Chapter one

It had been two years since Yolei left me for Davis. Wormmon and I had fled to the digital world, where I had gone to collect my thoughts. How could Yolei have done that to me? What had I done to her? Did she have no better reason to leave me than she had met somebody else?

I pondered this as we wondered through some wasteland we had come upon. I still relived that day in my head, over and over. Now, it seemed, I had never been meant to be with her, no matter how much I wanted to.

But, it seemed that she was happier. I had always known that my dark side, in fact, I think that the only real reason that she stayed with me was the fear that I would turn on her. When she found her love for Davis, She also found the courage to leave me; she knew that we weren't meant to be. Davis, he was her true love. But, what did that leave for me?

With this thought in mind, our endless march continued. Then, the ground began to tremble and the wind rose. My hair blew forward and the sky turned black. A hole seemed to open up in reality itself, and a boy with a Gotsumon came out.

The boy was small and scrawny with red hair. His eyes were also red, filled with fear and sorrow. Something horrible had happened to him, or perhaps he had done an awful thing. Maybe even both.

"My name," the boy said, "is Craig, and I'm responsible for all of your problems."
