Aurasoul: Hello everyone! So I am so sorry for the delay of the chapter if you ever get involved in the Medical field, youll have trouble finding time for yourself.

Skyler: That and because of the recent movies you've been going down a large rabbitmon hole on theories and such.

Aurasoul: That too hence the newest poll on my profile! Who do you think is the real Digimon God, King Drasil or Homeostasis? And what are your theories on the Digimon Adventure world now in regards of Movie Kizuna and Beginning? Id love to hear them so long as their civil.

Skyler: And before she forgets Aurasoul doesnt own Digimon Adventures nor Amber Ishida who belongs to Wrath.

Aurasoul: Thank you Sky! And with that lets get started!

Chapter 15 Star Crossed Fate

He was a large male humanoid Digimon. He was very muscular and gave off a strict and harsh demeanor as he looked down at them with his arms crossed.

Ok now I see what mom and Wizarmon were talking about. Skyler thought with a gulp. Gankoomon turned his gaze away from Skyler and Taichi to face Renamon and though she seemed calm Skyler could see the tip of her partner's ear twitch.

"So this is your partner Renamon." Gankoomon replied.

"That is right Gankoomon." Renamon nodded.

"Wait, you guys do know each other?" Taichi questioned.

"Yes, albeit that was a long time ago." Gankoomon replied, walking past them. "I should hope you didnt come all this way just because of his seal."

"Don't put words in my mouth Gankoomon." Renamon snapped.

"His? You mean Beelzebumon?" Skyler questioned. Gankoomon looked at Skyler before glancing at Renamon.

"So you havent told her?" He questioned.

"At the time I never thought to bring it up." Renamon frowned. "But I'm sure Ciel told you about the situation."

"Takumi, the creation of that abomination Jin." Gankoomon grunted. "And the small group of Digimon he's leading, including a Doumon."

"Then you see the problem. Skyler and I can't reach Perfect evolution, we need you to train us." Renamon frowned.

"Hmph and you know my training isn't for the faint of heart." Gankoomon frowned.

"Faint of heart? Neither of us are hesitating." Skyler began.

"You sure about that girl?" Gankoomon snapped, making Skyler flinch. "Because you appear otherwise."

"What?" Skyler questioned.

"Just what are you implying Gankoomon?" Renamon growled.

"Maybe you should be asking yourself that first before myself." Gankoomon frowned.

"I know where my loyalties lie." Renamon snapped with a growl. "That's why I'm standing here now."

"Even with him here?" Gankoomon questioned, pointing at IceDevimon. "After all the time he would-"

"You think I'm that desperate?" Renamon demanded, offended. "I of all people know better than to break his trust and risk what he sacrificed for!"

Skyler and Taichi were beyond confused by this argument as were Agumon and IceDevimon while the Sistermon looked at one another worried, finally Skyler stepped between Renamon and Gankoomon.

"That's enough." She frowned, facing her partner. "Renamon please, won't you tell us everything?"

Renamon looked conflicted and torn but finally her ears drooped and sighed.

"Alright, to be honest after this mess had started I thought about telling you but…" Renamon frowned.

"Better now then never." Skyler smiled gently.

"She's right it's no good keeping it all in." Taichi added gently. Renamon nodded, sighing softly.

"Well I'll make us some tea then." Noir spoke. They all agreed and soon they all sat accepting the tea from Noir and Blanc. Once they settled Renamon sipped her tea taking a breath.

"Well I should first admit I'm not like regular partner Digimon." She began. "Unlike those who are born anew, I did have a life prior and still retain those memories."

"So you had your own personal life before we even met." Skyler replied.

"Thats right of course I was in my ultimate form at the time. Sakuyamon." Renamon nodded.

"Sakuyamon." Skyler breathed.

"Sakuyamon is known as a Digimon that holds the role of a miko acting upon God's will, you will." Noir explained.

"I don't know about that." Renamon smiled ruefully. "In my miko form I stayed in my home in the forests helping and aiding Digimon in need."

Renamon stared at her reflection in her tea memories coming back to her again.

"Of course that changed when he came into my life." She admitted.

"He?" Taichi asked.

"Beelzebumon." Gankoomon answered, drinking his tea. They looked shocked while Renmon still didn't look up from her own tea.

"It's been so many years since that day…" She whispered.

Flashback….

Sakuyamon carefully walked to the field to collect herbs, her basket in hand. She sensed powerful data from the outside of her barrier but felt no Digimon breaking through.

"Must've been a battle in the valleys." She remarked. She reached the secluded fields where her herbs grew and just as she began gathering some she stopped feeling a presence.

"An injured Digimon" She wondered, standing. She walked looking across the fields and found a shape in the ground. Getting closer she stopped shocked to see an injured Digimon unconscious on the ground, she quickly kneeled next to the Digimon.

"Judging by the data I'm sensing he's clearly an Ultimate." She muttered, taking a closer look and softly gasped. "Wait, this is Beelzebumon…!"

Sakuyamon had heard word of the activities of the Seven Great Demon Lords in the Digital World, but Beelzebumon she had heard the least about. Yet she knew he was the type that wouldn't battle the weak due to his pride. She carefully looked over him seeing how harsh his injuries were. After some thought she nodded, picking up her basket and then slung the unconscious Demon Lord on her back carrying him to her hut.

End of Flashback…

They looked at Renamon shocked as she finally drank her tea and set her cup down.

"I took him to my hut and patched up his wounds and soon enough he had woken up." She said. "Naturally he was just as surprised that I found and helped him, but I would never turn away a Digimon in need."

"So you just let him stay with you?" Taichi questioned, shocked.

"Weren't you worried he would attack you?" Agumon asked.

"He was too injured to try and even then he wouldn't be able to get past my barrier." Renamon explained. "That was something even he knew."

"But there was more to it right?" They looked at Skyler who had a knowing look.

"Come on Renamon, I've known you long enough to know there was another reason." Skyler said. At that Renamon chuckled.

"Funny he said the same thing." She replied. "Once he fully recovered he cornered me and demanded to know why I helped him. Even asked if I did it out of pity."

"And what did you tell him?" IceDevimon asked. Renamon looked at IceDevimon and actually gave a smile.

"I simply told him I wanted to see his eyes upon his awakening." She answered.

"Wha?! They gaped.

"His eyes Renamon? No offense but that sounds like a very cheesy pick up line." Skyler deadpanned at her partner.

"I only spoke the truth." Renamon shrugged. "Granted he actually got flustered and left in a hurry."

"For that can't exactly blame him." Noir muttered, Blanc nodded in agreement.

"But he returned." Renamon smiled, making them look at her. "He came back to me."

Flashback…

Sakuyamon tidied up her hut per her usual routine but today was different she could tell. Then she sensed that familiar power that made her smile, putting away her broom. She stepped out to hear an engine and witness Beelzebumon riding on his Behemoth. He stopped in front of her home and got off standing in front of her almost conflicted. But she gave him a kind and welcoming smile.

"Welcome home." She said. He looked shocked before he slowly relaxed.

"I'm… I'm home." He spoke.

End of flashback…

"He never stayed for too long periods, he never said it but it was clear he didnt want the other Demon Lords to know about me." Renamon said. "Would see me as a… Distraction."

Skyler and Taichi winced in understanding the hidden meaning. They would've tried to kill her. That sent shivers down their spines.

"But he was still a Demon Lord." IceDevimon finally spoke, silent the entire time, making them jump. "What of the Chosen Children?"

Renamon, unphased by IceDevimon suddenly speaking, gave a tiny smile.

"Ironically enough they came to me hoping to get my help against the Demon Lords." She said. "Of course they came on the day he was present."

Flashback…

Sakuyamon was outside her hut sorting her herb stock with different baskets. She gave a side glance to Beelzebumon who sat behind a tree, seemingly asleep, arms crossed and his guns next to him. She gently smiled before resuming sorting when she felt a sudden shift making her look up. She set the herbs down and stood up, making Beelzebumon open his eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"A group has crossed through my barrier." She replied lightly.

"How many?" He frowned, picking up his gun. Sakuyamon lifted a hand to stop Beelzebumon.

"Coss not broken Beelzebumon." She told him calmly. "They're no threat otherwise the barrier wouldn't have let them through."

"We can't take chances." He snapped.

"I did it with you." She pointed out, making him go silent.

"Even so." He began again.

"Beelzebumon?!" The two looked up and she was mildly surprised to see a group of Digimon and what she could only guess were humans.

Are these the Chosen Children I've heard about? She thought.

"Get away from her!" A young Ren yelled, Guilmon growling at his side.

"Sakuyamon step away from him, he's one of the Demon Lords!" Huckmon voiced.

"I know that." Sakuyamon stated, shocking them. "Beelzebumon is my companion and as such is welcome here just as you are Chosen Children."

They all looked surprised as Sakuyamon placed a gentle hand on Beelzebumon's shoulder to calm him. He only slightly relaxed as he glared at the Chosen Children and their Digimon.

"But why is one of the Demon Lords here?" A young Arisa questioned.

"Funny I should be questioning you brats that." Beelzebumon growled. "Just what do you want with Sakuyamon?"

"We came here to request Sakuyamon's help in the battle of the Seven Great Demon Lords." A young Julia stated, a Dorumon at her side, not bothering to hide their objective at this point.

"Over my data." Beelzebumon growled, raising one of his pistols. "She's not going anywhere near them."

"Are you saying you weren't planning on handing her over to your fellow Demon Lords yourself?" Wizarmon accused.

"He has no intention of doing so." Sakuyamon stated firmly. "Otherwise he would have done so a long time ago."

"Hold on so he hasn't done anything to you" A red haired girl Chosen Child with a V-mon next to her asked shocked.

"That doesn't sound like a Demon Lord at all." Noir frowned.

"It's as I told you Beelzebumon is my companion." Sakuyamon stated. "He has given me no reason to doubt him."

"Then what is your true intention?" Dorumon questioned Beelzebumon.

Beelzebumon scowled but a look to Sakuyamon had him put down his pistol and scoff.

"I told you brats before I never saw eye to eye with the other Demon Lords." He stated.

"I thought the Seven great Demon Lords share the same objective of ruling both the Human and Digital World." A golden haired boy Chosen Child frowned, a Kotemon at his side.

"I never cared for any of that." Beelzebumon frowned. "I only search for strong opponents to fight and give me the thrill of battle. I never had a need for lackeys and underlings. I move alone and like it that way."

But Sakuyamon." Guilmon began.

"She and she alone is the only exception." Beelzebumon snapped. "I never even asked for the title of Demon Lord in the first place and even then I never liked the other ones anyway. Least of all Lucemon and Daemon."

"Why them?" V-mon asked surprised.

"They're in league with each other. When Lucemon made his little rebellion against 'God' years ago Daemon had been his second in command to his Fallen Angel Digimon." Beelzebumon frowned. "They see working with that woman will help them get their revenge and rule what they believe belongs to them."

"You mean Jun Teshima." Julia frowned.

"Yeah that's her." Beelzebumon frowned. "She's her own kind of crazy that I want no part of, though the other Demon Lords have other ideas."

"But if you don't support them then why the heck did you fight us last time?!" A boy Chosen Child with an Agumon snapped angrily.

"Weren't you listening?" Beelzebumon scoffed. "I thrive for the thrill of battle, finding strong Digimon to fight. It was Barbamon who told me you'd be able to satisfy it. Plus if you couldn't be able to defeat me you have no hope of defeating the rest, especially Lucemon."

They all looked at one another with frowns on their faces as Sakuyamon observed them. As Beelzebumon said Lucemon is the most powerful of the Seven Great Demon Lords while the rest are just as powerful hence the Chosen Children's need for allies.

Given the Digimon here it's clear how the final battle needs to play out. Sakuyamon thought.

"It's clear you brats are all in over your heads." Beelzebumon frowned.

"But we will not let them win!" Blanc voiced.

"We are the Chosen Children.: Julia stepped up, her golden Crest of Miracles shining. "We may have been brought here abruptly but we stand here with our partner Digimon, our friends, to fight and protect the Digital and Human world. We don't view ourselves as heroes, we only desire to have peace for all the Digimon here and protect our home world. That's why we won't give up no matter what."

"Yeah!" Everyone yelled. Sakuyamon had a light smile, she could see why these human children were chosen and had earned the trust of many Digimon. Maybe even…

"Hmph cocky brats Ill give you that." Beelzebumon scoffed, making some shout. Yet he smirked. "But I can get behind that."

He then kneeled down to be eye level with Julia and Dorumon to their surprise.

"So I'm willing to make a deal with you." He said.

"A deal?" Julia blinked.

"What kind of deal?" Dorumon growled.

"Let's face facts no matter how you look at it, the Demon Lords have an advantage over you punks." Beelzebumon stated. "But if you had eyes and ears on the inside that'll be a different story."

Julia grew wide eyed at what Beelzebumon was implying while the others gaped shocked.

"You want to be our double agent?!" A boy, Chosen Child with a Gabumon at his side said shocked.

"You'd betray your fellow Demon Lords?" Noir questioned in disbelief.

"I told you before I don't have any loyalty nor any obligation to them." Beelzebumon replied. "I do what I wish."

Julia looked at Beelzebumon conflicted.

"But if they find out." She began.

"Hence why you'll make my reward worth it." Beelzebumon stated. "I do this and you protect Sakuyamon."

"Eh?" Julia blinked.

"Beelzebumon?" Sakuyamon questioned, shocked.

"Sakuyamon is probably the one good thing I got going, hence why I don't want those guys anywhere near her." Beelzebumon stated. "You protect her and you got yourself a spy. Not a bad trade off you gotta admit."

"Out of the question!" Sakuyamon defied. "I cannot allow you to do this for my sake Beelzebumon."

"Sakuyamon please." Sakuyamon gasped, stunned by Beelzebumon asking and his bright red eyes flashing green.

"Let me do this." He said. Sakuyamon was speechless for a moment before nodding relenting and Beelzebumon faced Julia again.

"So what do you say?" He asked her, putting his hand out. "Care to make a deal with a demon Digimon?"

Julia looked at Beelzebumon for a few moments glancing at Dorumon who nodded as she smiled.

"It's not a deal." Beelzebumon blinked as Julia proudly shook his hand.

"It's a promise between allies."

End of flashback…

Taichi, Skyler, and Agumon looked at Renamon stunned as she stared at her empty teacup, setting it down for Blanc to refill it.

"So Beelzebumon became our double agent for the Demon Lords, passing us information that allowed us an edge over them, truly we thought things would bear well for us." Renamon said, as Blanc moved back allowing Renamon to take her cup.

"... But then why?" Skyler asked, making them look at her. "If Beelzebumon was on your side, why was he sealed like the rest of the Demon Lords?"

Renamon stiffened and Skyler could actually see her partner shaking hunching over.

"Because… Because they caught him." She choked, making them look horrified. "They found out about what he was doing so they tortured him and put them through that awful operation making him a mindless monster. We had no choice but to… To defeat him."

Skyler hugged Renamon tightly, horrified at what she had to experience. To lose someone dear like that was too awful. Taichi and Agumon sat net to Renamon as comfort and Renamon gave a kind smile.

"I'm fine, really I am." She assured.

"So then how did you become Skyle's partner?" IceDevimon asked.

"Heh, you can take a guess to that." Renamon snorted, mildly amused.

Flashback…

Sakuyamon sat silently on the hill near her hut. The wind blew making the grass rustle. She was all alone and preferred it after all the crises that had happened. She sighed softly looking at the pistol in her hands sadly.

"I thought I might find you here."

Sakuyamon didnt even look up from hearing the voice. The energy emanating from him made it clear who he was. He sat down next to her as she looked at Gennai.

"You look younger." She remarked.

"Not a bad look, don't you think?" He smiled. She scoffed amused, making him chuckle before they silently looked ahead.

"So what do I owe the visit?" She asked.

"Can't I visit an old friend?" He asked calmly.

"No." She deadpanned, making him yelp. "Get on with it Gennai."

"Ok, ok fair enough." He admitted defeat, before getting serious. "I was thinking of you being a partner for a Chosen Child."

"... What?" She finally asked.

"There is a child who I believe would benefit from having you at her side." He told her. "And this will give you the chance to rest yourself."

She looked at him and then at the pistol in her hands clutching it tightly and let out a choked laugh.

"Sure why not." She breathed. "I dare say this child and I need this."

End of flashback…

"Once he gave me time to wrap up loose ends. I finally rested, becoming a Digi-Tama." Renamon said, looking at Skyler. "And you know the rest."

Skyler nodded before looking up at Gankoomon.

"I don't know what your problem but frankly I don't care. We came here for you to train us because Ginryuumon said it was the best way to be able to achieve Perfect Level." Skyler frowned, her golden Crest of Miracles shining. "We want to protect the Digital and Human World for both Digimon and humans. If you won't help us we'll find someone else that will. We won't give up nor will we surrender. And as a Chosen Child I'll do my duty with my friends at my side."

Taichi and Agumon smiled while IceDevimon smirked and the Sistermons were speechless, quickly looking at Gankoomon. Gankoomon stared at Skyler for a long moment. Truly he could see Julia Miramiki in her. It was no wonder they shared the same Crest. He then stood up, surprising them.

"Blanc, Noir take them to the guest rooms upstairs, we will start training first thing in the morning." He told them. They all looked surprised before Blanc and Nori smiled brightly.

"Yes Gankoomon-sama!" They cheered.

"Thank you." Renamon said.

"Thank me, after you achieve Perfect." Gankoomon stated.

In the dead of night a lone shape traveled to the beach of Gankoomon's hut in deadly agility and grace. Suddenly the figure stopped for moonlight to shine on them revealing a blue veil modeled after a mouse.

"Finally returned, now I can relay the reports to Gankoomon-sama." Ciel sighed. "Hopefully he is in instead of traveling. This is important."

Ciel held her sword close to her as she walked to the hut before she stiffened and quickly turned.

"Is someone at the Seal?!" She gasped. She quickly ran through the mountain range and gasped to see an IceDevimon standing silently in front of the Seal.

"You!" She shouted, raising her Shirosume-Ichimonji. "Step away from that Seal!"

The IceDevimon turned and Ciel grew wide eyed, stopping herself. This IceDevimon seemed different somehow compared to others of its race. IceDevimon gave a light smile.

"Sistermon Ciel, glad to see you haven't changed." He replied. Ciel blinked at this before frowning.

"Do I know you?" She questioned. He didn't answer her and turned back to face the Seal again.

"I didn't think this could possibly happen. After what happened to me, I was ready to perish." He chuckled, covering his face. "Yet I'm alive again and that Renamon is my Sakuyamon. And here I am confessing this to you Mousey. What is my life coming to?"

Ciel grew wide eyed, slowly lowering her sword in shock by his words.

Only one Digimon called me Mousey…! It can't be! Ciel thought shocked. "Beelzebumon?!"

Aurasoul: And thats that!

Skyler: Ok! Just what do you have planned for this story?!

Aurasoul: Thanks to said Rabbitmon hole I got a lot of stuff I wanna do. But until then! Next chapter while Taichi discusses with Skyler in regards of the fellow Chosen Children her parents were with when they were kids while she and Renamon trains with Gankoomon, Gankoomon and the Sistermons will discuss the current situations of the Digital World! So until then please read and review!

Renamon: And as some of you may have noticed the Digimon names and so on will be transitioning to their sub names.

Aurasoul: Some I might keep dub for the sake of nostalgia given I grew up with it but since Ive been preferring it sub there will be name changes . So until then everyone!
