Remember to review and favorite :D


A loud explosion could be heard from the pit where Raiden had fallen. Everyone ran to the ledge and looked down in worry. Several more booms echoed up to them. Another tear trickled down Kimi's cheek.

"Raiden.." She whispered.

Biyomon, looked up at Kimi sadly and touched her hand gently. But Kimi quickly pulled it away.

"Cyberdramon?" Ryo looked at his partner who nodded in response. Kimi looked up at Ryo who was being picked up by his Digimon. "We're going down to get him. Stay here." Suddenly, Cyberdramon began to growl. "What is it?" Ryo looked at him.

But before Cyberdramon could answer, a purple and black and white dragon looking digimon flew up from the pit, making snow fly up from the ground and into everyone's faces.

"Hi guys!" A cheery child-like voice greeted them, and once the snow settled back down, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Raiden jumped off of Dorugamon's back and waved at them. He had a couple scraps on his left cheek but other than that just smelled like smoke.

Cyberdramon set down Ryo who was smiling. "Wow bud, we were worried about ya! Glad to see your okay."

"Of course I am! I have Dorugamon by my side." He laughed when his partner nuzzled his cheek.

"I am so glad you both are alright." Biyomon finally had a smile on her face, but her eyes held her true feelings.

Raiden smiled up at his cousin as Kimi made her way over to him. "I told you I'd be okay!" He gleemed, but became startled when Kimi dropped down to her knees and tightly hugged him. She didn't say anything as she held him for some time, and Raiden could feel her breathing hitching, now realizing she was crying silently. He hugged her back and said, "You have to have hope, cousin."


Emiko groaned as she slowly started to regain conciseness. She had been lying on her side, now she perched herself up with her elbow. She looked around. "Where am I?"

The area surrounded her didn't look much different from where was previously before falling. Everything was covered in snow, but the sky here was black mixed with an eerie red color. The sky like that gave her chills. She brushed herself off as she got up then stopped.

"Kudamon?!" She shouted in a panic. She didn't know where her partner had gone. She desperately searched through the snow, her heart thumping against her chest in worry. Finally, after noticing a small pile of snow and digging at it she found her partner. She was knocked out and when she picked her up in her arms she realized she was freezing.

"Oh, Kudamon." She frowned down at her Digimon, then held her close to her chest, hoping to get her warmed up. "I hope you'll be okay."

Emiko started to walk through the snowy valley. She didn't know where she was going, but she did know she had to find a way back to the others.

She was holding Kudamon close to her when a large Digimon jumped in front of her. She stumbled back, trying not to fall, but landed on her bottom anyway.

"Are you the Halfling?" His voice was rough and booming, making the blue-haired girl jump slightly.

"Who are you?" Emiko asked, trying to not seem scared.

The large black and white wolf like Digimon who had golden eyes glared then snapped at her, "Are you the Halfling?!"

Emiko was getting tired of being pushed around. She glared back at the digimon. "And what if I am?"

"Then I will destroy you." BlackGarurumon growled.

Emiko's heart sank to her stomach.

"She is not the one you seek." Kudamon muffled out from Emiko's chest, poking her head out.

"Kudamon!" Emiko kissed her on the head. "I was so worried about you."

"If she is not the Halfling, then who is?" BlackGarurumon snapped his teeth at Emiko and Kudamon, making the human girl jump.

Kudamon glared at the virus type Digimon. "The child is a boy. That is all I know. Now leave us alone!"

"Kudamon, you know what he is talking about? What's a Halfling and who is it?" Emiko looked at her partner confused and curious.

Kudamon looked up at Emiko and hesitantly answered. "The word Halfling here is equifilant to the human word Hybrid. The Halfling they are searching for is half Digimon...and half human."

Emiko's dark blue eyes grew wide. "Is that possible?"

Kudamon nodded slowly. "Yes, however, they are highly dangerous and there was only one ever known in existence until 12 years ago.."

BlackGarurumon snarled. "You seem to know a lot about this Halfling. I think you even know who it is!"

"Who is it?" Emiko also wanted to know.

Kudamon gave Emiko a heartfelt look and a frown on her face. Putting together everything Kudamon had just told her, and all the events that had happened since all of them had been there, she stopped breathing. "No.." She said under her breath.

"TELL ME WHO THE CHILD IS NOW!" BlackGarurumon barked at them. "Or I will rip you both apart!" He growled.

Emiko glared over at BlackGarurumon, then stood up, still holding Kudamon in her arms. "You can try, but we will never tell!" She yelled at the giant Wolf digimon.

Kudamon was impressed with her partner's new found bravery. She glared at BlackGarurumon now, also, and hissed. BlackGarurumon growled. "I accept your challenge!"

"Let's do this, Kudamon!" Emiko yelled, Kudamon jumping out of her partner's arms, as she pulled out her dark purple and white digivice. "Time to digivolve!" Emiko's digivice started to give off a purple glow that surrounded Kudamon.


Kudamon digivolve toooo...REPPAMON!


Emiko's eyes glistened with awe as she saw her partner's Champion form. "Totally cool." She said under her breath.

Reppamon resembled a fox. Her fur was a light brown, expect for her 4 paws that were all a dark brown. Each which were holding three sharp black claws. However, her face looked more like a mask, bearing the colors white and brown. She also had a white mane around her neck and a red and white rope hung around her neck as well. She had the Yin and Yang symbol on both of her hips, and her tail was a giant blade.

Reppamon was super fast, and running circles around her opponent, BlackGarurumon, who kept trying to hit her with one of his Fox Fire attacks.

"RAZOR WIND!" Reppamon curled into a tight ball, and rolled into BlackGarurumon, making he yell in pain as he flew back a bit. Reppamon then jumped at him. "LION CLAW!" She wildly tore at the larger beast digimon with her sharp claws, making him scream in pain.

Reppamon huffed and puffed heavily as she stared at her wounded opponent. She was tired, but she was sure he was defeated.

"Great job, Reppamon!" Emiko cheered from behind her digimon, who looked back at her and smiled.

"Reppa-" But Emiko was too late.

BlackGarurumon hit Reppamon with his Wolf Cry attack. Sending a forceful shockwave at her and throwing her far back, getting buried by some snow.

"No!" Emiko ran to her partner's side as fast as she could.

BlackGarurumon laughed, but it ended up in a cough. He was weak, and couldn't move now. He had used the last bit of his energy to use his Wolf Cry attack. Emiko heard him laugh and glared over at him. She stomped over to him, her hands in fists.

"His name is, Takato." She then kicked BlackGarurumon in the nose and it made him disintegrate into data.

"Oh my gosh, I killed him." Emiko realized in horror as his data floated away.

"No, Emi. He will be reborn a better Digimon at Primary Village." Reppamon walked up behind her blue-haired, blue-eyed partner.

Emiko smiled. "Good!" Then flung her arms around Reppamon's neck.

"Get on my back. I'm going to get us out of here." Reppamon nudged Emiko with her nose.

"You think you can?" Emiko asked, climbing on Reppamon's back.

"These claws were made for climbing." Reppamon gloated then jumped up at the area's rock walls and made her way up.


Takato and Dobermon hit water. The hit was so strong and sudden it made Takato lose his grip on Dobermon and float a ways from him. And since he had been screaming when they fell, he had swallowed water on impact. He struggled to get to the surface, it wasn't helping he was panicking. He noticed his partner trying to get to him, but could tell something was wrong with his right back leg. Takato started to feel dizzy and the world around him started to fade to black.
