Chapter 5

Guyver was there when Grim arrived yesterday, just before he left for the day. Now he watches as he leaves. Only one of the council members showed up for the farewell ceremony. He watched, as Grim was give the goblet filled with the ceremonial water called the Waters of Life. Grim had to remove the lower part of his helm it to drink a sip. Then the list of Grim's accomplishments and his battle record. Then Grim speaks about how honored he was to be give command of the assimilation of the unknown reality. The reality would get named after its assimilated.

'This is taking forever. Just send him already. I don't even see why this is a public event. Grim's going to go and delete fellow Digimon all in the want of more getting more territories.' Coming out of his thoughts, he watches as the portal forms and the cries of the crowd got louder as Grim enters the portal. After the portal closes there's a moment of silents before there's more speeches and more ceremonies before it ends.

He was just numb and just hope to get out of here to listen or read to any reports. The reports were looking real good right about now. He was motioned over by his superior Prov, the Ebemon. Seeing no choice but to go, as he joins the group of his superiors, he just hopes it's good.

"Thanks for joining us Guyver. We wish to hear about your opinion about this human running around." Prov states. He then answers, "We don't know much about it. The guards of that jail didn't believe that it was worth reporting. A few hours later one of the guards did go to question the human, but found him gone. The KageVeemon in the cell next to him was also empty. They found keys to the cells in the lock of the human cell door. By then they were long gone." He finishes. The five Digimon listened to that, then Vors, a Gryphonmon, asks, "And, you thoughts?" He answers, "The guards shouldn't have left the human alone with the KageVeemon. I'm certain that you all have heard the old rumors about KageVeemons and humans. I think that's what might have happened. They might have split up after that. The human disappearing into a camp and the KageVeemon could have just left the city." He lied a bit at the last part, but it could have happened. Prov then looks to Vors, "I think he's right. We can't dismiss the idea that there is a now dangerous KageVeemon out there. If this KageVeemon does have that rare ability, then we will need to listen around. Hunting down a shadow traveler will be hard to tasks, especially if his keeping it to himself. But just for safety sake, we'll leave tracking either of them to the tracking team that's assigned to the task." The council member, a Digimon named Xander, a Pharaohmon, spoke, "I guess we'll leave the matter to you, Prov and to your second. Report if anything important happens." The meeting breaks up and a portal going to Armith reality opens for Xander. Guyver stays with Prov as his superior watches the other four leave. Without looking at him, Prov dismisses him. He turns and leaves, relieve that the idea of the human and Digimon staying together never crosses the three mega's and two ultimate's minds.

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

Veemon watches as Takato, Guilmon, and Calamon steps through the portal. He was stunned that Rika would give Takato a kiss on his check. And as he looks around, he could see the same on the majorities' faces. He did note that Ryo's grin was very wide and that laughter played in his eyes. All he could do was wish that Takato finds Davis really soon.

Everybody turns and leaves, soon Lopmon, Veemon, and Suzie remain. "You want to play, Veemon?" The 7 year old, Suzie asks, Veemon looks surprised and asks, for he's heard about what could go wrong with playing tea party with the little girl. "Like what?" "We could ask Nabiki to rent a game system, and play that." She answers. Veemon thinks about this and doesn't see any harm in it so, "Why not. I'm just getting really depressed about all this. It might be time to cheer up!" "That the spirit!" Lopmon says. So the three go to see what Nabiki's up to.

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

Davis was wondering just what Veemon was doing right now. For they were about to be at Cassandra's lab tomorrow night. They stopped to eat lunch. Cassandra had taken his measurements to make him some cloths. He really did need new cloths; the ones he's wearing are being to smell. No wanting to use the robe until his cloths were dry.

They haven't run into any other Digimon other then the Ogremon. 'I just hope that I'll get back to Ranma's reality without much trouble. Soon, I'll be introducing KageVeemon to the others. I hope everything works out.' KageVeemon asks him, "What do you think they were talking about the other day?" He just sighs and replies, "I thought we decide to leave that sleeping Leomon alone?" He watches as his partner looks over to where Dash and Cassandra are they were both tending to the salad. "You don't know anything about whose territory you're in, huh?" That perked his interest. "Never thought about, figured you guys would tell me when you feel like it." KageVeemon snorts, "These territories belong to the Gather of Life, just call GL for short. Humans are placed into camps on their own worlds and in Digital ones. The GL has been conquering realities for like over fifty years now. There is another group of mon called the Stalkers. Their goal mostly entitles just stop conquering more realities. Those two are the major powers among the territories. There are groups of human sympathizing Digimon, they're mainly unorganized. You see, none of the realities the GL have conquered has ever seen acting partnerships between humans and Digimon. My kind has their story of just having a bond with a human, not a partnership. I think that between the GL and the Stalkers, they'd love to study the two of us. Everything between us, this whole thing is just so … weird." KageVeemon says the last part mostly to himself; Davis was beginning to see just why KageVeemon was having trouble accepting the partnership between them.

"So, they've never heard of any realities where humans and Digimon try to co-exist?" Having waited five minutes for KageVeemon to speak some more. KageVeemon snaps out of his thoughts and answers, "Yip, the GL promotes the separation between humans and Digimon." "So, even to you, my whole life is like a fantasy?" KageVeemon blinks at what he said and nods, "Yea. When you leave, you'll probably want to warn your friends." "You mean when we leave, KageVeemon. We're bubs, I want you by my side. I seem to have two great partners, and I want both to at lest meet." He watches as KageVeemon has a shock look on his face. "You mean that?" He smiles, "Well yea. Your part of my life, I will always want you to be part of it."

The moment is put on hold as Cassandra calls out to them, "Lunch is ready!" They look over to where lunch is and head over.

(V)(V)(V)

'Did he really mean it? Does he really want me as a part of his life? He doesn't need me after all is said and done. So he really can't mean it? Why am I even wondering about this? It's not like I'm planning on continuing to be his partner after all this. Right?' This goes through his head over and over again. It's been going on since lunch. It doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.

It's been a few hours and the Cassandra asks, "Just how does your device work?" That brought him out of his thoughts. Davis took out his Digivice and pointed it at Cassandra.

Butterflymon

Armor level Digimon.

Vaccine type

Insectoid. Attacks are Sweet Pheromone and Sweet Honey Straw.

Davis finish reading the information and the image disappear. Dash and him just had to grin at that the look on her face. "That was amazing! I hope you'll let me examine it, right?" He could guess that Davis was just nodding, so, "I think his willing to let you examine it." "What he said." He just grins, feeling much better.

He was happy when KageVeemon snapped out of his brooding. He just really wants KageVeemon to lighten up. He was thinking about what KageVeemon had said. He can't help but figure that KageVeemon was right. When the GL meets either the Tamer's reality or his own reality. He wondered if the GL ever heard of the Dark Ocean.

He knew that the Tamer's reality would be super hard to conquer, for one thing the D-Reaper might active with their invasion. The GL wouldn't know what hit them. The whole idea of a human using a card to power up their partners was still a bit new to him, but he guess it work for them.

It was soon evening. As they head into a shallow canyon they get ambushed. Two of the attackers look to be Ogremon, but where Ogremon where green these ones were maroon. They had loincloths that were yellow with black stripes. It was Dash that yelled out, "Six Ogremon and two Fugamon! I'll take the Fugamon. Cass and Kage, take out some of the Ogremon!" He dodges the attacks that came his way.

While he was dodging, Dash was busy dodging two attacks of Evil Hurricane. Cassandra and KageVeemon were attacking, trying to keep the Ogremon from getting to Davis. Dash uses Hare's Ear to on one of the Fugamon. Between KageVeemon and Cassandra they took out three Ogremon. He just stays back and lets them handle it. Soon the remaining four flee, they watch them go.

"So, I guess we're doing sentry duty, I'll take first watch." He said and then they decide that KageVeemon would take the second shift, and Cassandra the third, and Dash the last. Soon they were eating supper and then they listen to Cassandra give out hypothesis about how his Digivice might work.

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

Guyver looks over old relics that the GL collects. He like looking through the collection. It's where he found that tablet about the Hazard. He's found that the Hazard often split itself up. Most of these forms usually have the mark of the Hazard some where on the body. Some times it's a really small mark that that form covers up the mark or showing for all to see. He liked learning more about the Hazard. The idea that it was out there makes him scared at what it could be doing and he just can't wait to meet a part of it.

He was reading an ancient text from the Dart 23 reality. It spoke about how two Digimon, one was a Digimon named Kuzuhamon and the other was one named Sakuyamon, twins that lead an army of over thousands Digimon into battle against one of the Hazards forms, a great three tailed scorpion kind Digimon. He couldn't find a name for this form; most don't even put the name in believing that just saying a name would make the Hazard form that Digimon. He knew that the data for over sixty percent of the Digivolvations were lose in the battle. Not uncommon, when the reality faces a form of the Hazard.

Fenir brought him out of reading the book. Sighing, he closes the book and puts it away. "Still enjoy reading ancient history, huh?" Fenir teases him. "I just like to know what to look for. You know that we might one day battle a lesser form of it." "Lesser? I thought all forms were powerful." "They are in different ways. Some were rookies, champions, and ultimates. All had their weaknesses like another Digimon. The most powerful forms were the mega level forms; the Hazard's favorite was the Megidramon. Anything under ultimate was considered a lesser form of the Hazard. All had the same marking, just different sizes and colors." He holds up a drawing of the mark, the same mark on Guilmon's crest. "It's out there and we don't know what it's doing. It could be rampaging through other realities right now." He looks at where the portal able copy of that tablet. Fenir follows his gaze. "Or it could have found its partner. You're really into giving yourself a panick attack over something that might never happen in your lifetime. Just relax and enjoy you life! I always knew you had an active imagination; I do like to hear your stories about the Hazard but think you need to ease up a little. Like just coming here only once a week, not four times a week." Guyver smiles under his mask. "I like to know what the GL researchers are up to. I like picking arguments over the were the Hazard got bore with attacking that world or it was just changing it's focus to another world. I like to keep them looking and examining. I don't think we've seen the last of the Hazard." Fenir nods. They walk out of the research arena.

After leaving the building they talk about the ceremony and about how long before Grim brings that unstable world into the territories. It wasn't until a runner was heading to his way. "Sir! You're needed! It's about Grim!" They blink and then he asks, "Has he won a great victory?" The messenger shook his head, "No, Grim didn't even make it to the front line. When someone check on the health of the army, they found that Grim's been deleted! Prov wants you back at the office, right away!" They just felt numb at that. 'Grim's has been deleted. It's like my pray have been answered. This is really going to send the GL into really trying to cover this up.' He turns to look at the messenger and Fenir, giving an order, "For a Ghoulmon's eye! Don't go telling everyone. Tracker Fenir, your dismiss and you come with me." He then began to walk to where Prov will be waiting. Hoping that Fenir will get to the meeting to night. He doubts that he'll be making it tonight.
