A/N: There are a few terms I need to clarify and define. The first is the D.C.D. It stands for Data Collection Device. The other is H.E.A.D. Human Emotion Amplification Device. These are special machines used to do what their names say. The HEAD devices are reserved for military personnel only.

Chapter 2: Prison

"How did you finish Project DIGIVICE so quickly Datamon?" Lucemon asked. "You worked on it for two years and didn't make an iota of progress, but in the last month you went from nothing to a finished product."

"To be fair, it was mostly due to luck that I succeeded this time." Datamon replied as he beckoned the angelic ruler to follow. "If the Angel Corps. hadn't found that human a couple months ago, we might have run out of time."

"The human that you had thrown into a cell with the vicious thief?" Lucemon clarified.

"The same." Datamon replied as he turned to open the door to his lab. "After I locked them in my high security cell, I decided to observe the two and record what made their relationship work."

"Doc, we're hungry." A black reptile with emerald eyes yelled as soon as the door opened. "And I think Artur's sick."

"Ugh..." A pale boy moaned from inside the cell in the lab.

"Oh, for Yggdrasil's... stop the act, I'm not letting you out yet." Datamon snapped. "Now, the members of the Angel Corps. that captured you said you wanted to meet our leader, and that's why you came here; correct?"

"Yeah." The pale boy said as he sat up in the cell. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Your request has been granted in light of the research you helped me with." Datamon told him as he beckoned for Lucemon to join him in the lab.

"Hello... Arthur, was it?" Lucemon said as he stepped in.

"Artur, no h." Artur replied. "Also, hello." He turned to Datamon. "Why do I have the feeling you're planning something."

"Artur, as you know, my name is Lucemon," The prince bowed, regaining Artur's attention, "And I have a proposition for you."

"Hey kid." I stopped and turned to face the man that spoke. "You should give me one of them there Digi-eggs."

I had gotten lucky today. Not only did I find two Digi-Eggs, but I'd also found a wounded Rookie, using my DCD to collect it's data.

"At least, you should if you know what's good for ya."The man finished as three other large men appeared from behind some trees.

"I'd suggest you leave here before I get violent." I told the man. Very few humans could do what I could. I guess it came with the territory of living in the digital world for nearly a decade.

"Oho-ho! The kid thinks he's all that!" Another man said.

"You know kid, that seemed like a threat, and I don't like threats." The first man said, "Lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today. Leave us both digi-eggs, and we'll let you go free."

I sighed, I really hated ending lives, but these idiots didn't listen to my warning. "You must be new in this world." I said, giving them one last chance. "If you weren't, you'd know not everything is as it seems here."

"Kid, I'm getting impatient, so you just-" The man began, but my patience had run out.

"Manifest." I said slowly.

"What was that kid?" The man said before he saw me shoot a blade of white energy through one of his men.

Blood exploded from the man's severed neck before he fell to the ground dead.

"What the hell are you?!" The first man yelled. "Kill that freak!" He ordered his remaining men.

I sighed as I dispatched the other two men, before facing their boss. "You know, I gave you plenty of chances to leave."

"D-digimon?" The man asked, cowering in fear.

"Nope. I'm human, through and through." Those were the last words the man heard before I granted him a swift demise. "Although, that doesn't make me proud of it."

"So let me get this straight: You want me to betray my race and team up with BlackAgumon to help you win this war."

"Yes," Lucemon confirmed, "That's basically what I just said."

"On one condition." Artur said.

"If I can fulfill it."

"Don't eradicate humanity, lots of humans are mostly just scared and don't know the truth."

"Alright." Lucemon said. "Datamon, unlock the cell and give Artur his D-Vice."

"Alright." Datamon complied and fitted what looked like a silver bracelet with a black stone set into it onto Artur's wrist. "This is your D-Vice, it will create a protective emotion field for your partner, letting him fight without enemy humans' emotions affecting him." Datamon explained. "It will also allow you to access your soul abilities easier and to share energy with your partner, allowing him to evolve."

"Then I'm the test case." Artur stated, examining the bracelet. "Hack." Lines covered the bracelet as it morphed into a pair of goggles, which Artur put around his neck. "You wouldn't happen to have any extra clothes lying around in my size, would you?" Artur asked, "Wearing rags isn't the most fun thing in the world."

"We're having a tailor make custom armor for you." Lucemon reassured Artur, then turned to ask Datamon a question. "How will you find the humans and digimon partners for the remaining 5 D-Vices?"

"I think we're going to need to solve that problem later," Tactimon rushed through the door. "The humans have sent a large invasion force on the east shore of the island"

"Well then, let me and BlackAgumon go." Artur said as he walked through the door. "Let's take this D-Vice for a test drive."

A/N: That's chapter 2. Thanks to Best OC Maker for his OC, and I forgot to tell everyone that their characters have special abilities in this fic. I hope you're okay with the power I picked for Artur, and to the others that have an OC, tell me what kind of power they have. Oh, and the characters can surpass that limit I put for humans because digisoul. That limit was for the soldiers and normal people that haven't trained or had to live in the digital world. Please review with your opinions!
