"Sovereign, Antylamon and I have finished our rounds in this sector." Said the small, auburn haired woman as she and the massive ex-Deva kneeled before the massive dragon. "We report no trouble in the area besides a feud amongst a group of Gazimon."

"Good. Has there been any news from the other sectors?" Asked the clear dragon who hovered in the clouds above them with lightning coursing along his body.

"None, lord. However, Suzie and I came upon a piece of information that we think you should hear." Replied Suzie's partner as she rose to her feet, the human woman standing beside her also rising. "There have been rumors among some of the younger digimon of a shadow that is lurking throughout this sector, lord Azulongmon."

"What kind of a shadow? Is it a digimon or human?" Questioned Azulongmon as he descended down towards them so he could talk with them a little more personally.

"According to the information we have been receiving from the digimon living on the fringes of the Digital Desert, it is both a human and a digimon." Suzie answered as she climbed onto her partner's shoulder. "They say that it is a human man traveling with a digimon and that they keep annihilating ultimates for the data."

"A data seeker, hmm? Has there been any confirmed accounts of how many digimon have been destroyed yet or is it still an unknown number?"

"So far we know of seven ultimates that have been reduced to data then absorbed but nothing is for certain." Antylamon replied.

"Keep me updated." Azulongmon finished as he rose back into the clouds. "Meet here again in forty-eight hours."

"Yes, Sovereign." Answered the two in unison as they readied themselves to return to the real world for some rest before their next patrol in Baihumon's sector.

Exhausted from the tiring day of school, I sat down against the tree near where Blackguilmon and the others usually played. I was nearly flattened when the black digimon ran up to me and decide to greet me by pouncing on me. I grunted as Blackguilmon accidentally slammed into me with his full weight.

"Sorry, Takeidmon." He said, climbing off of me and standing up to his full height. "Mamamon wants us to go to the store and pick up some fishes for dinner." I smiled at how my partner attached mon to every human name he knew, giving that human a digimon's name. Mom said that it was one of the traits that both my father's partner and mine shared which made some sense to me. After all, everyone said I was the spitting image of my dad so why wouldn't my digimon be like his?

"Hey Takeid! We leavin' this dump or not?" Called Barret as he and Matt emerged from the front doors of our school, their rookie-leveled partners, Barret's Deiomon and Matt's Cystemon, running up to greet them.

"You ready to go Blackguilmon?" I asked my friend as I stood up from the ground and brushed off my baggy jean shorts and green plaid button-up shirt.

"Yes! Bread store, here we come!" He answered merrily, patiently waiting for the time when he would be able to eat a behemoth amount of bread from my grandparent's bread shop.

'Let's just hope what happened last time doesn't happen this time...' I thought silently as we walked over to Barret, Matt and their digimon. The memory of that last trip to the bread shop still brought back a smile to my face but not to the woman who nearly had a nervous breakdown. Blackguilmon and I had gone into the shop and decided to help grandpa and grandma cook the bread for a while but we both got covered in flour when a bag broke over us. A customer walked in at that moment and, because she had seen my dad and Guilmon, thought that we were ghosts. That sent her into a fit of hysteria that ended up with her seeing a shrink for about six months. I guess it was understandable though because I'm fourteen now and, although I don't think so, everyone says that I am almost a clone of my dad besides the clothes.

"So I was thinkin'-"Barret said.

"Are you okay?! Did it hurt you?! Someone get a doctor, quick!" Matt exclaimed loudly before bursting into a fit of laughter that even Barret eventually joined in on.

"You've gotten better, I'll give you that." He said before continuing with what he was about to say before Matt shut him up quickly. "Now like I was sayin', I was thinkin' that maybe we should do something next week, something big because of how long we have for break."

"Good idea but what? We've got four weeks off starting Saturday so there are plenty of options, you know?" Matt replied as his machine type partner sat down on his shoulder.

"Well uh...eheheheh...I haven't really thought that far ahead yet. Momentai."

"Momentai? Why do you always use that saying as a cop out when you're going to look stupid?"

"Hey I got it! Let's go to the digital world for a week!" I shouted out, not intending for my voice to be so loud but it came out as nearly a yell.

"Hmm...it might work..." Barret said, scratching his head as he thought about the idea. "Yeah! Mom and dad should be willing to let us go cause we haven't been there since the last time we had to go with mom to put flowers on Leomon's grave so if mom and dad say yes, we'll have a whole week without a chaperone!"

"I'll go ahead and ask mom about it tonight and you two ask your folks. With any luck, we'll be in the digital world next week!" I replied happily.

We talked about what adventures we might have in the digital world for the next ten minutes while we walked onward, Blackguilmon and Deiomon playing tag while Cystemon rested on Matt's shoulder. As soon as we reached the intersection to the street I needed to get on to get to the store, I waved them both goodbye and began walking towards my grandparent's bread shop with Blackguilmon.

A few minutes later, we reached the small bread shop, my partner's mouth instantly watering as he smelled freshly baked bread inside.

"FOOD!" He said as he rushed into the kitchen.

"Wait! We can't go in like that, you don't know if that's for sale yet." I told him as I quickly grabbed hold of him to push him back away from the mound of fresh bread that was sitting on the kitchen counter. "Grandpa! Grandma! It's me!"

"Is that my favorite grandson I hear?" Asked Grandpa Matsuda as he stepped in from the alley where he had been taking care of the trash.

"Good to know I'm number one on a one person list." I answered with a smile. Meanwhile, Blackguilmon continued eyeing the small mountain of bread, patiently waiting for an okay to devour the whole pile.

"Don't worry, boy. Have all you want." Grandpa told him, instantly making a huge smile rise to my partner's face as he rushed into the kitchen, intent on eating every piece of bread there. "Good to see that he hasn't lost his appetite."

"Honey, who is it?" Called my grandma from the storefront of the building as she continued her work at the register. After all it was their busiest time of the day.

"It's Takeid, dear!" Grandpa answered nicely. "How are you doing, Takeid? Is everybody treating you good?"

"Everything's fine, grandpa. How's the bread business?"

"Just like a good loaf, it always seems to rise." This brought a good chuckle from me that he joined in on a moment later. I always liked how grandpa compared life to bread because he always seemed to have a good outlook on his life. "How is your mother?"

"Mom's doing good." I said, lying because I didn't want to have to remind Grandpa of his son's death. "Barret, Matt, and I are planning on asking all of our folks tonight if we can go to the digital world next week because it's a break."

If he could tell I was lying, he didn't let on that he knew anything. "That sounds like it'll be fun."

"I'm just hoping mom says yes."

"Hmm...I think I know why you came here today." He said, gesturing with his thumb to the black dinosaur that was simply stuffing himself with a massive load of bread. I nodded with a smile; Blackguilmon's eating habits were always humorous except to whoever had to pay his bill. "I'll give you a full pack for him tonight then."

"Thanks, grandpa." I answered.

"Phane coo, gwahndmon!" My partner called from the kitchen, his mouth full of bread.

"No problem, Blackguilmon." Grandpa replied as he walked over to him and scratched his head behind the ears. Blackguilmon always loved it when people scratched him.

Five minutes later, we left the store after saying hi to grandma and loading up a bag full of bread for my partner to feast on later. It was getting close to five o'clock right now and the sun was beginning to sink on the horizon, headed for the other side of the world. Mom would be expecting us in about an hour and I still had to grab some fish for dinner so I quickened my pace towards the market. All of the sudden, my digivice began beeping, the signal that a bio-emergence was taking place somewhere in the city. The tracking device built into it showed that it was somewhere east of where we were right now.

"Time to go to work, boy!" I said to him. He nodded and we broke into a dead run, headed for Shinjuku park because of where the signal was pointing. In less than four minutes, we reached the park and the bio- emerged digimon showed up on my radar in the direction of the stone building the original Guilmon lived in.

The fog that always appeared at a bio-emergence had already descended down upon the forest, making it harder to find the digimon that had come through. We were close to him now; the radar in my digivice was going crazy to tell us that we neared our target. One thing was for sure though; he was not in Guilmon's old hideout.

"Twin Sickles!" Shouted a voice from above us as the owner of that voice launched two energy waves at my partner and I. We ducked just in time to see a pair of red energy blades shoot past us and slice through a few trees a little further away in the park. In the sky, the digimon who had attacked us descended through the fog and into our range of vision.

I quickly checked his information as Blackguilmon began running towards where it looked like he would land. "Snimon, a vaccine insect-type digimon. Champion level. His special attack is twin sickles." I read aloud so Blackguilmon could hear the information. My partner nodded with a smile as he realized what it meant in terms of an attack strategy.

"Dragon's Tail!" My partner cried out, leaping into the air and spinning around like Terriermon did. He slammed his tail into Snimon's face, sending the insect back in the air a few feet and putting a massive bruise on the left side of its face.

Snimon growled loudly in pain as he rushed down at my partner in the hopes of slamming into him. Blackguilmon easily avoided the charge and dodged the insect digimon, laughing as he accidentally slammed into a line of trees at the edge of the clearing where they were fighting.

"Blackguilmon! Stop playing around and send him home!" I called out, not caring to mess around with the wild one anymore. Blackguilmon nodded, his face becoming serious again as he ran towards the area Snimon had crashed in.

"Dark Side Flames!" My partner shouted, a sphere of violet fire forming in his fanged mouth. The sphere rocketed out at Snimon and slammed into his chest with full force, creating a hole right through the center of it. Snimon burst into data immediately.'

Because it was not right to just kill digimon for their data, Blackguilmon and I had made an agreement that he could only absorb a third of the digimon he destroyed. Since he had been allowed to absorb the digimon prior to Snimon, the data left behind by the champion simply dissipated into the air and returned to the Digital World.

"Good job, Guil!" I said as he ran back to me. He smiled; happy that he had made me proud but even if he had failed at his rookie stage, there was no way we could have lost. After all, it was impossible for a champion to beat a mega and since Blackguilmon and I had been able to bio-merge for three years now, that power was always at our disposal.

"Takeidmon, can I have some bread right now?" He asked me, casting longing glances at my backpack.

"Sure thing, boy." I replied as I handed him a loaf, scratching his ears before I realized that something was not right. "I FORGOT TO GET THE FISH!" We ran off immediately, hoping to get the meal before it got too late and mom began wondering where we were.

~*~*~

The ultimate in front of them burst into data and was quickly absorbed by the man's digimon partner. The man smiled; a little more data then they would be able to return to the real world and to the life he had missed out on for too long. It did not matter to him that he was slaughtering innocent digimon for the sole purpose of absorbing their data; his only thought was finally returning home.

"Hazard? Do you think they still remember us?" Asked his partner as he and the man sat down on the grass beneath them.

"I don't know." Hazard replied, patting his partner's head. "I hope so and I'm pretty sure that they do but nothing's certain anymore. After all, it has been fifteen years..."
