Chapter 2
Dash and KageVeemon both just stared at Davis as he finishes. Dash just forgot about his food as Davis told them all about his adventures back in his home reality. Now he watched as his new partner says, "For real? I heard children stories of the Dark Ocean, but just thought they were to scare kids into behaving. So, you're saying that not only does this place exist, but you guys beat the Lord of the Dark Ocean." Dash nods in agreement with KageVeemon. "So in your reality you have almost direct connected with this place. I too remember the stories about the Dark Ocean. To think that it can be open, I fear what'll happen if the Gather of Life finds your world, for it seems that the only thing keeping that place closed is the partnership between humans and Digimon. Can also see that they'd run into trouble with you DigiDestine. We need to keep the Gather of Life from getting their hands on you. The information would be invaluable to them. We'll leave tomorrow."
With that he returned to making his food. 'He's right, I can't be captured! I could doom my friends without meaning too.' It was then did he realized how hungry for his stomach growled. "I think I have enough for the three of us." Dash said. "Thanks Dash." KageVeemon smirks until his own stomach betrays him. "Foods done." They then walked over to the kitchen table and ate. After they ate, they when to bed, Davis and KageVeemon slept on the couch.

'An amazing story. I never heard anything like it before. I'll admit that I found myself in an odd place. I could sell this information but I could be dismissed as liar. Maybe I'll stick around, just to see how things go. So, does Dash have any connections to the Stalkers? Who knows, I better get some sleep. It would seem Davis trust Dash enough to let him lead him around. I'll admit that I don't have any plans other then escaping.' He then pushed out any thoughts out of his head and when to sleep.
------------------------------------
The next day, Davis was carrying a large pack. They all agreed that KageVeemon would be traveling around in the shadows. Davis can't help but like the Prairiemon was too carrying a pack. He was now wearing the robe from yesterday and his pack was under it as while. He was tempted to see just what kind Digimon he was, but thought better of it.
They walked down the street, he saw other Digimon also wearing robes. He had asked KageVeemon and Dash about it and the answer had been that some Digimon look quiet weird and so to not get stared at. So most Digimon didn't even give him a second glance. They can't smell him, for the robes also covered bad smells for there were Digimon that smelled bad.
Dash has his clawed glove on and he had to admit that just looking at them, they looked fearsome. Red metal claw about over an inch long. With the whole, the glove made out of grey metal that matches his ear blades, he doubted that any Digimon would be willing to pick a fight with him.
They made it to a trailmon to get to another city. They now sat in a compartment in one of the cars. Their tickets had been stamped and so KageVeemon appears out of the shadows. "So, now where?" He asked. Dash answered, "I know a mon who'd help get you out of the territories. Think you might have to be patient, she might want to examine your Digivice, Kage, and you." KageVeemon exclaimed, "Why me?" "To see the effect this partnership has on you." Dash answered. "So, what's her name?" Dash answers, "Cassandra, she's a Butterflymon." KageVeemon groans, "Not her! I heard that at she tried to 'examine' a human weapon once. She tried to stop it, but it deleted the room it was in. I don't mean destroyed, I do mean deleted. You can't want her help!" Dash sighs and says, "She's an old friend of mine. She repaired my left glove to be as good as new. She's just gets carried away with things. And for the record, the Zaps were trying to get rid of that weapon and they had broke into her lab. They made it explode." "Big deal! It still deleted a room." Davis watched as the two argued. 'Reminds me of the times Yolei and me used to fight like that. It's been like over two weeks since I saw her. Cody and the other older DigiDestine too, I even kind of miss Jun too. I know Kari and the others are all right, but I really wanted to see Takato and Guilmon fight the Dire. I hope to hear all about it, when I get out.'
Davis looks out the window as the two Digimon brought out old arguments. Things about how KageVeemon had ran into Dash trying to cheat a pair of champions Digimon in Vice City in the reality of called Lore 3. At that KageVeemon brought out points of Dash asking KageVeemon to play lookout for him while he meets with other human sympathizers, then Dash then pointed out what happened on Arrow 12 in the ruins with his friend Puck, the Dorugamon. About how they had to take out ten of the thirteen Endigomon just to talk to Core the leader. 'This two really do have a history. I've never seen a Dorugamon before, I wonder what one would look like.'
KageVeemon suddenly fades into the shadows, and a few minutes later the door opens, foods brought in. Then the worker leaves. Davis closes the window and covers it. Dash takes off his gloves and covers the door window. The he uncovers his face and takes off his own gloves. KageVeemon appears and they soon dig in.
(V)(V)(V)
Dash watches Davis and Kage eat from the same plat. He had to admit that Davis was an odd one. But then, Davis wasn't from the territories of the Gather of Life. 'I wonder if the Gather of Life hadn't taken over so many realities, how many might have followed Davis's reality into coexisting? The answers out there, never meet a human that didn't fear Digimon. I think he might even be bored right now! For fifty years the Gather of Life insisted that humans would never accept Digimon, not as living beings or equals. Davis trusts KageVeemon and I not to guide him wrongly. I just hope that we can live up to that. I hope nothing goes wrong.'
They finish and then Davis recovers his face and hands. KageVeemon fades into the shadows as they uncover the windows. After a few minutes the worker appeared and took the empty plates. Later Dash checks to see if Davis is all right and him sleeping. KageVeemon appears and says, "You'd think that this happens everyday for him. Not panicking or complaining about all this. I find it creepy, so unnatural." He looks at KageVeemon with surprise. "Then why did you partner up with him? Or do you just want the ability to travel via shadows? Are you maybe hoping to Digivolve? It's all of the above, huh?" KageVeemon looks him in the eye. "So what? I'm going to figure out how to use his device to help me Digivolve then I'm taking off." He snorts, "I don't think it's that easy. You heard the story he told us last night. It takes a human and a Digimon to be able to Digivolve. I don't see how you'll get it to work without him. I think you in for the long hale. Good or bad and sickness or health kind of thing. He's trusting his life with you, I hope live up to that Kage. He's one of a kind around these parts." KageVeemon doesn't have anything to say to that.
'The sooner you see that you tied yourself with Davis, the better things will get. I really hope you're up for it. Others will try for him, thinking they can get that power for themselves. You'll better be ready for that kind of trickier.' He closes his eyes to take a nap. Leaving KageVeemon alone.
(V)(V)(V)
KageVeemon looks at Davis. 'This is just tempary. He has another partner, ok so I might not be able to use the Digivice, but I might make champion though. I wonder how this will all turn out? So, the question is just how long will I be his partner? And am I really in it for the long run? I mean he's from a different reality, so I'm just being used as I'm using him. But Dash's guess are usually hit the mark more often then not. I guess I'll cross that road when it comes. Though I kind of wonder just what my other is doing?'
------------------------------
'I wonder where you are Davis? I'm sorry for not being there for you! I just hope next week, when Takato leaves with Guilmon and Calamon they find you safe and sound! I just hope you forgive me for being such a lousy partner. Just don't get killed!' Veemon lies with Ken and Wormon. They were watching TV, but Veemon's heart just wasn't in it.
------------------------------
The Digimon named Guyver stared at the report in front of him. He was the one wearing the white and black robe. He's an ultimate level Digimon. The report was talking about a human appearing out of nowhere. And then disappear with another prisoner, a KageVeemon. It just made him want to shake his head at their stupidity. 'You'd think that they'd wonder if his from an outside the territories, but no, they just put him into a cell and leave him there. Didn't even report it until much later. They didn't even leave a guard to watch the inter play. So, we got an unknown human that left with a KageVeemon. This is something; they must have formed a bond, for if the stories talking about KageVeemons with the ability to travel in shadows are true. Then we have a KageVeemon out there with that rare ability. I'll hold onto this report for along as I can. The Gather of Life must not know of this until the Stalkers make plans. We might even get to see just the reason why Digimon bond with humans. This seems to be the answer to our many questions!'
Guyver was a SilthNinmon. An Ultimate level Digimon, a Data type. He stands six three quarters feet tall. His face was covered with a mask with an image of a fanged face. His skin is tan and covered with brown leather with grey colored armor. He has fingerless gloves on his hands and on his right arm a piece of armor covering his arm, leaving his left arm with nothing. He has a double-sided sword and a number of throwing daggers on his crest. His hair is dark green and is in a short ponytail. His attacks are Phantom Clone and Void Cutter. The Phantom Clone makes a clone and the other attack; Void Cutter cuts through into a void. Then the attack comes out freezing cold. Any cuts that happen will get frostbite.
Guyver takes and places the report at the bottom of the pile. He's blue eyes sparkle with amusement. He was the only one that really took time to read any new reports around here. It'll take at the minimum of a week for anyone to find it. He was going to enjoy what was coming. Then he frowns under his mask. 'They planning on conquering that unstable world. The first report says it there were gaps in it, now it's whole again. I bet if you wait long enough then there'll be gaps again. That story about humans becoming Digimon is really hard to believe. I mean I can picture the Hazard looking human but even I have my limits. That's happening next week I believe. I better get some rest tonight. I have a feeling that in the time to come I'll be needing it.'
-------------------------------
It has been two days since they have been on the trailmon; it had been peaceful enough as the two Digimon talked about old times. Then they were attacked by a group of twenty Ogremon being lead by an Endigomon. The train cars had been disconnected from the trailmon.
KageVeemon and Dash became alert and began to try to open the window. Davis had his Digivice out and pointed it at the Endigomon, making both Digimon pause as Davis reads out loud the information.
Endigomon
Champion level Digimon
Virus type.
Animal. Attacks are Howling Destroyer and Koko Crusher
This was a first for Dash, KageVeemon just smirks. "That's great and all, but we need out." Dash says. Davis then notices something that both Digimon failed to notice. He then opens the catch. Both Digimon look at him then quickly opens the window. They jump out and begin to run for it.
Two Ogremon notices and give chase. Davis trips on his robe but KageVeemon uses Yami Head Butt on the closest of the two attacking Digimon, but the second Ogremon takes a swipe with his club at KageVeemon. KageVeemon recovers and tries Yami Punch. Dash uses Hare's Ear to drive the first one back, the second one attacks KageVeemon. When Davis sees KageVeemon about to get clubbed, Davis runs and rams the second Ogremon. KageVeemon uses Yami Punch to knock out the Ogremon. Dash too was finish with the last one. They turn and flee.
After getting away, they begin to walk. "You could have gotten hurt! I could have just faded into the shadows to get away! You didn't need to ram him." Davis looks sheepish, but his face was still covered. "Sorry, I have a habit to leap before I look. Besides, I'm not looking for another partner, so you can't get deleted. Besides, I don't think you fading into the shadows is such a good idea." Dash cuts off KageVeemon, "He's right, Kage. How many KageVeemon can use that ability? You'd be kind of famous. Better not have mon looking for a KageVeemon that can travel via shadows. It's then a secret that could save our hides later." Then Davis says, "I knew it wasn't a good idea." KageVeemon just sighs and gives up.
------------------------------
Veemon dreams, the land scrape shows a canyon. Looking around he finds himself looking into yellow eyes. He steps back and takes a look at the Digimon before him. This Digimon looks like a Veemon, but was black where he is blue. This one's eye color is yellow as his eyes were red. The V mark is red while his was yellow. Finally this one has light blue where Veemon has white.
Then odd Veemon speaks, "Great, a Veemon. Just what I need to dream about." Veemon just blinks and then asks, "I've never see a Digimon like you in my life! What are you?" The other smirks and answers, "I'm your shadow. KageVeemon, my name. So, now what?" Veemon just stares at KageVeemon for a bit then asks, "Do you know Davis?" Now KageVeemon gets defensive. "Why'd you want to know?" This answered his question. "Is he safe?" He asks softly. KageVeemon look speechless at him. "You're his partner?" Veemon nods.
Then the dream ends. Both wake, not remembering the dream they had shared. The shadow one looks at the human by him. The blue one looks at the sky and at the stars.
(V)(V)(V)
Veemon gets up and goes to where Ken with Wormon sleeps. He then lies down by his DNA Digivolving partner. Grinning for no reason he falls asleep.
(V)(V)(V)
KageVeemon moves closer to Davis. Studying his face and then he looks to the sky. Both moons glow in the night sky. The light red one is almost gone and the brown one is at half full.
Looking and finding Dash on a good slab of rock. He then moves and lays down by Davis. Soon, he sleeps and dreams of an adventures past, with him almost always winning the fights.
