Brother My Brother

Ryan was walking home after he left Rika's house, he had to say that he felt pretty good at the moment. He had taught Evan a lesson, he forgave Gatomon, and he got to know Rena a little better. Things were finally looking up for him. Also he couldn't wait for the party tommorrow, Rika's birthday would be so awesome. Ryan had just walked into the last street to his house, when all of a sudden, something shot at Ryan.

He dodged the blast and Ryan looked at his would be assassin, it was a small robot or to be more precise.....50 small robots coming at him. Ryan took his sword out and charged at the robots slashing through one after the other. But the more Ryan destroyed, the more there seemed to be. Ryan blocked a shot to his head and slammed his sword down onto one of them, and he kicked another one away while at the same time flipping over and slamming his sword into at least three of them. Then he stabbed his sword into the ground and spun around and around, smashing into one robot after the other. Ryan then backed up against a wall breathing hard, he was pretty badly surrounded and he didn't think he could take much more. Hell he could barely lift his sword now.

Ryan: "Aww man, why don't you guys just call it a day?!" Shouted Ryan as they came again. This time there was an even bigger one with a huge laser cannon for an arm. Ryan's eyes shot open and he just shook his head in disbeleif.

Ryan: "Oh crap........" Said Ryan as he charged at the giant robot, it fired the cannon at Ryan but he dodged it and jumped into the air. Then he slammed his sword down onto the giant robots head. It didn't even feel the blow and it slammed it's arm into Ryan's stomach, sending him into a wall. Ryan got up and tried to lift his sword up, but he couldn't even lift it off the ground, then the robot charged it's gun again.

Ryan: "Oh man, this isn't looking to good...." Said Ryan, as the robot prepared to fire. But then, there was the sound of metal cutting through metal, and the robot's gun arm fell off. Ryan looked at it, and then he looked around to see what destroyed the robot's arm. Then he saw who did it. It was Evan and he was just sitting on a flagpole smirking.

Evan: "Your my copy and your having a hard time with these peices of junk? That's insulting!" Shouted Evan, and he slashed through the robots in an instant. First he jumped on one and dove at 3 of them, destroying them. Then he slammed his sword into the ground creating a giant shockwave that destroyed even more of them. Finally his sword was surrounded by fire and he slammed his sword into one of the robots, then he threw it at the others. Then as soon as it reached the other ones, the fire reached the robots main core and it blew up, taking the other ones with it. All that was left, was 3 robots, they fired at Evan. He just stood there smirking, then when it looked like the bullets had hit him, he dissapeared and reapeared behind the robots. Then a couple of seconds later, they exploded. Evan sheathed his sword and walked over to Ryan who was just getting up, and Ryan sheathed his sword as well. Ryan also checked to make sure Renamon's glove was okay, it didn't have a scratch on it. Ryan sighed in releif and smiled.

Ryan: "Better late than never I suppose, but why did you save me? Last time I checked, didn't you want my head on a silver platter?" Asked Ryan, Evan mearly turned his head away.

Evan: "Yea well, I didn't come here to save you. If anyone is going to kill you, it's going to be me! But in the condition your in, this won't be a fair fight. So I'll let you live this time." Said Evan, and he walked away leaving Ryan alone. Ryan chuckled for a moment.

Ryan: "Well, I guess I still owe him one, after all....better to be saved by him, then be turned into swiss cheese." Said Ryan as he walked towards his house again.

Ryan had finally made it inside and just limped over to his bed and flopped down onto it. Then he sighed, and just looked at the ceiling. Then his right arm felt like it was on fire.

Ryan: ".....Damn....those things were tougher than I thought. Little bastards...." Said Ryan, and he walked over to his medical cabinet. He opened it and saw the straps that he had used for Renamon when she had gotten hurt. He took it and he had a tear in his eye remembering when he had bandaged Renamon up. Then he wrapped it around his right arm. It stung a bit, but he wasn't a baby and he took it like a man. Ryan then went over to his bed and decided to get some sleep.

With Evan........

Evan was walking towards the old building that the hideout was in, when he heard a scream. He looked around and didn't notice anyone in the immediate area. He shrugged and just kept walking, thinking that it was all in his head. After he reached the building, he tapped the wall again. The computer came out again and scanned him, then it beeped for a few moments, then it let him inside. He walked in to see his Renamon standing there with her arms crossed. Evan mearly chuckled.

Evan: "What? Did I do something wrong?" Asked Evan, Renamon2 just shook her head.

Renamon2: "Why did you help him? He is your enemy, I thought you said you wanted to kill him as quickly as possible so as to get your revenge." Said Renamon2, Evan mearly waved his hand.

Evan: "I couldn't kill a warrior who is weakened. That is dishonorable, and both he and I follow a code of honor." Evan calmly stated, Renamon2 just scoffed and walked outside, Evan scratched the back of his head. "Heh, women." Then he walked towards the statue and kneeled. The statue's eyes started glowing.

Statue: "I see you saved your copy, Evan. What I don't understand is....why?" Asked the statue, Evan shook his head.

Evan: "He was being chased down by the Necros. I assume they were going to use him against us. That's why I helped him." Said Evan, the statue's head nodded.

Statue: "I see....well no matter, now that their first group is destroyed, I don't beleive they will try another attack. It's possible that they may think you have sided with him. If he is attacked again, destroy the Necros, then bring him here....alive, understood?" Asked the statue, Evan nodded, then the statue's eyes stopped glowing. Evan took this as a sign to leave, and he got up and walked outside.

Evan noticed Renamon2 just sitting there on the building and looking at the moon, he smirked and walked behind her slowly and quietly. But before he could put his evil little plan into action, Renamon2 grabbed him and held him above her head with one arm. Evan sweat-dropped and Renamon2 just chuckled.

Renamon2: "Hehehe....who was THAT supposed to fool Evan?" Asked Renamon2 as she put Evan down, Evan dusted himself off.

Evan: "......Can't take a joke can you Rena?" Said Evan, Renamon2 mearly smirked and her fur dissapeared, and her tail retracted, and her ears turned into roundish ears. Then sitting there, was Rena. She then felt her hair on her head for a minute.

Rena: "I swear, I don't understand how you humans can live with hair only on your head. It just doesn't feel right." Said Rena, Evan just laughed and folded his arms.

Evan: "I don't understand how you can have it all over your body. It must feel like a toaster on a hot summer day." Said Evan, Rena shrugged and nodded. The two just looked at the moon for a moment, then Evan decided to break the silence.

Evan: "So....Ryan doesn't suspect a thing?" Asked Evan, Rena nodded.

Rena: "Yea, he has no idea who I really am. When I reveal myself, it might be quite a shock to him, huh Evan?" Said Rena, Evan nodded.

Evan: "Yes, but we can't have you revealing yourself just yet. He still needs more time to trust you, then when that's over and done with. Malomyotismon will take care of him. Then of course, our master will finally rise." Said Evan proudly, Rena just smiled and shook her head.

Rena: "You make it sound so easy, but I bet you honestly have no idea what you are getting yourself into. After all, he is YOUR copy." Said Rena with sarcasm in her voice, Evan just shrugged and walked towards the edge of the building they were standing on.

Evan: "If it comes down to that....I'll crush him......"

With Ryan........

It was still late at night when Ryan woke up. He stretched and rubbed his eyes with his left arm, since his right arm still hurt like Hell. He stood up and started pacing around the room just thinking about stuff. It was just really random stuff, nothing too important. But then his thoughts dwelt towards his time before he met Renamon. He remembered how alone he was when his parents died, but he never had a hard time. His parents had left him more than enough money to keep him going for possibly his whole life. His thoughts then dwelt towards the day that everyone told him that he was kidnapped, he could remember the cold wind on his face and everything. It was as if it had happened only yesterday.

7 years ago.......

Ryan felt odd, he couldn't feel anything, he could'nt feel the warmth of his bed, the love of his mother and father. All he did feel was the cold wind, and an unbearable pain. He woke up and stroked his eyes and looked around. He was in the old forest that his parents told him to never go into. He felt really afraid at that point. He had heard really scary stories from his mom and dad about ghosts and robbers in the forest at night.

Young Ryan: "Mommy....Daddy......where are you?" Asked Ryan, as he curled up in a ball against one of the trees trying to keep warm. He felt like he had waited for hours as soon as he heard a voice calling his name.

Voice: "Ryan?! Ryan are you there?!" Shouted the voice, Ryan knew that voice and smiled. Then he ran towards the voice as fast as he could. He saw that it was his father, Ryan ran towards him and jumped into his arms. His father smiled as soon as he saw him.

Young Ryan: "Daddy! I am so glad your here!" Cried Ryan, his father just smiled and hugged Ryan.

Father: "We were so worried about you Ryan. Are you alright?" Asked Ryan's father, Ryan nodded and wouldn't let go of his father. His father picked Ryan up and they started walking home. As soon as they reached the mansion Ryan saw his mother smile at the both of them, Ryan ran towards his mother and gave her a big hug, she smiled and hugged back. She was crying just like Ryan was, Ryan's father walked inside the house while Ryan was carried inside by his mother. She set Ryan down on his bed in his room, and then she left for the family library to meet with her husband. When she got there she was really sad and scared. Ryan's father was just deep in thought.

Mother: "Who do you think tried to kidnap our son dear? I don't understand." Said Ryan's mother, Ryan's father just shook his head and started pacing around the library.

Father: "Obviously some bandit wanted a ransom and tried to use Ryan as bait, but it seems they lost track of Ryan when they tried to get away." Said Ryan's father, Ryan's mother just started crying, and Ryan's father walked over to her and hugged her.

Mother: "How could they even think of doing that.....those......those evil people!" Cried Ryan's mother, Ryan's father just nodded and hugged her even tighter.

Father: "It's hard to beleive that there are scum like that in the world my dear. The world has changed much since we were young. Too much for my taste." Said Ryan's father. Ryan's mother couldn't beleive what had happened and just held onto Ryan's father as tight as she could. Unkown to both of them however, they saved the wrong Ryan, the real Ryan was long gone before his father even reached the copy. They would never learn the truth untill 3 years later that their Ryan was gone and the one they had was a fake.

End Flasback....

Ryan was really torn apart right now. He felt strange being a clone of someone else, but nonetheless he always felt out of place at the mansion back home. He just layed down on the bed and looked at the ceiling and sighed.

Ryan: "Heh, I guess things don't always work out the way we expect them too huh? And now I'm just talking to myself." Said Ryan, then he got up and took off his vest throwing it to the bed. Then he walked outside and just decided to take a walk again, but this time, he was fully aware if anything would attack him this time. As he walked on he felt something tingle in his head, felt like something was....calling to him. Ryan held his head in pain as images flashed through his head. They were blurry but he knew he could make out something......yellow? Ryan stood straight up and ran towards the area that his "tingle" told him to go. Fully aware of what he saw.

Unkown.........

Restoration at 100 percent...releasing subject.......

The tank that had been close for so long had finally opened and It had gotten out slowly. All the while It had been calling to him and It knew he was coming. It's fur was still wet as It dried itself off slowly. Then It smiled for the first time in a long while. And It just stood there, waiting for him to come....

Back with Ryan.......

Ryan had been running for a while and he was pretty tired, but he ignored his fatigue and kept going towards his destination and when he finally reached it, he took a good long look at it. The place was an abondoned warehouse, but Ryan felt that he should go inside. Once inside he looked around only to notice a lot and LOT of lab equipment, including a large tank in the middle of it all with a hell of a lot of wires in the middle of it. Ryan carefully made his way towards the tank and looked at all the water on the floor. He heard a footstep behind him and he turned around quickly. Then his eyes turned wide as he saw what he thought he felt earlier. He fell to his knees and saw It standing over him smiling.
