Earlier this morning, L.J and DemiMeramon were attacked by a wild Digimon and in order to save his Tamer, DemiMeramon Digivolved into Flamemon, his Rookie form. This event alone was unexpected, but there was something else that had happened that L.J didn’t expect either. After defeating the wild Digimon, Flamemon deleted it, absorbing its data and L.J view this as an act of killing and was actually frightened of his own Digimon for a moment. The expression on his face at the time lead Flamemon to feeling hurt and ended up running off.
L.J was lucky though, he had only sustained an injury to his jaw and the damages that were made to the dance studio weren’t recorded by the video recorders because of a strange electrical surge that went throughout the building and he managed to act as if he never entered the room anyway. Instead, it just looked like the room was vandalized and practice was cancelled.
As soon as this was all over, L.J went back to his room and hoped that Flamemon would be there, but he wasn’t and this concerned L.J. It was a scary moment back there but he also believed he should give Flamemon the chance to explain and of course, he didn’t particularly like the idea of Flamemon out and about on his own in a world he barely knew. Rather than going back to bed, L.J went out looking for Flamemon.
Five hours later and there were still no sign as to where Flamemon had been. L.J had literally searched a majority of Western Shibuya, making sure to search the placed that he knew Flamemon had been before. Dark bags had begun to form under L.J’s eyes, dirt scuffed up his clothing from where he tripped over a few times and he was also starting to lose his voice calling out “FLAMEMON!” every so often. He was tired, he was drained, especially since both he and his Digimon only had four hours sleep.
L.J had made it to Miyashita Park and although he was certain that Flamemon had never been here before, he still chose to search the area. There were a few kids here and there, along with parents as well, but they were all spread out and a fair distance away from where L.J was walking the path, or more likely staggering the path. He was so tired and worn out that his steps were staggered here and there, as if he had no energy left and one woman nearby even commented “He looks like a zombie, there is no way that is L.J.” Knowing of the STAR-X group.

Yui had brought the twins to the park to run around, something they seemed to enjoy doing. They were loving the freedom to move around since they got their Holo-Suits, so Yui tried to give them that chance whenever she could. She had packed some lunches for when they got hungry, and had them in her bag while the twins ran around. Pop found a play ground and immediately began to climb on it. "Cool! Look at this!" he said as he went down the slide. Yui chuckled and ignored the strange looks they got. Yah they were a little old to be this happy over play ground equipment, but who was she to kill their fun because some people thought it was weird? Yui sat on a bench while the twins played...but suddenly they stopped and stared out into the distance. Yui wasn't sure why they did that but then she heard a familiar voice and turned around. L.J? "What is he..." Yui trailed off as she got up, signaling for the twins to follow as she ran to meet up with L.J. Loli and Pop both got off the playground equipment, and ran over to Yui as they moved towards him. "Hey! L.J!" Yui shouted as she ran up to him. "What's the matter? You look awful." she said, not in a mean way more in a worried fashion. "Where is DemiMeramon?" Pop asked while Loli looked around. "We don't smell him. Is he at home?" Yui had a bad feeling that wasn't it though with the worried expression on his face. "You need to rest before you collapse. Come on sit down for a moment. Explain what happened." Yui said, hoping he wasn't taken by someone, or a stronger digimon. "Here." she said, pulling out her water bottle and passing it to him in case he needed it as she waited to see if he would explain what happened.

Shi had his eyes closed walking towards the area he normally sat at, he looked at his bag seeing the two Koromon and smiled a bit before continuing. Shi was about to sit down when something out of the corner of his eye managed to catch his attention. Shi saw Yui and LJ a bit away from where he was, Yui looked fine but LJ looked like he was about to collapse from something, Shi remained standing and walked over to them rushing a bit seeing as he was quite the distance.
Shi came near them looking at LJ. "What's wrong?" Shi wasn't there to hear Yui ask that and asked it himself, Shi looking at LJ, he did not look well at all. Yuudai poked his head out of the bag and looked. "Wow you look like." Yuudai wasn't able to finish before Yasuo pulled him back down, Yasuo knew exactly what his brother was going to say and decided he most likely didn't need that right now, though his was a bit worried as he had only felt 2 others, Demi didn't seem to be here.

L.J hadn't heard Yui at first and continued to stagger along as if he was in a blind daze. It wasn't until Pop asked where DemiMeramon was that he broke out of this state and turned to them. The bags under his eyes were quite dark and his clothes were tattered and dirty, but one thing that stood out more than everything else was the incredibly large bruise that started at the base of his jaw line and ended up at the crease of his ear. This bruise was from the Goblimon earlier that morning, but at this current point in time, he couldn't feel the pain. He was too busy to feel anything right now. He went to go say something to both Pop and Loli, but he was losing his voice, the stress and lack of sleep were the primary cause and this was why he only answered with a slowly shake of his head. Shi had just arrived at this time and L.J looked to both fellow Tamers as they spoke, but the way he looked at them it was as if he was looking right through them, as if they weren't even there. He shook his head again when Yui suggested for him to rest, not taking note of Yuudai's half comment. "N-no." He stated firmly, though his voice was beginning to crack. "I have to find Flamemon." He continued, turning away from them and staggering forward again, progressing along the footpath very slowly. There was a slight lip in the ground where a piece of the path had begun to rise over time and the tip of his shoe caught on it, tripping him up and causing him to fall forward, landing on his hands and knees. He continued to remain in this position for a moment, staring directly down at the ground beneath him and breathing rather heavily. He was tired, almost gone, but he had to find his partner first.

Yui head Shi show up, but didn't say much to him since she was more worried about the state of L.J, but she did nod to him. Yui frowned when he refused to rest, watching as he fell onto the ground. She moved to attempt to pull him over, so that he was sitting instead. "Sit." she demanded, offering him the water again. "If you really want to find him then you have to rest for a moment. You are no good to him like this. What do you plan to do if you can't even stand up straight?" she said, crossing her arms at him. She presumed that DemiMaramon must have evolved, which is why he called him Flamemon. "You need to tell us what happened. That's the only way we can help you." Yui said, if he refused the water again she would open the lid and pour some of it on his face to snap him back to reality. "If Flamemon is in trouble, you can count on us to help you. You don't have to do it alone." she said, noting the bruise. "Do you think he would be happy to see you like this?" she questioned as the twins stepped forward. "If there is a bad digimon, we will take care of it!" Pop said, cracking his knuckles while Loli smiled. "We just want to help. Please let us."

Shi was about to do the same thing Yui was but she beat him to it so he decided to hang back, he guessed Demi must of evolved, either that or he was kidnapped by another Digimon which would also explain the bruise but he doubted a Digimon called Flamemon would leave a bruise and not a burn mark. Shi didn't say anything, anything he would say would of just been the exact thing Yui was saying so he stayed silent looking at the bruise on LJ's face, he must of gotten in a fight that much is sure but exactly what happening during the fight, without that knowledge knowing what happened to his partner might be a bit of a problem.
"They are right, doing anything in your condition would be a bad idea, plus the more people helping the faster and safer the job gets done." Yasuo said giving reason for them to help, it was sound there was no reason that all six of them working together would be a bad thing. "Yeah we just want to help, is there a reason we shouldn't be?" Yuudai asked, there had to be a reason LJ was doing this.

L.J was staring at the ground and began to clench his fists against the pavement when Yui came along and picked him up, placing him into a sitting position. Although he was hesitant at first, he took the bottle that she had offered him and screwed off the cap, placing it between his legs on the ground. It was at this point that he noticed that his knuckles were scratched up and his pants were ripped at the knees, one of them scraped and bleeding lightly, nothing too serious though. He placed the bottle against his lips and titled back, a flush of water entering his mouth and down his throat which in all honesty was quite refreshing. He took another sip and listened to Yui as she requested to know about what had happened and he was reluctant to begin with, but when Loli, Pop, Yasuo and Yuudia spoke, it made him realize that that they were right, that he couldn't do this on his own and that for the last several hours that he had been searching, he couldn't find a single trace.
Taking the bottle of water from his mouth, he tipped a dribble of it on his scraped knee and then placed the bottle on the ground between his legs like the bottle cap, but not once looked up at the group, not yet anyway. He leaned forward to rest one elbow on his good knee and inspected the other closely, just to double check that it wasn't more serious than he thought... It wasn't. "We were attacked early this morning." He finally said, his voice still cracking and now starting to sound husky. "It was a wild Digimon, Goblimon I think it was called." He wasn't quite sure but he couldn't be bothered to retrieve his Digivice from his pocket to double check.
He leaned back onto his arms, leaning just where the grass met the pavement and looked up at the group, his face was pale, almost zombie-like and his entire expression read guilt. "I got hurt." Pointing at the bruise on the side of his face. "And DemiMeramon Digivolved to his Rookie form, Flamemon." The memories of earlier that morning began to rush back through his mind until it reached that final moment. "Flamemon killed it, blew it up and absorbed it..." The way he said this, you would think he was trying to hold back tears, his throat was just sore and because of this, he took another sip from the bottle of water before placing it back down on the ground. "I know he was just protecting me, but I never thought he would kill someone. I even asked if all Digimon killed." He froze for a moment, remembering when he had said that to Flamemon and the hurt expression her had on his face. "I hurt him with my words and he ran off. I didn't even give him a chance to explain, I should have listened, I should have just waited to hear what he had to say before saying such a thing." There was slight panic in his voice as he said this.
(L.J doesn't know or had explained to him that Digimon don't really die and that their data returns back to the Digital World where they are then reborn ((reconfigured)), he also doesn't know that Digimon can absorb a portion of that data to make themselves stronger. I just thought I would mention this.)

Yui stopped for a moment, taking in what he said as she thought about it. It sounded like a crappy situation. Though considering L.J. was new to this, she couldn't blame him for having trouble with the digimon way of fighting. She didn't freak because she knew the gazimon were planning to kill Loli and Pop, and she couldn't have that. "Digimon...aren't like us." Yui began. "Fighting is just a part of their world. In many ways it's what they were built for.." as hard as it was for Yui to come to grips with that herself. "Some digimon are peaceful, but almost all will fight when they need to. Our partners protect us, but it's still a part of them to do this." she turned to Loli and smiled, placing her hand on her shoulder. "We are data after all. We can either absorb the data of the fallen, or let it be re-purposed. But digimon that fall, their data never vanishes. It eventually finds it's way back to the digital world. And then the digimon is reborn. It might take a while but that's how it works for unpartnered digimon" he said. Thought he wasn't sure how it worked for them being that they behaved differently, with their evolutions being tied to their human partners. "He may have been hurt when you didn't understand...I know this is strange for you but you have to take the time to listen to him, and he you. If you two don't find a middle ground you will just have more problems." Loli said with a frown. It was actually pretty lucky that there were never any major problems with them and Yui. She mostly mothered them half the time.

L.J continued to sit there, occasionally picking up the bottle of water to take another sip as he listened to all of Yui's, Loli's and Pop's words. One thing that did stand out to them was when Pop talked about absorbing data and being reborn... "So the tiny squares that Flamemon had absorbed, that was data and some of that Data returns to the Digital World so that Goblimon can be reborn?" He asked just to confirm, his throat starting to feel a little better after drinking more and more water.
Loli's words were the ones to get L.J moving again, scrambling to his feet and letting out a huge sigh as he did so. "I have to find him, I have to apologize." He stated firmly. "I just want him by my side again..." Wow, words L.J thought he would never say about anyone had just some how spat out of no where. "But how do I find him?" He asked himself, taking his hands out of his pockets and crossing them over in front of him.
L.J looked to the other for a moment before turning back in the direction he was originally heading, he was feeling a little more revitalized now after resting and drinking some water. "I promise that I will listen more if you just stay by my side." L.J said with a serious and determined tone, though it was soft so only the Digimon with big ears would be able to hear it.

"Well it's pretty unclear what happens if they lose their data in the human world, but it should. Obviously we never tested it out. We just sorta...know somehow.." the things they did and didn't know were still rather confusing, even to them. "In the digital world it does for sure. But it sounded like this digimon planned to kill you and your digimon. Are you REALLY upset that he did what he had to to save you? With many digimon t's all or nothing. If they don't flee you have to take them out." Pop said, crossing his arms. Yui offered her hand to help him up when he was trying to get up and sighed. "Well let's start with where did you last see him. He might still be somewhere near there." Yui said, and kept thinking. "Or he may have gone back to that cafe. Where you first met him. If he's upset, that might be somewhere he would go to think." Yui said, offering some options. When he started walking Yui followed after him. "Don't get too far ahead. We don't need you collapsing. We will help you find him. So don't worry." Yui said smiling, and she meant it. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Loli and Pop were gone, so she would make sure that L.J. and Flamemon were together again. "When Yui leaves us at home to go to school, we feel pretty weak. I would say if you are gone from him for too long he might go back to being DemiMeramon. More so since he only just evolved. And he can't fight as well so he will likely lay low and not pick fights." Or at least she could hope.

"Ya what Pop said, in the end it was just self defense." Yuudai agreed, what was the real problem anyway, if he didn't fight and do that LJ wouldn't be here right now to sulk about it, he'd be dead. Yuudai would do the same if put in the same shoes. "In the end it's better he defeated and absorbed him, if he had attacked someone else who knows what could of happened." Yasuo chimed in, it wasn't just limited to Tamers, normal people could be attacked and hurt, it was better that way since a human could never beat a Digimon in straight up combat.
Shi started following alongside LJ and thought for a few moments, he had no idea where Flamemon would be but he had to help somehow. "If he is laying low it might be harder to find him, he might go somewhere LJ wouldn't look if he truly wanted to be alone." Yasuo said, he might not want to see LJ after that small event.

L.J though about the question asked by Yui, where was the last time he had seen him. "It was at the JKEntertainment building. On the eighth floor. But I have already checked the building and the area around it." He stated, absolutely certain that Flamemon was not there. The mention of the cafe where he had first met Flamemon as Mokumon issued a soft shake of the head. "I checked there too." He scratched the back of his head and turned to the female Tamer as she followed after him, looking at her smile after she had said she would help and felt a little bit more relax.
He took in Loli's words and he had hoped that Flamemon had laid low, but something at the pit of his stomach just told him that it wasn't true, knowing what Flamemon was like. "I hope your right Loli." He stated softly, looking around the park from left to right, looking for any sign of Flamemon while listening to Shi's Digimon's words. "I realize that now and I know I overreacted, I just didn't expect something to be killed in all this, I thought maybe they could just be defeat and then they would be..." He thought about the next set of words, trying to find the best example. "I thought after they were defeated they would just leave on their merry little way." Those words tasted funny in his mouth, it wasn't exactly the words he would normally use.
Yasuo's wasn't wrong, there was a high chance that it would be far more difficult to find Flamemon if he was laying low, but it was at this moment an echoing sound could be heard deeper into the park. "W-What was that?" L.J asked, looking up in the direction to see birds from the area flying off and into the sky, clearly spooked by the sound. It was an unusual sound, a cross between a roar and moving rocks. The civilians within the area looked over in the direction, though no one went near. They all completely froze for a second before moving on with what they were doing.

Yui followed and thought, taking in all the information. Loli was also deep in thought as Pop kept his eyes open. Where could he be? "He should feel the urge to come back...I mean...we do when Yui is gone. Even though we haven't fought it's in our nature to be loyal." Loli said as she walked. Then they stopped when the roar happened...was that a roar? "I haven't heard anything like that before.." Pop said, as Yui nodded. Could it be a digimon? "Let's go see what it is." Yui said as she started running towards the sound with her digimon. ((sorry, tired but I wanted to get something posted))

Shi looked at LJ as he said what would happen, Shi thought for a few moments before letting out a sigh. "The world ain't that type of place." Shi said quietly to himself so no one would hear, after his encounter with that guy Shi was sure this Digimon thing wasn't to be taken lightly, had Shi not done what he did he might not of been standing here right now, the murderous intent was high in that guy.
Shi heard the noise and looked towards that direction, he didn't hear what Loli had said before and honestly didn't care that much. Shi looked at Yasuo and Yuudai for a moment, that was a Digimon there wasn't any doubt, that or a really loud lion who moved some rocks came to Shibuya for who knows why. "Yui don't rush ahead." Shi said running after the teenager, what was she thinking we have no idea what that noise was, for all they knew it could be something on a whole different level then them. Shi was shocked no one seemed to care though, something else had to be at work when it came to normal people and Digimon.
