Guilmon ran down the streets, shoving everything in his path out of the way. He looked frantically for any sign of his love. He searched until the sun set, never resting, never stopping. He stumbled into the downtown streets, looking in every possible nook and cranny.
"R-Renamon!" Guilmon shouted out, he looked up at the old buildings, looking for any sign of the yellow fox or the kidnapper. But he was greeted by the sinister sound of Cyberdramon's voice.
"Hello, friend." Cyberdramon called from the top of a building. Guilmon instantly recognized the voice and shot a glance up.
"What do YOU want?" Guilmon asked him, unaware of his sinister plan. Guilmon kept searching as he walked.
"Well, I couldn't help but notice you seem to be searching for something." Cyberdramon retorted, a fake tone of sincerity in his voice.
"Is that a problem?" Guilmon asked sarcastically, continuing his search.
"No problem." Cyberdramon laughed out. He jumped to the street and stood in front of the red dinosaur. "I take it you're searching for Renamon?" Guilmon perked his ears up and gave a wide eyed look at Cyberdramon.
"W-What do you know about her! Where is she!" Guilmon stepped forward, trying to control his anger. "What did you do to her!"
"Relax!" Cyberdramon laughed out. "Here, she's under a curse, and she's here, come and get her. That is, if you don't mind finding her in the state that she's in." Cyberdramon handed Guilmon a slip of paper.
"Wha-" Cyberdramon left before Guilmon could even finish a sentence. Guilmon clenched his fist in anger and looked at the slip of paper. 394 Clayton Road If you love her, you'll come for her.
"Shit! How could I have let him get away!" Guilmon shouted, he crumpled the paper and shoved it in his pocket angrily. 394 Clayton Road… I remember that being somewhere here down town… Guilmon then took off down the street, hoping to rescue his love.

Renamon sat in a supply closet, sad, scared, and alone. She hugged her knee's to her chest and hid her face behind her knees. W-what was that powder? She kept asking herself, her eyes and mouth occasionally giving off a ghastly blue haze. I-I feel…strange… She sighed and felt the tears well up in her eyes, is this the end, will she ever see her loving family again? She was scared, she cried softly into her knee's, trying to think of a way out. She tried to ignore her pain, physical and mental.
"Renamon, is the powder taking effect?" Ladydevimon called out from the other side of the door. She was standing guard, just in case Renamon regained her strength.
"D-Don't talk to me." Renamon stuttered out, wiping her tears away with her tattered shirt.
"I see the powder still has yet to take effect." She replied. Renamon's eyes lids became heavy, she tried to keep herself awake, from fear that she wouldn't wake up. She stood up and began to limp around the room, keeping her awake, waiting for any sign of hope. Renamon suddenly fell to her knee's and clutched her stomach, it felt like something was taking control of her body, she was frozen, a terrified expression on her face. Her eyes glowed a soft, ghastly cobalt and her mouth emitted the blue haze at a constant, steady pace. In a minute, she was unconscious.

Guilmon looked up at the crescent moon, casting it's reflected light over the city. He pulled the slip of paper out of his pocket and examined it one more time.
"394 Clayton Road… this is the place." Guilmon said to himself, he shoved the paper into his pocket and gazed at the warehouse, all the lights seemed to be on. He took a deep breath and marched towards the front double doors. He peered in through the glass window, the hallway was empty, nothing but a bench and potted plant being illuminated by the fluorescent lights. "Renamon… I'm coming." He opened the door silently and stepped inside, nothing but the buzz of the lighting sounded the room. He began to open doors and peek into hallways, for any sign of the yellow fox digimon. "Renamon?" "Renamon?" "Renamon?" He called out time and time again, but no answer; he must have been searching the first floor for at least 30 minutes.
"Guilmon?" A calm, collected feminine voice called out. Guilmon instantly recognized the voice as Renamon, he launched down the hall when he came across Renamon, standing in the middle of the hallway, her eyes closed and head facing down, wearing her tattered shirt and jeans.
"Renamon! Thank god you're ok! I was so worried!" Guilmon ran towards Renamon and help her close, crying into her shoulder. "Are you feeling ok? Was it Cyberdramon who hurt you?"
"Guilmon…" Renamon sighed out. She looked up and opened her eyes, her eyes emitting the ghastly blue haze. "I missed you." Renamon hoisted Guilmon in the air by his neck.
"R-Renamon w-what a-a-are you doing!" Guilmon choked out, holding Renamon's hand as she choked him in the air. "P-please stop! It's Me!"
"Sorry it had to come to this, love." Renamon said, her voice emotionless and hollow. She choke slammed Guilmon into a wall and slid him down to the ground.
"Gah! R-Rena…mon….!" Guilmon winced, tears streaming from his eyes. He was helpless; he couldn't do anything to fight back without hurting Renamon. He pried her paws away from his neck, being careful not to hurt her. He scrambled up and backed away, terrified of the sight before him. Renamon stood there, face blank and emotionless, her eyes and mouth radiating the ghastly cobalt colored haze, her close tattered and body cut and bruised.
"R-Renamon…w-what did they do to you…?" Guilmon cried out, he wiped his tears but was cut off when Renamon punched him in the gut, Guilmon recoiled and was slammed down by Renamon, who then grabbed him by the back of his shirt and through him back down the hall. Guilmon slammed and skid on the hard tile floor, wincing in pain, struggling to his knee's. Renamon shot up in the air and hugged her arms to her body.
"Daimon Storm." Renamon spread her arms and diamonds materialized in front of her, hovering, eager to pierce the flesh of the red dinosaur.
"R-Renamon! Stop! Please!" Guilmon pleaded helplessly, tears flowing from his golden eyes.
"Who Am I, Guilmon!" Renamon called out, the blue haze from her eyes and mouth intensifying as she spoke. She held back the diamond storm, she seemed to be fighting the urge to kill Guilmon, as if some inner battle was ignited deep inside her mind.
"R-Renamon… I don't understand the question… I-I don't understand..!" Guilmon raised his hand in effort to calm her.
"WHO AM I!" Renamon screamed at him. She couldn't hold back any longer, the daimons launched at the helpless Guilmon, whizzing through the air at super sonic speeds. The Daimons bounced off his scaly skin, but the blunt force caused him to wince in pain.
"R-Renamon!" Guilmon cried out. "PYRO SPHERE!" Guilmon launched a blazing ball of flame, scattering the diamond shards everywhere. The pyro sphere made its way to Renamon, striking her into her young chest. Renamon didn't show any emotion as she was struck, but rather fell to the ground, chest marked and burnt from the blast. "Renamon!" Guilmon shot up and kneeled by her side. Renamon looked up, her face radiating the hazy cobalt. She twisted up and kicked Guilmon across the face. Guilmon winced and was punched into the wall by Renamon.
"So, the powder hasn't completely taken effect yet?" Ladydevimon said from the end of the hall, her face just as emotionless as Renamon. "Soon she will be obedient and serve our master like I do."
"S-Shut up! Give Renamon back you Bully!" Guilmon yelped out, a child like tone in his voice. Ladydevimon showed no emotion, she stood there, watching the scene unfold.
"Who…am….I!" Renamon screamed before receding back to Ladydevimon.
"Ah, good, we're all here!" Cyberdramon laughed from the opposite end of the hall. "You must be wondering why Renamon is acting so…strangely." He walked towards Guilmon confidently, knowing he was helpless.
"What did you do to her…?" Guilmon cried out.
"I'm sure you remember a certain Digimon named Umbramon, correct?" Cyberdramon laughed to himself. Guilmon was silent. "Well, he supplied me with a powder that controls the mind and possesses the body for the casters own personal gain."
"If you lay a finger on Renamon I will kill you!" Guilmon shouted at him. Cyberdramon laughed and motioned for Renamon to come to him, she obediently came to his side. He grabbed her arm and pulled her roughly to him and gave her a long, passionate kiss. Guilmon was enfuriated, he lunged forward and threw a punch, but Cyberdramon threw Renamon to the side and deflected the punch.
"I don't think so." Cyberdramon said sternly, he punched Guilmon in the gut and kicked him into the wall. Guilmon collapsed to the ground, too weak to move. He cried silently, scared for Renamon, scared that he will never get her back. "Girls, would you mind showing Guilmon out of your humble aboad?"
"Of course, master." The girls replied, they picked up Guilmon by his arms and carried him off. Cyberdramon following close behind.
"Oh, and the reason I called you is because I wanted you to know that Renamon is… in good hands." Cyberdramon laughed to himself. "Throw him into the street somewhere, I don't give a damn where."
"Yes, master." They replied emotionlessly. Cyberdramon smiled and turned around, heading back into the offices. Guilmon felt his eyelids become heavy as he was dragged across the floor, soon he was unconscious.
