Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, if I did, Wolf Pack Productions' subs would be offical :P
A/N: Ok... I don't know where this story is going, but it's going to a very dark place. Be warned. Obvious coupling is Junzumi, be warned, there hints of *three* more. Two Yaoi and one straight ;) Ok... On to the story :P
Cosmic Shame: Chapter Three
Junpei was awoken by furious kicks in his sides by Mercuremon and Duskmon. He had enough energy to crawl away and climb to his feet. His heart dropped to the ground when he saw Izumi being held captive by Ranamon. Why now? he thought to himself, desperately trying to figure something out. Takuya was for all accounts dead, Tomoki was missing and Kouji was just as badly beaten up. Their only hope was to give in. Junpei dropped to his knees and held his Digivice out.
"Let her go, and I'll give you my spirits. Just please don't hurt her."
"Junpei! NO!" Izumi cried, for she could see what was about to happen.
"Stupid child, it's not just your spirits we want." Duskmon looked down on Junpei in disgust. "I want your soul." Duskmon drew his sword and placed it on Junpei's neck. He dragged it lightly and slowly across the skin, causing Junpei to bleed. "Do you feel the warmth of what is rolling down your back? It isn't fake, this is real."
"You bastard! How can you kill humans? How can a Digimon be this cruel?" Kouji climbed to his feet, gripping his right arm tightly.
"You were always so slow to grasp your environment, Onii-chan..." Duskmon smiled under his mask. He had been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
"What? Kouichi!? NO!!!!! Not you! NO! You killed him! You killed Takuya! You have gone too far, brother." Kouji began to run toward his opponent. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION! GARMMON!" Garmmon knocked Duskmon forcibly to the ground. Duskmon chuckled calmly.
"Had your fun yet, Kouji?" Duskmon picked up Garmmon and threw him several dozen feet.
"Never..." Garmmon again charged Duskmon. This time Duskmon caught the beast by the head and slammed him to the ground. The data dispersed and Kouji was again himself. "How could you? How could you take a life? We were raised better than that."
"I didn't take his life, Kouji. Don't be a fool. I set him free." Duskmon then turned and began to walk away. Ranamon threw Izumi to the ground, who immediately ran to Junpei. Mercuremon and Ranamon followed behind Duskmon. Duskmon whipped around and shot a menacing glance at Kouji. "Next time, be prepared for a real battle." He turned again and continued away from the battle scene.
The amusement park was completely destroyed. The three warriors surveyed the battlefield. Izumi continued to comfort Junpei, who was on the verge of unconciousness again. "Tomoki... where's Tomoki?" He could barley speak.
"Oh god.... I left him with Bokomon and Neemon when I saw the battle happening. It looked hopeless... I can't deal with this, not now. I can't deal with my brother."
"Oh and you think we should? He nearly killed us! Who knows what he's done to Takuya. Look what he did to Junpei!"
"He foolishly rushed in to face him. That's not how a warrior should fight!" Kouji drew into himself, getting angrier and colder.
"At least he knows when to fight! Coward." Izumi returned Kouji's coldness with insult. She was hoping to strike a chord with the young man, hoping to snap him into reality. She understood the battle ahead was going to be fierce. She looked away from Kouji and poured her attention to the injured Junpei, who had now slipped into a frightful dream.
"We can't just stay here, they'll find us again." Kouji attempted to be useful, his body was shivering and quaking all over. He didn't understand why he was so angry and so sad at the same time. He barely knew Takuya, but he felt some strange feeling he'd never felt before. It felt to him as if part of his body was missing.
"What the hell should I do, Kouji? We can't leave Junpei here and I don't think he has the strength to move!" The shrillness in Izumi's voice frightened Kouji as he took two steps backward to avoid a possible physical attack from her.
"Perhaps I could be of service?" A Guardromon tapped on Izumi's shoulder, forcing her to jump two feet into the air. "I could use the debris and make a device to carry him safely. I wouldn't mind accompanying you as well." Izumi couldn't resist the charming chivalry of Guardromon. She gave him a weak smile and tried to ready Junpei as best as possible.
"Can I help too? I may be small, but I can fly! That one there, he did his best to stop the bad guy! I want to pay him back in any way I can." A small Kokuwamon looked up at Izumi.
"Sure!" She was amazed, no matter where they went they always seemed to inspire confidence in the Digimon. It gave her hope.
"I think I have it!" declared Guardromon, presenting a makeshift sled. He slowly and carefully placed Junpei onto it and tied the rope around his metal body. The group then made began their journey away from the destroyed amusement park.
They walked for several hours and decided to rest near some large rocks. The sky slowly darkened even though it wasn't time for nightfall. Kouji walked around a walk and startled by a large white and blue wolf. He fell backwards and reached for a stick and tried to attack it as the Garurumon showed it's teeth. It was ready to attack Kouji when it saw Izumi.
"Izumi-chan!? Is that you!?" The Garurumon looked very excited and happy to see Izumi. Izumi looked hesitantly at the creature, not sure what action to take.
"Do I know...you?"
"It's me! Tsunomon! Remember? You and Junpei-oniichan taught me its okay to evolve!" Izumi was rather suprised.
"Tsunomon-kun? What are you doing out here? You've grown a lot!" Izumi smiled, happy the large wolf was on her side.
"Yes... Some bad Digimon came and attacked the school. They... They took the others and made Togemon-sensei dissapear." The tears began to well up in the wolf's eyes. "I tried to fight them, but they defeated me. That's when I evolved again, I'm Garurumon now. I want to find them and make them pay!"
"Those guys... How can they keep destroying their world?" Kouji slammed his fist into the rock. "We have to destroy them! We have to stop this!" Kouji's anger was apparent, but so was his fear.
Lightnining struck near the group. The clouds gave way to a blast of red light and a odd beam was now coming towards them.
"What is that thing!?" cried Izumi.
"That... is a Data Storm! We must avoid it! It will take us to another part of the Digital World!" Garurumon had barley enough time to explain before he pushed Kouji and Izumi out of the way. Izumi looked behind her quick enough to see Guardromon, Junpei and Kokuwamon get sucked up by the Data Storm.
"No!!!!" Her scream didn't have an echo. The Data Storm and the clouds dispersed and the three were all alone.
Somewhere, far away on the other side of the Digital World, Junpei fell deeper into his coma as Guardromon and Kokuwamon watched over him.

Cyberdramon: WAAAAA SAP! I'm really pulling this sap thing for all it's worth :P I actually had intended to write an entirely different chapter than the way this thing turned out, but once I started writing, this is what came out. Our poor Hero Junpei, all alone without his Izumi. Is she safe with Garurumon and Kouji? Who will they meet next in this terribly strange world next? Where is Tomoki? And what *really* happened to Takuya? Only the next chapter will tell you! Stay tuned! :)
Again, big thanks to Izuchan for being my final check before I display for everyone :)
