I own nothing except the stuff I made up

010: Falling out

Shoutmon: Yoshi and his brother were trying to fight off a Shellmon but thanks to Horrormon he ended up getting his leg broken it took him a while to figure out that it was his fault when he did he felt so bad he tried to apologize but Ryuto was so furious he shouted him out of the room making things bad with Yoshi he then made things bad with Armadillomon by pushing him way to hard against a hot head named Blaze Gaogamon fortunately Horrormon came back and not only saved Yoshi but Digivolved to Chupramon and cooled him off now Ryuto's the one in hot water!

Ryuto came home that night gratefull to escape the rain. But he noticed something strange, he looked around back and forth in the hall then back traced his steps all the way to the hospital in a rain coat. That's when he saw it. Armadillomon's foot prints going in the opposite Direction. "Hmm I'm not surprised…" Ryuto muttered finally taking a moment to reflect on how he had treated Armadillomon.

He remembered being hostile to both Digimon not liking the fact that he and his brother were stuck with it. He was now remembering the older kids being sympathetic about his situation. Takato had tried to assure him they'd be safer learning how to fight; Because what if they ended up like he and his friends had several times being attacked by Digimon. He even learnt that Rika had been kidnapped by one once.

But he had been blowing them off despite their attempts to make this as better as possible. And Armadillomon had he even once thanked him for helping him with Greymon or even trying to stand up to BlazeGaogamon. No. Unfortunately as he laid; in bed he thought back to a time in his life he hated.

A Younger Yoshi was playing with a small Bokumon plush as the younger Ryuto came over and snatched it out of his hand pushing him down at the same time. "Ouch!" Yoshi whimpered. He looked up to see Ryuto walking off with his toy. "Ryuto wait that's mine!" he said rushing after it.

"Back off shrimp," Ryuto snapped roughly pushing him down leaving Yoshi to cry.

"Ryuto!" shouted, an angry voice making him cry.

"Don't you dare lie I saw that!" His mother growled storming over Ryuto merely stared at the toy and started to rip it up.

"NOOOOO!" Yoshi cried.

Ryuto sighed and stared at what was left of it Yoshi's Grandmother had given it to them for Christmas. He kept it all this time after that his mother yelled at him and sent him to his room. He had later heard a conversation about how to deal with him and he decided if they didn't want to they would leave.

"Wow, I'm even more of a scum bag than I was back then…" he muttered rolling over.

DT DT DT

Armadillomon found a large tunnel to camp out in, he decided tomorrow he'd move in with Greymon to await the day that Hypnos could find a way to send them back to the Digital world. "Ryuto hates me and all Digimon I know it, so why is he a Tamer? Why was I partnered with him…is there a purpose to all this?" he asked himself as he curled up. However as he started to drift off he heard blasting and a few yelps.

"What was that?" he asked jumping up and running to the end of the tunnel feeling much better than he did when he fought BlazeGaogamon. When he got outside he could see Beelzemon battling what looked like a Myotismon.

"Crimson Lightning!" Myotismon shouted throwing a red light from a small handle however Beelzemon caught it and pulled it towards him allowing the Digimon to get impaled on his claws killing him instantly. He let the data fly off into the distance. He could see it being absorbed by Hypnos Tower to be sent back to the Digital World. That they knew how to send back but he doubt Greymon would enjoy doing that.

"Beelzemon!" shouted Armadillomon who had walked outside once Myotismon was gone. The Demon lord looked down he had definitely heard someone call his name he looked down.

"Armadillomon?" he asked landing and turning back into Impmon.

"You're one of the new kids Digimon right?" he asked.

"I was…." Armadillomon sighed.

"What happened?" Impmon asked confused by the response.

Armadillomon explained everything about what happened with Ryuto and how during the battle with BlazeGaogamon . "I get it…and I had been hearing he's been pretty hostile to the Digimon."

"I wish I knew why, maybe I could help fix it." Armadillomon replied.

"I don't know about that but I do know how you feel…" Impmon replied. "Back when I first came to the Digitial world. I lived with my Tamers Aie amd Mako they used to fight all the time and drag me into it." he replied thinking back to a particularly painful moment when they were pulling him apart over and over and he could feel his arms coming out of their sockets.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" he screamed.

"After that I ran away and I started to resent humans all of em." He replied crossing his arms and thinking back. "A while later Guilmon, Renamon and Terriermon showed up. And found their partners."

"Takato, Henry and Rika right?" Armadillomon asked.

"Yup you catch on fast. During that time I started messing with Humans trying to get their Digimon to leave. One time I was scaring couples in the park it was easy to get Pineapple head to join in."

"Pineapple head?" Armadillomon asked.

"Sorry Guilmon." Impmon quickly answered.

Armadillomon nodded in understanding letting out a small grunt to indicate he heard as Impmon continued.

"Truth is I was jealous of them." Impmon sighed.

"What for?" Armadillomon asked.

"They could Digivolve and got stronger and stronger through their bonds with their Tamers. And I was the one who kept saying that you didn't need them to Digivolve. Heck I even told Renamon that the power was inside of you…but I'm wondering if I was half right. That you need friends to bring it out." Impmon replied.

"friends are nice…." Armadillomon replied a little dreamily.

Impmon turned back and smiled. "It got to the point where I completely flipped out and started tormenting everyone in the city until Renamon literally dragged me off the street and I let it slip I used to have a partner…well partners."

"A Partner?" Renamon asked. Impmon's mouth dropped open in horror he hadn't been aware of what he was saying out of anger he slugged Renamon making her let go she didn't move but she did watch as Impmon started to break down into tears; Holding her bruised cheek.

"WHY CAN'T I DIGIVOLVE!? I'M THE STRONGEST I DESERVE IT!" he screamed pounding the roof of the building they were hiding out in. "I don't need a partner…."

"That's when things started to drop….I got this stupid idea into my head to prove myself by fighting a Deva named Indramon." Impmon replied.

"A…A Deva but they're or at least they were some of the strongest Digimon despite being at the Ultimate level! To fight one of them as a Rookie is a death sentence!" Armadillomon blurted.

Impmon stared with a blank stare into the distance but the tone of his voice gave away his annoyance. "Yeah quite aware of that now." He replied simply.

"Ooops, sorry!" Armadillomon chuckled sweatdropping.

"After Renamon saved me I slinked off and thought the worst about them and got pulled in the Digital world by another Deva named Catsuramon who made me make a terrible deal with the Soverign make me Digivolve and I'd do whatever he wants and….anyway…." Impmon said trailing off.

"Impmon?" Armadillomon asked.

"Anyway somethings happened." Impmon started again. "And despite something I horrible I did Rika and Renamon came back and brought me home and I certainly didn't deserve that. When we finally came back and snuck off. I couldn't think of anything else to do but go back home. To my surprise Aie and Mako had changed. They realized what drove me away was their constant fighting and they wanted to be nicer to each other to get me to come back home." He chuckled rubbing his nose. "Humans are interesting."

"I wonder if something like that happened to make Ryuto not like Digimon." Armadillomon replied.

"Maybe…" Impmon muttered.

"Did anything happen he could connect back to Digimon?" Armadillomon.

"That's a better question for him." Impmon replied. "But whether or not you go back right now or at all it's up to you."

Armadillomon nodded Impmon sympathized with him and it made him feel better but he wondered if he and Ryuto would come to a similar resolve. But why was he here.

"Listen it's gonna rain tonight some more why don't you say with me and my Tamers?" Impmon offered.

Armadillomon tilted his head but nodded.

Ryuto was staring into the ceiling trying to think about what to do until he heard a knock. "Ryuto?" asked his father.

"What is it?" he asked.

"There's someone here to see you, apparently Yoshi asked them to talk to you." said his father.

"Send them in, I guess." Ryuto replied a little confused.

"Hey…" Rika said coming in.

"Rika what are you doing here?" Ryuto asked.

"Yoshi was worried about you, apparently you didn't go to school today either." Rika said simply.

"His Homework!" Ryuto gasped.

"It's fine Miyuki and Nick dropped it off." Rika replied. Ryuto sighed in relief. "Where's Armadillomon?" Rika asked.

"I chased him off like the scum that I am." Ryuto replied bluntly.

"Harsh…." Rika replied. There was an awkward silence, "You're not the only one to have a falling out with their Digimon. Or hurt them either…" she added glancing at Renamon who was watching outside.

"I don't need you…I don't need anybody…."

"I've been hurting a bunch of people all over." Ryuto sighed. "And to be quite frank I used to be quite the brat when I was younger."

"Well I don't know how well I can gauge and I'm not in your head. But honestly when I was younger and just starting out with Renamon, I was a total Ice Queen." Rika replied.

"What do you mean?" Ryuto asked.

"I used to see Digimon as nothing more than Data, and I desperately wanted Renamon to Digivolve." Rika replied. "And it got to the point where I pushed her too hard a couple times."

"Hmmm," Ryuto sighed just humming to show was paying attention. "Even so, I was a brat when I was little, I you don't know anything about me."

"Even if I don't know anything about you, I've made similar mistakes." Rika replied. "And I didn't feel better till I stopped being stubborn and actually worked things out with her. I'm not going to say go do this but I just thought I'd give my two cents." Rika replied as she got up and headed to the door. "By the way Yoshi's leg it's only a Fracture he'll be walking again in three weeks." She replied turning back to him with a smile.

Ryuto smiled at this but frowned remembering how angry Yoshi was with him for screaming at Horrormon. "Does he still hate me?"

"I don't think so, he wouldn't have asked me to come talk to you if he did. Horrormon saw Armadillomon running away from you and relayed the message to Yoshi." Rika replied as she left.

Ryuto sighed and stared up at the ceiling he couldn't do anything right now. But he decided tomorrow, he'd at least start with Yoshi and Horrormon. Then he'd find Armadillomon.

"Okay it's my turn!" shouted Mako he much like his sister had light reddish brown hair and brown eyes. Mako was in a pair of tan jeans with a green T-shirt. Ayi was in a purple skirt with pigtails and a pink and white shirt. Impmon and Armadillomon watched them play a board game nicely the Dog next to them yawned uninterested by the events going on. "I haven't seen you or your Tamers battle anyone yet." Armadillomon pointed out.

"I'm kind of on my own most of the time, they're not old enough to be out at night and the Digimon I fight are Megas." Impmon replied.

"All by yourself?!" Armadillomon asked in shock.

"I can handle it." Impmon replied. He thought back to when he was power hungry, hunting Digimon slaughtering them just to absorb their data. It had the benefit of making him stronger along with having Digivolve into one of the Seven Demon lords which allowed him to kick all kinds of tail. But that didn't absolve him of his sins.

"I win!" Mako cheered.

"Awwww!" Ayi groaned.

The two started to fight making Impmon jump up and try to calm them. It hit Armadillomon He much like Impmon had a Tamer with a Sibiling and it was true for Horrormon. "What could that mean though. Maybe we'll have to work together to sort things out between them. Or Get stronger."

"Come on you guys gotta get along. It's just a game." Impmon said once they had calmed down.

The two looked at each other and nodded. "Sorry Ayi/Mako." Impmon smiled as did Armadillomon.

"Kids it time for dinner!" called a voice.

"Yay!" the two shouted rushing towards the table.

DT DT DT

After Dinner it had gotten late Armadillomon woke up in the night to find himself blanketed in a silvery blue light he turned to see the Moon in a bright starry sky. He sat thinking about everything for a moment what should he do? He decided not to impose but he didn't feel ready to confront Ryuto again either.

He said he good byes and took off. "Impmon will be he okay?" Mako asked.

"Yeah he's a Digimon." Impmon assured. "He's just gotta figure out what to do next."

Ayi nodded in agreement as Armadillomon took off.

With Ryuto the sun had rose and he made his way to school he pushed himself through the day and eventually.

"I'll take my brothers work to him Miss Nami." Ryuto replied.

"Thank you, Ryuto. I would've thought you'd do this all week, Justin, Miyuki and Nick have been doing it." Ms. Nami noted and as soon as she finished Miyuki came in. "Speak of the devil."

"Huh, Ryuto are you here to take Yoshi's school work to him?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's my turn…also I need to try and fix the mess I made….it's pretty deep." Ryuto sighed. "But I need to get started he's my brother after all."

Miyuki looked confused almost as if it was making her think but she nodded. "Good luck!" she replied.

Ryuto nodded, and took off taking the books with him he made his way to the bus and sat in the seat waiting as it began to take him across town. "Sigh….I hope he'll forgive me." He muttered to himself.

He stared out the window unaware that he just so happened to get on the bus as Armadillomon he watched warily wondering what to do he wasn't sure if he was ready to approach the boy yet since he had been so Volatile.

As they arrived at a stop light however a fog set in and instantly Armadillomon's senses perked up. "A Digimon!"

Ryuto sensed trouble as well his Digivice blaring a small siren and brightly glowing. "Without Armadillomon….I can't fight."

The bus was shaken a little knowing Ryuto over he quickly started to run off the bus as Armadillomon quietly followed when they escaped they saw what had attacked the bus just now. It looked like a messed up WereGarurumon that had stopped midway evolving to Metal Garurumon. It stood on two legs but they were metal and somewhat contorted. The beast was also hunched over with large metal paws that were caught between a hand and an actual paw. On it's back were wings that were merely poking out of it's back and it's pants were in tatters.

"Whoaaaa," Ryuto muttered in horror as he scanned it. "Glitch Garurumon: Virus type Mega level, A Cyborg Digimon that's part of the Metal Soldiers family. Special attacks are mangled claw and frozen burst."

"Ryuto!" shouted a voice he turned to see Armadillomon rush out towards him.

"Armadillomon!" Ryuto cried as he rushed towards the small rookie. "What are you doing here?!"

"I was…" he sputtered nervously when the large Digimon turned on them.

"Frost burst!" he shouted the various metal organs and his mouth giving off a burst of frigid air the two rushed away dodging the attack as it froze the bus shut many other people were screaming on it trapped.

"Oh No!" Ryuto cried as the monster turned away from the bus and stalked towards them. "Oh Crap….I don't suppose you can Digivolve to Mega?"

"No…" Armadillomon sighed but he smiled brightly as something swooped down from above. "But he can!" Beelzemon had landed a powerful punch on GlitchGarurumon knocking him back quite a bit.

"Who's that?!" Ryuto cried.

"It's Beleezemon!" Armadillomon cried in joy.

"I've heard of him…." Ryuto muttered remembering a conversation he had with Henry about him back when was trying to soften the blow of Yoshi being a Tamer.

Glitch Garurumon lunged with a slobbery howl and tried to slash Beelzemon who jumped away and landed a punch on him knocking him back and then pulled out his guns and shot at the mangled cyborg who dodged the moves nad jumped forward biting on his arm.

"Oww, oww, OOWWWWWW!" Beelzemon snarled trying to claw him off.

"We've gotta help him!" Ryuto shouted. "Are you willing to work with me Armadillomon?"

"Yeah!" he replied quickly.

Ryuto grabs a card similar to how Yoshi grabbed it however his face is shadowed from below
"Digimodify!" he shouted swiping the card in the opposite direction of how Yoshi would Diagonally "Razor shell activate!"

Metal spikes lined themselves down Armadillomon's back he rushed forward and jumped into the air. "Diamond shell!" he shouted spinning and hitting the back of the Digimon and make him scream and howl in pain he let go of Beelzemon who swung his leg landing a powerful kick.

Glitch Garurumon snarled and rushed at him claws out glowing a deep red as he swung his arms around quickly. "Mangle claw!" he shouted distorted slashes hit Beelzeemon as he tried to block he managed to do so but not before the claws dug into his arm.

"Two can play at that game!" Beelzemon snarled clawing him back by digging his own claws into the beast it howled in pain and then absorbed some cold air around him. "Frozen Burst!" it shouted blasting Beelzemon away from him. The ice surged everywhere freezing the entire area. When it settled the entire area was coated in a sheet of ice. GlitchGarurumon then snarled and started swinging his claws roaring Mangle claw over and over as everyone gave him space.

However Ryuto slipped and fell sliding a little groaning as he tried to get up with Glitch Garurumon snarling and stalking towards him. "Ryuto!" Armadillomon cried as he jumped in the way getting hit not by the claws but the back of the paws Ryuto jumped in the way and caught him hitting the ground and sliding quickly into a car on it's side frozen to the ground.

"Guys!" Beezlemon shouted.

Ryuto groaned and looked at Armadillomon he was in bad shape from that one hit. He stared in disbelief. "Why….Armadillomon after the way I treated you….why would you…." Ryuto hung his head in confusion and despair. Tears started to form in his eyes. "I'm sorry….I'm sorry…ARRRMAADILLOOOOOMOOOOOOOONNNN!" he screamed his Digivice lighting up brilliantly.

DIGIVOLUTION…

A see an egg in the screen of Ryuto's Dark orange and Gold D-Power a command activates and out comes Orange rings with Gold writing

"Armadillomon Digivolve too…"

Skin peels off his face as he stares of into the sky. It comes off his legs and tail before peeling off his shell he's encased in the egg first new skin covers his legs and metal bands with spikes as the egg crackles more skin forms around his new tail which has a mace ball on it then it goes on his shell which now has spikes of it's own a row on the middle of his back on each side of his shell of which are metal much like the end of his tail. Then finally his face as he growls at the screen and then the egg explodes open revealing a large Quadraped Dinosaur monster similar to an Ankylosaurus but it has a helmet like head with a couple of curved spikes in a crescent moon shape with green eyes peeking out metal spikes lining between the shell and a purple stomach and smaller yellow spikes on the shell with a large spiky tail with a mace on the end he lifts up a bit and slams down growling

"ANKYLOMON!"

The new champion stood tall in front of Ryuto allowing the bow to get on his back by lowering his tail. "Wow, you Digivolved!" Ryuto muttered in awe wordlessly climbing on Ankylomon who had a much better footing on the ground then Ryuto and his Rookie form did and even Beelzemon who was having to go into Blast mode in order to move more smoothly but Glitch Garurmon though not was well could get Arborne too however before he could get off the ground Ankylomon slammed into him.

Glitch Garurumon snarled and lunged at him but Ankylomon slid out of the way and merely hit him in the back with his tail again. "Way to use the ice!" Ryuto cheered.

"Thanks!" Ankylomon replied as he dodged another blow.

"I get it his weak point in his the back!" Beezlemon stated as he flew in but Glitch Garurumon quickly turned and unleashed a Mangle claw on him causing him some damage.

Beezlemon held his chest groaning in pain. "Are you okay?" Anklyomon asked.

"I'm fine but I need Dog breath to hold still!" Beezlemon replied.

"I think I have an idea Ankylomon if we can distract him Beezlemon will be able to get him but you'll need your strongest attack." Ryuto replied.

"That I can do!" Beezlemon replied.

Ryuto nodded, "okay you trust me Ankylomon I know I've been a terrible tamer and person but-"

"It's okay I forgive you." Ankylomon replied with a smile.

"Okay right now he's just standing there like some mangled car wreck if we sneak up on him we can hit him hard and then pin him down." Ryuto said to the Digimon.

"Got it!" they both replied as Beezlemon flew up to watch as Anklyomon snuck up on Glitch Garurumon his tail glowing a blue light.

"Tail Hammer!" he shouted slamming his tail hard into Glitch Garurumon forcing him off his feet and on the ground and then pinned him down with all his weight.

"Okay Beezlemon get him now!" Ryuto called.

"You got it Corona Blaaaasssterrr!" He shouted making the star symbol then the beam came out rushing down Ankylomon jumped away as the beam hit Glitch Garurumon in the back he screamed in absolute pain dissolving into data as it floated into the sky however it was suddenly collected together it didn't reform but was sucked towards a small square device.

There was a Hypnos Agent who stood there holding the device he tapped a head set. "Data collected sir."

"Good return to head quarters don't mind any Tamers there." Yamaki called.

"Understood."

"What's going on?" Beezlemon asked.

"While we were tracking this Digimon something forced it to Digivolve if you want to come with me we can explain it more at HQ."

The three looked at each other. "I'll catch up Ayi and Mako are gonna want to know where I'm going so they don't worry." Beezlemon replied.

"I'll go but uhhh." Ryuto replied looking at Anklyomon.

"Take your timie we'll wait for you Yamaki wants all of you together to hear this we're positive someone is behind the Digimon being forced to Biomerge much like Greymon." The Agent replied.

"Oh!" the three stated.

"We'll be there soon!" Ryuto replied.

DT DT DT

With some help from the others Anklyomon was able to De-Digivolve in a few hours soon everyone was heading to the Hypnos building. "Armadillomon…" Ryuto asked as he rode with his brother and Horrormon in a van driven by Henry's dad. "Why did you do that after the way I treated you."

"Because it was the right thing to do, I don't think you're a bad human but I just..…." Armadillomon sighed.

"Sigh, I don't think I deserved it." Ryuto replied.

"You were just trying to help me." Yoshi suddenly spoke up. "But you need to trust us and Armadillomon."

"He's right and they won because they trusted you." Horrormon pointed out.

Ryuto nodded and laid back. "Hey….I don't hate you and we're still brothers if that helps. But….next time please don't be so mean even if you do mean well or are upset." Yoshi replied.

"Yeah that's what I'm thinking!" Armadillomon replied happily from the floor.

Ryuto smiled almost crying.
