Quick note: The first little bit of this chapter is told from Beelzemon's POV and is Italics. Enjoy it!
Why? Why me? Why now? She's right, I've taken a ton of stuff, but I've given so much. I don't know a thing about her, but I can feel my heart breaking.
He said she was the one, maybe that's the problem. I didn't believe him. That just goes to show how smart I am. God…Why am I so blind? Why?
This stupid spell…it's made me softer. That's why I suffer now. That's why my heart breaks so easily now. I have no sympathy for humans or Digimon controlled by them, but Renamon…she's different.
They're barbaric, all of them. They kill each other for stupid causes. They take innocent lives before they even get a chance to truly live. They abuse and hurt each other for no reason…no reason at all.
Yet, even before this curse, I've always had a soft spot for little kids and orphans. It's a shame that they grow to be immoral adults. It's shame that everyone turns out that way…I turned out that way.
"Master!" T.K., now a mop (ha! Sorry T.K. fans), "Renamon…she's run away!".
Beelzemon jerked his head up. She couldn't have! He took up the mirror.
"Show me Renamon…NOW!" he demanded.
An image of the fox Digimon running through the forest appeared. She didn't notice another presence in that same wood, but he did. Chatsuramon, the dog deva, was on the Demon Lord's territory.
"Get Behemoth, tell the others to stay put".
"Yes, my lord" T.K. hopped down the hall.
All the while, Beelzemon armed himself. His claws alone weren't about to cut it (quite literally) with Chatsuramon. He'd need his tow cut double barreled shotguns. Beelzemon then went down to the main hall entrance where everyone was waiting.
"Stay here, all of you. Protect each other if Chatsuramon is to attack. Stuff is gonna happen, guys. If it does, and I'm not back in at least two hours, no one, I mean NO ONE, is to play the hero, got it?".
"Right!".
"None of you better be dead when I get back. I'm not gonna too happy if you are. Well, I'm off. Don't play hero, I mean it!".
"We'll be careful, master" Kari assured him.
"Good, that's what I like to hear" Beelzemon left to see his motorcycle waiting for him, "We gotta get to the fox before the hound does".
Chatsuramon was giving Renamon a hard time. He was hunting her down, wanting her data and energy. She tried to use a diamond storm attack, but it didn't seem to affect the dog deva. Next thing she knew, she was rolling around in snow trying to defend herself. If only Rika had been there, she would've been able to digivolve.
Chatsuramon had her pinned to the ground and was going for her throat. It seemed like the end, and Renamon closed her beautiful diamond eyes.
"Double Impact!".
Chatsuramon was blown off of Renamon. When she looked again, she saw Beelzemon mounted an awesome looking motorcycle, looking like a modern day Knight in shining armor on a steel horse. In his hands were the two double barreled shotguns.
"Keep your paws off her dog brain. Better yet" he aimed for another Double Impact, "Stay off my turf!".
He shot, but Chatsuramon had dodged out of the way.
"You little slagger! Now you're-".
The dog deva pounced Beelzemon, knocking him off of Behemoth and his footing. He was now at the mercy of the energy vampire dog. Renamon struggled to stand, but once she did, she used another diamond storm attack using all the power she could muster.
"Stay off him! Stay off me!" she exclaimed angrily.
The dog deva exploded and turned to data for her to absorb. Then the most incredible thing happened, she digivolved without her partner.
"Renamon digivolve to…Kyubimon!".
Like that, she changed into a beautiful, nine tailed fire fox. She was now a true wonder to behold.
"Beelzemon, can you stand?" she asked.
"I don't know. Chatsuramon took a lot out of me".
"Get on me, I'm taking you back to the castle".
Beelzemon struggled to his feet. He wound up falling over, but Kyubimon broke his fall.
"Easy now, I'm taking you back" Kyubimon started to walk back, Behemoth following behind her.
A/N: Yay, they made up! Next chapter: Renamon and Beelzemon take some real time out to get to know each other. Romance is officially in the air!
