Chapter 17

He sighs as he feels like someone is watching him. He doesn't need to look to know that it's most likely a fan girl or an angry guy. He just tries to ignore the fact that he's being watched or glared at and continue on reading the assigned book for class.

This class is the last one of the day and it's also October 31 today. He has plans to go to a Halloween party with Joe. Joe got asked to go to this party and with the others busy doing other things; he agreed to go with the 13 year old Joe. Joe was kind of scared out of his mind at the idea of going alone and without back up, so when Joe asked him after talking with the others, he agreed.

'Mostly just to decline the invites to those other parties that I've been asked to go too. I'm really wondering if maybe dying my hair colour and getting colour contacts might not be such a bad thing. But then, it might have the worst possible out come. They might think that it's the newest look.' He thinks as he hears the bell ring and he begins to grab his things. He soon is out of the classroom and walking to his locker.

He reaches it and opens it. He finds more love letters and death threats in this locker. He just ignores them as he stuffs them into a bag that he keeps in his locker. He notes that the bag is full and he'd better go and recycle the paper. He soon grabs the class book that he has homework for and then takes his jacket and puts it on.

He got the jacket on his Birthday, all the Digidestine but TK and Kari chipped into on getting it. The colour was blue with green, to match his eyes. But the symbol on the back of the jacket was the crest of Life Cycles, in white. He doesn't know how much they spent on it, but he's touched by the thought behind it.

It had also been TK's Birthday and somehow, they all talked Nancy into letting TK spend the day with them in Odaiba. Matt even went to pick TK up personally. He had been stunned when the others informed him that they were also celebrating his Birthday on top of TK's too. He guessed that Revmon had something to do with that turn of events, but he just decided not to confront his partner about it though.

He soon stops by a recycle bin and opens the bag to let the letters and threats fall into the bin. He then pockets the bag and continues on his way out of the school. He can't wait to get rid of his uniform and back into some actual cloths. He was too used to dressing in cloths picked by himself and not by some school.

He walks back to the apartment that he's been living in for a good year now. He unlocks the door to the apartment and finds Revmon lying on the couch watching some movie network. Most likely some American channel, for Canadian and the US have really good movies.

He heads for his room and after taking off his jacket and pack at the door. He plans on having a shower before getting ready putting on his costume. He hears Revmon grunt a greeting and he just waves as he walks towards his room.

He puts the finishing touches and looks at himself in the mirror. He nods at the way he's dressed. He has a white fox mask and a robotic brushy tail on. He has yellow contacts in his eyes and mostly just keeping it plain with his clothes. He has agolden long sleeve shirt on with white pants and runners. He checks the control for his tail and makes his tail wag.

He made the tail in his spare time at the beginning of summer. He just needed a hobby and he could probability sell it on some Internet web site. He might even sell the mask that he asked Mimi to make and share the profit too.

He grins under the white fox mask and heads to where Revmon is. His partner eyes him and then says, "A gold shirt?" He sighs and says, "Better then getting 'accidentally' spilt on." Revmon grins and says, "Heaven's forbid that you land a girlfriend." He sighs and hears the doorbell ring.

He opens the door to a Joe wrapped in bandages. "Mummy?" He asks. "Yea. Fox?" Joe asks and studies him some more. He nods and says, "Mimi made the mask for me. I designed the tail though." He pushes a button on the remote and Joe looks surprise as the tail wags a bit. He pushes the stop button and the tail stops.

"Ready?" He asks a nervous looking Joe. Joe swallows and nods at this. He closes the door behind him and motions for Joe to lead the way. They soon leave the building.

As they walk towards the party, he notices someone that reminds him of Revmon's ultimate level form. He lets his thoughts drift through that memory as they walk.

(-/-/-/-)

It's been ninety-three years since he had been murdered with the other Digidestine. He had deleted the Digimon that had been active involved in the attack. He's changed a lot since then. He over came the grief and self-loathing that ruled the first two decades of his life, he still feels guilty at being resurrected when the others are just plain dead. But he doesn't let it ruled his life like it did before.

He frowns as he finishes reading the file. He then hands it over to Revmon to read. He waits for his partner to finish reading the file and Revmon then says angrily, "How the bloody data stream are we going to take on a this guy! He's built like a tank and he's an ultimate! I don't think Fylgiamon's Collision Forces would faze this guy!" He nods in agreement and then says, "It'll be a challenge." Revmon smirks and snorts at that. "Ready?" Revmon asks him. He just nods and Revmon Armour Digivolves to Shalindramon.

He climbs onto his partner's back and holds on with his legs. He rests his hands before him. He finds riding on Shalindramon's back is very different then riding on Pegasusmon's back. Soon Shalindramon is in the air and the file on the rock by where Revmon had been sitting. He notices that the Candlemon picks it up and leaves with it.

It takes them a good eight hours of flying to reach the place where Tankdramon has been sighted. They flew down and landed by a peak. Shalindramon dedigivolves to Revmon and they then sit down. He takes out food from his pack and they soon eat it. He soon finishes off his water bottle, as does Revmon.

They repack the stuff and begin to climb down off the peak. They search for the remaining daylight and rest that night. They take turns at guard duty and once again resume the search for Tankdramon. It's not until evening that they find a trial. They decide to rest until nightfall, and then they'll follow the trail to its end.

They again take turns of sleeping and guarding. Before they leave the spot, they eat first. They soon walk the path towards the west. The trail leads to a small mining town filled with Gotsumon and other rock type Digimon.

They wait for most of the night and they're rewarded when a small caravan heads northeast of the town. They quickly follow caravan, not too close but also keeping it in sight.

They travel for a good five hours and soon they come to a crater. At the centre of the crater seems to be a large blacksmith workshop. Soon a large tank like Digimon appears and begins to order the caravan about. They just hide and rest. They have a meal and wait for the caravan to leave.

By lunch the next day, the caravan is leaving the workshop and they then move in closer. They soon find a window and find Tankdramon ordering smaller tank Digimon around. He sighs and nods to Revmon.

Revmon smirks at this and uses Sonic Breaker to move into the workshop. Soon Revmon causes most of the machine Digimon to follow him out of the workshop with Tankdramon ordering Revmon to drop the mechanical piece of equipment. He just smiles a bit at hearing this and shakes his head.

Soon Revmon leads the Digimon out and about. Then once he has the group outside, he quickly turns offensive and soon the Digimon other then Tankdramon have been defeated and deleted.

"So, you're that Digimon with that human, huh? Where's your keeper?" Tankdramon says to Revmon. Revmon just says in a dry tone, "Does it matter? I'm here now, lets see what you got!" Revmon quickly Digivolves into Fylgiamon.

"Sniper Cannon!" Tankdramon says, Fylgiamon just evades the attack. Fylgiamon uses Haunting Nightmares on Tankdramon. Tankdramon begins to fire around at nothing as the attack takes hold and soon Tankdramon stops shooting all together.

He could tell that whatever nightmare Tankdramon is facing, it's not going to work again on the virus Digimon. He wishes that he could help out more, but he know that all he could do is sit back and watch them fight it out.

Soon Tankdramon snaps out of Haunting Nightmare and says, "Is that the best you can do?" "I don't know, what you got?" Fylgiamon asks. Tankdramon then cries out, "Blast Gatling!" "Collision Forces!" Fylgiamon yells out. The white energy from Fylgiamon's attack could only mix with half of the bullets that are getting fired at him. The attack then hits Tankdramon and Fylgiamon finds himself getting hit by the rest of the bullets from Tankdramon's attack.

He watches as Fylgiamon then uses his Shadow Illusions on Tankdramon to confuse the ultimate Digimon. He bites the bottom of his lip, as his partner looks badly hurt. Soon Tankdramon has finished firing off rounds at the illusions that he thinks he sees and targets the real one.

He watches in horror as the attack hits his partner. "Looks like I win!" Tankdramon gloats. "I'm not done yet!" Fylgiamon bellows out. He doesn't care at this moment weather or not Tankdramon targets him but he needs to be by his partner's side not matter the cost.

He breaks from his hiding spot and races towards Fylgiamon. He hears Tankdramon take aim and he falls to the ground. He hears Fylgiamon cry out, "TK!" He turns to look as Fylgiamon begins to glow.

"Fylgiamon Digivolves to… GhoraFylgiamon!" The newly Digivolved Digimon cries out. He studies his partner and notices that now instead of white and black wings, red and purple wings grace his partner's back. GhoraFylgiamon has black skin colour with red breastplates on his chest and purple armour around his waist. On GhoraFylgiamon's arms is red armour with fingerless purple gloves, but the legs are bare of armour. GhoraFylgiamon has grey pants on to make up for it though and black sandals. Hanging from the belt is a hatchet on the right and on the left sword. GhoraFylgiamon's hair colour is silver now and the blindfold covering his partner's eyes is now red with purple boarder and that the horns were still the same. He notes that his partner is still the same height as before.

He watches as GhoraFylgiamon takes to the air and cries out, "Curse of the Dark Moon!" He watches in awe as a large black sphere appears from behind GhoraFylgiamon and then as it transforms into black energy and strikes Tankdramon. He hears Tankdramon scream before the virus transforms into data and floats away. Leaving him alone with his partner in his highest level yet.

(-/-/-/-)

He sighs as he notices that they reach the party. The door opens and they step into the booming house. He smirks under his mask as Joe already looks paler then usual.

He soon begins to talk with a teen dressed as a black cat. It seems that she like the moving tail too. He watches as another teenage girl dressed as an Egyptian priestess that looks to be as nervous as Joe walk up to him and begin to speak with him. He wishes Joe luck with her and he turns to ask the cat girl to dance, she might be younger then him, but he figures that nobody will recognize him, so it's safe enough.

Soon he is the centre of a small group who were interested in how he got the tail to move and where he got it. He tellsthem that him and a friend worked on it since summer and the group bought it.

Soon it's been five hours and the party is winding down. He searches for Joe and soon finds him talking with a group of four people. He walks up to his friend and says, "It's like nine, Joe. Ready to go?" Joe and his new friends seem surprised at this and soon they all were leaving the house.

"Had fun?" He asks Joe. "Surprisingly, yes I did. Despite the loud music, I had fun. Thanks for coming with me." Joe says. He nods and says, "Friends are there for each other." Joe nods and they soon split up. He had fun at the party and it was mostly cause nobody decided to give him their phone numbers or ask him out on a date.

To Readers:

I got the colour for GhoraFylgiamon from DeathXDorughoramon. I liked the red wings and the purple armour, thought it might not be so bad for GhoraFylgiamon's wings and for his armour colour. Ghora means terror, thought that explains most of what kind of feeling I'm trying for with Revmon's ultimate form. Thanks for reading my story!
