Disclaimer: Once again I don't own Digimon

I slowly came to and realized something; I was in the wrong place…definitely the wrong place. Then I felt soft fur on the back of my neck. Where ever we were Kudamon and I had separate bodies again, but I could still feel his strength. It seemed more like having two bodies and one mind rather than truly being two separate people. I stood up much to the surprise of Kudamon and took in my surroundings. We were in some sort of home but everything, even us, had a dull grey shade to it and a light fog seemed to permeate everything. I heard the door open and wiped around to see someone standing there. I recognized her from the sequel series, it was Hikari Yagami. Her bust and butt had filled out into a proper figure now and she was probably about 16, yet she still wore the same clothes right down to the colors.

"Thank God you're awake," she said in a relieved voice "Gatomon and I were starting to worry about you. Um… When did that Digimon get here?" she asked pointing at Kudamon

"I've been here the whole time" he said in voice that was a cross of both of ours "I just didn't have a body till a few minutes ago."

"Hey don't go scaring her by saying crap like that." After I said it I quickly clutched my throat, my voice, my voice was the same as Kudamon's

No matter how true it is don't say stuff like that.

"Okay fine I won't say stuff like that." Kudamon said and thought to me at the same time

"Y-y-your voices" Kari said with a fearful expression on her face "wh-why do you have the same voice?"

"Because we used to share a body." Kudamon said as I pulled out my wallet.

"To make a long story very short I was merged with him to save his life."

I breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that all ten of my cards were still there. I put my wallet in one pocket and my cards in the other. I pulled out my D-power and gave it a quick once over before I noticed Hikari staring at it intently. I knew I would have to talk to her about it eventually but for now I just clipped it onto my belt. She opened her mouth to speak but I abruptly cut her off.

"We've answered two of your questions now it's time you do the same for us; who are you and where are we?"

-But we already know who she is.

If we called her by name without her telling us what it is she'd freak.

Kudamon sighed –Humans

"And just what is that supposed to mean huh? Technically you and I are neither human nor Digimon." I flicked his nose and yelled in surprise as I felt it on my nose to. This along with my outburst earned me a confused look from Hikari.

"I'm Hikari Yagami, and this" she said as Gatomon entered the room "is my partner Gatomon. As to where we are well…we're in the Dark World home of the Dark Ocean. I don't know how you or I got here but we need to find a way to get out and quickly."

"Since Hikari has introduced us why, don't the two of you introduce yourselves?" Gatomon said

"I'm Alex." Kudamon said tapping a paw against my shoulder "And I'm Kudamon." I said indicting him "Wait maybe it's the other way around..." We both said

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"Never better, so you said this is the Dark World right?" Hikari nodded "Well then the best way to get out is to go up."

"How? I don't have my D-Terminal and my D-3 is still in my bag back in the real world."

"Let's go outside and I'll show you how we're getting out of here."

The four of us went outside and I looked around. No wonder I was called the Dark World. Everything was so bleak and hopeless looking. I pulled my D-Power off my belt and gripped it tightly. No matter how bad it looked here I had my cards, cards given to me by close friends. And I had Kudamon, my best friend, my partner, and a part of me.

"What is that?"

"This is my D-power, its sorta like your Digivice except it has a few special features." I pulled out my Digivolution card "Like this for example."

"Digimodify!...Digivolution Activate!"

"Kudamon digivolve TO…"

I could feel the energy surging through Kudamon as he was enveloped in the cocoon of data. I felt my hands tingling and looked down to see them changing. They stayed the same size but took on a brown tint and became paw like. I could feel my feet changing as well. Then I felt a weight upon my shoulders and say the rope around my neck. To me this was extremely cool I never would have thought that something like this would happen if I used any cards and Kudamon and somehow became separate again, but for poor Kari it must have been terrifying.

" Reppamon!"

"Is it just me or do you look…bigger than when we were combined?"

"Don't know, don't care, you said the fastest way out of here is up right? So does this mean we're gonna try out Takato's Hyper Wing card?" I nodded my head in response

"I don't think you'll have time to slash another card." Hikari said in a trembling voice

"Why not?"

She pointed and I saw a bunch of shadowy creatures approaching from the beach. They looked sort of like Digimon. I pointed my D-Power at them but no data came up. I cursed in English under my breath. That caught every ones' attention including my own; I had completely forgotten that I had been speaking Japanese up until now. Hyper wing would have to wait I swapped it out for Speed card Rika had given me.

"Digimodify!...Speed Activate!" I could feel a rush of energy flooding me

"Reppamon go get 'em!"

He charged forward and was in their midst before they realized what was going on. He lashed out with his tail deleting a few right of the bat. Hikari made to protest but just shook my head. As much she didn't want to admit it the only way we would get out of here was if we destroyed our enemies and we both knew that. One of the creatures had broken off from the group and was heading straight for Hikari but I cut it off.

"Move aside human we have no business with you. We only desire the Child of Light." It said to me

"Not a chance creep!"

"Alex don't!" Hikari yelled

I didn't even have to try to reach the power of Niflheim. It just came straight to me but this time it didn't coat my arm with ice. I could tell, no, I could feel that I was becoming able to control this power properly. The creature brought its hand up to slash at me. With my Speed card still active it had no chance I brought back my fist back like I did with SkullMeramon.

"Imperial Glacier!"

My fist collided with the creature freezing it solid and shattering it in an instant. The other creatures instantly backed off and began retreating towards the ocean. I knew better than to follow, they would have the advantage on the beach where their numbers could quickly be replenished. Reppamon fell back to where we were standing, he and I could both sense it something was coming…something big. A large monster emerged from the water nothing more than a silhouette but I knew what it was. I couldn't believe I didn't remember earlier, this place was in one of the episodes which made that massive creature.

"Dagomon."

"So, the young Gatekeeper knows of me."

"What's a Gatekeeper?"

"One who acts as a bridge and guard to a supernatural world. Now move aside young Gatekeeper, the Child of Light will be my bride. With her help a more powerful generation will arise from my Dark Ocean." "No."

He swung one of his arms and sent Reppamon and I flying across the ground. Hikari ran to my side desperately trying to stay away from the monstrous Dagomon. She helped knelt over me while Gatomon somehow managed to help Reppamon to his feet. This bastard was strong so I would just have to play it smart and hope we could get away. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the first card I touched, Onee-chan's card, Agumon's Frozen Wind.

"Alex you don't have to do this." Hikari said "I'll…I'll give myself up to him." She turned to face Dagomon "I will go with you if you leave the others alone!" she said defiantly

"Hmm an interesting proposal, but meaningless I will kill them and you will be mine regardless!"

He reached forward to grab her and I instinctively slammed my left fist on the ground out of frustration. A pillar of magma shot up between the two of them. I looked at my left arm and notice the constant steam rising off of it. Somehow, I was channel the power of Muspellheim and Niflheim at the same time. I still held my D-Power in my left hand and it was completely undamaged.

"Drop dead." I shakily stood up "You're not touching her and I'm gonna make sure of that!" I looked at my card again it had become a Blue card "Thank you Onee-chan." I said quietly

"Digimodify!…Matrix Digivolution Activate!"

"Reppamon Matrix Digivolve TO!"

I felt an enormous surge of power as before my eyes both Reppamon and I changed. My right arm became covered in a brassard as my shirt turned to fur. I felt the rope around my neck spin and slide onto my back where it became four dragonfly like wings. My left arm stopped steaming and my hand turned red and took on the appearance of glowing volcanic rock. I felt a mask form that was resting just above my face and I knew it would mirror the one worn by.

"Chirinmon!"

"You made one fatal flaw you squid headed son of a bitch! I never give up! I'm too stupid to and it's way too much fun pissing off bastards like you!" I said emphasizing the last three words

I didn't even have to swipe a Speed card to move at blinding speeds. Dagomon swiped at me, I brought up my right arm to block and saw it had been covered with a blade of ice which sliced through Dagomon's arm with easy. Chirinmon put Hikari and Gatomon on his back and took off, flying straight up into the air. Dagomon reached up with its good hand to try and grab them out of the air but I took flight and passed by his arm before it was even fully extended. I flew back past it at an equally blinding speed slashing it apart in several places before pushing off the ground and quickly catching back up with Chirinmon, Hikari, and Gatomon as we climbed above the clouds. Dagomon was persistent though and reached up to try and grab us.

"I said! Hands OFF! Magma Pillar!"

I made a quick jab with my left arm launching a massive column of fire and magma straight into Dagomon's rising face. He went downtime this and didn't try to get back up. I settled into a slower flight speed alongside the others, Hikari looked relieved to be above the clouds and heading towards the light above us. I watched her look from me to Chirinmon and back several times while I practiced forming and dissipating the ice sword. I pulled down my mask just to try it and almost immediately put it back up. What I had seen was…well what Chirinmon had seen. I looked at my right hand and saw that the card had become normal again so I slipped it into my pocket before examining my D-Power. Even after being at the ignition point of a massive pillar of fire and magma the thing was still undamaged. I slipped it back into my pocket and landed on Chirinmon's back facing Hikari and Gatomon.

"What just happened?" Hikari asked

"It seems that even with separate bodies I still get stronger if he digivolves. As for the fire and ice, well know we know I'm a Gatekeeper and I guess one of the perks of that is being able to access the power of whatever supernatural world you're guarding."

"Why don't we tell you our whole story it'll take awhile before get into the area that'll start sending us back to our worlds." "What do you mean worlds?"

"You and I are from different version of earth, in your version you exist and in my version I exist that's about all I know of it. So do you want me to answer your questions about me or not?"

Chirinmon and I spent the next twenty minutes telling Kari and Gatomon everything that had happened to us. This included everything from my death and revival. We told them about the circumstances of our arrival in Shinjuku. This included everything we knew about The Guardians. When we mentioned Omnimon she frowned.

"That's odd, we've been spending time near a gate in our Digital World and on the occasions I was there when Omnimon went through I saw a large Digimon on the other side. I guess that was you right?"

"Makes sense since I was seeing ya'll through my side. I can't believe I never thought of that before."

We continued talking and finished with what was going on right before we woke up with them in the Dark World. Not a moment too soon. Right after I told her I woke up here our bodies began to become staticy.

"Remember don't tell anyone about me. I know you don't like lying but it's for the best they don't know. Neither you nor I know who we can trust among the human's in your world."

"All right, it'll be difficult but, I know I can do it." she said with an enthusiastic smile "And Alex?"

"Hmm?" she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek "Thank you for not giving up on me." She said as she phased back into her world. I grinned happily. I knew that we wouldn't be going back into our world through an established gate. No we would be bioemerging. It would be a great time to have some fun. That was something to look forward to at least.

"Hey if I ever come back here let's promise ourself something." "What?"

"That I'll take a page from The Covenant's book and burn this place till its glass." I said seriously "Promise?"

"Promise."

We'll see more of other people later, hope ya'll like what's happening. If not then I hope you keep reading anyway cause I don't write to an audience, just for fun.
Next chapter starts in 3rd person with someone else.

Later ^^;
