Disclaimer: Come now, if we owned Digimon, do you think we'd be writing a fanfic?

Akuma is owned by the great Elimon! Melissa and Keith are owned by the equally great Katsu!

Nobunaga Katsuyouri "Well, at least I have some idea what to say. That with that, we got further involved, the next day when Akuma woke up, it ended with one more chosen, and one more of my sins. Well, you know what they say, impure hearts produce impure deeds, or in this case, is it, Impure chosen produce Impure Evolutions....."

Akuma comes around eventually, although he doesn't open his eyes.

Okay, he thinks, If I open my eyes and see my ceiling, this was all a dream. A wacked out dream. If I see Keith... God help me!

Keith thinks to himself "Please Buddha, no more having him and me receive prophecies, or him turning into a giant samurai again."

Akuma opens his eyes. Then shuts them again. "Damn."

Keith nods "yes, I know, this is the worst face to see when waking up.

Akuma blinks, then starts laughing.

He blinks "It wasn't that funny."

"No, that's not funny. What I just did... Now that's funny! I've never even hurt a fly!"

Keith glares "then consider yourself lucky Alright! What you did is the most sickening experience I've ever known you have put your life above others by destroying it!......it is truly worth the final punishments....."

Akuma is silent for a long while. After a few minutes, he mutters a barely audible "Sorry."

He sighs "No....it's my fault, I'm just touchy on the whole murder subject, it's......kinda personal."

Akuma decides not to press the subject. He looks towards where the warrior once stood...

"Hey. what's that egg?"

Keith shrugs "Search me."

Akuma walks over to the egg, and touches it gingerly. As it doesn't bite, he picks it up.

Keith follows him and stares "Well, it's too big to be a chicken, and definitely not big enough to be an ostrich egg..."

"Since when did normal eggs have stripes?"

He shrugs "The first Easter?"

Akuma blinks at him "I'm not gonna even attempt to answer that."

He smirks "It was a random guess."

The egg starts to vibrate "It was wrong, too. I think this thing is alive."

He looks at the Egg "I got that, but what the Hell leaves a striped egg when it dies?"

Akuma is silent for a while.

"A Digimon, maybe?"

Keith blinks, then nods "Akuma, my first instincts are to put that down and walk away quickly and quietly."

Akuma nods, and he goes to put the egg down. But, then, it starts to crack along the middle, and split open... to reveal a squishy, jellyfish like creature.

"Poyo!"

Akuma's heart practically melts.

Keith grins, then pokes it gently "hey there...

The Poyomon looks disgruntled at the intrusion, and nips him on the finger. Although he has no teeth, so it's useless.

Keith pulls up his finger, the Poyomon with it "Uhmmm...."

Poyomon appears not to want to let go. Perhaps Keith's finger tastes good?

Keith grits his teeth, then takes a stick of the ground, attempting to pry Poyomon off his finger, no dice.

Poyomon lets go, and lands on the ground with an audible boing".

He blinks "Phew."

Poyomon and Akuma both look at him.

He looks at both "Don't look now Akuma, but I think he's mimicking you."

Akuma doesn't look.

He nods, then turns glancing behind his shoulder "Someone's watching us."

Akuma looks startled "Who could be watching us out here?"

Keith blinks "It's a girl, around our age, medium build, very athletic, and with the weirdest clothes I have ever seen."

"Eh." Akuma looks around.

"Behind Poyomon, a few feet away, she's beginning to walk away..."

Akuma sees her "Hey, wait!"

The girl attempts to run even farther, Keith dashes over and sweeps her legs "Ah!" he grabs her by the neck "Who are you?"

Akuma follows behind Keith a lot more slowly, looking at the girl with an intense gaze.

Keith holds the girl by her neck, she is wearing extremely baggy pants and a gray tanktop. Proving Keith's point, her clothes do look weird on her "Let me go-"

"No chance."

Akuma blinks "Um. what's your name?"

She looks at Akuma "It's Melissa, are you two going to let me go? Or do I have to sue your asses when I get back home!?"

Keith grits his teeth "An American, aieeee."

Akuma sighs "Great."

Keith lets her drop to the ground "O fate, what cruelty it has dealt us, being stuck with this."

Melissa glares "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!"

"YOU HEARD ME!"

Akuma sighs again "Fantastic."

Both immediately begin to pound each other, then Melissa sees Poyomon "AW!" she runs over "How cute..."

Poyomon smiles at her.

Keith sighs "My luck, anyway, what are you doing here?"

Akuma nods "That's actually a very good question."

Melissa shrugs "Well, I got this e-mail from someone, asking if I wanted to play. I asked why, and he said, to find the ultimate challenge. I thought that meant he knew I was a raver, not this! So I took a train to NYC to take the plane to London when-"

"We know, you got sidetracked here."

"The same thing happened to us," Akuma says, sitting down on the floor.

Keith nods "Then one thing we probably should figure out, is how we got here, and who sent us."

"Keith, we KNOW who sent us! Ophanimon, remember?"

He sighs "Sorry, with all this, it's hard to take everything in."

Melissa blinks "Who?"

Akuma shrugs "Some woman who contacted us over my Digivice. I think she's a ... Digimon."

She sighs "this is way too weird, I don't give a damn about here, my parents are probably worried sick, and I have no idea how to get to them."

Akuma suddenly thinks of something "Do you have a cell phone?"

She pulls one out of her pocket "Here, why?"

"Because my cell phone, for some reason, transformed into this." He shows her his Digivice.

She blinks "Woah, pretty cool." she looks at Keith "Do You have a cell phone?"

He hands her a destroyed mess "The train ride...."

Akuma looks at the two phones "How come mine was the only one to change?"

She shrugs "Maybe it's because this is where yours changes, and we have different locations."

Akuma blinks "You're smarter than you look."

She grins "Thanks!"

Keith nods "Then we have to figure out where ours are."

Akuma looks at Keith "Okay. Umm."

He nods "yeah, I know you have no clue, but we may as well try, it may help us understand why we're here." he gets up, dropping a large envelope "Whoops!"

Melissa snatches it "What do we have here.....?"

Akuma snatches it out of Melissa's hand.

Melissa snatches it back "C'mon let me see!"

Keith grabs it "Let go!"

She and him tug, causing the envelope to rip and dozens of newspaper clippings to fly out.

Akuma attempts to pick the newspaper up before Melissa can.

She grabs several "lessee...Kanbei arrests several terrorists in raid...Legendary general charged with pre-meditated murder.... Yellow Comet under investigation...Kanbei convicted by son's Testimony...Obituary: Nobunaga Kanbei, born 1960, died 2001 in jail. Was convicted when his elder son Katsuyouri testified against him, for murder of Kanbei's wife, Nobunaga Mariko...Keith, who is in these clippings?"

Akuma looks at Keith; surprised "Katsuyouri is Keith."

Keith glares at them "Just leave me alone...." he walks off

"Hey I didn't mean to-"

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Akuma winces "Maybe I shouldn't have said that."

Melissa sighs "Aw man, I had no idea..." she looks at the articles "Hmmm....Could you believe it, finding out your father was going to kill your mother?"

"You haven't met my father."

She blinks "Neither have I, or my mom for that matter."

Akuma looks at her "Are you adopted or something?"

She shakes her head "I live with my uncle, from what I know, both my parents are together underground in Arabia, they both were soldiers too, but, unlike Keith, I never even got the chance to remember them."

Akuma nods "Right."

She looks up "What about you? I'm sure you have some delightfully depressing story to tell, I told mine, I accidentally told Keith's, so what's up?"

"Uh.. The only depressing thing in my life is this."

She grins "Lucky Y-...Akuma, right?"

He nods "Uh-huh."

"What's that right behind you?"

He looks around quickly.

A Devidramon is standing, it's mouth twisted into a snarl.

"This is just a wild guess, but I think it's something we should run away from."

She nods and begins running.

He runs after her quickly. Boy, he's fast. He outstrips Melissa easily.

She chases after him, enhanced by pure terror "You Jerk! You would've just left me to die!"

He then skids to a halt, taking out his Digivice.

She catches up "What are you doing?"

His eyes are now pure white.

She blinks "Woah..."

SPIRITO EVOLUTION! WOLFMON!

The large, white clad warrior now stands in front of Melissa, between her and the Devidramon.

As she calmly steps back the Devidramon roars, then is suddenly cut off and it blinks, a loud crushing noise.

Wasting no time, Wolfmon quickly pulls off his Licht Sieger attack, and runs at the Devidramon.

A dark black creature jumps off in time as Wolfmon's attack lands. The Devidramon screeching in pain.

Wolfmon drives his energy blade all the way to the hilt into Devidramon's head, then jumps back.

The Devidramon falls to the ground, its wings a bloody mess as well.

Wolfmon looks around for whoever-or whatever-attacked the Devidramon.

A Warrior covered in black skeletal armor with three blazing red eyes and short strands of blond hair grins evilly from nearby.

Wolfmon looks at the other warrior. "Duskmon."

He nods, a gleam in his eye.

Wolfmon then glows, and reverts to Akuma.

Duskmon begins to burn with black fire, to reveal Keith falling to the ground.

Akuma stands shakily "Dejicodo Scan!" He scans Devidramon's code, then falls to the floor.

Melissa blinks, then falls to her knees "Oh well..." she pulls Keith next to Akuma and takes out a lighter and some paper, setting a fire.
