A/N: *Mouth hangs open* Twelve reviews? I didn't expect this many..
(Katourimon: Some get four times that you know) Don't spoil the mood. This is the most reviews I've ever gotten for one chapter! Thank you to all that reviewed! At first I wasn't going to continue but I thought about it carefully and created a plot. Also, I found out that in episode 37 Takuya's head is on Izumi's lap. He looks like he just woken up or something. Strange since there has been not too much Takumi around the show. And also I can't tell if it's just a crazy fantasy Takuya's having or it's real. I'll post an update from Frontier once I see episode 35. MagnaGarurumon and KaiserGreymon's evolutions are amazing. Definitely worth to watch. Now.....enjoy!


Note: There might be some Junzumi in this.


Junpei's POV



I can't believe it. That goggle wearing, hotheaded kid was dead. The one who always got into arguments with everyone. The one who would always do things for the good of others. The one that so foolishly made a what he thought was full proof plan against Duskmon then vanishing to who knows where, was dead. I had to admit he was a bit of a mystery sometimes. I couldn't understand him at all. I have to admit he's changed and so have I. I don't complain about walking too much and am not obsessed with Izumi as much either. Although I do say she is the most beautiful, strongest girl I ever laid my eyes on.


Takuya. When I met him at first I didn't really give a care. I was too busy trying to get Izumi to like me. I dunno if I did get Izumi's affection though. I still have questions inside my head like: Why didn't Takuya get the power to Double-Spirit evolve? Why was only Kouji able to attempt it?


I looked down angry with confusion. My fists shook and I couldn't help it.
I always thought he would get out of conflicts like these, thick or thin. I guess I was wrong. I can't take it anymore. The anger inside me was boiling and needed to be unleashed. I turned to Bokomon with a hard glare.


"Why doesn't that stupid egg of yours work!?! Takuya's dead!" I screamed. Inside I felt extremely guilty for blaming Bokomon since it wasn't his fault. But I had to get that anger out somehow. I tend to do that I guess. I did it with Takuya when he made a plan to help the Kokuwagamon out. I was angry with jealousy because everyone got a spirit except for me. I guess I threw that anger at Takuya. I wish I didn't do that.


"Junpei!" shouted Izumi. She had tears in her eyes but she looked at me fiercely. "Don't blame Bokomon! It's not his fault...I-I," she murmured something which I couldn't understand.


"I'm sorry Izumi. I didn't know what I was saying," I apologized. It was a half lie. I knew what I was doing but I was sorry.
I was now wishing more than ever that I took that Trailmon to go home back then when we first came to the Digital World. I don't know why but I didn't go on there. It was as if some strange force was forcing me to stay.


Izumi said nothing. Instead she blinked a few times and the tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground. I couldn't stand seeing her like that. Takuya, why did you have to die!? If you beat that Seraphimon wannabe we all might have been a bit happier. You just had to die on us. I gritted my teeth in frustration. I was blaming others....again.


"Does that mean we are going to die?" asked Neemon. I turned to see Neemon's eyes were afraid. Okay, his eyes are closed but you could tell by the facial expression.


Bokomon snapped Neemon in the pants, a lot harder than should have been allowed.


"Of course not! We won't die..." Bokomon trailed off; his voice sounded unsure himself.


"I-I," managed Tomoki through choked tears. I turned again in the opposite direction to see Tomoki sitting on a rock, his body shaking badly. His tears were wetting his face and pants while he stared at his D-Scanner. I should have known. It was much harder on Tomoki than the rest of us. Takuya treated Tomoki like his little brother and protected him. It was like losing a family member for Tomoki. Poor guy... I kicked a small pebble. Everyone was suffering. Except Kouji. He crashed into the woods somewhere and probably had no idea that Takuya was dead. I wonder how he would react when we break the news to him.


"Kouji. He doesn't know about this. Does he?" I asked quietly. We all became very silent and one would feel like we suddenly was unable to make any sound of any sort.


Suddenly I saw something glow. It was the same sphere Takuya was killed in. Tomoki, Izumi, Bokomon, Neemon, and I lifted our heads to watch. BlackSeraphimon was moving around in a steady pace.


"Ah, warrior of flame is now killed. Pity it couldn't have been a longer sufferable torture," said BlackSeraphimon on the sphere's screen.


"Why that little-" I cursed. I stopped when BlackSeraphimon spoke again.


"I will not need Cherubimon anymore. With this power, and possibly more, I will conquer him and the Digital World," BlackSeraphimon said. He seem to be smiling. I couldn't tell since the helmet covered his entire face.


"He's going to..." whispered Izumi. Her eyes were wild with fear and she was clutching her hands together. "But how?"

"I want to kill that guy," I mumbled angrily. I couldn't help it. Isaw BlackSeraphimon was walking to the coffin opening the lid slowly.


"What's....what's he doing?" stuttered Izumi. She bit her lip and watched afraid.


"Warrior of flame," began BlackSeraphimon. I watched helplessly hoping BlackSeraphimon wasn't thinking of brutally hurting Takuya... Even though he was dead. Instead BlackSeraphimon took the D-Scanner from Takuya's pocket. "This- this will give me strength," he muttered.


The D-Scanner glowed scarlet and blinded the screen. When it dimmed everyone but Tomoki gasped. Tomoki only watched, silent as a ghost. The digi-code appeared and was sucked into BlackSeraphimon's body. A dark aurora glowed over BlackSeraphimon's body. I was the spirits Takuya had managed to capture and the digi-codes he scanned from the Digimon being all used to kill the Digital World. I had it.


"SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!!" I screamed. I felt the armor surround my body and as I changed my eyes grew bright with rage. "BLITZMON!!" I charged at the sphere and stopped to give a full blow. "THOR HAMMER!" I hit the sphere using my fists covered in electricity.


"Blitzmon! It's no use.." said Izumi.


I turned my head over my shoulder and replied, "This is better than doing nothing! At least I'm not just crying!" I stopped. I tried to apologize but too late. I really needed to learn how to control my anger.


"You're right," Izumi said. She fell to the ground and took out her D-Scanner. "But even with our attacks combined we still can't open the sphere."


"Izumi," I said. Under the humanoid creature's mask was my face. I didn't know what to say. She was right. I was being foolish. "I can never stop acting like a fool can I?" I muttered.


"Look out!" Bokomon cried. Suddenly red tentacles grabbed me and I felt myself being pulled into the sphere. I didn't bother to escape.


Suddenly Tomoki ran up and holding his D-Scanner. "Spirit Evolution!" He gave a loud scream as he transformed into a large white yeti. "Blizzarmon!" He used his long white furry braids and grabbed me. I felt myself in the middle of a tug-a-war.


"Don't," I said weakly. I was tightly wrapped with tentacles and furry ropes which were choking me. "Don't bother. I'm- I'm not worth it. I am always foolish and cannot control my anger which hurts others. I'm a terrible person."


Blizzarmon merely grunted and didn't reply. Izumi stayed in her position staring at her D-Scanner. She looked like she was fighting a battle in her mind and I gave her pity. I knew what she was thinking. She was trying to think of a way to help me.


"This is my fault," I coughed. I was losing my strength rapidly but I didn't care. I wasn't dying a noble way like Takuya did. I am dying a foolish way. Letting my anger control me I blindly attacked even though I knew it was hopeless. I was stupid. I reverted back to my old useless self.


Izumi immediately stood up.




"Don't! Never say something like that!" she yelled at me. I looked straight at her. "You will never say that again Junpei! Spirit Evolution!" Pink light enveloped her body as she changed into a cyborg bird. Sharp metallic talons and claws with two blue small wings folded out of her head. Two golden wings sprouted out of her back.


I couldn't help but smile slightly. She was always so beautiful and strong. I was probably the only one that noticed she liked Takuya. As they say, when two always fight..or, something like that. I wished it was me who stole her heart but it wasn't. She probably think I'm an idiot.


"Gilgamesh Slicer!" yelled Shutumon. On her claws and talons glowed lava coloured balls and she zoomed through the middle of the tug-a-war slicing it off. I was free but I didn't feel very happy.


"Please, Shutumon don't do this for me. I don't deserve it," I said. My voice was raspy and terribly dry. I dearly wished for a glass of water.


"Haven't I told you before? Stop saying things like that. You're my friend are you were right. We should've tried to help Takuya," Shutumon said. She turned her head over her shoulder and I saw sadness in her eyes. "I mean, he might be dead but we can still help him. We'll defeat that creep and win for him."


I shook my head. "No, you were right before. It's foolish. It has already been done so no use trying to save a dead person."


"Takuya's not dead," grunted Blizzarmon roughly. He cut the tentacles that were creeping towards Shutumon and me.


"What?" Shutumon and I asked in unison.


"He's not dead," Blizzarmon repeated. I noticed Blizzarmon wasn't talking too much so I stayed quiet. I once read a physiology book on grief. I dunno why. I was bored so I picked it up when my mom was in therphy and I had to wait. First stage of grief was: Denial. Blizzarmon, well, Tomoki was denying the fact Takuya was dead. Poor guy......


"Huh? Look!" shouted Bokomon. He was pointing a trembling finger at the top sphere. It started to glow brightly.


"BlackSeraphimon's going to steal the data!" Shutumon yelled. She lifted one arm. "Wind of Pain!" She lowered her arm and powerful gusts of wind hit the sphere.


Blizzarmon hit the sphere with his two axes. Suddenly Serfirotmon moved and the attacks hit a symbol (A/N: Oddly enough it has the same symbol as the crest of light) and the reflected back but straight at me.


"JUNPEI!!!!!! WATCH OUT!!!" yelled Shutumon and Blizzarmon in chorus.


I turned but it was too late. A blinding white flash covered my body. I opened my eyes to find myself in an empty whiteness.


"Where am I?" I asked. My voice echoed through the white space. I wondered if I died and went to heaven. Suddenly I heard a voice. A voice that echoed into the blank world.


"Junpei......" the voice sounded calm and relaxed. "You must not die. You have great power inside you. Use it."


"What about Takuya? How come he doesn't have great power?" I demanded. The possibly most strongest physically and mentally person out of their team was Takuya. "He's the strongest of our team."


"You must protect the others. The Digital World will die if you don't. Don't worry. Just DO IT!!" Before I could make out who was the speaker the white blank world was dimming back to reality. "Help them......"


I stood and looked down amazed. I was in my beast form. I felt a surge of strange power. A great feeling of warmth and comfort washed over me. "I must protect them.....I must help them........."

I lowered my head and a screen shifted up to show information of degrees or power. I felt power surging through my body as I yelled, "Field Destroyer!" It made good damage on the sphere giving enough space for each of us. We could pass through to stop BlackSeraphimon from consuming more data.


I smirked smugly at my achievement. Just don't go in over your head, I reminded my self. I changed back to my normal human form and faced the stunned two. Blizzarmon said nothing but looked merely curious and Shutumon was relieved but also curious.


Turning back to their own human forms they went up to me and Izumi asked what happened.


"I dunno really," I said sheepishly. "I was in a field of white and suddenly this voice told me, it told me to protect this world and you guys. It told me to just 'do it'. I felt a strange feeling and found myself attacking the sphere."


"Let's go inside," Tomoki said suddenly. His voice was stern and serious, a drastic difference from his usually perky self. "BlackSeraphimon is in there."


Izumi just nodded. I looked at her. She was hiding something. What was she hiding? Didn't she know she didn't have to hide anything from me?


"Alright," I finally agreed.







Inside the sphere BlackSeraphimon was looking at the now dead Chosen Child's D-Scanner carefully and laughed.


"Pity," he said. "I would have thought warrior of flame would have more data than this."


The D-Scanner glowed scarlet that second and stung BlackSeraphimon's clawed hand. He immediately dropped it hissing in anger.


"Shit," he cursed. He stared at the D-Scanner. A crimson aurora was glowing fiercely around it. In the small screen the symbol of fire was glowing brightly in the black background.
"What's this?" He stared at it curiously.




A/N: I'm finally finished! I also saw episode 35 of Frontier! Go to Frontier.net to download it if you haven't seen it. It's very good. I hope everyone liked this as much as my first chapter. Next POV, Tomoki's!


Although I never had a liking of Digimon yaoi couples I'm starting to like Takouji. I might write a fic on it someday. Who knows? I thought I'd never get this fanfic out but I did. ^^;; Please read and review! Your reviews were the ones that got me to do this chapter. Itsudemo Itsumademo, Dejimon! (Translation: Always Forever, Digimon!)
