Altered Reverberations
Chapter 8 (The real one, I got my chapter mixed up last time)
Greek Digimon
Impmon sat down as Gatomon looked over him in a back room. Patamon, Terriermon, Takeru and Kari were all there as well, watching Gatomon heal Impmon.
"Man, I wish Jyou and Gomamon were here." Gatomon mumbled to herself. She sighed, and looked at the wound, she poked and prodded it. Impmon still had a ton of Zero's going through him, so he didn't feel much. "Hey Impmon... how are you not passed out?" Gatomon asked him.
Impmon lifted up his head to look at her, "Simple, I can turn Zero's into energy." he told her.
Gatomon was surprised, but she had heard of this trick before, she just thought it was reserved for the Royal Knights and maybe the twelve Olympians. She concentrated on him, and felt the energy flowing through him. She was surprised, but calmed herself. She pulled the energy and a series of one's and zero's from the rest of his body and started to repair the wounds.
She could feel the drain on her body as she wove the zero's and one's together, having to break some codes apart and rewrite them. Even destroying a few anomalies. She finished and fell on to her front paws exhausted.
Impmon got and turned to Terriermon, "So, you mind telling me where your tamer is?" he asked.
Terriermon looked at him, "Impmon, caring?" He mocked, "This is a surprise."
"Oh shut up." Impmon told him.
Terriermon grinned, "Momenti!" he said to his friend. Impmon glared. Terriermon turned to everybody in the group, "Actually, I came here hoping you humans could help me." He said.
Takeru raised his eyebrow, "You guys are talking about the missing tamers? The one's who are said to rival Tai and Matt?" he asked.
Terriermon laughed, "Rival? We'd kick your but." He told them, "But basically yeah."
"Why don't you tell us your story?" Kari asked.
Terriermon sighed, "Alright, it goes like this, I was captured by a Digimon named Ebemon. Along with me was Lopmon, Renamon, Guilmon and all of our tamers. Ebemon put some sort of virus in me soon after, so I don't know much about his intentions, just that he kept ranting about getting revenge on Izzy. I don't know what he's done to my tamer or anybody else for that matter, however."
"Exactly how did you escape this virus?" Patamon asked suspiciously.
"Simple... I just took a poop and it popped out." Terriermon grinned, as a pink sludge appeared in his hand. "Like this."
Impmon started laughing his head off, Gatomon rolled her eyes, but let out a few chuckles, Kari and Takeru grinned. Patamon grew angry at it however, "You're so immature." he shot at the dog rabbit.
"Momenti!" Terriermon told him. Patamon rolled his eyes.
Takeru sat down on the bed thinking, "Getting revenge on Izzy... and it's a mega level Ebemon... I think... it's gotta be." he said out loud.
"What is it?" Kari asked.
"Vademon." Takeru stated, "he must of somehow digi-volved... and with a mind like his, I don't want to know what's happening to the tamers."
"So we need to get there as quick as we can." Kari said in realization.
Takeru shook his head, "It's too risky... it'll mean one of us would have to stay while the other goes to deal with a Mega."
Impmon smiled, "That's no problem, I can deal with Ebemon." he said.
Takeru looked over at the rookie, "Even in his own house? I don't know." he spoke to him. "There is also the fact that it would leave this quadrant with just two defenders." he said.
Kari put a hand on his shoulder, it comforted him. "I'll go." she told him.
Patamon objected, "There's no way I'm letting Gatomon hang around those two hormonal freaks for that long. How do we know that they'll be able to protect her.!" he demanded.
"Patamon!" T.k said astounded, "You have to get this jealousy thing under control... By Baihumon's name." T.K turned to Kari, "I don't like it, and I know Tai while have my skin stripped from my body when he finds out, but I don't see anyway else."
Kari grinned, "I'll be fine, besides, not only do we have Gatomon, but we have a demon lord on our side." she told him.
T.K laughed, "That's one of the things that's worrying me the most." He told her.
They all laughed at Impmon's expense, who let loose a few chuckles as well. They headed outside and left. Beelzemon, Behemoth (his bike), Terriermon, Gatomon and Kari heading off one direction, Takeru and Patamon the other.

Crescemon walked through the gates of Server Olympus. She had her mind occupied with thoughts of Kitsune. Who was she? What was she? Where did she get that kind of power? Where had she seen her before? There was just too much to know.
Minervamon was on her way out when she noticed her sister, "Hey little sis, you alright?" she asked. Crescemon looked up disturbed from her thoughts.
"Oh, hey Minerva... I'm sorry, I've just been thinking about Kitsune." Crescemon told her.
Minervamon laughed, "Your a mess." She told her.
Crescemon sighed, "I guess so... there's just so much to do lately that it's been hard."
The Digimon Goddess of Wisdom sighed, then and idea came to her, "Hey, I'm off to search for those missing Tamers, we were just able to recover their profiles."
Crescemon was surprised, "I thought every last trace of those had been destroyed."
Minervamon smiled, "They were. But when your a Dark Master's twin brother, their's really not much that you miss." she told her.
Cresecemon grinned knowing exactly who she was talking about, "May I see the files." Minervamon handed her a pocket of data and Crescemon opened it. She went through the first four files just scanning over it. Nothing was there that would help them much, other then the Hazard signal, but they already knew that. However her eyes stopped as she rested on the pictures of Rika and Renamon.
"Curse the Sovereigns." Crescemon swore
"Diana?" Minervamon said in amazement and fear. If it made Diana swear, it must be important.
Crescemon looked up, "this girl... she's Kitsune... modified to be part digimon... but she's Kitsune."
Minervamon's eyes lit up, "Then... we have to find her before her captor does, she must have escaped."
Dianamon glanced over at her sister who hefted Olympia, a two handed great blade that her sister could wield with one. Dianamon's thoughts started to race, she knew how much power that girl Kitsune had. What would happen if they got beat? Her sister was so cocky though, since the founding of the Olympians, Minervamon was the only one to not get digitamasized. Diana had gone through the evolution series a dozen times by now.
"We need to let the others know, perhaps we can get word to the humans." Diana said.
Minervamon nodded, "I'll go tell Mercurimon, he's the only one here at the moment. He can get the word around while we go after Kitsune, you go get ready." she told her sister. Dianamon nodded and headed off, Minerva watched her go. One of her ponytails came up by her side, "Are you sssure thisss isss sssuch a good idea?" it hissed.
Minervamon looked at the snake on her shoulder, "Alright, what do you know this time." she demanded. Having Hies and Meen helped out a lot, they were able to notice things that she couldn't, they could watch her back, and they could tell when somebody was lying.
Hies looked around, "Diana is holding out on ussss. SSShe's twitching unconssssciousssly." he told her.
"Could it just be from the realization of Kitsune?" Minerva asked.
Meen shook her head, "No... the Moon Goddessss issss dissssturbed about ssssomething elsssse. Her twitch ssssubsssided a little when she realizzzed Kitsssune." her right snake said.
Hies came up with a thought, "Perhapsss there is more to the attack in which ssshe was sssaved by Kitsune then ssshe told usss."
"If were going after Kitsune, why would she hold information back from me?" Minerva questioned.
"More to the attack then ssshe tellsss usss?" Hies muttered. The two snakes fell back into there ponytail state as Minervamon approached Mercurimon.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Tai asked Jijimon one last time.
"I would just be a hassle." Jijimon told him, leaning on his crutch, "besides, I would enjoy seeing Babamon sometime again soon."
Tai chuckled a little bit, "Alright you old mon, take care, and thank you very much, these kids wouldn't have stood a chance without you."
"No Tai... thank you. If it weren't for you, these children wouldn't even have hope anymore. You have given them the best things a person or mon can give to another. Hope, a second chance, a hero... some of them even look up to you as there father." Jijimon told him, Tai leaned down and the two hugged each other.
"I'll see you later you old fart." Tai told him, a few tears streaming down.
Jijimon chuckled, "You too Gogglehead... you too."
Tai walked to the front of the line, and looked down the road. Here they were, finally having a chance to save these kids lives for good. They were making the trip to the West quadrant, where X digimon were not nearly as feared and hated. He looked back, behind him where all of the in-trainings, flanked by Ken and Michael with there respective partners, and Sora with Biyomon in the back. Jyou and Gomamon were going to hang way in the back and keep an eye out from there. Mimi and Palmon had gone ahead of them to scout out the way and to find places to stop at knight.
He felt kind of guilty about this. He knew he had to send one of the girls as the scouts, because they would attract the most attention and perhaps give a diversion for them. Under this circumstance, the obvious choice is Mimi, as well as the fact that she is well known and could probably get a lot o digimon to help them out. However, Sora would have been a better scout with the ability to fly.
He was feeling guilty because he didn't want Sora to get hurt, he couldn't stand that, so he kept her in a place that he could keep an eye on her.
All of the in-training turned to Jijimon, "By Jijimon!" they cried, and waved to him. Tai himself waved to Jijimon, then turned around and started to lead the group toward the west. If he was lucky, then this would be a smooth trip.
A nagging feeling told him otherwise.

They had been traveling an hour when Dorumon came up beside Ryudamon, "hey, are you alright?" he asked her.
"Why do you care?" Ryudamon bit at him.
Dorumon looked up at Agumon, "Don't hold it against them... if you do, you'll probably turn virus like." he told her.
"You're parents didn't just give you away like you were some piece of trash." She shot at him.
"Neither did yours Moron." Dorumon shot.
Ryudamon glared. Dorumon turned back to look at Agumon leading in the front. "At least you know your parents are alright..."
Ryudamon wasn't even phased by the comment. Dorumon turned to her, " Your parents are doing what they can now to make it up too you, don't turn it away."
"Why do you care." Ryudamon shot, "You've digitamasized."
Dorumon raised his eyebrows, "Hmm?" he asked. "Digitamasized?"
Ryudamon rolled her eyes, "you know, been turned back to an egg, forget your past life, parents become something that don't exist anymore because you've learned."
Dorumon looked at her strange, "I know my parents though." he told her.
Ryudamon shut up real quick. Dorumon looked back at Agumon, "When I was born, the sovereign Zhuqiaomon wanted to take me and raise me for himself. In order to prevent that, my parents gave me to Babamon and Jijimon, who took me up here. My parents come and see me every six months, but without anybody else knowing." he told her.
Ryudamon thought back, and did remember when Dorumon had been gone for an entire week and Jijimon hadn't cared much. At the time she had thought it was because of the loss of Babamon, but now she understood why.
"The six month mark was supposed to be a week ago..." Dorumon said, "and know with the rumor that there gone..."
"Rumor?" Ryudamon asked.
Dorumon nodded, "Yeah... my parents are the Tamed digimon of the south, Guilmon and Renamon..."
