Chapter 25

He watches as Guilmon X and FanBeemon circle his partner. Revmon remains calm and collected while staring at Raptordramon. In the end the pair stops circling Revmon and declare, "He's has the X-Antibody." He just runs a hand through his hair and turns to where Davis is studying him.

He sighs as he remembers the times when Davis called him by different letters the T with a K and when Davis got real jealous when he used to 'show' the goggle wearing Digidestine up. They did in time become friends, mostly through him never holding it against the other kid.

Davis wasn't the only one looking at him. Yolei had a dreamy look on her face and he sighs. He just hopes that Yolei begins to have feeling for Ken soon; he didn't want Yolei to join his already large fan club. He blinks as Yolei then turns her attention on Ken and seems to be doing some comparisons between the two. He wishes Ken luck with that.

Then finally he looks to where Cody is. He smiles softly at the younger kid. Cody and him had been DNA partners once upon a time, but now DNA evolving wasn't needed, or so he prays. What he remembers most was the fact that Joe and Cody became really good friends. Cody and him were just friends, even though they were DNA partners, it never really advanced from there.

It was mostly that Cody saw something in him that he kind of objected to and he knows it had to do with him being angry at Ken for toying with powers of 'darkness' and for BlackWarGreymon trying to destroy the destiny stones. He has long since put darkness and evil into to very different categories, same with light and good.

Cody had long since finished studying him and was busy talking with his partner. He sighs and knows what Kari and TK are up to without looking at them. So he turns to studying Raptordramon. He finds it amazing that Guilmon X and Raptordramon both have a slender appearance, but that Guilmon X will not Digivolve into Raptordramon. He then turns to where FanBeemon and Revmon are; they were talking with each other and then look for Guilmon X.

He finds Guilmon X with Kari and TK. He then hears someone approach him and turns to find Raptordramon much closer to him. "You're his partner then?" The champion asks him. "I'm Revmon's partner. I'm Jager." He tells Raptordramon. "Aaa, that means Hunter, doesn't it? You're quite abnormal yourself." The Digimon tells him. He sighs but doesn't say a word as Raptordramon continues. "What plans have been set in motion." "We're coming up with a separate world for you guys. I don't know much, but I do know that the X-Antibody gives Digimon stronger attacks and heals them faster then normal. I believe that a few of our Digimon might be tempted into attacking your kind for that program." He tells the Digimon in front of him. Raptordramon snorts and nods his helmet head. "We've face those problems before and most likely will again. But I like the idea of our own world. This place is just so different. Plus I think a few of our kind might be tempted into trying to take this place over. Hope you finish before one of them arrives." Raptordramon tells him sincerely. He smiles and nods in agreement.

They soon began to talk about battles they fought and began to compare what kind of enemy were the most dangerous. Too soon they parted but he promised to continue the conversation again another time. He soon makes it home and sends the scans to Gennai and Izzy. He knows that this might be what tips the balance of the sovereigns' decision to create that separate Digital World.

She looks at TK for support. It's been five days since Jager's and TK's adventure by the warp and now they were going to ask for Jager's help to get Tai to maybe think about letting them date when they're older. They know that they're too young for dating, but they just want to have that opinion open.

Patamon sighs and says, "Just knock already! We're been standing here for five minutes already." Gatomon adds, "I agree. You already know that Jager will help if you just ask for his help, so just go for it." They both just sigh and just as they're about to knock on the door, Revmon opens it. "I was getting bored, come on in." Revmon says and stands back to let them through.

"Good you finally decided to come in." They hear Jager say from the couch. "How'd you know we were there?" TK asks. "Revmon told me." TK's 'twin' brother answers without looking up. They then walk over to the couch and sit down as Revmon heads to get them some soda. They both sigh as they see the movie that Jager and Revmon were watching. It had to do with this lion cub singing a song with a warthog and some other creature.

After watching this for a good fifteen minutes, TK asks, "Could you talk to Tai about letting Kari and I date we're older?" Jager turns to look at them as Revmon takes one of soda on the table. "As long as you're thinking about dating in a years time. Tai needs to think about this for a few months and then to tell you his decision." Jager finally says. They just nod in understanding and they then sit back and watch the movie.

She lets go of Gatomon and relaxes to watch the movie. Both TK and her are fluent in English, but they weren't too interested in watching TV from America or the English versions of movies. This movie was kind of different then usual. She also doesn't remember this movie; for she was certain that she'd remember a movie that had lions was the main characters.

"What movie is this?" She asks. "The Lion King. I really like having satellite, even if I had to hack to get this stations." Jager says. "I guess I thought about how you get all the channels you do." She admits. "Isn't that called stealing?" Patamon asks out loud. "Yes it is. But we don't care. We deserve this." Revmon says. "Odd way to look at it." Gatomon says. She nods in agreement.

Jager and Revmon just sigh and Jager turns off the TV and the system. "Get comfortable, for I'll tell you a story about a fight Revmon and I had against a demon lord by the name of Leviamon." Jager says. She looks surprised that she'll actually get to hear some of Jager and Revmon's past from they themselves and not from TK. She plans on listening real carefully.

(--------------------------------------Jager------------------------------------------)

He gathers his thoughts and begins. "It was a year after we defeated Belphemon…"

(-/-/-/-)

They were still uneasy with this assignment as they traveled through the forest of this floating island that Leviamon decided to call home. They have only arrived on this floating land mass just yesterday; they have yet to encounter any servants of this demon lord. But they also can't fly to get to their destination, for they didn't want to get ambushed by either the guards or by Leviamon himself, so they're taking the long route through this forest that was more like a jungle now that he thought of it.

He pauses as he looks around the surroundings. He studies it for a good five minutes before moving his pack a bit to get his bottle of water out of the pack. He takes a mouthful and then puts the cape back on. He then puts his bottle back in the pack and turns to give his partner a questioning look. Revmon shakes his head and he then moves the pack back on his back.

They once more tread onwards to the mountain in the shape of a bull's head, complete with horns and ears. They have been traveling since dawn and it's about 3:00 in the afternoon. They had lunch by a large tree whose roots formed a cave. They had eaten some dry fruit mixed with some fresh fruit and mushrooms they picked as they moved through this place.

They stop as they hear a buzzing and they hide under some rocks and bushes. They watch as three Flymon fly pass, the first signs of any Digimon they have encountered so far. They stay hidden for another ten minute, then the Flymon make another pass by their hiding place.

They wait for thirty minutes before leaving out of their spots. They dust off and then they continue on their way. They'll be more careful now that they were in the part where Leviamon's servants are patrolling. They didn't want to have to delete any other Digimon other then Leviamon, but chances are they'll be forced to.

They soon reach a large pond with rocks surrounding it. They decided to spend time here before journeying on. They'll have better luck traveling in the darkness then in daylight. He's glad that he's wearing a dark grey shirt with black pants on. The pack is dark brown in colour with grey splotches on it, hopefully helping it to blend in with the surrounding forest.

Revmon curls up and soon has fallen asleep. He leans against the tree behind him and listens to the surrounding area. The area was quiet and he figures that the wind is responsible for the leaves rustling. He sighs as he thinks about the last fight with a demon lord and truth be told, Leviamon is very powerful, the strongest out of the four in physical strength. For that leaves Barbamon as the strongest spell caster and Lilithmon as the subtlest one.

He watches as the sunsets and he just stays where he is sitting, not moving a muscle. He hears Revmon stir and look around. He had to admit that he's puzzled that Revmon couldn't see him and he then says, spooking Revmon in the process, "You alright?" Revmon recovers and nods. He then lies down and soon falls fast asleep.

He wakes to the smell of dried fish and he opens his eyes to see Revmon finish off his meal. He gets up and reaches for his. He eats in silence and soon he finishes his meal. He notes that Revmon changed the water in the water bottles, for they were dripping wet. He grins a bit, just the corners of his mouth twitches briefly.

He soon packs out the stuff and puts the backpack on. They soon travel shrouded in darkness. They hear some buzzing, but they know that the Flymon are flying overhead, not through the jungle. It was that Flymon just lazy during the night, which works out for them.

They travel for four hours before stopping for a break. Both of them use the bushes and they then snack on some dry fruit. He notices that they were getting closer and that they might reach the base of the mountain by next evening. That doesn't trouble him much, only that they need to be more careful this close to the mountain.

They then freeze as they hear a stick crack. He nods to Revmon; his partner climbs the closest tree. He watches as a pair of mushroom Digimon walk pass behind him. After a good thirteen minutes, Revmon climbs back down. "Nothing more." His partner says. He nods and they soon are on their way again.

They stopped at dawn and they rested. He again stands guard over Revmon's sleeping form. He always has too much energy to fall asleep first, plus it allows Revmon to be ready to fight and Digivolve when they need it. He's thoughts circle around just what he'd be doing if he ever gets the chance to be in the real world again.

First off, he'll get his own place and then decorate it as he sees fit. Then have lots of money and get a satellite system. He'd hack the receiver as to give him access to any station in the world. He'd then taste test American food and if he likes it, he'll remember to buy every so often. He hears that American food is filling and he wouldn't might feeling full. On mission, he never feels full, even though he eats healthy food that Gennai prepares for them.

He soon wakes Revmon up and they traded off. He soon falls asleep, leaving Revmon to stand guard over him. He dreams of seeing his mother again.
