It had only been a hour since she left behind Adam and his partners, and yet for most the silence that lingered in the air would have been simply too much for someone else to endure. However, not a word was spoken between Reikiko and her digimon partner, perhaps because both of them had exactly the same thoughts haunting their mind, and no words were needed to be wasted between them. Fortunately the forest had provided them a sanctuary of solitude, not a single soul being encountered by the two of them as they made their way along the path they had chosen. It was only after they had seemingly reached an obstacle in the form of a giant tree that the two of them stopped at the base of the ancient denizen of the forest, and Reikiko allowed her frustrations to emerge to the surface. "DAMD IT!" A shout of annoyance came from her as she raised her hand, balding it up into a fist that she lightly slammed into the base of the tree. The words were repeated several times, each one accompanied by an angry shout. Why! Why did that boy possess such power?! Although Adam's immense display of power might had been an attempt for him to save her, and show him the existence of heroism and the hope it represented, it actually did the opposite for her! If a naive boy could obtain such power, a power that could easily crush such dangerous predators, then what could that possibly mean for her? Was she weaker than Adam? "Heroism my ass! Where were your heroes when I got injured? Where was kindness and hope when everyone started to ridicule and despise me because my injury didn't allow me to participate in the tournament? It's all lies and deceit!" Her partner looked up at her with a sympathetic look in his eyes, and for a moment he wished he was stronger. If he had been strong enough he could have destroyed those who made Reikiko feel like this. If there was one thing he hated then it was watching her cry. And she certainly was crying. He could see it clearly, the tears that rolled along her cheeks as she felt the strength in her legs fade away, making her collapse onto her knees while she sobbed softly. "They will never understand... They will never understand the truth unless they know despair..." The Blackagumon nodded his head lightly, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a thought rising up within the back of his head. If stuff like hope, kindness and the courage of selfless heroism was hurting Reikiko so much then... "Let's become strong Aneki... Strong enough to destroy all those things!" Strong enough to destroy what exactly? Although her gaze turned toward Kuro, the confusion clearly noticeable in her eyes the girl couldn't help but find herself unable to provide a proper answer to the Blackagumon's comment. "I don't want to see you cry Aneki, so I'll become strong enough to destroy the things that make you cry! I'll destroy kindness, I'll banish hope and will make courage falter in the face of overwhelming despair!" The words sounded ominous, but to Reikiko they also sounded kind of nice, perhaps sweet even. But it was at that time the sound of clapping came, causing both to look toward the source in confusion as a tall figure, shrouded in a cloak approached the two of them. "Such admirable words, yet from the look of it neither of you are capable of performing such a task yet. In the end the things you two seek to vanquish are much stronger and brighter than the two of you are... At least right now, am I correct: Tamer of hope? Actually no... that name wouldn't suffice for you. For now I'll call you Reikiko..." Who... was this stranger?

It seemed her partner shared her distrust toward the stranger, for he quickly darted between herself and the cloaked figure, his small arms spread in a showing of defiance. No suspicious guys were going to get near his Aneki, not on his watch! "Stay back, else I might burn you to cinders!" However, Kuro's threat merely caused the cloaked figure to chuckle in amusement, shaking his head lightly in return. "I mean you no harm, in fact I'm here to lend you my assistance." She didn't like the sound of that at all, she already made it clear moments ago she didn't believe in selfless attitude, what meant that this guy had some form of plan, or better said the cloaked figure certainly wanted something in return. Perhaps it was for that reason she took a step forwards, glaring at the stranger while asking him in a rather demanding tone. "What is your angle?" The cloaked figure had gone silent, slowly raising their sleeved arms upwards and after a long moment pulled the hood backwards. An elderly man was looking at her with eyes the color of the deepest shadows of the night, and although he clearly looked like a weathered oldtimer, there was no doubt there was a curious youthfulness in that spark of excitement in his eyes. "I merely wish to see things the way they were meant to be. It's for that reason I'm willing to enlighten you on the secret to obtain the power you seek." The power she sought? Reikiko's gaze lowered toward Kuro, the raptor returning her glance with a look of interest in his eyes. It seemed he was rather interested in what she was thinking, and after a moment she nodded her head at him, turning back to the old man. "Fine, then tell us what we need to know." The elderly man smiled briefly at her before he approached the duo, yet at Kuro's growl he was rather quick to step backwards. "That device in your belt pouch, how about you take a closer look at it?" At the man's insistence Reikiko lowered a hand back into the belt pouch, withdrawing the small device and resting it in the palm of her hand. It felt cold to the touch, a obsidian black color in design with purple tints at some points. "Did you call this a Digivice Kuro?" Kuro nodded his head lightly in response, yet his eyes widened as she shown the black object, making the old man laugh softly. "Don't act so surprised, it's only natural that the two of you would be blessed by a Dark digivice! However, it will serve its use in the days to come. For now listen carefully to the secret I'm about to reveal. Within this area there is a cavern, several powerful Digimon dwell within it. They will likely prove to be a challenge to you, but if you were to best them... then Reikiko can use the Dark Digivice to devour their essence, empowering you to reach closer to your true power." Devouring the fallen? She wasn't all that sure she liked the thought of that! But at this rate... at this rate she would never become strong enough! "Fine, I do it for Aneki! Let us find this cavern..." Kuro's determination seemed to surprise Reikiko, who gave her partner a worried look, but after a moment she simply shook her head, sighing softly while declaring in an amused tone. "Lead the way Kuro, I'm sure you know your way around here better than I do."

Fortunately for Reikiko the cavern she was looking for didn't seem to be that far from the ancient tree, in fact less than a quarter of an hour had passed when she finally stood before the large gap that seemingly was build into a little cliff that led to a higher elevation, perhaps an underground nest or lair? Although she was curious she had little time to ponder about the matter, for soon her partner started to walk into the cavern. No regrets and no hesitation, right? As she idly asked herself that question Reikiko chased after the Blackagumon, soon finding themselves within the cavern's interior. It didn't seem to be anything particularly special, just a long tunnel that led all the way to a spacious chamber. It was there, within this underground chamber that a large statue stood, a peculiar symbol engraved upon it, but she ignored it, her eyes instead cast upon the little creature at the base of the statue. Is this really... fine? As she felt her doubts slowly surface the innocent little creature, seemingly a Culumon approached her and the Blackagumon, an innocent smile upon her face. "Are you the ones who called me here? I was told someone wanted to become my friend, I'd love to have a new friend!" The sweet voice of the Culumon felt like a knife jabbing into her heart, and yet the memories of her last encounter with friendship plagued her thoughts. It seemed that Kuro had sensed her sorrow, for he shook his head lightly at the Culumon's question, replying in a rather curt tone. "Something like that, but we aren't looking for a friend." Kuro's voice was calm and cold, surprisingly so compared to the usual tone he had, and yet the Culumon merely seemed curious, hopping a bit closer while she asked in that same sweet tone from earlier. "Then are you lost, or do you need any help?" The Calumon had finally stopped only a few steps away from him when Kuro finally replied in a almost feral shout. "I'll need your help: in becoming a sacrifice for Aneki's happiness!" A claw sliced through the air, making the Culumon let out a cry of surprise as she tried to jump backwards, but by then the claw had already sliced over her cheek, making a long gash appear over it as tears rolled down her cheeks. "W-Wait I-I don't want to fight!" Yet the words reached deaf ears as Reikiko turned her gaze away from the scene. It was too painful to see such an adorable creature being sacrificed just for what... for what sake was she even allowing Kuro to kill it? To make everyone understand... That's right... As she slowly turned her gaze onto the battle she was just in time to see Kuro open his mouth, unleashing a torrent of fiery projectiles at the enemies. Several of them were avoided by the poor Culumon who tried to jump out of their range, but it was at that point the Blackagumon rushed it, several swift jabs of his claws being made, each slash tearing at the body of the poor Digimon before he roared in anger. "DARK SPITFIRE!" And it was at that moment, when the black flames consumed the Culumon that she knew the reason why this was happening. To make everyone realize there are no heroes, neither in reality or the digital world... and only after such despair truly chilled them to the bone will they understand my suffering. The loneliness and cold that such despair brings!

As the flames started to subdue the poor Culumon was found to be laying on her stomach, her body twitching slightly while tears rolled down her eyes. "It hurts, h-help me." The Culumon looked pleadingly at Reikiko as she approached the Culumon, and yet within those mismatched eyes only a icy coldness remained. She didn't smile, nor did she cry, there was only an eerie emptiness inside them, as if the darkness had consumed her. She had raised her digivice toward the dying creature, the sight of it making the Culumon's eyes widen in a look of disbelief. "N-No please, I don't want to..." That look in the Culumon's eyes was one she was so familiar with, that look of despair as Kuro slowly stepped closer toward her, and while a black light started to shine from her digivice, the light illuminating the Culumon Kuro struck, the sound of desperate screams coming from inside the cavern. In the meanwhile near the entrance an Agumon was rushing in a panic toward the cavern, unaware of the cloaked figure that was observing him from afar. "Good, everything is going like planned..." It was right around the time Agumon had arrived, a place he was supposed to meet his new friend Culumon that he saw the digitized data of his friend being devoured by the peculiar device a human was holding. No way... did they... kill his friend?! Tears rolled down the Agumon's eyes as he shouted in anger. "Why! Why did you hurt that poor Digimon?!" Reikiko slowly lowered the digivice to her side, feeling the data of the Culumon pulsing inside, slowly fueling her partner with its power. At her silence the Agumon tried to provoke a response once more. "She only wanted to have a friend! WHY! Why did you kill Culumon?!" Yet after a moment Reikiko finally turned toward the Agumon, her eyes narrowed slightly into a glare, something in her eyes seemingly different, another spark of black electricity coming from her digivice. "Kill him." Kuro didn't need to be told twice, darting straight toward his opponent as the two clashed claws against one another. It clearly was a heated battle, one claw slashing against the other, and after a leap backwards they each launched a fireball at one another, the two fiery projectiles detonation in the middle of the room. "Monsters! I'll make you pay for Culumon's death!" Yet all Reikiko did was nod at her Digimon, a silent order being conveyed because Kuro opened his maw, another fireball being launched, yet as the Agumon prepared another retaliation in the form of his own fireball the Blackagumon darted forwards, right into the detonated explosion as he emerged at the other side, a claw slicing through the air! The attack hit the Agumon rather harshly, making him stagger backwards, soon recovering from the attack to deliver a slash of his own. It was for several moments this back and forth exchange lasted, when finally a momentary opening in the Agumon's defenses made Kuro lunge forwards, his maw opening to chomp onto the Agumon's throat and tear violently into it! The Agumon cried in agony, but this time Reikiko didn't look away, in the end that painful feeling she felt earlier had been suppressed by the darker feelings within her heart, feelings strong enough to make her forget about the regret she felt moments ago. No, with the Agumon squirming for his survival it was clear that Kuro was going to win this battle... but what was the price for this predator hunt of theirs? What did they earn... and what did they lose?

As the battle was decided Reikiko slowly approached the body of the Agumon as it was starting to turn into data. Yet, as she raised her Digivice and started to allow the data to become absorbed by it, the girl couldn't help but notice the tears that rolled down her cheeks. "Aneki..." Kuro's worried tone made her look sideways at the black raptor, his concern for her heartwarming in its own way. Yet it was his question that followed that made her think for a bit. "Does it hurt Aneki? Does being a bad guy hurt?" It was odd, but despite the fact she was crying there was no pain within her heart, in fact her heart felt surprisingly cold, empty even. And yet it was as if her body had another opinion on the matter. "It doesn't... hurt." Yet what she had done was undeniably evil, she had sacrificed two innocent Digimon for the sake of her own selfish desires. Perhaps it was the emotional burden that was placed upon her heart that had made her cry, the knowledge she had stained her hands with such wicked deeds. Finally a loud cry came from her as she collapsed onto her knees, her sobs turning into sorrowful wails. She had never wanted it to be like this. She never wanted to be injured and betrayed by her friends. She never desired to know the pain of abandonment. She never wanted to know the feeling of despair that accompanied such loneliness. Although Kuro looked at her with a sorrowful look in his eyes, raising one of his paws to rest on her shoulder the words that followed, the genuine kindness in them only stung her deeper, for she was walking such a dark path alongside such a kind partner. "Don't worry Aneki, no matter what happens I'll always be at your side. No matter who we face, or what we do." A short silence happened before she felt the digivice in her hand vibrate strongly, causing her eyes to turn toward it. A black light shone from within the device, and it was all of a sudden that she saw the elderly man from before standing beside them! "It's happening... Finally it's happening." The girl was about to ask what he meant, but her words were suddenly silenced by the feeling of a powerful gust of wind blowing from the earlier statue, causing her to look at it with a look of awe at what was happening. "That stone is a memento of the distant past Reikiko. It's meant to herald the arrival of someone. That symbol on the stone is meant to represent Hope, when it glows the brightest it shows a Tamer that represents this virtue has arrived before it." And indeed, for a moment a bright light came from the stone, but soon it became tainted, the glowing light turn into a darker shade, sparks of black electricity coming from the statue as the light steadily darkened and the symbol started to change to something else. "And that is the symbol of a Yami no Teimā, a Tamer of Darkness! Yes, you have finally stirred the revival of the Dark Tamers Reikiko... The Tamer of Despair!" The man laughed heartily as Reikiko felt a heavy feeling within her chest... what in the world did she do?!

The revelation of the man only caused an angry glare from Reikiko as she rose back onto her feet. Although she wasn't trying to show it, her heart truly was torn between grief and downright anger at the man's gleeful attitude. She was far from happy about the situation she was in, and with her hand holding tightly onto the digivice she decided that for now she didn't want to hear a thing about the matters the man was talking about. Dark Tamers, despair, darkness and evil... despite all those words plaguing her thoughts Reikiko shook her head violently, silently attempting to push out the gloomy thoughts as she left the cavern, making the elderly man smile at her back, a butler-like bow being made. "We'll meet again in due time..." but by then Reikiko had already left, the blackagumon marching beside her. Not a word was spoken by the duo, yet it was the sound of a explosion in the distance that made Reikiko turn toward her partner. That explosion most certainly was a sign of something dangerous happening, and for some reason she felt a strange urge to figure out what it was. "Kuro, how do you feel?" The Blackagumon looked at her, before lowering his gaze toward his paws. He could feel the rising strength of the essences they had stolen, the data of the consumed Digimon coursing through his body. There was no doubt that just a little push, a little trigger would be all they'd need to get to the point where they could reach for their true power! "I'm feeling fine Aneki, in fact great even. Want to investigate that explosion?" Nodding her head lightly in response to his question the duo soon started to run into the direction of the explosion, even from such a distance the giant monster formed from bones becoming visible to them! --- the end~
