And here's the update I shouldn't be typing today! But as thanks to all the reviewers, here's the next chapter anyway! Well, I won't keep you waiting, so on with the story!

Disclaimer: There's no point in this… no one reads it anyway… if I owned anything I wouldn't need to be a fan of it now would I?

Last time…

"Where are you going?"

"Back to the stage. Where else?"

"Why?"

"Aren't we supposed to meet there for the second round?" I answered, raising a brow at him.

"Oh yea… right…" he smiled sheepishly, a hand scratching at the back of his head.

I sighed. Of all people I chose to play this game with, I chose him. The idiot.

Chapter 4

Walking towards the small stage we had seen Fairymon stand upon only hours ago, Agnimon walked a few steps ahead of me as we neared the small crowd that had already gathered at the door that led to the back of the stage. A man seeming to be dressed in a security guard's outfit stood there, blocking the passage way.

"There aren't any metal cherry blossoms around! I've looked everywhere!" A male character seemed to shout in an annoyed voice at the security guard.

"Yeah! There's no way there are any around here! We've all looked everywhere! And no one has found any!" Another added as the rest of the men gathered there chorused in agreement.

Agnimon raised a brow at them before turning his head back towards me to say something.

"These guys must be- whoa!" his sentence was interrupted as he collided into another character. Quickly stepping back, he muttered his apologies, looking up to see whom it was he had bumped into.

The character stood at about our height, and was dressed nearly completely in black. A black helmet shaped like the head of a lion covered his head, allowing leaving only his eyes and bright blonde spikes of hair visible. Similar lion shaped armor covered his chest, shoulders and knees, some with a thin gold rim, lining the sides of the thick metal pieces. Similarly like my own character, he wore thin black clothing beneath the armor, and the toes of his shoes pointed out like three claws, imitating the paw of some carnivorous animals.

"Sorry…" Takuya muttered again, raising his hands as if surrendering. His eyes seemed to widen at Agnimon's voice, but he said nothing.

"It's all right." The black-covered male finally replied, his eyes looking to Agnimon before his eyes ran behind Agnimon to see me.

My eyes widened.

His eyes… that voice…

"Kouichi? Is that you?" I asked, staring him straight in the eye. He stared right back at me.

"Kouji?" he asked incredulously, before turning towards Agnimon, "Takuya?"

Agnimon stood quietly, his eyes glancing back and forth between the two of us before our conversation finally seemed to register in his head. His eyes widened before he turned towards the black figure again, his eyes flailing dramatically.

"You're Kouichi?"

He nodded.

"I never knew you were into this game Kouji." He spoke, looking at me. His face was covered, but I could tell he was smiling beneath that mask of his.

I only rolled my eyes. "Takuya is the one who dragged me into this place." I replied gesturing briskly with my left hand towards Agnimon.

"Agnimon." He answered, pouting.

"What?" Kouichi asked, confused.

"Agnimon. While we're in the world, I'm Agnimon. Not Takuya." He replied, crossing his arms childishly.

Kouichi chuckled at his behavior. "In that case, I'm Lowemon. Nice to meet you Agnimon." He played along, raising a hand towards Agnimon as a signal to shake hands.

Agnimon grinned before reaching a gloved hand out to take Lowemon's in a small handshake.

Then it hit him.

"Lowemon? Isn't that the Warrior of Darkness?" Agnimon asked. Surprises and coincidences never seem to cease in this world.

Lowemon nodded, grinning.

Agnimon returned the side smile, his front teeth showing. "Well I'm Agnimon, Warrior of Fire!" he introduced himself again, this time proudly before pointing at me. "And this is just Wolfmon." Agnimon informed him, not adding the 'Warrior of Light' at the end.

"'Just Wolfmon'?" I asked, glaring at Agnimon. He grinned as a look of confusion ran over Lowemon's face.

"Fine… This is Wolfmon, Warrior of Light. The Warrior of Darkness's twin brother." Agnimon introduced again, this time adding a little more information at the end. Wait a minute. The Warriors of Light and Dark are twins? Coincidences definitely never seem to end. Or perhaps this is destiny? Nah… I'm being paranoid again.

I brought my eyes up to meet Lowemon's again before speaking. "So what're you doing here anyway?"

"Just here for that contest." He relied, shrugging slightly.

"Did you find a petal?" Agnimon asked, a huge grin on his face. He was obviously going to brag about his petal.

"No… not yet." Lowemon replied, frowning slightly. "Oh well… it's not really a big deal anyway."

"Have you met that girl who was chosen for the winner?" Agnimon asked.

"No. Why?"

"Well you will soon. That's Fairymon, Warrior of Wind. The Legendary Warriors are supposed to work together remember?"

"Oh yeah…"

Ignoring their conversation, I hit the small button beneath my right palm, pulling out the petal. Then taking a few steps towards Lowemon, I grasped his hand with my own before placing the petal in his palm. With that done, I turned around and began to walk away. Agnimon was staring at my back with his mouth agape. I could feel it. And Lowemon was just staring, surprised.

I waved a hand in dismissal. "Take it. I don't want to take part in this contest anyway."

"B-but-"

"Just take it. It's about time I head back for dinner anyway. I've got better things to do than to fight with those pathetic so-called warriors." I interrupted, rolling my eyes as I gestured to the small group of men who were still complaining of the complexity in finding a cherry blossom petal. "I'll be back to watch the finals later. You guys better make it there."

With that said, I began walking off towards the blue and black mass that was the portal back to the real world.

"This is the fourth round, folks! Gentlemen, you know the rules! The winner of this fight shall advance to the semi-final rounds! The fight begins at the sound of the bell!"

A large sound of cheers and applauses came from the large crowd that had gathered around the small arena that was now built in place of the small stage that had been here earlier. Ignoring the loud noises, I continued to approach the small ring to try and get a better view. It's the fourth round huh? Guess I got here earlier than I thought I would. I wonder if Agnimon or Lowemon made it this far…

Walking closer, my eyes finally came to focus upon the two figures standing in the arena. One was Agnimon. The other warrior was dressed in a yellowy-beige colored armor, with sienna shaded rims. Its body seemed to be attached at the joints with gears and such, giving it a robotic-type of look. His eyes were only visible through a small crack, and large carnivorous teeth could be seen beneath the small whole in the lower part of the helmet. (A/N: Sorry for the interruption! Just a small reminder, the other four warriors or water, wood, earth and metal/steel do not exist in this fanfic! They are merely players, not potential enemies.)

Bringing my eyes back up to see Agnimon, I watched intently as the bell sounded and the fight began. The opponent's hands extended and shot out, each grabbing one of Agnimon's legs before pulling them, knocking him off his feet. Reacting quickly, Agnimon raised a hand, bringing a few flaming disc-type things to appear above it. Taking it with his other hand, he threw the flames at the opponent's shoulders, causing the retractable arms to release his legs and shoot back to their rightful positions.

The fight progressed for a quite a few more minutes as I stopped watching and began looking around for Lowemon instead.

"And the winner is Agnimon!" the announcer spoke proudly, gesturing towards the said warrior. The Warrior of Fire smiled a toothy grin before bringing up a gloved hand in a V for victory sign.

I smirked.

"Now for the next two warriors! Once again gentlemen! You know the rules! At the sound of the bell!"

My eyes looked up to see the next two warriors. The first was dressed in a dark blue armor with yellow and silver on certain parts of it. Its shape was that of a beetle, and the symbol for thunder was visible on each knee. Was this guy supposed to be the Warrior of Thunder?

Ignoring the question for the moment, I allowed my eyes to travel to the second player who stood upon the arena. It seemed to be a small troll-like figure, only a few feet tall. He wore a bright red hat, which pointed at the end with a metal bluish-purple colored ball with spikes protruding from it. His armor was also a blue-purple color, with spikes jutting out from his shoulders, knees and toes.

Not really interested in the fight, I turned around to walk towards the other side of the arena where Agnimon stood with Lowemon and a one other male.

"Hey Wolfmon." Lowemon greeted as I neared them.

"Hey." I responded plainly. "Did you make the semi-finals?" I asked, facing Lowemon.

He nodded, smiling a bit. "Agnimon made it too."

"I know. I saw the battle. But I didn't get to see you in action Lowe." I replied, shortening his name.

"And the winner is Blitzmon!" the announcer interrupted our conversation, bringing all our heads to look up upon the ring. That beetle-like warrior had won.

"Blitzmon? That's the Warrior of Thunder!" Agnimon informed, waving his hands excitedly.

"So I was right…" I mumbled to myself.

"What?"

"It's nothing."

"And there you have it! Agnimon, Lowemon, Blitzmon and Mercuremon! The last four warriors whom have made the semi-final round! The four shall each face off in yet another one on one battle. The two winners will then fight in the finals for a date with this lovely young lady!" the announcer spoke loudly, gesturing towards Fairymon, causing her to blush slightly. "Now let's give these warriors a little break folks! The semi-finals shall start again in one hour!"

Agnimon looked at Lowemon.

"From this point on, we're opponents. One fair fight for the win." Agnimon grinned, bringing a hand up for a handshake.

Lowemon nodded, taking his hand before smiling. "Yeah. May the best man win."

A/N: I updated! I feel so happy! I shouldn't even be typing fanfics right now… I've got two major projects due soon and a field trip for a 10km walk in a two days XD. Anyways, this chapter was somewhat a boring in my opinion… but once again, the four warriors of water, earth, wood and metal/steel ARE NOT part of the Legendary Warriors suggested in the myths of the virtual game, Legends. They aren't important characters in this fanfic. They are mere players that look like the warriors in the original series of Digimon Frontier.

Anyhow, please review!
