Davis appeared in Willis bedroom after opening the digital gate, as he popped up from the computer he saw Willis and his partners Lopmon and Terriermon sitting on
the bed happily smiling at him. He tried to imitate their joy but failed miserably, what was supposed to be a big smile was just a half smile that indicated something
was wrong. Davis knew he had screwed up the moment Willis asked if something was wrong, he dreaded the moment when someone asked about Veemon, and then
it happened;
"Hey Davis, where is Veemon?" asked Terriermon
"Yeah we want to show him this new videogame Willis bought us" said Lopmon
"Davis, I know something is wrong, I can see it in you now tell us where is Veemon?" said Willis in a concerned tone.
Davis knew it was useless to hide the death of his partner; however he was still in doubt on whether to trust the American destined or not, he was friends with the
ones that had killed his partner and could easily turn on him. He decided to tell him and worry about the outcome later; after all he needed his help at the moment,
so honesty was a thing that was necessary. With a barely audible voice he said;
"H-He's dead"
"What?" asked Willis and his partners in disbelief
"HE'S DEAD!" Davis practically yelled at them "The rest of the team except for Ken and Cody turned on me and they killed him"
"Whahhh, Ho-w, I-I mean WHAT?" Willis was barely able to speak as his surprise got the best of him
"I think it's better if we eat while I talk, trust me all of you are going to need a pitcher of water and some aspirins for this one" said Davis as he left Willis room and
headed towards the kitchen.
The tension was present in the air as Davis began telling the story of what had happened earlier in the day, Willis, Lopmon and Terriermon were left speechless, the
destined of miracles could feel the need to cry but managed to hold back, after some time the story came to an end and Davis sat quietly eating a slice of pizza and
drinking his second glass of water while waiting for his friends to recover from the shock that the news had given them.
"Ok, so let me get this straight, Veemon is dead because the destined betrayed you, you left home after you were beaten by your father who's not really your father,
you were injured and lost a lot of blood, there is a high probability that you may be the destined of darkness, the sovereigns apparently staged an attack against you
and Veemon, and you swore to get revenge on those that hurt you."
"Yepp, look I know that it may sound crazy but it's the truth and the promise I made will be fulfilled" said Davis looking at Willis straight in the eye "Now all I need to
know is, will you help me or will you turn against me?"
After an eternity of silence, the American boy came up with an answer, Davis feared that the boy would decline or worse; turn against him like the others. Willis
sensing his distrust stood in front of him and said;
"I've thought about it and I'll help you, when Lopmon was lost to darkness and became infected with the Diaboromon virus you were the one that pull me thru saying
that I shouldn't give up. You saved my partner and although I cannot do the same for you I can still help you with what you need, and now tell me, what do you want
me to do?"
"Well" said Davis as he pulled some papers from his bag; "I need you to hack into this bank's database and find out what happened to the money my parents had
before they passed away"
"That is hard but I think I can do it, but may I ask why you need to know" said Willis
"My parents were both from very rich and powerful families, after they died the money was lost and I remember being told by the social worker that I was the heir of
that fortune, if I'm ever going to get revenge or basically survive until I'm older I need the money"
"So you're saying that you're rich"
"Well I don't know that is why I need your help"
Willis went to his room while Davis sat in the living room staring into space; he remained like that for a couple of hours until the door to Willis room opened revealing
a tired but disturbed looking young boy.
"Davis I have some bad news and some good news"
"Oh great, why is my life never easy?" Davis groaned complaining
"The good news is that indeed you are the heir to the family fortune, which is humongous if I might add and now for the bad news; you cannot access that money
until you are at least 16 years old and you need to have a guardian present at the time you sign the contract to have the fortune handed over to you"
"Ahhhh man, I knew it was too good to be true. Now what do I do?" Davis said trying to think of a solution
"Well I could lend you some money for now or you could stay here" said Willis offering Davis a look of sympathy
"I appreciate it Willis but as you know I have no documents, no family and no partner so it would be a pain for your family to support me, but I will accept your first
offer"
"If that's what you really want then I guess I have to accept, how much do you need?"
"Not much, just enough to leave the country"
Meanwhile
Odaiba, Japan: Kamiya Household
Kari tossed and turned around in her bed, hours had passed since she had lied down and it was impossible for her to drift into sleep, her mind kept replaying
Veemon's death, the kiss Davis had given her, his final goodbye and promise to get revenge. Gatomon was quietly cuddled next to her but even though she was
asleep Kari could see that she was having nightmares based on the frown on the digimon's face.
As the destined of light closed her eyes she heard a loud knock on her window, after opening her eyes she saw the broken glass and a small child dressed in a black
gown that covered the infants face, she was so shocked she couldn't scream or move, paralyzed by the fear she saw that the figure was slowly creeping close to her.
Gatomon had been awakened by the sound of the glass breaking and was now in front of Kari trying to protect her from the mysterious figure.
"Wh-who are you? Wh-a-at do you want?" muttered Kari
The figure tilted his head and with a sweet voice replied
"You hurt master and you killed his only friend, that makes me sad and I don't like being sad"
"Master? Killed his friend? Wait, you know Davis? Did he send you?" Gatomon asked fearing the response
The child did not pay attention to Gatomon and instead looked straight at Kari, both the destined and her digimon felt like the air was being sucked out of their
bodies, as they tried to breathe they heard the child speak once again;
"Master doesn't know I'm here and he doesn't know me, yet. Miss Yagami, tell your friends to be prepared because I will serve my master to the death and he will get
his revenge; I'll make sure of that. Oh and I almost forgot, here is something to remember me by. MIND ILLUSION!"
Colorado, USA
Davis received the money from Willis and decided to take a quick shower before leaving, the water felt like heaven as he was finally able to clean his wounds and
relax for a brief period of time. As he exited the bathroom, he walked over to Willis who was sitting in the kitchen and said;
"Willis thanks for everything, but I hope that you can keep this a secret, it would not be wise for the others to know where I'm at, and as for the money you lent me
I'll pay you back when I can"
"Don't worry Davis it's the least I can do and if you ever need something you know I'm here for you, now hurry up or you're going to miss your flight"
"Thank you Willis, I'll see you around" said Davis as he left the Pierce residence and took a cab to the airport
As he walked thru the doors of the Denver airport, his D-terminal started to beep. He ignored it thinking that it could be the digi-destined trying to contact him. Going
up the stairs quickly he didn't notice when he bumped into a small child dressed in all black.
"Oh, I'm sorry kid I didn't see you there"
"It's okay Davis, you don't have to apologize but you should learn to check your messages as soon as you get them, who knows? They may be important" answered
the child leaving Davis speechless
"How do you know my name and how do you know I received a message? Who are you?
"I'm no one and I'm everyone at the same time, I'm your regrets and your desires some may even go as far as calling me a partner" said the figure furtherly
confusing Davis; "Here, this belongs to you" said the child giving Davis a small necklace with a small pendant.
"Why are you giving this to me? You still haven't answered my questions" said Davis
"All will be revealed in time, now leave and read that message before you board the plane, I promise it will change your destiny"
"I don't know who you are but I think I can trust you, thanks for the advice and the necklace. Will I see you again?" said Davis as he ran to the ticket area
The child looked at Davis as he asked that question and slowly nodded as the boy faded away in the crowd of hurried travelers. The child silently spoke;
"You will, we will meet again real soon, sooner than you think. My master"
So Davis is gone, where is he going? And who is this child that has appeared? But most importantly; Why did the child call Davis master?
