Chapter 1

Davis had been slammed into the cell. He had landed on a road and three unknown human looking Digimon had picked him, roughly, had treated like scum. The disgust was evident on their faces, not wanting to be searched he let them have their way. All around him, he saw Digimon. Digimon looking at him like he was nothing. It angered him and yet made him fearful. This Digimon didn't care for humans much.

Making certain that no Mon was watching, Davis took out his Digivice and looked at it. It was now quiet different then it was before. For one thing it was now looking a bit more like a D-ark but not quiet. He also found that his D-terminal was gone. Davis now just asked a question that anyone would ask, "Now what?" He didn't expect an answer.

(V)(V)(V)

He watches as some humon type Digimon begin in a human. An odd one at that. He stayed quiet as he watch as the human got through his pockets. Then watch as an odd device was taken out. Wonder if he could use it to bribe one of the guards, he hears the human say, "Now what?"

He answers, "You wait until they find which camp you came out of." The human stiffens and looks over at him. 'He looks like seen a spiritmon.' He muses, but the answer the human gave, unnevered him, for no human ever knows much about Digimon or their names. The fact that this one was almost got his name in one go, it really crept him out. "Veemon?" "Nope, KageVeemon." He answers the human, trying not to look nervous.

Then the human did something that stocked him to the core. He held up the device and then the came an image of him.

KageVeemon

Rookie level Digimon

Virus type

Dark Dragon. Attacks are Yami Head Butt and Yami Punch.

The human read out his information like it was nothing. He has never heard of this. 'That device just told him about what level, type, and attacks! I'm way out of my depth here. Should I call a guard? No, maybe this human is my ticket out. I just need to get him to trust me and bingomon; I get the ability to travel by shadows. Then nothing can hold me back.'

"You look disappointed. I wonder why." He watches the human closely.

Davis hears a voice say, "You wait until they find which camp you came out of." Davis turns to see a Digimon that reminds him of Veemon. He asks, "Veemon?" The Digimon replies, "Nope, KageVeemon." Then getting an idea he points his Digivice at the Veemon like rookie.

KageVeemon

Rookie level Digimon

Virus type

Dark Dragon. Attacks are Yami Head Butt and Yami Punch.

Davis reads out the information. 'KageVeemon, huh? Kage means shadow I think. So, he's a virus and Veemon's vaccine. Cool, I wonder if he could help me get out of here?' He asks the virus, "So, what're in for?"

Davis notices in amusement that this wasn't what he was expecting. The virus says, "Just trying to live. I had some goods, and someone thought I shouldn't have them. So, what's that device you have?" Davis looks surprised and answers, "It's my Digivice. My partner's Veemon, but we were travel through a portal and the I land here." "Partner? You claim to have a Digimon as a partner? What for?" KageVeemon asks. "We have been through a lot. We defeated bad guys, save the world, you know doing the good guy thing." KageVeemon snort, then says, "You watch and this Veemon does the fighting." "It's not like that. I help him Digivolve. I even got the Digi Eggs of Courage, Friendship, and Miracles. Then he can even Digivolve into ExVeemon." KageVeemon didn't answer.

"So, what're in for?" He answered before think. "Just trying to live. I had some goods, and someone thought I shouldn't have them. So, what's that device you have?" He watched as the human looks surprised, "It's my Digivice. My partner's Veemon, but we were travel through a portal and the I land here."

Now KageVeemon has heard about other realities, he himself has traveled through a few. 'So he's from a different reality. Figures.' "Partner? You claim to have a Digimon as a partner? What for?" He asks. "We have been through a lot. We defeated bad guys, save the world, you know doing the good guy thing." He could have laugh out loud when he hear the good guy thing. The states, "You watch and this Veemon does the fighting." "It's not like that. I help him Digivolve. I even got the Digi Eggs of Courage, Friendship, and Miracles. Then he can even Digivolve into ExVeemon." He didn't know how to respond to that. 'Digivolve … to Digivolve anytime. Now that power I can use, but it would seem I need the human to learn from. His partner's not here and his a Veemon, so maybe I a can stand be a stand in? Maybe I should just call a guard and I'll get out of this without a head ach? But then when did I ever did something easy?'

"You know, we could help each other. You see, my kind is capable of using shadows to travel around. All we need it to form a bond with a human and then the ability is unlocked. I can maybe stand in for your partner? I get the keys and then we get out of here, what you say?"

He watches the human closely. He hoped the human bought it. If everything goes well then at least he can use shadow to get away. Then he'll never have to worry about this ever again.

(V)(V)(V)

'Can I trust this guy? I mean, had good that someone thought he shouldn't have? He's a criminal, a thief, but I do want out. But I don't know how to add him as my partner. Willis had twins and I don't think that applies. I don't know who to trust, I mean what's stopping this guy from just get this ability and leaving me here to rot? I might not have told him as much as I should have. I guess it's time to live by that saying I told Takato that once. You got to give trust to earn trust. Well here goes.' Taking a deep breath, "I'm Davis and I'd like to be your partner KageVeemon."

With that his Digivice glows and a light shots toward KageVeemon. Looking at his Digivice it show a list, Veemon's names first then KageVeemon is added. Then the light disappears. The guard comes and looks at the two then leaves.

KageVeemon the walk into the shadows and fades into them. Soon he's back with the keys and unlocks the doors. He follows KageVeemon out and into a clothing room. "Get a robe on. Cover yourself with it. Don't show anything." Davis does as he was told. So, they're gone.

-----------------------------

A grouped of robed Digimon meet, nothing can be see of them. The only different are the sizes and shapes under them and the color of the robes.

The one with a dark green speak to the assembly, "This can't go on. The assimilation of other realities will force the hands of other powers. I speak of the Hazard, for none can find it. It has been gone, despite how careful it was guarded. The last time it was unleashed, Megidramon had taken a 'trip' around different realities. We don't even know what form it wears, and it could destroy us with one swipe if finds the Anchor. We must stop this madness! How long until we face the Hazard or any of the other powers? I say that we have enough territory."

The next to speak, wearied a light blue with a splash of white on his robe. "Agreed. We wouldn't be here if we didn't feel the same way. Many Digimon think that the Hazard expired; we know that the Gather of Life promotes this view. The humans throughout the territories might be ignorant for now, but you must remember that it's always humans that made the Digital Worlds and us. Many of these humans have some small history of having a working partnership with Digimon. We might find, soon, find worlds where this relationship is being fruit. Then we're not just having the Hazard to worry about, but rebelling humans partnering up with these partnered humans with their Digimon allies. We must know the benefits of such a partnership. For there must be benefits or the Digimon wouldn't be partnering up in some of the realities that were conquered."

There was a murmur of agreement to those words. Then they began to talk about other things, like army movements and scout reports. Soon they were satisfied and began to leave. Only the one with a black and white robe stayed behind. He waits for then opens a screen and looks at the image of an old tablet, and read the words on it. "The Hazard waits for the one to partner with, the worthy one shall shape the Hazard and the great beast of rage will only be calmed by the partner." The figure thinks on this as he closes the screen. "Chosen partner? Is that where you are, have you found the one you've been waiting for all these long years? I wonder what your chosen is like." Then he departs.

----------------------------------------

KageVeemon couldn't believe he helped this human escape, but he had and hell be damn wasn't going to abandon him now. 'I just hope Davis is worth all this. I have to admit though, that shadow traveling is empowering. Now where? I think Dash will be the best. He's always had a weak stop for humans. Dash's it is.'

Not running any more, he guided Davis to Dash's place. Soon he knocked and a Prairiemon open the door, then looking at him, then said, "I thought you were in jail, Kage. I don't want to know, just go." As he was closing the door, "O have a heart! Common Dash! I got a human with me!" At that Dash looked at him then looked at Davis, Davis showed his face to Dash. "Your telling the truth, come on in." Dash opened the door for them to come in.

"So, how come you're with Kage here? I know that the closest camp is two days out. How'd you get here?" Dash headed to the kitchen and returning to cooking. "I got grab out of this tunnel where my friends and I were walking through. I just landed here and got thrown in a cell. What's up with that anyway, I didn't break any laws did I?" Davis had taken off the robe as he sat down. Kage just shakes his head, at how Davis was beginning to act. 'But I guess where he's from, it's ok. I just hope Dash humors him'

Dash look a bit stunned about how Davis acted and said, "How familiar are you with Digimon?" Davis looks at Dash and answers, "I have a Veemon for a partner and now KageVeemon's my second partner. I'm a bit of a hero where I come from. Help save the Digital World a few times. Why?" Dash look at him then at Davis, "Kage's your partner? I heard old rumors about humans and Digimon partnering up, but just though it was just stories. So, just what did you do?"

He just wanted to shout, "The Hell! He's just a human for Dobermon's stack! Don't encourage him." But kept his mouth shut, later he'll be glad he did for the story Davis told was one that was awe inspiring and quiet unbelievable.
