Greymon Raids Again!

Tengumon is insane.
She spends most of the night just… Talking. About good old days that I don't remember. About a time when there were no sovereigns. When there was only the 'three of us'. Ancient Garurumon. Ancient Ornithmon, her apparent mother. And me. Ancient Greymon.
Yep. This broad is defiantly insane.
She got me to explain my behavior from hatching to now, and all the times in between that I digivolved. When we get to Black Wargreymon and Azulongmon's Digicore, she stops me. She tells me that I may be overloading. Without Tai's Digisoul to keep me regulated, I could continue to hiccup back and forth between my forms.
"Is their a cure?"
She nodds and tries to place a hand on my shoulder. I knock it away. "You'd have to give up all of Azulongmon's power."
I frown. "I'd have to become natural."
Now we're getting somewhere.
"Yes my love. Natural."
Okay. This love stuff has to go.
Digimon have a limited perception of 'love'. For us, love means only one thing, to care. So when an old bird who claims to be related to Ancient Ornithmon starts using it in a connotation similar to the way humans do, start worrying.
The 'my' parts a little creepy too.
I back away from her. She frowns.
"Why do you deny me?"
I blink. "Because you're a creepy old woman?"
"You always loved mother more!"
"Mother…"
Ancient Ornithmon.
"In ancient times, everyone knew everyone's name."
Like Digimon on the Folder continent. Everyone seems to know everyone's name. It's really quite the sinful place. But what she's saying is blasphemous to a Greymon. There is no way Ancient Greymon would be so callus as to reveal his secret name to anyone who asked! Especially someone who isn't a Greymon! There's no way we fought the Grey/Dramon war for nothing!
There's no way that I'm Ancient Greymon. This bird is crazy.
She tries to get me to stay and train here with her. I decline. Biyomon has been up all night waiting for me. Tengumon sighs. I think she just now realized that I'm promised to another. She returns to the ugly old bird that I first saw when I entered her stable. Then she sends me on my way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
When I get outside, Biyomon asks me how it went. I tell her that the bird woman is nuts. I explain every thing that wen't on in there. Biyomon frowns. "Maybe we should call Gennai."
I shrug. Maybe.
Kunai Feather!
A bladed feather almost slices my foot. I turn my bulk to face my enemy. It is Peckmon…
"I challenge you to a duel!"
I blink. "What?"
"For the honor of the Madamoiselle!"
Biyomon blinks. "What?"
"The Royal Knights have offered a reward to any Digimon who can give them the location of the Digidestined Digimon."
I growl. I'm ready to hit Bird-boy right now. "You're a Royal Knight…"
Peckmon laughed. "No. But when I deliver the carcass of their enemy, they shall accept me! And I shall again digivolve!"
Biyomon flutters. "All this, so you can digivolve?"
"I have an 80 one-on-one victory record. With a victory over such a famed Greymon, how can I not?"
"And If I refuse?"
Peckmon cackles, his eyes glare at me disapprovingly. "Then I find the Royal Knights and have them hunt you down!"
I growl. No win situation. I don't like killing Digimon. Not anymore. There's no need for it. As good as Peckmon thinks he is, he's overmatched against me. He has 80 victories one-on-one? I have 100. This isn't going to be pretty.
But I cannot allow him to meet with the royal Knights.
Biyomon shivers behind me. I growl. "When I'm done with you, there won't be enough gizzard in you to satisfy anyone!"
Peckmon laughs. "We shall see. Tomorrow then."
Peckmon disappears into a wall of smoke. I look up to the stables. Many of the Champion level Digimon in her yard are leaving. At the doorway she stands, a weird expression on her beak. I growl. Tengumon has been watching this whole time.
Biyomon shivers behind me. "Greymon?"
I hoist Biyomon on top of my skull and turn away. "Lets get out of here."

Authors Note: Is Greymon really the reincarnation of Ancient Greymon? Will he beat Peckmon in a one-on-one duel(if you've seen the Digimon Next Peckmon v. Greymon Duel, you'll know it isn't going to be easy.)? If so, can Greymon stop him without Tai? And where does 'mademoiselle' Biyomon play into all of this? Tune in next time to find out!
