And here we are with chapter 6... and all I can say is: 15000 words long!!! xD

I'm amazed with myself... and this was one of the reasons it took me so long to write it... plus I wrote it entirely with my iphone4... it was quite the challenge xD

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. Digimon belong to Bandai,except my characters names and personality.

Pikuna belongs to Pikuna

Incendramon belongs to Incendra

The Clerimon race belongs to Cel.

Celia and Inc were alone inside the principle's office,soaked to the bone, sitting on a chair in front of the table waiting.

Leo and Pikuna were with the principal and vice principal who were accompanying them to the school's nurse for medical attention.

Inc looked over at her a bit angered: "Why did you attack her?You could have had hurt her pretty badly...Have you even thought of that?"

It took Celia a little to respond,the ticking of the clock on the wall could have been heard through the silence. She was so exhausted that it amazed her to still be conscious.

Turning to look at him she responded: "I was just trying to help..."

"I didn't ask for your help...plus,do you consider smashing one with a giant hammer helping?" he asked matter of factly.

"It was the only way Inc..."

"The only way?" Inc interrupted her again.

"Ok Celia,let me ask you this...If instead of Pikuna, there was Leo in the same predicament... would you have acted in the same way?"

This question caught Celia by surprise.

She really didn't know what to answer.

True,when he went berserk last time she just gave him chop and made him faint,but if it would happen again while he was in his true form,the thought of fighting him made her shiver a little.

Inc sighed seeing her troubled expression: "Just as I thought."

"Inc...I'm sorry...Really...but you have to understand...the reason I..."

Both of them heard the door open making Celia stop in her mid sentence.

Turning too look they saw Ragna and the principle enter,the MirageGallantmon leaning on the wall of Inc's right,with both arms crossed.

The Principle took his seat, both of his hands on the table looking at them smiling.

In a second his smile turned into a real serious expression and slammed his right arm on the table making both of the young Digimon jump a little from fright: "YOU IDIOTS!!! Have you two any idea of what you almost caused?"

None of the two moved and stood silent, deciding that it was the best thing to do in this situation.

"If all of you continued your little battle you could have brought down the entire roof on the classes bellow you...Have any of you even considered this small little detail?"

They both looked at each other, not even thinking at that possibility in the least.

"I just don't understand, why didn't either one of you came to me or Ragna to come and help instead doing so much the heroes." the principal continued.

"With all do respect sir, neither one of us could have done this...Leo was injured, Celia and I were always attacked by a female Clerimon while Pikuna was having her hands full with the other male Clerimon." Inc responded to the principle very seriously.

"And by Gods name, can I know what in the world were you doing up there in the first place?",the principle asked.

"Leo sensed someone being up there... and went there alone...I started to go after him...even loosing his trail because ...I don't know this school at all... being my first day here." Celia said between gasps.

"And how did he get hurt?" Ragna asked her.

"He took a hit...by an arrow...that was directed...towards me...in my place..." she continued.

"You let him get himself injured? What kind of Digimon are you that can't protect your tamer from danger? This is one of the reasons you're with him Beta... to assure his safety....the same goes to you too Gamma..." he said angrily

"Me and Pikuna arrived when the incident already took place...if anything of it is my fault it's because we didn't come there earlier." Inc said raising his voice a little getting angry a little by these accusations.

"Inc is right...it was only me there at that time." Celia said.

"I hope for you that this is the last time I see him injured...and if it happens again...you are going to be the one held responsible and at fault Beta seeing that you are the one in charge from the 4 of you...you hear me? And if you don't succeed....I can always dispose of you. " the principle continued coldly.

Celia gave him a look of pure horror hearing the last phrase...Inc looked amazed at this himself.

"But sir...you can't do that..."

"I can and I will if you fail...A Clerimon is worth as another..."

Celia left her head down a little staying silent not wanting to worsen her position any further. She just gotten in the team and started her role and already failed.

"Yes sir...I won't let nothing happen again to him...I promise." she said almost submissively.

"Very well." the principle said nodding to her then eyed Inc: "Haven't my brother and his wife told you of the consequences of digivolving on your own accord, especially in an uncontrollably state?"

"To be honest...yes...",Inc answered.

"Then why did Delta digivolve in that manner knowing this?" the principle asked curiously.

"Because I was the only one who was told by this detail...but very little of it...I know it had side effects if it actually happened...Pikuna was never told of it...and this theory was never actual proven...plus neither me or Leo's parents thought that it was possible to digivolve without our respective tamer." Inc responded in the best way he could.

"Well at least Beta made herself useful and made Delta turn to normal...If not things might have gone bad for her." the principal said eyeing her a little.

"And why is that?".Inc asked curiously.

"Because of not Delta might of not be in one piece now if Beta hadn't knocked her out.".Ragna responded simply.

Inc gave him a look of horror understanding clearly what he meant: "But that's impossible!!!How can a simple digivolution destroy us out of the blue?"

"That's because Delta used a part of Alpha 's energy do digivolve without him giving it to her willingly...this causing her to not be able to control it because of the energy not being her own...and furthermore if that energy can't be controlled..it can have dire consequences...even death." Ragna responded seriously.

"Even death? They didn't tell me of this back then." Inc thought in disbelief looking over at Celia for a second.

"Then that's why Celia attacked her back then...she knew of this didn't she? To make sure it wouldn't come to that she made her attack so that the damage would turn her back to her champion form..."

"So in other words, we can't let our anger take the better of us otherwise we are done for." Inc said.

"More or less...this depends by Alpha also though...Actually if he would be able to use his power he could have taken the power that Delta took from him back...or better...make sure that you can control it...That's why we made it possible that only you 3 can do this little trick..." the principle responded.

"And as long as Leo can't awaken fully we can't use it or we end up like Pikuna did earlier..." Celia continued looking at him.

"I think that's enough scolding for a day...Look you two...the thing is that we can't risk Alpha's well being seeing that he is the key for the future...and this depends by you 3 for now to make sure he stays safe... " Ragna said.

"We know that...and we are doing our best...but having to fight two strong Megas in our current form isn't easy the only one in advantage that can keep hear head up with them is Celia..." Inc stated looking towards the MirageGallantmon.

"You 3 are special Digimon...you can make even Megas kneel before you in champion form if you want....but you don't use all your potential...or rather...you don't know how to use it yet..." Ragna responded to them.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Inc asked in confusion.

"You'll find out one way or the other...but I can say this...Every one of you develops and acts differently depending on they're emotions ."

"Well,that's a big help." Inc thought.

"Now that we had our little discussion you both can leave and go home." the principle said while getting up from his seat.

The two young Digimon gave him a weird look.

"But there are still two lessons till the school finishes." Inc said looking at the clock on the wall.

The principle sighed: "Well, it just wouldn't make sense to send you all back to lessons right now would it? You are all exhausted and wounded from this fight...plus this is the first day and you wouldn't lose much of the education anyway...The other two already know of this and are waiting for you on the down flour."

Both Inc and Celia nodded in understanding getting up from they're seats also.

"I think it's better if we go to our classes first...so we can take our and the other's school bags." Inc said while towards the door followed by Celia.

Both the principle and Ragna nodded :"The secretary knows already that you will be leaving, so there is no need to right a justification on your booklets."

"Very well...A good day to both of you." Inc said politely opening the door while Celia just did a bow to them.

"Well, that's a weird way to say goodbye but oh well." Inc thought getting out of the room followed soon by Celia.

As soon as they left and they closed the door a figure appeared behind the principle giggling a little.

"You know as well as I do that you would never dispose of this "Beta" you call even if you wanted too."

The principle grinned: "Well I had to intimidate her a little so she can take her role more seriously...And what do I give for this surprising visit?"

"Just to see how were you fairing sir and to know what must I do from now on."

"For now I say just keeping an eye on them and intervene only if the situation recalls it...Understand?"

"Oh, so I've become some sort of babysitter now...What a change of role...Very well...As soon as they will leave the school I'll be watching over them...But first,you have some explaining to

do."

"Oh really? And about what I must add?" the principle asked.

"Why was I never told that she was an ADP all this time?"

"Well, I have to agree once with Leo...that guy is such a bastard...I can't believe he is Leo'suncle and furthermore he is also the general of the D.W.O.S of Verona" Inc thought making an impression about the principle.

They were starting to climb the stairs.

The silence being very strange to Inc.

He turned for a second to look at Celia seeing her walking lamely with her head hung down. "Well, that'sunusual." Inc thought.

"What's with you? It's not like you to act like this usually." Inc said to her.

Celia slowly looked at him making a fake smile.

"It's nothing...it's just that I'm exhausted...using the ability you just saw...back then...takes out a lot of me..." Celia responded.

Inc sighed: "Look, I'm sorry for what I said earlier...I just didn't knew about this...I guess I should actually thank you."

"Don't worry about it...it's understandable...I guess I would have gone mad to...if I were in your place. "

"Ok, we will meet up in front of the bar once we get the school bags cause I'm sure you don't know where the infirmary is...Ok?"

Celia only nodded to him and went to the third flour where her class was.

Inc was afraid for a second that she would have fainted on the stairs.

She was barely standing.

"Are you sure you don't want some help?",Inc asked worried.

She stopped and looked at him for a second and just shook her head starting climbing them again going to the next flour

Inc sighed.

"Boy,what a day." he said out loud to himself walking towards his class.

"And that does it...You sure got a severe wound here...You must not force your right arm to much for a while. Ok?" the nurse said making sure the bandage was well put on his arm.

"I understand...Thanks a lot for the aid Ms. Soato." Leo said smiling at her.

"Don't mention it. It's my job after all." she said smiling back "I'll be in my office if you need me."

Leo nodded: "Ok, guess I'll be waiting for the other two to arrive."

She nodded also going back to her office while Leo went in the waiting room of the infirmary.

The room wasn't that big and it was pretty empty.

Only a small round table and some chairs around.

He could see Pikuna seated on one of them.

Her head hung down with a sorrow expression on her face.

She had small bandages here and there from Celia's attack, but they weren't too serious.

Leo was a bit saddened to see her like that.

"The last time I ever saw her like this was so longago." Leo thought remembering himself when he was little, being on the swings in his courtyard with Pikuna young herself, seated next to him with the same expression as now while the sun was setting.

He took a seat next to her.

Pikuna not giving a sign or anything, like she was totally absent.

"Sis, can you tell me what's bothering you? To be honest you're kind of creeping me out right now." Leo said placing his right hand on her shoulder in comfort.

She didn't gave a response,staying in the same position as before,like frozen in place.

"It's because of that guy,isn't it?" he continued trying to earn a response from her, but with the same success as before.

He sighed seeing that he was going nowhere with this.

His gaze then caught Inc outside the door making a gesture with his paw telling him to go to him.

Leo complied and went out of the room staying in front of Inc.

Looking at his right he could see Celia standing near the exit of the school, she also silent just like Pikuna with her head hung down.

"Great...another one...This just isn'tmy day.",he thought a bit annoyed.

While Leo looked towards Celia Inc was looking towards Pikuna thinking almost the same thing as his brother.

"What's with her?" they both asked in unison.

They looked at each other a bit surprised then continued in unison again: "You first."

Leo gave a shrug.

"Can we stop doing that?" he asked a bit exasperated. "I don't know Inc...she wouldn't talk to me...it's like she closed herself...I may know the reason she is acting like this...but if she doesn't give me a sign or something...I can't tell."

"Well, this is the first time I've seen her like this." Inc said looking at her in concern.

"Actually, I've seen her only once like this, but we were very young.

It didn't pass that much since I met her...she was sad cause many kids and persons around gave her weird looks and heard some of them considering her strange."

"I see...She never told me of this."

"That's because she doesn't want to remember it...I think you should try to talk with her...maybe you'll get through her better than me." Leo said patting his brother's shoulder.

"Very well." he said nodding to him then looking at Celia for a second.

"As for her she did speak saying that she was tired from the fight...But I think it's something else though".

With that said he went towards Pikuna taking a sit next to her.

Leo smiled a little then went towards Celia.

Inc looked at Pikuna intently.

He could see perfectly that she was sad, but also seemed deep in thought.

"Piku, are you okay? Leo is kinda worried, you know.?

"I know..." she said in whisper.

"Well, she answered. A good start." Inc thought.

"Don't tell me your still thinking of what happened earlier. We already talked about it,didn't we?"

"I know...but you can't expect me to pass over it like nothing happened...then that guy had to show up...I can't get him out of my mind...I thought that I would never see that bastard again." she said in a saddened but also angered tone shivering a little.

Seeing this Inc put a paw on her shoulder bringing her closer to him.

She placed her head on his shoulder nuzzling his cheek.

When Leo reached Celia he looked at her surprised.

"A saddened face, head hung down, nogiggling, her tail not swishing...Yep, Inc wasn't kidding...Something isn't right." he thought.

The first thing he tried to do is moving his hand up and down near her face to gain her attention but with no result.

"Man,this is serious." he thought.

"Ehm, earth to Celia. Celia, do you copy?" Leo said clapping his fingers but yet she didn't respond.

He started to actually get worried a little after this.

This was totally so not like her.

"Celia, I swear, if this is some sort of scheme you're pulling out to get me worried I'm so..." he was saying but he stopped when he saw her closing her eyes and started to fell.

Leo gave a gasp seeing this reacted immediately grabbing her in time.

"Celia!!!" she heard Leo scream before loosing totally conscience.

Celia found herself floating.

The only thing around her was pure endless darkness.

"Wh...Where am I?" she asked herself looking around nut could only see the same darkness everywhere.

Then she started hearing voices coming from her left, then from her right till they came from basically everywhere like in a echo.

"I'm really happy for you two...But don't you think that this complicates things now?"

"Your main objective was to guide and protect him...not love him!"

"You know very well that you have to tell him sooner or later, right?"

"What, are you feeling lonely now? Well, this is what false persons get in the end! It suits you."

"I wonder! Will you be able to accomplish your task or not?"

"It will just end like last time princess...No matter how much you dislike this...that's his fate...and the only thing we can do is sit down and watch."

The darkness around started to drift back finding herself in a forest clearing.

She didn't have time to look around her surroundings since in a mere second she saw someone grabbing her from her neck gripping very strong suffocating her raising her like she weighted nothing.

Looking at her aggressor she was surprised to see that it was a Clerimon.

She didn't know why ,but he looked so familiar to her...all she could see in his expression was pure anger and it seemed like it was...crying, she thought.

Celia awoke with a start, gasping a little bringing her paws gently to her neck.

"It seemed soreal..." she thought remembering when the Clerimon was gripping her.

"It was just a dream." she said to herself.

"Must have been quite the dream marathon all right...it took you a while to wake up..." she heard someone say, which made her look around to see where the voice came from.

She recognized where she was in a mere second.

The question was what she was doing here in the first place, but then she started remembering....the first day of school, the fight on the roof, Pikuna going nuts, her using all her energy and in the end when she fainted.

Looking closely she saw that the entrance to the balcony was opened and sitting on a chair outside was Leo who was looking at her with those penetrating hazel eyes.

It was obvious that it was night time seeing that it was dark outside, but she was curios to know what hour was it.

"So,are you feeling better?" Leo continued asking her.

"Yeah...I guess." she responded getting out of the bed.

When she started to take her first step she felled gasping on her knees.

"Damn, I'm so weakened that I can't even move properly. Guess I'm not fully ready to use my powers yet as I want." she thought a bit saddened.

Leo sighed and got up when he saw Celia fell and went towards her.

"This is what you get when surpassing your limit...Did you even thought for a second that you could have compromised even you're well being when you created that hammer?" Leo said a bit harshly.

"But I...just did it for Pikuna." she said in a low tone.

"I really don't get you. First you appear out of nowhere, you act all sassy and cheerfully, then you appear at my school, but you ignore me and act so coldly. Then you appear protecting me in battle like I'm the most precious thing to you. Believe me, I try to understand you, but I can't. You're so weird. Do you know how worried you made me till know?"

"I'm sorry..." she responded simply, even though for some reason this isn't what Leo wanted to hear.

He expected her to respond as her usual self, smiling and teasing him, but looking at her really started creeping him out in a way.

She was silent, she seemed saddened, she acted like the exact opposite as the Celia he knew.

In a way, he should be happy about the situation, but at that moment he actually was sorry for her.

The silence in the room was starting to get on his nerves and decided to say something to her, but he didn't get the chance as Celia looked at him with her cobalt blue eyes, who where shining from the moon outside and to his shock he saw tears coming down from them.

"You're right...I'm weird...and sometimes I don't understand myself too at all...I try so hard to help in anyway I can or to be there for someone, but I never seem to get it right...it seems that I only succeed in upsetting people around me...like you...and even Inc...maybe I am just being a bother and useless after all..." she said while crying.

Leo was basically speechless at the moment.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Celia was actually crying, right there in front of him.

For the first time in his life, he felt like his body moved on his own accord and did something that didn't surprise only Celia, but himself.

He knelt in front of her and without a second thought, he grabbed her in a tight hug.

Celia couldn't believe what was happening at first.

For a second she thought that maybe she was still dreaming, because to her it seemed impossible.

"Leo is actually hugging me? Him of allpersons?"

"I didn't say that you are useless, if anything I should thank you for helping Pikuna out there and protecting me...it's just that...I don't know what to think any more... I always knew that Clerimon where creatures without a heart that destroys or kills everything on sight as long as they reach they're goal...and me and Pikuna saw that with our very own eyes...and even the two that attacked us at school seem to be the same...that's why I hate you race...but then you arrived and that's when I started to become confused...you act like the opposite of them..." he said in a low tone to her, not letting go of her not even a second.

Celia looked at him for a second and said something that he never expected to hear.

"If it consoles you...You should know that I hate my race too...I hate it so much that sometimes I wish I was something different...I don't blame people that think of us as monsters...but it isn't fair that every single one of us must be treated as one...I mean,it isn't my fault that I'm a Clerimon...I never asked to be one...and yet even in the organization I was always looked at with disdain...like being a freak..."

Leo at that point didn't know what to say to her.

He knew of Celia not being that accepted in the D.W.O.S, but he didn't expect that she hated being a Clerimon.

Usually they took pride in being one, but then again he forgot that he was talking about Celia here.

Sighing a little he stroked away the tears near her eyes and said: "Well this is something I didn't expect to hear from you honestly...Let me give you a little tip that I gave to a great friend of mine that had your same problem..."

At that point the white dragoness was looking attentionally at him not moving an inch and waiting for him to continue.

"You mustn't give a damn of what they think...if they consider you a freak that's they're problem...and no matter what you mustn't show them that your hurt by this otherwise they'll continue one making it worse for you...so stop with this useless nonsense and pull yourself together...it's so not like you Celia." he finished raising his voice a little, looking deadly serious.

Celia looked at him wide eyed.

She was confused in every way possible.

Letting her head hung down she whispered in a very low tone: "Why?"

"Come again?" Leo asked in confusion not understanding what she said at first.

Celia looked at him with an angered expression and spoke louder and a bit harshly this time: "Why? Why are you acting so kind and caring all of a sudden with me? Didn't you hate me till now?"

"Do you want me to hate you?" Leo asked seeing that he got her completely off guard with this question.

She stood there in silence, not knowing what to say.

He actually had the chance to see now what she actually felt, remembering the discussion he had with her mother later that afternoon.

Leo was sitting on the back of the car with Celia lying on the seats, her head placed on his lap.

Inc and Pikuna were sitting in the middle seats while Bastemon was sitting in the passenger front seat and Francesca was the one driving.

"Can someone of you care to explain what happened?" Francesca asked seriously at them.

"I'm quite curios to know as well." Bastemon continued.

None of the three responded at the question, like they didn't even hear it.

Pikuna was looking outside the window, the only thing she did since she entered the car.

Inc in all the time continuing looking at her with concern, while Leo did the same thing looking at Celia.

"I'm waiting you know?" Francesca said again in annoyance.

"Mom, I'll tell you when we get home...right now, none of use are in the mood." Leo said quite annoyed himself.

"Ok...I hold you do that." she replied.

After 30 minutes they arrived home, everyone getting out of the car without saying a word.

Pikuna went immediately inside the house without saying anything.

Looking at Inc Leo could see that the dragon warrior was starting to get very worried about the situation.

Turning to look at his tamer Inc asked kindly: "Leo, can you please explain what happened without me please?"

Leo smiled at his request and went towards his brother getting nearer so he could whisper to him: "Sure thing...don't worry about it...just stay by her side as much as you can...Right now she needs you to be there for her."

Inc smiled back and nodded saying a simple "Thanks" and going in the house himself.

"I think he is the only one that can cheer Pikuna up in a moment like this" Leo thought going back to her mother seeing that Bastemon was holding Celia between her arms.

"I better change her from these wet clothes...otherwise she will end up catching a cold as well...We brought all her stuff here so she could have started to live with us starting from today...Don't start explaining anything till I come too...cause I want to know what happened as well." Bastemon said going to the house as well.

"Bastet, wait!" Leo said making the cat Digimon stop in her tracks.

"Yes?" she asked curiously turning to look at him.

"After you changed her can you let her rest in my room instead of Pikuna's please?" he asked gently.

Bastet smiled at his request and responded.

"Sure thing." then she went inside.

"I'm going to go change too, I'm soaked...Do you want me to come in the leaving room after that?" Leo asked looking at his mother.

"Fine by me." was the only thing that she responded to him going inside the house too.

Leo sighed seeing this.

"What's with everyone today? It's like it is my fault that all thishappened...even though...in a way... It is my fault..." Leo thought while going in the house himself.

He took off his shoes as soon as he entered and went straight to his room.

When he entered he saw that Inc was there as well.

"How come you're here?" Leo asked curiously the blue dragon.

"Well, when Bastet entered to take some of Celia's clothes to change her from her luggage, Piku said she wanted to take a shower, so I went to change myself and letting Bastet the privacy to change Celia also...",Inc replied.

He was wearing one of his white shirts and black sweatpants.

"I see... I came to change too... If there is something I hate that's being soaked to the bone by the rain." Leo said while going to his wardrobe taking out a simple white Nike T-shirt and a black short pair of pants.

When Leo took off his black jumper Inc couldn't help but notice the bandage on his left shoulder.

"Does your injury still hurt?" Inc asked in concern.

"Well, it still hurts a little, but it's not that bad...I guess Celia has something to do with it." Leo said placing his left hand on his bandaged wound.

"Celia?" Inc asked curiously.

"Yeah, when she made that light making disappear the arrow I also felt the pain diminish when she did it." Leo said putting on his T-shirt.

When he turned to look at him he saw that Inc was just standing there.

"Hey Inc. Are you in standby or something?" Leo asked jokingly seeing Inc deep in thought motionless.

"Oh...no, I'm fine...I was just thinking about something." Inc replied seeing that Leo finished changing.

"Well, if you say so...I'm going in the leaving room...I'll see ya later..." Leo said patting his brother's shoulder.

The dragon only nodded smiling.

"He seems more serious than usual...Guess he is very worried for Pikuna." Leo thought while getting out of the room and going down the stairs .

When Leo entered the living room Francesca noticed the bandages on his arm and almost yelled in shock: "What happened to your arm?"

"Mom, there's no need to yell like that...it's nothing serious it was just an arrow." Leo explained calmly smiling.

"Just an arrow? You call that nothing serious? I don't think this is funny at all." Francesca said a bit angry going near him to take a closer look.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. But it's no big deal really it hurts a bit but not that bad." Leo replied.

"Was it...Clara the one that pierced you with that arrow?" Francesca asked with a expression that to Leo seem sad in a way.

"Well... Yeah... It was her...even though the attack wasn't directed towards me." Leo answered while Bastemon joined them in the leaving room excusing herself for taking so long.

Leo was sitting in front of the two women,which kinda made him nervous.

"It's like I'm on some sortof interrogatory." he thought.

"Hmm, which version do you want, the short or the long one?" Leo asked jokingly trying to do diminish the tension in the room.

"The long one." both tamer and Digimon replied.

"Figures." Leo thought expecting that answer from the start.

"Ok, it went like this..." Leo started telling what happened.

From when he sensed Clara, the going on the rooftop, the battle, the appearance of Ildwor, telling that he is Clara's older brother, of Pikuna going Berserk and digivolving, Ragna and the new transfer student, Lowe coming and helping them to when they came out victories and the ability that Celia used to turn Pikuna to normal.

He explained everything the best he could and after more than half an hour he finished to tell what happened.

"And that's pretty much what happened...Although,I didn't quite saw what happened with Inc and Celia for the part when we were separated...I think you should ask Inc about it...I'm sure he can tell you what happened exactly..." Leo finished saying.

Both Francesca and Bastet listened patently and never interrupting him once while he was speaking.

Bastet crossed her arms and while swishing her tail she said: "Well this is new...I don't think Clara ever mentioned that she had a brother till now...are you sure that's what this Ildwor guy said?"

"Yeah, I'm sure about it...I heard him clearly when he said it...plus both of them have red eyes, so that can be another proof." Leo replied.

"Well, at least now we know why Pikuna is acting like this...who would have thought that this Ildwor was the same Clerimon from back then and Clara's brother nonetheless. Must have been quite the shock for her." Francesca said worried.

"Well, I would have been surprised if she wasn't...",Bastet continued.

"That guy is really something...He has strength to spare and has incredible stamina...I mean he throw Pikuna's evolved form like it was nothing. The only thing I don't get is what does he want? And why has he returned after so many years out of the blue."

"That's a very good question...and one that can know the answer is Clara herself...I'm sure of it." Francesca pointed out.

"Maybe...but how are you supposed to ask her? I mean it's not like she will spit out information friendly." Leo replied.

"That's true...I guess the best thing for now is talk with Biagio or Ragna and see what they have to say in the matter. After all, you did say that Ragna came to give you a hand, right?" Bastet asked Leo.

He nodded to her and then he remembered something that he heard: "Oh yeah, if memory serves me correct I do remember Ragna calling out Ildwor like he knew him and the Clerimon after a while recognized Ragna too."

Both Bastet and Francesca looked at each other for a second a bit confused.

Neither one of them knew about this little detail and thought that as soon as they meet Ragna they will ask for some explanations.

"Is something wrong?" Leo asked seeing the two act strangely.

"Oh, it's nothing honey...Well, you can go if you want since you told us what happened. Your dad and Ignis will be home later this evening..." Francesca said smiling at him.

Leo admitted that sometimes he was stupid but he knew when a person tries to change the subject.

He decided to let it pass though since he knees that they wouldn't tell him a thing.

"What were you guys doing at work anyway?" he asked curiously.

"Patrolling. Since the attack of the Clerimon's nothing that interesting happened till now." Bastet replied.

"But there is something I don't get...if D.W.O.S has the technology to track down every Digimon that enters the real world...and Digimon can sense them when they enter if they are near by...then why was I the only one that sensed Clara on the rooftop? So many questions and no answers...I bet they know something about this...but they would just avoid the issue if I_'d ask...but they have to answer me at least this."_ he thought looking at his mother and Bastet.

"Can I ask you girls something?" Leo asked seriously.

"Sure." Francesca answered.

"Shoot." Bastet said making a shooting motion with her claws like having a gun.

"What's it about?" Francesca continued.

"It's about Celia." Leo replied simply.

Both of them looked at him a bit weird when he said that.

"Why the sudden interest?" Bastet asked him grinning.

"It's not what you think...Well, there is a thing I don't understand...you said that Clerimon's are one of the most dangerous Digimon to humans and D.W.O.S, but yet she was part of the team and a secret agent no less...why?" asked curiously at them.

"Well, to tell you the truth honey it was us who brought her to the team in the first place..." Francesca said seriously to him.

"YOU WHAT?" Leo basically yelled at her shocked.

"What she says is true." Bastet said approving her tamer's statement.

"But...but...but...why?" Leo asked still not believing what he just heard.

"Well, it's kind of long to explain everything...but I'll try to sum it up for you...You see...We found her not long after the incident with Pikuna happened those years a go...We were sent out on a mission to track down Ildwor...as you said he was called...but try as we might...we hadn't got any chance in finding him...but we ended up in getting in a little trouble." Francesca said laughing a little at the end.

"What kind of trouble?" Leo asked curiously.

"Well, while we were searching for Ildwor at a certain point we saw a small white dragoness coming running for her life towards us with two Clerimon's on her tail. She hid behind me and seemed very afraid... It was then when I recognized that she was a Clerimon as well...She was wounded pretty badly and seemed like she would have fainted in any second...The two Clerimon asked us to hand her over to them...Maybe we would have agreed if the situation was different...but the way we saw it...it didn't seem that those two had good intentions with her so we disagreed and in the end we fought them and kicked they're ass big time..." said Bastet grinning at the end remembering the scene.

"Bastet and Ignis are really strong that's for sure...I mean they can defeat Megas like they are nothing without even the need to digivolve...where we on the other hand couldn't handle __those two even with Celia on our side...I wonder if it's us that are to weak or them too_ strong..._" Leo thought for a second then continued the conversation: "Did she tell you why she was chased in the first place?"

"She said she didn't know either... The only thing she did say though is that her mother was killed while trying to protect her and giving her a chance to escape." Francesca responded.

"Her mother was killed? By one of the same race?" Leo asked surprised at this.

Both tamer and Digimon nodded without saying a word.

At that point Leo clenched his fists in anger.

"They're unbelievable...to come to the point where they kill even each other...how much low can they strike?"

"As long as they get what they want they will do everything ,that's for sure." his mother responded.

"And what happened after you finished those two?" Leo asked so they would continue the story.

"The problem was that we didn't know what to do...even though she was a Clerimon... we couldn't let the poor thing there in the condition she was...at first we thought to bring her home...but we immediately reconsider it...cause seeing what happened that time...we didn't knew how you two would have reacted...so we had only the other option even though it was the riskier..." his mother continued.

"And that was taking her to D.W.O.S., right?" Leo asked.

Bastet nodded to him and continued: "Yep, that right...what we were afraid was how Biagio would have reacted...You know how he is right? Not to mention that we didn't succeed in our task and furthermore we were bringing back a Clerimon with us... We met with him in private cause we didn't want the others of the organization to know of her yet... Surprisingly, he took it quite well...he wasn't that happy but still he decided to take her in... She wasn't that alone though...Clara was still in the team back then..."

"So they know each other?" Leo asked interrupting her when he heard the last statement.

"They sure do...In fact, Celia considered Clara like her big sister and always admired her...I think one if the reasons she wanted to become a secret agent was because Clara was one herself." Francesca answered him.

"Well that will explain why Celia knew so much about her that time. But I wonder what Clarameant when she said that she came for Celia today on the rooftop..." Leo thought a little at this.

"But you said that Clara left the team...Did she ever tell you why?"

Bastet shook her head: "To be really honest...we don't even know what happened to her till now...You see...She was sent to do a reckon mission on one of the Clerimon bases and we never saw her again till now...we thought that something bad might have happened to her...so we looked for her a full month but with no success...So seeing that we couldn't find her after such a long time of search...we could only assume that she was killed on her mission...because never once did Clara take that much to accomplish a mission...Celia took this hit very badly...besides us...Clara was the only one she had as a friend."

"The only friends she had? You got to be kidding me...to me she seems like the popular girl with a lot of friends." Leo said a bit surprised at this.

"Yeah, that's what you think at first but being a Clerimon she like Clara wasn't that well seen in the department...the closest thing she had were us and no one else... but since she met you I could see her very happy... Sure, she acts cheerful all the time even in the most dire situations...but this is different... She really cares for you, you know?" Francesca said smiling at him.

Leo stood in silence for a while thinking on what he heard till now.

At that point he felt like a complete idiot.

At first when he met her he thought that she acted like that with him to make fun of him and tease him, but seeing the situation now he thought the only reason she did all of that is because she wanted a friend.

And he completely ignored her, even yelled a her.

Sure, he had all the right to respond that why seeing the things she did, but the main reason he tried to avoid her was because she was a Clerimon.

"Is something wrong Leo? It's not like you to stay this silent." Bastet said looking at him a bit worried.

"Oh...sorry about that...it seems I have on my mind a lot today...One last thing before I go..." he said while getting up and going to the door opening it slightly, then he turned his head a little to look at them: "Do you think Clara sided with the enemy because of how the others treated her and Celia back on D.W.O.S?"

"I don't think so... She never once cared about what the others thought and did her job without asking questions...she was a very nice person...We cared for her very much... To be really honest... I can't possibly know why she is sided with them... She always said that she hated her own race... That's why she joined us in the first place... But she seemed like... She changed... In a way we are happy that she is still alive...but having to fight her now isn't the best that could happen..." Bastet responded sighing.

"I see... Thanks for your time you two... Tell me when dinner is ready, ok?" Leo said smiling at them and starting to go out of the room but stopped when he head his mother say: "Leo, wait a second."

"What is it?" Leo asked turning to look at her.

"Can you please tell Inc that I want to talk to him later on?" she asked nicely.

"Yeah, sure no problem... What do you need to talk with him anyway?" he asked curiously blinking his eyes two times.

"I just wanted him to tell me what happened when you were separated is all." she answered him smiling.

"I see..." he said not believing a one word.

He knew his mother and could sense when she lied, but he let it go for the time being: "As soon ad I see him I'll tell him right away."

"Thanks." she said ruffling his hear a little.

He moved her hand away in annoyance.

He hated when someone did that and she always did it to tease him.

He went up the stairs towards his room in deep thought trying to figuring out what to do.

In a way, he thought that he shouldn't interfere in all the things that are happening...

"But now that I think about it..." he said talking to himself while opening the door entering his room. "What are those two after anyway?" he said noticing Celia in his bead sleeping profoundly.

He hated to admit...besides the way she acted she was very cute for a Clerimon.

He noticed Bastemon changed her in her pyjamas.

It was of a beautiful azure colour with white floral decoration.

Now that he actually thought about it, he always saw her wear clothes with only these two colours...except for her red bow on her tail.

"Must be a Clerimon thing." he thought remembering that the other two had robes of the same colours.

He then went to the balcony closing his eyes for a moment to take in some fresh air.

All the clouds went away and the sunset could be seen in all his glory.

He liked staying there sometimes.

It made him relax in a way.

For the next five minutes he stood there, not moving, enjoying the moment, feeling small waves of wind passing by refreshing him.

Turning his head to his left he saw something that made him smile.

On the other balcony of Pikuna's room he saw her with Inc looking at the sunset as well.

Inc was embracing her from behind with his head placed on her right shoulder.

"Nice view, isn't it?" Leo said out loud so they could hear him.

He actually had to giggle a little cause he caught them by surprise.

As soon as he spoke they looked over to him Inc letting go of his embrace.

"Yeah, sure is."

"Got that right." Pikuna and Inc responded at the same time saying the first thing they could think of.

Leo was trying so hard to not laugh at the scene.

It was just priceless.

He succeeded to remain serious though and he mental sigh of relief, cause he knew that he had to suffer Pikuna's wrath if he did.

"Hey Inc...mom said she wanted to talk with you and asked if you could go downstairs when you have the time." Leo said looking at his brother remembering his mother's request.

"I understand... Did you tell them what happened?" Inc asked back.

"Yep, in every small detail I might add. Glad that's over." Leo replied.

"I see... Is it okay with you if I go now to see what Francesca wants Piku?" Inc asked Pikuna gently.

Pikuna smiled at him and nodded: "Sure, just don't take too much, ok?"

"Promise." he answered smiling back and started to leave.

As soon as Inc left Pikuna made an incredible high jump towards Leo's balcony.

Leo at that moment didn't know what to do.

He was totally taken by surprise and couldn't even bring himself to move.

She landed exactly on him making him fall down yelling: "WOW!!!!".

"Why did you do that?" Pikuna asked growling at him.

It took Leo a few seconds before he could respond because he was stunned and didn't know what she was talking about in the first place.

"Why don't you enter through a door like every other normal person? And what in God's name did I do this time?" he asked in exasperation.

"You ruined the moment, that's what." she answered back to him.

"What moment?" he asked looking weird to her at first then understanding what she meant and grinned: "Oh, that moment...Well, no offence but it isn't entirely my fault this time... I mean both of you know that I know that you two like each other so I don't see what's with all the shyness or embarrassment."

"Its just that you appeared out of the blue is all." she said trying to find an excuse.

"Whatever...look, I'm sorry ok... Still, it's good to see that your back to your normal self...Inc sure knows how to use his magic all right." he said smiling to her.

She giggled a little at his statement:" Yeah, he sure does...Sorry if I made you guys worry...it's just... Knowing that that guy returned after so many years... "

"I understand...believe me when I say that I'm quite afraid myself...but you've become much more stronger than then...and now we have Inc and Celia that can help us." he said to her surprised that he actually mentioned even Celia.

"That's true...but still he isn't someone to underestimate." she said seriously getting off of him and offered a paw to get up, which he took greatly.

He then stretched a bit saying: "Seriously, you're going to break my back one of these days"

She grinned at him: "That's what you'll get if you continue to tease me"

"Like you don't do that all the time." he said laughing a little.

"Hasn't she got up at all till now?" Pikuna asked going towards Celia.

"Nope, she hasn't moved an inch since she fainted." he answered going towards the bed and sitting on the edge of it.

"I hope it isn't something serious." Pikuna said a bit worried.

"I think all that she needs is some good rest... From all of us she was the one that gave her all... And fainted because she was exhausted."

"Yeah...I have to thank her... If it wasn't for her who knows what would have happened to me or you guys."

"That's true...it's like she knew that she had to attack you so you can turn to normal in the first place."

As soon as he said his comment he noticed that Pikuna's expression changed like she saw a ghost for a slight second.

"Umm. Is something wrong sis?" he asked her getting up from the bed.

"No...why do you ask?" she said smiling at him.

"I must have imagined it...or maybe that's what she wants me to think." he thought.

"If you say so..."

"Well, I'll be going back to my room if you don't need something from me." Pikuna said going towards the door opening it.

"Actually, there is something you can do for me...more like a favour." he said to her making her stop in her tracks.

"Really? And what's that?" she said looking at him curiously.

"Can you let Inc sleep in your room tonight?" he asked smiling big at her.

Pikuna gasped when she heard his request and looked at him wide eyed: "What kind of a request is that?" she asked out loud.

"Well, it's just that since Celia is already here, I don't think its such a good idea to move her to your room later on...and I wanted to stay here too keep an eye on her." Leo explained to her.

The fire cat grinned when she heard this: "Oh really? Why the sudden worry for her my sweat dear brother? Hmmm?" she asked teasingly going near him, face to face, her smiling never fading.

Leo suddenly blushed and crossing his arms looking serious he replied: "It's not what you think... I'm just doing it more for thanking her that she saved me from you're attack this morning"

"Yeah right... Do you think I will buy that? Come on... You say you hate her but I think it's the contrary." she replied.

" And how can you be so sure of that, oh Pikuna the wise?" he asked giving her a annoyed stare.

"That's because I know you better than you know yourself... I mean come on... It's been 10 years since I know you... I think it's kinda of a cute gesture what your doing for her now." she said giggling a little.

"Yeah yeah, very cute, very cute... Is it a yes or a no then?" he asked her waiting for a response.

"Well... I guess... As long as Inc is okay with the idea..." she said a bit shyly.

"Great! Then it's settled!" Leo said cheerfully not letting her finish, putting his arms on her shoulders accompanying her out of the room.

"Hey,wait a second... I didn't say I agree completely!" she exclaimed.

"You're the best sis... I owe ya...I'll see you later when dinner is ready."he said with the same cheerful tone.

"But..."Pikuna tried to say, but Leo slammed the door in a mere second.

He could swear he heard her sighing saying: "Why me?"

"Thanks Pikuna." he thought smiling a little.

Leo was looking directly at Celia, patiently waiting for a response.

He could see that the question had put her in a delicate position, since she looked like struggling to reply.

After a few moments he heard her say: "I don't want you to hate me, but I can't force you to like me either"

"Well, it's obvious that you can't force me... but I guess... I can give you a chance." he said a bit reluctantly.

Celia at that point started to think that maybe he was playing a joke at her or something or that maybe Leo had slammed his head somewhere to her this is something she never would expect to hear.

"What did you say?" Celia asked looking at him wide eyed.

"I said that I want to give you a chance... It's true that you're annoying, that you get on my nerves and that you act worse than a child, but since your part of the team now I just can't keep ignoring you." he repeated saying it a little more louder and firmly.

Leo noticed after he said that that her tail starting swishing and the biggest smile on her face he never saw before from her.

Without warning she slammed him to the ground covering him with her wings nuzzling him to no end with her tail in the air swishing continuously.

"Hey. hey, I said I will give you a chance, that doesn't mean that I'm gonna accept you completely....Can you please stop doing that?" Leo said to her placing his right hand on her white muzzle trying to stop her.

She giggled at him and replied cheerfully: "I'm just trying to show my appreciation"

"A thank you would have sufficed you know? But I guess that would be out of character now, wouldn't it?" Leo said sighing at the end.

"Pretty much!" she said smiling at him.

He expected her to continue nuzzling him but to his surprise she just lay her her head on his shoulder saying: "Thank you... This means a lot too me."

He thanked God that it was night time, because he blushed when he she said that.

"Well, you're welcome... I guess." he said a little embarrassed.

"What hour is it anyway?" she asked curiously.

"Hmm, I think 2.30 am. Why?" Leo asked back.

"2.30!?" Celia yelled out loud.

Leo in an instant put his mouth on her muzzle saying: "Don't yell like that... You'll wake everyone up!"

"You stood up till now... for me?"

"Oh, um...yeah, well... I just did it as a gesture of thank for today... don't take it the wron-" he was saying to her, but he couldn't finish because of Celia kissing him directly on his lips.

He was stunned, he couldn't even move, he just stood there wide eyed.

He didn't know why, but he didn't dislike the situation.

As soon she ended the kiss she tried getting up from him only failing and starting to fall again.

Leo reacted immediately grabbing her. "Hey, don't put too much effort you're still hadn't recovered that much. You should get back in bed."

This time it was Celia's turn to blush ,turning her head a little so he couldn't notice ,but then cursed herself remembering that it was night: "Yeah, I guess."

Leo helped her to go back to his bead both of them sitting on it:"Why...did you that earlier?" Leo asked silently,

"I just did it as a gesture of thank you...don't take it the wrong way..." she said the same thing as him, giggling at the end.

Leo remained silent, not knowing what to say.

This is the second time she's done it.

"Oh, admit it, you liked it!", he heard a voice ringing in his head.

"Again this voice...What in the world is going on with me?"

"Say, but if I'm here,where is Inc?" Celia asked seeing that he wasn't here.

Leo immediately started to grin at her question and replied simply: "He is sleeping with Pikuna tonight."

"He what?" Celia asked amazed at him.

"Yeah, well, I asked Pikuna if he could let him sleep in her room just for this time, since you were already here.", Leo replied laughing a little.

Celia laughed a little at this:" I don't think that those two are complaining that much over it."

"So you noticed it too?" Leo asked looking at her.

"Yep, it doesn't take a genius. Plus Inc was so angry because I attacked Pikuna that time." Celia replied remembering when he scolded her in the principle's office.

"Yeah, these two make quite the couple all right." Leo said getting up and looking at the clock he continued: "I better go to sleep, I have like four hours of sleep till I have to get up to go to school."

"Well, I'm in the same situation as you." Celia said giggling.

"Actually Celia, you're not going to school tomorrow." Leo said seriously to her.

"Huh? Why not?" Celia asked cocking her head to her right confused.

"Me and the others thought that it is better for you to stay home so you can recover... Don't worry, I'll give you the notes of everything we've done in the lessons." Leo said smiling to her.

"Thanks, but you won't need to do that...cause I'm coming tomorrow." Celia said firmly.

"But you can barely move!" he said exclaiming.

"Don't worry, I will manage it. You know, you're worrying for me too much. You need to loosen up."

"Sheesh, you two girls are so stubborn. The same thing Pikuna answered to me when we asked her at dinner time." Leo said sighing letting his head hung low.

The Clerimon had to laugh a little at this: "Guess we don't want to leave you guys alone."

"Yeah, lucky me." he thought a little rolling his eyes.

"Very well, do as you want, but don't expect me to carry you all the way to school." he said going on the other bed on top.

"Aye aye...Have a good night and sweat dreams." she replied cheerfully,

"Sweat dreams to you too." he said diving his face on the pillow relaxing.

"It will be a miracle if I will get up." he thought before going to sleep.

On the other side in Pikuna's room Inc was awake thanks to a certain dragoness yelling "2.30!!!!!!!!!!" that scared the hell out of him.

He was surprised that Pikuna hadn't waken up too.

She was sleeping profoundly between his arms, her head on his chest purring.

He was thinking on how things were starting to go slowly out of hand.

First thing there is this Clara that attacks them at there school and with her there is also Ildwor, the same Clerimon that attacked Pikuna all those years a go.

It was obvious that those two are after Leo and if things go like this he will start to figure out that something is going on, if he hasn't already though.

Leo didn't show it but he actually was quite astute, it was just his character that made it seem the contrary.

The only thing he feared was the fact that if Leo found out what he was on his own without Inc or the others telling him he might lose his temper and go in rage just like when he awakened his powers, attacking everything on sight, be it friend or foe.

Not to mention that he might not trust no one any of them any more after that.

"But what can we do?" Inc thought in frustration a little.

They're options were limited.

He just didn't understand why didn't they tell Leo what he was at the very beginning.

It would have had made things a lot more easier.

There must be some reason, but try as he might, Inc couldn't think what it was.

Neither Sebastian,Francesca nor they're Digimon told him why when he talked with them later that day, maybe because they don't know it themselves, even though it was kind of hard to believe.

"Leo, can you please explain what happened without me please?" Inc asked his brother kindly looking at him.

He was worried for Pikuna and he knew that to actually tell them what happened would take a while.

Leo smiled at his request and went towards his brother getting nearer so he could whisper to him: "Sure thing...don't worry about it...just stay by her side as much as you can...Right now she needs you to be there for her."

Inc smiled back and nodded saying a simple "Thanks" going in the house himself.

As soon as he entered he went straight upstairs towards Pikuna's room.

The door was opened and he could seeing her sitting on the edge of the bed with the same expression of sorrow as before.

He made a mental sigh seeing this.

"You know Piku, continuing feeling bad like this won't get you nowhere. What happened, happened." Inc said sitting by her side.

"Yeah,but what if Celia hadn't showed up. Who knows what might have happened to you guys.", Pikuna replied a bit harshly at him.

Inc looked a but amazed at this.

Very rarely did she yell at him.

This was more serious than he thought.

"Sorry." she then said hanging her head low.

"It's nothing. I understand if your mad Piku, but actually, it's not interiorly your fault for going berserk." Inc said smiling at her.

"Huh?" Pikuna replied not understanding what he meant.

"Sorry to interrupt you two... I just came to take something to change Celia seeing that her stuff is here." Bastet said entering in the room with Celia between her arms.

"I'm going to take a shower... Come back to my room after a while, ok?", Pikuna said whispering to Inc's ear.

"Sure, but why all of the sudden?" he asked her but she got up and leaved without saying a word.

Bastet looked towards the door a bit worried: "What exactly happened to her? In all the years she's been with us, she very rarely did act so coldly."

"Well, Leo will explain to you what happened and you'll understand." Inc said getting up and going out of the door himself.

"Man, kids these days." Bastet said sighing.

Inc went to his room to change himself.

He was surprised that his phone still was in one piece after the battle and all the rain it took.

At a certain point he heard the door open and turning to look he saw Leo looking at him smiling.

"How come you're here?" Leo asked curiously the blue dragon.

"Well, when Bastet entered to take some of Celia's clothes to change her from her luggage, Piku said she wanted to take a shower, so I went to change myself, letting Bastet the privacy to change Celia also..." Inc replied.

"I see... I came to change too... If there is something I hate that's being soaked to the bone by the rain." Leo said while going to his wardrobe taking out a simple white Nike t-shirt, and a black short pair of pants

When Leo took off his black jumper Inc couldn't help but notice the bandage on his left shoulder.

"Does your injury still hurt?" Inc asked in concern.

"Well, it still hurts a little, but it's not that bad...I guess Celia has something to do with it." Leo said placing his left hand on his bandaged wound.

"Celia?" Inc asked curiously.

"Yeah, when she made that light making disappear the arrow,I also felt the pain diminish when she did it." Leo said putting on his t-shirt.

"Hmm, this is quite interesting...From what I saw in the battle Celia has a various number of abilities that I find hard that a single Digimon can be capable of doing... At first I thought that it was because she is a Clerimon, but the other two didn't make use of them...which brings me back to my first assumption that there is something different about her...and the only oneones that can give me the answer is our parents or Celia herself." Inc thought remembering that white light from Celia's paws.

"Hey Inc, are you in standby or something?" Leo asked jokingly seeing Inc deep in thought motionless.

"Oh...no,I'm fine...I was just thinking about something." Inc replied seeing that Leo finished changing.

"Well, if you say so...I'm going in the leaving room...I'll see ya later..." Leo said patting his brother's shoulder.

The dragon only nodded smiling.

"But what if he heals fast himself just like Pikuna and Celia didn't do anything... They did saythat Leo could do basically anything once he awakened his power." Inc wondered a little at this.

After all, Leo is the strongest one amongst them.

At least that was what he was told.

"Guess I'll have to wait and see for myself when the time will come." Inc said to himself leaving the room as well.

In the corridor he saw Bastet caring Celia going in the opposite direction as him.

"Where are you taking her?" Inc asked a bit curios at the cat Digimon.

"In your room." Bastet responded simply smiling at him.

"Why on earth there?"

"Because Leo asked me to do it."

"Leo? Well that's a bit unexpected." he said this a bit amazed.

" I agree with you on that part! Well I better hurry... Those two are already waiting for me... Take care of Pikuna." Bastet said while going towards his and Leo's room.

"Sure." Inc replied to her.

"Everyone sure is in a hurry today"

When he entered Pikuna's room he saw that nowhere was there.

"Guess she didn't finish yet. Oh well." he said starting to leave only to finish bumping into Pikuna at the entrance.

"You're here early." Pikuna said smiling at him.

Inc blushed when he saw that only a red towel was covering her body.

"Y-y-yeah... so it seems... S-s-sorry about it... I'll come back later once you've changed then." Inc replied a bit timidly before starting to leave only finding Pikuna stopping him by gripping his right paw.

"Nah, it's ok... Actually... I was wondering. .. If you could could give me a hand in grooming my fur. My back usually is the most difficult part." Pikuna asked a bit shyly.

"Well I don't know... I never tried so I wouldn't want to mess your fur or anything." Inc replied looking towards her.

"Pleeeeeease!" Pikuna pleaded him making her big cat like eyes.

Inc couldn't help but smile on how cute she was when she did that.

How could a person say no seeing this.

"Ok, ok, you win..." he said giving up.

Pikuna meowed happily hearing this.

She accompanied him inside and gave him a brush she used especially for her fur.

"Correct me if I'm wrong.... But shouldn't you dry your-", Inc started to say but stopped in mid sentence when Pikuna started to emit heat from her body making her fur dry in mere seconds, a bit of steam could be seen because of the water on her fur vaporized. "-fur first." Inc finished slowly smirking a little at this: "But I guess that works too."

Pikuna giggled a little: " Well, I'm not a firecat for nothing."

They both sat on the edge of the bed Pikuna revealing her back to him saying: "Just go slowly and move gently with it... otherwise it stuck sometimes and hurts like hell when trying to unplug it... Ok?" Pikuna explained to him turning her head little to look at him.

"Very well, I'll try... " he replied starting to brush just like she told him to.

Pikuna couldn't help but purr and make a relaxing sigh when he starting brushing, meaning that he was doing well so far.

"Man Incy, you're a natural at this...I think I'll make you groom me from now one... If that's ok with you." she said giggling a little.

"Thanks... I guess I can do that." Inc said blushing a little.

"What did you mean that it wasn't my fault back then?" Pikuna asked curiously.

Inc stopped brushing for a second.

"Well, you could consider it a bit Leo's fault.",

Then started brushing again as soon as he finished the phrase.

"What fault does Leo have in any of this?" Pikuna asked amazed at this accusation.

"It's not something he does it on purpose... You see, since he just awakened his powers and doesn't even acknowledge of it, that means that he can't even control it... And that means that you can't control it either... This causing you to go berserk... The same thing can happen to me too if I don't control my temper... Ant the only way to make us back to normal is to be drawn of energy... That's why Celia attacked you." Inc explained to her in a very descriptive manner.

"So that means that we can't loose our cool otherwise we go berserk and attack everyone?", the firecat said with a saddened tone.

"More or less... At least till Leo doesn't acknowledge his power and learns to use it... But who knows when that will happen..." Inc replied not mentioning that this can also put they're health at risk, buy he thought that it was best if he didn't tell Pikuna about this.

He didn't want to worry her more that she already was.

"I don't know how am I going to do that... I usually get very easily fired up... And just seeing that Clerimon makes my blood boil." Pikuna said with a tone of anger at the end.

Inc didn't know what to say to this.

He knew that Pikuna was easy to anger now and then and if that guy will continue showing out this might be a problem.

While thinking at this he could sense a bit of trembling on the brush.

Looking more attentively he could see that the source was Pikuna herself.

She was shivering.

"I'm scared Incy... What am I supposed to do if the same thing as today happens again to me??? What if I digivolve in something more dangerous than my ultimate form?" Pikuna asked frightened.

Seeing this Inc hugged her without a second thought and said gently: " Hey, don't worry Piku, its not that if you get angry a little you will go berserk immediately... To do what you just did today needs a lot of anger and hatred... And if it happens again... Leo, Celia and especially I will help to make you regain your senses..."

"That's what I'm afraid of... I don't want to fight you guys... If something happened to you guys because of me I couldn't forgive myself..." Pikuna said starting to cry a little.

"You know as well as I do that no one of us will take blame on you if something happens... And I promise you if that guy shows up again, I'll show him he messes with the wrong guy... You just need to relax Piku... You're putting to much stress on yourself because of all this... What will happen, will happen... And we will make it through somehow... You have my word... And I'm sure Leo and Celia will help us too." Inc continued nuzzling her on the cheek.

"So cheer up for me a little will you?" he asked pleading her.

"It's not easy for me... But I guess I can try... For you..." she said smiling at him.

"Glad I finally made some progress." he said happily to her big smiling.

Without warning Pikuna got near him and planted a small kiss on his muzzle making him blush furiously.

"Thanks Incy, sometimes I wonder what would I do without you." Pikuna said gently to him nuzzling him.

"I'm glad I can be by your side." Inc replied to her nuzzling back.

For the next 10 minutes Inc finished brushing her back, arms and tail.

For the rest he let Pikuna take care of it herself.

To let her some privacy he went out on the balcony in the room, seeing the sun that was starting to sent.

He made a small sigh why looking at the view.

He said to Pikuna that she should relax but he couldn't do that at the moment.

There was too much on his mind.

For the first years they passed a normal life with no problems or what so ever.

But now everything was falling apart.

He knew that they would be tracked down and be attacked, but he didn't think it would happen all this so suddenly, especially having to face strong opponents like those Clerimon. The question that came spontaneous to him now was what will happen from now on.

"What are you thinking about?" Pikuna asked him making him jump a little from fright not noticing that she was there right beside him.

"Nothing special... Just enjoying the view." he lied.

After Pikuna had finished brushing her fur she pulled on a red, strapless pullover and black shorts.

"Well, if you say so... It just seemed that you were spaced out." she replied back to him looking at the sunset herself.

"It kinda relaxes you, doesn't it?"

Inc smiled and hugged her from behind placing his head on her right shoulder.

"Yeah, it sure does..." Inc replied to her.

They stood like that for some time, enjoying the moment.

At that point Inc wanted that that moment would last forever.

No worries, no problems, and he had the person he cared the most right there along side him. Everything was so perfect, at least everything seemed so till he heard someone say: "Nice view, isn't it?" taking him fully by surprise letting go of Pikuna and looking to see who it was. On the other balcony there was Leo who was smiling big at them.

Inc replied saying the first thing that came in mind: "Yeah, sure is." and to his surprise Pikuna said "Got that right" at the same time.

"Hey Inc... mom said she wanted to talk with you and asked if you could go downstairs when you have the time" Leo said looking at his brother remembering his mother's request.

"I understand... Did you tell them what happened?" Inc asked back.

"Yep, in every small detail I might add. Glad that's over." Leo replied.

" I see... Is it okay with you if I go now to see what Francesca wants Piku?" Inc asked Pikuna gently.

Pikuna smiled at him and nodded:"Sure, just don't take too much, ok?"

"Promise." he answered smiling back and started to leave.

As soon as he left Pikuna's room he could here a smash and Leo yelling "Wow!!!".

Inc smiled at this and shook his head: "Leo will be always Leo."

To tell the truth he didn't want to leave Pikuna's side at that moment, but he thought that this is was a great opportunity to have some answers.

And what better persons to ask than Francesca and Bastet.

When he reached the door he heard from inside presumably Francesca's voice: "Our tracers didn't even localize them... How's that possible? But he on the other hand sensed her."

"Well, you know they can sense one another." another one answered, without doubt it was Sebastian's voice.

"Then why didn't Pikuna sense her too? She's the best Digimon out there that can detect them."

A third one asked back, which was Bastet.

"Maybe you didn't understand what I meant with one another." Sebastian replied back.

Inc opened the door seeing Ignis greeting him as soon as he entered: "Hey Inc, how's it going?"

" I've seen better days to be honest...Leo said that you wanted to talk to me." Inc said looking at Francesca getting her attention.

"Yeah, we need to discuss a little... It seems things are getting a little bit complicated." Francesca replied to him.

"Tell me about it... I wouldn't be surprised if they would attack us while we are on a bus or something." Inc said crossing his arms and leaned on the wall.

"Leo told us what happened... No offence Inc but you do realize that you performed your duty quite well today, right?" Bastet said looking seriously at him.

"I hadn't forgot what my main purpose is... But it's all Clara's fault... In any way I tried she would just wouldn't make me pass... It took us some time before Celia and I knocked her down... Plus I want some answers myself." Inc replied to her in the same serious way.

"Like what?" Sebastian asked him.

"Like what exactly is Celia? How can she do all those things?" Inc asked looking at all of them.

"That's her ability as an ADP. Like you have your own." Ignis replied simply.

"Yeah, but neither me or Pikuna have abilities that reach that level."

"Actually Inc, to you it may seem that she can do a lot of attacks and different abilities, but in reality all you've seen is just one simple technique of hers." Francesca replied smiling at him.

"Sorry, can you be a little more descriptive?" Inc asked not understanding what she meant.

"You see, her ADP ability is that of a copycat."

" Copycat? You mean she copies others abilities?" Inc asked a bit amazed at this.

"Exactly... Even though it has some wins and loses... It's true that she can copy and even imitate her opponents attacks and movement... But she can utilize them for a small period of time and it takes a lot of energy to do it... As you can clearly see..." Bastet explained to him.

"But then what about Celia healing Leo's wound? Surely that wasn't a copycat ability."

"Well... That's another story... That trick works only between those 2..." Sebastian said smirking.

" And why is that so?", the Incendramon asked curios at this.

"The two are connected with one another... And the more those two get closer the stronger they get..."

"Well, good luck on that part... It doesn't seem that it will happen to soon." Inc replied smiling a little.

"Who knows? We will just have to wait and see." Francesca said to him getting up.

"But turning to the matter at hand... There are two things that took my curiosity... And that's Ildwor and those two that aided you in battle today."

"You mean Massimo and Löwe? What about them?" Inc asked her not understanding what did they have to do any of this.

"That's what we wanted to ask you... What do you know about them?" Ignis asked.

Inc stood a little to think at this.

"To be really honest, I don't know much about them... I know they transferred here today in Leo's class. From what I saw Löwe is quite good in battle... Even though his kind of a strange person... As for his tamer he seemed very serious...the opposite of his Digimon in fact."

In that moment both tamers and Digimon looked at one another for a few moments.

"Is there something wrong?" Inc asked seeing this.

"No, it's just that I think we already heard of them somewhere." Sebastian said truthfully to him then crossing his hands he continued saying: "I wonder."

"Well, I wouldn't wonder that much of them to be honest... To me they don't show this great threat... But I do agree with you about Ildwor... that Clerimon is one strong opponent, the strongest one I've seen so far... But there is one thing I don't get." Inc said remembering a small detail that Celia said that time in battle.

"And that is?" Sebastian asked him looking at him attentively.

"What is a corrupted? I've heard Celia saying it to Clara when we fought... And it sure made her angry..." Inc said remembering Clara's reaction.

"They are exactly what you said... Corrupted... You could consider them as a human that is born with a malformation, or handicap... Only that in a Digimon there is corrupted data when they hatch from they're Digitama... It generally happens because of a virus...or an error in the Digimon's code... Some Digimon because of this can't distinct even they're right from they're left... Or if things worse they act in a primal and savage way... But there are some exceptions when the corrupted data of the Digimon make them special... Granting them unique abilities and not touching they're intelligence... Some say that these Digimon are blessed by Yggdrasil... Although they consider it more a curse..." Bastet explained to him very clearly .

Inc was a bit amazed by this.

He never heard something like this before, nor he saw a Digimon with this corruption,

expect for Clara and Ildwor at this point.

At least now things were starting to make sense and now he knew why those two were so strong, Ildwor especially...

"But why did Clara react like that then?" Inc asked.

"Well...That's because many see them as abominations." Francesca said it wit a bit of sorrow.

"The only abomination here is you." was the phrase that ringed in Inc's mind as soon as Francesca said that word.

"The same thing that Celia said that time." he thought remembering that that was what started to make Clara mad in the first place.

"But why? What's so bad in being one?"

"From fright I guess, and because of some rumours saying that they will bring some havoc in the future... story to scare kids if you ask me... But still... Many continue believing this..." Ignis said sighing at the end.

"And this makes them to hate what they are." Inc added noticing all of them nodding.

"But how is it possible that they are working for the Citadel if they are corrupted Digimon? Clerimon are very strict and severe beings when it comes to things like this, so how did they accept them, being also of the same race? If anything they would consider them as some sort of blasphemy." Inc said.

"That's what we don't get either... And we want to find out... The reason why Clara came in D.W.O.S was for this in the first place... She wanted revenge... And to get it she sided up with us... But we don't get why she left us and sided with them... And to how the Clerimon also accepted her... Out guessing is that her brother has something to do with it..." Sebastian replied.

"I see...it's not going to be easy to find out... Because I don't think those two will stand and talk over a drink or something..." Inc said joking a little.

"That's true... But we will try to find what we can... The important thing for you now is to do your job Inc... We are counting on you." Francesca said to him smiling getting up.

"I'm going to prepare dinner... Thanks for your time Inc... If we'll find something out we will be sure to tell you."

Inc nodded: "Very well... Before I go there is actually one more question I have."

"Sure, what is it?" Bastet asked him.

" Why can't we tell Leo what he is? What's the difference between now or later?"

When he said this question he noticed that all of them looked a bit saddened.

"We don't know... They wouldn't tell even us." Ignis replied.

"I was expecting that answer", Inc thought at this sighing.

"Never mind... But to me... There is something fishy here..." he said seriously before leaving.

"They don't know... Yeah right... With all this years having Leo in they're care... Who do they __think I am? And then saying that I didn't do my job... I didn't see them having to fight a damn_ Clerimon that could block you're every single move."_ Inc thought his anger starting to rise.

He was so angered and deep in thought that he passed Pikuna in the corridor upstairs without even acknowledging her.

" Incy, wait!" he heard her say making him stop in his tracks.

"Yeah, what is it?", Inc asked turning to look at her.

"Is something wrong?" Pikuna asked worried getting closer to him.

" No, everything is fine." he said smiling to her.

"Are you sure? I never saw you that serious looking before." she replied.

"Nah, you must have imagined it... Believe me, I'm fine... They just asked what happened when we got separated in battle and that's all." he assured her.

"This is so stupid... I'm being forced to lie in order to not tell everyone of what's going on... __That was always the first rule they taught me... But this makes me wonder if the same things_ applies for Piku or Celia... I mean, if I also know some things that they shouldn't know...then there is the same possibility that maybe they know things that they can't tell me too... It's like_ t_hey're fooling with us..._" Inc thought.

"Hey Incy, can I ask you something?" Pikuna said shyly to him blushing a little.

"Yeah sure, anything!", he replied smiling to her.

"Can you.... sleep with me tonight?" she said the phrase in a low tone.

As soon as he heard this he blushed on the spot.

Trying to find the correct words but the only thing he said was: " Why do you ask?"

"Well, you see... Leo wanted to let Celia stay there with him so he can keep an eye on her." Pikuna explained to him.

" Leo said this?" Inc asked amazed at this.

He never expected him to do a thing like that.

"Yeah, it kinda surprised me too... But if you don't want to, I'm not going to force you"

"I guess there is no problem."

"You mean?", Pikuna asked looking at him hoping what she heard was true.

"Yeah, as long as I'm not going to disturb you that much." Inc said smiling at her.

He found himself tackled and hugged by her:" Silly, how could you say that? You never disturb me." Pikuna said cheerfully.

Both him and her noticed that Leo came out of the room and looked like he was in a hurry, passing by not looking at them.

"Hey Leo, where are you going?", Pikuna asked seeing this.

"I'm going for a walk... I'll be back for dinner time." Leo said going down the stairs.

"A walk at this hour?", Pikuna asked a but confused. " What's with him?"

"That's strange... He does take walks now and then... But why so suddenly?" Inc thought.

"Should we follow him?" Pikuna asked looking at him.

"I don't think that is a good idea... He might get angry if he finds out..." Inc replied nuzzling her.

"Well, if you say so... It's that he seemed a bit strange." she replied nuzzling him back.

"I still wonder what in the world did he do when he went out... Piku is right... Something wa_s _totally off with him." Inc thought remembering the way he acted that moment.

But at dinner time when he returned he seemed the old cheerful Leo.

Maybe all these worries were getting too much on his head.

"Incy, is there something wrong?" Pikuna asked looking at him with her beautiful crimson eyes that were visible through the dark.

" No, it's just that Celia's yell woke me up... I'm surprised you hadn't woke up too... Seems she finally regained her senses." Inc replied to her.

"That's good to hear... At least now Leo can finally go to sleep." Pikuna said giggling.

"You mean he stood up till now? How can you be sure of that?"

"Well, because I know him and he did the same thing when I was almost out cold all those years a go... Plus, wouldn't you do the same thing if the person you care for is in a condition like this?" Pikuna asked him.

"I agree with you there... But Celia doesn't seem that of a person Leo cares for that much if you ask me." Inc replied

"Sometimes appearances aren't what they seem, my dear Incy" Pikuna said teasing him.

"Well excuuuuuse me princess if I didn't notice..." Inc said a bit annoyed and earned a small giggle from her.

"Are you sure you want to come tomorrow to school Piku?"

"Oh please, don't start with this story again... If I said I'm coming, I'm coming an that's final.", Pikuna said seriously to him.

"Yeah, but..." Inc starting to say only to be stopped by Pikuna saying: " If you're going to say that I was attacked pretty badly, then don't, you know that I'm a fast healer... Plus don't you want me to come to school with you tomorrow?" Pikuna said with a hurt expression to see how he reacted.

"Wait, you got the wrong idea... I didn't say that I don't want you to come with me tomorrow, it's just that I'm a bit worried is all. Even Francesca and Sebastian suggested this." Inc assured nuzzling her.

" Yeah I know, but you don't need to worry that much." Pikuna said nuzzling back.

"Very well, I give up... You know, I have to agree with Leo when he says you're stubborn." Inc said sighing a little.

"Well, I wouldn't be me if I am not stubborn now, wouldn't I?" she replied giggling.

" Whatever." Inc replied.

"We better get back to sleep... Someone will have to wake up that Leo this morning." she said placing her head on his chest like before.

"If he will wake up that is." Inc replied smirking.

"We will see..." Pikuna replied.

Leo's eyes shut opened when he heard the ringtone of his alarm ringing like crazy.

Searching for it in his state took some time.

As soon as he turned it off he heard Pikuna yell: "Leo, wake up or you'll be late!!!"

"Sheesh, I got it damn it... I'm not deaf." he said to no one in particular.

"Man, I'm beat... I feel like my body is heavy... I really don't want to get out of bed... Plus this feather blanket feels great." he said closing back his eyes for a second, then suddenly reopening them saying.

"Feather blanket?"

He started touching it and feeling it only to hear some small giggles: "Hey stop that, it tickles... My wings are sensitive."

Turning his head to his right he could see Celia smiling big at him: " Good morning"

"WHAT THE HELL???"

Pikuna almost dropped her bowl of cereals when he heard his yell, making Inc laugh.

"What's so funny?" Pikuna said giving him a angry stare sitting next to him.

"Well, at least now you know his awake." Inc replied joking.

After a few minutes Leo and to they're surprise Celia also came in the kitchen.

Leo didn't say a word and as soon as he sat he slammed his head on the table.

Celia on the other hand said cheerfully and almost singing: "Good morning!"

"Good morning!" both Inc and Pikuna replied back.

"Hey Leo, you know it's bad manners not saluting someone." Pikuna said teasing him.

Leo lifted his head very slowly and looking towards her replied: "Please don't start with your antiques first thing in the morning."

"Someone seems to have waked up on the wrong side of the bed." Inc said jokingly making Celia laugh.

"You don't know how much." Leo replied placing his head back on the table.

"Do you want me to make you some coffee?" Pikuna asked kindly not earning a response from him.

"I think you should, if he snores in class like last night it may be a problem." Celia said grinning.

When Leo heard this he got fired up in a mere second, and raising his head in a flash he yelled angered: "Then who in hell made you sleep with me in the first place th-" stopping himself placing a hand immediately on his mouth realizing what he said.

When the others heard this, Inc's spoon dropped on the ground with his mouth opened wide, while Pikuna looked like she was in shock for a few seconds only to see a malevolent grin forming.

"Why, what did you say my dear sweet brother? I didn't quite get it." Pikuna asked him placing a paw on her right ear.

"Nothing... It's nothing... Now how about that coffee?" Leo said cheerfully trying to undo his error.

"Don't change the subject Leo... You two slept together, didn't you?" Pikuna asked seeing that Leo shook his head while Celia made a sign as yes.

Leo noticing this yelled to Celia: "You're not helping at all you know?"

"Oh come one Leo... No use trying to hide it now." Inc added grinning.

"I didn't sleep with her... She did it on her own accord ok? I didn't notice it till this morning... You have to believe me." Leo said desperately trying to get out of this mess.

"And you don't have a saying into this?" he continued looking towards Celia giving her a cold stare, only to see her looking somewhere else and starting whistling .

"Love is in the air....", Pikuna started to sing making Leo lose his temper completely, slamming his hands on the table yelling: "That's it! You're so going down!"

Then getting up and starting to dash towards Pikuna.

Seeing this Pikuna got up in a mere second and run for it saying dramatically teasing him: "Oh no, I'm so scared... What am I going to do?"

"You'll see when I get my hands on you." Leo yelled back.

Both Celia and Inc heard they were going upstairs.

"I'd like to see you try." they heard Pikuna answer to him.

"Those two are unbelievable." Inc said shaking his head.

"Yeah,but they sure get along well." Celia replied giggling.

"You seem to be back in shape... I'm kinda surprised... With all that copycat doing." Inc said pressing the word copycat.

She smiled to him when she heard that: " Yeah, it isn't easy to use that's for sure... but it's also kinda cool to use other's abilities... But I'm fine now, a good night sleep always does the trick."

Inc at that point remembered something from yesterday when he spoke with Sebastian and Leo.

"The more those two get closer, the stronger they'll get."

"I guess Celia had something to do with it".

Inc smiled a little getting up and saying: "You know Celia, I actually have to give it to you... there is more to you that meets the eye."

"Just how much did Sebastian and Francesca tell you?" Clara asked him getting up herself, looking a bit serious at him.

"I think enough to actually understand a little what you are... It kinda took my curiosity." Inc replied to her.

"I'm starting to feel like a celebrity in these past few days... it seems many took an interest in me... I don't care to be honest... you could've asked me if you wanted to know so badly." Celia said in a non caring tone, her smile never fading.

"I just wonder how much you actually know about all that is happening."

"Well Inc, everyone of us have our little secrets, I have mine... as I'm sure you have yours, and the only one who has the key as I call it to make us say them to each other, is going to be Leo when the time comes."

"She's smart." Inc had to admit at this point.

All she said was true after all, and he couldn't deny it.

"Very well, I won't push the subject any further then." Inc replied to her getting out of the kitchen and yelling: "Come on you two,stop playing around or we'll be late!"

"Coming!" he hear both Pikuna and Leo answer to him.

"I'm really sorry Inc... it's not easy for me doing this... believe me..." Celia thought feeling a surge of guilt at that moment.

But she couldn't do nothing.

She just had to wait for the right moment, whenever that will be.

Inside a giant white room two figure stood face to face.

One was Ildwor sitting on one knee with his head hung low, while the other was another Clerimon looking at him, the robes covering him completely.

"So, you're telling me that they beaten you....again?" the Clerimon spoke, with a very severe and hard tone.

"Yes... but I assure you that everything was going well till that cat hadn't gone mad and Ragna hadn't showed up." Ildwor responded to him in a very well mannered way.

"These are mere details Ildwor, I want facts, how is it that you can't take out a damned human?" he replied yelling at him.

"He is very well guarded sir by those 3 Digimon...they are stronger than they look...even that cat was a bit of a problem...and she was just in her ultimate form."

"Wasn't that Digimon the same one we ordered you to kill all those years a go...what was her name again... Delta?"

"Yes...well in way that is...that is her code name...her true name is Pikuna"

When he finished saying this he heard the other Clerimon gasp a little and asking him immediately: "Did you say her name is Pikuna?"

"Umm...yes...at least,that's what the others call her..." Ildwor replied not understanding what the fuss was about.

"What those she look like exactly?", he asked with a tone of curiosity.

"A cat with yellow fur, red eyes, orange hair ,a lion like tail and uses a scythe when she fights." Ildwor replied trying to tell her description the best he could.

He noticed that the other Clerimon was getting near him and without warning he took him from the neck,raising him like a feather: "You idiot, why didn't you tell me this in the first place?"

"What are you talking about?" Ildwor replied trying to release himself but he couldn't as hard as he tried.

"You almost ruined everything without even acknowledging it." the Clerimon said throwing him to the ground: "It's a good thing you didn't kill her... we are having a slight change of plans...forget the boy, you're objective is to capture that Digimon...alive"

"But why the sudden interest-",Ildwor started to ask only to be stopped by the other Clerimon saying: "That's an order."

"Very well...I'll stick to the plan then." Ildwor replied not understanding what the hell was going on.

First they ask to kill her, now to capture her, they should make up they're damn mind.

Outside the room near the door Clara was there listening to everything very clearly.

She smiled a little and said: "Interesting." then starting leaving,forming a digital gate entering in it and disappearing.
