Chapter 20

They were having a get to gather in the park. It'll be most of the groups first time meeting Ken and Wormon. It's been two months since they last saw Ryo and Veemon. He had E-mailed Gennai in hopes of learning about what happened with the pair. All he learnt was that Veemon is where he's needed to be, not a word about Ryo though.

He ran a hand through his white hair. Mimi was also visiting from America too, so it'll be all the original group of Digidestine, plus him and his partner. He had already explained to Ken just how he knew the kid and Ken took it ok, though Ken did faint after two minutes.

He wonders if it might be a good time to talk about the whole Armour Digivolving thing with the group today. He just hopes that Tai will reframe from tracking down Davis and giving the poor kid a talking to. He knows that Kari does go to school with both Davis and Yolei. Cody might be going to the same school too, but Cody would be in a younger grade and Kari might not have noticed him.

He makes it to the spot with boxes. He has a driver licence and a car. He just got it this year too. He hadn't wanted a car, but Revmon and the others talked him into getting one. He had gotten Izzy to help him choice a car too. His not too big on vehicles, he mostly happy that it goes from A to B. The car is a four door, yellow with red stripes, and it has seats that fold down to let the trunk have more room.

He had parked the car and Revmon helped him with the boxes. Now he looks around the park and sighs. "Might as well unpack the boxes." He thinks out loud. Revmon just hums in agreement with that and they begin to unpack the items form the six boxes. Most of it was food though.

"Hey check this out! It kind of reminds me of Leviamon!" Revmon says as he takes out one of the picnic sheets. He turns and notices that the colour is dead on. It's red with navy blue stripe running the length of the blanket. He snorts as he helps Revmon unroll it onto the ground.

"It's been a good hundred and so years since we face those four demon lords." He recalls. "Yea, who would have thought that Belphemon would have been that hard to defeat?" Revmon says. "You did make him mode change, if you recall." He says dryly. Revmon looks embarrassed. "You don't have to rub it in. It worked out in the end though." Revmon says. He looks away and continues onto unpacking the boxes.

His encounters with Belphemon, Leviamon, Barbamon, and Lilithmon still kind of haunt him. Mostly cause for those battles Revmon needed to Digivolve into SangRyuumon. He can't stop the memories from playing through his mind's eye.

(-/-/-/-)

He's a hundred and thirty-seven years old and they have just learnt that four extremely powerful Digimon have just appeared in the last twelve years. They were only just learning about this now,for Gennai decided not to bother them about this. But now it seems that they were needed and he just can't believe that such Digimon could exist, even after all this time.

The Digimon were demon lords and were still new to being mega level Digimon, but they were well on their way to becoming the new Dark Masters of the Digital World. They also know for certain that Belphemon is the weakest of the four, for it seems that Belphemon is in his sleep mode. The sleep mode will work to their advantage for it means that Belphemon's power is cut and that he was mostly defensive at this time. It also seems that Belphemon hasn't woken up yet, so it's likely that this demon lord will be easy pickings for them.

They were closing in to the building that Belphemon is using. It's mostly a huge house with a large room with smaller ones off to the side. It's new and according to rumours, it only took five years to build.

He rides on Shalindramon's back as they circle over the building. His partner uses Star Storm to make an opening on the side of the building. They land in that room and soon Revmon Digivolves into GhoraFylgiamon.

Surprisingly, they encountered zero Digimon as they tour around the house. They soon found a Digimon hovering in the centre of the large room. The Digimon looks kind of cute, for the Digimon was mostly black in colour with four scratch marks on the forehead. There was also a series of white stomps growing on the large forehead with some thin ram horns growing on the head too. Purple ears hang at the back of the head and the Digimon also has chains covering the rest of the small body. Around the neck were some golden bells.

He found it hard to connect this Digimon to Belphemon, a demon lord. He looks at GhoraFylgiamon for support and his partner just shrugs. He just waves GhoraFylgiamon to do what he wants. GhoraFylgiamon then charges the sleeping Digimon.

He watches as GhoraFylgiamon uses the hatchet and short sword on Belphemon SM. The attacks hit the chains making them sound out and at this Belphemon SM then says softly, "Lampranthus." The attack hits GhoraFylgiamon full force, sending his partner flying for a few feet before his partner recovers.

He frowns as he thinks this over. 'He only did something after the chains made noise, what would happen if the bells around his neck ring out?' He thinks to himself. "GhoraFylgiamon, don't make the bells ring!" He shouts to his partner. GhoraFylgiamon just grunts in reply, too absorbed in attacking Belphemon SM.

He just sighs and places a hand over his Digivice. He knows that Revmon can't go mega and he doubts that they'll ever go mega either. It's not that he didn't want Revmon to not be able to, it's just he doesn't see it happening. They already have enough power with the X-Antibody program in Revmon, even though nobody seems to have any real idea as to the full ability of the X-Antibody that is within Revmon.

As he stands off to the side, watching GhoraFylgiamon attack Belphemon SM. Soon GhoraFylgiamon decides to change tactics and cries out, "Curse of the Dark Moon!" He pales as the attack hits Belphemon SM head on. "I told you not to ring the bells!" He shouts at GhoraFylgiamon. His partner faces him and asks, "Why not?"

They then turn as a voice says, "Belphemon Sleep Mode mode change to… Belphemon!" They now stare at a fully wake demon lord and the virus throws back his head and roars. "That's why." He says. "O. My bad." GhoraFylgiamon says.

Belphemon then turns to him and snicker. "So, you're the boy that I've heard so much about, huh? Not much of a Digidestine. Can't even get your own partner to listen to you!" Belphemon says and then takes a step towards him. GhoraFylgiamon flies between him and Belphemon.

"You'll not lay a hand on TK!" GhoraFylgiamon growls as he stays in front of him. He then says to Belphemon, "You were waiting for someone to ring those bells, weren't you?" Belphemon smirks and says, "Of course! You think I like looking that cute? I can't even attack unless I hear the chains sound out! I was next to useless!" He sighs as he realizes the signs for a villain ranting. He was getting tired of this; it just doesn't really mean anything other then the villains trying to get themselves up into a rage.

He just tone this whole thing out and it took Belphemon a good eight minutes before he realised that neither of them were listening to him. "Are you even listening to me?" Belphemon blows. He blinks and says, "Huh?" GhoraFylgiamon just shrugs and says, "I was just hearing blah, blah, blah." This makes Belphemon even angrier then before.

The demon lord then charges at GhoraFylgiamon and with a single punch sends his partner through the densest wall of the room. He charges towards his partner, but not before Belphemon trips him by trying to grab him. Belphemon then steps on him with one of his foot, pinning him to the floor.

He hears the rubble of the wall move and then as GhoraFylgiamon roars at seeing him under Belphemon's right foot. Belphemon shifts his weight, letting him roll onto his back. He watches as Belphemon just knocks GhoraFylgiamon into another wall.

This continues for a good eight minutes, GhoraFylgiamon doesn't dare use an attack on the demon; least his partner harms him as well. So, GhoraFylgiamon is stuck using physical attack against the black Digimon. He finally cries out, "Stop it!"

Belphemon snorts and says cruelly to him, "He just keeps on coming back for more!" Sure enough, GhoraFylgiamon is once again charging the demon lord. This time Belphemon uses Lampranthus on his partner. This sends GhoraFylgiamon into the ceiling and soon that part of the wall falls on top of his partner.

You can't win! I am a Demon Lord! You can't hope to defeat me!" The huge black Digimon states. His lies under the right foot of this demon Digimon, pinned to the floor. Purple wings open wide and the horn head pointing to the ceiling.

He looks to where his partner is; he feels tears running down his cheeks. His partner is under some rubble, he feels so useless. Suddenly a light begins to leak out of the cracks between the ruined wall. He knows that his partner was Digivolving…

"GhoraFylgiamon Digivolves to… SangRyuumon!" And the rubble flies in all directions. Both him and the virus now stare at the sight of a huge red dragon with black armour running down the back of the neck, on the chest, and at the tip of the tail.

He swallows nervously as the dragon glares at Belphemon. He's scared of his own partner, for he doesn't know just what SangRyuumon will do. The rest of the walls around SangRyuumon soon break as his partner moves more into the room. He just stiffens as the great dragon opens his mouth wide and snaps forwards. By the time he realizes that he's no longer pined to the floor, Belphemon is in SangRyuumon's jaws.

As he watches, Belphemon punches his partner in the snout many times and all SangRyuumon would do is growl as he shakes his head around. Soon Belphemon uses an attack to get free and hovers in the air in front of SangRyuumon. Then Belphemon turns and tries to flee from the great dragon.

"I thought that you can't be defeated, Belphemon! Where's your courage? We're both mega Digimon, so why not stay around and fight me? Or do you like to pick on those weaker then yourself?" SangRyuumon snarls in his deep voice. Belphemon doesn't answer and keeps trying to leave the area. "Forgotten Chaos!" SangRyuumon roars out.

Energy gathers in SangRyuumon's open jaws and then as it finishes shaping itself into a ball, it shoots out of the jaws and right at the fleeing form of Belphemon. Belphemon creates a shield, but the attack continues and in time begins to push Belphemon back. He just lets his jaws drop as he watches the attack begin to get brighter and more focused. Soon the shield breaks and the attack hits the demon lord. The attack also damages the surrounding area too.

SangRyuumon then looks at him and he gulps as his partner looks at him. He backs away and finds SangRyuumon give him a sad look. Soon his partner transforms back into Revmon. He feels tears trailing down his eyes and he whispers, "For give me, Revmon."

(-/-/-/-)

He looks at the finished picnic area and smiles sadly as he finishes the memory. He didn't know just why he said that last part though, even after all this time. He heads to the car and says, "I'm just going to rest up, wake me when they begin to show up, ok?" Revmon nods his head and he smiles a bit.

(--------------------------------------Revmon--------------------------------------)

He stares around the area, especially at the coolers too. He knows that his partner was going through a memory of a fight. Might even be the one with Belphemon. He still can't get the image of Jager staring at him with a scared expression on his face. It had pained him that his own partner had given him that look. The pain has dulled, but they might have been together through a lot, but Jager still is scared that they have so much power.

He also finds it hard to believe too. Between them, they weren't must of a fighting team back before the murders of the Digidestine, but they were all that the Digital World had and they needed that kind of firepower. They were the only Digidestine that the world had; it also meant that they didn't have back up like in the past.

He sits down and leans against a tree. He wonders what kind of questions Izzy and the others will ask about his mega form, SangRyuumon. 'Or Blood Dragon.' He thinks as he glances in the direction of the car.
