thefolder | My Monster and Me...

Who: Leatherhead and Whomever
What: A gator's on the loose and no pizza place can hold him
Where: On the outskirts of the new town
When: Mid day

He didn't care for this new change. In fact, his first instinct was to hide. It had been so long since he went without this for and now...now it was back. And just like that all the old insecurities rose up. Would they accept him? Or did they only accept him on the merit of being human? And what's more, did this just mean they'd go back to casting him out or worse?

Well, don't worry. He'll reject himself you don't need to worry about that. The alligator had already abandoned Duke and Roadbuster. For a big guy he managed to give them the slip pretty well. Guess it was back to being on his own at least until this change went away.

The mutant liked it much better than in the city, really. A lot more grass, actually. And actual flowers. He liked those. The mutant could get used to this for awhile. Soon enough the mutant began wandering the area of the outskirts, enjoying the flowers of every hue and size. Yeah, if only Mikey could find him..

He shakes his head. BWG, you don't need to protect him, "I am used to fighting on my own...the Digital World is not strange to me in its monsters or its dangers."

Uh no Leatherhead Dimension X isn't like the Digital World.

BWG narrows his eyes.

"I am not warning you for no reason. Most Digimon will find little challenge in defeating you, even as you are now. Do not make the mistake of being reckless."

He sighs, "...if you must guard me, can you watch here for a few more minutes?"

The flowers looked so pretty, "It is nice here."

That actually surprises the Digimon, and he tilts his head.

"Yes, I can oblige you for a few moments of peace. They...would not be remiss for me, either."

His thoughts have been tumultuous since Jupitermon's attack on the city, and spending some time in a place like this could prove calming. He kneels down on the grass, bringing him to eye level with the reptile.

"Spend as long as you wish, but remember your partners."

"I shall remember," but for now he wants to spend a few moments here. It's rare he gets to see nature like this.

It's rare he gets a peaceful moment like this, laying in the grass, observing the flowers bending in the wind.

"It is nice...this land."

"I agree, though I have rarely taken the time to admire it. It is...soothing."

The landscape here is so serene, it's like the problems this Digital World faces don't even exist. This is so rare - a chance for his mind to rest and be at ease. Perhaps Dukemon would appreciate this place...

"There is nothing like this in my world," as far as he's seen, anyway. It's all just concrete and skyscrapers and wet sewers. Man-made stuff.

One big hand reached to pluck a flower from the grass. He turned it in his hand, examining it, "A friend made me a crown made of these once..."

"You may find this strange, but I once battled a herd of mammoth Digimon to protect just one small flower such as that one you hold. I didn't even know why."

The memory still stands out as being very unique. To this day, he still does not know the reason he decided to guard it from those Mammon, or what had made it seem so important to him. He knows now that the Chosen are much the same to him as that flower had been, but he still cannot understand just why.

He shakes his head. Blackwargreymon reminded of himself in a lot of ways...especially when it came to putting value on such small things. He replies, "No...I do not find it strange. I have done the same things...except it was not a flower."

"May I ask what it was for you?"

This is very, very curious to him. He has heard little of anyone who would risk themselves in a similar manner to how he had.

"It was a power cell..."

Ok yeah the world's safety depended on removing that power cell but still.

"Did it hold some meaning?"

That was why the flower had always confused him, and had caused him such agony. There was no indication as to why a flower would have been so important, or why he should have had any concern for it. He understands better now, but it had caused him so much grief before, not knowing at all.

"Yes..." he is not sure what details to impart, "It was what connected Earth and Dimension X...there were terrible things there. I had to take it...to keep Earth safe."

BlackWargreymon bows his head.

"Before arriving here...I gave my life to ensure the safety of the Digital World, by sealing a gate between it and the Real World."

Oh man BWG did you live his life because he went through the exact same thing, "...I am destined to do something like that for my world."

"Destined?"

BlackWargreymon's eyes are wide. 'Destiny' was part of the reason he had so much difficulty in his first life, though he knows that is not what this Chosen means. There have been others from the same world, though BWG has not met them, and he is aware that timelines do not often match.

Are you ok, Blackwargreymon? Because he has a feeling that something's wrong, "Yes...I saw a time where I lose myself, where I must sacrifice myself..."

"That will be quite noble of you."

"I almost wish I did not..."

"Do not harbor regret for something you have not yet done. It will serve only to hinder you."

"...you sound like you know this."

"Such regrets brought me nothing but agony in my previous life. They drove me to self-destruction."

BlackWarGreymon isn't one to mince words. He knows what those thoughts did to him, and in certain ways this Chosen sounds quite similar to how he was - and still is.

BlackWarGreymon really does sound similar to him...almost too similar. He nods, replying, "There are times where I have come close to the same thing..."

That doesn't come as a surprise.

"For being from such different worlds, we seem quite similar."

He regards BlackWarGreymon for a moment, nodding, "We are...thank you...for understanding."
