Chapter 1

"Flaming Blast!" The huge flaming attack came sown like a meteor at the boy and girl below.

"I think it's Time to shut this guy down." The boy said.

"Perfect." The girl said. "Guys?" She turned to the pair of champion digimon that were their partners.

Stingmon digivolve to ... Paildramon

Aquilamon digivolve to ... Halsemon

The hybrid and armoured digimon came out from behind the hiding place where Ken and Yolei were trying to stay alive. They were out late at night, just walking, and came upon a digimon fight. They had been allocated by the rest of the Guardians as off-duty, but they still had to help. They had come upon a Darktyrannomon and a Digitamamon trying to kill each other in the manner they had become accustomed to. They jumped in and digivolved to champion right away before presenting themselves. The human partner of the Digitamamon ran away instantly when he recognised Ken and Yolei, the other decided he felt lucky.

"Flaming Blast!" Darktyrannomon's attack came again, but Paildramon and Halsemon easily side-stepped it.

"Desperado Blaster!"

"Blast rings!" The attacks came together at the huge black dinosaur, but he was resilient and took the hits, just making him angry. He lunched himself at the two digimon trying to break up the fight. Halsemon was away like a shot; Paildramon was not as fast, and ended up under his foot, straining to stay alive. The Darktyrannomon was now easily swatting away Halsemon's attacks.

"Ken, what's wrong with him?" Yolei asked in a panic. Ken couldn't respond, he could only watch helplessly as Paildramon was starting to be crushed to death.

"Angel Sword!"

"Celestial Arrow!" Magnaangemon appeared in the sky behind them, flanked on both sides by Angewomon's arrows. All three hit the black dinosaur and he fell backwards in pain. Paildramon was helped to his feet by Lillymon, and back to Ken, where he reverted to Leafmon.

TK, Kari and Allura walked up to Ken and Yolei. "You having a party without us?" Kari asked playfully. TK drew both his guns and spun them.

"Where's the individual who decided he was better than us?" He asked.

"Your not going to hurt him, are you?" Kari asked.

"Course not, just scare him a bit." By this time the five to one ratio had subdued the Darktyrannomon into submission. They were holding him cornered between two buildings on the dark street. He was looking around curiously, probably for his human partner that was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, this who you're looking for?" Kovin yelled. The others turned to see him leading someone in front of him, Kovin's sword tip just touching the other boy's back. Kelryn was walking beside Kovin, a pair of throwing stars ready to dice him if he ran. Kari touched the quiver on her left side. In the past year she had found that she preferred a bow and arrow as a distance weapon to guns or stars. It also made her and Angewomon look like a very strange pair. TK still preferred a pair of handguns, his preference amplified after watching the Tomb Raider movie. Ken, Allura, and Yolei weren't as skilled with weapons as the others, and just kept one handgun each for personal protection.

"You have no right to do this!" The boy yelled.

"Why do they always say that?" Kovin asked Kelryn as they entered the middle of the deserted street. "Can't you people ever think of anything better to say?"

"Well you don't." He said. Kelryn walked up to him and started pinching his cheek lightly.

"You know what? You're right. We don't have that right." She pinched him hard, to the point where he was screaming. When he tried to fight her off, Kovin nicked the back of his leg with one of his two katanas. He fell to the ground grasping his leg. Kelryn knelt to him. "You don't have the right to justify killing digimon either." He looked up at Kelryn. She brought her hand back and slapped him as hard as he could. The other five people shuddered at the sound. "That was for kicking me when you were trying to get away." He groaned, Kelryn snickered.

Kari nudged TK and then Yolei, making a silent expression that she didn't like how sadistic Kovin and Kelryn were.

"So, anything to say for yourself?" Kovin asked. He didn't move or speak.

"Well, we've fought you before. You were told three times to stop fighting. Now it's time to pay the price." Kelryn said, as she produced his digivice from her pocket. She tossed it lightly in the air. Kovin swung his sword like a baseball bat, but instead of blunt wood shooting it off into the night, sharpened alloy sliced the device clean though. It fell to the ground arcing. Darktyrannomon screamed and reverted back to Darkagumon. He would still be the boy's partner, but would never again would he digivolve.

The defeated pair walked slowly off into the night. Kovin and Kelryn joined the others, Kovin sheathed his deadly blades. "What's up with you guys?" He asked.

"We've been talking." Started Yolei. "And we think you two are getting a bit violent and sadistic. Not just this fight but the last few." Kari's D-Terminal beeped and she moved a few steps away to take it.

"Are you ever not getting mail?" Allura asked.

"Yeah," said Ken. "You two need to calm down. I thought we just stopped the fights, not vented any anger on them." Kovin and Kelryn looked at each other for a few moments.

"Well", said Kovin. "Azuma has been keeping us up a lot. It's been really stressful. Don't get me wrong, we both love him a lot. But maybe we need a vacation. I mean we are kind of young to have a son." Kelryn had testified to it by falling to sleep instantly when she sat on the sidewalk. Demireumon was holding her up.

"You may get your chance, Kovin." Said Kari, looking up from her terminal.
