A/N: I know, I said I would introduce Remi in chapter 8, But Daysbygrace reviewed a lot, and honestly this chapter could happen anywhere between chapters 6-8, so I thought I'd get her out here for you wonderful people to see. Plus they were reviewer number 25, so yeah.

Chapter 7: Reality

A white haired satyr watched a blonde haired girl pace in frustration, "If you don't tell me what's wrong, I can't help." He told her. "I'm your friend Remi, just tell me what's bothering you." He was sitting in a wooden chair, and if you ignored the strange tattoos, goat legs, and three horns on his head, he looked like a teenage boy.

"Ugh, I just can't do this Aegiomon!" Remi all but screamed, "We've been living here happily for three years now, and suddenly everything goes to shit!" The normally calm, kind girl said. "And soon… soon we won't have anywhere to go…" She stopped pacing and softly muttered.

Aegiomon sighed, he knew that he couldn't do anything to stop what was going to happen, no matter how badly he wanted to, but he did have a way that might be able to help Remi. "I can open a gate."

Silence, then, "You didn't though…" the scared and curious reply came out as a squeak. "If you could do that all this time, why didn't you leave me?"

Aegiomon got up and moved in front of the girl, giving her his goofiest smile, "Why would you think I'd ever leave you?" He quickly spotted the scared look on the girl's face and his expression quickly shifted from playful to concerned. "You… you didn't actually think I'd leave you alone here… right?"

Remi shifted her eyes away, "I, I jus-" She was silenced by a thump on the door to their cabin.

"Rem, if we're doing this, we need to do it now." Aegiomon told the girl quietly.

"Come out of there you brats!" A man's voice yelled through the door. "This is officially my property, and I don't want to see you anywhere near here again!"

Remi scowled at the voice. It was HIS fault. HE was the reason their idyllic life had been shattered, and he had the gall to come back and stomp on those pieces. If one looked carefully, they would notice a faint white glow emanating from the teenage girl. Aegiomon knew that her digisoul ability was powerful, but for it to manifest outside of the digital world… it meant monstrous power.

The ability had awoken three days ago when the duo had returned from the nearest town after shopping for some food. Aegiomon used his powers to disguise himself as a regular human boy, and to add small amounts of bits to the account the two of them used to buy things. Remi was telling Aegiomon about a news report she had seen about a kid named Kendrick Foster that killed people to save a Lopmon, the report had her excited because one of the 'victims,' a little girl named Suzanne said that she thought maybe the boy was a superhero because he answered her call of help to save her Lopmon, when they saw a sharply dressed man and a woman wearing far too much make-up trying to enter their home. Needless to say, the man and woman were failing.

"Get away from our house!" The teenage girl yelled at the adults, immediately alerting them to the presence of the two 'teenagers' behind them.

The man sneered, "What do a couple of snot nosed brats mean their house, when this is my property!?"

The woman looked and her face softened at the state of dress the children wore. "Dear, they must be orphans."

"I don't care what they are, but they have two minutes to get out of my sight!" The man replied.

"This can't be your property, old man Samuel owns the deed to the land here!" Remi told him angrily. She pulled out a phone that the old man had given her in case robbers tried to take their stuff and dialed his number, moments later the sound of ringing could be heard from the snobbish man's pocket. "Wha- but, that's his phone..." The girl stared in disbelief at the source of the ringing, it was the same model of phone the old man had, complete with the case she and Aegiomon had made for it.

"Correction, it was his. Now it, and this property, are mine. Samuel died three days ago, and his will declared his property mine." The man spat.

"Could you give us a few days to say goodbye to the place, pack our things up and leave?" Aegiomon asked the man, sounding defeated.

"At least allow them that much honey..." The woman begged the man.

"Fine, I will return in three days, and if you have not vacated my property by then, I will call the police to arrest you." The man said, walking past the teen and disguised digimon. "Good day."

Aegiomon clenched his fist as he remembered the events of that day. The loss of old man Samuel would weigh heavy on his heart for a long time. He then thought of a good idea to calm down his human friend. "Rem, let's unlock the door and reveal I'm a digimon, then we'll go to the digital world and leave this guy shitting himself." He whispered to Remi.

The aura around the girl immediately calmed down as she agreed. "Let's." She then went to the door and unlocked it, pulling it open and causing the snobby man to fall to the floor.

The first thing the man noticed when he looked up was goat legs, and as his eyes continued upwards, he took in the vision of the teenage boy from three days before, with horns and tribal paint. "D-d-d-digi..." The man fainted before he could utter the word describing the species humanity saw as scum.

"Oh god, he actually shit himself." Remi remarked as she wrinkled her nose at the smell coming from the man.

"All the more reason to leave before he wakes up." Aegiomon agreed as he grabbed his radio. Remi grabbed a small backpack containing food, water, and clothes, then hurried to the white haired satyr's side. Aegiomon glowed golden as he shouted, "Gate Open!" The floor beneath the two opened and they fell into the void.

"I found it!" Blackguilmon proclaimed as he held a sheathed blade in his maw.

"Good job buddy!" Tony congratulated the virus digimon. "Although I wonder how it got so far away from the base we destroyed..."

"I, uh... may have exploded a bunch of stuff..." Blackguilmon rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"Well, the sword's in one piece, so all's well that ends well." Tony shrugged and grinned.

Blackguilmon grinned back before his personality changed in less than a second. "I smell a human, it's coming from... above?"

The duo looked up and saw a girl and a white haired goat man falling, the goat man landed on Blackguilmon while Tony dove to catch the girl. "Construct!" The tattoo on the renegade marine's arm burst to life as a clawed arm made of darkness extended from his arm, catching the girl safely. Tony sighed when he saw the girl was safe. "Release." Tony winced as he felt the Digital Hazard symbol on his arm destroy the shadow arm. "Well, let's set up camp until these two wake up." Tony told his companion, regretting the use of his 'ability' already. "Let's get some wood for a fire, hopefully they'll wake up by tomorrow."

A/N: Hey everybody! I hope you enjoyed today's short chapter. I'm going to put a list of the OC's, their partners, and their abilities up on my profile, along with a description of what the abilities do. I'm NOT planning on continuing DPL right now, and it's virtually cancelled, the only thing I could do would be to post a chapter with how I wanted it to go and some scenes from the finale. The same goes for almost all my other OC stories, but this one is going to stay strong. I know today's chapter was a bit shorter than the chapters I've been posting recently, but that's mostly because of time constraints, I want to post at least one chapter a week, so I finished this in a short amount of time. I didn't do it earlier this week because it was the last week of the quarter, but on the bright side, next week is spring break, so I'm going to post both another chapter of this, and a chapter of KaAC this next week. So look forward to that and see ya later!
