Chapter One: Friend or Foe?

3rd Person

A medium sized digimon sat in the grass and watched the sunrise over the horizon. His blue fur and light blue spots shining in the light of the new day. His yellow hair and collar shining like the bright circle, which was the sun. His head lowered and his twin tails drooping in concern.

It had only been a day since he'd digivolved and he was still getting use to his new form. DemiBlack Jennimon had seemed a little distant today and he didn't quite understand why. He cared for her and wanted her to be safe and happy.

The two of them had been together since they where just eggs and had grown up together. They where good friends and wanted to keep things that way. It didn't matter that one was a virus type digimon and the other a vaccine. They had promised each other that they would always be together and both intended to keep that promise.

DemiBlack Jennimon

I watch him as I lie in the grass. He had no idea how I felt. He'd digivolved to his rookie form while I was still in my in-training from. A tiny fuchsia digimon with two little tails, dirty blue spots and dark blue hair along with deep, black eyes.

Ianumon hadn't even wanted to digivolve. He liked his in-training form of Demi Ianumon. As for me, I had wanted to digivolve for a long time. I felt so weak and useless. I'd trained so much and yet, Ianumon had digivolved before me even though he did no training what so ever.

I turned and walked away trying to hide the tears that where gently coming down my face. I was such a weakling; crying like a little baby. I'd have done anything for the power to digivolve to the next level and higher.

Ianumon

I watched as DemiBlack Jennimon walked away. I thought I saw tears in her eyes. I wanted to go and see what was wrong, but something told me I shouldn't bother her.

She'd always been self-conscious about her feelings. She always acted tuff, though I new her better than that. She was sweet and gentle. She might have been a virus type digimon, but she acted more like a data type.

I looked around for our food stash trying to remember where I'd hidden it. I looked at the tree we always slept under and smiled. I dug beside it and looked in the hole, but there was no food left. I called to DemiBlack Jennimon who was now sitting by the small river we always swam in.

"I'm going to go collect some food. You better stay here. I wouldn't want you to get hurt or anything," I smiled at her and headed out towards the forest to look for some edible food.

DemiBlack Jennimon

I couldn't believe he'd told me to stay in the field so I wouldn't get hurt. I was just as capable of collecting food as he was.

"I am not a baby. I can get my own food," I mumbled to myself as I walked in the opposite direction that Ianumon had gone and into the forest.

I had been collecting nuts and berries for about an hour when I heard a tree branch snap behind me. I turned quickly at the sound but saw nothing. I looked around and backed up a bit. I told myself I wasn't scared and that I was only being curious, but I knew that was a lie. I was scared out of my wits and shacking.

"Ianumon, this is not funny! Come out where I can see you! Please," I pleaded as I backed away some more. This wasn't something that Ianumon would do, but who else could it be?

Flame Leighomon

I followed the small fuchsia colored digimon into the forest. I watched as she collected food and put it into a small hand made basket. She was perfect. A bit weak but we could change that.

Suddenly there was a snap. I looked down and saw a broken twig that I had just stepped on. The small digimon looked in my direction and I ducked and hid behind an old log.

"Ianumon, this is not funny! Come out where I can see you! Please," She pleaded as I watched her backing up shaking like a cornered mouse. She was scared and was trying to make herself believe I was her pathetic little friend.

I stifled a laugh then slowly walked out of the bushes, with a fake, gentle smile on my face.

DemiBlack Jennimon

I quickly turned to see a figure come out of the bushes. It wasn't Ianumon. It was another digimon. He was like us though. Same fore footed figure with droopy ears, long tail, and a dog muzzle. He was a different colour though. He was black with blue and purple spots, and flame hair with one tail flaming at the tip. He had a scar on his right eye and I wondered to myself how he got it.

I tensed up and got ready to attack. Was this new digimon a friend or an enemy? "Who are you and why are you following me?" I yelled angrily. This digimon had made me look like a fool and I wasn't going to let him get away with it.

He looked at me with a cocky grin and said, "I'm very sorry to startle you little one," That made me mad.

"Black Bubble!" I yelled as I let out a black colored bubble from my mouth at the other digimon.

He brushed it aside with a simple breath and looked at me. "You know. We could make you stronger. More powerful than you could ever imagine,"

I looked at him eyes narrowed, "Who's we?" I said to him still shacking a bit.

"We are an elite digimon force. Each of us is stronger than any other digimon alive. We are unbeatable," He said putting out his paw for me to shake.

I just looked at him and said nothing. He put his paw back down and smiled at me.

Flame Leighomon

I put my paw down and looked at the small weak digimon, smiling "You can call me Flame Leighomon. I'm a Rookie virus digimon. My attack, Flame Tail, will blow you away. I am here to help you my friend," I said smiling. All this being nice made me sick to my stomach, but we needed more recruits and this was the only way to get them.

Her eyes narrowed and she stared at me angrily, "I'm not your friend, and I don't care who you are or who your friends are. I'm not going with you, nor am I letting you come to my home! Get Lost! Your not wanted here!" I had to admit, she put up a good front, but I wasn't fooled. She was afraid of me and what I might do to her, and that was just what I wanted.

I looked her over and shrugged as if I didn't even care if she came with me or not. Like I didn't need her, even though I knew I did. Our plans depended on us to bring back as many new recruits as we could.

"Ah, I see you do not wish to become strong. I will leave you then. I guess I couldn't even convince you of coming with me to visit my friends and train for the afternoon would I?" I said turning and walking away. That would do the trick. I hoped.

Ianumon

I got back to the field that DemiBlack Jennimon and me called home, and put the basket down and dropped the food in. I buried the food and I looked around for DemiBlack Jennimon, but she wasn't around.

"Where did she go?" I mumbled, "Jennimon! JENNIMON!" I called out, but there was no answer. Where could she have gone? Had she been attacked by evil digimon?

I franticly began to search around the area for any sign of where she had gone. Was she mad at me? What had I done? Was it because I told her not to come with me?

I was beginning to panic. I had a feeling it was my fault that she had left. I had upset her or hurt her feelings or something. If she got hurt or killed it would be all my fault. All my fault. Tears began to well up in my eyes and I sobbed and shook my head in guilt.

That's when I saw two figures come out of the forest on the other side of the field from where I'd gone looking for food.

It was DemiBlack Jennimon, and another digimon I didn't know. Who was this digimon with her?

DemiBlack Jennimon

What was the catch here? Why did this guy want to help me so badly? Was he as strong as he said or did he need me because he was in fact weaker then he said. I couldn't decide what to do. Though I wanted to be stronger I didn't want to get myself in over my head with this guy. He had said that I could go with him to meet his friends and train for the day, but where there any strings attached?

"I'll be on my way now. Farewell DemiBlack Jennimon and good luck to you." He said as he walked away.

I took one last look at him and made my decision, "WAIT!" I yelled, "I'll go with you, but first I need to tell my friend. This is only for the day though. Got it!"

He looked at me and smiled. "Very well. Lets go see your little friend then, and then we can head for my home where me and my friends dwell."

I nodded and we headed towards the field, which I called home.

Ianumon could be heard from the edge of the forest yelling my name, "Jennimon! JENNIMON!"

We walked out and he looked at me, and then at Flame Leighomon.

Flame Leighomon

Reeled in like a fish! HA! Little fool had taken the bait. She was going to come with me and then we would have her.

I looked at her and smiled, "Very well. Lets go see your little friend then, and then we can head for my home where me and my friends dwell."

She nodded and we headed towards the field that she called home.

Her little pathetic friend could be heard from the edge of the forest yelling her name, "Jennimon! JENNIMON!"

We walked out and he looked at her, and then at me. He didn't know who I was or why I was with his friend and he didn't seem to care much.

We reached him and he took a step towards me, "Who are you and why are you here?" He asked.

"I am Flame Leighomon. I am DemiBlack Jennimon's friend. Right Jennimon?" I said smiling sweetly at her. I felt like puking right there but I was able to keep my insides... inside.

"Umm? Whatever," She replied looking back at Ianumon, "I'm going to go and train with him for a bit. I'll be back before night fall."

Ianumon

"I am Flame Leighomon. I am DemiBlack Jennimon's friend. Right Jennimon?" The black digimon said smiling at DemiBlack Jennimon.

"Umm? Whatever," She replied looking back at me, "I'm going to go and train with him for a bit. I'll be back before night fall."

Did she even know this guy? He said he was her friend but she didn't seem to think so. I didn't like him one bit, and I let that show clearly.

"Jennimon? Why do you want to go train with this guy? You can train with me. It'll be fun," I pleaded.

"You don't take digivolving seriously enough. You don't mind being a low level, but I want to be strong. I don't want to live my life in your shadow, or in fear for my life. Don't worry. I'll be back," She said smiling at me.

"But Jennimon!" I pleaded. She just looked at me and smiled. Flame Leighomon grinned at me like he'd just won a bet or something.

And with that, they walked away leaving me all alone.
