Disclaimer/Claimer: Do I even have to say it now?
Rika: "Last time on Brother of Fire, the lone Digidestined Alen found himself face to face with Tornadramon! Turns out she was the one who wanted his Spirit of Agunimon, Alen decided to give her a beating with that Evolution, but then she came up and took him out in a single blow and took the Agunimon Spirit! Now not only is Alen totally out of it but Mercurymon and Ranamon are taking him to see Charubimon, so much for the Warrior of Water being a good guy."

Digimon Brother of Fire
By TJ and Rikumon
Chapter Seven
Two to Tango
Darkness, that was the only word you could use to describe this place. It was a deep terra formed room with catacombs sprouting up through the floor, torches spread throughout the area brining little to no light as droplets of water fell to the ground letting their sounds of crashing to the floor echo throughout this place. Off by a farther wall a single being hung from his wrists by the iron chains that kept him from falling to the ground. His blue eyes were deprived of light themselfs, completely empty of life though he was still breathing. Alen Mikuro was inside the deepest dungeon of Charubimon's fortress, left their beaten, bruised but mostly damaged from his last fight, his spirit nearly lost completely. He had been left chained to this wall for nearly two days now, but it didn't matter because it was no worse then leaving a statue in his place.
Farther down from where the Digidestined hung limp, the sounds of a heavy door opening and slamming shut boomed though the room. Then slowly growing louder were the sounds of two sets of feet, the first was a hard clanking of metal meeting stone while the second were more silent and muffled as though there were no footwear to speak of. Soon the shadowed forms of the duo began to take shape in the light as Mercurymon and Ranamon came up to the expressionless human, the Metallic bodied Digimon gave a slight sneer as he gave the boy a shove with his heel making the human tumble lightly by his chains "The lad shill has not moved so much as a hair since brought here. Lord Charubimon shalt not be pleased with this."
The sea green female crossed her arms giving the dark green warrior a slight death glare "An Ah don't think he'd be to happy if ya'll bruise him up anymore then Tornadramon did. Afta all if he goes out that there Spirit of his could go out with him."
Mercurymon gave his companion a devilish smirk that he knew gave her some worries before taking off again down the hall waving his metallic arm to a small plate of bread that seemed to be a bit stale indicating it had been there for some time "Then perhaps he should consume some food to keep his body working Malady. I would suggests tho aid him with such."
"What! Why should Ah do it?!"
"Hmhmhm, because Lord Charubimon has sent myself and Arbormon orders to take care of some trivial matters that need to be attended to, while tho has no a mission to see to thineself. Till later Malady." with a last smirk to himself the Warrior of Steel seem to evaporate into nothing as he used his Shield to teleport himself to elsewhere leaving behind one blushing and angered Ranamon.
"Grrrr, that Rust bucket! If Ah ever get my hands on his neck...well if he even has a neck." Giving out a sigh Ranamon looked over to the goggle wearing boy seeming to frown a bit, even seemed a bit sad at how he looked "..guess that was going to happen sooner or latter, afta all ya were just one boy, a human...well you can Spirit Evolve, but that doesn't mean you were invincible, ya'll should have gone home..." Shaking her head she went over to the stale food bringing it over to the human starting to tear small bits off putting them in his mouth. "Ya just look so pathetic hanging here. If there's any bit of ya'll in there ya better be grateful for this cause I don't do this thing ya know!....Hmph, why should Ah care if ya eat or not.....why am Ah asking ya when you cant talk should be the question, Ranamon ol' gal ya'll starting to lose it." Groaning in aggravation while rubbing her far head the Warrior of Water started to walk off, but the slight rattling of chains from behind her caused her to whip around looking at the human, he swayed slightly but became motionless again. Ranamon looked on for a moment before slowly turning around heading out again 'Did he just try ta move?...'
A dark voice roared through the hallways and rooms of the Fortress as a chill seemed to shiver up the spines of all those who hear its call of the master of this place beaconed "My Warriors, come forth now!"
Ranamon quickly raced to the uppermost chamber getting on one knee bowing as Arbormon and Mercurymon came from where they were quickly mimicking Ranamon's action. Soon the shadowed figure of the Mega Celestial Digimon took shape and life as the cold yellow eyes glared down at the three Legendary Warriors.
"Has the human awakened yet?"
"Alas Milord the boy still has not regain consciousness. Methinks he shall be in such conditions for some time to come."
"Eha Lord Charubimon? Not to insinuate anything but don't ya think that Tornadramon should of gave the Spirit of Agunimon to ya by now, right?"
"As I have told you before Arbormon she is free to do as she sees fit. I shall retrieve the Human Spirit of Flames when it is time. But now I grow weary of waiting for this human to awaken. I shall be back in one hour, and when I return, destroy him and give me the Data."
Ranamon looked up in shock but managed to control her facial expressions in time before anyone noticed, at least she hope she did "Umm not that Ah have any rights to suggest anything Lord Charubimon, but what if that there Fractal Code gets destroyed with him?"
"That is why I ordered to do it when I return, if the chance of the Data being destroyed is true, I will download whatever is left of it when he is gone. Prepare him in one hour." With that the Mega Digimon vanished again leaving the three other Digimon to themselfs again.
The metal Warrior was first to reply as they got on their feet again "Perhaps our Lords patience is thinner then we thought. I still have matters to attend to however, so farewell my friends" and for the second time again he teleported from sight using his mirror as a port.
The wood based Digimon shrugged at Ranamon heading down the dark hallway "Eh sorry Ranamon, but I got things to handle myself right. I'll finish it up and get back ta helps ya with the brat right. See ya."
The Ocean dwelling Digimon started to clench her fists fuming "Wha..ah..Oooooooh! What am Ah suppose ta do in the mean time?!"
"Try getting the brat ready right."
Ranamon stood there glued to the spot hearing the last of the Warrior of Wood's footsteps drown away into the darkness. Soon she could feel her arms shaking a bit as she fumed off down the hall towards the dungeons frowning in aggravation "AH DON'T BELIEVE THIS! Ahm a Legendary Warrior not some order around sissy girl maid! Why am Ah the one who has to lug around the boy!"
Shoving the doors to the sides she continued to rant in anger at the situation. Soon she was fiddling with the humans chains still not paying attention to much around her, that is until after she finally removed Alen's binds and the lack of his own will caused his body to fall onto the ground sprawled like a rag doll. "Ooooh, and now this! What is the whole Digital World out to taunt me!?" the Digimon of the seas knelt down next to the orange haired boy starting to pull him up, however losing her grip she found herself looking at his now upright face gazing back to her with that same blank expression that she had seen for the past few days, just as the waves to the shore Ranamon felt something wash over her causing her to stop for the moment "....ya should have just gone home ta where ya belong.....Eh, what am Ah thinking! Its non of my concern if ya had to be so stupid!"
Ranamon crossed her arms looking away from Alen to emphasize her point, but a gentile beeping caught her aquatic ears bringing her attention back to the human. She searched his pockets finding the source of the sound in his D-Scanner, she turned it around a few times looking at its LCD screen that had a sort of target symbol upon it "What is..." as she finished the question, the symbol on the Scanner shot out shining across her far head for a brief moment, though it appeared to be no more then light the Warrior of Water leaned back some as though she had been hit physically. The split moment had ended and now the symbol vanished from the Electronic Device, Ranamon sat up straight again rubbing hear head gently as a strange tingling faded from her mind "Aggh, what was that?" Shaking the thought from her mind the ocean green warrior put the device back into Alen's pocket and heaved his left arm over her shoulder starting to lift and drag him along the corridors.
Time seemed to have slowed down for the Water based Digimon, each of her steps echoed throughout the halls lightly followed by the scratching sounds of the humans dragging feet. Ranamon's mind seem to be splitting into two different voices each sending barrages of memories at her, one were the early memories of when she had been awakened by Charubimon and the 'Examples' of all the Digimon that stood in his path. The others were of the very human she was currently bringing to his doom, soon the images started to collide with each other at faster rates and more recent times till finally the last memories of both halves came into a single one that happend just a while ago, her orders from the Celestial Digimon 'and when I return, destroy him and give me the Data' Ranamon stopped dead in her tracks looking to the floor in deep thought. She glanced at the nearly lifeless human at her side and closed her eyes briefly, when the opened again they were filled with burning determination as she lead the human away from the tower's stairway down to the river below "Ah may have deleted other Digimon and taken their Fractal Codes, but at least they could defend themselfs, Ah wont destroy someone who risked his own neck to save mines if he cant even fight back!"
"If I didn't hear it I wouldn't believe it, right!"
Ranamon froze right there, no more then three feet away from the liquid that she represented, her eyes widened in horror at that voice and its overused sentence ending 'right'. She turned around slowly staring at not only the Warrior of Wood, but of Metal as well. "Oh no..."
"Oh yes Milady, we where both doubtful to the tails that our ally Tornadramon doth told us, but it seems to be the truth. You have betrayed not only us, but Lord Charubimon!"
"Err can we talk about this?"
"Sure, lest talk right! Here's what I have to say, ROUND HOUSE PUNT!" the wooden warrior reared his arm back and threw a hard punch, his arm separated from the elbow join launching forward still connected to cable as it flew straight to Ranamon's head.
The female Warrior smirked as the water behind her shot up into twin geysers and blasted the attack's owner and his partner back and then encircled Ranamon and the human sending them skim through the water in breakneck speeds away from Charubimons Fort. 'Well, its official. Ah cant go back there, they'll send me to Fractal before Ah even say ouch....Alen, ya'll better give me a big thanks when you get back ta normal. Come ta think of it, what made me do that? Was it that light that Device o' his that made me do it?'
****End of Chapter Seven*****
Rika: "Well, looks like things could get a little better for this worlds Goggle Head. At least that Ranamon finally chose sides, but where will they go? And what did Mercurymon mean by Tornadramon telling them? AND WHEN THE HELL WILL THAT ALEN SNAP OUT OF IT!?!? Find out next time, you'll have to be here for the next chapter of Digimon, Brother of Fire!"
