Secret Spy Guy: Wow...I typed out my whole name. Isn't that great? Well I have a question for you. There are two ways I can end the Kudamon arc. There's the part with caracter death, and the part without. None of the really main charaters like Danny, Sam, Tucker and all their digimon, but one of the other good digimon in the arc. I already have the death one typed up, and they're digimon. They'll come back. But if you want it to take longer I can retype the whole chapter and prevent the death from happening, but that kinda messes the story up a little. But I can deal.
I'm pressed for time right now because I'm--Oh crap! He's coming! He's coming! One moment...Ok. Sorry about that. I'm inmy computor class and Ireally have to get back to work. (I'm not passing so well) So I can't respond to any reviews, but next chapter I'll answer all of them ok? Ok. So please answer the question above...one moment...ok. And I'm not going tobring Valerie or Vlad in right now. Maybe much much later. Maybe...one moment...ok. So hope you like this chapter. I wrote this at 11:00 at night. Whee!
"So Mr. Fenton." Mr. Lancer asked Danny after they had found refuge in the Nasty Burger with the rest of the students. "What exactly happened back there?" Danny gulped.
"I really don't want to talk about it." He replied nervously.
"Danny, those things knew you. And more importantly they were after you too. You're one of my students, and it's my job as your teacher to find out what's going on and protect you."
"I can handle it." Danny said. "I've been handling it so far."
"But Mr. Fenton…" Mr. Lancer began, but the boy cut him off.
"You just have to trust me Mr. Lancer." He said. "I can do this." And with that Danny pulled away from the teacher and sat at the table with Tucker and Kapurimon.
"I hope Blackgaurumon is ok." Danny sighed.
"And Sam too." Tucker said. "I hope nothing happens to them."
"They'll be ok Tucker." Kapurimon reassured. "From what I've seen of Kudamon, he's a very powerful digimon, so his champion form must be unstoppable."
"I hope you're right." Tucker sighed. Then a random voice shouted,
"Dance off!" Kapurimon's eyes widened.
"I can break dance!" he shouted, as he began to jump away, but Tucker grabbed him by the tail.
"You are not break dancing!" He shouted.
"Someday…" The puff ball whispered.
Kudamon and Sam reached the outskirts of Amity park. It was a near ghost town of closed and empty shops.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?" Sam asked. The fox nodded.
"It looks a little different, but I can tell this is the place. There it is! Right over there!" He shouted. Kudamon jumped from Sam's arms and ran on his two front legs, as fast as he could, his spectral tail billowing behind him.
"Renamon!" Kudamon cried. The café door was swinging open in the wind. He ran inside, Sam racing after him.
Cobwebs and dust covered nearly empty book shelves. Old tables were left all alone in the center of the small building. A rat squeaked and hid in a hole in the wall. Kudamon made his way to a small door in the back. Slowly he pushed it open with his paw.
"Renamon?" He asked quietly. There was faint sobbing from inside.
"Go away." Was the reply.
"I'm not going to go away. This is my home too." Kudamon persisted.
"No it's not. Not any more." The voice sobbed. "You live in that mansion. With that girl. You no longer have the virus inside you."
"But neither do you." Kudamon whispered.
"But I have a different one." Came the broken reply. "A new one. Wisemon put it there. He put it there so I was tethered to him. And the only way I'll ever be free is if I find the human who holds my spirit key. But I'm trapped. I can't go looking for it. Something keeps stopping me!" The sobs became considerably louder.
"Renamon…" Kudamon sighed.
"Stop calling me that! I'm Blackkyubimon! I'm a virus type now! Wisemon did that to me!" She shouted.
"But to me you're Renamon. And you'll always be Renamon."
"Renamon was free!" Blackkyubimon cried. "I'm not!"
"I can help you." Kudamon begged. "Please let me help you."
"I'm sorry, but I have to go back…" She whispered. "It's all I know now."
"You don't have to go back…"
"Yes I do."
"No you don't!"
"What do you know!" Blackkyubimon then ran from the room and stared Kudamon in the face.
"You live in that fancy house protected by all your pretty friends! While I was forced to work for Wisemon! Do you understand how hard that is!"
"Renamon…" He whispered.
"I'm not Renamon!" She shook her head around fiercely, until the plastic bead necklace fell off and hit the floor with a clatter.
"This belongs to Renamon!" Blackkyubimon sobbed. "Go find her! And leave me alone!" She then pushed past the small fox and tore through the old shop, knocking a book off one of the shelves. Kudamon watched as she left, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Renamon!" He cried. "Renamon!" But there was no reply. Sam then came in.
"Kudamon?" She asked.
"Oh Raven!" the fox sobbed as he slowly padded over to her. "There's nothing I can do. She's in trouble, but she won't let us help her. We can help her, but she won't listen."
"It's ok." Sam said. "It will be ok."
"She left the necklace I found for her. I gave it to her. I gave it to Renamon!" The fox leaned against Sam's leg and cried. She then picked him up.
"Let's go find Danny and Tucker. They'll be at the Nasty Burger. I hope." And with that the two left. But not before Sam picked up the necklace and placed it around her partners neck.
"You'll be needing this." She whispered. "I know it."
"The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies,
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies,
When love is done."

The Night has a Thousand Eyes
In the days after, Kudamon rarely left the house. As Kyaromon, he would twist the beads on the necklace with his tail for endless hours, sighing all the while. Sam would sometimes catch him reading "The Raven" Over and over again, whispering some of the words out loud. It made Sam upset to see him so sad, but no matter what she tried to do, the fox wouldn't come out of it.
"There's gotta be something I can do for him. Something to make him feel better." But nothing would come to mind. And so Kyaromon just moped around, pining for his Renamon.
"Danny?" Blacktsunomon asked one night while the boy was getting ready for bed. "Do you think that the digital world will ever be safe again?"
"I don't know." Was his reply. "There would have to be some kind of resistance there. Led by a strong leader. Someone brave."
"I knew a lot of brave people once." The puff ball said. "But the one that I know would have made it through all this would have to be Patamon. He digivolved to Angemon. Angemon saved us quite a few times. He is the strongest of all champions. I know he was very brave. He was partner to Matt's brother, T.K."
"Were there a lot of other digidestineds?" Danny asked.
"Yes. There were ones all over the world, but the ones that I knew were the true chosen ones. This was before the spirit keys were discovered. Back then there were only crests, and there weren't many of them. Tai had the crest of courage. His partner was an Agumon. Tai was always getting teased about his big hair. Then there was Sora with the crest of love, and her partner, Biyomon. I always thought she had a crush on Tai, but she ended up marrying Matt. And then Mimi and Palmon with the crest of Sincerity. Joe had the crest of reliability. He and his partner Gommamon were complete opposites. Izzy had the crest of knowledge. His partner was Tentomon. There was T.K and Patamon with the crest of hope. Kari was Tai's sister. Gatomon was her partner. She had the crest of light." Blacktsunomon said.
"Is Gatomon a white cat with large ears and two yellow gloves with large claws?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"I got attacked by her the other day."
Blacktsunomon sighed.
"Well…when your partner dies, sometimes it's hard to find a new one, and Gatomon…never had a childhood. She grew up under the watchful eye of the evil Myotismon. So I guess, maybe when Kari died, she just went back to her old ways. Even I came under hard times. Wisemon got me. She was lucky that she escaped."
"Were there any others?" Danny asked.
"Later on in the years a new evil appeared. So new digidestined came forward to fight it. There was Davis and Veemon. Yolei and Hawkmon and Cody and Armadillomon. Then soon along came Ken and his partner Wormmon. He had the crest of kindness. I don't know what happened to any on them." Blacktsunomon sighed.
Danny then walked over to the light switch and turned it off.
"Let's just go to sleep for now" He said. "Sometimes you just have to sleep."
Spy: Whee! I need your feed back before the next chapter goes out ok? OK.
