Here is another chapter~! :3 And I have a story cover up too~! :3 It is of Omnimon's emblem here. It is the Crest of Friendship with the points of the Crest of Courage, but this will become a golden color on his cape later on. The only thing that is not is the grey slash mark. :3


Opening Files: Yosemite Sam

Out of all the cowboys in the West side of the United States, only one strikes fear into every bank and business owner that settles out there: Yosemite Sam. A gunslinger of renown, Yosemite Sam has robbed many banks and businesses, netting him over $3.5 million dollars in a span of over five years. While he is not that strong on the Huntsman class scale, only a Class III Huntsman, it is his reckless shooting and willingness to take hostages that makes most wary of him. He is known to have killed over five of his hostages, with the exact number being estimated in the high teens by FBI officials.

Known as a serial robber, he is also rising as a serial killer with each hostage he kills with his twin pistols. Yosemite Sam is also noted to run a hotel of his own, but due to it being outclassed by the Duck's Burrow, he has been struggling with the business. Rumors abound that he has entombed his victims in the walls of his hotel, but every victim has been found and identified thus far, so the rumors are unfounded. Yosemite Sam's Semblance, Gung-ho Gunslinger, is known to always land his shots on his victims, even when he shoots with his usual wild abandon.

So far, only one hostage has managed to escape his grasp, but the hostage's name, gender, age, and race remain unknown to protect their identity. Only police and FBI officials, as well as any Huntsmen and Huntresses in the area know this information at this present time. Any Hunters or Slayers in the area are recommended to take Yosemite Sam out as soon as they see him. All who engage him must be Class III at a minimum or higher.


"Serial...that word can be both good and bad." TOM said as he closed the Yosemite Sam file, leaning back in his chair. "A serial number is good for identification, but it can also be bad because it means someone is racking up a robbery or kill count."

TOM then pressed a button on his left armrest and up came an image of a war medal. "Of course, in war, those who get such kill counts are known as aces, so are they real killers? Or are they just defending their home country?" He looked back at the camera. "Anything serial is dependent on the actions or circumstances in which the word is used." He then tented his fingers and chuckled. "I have a serial number for ID purposes, as does SARA." TOM Then looked back at the camera. "So, is a word good? Or is it bad? Only you can determine it with your actions. After all, actions speak louder than words."


GrimmFall

Lowemon was coming back from training, feeling quite confident he had regained all his energy. And it showed in his movement too, as there was no sluggish reaction time anymore. He had never felt so glad he had been offered a place to stay in this new world. Being alone with only Kazemon as his company, struggling to make it out there with no help at all, would have not been a good time.

He stopped by a window, looking out as the rain fell. People, both civilian and not, went about their lives, some running to escape the rain, others just going to and from work using raincoats or umbrellas while the rest used their cars or other means of public transportation to get around as well. The Digimon turned away from the window, only to see Krunk stalk by. Lowemon frowned to himself as he saw the flowers in the purple Hulk-alike's hands. 'No doubt looking for Kazemon...' He thought to himself.

While he knew he could deter the purple Hero, that would not be looked kindly upon by Major Glory, or so he assumed. In truth, Lowemon had no idea on how the hero would react if he did such a thing. He decided it was best to err on the side of caution and not provoke Krunk in any way if he could help it. Still, that didn't mean he ruled it out as an option either. A sigh escaped the Digimon as he looked down, Krunk now gone from his line of sight. Looking back up, he continued to make his way to where he was sleeping and staying for the time being. Or he would have had he not seen Major Glory walking down the hall.

The major smiled when he saw Lowemon coming his way. "Well, it's good to see you up and about." He said as the Digimon nodded.

"Yes." The Warrior of Darkness agreed. "I was actually on my way back from the training room."

"Ring the Liberty Bell, I'm glad you're using it so much." Major Glory said as he clasped Lowemon's shoulder. "How have you been recovering?"

The Digimon gave a smirk, and although it was not visible because of his facemask, it showed clearly in his red eyes. "I think I've recovered 100%." He replied. "I no longer feel as tired after a few rounds against Valhallen."

Major Glory smiled brightly at this. "Washington's wig, that's great news!" He exclaimed.

Lowemon just chuckled at the response. "Indeed it is." He agreed. Then he faced the symbol of hope and peace. "What about the offer I made you?" Lowemon asked. "Have you considered it?"

"Yes, and I will take you up on it." Major Glory replied with a smile. "By the White House, it actually makes sense when I think about it."

The Digimon blinked in surprise, shocked the major was actually accepting it. However, it faded quickly and he smiled himself. "I'm glad you think so."

Major Glory nodded. "After all, when battling those one knows nothing about, one has to be careful." The hero said seriously as Lowemon nodded.

"True, and I should know." The Digimon agreed. "Some of my past enemies have appeared weaker, but actually been much stronger than anticipated."

This made Major Glory nod solemnly. He knew all too well what that could do, having seen many promising young Hunters get killed because they had not exercised the caution needed to overcome an enemy that was stronger than they looked.


San Diego

Seeing the two Mobians come in with the unconscious form of Lobomon was a shock to Beetlemon as he saw that. The Warrior of Thunder was concerned when he saw how still his fellow warrior was, but he still felt a bit weakened from his trip through that portal thing in the sky, so there was no way he was moving over to check on him any time soon.

As soon as Lobomon was set down, Beetlemon saw Daffy, the duck Mobian, check him over while Bugs, the rabbit Mobian, walked over to him. "How are you feeling?" Bugs asked as Beetlemon looked down.

"Still a bit drained." He replied before he looked back at the unconscious Warrior of Light. "But is he okay?"

"We're trying to determine that now." Bugs replied sadly. "We just found him a few minutes ago, after driving off a crazy robber, Yosemite Sam."

Beetlemon frowned to himself behind his faceplate. Why did that sound familiar...?

Bugs then sighed again. "Anyway, there's no need to worry right now. I think he will be fine."

"Good...because he's a friend of mine." The statement from Beetlemon startled Bugs, making the rabbit Mobian look at him in disbelief.

"A friend of yours? Why didn't you say something then?" Bugs asked in shock.

"I wasn't sure if I was the only one sent here." The Warrior of Thunder replied. "I think I told you how I got here already, right?"

Bugs nodded, which relieved the Digimon quite a bit. "Good. I'm glad you remember it, because I am not repeating it again."

The resort owner looked back at the still knocked out Digimon. "So, he's a friend of yours. Does this mean your other friends are here too then?" Bugs asked as Beetlemon looked back as well.

"At this point, I can only assume so." He replied before Bugs gave him a critical look.

"So...what are you?" The rabbit Mobian asked at that point, making Daffy look back as well in confusion. "Because you're clearly not a Mobian, nor a Faunus."

Here, Beetlemon sighed. It seemed that small secret was now about to come out. "I was hoping you wouldn't ask that..."

"Why?" Daffy asked, making the Digimon look back at him as well.

"Let's just say I am not from this world of yours." Beetlemon said, trying to keep it vague, but that wasn't enough for Bugs or Daffy.

"So, you're an alien?" Bugs joked, making the Warrior of Thunder roll his green eyes at the poor attempt for a joke.

Daffy snickered, but didn't say anything about it in return.

Beetlemon fixed Bugs with a look. "No. I'm more of what you would call a Digital entity." He began. "Basically, where I come from, there are two worlds, the real world, and the Digital World." He then looked down at his hands, flexing them slightly. "And I am from the latter."

Bugs and Daffy blinked in surprise, looking at one another before looking back at the Digimon. "So...you're from another world, where beings can exist, but in digital form?" Bugs asked as Beetlemon nodded.

"Yeah. The inhabitants are called Digimon, and that is what I am." The Warrior of Thunder continued. "And so is my friend there." He added, gesturing towards the unconscious Lobomon.

"You're both Digimon then?" Daffy asked as he got a nod in response.

Bugs looked down at his rifle and sighed to himself. Yep, this was going to be one of those days...


Denver, Colorado

Dracon looked over at Agunimon, who was now completely dead to the world. The warrior had conked out a few minutes ago, after the Dragon of Denver had spoken of one of his toughest fights, which was against the Fallen known as Skarr.

His gaze roamed over the sleeping form of the Warrior of Flame, taking note of how his body was still slightly tense, even when deep in sleep. It was like he was still alert almost, like a guarded warrior who was on edge all the time. Dracon snorted mentally to himself, wondering just what kind of life this person led to always be so alert, even when sleeping. He doubted he would ever catch Agunimon fully or even truly relaxed if his life was what Dracon thought it was.

The mech stood up, making his way over and grabbing a blanket before placing it over the sleeping warrior as best he could without waking him up. There was a tension Dracon didn't like in the air as he did this, as though even the slightest sound would wake Agunimon. Safe to say though, that wasn't the case, and he had soon placed the blanket over the sleeping warrior. As soon as that was done, Dracon sat down on the other couch, pondering what he knew of the Warrior of Flame.

'If he sleeps like this, then I doubt his life was peaceful. If anything, I'm betting his life was one of turmoil, and he is always alert for anyone that could try to harm him.' Dracon mused as he sat back further on the couch while still looking back at Agunimon's sleeping form. 'That would explain a lot, actually, including his reluctance to come into my home.'

However, Dracon didn't know that he couldn't have been further from the truth.

He picked up a book and began to read it, passing the time. However, it wasn't even an hour later when he began to notice the warrior stirring in his sleep. Looking up, Dracon was surprised to see Agunimon was moving around slightly, like he was trying to wake up, but not. The Dragon of Denver wondered what could possibly be bothering the warrior when he realized it had to be the product of a nightmare, or at least a really nasty flashback of some kind.

He stood up and walked over, placing his book down as he did so. Dracon reached the warrior's side, kneeling down next to him and shaking him slightly. "Hey...wake up."

The sudden touch and movement made Agunimon snap awake, causing him to sit up abruptly, panting as he did so. Dracon was startled by the sudden move, yelping in surprise. His shout made the warrior look back in surprise as well. "Geez...talk about a rude awakening." Dracon joked as the Warrior of Flame sighed, realizing it had only been a dream.

Dracon noticed his expression and frowned to himself mentally. "Hey...are you okay?"

Agunimon just waved off his concern. "I'm fine." He replied, waving his hand dismissively, but the Dragon of Denver knew better. However, he figured the warrior would tell him on his own time, so he let it go.


Agunimon had never thought he would dream of one of his toughest fights, at least, not in a while. As it was, Dracon had woken him up before it could get to the nasty part, so he was relieved somewhat. It was never fun waking up after he literally almost died in his dreams; he tended to lash out at whomever was next to him when that happened.

Dracon's concern for him was also a bit of a welcome relief, but the Digimon wasn't willing to trust the mech with who, and what, he was just yet. No, if he wanted to stay alive, he would have to keep that as secret as possible. He sighed as he placed his head in his hands, wondering just how he would survive in this new world. Dracon had explained about the Grimm yes, but the Fallen were the main concern for him. In the mech's own words, they sounded almost difficult to beat under normal circumstances, and that...it scared him. The last time he had felt so scared was when he fought and almost lost his life against a strong enemy, stronger than he had been.

The Digimon kept his gaze trained at the floor as he removed his hands from in front of his face, worry now on his features. Deep down, Agunimon couldn't help but be concerned about his friends. If they were out there, then who knew if they would survive against the Fallen! Looking out the window, the Warrior of Flame could only pray to the Celestial Angel Digimon that the rest of his team was still alive and safe.


Mystery Machine

Shannon and Omnimon were still a ways from GrimmFall, but it wasn't like they minded or anything. In fact, it only helped them to bond more. As it was, the duo were taking a break as Omnimon decided to help Shannon train to unlock her Aura.

The red-haired human female was concentrating, trying to focus on her Aura, but it wasn't going so well. Omnimon sighed. "It seems we can't rely on the techniques that Monty Uno used to help me unlock my own Aura." He said sadly as Shannon opened her eyes in dismay.

"Then, how can we get my Aura to awaken?" She asked.

The Digimon looked back at her. "It will awaken in time, I do not doubt that." He assured her. "It will just take some time to find the right method to do so."

Shannon looked down, but agreed that maybe a new method of awakening her Aura was needed.

"But what can we do then?" She murmured aloud.

Here, Omnimon sighed. "Let's put it on hold for now." He said, making Shannon groan. He then looked at her once more. "I would like to know some things about this Hoss Delgado."

The Blake Clan member looked at him in surprise. "Why? Don't you know already?"

"Yes, but I would like to know more about him." Omnimon replied. "Like what is his rank, etc."

Shannon looked down at that. "Well...I don't really know the answer to that myself." She replied helplessly. "I mean, I never knew it either."

Omnimon sighed again. "Okay...then what can you tell me about in regards to this world in general?"

"Well...there is a time period that is only known as the Forgotten Age." Shannon replied at last. "And it is known as that because human history of that time was lost." She shrugged here. "It's a time about 5000 years in the past, and while there are ruins of it, no one has been able to find a full city, which would give us more insight on it."

"Forgotten Age?" Omnimon asked as he looked back at her as he heard her explanation to his question. "Why would it be hard to find cities from that era?" He wondered as he looked down.

"That we don't know." Shannon replied. "I just know that's what it is called."

Omnimon frowned here. This did not sit well with him if what he was hearing was correct. "It seems someone is trying to hide the human race's history in a sense." He mused, but Shannon didn't quite think so.

"I don't know about that." She said. "It might have just been caused by some major disaster."

"Then explain why there are no ruined cities remaining." Omnimon countered as he looked at her with his blue eyes. "That there are no ruins from that time indicates someone is going out of their way to hide humanity's history, for whatever reason they may have."

Shannon looked down, unsure of how to respond to that.


San Diego

The last thing he expected was for his head to be aching as he regained consciousness. Lobomon groaned as he opened his red eyes, only to see he was not back in the old, run-down hotel he had been captive in, but somewhere else. It looked like a high-end apartment or penthouse, and the owner spared no expense on the luxuries either it seemed, for he was laying on a very comfortable couch with a high-quality blanket, made of some kind of animal fur, under him. The Warrior of Light managed to push himself up slightly, only to regret the moment after, as he felt dizzy. The Digimon wound up falling back, groaning slightly as the aching in his head died down to a dull throb again. If not for his helmet, he would have gained a concussion or worse, he mused mentally as the fog in his brain cleared again.

Just then, the doorknob turned and Lobomon tensed as he saw the door open. For a moment, he feared it was that crazy red-haired man with the twin pistols again, but the door opening fully revealed not the man, but two beings he hadn't expected. One as a grey rabbit, and the other was a black duck, but both were walking like humans and talking like them as well. While the Digimon wasn't too surprised, as he had seen talking, humanoid rocks in the Digital World before, this was still a bit of a surprise to him nonetheless.

The black duck and grey rabbit walked in fully, only for the rabbit to look over at him. Seeing him awake must have been a good thing, as a relieved look crossed the rabbit's face as it-no, he-walked over to the Warrior of Light. "Hey, how are you feeling?" The rabbit asked as he knelt down beside Lobomon.

"You trying waking up with a headache and see how you like it." The Digimon snarked back.

The response made the black duck snicker as the rabbit rolled his black eyes. "Yeah, yeah. If you can make a remark like that, then you're probably good."

"Where am I , anyway?" Lobomon asked as the rabbit grinned at him.

"You, my friend, are in the Duck's Burrow resort. My partner, Daffy Duck, found you out cold on the ground." The rabbit replied. "And I am Bugs Bunny, the owner of the resort." He then pointed at Daffy, the black duck. "And Daffy runs the casino, the Lucky Pond."

While he was a bit confused, the Warrior of Light figured he should at least give his thanks to these two since they had found him and taken him in instead of that crazy man he had escaped from. "I guess I owe you my thanks."

Bugs, the rabbit, just smiled. "Aw, it was nothing." He said, making Daffy snicker again.

"Bugsth isth justht basful." He said, that lisp of his apparent to Lobomon.

"Says you, Greedy McDuck!" Bugs shot back as a joke.

Daffy faked a horrified gasp. "Why, I never!" He mocked, placing a hand to his chest, making Bugs laugh.

Bugs then regained himself and looked back at the Digimon before him. "Anyway, what were you doing out there in the rain like that?"

Lobomon sighed. "I escaped from an old, run-down hotel run by a crazy red-haired man with twin pistols. He took me captive while I was unconscious." He replied, making Bugs frown and Daffy gasp.

"You mean you escaped Yosemite Sam?!" The black duck exclaimed.

"Is that his name?" The Warrior of Light asked as Bugs nodded.

His black eyes were hard as he spoke. "Yes, it is." The resort owner agreed. "In fact, he's a danger to anyone he meets because he is such a reckless shooter and is willing to take hostages as well as kill them. He's also a serial robber of banks and businesses."

"That would explain why he took me captive then..." Lobomon muttered to himself. Just then, the door opened again, and in came the last person he expected. It was none other than Beetlemon, the Warrior of Thunder.

The Warrior of Light was caught completely by surprise, as he hadn't really expected anyone else to get caught up in that portal, especially his friends. "Wait...Beetlemon?" He whispered as the Warrior of Thunder just laughed at his gobsmacked expression.

"The one and only!" The beetle-like Digimon joked as he struck a pose before letting all his humor fall away. He walked over to his fellow Digimon, serious as could be. "That aside, are you alright?"

"Aside from a nasty headache, I've never been better." Lobomon replied. Beetlemon smiled behind his faceplate at that.

He put a hand on the Warrior of Light's shoulder. "Glad to hear that." The other Digimon said.

Bugs then looked at the two Digimon. "Well, this is all well and good, but I think it's time you two learned of where you are, and what is going on." The look on the resort owner's face was serious, and somehow, Beetlemon and Lobomon got the feeling this would not be exactly a friendly lecture.


GrimmFall, Justice Friends HQ

Lowemon was surprised when he heard Krunk running around, trying to catch Kazemon, who was trying to escape him. "Krunk want to know pretty wing lady!"

"No way!" Kazemon exclaimed. "Leave me alone!"

The Warrior of Darkness ran out of his room, only to see the purple Hulk look-alike trying to pull the Warrior of Wind down to the ground, but her flight made it so she was out of his grasp. "C'mon! Leave me alone, please!"

"Krunk want to know wing lady better!" Krunk exclaimed with those hearts in his eyes.

Kazemon looked like she wanted to kick his butt, but Lowemon walked over instead. "Krunk, why are you chasing her down?"

The purple hero looked back at the Digimon with a frown. "She avoiding Krunk."

"Kazemon is still uneasy here." Lowemon said in a calm voice. "Just leave her alone for the time being. She doesn't need to feel smothered while she is trying to adapt."

Krunk blinked but agreed. He left, making the Warrior of Wind relax once he was gone.

"Thanks." She said as Lowemon chuckled and gave a thumbs up. Safe to say, she was glad she was stuck with the Warrior of Darkness. It helped her to feel a bit more at ease in this new place.

She landed as the darker-armored Digimon gave her a look. "So, he is enamored with you, and yet you wish to avoid him all because he sees is your looks?"

Kazemon sighed. "Yeah, and I am just like you, a Legendary Warrior. It can be hard, being a female and yet a powerful fighter."

"I wouldn't know that last part, but I can assure you Krunk will see you as a formidable opponent soon enough." Lowemon assured her. "All you need is the chance to shine."

She smiled at that. Maybe she would yet...


Denver, Colorado

Dracon looked over at Agunimon, who was now in a training room at the City Guard HQ. The warrior looked around, unsure of what was going on.

"Okay, time to get down to business." The Gundam said as the Warrior of Flame looked over at him. "We're going to begin your training."

"What?!" Agunimon was shocked. He hadn't expected this to begin so soon. The Digimon bit his lower lip, unsure of what was going to go down.

The Dragon of Denver smirked mentally. He could see the Warrior of Flame looked nervous, and that was what he wanted. It would serve to help the warrior get braver if he fought against Grimm.

Looking back, Agunimon watched with wariness as Dracon came forwards. "You will need to know how to fight."

At once, the Digimon felt his body twitch at that. Dracon was assuming he couldn't fight?! Talk about an insult...

Noticing the way he was being looked at, Dracon raised a mental eyebrow. It seemed Agunimon had lost the nervous look and was now looking at him in a bit of a cross manner, or was it anger? He couldn't tell. Either way, there was a frown on the warrior's face, and Dracon didn't know why.

"Are you saying I can't fight?" The Warrior of Flame asked as Dracon flashed his optics in a blink.

"Um...yeah. Why else would I bring you here?" The mech countered.

Agunimon growled, baring his sharp fangs at Dracon. "I can fight as well, you know."

"Oh?" Dracon was intrigued. "Let's see how you fight then, since you have no weapons."

In response, the Digimon ran at him with a shout. Dracon was caught off-guard by the sudden rush, but countered by using his shield to block the Warrior of Flame's punch. The yelp that followed made Dracon scoff. It seemed Agunimon was just another hot-headed person who just charged right into battle without a plan. However, he wasn't aware that the action of blocking Agunimon's punch had given the Warrior of Flame an idea of what to expect now, so he wasn't about to make the same mistake twice.

Holding his left hand, the Digimon looked up as he panted from the pain he was feeling. 'Okay...I'm not doing that again...' He thought as he eyed Dracon's shield and frame warily. 'If that's what his shield is made of, I don't doubt the rest of him is made of the same material.'

This made things harder, he noted with a growl. Dracon noticed the lack of an attack and smirked mentally. "Well, it seems you've learned from that mistake. Not bad, but you're still not going to fare well against me."

And Agunimon had to admit he was right. Just how was he going to show he could handle himself against this mech if his physical form was that strong?!


Lobomon awakens in the Duck's Burrow while Agunimon begins his training with Dracon and Lowemon and Kazemon deal with a love-struck Krunk. How will Abby react to Omnimon's reappearance? And what will Agunimon's training do for him? Read on to find out~! :3
