Chapter 4

Enter the Hunters Part 1

Blane awoke at the sound of an alarm, though he had no memory of setting his alarm clock, he opened one of his eyes and glanced around the room. A small light began to flash from under the edge of his pillow, after a moment he shifted around and looked at his digivice on his wrist, it was flashing in time with the alarm, he pressed a button and a screen changed to a map. There was a red dot, he supposed it was him and a gray one off near the edge of the screen, he tossed a pillow across the room there was a thud and a complaint from Piragastmon, "Get up, there's a digimon that just came through."

"Hawh?" the digimon yawned, "They evidently don't know in which the hours that biomerging is allowed."

He pulled on his shirt and the door opened, "Blane?" There in the door was a sleepy little girl, "Where are you going?"

"We have to go take care of something," Piragastmon responded, "We'll be back soon."

"Can I come too?" Bri asked more curious than anything.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to come." Blane pulled on his jacket and his bag which still contained the other orbs. He patted her on the head as he walked past, "I fix you breakfast when I get back."

Sam rolled over at the sound of Blane's voice, "Testing, testing, 1,2,3, Sam!" He groaned and looked around there was nothing around he looked at his wrist and saw the feint light, he turned the device around

His hair began to stand on end and small electrical coils jumped from one hair to the next, and then it all began to concentrate towards his muzzle, "Electric Pulsing!" He opened his mouth and fired five cord charges of gray-ish electrical energy at all of the digimon, they were all knocked back.

"Piragastmon!" Blane called, he flipped out two cards, "Digimodify," He slid them one right after the other, "Power Up and HyperSpeed activate!"

"Oh, YA!" the digimon pulled himself up out of the ground and went strait at Greyonmon, "Flame Claws!"

"Spinning Flames!" Greyonmon began to spin extremely fast, knocked the attack aside, and hit Piragastmon full in the face.

"No, Piragastmon." Blane went and picked up his digimon.

"I'm good." He said weakly.

"Ready Winormon?" She flipped out a card, "Digimodify, Frigdemon's Ice Punch activate!"

"Ice Punch!" He fired two balls of snow at the digimon. Greyonmon easily avoided them.

"Spinning Flames!" He knocked Winormon back at Mari he hit her in the arm; she flinched and bit her lip.

"Light Shards!" Bits of light fired and hit Greyonmon directly; the attention was turned to Solaramon.

"Oh so you want to play to do you? Well then lets play." His fur began to stand on end again, "Electric Plusing!"

"Mmmmmmm," She was concentrating as the attack got closer, Bri got up and started to walk away from her and she disappeared around the corner, "Back Fire!"

All five of the pulses hit and rebounded off her and went towards Greyonmon, three of the five hit him, he was knocked back into the shadows then it vanished.

"Way to go Solaramon!" Winormon cried then they both turned white. "Winormon digivolve to," he grew taller and got legs and arms, his tri-hairs went onto his waist and his shoulders, the hairs on his head became thick hair that was pulled back into a low ponytail. He grew long black retractable claws. "Shadowmon." He flipped a belt on around his waist it tilted to the side.

"Solaramon digivolve to," She also got taller but she grew three sets of small wings and long purple hair on her head and short white hair covered the rest of her body, she fell onto all fours and got ears, "Dalayamon!" A necklace fell over her head and around her neck, then she came up on to her back legs, "Hey we're taller! And I have wings!" She flapped her wings several times and took to the air.

"Shadowmon and Dalayamon," Sam looked at his digivice, "Humanoid creature rookie digimon, their attacks are for Shadowmon, Dark Lightning and Darkening Pinnacle. For Dalayamon, Crystal Fragments and Falling Stars Light."

"Cool more rookies on the block!" Piragastmon said.

"Hey," lighting interrupted Blane, rain began to fall, "What happened to Bri?"

Dalayamon landed, she went back onto all fours, "She ran off when I was attacked."

"What are we gonna do about the orbs that Greyonmon took?" Sam asked.

"Nothing right now, we have to find Bri." Blane started to run in the general direction that Bri had disappeared.

In the park

Bri huddled under a tree and shivered, she was trying to hide from the rain and from the Bakumon that was wandering around the park, "Why did I run away from Blane and the others I would have been saver there."

"I see you." the Bakumon said then came right at her, she got up and started to run then she tripped and hit the ground, she started to cry. "Oh, how sad, its time to go away forever little human."

"Oh no you don't, Binding Rings!" A cat like digimon came out of the bushes and flung four rings and the other digimon.

"Wha' Tiloamon! You were with me in this what are you doing!"

"Twin Tail Strike!" Her double tipped tail came around and hit the digimon it burst into data, she let it fly away and went over to Bri. "Are you okay?" She helped her back to her feet.

Bri looked her over, she was a light blue-ish white feline creature her ears had split tips, white gloves over her claws that came up to her elbows, and her tail had two ends each with an arrow head tip on the end of them, there were three golden rings around both of her wrists, and a crescent moon on her forehead. "Thank you Tiloamon, Rookie level right?"

She nodded, "Are you lost?" She was about as tall as she was. Bri nodded. "I can help you to find your friends that you were with earlier."

"No I think that I just want to get home." Bri looked around, "I think it's this way." Tiloamon followed her and helped her whenever she felt lost. Soon they were back home. "Thank you."

She nodded and began to walk away, "Wait!" Bri cried, she turned back around, "your all wet would you like to come in an dry off before you leave?"

"That would be nice thank you." She walked inside the house and Bri shut the door. Once the door was shut, something in her pocket began to glow, she reached inside and pulled out the orb, it morphed into a digivice, Tiloamon looked at it oddly, "Does this mean that I won't be leaving anytime soon?"

Blane outside his house with the others

"I hate rain." Piragastmon said he was hiding underneath Dalayamon.

"That was the fifth time you've said that." Blane responded, 'we looked everywhere but home. Please be here.'

He opened the door and found her shoes, "Thank god. Bri!"

She came out of the kitchen with a plate with two sodas and a sandwich cut in half, "Hi Blane, I'm fine, I got help to get home."

"From WHO?" Blane cried.

"Tiloamon." She responded simply then walked into the front room and put the tray on the table in front of someone who was wrapped in a towel.

"Who?" Shadowmon asked.

"Me," Tiloamon turned her head towards them, she jumped up onto the couch back, "I'm Tiloamon."

"Hey are you my twin?" Dalayamon asked as she sat down.

"No I'm far more superior in attack strength, due to the fact that I have been a rookie longer than any of you." She went back down next to Bri, and took one of the sandwich halves and took a bite of it.

"What are you still doing here?" Blane asked. "Thank you for bringing her back but you can leave now."

"No she can't," Bri stated, "She's mine like Piragastmon's yours."

"Wha' no way!" He went over to her and looked at her arm, there was a white and black digivice, "You can't be a tamer, your just a kid."

"There is no way to reverse this," Tiloamon commented, "I am hers and she is mine, and no matter of wishing can change that."

Blane took a deep breath, "You are just here to protect her right?" Tiloamon nodded, "Good, as long as you don't come around and try to fight with us."

"I won't." She commented then took a drink of soda, "Unless you're losing, like you were before, your lucky that Dalayamon could do Back Fire."

"You saw our fight?" Sam asked.

"Yes that was how I found Bri." She finished her soda.

The phone rang; Blane picked it up, "Hello?"

"Hey hon' what are you up for?" she asked, "Well there was an emergency call from work so could you take Bri to school this morning?"

"Ya mom, sure, See ya later."

"What was that about," Bri asked, "Is mom not gonna be home soon?" Blane shook his head.

"She wants me to take you to school," Blane shook his head, "She didn't remember that you don't have school today. I guess that I'll," He paused and looked at Tiloamon, "Could you watch her til' I got home from school."

"It is my job as her digimon." She said to his most obvious question.

"Why not ditch like you always do?" Sam asked sarcastically.

"Shut it," Sam walked to the door and left, Mari was about to follow when Blane put his hand on her shoulder, she flinched, "Hey you okay, it looked like it hurt when Winormon hit you."

"Ya, I'm fine," She lied, "Why do you care?"

Blane just shrugged and walked out of the house, Mari was about to leave when Tiloamon spoke, "Your not okay, I can tell when someone is lying, but its not from Shadowmon." she said then looked at her with her blue eyes, "it would be best if you told him the truth."

Mari walked out of the house, Sam was far ahead of her, but Blane was next to the door, "Look I'll be fine it didn't hurt that bad."

"Then why did you flinch when I touched your arm?" He asked then walked away.

She hadn't realized that she had, she had grown so use to her parents beating her that she flinched at even the simplest of touch. She ran to catch up to Blane. Piragastmon, Shadowmon, and Dalayamon followed them; Iceemon was hiding in Sam's bag.

Riku

"What have you brought me?" Riku asked and looked at the single orb on the desk.

"These are what turn into the digivices, once I touched one it changed into this," She held out her arm showing the green and black digivice, " If you use the cards they will give more power to your digimon,"

"We will use these two to study and make more," He said, "You are dismissed."

She left the room and saw Greyonmon sitting outside of the door and he followed her, out of the building, "Greyonmon, you know that you can't come with me to school."

"I was just thinking of following you to school and sitting outside like a good puppy." He responded.

"I don't think so."

School

Blane kept his eyes on Mari, he was sure that what Winor, Shadowmon had told him was true, but how was he going to get her to tell the truth? On the other hand, was he just going to have to wait for her to come out and tell him. But that may take her forever before she decides to do that.

"Blane!" It was Piragastmon, he put a hand on his tamer's shoulder, "No worries my friend, I have a solution to our problem."

He looked at his digimon skeptically, "Why are you even here, I told you not to come to school."

"I know that's the problem that I've solved, kay there is this old abandon thing over in the park, we could stay there or we could stay a little closer there's a warehouse next door, we could stay there."

"It's not abandoned though."

"Not yet." The floating fire ball was grinning.

"No setting anyone or anything on fire in there."

"Yes!" the digimon went over towards the others that were following further behind, they all started towards the warehouse and they seemed a little too happy to be doing this but he shrugged it off and walked towards the school.

Elsewhere

Blane's mother walked up another set of stairs, and nodded to two of the scientists that were going back down to the labs where they were holding several live specimens of digimon.

"I'm here sir." She said to the man that was sitting with his back to her in a chair behind a desk.

"Mrs. Osoguro, isn't it?" She nodded, "Well you are suppose to be watching the monitors for any strange activity other than the usual prospect of a wild one coming through correct?" again she nodded. "Then explain to me this." He pressed a button on his desk, a screen lowered itself and the data began to read out, it was at a normal level then it shot up, higher than what it would usually do for a normal wild one. "This record was taken this morning near the docks, I want you to work on figuring out this…problem, them you will inform me of your findings."

She took a deep breath and slumped into her desk, after she booted up her computer she opened it to the current data file to see if it had happened again, recently, she found nothing so she started to work on de-structuring the information that she had.

School

They all went off at once and the teacher walked towards them.

"Umm," They all began, "Bathroom!" they all jumped from their seats and ran from the room, Blane was the last out, "We'll be back shortly."

"Hey, if we're lucky we won't get expelled from school," Sam said sarcastically.

Mari didn't hear him, she had seen someone else come from their class at the exact time that they had. She turned back to the others, "They evidently don't know the hours in which biomerging is allowed."

"Have you been talking to Piragastmon?" Blane asked opening the front door where the four digimon stood waiting to join them.

AN: Well enjoyable as that may be we had to end it somewhere.

The next chapter will be where they may meet there mysterious opponent or something…worse. R&R.
