Chapter 11
He had send Fenir to go check up on Fate. Fenir was quit happy to go. It was almost evening. Five days had passed and as he enters his apartment he finds an incoming message. Opening it, he plays the video.
"Hey Guyver, the lab's gone and your cousin was getting attacked by the locals. It took a few Sticker Blades and three Black Minds but I was able to help her out with a spell. She's used most of her energy to send this to you. Hope you're ready to for me. I'm coming in as fast as I can! See you soon!"
The image fades and the screens blank. 'What happened to the others? This will be tough. Hope wherever they are their safe.'
---------------------------------------
They stopped to have supper. They have been walking for some time now. He's impression of Alumet 84 was that it seems to be made up of a bunch of prairie. The meadow they landed in had been surrounded by young trees and bushes in a small valley.
He was hot; the orange sun in the sky was slowly setting. But the heat was still around. He kept his robe on just incase they're spotted. They soon take watches. Kage and he were first, then Dash, then Cass, and finally Puck.
As the others settled in, he begins to think about what Veemon had told him. 'It's nice to know that they sent Takato to look for me, so I wonder where he is? I hope he's fine. So they talked to Tai and the others. I really do miss them. I wonder if I could get a hair cut?' He snapped out when he heard Kage say, "Veemon real missed you. Must be hard." He looks at the small fire. "It's been a while, and I've had a lot of time to think about it. I just decide not to let it prey on my thoughts." Kage nods and says, "You really want me around after all this?" He grins and says, "You're still having trouble excepting that I really do want you as part of my life when this is done? Why can't you accept it? What happen to you?"
Nobody said any thing for a while until Kage speaks, "It started when …

Kage was playing with his best friend Trig the FanBeemon. They were racing around the small village. Others their age trying to catch up to them. He was losing to Trig, then they rammed into a Gargoylemon.
The Gargoylemon grabs Trig and him by their necks. "So, you can't watch where you're going, huh? So which one of you is going to pay?" He was terrified and he knew Trig was as well. He couldn't speak. "No volunteers huh? Well say good bye to the bug!" "NO!" He screams and the Gargoylemon deletes his best friend. Tears roll down his eyes. He friend of three years was now gone. "If you felt that way about it, you should have answered me earlier." The Gargoylemon drops him and walks away. He continues to cry over his best friend.

"The others also blamed me for it. So many just thought if I had done something or hadn't been so scared, he might have lived. I left as soon as I could." He watches the tears that were falling down his face. He moves and comforts Kage.
"It not your fault, Kage. Anybody would have frozen up. And from the sounds of things that Gargoylemon was just looking to delete one of you. You could have been the one to get deleted, and then Trig would be here thinking the same things. It just happened and you'll try your best to stop it from ever happening again. If those others couldn't see that, then they weren't worth being friends with. Look at Dash and Puck; they're your friends. They'll stick by your side. And if you'll let me, so will I." He squeezed his partners left shoulder. "You've beaten yourself up over it for too long, Kage. It's time to let go." "I guess your right. Thanks, I really need to hear that." He nods and they just sit there, looking at the blue moon and the stars in the night sky.
-------------------------
Guyver examines his cousin for any real damage. "Thanks Fenir." "Your welcome, Guyver. You think Cassandra and Dash'll make contact once they set up the lab?" "Yip, if only to see how Fate's doing. Some of the Stalkers have started to move in on some of the realities. They hope that the GL will either not care or divide up their army in order to keep the peace. Five realities, Arth 24, Hiros 12 and 87, Muzut 63, and Fovz 170. This will be a pain when everything is said and done." Fenir looks at him in surprise. "You mean the Stalkers have all agreed to do this? I thought we're waiting on the information about human and Digimon partnerships." He sits down on the chair in the living room. Fenir had followed him out of the room.
"The partnership is would seem is needs to have both ends in agreement. That's why the attacks on Muzut 63 and Fovz 170 are occurring. There human worlds and they're already have fourteen humans and Digimon with working Digivices. The humans are between 13 and 16. From the looks of things, there's going to be more partnerships forming. The movement is working. The most humans are helping out with information they have gathered in the last fifteen years of being conquered. Davis and KageVeemon have done their part, now it's up to us to use what we've found and make it work. I think that the Stalkers goal will be recognized in a few months. It's amazing how fast human can adapt. Sadly, the report coming in from the frontline are no longer coming here, they're going straight to Armith. So I can't get the information for the Stalkers. And your teams been disbanded." He pauses to let it sink in. "So now we just wait?" "Yip. Unless you want to go join the take over of one of the five realities." "I think I'll stick around for a while." "Thanks Fenir, and if you try to break my cousin's heart, I'll really make you wish you've never Digivolved." "What makes you think I interested?" "Blame it on knowing you too well." Fenir snorts and answers, "I just very meet the right one! I'm a wolf type; I'm looking for a strong and capable female! I just haven't found the right one yet." He thought of a moment then says, "It's up to Fate. I just hope you don't try any thing without her knowing. She was my best friend growing up."
They both stop as they hear Fate yell, "I'M TRYING TO REST HERE! KEEP IT DOWN! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU TWO ARE TALKING ABOUT BUT QUIT IT!" He didn't have his helmet and facemask on, so Fenir could see the great grin plastered on his face. "Just like old times." He says quietly.
--------------------------
It was Saturday and it was Ranma's turn make supper, his mother quit enjoyed the meal. He was with T.K. and Henry for Ryo and Ken were on Nabiki's computer. Rika and Kari were with Kasumi in the kitchen. Ranma with BlueMeramon were out with Ranma's mom. Suzie and the other Digimon were watching TV in the Dojo. Izzy was E-mailing Yolei and Cody. He hasn't been able to open up a channel with them again. Nabiki was out on a date.
He was answering any questions that T.K. and Henry had. "So, Cassandra was able to trace where you are?" Henry asks. "I thinks so, I just hope they hurry up. I really want to meet Kage in real life." T.K. nods, "So would I. So you think Kage was depressed?" "He wasn't really listening to what we were saying. I think Davis can hand it." "I think so too, I wonder how Tai and the others will react to Davis having a partner who can fade into shadow and appear out of them. We'll be used to it, Renamon does it around here. I think she just enjoys doing it." They just grin at thinking about the reactions of the other Digidestine. They wonder if Kari'll be taking pictures when that happens and if they could get copies.
"Are we finished? I think I want to have a warm bath. I've never had one without Davis being around." "Go, we can always ask more questions later." Henry says. He nods and heads up stairs.
After filling the tub with warm water he enters. Enjoying the fact that it's like a small pool to him. 'Kage, I hope you let Davis help you with your problems. I just know that the three of us could be great friends! Just put some faith in what he says. I'd help you, but I can't reach you. I hope I get a chance to know you better.'
Soon he was finished and he dries off, he feels sleepily so he tells the other that he's turning in for the night. He sleeps by Ken's roll.
-------------------------------
Morning came with friends. At when Puck yelled, "Under Attack! Wake up!" They woke to find Puck fighting against five Aquilamons and ten Birdramons. He just looks shocked. Cassandra and Dash were already helping out. 'It's times like this that make me want to stay in bed.' He thought and watches Kage move protectively.
He sits there, knowing that he really can help the others. It was when Puck was thrown to the grounds and an Aquilamon drive bombs where he fell, does Kage use Yami Head Butt, to knock the bombing Aquilamon off course. "Watch out for that Birdramon!" He yells to Kage. Kage looks up and gets ready to attack the Birdramon.
Davis's Digivice glows and the Digi-egg of Friendship activates. Kage glows and soon he appears in his new form. "BladeJagarmon!" He looks at Kage, as BladeJagarmon doesn't even look like Raidramon, except that he was on all fours. A large horn with a smaller horn was line up on BladeJagarmon's fore head armor. He had armor on his fore legs and hind legs. He also has two blades like wings that could be moved to go horizontal at his sides. His skin color was dark blue and the armor was black. His tail was long and flexible to help with balance when he turns. He just looks at what Kage Armored Digivolved into.
(V)(V)(V)
He remembers what they talk about last night. So when he saw the Birdramon flying overhead, he stood his ground. He wasn't going to lose one of his oldest friends! Not to now, and by the Hazard, ever if he had a say in anything!
So now he stands there, as BladeJagarmon, ready to use his blades to attack the Birdramon. He flexes his wing like blades to his sides. He tenses, getting ready to jump. Waiting for the Birdramon to come closer. The Birdramon turns to break off from the attack but before she could, he leaps. His right blade goes through the neck deleting the Digimon without much effort. Opening his mouth, energy gathers and out comes his, Storm Call attack. Black lightning shots out and the flying Digimon scatter at the attack. Landing by where Puck was he looks at his friend, "You ok?" "Cool form, Kage! I'm rearing to go!" He grins as turns to help the others. He runs and again leaps through the air to try his luck again. The remaining Digimon flee. Leaving four short, for they had deleted four Digimon.
He turns to Davis and watches as his Digivice scans him.
BladeJagarmon
Armor level Digimon
Virus type
Beast. Attacks are Storm Call and Blade Wings.
"I'm really liking that function. I wonder if I could copy it." Cassandra asks. "Who knows? Great work Kage." He looks to the sky and thinks about Trig. 'I haven't forgotten you, Trig. I hope you like what you see. I'm going to try to forget what the other Digimon from our home village thought. I got mon to protect and this time, I'll have the power to back what I want to happen up! And I'll go with Davis, and always watch out for him and Vee! I'll make my home with them! I won't let what others think of me ever have that great of an influence ever again! I hope you wish me luck, buddy, I think I'll need it!'
"It was nothing. I just wanted to protect my friends." He turns to look at Davis. Even if he couldn't see his face, he knew that Davis was smiling and that he approved of what just happened. For the first time in years, he felt like he was on his way home.
