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

GCD: Sorry I had to shorten your account name here, but it makes it easier for me. Anyway, as for your question about the crew gaining new abilities, sadly, they won't, although their genetic abilities, namely the SEED and Newtype sense, could be considered a Semblance, even if they lack an Aura. :3

Opening Files: The Dark Substance

A dark black ooze, this is the life source for all Grimm and Fallen in the world. While no one knows how to contain it, rumors and legends suggest the Forgotten Age's citizens nearly wiped out the Dark Substance. However, these are just that, rumors and legends. So it is safe to say no one will succeed in that endeavor.

Or so it was assumed. Recent intelligence suggests that due to a battle with a Grimm, the inhabitants of Dimension O-000 brought back a bit of the Dark Substance into their home dimension on accident. Due to this, and due to the speculation of Dimension O-000's level of technology being higher than the level here, there stands a good chance of this dimension finding a weakness for the Dark Substance. However, these estimates are at best 55% accurate due to the true level of this dimension's technology being unknown.

Dimension O-000

Admiral Yuy looked over the data on the black ooze that was wiggling around in the case that was containing it. The case itself was glass, but reinforced with Energon coating the glass to make it stronger, and based on a strange observation with the ooze when placed in the container, it seemed, in theory, that Energon was a weakness of the ooze.

In response to this, there were now tests being done on the ooze that included transferring it to a non-Energon coated container, and the results were promising so far.

"So, what have you found regarding this ooze?" Admiral Yuy asked as he looked back at the lead scientist.

"Well, sir, it seems that the energon coating for the glass of the container holding the ooze seems to weaken the ooze as a whole." The lead scientist replied as he ran a hand through his dark purple hair. "And if the results are to be believed, we just might have found a weakness for this ooze."

The Admiral grunted once. "Hn." That alone was enough to make the scientist take note.

"What?"

Admiral Yuy looked back at him. "We can't be entirely sure this is the weakness of the ooze." He replied. "If anything, there could be more weaknesses, so we can't say for sure we found it based on a few test results alone."

The scientist nodded. "I understand sir." He said. "That is what was on my mind as well. I am just saying we appear to have found a weakness. I am more than aware this thing may have more than one weakness."

"Good. Just make sure you don't forget that." Admiral Yuy said before he turned and walked off, leaving the scientist to his work once more.

GF-007

Just outside the outskirts of GrimmFall, the bullet train came to a stop at the next station, as it was the end of the direct line to the city. Agunimon exited the train and could see the suburb where the station was looked normal enough. Things again didn't seem out of place. He made his way out of the station, only to see something that was not normal. For outside the train station, there were police officers and what had to be Hunters around, all looking like they were searching something out. The Digimon looked around, but he could see nothing that stood out to him.

Making his way over, Agunimon tried to avoid the sight of a police officer nearby, but, much to his dismay, he was unable to, as the officer caught sight of him. "Hold it!" The man said as he made his way over to the Warrior of Flame. The Digimon turned, catching the man's gaze with his own. The officer stopped when he saw the cloaked warrior looking at him in a confused manner. "I'm afraid I will have to ask you to come with me."

"Why?" Agunimon asked.

"Not many wear cloaks in this weather." The officer replied as he pointed to the Digimon's cloak. "Besides, it makes you look suspicious."

Reaching up, the Warrior of Flame removed his hood, revealing his face to the officer. "Why do you say that?" The Digimon asked as the man blinked. "Did I do something wrong?"

The police officer could now get a good look at the person wearing the cloak, and he had to admit, the man before him looked nothing like a rogue Huntsman. In fact, he looked more like an aspiring hero instead, what with the odd mask and all. Not to mention he had a weapon on his back. "No, you didn't per say." The officer replied. "It's just protocol." He then sighed. "A young boy was kidnapped from his home by a serial killer, and the killer wore a cloak to avoid detection. All that stood out was the fact a tail could be seen from under the cloak, moving around like the appendage it is."

"Well, I don't have a tail." The Warrior of Flame said.

"Yes, I can see that." The officer agreed. And it was true, for there was a distinct lack of movement from under the warrior's cloak.

Agunimon then looked back at the officer. "So why are you looking here?" The Digimon asked as the police officer sighed. "Shouldn't you be looking in the boy's home town?"

"The killer left with the boy, and was sighted getting on a train to head here." The officer replied.

That sent an alarmed feeling rushing through the Legendary Warrior. "He was taken here?!" He asked. From what he knew, most kidnappers did something similar, and if this place was similar to his old home, then it stood to reason this boy was in danger.

"Yeah, and that is why we are looking around the area." The officer explained.

Agunimon looked back before he glanced at the officer again. "Can you give me an image of what this boy looks like?"

The officer looked surprised. "Why? What can you do?" He asked.

The Digimon pointed at his weapon. "I've come here for a reason, and that is to get certified as a Hunter."

A shake of the police officer's head threw him for a loop. "No can do, son."

"Why?" Agunimon asked, frowning now.

"If you ain't a Huntsman, then you can't stand against this killer." The man replied at last. "He's just that dangerous."

Agunimon grunted once. "Either way, I can handle myself." The Digimon assured the cop. "But I can't help if you don't give me the image."

"And you aren't getting it." The cop shot back before he pointed away from the area. "Now go. You ain't ready for this."

As he left, the Warrior of Flame narrowed his blue eyes before he turned and ran down another road, avoiding the police blockade. He peered out and saw an officer holding a picture of a boy that had poofy hair and a retainer on his face. The shirt was light blue and the pants were white, along with black shoes. Memorizing the image, the Digimon pulled back and began to make his way around the outskirts of the city, hoping to find a lead on the child's whereabouts.

Once away from the police officers, Agunimon began his hunt for the missing boy and his kidnapper. His sharp blue eyes darted about, looking for anything unusual, relying on his superior eyesight to do so. Then, he saw it. Despite it being light blue in color, the shred of fabric was so small, so slim, it would have been missed by him entirely if not for his having enhanced senses. Agunimon walked over and knelt down, picking up the piece of fabric as gently as he could. The Digimon frowned as he studied it, noting it appeared to have been torn by something sharp, most likely claws or a weapon of some kind. He lowered his hand and looked up, his Digimon senses picking up an unusual feeling in the air.

Standing up, the Warrior of Flame paused before he closed his eyes and focused on the sounds around him. Sure, he could hear the everyday things like cars, people talking and their footsteps, but he also heard things that would normally not be heard, such as the sounds of doors locking and unlocking as well as hints of conversation inside buildings. But it was what he heard in a building off to his left that surprised him. The Legendary Warrior could hear screams, even if it was almost impossible to due to some kind of sound-proofing on the interior most likely. Opening his eyes, Agunimon turned to the building, only to see it looked like a posh salon of some sort.

He narrowed his blue eyes, suspicious of the building now. No such place would have screams coming from inside it...

The Digimon made his way to the door, only to pause. 'Wait...if I enter like everyone else, I may get caught up in some kind of trap.' He thought to himself before backing away from the door. A frown crossed his face as he pondered on what to do next. It was clear just walking would be out, unless he wanted to get the owner suspicious of his reasons for being there.

Looking around, the Digimon instantly saw an open window and he smirked to himself. It was easily within his jumping height. He backed up a bit before breaking into a run and jumping up before grabbing onto the ledge of the window. He pulled himself up with little to no effort due to his enhanced strength he had as a Digimon. Once inside, Agunimon put up his hood and proceeded to walk out of the room he had emerged in. The hallway he came into was dark and dank, with the musty smell of moss and fungi assaulting his sense of smell, already more sensitive than a normal human's. The Warrior of Flame was forced to cover his mouth and nose with his right hand as he coughed a bit at the mustiness he was picking up on so easily. "Ugh..." He grimaced.

Although it was dark in that hallway, his superior eyesight allowed Agunimon to see as though it was daytime easily. Walking down the hall, the Warrior of Flame kept his senses on high alert, refusing to drop his guard. Then, a sudden scream erupted through the building, startling him. Agunimon removed his hand from in front of his mouth and pulled his weapon on instinct. There was nothing else besides the sound of his heavy breathing. Now cautious and even more alert, the Digimon made his way further down the hall, only to come to a stop near the stairwell. He opened the door, which gave a slight creak as it swung open.

Agunimon could see the stairway was dark, even darker than the hallway. It was only because of his enhanced sense of sight that he could see at all, although it was very hard to because it was so dark. He made his way down the stairs slowly to the first floor, and at one point he nearly slipped and fell if he didn't have his hand on the railing. Once on the first floor, Agunimon felt for the door handle that would let him leave the dark stairwell. He found it and the door again creaked open like the one on the second floor. There was dim lighting in the hallway, but what really surprised the Digimon was the fact that the salon was just outside the hallway. He paid no heed to that as he made his way down the dark hallway, glancing around as he did so.

The Warrior of Flame kept his weapon in hand before he heard something that sounded like the skittering of many feet on the old wood flooring. Glancing back, the Digimon nearly yelped and gave himself away because of a rather large spider that was the size of a table lunging for him. Agunimon jumped back before he swung his blade, the fire Dust in its chamber allowing him to unleash a fiery shockwave at the spider. The fiery attack hit the spider, making it screech before the flames claimed it in a matter of moments. Agunimon panted as he backed up, keeping an eye out for anything else that could possibly come at him.

Suddenly, he heard a voice, like someone was speaking to another person. "Oh, come now, my dear chap." The cultured voicd purred. "I'm only offering you some candy."

"No!" The second voice that came exclaimed. Agunimon's blue eyes went wide when he heard it. It sounded like a high-pitched male voice. "I don't want any candy!"

"Oh, come on, child." The first voice purred as the Warrior of Flame crept closer to where the voices were coming from. An open doorway revealed a place to peek in, he noted. Pausing in his walking, Agunimon went silent as he listened to see where the voices were truly coming from. "You will love my candy." Upon hearing that last sentence, Agunimon's blue eyes narrowed slightly. The voices seemed to be coming from that room with the open door. Taking a chance, the Digimon crept closer, finally reaching the open doorway and peering in as much as he could while remaining hidden.

Inside the room, which was dank and dark save for a dimly lit light bulb hanging from the ceiling, there were two individuals, one of which was the missing boy, and the one who had to be his captor. Agunimon's eyes narrowed a bit more as he gritted his teeth together, revealing his fangs again. The individual who had the boy captive was a cat Mobian, with purple stripes running along his fur in horizontal lines, skinny arms and legs, a triangular face, and wide yellow eyes with beady purple irises. The Mobian's tail moved around as it stalked around the boy, who was tied to a chair and shivering.

"What do you want with me?!" The boy squeaked, revealing he was the one with the high-pitched voice. That led Agunimon to conclude that the first voice had been the Mobian speaking, and he was proven right when the Mobian chuckled.

"Why, I am merely offering you a piece of candy." The cat-like being purred as he held out a piece of toffee towards the boy.

"No! Get away!" The boy squeaked out as he tried to back away, but his feeble arms and legs were tied tightly to the chair, and he could not get away.

Agunimon growled softly to himself before the cat Mobian's ears twitched and the Digimon tensed. Had he been discovered?!

When there was no movement towards his location, the Warrior of Flame was sure he had escaped being found out. Or so he assumed. The cat Mobian chuckled again. "It seems we have an eavesdropper." He said in that cultured tone, which made the boy look around in fear.

The Digimon was shocked that he had been found out. Still, he made no movement to give the Mobian confirmation. "Why don't you show yourself, police officer?" The cat Mobian purred. "After all, I am a reasonable businessman."

Again, there was no movement to confirm his claims of being overheard. The cat Mobian frowned to himself at the lack of response to his offers and calls to the intruder. "Or do you not care about this boy's well-being?" The Mobian asked as he shifted, holding out a knife towards the shivering boy's neck.

Unseen by the Mobian, Agunimon twitched as he saw that and his hand moved to his throat, feeling the gauze still wrapped around it. He didn't wish to have this boy go through that himself. He gripped his weapon tightly as he prepared to make his move. The cat Mobian just huffed before putting the knife away and making his way towards the door. Upon seeing this, Agunimon knew he had only a few options. One was he could attack and get the jump on the Mobian, but he ruled that out as it would only get him into trouble as he had no idea of what this Mobian was capable of, let alone if he had an Aura or Semblance. The second option was he could hide in another room, but again, that was ruled out as it would just get the Mobian mad and he would possibly hurt the boy to draw him out. That left the third and final option, which was to hide behind the door an then slip inside to shut it so the Mobian would be locked out. However, that on carried the most risk, as if he was not careful or quick enough, he would get spotted.

Still, deciding that was the best option, Agunimon hid behind the door frame and as the cat Mobian opened the door fully and looked around outside for the so-called police officer he was sure he had heard, the cloaked Digimon slipped inside the room before the Mobian saw him. Turning around, the Warrior of Flame felt a smirk cross his lips before he faced the cat Mobian's back an then nailed the Mobian in the back with a kick before grabbing the door handle and slamming the door shut behind the red-furred being.

Agunimon made sure to lock the door and he smirked as the cat Mobian pounded on the door. "Open up!"

"Sorry, no can do, buddy!" Agunimon joked with a slight snicker before his attitude turned serious. He turned to face the boy, who looked downright scared. Not that the Digimon blamed him. Anyone in his position would be. He reached up and removed his hood, revealing his face to the boy. As the Warrior of Flame gave him a slight smile, the boy shivered in his seat.

"W-who are you?!" The boy squeaked. "Are you going to eat me?!"

At that, Agunimon grimaced. "Uh...no...That's gross."

Something about that claim seemed to calm the boy somewhat, but he was still shivering. "B-but you have...fangs!"

"Yes, I know..." The Digimon sighed. "But I can't help it since they are a part of me."

The poor boy was now shivering even more again and Agunimon frowned as he saw that. "Hey, I just risked myself getting in here so I can help you." He said. "Can't you at least calm down?"

Hearing that seemed to make the boy stop his shivering. "What?"

Groaning to himself, the Digimon made a mental note to just reassure any captives he rescued he was there to help them. "I am here to help you." He said again, making sure his voice was gentle and soothing. The effort was worth it, as it helped the boy to settle down some more.

"C-can you get me out of here?" The boy asked in his high-pitched voice.

As if in response, Agunimon lifted part of his cloak to reveal his right gauntlet, and he flipped out the Tri-Knife that was on there. The boy shivered again before the Digimon brought the blade to his ropes and sliced them easily. As the boy felt the ropes fall away from around his feeble arms and legs, he was surprised this man was here to help him. He had been sure no one would notice he was missing!

"Can you walk?" The Warrior of Flame asked, making the boy pause.

"Um...yes, but not for long periods..." The boy admitted meekly. "I have a disease that makes me weak...It's genetic..."

Agunimon mentally groaned before he sighed. "Okay...I think we can work something out..."

But before they could get any further in planning, the door suddenly shook, making both human and Digimon look back at it as the door was ripped off its hinges by large pincers. Agunimon got to his feet from beside the boy and pulled his weapon from his back, just as the cat Mobian walked in.

"I will admit, that was quite unexpected." He said as he took note of the Digimon before him. A sinister grin crossed his face. "And what do you know? We have the Fire Elemental in our midst."

The boy looked at Agunimon in what had to be awe, but the Digimon just shook his head. "Sorry to disappoint, but I am not the Fire Elemental."

The cat Mobain just laughed. "Please. I, Katz, know you are the Fire Elemental. The Elemental was reported to have left Denver, and where did you come from? Why Denver of course."

Agunimon tensed as he heard that. "How did you know?!"

"An associate of mine." The Mobian, Katz, replied. "He saw you leaving the city, the Dragon's Den."

The Warrior of Flame was wary now. Who knew what this Katz was capable of!

Katz chuckled again as he moved aside, revealing the spider that had ripped the door off its hinges. "Now, will you surrender to me? Or will I have to take desperate measures?"

"Like hell I will surrender to you!" Agunimon hissed back. He only tightened his grip on his weapon in response.

Katz sighed and waved a paw, the spider lunging towards the Digimon and the boy beside him.

Agunimon saw this and shoved the boy to the ground before jumping back himself. However, his cloak was caught by the pincers of the spider, which caught him off-guard as he felt it snag on something. He could feel it moving against his already injured throat and he reached up on instinct, undoing the clasp that held it together around his neck and releasing himself from it. The Digimon landed on the floor, revealing his form. Katz seemed to sneer at this. "Ah, and now the Elemental reveals himself!" He then pointed at the Digimon before him. "Seize the Elemental!"

As if on instinct, the Warrior of Flame grabbed his weapon and swung it, unleashing a shockwave of fiery energy from fire Dust towards the spider. The flames reached it and the thing screeched as it jumped above the flames. Agunimon gasped as he saw it in the air just above him, but he didn't remain stunned for very long, as he then shoved the blade of his katana/rifle towards the spider's underside. The tip of the blade pierced through the spider's gut, making it wiggle its legs helplessly before it went limp on the weapon's blade. With a grunt, the Digimon pulled his blade out from the spider's body, leaving the husk to fall to the floor with a thud. Katz frowned when he saw that.

"Well, it would seem you are much stronger than anticipated." He mused. "You will make a fine offering to him."

The Digimon growled at that. He didn't know why, but he wasn't liking hearing that. "I'm not anyone's offering!" He snapped back. "And I'm taking this boy with me!"

Katz just laughed at that. "The boy is perfect to become better than he already is! After all, his jealousy and envy of others is what drew the Grimm to him in the first place!"

"I won't let you..." The Warrior of Flame hissed, his voice changing from its usual tone to a low and almost feral-sounding one. "Not against his will!"

"Please. Poor Jimmy only wants to be a strong Huntsman." Katz purred as Agunimon looked back at the boy, Jimmy, who was hiding behind him and peering out slightly.

"B-but I-I don't want to..." Jimmy whimpered. "I-I h-hate fighting..."

Katz just chuckled. "Oh, that is what they all say..." He purred before he turned to face yet another spider behind him. "And now, I will be taking you, Elemental."

Acting quickly, Agunimon placed his weapon onto his back and grabbed Jimmy before turning and running.

To Jimmy, the red-armored warrior was like Hercules.

The warrior's body was well muscled, and each muscle seemed to be filled with power, coiled like a spring, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. His physique was not over done in muscle tone, perfectly proportioned in every way. He possessed well-toned arms, with nicely defined biceps and triceps, and his forearms were protected by a pair of gauntlets of sorts.

His chest was guarded by a chest plate, but beneath it Jimmy could sense that he was well-toned there as well. His shoulders were nice and broad, and Jimmy could get a sense of how strong he was. His blonde hair cascaded down his muscular back, and the boy shivered at seeing that.

The warrior's legs were tense, like springs, or even rubber bands, as he held Jimmy close to his muscular chest. The warrior glanced down at him with blue eyes before he looked up and tensed, running for it as he shielded the frail youth from harm. Jimmy could sense the sheer power in his arms and legs; the way he moved was so fluid and graceful, like a gymnast or a ballerina, even. He was just so swift, so agile, and so sure of his movements.

That was something he wished he could have. He cursed his disease, the weakness that made him so frail. In truth, he idolized those who were strong, powerful, and confident. Jimmy wished it with all his might.

But alas, he wasn't able to. The audacity of life to give him such a curse was something he hated. He tried to hide his hatred of his condition under a facade of happiness and joy, but in truth he wasn't really happy unless Sarah was around. She was always strong enough to keep him safe, and he wished she was there. Despite her inhuman strength though, she wasn't as strong as these guys.

Hunters. The ones who saved the world and kept cities safe from the Grimm. And to be in the presence of such a warrior was something he was emotional about. He sought to try and overcome his weakness, but it wasn't possible. Modern medicine just wasn't advanced enough to cure his illness.

All he could do was envy the warrior.

The Mobian, Katz, was right when he had said he envied others like this warrior who was risking it all to protect him. The red-armored warrior didn't even look back, as if he could sense they were still being followed. Katz's laughter could be heard as he followed the duo on his large spider. The thing freaked Jimmy out, as he hated bugs. He could hear the skittering of many spindly legs as it came crawling after them.

Without as much as a glance, the red-armored warrior came to a halt before jumping up and over the spider. He flipped once before landing behind it and running down the hall back the way they had come. While that was happening, Jimmy could hear Katz yelling for his spider to turn around, but since the thing was so large, it was having a hard time maneuvering around in the tight hallway. As they ran past the room where Jimmy had been held captive, the warrior grabbed his now-discarded cloak and didn't stop running. While holding him with one hand, he reattached the cloak around his form with the other, as Jimmy was quick to see. "C-can you get me out of here?" Jimmy squeaked as the red-armored warrior looked down at him and smiled.

"Of course." He said in a confident tone before his easy-going attitude suddenly changed as he heard something behind him. He turned, only for Jimmy to scream as he too turned, only to see that large spider coming down the hall again. The warrior set him down before pulling his weapon from his back again. "When I say run, run!"

"But my disease..." Jimmy began before the warrior glanced back at him with a hard glare.

"Just run!" He shouted, making the boy do just that, even with his disease hindering him.

Once he was sure Jimmy was safe, Agunimon turned back to face the spider. "You're not getting that kid while I'm here!" He growled before he ran at the Mobian and his pet spider.

Swinging his blade again, Agunimon let loose another fiery shockwave that hit the spider and set it ablaze. Katz just jumped off and landed on the floor before rushing at the Digimon. Looking back behind him, Agunimon could see the Mobian running towards him as his eyes began to glow. Thinking quickly, he felt the familiar fractal coding surround his form before he switched over to his more powerful Beast Spirit form. However, that proved to be a bad idea, as he found he had limited room to move. Cursing his decision, BurningGreymon knew he couldn't do anything about it now, so he settled to fight Katz at close quarters. Katz ran at him, and while the Digimon was indeed far stronger than the Mobian, Katz was smaller and had more agility in such a tight space to fight. He unsheathed his claws and began to scratch at the Beast Warrior of Flame's body. If not for his higher endurance, BurningGreymon was sure he would have been torn down by now thanks to the scratching of the cat Mobian. Katz managed to crawl up his arm and then, the Mobian grabbed his head and his eyes began to shimmer a bit before the Digimon was suddenly seeing something he never thought he would see again: his worst opponent yet, ShadowSeraphimon, not that Katz knew it anyway. All he knew was that he was projecting an image of a Fallen Angel into his enemy's mind.

Against his will, BurningGreymon began to shiver badly as his breathing picked up in rapidity. His blue eyes widened as he began to shake violently now. "No..." He murmured to himself, fear in his voice.

Katz chuckled as he continued to project the images into his opponent's mind. However, he did not count on the dragon before him having fought the thing he was projecting into his mind. So while Katz was chuckling to himself, BurningGreymon was having a real panic attack now. "No...Stay away..." He rasped as the Mobian just made more bad images appear, this time of his worst nightmare come to life. BurningGreymon was now seeing images of the ones he cared about the most lying before him, bleeding from many wounds and missing limbs. He found it was now hard to take in a single breath of air and his lungs began to ache with the need for oxygen. "No...NO! STAY AWAY!" He shouted before things turned against Katz's favor. In sheer instinct and due to his fear, the Beast Warrior of Flame reacted in the only way he knew how. "WILDFIRE TSUNAMI!" He screamed, flames erupting from his very body and startling Katz off of his form. In response to this, while the walls were set on fire, the fire alarms went off, the loud sound snapping the Beast Warrior of Flame out of his panicked state. Blinking his blue eyes, BurningGreymon was surprised to see the images were gone and he panted, trying to get air into his lungs.

The ribbon of fractal coding surrounded him as he returned to his more humanoid form of Agunimon and he grabbed his weapon before running towards Katz, his mind now filled with rage. "You BASTARD!" Agunimon shouted as he ran at the cat Mobian, his blade drawn back. "You will PAY FOR THAT!" He swung the blade as hard as he could, barely gashing Katz on the stomach. Blood flew from the wound and landed on Agunimon's form and appearing to cover him, making him seem like he was covered in blood from wounds of his own. While the wound itself was shallow, it was bleeding heavily because of how large an area was nicked.

Katz hissed in pain at the stupid idea of assuming this guy was the Fire Elemental. If he was able to become a dragon, then there was no way this was the Fire Elemental.

"You might not be the Fire Elemental, but that doesn't mean you are safe." Katz sneered. "Rest assured, we will find the Elemental, but for now, I bid you adieu." With that, he turned and ran off.

Panting now, Agunimon looked around, only to see the flames he had released while panicked crawling up the walls. Cursing his decision to become BurningGreymon, he ran and found Jimmy outside in the salon area. He grabbed the boy and jumped, breaching the glass and landing on the ground, rolling a few times before he came to a stop. He panted as he sat up, holding the boy close to his chest as he did so. Jimmy could see he was looking quite tired, but the Digimon didn't stop moving, as he got to his feet and proceeded to run away from the now ablaze salon.

As he ran, the Warrior of Flame could sense something wasn't right, as his mind felt hazy for some reason. He could barely focus enough to concentrate on finding a place where he could get Jimmy some help. Everything was seeming to blur as he got further and further away from where the boy had been held captive. Agunimon knew he had to find some help, but he didn't know where to turn to get that help! Everything seemed like it was all in a haze, but he shook his head, trying to shove the fuzziness in his mind aside. It worked briefly, as he was able to regain just enough focus to reach a large building that had what looked like a J and F on its front. There was even an American Flag waving from a flagpole in front. Just going on a guess, which was very feeble one at best, the Digimon ran towards the building just as his focus began to waver again.

He wasn't even sure of what happened next, or if he even reached the building at all, everything was white. He could barely see the figures that gathered around him. One looked large and purple while one was dark, almost a black color. One looked to be a mix of red white and blue and yet another seemed to be black with yellow and peach. The next one was peach, light blue, and white while the last one appeared to be light purple, silver, and peach with what had to be angel wings on its back. For some reason, while he couldn't recall who that could possibly be for the life of him, seeing that last form made him feel more at ease. Against his will, a smile crossed his face. Then Agunimon's vision finally went black.

Justice Friends HQ

Jimmy was beside himself with panic as he saw his savior collapse to the floor soon after entering the building of the Justice Friends. "Somebody! Help!" He cried in his feebly weak voice as he looked around for anyone to help them out. Running around, he waved his feeble arms around. "Someone, anyone, help!"

Just then, someone poked their head out, only to gasp at seeing the civilian panicking inside the HQ. Valhallen ran out. "Krunk! Get Glory-boy as well as our guests!" He shouted as he ran out to the panicked boy and the form on the ground. The God of Rock at once placed a comforting hand on the upset boy's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay." He soothed the panicked youth. The boy looked up at him with moisture-filled eyes. Valhallen gave the boy his most charming smile.

"C-can you help him?" The boy squeaked out. The Rock God nodded.

"Yes, just give my teammates a few minutes to get here." Valhallen assured him. "Now, can you tell me what happened, little man?"

"Um...well...I was k-kidnapped...by Katz...and then...t-this guy came and s-saved me..." The boy stammered out, summing up what happened to him in a single sentence. Valhallen felt his heart nearly stop, not that it could given how he was a god, but still...

"You...were captured by Katz?!" He exclaimed as the boy nodded.

"Y-yes." The boy stammered out.

Valhallen gave him another charming smile. "Well, you're safe now, little man." He put a hand under the boy's chin and lifted his head to face his face. "What's your name? I can't just keep thinking of you as 'boy', now can I?" His attempts to make the boy more at ease worked, as he got a smile in return.

"I'm Jimmy." The boy, Jimmy, introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Jimster." Valhallen joked before he turned back to the form on the floor, Jimmy's savior.

Jimmy giggled at the nickname before he saw the God of Rock looking at his savior. "He...he apparently f-fought K-Katz..." Jimmy stammered out with a squeak to his voice. "I-I heard his s-screams...I t-think K-Katz used h-his S-Semblance..."

That made Valhallen frown, which was a very rare thing for him to do. He only did so when something truly bothered him, and this was one such instance. He reached over and turned the form onto his back, revealing a blood-covered humanoid. Upon seeing the symbol of fire on his belt and mask, the God of Rock knew this had to be another Digimon, most likely one of the Ten Legendary Warriors if what Lowemon had explained to him was correct.

Valhallen could see the Warrior of Flame, if that was his title, was covered in blood, and he appeared to be slightly red in the cheeks. He placed a hand on the Digimon's head, only to frown again when he felt the warmth that was indicative of a fever. Jimmy looked at the God of Rock nervously. "I-is everything al-alright?"

The Rock God gave the boy a kind, reassuring smile. "I think you did the right thing, Jimster, by bringing him here."

"B-but he b-brought me here!" Jimmy protested. Valhallen didn't let his smile slip, although he was surprised inside.

"Still, you panicking let us know you, and he, were in trouble." The Rock God assured the boy, his smile still on his face.

Jimmy looked surprised. "R-really? So I was a h-hero?"

Valhallen's nod made the boy feel like he was lighter than air. Just then, the sound of Krunk running made the two look back as Major Glory, Krunk, Lowemon, and Kazemon came out.

"What seems to be the problem?" Major Glory asked before he saw the blood-covered Digimon on the floor in front of them. "By Washington's Wig!" He exclaimed as he hovered over and landed beside the feverish warrior. At once, Lowemon and Kazemon both gasped and rushed over as well.

"Agunimon?!" Lowemon exclaimed as he knelt down beside the Warrior of Flame. There was blood on his chest armor and hair, with a bit on his face, mainly on his left cheek, and even hints of blood on his black body suit. namely on his upper right arm and the left side of his stomach area.

Kazemon landed and could see that Agunimon looked like he was feverish, and he was covered in blood, which made her panicked. Was he hurt or worse?! His blue eyes, unfocused and glazed over with fever, flicked around and took in their forms before they landed on her last, and for some reason, despite his condition, a smile graced his lips before his eyes slipped closed, rolling into the back of his head, and his head lolled to the side, his body going limp.

Kazemon nearly panicked if Valhallen didn't place a hand on her shoulder. "He's going to be alright." The God of Rock assured her. "In fact, he's lucky he made it here at all. We have the best medical technology in GrimmFall."

"You...You think so?" The Warrior of Wind asked as Valhallen gave her a reassuring nod and smile.

While his words did make her feel better, the female Digimon couldn't help but be concerned anyway...

Agunimon fights against Katz, saving Jimmy in the process, but he gets hit by Katz's Semblance. Despite this, he makes it to the Justice Friends HQ before collapsing from fever. And what will happen with Omnimon's mission to Chicago? Will he, Donnie, an Shannon defeat Myotismon? Read on to find out~! :3
