N/D: yes I am alive…I think…anyway this chapter holds a turning point in the story big or small its up to you. But seeing as no one is sending in ideas the length of this story is going to be rather small unless people start asking for something to happen. One person has I'm putting it in so just ask XD anything can be requested XD I'm also thinking of doing a pairing with Will but not with one of the main characters so if anyone wants to be paired up with anyone just ask. I am willing to do a MattxOC or TaixOC so just ask…or do you want this story to end quickly? XD

Falling

One eye opened lazily. Light shot into it causing some discomfort so it closed again. They eye opened again and blinked rapidly allowing it become used to the light. Then the eye opposite did the same. Will sat up and raised a hand to his forehead as he has a terrible headache. He flipped his digivice over on his wrist to see the time only to discover the screen had a crack in it. As he began to take in his surroundings he stood groggily. He was in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees with a small lake near by. Judging by the colour of the sky it was sometime in the evening. It was then he realised there were hundreds of Digidestined all around. Some injured, others talking and the rest were either working or sleeping. Then the days events replayed in his head. The Waspmon invading, the fighting, the swarms, Lightmon getting deleted…Lightmon was deleted…No matter how often he thought about it, it just didn't seem real. He looked around as if Lightmon was going to jump him any second.

And then he noticed it. There were more humans then Digimon. He wasn't the only one who had lost a partner.

Tai looked up from where he was with Agumon and saw Will in the distance standing up. Tai sighed and began walking over. Many digidestined had lost their partners in the fight. Mainly those who could only get to the champion level. But for a mega to be deleted? It didn't seem right. Agumon felt ashamed of himself as it was his friend who had died protecting him. When Tai got near he could see Will was almost crying. Tai put a hand on Wills shoulder and muttered,

"Sorry." When Will realised it was Tai he shook his head and turned his head and asked,

"What happened? I don't remember much after…actually what did happen to me… I remember becoming a digimon…" Will looked down at his hands as if to check he was still human.

"Well...you did become a digimon , after you passed out Lowemon grabbed us and with Victory Greymon we had to abandon Odaiba. We lost…we don't know who attacked us though…" Will clenched his fists in anger.

"It was the abyss…should never have expected it to stick to its word!"

"Just calm down, there's nothing you can do without a digimon partner." Will sighed, Tai was right. But then Will remembered what happened when he become a digimon. He pressed a few buttons on his digivice to see if it still worked and when it lit up he almost jumped with joy.

"I still have Lightmon's data!! Where's Izzy? He might know how to reform Lightmon!" Tai looked down.

"We don't know where he is…" Will didn't say anything.

"We don't know where Joe or Matt are either…I heard that they were fighting together so they might have come to digital world with us...but we just don't know." Will started to walk off but muttered,

" I'm going to get cleaned up…"

Will had walked over to the small lake and was splashing water over his face. Three of his friends missing and Lightmon was gone. Today couldn't get any worse. He looked at his reflection for a minute in the water. His medium length hair was as shaggy as ever and his skin looked even paler. His t-shirt which had a flaming skull on it was beginning to fade. He looked down at his dark blue jeans which looked faded from use. They were even more torn then usual with pieces latterly hanging by a thread. But his black DC's look perfectly fine. Almost as if he hadn't been standing in them when the whole city was under attack. He sighed and leaned back to lie down on the grass before catching a glimpse of someone across the lake from him. As the lake was very small he could easily see the girl in front of him. She had short hair, which had been dyed black. She was wearing a red t-shirt and dark blue jeans along with Brown boots. She also had a necklace with an orange stone hanging off of it.

" Maya?" He asked. The girl in question looked up , her green-greyish eyes full of surprise.

"Will!" She said happily. Will laughed lightly as he saw her partner Wyvernmon, the snake digimon that went up to her waist. Silver strips adorned her body. A pair of red wings and brown gloves on her feet.

"Haven't seen you in a while." Will and Maya had met on a trip to the digital world during the time Will was with his own group in Ireland. He had gotten lost for a few weeks and had bumped into Maya.

"Yeah its been like a year." she looked around quietly as Will wondered what she was looking for,

"Where's Lightmon?" she asked, he looked down,

"Deleted by Tigervespamon." he answered simply. She looked at him as if she was going to say something but she couldn't say anything. Wyvernmon looked upset as well.

"But...somehow his data got stored in my digivice." and he began to tell his story of him becoming Neo Strikemon. The two just sat there talking quietly before their attention was grabbed by the screams of the camped digidestined. The two quickly rushed back into the camp.

When they reached camp they saw a large wolf made of bones with wings and black matter was running around camp. No one had enough energy to make their digimon digivolve so it could take care of the ultimate level. Will didn't know if he had the energy to change into Neo Strikemon , then again Will didn't know how to become Neo Strikemon. He saw the large undead wolf charging towards some of the injured and realised he needed to become Neo and fast! Will shut his eyes in concentration and began focusing on that strange yellow egg of data forming around him. He remembered the odd tingling all over which must have been him becoming Neo. When he snapped his eyes open he was the grey knight once again. He charged towards the digimon , choosing to shoulder barge it as any other attack would have hurt others. The wolf like digimon stumbled as it got up from the floor and charged towards Neo Strikemon . Neo grabbed its jaws to stop it from biting him. He lifted it off the ground and threw it as hard as he could into the sky. Then his gauntlets charged and he took aim.

"Lightning arrows!" he shouted and shot hundred of arrows at the wolf digimon which would have seriously injured it as it also landed somewhere else in the forest. From that little fight he guessed he was around the mega level. A light engulfed him and he dropped to the floor but this time he didn't pass out. Gennai came racing over. He still looked as young as ever.

"What happened here?" he asked as he looked over what was left of the camp.

"Some digimon randomly attacked…most likely we are on its territory." Maya had thought it threw as Will had fought the SkullBaluchimon. He walked past Will and silently muttered,

"Meet me in the clearing in ten minutes." Will looked to Maya who stood there looking around at the damage.

"I'll be back in a little bit." She looked up and nodded.

As Will had ten minutes he decided to walk around the makeshift camp. Everywhere you went there was a digimon or digidestined. Fires were lit every few meters. From the sky it must have looked like a beacon. He carried on walking until he heard a familiar voice shouting.

" SAM! SAM! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Will turned his head to see Kouichi shouting as he wondered around the camp. Will's slight smile faded. Losing a partner was a terrible thing but losing someone you loved was far, far worse. But he saw Kouichi flash a huge smile when something caught his eye. Will looked to where Kouichi was looking and saw Sam and Gatomon running over. When the two met they embraced and just stood there. Will smiled and looked away. They were lucky. Maybe he would be as well. But he doubted it. His look had never been good. For some reason Sora flashed in his mind. Be blushed lightly and shook his head. He'd have to check if she was okay after he had talked to Gennai. He carried on to where he was meeting Gennai.

When he reached the clearing he saw a familiar figure,

"Hey Reno what you doing here?" he asked,

"Hey Will , Gennai asked me to meet him here , you?"

"Same thing." Will looked over at Reno's partner, Dagmon,

"Is it me…or has Dagmon gotten bigger?" he smirked slightly,

"Yeah he's been eating anything and everything…." Dagmon bared his teeth at the pair as they laughed. When Will had stopped laughing he began to talk ,

"So where were you in the fight with the Waspmon?" Reno looked up ,

"Sam and I were on a mission for Gennai he always calls at awkward times." He sighed

"Mission eh? What was it?"

"Well we had to.." But the two were cut short.

"Will , Reno! I got a job for you!" the pair groaned.

"Shut up and listen!" The two snapped to attention whilst Dagmon laughed.

"I need you two to get to Azulongmon as fast as you can. He's under attack and needs help quickly!" Will stared blankly for a number or reason. Azulongmon was a god he didn't need help. They had just had a huge battle in Odaiba and there were being sent into another one?
"Isn't he a god why does he need our help?" Reno was thinking the same thing.

"This digimon seems to have something giving it energy. Its not from the abyss before you do anything Will. It seems to match the Dark ocean. But that's beyond the point. Get going now! Head east you'll find him soon enough he's heading towards us. Protect him until he's inside our camp"

Will , Reno and Dagmon quickly ran off.

The three were now standing atop a cliff. Will was now Neo Strikemon. Which had surprised Reno a fair bit. Dagmon had digivolved to his mega level. Sabremon. A dark knight digimon. On his left arm is a shield with notches covering the outer edge, the symbol of fate emblazoned on its centre. Black Wings extend from his back, and in his right hand is a sword, blade black as midnight. Covering his chest are two knife bandoliers. The two had come up with an idea as neither of them could fly. They just had to get close enough first and so they waited. When Azulongmon had come within distance they could see a knight wrapped in darkness. It oozed off him. The knight appeared to have no weapons. Azulongmon was shooting lighting at the knight but it had no effect. Within seconds Azulongmon and the knight flew over. Neo Strikemon leapt into the air. He was right in front of the knight and the two exchanged a few punches before Neo grabbed onto him and let gravity take effect before smashing into the earth below the cliff. Sabremon and Reno carried on with Azulongmon. When he was safe they would come and back up Will. He just had to survive first.

Below the cliff, the knight had forced Neo off of him and was no assaulting him with punch after punch. Neo attempted to block most of them but they were so powerful they just dented his armour. The knight attempted to kick Neo in the head but just before he could Neo grabbed the leg, charged up a lightning arrow in his hand and threw it into the knights face sending him back a few yards. He charged up two more, one in each hand. He threw a punch to the left but the knight caught it , Neo detonated it anyway. As the knight was caught by surprise Neo threw another punch to the right, with his opposite hand and caused to knight to fly into the air and land on his back. As Neo blinked he walked forward but when he reopened his eyes, the knight was gone. The next thing he felt was a huge force against his chest and flying through the air before hitting the cliff wall leaving a nice imprint. But before he could fall the Knight flew into him and the two disappeared into the cliff. Only to explode out of it at the top before the knight slammed Neo into the ground.

Meanwhile back at the camp, the many digidestined who had never seen Azulongmon were awe struck. Kouichi had ran into Reno before asking what was going on. As Reno explained Kouichi's eyes widened.

"You left him to fight a digimon of that power!? He could be killed!!" He quickly spirit evolved into Lowemon and began to head towards where Will and the knight were fighting. But Sam came up from behind him calling his name and asking him where he was going.

"I'm…just going to see if I can help Will." He knew she'd only worry if he told her what sort of Digimon he'd be fighting.

"Okay…just be careful…knowing you two its dangerous, please come back in one piece." She was wrecked with worry and was doing her best not to show it.

"Promise." He then took off towards Will. Reno watched as he looked towards Sabremon.

"Go with him." He said and Sabremon quickly followed him. The two were left alone with Azulongmon and the many Digidestined.

"Its really dangerous isn't it?…What their about to do I mean." Reno sighed, no point in lying.

"Yeah…but don't worry. They can handle themselves."

Neo had summoned his sword only to see the knight break it by merely punching it. Neo put both his hand together and charged them. They crackled with lightning. He kept charging it as the knight walked closer and closer. Just before the knight could reach him he let the energy go off in a straight beam of pure energy. When it hit him it forced it back before finally forcing him off his feet and off the cliff. Neo's armour was more or less gone. Cracked and hanging off him. All from mere punches. Not one real attack. He walked over to the cliff and peered down only to open his eyes in shock. Before he could react the knight had flew up and grabbed him. He then curved and smashed him into the ground. Holding him by his throat, crushing his windpipe. There was nothing he could do. He was starting to loose consciousness from lack of air. He brought up both of his feet and forced the knight off him and as hard as possible. The knight staggered back a few meters but it was enough room. He flipped himself up to ready an attack. He looked at the knight. His left arm was glowing purple. What ever that was it could be good. Neo began to charge every bit of energy he could into his right arm. The arm began to crackle. The two rushed forward and the two fists met. The resulting explosion was terrible.

The entire area was destroyed. Nothing would ever live here again. The light from the attack could be seen for miles. Neo Strikemon barely managed to keep his form together as he lay in the earth, severely injured. He couldn't even move. He saw the knight walking towards him. It stood above him. He didn't even know the knights name. The knight placed both hands next to each other and gather a large orb of purple energy. It was twice the size of a terra force. The knight muttered one thing.

"Sorry" before bringing the huge orb down. A huge pillar of purple energy could be seen for hundreds of miles around. Anything that was caught in it was destroyed immediately. In the years to come that land would be forever known as "The devastated crater." the last thing that Will felt was a sensation of fire. Then nothing more.

Lowemon and Sabremon had felt the heat and force from the two attacks a short while after leaving camp. The force of the final attack had knocked the pair to the floor. They had reached the area of land just in time to see the final bit if the cliff crumble and fall. It looked nothing like the lush forest it had been a few minutes ago. Now it was a huge indentation in the earth , grey and barren. Nothing could live here. Something sparkled in the distance. They leapt down , careful of where they stepped as if the land would give away at any moment. They picked up the object to find it was what was left of Will's wristband digivice. Very little of the strap was left, and the main digivice which belonged to will was completely gone. Only a small corner was left. The piece which the antenna jutted out almost untouched. The pair stood there knowing what had happened and soon left for camp.

When the two returned to camp they were joined with the entire group of Digidestined. They had all been reunited except for Matt and Joe who were now labelled as MIA. Izzy had heard about what was happening when he had stumbled into camp with Tentomon. He had a sprained ankle but other then that he was okay. As were everyone else. Lowemon and Sabremon had de-digivolved and now stood in front of the group which was soon joined by Gennai. When they asked where was Will , Kouichi said nothing and merely offered what was left of his digivice. Everyone looked down or walked away knowing what had happened. Sora , Tai and Kari had tears running down their cheeks. Ken wished he had gotten to know him better. Izzy sat down and began typing into his Digidestined database which he started after defeating Malomyotismon. He went into Will's file which had a picture of him smiling. It had been taken from the group picture of Tai , Matt , Davis , T.K. and of course Will. He edited his profile with the following details.
