Chapter 3 of my story is here! Though I only receive 4 reviews, I'm not discouraged. I'm going to finish this story nevertheless. It is good that I have this whole thing planned out long ago. Introducing the first weapon that Helios is going to wield in my story.

Disclaimer: I do not own digimon. They are owned by whoever owns them. I own Helios, the D-merger and Catastrophe only.

Chapter 3: Blade of Catastrophe

Helios and Black Agumon had been walking south since the destruction of the base in the Flaming Valley. They were not worried about the Betamon and his brothers. That was because Black Agumon knew that they were very resourceful. In Helios's case, he just did not care about them. He had blown the base up, so it is up to them to survive. However, both had lots in their minds.

Helios ' Damn… Not only I have a weird thing called D-merger stuck on my hand; I am travelling with a Black Agumon! Not that I dislike it, but… Oh crap! Now I am enjoying his company? This is not good. He might be gone like that old man anytime soon…'

Black Agumon ' I have never though that I will be partnered with a human. Not only I dislike that idea, I despise that idea. After all, we viruses have been suffering under their hands. However, when I meet this guy… I feel strange. It seems like that I have known him for along time. It might be what one call fate I guess…'

Helios and Black Agumon came to a halt suddenly. Both of them had felt a battle. Black Agumon was able to do so as it was his primal instinct, while to Helios, it was years of martial arts training and survival in streets that made him had this ability. Confirming each other's thoughts with an eye gesture, both of them moved quickly and stealthy towards the battlefield. When they finally did arrived on the place where the battle was taking place, they were impressed with what they saw.

An angel like digimon was fighting against a mob of digimon. The angel like digimon had eight bat wings in dark purple color. It was encased in black armor trimmed with purple and had a weird looking stuff across its waist. It was in dark blue. The digimon was fighting against a mob of angel. Those angels looked liked what angels looked like. They had a three pair of white wings. They had a white armor looking thing equipped on it. There was also blue clothing accessories surrounding it. Other than angels, Helios saw another mob of ridiculous looking digimon. They looked liked tanks all right. However, their head was a part of the cannon. Their legs were of tank wheels and their hands were guns. There was also an angel that was just floating in the air. It looked exactly liked the angel that was fighting against the mob of digimon. It however, had five pairs of angel wings in radiant gold. It was incased in silver and blue armor. The strange thing across the waist was yellowish gold in state of blue. It looked liked the leader to Helios as it was pointing at the dark angel.

Remembering the function of the D-merger, Helios scanned their statistics. He was not impressed by what it showed him as he could guess most of their statistics anyway. How he knew it? Well, although he was here for only a few days, he only saw vaccine and data digimon ganging up on virus digimon. Seriously, he was getting sick of it already. That was also why he and Black Agumon had deleted most of the vaccines and data they met. Even though they did not say their thoughts out loud, both felt the same. They were angry and disgusted at the vaccine and data digimons' actions. They were always doing the same thing when they encountered them. Deleting virus digimons like they were nothing. That was why neither him nor Black Agumon showed mercy. He motioned for Black Agumon to lay low. They would attack when he gave the signal. Black Agumon nodded reluctantly. He wanted to help the dark angel out and also wanted to show those vaccine and data digimons that they should not mess with them.

Helios ' Hang on Black Agumon. I also want to duke out on those asses. But it would be safer to know them better. Hmm, Shadow Seraphimon, virus mega type, dark angel digimon. Attacks are Seven Hells, Dark Testament and Solid Knuckle. Those angels are Angemon, vaccine champion type, angel digimon. Attack is Heaven Knuckle. Those stupid tanks are Tankmon, how unoriginal. Attacks are what? Hyper cannon? Sounds stupid. The boss like thing is Seraphimon. Vaccine mega angel type. Attacks are Seven Heavens, Testament and Hollowed Knuckle. Now we have info, time to kick ass!'

Helios " Let's go!"

Black Agumon who was very restless for a long time was glad that Helios gave that sign. Jumping into battle, Black Agumon started blasting at the mob of Tankmon. The reason was very obvious. Black Agumon was a virus digimon. He had advantage against the Tankmons who were all data digimon. Firing his trademark Pepper Blast, he deleted a couple of Tankmon and loaded their data. The reason why Black Agumon, a rookie digimon managed to delete champion digimon was because of two reasons. One was that he had type advantage and the other was that he had loaded data for most of his life. Although he did not digivolve like the others, he gained immense power. Roaring in battle frenzy, Black Agumon fired more Pepper Blasts and even used his Rapid Claw to hurry the defeat of the Tankmons. He knew that he would be overwhelmed if he did not take advantage of the surprise he caused when he appeared out of nowhere with Helios. As he deletes the Tankmons, he loaded their data. He had to stay healthy and need an increase in power.

Helios was also very busy. He went to fight the Angemons to lighten the burden of Shadow Seraphimon. He knew that it was a bad idea as he could not fly. However, he had no choice as Black Agumon would not really have a chance to win against the vaccine and flying Angemon. Giving a loud roar that surprised the mob of Angemon, Helios leaped a few feet into the air and proceeded to knock them down. Helios did not know why he was able to perform such an inhuman feat but he did not really care. All he cared was that he could deliver the punishment these morons deserved. His attacks had such overwhelming speed and strength that it surprised and knocked out many Angemon. However, he was stuck in a dangerous position as he found himself falling and the Angemon were starting to back away from him. He could not reach any of his enemies and was hit hard by more than a dozen of Heaven Knuckle and he prepared himself for a rough landing onto the ground. However, it did not happen.

Shadow Seraphimon was surprised when he saw a human male of no more than sixteen came out to help him. He was even more surprised when he saw that the human had a virus digimon as a partner. He found it strange as all humans he had come across were either disgusted with virus digimons or they bore hate against them. He did not understand why but he was angered by their actions. After all, it was also a human that had caused the conflict in the digital world. He was thinking about all these as he was fighting against the Angemons. He had no problem with them despite the type disadvantage as he was a mega digimon and he was much more experienced in battle than them. It was then when he was dumbfounded by a sight. The human and his partner were actually helping him. Although that was uncommon, it was not that fact that had dumbfounded him. It was the fighting capabilities that the two had.

The Black Agumon was deleting champion digimon in his rookie form. It was also fighting in such expertise that not even an ultimate digimon had. Shadow Seraphimon could tell that the Black Agumon had more power than it looked. The strategic thinking it had also impressed him. Fighting and loading data was a good combo to use during a mess battle. The human however, shocked him the most. He had never seen a human that could fight against digimon before. The human was also good in doing that. He was knocking down the Angemons in amazing speed. He must be very strong to be able to do that. However, he saw him starting to fall. That was because he can fly and the gravity was pulling him down. He could not hit his opponents as the Angemon started backing up. Shadow Seraphimon's eyes widen slightly beneath his black and blue helm. He could not believe how low this Holy Vaccine Army could be, attacking a human. Although he had charged into battle, he never expected that they would attack him. Hoping it was not too late, Shadow Seraphimon flew down and caught the human male before he landed badly on his back.

Helios found himself being caught be the dark angel, Shadow Seraphimon. He mentally cursed himself for being careless and did not think his plan out properly. He tried to move his body but found it to be in tremendous pain. He could not help but gave a wry smile. He should have expected that being hit by twenty something Heaven Knuckles would give him hell. Suddenly, he felt a warm sensation travelling up his body and slowly, his pain subsided. He did not know why this happened, by whenever Black Agumon loaded data, he would feel refreshed and his wounds would heal. Not only that, he could also feel an increase in his power, speed and stamina. Helios suspected that it had something to do with the D-merger but could not figure out what. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Shadow Seraphimon spoke to him.

Shadow Seraphimon " Are you alright?"

Helios-nodded- "…" ' Now what?'

Shadow Seraphimon " I am curious as to why you are helping me."

Helios " No particular reason. I am just pissed off as those assess on ganging up on you."

Shadow Seraphimon " I thank you. Now, would you tell your partner to head into the shrine behind me?"

Helios " Fine." ' What does he want? Oh well, no use for guessing. If he meant harm, I am already dead for more than a hundred of times anyway.'

Helios-shouting- " Black Agumon! Come on, we are heading in to the shrine at the back."

Black Agumon " Alright, I'm coming!"

Black Agumon fired another Pepper Blast at the Tankmons. He was getting irritated by the number of them available. Loading the data of the deleted Tankmons, he ran towards the shrine. When he was half way there, he was swooped up into the air by Shadow Seraphimon. Black Agumon was then placed on Helios's arms. Shadow Seraphimon flew up into the air and slowly increased his height. Turning suddenly, he shouted the name of his attack, Dark Testament out loudly. Immediately, the sky turned dark and black lightning appeared from the sky, hitting and deleting all the Angemon and Tankmon. The Seraphimon dodged all the black lightning and retreated. Both Helios and Black Agumon were impressed by this attack. However, it made Helios a little unhappy.

Helios " Why didn't you use that attack at the first time?" ' It would save all of us so much trouble."

Black Seraphimon-apologetically- " I would, but I did not have enough time to charge up for the attack. Although it is powerful, much time is needed to charge up to use it."

Helios " Whatever you say."

Black Agumon " Why are you so grumpy? We managed to kick ass and force them to retreat!"

Helios "…" ' I don't know. Something seems wrong there…'

Black Seraphimon " We must hurry back to the shrine. There is the only save place from the Vaccine and Data alliance." ' I wonder… Maybe this teenager is the chosen one. It would be clear when we reach the shrine.'

Black Agumon " Fine, let's move!"

Helios " Whatever."

When Helios and Black Agumon arrived in the shrine, they were dumbfounded by what they saw. The shrine was not very huge. However, its inside were very well decorated. There were drawings on the walls of the shrine. A weird statue was also present in the altar of the shrine. Helios concluded that it might be what this shrine worshipped for. Black Agumon nudged Helios and was desperately wanting to catch his attention. Helios glanced down at his partner and had a look that said ' What?' Grinning sheepishly, Black Agumon pointed to his stomach. Helios immediately understood what his partner meant. He was hungry. Helios was about to berate his partner when his stomach gave a lion roar. Frowning in both embarrassment and frustration, Helios went to Shadow Seraphimon. He wanted to know why Shadow Seraphimon was protecting the shrine and whether if he had any food for both himself and his partner.

Helios " Why are you protecting the shrine?"

Shadow Seraphimon " Why do you want to know?"

Helios-shrugged- " I want to know what is it that makes you willing to lay your life to protect this place."

Shadow Seraphimon ' He is sharp.' " Look at this, Helios. Look at the walls of the shrine. That is the reason why I want to protect this place."

Helios-frowning- ' How did he know my name?'

Shadow Seraphimon-chuckle slightly- " Do not be bothered by such a little detail Helios."

Helios-shrugged- " What ever you say."

Helios looked at the walls of the shrine as he was told. He was amazed by what he saw. On the walls, there was a creature that had a pair of demon wings. It had a face that signified that it was indeed a demon. It had skull armor on its body. He was breathing out fire as well. He seemed to be fighting against eight other creatures, which Helios could conclude that they were digimon. He had seen them before. It was in the newspaper during his stay at the old man's home. They were the digimons of the so-called digidestinied. That demon there however, was not familiar to him. Shadow Seraphimon answered Helios's unsaid question for him.

Shadow Seraphimon " That is one of the legends in this world. It is about the battle between the eight digimon that represented courage, friendship, love, sincerity, knowledge, responsibility, hope and light against the ultimate darkness known as Demon."

Helios " Is it similar to Daemon?"

Shadow Seraphimon-shaking head- " No. Daemon is the just ruler of the viral digimons. He is very just no matter against who. Be it his closest friend, anyone who committed crime would not be spared. This Demon however, is a different story."

Helios " How different?" ' This is getting interesting somehow.'

Shadow Seraphimon " This Demon was hoping to enslave the digital world at that time. He had the power to do so. Even the digital guardians were powerless against him. However, eight children that represent different positive qualities appeared in our world and defeated Demon and his minions. That is the end of the legend."

Helios " Okay…" ' Just one word difference and has so much difference… Daemon and Demon…'

Helios turned his head away and saw another drawing. This time, it is of a dragon warrior in white armor holding a sword with the omega sign on. It was fighting against a six-legged purple beast. Helios could not help but wonder about what it was. Normally, Helios would not give a damn about legends and myths but now… they seemed interesting somehow. Like reading his mind, Shadow Seraphimon answered Helios's unsaid questions again.

Shadow Seraphimon " That is the battle between the holy knight, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode and the legendary beast, Armageddemon. The legend says that Armageddemon was supposed to bring Armaggeddon to the digital world. However, a holy knight came out from the darkness and challenged the legendary beast to a duel. They dueled for a few days and finally the holy knight emerged as the victor. Thus, Armageddon was avoided. However, the holy knight also disappeared after that epic battle."

Helios " I see…" ' That sure sounds like some fairy tale… But why is that I feel that that drawing was depicting a real event?'

Moving to the final drawing, Helios saw four digimons. Three of them were fighting against one digimon. That digimon looked liked the Grim Reaper to Helios. It had a skull head and skull armor. It also had a scythe-like hand. The three digimon that were fighting against him were consisted of a knight with white and red armor. It had a lance and shield as weapons and a crimson cape was flowing behind his back. The other one was a green gigantic robot with a dog-like face. It had two missiles that had smiley faces on it. It looks ridiculous to Helios. Finally, the last digimon was, to Helios's surprise, a female. It had light yellow armor and was wearing a black body suit. It also had a fox headed helm. The weapon she is holding seemed like a staff that those Shoaling monks that traveled used.

Shadow Seraphimon " That is the legend of the Reaper."

Helios " Legend of the reaper?" ' Is it just me, or is this becoming a cycle?'

Shadow Seraphimon " The Reaper wanted to bring the digital world to when no digimon existed. It believed that we have been damaging the environment too much and everything must be return to nothing. It had caused great damage to many parts of the digital world."

Helios " Was the digital world very damaged at that time?"

Black Seraphimon " Yes, it was. Due to rapid development, the digital world was slowly changing from the green land to an empire of machine. Seriously, I do not know whether this is a blessing in disguise…"

Helios " You sound like as if it was real." ' Maybe… he knows something that I don't…'

Shadow Seraphimon ' Very sharp indeed… However, it is still too early to tell him about different dimensions and different quadrants…' " No worry, it is not real. I was just thinking about this legend more carefully and in another point of view."

Helios " Whatever you say." ' There is something he is not telling me…'

Shadow Seraphimon " Anyway, according to the legend, a holy knight known as Gallantmon joined forces with the shaman Sakuyamon and the green fortress Saint Galgomon to fight against the Reaper. They won the battle however, the damage to the land was already made." ' It was a good thing too… The people and digimon of the southern quadrant learned to work together…'

Helios " I think I know why you want to protect this place with your life already." ' This place seemed liked the only shrine left in the digital world dedicated to legends…'

Shadow Seraphimon " The leader of the Vaccine army had ordered the destruction of the ancient shrines. The delusion fools followed him in his mad quest and this shrine is the last place dedicated to legends." ' That man is looking for Catastrophe. That is why he destroyed the shrines…'

Helios " You wanted to protect the final remains of legends in the digital land, right?"

Shadow Seraphimon " That is correct." ' I also have to guard Catastrophe.'

Helios " I'm impressed." ' Not many would be willing to do this… I'm sure.'

Black Agumon " Are you done talking Helios? I'm hungry!"

Helios-smacking his forehead- " Damn! I forgot!" ' I forgot to ask for food…'

Shadow Seraphimon simply chuckled at the sight in front of him. He went to the storehouse of the shrine to get the food for those two. He could not believe his luck. Even though he had been attacked for about two weeks, he still managed to survive to wait for the arrival of the chosen one. He was also delighted to know that the chosen one was liked what he had imagined. However, he was not certain in why he was fighting yet. He was doing the fighting simply because of two reasons. He wanted to survive and that he did not liked oppression. These two reasons were good but not enough. He needed a more certain believe if he was to defeat the fanatic leader of the Vaccine army. However, he was sure that he could find that believe. It was only a matter of when.

With food in his hands, Shadow Seraphimon walked outside to serve it to his guests. Black Agumon took the food gratefully and started to wolf them down, while Helios was just looking at him with a questionable look. He must be wondering how the food came by. However, his looks disappeared as he took, wolf down the food. Shadow Seraphimon was amused at how similar the way the two before him ate. He suspected that it was one of the reasons they were chosen as partners. All of a sudden, the whole shrine shook violently. Both Helios and Black Agumon stopped eating and looked in the same direction which was the entrance to the shrine. They had sensed hostile company as did Shadow Seraphimon. The entrance door was being banged a few times. Helios, Black Agumon and Shadow Seraphimon prepared themselves for battle. They all knew it was going to be a long and wild one. The door finally broke and digimon started charging in the through the space which once held the door.

The enemies were Angemon and Tankmon again. However, they were at a disadvantage as they were too stupid to realize that squeezing in together was stupid. Shadow Seraphimon fired his Solid Knuckle and Black Agumon let loose his Pepper Blast. Their attack went through several Angemon and Tankmon before they dissipate. Both loaded the data as they knew that they had to stay fresh for this battle. As Helios had no projectile to use, he could do nothing. It was then he remembered that his D-merger could assist his partner in battle. Observing the situation, Helios concluded that he would have to let Black Agumon delete more digimon in one attack. The best way to do so was to increase its attack power and the number of projectile he could fire. Two cards came out from the back of the D-merger. Helios grinned in a feral manner as he saw the cards.

Helios ' Viral Boost Chip and Triple Shot, exactly what I need. Too bad I cannot help Black Seraphimon…' " Black Agumon! Fire your Pepper Blast at the center of the mob!"

Black Agumon " Okay!"

Helios " Digimodify! Viral Boost Chip and Triple Shot!"

Black Agumon felt a rush of power through him suddenly. Understanding Helios's command almost immediately, Black Agumon fired his Pepper Blast into the center of the mob of digimon. All his enemies were caught by surprise when three dark flamed fireballs came out of Black Agumon's mouth. It was spreading in a direction of center, left and right. Due to the use of the viral boost chip, the fireballs managed to delete forty percent of the digimon mob. It was then a bright flash appeared in front of them. Helios, Black Agumon and Shadow Seraphimon recognized that flash as Seraphimon. They heard him saying a sentence before he attacked.

Seraphimon " Return to the world of darkness, you scums!"

Before any of them could blink, Seraphimon had already charged forward and towards Shadow Seraphimon. Shadow Seraphimon managed to dodge the hook aimed at him by Seraphimon. He returned the attack which Seraphimon managed to dodge with relative ease. Seeing the mega digimon being busied by Seraphimon, the rest of the digimon mob attacked Helios and Black Agumon. They were immediately surrounded by the Angemons and the Tankmons still present in the room. The two of them knew that it was going to be a fight for their lives. With a silent agreement, both started attacking.

Shadow Seraphimon was having trouble fighting his holy counterpart. Not only he had a type disadvantage, he was already very tired from all the fighting. He never had a chance to rest while Seraphimon did not even had to fight him. Seraphimon never did bothered to fight him and now he knew why. Seraphimon was using the old tactics where you wear your opponent out with minions while you keep your strength. Shadow Seraphimon gave a grunt as he was hit on the chest by Seraphimon. Seraphimon continued the assault by delivering two straight punches, a low kick and finally an axe kick. Shadow Seraphimon managed to stay on his feet but that proved to be a bad thing as he was hit by Seraphimon's Hollowed Knuckle. It sent him flying and he landed onto the floor badly.

Helios and Black Agumon were not doing well also. Although they managed to knock out or delete their opponents, they just kept coming liked there was an unlimited number of them. Even loading the data did not help much, as they would get hit occasionally. The number disadvantage was catching up on them and now, they were in trouble. Helios glanced at Black Agumon and saw that winded look on his face. While the Tankmons were easily defeated, the Angemons were definitely giving Black Agumon a hard time. The type disadvantage together with the number disadvantage was killing him. Black Agumon had tried to digivolve, but there was not enough time for him to do so. The mob kept breaking the digivolve process. Having an idea in his head suddenly, Helios tackled Black Agumon down to the floor. Black Agumon was not prepared for this and so was knocked down.

Black Agumon-shouting- " What are you doing?"

Helios " Black Agumon, now is the chance! Digivolve!"

Black Agumon ' I see… By acting as a shield for me, I would have enough time to digivolve! Great thinking!' " Okay! Here I go!"

Black light covered Black Agumon again. He was used to this now as he and Helios had a little practice during the trek. His reasoning was that Black Agumon should learn to digivolve at anytime as it might proved to be a lifesaver. Black Agumon was glad that he had practice as Helios's words were becoming true. A blink of eye later, Black Agumon was gone and the huge and menacing Black Greymon replaced him. Helios was relieved that his plan worked. If not, he and Black Agumon would be dead. Black Greymon was now dominating the battle. Not even the vaccine Angemon could stop him. They all seemed to become rag dolls in front of Black Greymon. Growling lowly, Black Greymon released the Dark Nova from his mouth and a cluster of digimon were deleted when coming contact with it. Black Greymon loaded all the data down. Feeling more refreshed, Helios summoned a viral boost chip card and slashed it through the slot in his D-merger. It was then he heard the groan of pain from behind him. Turning around, Helios saw the form of Shadow Seraphimon.

Shadow Seraphimon was in tremendous pain. Seraphimon had taken the time when he was trying to get up to launch his Seven Heavens attack. The impact sent him flying and then he was caught in a bear hug by Seraphimon. He knew what was going to happen and braced himself for the pain. It was too much for him to bear as the lightning from Seraphimon's Testament attack had tore through his armor. He was then flung onto the ground. He knew that his end was near and that he would be erased from existence. When he saw Helios running towards him, he saw a glimmer of hope for him.

Helios knelt down beside the dark angel. He was shocked at how badly damaged he was. He was not liked what Helios had seen him from before. His armor was cracked and black colored skin was exposed. His helm was cracked and smashed beyond recognition. Helios realized that he was about to be deleted. His form was very unstable. This sight made Helios remembered the time when the old man had died…

-Flashback-

The old man looked very different that day. Instead of his usual healthy color of red on his face, he was pale white that day. Helios had never seen something liked this before. He felt the old man for pulse but found none. It was then he realized that the old man who had taken him in was dead. The one who had cared for him had left. Helios was very sad but he could not cry. He wanted to but no tears came out. The old man was the only one who had cared for him and he was dead. He was alone in this world now…

-End Flashback-

Even though Helios had only met Shadow Seraphimon not long ago, he felt drawn to him. Shadow Seraphimon was very knowledgeable and it reminded him of the old man. Emotions long forgotten came back to him in a rush. All of a sudden, he was feeling sad, anger and despair. Shadow Seraphimon, liked the old man was about to leave. Although Shadow Seraphimon did not take care of him like the old man did, he seemed like an old friend. What made all his feelings worst was that he might be able to save Shadow Seraphimon. He then saw Shadow Seraphimon turned towards him in agony.

Helios " Try not to move or talk."

Shadow Seraphimon " I…have…to. Listen well…Helios…"

Helios "… Go ahead…"

Shadow Seraphimon " Thank…you. Helios…the Vaccine army had attacked the shrine for two reasons…"

Helios "…" ' I knew it…Damn…'

Shadow Seraphimon " The…leader of the Vaccine army…he is bent on destroying the…legendary blade."

Helios " Why?"

Shadow Seraphimon " It… is the…only thing that can break through the…shield he had set up to protect his base."

Helios " I see…" ' That is why he was bending on destroying the shrine.'

Shadow Seraphimon " However, what I had told you before… It is true as well. He wanted to…erase all that shows all digimon working together…"

Helios " What an ass…" ' This way, he can destroy and enslave all virus digimon without the other digimon feeling guilty…'

Shadow Seraphimon " He…somehow managed to…cause an illusion that shows virus digimons destroying towns and deleting innocent digimons… Then, he brought many children and they started…to hunt for us, those with knowledge. Then, he started to hunt for the rest of the viral digimon. The guardians…disappeared when it happened… I am afraid…that they are lost…as well… "

Helios "…" ' Now it make sense…By destroying all the shrines those ignorant children and digimon would think that all virus are evil. Combined with that illusion, it gave him a justifying reason to hunt viral digimon…'

Shadow Seraphimon " My…time is up… The sword…is inside the statue… It has been waiting for you…Take my data as well…I want…to fight with you…My last request…Free us! Chosen One!"

With that said, Shadow Seraphimon burst into data. Helios could feel a sinking feeling slowly crawling up from his stomach. Managed to catch Black Greymon's attention, he ordered him to load the data of Shadow Seraphimon. It was his last wish. Black Greymon did as he was told and he felt a tremendous power filling him. It was nothing like he had felt before. However, the sorrow he was feeling was also great. He looked at Helios and could not help but worry about him. He did not seemed very stable…

Silently, Helios walked towards the statue. Balling up his palm into a fist, he rammed it right into the statue. The statue broke into pieces and a sword was seen floating on where the statue once was. The blade was glowing in a haunting color of purple. Without a word, Helios took the handle of the blade. In an instant, the blade changed drastically. The whole blade turned into a combination of black and dark purple. Helios could feel the blade becoming one with him. With a sadistic smile, he dashed in front of the Seraphimon with a speed that even amazes the speedy Seraphimon. Before he knew it, he was data. Helios had dove the tip of the blade straight through Seraphimon's chest. Giving a look to Black Greymon, he rushed towards the remaining digimon in the room. He was bent on deleting them all. Black Greymon quickly loaded the data of Seraphimon and went after his partner to help him.

Helios could not feel anything. He was moving his body using his instincts. His mind was somewhere else. He was thinking about the time when the old man died. That was his first experience with death. His foster grandfather was gone and he saw it. Shadow Seraphimon was another case. He was liked an old friend to him. A friend that he seemed to know since young. However, he was gone too. The worst thing was that he, Helios could have done something to help him. As he didn't Shadow Seraphimon was deleted. Another one that he felt close to is gone… It was really weird. Shadow Seraphimon made him felt close and familiar when he was with him. Helios hated the feeling when someone you cared died. He hated it more than anyone did as he had too few that he would care for.

Black Greymon looked at his partner in worry. He was fighting all right. However, his eyes looked dead. It was not like it when it was during regular time. Helios's eyes were cold regularly but if you look closely, you could see that sparkle in it. Now, it seemed dead. He had never thought that Helios would be like this when his friend dies or in this case, was deleted. He always seemed cold and not giving a damn to anything. It was then Black Greymon saw Helios's childhood. Not all of it but just a glimpse of it. However, it was enough to let him understand why he was the way he was. The fear of losing those he cared for was too deeply rooted in his heart. That was why he pushed everyone away…

Helios was still lost in his thoughts. He was wondering why the hell would he have to go through all this crap. What have he done to not have a happy family like others do? What have he done to make him have to go through the loss of those that cared for him? He really wanted to know… Two people who were liked master to him were gone…why? The old man taught him martial arts and life. Shadow Seraphimon taught him about something important…what he did not know. It was important but he still could not understand what had Shadow Seraphimon taught him. It was something in the drawings… Then he heard it. He heard a voice of a little girl no more than six talking to him inside his head.

? " Why are you so sad?"

Helios " I…"

? " Open your eyes! Your digimon partner is also worried about you!"

Helios " Black…Agumon?"

? " Yep! You should understand something. Life is like that. There is no use in regretting about the past. You always say ' I might have did this and that' but it is in the past! No use crying over spilled milk. What has happened has happened, there is nothing you can do."

Helios "…" ' Why…did I not think of that?'

? " I know you have a tough life, but that is no reason for you to act like this! Wake up! You have a job to do you know."

Helios " A…job?"

? ' Gee! Don't tell me you have forgotten what Ewanbumon had told you!"

Helios " Oh…that? I remember…"

? " Good! Now, wake up to your senses and do what you must."

Helios " …Fine…"

? " You can sound more enthusiastic you know."

Helios " Hey…"

? " Yes?"

Helios " …Thanks…I need that wake up call…"

? -giggles- " No problem! Oh and about what Shadow Seraphimon taught you, don't worry about it. You will know when you gain more experience."

Helios " What? Hey wait!"

Helios was snapped back into reality. He could not tell if what just had happened was a dream or not. However, he was glad that it had happened. That little girl was right. No use crying over spilled milk… It still is painful though, to see a friend pass away in front of your eyes. However, he would have to worry about that later. He would worry about everything only after it was all over. Seeing Black Greymon's worried look, he was a little surprise about the concern his partner had for him. Giving his partner a thumbs up sign, he started slashing and thrusting at the enemy digimon. This time, he was in control of his body.

Black Greymon was relieved when he saw the light returned in his partners' eyes. Grinning inwardly when he saw his partner's thumbs up sign, he joined him in deleting the enemy, loading their data as he did. It took them sometime but they managed to delete all of the enemy this time.

Helios and Black Greymon were both glad that all their enemy were deleted. They were starting to get bored and tired. Black Greymon then dedivolve back into Black Agumon. Walking side by side, Black Agumon decided to start a conversation.

Black Agumon " You okay?"

Helios " No. But I will be fine in the future."

Black Agumon " Phew… I am glad to hear that."

Helios " All right partner, do you know where we can find Daemon?"

Black Agumon " No. Why do you want to find him?"

Helios " To help him to kick those vaccine and data ass of course. Both you and I are tired of seeing the same thing right? So why not join Daemon and help him fight for the freedom of your brethren?"

Black Agumon " That is a good idea! But…I don't know where to find him."

Helios-shrugged- " We will find him as we travel around."

Black Agumon " Okay! What are you going to do with the sword?"

Helios " I am bring it with me of course. It is what Shadow Seraphimon wants."

Black Agumon " That guy is great. It is a pity we cannot know he more."

Helios " We know him and that is enough. I guess we can understand each other well enough."

Black Agumon "… Are you okay?"

Helios " Yes, why do you ask?"

Black Agumon " Nothing, it seems that you are nicer then before."

Helios " Whatever. Let's go." ' That little girl…who is she? Whatever, I will know in the future. I guess now is not time to think, but time to fight…'

Placing the Catastrophe into its scarab, Helios placed the sword into his black coat and put it just behind his back. It would make it easier for him to take it out when necessary. Walking side by side with Black Agumon, Helios could not help but think back to the conversation he had earlier with the little girl. Somehow…she sounds familiar…

End Chapter 3

That is the end of chapter 3! I guess this is quite badly done. The friendship between Helios and Shadow Seraphimon seemed not clearly stated. Anyway, Helios now hears a little girl's voice in his head and she sounds familiar…That familiar stuff seemed to appear a little too much in my story already… Anyway, that is all for this chapter and please R&R! And thanks Black and Regless! The bold thing is definitely helpful.
