Author's Note: Jun has Adventure 02 Digivice.

I do not own anything.


Chapter Six: Downpour of Sorrow

This time things were easier for Jun probably due to the fact she had a six foot one muscular brute walking beside her. Orgemon took the lead with his enhanced senses being able to alert them to danger and Jun sticking close behind him. The forest hadn't diminished in terms of creepiness or moisture. A light rain had begun falling once again only this time it wasn't so much as chilling to Jun as a constant reminder she was still in hostile territory. Through the once empty air she could now smell the smoke of fires burning as well as Orgemon's less than favorable odor.

"Well he is an ogre after all." Jun once thought after taking her first whiff of the green digimon's bodily scent.

Orgemon on the other hand was busy sniffing the air for any scent he could pick up, preferably that of food or gas like you'd find in a house or town. Even towns in the Digital World (no matter how or oddball they were) had the faintest of scents or smells. Like all things in this world there was nothing save for Jun's slight fruity scent. That was exactly how he planned on keeping his partner safe.

Soon the grass became incredibly soggy as the rain continued to increase in intensity. Jun and Orgemon stopped under a giant tree to take cover, preferable for Jun who feared she'd catch a cold being out in the rain for so long. Her fears were confirmed when she sneezed.

"Can't this thing project a map or something? It could turn into a flash light but it can't bring up some kind of mini-map or anything?" Jun bitterly asked staring at her Digivice.

"Even if it could I doubt it'd be of any use." Orgemon said staring at the rain. "The Dark Ocean is an uncharted area. Hell even the Digimon Sovereigns only know a little about it."

Jun wanted to ask who these sovereigns were but figured it could wait for another time. For once Jun took the time to examine herself. Her entire body was covered with mud, her jeans and shirt torn in several places, her jacket had long been lost leaving her in her thin orange t-shirt. The cold air started hitting her full force causing her to wrap her arms around herself.

BLEEP!

"Huh?" Reaching down Jun brought her Digivice to see four red dots were now blinking on the screen. Eyes widening in horror she saw Orgemon had a serious expression on his face. "Run!"

Throwing away his pride Orgemon took off with Jun just as something large came crashing through the trees. Orgemon knew it as a SkullSatamon. He grabbed Jun and hosted her onto his shoulder before picking up his pace. He didn't want to see whatever had downed an Ultimate level of that caliber. Jun kept one eye on her Digivice and the other on the aerial battle taking place. This time the devil digimon appeared to be losing badly with one dropping out of the sky after another. From the corner of her left she saw a blast of ice heading straight for them.

"Orgemon!"

Still holding Jun Orgemon spun on his left heel bringing his fist forward. "Pummel Whack!"

The green blast canceled out the ice blast in the process destroying a tree. Lowering her down Orgemon fired two more Pummel Whacks with both his fists. The attacks flew through darkness until Jun heard them collide with something. A moment later it sounded like ice was breaking apart. Not wasting time to ponder what they'd just defeated the two took off again, this time finding themselves running along a river. Jun glanced at the river seeing a shadow rapidly coming up upon them.

Just when the digimon jumped out of the water, both its claws snapping Orgemon fired a green blast into its face. Ebidramon growled in angry before lunging at the two. Orgemon brought his club down on top his head then kneed him right in the under belly. His senses perked up alerting him to the gang of Boogeymon that had surrounded them. Grabbing tight hold of the dramon-type Orgemon swung him into the air turning him into a shield for the Boogeymon's collective fire.

"Is there any way out of this?" Jun called over the rain.

"Hell if I know! Just keep running and don't slow down!"

That was much easier done for Orgemon who was built like a living tank as opposed to Jun who was nearly out of breath. A red shadow swiped past her and the next thing she knew the ground was growing further and further away. Seeing the shocked look on Orgemon's face confirmed Jun's fear. The Boogeymon continued flying her higher into the air until Jun could barely see the ground anymore. Bringing its face level with hers she had to fight the urge to scream.

"Ohhhhh," Boogeymon said in a childish yet extremely frightening voice. "So this is what a human looks like up close. You smell kind of funny but I gotta admit you're cute."

She thought about wiggling to get out of the vice grip he had on her ankle but seeing how high above they were she immediately scrapped the idea. Then he licked her face.

"Don't touch me you little freak!" With her other leg she managed to kick Boogeymon in the face.

"Gah! You little bitch!" Boogeymon's eyes began to glow bright red. "I'll teach you to mess with me!"

Exactly at the right time Jun brought her Digivice up flashing the light directly in Boogeymon's eyes. The red glow seemed to implode on Boogeymon's face making him drop Jun and cover his smoking eyes in pain. Now she was plummeting into the forest with no way of stopping herself.

"Orgemon!" Jun called into the forest while tucking herself into a ball. At the very least it would lessen some of the impact if she was lucky.

Just when she thought her body would splatter against the tree branches or ground Jun felt a strong set of muscles envelope her then the wind and rain rushing past her. She didn't need to open her eyes to know she was in Orgemon's arms.

"That was a close one huh?" He joked.

"I think we all this is over I'm going to take a nice long break from wilderness survival." Jun said catching her breath.

Orgemon's ears picked up a small humming sound that only grew in magnitude. At first he thought it was insect wings buzzing however soon he realized it was something more. Something worse. It was laughter.

"My, my, I never thought I'd see this Orgemon. You protecting a lowly human, becoming a slave to a human master! Hah! My how the digimon hunter has fallen."

Jun saw a bright flash of red followed by black then she was rolling across the ground again.


Mimi had come to hate the rain. Whatever you wore it ruined it, when it passed everything was all wet and slippery. Worst of all it always seemed to reflect whatever sadness was eating away at people hearts. In this case it seemed like the Digital World was experiencing a global rain storm. Everyone had called in saying it was raining or had rained while they were searching.

Izzy had managed to get his home computer's Digiport fixed so they could go to the Digital World but they were on a time limit. They'd already used three and a half of the four hours Izzy could keep the gate open but they'd made them count. They'd searched every place they could think of, all the areas that used host Control Spires and anybody of water they could. In the end they kept coming up with nothing. Now here she, Sora, Joe, Tai, and Willis had retreated to Gennai's house. She'd stopped to take a break while Tai and Willis continued searching however they all knew deep down they weren't going to find anything. Sora had joined her by a window with a sad expression of her own.

"Was all this my fault?" Was the question they were both mentally pondering.

It was their talk that had pushed Jun into confronting Matt only for things to go so wrong. None of this was Matt's fault and no body blamed him, save for Davis though they all knew he'd get over it, however the guilt still lingered. Their cups of tea sat before both of them, half empty just like their hearts.

"I don't think I can ever remember a time it's rained this much in the Digital World." Sora said watching the rain fall from the sky. "Even with all the crazy weather it goes through."

Mimi merely nodded her head in agreement. It was a terrible feeling, having someone you care about missing and not having a way to get to them. She'd experience the same thing when she and Joe broke off form the group the first time. Not knowing where everyone was or if they were alright was torture. She could only imagine how Davis was feeling.

"Wherever Jun is I hope she's under some cover." Mimi whispered. "Do you think it rains in the Dark Ocean? What if she's sleeping in the cold? What if she's being attacked? Oh god Sora what if she's-"

Sora cut her off with a swift hug while she let some tears stain on her shoulder. Sora didn't blame Mimi's mind for wondering off to the worst case scenario, admittedly she was fighting off the same. "I'm sure she's fine. Mimi we both know Jun isn't the same girl she was nearly a year ago. She's stronger than that."

The sound of footsteps on the floor brought their attention to the door where they saw an utterly drenched Joe staying in the doorway. "I'm just here to rest for a little bit. I'll be out in a minute."

Sora could clearly see through Joe's statement. "Mimi look after Joe. Biyomon and I are going to go look with the others, after that we'll have to call it a day." Just before Sora left she saw Mimi run into one of the closets and pull out a few blankets she quickly threw over their sneezing blue haired friend. The level of concern in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Mimi stop please you don't have to do all this." Joe said trying to stop Mimi from practically suffocating him with the towel. "I'm fine, really…" Joe stopped when he realized Mimi's hands were trembling with fear. Slowly he wrapped his arms around her hoping that would ease her fears. "We'll try again tomorrow."

"I know Joe but what are we going to tell Davis's parents?" Mimi asked.

That was the problem Joe, Tai, and Matt had been trying to wrap their heads around. They'd gone over and over a million different excuses for why Jun wasn't going to be home. Some options had a better chance of working while others were ruled out immediately, specifically ones involving Matt or music. It took a fair bit of thinking but they were able to come up with a plan.

"We're going to say she's staying at your house for a school project."

That brought a small smile to Mimi's face. "How nice of you."

"Well we were going to say Sora's but given that whole Sora-Matt thing we thought you'd be a better fit, besides Sora said you two get along well."

"What about the next day?" Mimi waited for Joe to answer however nothing came out of his mouth.

Mimi pulled Joe closer to her putting them both in a very compromising position that strangely didn't mind. Even after searching through the rain he could still smell the fruity scent of her hair and body. She hadn't dyed her again either. Joe mentally smiled he always thought she looked nicer with her natural hair. Mimi could feel the warmth of Joe's body through his soaked clothing and deeply enjoyed the feel of his arms around her. Somewhere inside she felt sicken by herself, Jun was out there alone while she was here, in the arms of a persons she knew would protect her at all cost. It didn't seem fair.


Davis and DemiVeemon were taking their time home when they all returned to the Human World. It was raining there too.

"Davis are you sure you don't want to borrow an umbrella?" Kari offered as the younger goggle head headed out.

When Davis looked at her Kari felt like she was looking at a totally different person. His eyes didn't hold the shine or excitement they normally did, even when they were facing a crisis there was at least a spark however now there was nothing. It was painful to watch just as it was to see something similar in DemiVeemon's eyes. Shaking their heads they headed out into the rain with only Davis's hoodie shielding his head from the rain and DemiVeemon taking his place inside his almost totally zipped bag.

Walking down the street Davis seemed almost dead to the world, only reacting when crossing the streets. It seemed cruel how he only remembered all of his sister's lectures when she was gone. "DemiVeemon you don't mind if I…take my time do you?"

Poking his head out of the bag the blue Digimon softly replied, "Of course Davis. I really don't feel like going home yet either."

The second leader of the DigiDestined had a feint idea of where he was going when he stepped off his normal path from Izzy's house. He knew at least three alternate routes to take to get back to his apartment that would take him longer than usual. That would give him time to think if he didn't accidentally wonder into traffic or into anything harder than his head.

"You need to be careful or one day you're going to run into something harder than your head!"

"She wasn't supposed to have anything to do with any of this." Davis whispered ignoring the splash his shoes made in a growing puddle. "Why did she have to get mixed up in all this? And why now at the worst time possible?"

DemiVeemon remained silent to his partner's question. "I wish I knew Davis. Do you think all this was planned by someone? Someone smarter than Oikawa or MaloMyotismon?"

With one hand Davis gently rubbed DemiVeemon's head while his other hand curled into a tight fist. If someone had planned this then Davis would find them and introduce them to his fist. His mind boiled at the thought someone like Oikawa or MaloMyotismon pulling strings behind everyone's backs.

"Is it too much to ask for the bad guys to face us like men?" Davis quietly whispered.

"Maybe they just know we're going to hand them a major butt-kicking!" DemiVeemon once again piped in.

Davis laughed lightly then turned his head to a window. Posters for the Rock N' Royal were plastered everywhere with instruments on display in some windows with price reductions. New anger began boiling inside of Davis staring at the instruments and posters. It was because of these stupid things his sister was God knows where with no way of contacting them or being found. Lately he'd been feeling a similar rage against Matt.

Now he was walking past more signs and advertisements causing his anger to only grow in size. Inside he knew the Bearer of the Crest of Friendship wasn't to blame but he couldn't help but feel anger at him. It was his fault Jun had ran off. His fault she'd probably felt like shit. How'd all this even happen? Out of all of them wasn't he supposed to be one of the sensible ones who always kept his cool? How the hell did that translate into using his guitar as a baseball bat?

"I should have punched him when I had the chance." Davis thought bitterly.

Time seemed to fly by as one minute he was walking the street and the next he was standing before his apartment door. The door might as well have had "You Failed Loser" written on it for all the misery and regret Davis felt reaching for the handle. The door knob felt cold either from the rain water on Davis's hands or his own anxiety. Turning the knob felt like smashing his hand with a hammer with every sound it made then he pushed the door open.

"Davis! Do you have any idea how late it is? What happened to you? You're totally soaking wet!" He heard his mother call. "Stay right there I'm going to go get you a towel."

He heard his mother's footsteps but refused to turn towards the kitchen. Lying on the couch was his father who flashed him a smile. "We already got the call about Jun staying over at Mimi's. It may be spring but they're getting ready to grill you guys for the end of the year aren't they?"

Davis kept a controlled smile on his face as he nodded his face in agreement. A project, that's all he wished it was. Even as his mother began drying him off Davis still could only barely feel his body. All throughout the rest of the night he could a hole in himself no amount of laughter or food could fill. At dinner he always stole a glance at the empty chair his sister usually sat at. Normally they'd be arguing over who had a better day or trading wisecracks with each other. It was funny, he never really missed those moments until now.

He did his best to keep a straight face throughout dinner knowing his parents might catch anything out of the ordinary. It was almost scary how he managed to get through dinner, a shower, and lastly hit the bed. DemiVeemon quietly fell asleep however for Davis is was more difficult. He kept staring at the rain falling lightly against his window like any minute Jun was going to knock against it demanding to be let in.

"I'm the leader of the DigiDestined, I've fought at least two evil psychos so why the hell couldn't I save my sister?" Davis growled as he continued staring into the darkness. Holding his D-3 in his palm he prayed his sister was safe where ever she was.


"This wasn't part of the plan!" Chiyo all but roared into the phone.

"What hell are you talking about girl? As I recall you said your little soon to be mate wasn't to be touched and I've kept my end of the bargain!" Daemon's voice shot back from the other end.

Standing under the trees right next to the apartment complex Chiyo was glade almost no one was outside. A lone girl standing in the middle of the rain screaming into her phone would look quite strange. Her clothing was partially drenched from running around in the rain and her backpack, once full of supplies was now light as a feather. Yet her face which had been sullen mask all day had now become twisted in a fierce snarl.

"You took Jun." Chiyo started glaring into the red screen. "She had nothing to do with this Daemon. Nothing!"

"It's not my fault the bitch was in the wrong place at the wrong time! It's her own damn fault. Besides I can't control that Dagomon's puppets thought she looked like a good snack." Daemon wished her could reach out and strangle the girl for her insolence however he was restricted to this stupid piece of metal.

"She's in the Dark Ocean somewhere. You know where don't you?" Chiyo dangerously spoke.

Daemon's voice was just as controlled as hers. "The moment I do find her I promise you I'll send her back to your pathetic world. With all the noise she makes she shouldn't be too hard to find."

"I'm going to the Dark Ocean."

"NO!" His voice boomed like thunder in the night rain. "I can find your little friend. I need you here, watching those Digi-brats. Don't you trust me enough to do that?"

"Gee Daemon, between the two of us which one is a demon bent unleashing hell on two worlds?" Chiyo hotly replied.

If she could have seen Daemon's face then she would have seen the sadistic grin through his collar. "Touché my dear. Answer me this; which one of us is the pathetic whore who constantly tried to end her own worthless life? The one hated by their own mother? The one who's always going to be playing second to everyone else?" His voice grew darker with delight. "The one who's probably going to die alone in some small shack while the one she loves goes on to mate with another girl, love her, start a family with her, and achieve his dream? Call me a demon but hey Chiyo, I've got an army, what have you got? I'll come back one day but you…we both now a place like this is exactly where you're going to be buried, a place people pass through every day and not pay it the slightest thought. A nothing."

She couldn't feel the rain on her clothes. She couldn't feel the cold night air passing through. She couldn't feel the phone trembling in her hand. All Chiyo could feel were her legs buckling before they hit the dirt and tears running down her cheeks alongside the rain drops. Her entire body seemed to shake not from the wind but from interior coldness spreading through her.

"Get up Chiyo." Daemon's cold voice sounded faint in her ears. "Get-up you worthless sack of flesh and bones!" From his end Daemon guessed she was still kneeling in the dirt. "Get up and get back to that pathetic excuse for a home, you need some rest for your next task. If you do you'll be one step closer to proving you're not the exact same as those homeless beggars you passed on the street."

It took time but eventually Daemon could hear the sound of shoes walking through the puddles forming in the concert. That was all he needed to hear then he hung up without a thought about Chiyo. The blue eyed girl walked slowly down the pathway, not caring if anyone saw her, lifeless and alone like a phantom in the rain.


"Jun run as fast as you can!" Orgemon cried struggling to break free of the death grip he was in.

"Be silent worm!" The LadyDevimon commanded squeezing Orgemon's neck with more force. "Is that anyway to act in the presence of ladies?" The female Virus-type turned to Jun with her cold red eyes. "I don't believe we've met before my dear."

Jun shot a quick look at her Digivice seeing LadyDevimon's picture and information come up. Getting past her wasn't going to be easy especially with Orgemon pinned down. Outrunning her wasn't an option, there was no way in hell she could overpower her so that meant she would have to outsmart her. How the hell do you outsmart a scary satanic vampire though?

"Pretty shabby place you guys call home huh?" Jun started hoping her voice didn't sound too frightened. "Seriously? All black and white? You guys do know time has passed in the outside world right? This isn't the thirties or some old cartoon ya' know."

LadyDevimon's face seemed to screw up but she didn't release her hold on Orgemon. "You dislike the scenery? If I recall girl you intruded here so you have no right to complain."

Darting her eyes at Orgemon she shot him a silent message. "You know it's probably better this way. I bet you wouldn't look in any nicer in color anyway, what with the bat wings, grandma nails and hooker outfit. I don't think even the most desperate of guys would come near you. Maybe those freaky squid-men but that's still an if right?" Jun gave short hardy laugh enjoying the rage she saw building in LadyDevimon's face.

Dropping Orgemon the she-devil lunged at Jun with her nails turning into a sharpened spear tip. Falling back Jun activated her Digivice's flashlight just when she was sure LadyDevimon was right in front of her. Shrieking in fury she knew saw Orgemon's club slam into her skull like baseball bat. Turning her head to attack she raised her claws only for Orgemon to grab her left hand in a vice grip then drive his fist directly into her gut. He followed the jab with an uppercut that seemed to lift LadyDevimon into the air before she recovered her wits.

"Evil Wing!" She screamed into the rain releasing hundreds of bats from her wings at the duo.

For Orgemon dodging the attack was easy enough but for Jun who was still trying to calm her heart down from having the she devil a mere inch away from her. She ran head first into a set of bushes that bats seemed to blast through pushing her into the trunk of a tree. Groaning in pain she looked up to see her partner engaged in a deadly battle with LadyDevimon. It was clear he was losing as LadyDevimon was wearing a sadistic grin throughout the whole thing, parrying Orgemon's swings, clawing him across his body or blasting him with more of her damned bats.

Frantically Jun searched for anything she could use as a distraction so Orgemon could go on the offensive. Spying a tree broken tree branch by her side Jun grabbed it and ran full speed at the battling Digimon.

LadyDevimon's sadistic grin changed into a hateful sneer when she felt the human charging her from behind. "Foolish little girl!" She taunted spinning around and slashing the tree branch apart with her Black Wing attack. "I am a Digimon! What hope do you have against-Ah!"

Pulling as hard as he could on her pale white hair Orgemon hefted the Ultimate Digimon into the air then slammed her into the ground. Putting one hand on her neck he began pummeling LadyDevimon's face over and over again. "First rule of battle; never turn your back on your opponent!"

Feeling her head cave in LadyDevimon swung her claws at Orgemon's face only for the Nightmare Soldier to jump back out of her reach. "Evil Wing!"

"Pummel Whack!"

The attacks collided causing an explosion that blinded LadyDevimon briefly enough for Orgemon to move in and deliver a good right hook to her face. In retaliation she swiftly kicked Orgemon in the lower abdomen. While Orgemon was slightly winded she brought her claws back then swung them in an upward arc wounding the Digimon Hunter.

"Now do you see what happens when a lowly foot soldier like you attempts to challenge a being of my caliber?" Her voice ringed in Orgemon's ears followed by another kick to the gut. "I am an Ultimate and you are a Champion! I am Fallen Angel and you are just a pathetic Nightmare Soldier!" A claws swipe to the cheek brought Orgemon to the ground with the evil Digimon standing over him. "You call yourself the Digimon Hunter, hubris. A real hunter never lets his prey get the better of them."

Instead of fear Orgemon's eyes held nothing but confidence and grim joy. "A good hunter also makes use of their surroundings."

Puzzled LadyDevimon didn't notice Jun was missing until she felt a large piece of wood slam into her skull with enough force to earn a cry of pain. "You little bitch!" Raising her claws again LadyDevimon brought them down only for Jun to revel another surprise.

"This ought to be an improvement over the stupid mask!" Hurling wet mud into her face made Jun's heart swell with pride.

Springing from the ground once more Orgemon drove his directly into his opponent's jawline sending her crashing through a tree trunk. "A good hunter never lets their prey escape their watch either!" Orgemon chuckled.

Howling in unholy fury the female Virus blasted one last wave of demonic bats at the duo with much more intensity but without better aim. Gripping his bone club in both hands Orgemon got in close meeting LadyDevimon eye-to-eye for the last time. "Bone Cudgel!"

This time LadyDevimon didn't get back up, her smashed in face dissolved into data followed by the rest of her body. Holding out one hand Orgemon felt the data flow into his body healing his wounds and giving him more energy than he had before. "And another one falls to the Digimon Hunter! What did I tell ya' Jun? We've got nothing to…Jun?"

The scent of blood hit Orgemon's noise before his eyes saw the red stream running down Jun's right arm. Said girl was lying on one knee with one hand clapped over the wound. Orgemon immediately rushed towards his partner berating himself for getting caught up in the heat of the moment.

"I-It's not bad right?" Jun asked. She was clearly shaken yet Orgemon could see she was handling the injury better than he expected. "I-I can still move my arm so that means it's not bad right?"

Examining the wound Orgemon let out a sigh of relief. "It's just a scratch. In about half an hour it'll be gone and your arm will be fine." Plucking some large leaves off the trees as well as pulling out some clothe from one of his pouches Orgemon bandaged the wound just as he always remembered Joe doing for. "I gotta say Jun that took some guts. Trash-talking a LadyDevimon, hitting her upside the head, then throwing mud in her eyes, one of the bravest things I'd ever saw!" Orgemon said with a grin.

Flexing her arm Jun began laughing despite her till wired nerves. "Hey if we're going to save the world don't you think I need to do some cool stunts like that?"
