Chapter 6: Friendship

By: RayD

Flamedramon's P.O.V

            It can't be. Flamedramon thought as he ran through Shinjuku Park. Flamedramon didn't really know why he was running, but he just felt he had to get away. Get away from what Shibumi said They're all gone. Flamedramon continued to think. He couldn't understand why he was pulled away from his home, his friends, and his family; why in the world did fate choose him to be taken away from them like this.

"It's not fair!" Flamedramon screamed as the images of his friends flashed before him.

Flamedramon could only feel anger at this moment. He felt angry that he didn't try to hold onto the tree, and that his friends didn't even know that he was missing. Instead, a copy took his place, took his life. "I might as well be dead to them." Flamedramon said with a sad tone.

I could be dead right now, and they wouldn't even know I was gone. that thought only brought more tears to Flamedramon's eyes as he continued through the branches.

"I have nothing to live for now." With that said Flamedramon pushed on, and continued to run through the park.

Renamon's P.O.V

"Man he's fast." Renamon said as she jumped through the branches after Flamedramon.

Renamon had honestly thought that she would be able to catch up with him in no time, but in fact, she was wrong. Instead, she was barely keeping up with him. If it weren't for powerful sense of smell, she probably would have lost him by now. But even if I catch up to him what will say? She thought.

Renamon could still remember that look in his eye when Shibumi told him the odds of going back home. What she could see was that he was sadness. Hypno was probably his only hope of going back, and they even said that it nearly impossible to for him to get back.

"I know how you feel." She said to no one in particular.

While the tamers didn't tell him... But after the defeat of the D-Reaper, she and the other digimon had to pay a high price. That price was to leave their homes, and friends. When virus started to affect her, and the other digimon they quickly they would have to return to the digital world. They stayed there, away from their friends, and new home for over five mouths until Takato came back bring them to the real world. Normally Renamon would be able to live without it, but those five mouths were the hardest. She never told anyone, but by being in the real world, for so long she learned that here, in the real world, she something to live for. Here she had a home, and friends by her. However, that was all taken away from her when they left. During those five mouths, Renamon felt like a part of her was missing, and she wouldn't get it back. She remembered crying to sleep every night thinking about the Rika, and the others. She could remembered sometimes being more worried than Guilmon was about the promises they made to their tamers on that fateful day.

Renamon shook her head, and quickly started to run faster. "That in the past," she said, "but right now I have to calm him down before he does something."

After that, Renamon quickly pushed off determined to catch the dragon.

Flamedramon's POV

            Flamedramon pushed hard, not really knowing where he was going, but he didn't care. He pushed off even harder, but unfortunately didn't see the tree branch.

"SMACK!" Flamedramon flew back onto the grass, and was soon seeing stars.

"Ouch!" he said as he laid there on his back.

"I can never do anything right." He cursed himself, "I can't look where I'm going, and I couldn't even stop myself from being pulled my world." He added. "I'm nothing!" Flamedramon yelled as he pounded the ground with his clawed hand. More tears rolled down his eyes as he thought about the last moments he was with Davis.

Flashback:

Davis: "I have to help him."

Cody: "You can't other wise you'll be sucked in."

Davis: "I have to help him".

Flamedramon: "No! Davis, stay where you are."

The branch cracked, and started to break.

Flamedramon: "I'm sorry Davis I tried my best."

Davis: "Nooooooo! Flamedrrrramon!"

Flamedramon opened his eyes as he left that memory. "Why did it have to be this way?" he asked himself. Flamedramon laid there for couple of minutes thinking.  

However, at that moment, Flamedramon noticed something forming around him. "Where did this fog come from?" he wondered.

The fog that surrounded Flamedramon was so thick that he would probably be able to cut it with one of his talons, but this fog seemed unnatural.

Flamedramon adjusted his eyes, as the fog grew thicker and thicker by the minute. Flamedramon got up from the ground, and started to walk. I'm bound to get out of this fog if I keep walking. he thought as he made his way through the fog.

Eventually, the fog started to faze out, and Flamedramon soon found himself in the clear. However, the fog seemed to surround the area like a big dome over an arena.

"What's going on?" he asked himself.

"Snap!" Flamedramon's ears went up as heard the snapping of the twig behind him. He turned around, and stared at who was behind him. What he saw mad his blood boil, and eyes turn red for there standing right in front of him was none other then the digimon that caused his suffering, BlackTyrannomon.

Renamon's POV

            "Oh no!" Renamon said to herself as she felt a surge pass through her body. The surge she felt only came to her when there was a digimon arriving. "Not now, why did it have to be now." She said as she quickened the pace through the forest.

"Damn it! They have to show up when I have to chase down a depressed dragon." Renamon sighed. "Just my luck."

However, when Renamon got deeper into the forest she noticed a familiar fog in the distance. "Oh no! I better go help Flamedramon if he's in there." Renamon ran into the fog, and was shocked at the sight she saw. There standing in the middle, of the somewhat, clearing was a large BlackTyrannomon. Great an Ulitmate. I won't be able to take him down without Rika. she thought, but as she was about to back off she noticed Flamedramon standing there. "Flamedramon get back we can't take him without the others." But Flamedramon didn't say anything instead he just stood there in silence. "Flamedramon?" she asked. Flamedramon didn't say anything instead he looked up at the BlackTyrannomon with a growl in his throat, and his eyes squinted like Guilmon's when he fights.
"Uh oh!"

Flamedramon launched at the BlackTyrannomon "FIRE ROCKET!" Flamedramon cried as his body was engulfed in flames. The BlackTyrannomon held up his claws, and blocked the fire dragon. Flamedramon flew back, and land back on his feet.

"I better help him." Renamon said as she jumped up and unleashed her own attack "DIAMOND STORM!"

However, her diamond only bounced off the big dino, and the BlackTyrannmon hit Renamon in the trees. Flamedramon held out one of his hands and yelled "FIRE KNUCKLE!"

The fireballs hit BlackTyrannomon in the chest, which tripped up the big dino. Flamedramon then started to charge him with fury in his eyes.

The Tamers

            As the tamers walked towards the park, Rika's d-power started to beep in alarm. Rika quickly took it out of it holster, and examined the screen.

"What's wrong?" Takato asked.

"Renamon has encountered a digimon." Rika replied.

The entire group, except Rika, looked in shock. "A digimon, now?" Henry said. Rika nodded.

Guilmon sniffed the air, and nodded. "Takato, Rika's right there is a digimon here."

"Then we better get going." Takato said as he too grabbed his D-power.

"Which digimon is it?" Terrimon asked as he looked down from Henry's head.

"It's a BlackTyrannomon, and I have a feeling Renamon going to need our help." Rika said as she looked at her digivice.

"An Ultimate; then we better get going." Henry said.

The tamers nodded, and the group quickly started to run to the park.

"I hope Renamon, and Flamedramon can hold out until we get there." Takato said.

"I hope so Goggle head." Rika replied.

Rika looked down at her digivice, and looked at the compass on the screen.

Don't worry Renamon I'm coming. she thought.

Renamon's POV

Renamon got up slowly as she tried to fight the pain in her back. Damn it that dino can punch. she thought. However, her thoughts soon disappeared as she saw Flamedramon deaking it out with the BlackTyrannomon all by himself.

The BlackTryrannomon swiped at Flamedramon, but he dodged it, and quickly countered with a kick to the dino's head.

"MEGA BLAST!" The BlackTyrannomon cried as he sent a fireball of fire at Flamedramon.

The fireball hit Flamedramon square in the chest, and sent him flying back. Flamedramon lay still for a moment, but flipped back to his feet with rage in his eyes. Flamedramon then charged straight at the black digimon.

Why is he doing this? Renamon questioned, What's wrong with him?

Flamedramon's POV

YOU DID THIS!!! Flamedramon screamed in his mind as he attacked the BlackTyrannomon.

I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF YOU!. Flamedramon with great anger came across with one of his claws came across, and cut the BlackTyrannomon down the chest.

The dino digimon screamed in pain as blood drip out of his wounds. The BlackTyrannomon swiped at Flamedramon, but the fire dragon dodged it, and threw another punch to the black dino's mid section. BlackTyrannomon grunted in pain, and opened his mouth for an attack.

"MEGA BLAST!" The ball of fire headed to the dragon, but he dodged it.

You will pay! Flamedramon thought as he drew his claw forward, and ramped it right into the dino's chest. The BlackTyrannomon's eyes bugled out as he felt the claw hit his heart. Flamedramon pulled his claw back, and jumped back from the dino. The BlackTyrannmon closed its eyes, and soon dissolved into data. Flamedramon stood there still with eyes raging with anger.

Renamon POV

Renamon stood there in utter shock. "He…took out an Ultimate….how?" Renamon looked where the Black dino was, and thought how badly he destroyed the digimon. Even she didn't do that to an opponent. She looked up at Flamedramon who still was still facing away from her.

She slowly walked up to him, "Flamedra…."

Flamedramon turned around quick, and pointed his claw right at her. "FIRE KNUCKLE!"

Renamon quickly dodged the attack, and look at Flamedramon in surprise. "Flamedramon what are you doing?!"

Flamedramon didn't say anything instead, he charged her, and threw a punch to her jaw. "Ahhhh…" Renamon screamed as she flew back and landed on the ground. Renamon quickly got back up, and went in a fighting stance. At that moment, Renamon looked into Flamedramon's eyes, and thought, His eyes….oh no… Renamon had seen that look in many digimon in her life. It was a look of pure rage. Like a digimon she knew, Cyperdramon, Flamedramon was filled with the battle, and he probably saw her as an enemy.

Flamedramon charged her again, and threw one punch after another. Renamon blocked them, but barely as she tried to think who she was going to stop him.

Flamedramon's P.O.V.

Flamedramon never knew where this other BlackTyrannomon, but it seemed to be much smaller, and quicker than the last one. Almost like it wasn't a BlackTyrannomon. Flamedramon shook his head. No! It is a BlackTyrannomon. I'll make him pay for taking me away from my home. He threw a punch then a kick, but it still blocked his shots.

"Flamedramon stop this! Don't you know who I am?" Flamedramon growled at that those words. I know you, and you will die.

Flamedramon made another kick to the mid-section, and then quickly threw an uppercut to the jaw. Flamedramon smiled as he saw the look of surprise came across of the face of his opponent just before the dino flew back, and landed on the ground. Flamedramon walked over to the still, and pointed his claw at the figure. Now you'll pay…. he said in his mind.

Flamedramon's claw then started to glow as he powered up for one final knuckle fire, but as he aimed, a voice came from the BlackTyrannomon that sounded all too familiar.

"Stop Flamedramon! It's me Renamon!"

Renamon breathed a sigh of relieve as she saw a Flamedramon look at her with a bit of surprise.

"Flamedramon, it's me." Flamedramon shook his head.

"No, you're not Renamon." Flamedramon said as continued to hold the ready fireball at Renamon. "You're a BlackTyrannomon."

Renamon shook her head as she slowly got up from the ground. "No, Flamedramon you're imagining me as the BlackTyrannomon."

Flamedramon still held his claw aimed at Renamon ready to fire, but he was unsure on what to do.

"Flamedramon, you are doing this because you are mad at the BlackTyrannomon who started the portal. You are filled with rage about what happened, and I am sorry." Flamedramon looked at her sternly, and said

"How do I know you're not lying?"

"I wouldn't lie because I know what you're going through." Flamedramon reminded silent.

"The tamers never told you, but after we defeated the D-reaper we had to leave the real world….."

The two stood there silent, but Flamedramon still had his knuckle fire ready.

"Me, Guilmon, Terrimon, and other digimons had to leave our tamers …." Renamon looked to the ground as she said those words. "We didn't see our partner's for over five mouths….We thought we would never see this world again."

Flamedramon continued to hold the flaming hand at Renamon but in his mind, he was still seeing a BlackTyrannomon in front of him.

"Flamedramon, I thought the same way as you. I thought I wouldn't see Rika or the real world again. I had almost lost hope of ever returning." Flamedramon blinked in surprise as she said this, but he still held his claw at her. "I felt that I lost a part of me, and that I won't get back. Flamedramon right now you are imagining me as your enemy because you feel anger at the BlackTyrannomon who did this to you, because he took you away from Davis and your friends."

Davis… Flamedramon stood back in surprise as he heard that name. At that moment Flamedramon's vision, began to change. The BlackTyrannomon in front of started to morph, and change to a fox-like figure with familiar yellow fur. What…..Renamon…

Renamon noticed that Flamedramon's suddenly became normal as he blinked once, but then tears started to come to his eyes as he looked at her. "Renamon…." Flamedramon slowly lowered his claw, and the flames on his talons disappeared. Flamedramon fell to his knees, and started to cry.

"What have I…..done.?" he said as he looked at his claws, which were still covered in the BlackTyrannomon's blood. At that sight, Flamedramon's tears became worse, but he tried to hold it back; he didn't like to cry, and he didn't like when he cried in front of others.

Renamon kneeled beside Flamedramon, and placed a paw on one of the dragon's shoulders.

"I'd ….attacked ….him for no reason." Flamedramon said between his tears. "I killed him like a….monster."

"You only defended you self." Renamon said, "He was going to attack you anyway." Flamedramon shook his head as he remembered what he did to the black dino. "I murdered him…like an animal."

"No Flamedramon, you defended you. If you didn't fight you would be dead."

Flamedramon didn't say and thing after that, instead he just sobbed his tears for the BlackTyrannomon, and his lost of his partner, and home. Renamon kept her paw on his shoulder as she saw Flamedramon cry slowly.

"I have nothing anymore …." Flamedramon whispered as he looked at the ground. Renamon got up, and placed her paws underneath his head. She pulled his head, and made him look into her eyes. "Don't say that Flamedramon." Renamon shook her head, "For a digimon who is strong you are very dumb." Flamedramon looked at Renamon with wonder to what she meant. "Haven't you noticed what you have here right now?"

Flamedramon looked at her with his tearful eyes, and shook his head.

"Flamedramon… you have been here for two days, and you already have something that most would kill for…. You have friends." Flamedramon looked at Renamon with wonder to what she was saying.

"Flamedramon, you have friends here, me, Gulimon, Terrimon, the tamers, were all your friends."

"But I attacked you…"

"It was a mistake…you were upset, and I forgive you."

Flamedramon looked back at the ground, and said, "But….I don't deserve it….I don't deserve any friends. I always let…them down. Just like I did to Davis and the others….I didn't try hard enough…."

Renamon shook her head, and looked at Flamedramon.

"Flamedramon…do you believe in fate." She asked. Flamedramon looked up at Renamon's eyes and shook his head.

"Why..."

"Cause…I don't believe that someone else controls my destiny." He said in a sad tone.

"Well, I believe in fate…and I think you were brought here for a reason."

"And what reason is that…" Renamon stood up, and looked right into his red eyes.

"I don't know…You have to find that out for yourself."

"How…." He asked as he too stood up to face the kitsune in the eye.

"By moving on with your life…" Flamedramon looked to the ground, and fell silent. Renamon noticed this, and said "Flamedramon, you told me Davis always tried to help someone out no matter what." Flamedramon looked up, and nodded, but didn't say anything as Renamon continued to speak.

"What do think Davis would say to you if he where standing here right now?" She asked.

Flamedramon thought back to Davis, and said with a sad tone, "Davis would probably say to me…that I should move on."

"Then you better move on." Renamon said as she continued to look at his crimson eyes.

"But will I have ever see my home again…" Flamedramon asked.

"I don't know…"Renamon replied, "but there still that one chance you will go home, and you shouldn't give up hope about it." Flamedramon looked at the fox digimon with a surprised look. He had only met this digimon yesterday, and yet here she was trying to help him through this. It was almost as if she knew him all along, and that her words were always there for him.

"Renamon!" A voice cried out.

"Rika…" Renamon said as she saw the tamers coming out of the bushes and into view.

"Where's the BlackTyrannomon?" Rika asked, as she held up her digivice ready for a battle. Flamedramon looked to the ground when she said that. He didn't want to tell them how he killed that BlackTyrannomon. It made him sick just thinking about it. However as he was about to tell them, Renamon said, "We destroyed him. Me and Flamedramon teamed up, and finished him quickly."

The tamers looked at the two in surprise. Taking out an Ultimate was hard, but Renamon made it sound like it was a walk in the park.

"Well, that's good to hear." Takato said, "We thought you might have needed some help."

Renamon gave Takato a stern look. "I only need help when I ask for it. Flamedramon helped out plenty." Takato nodded in agreement, he knew Renamon never wanted to be mentioned as a digimon who constantly needed help, and if someone did…Well let's just say, they would be aimed for some major hurting. 

"Ahhh man!" Guilmon said as he looked at the all the broken trees that were crushed in the battle.

"What's wrong boy." Takato asked.

"I missed it. I missed the battle Takato. I wanted to fight." Guilmon replied in a disappointing tone.

"I know boy. Maybe we'll catch the next one."

Guilmon nodded and gave his tamer a smile to that comment. "I hope so." He replied.

 Flamedramon looked at Renamon in surprise. She had lied to the tamers about what happened, and how that she didn't tell them that, he went over the edge. I'm so relieved that she didn't tell them. he thought.

"Are you okay?" Takato asked.

Flamedramon looked at the brown haired boy, and nodded.

"I'm fine…I'm sorry for what I have done." He said in a sad tone.

"Don't worry about it," Takato said as he walked up to the dragons face, "you had good reasons for it…Losing a home is never easy."

"Yeah, goggle head is right." Rika said, "We understand…"

Henry nodded, and said, "We will help you in anyway we can to get you home; even if the odds our low."

"You would do that…for me?"

"Of course," Takato said, "You're our friend now, and friends stick together."

Flamedramon fell silent as heard those words. "Thank you…" he said, "I don't know what to say…"

Takato smiled, "Well you don't have to say anything."

Flamedramon smiled at that comment, "Thank you…so much." He said again, "I didn't realize that I meant that much."

"Of course you mean a lot. You're part of the gang." Guilmon said with a smile.

Flamedramon couldn't believe his hears. After all the stuff, he did, they still thought of him as a friend. Renamon's right….I do have something here. he thought.

"Well, now that we calmed everything down why don't we go get some sleep?" Henry said.

"Yeah, it's getting late, Flamedramon why don't you come with Gulimon and me, and you can sleep at his house for as long as you like."

"Are you sure? I can sleep somewhere else."

"No, it's no problem." Takato said with a smile.

"There's plenty of space for both of us." Guilmon said.

Flamedramon nodded, "Thank you again…"

Rika yawned as she felt exhaustion come over her.

"Whoa, I never thought I would see the digimon queen yawn like that." Henry said jokily.

Rika looked at Henry, and gave him of her death glare. Flamedramon gasped as he saw that face.

How can someone give off a glare like that! he thought.

Henry saw the look too, "Uh…I'll be going now. I'll see you guys tomorrow…" he said as he started to walk back home.

"Me and Renamon will be going too. See you around goggle head."

However, as Renamon passed by Flamedramon, he said with a small whisper. "Renamon…thank you…"

Renamon glanced over at the dragon, and gave a smirk, but as she did this Flamedramon could have sworn he saw her blush come across her cheek. However, it disappeared, and Renamon said, "I'll see you tomorrow…"

Flamedramon nodded at this, and soon both Rika and Renamon disappeared down the park trail.

Flamedramon smiled, there was something about Renamon that made him feel weird.

Why do I always get that feeling?

"Hey, Flamedramon You're coming with us?!" Takato yelled, as he and Guilmon were starting make their way down the park trail to Guilmon's hideout.

"Yeah I'm coming." Flamedramon raced to catch up with the two, but as he did this, Flamedramon thought of one thing.

I wonder what you are doing now Davis….

However, unknowing to Flamedramon, a dark figure loomed in the shadows watching him with an evil sneer.

"So the Dragon of Courage has arrived…Too bad he didn't die in the portal like I had planned." The dark figure then turned away, and looked at a cloud of codes he had in his hand. "No matter…I will soon kill him, and his codes will quiet useful to me." The dark figure sneered as he disappeared into the shadows.

"Soon Flamedramon….you will die."

Who is this dark figure, and what is he doing with his codes. And will Flamedramon ever see his partner again. Find out in the next chapter of A New World: The Reunion

Author Note:

Dang….I was late again on updating on my story again. I have to stop doing that. -_- Oh well I hope you liked this chapter and that you will excuse any problems within the chapter. I had a case of writer's block, and I forced myself to write this.

Anyway, I have counted all the votes, and I have the results to the whether Davis will come to the Tamer's world.

(Drum roll please) And the results are that yes, Davis will make his appearance in the tamer's world, and you can expect to be there in the next chapter. Thank you all for taking your time to vote, and give your opinions on this decision. It was very nice to read all your comments.

I think I will get the next chapter done in mid or late April. That depends on my schedule, and if that stupied writer's block comes after me again.

See you later.
