The Digimon Savior: The Savior
#4 of The Digimon Savior
Ben suddenly got an eerie feeling while in the presence of this huge beast. It came down to eye level and its bloodshot eyes made it look like Ben was staring at his reflection in a pool of blood.
"Who are you?" Ben asked, still gripping his wounded leg.
The creature smiled a big deviant grin showing off his yellow teeth that looked like triangular razors. "My name is... Goromon." Goromon made a small introductory bow.
"Goromon?" Ben still didn't trust this horrific looking digimon.
"You seem to be severely wounded and damaged. Here, let me help you." Goromon made swift hand movement past Ben's body. Nothing happened, no spectacular ray of light or anything, but Ben's wound was gone, his scars and bruises were gone. Not just that, but Ben felt rejuvenated and his mood had even lightened up.
Ben couldn't help but put a smile on his and thank the Goromon for healing him.
"You're very welcome for this young one, for helping you so greatly you will return the favor yeesss?" Goromon smiled again.
"Uh... well I don't...." Ben felt uneasy again.
"Ahh, but for this, if you don't return the favor when asked, you will be viewed by me as very rude," Goromon leaned closer to Ben casting his large creepy shadow over him, "And trust me, you don't want to be viewed by me any less then my friend."
Ben wanted to run away as fast as he could but was held down by Goromon's expanding shadow. To tell the truth, after this Ben didn't want to be viewed as "rude" by Goromon, or else he might be... hurt.
"I will definitely be seeing you again young one." Goromon stroked the left side of Ben's face. "I guess I just couldn't heal this scar, let it be a symbol of your debt to me." With that Goromon chuckled and started walking away in another direction.
Like before when Goromon healed him, Ben felt a weird feeling after the digimon touched the scar on his face, but it wasn't a happy feeling.
Not too far in the distance, Ben didn't notice that a small winged digimon had been watching his and Goromon's conversation. It was Patamon.

"The process won't hurt Leomon, I promise you." Malmamon had Leomon lay on a small bed with a cover weaved from twigs. Renamon was back in the other room tending to Grandpa, Leomon thought it best to get this over with before he told Renamon.
Malmamon brushed her feathered hands over Leomon's chest. "Let's begi...."
She was cut off by a knocking at the door. "Well who could that be?" She squawked. "Hold on a moment Leomon."
She left the room, Leomon stayed on the bed feeling a little nervous. "Could it be Sansamon, did he find us?!"
Ben stood outside the little front door. At first he was reluctant to just going up to some digimon's home and knocking. He not only had no idea who this was, but he was a human. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that Leomon and Renamon had been here. This little cottage looked like a pleasant place, hopefully the digimon who lived here were the same way.
Malmamon opened the door and almost gasped when she saw the adolescent human standing on her door step.
"Uh... hello, my name's Ben... uh, have you seen..." Ben felt really awkward right about now.
Leomon couldn't help it, he had to go check and see who it was, and the pressure was killing him. He got up and went to the doorway.
Before Ben could finish his sentence, his voice halted when he saw Leomon in the house. Leomon saw him too and stopped in his tracks. Neither of the two of them moved a muscle. To Leomon, it was as if he was staring at a ghost.
"Be...Ben" Leomon started to walk to the door.
Malmamon smiled and stood out of their way, good thing too, because Ben shot from the door and into Leomon's arms.
"Oh my god! You have no idea how much I've missed you!!!" Ben cried.
Leomon had no words to express his utter cheerfulness, except an emotive embrace around his small lover. One that he wanted to last forever.
Ben rubbed his cheek against Leomon's warm and comforting chest, his head going up and down with each breathe Leomon took.
"Ben, I swear I'll never let you go again!" Leomon couldn't contain himself.
All the commotion outside made Renamon stir, she went into the living room, her eyes already bulged out tears.
"BEN!!!" she ran to join the hug. Renamon and Ben exchanged kisses on the cheek and nuzzled each others noses.
Malmamon (still a little shocked) smiled to what looked like a happy family.
The three of them sat in the living room, Ben sitting in between them, conversing about their recent occurrences. Ben had a fun time explaining his scar, though he failed to mention the other humans in the digital world.
"Is Grandpa alright?!" Ben asked.
"Yes, he'll be fine." Renamon replied.
Before anything else could be said, Ben got up and headed towards the room where Grandpa was asleep.
Leomon and Renamon stared at the empty space between them, as if Ben was gone again, they held in their panic.
Ben stepped into the candle lit room which smelled like a bath and body works. Grandpa still lay on the small table. Ben rushed to his side.
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry I left you there. I'm just so glad you're alright." Ben grasped his Grandfather's left hand and placed it on his cheek. Suddenly the large hand started rubbing Ben's cheek.
"I'm just glad you're alright too son." Grandpa said.
Ben was at first startled then relived to see his Grandpa awake and speaking.
"How have you been Ben?" Grandpa asked.
"Just fine Grandpa" Ben said still holding his hand.
"Your mom took real good care of me"
Ben froze for a second, "how's he know Mom's here?!" he thought.
"Stay here with me Ben, I don't want to get lonely" Grandpa did his big wrinkled grin.
"Sure thing Gramps," Ben stayed by his side.
Leomon and Renamon came in to join him with Grandpa. All three sat around the old man on the table, only discussing happy things. Leomon at first was awkward around the family, but soon started to feel like he was part of it himself.

Patamon flew as fast as he could back to the cave. "Gabriel! Gabriel!" he cried.
Gabriel and the rest of the gang ran out to see what was wrong. Patamon flew into Gabriel's arms. "Patamon, what's wrong?!" she asked.
"Gabby, that boy, the one we found, I saw him talking to Sansamon!" Patamon shrieked.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. "Where did you see this?!" Flint asked, not wanting to believe this was true.
"They were talking near mother Malmamon's cottage! I couldn't hear what they were saying, but still they were just talking!" Patamon started whimpering.
"I knew it! I fucking knew that little bastard was working with Sansamon! Claire yelled at Flint.
Flint could only stare at the ground trying to piece together the puzzle in his head.
"We're not entirely sure he works for Sansamon" Cyberdramon suggested.
"Yeah, they could have just been chatting" Donny added. Flint looked up in agreement.
"No!!! If that kid really wasn't working or Sansamon, then he would've been killed!" Claire pointed her finger at everyone.
"I have to agree with Claire." Sunflowmon put her hand on Claire's shoulder.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads to Flint, waiting for his opinion. Flint was always sort of the leader of the group, though now he was in no state to lead. He remained silent and walked back into the cave, ExVeemon followed him.
"We have to leave Flint! We can't just stay here! That kid could've given our location away! FLINT!" Claire stomped her feet.
Flint ignored all of them and went into seclusion.
"Flint... what are we going to do?" ExVeemon asked.
"I can't believe it. Ben wouldn't be working with Sansamon... he just wouldn't." Flint looked up at ExVeemon, hoping he'd agree.
"Flint, what if they're right. There's the possibility they're wrong, but we can't take that risk. We can't risk their lives."
"So killing Ben is right?!" Flint shouted.
"I didn't say we had to kill Ben at all. I'm saying we need to leave here... just in case. ExVeemon patted Flint on the back.
Gabriel came over and sat by him. "Flint, what if Sansamon finds us here? He'll kill us won't he?" Gabriel's voice started to tremble.
Flint gave her one look and forgot all about Ben. He remembered his duty, to protect his friends. If Ben was working with Sansamon, then they were enemies, if he wasn't, then Flint would just have to find that out.
He finally stood up and went back to the others. "We're leaving for mother Malmamon's cottage! We have to make sure she's alright."

When Grandpa had fallen asleep, Renamon and Ben soon followed. Leomon was still awake though. He stealthily got up and went into the living room where he found Malmamon sitting in front of the lit fireplace, as if she was waiting for him.
"I'm ready Malmamon." Leomon said. Malmamon nodded her head.
Back in the other room, Ben slowly woke himself up, he didn't know how, but his eyes just started re-opening. The sky outside was black with the only light being the moon, when he looked around the room Leomon wasn't there. Ben guessed he went to patrol the area or something. He yawned and went into the living room. Ben had to find the bathroom in this place.
In the hallway, Ben heard some small noises coming from Malmamon's room. Out of small curiosity, he took a small peak through a crack in the door. He saw Leomon laying on Malmamon's bed and Malmamon placing some beads on his chest.
"What's going on?" Ben flung the door open.
Leomon shot up, startled and the beads flew everywhere. "Ben!"
"Leomon, what are you doing?"
Malmamon rolled her eyes and went to picking up the beads. Leomon got to his feet and walked over to Ben.
"Ben, I'm giving up my transport energy... so your Grandpa will be able to go back to human world."
Ben still had no idea what the hell was happening and let that be clear to Leomon. "What the crap is transport energy?"
"It's the force that let's me travel from the digital world back to the human world. I'm giving it up so Malmamon will be able to open a portal for Grandpa to go back to his world."
"Well, is that a good or bad thing, losing your transport energy I mean." Ben asked.
"Depends," Malmamon stepped in, "if Leomon does this, he'll never be able to go back to the human world with you."
Ben was about to tell Leomon not too, then Renamon walked in.
"What's happening in here?" she asked.
The situation was quickly explained to her and like Ben, she pleaded Leomon not to do it. Renamon tried to convince him that they would find another way to get Grandpa back, but he knew there was none.
"Wait! What if I go with Grandpa" Renamon yelled over everyone else.
All attention was pointed towards her. "I mean, I won't have to give up my transport thingy because I'll be with him, right?"
Then they all looked at Malmamon. "Well... I guess I could just harness your transport energy to open the portal so you would still have it."
"So she could come back?" Ben asked.
"Yes, but the old man can't." Malmamon went up to Renamon and placed both her wings on her shoulders. "Child, realize that you may not ever see him again."
"I understand, but I'm going to do it."

The next morning, Leomon and Renamon were the first awake. They both took a stroll in the gardens.
"Renamon, I want to thank you for last night." Leomon said.
"Don't worry, Leomon. I know Ben would be devastated if he had to leave you behind here." Renamon smiled.
"Promise though, that you'll come back. I also know Ben would be devastated if something happened to you... his mother." Leomon stopped walking.
Leomon and Renamon looked each other deep in the eyes. "I promise Leomon" they kept walking.

Ben yawned and forced himself to wake again. He slept that night in a sleeping bag beside Malmamon's bed, where they decided to let Grandpa sleep for the night. Ben stood up, Grandpa was still snoring, he giggled. His glance was turned to Grandpa's thick bare feet sticking out from underneath the covers. Ben smiled.
He went to the foot of the bed and stared at his Grandpa's feet. They looked and smelled like the earth, they were nice thick and doughy too. Ben lightly tickled Grandpa's left foot.
Grandpa started chuckling in his sleep. "That tickles son," Grandpa was suddenly awake.
"Oh, sorry Grandpa," Ben said blushing.
"Don't be, come here and lay by me for a minute." Ben did so.
Grandpa put his arm around Ben's shoulders. "Ben... I heard you and the others talking about sending me home, and that your mom's going to take me." Grandpa became serious. "Ben, I promised I'd take care of you. I can't leave not knowing if you're going to be safe or not. Also, what if I don't see you again? I couldn't handle not seeing you again son."
Ben all of the sudden felt real touched his Grandpa felt that way and gave him a big hug. "Please, I want you to go because it's not safe for you here. I thought you were going to die at first. It'd make me feel better to know you're safe Grandpa. I promise I'll see you again Gramps." Ben said in his Grandpa's chest.
"Alright, if you promise, and I expect you to keep it Ben, I expect you to be strong and make the right decisions, because I can tell they'll affect more than just you. You are destined for great things Ben. I just want you to know that," Grandpa hugged Ben real tight back.
"Thanks Gramps."

Renamon was really nervous. She hoped taking Grandpa back would go smoothly without any complications, and hoped she would be able to come back. The worrying was stressful so she went and lied down on Malmamon's couch.
"Renamon... you okay?" Ben asked.
Renamon lifted her head, "Yes Ben, just a little nervous. That's all."
Ben went and sat indian style on the floor next to Renamon's head. "Nervous you won't be able to come back?"
Renamon nodded her head. "I'm worried I'll loose you again, and this time forever."
"You won't Renamon, I bet everything's going to be alright. I'm gonna miss you while you're gone."
"Me too, I'll miss you more than anything. Malmamon said traveling to our world will take longer this time since we're making a portal from scratch, and coming back will take long too." Renamon sighed.
"Don't worry, at least we'll see each other again." Renamon turned and smiled at Ben, he smiled back and leaned closer to her. Their lips locked together into a long heartfelt kiss.
"Oh, Ben. I can't believe I'm leaving you so soon after you've come back... I miss your touch." Renamon licked his cheek.
"I know, wish we were somewhere more private, so we could..." Ben grinned.
"What do you have in mind?" Renamon asked.
Ben got up on his knees and scooted over to Renamon's paws that hung over the arm of the couch.
Renamon giggled, "Go on ahead, Ben. You won't get to do this for awhile."
Ben nuzzled his face into Renamon's padded footpaw. Rubbing his cheek against the soft and tough pads and moist fur. He made sure to kiss each toe pad as if he were kissing them goodbye. He gave them real nice slobbery kisses too. He moved his hand along her entire foot and up her leg, tingling Renamon.
Renamon wiggled her toes and Ben licked them each time, and started sucking on them. Suckling on each toe like a bottle. Ben licked all her pads clean from any dirt, so they were nice and hot pink after he was done with them. Renamon couldn't help but reach down and rub her clit a little.
"AHHHHH, that feels so GOOD!!!" Renamon moaned.
Ben giggled as he repeated his process on her other footpaw. He took deep whiffs of her aroma so that it would stay with him while she was gone. Ben pulled her two footpaws together and laid his face in between them like they were pillows.
Renamon smiled, still rubbing herself. "I'm going to miss you so much Ben."
"I'm going to miss you too Mo..." Ben stopped.
"It's okay Ben, you can call me Mom this time." She smiled.
"I now we'll see each other again Mom," Ben said.

It was now the late afternoon, the sun was starting to set.
Renamon stood outside beside Grandpa, holding his hand. Malmamon was in front of them and Leomon and Ben were off to the side.
"You both ready?" Malmamon asked. Renamon and Grandpa nodded.
Malmamon closed her eyes and lifted up her wings, she started saying a chant.
"Wait!"
She stopped. Ben ran towards Renamon and Grandpa and hugged them both. They each gave Ben a kiss on the cheek that was closest to them. "Please be safe," Ben whispered then ran back to Leomon.
Malmamon continued with her ritual and a few minutes into it, beams of light shot from her wings onto the ground beneath Renamon and Grandpa, forming a glowing circle below their feet. Both of them started to slowly descend into the portal.
They waved and Ben and Leomon waved back. Ben could see tears start streaming down both their faces and they completely descended into the hole. The portal closed once they were gone.
Ben started to cry now and he looked up at Leomon. To his surprise, Leomon had two tears (one from each eye) falling down his cheeks.
"I miss them already Leomon." Ben sniveled.
Leomon looked down and smiled. He lifted his hand and rubbed Ben's cheek. "I miss them too my love."

Nightfall was upon them, Malmamon was in the kitchen cooking what she called, "Her digi-world famous herb bread and stew". Ben and Leomon sat together in the living room waiting.
"Ben, do you know who you are?" Leomon asked out of the blue.
"What do you mean?" Ben looked up confused.
"Do you know who you are, besides to yourself?"
Ben shook his head.
"Ben, to me, you are my world. Really, I don't know if I could go on now without you. Strange isn't it. When we first met, I never even imagined our relationship would go this far. I just thought we'd be good friends, but now we're mates. Actually more than mates, we're connected to each other. Don't you agree?" Leomon looked down tenderly at Ben.
"Yes Leomon. Of course, without you in my life, I would still be just the same depressed kid I was not too long ago. You've changed me Leomon, changed me for the better. I don't want to go back to being that kid, you make me Leomon. I am connected to you and you to me. What we share is even more than love. Our bond is like an ultimate force that can never be broken."
Leomon pulled Ben closer to his side, Ben nuzzled into his underarm. "Do you feel this way about Renamon?" Leomon asked.
"I love Renamon. I love her like she was my soul mate, but like I said, our bond is more than love. Our bond doesn't have a word to describe it, it's just us, we couldn't be one without the other." Ben knew this was all true, Leomon meant more to him than life itself, because Leomon was his life and he was Leomon's.
"What am I to other's you think?" Ben asked.
Leomon chuckled. "Ben... I always had the feeling ever since we first met that you were bigger than anything else. I was sent to protect you because you would decide the fate of many lives and worlds. Although I don't know how I know this, it's true, you are the savior of this world Ben. Not only that, but you're my savior as well."
"And you are mine too Leomon." They both laughed and kissed each other.
"We will always be together," both of them whispered. They kissed again.

"MALMAMON!" A little digimon from outside shrieked.
Everybody stopped eating, they could hear loud foot falls from not too far away. Leomon, Ben, and Malmamon went out to gardens to see and over on the hill beside them were Flint and his gang.
"You are harboring a traitor Malmamon!" Claire yelled in her fierce battle cry, "He is working with the demon tyrant Sansamon!"
Malmamon and Leomon turned to Ben who looked completely shocked and confused.
"Malmamon, who are these people?!" Leomon asked. Malmamon did not answer but continued to stare at Ben.
"Give us the kid Malmamon! Please for your sake!" Donny cried out.
"Malmamon, I'm not working for Sansamon. He was the one who kidnapped me and Grandpa!" Ben tried to convince her.
"Malmamon, trust him!" Leomon urged.
Malmamon stayed silent, then finally answered. "Leomon, you two have to get out of here! You can't fight them, you're not strong enough."
"We're not going to leave you here!" Leomon said as he clutched the handle of his sword.
"If you cared for Ben, you will do what I say!" she screeched.
Leomon knew she was right, he let go of his weapon.
"Okay, I'm going to teleport you and the other digimon to safety. I'll stay here and hold them off."
Malmamon, you can't fight them alone!" Ben said.
"Trust me young one, I've dealt with more powerful foes in my day. Now go with the other digimon!" She commanded.
Ben and Leomon went to join the other small digimon in the gardens.
"She's helping them!" Claire yelled.
"Claire, wait we can't..." Flint tried to stop her, but Claire ordered for Sunflowmon to attack.
"SUNSHINE BEAM!" Sunflowmon shot her solar beam towards Malmamon.
With one feathered hand she blocked off the blast easily.
"Everyone stop...." Flint couldn't stop them. Pretty soon they were all attacking. Flint had lost control.
With one hand Malmamon blocked and repelled their attacks, and with the other she readied to teleport Leomon, Ben, and the other digimon.
Leomon and Ben were surrounded by light as were the other digimon. They saw Malmamon repel one attack from Cyberdramon, until she withdrew her battling hand and used it to teleport them to safety. They saw one big powerful beam of collected attacks heading straight to Malmamon, but then she was gone from sight.

Ben and Leomon were teleported to a cave somewhere in a valley. The other small digimon were nowhere to be found. They sat against a wall and pondered over Malmamon was still alive.
"I'm... sorry Leomon," Ben placed his hand on Leomon's arm.
"It's okay Ben, I'm sure she's fine," Leomon wasn't at all certain if this was true.
Ben made a big yawn and Leomon realized it was time to stop worrying and time to comfort his love. Ben was suddenly lifted off the ground and into Leomon's arms. Leomon held him close like a child and even started to rock him to sleep.
Leomon bent to lick Ben on the face and whisper, "Sleep now my world", with that, Leomon leaned his head against the wall of the cave and closed his eyes. Still cradling Ben.
Ben couldn't resist sleepiness while being rocked and cuddled in Leomon's big strong arms. Ben snuggled up close to Leomon's warm and comforting chest and fell asleep.
