The waterways beneath the city were an excellent hunting ground for sacrifices according to what she was told. Indeed, the mysterious old man had spoken before about the existence of the Virulent Waterways and the denizen that lurked within it. There was no doubt that whoever, or whatever lurked within those dark corridors, they either had lost their mind, or were trying to run and hide from their past deeds. Sure beings were obviously more than good enough for her to prowl upon, and there was not even a reason for her to feel worried or guilty about hunting such fiends! Yes, that was the reason why Reikiko was here. She and Kuro needed to collect more data, to obtain more sacrifices to obtain the power that her partner needed for an ascension. Nevertheless, it worried her a little how spacious those waterways were, and if not for the help of Kuro she would most certainly have gotten lost. Nevertheless, the trail left behind in the form of the signs of past conflicts, claw markings on the floor, burnt spots on the walls, there was no avoiding the fact she had left behind a trail with each Digimon that Kuro had consumed. And finally after yet another prey had fallen, her digivice raised toward it the girl could have sworn she heard footsteps come from further in the distance. The fact her prey, a Goblimon was only halfway devoured into data, data that her digivice had been absorbing the footsteps suggested at the very least one person, either human or Digimon was approaching, and she didn't exactly like that. Kuro had already stepped between her, and the spot the footsteps were coming from, but she was still wary, waiting to see who, or what was heading her way... "... Whose there?" --- short post is short~

Chasing a Predator

As Ryuu and his digimon were traveling about TeraByte city they'd hear a strange noise off towards one of the entrances to the sewers. It was rumored to be home to many dangerous, rogue Digimon who have lost their minds and chosen willingly to dwell below. So hearing the screams he'd investigate perhaps a smaller digimon or tamer got lost and thought the sewers was a short cut to somewhere in town.

Either way the trio would make their way forth into the dreadful place known as the Virulent Waterways. If the stench wasn't bad the singed walls and mess of sulfer would sure get to you as the trio made it deeper in they'd hear some noises then a voice,  "... Whose there?"

the voice asked almost cautious as the rather giant looking male would reveal himself from the shadows with his hands up. A guilmon x and Veemon x stepping out as well as they stood before him and the one known as Kuro.

"A concerned citizen is all. I thought perhaps someone was lost with all the screams and damage done here...but I see your...training?"

He'd ask questionably as the data was being absorbed. His hand rubbing at his temple.

"You realize what your doing is not only ethically questionable but morally wrong....however seeing as half these digimon here are mindless husks of them former self I can see why one might find it okay or a crusade for justice to release these poor creatures."

He'd say disapproving at the same time understanding her goals; although normally most would just let the data go she was however collecting it. A swift way to train but a more deadly one.

"So, you've collected data of digimon here? How much have you collected. You don't plan to assimilate it with your Black augmon do you?"

He'd ask before explaining just what it she was doing.

"Clearly you know that assimilating a digimon's data can absorb their very essence, eliminating the absorbed Digimon from existence and making the absorber slightly more powerful. That much seems to be clear as you seem content with your digimon becoming stronger this way, probably a tip you got from another tamer or found out yourself. However as a veteran tamer, if repetitively do this it can be harmful to your Digimon's mental state."

He'd finish his long winded less on before folding his arms and looking to his digimon who found the act utterly disgusting and turned their gaze. Had she just defeated them they'd respect her but assimilating digimon and erasing them from existence it was a sad thought even if they were crazy. Turning Veemon would sigh

"Lets go Ryuu, she is trouble. If a girl like her is fine with destroying a digimon entirely we should just leave, she might try to just assimilate us an I'd like to stay alive."

Guilmon glaring he'd growl,

"Screw that I saw we whip their ass and teach her a lesson assimilate her digimon and see how she feels to lose someone forever. Although these digimon are considered beneath many they are still partents, friends and lovers to someone. Your actions are far from noble and you should pay."

He'd growl as the male shifted his gaze to veemon and then guilmon.

"Enough, she may not have known, the best we can do is ask her to stop and guide her down the more nobel and more rewarding way to train. Two wrongs do not make a right Duke and it's not wise to turn your back on a possible enemy Vee"

Sighing he'd fold his arms. Standing 6'5 he'd look to the girl and then her digimon,

"So how will we go about this?"

He questioned almost curious to see what she thought. His massive body builder like size intimidating to most yet his long flowing white hair nearly reached the ground  only added to his barbaric look as he walked bare feet and shirtless about the digital world; only wearing pants and a cape most of the time. A small set of dramon teeth he collected over the years rest about his neck as his golden hues locked upon the female. He believed everyone was worth saving an given a second change. What would she do with the one he was giving her.

//Sorry for an intense greeting. The actions made would warrant a response like such given his alignment to Lawful Good.

A concerned citizen? Despite the slight narrowing of her gaze, perhaps a hint of her suspicion of the man's intentions Reikiko couldn't help but smile briefly at the stranger's comment. To describe her actions as training was a rather curious, albeit amusing way to describe her activity, and for a moment she couldn't help herself from musing out loud. "Training... that's one way to describe it." The man soon proceeded to provide her with a lecture of his own, seemingly describing the act of consuming the essence of those fallen digimon as morally wrong, and even questionable at best. Perhaps it was because of her past that she couldn't help but let out a brief chuckle, the remaining data being consumed by the corrupted digivice before she turned toward him. "No matter what world we live in, there will always be things that are considered morally wrong, or questionable on an ethical base. Nevertheless, has it occurred to you that what one person might consider wrong, another one considers perfectly fine? It's all just a matter of perspective, or in my case I consider it an end that justifies the means." Yet despite the smile that lingered upon her lips, she couldn't conceal the shadow of darkness that lingered in her eyes, the shadow of grief and regret that still lurked within the back of her mind. A question appeared surrounding her activities, mostly about whether she had been collecting the data from the fallen digimon, the quantity she had collected and whether she planned to assimilate it with her partner. Despite Kuro only giving the man a cold glare she decided to at least provide him with an answer. "Yes, I have been collecting the essence of those who fallen, both physically and mentally. I won't be trying to deceive either of us by saying it's a noble thing, but at the very least it's a threat less for those who shouldn't be threatened." When the man resumed to talk about the act of assimilating data, and the consequences it had upon the user Reikiko's gaze cast sideways toward the ground. She knew all too well the strain that it had upon Kuro, certainly it didn't change him 'permanently' but she could feel that there was something wrong with him at times. Like that time he drawn upon that power. It seemed her partner sensed Reikiko's discomfort, for he stepped before her, growling at the man. "Stop babbling nonsense! I won't change! I promised Aneki! To ensure she won't ever cry again... to make sure she'll never suffer again I'll become stronger than anyone! Strong enough to erase all things that make her sad!" Kuro's words seemed to stir something within her, her hand gripping the digivice more tightly as she raised a hand, resting it lightly upon her partner's head to caress it while she addressed the man. "You're partly correct in your statement, Ryuu was it? The act of assimilating data over and over is certain to have consequences, but at the same time I'm not merely infusing my partner with it. No, such an act would be merely a regular tamer's blind pursuit for power. I'm converting this energy into something else, a stimulant for my partner. Surely you heard about it before, Ankoku Shika..." She whispered the last word, the twisted form of an evolution for a Digimon, yet as she explained her intentions to the man she slowly opened her hand, revealing the obsidian digivice in her hand. "A normal tamer forcing such a dark evolution would corrode their partner's mind into a savage fiend. But unfortunately I'm not a normal tamer. My only way... my only way to grant my partner the ability to evolve is through this twisted power. His Ankoku Shinka grants him an intense power, the energy that we assimilated here, but it doesn't corrode his mind." Yet the comments of the two Digimon caused her lips to curve up into a brief smirk, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "I would be careful with your statement Guilmon, although I came here with only the intention to devour those who have fallen far enough that no salvation is left for them, I fear that Kuro isn't that fond of declining challenges." The blackagumon nodded his head firmly, taking a threatening step forwards "If there is any ass being kicked it will be yours!" Yet Reikiko's gesture, the small brushing motion with her hand silenced the black raptor as she looked at the man, seemingly thinking about his words. "Although I preferred to avoid needless conflict, it seems one of your partners is insisting to deal with my behind, as... questionable as a digimon's interest in my rear might be, I believe my partner is itching for a fight also. How about a little challenge? A simple test of strength. Who is stronger, you and your companions who seemingly desire to represent the light that brings hope... or me and my partner, a tamer of darkness? I don't mind if we just fight till one of us is unable to continue fighting. I won't try to assimilate your partners, and if I lose I'll cease trying to obtain power through this way. However, if I win you will acknowledge my methods of obtaining power and not interfere." Could it be that she was challenging him to make a point? To prove that her Ankoku Shinka was superior to the power the light within his Digimon represented? "My name is Reikiko by the way... I guess I shall follow social etiquette for once and introduce myself, would be annoying if only one of us knows the other's name..." Yet despite her smile it seemed there was a certain coldness in her words, and judging from Kuro's clear sign of hostility toward the strangers there was no doubt that if Ryuu wanted her to stop, then words would be futile. He'd have to prove that his Digimon were stronger than the power of her dark evolution! But was that a task he could accomplish? Only time would tell...

Chasing a Predator

As Ryuu he stood quietly listening he'd look to his team who became angry. He himself were growing tired of her words. He'd been in the digital world for as long as she was probably alive; starting his adventure around eight and now being 25. That was well over 17 years of experience under his belt. A faint sigh passed his lips. In all his years, he'd met some foolish youth but this one was adamant about it.

"If you insist on continuing despite my efforts to stop you peacefully then I have no choice but to do so by force. Duke, Vee we will show her that her ideoloy is wrong and that she is walking down a misguided path. The power of love and friendship will always surpass the power of darkness and malice such as this. Light will shine brightest even in absolute dark..."

Raising his hand he'd order the two to charge in, Guilmon rushing in fast as Veemon bolted left. Guilmon's body thrusting forth would throw a jab from his right claw; ¹Rock Breaker₀. The strike would be made at the same time Veemon would appear behind it throwing a basic punch hoping to catch it in a pincer attack.

Almost immediately after the strikes were made Guilmon would aim at Augumon and use a ²Pyrosphere₁ close range hoping to hit it either off guard when struck from veemon or perhaps distracted and dodging the assault from the blue digimon hitting it when off guard or in mid air; perhaps burning the augumon had contact been made.

Mean while as Guilmon was busy with his Pyrosphere, Veemon would rush towards it swinging both of its arms in circles, attempting to strike at the opponent; ¹Buzzing Punch₀. Before Guilmon would shift left and attempt to attack it from behind with a ¹Rock Breaker₀. The point of most of their actions were not hit the digimon full force but to cause it to go on the defensive and tire it out for when they were ready to really attack.

None the less their unison on the field seemed to appear quite elegant as they almost danced about one strike leading to the other making it hard to avoid one but not the next only to keep an opponent on it's toes; this sort of experience from years of working together an a natural synergy formed from brothers.

Ryuu remained calm and quiet as he watched with his arms folded waiting to see how well the two trained together; if there wasn't any sync or they were reliant on their data collected to much it wouldn't be worth the trouble. However if they were more then expected he'd turn things up a notch.

It seemed a battle was inevitable, and she was more than eager to meet the challenge! The Guilmon seemed to had taken the initiative, darting forwards, and being the confident warrior that he was Kuro was all too eager to answer the challenge that was being presented! The raptor darted forwards, a claw raised upwards, and the moment the Guilmon struck Kuro's claw swung from the opposite direction, both of them locking together in a clash, as if they had been blades! However, the moment he saw a shadow move from the corner of his eye Kuro turned his body sideways, skillfully intercepting the attack. "Kuro!" It seemed her call was enough to warn her partner, for the moment the Guilmon prepared to open his maw the Blackagumon seemed to strengthen his grip on the ground, before launching himself in a backwards flip above the Veemon! Of course one would have initially assumed this left Kuro wide-open for an attack as he was in mid-air, until the raptor raised his chest, a inhaling breath following as he shouted confidently. "PEPPER BREATH!" The Blackagumon's maw unleashed a volley of fireballs, two of them clashing into the Pyrosphere, while the third one seemingly headed for the charging Veemon! If the poor digimon didn't abandon his charge, he might had gotten hit and found himself inflicted with burns! Still, the Guilmon's attempt to get behind him had been just enough for the red-colored dragon to land a claw slash onto the raptor's shoulder. Yet Kuro had already started turning around, eyes filled with determination as a swift flurry of claw slashes followed, his savage Mach Jab Combo being unleashed as a retaliation! It was after that retaliation the Blackagumon made several backwards steps, a grin of excitement on his lips. "Those guys aren't too shabby Aneki, I don't think I should fool around too much with them." Reikiko merely nodded her head, making the raptor's eyes narrow into a focused gaze. Those two were quite a handful for him to handle, if they had come one at a time then he would have easily bested them, but the synchronization between the two of them shown that those two had the same type of strong connection like he and Reikiko did, and that somehow annoyed him. Would he be able to win like this? The waterway they were in was fairly large, so if he transformed he likely wouldn't be too hindered by the location. Still, it felt like something was different. That look in his partner's eyes told him she was waiting for something. "Friendship and Love? Ridiculous! You wanna-be heroes are all the same! Preaching about friendship and love, yet blissfully ignorance that friendship and love are only given by you guys when it's convenient for you!" That's right... Where was friendship when he got betrayed by his former tamer? He loved his tamer! The desire to have experienced glorious adventures alongside him had once been one of Kuro's greatest wishes. Yet at the same time those things were never returned. It was the same case for his partner. Reikiko had always tried to love people, she loved the concept of friendship and did all in her might to help those she considered her friends, and she was betrayed and abandoned as the result of humanity's selfish side! His eyes started to narrow as a dark energy started to seep from around his body, black sparks of energy coming from his body, while surprisingly enough it seemed the same thing was happening to Reikiko, the digivice in her hand glowing with a bright black light. "DO NOT TALK ABOUT SUCH THINGS TO ME!" It seemed that the two had shouted their angry remark at the same time, and it was likely clear to Ryuu that whatever was going on, this wasn't merely malice for the sake of selfish desires. This darkness was much thicker, and somewhat much more tragic and sorrowful. As Reikiko's hand slowly raised forwards, her digivice glowing darker by the moment it was clear that something serious was about to happen soon. "Kuro..." Yes, it was about to happen, the dark energy that was flowing from the two of them should have been enough to hint that the ominous warning Reikiko had given earlier was about to happen. She was about to use that twisted power, the power of a Dark Evolution. It would only be a few more moments until she'd obtain the last bits of power she needed, a power that was even borrowing from their own negative emotions. "I feel it... Aneki's sorrow... my anger... I'll make them realize just how ignorant they are!" The blackagumon roared out, seemingly reading himself for something big!

As the fire balls were fired off at them two nullifying the Pyrosphere, as Veemon had swung it's arms and the last one was aimed for it it would tactically roll left avoiding the strike and growl. It was at this moment the Guilmon's Rock Breaker had hit and nicked the shoulder. A claw striking at it too would nick the shoulder.

Growling as the two stood there Ryuu would watch the two retaliate; almost sensing their pain closing his eyes as he raised a hand telling his partners to stop he'd stand between them and toss aside his cape. His large toned body coated in scars; some small others big as he raised a hand pointing at them to himself.

"I've been here 17 years...more years then you have lived an not once in my 17 years did I ever see such pain and sorrow but I will tell you now my words hold truth...these scars each a tale of my own sorrow. This scar, a time when veemon was attacked by an Anubismon. I charged in and struck him myself several times til he focused me to save his life This scar, the time I fought hand to hand along side them against an horde of Devimon."

He'd say shaking his head,

"My point is I'm not talking to you as a tamer, I am talking to you as someone who genuinely cares. I'd die for my digimon just like they'd die for me, but you know what. I don't come back, but that has never once stopped me from doing what I want for them, why..you digimon aren't pixels or data your living beings, creatures with souls and feelings. Not just 1's or 0's. These digimon aren't my partners either...they are family."

He'd sigh as he then walked back some grabbing his cloak as he sighed,

"If these words mean nothing to you and you insist on staying alone and doing this the hard way then so be it. We won't hold back and I won't expect you to do the same. Go ahead and lets finish this now and not waste any games. If you won't accept my hand as an ally and insist on driving yourself mad and to be alone afraid then I can not help you. I offer my hand as a guide down the right path, a safe path. One with friends family, people who care. This isn't something one does alone... "

He'd say looking over his shoulder.

"Vee...Duke. No more games. Go all out if they wish to continue, I will show her how strong love is over darkness. One can only get so far by themselves."

He'd say as the two stepped back once more creating space and grinned,

"Go on, digivolve... Ryuu, lets digivolve as well."

They'd say as he shook his head,

"Not just yet, it isn't needed. We can still do this as is for now, remember digivolving isn't the only strength that comes from with in and a good general knows when to strike. I don't know who hurt these two but if it takes a bit of slapping them around to make them realize the error of their ways then so be it. If it comes to it we will digivolve."

He'd say as they nod and stood there waiting to fight once more. The two slowly separating and making their way around the digimon. He'd chuckle some as he shook his head. Today was a day for learning, for both of them. He'd never successfully seen a dark digivoltion used without some sacrifice to sanity and the potential harm to even their tamers.

As Ryuu removed his cloak, revealing the scars that were lingering beneath it Reikiko's initial reaction was merely a glare at how she thought he might had been underestimating the threat Kuro represented, but then the man started to tell her the tale behind those scars. Each scar seemed to embody a tale of its own, a tale full of conflict and sorrow, and yet it seemed each tale only made the man stronger, into the person he was today. If his scars were the physical ones on his body, then hers were emotional ones. They didn't make her stronger, in fact they just pulled her further into the darkness. "You don't understand... you don't understand the pain that the betrayal of those you consider friends, those who you loved so dearly brings..." Yet, as the words were said that the man was not talking to her as a tamer, but as someone who genuinely cared, and was concerned about the situation she was getting herself into, the explanation how Digimon weren't tools to be used, but friends and family made the girl think back about her bond with Kuro. Although she initially didn't care too much about him, the little raptor had always been surprisingly kind and caring toward her. Perhaps it was for that reason, when her gaze was cast toward Kuro's back as the two opponents circled around him, that Reikiko felt her free hand raise upwards slightly. "save me..." As she whispered that word tears started to roll down her cheeks. She didn't want to do this, and yet it was the only way for her to escape from the pain that was burned so deep inside her heart! The only way she could run away from those feelings of despair was to let her heart be shrouded in such deep darkness. And yet why was she hesitating? She already had sacrificed innocent Digimon, then was she truly about to give in merely because someone seemed to care about the darkness she had been forced to shoulder? It was only for a moment, but it was then that Kuro noticed something, turning toward her with a worried look. This wasn't the usual reaction he felt before doing this evolution. This sorrow, it felt so tragic and yet so warm, perhaps because deep inside him he knew this sorrow, this despair was now being felt because of her kindness toward him, her concern for the deeds she made him commit, those dark crimes... that didn't truly erase her suffering. "Aneki!" He could feel it, the same darkness that had been felt within that cave, the cave the old man said to resemble the tainted powers of an old group of tamers. Reikiko's body had clearly been shrouded in the same aura, thicker and darker than before as she cried out in desperation. "SAVE ME KURO!" There was no doubt about it, they... it were the words of that man, and the presence of his Digimon that were causing Reikiko to suffer. The Blackagumon tried to turn toward Reikiko, but that look on her face made him freeze on the spot. That tear-filled look that looked so sad, and scared like a lost child hit him so deeply that it stirred something. Hope and Despair had mixed together in the most brutal cocktail one could imagine, and in the end all he could do was roar out. "ANEKI!" It was at the same moment the roar happened that Reikiko collapsed onto her knees, the digivice rolling out of her hand as the black light had flashed so brightly it briefly looked like the darkness had consumed the area, while Kuro's body started to glow brightly. "Blackagumon ANKOKU SHINKA BLACK GREYMON!" As the new dinosaur's entree was declared the large Digimon rose to his full height and let out a bellowing roar, a Despair Roar filled with such dread and despair that Ryuu's digimon would likely find themselves temporarily stunned, and yet to make matters worse the creature's ferocity seemed to had been intensified, attempting to slam whatever Digimon of the duo had been circling behind him away into the nearby wall with his tail, before turning to glare down at the remaining one, opening his jaw to unleash a large torrent of flames, the Bitfire attack at the other digimon. His eyes narrowed into a glare at Ryuu the Black Greymon snarled in anger. "Aneki has suffered too much... If you plan to fool her with empty promises like those who came before you did, those who caused her SUFFERING... then I will make you experience the same DESPAIR!" It seemed the girl's partner, despite his dark evolution still retained his sanity, but he was clearly enraged by the sorrow his tamer was feeling. It seemed that Reikiko still had her doubts, that she still secretly cried out for someone to save her, but was there even anyone able to reach that far into the darkness?

As the digimon gave into it's rage and swung at the two twins. Veemon would go flying into the wall, as Guilmon would look to the beast whom was now shooting flames at it; covering it's head as their tamer simply began to walk forth. The two raising up, hurt some but still more then capable of continuing he'd glance over to the digimon and simply speak to his own,

"Hold him back while I check on her..."

He'd say as his digimon nodded and the two smaller ones had run in an x formation moving left then right zig zagging as the male made his way closer to the female had he turned his eyes off of the smaller digimon whom used Pyrosphere and Vee Headbutt upon it he might be hit with weaker but smaller moves. It was then he'd approach the girl not many feet from her before kneeling down.

"Save you from what...tell me. I am not here to harm you nor do harm..."

He'd say as he tried to calm the girl as his digimon did as they were told and would hold him back, hues shifting back to what might be an attack made on him  or perhaps an angry digimon raging further.

"We need to calm him down, it won't help with him like this."

He'd shout as Guilmon ran in for a 1Rock Breaker0 and Veemon ran along his side.

"Knock'em out, or weaken him some otherwise he'll take this place down with him. DIGI ARMOR ENERGIZE!""

Nodding they'd agree as they glrew bright with a bright light as guilmon as he was in close armor digivolved into a Tyranomon X; his metal biotic noticable as the strike that was a Rock Breaker became a 1Metal Nail Slash0 as it struck upward at him like an uppercut from an equally bulky dinosaur like an upper cut.

Yet Veemon himself had also armor digivolved into Flardramon X and came charging in with a Fire Rocket; A shield of flames surrounds itself in an aura of fire for two turns. As it then shoots towards its opponent like a rocket striking hard. Hoping to help pin and restrain the giant dino back against the wall.

As soon as that shot was made Tyranomon would have used it's  Electic bite attack. Using his cybernetically enhanced jaw. It would have coated it in electricity as bites into the dark digimon with it's powerful jaw. Perhaps even stunning it. It was with this combo the two hoped he'd stay down and relax. Perhaps they'd provided enough time for Ryuu to have held the tiny girl in his arms and try to sooth her.

"Shhhhh...it's okay, I'm here. I won't let anything happen. You can count on me. So long as I still breath, not a single hair on this head will ever become hurt again. I promise you this on my word as a soldier and as the word of a senpai, you may even call me oniisan..."

he'd say as his digimon tried to hold back hers and allow him to comfort her. His hands trying to comfort her would run through her hair as he pulled her head back and kissed it,

"I don't know what friends hurt you in the past but I'm not like them..."

He'd say hoping to get through to her, his hands still rubbing her back some as the giant shielded her. The warmth of his body only adding to the soothing nature of his kindness, although he was scary to most she'd soon realize he could be a gentle giant and a worthy friend.

It seemed that Ryuu's attempt to reach Reikiko had been successful, for even as Kuro tried to intercept him, the sudden armor-empowered evolution of his opponents forced the dinosaur into the defensive. While the flame rocket had succeeded in pushing him toward the wall, the violent swing of his horned head would have likely forced the Flardramon into abandoning the attack or getting engorged upon his horns! Still, the tag-style combination of the Tyranomon was seemingly enough to force him into the wall, the bite seemingly paralyzing him for a moment. The kind words spoken by Ryuu seemed to surprise her, causing the girl to shake her head violently. Although she had been wronged, her answer had been to respond in kin, and in the end she committed those twisted deeds for the sake of escaping from the pain they had inflicted upon her. "Why... I hurt so many already... so many innocent Digimon were forced to suffer because of me. Why would you show such kindness to someone like me?" Although her voice was soft, her tone clearly was filled with grief and regret, the tears that rolled down her cheeks, and the dark sensations that clouded her mind seemed to reach their peak. Or at least they would have, if not for the fact that in an attempt to protect her from this corrupting influence Kuro's body became imbued with that sickening aura, pushing the Tyranomon of him while inhaling deeply. "DARK MEGAFLAME!" The black flames were unleashed in a fiery detonation, threatening to not only hit the Tyranomon but also the area around them, the flames erupting along the floor as the dinosaur was clearly starting to enter a rampage of some sorts. Reikiko clearly felt this, looking up from over Ryuu's shoulder, her eyes widening at the destruction that was being wrecked, the rampaging dinosaur roaring amidst the flames, pained cries from Kuro's heart. "Kuro! please stop this!" The large dinosaur turned toward her, his large footsteps as he seemed to ignore his enemies to walk over to Reikiko, looking down at the girl as her glowing digivice started to have its light become subdued, and slowly but certainly one could see that the dinosaur was shrinking back into the little raptor-like shape. "Aneki..." The Blackagumon looked sorrowfully at her as the girl lowered her head, resting it against Ryuu's shoulder. "We lost this fight Kuro... I can't do it... I can't ignore the cries of our hearts..." Yes, she might had not been a tamer like Ryuu was, one who walked in the light but perhaps there was another way? In the end she couldn't ignore the pain she felt from both of them when they were relying so strongly on the sacrifices of others, the guilt and regret eating at them as an unhealthy stimulant. The girl took a deep breath as she gently lifted her hands, trying to break her embrace from Ryuu, and just as quickly as she had tried to break free from him, did the Blackagumon leap into her lap, trying to embrace her, a gesture that made the girl rest her head lightly on top of his snout. "Several months ago I was involved in an accident..." She raised a hand, her fingerts brushing along her hair to show the golden iris that was partly concealed beneath it. "I used to joke that this is a magical eye, but the truth is that I'm partly blind. In the real world I can't see a thing with this eye... And because of my injury my school's team lost a really important competition." She lowered her gaze sideways, taking a deep breath as she continued. "I became ridiculed, considered a traitor by everyone at my school and finally it became too much for me to bear and I refused to go to school. I was so hurt by the betrayal and abandonment of everyone I once loved and cared for that I grown to distrust the existence of friendship, I learned first-hand that reality isn't that sweet in the idea that people are entirely selfless in nature, so when those 'heroes' in the digital world started to preach at me about their virtues, and yet possessed such strength I grown angry..." She gently wrapped her arms around her partner, hugging him close against her as she whispered softly. "I'm not like you... I'm what they seemingly call a Cursed Tamer, or rather a Dark Tamer I guess. I'm only able to make Kuro draw out his true power by letting us be fueled by our negative emotions. I guess it's this unusual condition that explains why Kuro has such a peculiar evolution. Where most would lose their sanity, Kuro merely becomes fueled by the emotions that stirred his transformation." She finally looked up at Ryuu, a gentle yet sorrowful smile upon her lips as she explained to the man. "I'm sorry Oniichan, but even if I try to walk in the light, this darkness is like a shadow of mine, to ignore it is one thing, but to banish it is the same as killing a part of what I am. I simply can't kill this darkness, lest I'd lose the means to become strong... To ensure I'd never feel this type of suffering again." Her hand scooped up her black digivice as she whispered softly. "Whether your words ring true will remain to be seen, but let's say I felt a little bit of hope through them, something I thought I had long lost the ability to feel. At the very least I'll give you my word that neither me or Kuro will assimilate anymore Digimon." Yes, if they were to become stronger it would be through their own power... And yet, for the first time since a long time she could feel that she was smiling genuinely, even if there were still hints of sorrow in her eyes. At least it seemed like Kuro had calmed down alongside her, and for a moment one might had mistaken her as just an ordinary girl having an affectionate moment with her digimon.

Chasing a Predator

As he tried to continue  and confort her' his digimon did their best to hold him back, Flamdramon stopping his follow up attack to avoid the incoming horns; despite his metal plated body being able to take it he saw the pain in the other's eyes and felt that this wasn't helping. Yet allowing Tyranomon to bite him and paralyze him for a moment the two would step back and sigh.

As she asked why and he continue to run his fingers through her hair massaging her scalp and rubbing her back to sooth her he'd chuckle some.

"Because even in the darkest of hearts shimmers a bright light refusing to be extinguished that light can grow stronger and over come the darkness if given a chance. I see that light in you, it's brighter then even mine perhaps and as such I want it to come out, to show the world it's existence. So even if I have to travel to the deepest parts of your heart to reach it, to help it come to fruition."

He'd say still running his finger through her hair before kissing her fore head.

"Then I will do just that...there are no such things as naturally dark or evil beings. Just poor lost or misguided souls and I promised my old sensei before he died that I would continue his work and bring others to the light just as he did me. I was a wild kid, irresponsible thought similar to you, so I know the pain of being alone, of wanting to get stronger at any cost. However, thankfully someone got to me before I hurt Duke and Vee. I am hoping I can do the same. I can't promise I always be around, but what I can promise is to always be there when you need me. After all I am your Oniichan now"

He'd say with a smile lifting her chin to gaze into his eyes before hugging her tighter. It was then that her digimon's blaze was fired at  Tyranomn who stood before them; excess flames ready to burn them both had he not turned his back to take the hit and protect them;Flamedramon encasing them two. A giant group hug effectively taking place; causing a warm and tender feeling to set in as the flames slowly stopped and that warm feeling passed.

Tyranomon injured some would cry out as she spoke out commanding him to stop; as he reverted so did his own digimon. Guilmon rubbing his back and veemon standing on the opposite side as she spoke and the digimon grew closer. As she spoke about losing the fight they'd laugh a bit,

"You didn't lose the fight no one got knocked out, it was a draw. Besides you learned a lesson and made some new friends...that makes you a winner in my book."

Guilmon would wrap it's arm over Agumon laughing as did Veemon.

"Your pretty strong little man, made my back hurt some put up a good fight too. "

Veemon would nodd and continue

"Yea Otouto-san; meaning little brother. Your quite impressive, next time we fight though it should be for fun and not out of anger. I bet you fight better with a clearer mind."

Nodding Guilmon continued

"Yea but you should hang with us more often, us Dino Digi need to stick together, besides we need to teach you a few tricks Otouto-san."

As they laughed and chatted among themselves Ryuu would lean back giving her space as she talked and listen intently. It was then they'd let go as her partner moved in to hug her and he'd smile. As she tried to explain more he'd shake his head chuckling as he leaned in to wipe her tears some and softly spoke.

"I do not ask you to banish the darkness, for I can't even banish my own darkness. I ask you to not let it consume you but acknowledge it as only a part of you, only a part of you true strength. Like Yin an Yang. One can not exist without the other, but when in perfect sync a harmony can be reached and it's far greater then either one alone. I merely ask you train in the light if you must walk the pather of a shadow warrior."

He'd say Caressing her cheek some and patting Agumon's head.

"This was a good fight, I must say. But perhaps next time we take a place less constricting so we can freely battle."

He'd say as his digimon an he wrapped their arms around the two hugging them in a group embrace letting them now they weren't alone they had friends. He was their big brother and they were their little siblings. Releasing and backing up he'd watch her scoop her digivice, had his words gotten through to her he'd smile.

"Good, at least you'll consider it Besides if you ever need me you can reach me on my device. Connecting them at the tip he'd sync his information to her his name appearing on it then disappearing. Just establish connection and I will receive any messages you send."

Putting his device away as his digimon's stomach growled he's smile. Looking at them then to her,

"Could I interest you in perhaps joining us for lunch, they all fought a tough battle an I thin they deserve a treat. Maybe Digi Icecream after?"

He'd ask offering her his hand with a warm smile before throwing his cape over his shoulder awaiting to walk out with them into town to grab something to eat, if not exchanging a final hug and saying his good byes.

With the fighting seemingly having ended Kuro couldn't help but let out a hearty chuckle as the Guilmon wrapped an arm around his shoulder. Perhaps it was his fondness for battles, and respect for strength that had made him more tolerant toward the sudden friendliness of his opponent, yet when the Veemon suddenly started to use the same type of terms their humans were using the Blackagumon was quick to response to the matter. "Ooy ooy, I'm not a little brother! Besides the only one who deserves that type of reverence from me is Aneki! But yeah, that was a pretty badass fight!" Yet despite all that happened Reikiko couldn't help but smile briefly, as if a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders. Even Kuro seemed a bit more easygoing, and while she agreed with the thought that next time they had a little sparring match they should have fought in a more open area, especially with her evolved partner being able to cause such destruction. Nevertheless, it was only shortly afterwards that Ryuu suggested for them to go and eat something, an idea that while tempting made the girl shake her head lightly, explaining in a gentle tone. "I'm afraid I'll have to decline that invitation Ryuu-nii, there are some things I need to think about, and some matters I need to look into. However, I'll make certain to contact you soon for that ice-cream." Despite the mild embarrassment she felt from the embrace she waited for him to release her, and after waving them goodbye, and making sure he was out of sight she lowered her gaze to her hand, the ominous mark still resting on the back of her hand. "Aneki, are you sure it's alright?" Kuro did have a point, in order for her to walk the balance between light and darkness she needed to become stronger, but also uncover the truth and secrets of both sides. People like Ryuu and Adam might had represented the light... but what about the darkness? "I believe we'll need to look into this Kuro... To figure out what this mark meant, and why that man called us a Dark Tamer. What is it that makes us so different from everyone else?" Questions she had to find out at all cost, and that meant finding something, or someone related to the past of the Digital World, someone who knew about this darkness, about those powers that slumbered in the shadows. But would she discover those things? Only time would tell...

As they say their good byes as she declined their off he would leave her to her thinking. His digimon happily leaving along side him he'd grin wide some; he hoped his words reached her some, yet as it seemed they did have some sort of effect as he turned back to look at the two of them; perhaps a bit closer if not a faint light seemed to shine from them. That light perhaps that was deep down inside grew a bit stronger perhaps trying to fight against the darkness as to not become consumed.

"Alright boys time to get our grub on."

He'd say as they left the area heading into town to grab the food they deserved after a good fight. Guilmon pleased, looked over to his shoulder wound and smirked. Finally an opponent worth having. As Veemon looked back then held onto Ryuu's hand pointing out the marking on his hand.

"We need to find out what that is about, maybe one of those inside TeraByte city know."

He'd say as they seemed to pause only to nod and agree.

"Yes right after we grab food we can look into it."

He'd say before fadding off into the crowd with his family.

Notes

Declining they leave on their own to eat.
The Mystery of the mark is still strong and brings them to seek information on it.
Story is now over; unless a second meeting inside the city at a mutual digimon is preferred to try and discover about the mark.
