Ruli and Hanuel were having a day to get to know each other better.Especially since the two of them rarely seen each other alone. Having someone tag along or the whole group being present, either can truly say they've alone with just the two of them. The rest of Team Lirurun were investigating a case about store employees becoming mannequins. One being a close friend to a digimon that Jellymon knew well. Mei took Hanuel place, claiming that they needed time away from digimon related incidents. Too many cases were causing dark circles under their eyes to mimic ones of a panda. Ruli already assigned off partols today. Over all it was a win win.

They began to play a game of poker. Each hand would reveal something about themselves before getting a new card. Angoramon and Bokomon were discussing various books which the two had come to favor in the human world. Pumpmon shared his new candy with Bakumon to see if the tapir digimon liked it. Everyone seemed to have a peaceful time when a soft grey portal opened and a familiar figure fell out.

Solisamon looked battered with bruises covering her body like SOMETHING or SOMEONE had really trashed her. Angoramon managing to catch the youngest member of their team before she collapsed on the ground. Shivering every few seconds in his arms.

The two tamers gasped at the young digimon condition. Their hearts practically bleed out upon getting a closer examination of the small oni injuries. Each injury had been carried out by emotions driven at high levels of hatred. Tears ran down her pink cheeks of the unconscious child. Her horns even suffered a few cracks on them.

WHO?! WHO DARES HURT SOLISAMON LIKE THIS?! HIRO WILL LET GULUSGAMMAMON GO MEGA ONCE THEY INFORM THEM! NO ONE HURTS THEIR PRECIOUS LITTLE SISTER!!!

Hanuel got their phone ready to get in contact with their group's "Trouble Magnet" when Solisamon stopped them. Her tail blocking the screen, looking at the detective face with a terrified expression.

"H-Help....Hiro..." Her small voice pleaded. Her teal eyes motion to the still activate portal.

"HIRO IS IN DANGER?!!" That caused everyone's worry to spike immensely. Oh why must their TM always attract danger to himself.

Mei! Kiyoshiro! You were responsible for him today! How did you two let him get in danger?! This is the fourth time this week!!

Hanuel stare at the portal as if something was calling out to them. A silhouette of someone. Somehow it was as if he knew them yet didn't at the same time.

The group rushed into the soft grey portal to see what perils Hiro landed himself in this time. Angoramon holding Solisamon protectively since the little one could not move given the state she was currently in. Pumpmon extremely worried about his "Candy Buddy", he never seen her in such pain before. Dried tear marks on her stained cheeks only gueled the anger flames burning inside of him.

HOW DARE THEY PUT HER THROUGH SUCH PAIN?! WHEN HE FINDS OUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS....HE WILL CRAVE THEIR FACES INTO THE MOST PAIN FILLED JACK O LATERNS!!! NO ONE HURTS ANY OF HIS FRIENDS!! HE'LL TEACH THEM THE MEANING OF FEAR!!

They soon arrived in the verse which Solisamon came from. Pollution lingered in the air that nearly caused them to gag in absolute disgust. A think smoke completely covered the sky where even the sunlight couldn't shine through. If the air was this bad, just imagine the residents of this verse.

Hanuel prepared their taser at a moment notice to be ready if trouble strikes.

They were in one of the shadiest alley way where Chuumons seemed to be msking deals for the rarest forms of cheddar. There were several shattered shards of bottles around every corner.  Toxic fumes exiting the vents from behind the buildings. Dumpsters piled to the top with garbage and other things that were considered illegal. Graffiti coated each wall no matter where they looked, obviously gangs marking their terrorities. Data residue were also staining the walls where turf wars had taken place. Everywhere the group looked is where a crime was in place or had already happened

"Disgusting...." Ruli covered her nose to the foal smells around her. Making her wonder about this place's sanitation requirements.

"This place seems to be a paradise for crime. I think this is the "Crime Verse" that Solisamon mentioned yesterday. Hiro may have went with her instead of  going to the case" Hanuel recalled Solisamon telling them of the two verses she was planning to visit yesterday. One given the name "Crime Verse".

They were geniunely shocked that Centuriomon allowed Solisamon to go to such a verse. Did he believe that she could have honestly handled it alone?! Though maybe he had a reason or Milady did. Either way, Solisamon came for a reason.

What it was? Now that happened to be the million dollar question of the day.

"Well Well Well. Lookie what we got here. Some newbies on DEVILS Turf" From whatever shadows they came out of. The group became surrounded by Boogeymons.

One being relatively shorter than the rest. Seeing to wear some sort of Devil's mask with a crimson red hoodie over it. The black iron horns piercing through. Unlike the others, the smaller one had a bat covered in barred wire spray pained red to mimick red.

"Is that a kid?" Ruli asked Hanuel. Dodging a Boogeymon before Angoramon used "Double Lariat" to sent him flying.

"This world....how long can it go-" Before given the chance to finish. Hanuel got attacked by the masked kid hard from behind.

They got a look at the eyes behind the mask. It made them pray that they were delusional from that painful impact. Those eyes....the eyes they recognize from anywhere...

They belong to Hiro.

WHAT WAS A KID VERSION OF HIM DOING ASSOCIATING WITH A GANG?! NO WONDER SOLISAMON WANTED THEIR HELP TO SAVE HIM!

The others were struggling to combat the Boogeymons since no matter how many they stopped or deleted. More took the place of those who had fallen. Not to mention the bat wielding child that they were avoiding a fight with.

Who in their right mind would fight a child?

"Basalt Lasamair!" A black flame shot in between the group and the gang. Where it originated from would be anyone's guess.

"Looks like they are here" The boy in the devil mask spoke. Looking in front of the group they were attacking. "X-Inforcers"

"Geez, you mons really are getting lower by the day huh? Picking on a few kids passing by? Your boss is really starting to anger me" A new voice caught everyone attention. The voice causing the gang to start sweating nervously.

"Tch! Scum like them really tick me off! How about we show them why this area is OUR now" A deep yet angry voice seemed close to the first one.

"Let's do this!" A knife then was throw and impaled the Boogeymon to the left of the kid wearing the devil mask.

Six of them were beaten to deletion by an invisible force. Deep puncture wounds could be seen in their necks before they became neon blue bits of data.

Three of the Boogeymons charged at the heroes with their pitch forks aimed at them. Though their weapons  glitched before transforming into a cluster of knives that deleted the red devils instantly. Chuckling could be heard beside Pumpmon who was lost at what was happening around them.

The devil mask kid escaped. knowing full well that he did not stand a chance against them. He looked back once before bolting off in the deep fog outside the alley.

"Wait...! Darn he got away again...." The voice sighed. The last Boogeymon deleted till none were left.

"WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!"  Bakumon looked around in disbelief.  Were they just helped by ghost?!

Ruli helped Hanuel up. Hanuel felt their pain flare up from where the bat made contact with their back. They taken many a hit before but that bat seemed to have an additional force to it.

Suddenly all turned to black when a sting could be felt in their neck. Blurred images appeared out of thin air just before everything went dark.

Were they friends or foes? Worse part would be that they were in these two hands.

The humming fluorescent lights managed to wake up Hanuel out of whatever drug the two had injected them with. Their vision still blurred as they could not focus on any on any object in front of them. Bounded by thick ropes as theor limbs couldn't move an inch. Ruli and the others being with them was a bit of comfort but not very much.

"Hey there. Seems like you have a stronger resistant to knock out serum.  Seems like the DEVILS are training their new recruits well" A blurred image walked close to them. Focus starting to return to them.

Approaching them was a young Japanese girl who was probably fifteen years old by the looks of it. Her eyes were a brown color similar to the color of freshly made chocolate. Her hair was at a medium length yet it was dyed a shade of dark purple. A ponytail on the right side of her head. Her outfit consisted of a long shelved black shirt covered by an electric purple jacket that had the logo "X-Inforcers" on the back. A pair of dragon eyes in the X along with a black flame in the background.  She wore ripped navy blue jeans that were stained by oil or dirt smugs. Her footwear looked to be a pait of combat boots with double tied laces. At her sides were two black steel combat knives that had purple grip guards with ruby stones in the centers.  The last item of her outfit confused Hanuel a bit. A pair of red and blue goggles rested firmly at the top of her head.

"Who...who are you? Their voice still weak from whatever serum course in their system.

"Legacy Susi" An honest answer. For now at least.

Ruli could be heard stirring. The other soon awoke with headaches. Seems like the serum wear off. Though a head count make it aware that Pump and Solisamon were missing. Hanuel worried spiked more.

NO! NO! PLEASE LEAVE PUMP ALONE! HIS PARTNER ALREADY WHEN THROUGH SO MUCH ALREADY!

"Your digimon is fine. Just being questioned by my partner" Legacy reassured. Revealing Solisamon in her arms.

"IF YOU SO MUCH AS HURT HIM I SWEAR I'LL-" A knife manifested out of glitches to stop Hanuel mid-setence.

"See that is why I choose the pumpkin to be questioned. You seem quick to anger" Legacy waved her finger in a circular motion to dispel the knife at the detective throat.

"Why not question me? Anger wouldn't effect my anwers if my friends were in danger" Given what they just experience. This Legacy girl was not to be messed with.

"You are the type that does not trust new faces so easily. There is no guarantee that you be comoletely honest with me" DARN! She is good.

"Pump could be the same. He would never tell you anything" Pumpmon may be childish though he is the most loyal friend Hanuel could ask for.

"Oh my partner has ways of getting truth out of mons" Legacy smirk sent a slight shiver down the detective story.

Pump....please be okay....

Pumpmon was tied to a slightly rusted metal chair in a room separate from the others. The light above him seem to flicker while struggling to stay alive. Storage boxes cloaked with a light layer of dust were the only things reveal in the dim source of light.

"Seems like the DEVILS are desperate for new members if they are recruiting Halloween fanatics. Then again you seemed the type to easily be manipluated" The voice mocked from the shadows.

Pumpmon struggled to break free but the ropes were tied too tight. All he could do was listen from wherever the voice came from.

"Struggling is pointless since these ropes have been modified to act like boa constrictors. More you struggle the tighter they get. Though I'll cut you loose as soon as you do one thing" The sounds of footsteps could be heard coming stand in front of him.

"W-What?" Pumpmon swallow the nervous lumo in his throat. Knowing how Kiyo feels all the time now.

Out of the shadows a black dragon digimon emerged from the cloak of darkness. He had purple eyes with six gemstones under them, three on each side. On his head were a set of crisp white horns that curved a bit at the end. His underbelly was covered in some sort of armor like an insect carapace. As for his tail....it was that of a scorpion. Longer than an average tail but not too long either.

"Information about why you all are here. DEVILS really must be trying to take us out if they use newbies as undercover spies" This was the third time they tried too. When will those numbskulls ever learn?

"DEVILS?" Pumpmon did NOT now anything this strange digimon was talking about. He would not tell him anything about his friends either.

"Welp tried asking nicely. Time for the good old reliable solution" His tail stung Pumpmon in a second before he could act.

Pumpmon was prepared to say something till his mind started to feel slightly hazy. His thoughts could not be focus. He felt an urge to tell this digimon whatever he asked. His soft flame like eyes were now a light green color.

"Looks like my toxin as taken effect. I'm going to ask three questions. Nod if you understand"  Pumpmon nodded to the digimon words.

"Are you or any members of your group associated with the DEVILS what so ever?" The dragon scorpion digimon sat on a nearby crate to observe any sights of Pumpmon fighting again the serum.

"No. We came from our verse when Solisamon told us Hiro was in trouble" Pumpmon usual cheery voice now monotone as he answered.

"Huh, so Peachy is back" The digimon recalled that mysterious portals opened up with a pink digimon coming out.

Legacy and him got to know the kid and they became friends. That meant that they were with her. Not members of the DEVILS.  Though Solisamon could be manipluated by these kids even if they were not involved with that gang. Then again, during the fight  he saw how they protected her. The DEVILS usually only looked out for themselves.

"Did you hurt Solisamon to gain any entree into the DEVILS?" The next question that the digimon asked

"No...We never hurt her.....she means too much to us...My "Candy Buddy"...."Judging from his words, this digimon was telling the truth. Even his body language verified that.

"Final question now" The digimon smirked before speaking again. "What is your tamer weakness?"

Pumpmon eyes flickered from green to the usual soft flame orbs. NO! NO! HE WILL NOT BETRAY HANUEL! FIGHT IT!! FIGHT IT!!

"No...."This surprised the digimon since no one else had fought back against his truth toxin.

Whoever that human was....This digimon really cared about them. Just like how he felt about Legacy. Heh, a kindred spirit. Who would have thought...

With a snap of his claws, Pumpmon was freed from both the toxins and the ropes.

"No way a you newbies be part of that gang. A digimon who rather suffer pain instead of betraying their partner is always good in my book" The dragon scorpion digimon smiles as he helped Pumpmon up.

"Who are you?" Pumpmon asked. Still a bit cautious around this stange digimon.

"I'm the digimon partner of Legacy Susi. I am Campemon a digimon revived from ancient times and the destined right hand to Legacy. I was brought back from death by a mysterious voice who lead Legacy to me. If not the DEVILS would have forced me to join them" So he must be that other voice digimon.

Campemon lead him back to the others. After happily reuniting with his partner and the others. Pumpmon happily freed them. Campemon vouched to Legacy that these other tamers were trustworthy.

"So you all know Peachy then. Well sorry for the welcome. Guess I should have been more understanding if you all had partners" Legacy apologizes as she sprayed Solisamon with a soft yellow healing solution.

Solisamon winced at the stinging but soon felt right as rain. She could even move without any after aches from how sore she felt earlier.

WHERE IS THIS MECIDINE?! THEY NEED IT IN THEIR WORLD!!

"Can Friend have some too? They got hurt really bad" Hanuel injury nearly covered their whole back. That kid really knew how to hit hard.

"The kid did this to you?" Legacy asked while examining the injury. A mere touch caused Hanuel to jerk from her.

"You know Hiro?" They as while wincing. Using nearly all the healing solution Campemon just handed them.

"Yeah...We've been trying to save him from the DEVILS for months now. Kid is going deeper down the dark path and I have to stop it" Legacy sighed. She really cared about this verse Hiro it would seem.

"Who are the DEVILS?" Bokomon asked. Rubbing his arms that were nearly crushed by the snake like ropes.

"They are the group who controls this area. A gang out of the fifteen that run crime in the Digital World here. Their boss is Phelesmon who is the living aspect of the devil himself. He may be one of the newest gang boss members but he is by far the worse. Seeing his gangs to jump innocents. Robs from those who have little to start with. Worse is that he is making an innocent kid into a criminal!" Legacy slammed her fist through a crate in anger from the rage she felt.

"You mean that kid wearing the Devil mask and had that bat?" Ruli asked. Trying not to upset Legacy anymore than she was already.

She did not want to meet the same fate as that crate.

"His name is Hiro Amanokawa. He is about ten years old but his family doesn't care for him. His mother is always ignoring him and going to business meeting. Secretly she is a part of transporting goods using her perfume business. His father is highly abuse to him both physically and verbally. Then Phelesmon came into the boy's life. A week after their meeting, Hokuto died from alcohol poisoning. His mother got caught and is doing life in prison. Thinking he was saved and freed from the pain. Hiro joined Phelesmon. Not realizing he only considered the boy a tool.....Though he isn't..." Legacy sighed again yet this time deeper. Trying to hold in some tears.

"So he is taking advantage of him?!" That angered Hanuel who considered Hiro family. NO HURTS THEIR SURROGATE SON!!

"Forcing the kid to fight....deliver goods to shady places...no caring how beat up he gets....Only that his tasks get done...." How could anyone treat a child like that after the hell they've been through?

"You two have been trying to save him this entire time....?" There Angoramon began to connect the dots.

Campemon nods. Words not needed to express his feelings about this matter.

"As the "X-Inforcers" it is our job to rid this world from crime. That way a kid like him can look forward to a joyful tomorrow instead of how he'll survive the next day" That cause the group to get teary eyed.

Legacy.....something about her seemed familiar. Bokomon knew that there was a hero from the past like her, though their name was lost to him.

"Solisamon saw Hiro and tried to help but he got mad. Hurt Solisamon with bat....had to get help" Solisamon explains why she arrived back in the state she was in.

"Wait....just two of you? I thought you two had more members for all those knives you impaled the Boogeymons with" Bakumon look around to only find themselves in the run down base.

"Hehe~ That was all the two of us. I have a few skills from my "Cyber Abilities" A wave of her hand caused another combat knife to appear.

"COOL!!!" Solisamon fangirl.

"I can edit my objects and transform them to what I see fit. Mostly focus on knives since they are easier for me. I can also multiple them so I never run out of them" Truly a never ending arsenal.

"She also can use her skills to made us invisible which is how we got the jump on those Boogeymons. Though it has a three minute limit so we have to be quick. Mostly we use it for infiltrating bases and gathering information" Campemon added. Proud to have such an amazing skilled human as his partner.

Cyber skills sounds alot like the female member of the "Fusion Fighters" with that mysterious virus which granted her powers at the cost of her life. Is it possible... No...impossible no...

"Though it is just the two of us against a world of crime which is riddled behind every corner. Luckily with my Darkness Loader, Campemon can overpower any punk in our way" Did she say DARKNESS LOADER?!

Sure enough on the right side of her pants was the very item that the Dark Generals used to fuse their soldiers to fight against the heroes.

"Where did you get that?! Young lady that is an instrument of evil used in a time of war" Bokomon scolded as he was about to snatch the loader away from Legacy.

"Does it look like I am evil? Furthermore anything that is used for good can be used for evil. Vice Versa. It is those who wield that power who decide the purpose of how it is used. I am a bit offended that you you think I couldn't use something of evil for a means of good" Those words basically caused Bokomon to shut his mouth right away.

"Ooooh Professor got schooled" Bakumon teased. Seeing Bokomon face glew bright red in embarrassment.

"Where did you even get one? I thought they were all destroyed after the war for the Code Crown ended" Angoramon recalled reading about it in his time in the Digital World.

The fact that there was still one existing in a verse at all is beyond shocking.

"I was about nine year old at the time. This happened a few months after I rescued Campemon from the DEVILS and we became pretty good friends. It was then that I found a strange shop that was own by a man with bright red eyes and slate grey hair that covered the right side of his face. He had a knight digimon at his side. He taught me about "Cyber Abilities" as well as trained me to master the six I know now. He disappeared a year after that. Before he did though, he gave me this Darkness Loader. Telling me that we could use it for better than what it had been design for" Legacy explained before showing the Darkness Loader to the group.

To use a past evil to do good....Forming a rebel gang to fight the cruelty of this crime filled world all so there can be a brighter tomorrow for all. A Hero's legacy reincaration of a past hero. This girl truly is her own type of hero.

"Though I still have not saved that kid yet" Legacy had tried reaching out countless time to help that boy. Only to fail every time.

That would not stop this girl from giving up. Even if it was the last thing she did in her life, she vowed to rescue this kid from the devil who pulled him into the darkness.

"How can we help?" Ruli asked. Willing to offer a fellow sister a helping hand.

"Hiro whether he is ours or from another verse. He means alot to us. We will help keep him safe and away from this gang" There is no way he would allow Hiro to live in a life as a crime boss pawn.

The digimon instantly agreed without a second thought.

"Well? Your call Commander" Campemon looked up as he awaited Legacy answer.

"We could use some help if we are going to overthrow Phelesmon once and for all. It could be are golden chance to get Hiro away from this mess" Legacy thought, a plan starting to form in her head. "Welcome to the "X-Inforcers" Offering the group a handshake.

Hanuel gladly accepted it. Ready to assist wherever they could. Then they saw that strange silohuette yet again. Only this time they were a bit more clear than before.

"Are you ready to unfold a new chapter in your life?" A voice much like their own asked as the question echoed in their mind.

A new chapter? What could that voice mean by that? A new stage in their life? A power to be awoken?

How come voices had to be so crytic?! JUST SAY WHAT YOU MEAN STRANGE VOICE WITHOUT THE MYSTERY PLEASE!!

The group had some time before the planned attack on the DEVILS base of operation that Phelesmon ran personally himself. That gave them a chance to rest and save energy. They would need it if what Angoramon told them about the red devil digimon was true. While talking Bokomon brought uo a topic which had beem troubling his mind for awhile now.

"Hanuel, remember when you told me about reincaration of your world? It is quite silimar to how we are reborn as digitamas. Humans however have their souls reborn into another body but have no memories of their past. Correct?" Bokomon sat in the circle the group made. Drinking some of the green tea that Legacy offered.

"Yes. Sometimes we are reborn into animals or other living creatures such as plants. Why are you asking?" Hanuel had a feeling he knew where this was heading.

"Legacy may be the reincaration of the general which helped the Fusion Fighters defeat Bagramon during the war for the Digital World. Her name was Lily Lupus who had unique abilities as a "Cyber Sleuth". However she was killed on a mission. Her partner was the Queen of the Digital World alongside King Shoutmon" That caused all to gasp in shock.

Well all but Solisamon who too a nap on Angoramon fluffy body. Hiro always did say children such take a good nap before doing anything late at night. Plus with fur as welcoming soft as this...who wouldn't want to fall into slumberland?

Shiramon and Ruli often sleep on him anyways. Why not let Solisamon join the happy sleepers club?

"That would explain her abilities and skills. The Darkness Loader must have sense that and allowed her to become it's user" Angoramon couldn't believe he was meeting a hero of Digimon history. WHAT LUCK!!

"Hmmm. I remember hearing that King Shoutmon himself has Lily's Fusion Loader to honor her memory. If Legacy got a hold of that, her memories of her past life could be brought back to her" Bakumon remembered reading thoeries on how it would be possible for reincarations to recall their past lives.

Mostly through objects or meeting a friend of that life.

"We should ask her after the mission" Pumpmon suggestion. The rest nodding in agreement.

If only they could have known that Campemon was listening from behind the doorway. Hearing their entire conversation word for word that played in his mind.

What if Legacy does decides to go back to her past? Would she even need him anymore? He wants Legacy to be happy of course.....Though is a life without him worth such happiness.

It caused him to recall the day they first met.

"I see we have an uninvited guest in our mids. Such a young flower too" Phelesmon chuckled before he picked up Legacy by the throat. "Unfortunately for you, I despise those who trespass"

Legacy held Campemon close to her. Refusing to let go even if this devil crushed her throat like a twig. She was not the type to listen to those who see others as nothing more as pawns that could be thrown away once their use was up. Even as she faced the devil himself who could kill her this very moment... HOW COULD SHE EVER LIVE WITH HERSELF IF SHE DID NOT HELP THOSE IN NEED.

Legacy just spit directly in Phelesmon face. Smirking as a few choked words exited from her mouth.

"Eat.... my ....spit"

Phelesmon usual calm expression twisted into one of anger and disgust as he hurled the two out a window with a twelve foot drop awaiting them. May they be a splat on the sidewalk that morning clean up would handle.

Thankifully no one actually saw the two fall to their demise. Campemon managed to break their fall by atrach his tail into the wall.

"Nice save there" Legacy smiled.

"Well I had to return the favor. Thanks kid" Campemon got them back on the ground safely.

"I am not a kid! My name is Legacy!Le-ga-cy" The young girl hated being called kid. It just really pushed her buttons for some reason.

"Alright Le-gacy" He teased before facing her. "Though seriously. Thank you for helping me. My name is Campemon. You really are a lifesaver. From this day on, I'll be your most loyal friend"

They shook hands to seal the deal. Ever since the have grown into exceptional duo. Managing to defeat all that stood in the way of their mission. To stop all crime that plagued their home. To make a brighter future for all the children.

To save the boy that Legacy wants tofree from the despairing darkness which cloaks the young child's heart.

Campemon could see that these digimons were happy with their fated humans. He began to wonder if Legacy really was his fated human. She already had a partner, whose to say that they weren't waiting for them. Did he have the right to take such an amazing person from them?

"Dang....why did I have to see this...? Better off if I didn't know" He walked away from them. Holding back his sniffling tears.

Seems like this could be his last mission as Legacy partner.

Night fall soon arrive as the group infiltrated the DEVILS base of operation using Legacy invisible ability to go un noticed. 

Seemed fitting that the base of their operations happened to be a former night club in the shap of a castle. Phelesmon always had a certain taste to things but to have a whole castle for his Headquarters may be too much.

Hanuel couldn't help but wonder why Legacy was so desperate to save a child which she hardly knew. Hiro was not a family member or a friend yet she still was willing to reach out to him. Attempting to save him from this type of life. She didn't have to. Though she keeps on trying.

Perhaps it is just in her nature? Even if a part of them knew that could not be the true reason.

"Shall you overcome past struggles in order to discover a new version of yourself. To write a new story that shall aid you in finding the one true you?" Again the voice spoke in their mind. Still mysterious than ever before.

Just what exactly did it mean by those questions. Hanuel knew who they were. Why would they need to discover that again?

"Friend okay? Look troubled" Pumpmon held Hanuel hand with a worried expression on their face.

"Huh? Oh..I am fine" They patted their partner on the head for reassurance.

That did not exactly convince the trio of digimon that were their partners.

Solisamon blink. She could sense a a digimon but it was not an enemy. Rather an ally lying dormant. This upcoming battle may be the thing that awakens it. Hopefully save Hiro from the darkness which she failed to save him from.

Speaking of Hiro. Phelesmon did not take kindly to learn that his right hand failed yet again to those two pests. Like flies they kept interfering with his business. How humiliating to lose again the same child over and over again. Worse that his most trust pawn can never stop them.

He should have NEVER wasted anytime to get rid of this brat's parents. If he knew the kid was useless, he would have found someone more competent. Atlas there may be one  Final Task that this boy could do before his number runs out.

"Hiro, I shall be meriful and allow you one final chance to redeem yourself" Phelesmon walked over to the boy. Putting a hand on his shoulder.

"What do you want me to do, Sir Phelesmon?" The boy looked nervous as he knew he would not be forgive if he failed again.

"I want you to kill that girl and her pet. Even if it means your death. I know she tries to get you on her side. Sources even told me you nearly accepted. Though your loyalty to me strong and admirable. Thus I like you to lure her close before stabbing her with this" He hand a black steel dagger which reek of demonic magic.

"K-kill her? Sir...I know she has been a problem but can't we just get rid of her into another terrority? I know that Machindramon has been needing a new challenge" Hiro could feel Phelesmon grip on his shoulder tighten in disapproval.

"Why does her fate matter to you? Did she not humiliate for every task she foiled? Were you not angered that she was the sole reason for a failure? Here you are defending her, when she only causes PROBLEMS for you" Phelesmon then lean into Hiro ear before whispering. "It is a dog eat dog world, dear boy. You or her. Your survival depends on her death"

"Y-yes sir" Even if he hated the idea. Hiro had no choice but to obey.

Phelesmon freed him from torment from his abusive parents. Became a friend to him in this lonesome world. Allow him to become his right hand before any of the Boogeymon at his commamd. He owe this digimon so much.

The thought of killing Legacy seemed to be sickening his mind. Legacy may be an enemy but as Phelesmon claimed, the girl never stopped reaching out to him. No matter how many times he hurt or insulted her...She would just smile and offer him a place with her.

Like she wanted him....A big sister as he always wanted. One who would genuinely care for him.

Why? Why couldn't his fate have been different? Now he had to kill her...

"PHELESMON, YOUR CRIME SPREE ENDS HERE!" Out from the invisibility, the heroes appeared to face Hiro and the devil himself.

"X-Inforcers!" The Boogeymons hissed as they gatheted in the room. Pitchforks raised at the heroes.

Campemon looked at Legacy with a shared nod.

"Time for a Scan data fusion!" Unlike most Fusion loaders, Legacy can fuse Campemon with scan data from digimon it analyzes.

For instance...MetalGreymon.

There Campemon recieved Metalgreymon digi chromozoid armor. That as well as some new metal claws. Ooooh, what a fun time!

Chop! Chop! SLICE! Chop! Chop! Chop!

In the blink of an eye which probably couldn't met such speed. Eighty percent of Phelesmon minions were now tiny mirco cubes of data.

Nothing beats a good fusion! Combinations can be quite deadly you know!

"Woah..." Hiro watched in shock and amazement. This was the bond of true friends.

"HIRO! NOW STAB HER!"Phelesmon ordered. Pointing at Legacy with a look of utter disgust.

Everyone froze at what Phelesmon just said. Was he...was he honestly ordering a child to kill someone? He's just a kid....he doesn't need to be a murder...

"Hiro...drop the knife and come here" Legacy knelt down on one knee and opened her arms to the boy.

She knew the risks of lowering her guard in enemy terrority, but she had to comfort the boy. Show that he had someone who made him feel safe. Someone that he could turn to in this moment.

Hiro grip on the dagger became shaken. He slowly took steps towards Legacy. Trying hard to complete his orders as he had always done before.

"Hiro even if you hurt me....I will still reach out to you" Legacy words caused the younger boy to freeze in place. Why did she care so much?

Hiro dropped the demonic dagger before falling to the ground. He COULD NOT do this. No! He could not carry out such an order.

Phelesmon sighed. "Waste of time indeed" With a snap of his fingers, the demonic dagger flew with the malicious intentions to kill the boy.

Though someone made themselves a new target in it's way.

"LEGACY!!!" Hiro could heard the others scream but that soon turned into deafening silence. For the scene before him was simply a scene of horror.

Legacy had used her own body as a shield for him. Kept him safe...

"You....alright?" She asked weakily before falling to her knees.

"WHY? WHY DID YOU TRY TO SAVE ME?! NO ONE CARES ABOUT ME. WHY DO YOU KEEP TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE LIKE ME?!" Hiro tears hit the girl who never gave up on him. He had given up hope for redemption for himself.

"That's because.....I know what it's like....to go through hell...." Legacy used her hands that were getting dangerously numb to dry his tears. "My parents work for the top gang of this world. Business alway was their priority compared to their daughter.  Never worried if I ate or if I had gotten sick. I could have died and they would have simply shrugged it off like it were nothing. Barely escaped that harsh life. Though their words stuck with me for years. Insults drilled into my head echo non stop. Taunting me to cave in and give into the darkness of it all.....Till I took a stand....Found that I am my own person....that doesn't need to be like them....Not to follow their footsteps since I can be better...."

Hanuel thought over Legacy words. They had nearly fallen to the darkness if not for the people in their life. That light which now guided him to look forward to a better tomorrow.

There the voice spoke to him again. He could now see it as clearly as ever.

"Young child. You have written many of stories through your growth. One of pain and lost. How you have tried to sense what you thought was justice at the expense of others. The many lives in which you had hurt while still trying to fine your one true self. That is not to say that you have not made progress. You overcame countless trials thst allowed you to see things in nee perspectives. Opened your heart to make new friends, fixing bridges between those you have thought had abandoned you. Discovered so many things about yourself which you had not before due to the doubt in your mind. It would seem now you have a new story to speak of. One which shall be a new beginning to you" The voice offered their hand to the young detective.

"Am I truly worthy? I've been influenced by despair and negative which resulted in many getting hurt. I often lash out on those trying to help. Putting my digimon partners in danger that they do not deseeve. Do I have a right to a new beginning?" Hanuel asked the voice. Doubt seeding itself to their mind again.

"I understand the doubt in your heart. You have gone through so much pain thst it is natural to see yourself unfit at times. Though your life is your story to weave. Think of this as a new chapter. Only you can decide what story your life shall take on" Those words held great truth in them.

Hanuel actions were their own. No one but them could ever decide that. Whether good or bad. Each event in their life has been their own story. Each chapter had helped their character grown into who they are today.

Why stop now? They still had a child to save from the darkness after all.

"Are you ready to begin a new story? Then let us join together to mark a new chapter in this life. Call my name so my power becomes yours. My name is....." Their minds and hearts became one with the voice. Their identity already known to Hanuel.

"Aesopmon" There the symbol of the Story Weaver appeared on their digivice.

Solisamon diamond pattern glew bright as a great power had been awaken.

"Tri-Biomerge activate!" Hanuel placed his VR bracelet close to his head as the symbol once again appeared on the screen.

"Pumpmon...!"

"Bokomon....!"

Bakumon...!"

"TRI BIOMERGE TO.....!!"

There a writer began to write a story about oneself. A tale that had laughter and fun of a creative mind whose ideas had limitless possibilities. Each inspiration taken from the river of divine knowledge which all become fascinated by over time. The power of dreams which brai uses to express fantasies of leaving the real world to just for one sole night, enter the book's world to have merry fun.

There the words each held an aura of life as one by one they fled their homes of the crisp pages. Gathering the happiness and wonder of each story to bring forth a new being that not only writes these stories but protects them as well. There the lights of the four illuminate the being of words just as the book closes.

Holding said book? That happened to be the biomerge of the four in question.

"It seems like a demon is trying to end the story of one who still has much say. If there is anything that truly upsets me, then it would have to be an unfinish book" There from a purple clear mist came a humaniod digimon.

"Hanuel?" Ruli asked in awe and shock. "I-Is that you?"

"Yes. Though now I am Aesopmon the Story Weaver who shall put an end to Phelesmon" They answered before shutting the book they had been currently reading.

There standing before her was and orange hair humanoid digimon who don on a mask of pure amythest which only their emerald eyes could be shown. Their skin was as white as freshly printed paper. Around their neck was a green bow tie that held a golden crest that was given to them by a fellow CREATOR of sorts. They wore a  black suit like outfit that had six golden buttons, three on each side which were connected by strings of red thread. Polish white gloves that couldn't be stain by anything like a pure dream. A simply look that also defined them as a intellectual individual.Around there waist were three special pens that contain:Knowledge, Creativity, and the Essence of dreams. All connected to the very powers that this story weaver possessed. Wearing matching black tight pants to go along with the suit. Black boots that had helped this digimon travel long and far to see inspiration to write even more thrilling stories. Lastly a cape which was crafted by the very mist like clouds that come from the land of dreams themselves. A book hovering around them, ready to obey it's writer's wish whenever they desire.

"Hanuel biomerged with all three of their partners?!" Angoramon stared in disbelief as his jaw dropped.

Biomerges were possible but to be biomerged with three digimon? That seemed like an impossible feat. There Aesopmon stood before them which made it known that the feat was not as farfetched as it sounded.

"Heh....seems like...they found their true self...." Legacy smiled despite how weak her body was getting in that moment.

Aesopmon looked at Legacy before their eyes met the devil digimon who mocked her suffering with manical laughter.

"This phantom looking writing is suppose to be threatening? BWAHAHA!!! I've seen Numemon more menacing than this. Well I suppose I will destroy you while enjoying the fact that Legacy Susi shall finally die" Phelesmon got ready to charge at Aesopmon. "DEMON SHOUT!" He wailed a ear splitting scream towards them.

"Hm? I think not. By the light of the stars above. Grant me the power of blinding light" Aesopmon quickly wrote in their book before a stream of pure angelic light hit Phelesmon dead in the face.

The pen that writes is far much powerful than any sword as they say. Aesopmon pens are the most powerful in all of digital history.

Hiro gasps while he tended to Legacy wound. Phelesmon who always seemed so powerful was no struggling like a fish out of water. He seemed so mighty before but he lost all his minions. Deep down....the big shot aristocrat devil was a weakling...

How could he have ever thought following him was a good idea...? Legacy...please forgive him...

"I think play time is over. I have just the one person to deal with trash such as you" Using their move "Character Construct", Aesopmon brought to life  the Archangel.

Who better to combat the devil than the warrior angel from above. With just one swing of his holy sword, the devil was reduced to a pile of data bits.

There the Archangel vanished after completing his task. Hanuel and the others returned to normal as well. With the exceptions that the three digimons were now in their baby stages. Curimon rested soundly on their head while two Yukimibotamon nesrled in their arms. Sleeping like the precious angels they were.

Awwww. Where a camera to take a photo of this heart melting moment?

Though now Hanuel had to keep away from Shiramon till they were back to normal. Otherwise his partners would most certainly be baby-napped.

"Woah...." Hanuel felt a rush of power surging through their body. It was a good feeling.

Though Legacy state brought them back to their senses.

"Legacy....no..." The wound seemed too deep. It looked as if nothing could be done now.

Campemon looked at Legacy with tears in his eyes. "Hey! Don't you dare die on me! Not after all we have been through! YOU CAN'T! I WON'T LOSE YOU!" His claws soaked in her blood while trying to cover up her wound.

NO! FATE CAN FORGET TAKING HER AWAY! LEGACY IS NOT GOING TO DIE IF HE CAN HELP IT!

"P-please...stay with me....you mean too much to let go..." He sobbed.

Then his mind was taken to a realm of clouds and light. There a purple furred digimon with a red stone on her forehead awaited him.

"Hello Campemon. It is good to finally meet you" Her voice was calm and soft that it made it just as welcoming as the cloud realm they were in

"Who are-" It then dawn on the dragon scorpion digimon who this was. "You're her partner...Dorumon..."

"Yes. Though I know my time with her is over. Campemon you are her partner now. I want you to have by last bit of energy to save her life through your new X evolution" Dorumon placed a hand on Campemon

"W-wait! You are her real partner! I was just a replacement! She is probably more happy with you" Campemon couldn't take Legacy happiness away from her. No!

"Campemon, you truly care for her that you would sacrifice your own happiness. She is your treasure is she not? I already had the best life I could have with her. She doesn't need me anymore. You are the one she needs. You are her TRUE PARTNER. Promise me that you'll keep our girl safe" Dorumon held his hand tightly as her body began to fade. Transfering what little strength she had left to Campemon.

"I will. I promise" A tear was shed as he returned to Legacy side. Ready to save his PARTNER NO MATTER WHAT.

There his body lit aglow as he held Legacy closer to his core. There the Darkness Loader flash as an X symbol appeared.

"Campemon digivolve to....!" There in a golden flash, Campemon began to transform into the new form that Dorumon gifted him.

Solisamon saw through the blinding light that a large golden dragon with the most gentle pair of red eyes that any digimon could ever have. Horns which strench and curved at the end seemed to be adored with many colorful scales which acted as gemstones. He had thick yet not as sharp claws that his prior form did. However he possessed a long scorpion tail that had an X shaped stinger.

Solisamon knew that the CREATOR had no involvement in this evolution since she couldn't hear her voice. Someone else had given Campemon the power to become a mega level.

A bond that allows one to match a feat of one who can create anything..Incredible..

Hiro...Will there be a day where a Failure like Solisamon can do a similar feat? Could she prove that her worries are just falsehoods that her mind places there.

"Skorpingimon X!" The warrior dragon roared before looking at Legacy. Eyes softening as he nuzzles his head against hers.

"Legacy, you are far too strong to give into the spector of death. You can't stop all you've work so long to achieve. I know you are tired but it's still not time for you to throw in the towel to life" He whispers. Holding her hand in his own.

Hiro teared up as he took a hold of Legacy other hand. Promising that he would turn over a new leaf if Legacy pulled through this. No more crime! No more evil! He even join Legacy dream to make a better world!!

Please....please...heavens above...do not take her this soon.

"Cura Valoa" Skorpingimon X concreted as a powerful healing string made out of light entered Legacy body before repairing the damage.

Stitch by stitch the muscles are mended back together. Every cell is restored back to life while color returns to Legacy face.

"Amazing..." Angoramon read about the tremendous powers that X-Antibody digimon held but never before had he believed it was beyond words.

"Beautiful...." Ruli eyes sparkled at how the soft healing glow made Legacy appear as a holy angel.

Hanuel simply watched for they had no words to describe the scene before their very eyes.

The moment that the healing had completed, Campemon returned to his original form. Panting out of pure exchaustion from all the energy it took to fix Legacy up. He looked over to see Legacy still unmoved.

Had he failed?....No...P-please no...

"Legacy...?" Hiro called her. His eyes were ready to spill more tears.

Then an arm pulled him in close. Hiro eyes widen before looking up to see Legacy smiling at him.

"You okay? Didn't get hurt right?" She nearly got killed by a dagger made by demonic magic from a devil. Her first thought his Hiro safety.

Hiro wasted to time to hug her. This stupid selfless girl can be such a pain sometimes. Funny how Hiro had never been so glad to see that smile which he had once found unbelievably annoying.

Campemon wiped away a few tears as he smiled at the two embracing one another.

"You are my treasure. Though it seems now I have two to look after now. No matter what may lie on the road ahead, I promise to protect you both as long as I can. For myself and your former partner wishes"

The heroes shedded a few tears at the heart warming scene. They had saved Hiro from a path that surely would have been his demise.

NOW IF ONLY IT WAS THAT EASY FOR THEIR TROUBLE MAGNET! LEAST THIS HIRO NOW HAS A SISTERLY FIGURE WATCHING OVER HIM ALONG WITH THEIR GUARDIAN DRAGON!!

"Are you all leaving already?"Hiro asked from next to Legacy. Sadden to learn that his new friends had to return back home.

"Yes. We will visit though. I promise we will let you meet the rest of our team" Ruli reassured . Patting the bed head kid to comfort him.

Solisamon hugged Hiro since she was happy that her brother of this verse is now no longer in danger of becoming a delinquent.

"Is she okay?" He looked at Angoramon. His bones feeling crushed from the mountain of pressure.

HOW CAN A HUGGER BE THIS STRONG?! SERIOUSLY ANY MORE AND HE WILL BE LITERALLY SPINELESS!!

How  their Hiro takes them like no big  deal is beyond all logic in the multiverse. Even Centuriomon fears those crushing hugs at times.

"Just leave her be. No point in fighting against something you can not win" Angoramon adviced the boy who continued to be squeezed like a Teddy bear.

"Will you three be alright? There are still alot of gangs that want you to die. Especially since Phelesmon is now put of the picture" Hanuel couldn't help but allowed their parental worries to kick in.

"Don't go worry about us now. We "X-Inforcers" don't bent the knee just cuz there are tough roads in our way. This kid will never be hurt or mistrested in my care" Legacy playfully ruffled up Hiro hair.

Those words were ones that Hanuel knew that could be trusted.  Thus they all returned home without a single worry about their new friends.

Hiro looked up at Legacy. Seeming to be hesitant about something.

"Hiro, you okay?" Legacy knelt down to his eye level. Concerned written all over her face.

"Y-Yeah. It's just...." He broke eye contact before calming his composure.

"Just?" Now Campemon was next to Legacy. Away from making Hiro his own Darkness Loader.

The man with red eyes taught Campemon how one was made in case he ever needed to repair or make a new one at anytime. The kiddo would need one if he would be on the team.

"C-can I....Is it okay if I call you my sister?" A question that brings tears down Legacy eyes. Covering her mouth.

"You..." Her tears caused bpth boys to panic as this happened to be the first time either of them saw her cry.

"Legacy?! What's wrong?! Is it something I said? Was that too soon-" Hiro ready to apologize for his foolish actions had been pulled into a surprise hug.

"Here I thought I been the first to call you my "Little Brother" Her embrace tighten. Never wanting to let go ever again.

Hiro after getting over the shock, returned the hug. It had been far too long that he got such a warm embrace like this. It felt nice to get one from his "sister"

To think that two have started new chapters in their lives. One revealed stories still to be discovered about one's self. The other about accepting one's path reborned to complete a new purpose.Both gaining something alone the way.

All thanks to one reaching out a helping hand.
