Well hello! This is my second chapter to the story. It might seem quite fast since it was just yesterday when I posted the first chapter. However, I had this story in my head since last year so now all I have to do is type it down.

Disclaimer: I do not own digimon or anything related to it. However, I do own the character Helios and his digivice, the D-merger. Don't sue me as I am very poor.

Chapter 2: The Flaming Valley Where Partners Meet

When Helios opened his eyes, he found out that he no longer was in the tropical haven. He was in a somewhat barren land. As he looked around, he could see a lot of mountains. Not only that, he could see fire leaping out of it.

Helios-wry smile- ' Great. One minute I am in tropical jungle and the next minute I am in the Volcano Haven. Makes me wonder what I have done to deserve this. Oh yeah. I know what I have done. I agree to that stupid two headed turtle that I would so call liberate the viral digimon.'

Deciding that it was useless to stand and stare at the surroundings liked a fool, Helios decided to explore this queer land a little. It was then that he heard whipping sounds coming from not far away. Overcome by curiosity, Helios decided to move in the direction of the sound. However, he was not prepared to see what he saw when he arrived in the originating place of the whipping sound.

He saw a strange looking orange color lizard of small size whipping at some frog looking creature. The orange lizard was screaming at the green frog lookalikes and was constantly whipping them. When Helios saw this scene, it reminded him of something that he had forgotten. Something that had happen when he was young……

-Flashback-

A young boy of age six was surrounded by a bunch of kids that were of about the same age. The young boy was dressed in rags and he was covered with dirt. The kids that were surrounding him were beating him up. Unlike the boy, the kids wore clothes of great value. They were clean but they all had the look of spoiled brats. A blond boy was looking at all this with a sadistic smile on his face. However, you could see clearly that the boy had two teeth missing and that he had a black eye.

Kid 1 " Well Helios. Now you know you shouldn't mess with Louise! Poor and stupid kids like you deserve this beating!"

Kid 2 " I cannot agree more to that statement more. Hey boss! Do you think we should continue beating him up?"

The blond boy known as Louise gave a mock smile of empathy at Helios. He shook his head and gave a hand sign. His four accomplices grinned at that. They hold Helios down by grabbing onto each of his limbs and forced him down onto the floor. Helios was looking at Louise with a look of pure hatred and anger. If looks could kill, Louise would have been dead for around fifty times. Louise was fazed at that look. His face changed from a mock smile to pure terror as he looked into Helios's eyes. Frantically, he kicked Helios in the face to try to escape from his gaze. However, it was useless as Helios kept on looking at him with the same eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Louise-kicking- " Stop looking at me with those eyes you idiot! I will stop kicking you if you would apologize to me!"

Helios-glaring at Louise with the same eyes- " Go to hell, you spoiled piece of crap."

The beating remained on till a few minutes later. Louise together with his four accomplices walked away. However, they did not have a look of satisfaction they always have after beating other kids. However, they had a look that seemed to say that they had seen a ghost. Those eyes of Helios had spooked and freaked them out. It made them fear him even though they had beaten him up very badly.

Helios was using the walls to support himself up. That stupid kid Louise had brought his older friends to beat him up. He was not surprised at that. Louise always had little guts. He would cry like a girl or asks older guys to help him out in his revenge. Wiping the blood off his face, Helios gave a smile that no innocent young child should have. He was not bothered by the fact that he was beaten up badly. He still lived and lived with pride. He took his beating liked a man. He could be proud of that. Unknown to even himself, he had sowed the seeds of hatred to people who beat up others in such a manner.

-End Flashback-

When Helios had finally snapped out of his own recapping of his past. He found himself standing at a different position from before. He looked around and saw the frog like things looking at him. Those eyes were filled with fear, curiosity and sense of gratefulness towards him.

Helios " Why are you all looking at me with those eyes?" ' Weird. I swear that sounds damn familiar.'

The five frog things looked at him with the same eyes. Then, one of them stepped out and pointed with one of its legs at the ground in a few meters in front of Helios. Helios saw the orange lizard lying on the ground unconscious. The whip that the lizard was using had been broken up into many pieces. That's right. Pieces.

Helios ' Whatever happened here, it seemed like hell…… Hmm, I guess I might be the one that did that. If not, why the hell are they looking at me like that?' " Are you telling me that I was the one who did that?"

All the frog things nodded their head at the same time. Helios could not help but smack his head with his hand. It must be that during his recapping, his body moved without him knowing it himself. He was not surprised however as his body liked to move on his own without himself knowing it. However, it only happen when he was in rage. He could not remember anything that would made him mad easily……. Well, expect for one small thing that is.

Helios ' I must be angrier then I thought when I saw those frogs being pushed around…… Damn, did I really beat that stupid lizard up? Great. I am now having trouble remembering stuff as well.'

Forcing himself to remember the events of beating up the orange lizard, Helios slowly managed to recap what had happened and he simply had trouble believing it. He actually caught the whip the lizard was holding just now right before it hit the frogs. Then, he saw himself tore the whip into pieces and even gave the lizard a good punch and it knocked the lizard out. Then, he saw the frogs held onto his black coat and tugged at it. He gave a sigh and turned his attention to the frogs.

Frog lookalike " Umm……. Thank you for saving us. We are called Betamon and we are all very grateful that you saved us."

Helios " ……"

Betamon-afraid- " Is… is there something we have done wrong?"

Helios-rising an eyebrow- " No." ' They can even talk. Well, I am not surprise as that stupid turtle did as well. But…… why are they looking so afraid at me for? It is not like I am going to hurt them.'

Betamon 2-whispher- " Do you think he will treat as like those kids do?"

Betamon-whisper- " I guess not. He would not even consider saving us if he was with those kids."

Betamon 3 -whisper- " But he don't look very friendly to me……"

Betamon -whisper- " Don't judge a book by its cover my brothers." ' Even though they are quite right. This man gives me the creeps.'

Helios " If you have something to say, say it in front of my face."

Betamon- cowers in fear- " N……no. I do not have anything to say."

Helios ' Yeah right. I am a fool to believe you.' " Anyway, do you know anywhere safe that we can go? The lizard there is going to wake up. I don't know about you, but I am sure that I don't want to hang around when that happens."

Betamon " You can follow us to our village if you want to."

Betamon 2-whispher- " Are you crazy brother? He might delete us all! You see what he did to that Agumon."

The rest of the Betamon just nodded their heads. The eldest Betamon gave a little sigh. His brothers were all very wary of strangers especially human. They had already caused many harms to them and their hometown. Well, so was he but somehow, he was very sure that this man in front of him is very different from those kids. He gave the others a look that signals the end of the conversation.

Betamon " Please, follow us."

Helios simply shrugged his shoulders and follows the leading Betamon. The other Betamons were eyeing him suspiciously and he did not know why. However, he did not care much about it. He was not afraid of any trap that might be laid for him. He did not know why, but he just trusts that Betamon. It was a surprise to him at how easily he trusts the thing in front of him. After all, he had been depending on himself for ten years in total. Something just made him trust that Betamon. Thus, he followed it closely as to not to get lost. He also scanned the area to make a mental map.

No conversation was made between the Betamons and himself. Other then the leading Betamon, all the others seemed to be wary of him. Why he did not know but he did not bothered about it anyway. It was their problem, not his. As he walked, Helios felt the heat in the surrounding air reduced drastically. It was becoming cooler and cooler and Helios was amused by the weird weather change in this world.

After trekking over a mountain, Helios saw a place that looked like a village. However, smoke was rising from it and he could hear the sounds of crying and fighting. The crying sounds like a baby that was crying.

Helios ' What the hell? I thought baby is suppose to be absent in this digital world? And why the hell are those Betamons looking so angry and worried? Damn! I am stupid! That must be their village. Who are the morons that are attacking it?'

Before Helios could ask the Betamons, they were rushing towards the village at their fastest speed that they could reach. They looked pathetic as they were like hopping around and their speed was only a little different from before. They were only a little faster. Helios followed them in a walking pace. He could overtake them by walking briskly but he did not. As it was obviously not his problem, he took no hurry in walking. However, that changed when he saw what was happening.

The orange lizard he saw earlier was back. Well not really as they were many of them. There were at least ten of them. He also saw pink-feathered birds of puny size. There were ten of them as well. What they were doing however, angered Helios. They were attacking some black colored balls. He could hear them crying out in pain and they were crying as well. Not only that, those birds and lizards were also attacking light pink-colored balls with two long, curly feelers. They were burning down what looked like houses to those digimons as well.

Helios might not be considered as a good man. He fights constantly and would rob only rich men to survive in the streets. However, there was always one thing that he had hated and it was the strong bullying the weak. It might be because that was what had always happened to him during his childhood, he did not want others to go through that same crap. Although this landed him into many troubles, he never regretted his actions. Seeing those lizards and birds bullying and attacking with intent to kill those digimon that cannot fight back had angered him greatly. The fact that they were destroying their homes further escalated his anger. He grabbed the four Betamons and tosses them over his broad shoulders. He started running towards the village.

Betamon " Throw us over there! We would be able to hurt those guys with our attacks!"

Helios " Can you kill them with your attacks in one swift hit?"

Betamon 2 " Kill them?"

Betamon 4 " I think he means deleting them."

Helios " Well?"

Betamon 3 " No. But we might……"

Helios " If it is not possible, then no way. No use sending all of you to death."

Betamon 2 " Death? What is that?"

Betamon 4 " I think he means deletion."

Betamon-angered- " Then you want us to watch those newborn and in-training digimon be deleted? You want us to watch our home gets burn down?"

Helios " No. I will help you in fighting them. That turtle told me that I would be able to fight rookies and weak champions."

Betamon 3 " Are you crazy? We have not seen any human able to do that. You will get yourself killed!"

Helios " I will not get myself killed and yes, I am crazy. Don't bother trying to stop me. I will not let myself live with it if I just stand here and do nothing."

Betamon " I thank you beforehand then, just in case we do not have a chance later."

Helios " Two things you got to know. I am not doing this for your thanks and no worry, we will have a chance to do something later." ' Did I say that out loud? I guess I am more out of control then I thought.'

Before the Betamon can say anything, Helios had already arrived in the village and had put them down. They immediately prepared themselves for battle. The lizards and birds stopped what they were doing as they saw Helios. They seemed surprised to see a human male before them.

Lizard Leader " A digidestinied! What are you doing here out in the wild and without a partner?"

Helios made no reply to that lizard leader. He found that it was not worth it to talk to such morons. Instead, he moved in an amazing speed and punched one of the lizards, knocking it unconscious immediately. The lizard leader then realized that the teenager in front of him was no digidestinied. No digidestinied would do that to them and guard viral digimons. He gave a roar that Helios took it as an order to attack him. He was correct as the lizards and birds charged at him at the same time. They were yelling some stupid battle cry. It sounded something like ' For the cause of exterminating evil'.

Helios gave a smile as he thought of how ironic that battle cry sounds. They were calling him evil when it was obvious that they were the ones who were evil as they were trying to delete defenseless digimon. With a loud roar, Helios clenched his right hand and did a straight punch. It connected and sent one of the lizards that was charging at him back, knocking it unconscious before it even landed on the ground.

Betamon ' Wow! That was some serious raw power. Never thought a human would posses such strength. Maybe we can win this!' " Em……"

Helios " What?"

Betamon " Your name?"

Helios ' Is he serious? At this time he wanted my name?' " Its Helios."

Betamon " Helios, the orange lizard is known as Agumon. Its attacks are Pepper Breath and Claw Attack. The pink bird is Biyomon. Its attacks are Magical Fire and Hard Beak. Be careful when fighting them."

Helios simply nodded as he was busy dodging attacks from the bird, Biyomon. It was trying to hit him with its beak. He concluded that this was its Hard Beak attack. He knocked that bird out with a kick on its chest. However, he failed to notice an Agumon that sneaked behind him. He was hit by its Claw Attack and it hurt liked hell. Ignoring the pain, he knocked the Agumon down with his elbow without turning.

Helios ' Damn, that hurt. I guess fighting human and digimon are two different matters. Have to more careful or I really might kick the bucket.'

The Betamons were not doing very well. Not only that they had the type disadvantage, they were weaker then those Agumon and Biyomon. It was obvious as their ' Electric Shock' attacks were missing wildly while the Agumon and Biyomon squad managed to hit them with their 'Pepper Breath' and ' Magical Flame'. The Betamons looked pretty beaten up and they might black out anytime. It was thus quite weird as Helios, a human, did more damage then his digimon allies. Helios had already knocked out five Agumon and six Biyomon. However, he felt his strength leaving him. That was because he had suffered a ' Pepper Breath' attack on his chest. Not only that, his back was wounded due to the ' Claw Attack' from an Agumon. All seemed lost until a fireball appeared from nowhere hit one of the Biyomon and actually deleted it.

Helios saw an Agumon from a few meters in front of him. Unlike the Agumons he and the Betamons were fighting against, it was black in color. It had blue eyes instead of green like those Agumons in front of him. When he saw that Agumon, he had a sense of familiarity generating from it. It seemed that he had known it for a very long time.

Helios ' What the hell? What is that Agumon? Why does it feel that I know it from somewhere long ago? This cannot be. This is the first time I am in a digital world.'

Unknown to Helios, that Agumon had the same feeling when he saw Helios. To him however, Helios seemed to be an old friend that he had known and fought side by side before.

? ' This cannot be…… This is the first time I am seeing this human and it feels weird. Do I know him from somewhere? This cannot be!'

Helios decided to put his attention back into the battle. However, he was momentarily distracted as he heard one of the Betamon yelled out that specific Agumon's name.

Helios ' Black Agumon? That sure fits him. Ouch, damn bird!'

A Biyomon took the advantage of Helios's distraction and attacked him with a Hard Beak attack. Helios smacked the Biyomon away with the back of his palm. The Biyomon was sent flying towards Black Agumon, who took it out of the picture with his 'Pepper Blast'. The Biyomon burst into data and Black Agumon took it in immediately. They both looked at each other and saw a weird expression. They were meeting for the first time and they already worked well, too well in fact. The rest of the Agumon and Biyomon were shocked. They then ran away without even dared to look back.

Helios heard the digimon around him cheered in victory. All expect Black Agumon. Helios could not help but wonder why. To him, there was nothing to be happy about when winning a fight. Winning only confirms his living time had been extended. However, he could not understand why Black Agumon did not do so. Helios mentally smacked himself. He usually did not give a damn for others. So why was he so concerned about Black Agumon? All Helios could think of was that this world would drive him crazy.

Black Agumon was surrounded by the digimons immediately after their cheering. He was glad that his friends were all right. What he could not understand was why the human in front of him was not cheering like all those kids did when their partners win a fight. He recalled back to the time where he had decided to pay a visit to the village. It was lucky that he did. The Vaccine Army would destroy the village if he had not arrived in time. The village was filled with digimon that were defenseless and their guardians were only rookies. He had seen the human fight and was impressed. He was actually strong enough to knock out digimon. No human he had ever encountered could manage such a feat. The eldest Betamon then signaled for the human to come over. The human simply shrugged his shoulders and moved towards them.

Betamon " This is Helios, Black Agumon. Helios, this is Black Agumon."

Helios and Black Agumon ' He seems familiar somehow……'

Betamon " Now, I will have to tell the two of you the situation of our village. Sorry Black Agumon but Helios needs to know this. We are being occupied by the Holy Vaccine Army……"

Helios-snickers- " Holy Vaccine Army? Who are they fooling?''

Black Agumon-shrug his shoulders- " Ignorant Vaccine digimons and humans I guess."

Helios " True." ' Anyone would be fooled. After all, 'Holy' and 'Vaccine' are always linking together. Great tool to fool the ignorant.'

Black Agumon ' He is not offended when I say ignorant humans? Hmm…… he is really different from those kids.'

Betamon-mock cough- " Let me continue. The Vaccine Army had been forcing us to do labor for them. Many of our brothers have been deleted under their brutality. They forced us to work long and hard without sufficient food. They thus reborn in the Primary Village which is controlled by them and the Data Army. They are then forced to work again and undergo deletion again. The same thing happens and it becomes a cycle."

Helios ' Damn those Vaccine and Data asses! Who do they think they are?'

Black Agumon " I know this and have said this before, who do they think they are?"

Helios ' Thinking the same thing? Must be coincidence.'

Betamon-sigh- " They think that they are the supreme and represent all good qualities in digimon. However, that is way off topic. To prevent such cycle, my brothers and I managed to take our brothers' eggs from the truck that was transporting them. They were growing fine. We had peace for some while until three days ago. We were caught when we were looking for food. We were put under an Agumon that forced hard labor on us. If not because of you Helios, we would have perished after sometime. Our brothers will also perish due to hunger and all of us would be enslave by the Vaccine Army."

Helios " Why do they want to treat you all so cruelly?" ' I guess it is because they think all viral digimons are evil as most evil digimon are viruses.'

Betamon " I don't know. Virus, Data and Vaccine digimon are living peacefully with each other at first. We do not disturb them and they do not disturb us. However, it all changed a year ago. The Vaccine and Data digimon suddenly formed an army of its own and started hunting us, the viral digimons. We used to share the digital world equally but now, all land belongs to only Vaccine and Data digimon. Furthermore, we, viral digimon whom once ruled our land were reduced to slaves."

Helios ' This seems different from what Ewanbumon told me. Something is amiss here.'

Betamon " We cannot stay here any longer. The Vaccine Army has discovered us. They will not hesitate to delete us and then do the same thing again and again. We will have to escape. But sadly, that cannot be done as the base of the Vaccine Army in the Flaming Valley is exactly at the place where the exit to this place is."

Black Agumon " Where are you all going to hide?"

Betamon " We will not be hiding. We will join Lord Daemon's resistance force."

Helios " You are going to fight the two armies?"

Betamon " Exactly. We have enough of hiding already. Even though we would be torture and deleted again and again if we fell during a battle, it is better then hiding."

Black Agumon " How are you going to join? The headquarters to Lord Daemon's resistance force is unknown."

Betamon " I know how to contact the resistance force. I know where Sir Myotismon is stationed at. All we have to do is escape from this place."

Helios and Black Agumon ' That can be done.'

Betamon-sigh- " I guess that is all talk. Unless the way is open, we would be stuck in this place. Take a good rest, Black Agumon, Helios. You deserve it."

Helios and Black Agumon said nothing. They were then lead to their room by the hyperactive Koromons. However, at that night, neither of them could sleep. Helios was thinking about how he should help the Betamon and his brothers out. Although it was not like him, he simply hated the two armies all the way. Unknown to even himself, that hate was directed against their oppression and mistreatment of the virus type digimon. Although he had only met one type and heard only one side of the story, what he had seen was considered enough by him. Tossing around in the bed of straws, Helios can only come out with one plan. That was the same plan Black Agumon had already had when he first hit the bed.

Helios and Black Agumon ' Blast that damn base sky high tonight!'

Helios got out of bed during midnight. Actually, he was not sure if it was midnight at all. However, it was equivalent to midnight. He was sure as he could not see his fingers well in the dark. Quietly without waking any digimon asleep, Helios sneaked out of the village. However, he was surprised when he saw Black Agumon out as well. Black Agumon saw Helios as well. He did not understand why Helios was out so late at night. Almost at the same time, they asked each other the same question.

Helios and Black Agumon " What are you doing here?"

Helios did not say anything afterwards. Somehow, he knew what Black Agumon was doing outside. Strange enough, Black Agumon do too. Without saying a word, both set out to the base. It seemed that they had asked Betamon the location of the base for the same purpose, namely blasting the base to pieces. However, they had a different reason on why they were doing that.

Black Agumon " Why do you want to help Betamon?"

Helios " Nothing about helping. I'm doing this for myself."

Black Agumon " What have the Vaccine Army do to you?"

Helios " Nothing. Just don't like what they are doing."

Black Agumon " Same here. But I also want to help Betamon. He is a good friend."

Helios "……" ' Good friend? I don't even know what is a friend……'

Black Agumon " Don't you think you are reckless for trying to do this alone?"

Helios " Look who is talking."

Black Agumon-laughing- " You're right."

They stopped talking when they saw the base of the Vaccine Army. It still had lights on. Helios was a little puzzled by the lights as he could not understand why digimon need lights. Black Agumon was not amused by the lights. Helios stretched his arms a little as he prepared himself for a hell of a battle. Black Agumon just gave a little turn to the left and right.

Black Agumon " Do you have a plan?"

Helios " Only one."

Black Agumon " Which is?"

Helios " Direct Assault."

Black Agumon ' Thinking the same thing huh?' " Let's charge!''

Helios did not say a word. He let his actions speak for himself as he stepped into base. Black Agumon did the same as he walked side by side Helios. However, they were both surprised when they saw a whole army of rookies waiting for them when they entered the base.

Agumon Leader " Ha ha! Our captain had already known of your plans when you stepped near our base for twenty meters! Now, you wanted criminal Black Agumon and the renegade digidestinied, prepare to meet your end!"

Neither Helios nor Black Agumon bother to speak a word. With a shout from Helios and a roar from Black Agumon, they leaped into battle. The squad of Agumon and Biyomon charged at the duo as well. Black Agumon attacked with intense fury, shooting ' Pepper Blast' after another one and also used ' Rapid Claw' against the attacking enemy. Instant deletion happened when the attack connected. Black Agumon loaded the data of every fallen digimon as he knew that he had to stay at top condition and that he needed extra power ups. Helios attacked the incoming digimons with equal fury as well. Although his attacks could not cause deletion, it was strong enough to knock a digimon out. It soon falls into a pattern where Helios knocks a digimon out and Black Agumon would delete it, loading its data at the same time. However, the pattern was broke when a pillar of flame appeared and hit Black Agumon.

Black Agumon fell onto the floor with a thud. He did not expect such a powerful attack. He was surprised when he saw five Flarelizamon and two Birdramon. He did not expect the base to have champion digimon in it. After all, this area only had rookie virus digimon. Black Agumon did not consider the fact that the escaped Agumons and Biyomons from before would actually request for champion reinforcement. The Flarelizamon and Birdramon squad took advantage of Black Agumon's spacing out and fired their trademark attack of ' Flame Hit' and ' Meteor Wing' respectively. Black Agumon was hit hard by the attack and was critically damaged. If not for the fact that he had loaded a tremendous amount of data from way before, he would have faced instant deletion. However, this only seemed to delay the inevitable.

Helios was also not doing well. After Black Agumon was knocked down to another corner, the number of rookies in the base instantly overwhelmed him. He would knock one out and immediately another would follow. He had taken a good number of hits as well. If not for his strong and powerful body and build, he would have been knock out or dead by now. When he heard Black Agumon crashed down onto the ground loudly, he turned around to take a look at him and was surprised that he was attacked by five lizards covered with fire and had a steel helmet. There were also two fire birds attacking at him as well. He found himself flying across the room and land next to Black Agumon. He realized that the rookie squad had managed to knock him off his feet. Helios felt tired. However, he did not want this to end this way. He still wanted to live. Why he did not know. He wanted to find out if his life was meant to be the way it is. Black Agumon also did not want to be deleted this way as well. He wanted to go on living. He wanted to see the digital world he lived in return to the way it was before. Peaceful and calm.

Helios and Black Agumon ' This cannot end like this……'

The digimons of the Vaccine Army were closing onto the two. They were moving so slowly that it was obvious that they wanted to enjoy their achievement so far.

Helios and Black Agumon " I will not allow this to end this way!"

All of a sudden, a light appeared on Helios' s left wrist. The light was slowly expanding its length. It stopped when it reached Helios's elbow. The light then turned dark black and a form of machine was slowly materializing in front of Helios's, Black Agumon's and the digimons of the Vaccine armies' eyes. It was a unique device of pure black. It had a slot on the right side of it. On the surface of the device, there was a screen. It was full of static and slowly changed to blank. At the end of the device, there was an opening which was sealed by a black colored door of some sort. At the same time, Black Agumon felt his power returning to him. He could feel new power inside him as well. He did not know why, but he was not complaining. The rest of the digimon in the room could only stare at scene in front of them.

Helios ' D-merger? What the hell is this? Wait, how do I even know its name? What? Partner digimon is Black Agumon? What the hell is it talking about?'

Helios ' Calm down…… Let's see, yes! I am correct! This thing is giving me information on operating it. Okay, let's try this card slash thing.'

Without saying another word, Helios took a card that came out of the D-merger's end. The card reads: High Speed Plug-In H. Helios did not know what it does but slash the card through the slot anyway. Black Agumon felt a burst of speed inside him and decided to take out the rookie digimons first. This way, he would gain more firepower against the champion digimons. Firing ' Pepper Blast' in an amazing super speed, the rookie digimon were deleted one after another and there was nothing they could do. Black Agumon loaded all the data and could feel power building up in him.

As Black Agumon loaded the data of fallen digimon, Helios could feel his strength returning as well. Not only that, he felt power entering him as well. He did not know why but decided that it was a good thing. Taking a card that he was hoping for, he slashed the card and it boosted the power of Black Agumon greatly. Black Agumon's 'Pepper Blast' managed to delete the two Birdramon. He loaded their data to keep him in health and gain power. Again, Helios felt a boost in power. It was not the same as before but there was still power boost. Seeing one of the Flarelizamon was preparing to attack, Helios gave a swing at it. He did not even realize that the statistics of Flarelizamon was displayed on the screen of his D-merger. The Flarelizamon was knocked out cold when the fist connected to its head. Black Agumon deleted it with its ' Rapid Claw' and downloaded its data. Suddenly, the remaining Flarelizamon were deleted. Their data flew to one place though.

Helios and Black Agumon looked up to see a dinosaur that had a brown skull and has two horns. It was colored in light orange and it had blue stripes on it. It was laughing maniacally as it looked at Helios and Black Agumon.

? " Ha ha ha! Those fools' data would serve me well in defeating you two! Then His Majesty will promote me and grant me more power!"

Helios " You…… you killed your own soldiers like they were worth nothing and still feel no shame?"

? " What shame? They were useless and having them would not help me in anyway. It is better that they become one with me!"

Black Agumon " Damn you……"

? " Curse as all you want! There is no way you can beat me, Greymon!"

Helios and Black Agumon " Wrong!"

Black Agumon " There is no way you can beat us!"

Helios " Those who do not value their allies do not deserve to live!" ' At least that is what the old man told me……'

Helios and Black Agumon " We're gonna bring you down!"

Black Agumon felt power surging through his body. He felt like he would burst anytime soon. Helios could feel what Black Agumon felt. A term, digivolution flashed through his mind. Without thinking, Helios shouted out to Black Agumon.

Helios " Digivolve Black Agumon!"

Black Agumon nodded even though he did not know what to do. Suddenly, he was surrounded but a black light. He felt his body growing larger. His tail was extended and both his arms and legs were growing as well. Long, razor sharp claws appeared on both his hands and legs. His head grew and was covered in a black skull shell that had two horns. His eyes turned form blue to orange. His body was dark blue in color with black stripes all over its body. He opened his mouth and showed his razor sharp teeth as he said his name.

Black Greymon " Black Agumon digivolve to Black Greymon!"

Helios was amazed at what Black Agumon had become. He had evolved into another version of Greymon. He concluded that it might be the darker evolution as it had the name Black. This time, Helios noticed statistics on Black Greymon appearing on the screen of his D-merger.

Helios ' Black Greymon, virus type. Dark dinosaur type digimon. His attacks are Dark Nova and Death Gnaw. Fine evolution if you ask me.'

Helios rushed towards Greymon with a speed that even surprised himself. He caught Greymon off guard as he managed to give it a few punches and kick him towards Black Greymon. Roaring, Black Greymon used ' Death Gnaw' on Greymon. Using its sharp teeth, Black Greymon managed to damage Greymon seriously. Throwing Greymon up, Black Greymon fired his ' Dark Nova' towards the airborne Greymon. Helios watched as a gigantic sphere covered with black flames shot out of Black Greymon's mouth. It deleted Greymon instantly and Black Greymon downloaded its data. Feeling refreshed, Black Greymon and Helios looked at each other. At the same time, Black Greymon was covered in a black light and changed back to Black Agumon.

Black Agumon " I guess…… we are partners?"

Helios "……" ' I guess so……'

Black Agumon " What are you going to do now?"

Helios "……" ' Good question. I don't know……'

Black Agumon " How about we travel around the digital world? I want to see how much it has changed."

Helios "…… Fine." ' I can see the situation in this world as well as I journey. Maybe I can learn more about myself and this D-merger of mine.'

Giving a signal for Black Agumon to follow, Helios walked out of the base through the other exit. The exit that led to the other places of this digital world. Walking side by side with Black Agumon, Helios had a weird feeling. It was a long forgotten emotion, the emotion to feel happy. Why he was happy? He had a partner to travel with. Even though he would deny it even if you threatened him, he was glad to have someone to accompany him liked that old man did eight years ago.

End Chapter 2

What do you think of my chapter 2? Well, Helios might be too powerful for a human but that is only because of his one and only D-merger. The D-merger not only gives the owner the ability to scan other digimon's statistics. It also gives the owner the ability to slash cards like the D-Ark in Digimon Tamers. However, there is no need to have the card as the D-merger would create the card desired. It also gives the owner a special benefit. I am sure you know what it is. Please R&R my story. It would be nice to receive help to improve my writings. Now, I thank all those who have reviewed this story. Now I will answer the questions.

Black- Thanks for giving me that site. It is great help. I will try to keep up the standard of my fic as much as possible. It would be much easier if there are more people who review my story. It helps, as there will be people giving me feedback. For your question on other human appearing in this story, well, this chapter answers the question. Be warned though as other human that appears will be of opposing force.
