Regless: Hey I'll have you know I drive perfectly when I borrow my mom's license!
Henry: Now now, we can Fight all day. I personally would rather read the next chapter.
Regless: What the hell? Oh another Muse. (Grabs Terriermon) you are not getting my Easter Bunny!
Henry: Riiight! Anyway this guy doesn't own Digimon if he did I doubt it would take him more than a week to drive it into the ground.
Regless: Damn straight. My incompetence is my virtue. HA HA HA. What's a virtue?

Perfect Hazard - Chapter 2 - Influence
Takato slowly climbed to his feet. He was unsure of how long he was out. He felt dizzy and confused, almost like a day trying not to fall asleep in school.
"Ugh, Where am I?" Takato surveyed his surroundings. First noticing that there was no Megidramon, then that there was no Beelzemon. He shifted his weight to one foot while he thought about what might of happened and quickly noticed he wasn't in any pain which kinda surprised him since he was in an explosion and all. He looked at his hands in disbelief and noticed one black Digital Hazard sign on the back of each hand. "What the, why do I have this?" He quickly pushed the thought from his mind and turned to his friends.
"Hey guys, I'm alright" Takato yelled and began turning until his mind dawned on something. "Wait, Rika.?" He looked around and searched franticly hoping she was alright "Where are you?". When he found nothing he turned up to search for his other friends. They too were missing. At first he thought the explosion of light swallowed them. However when he looked down again notice there were footprint in the debris. "They left me here?" He sulked "Can I blame them?". Even so, he was a little surprised Rika split as well, seeing as how she was the first to offer her support after what he did to Guilemon.
Takato ran across the debris trying to navigate the cliffs and craters. His first priority would be to make amends with Guilmon. "Hey, boy are you alright?" He called as he reached the crater Megidramon had been in. However, when he peered down into the gaping hole all he saw dirt and drag marks. "Guess my friends must have taken him to a safer place he thought." He looked at his digivice to try and get a lock on his partner, only to be greeted with another glowing red Digital Hazard sign. "I really screwed up."
He looked up and noticed the drag marks went off into a stone plain that looked almost like endless ruins. "Wait a minute. Did. did they give up on Calumon.? No they must just have gone back to regroup, that's all." However he was doubting his own words. Looking up again he sighed "Guess I was out for a while, I should get going now. Man. I'm gonna have a lot of apologizing to do. Henry, Jeri, Rika. I hope you can forgive me." and with that he set off walking
***Meanwhile***
Giant Flaming Bird "Well Azulongmon, it seems the Catalyst has escaped"
Azulongmon "Pardon me, Zhuqiaomon, but wasn't it your job to retrieve and guard the catalyst"
Zhuqiaomon "Hmm, I'll have none of this from you. It's better that he escaped anyway, the Chaos is after him, it already laid waste to the catalyst's shrine"
Azulongmon "Shrine? You mean that cramped prison, no wonder he ran off. He is a digimon now please treat him accordingly"
Zhuqiaomon "And should he refuse to come back?"
Azulongmon ".As much as I'd hate to say it we do need his power. Force him, but only if absolutely neccassary. Oh how DID he escape, by the way?"
Zhuqiaomon ".He climbed out, I didn't think the cream puff had it in him."
Azulongmon "You look troubled still, is there anything else?"
Zhuqiaomon "Yes. It's about the new recruit, Beelzemon"
Azulongmon "Oh yes how is he doing?"
Zhuqiaomon "Very well, he has surpassed all of my other subordinates, but recently he was injured by some strange light. I've confirmed it wasn't the catalyst"
Azulongmon "Really? Do you have any idea where the light came from? Any outside sources?"
Zhuqiaomon "He is fine and has already recovered. As for outside sources the only outside sources are the tamers and they can't even reach the Mega level."
Azulongmon "Hmmm I will look into it. I trust you will do the same."
Zhuqiaomon "Of course" Azulongmon turned to leave
Azulongmon & Zhuqiaomon **I have the strange feeling I'm forgetting something.**
***Meanwhile***
The tamer's were huddled around in a small encampment. They had woken up some time ago. They quickly realized their opponent was nowhere to be found and split dragging a large Red Dinosaur behind them. They were all confused as to what happened before they woke up, but seeing as how Beelzemon was gone, they didn't care too much. The thought of surviving had almost disappeared in the fight against Beelzemon until a strange light consumed the battlefield and removed their executioner.
As far as they remembered Jeri, Kazu, and Kenta entered the digital world to find and rescue a kidnapped Calumon. Rika followed them to load their data while Henry merely followed his sister who entered the digital world lord knows how. They had met up with Ryo, another tamer who had lived in the digital world for quite some time but he had to leave due to his partners Berserk personality.
Rika: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"
Kazu: "I think it's pretty obvious. Ryo is waaay better than you."
Kenta "Ummm uhh no offence Rika, but I agree with Kazu. If Beelzemon comes back then we'll need someone strong enough to fight him. and that person is Ryo."
Rika "If you think I'm sticking around for Mr. Perfect to show up, you got another thing coming. Renamon can take care of Beelzemon in a heartbeat."
Henry butted in. "Renamon can't fight a Mega, you have a hard enough time just getting her to Taomon!"
Rika turned and glared at Henry "Oh your one to talk. Tell me does the word 'backbone' mean anything to you?"
Henry "."
Suzie "Hey, you be nice to my bwother." Suzie ran up and tried to kick Rika who just shoved her to the side with one hand
Henry "Hey that's my sister!" Henry rushed over to help Suzie to her feet. She was crying non-stop.
Rika "If you care so much then don't get her to fight your battles for you!"
Henry "."
The digimon were also huddled around having their own arguments while Jeri sat off the side under a piece of the ruins, unable to hold back the tears due to the sight in front of them. What she thought were good friends fighting and hurting each other. Then she remembered a recent addition to their party. A certain red and black Dinosaur with covered in odd symbols including a peculiar triangle design on his forehead.
Type virus. Data: Unknown
That's was about all anyone knew of Guilmon. He remained lying down on his side with hollow eyes. Like he was a world away from everything.
Jeri Forced a smile and tried to talk to the newcomer "Hi, my name is Jeri!, what's yours?"
Guilmon did not so much as move his eyes
Jeri "Ummm, nice weather, huh?"
Guilmon "."
Jeri "Where do you come from"
Guilmon "."
Jeri "Do those symbols on your body mean anything or are they just for decoration"
Guilmon "."
Jeri was at a loss ".sigh. you like. food?"
Guilmon "g..uil..mon..br..ead" It was to low to hear what he said but Jeri knew he definitely said something
Jeri inched closer becoming excited "What was that?" However her disabled digivice began to beep, Guilmon growled quietly for a moment, closed his eyes and did not move. Shortly afterwards, the beeping stopped and Jeri looked up to see Henry carrying his sister who had fallen asleep.
Henry "What was that?" He asked setting his sister down leaning against a rock side.
Jeri "I don't know. he just seemed to respond when I asked him about food. But now he back to usual again" Jeri looked down sadly
Henry "Well at least we know he's alright, he'll come around, it'll just take some time is all"
Jeri "Really?! Umm thanks. Henry?" Henry nodded and she continued "It's nice to see someone who's not preoccupied with fighting." Jeri held her digivice up slightly so they both could see the static on the screen "Fighting only makes more suffering."
Henry "I understand. umm who was your partner"
Jeri "Leomon. he said I had a lion's heart right before he was." Jeri began fighting the tears. Henry put his hand on her shoulder and she burst out crying into his chest hugging him tightly.
Off to the other side of the miniature encampment Rika looked at the couple unamused. "Renamon I've had enough, Let's go". Renamon turned to leave but not before smacking Terriermon in the head. Terriermon got ready to strike back but Henry stepped in his way glaring at Rika.
Henry "What was that for?"
Rika said nothing as she walk off with Renamon making a rude gesture with one of her fingers.
Terriermon "C'mon Henry just once I wanna take a shot at her"
Henry "No, let her leave. The last thing we need if more fighting amongst ourselves"
Terriermon pouted and folded his arms while Lopmon tried to rationalize Henry's statement to him. Gardromon sat back and observed everything.
***One Hour Later***
Takato was all to happy to see the familiar face of Rika and her digimon partner walking in his direction.
Takato "Hey Rika, I'm so glad your alright." He called as he ran up to them
"." Rika continued silently
Takato "Can't you hear me?"
Rika "."
Takato "Uh? I guess your still upset about what I did. I guess I deserve that"
Rika continued straight on. Takato didn't realize but when Rika walked by part of her hand touched, and went through his hand, Rika paused for a moment causing Renamon to look at her in concern.
Renamon "Rika, are you alright? Do you see an opponent"
Rika ".uh. oh! Umm no I just felt. weird. Almost like I should go back"
Takato turned and noticed Rika and Renamon staring straight past him
Renamon "You mean back to the group of wandering idiots and Mr. Perfect?"
Rika "Yeah. Pretty stupid huh?! Let's go!"
Rika and Renamon continued walking. Rika seemed to feel much better, and nicer, which was odd and caused Renamon to keep passing her nervous glances while Takato stood back and watched dumbfounded. *Why isn't she with the others? Did something happen? Why didn't she acknowledge me? .WHAT'S GOING ON?* The last thought almost burst from his mind. He was worried about her since she was on her own again. She reminded him of the time when he first met her. He considered going after her to make sure she was alright, but he was also eager to see how everyone else was doing. And with that he turned around and continued in the direction he had been going.
***One Hour Later***
Takato seemed to arrive at the worst possible time. There was a massive argument going on. Kazu was saying something about finding Ryo and not backing down from what they meant to do, finding Calumon. Takato was glad that they hadn't abandon Calumon.yet. He realized Henry was yelling back saying something about getting as far away from the Devas as possible and avoiding combat at all costs. Guilmon had been moved behind a large slab so is that we was out of, what qualified as, the sun. Takato couldn't see him.
Takato **Wait a minute. When I first met Henry he wouldn't let Terriermon fight at all. But he got past that so why is he back to how he was before? And why is Kazu as reckless as ever, didn't he learn anything from Gardromon?** Takato stood puzzled.
He surveyed the argument. Both Henry and Kazu were unwilling to compromise in the slightest. Kenta seemed to be on Kazu's side though he was to timid to say anything while Jeri and Suzie were on Henry's side, also not saying anything. He waited for someone to take notice of him so he could ask a question but noone did. So he decided to speak up.
Takato "Umm. Hi everyone. What's going on?"
Suzie turned and for a moment Takato could've sworn she heard him. But then she turn back as if nothing happed. Noone else acknowledged him either. He was about to say something else but Henry cut him off screaming.
Henry "Your worst than that battleaxe Rika!"
Kazu "Don't you dare compare me to her. At least I'm not a total coward. Or someone who turns his back on his friends"
Jeri began to break down again after hearing that last sentence.
Henry "SHUT UP. If you really think more fighting is the answer then your on your own"
Henry turned around and addressed Jeri trying to comfort her while Kazu began storming off. "Let's go Kenta." Kenta looked confused but reluctantly followed Kazu. Neither of them seemed to take note of Takato running up to them.
Takato "What are you doing? You can't split up not after everything we've been through."
Kazu, Kenta, and Gardromon continued walking ignoring Takato's words
Takato "Come on we can settle this like rational people."
When he was ignored again he decided to make himself noticed and lunged out to grab Kazu's shoulder. He was more than a little surprised when his hand passed right through Kazu as if he were air and ended up stumbling and landing on his face. Kazu jolted a bit like when someone jumps out from behind a corner when you aren't expecting it and surprises you. He turned around, of course, not noticing he was standing IN Takato.
Kazu "Look Jeri, Henry, I'm sorry. But I'm not going to turn around after we've come this far. If you want to head back that's fine. Henry you've got your sister to look after too. Leave getting Calumon back to me and Gardromon. We'll be fine don't worry. Oh and Ryo and Cyberdramon if we find them." His word were said with the utmost sincerity.
Kazu grinned and turned back around with Kenta and Gardromon eyeing him suspiciously. He was never like that before. Why was he suddenly so thoughtful and considerate now.
Takato got up slowly and looked at his palms. The shock of what had happened was intense. He looked around seeing Jeri, Henry, and Suzie. They were looking beyond him at Kazu. "What the." No wonder he was ignored. He wasn't real. not to anyone else anyway. This startling revelation only made more questions for Takato. Was Guilmon also not real? Was Guilmon even alive? What happened? And most importantly.
**WHY DON'T I EXIST?**
He tuned his hands over and saw, for the second time his new Digital Hazard tattoos on the back of his hand. Only now they were glowing red. He didn't have enough time to think of another question as a loud beeping, that only he could hear, took him away from his thoughts. He took out his digivice. It had a red outline of the Digital Hazard symbol in the background and in the foreground it had words that read:
Level Gained!
Influence Level: 1
Digivolve Level: 0
Merge Level: 0
Hazard Level: 0
"This is going to be very interesting." Takato thought he looked up and saw Kazu and Kenta walking away. "Don't worry, everybody. I'm still watching over you."
