Shadow-Assassin: *Is sitting down by the giant sign she made on the wall of china*

Venom Tanyamon: Hi there Shadow-Assassin. Why aren't you dancing any more?

Shadow-Assassin: No one likes my dancing! WHAA! *Sob Sob*

Venom Tanyamon: Oh, I see. Well then… Hmmm…

Shadow-Assassin: Here hold this for me. *Passes Tanyamon a side of a curled up blanket and unravels it to show a pattern saying "I do not own Digimon! Please don't sue me!"*

Venom Tanyamon: You sure are careful…

Shadow-Assassin: I need to keep what little money I have.

Venom Tanyamon: Ok then… Wait a minute! What does that do to our pay?!

Shadow-Assassin: Nothing. I don't pay you, remember?

Venom Tanyamon: Well you should. Maybe I should quite right here right now! *Walks away*

Shadow-Assassin: WAIT!!!!

Chapter 4: The Last Good-bye

3rd Person

It was late in the morning when Ianumon first awoke. The others where still fast asleep. He looked at Black Jennimon and smiled. She 'd finally got what she'd wanted. He felt sad, however, that it was not him who'd helped her reach her goal. He'd always thought that it would forever be just the two of them, but things changed.

He looked over at the other two digimon and scowled. He couldn't shake the feeling that these two digimon where trouble. He knew they must be after something but he couldn't figure out what it could be. As he watched the two of them he saw Flame Leighomon stir and finally open one eye, then the other. Flame Leighomon looked around and stretched with a yawn.

He looked over a Ianumon and wondered how such a weak digimon had digivolved before a stronger one like Black Jennimon. Vaccine digimon where all the same. Weak willed, and too kind for their own good. They always put the well-being of others before their own. He, like all virus digimon, looked out for only himself. He had no need for friends, no need for love or kindness. All he cared about was taking care of himself and getting the power he so richly deserved.

Ever since he was a young digimon he knew he was destined for something great. He and his sister Chaos Leighamon would constantly spar with each other getting constantly stronger. He knew his sister was stronger then he was as well as smarter. She had the ability to see into the future with her seer abilities. With that she foresaw that one day she and him would ban together with several other digimon like themselves and take over the whole digital world.

Ianumon glared at him and turned away walking over to wake the still sleeping Black Jennimon. She looked so peaceful lying there and he didn't really want to wake her, but there was no good in sleeping the day away.

Flame couldn't take it any more. He had to say something. So that's what he did, "I don't see why you would actually care for a virus type digimon." Flame Leighomon said looking at Ianumon.

Ianumon stopped and looked at him, "She's my friend and we've been together since we where digieggs. That's why."

"I think I'm beginning to understand why she stays with you... she pities you for your weakness." Flame laughed with a smirk.

Ianumon glared at him, "Take that back," He said with silent venom.

"Why? It's the truth. Not self respecting Virus digimon would hang out with a weakling Vaccine digimon unless they where either using them or felt sorry for them. If she doesn't pity you then maybe she is using you then?" Flame laughed again.

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Ianumon yelled as he jumped at Flame.

Black Jennimon

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Ianumon yelled.

I blinked in confusion and looked around. I saw Ianumon jump at Flame Leighomon and knock him to the ground with a heart wrenching "THUD!".

"STOP IT!" I yelled to him.

He looked at me in surprise and his face turned from anger to shame. Why would he hurt Flame like that?

"Ianumon, how could you. Flame is my friend, how could you hurt him?" I said looking from one to the other. I ran over to Flame and helped him up. Tanyamon came over to see what was going on.

"Flame are you Ok?" She asked surprised.

"Jen... Jennimon I'm..." Ianumon began.

"SAVE IT!" I yelled.

Ianumon was close to tears and I could clearly see that he was sorry. I remembered what Chaos Leighamon had said. What this it? He'd hurt my friend and in turn hurt me, but was this what she'd meant? I looked at Ianumon and back at Flame.

"I'm Ok Black Jennimon. It's Ok. He just got a bit mad thats all. It's not his fault he's jealous." Flame said shaking himself off.

"That is it isn't it Ianumon. Your jealous that I have found new friends. So you where trying to get rid of them." I said.

"No... I.... No thats not it. I swear Jennimon," He pleaded, "He said you only stayed with me because..."

"Oh just admit it pretty boy!" Tanyamon said angrily cutting Ianumon off.

Ianumon backed away tears welling up in his eyes and he ran towards the river and lied there crying. I felt the anger inside of me but I didn't know how to fix this situation. I remembered something else Chaos Leighamon has said. Leave him... she'd told me to leave him. Maybe that was what I should do. I was so confused. Why would he hurt Flame. Was he truly jealous of my new friends? Would leaving really help the situation? The more I thought about it the larger the anger inside me became. It kept telling me to leave and never come back, but Ianumon was my friend. How could I leave him? I looked at him and the anger became stronger once more. I couldn't stay or I'd just hate him even more until I did hurt him like Chaos Leighamon had said.

I walked over to Venom Tanyamon and Flame Leighomon. They looked back at me.

"I'm going to go back with you. I can't stay here any longer." I said sadly.

"Ok." Tanyamon said as she nuzzled me reassuringly.

Venom Tanyamon

"Ok." I said nuzzling her. I felt like I was going to be sick right there, but I couldn't show it. She was almost ours.

"Do you need us to help Black Jennimon?" Flame asked.

"No. I can do this on my own." She said as she walked away towards Ianumon.

"She is so ours!" I beamed at Flame.

"Little fool!" Flame smiled.

The evil had finally gotten to her. She was too strong now to avoid it's effects. She was becoming as evil and heartless as us. With her help we would become the rulers of the digital world, and weaklings like her little friend would grovel at our feet.

We'd all been weak in-training digimon before we met up with Chaos Leighamon. She was a strong digimon and her abilities to see into the future where remarkable. She'd told us that with our help we could all become the strongest digimon in the world. She said that we would be strong enough to rule the whole digital world and we believed her. After all, she'd never given us a reason not to.

All I really wanted was to be strong enough to step all over those who had or would have stepped on me when I was a smaller weaker digimon.

I could remember being beaten up by all the larger digimon. How they would torment me by calling me names and calling me weak and then hurt me badly then leave me all alone. I didn't like being alone, but now with the help of Chaos Leighamon I wouldn't have to worry about that anymore. I'd found where I belonged and I liked it.

Ianumon

Black Jennimon approached me and I whipped my tears with my paw. I didn't understand why she couldn't see through them. Why she couldn't see that they where dangerous... perhaps even evil. I wanted to explain it to her but she wouldn't listen.

She looked at me sadly and I though there might be a ray of hope, but I was wrong.

"Ianumon... I'm sorry, but... I have to leave." She said.

I tried to hold back the tears, but they came anyway. I knew what she meant. She was leaving me... for good.

"Why? You can't go with them Jenni..." I started.

"Ianumon. You might not like them but they are my friends. I'm sorry, but I can't live in your shadow any longer. I can't stay here. I'm going to go back with them." I looked at her but she looked away.

"NO!" I yelled shaking, "You can't leave! Please Jennimon don't leave me. I care about you..." I whimpered.

Flame and Tanyamon came to see if everything was Ok. She nodded to them and they began to walk away.

"Black Jennimon, no please. You don't understand." I sobbed.

I looked at Flame Leighomon and Venom Tanyamon. It was all their fault. They had made her believe I wasn't her friend anymore. I couldn't let her go. She was the only friend I'd ever had and I wasn't going to loose her to these evil digimon.

"Blue Beam!" I shouted as I shot a beam of bright blue light from my mouth. Black Jennimon gaped in horror as Flame Leighomon fell to the ground.

"Look what you've done! How could you!" She yelled as she nudged Flame Leighomon to get up. He didn't get up. I could see that he wasn't that hurt, but he was doing a good job of making Jennimon believe he was.

Venom Tanyamon looked at me astonished.

"You hurt my friend! You'll pay for that!" She growled at me, "Venom Sting!" She shouted as she slashed at me with her sharp claws.

I tried to get out of the way but couldn't. She hit me in the side and I fell to the ground and began to bleed. I got back up quickly and growled at her as my eyes began to glow a bright light blue.

"Blue Claw!" I shouted as I slashed at her in fury.

She jumped up and kicked me into the dirt with her back paws as she did so landing safely back on the ground.

"Venom Blast!" She shouted as she spit a sticky, green liquid out of her mouth.

The liquid splashed me in the eyes and I was blinded. I fell to the ground in pain, whimpering.

"Jennimon please... Don't leave." I pleaded for the last time.

Flame Leighomon

I got up slowly and looked over at Venom Tanyamon who'd now blinded the weak Ianumon. He was on the ground whimpering like the little lap dog he was. Black Jennimon was at my side watching the fight. I was surprised that she cared so much that she'd actually let Ianumon get hurt because he'd hurt me.

I smiled at her and walked up to the injured Ianumon smirking.

"That will teach you to mess with the best." I whispered to him before hitting him hard in the head and knocking him out cold.

"Flame!" Black Jennimon scolded.

"Sorry Black Jennimon. I guess the anger got to me. Please forgive me." I fake pleaded. She was so easy to manipulate. I couldn't believe how foolish and complete dense she really was, but perhaps she was blinded by the evil that now over came her. When a virus digimon digivolves the evil inside them grows. It also shrinks as you

De-digivolve.

Tanyamon looked at me with fake concern, "Are you Ok Flame?" She asked trying not to laugh.

"Ya, I'm Ok. how about you?" A replied.

"Find and dandy," She replied smiling, "Shall we get out of here? Before he wakes up and we have to hurt him any more. I don't want to hurt the poor guy any more then we have."

I thought I was going no start laughing Hysterically but I held it in. Venom Tanyamon was getting better at this all the time.

Then I saw Black Jennimon walk over to where her unconscious friend lay and nuzzled him. A tear falling down her cheek. Perhaps the evil hadn't gotten her fully yet.

"I'm sorry my friend, but this is just how it has to be. I never meant to hurt you." She said as she turned to us and walked past heading towards the cave that she would now call home.
