Chapter 5
It's evening and Ranma came back with Nabiki and Emerald. She was relieved to see that Nabiki had talked to Ranma. But by the grim expression on their faces, she could tell that something's wrong. The other girls and her had went to a movie around 3:00 this afternoon. It was 5:39 that Ranma and the other two arrived at the Tendo's.
Rika was the first to ask, "What's wrong?" Ranma looks at them and then says, "They found Genma and Soun's bodies. They've been die for about three months." Nabiki begins to cry again and she moves to comfort the young woman. They were stunned at the news; all they knew about the two men were from what Ranma, Kasumi, and Nabiki. Takato wasn't very talkative about they were like. They're seen pictures of what Genma looks like as a panda and as a human. Some of the pictures of Soun weren't the most flattering. Zoe asks, "So, you just found out today?" Ranma nods and Emerald looks depressed. Renamon and Gatomon take Emerald out of the room. Suzie looks confused at the display and Rika takes Suzie with Lopmon to the Dojo.
Ranma sits down and Nabiki breaks out of the hug and sits down at the table. She looks at Zoe and then they both sit down by the two. She with Ranma and Zoe to Nabiki. The silents between them continues until Ranma finally breaks it, "BlueMeramon went to tell Kasumi about it. Nabiki did ask around to find out why we haven't received a bill from any of the bars, I don't think it was because they were …" They got what he meant, they also didn't want to push it. She pats Ranma on the back, "When's the funeral?" Nabiki answers, "They already cremated the remains, they only got to looking into who's their family three days ago. We don't even have the ashes. It seems that the bodies were quite bad by the time they got them. They only did an X-ray to get the dental records. They incinerated the remains the next day. They found them three weeks ago." Nabiki sobs after she finishes. Zoe comforts the crying Tendo.
After about an hour, Zoe helped Nabiki to her room. Zoe after wards went to the Dojo to inform Rika and the Digimon about this. Alone with Ranma, she finds that he was beginning to tear up. "I really don't know what to say, cousin. I didn't meet your father or Mr. Tendo. I only know what you told me. He was your father though, for better or for worse." She tells him as she puts her left arm on his shoulders. Ranma speaks, "He shouldn't have been gone that long. I mean, Guilmon wasn't that scary! Takato wouldn't sick Guilmon on them either! Why didn't they just come back? There wasn't anything to be scared of, I mean, sure Digimon are on a different level then us, Martial Artists. And they were attacking, but the house and Dojo were in to real danger! They would have been safer here then out and about! Why didn't they just come back?" Ranma broke down after that and she was there to help him. She could guess that Ranma and Nabiki had helped out Ranma's mom this afternoon.

The expert portaled in around 7:00 pm. He was waiting, Mane and Fenir were sleeping, for they were had the night shift tonight. Ray and Oro were with him. After exchanging pleasantry, he led Proth to the computers. The Raptordramon was soon going through the files on the computer. He had ordered that nobody to touch the computer after they recovered the files that they did.
He leaves Proth with the computers and heads to the Com-Office to see if Dash or Cassandra answered his message. A KoKabuterimon was on duty when he enters. "Guyver sir. A Prairiemon by the name of Dash sent you a video message. Would you like me to leave, sir?" He shook his head as he stops in front of the screen. "Could you play it, please?" He asks the rookie. The KoKabuterimon types something and soon the video comes up. The virus pushes play.
Dash appears on the screen. "Hey Guyver! Got your message, and if you want to talk, try around 9:00 pm. We'll be free by then. Got to go, Cass might need my help. See you then!"
The video finishes and he grins in relief at what was said. "I'll be back in about two hours. If you shift ends before that, could you warn the next one on duty?" He asks the rookie. KoKabuterimon nods and says, "Yes sir." He leaves the room; he heads to check on supplies, with so many Digimon around you could never have enough food.
After doing other things for about two hours, he finds himself again heading to the Com-Office. He finds the same Digimon on duty. He waits for the link between the realities to link up. He waits and soon he see Dash's face on the screen. He hadn't met the three that had came from where Davis, Takato, and their friends, but his cousin knew them and when they learned that he was Fate's cousin, they have been trying to keep in contact between them. Puck was busy training groups of recruits, it seems that Puck had helped out once and he found that he enjoyed helping the recruits simulate battles. Dash and Cassandra head found themselves busy with the other scientists that joined the Stalkers. So he knew that Puck was busy, for he found it hard to keep in contact with the Dorugamon.
He snaps out of his thoughts and then asks, after greeting Dash, "Have you been keeping in contact with Izzy and them?" Dash looks at him for a moment then asks slowly, "Why do you want to know?" He then tells him about everything that he found out. He could see that Dash looked horrified at what he told him. After being silent for five minutes, Dash finally says, "I'll talk to Cass about this. We'll pass on the message, ok?" He nods and they broke the link. He was relieved at this and nods farewell to the virus rookie on duty.
He heads to his room, after leaving a note to Fenir about a quick summary of what Dash and him talked about. He takes a robe and heads to the showers and baths. He plans to have a shower before going to sleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was the next morning and he opens his eyes to find Calamon resting on his crest. He waits for a few minutes, drifting in and out of sleep. Then he yawns and carefully picks up the little Digimon. He moves off the bed and then puts Calamon onto his pillow.
He begins to rummage through his pack and soon changes into a tan T-shirt with an image of a brown snake. Jeans, his D-ark, deck, and finally his goggles he puts them where they usually are. He looks to see his partner sleeping. He decided not to wake anyone as he leaves the room. He decided to get a bit of flying time this morning.
As he walks down the hallway he transforms into Drakemon when he comes to a room that has a large enough window for him to leap out of. He feels the weight of his wings on his shoulders and he could see, hear, and smell better then when he's human. His wings catches the wind and he soars up towards the clouds.
He soars through the air around the city. He was enjoying the view. He was relaxed and if he focuses on the Digimon lower then him, he could almost make them out, but unless they were large, he only saw them as tiny blurs.
After some time has past, he sees a familiar angel. He smiles at this and begins to descend to greet him. Lucemon looks up as he gets into talking range. "Morning, Lucemon. Looks like it's going to be a nice day, huh?" He says to the champion. Lucemon grins and replies "Yip, so I guess you guys are leaving today." He nods and says, "I kept my promise, and I'll keep my promise, Lucemon. What time is time?" "It's getting close to when they serve breakfast. I just wanted to get some fresh air. So, they seem nice. Do you think they might want to come back?" Lucemon ask him. He smiles and answers, "I know that Izzy would like to come back. There are others that I wouldn't mind introducing them to you and you to them." Lucemon's eyes seem to sparkle when he says, "Like Rika?" He looks stunned that Lucemon hit the mark, he blushes but with black hide nobody could tell. "What's wrong with me liking a girl? I happen to be great friends with her. So, is there anyone that's captured you eye?" He asks his cousin. Lucemon blinks and kind of looks nervous, "No, not yet. I'm still getting use to being more mature. Maybe in the future, but not now. I know Ranamon and IceLeomon are hitting it off real well. As for Rika, I heard Ryo talk to Ken about it." He smiles and they soon find a spot to land.
They head to where they know the others would be eating breakfast. It was Sunday and around 8:00 am. As he walks through the door, Guilmon tries to tackle him, but as Drakemon, he was strong enough to not fall on the floor. "Takatomon!" Guilmon says as he holds the large virus. "Nice to see you too, boy. I just went for a quick fly about." He tells his partner and best friend. He puts Guilmon down and then lets Guilmon lead him to one of the chairs. He transforms back into a human and sits. Lucemon was sitting with Takuya and T.K. He had notice that Lucemon seems to like to spend time with the Digidestine and Tamers. 'Must be because they're new. Not that I blame him, I don't think he knows any tales from when I told my story to the others. I think he might have been playing with Calamon at the time.'
Soon the food arrives and they dig in. They didn't talk as they ate; mostly they plan on saying their goodbyes. They were leaving after they finish breakfast. He wishes that he could at the very least go to his home reality to see his parents one last time. He surprises himself with that thought. He was puzzled about why he would think of that all of a sudden. He looks over at Guilmon and could see that Guilmon seems to be puzzled as well.
He leans over to his partner and asks, "Something wrong?" Guilmon looks at him and says, "I got this icky feeling that something's wrong." He nods and says, "I agree, boy. I agree." They both return to finishing their meal, but they weren't interested in it. He couldn't shake the feeling that something … changed.

She looks at the Anchor, the spell casting seems to have worked. Then the energy wavers and then crashes. The backlash deletes five of their numbers. They thought that they did everything right! How could they lose five of their numbers? There were protections to stop that from happening.
She was Tel'Sora the leader of the Inu'Dor. She was a mega level Digimon, a Phoenixmon. She was viewing this far away from the Anchor, for there wasn't enough room for her to be there in person. She narrowed her eyes at the Anchor, something had help disrupt the spell, but for now, she doesn't know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
She sighs at that, she had worked very hard to disrupt the spell. She was exhausted and she hopes that the spell didn't do a lot of damage. She thoughts turn to Guyver and hopes to give him time. She didn't know why she knew that Guyver need time for or for that matter, why this was so important, but she trusts her instincts. She lies down and falls fast asleep.
