"Nye!"

Nye stirred at the voice but didn't wake.

"Little brother, its time to wake up." another voice said, more closer then the other.

"Nye, wake up" A gentle shaking on his shoulder.

Crimson eyes blinked and opened. He looked up at the faces of his older brothers kneeling beside him. Two of them at his side, the other standing alittle ways away, a KendoGarurumon, by the name of Sky Storm sat next to him, its muzzle twitching slightly, a low growling coming from his throat.

Nye sat up, noting that his two brothers seemed a bit worried, and just as tired as he was. Thane, who was only two years older then him, was clutching the hilt of his sword as he stood. Thane and him were pretty close to one another. Thane had always had the instincts to take care of him, and protect him, even if he wasnt that much older. Then there was Raven, who was about eight years older then Nye. Shining silver armor that had been given to him by one of the elder Beowulfmon. The armor of the second born. He was more of the funny one of the four. But he wasnt exactly close to Nye like Thane was. He spent more time with blonde and black haired Kaden. The first born of the family, who proudly strutted around in his pitch black armor and Light Sword that had been given to him by their father. He never really had anything to do with Raven nor Thane, no mater how much they looked up to him. Nye on the other hand, never really liked him.

Kaden had a tendency to be a jerk most of the time. And was the one who had taught him how to fight, and how to use his powers. He was by far the best swordsman of their family. And the first in line as Master of Arms when their Father stepped down and let Kaden lead them.

Yes, Kaden was selected as the new leader. Which was why Nye was all the more jealous of him.
Truth was, Kaden spent more time with him then he did the others, but Nye had brushed it off as time Kaden wanted to annoy him. And provoke some kind of fight between them. Which had been happening a lot lately. And the pack noticed it day by day the rivalry the two had, that Thane and Raven did not.

Raven had no desire for the throne, though he was second born. Thane didn't really have the skills, and honestly didn't care what happened to the pack. Then there was Nye. The runt of the family. But only the runt because he was the last born.


Nye stood and brushed himself off and looked at his brothers. They were the only ones in sight, in the dank snow covered ground of the Mountain Territories, which were ruled by their father.

Their pack was on the other side of the jagged peaks covered by snow, where the sun was just now rising. A white ball of shining light, rays hitting the snow around them, lighting the snow like glitter.

They had come here the day before, and into the valleys below the Mountain Territory, to hunt. It was a tradition that did twice a year with each other, to bond with each other. Or so the pack thought. Nye only went to get his claws on Kaden, when no one was around to stop them.

But he hadn't gotten the chance to do so yet.

The carcasses of deer laid in a pile off to the side, the kind of deer that wasnt digimon, but was merely there to be hunted. They had been lucky this year, that so many animals had stayed around through the melting snow. So far Kaden was in the lead by six kills. Nye was second, but only because Thane and Raven had gladly stepped aside, not wanted to get in between of their egos. They knew it was dangerous to do so.

"Whats going on?" Nye asked as he noticed Thanes worried face more clearly.


"Thanes just being paranoid" Raven rolled his eyes. "You know how he is."

Thane glared at Raven, the side of his mouth twitching in annoyance. Nye smiled. Thane could be paranoid some times. Claimed he could sense that bad things were coming. He had acted like that when they were young, and they were used to his false paranoia.

Kaden crossed his arms and glared at him. Nye noticed this and glared back.
Today was their last day of hunting before they headed back. And the last chance for Nye to win their stupid competition.

Raven threw his arm around Thane and poked his shoulder with his other hand. "Me and Thane will stay here and watch the carcasses while you two hunt." He said with to much enthusiasm, that all three know we has making an excuse to stay behind. Raven poked Thane harder." That alright with you?"

Thane rolled his eyes. "Whatever"

Kaden smirked at this but never broke eye contact with Nye. "Guess its just me and you little brother." The smirk was mocking. And Nye knew it was a challenge.

He picked up his sword from the snow and walked after Kaden. Sky Storm trudged over by Raven and laid down. He too, not wanting to be apart of this.


The sun grew higher into the sky as Kaden and Nye silently stood hidden among a small grove of trees. Close by were a group of deer that were practically begging to be slaughtered.


Kaden had already self decided he would be the first to attack, and that Nye would flank them.
Though both agreed it would be a hell of a lot easier if the other two had come. And Sky Storm to back them up.

But unfortunately, they had refused to come.

Kaden shifted, ready to leap from their cover, when in one split second, Nye decided he was going to attack first. Sick of letting Kaden have all the glory. He leapt from his cover, as Kaden growled at him to stop. And he too leapt forward to stop him. The deer were startled at his voice, their ears perking up, some dashing for cover.

Kadens blood burned as he grabbed hold of Nyes waist and slammed him to the ground. "What the hell are you doing!?"

Nye growled and aimed a punch of Kadens face, then twisting over on his stomach as Kaden moved to pin him down. He threw his elbow up and jammed Kaden in the face and threw him off.

Sword were drawn. Kadens Energy light sword, also known as the Saber. A gift given down to all first born. The sword that had lead their pack to survival. That killed and protected their family. Nye's sword, a solid black blade with magical properties that could stand up to the Saber without being sliced in two.

Blades clashed and the sound echoed through out the canyons. The force of their blows knocked both to the ground, their swords dropped to the side. And Nye leapt on top of Kaden and punched him again. Anger and rage built up inside of him as his fist connected with Kadens face, and he punched again. Harder and sharper.

He hated Kaden for being first born. He hated Kaden for being loved by everyone. While his own existence was threatened to be banished from the pack as most runts were. Runts were seen as unfit. And slowed the pack down. There for most were exiled, and sent to live on their own. Most died, others were taken in by others packs. But it was unlikely.

Nye knew that day would come for him. His father hated him, as did others. And he hated Kaden for that.

He wanted to kill Kaden, to prove his worth. But he would still be last born. He would have to take out Raven and Thane as well. And he wouldn't do that. So had settle for given Kaden a beating he wouldn't forget.

Another hit and he was thrown back by Kaden. His spine crashing against a rock and pain shot through his body. Weight hit on top of him and a punch connected with his jaw. He couldn't force himself to move for a moment. The pain was too intense. Lightning quick movement and Kaden was back against the ground, Nye on top of him. Claws slashed at his face. And blood was drawn from both. Red dripped onto the pure white snow.

Kaden twisted his head to the side and caught sight of the Saber only a few feet away. Nye tried to gap his hand but it was too late. The blade was activated and brought up to his face.

The blade grazed the side of his face, burning and sizzling the skin. Blood dripped down his face and he was knocked to the side. Every inch of his body ached. And Kaden stood over him with the blade at his throat.

Kill me, he thought. Get it over with.


But Kaden just stood there. Is chest heaving in deep breaths, blood dripping for a slash at his neck, and blood from his nose.

Kill me, Nye begged silently. He was humiliated. And didn't want to show his face to the pack again. Kaden won. He couldn't beat his older brother no matter how hard he tried. Kaden had taught him to fight, and still he couldn't win. Tears threatened his eyes, but he forced himself not to cry. He wouldn't die crying.

Still, Kaden did nothing. His crimson eyes staring right at Nye for the longest time. Studying him closely as if trying to figure something out. But everything else about him was emotionless. He showed no anger or hate. If he did, he hid it very well.
Kaden was about to speak when the crush of snow was heard. And frantic pace of a four legged creature.

Sky Storm appeared from the cover of trees. And ran to Kadens side, his teeth clenching to armored fore arm and pulled at him. As if begging Kaden to follow him. Something was wrong.

Sky Storm turned and ran off in the direction of the mountains where now both noticed was smoke. Kaden followed, and Nye managed to push himself off the ground despite the pain.

If something happened to the pack, his death would have to wait.

Nye forced himself to stay at Kadens heals as they made a quick pace through the valley and over the mountains. Half jogging half running to keep up with Sky Storm.

The caught up with Raven and Thane halfway there. And made a mad dash over the sharp rocks at the top of the mountains.

Nye was just glad they survived that. When the made they way back down. They could see fire burning through out the trees. The snow was melted from the heat. And they could already smell blood. A huge black creature with metal like wings and armor stood among the fire. A Human was with it. No. . .

The brothers gasped at this. The Digimon Kaizer. They had heard storied of his being here in the digital word, but they didn't know if it was true. Now they knew it was.

Kaden and Sky storm were in the leader, Nye at his heals, Raven and Thane alittle behind.

The fire was no problem for them, for their armor protected them from burns. But the smoke was another thing. And Nyes vision was blurred from the gash on the side of his face.

Kaden was having alittle trouble as well. Their was a loud crash and a burning tree was flung in their path, and the black metal creature appeared through the burning flames. Ice blue eyes stormed in uncontrollable rage. A spiral down his left arm.

Nye and Kaden were too caught up in the smoke and confusion to see what exactly was going on. Due to their fight about an hour before. They were tired, bleeding and weak. But they could make out the armored forms of Raven and Thane leaping forward.

Nye tried to move btu found his way blocked from them by the tree. The flames were getting intense now and he could feel the heat sinking through his armor.

The creature let out a piercing cry as its long spiked tail flung out at Thane.

"Thane!" Was all Nye could hear from that point on. Thane hit the ground. A hole right through his stomach. Wide crimson eyes stared down, hands shaking.

Raven screamed again. But was silenced by the spiked tail as well.

Thane head slowly sank to the ground, his eyes rolling to the back of his head. And he was gone.

Raven slumped to the ground beside him, his hand clutching Thanes shoulder as he died.

Nye was frozen. Both of them were dead. He heard another thump and looked down. Kaden had fallen, his breathing labored. Either something had hit him ro he passed out from the smoke.

Nye did the only thing he could force himself to do. He jumped forward, ignoring the heat that passed through his armor. Through the flames and right at the creature. His sword in hand. He didn't think the creature had seen him coming, for him aimed for the back. The shining black blade sank into the creatures neck. And he could hear someone screaming orders.

The Digimon Kaizer stood on the back of a Devidramon, hovering over him.

The creatures tail flung out and curled around his waist. He could feel the spikes ripping through his armor, and pain. He was thrown to the ground And the last thing he saw was a armored clawed hand coming at his face and ripping the skin deeper from the Saber wound Kaden had given him. . .





I shot forward, his eyes snapping open. My heart beating faster then I ever imagined.

I laid in a bed, in physical form. In Koujis bed.

I rubbed my forehead. Gasping for air, I pulled the covers over myself and curled up in the bed, pulling the still sleeping Kouji against me.

My skin throbbed and I could barely move I was so frightened by this. The scar pounded on my forehead and I had a major headache. My vision was blurred and I smelling my brothers blood all around me.

It was just a dream. . . just a dream. . .
