange fog soon formed inside. In it, the silhouette of a tall figure with one large blade for an arm appeared. The figure stepped out, revealing a dangerous Digimon known as Reapermon.

"Humph! I don't see much reason for alarm. Perhaps those Digimon that didn't return just got lost. No matter, for I shall rule this world."

"Huh?"

"What is it?"

"Johny, get under the table and stay there."

Johny got under the table just before an odd Digimon kicked the door down and set fire to part of the bar. Everyone human save for Johny ran. Beelzemon simply went to Blast mode to fend off Reapermon. Reapermon struck first, sending Beelzemon flying into a wall. Beelzemon got up, and discharged a Corona Destroyer at the vile Digimon. He shrugged it off, and slashed Beelzemon in half.

"Easier than I thought."

As Beelzemon started to dissipate into data, Johny ran out from under the table, as if to try and gather the bits of data in order to put Beelzemon together again. However, like Humpty Dumpty, there was no way to put him back together again. Reapermon considered killing Johny, but decided he had more important things to do. As he was walking away however, a powerful blast of energy caught him off guard, and nearly killed him.

"What was that???????"

He turned to face Johny, only now his hair had turned yellow, and his now uncovered eyes were blood red.

"HOW COULD A HUMAN ABSORB A DIGIMON'S DATA??????????"

He never got an answer. Johny merely brought his hands together, and energy of all colors came together between them. It then formed a sphere that glowed all the colors of the rainbow. Reapermon was afraid for the first time in his life, and fled before Johny could use the energy. Johny let the energy dissipate before he relaxed. Then he spoke, but the voice was not his, but of an older version of himself, which was his present form.

"I swear I'll kill you."

Johny then picked up the remains of the tan tarp of the bar, and used it as a poncho to cover his body and somewhat tattered clothes. He removed his gloves as he did this. Then he started walking. to where he didn't care, as long as he found Reapermon again.

///////////////////

Forte: Wait a minute. Blonde hair, red eyes, a tan poncho. Is Machinedramon aware that the description somewhat fits Forte.exe?

/////////////////////

Johny began to think about some things.

'Beelzemon. I can't believe you're gone. however; I thank you for giving me this power with your dying breath. Something bothers me though. This is a new life for me, and I need a new name for myself. What will I call myself? Hmm. I don't want to use Bezel.Forte sounds nice. I do like that guy from the video game after all. Forte it is.'

///////////////////////

Forte: MACHINEDRAMON, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS FOR??????????????????????????

Machinedramon V/O: it's just my way of getting revenge for when you blasted me.

Forte: . I seriously wish Beelzemon would either win or give up playing that game. Okay, I'll add something.. No one here owns the name 'Forte'. except me technically. it is MY name after all..

////////////////////////////////

Then Johny, who now calls himself Forte, continued to search for Reapermon.

Forte: Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow your head off for this.

Machinedramon: I'm not really insulting you with this. I'm using this as a way to show that Johny idolized someone other than Beelzemon.

Forte: . Flattery huh? Maybe I WON'T blow your head off for this. but Beelzemon's going to be ticked.

Machinedramon: I'll just tell him it was either this, or he played the villain, and he did detest the idea of being the villain.

Forte: . You're just lucky he's busy with Chrono Trigger.
