Camera: All right here is the second chapter. Please relax and enjoy.

I do not own Digimon and would like to thank anyone who reviewed my first chapter.

The Journey of the reluctant Dragon

Kokure Village

"MYOTISMON!" The booming voice can be heard all through out the castle.

The vampire sat up straight to pay attention to the commotion with interest, but he quickly slouched back down to his bored state when he saw Beelzemon standing there.

"Oh, It's just you." He murmured with no interest in his words.

Pissed off, Beelzemon snapped back. "Don't give me that crap! You saw what happened to the flamedramon right?"

"Yes, apparently that particular digimon might get in the way of our plan." He said coolly.

"I couldn't care less about that right now. He's healed and in the open, I can finally finish him off!"

"He's headed for the Angel's Sanctuary in the sky. We now know were two of the elders are and getting up to the floating mausoleum will be easy for us."

On his way out, Beelzemon paused at the door. "YES! I can't wait to fight and absorb his data!"

As of the top of his mind, Myotismon pointed out. "Oh, and it's your turn to get the groceries."

Beelzemon ran out the door screaming. "Shove it up your ass!"

Myotismon sighed as he heard the motor of the Behemoth ride off into the distance. "He doesn't even know were Flamedramon is."

Kokure Village a few miles west of the Great Forest…

Flamedramon and Renamon walked into the town to see the streets filled with digimon.

"Wow Flamedramon. We really made a lot of time getting here. It's in the afternoon."

Renamon glanced to her left with surprise seeing that Flamedramon wasn't beside her. She looked ahead to see Flamedramon walking away.

"Hey Flamedramon! Don't walk off without me!"

"You pushed me into letting you follow me, so I expect you to keep up." Flamedramon waved goodbye to Renamon as he disappeared into the crowd.

"Flamedramon, you jerk!" Renamon ran through the crowd looking for him but was pushed around just as she entered the streets.

Irritated, Renamon jumped over the crowd land landed on a monochromon with the words bus written on his side.

As the monochromon plowed through the crowd, Renamon looked around for a blue dragon with red armor.

Renamon sighed when Flamedramon wasn't in sight. "At least Grandma Taomon was smart telling me to put a tracking device on him."

Renamon pulled out a small radar from her right glove. Switching it on, the device pointed to Renamon.

"What?" Renamon quickly searched the inner rim of both her gloves, pulling out the little tracking device.

A note was attached to it and it read.

You'll have to do better than that.

- Flamedramon

Renamon sulked to a sitting position on top of the bus digimon.

Interrupting her thought, the Monochromon asked, "Where would you like to go miss?"

Renamon thought to her self as she examined the letter again.

Elsewhere…

Flamedramon stood out side the blacksmith's store thinking, 'Maybe I was too tough on her. I'll make it up to her tonight.'

Flamedramon shook his head of all bad thoughts as he entered through the door.

A bat flew at his face but Flamedramon just swatted it away.

"Welcome!" said the Blacksmith. He was a tall, turtle-shaped ultimate with a hammer. "I'm Zudomon the blacksmith of this town. Come in and enjoy yourself. What would you like to buy?"

Flamedramon swatted the bat again as it drew near. "Ya, I would but do you know you have a bat problem."

"Hey, I need digichrome body armor instead of this standard issued shell every armor type gets."

"Sure but it will cost you a lot of digiyen for your form of armor."

"Ya, I've got the money. Now I'll come back tomorrow to pick it up."

Flamedramon walked out the store in long, blue jeans and a black shirt with a silver crest of courage on the back.

"Now for Renamon's present. She will probable forgive me."

At night...

The monochromon stopped at his last destination in front of an inn. Renamon was completely exhausted from the whole evening looking for Flamedramon.

Renamon moaned to her self. "Where could he be?"

She sulked up to the desk to get a room to lodge in for the night.

"One room please."

A floramon popped up from behind the shelf. "Name?"

"Renamon"

Floramon punched in her name into a nearby computer. The computer beeped as data was displayed on its screen. "Oh, you already have a room."

Floramon tossed her the key with a number ten scratched on it. Bewildered she took the key in her hand and walked away from the desk.

After awhile of searching she found the room that matched the key number. Stepping into the room she found it had a lamp that glowed with a dim light, one untouched bed, and a crimson chair in use.

Renamon saw Flamedramon fast asleep on the chair. She was soon searing with anger until she notice something Flamedramon was holding in his right hand. It was a box wrapped in blue cloth with a single red ribbon.

All of Renamon's anger switched to a strange curiosity for the small parcel. Without waking him, she unhooked the box from his grip. On the top of it was a small letter.

Sorry for disappearing earlier. I got you a present just in case you are still angry.

Open it when you feel like it. –Flamedramon

Renamon looked at the sleeping dragon, but was not sure what to do.

She yawned. "I'll yell at you in the morning." Renamon fell on the bed the bed in blissful slumber.

Flamedramon's Dream…

Flamedramon awoke in an all too familiar white room. "Oh crap."

His body cringed at the sound of an old man's laughter. Flamedramon quickly walked away from the sound of Jijimon's laughter only to find him standing before him.

"Great, you're the last person I need to see."

Jijimon sniffed and was on the verge of tears.

Flamedramon sighed. "Alright what's wrong with you now?" he said with unenthusiastic drooling from his words.

Sniff "You're so lucky, traveling with a cute renamon." Jijimon shielded his eyes with his wrist as waterfalls arced up from his eyes.

A vain appeared on the dragon's head. "Stupid old fart! She should not be following me anyways. It's way too dangerous for her!"

"Isn't that why you bought her such a unique and powerful gift?"

Flamedramon stamped his foot on his face. "Great now you can read minds! Everything you do ticks me off!"

"Nope, I can see what you do." He mischievously grinned.

"Where are you?"

Jijimon smiled and tapped his staff on the ground. A great luminescent light flashed forward to blind him.

"Can't you see she has feelings for you?"

Flamedramon's eyes came into sharp focus as he sat up from his chair with vicious speed. He held his head trying to remember the last thing he heard before waking.

'That last voice! What did say? Who was it?'

Light gleamed from the window as Flamedramon left the room leaving Renamon to snooze off in bed.

Heading to the nearest bar, Flamedramon saw three kids playing in the streets, a guilmon, an agumon, and a dorumon.

Flamedramon turned pale and abruptly stopped in mid-strife. Painful and vivid memories flashed in his eyes.

The land ravaged with rampaging digimon of all kind in their highest form. All four sovereigns were there and all of them attacking with the horde of megas. Waves of data flew into the sky as all digimon, land and air attacked together.

Out of all of the digimon, two stuck out off the crowd. Those two digimon fought bravely together, one bigger than the other crushed the enemy in his claws and boasting more strength, the other quick and agile zipping through the monsters, and cutting them to pieces.

Flamedramon remembered that battle, what happened to him, why he wanted to become more powerful. He remembered everything

"Are you all right?"

His reality quickly shot back to him as he shivered at the memory.

The yellow dinosaur looked at him funny. "What kind of Flamedramon are you when you don't wear armor? You also wear human clothes, you can't get that here."

Noticing what the kid said, he almost forgot what he was wearing. "You're pretty smart kid, run along I've got to get my armor now."

The agumon ran off keeping a curious eye on him as he walked off to the blacksmith.

Back at the Inn…

Renamon slept peacefully in the bed with the present clutched in her arms. She snuggled against it muttering in her sleep. "Flamedramon."

"Vulcan's Hammer!"

The window broke as Flamedramon jumped through the window in his armor. A piercing beam of energy shot through the window over both of them.

Renamon jumped to her feet. Shocked from the rude awakening she asked. "Flamedramon! Is it one of Beelzemon's goons?"

Getting up from the floor, Flamedramon dusted him self off saying. "Nope, just a very angry blacksmith."

The building shook with every attack that slammed into the side of the building. "Vulcan's Hammer!" he screamed again as the ultimate lodge the hammer into the building.

"What did you do to make this Zudomon so angry?" she coughed as the attack shot up dust.

Flamedramon scooped up Renamon in his arms and started sprinting up to the roof. His sudden act startled her. She had to admit she felt comfortable, as she lay closed to the warmth of his body. She could no longer sense the chaos that was unfolding around her as she rest in his arms.

"Renamon?" The voice broke the silence of her sleep.

"Can you stand?" he asked having no idea what was happening in her mind.

Her face burned red as she stuttered for the words. "Uh…I…Yes!"

Getting a grip on her surroundings, Renamon was on a roof two building away from the digimon. She saw Zudomon attacking the building as starmons and deputeemons tried to tranquilize the raging digimon.

"How did you get him so angry?" Turning to her left, she saw Flamedramon was already racing toward the giant turtle. "Dang it!"

Zudomon swatted away the police digimon as he turned to face the dragon.

"Hmm? Something isn't right." Flamedramon stared at the colossus noticing his eyes gleaming red with anger, but more importantly a little black bat that had it's teeth sank into the back of the turtles neck.

"Mind control? How cliché is that?" he smirked.

The bat growled in response to his taunt.

"The smartest thing to do is to tear you off his neck, but I am going to have more fun battling your host. I have newfound strength thanks to a fox and I want to test it out on you. I'm also board from the last chapter of how the closest thing to an action scene was me getting shot at!"

Zudomon's hammer slammed down on the ground creating a beam of light to shoot forward towards Flamedramon.

"Hello misplaced aggression." Flamedramon deflected the attack around him. Flamedramon jumped over the massive turtle, twisting in the air to face him when he lands.

Zudomon swung his hammer sideways swatting Flamedramon to a building. Rebounding off the building, Flamedramon screamed. "Fire rocket!" His whole body was engulfed in flames as he shot back at Zudomon. Colliding into the massive turtles leg, Caused Zudomon to fall face first into the ground.

Renamon hopped from rooftop to rooftop to get a better view. She saw Flamedramon burst out of the flames. "Flamedramon above you!"

He shielded himself as a rain of throwing stars came from the sky. The metal stars bounced of his armor and lodged on to the ground in a circle around his feet.

A ninjamon appeared a few steps away from the fallen zudomon with his hands parallel to his face in the traditional ninja hand signs.

"What are you cutting in for?"

"It won't matter when you are about to die! EXPLOSION!" Every throwing star lodge to the ground exploded in a fiery blast.

"Was he really Myotismon's main threat?"

"Oh, is that who I'm supposed to kill?" Ninjamon was startled and leapt away from the voice behind him.

Flamedramon was about to attack when Zudomon's hammer sent him crashing down the street.

"Damn that hurts!"

Flamedramon noticed Renamon standing behind him.

"Yo Renamon, can you take care of the ninja for me." He said as he grasped his left ribs

"You're hurt!"

"It's nothing serious."

In anger, the fox vanished in a small gust of wind.

Flamedramon smiled when he heard her disappear with a small sound of metal on her collar. She was wearing the emerald he gave her for a present.

Renamon appeared in front of the ninja pissed off. "I won't let you survive after what you've done." She disappeared and reappeared high in the air behind him.

She folded her arms and legs in and called out. "Diamond…"

Ninjamon appeared behind her in a swirl of leafs with his katana raised. "Fool, don't use such predictable moves!"

The ninja was about to slash when he heard her call out. "Kohenkyo!"

Ninjamon quickly found himself in switched positions. "What! You can't use an attack in the middle of another!"

"Storm!"

Surprisingly to Renamon the crystal shards turned up green and as her attack took place a tornado shot out with the shards.

As Ninjamon plummeted to the ground in a spiral, the tornado caused the shards to swirl around him shredding him to pieces. The wind subsided with data flying out of the vortex. Absorbing the data, Renamon glanced at her gloves and her present tied to her collar as the white of the yin-yang glowed the same color as the emerald. She quickly disappeared.

Zudomon swung his hammer down on Flamedramon. The possessed digimon smirked as he felt the attack connect. His smile vanished as he saw Flamedramon holding the flat end of the hammer above him with his other outstretched claw.

Zudomon struggled to lift his hammer. Flamedramon did not budge but held on and pointed his other gauntlet at Zudomon's face.

Flamedramon smiled evilly as he announced. "Knuckle…"

Renamon appeared behind Flamedramon and embraced him in her arms. "Flamedramon I'm sorry. If would have acted sooner you wouldn't have gotten hur…"

Renamon stared at the same spot Flamedramon held earlier. "You're not hurt!"

"Uh…Renamon I can explain." Before Flamedramon could make up an excuse, Renamon kicked him in the back of the head sending Flamedramon flying face first into the ground.

Renamon could barely make out Flamedramon muffled voice. "Ow!"

Zudomon, having freed his hammer raised it high in the air for another attack.

"Crap!" Flamedramon maneuvered around Zudomon's hammer and made it to the back of his neck. Flamedramon reached down to the surprised bat. Dislodging the bat from the turtle's neck caused Zudomon to collapse unconscious. The bat however, burned up in Flamedramon's claws.

Every villager ran out crying. "HOORAY, for the brave heroes of Kokure village!"

Flamedramon looked at them and cocked an eyebrow. "Heroes? Oh yes, that is right. Heroes."

The crowd fell deafly ill when Renamon walked up to Flamedramon.

Flamedramon braced himself for any hit. Renamon grabbed his left arm and held him close.

"Flamedramon. Promise me you'll never do that again." Renamon buried her face in his arm.

A little shocked Flamedramon looked at her. 'I met her a day ago and she already cares about me.' "I promise Renamon."

A betamon walked up to them asking. "Is there anything we can repay your bravery."

Renamon let go of Flamedramon's arm and turn to the betamon. "Yes actually. We could use some food for our journey."

At the North gate…

Renamon and Flamedramon waved goodbye to the villagers as they stepped out of the village.

Flamedramon turned back to them cupping his hands around his mouth. "Hey! For a last request, don't punish the blacksmith. He's innocent."

Metal doors closed at the entrance as he could hear a faint voice telling him okay.

Both of them walked down a dirt road leading them through open grasslands. The road had lamppost on the side of the roads with it reaching high above them.

The lights flickered on as the sun fell to its afternoon position.

"Hey Flamedramon." Renamon turned to him with a curios face.

"Yo, what's up?"

"Why did the zudomon attack you and why did you let him off like that."

Flamedramon told her what he did after he disappeared from buying her the strange emerald and ordering new armor.

"So when I went back Zudomon charged me $300,000 digiyen. I tried paying for it in Japanese currency but he refused."

"Wait!" She said in alarm. "Japanese currency as in human money?"

Changing the subject as fast as possible, he continued on with the story.

"After that I snuck in again and swiped my new armor back. Zudomon must have found out and started chasing me. That's probable where the bat chose him for a host because of his rage."

Shocked again, Renamon stopped in her tracks. "You steal and you fought the Zudomon knowing all you had to do was get rid of the bat! He could have gotten hurt!"

A cloaked figure watched their little discussion from atop a lamppost. The figure smiled and chuckled quietly as it disappeared without trace except for a single white feather that gentle flew off with the passing wind.

"All that side it was really thoughtful of you to get me a present."

Time passed as Renamon calmed down and they settled on the side off the road lying on the grass.

Despite her fur, Renamon shivered at the cold wind that blew over their bodies. Renamon wanted to curl up next to Flamedramon, seeing this as a perfect chance and the fact he is a fire digimon and all.

Renamon started to blush as she forced out his name. "Flamedramon."

There was a small pause of silence before she heard his voice. "Yes?"

"I can't get to sleep easily, can you help me?" She started to blush uncontrollable as she thought of the possibilities.

Flamedramon sat up. "Alright."

Renamon was happy with his answer and waited for his warm embrace.

"Renamon. Do you remember the rumor I asked Taomon?"

"Uhh? Yes."

Flamedramon leaned over to her and whispered in her ear.

Renamon's eyes widen and her face turned a deep red. She then passed out leaving a single dragon laughing to her reaction.

"Goodnight Renamon."

Flamedramon yawned when he curled up next to Renamon.

Both digimon slept peacefully under the nocturnal sky.

Somewhere in the shady castles of the digital world…

Myotismon replayed the battle in the floating orb. The orb recorded. I am going to have more fun battling your host.

"Interesting choice of action." A Ladydevimon stepped out of the wall. "Don't you agree?"

Myotismon kept his gaze fixed on the battle. Frowning at the silence, she was about to ask about the cloaked figure that was spying on Flamedramon when Myotismon cuts in. "Where is Beelzemon? He should have been there by now."

Myotismon waved his hand over the ball. The ball showed a desert at night with Beelzemon sitting on his immobile bike with goggles protecting his eyes from the gust of sand. "WHERE THE HELL AM I!"

Myotismon and Ladydevimon sighed. "Idiot."
