Marcus was a normal eighteen year old guy from a small rural city near the panhandle of Texas and he is known as one of the biggest lovers of digimon. In fact for his first convention Marcus planned on going as his favorite Digimon Beelzemon, not the one from fusions but the one from Tamers, the better of the two in his opinion.

For months before the convention he toiled away on putting together his costume, and when the day of the convention came he was so excited. In Marcus’s opinion he thinks his costume looks almost like it came right out of the show. However, the only thing that he was sad about was the fact that he ran out of time before the con to make the two shotguns.

However, despite this little set back Marcus found himself really enjoying the convention. He especially liked seeing all the different booths, but one stuck out to him in particular.

This booth was covered in different trinkets from all from different shows, games, and comics. As for the person running the booth it was a man dressed as the Merchant character from the resident evil character.

Marcus smiled as he walked up to the booth and said,” hay man nice costume you look really cool.”

The Merchant smiled from under his hood and said,” thank you my friend.” He then waved his arms over his booth while saying,” please look around my friend, and please tell me if there is anything you like.”

Marcus smiled as he looked down at the table and began to peruse what the Merchant had. As he looked around Marcus eyes shot open in surprise, there they were Beelzemons shotguns. Marcus then looked up at the Merchant and asked,” how much for the Berenjena?”

The Merchant grabbed onto the shotguns and said,” I was thinking about two hundred dollars for them.” The Merchant then noticed Marcus’s shocked expression and said,” I see that the price is not to your liking, so how about I sweeten the deal.” He then set down the shotguns and picked up a the small toy gun that was used to turn Beelzemon into his Blast mode. Then with a smile said,” I will throw this in free of charge with purchase.”

Marcus looked at the three items as he thought about what he was going to do before reaching back and pulling out his wallet. Marcus then handed the Merchant four fifty dollar bills, which the Merchant happily took. Marcus then grabbed the three guns and quickly put them away.

Once everything was put away Marcus turned around while saying,” thank ya for the awesome gear man.” He then started to walk away from the Merchant and his booth thinking that was the end of it

This caused the Merchant to snicker while saying,” no thank you for your business, and I hope you enjoy your adventure.”

Marcus stopped in his tracks and looked back at the Merchant, and began to ask what he had meant by then when he suddenly slipped into unconsciousness. When Marcus finally started regaining consciousness he was greeted by a bright light being flashed in his eyes, causing them to squint. This caused him to wave his hand in front of his face, so to try and get away of the lights, and sat up.

Marcus rubbed the back of his head and with a groan asked,” what the hell happened to me.” He then rubbed his eyes and when he moved his hands away he was shocked what he saw. What he saw what seemed to be five different collored unicorns.

Marcus rubbed his eyes again to try see if he was just seeing things. However, when he opened back up his eyes the unicorns were still there.

Just then the unicorn of the far right smiled while saying,” my friends it would seem that we have done it, we have successfully summoned a demon.” The unicorns then began to congratulate each other on a job well done.

While they did this Marcus began to wonder what they were talking about. Just then he could feel something behind him move, causing him to turn and see what it was. To his surprise it was a fully functional metal tail, moving back and forth.

Marcus couldn’t believe it his former prop tail was moving like it was real. Marcus then shook his head thinking no way could this be real. Se to test it he grabbed the tail and pulled, causing him to wince in pain.

Marcus immediately let go of his newfound tail, his mind reeling with questions. However, his thought were interrupted when one of the unicorns let out a cough. As Marcus and the other unicorns looked at the grey unicorn with a white mane it said,” my friends I understand wanting to celebrate this tremendous event, but I think it is time for us to put this creature with the others.”

At that moment all the unicorns nodded and began to walk towards Marcus. As they drew closer Marcus started to back up until he hit a wall. Marcus gulped as he looked back at the wall before looking back at the unicorns as they came closer.

Marcus started to panic, what could he do to get out of this situation. Just then he felt something lightly tap on his outer leg. When Marcus looked down to see what it was his eyes shot open, it was the shotguns he had just bought. Then as quick as he could he pulled both of them out of the holsters on his legs while saying,” stay back!!”

This caused the unicorns to stop in their tracks for a second before continuing their advance

Marcus growled as he then yelled,” STAY AWAY FROM ME!!” This however, didn’t stop them from advancing towards him. Then suddenly he screamed DOUBLE IMPACT as he pulled both of the triggers blasting two of the unicorns, sending both of them flying into the far wall killing them.

Everyone looked at the two lifeless bodies, everyone with a look of horror on their face. Something in Marcus’s brain then went off telling him to find a way out while the other unicorns were distracted.

Marcus then started looking around the room to see if there was any way of escape. As he looked around he saw what seemed to be a one way mirror, like what you see in cope shows, and decided that was his best bet out of this room at least. Marcus then aimed his guns at the mirror and started firing rapidly at it, causing the unicorns to dive onto the ground and cover their heads.

Once thee mirror was thoroughly destroyed Marcus quickly ran over and dived through into a long hallway. Marcus then looked around for a second before turning to his right and running as fast as he could. As he ran he noticed other unicorns, and what seemed to pegasi and normal ponies, all in lab coats screaming specimen louse. This however did not faze him in the slightest and he just kept running until he came to a meal door.

Marcus looked over the door for some sort of a handle, but couldn't find anything. Marcus growled and said,” of course, couldn’t make anything easy for me could ya?” He then backed up as he raised his guns to aim at the door before rapidly shooting it. However, thou this did greatly damage the door, it did not destroy it.

Marcus growled again as he holstered his shotguns and said,” oh so that is how ya wanna play it.” Marcus then flexed his newfound claws as he ran toward and screamed,” DARKNESS CLAW!” He then thrust his right hand through then door making a hole, which he then expanded by pulling it apart with both hands.

Once the whole was big enough Marcus stepped through and into what seemed to be a forest. Marcus sighed in defeat while saying,” of course out of the weird building and into a creepy forest, of course.” Marcus then looked back at the shredded door before turning back to the forest and running into it, wondering what else could go wrong.

Hey guys this has been a story I have been playing with for a while now and finally got around to finishing the first chapter. Hope you all enjoyed it and look forward to continuing this adventure, Catch ya later!!

Marcus ran for what felt like an hour before finally coming across a calm river cutting off his path. Seeing this as a sign for him to stop and catch his breath he happily took it. After taking a moment to catch his breath he walked over to the river's edge and looked down into it, and what he saw made him sigh.

There he was, but instead of it being his normal human looking self it was the character he cosplayed as, Beelzemon. Marcus then crouched down and dipped his hands into the river, as to get them nice and wet. Then while looking into the river he started rubbing his face, all the while hoping that his light bluish gray skin was still makeup .However, after rubbing for a few minutes and nothing changing he lowered his hands to his side.

Marcus couldn’t believe it he really had become Beelzemon, and despite what he thought it isn’t anything like what he thought it would be. He then clenched his fists and with a yell hit the water as hard as he could, causing a large splash. He then repeated this over and over while yelling,” dammit, dammit, dammit!!” Then with one final splash he began to softly cry while saying,” dammit all, why did this have to happen to me?”

Just then he heard a twig snap not far behind him, causing him to quickly grab Berenjena and as he turned pointed them at the sounds origin. He then angrily asked,” come out now or I swear I will tear this place asunder!”

After he said that what looked to be cream yellow Pegasus mare shakily walked out of the brush. The Pegasus then slowly and shakily walked towards Marcus while asking,” u-um a-are you alright, I-I thought I heard crying?”

This caused him to raise his left arm and wipe away the tears while saying,” I was not crying.” He then aimed back at the Pegasus and asked,” even if I was, what business would it be of yours?” As he looked at the Pegasus he started to wonder if this Pegasus was related to the ones who brought him here.

The Pegasus then let out a small whine and said,” I am sorry, I just hate to see anypony sad is all.”

Marcus clicked his tongue as he put away his weapons, deciding it wasn’t a threat, and turned his back to the Pegasus, returning his gaze to his reflection in the river. All then while Marcus kept his guard encase this Pegasus tried anything funny.

As he looked at his reflection he noticed the Pegasus's reflection. He then let out an annoyed tone asked,” what, what do you want?”

The Pegasus silently epped and in a shaky voice said,” w-well I was just wondering what exactly you are?” Her voice then evened out as she continued to say,” my special talent means I work with all sort of different animals, but I have never seen anything quit like you?”

Marcus turned his head to look at the Pegasus and then back again at his reflection. Marcus then raised his hand up so he could see it, he had no idea how he should answer that question. He then chuckled as he said,” to be honest I have no clue anymore.” He then clenched his fist while angrily saying,” I am no longer who I was, and have no idea who I am now.”

Marcus knew he was no longer a human nor did he see himself as the Digimon he now found himself as now. However, he was determined to find out exactly who, or what, he was now.

Then with a sigh said,” but if it is my name you want then it is Marcus, and as for what I am is a Digimon known as Beelzemon.” He then lowered his fist and looked at the Pegasus and asked,” and what would your name be?’

The Pegasus then blushed and said,” oh-oh my, I am sorry I should have introduced myself first.” It then smiled warmly as she introduced herself,” my name is Fluttershy, it is very nice to meet you.”

Marcus looked at Fluttershy for a moment and under his breath said,” talk about a fitting name.” He then turned his head to where he was looking at the other side of the river. As he looked at the other side of the river he asked,” so tell me, why are you here?”

Marcus honestly didn’t think that she could be related to the ones that summoned him to this world. That being said though, he just wanted to make completely sure that she was not a threat to him in any way.

Fluttershy sat down next to Marcus and said,” oh that is simple.” She then looked the same direction as Marcus and said,” a few animal friends that live in the forest have recently been forced from their homes by as strange creature.”

Marcus then looked at Fluttershy and asked,” wait so you are telling me a bunch of animals told you about this?”

This caused Fluttershy to gave a quick nod while saying,” yes that is right.” She then looked at her backside while saying,” the day that I found out that I could speak to animal was the day I got my cutiemark, and found my destiny.”

Marcus looked at the mark, which was three butterflies, on Fluttershy’s flank and said,” so that thing on your butt is supposed to represent your destiny, okay.” He then stood tall and asked,” so what was this creature your animal friends told you about.”

Fluttershy frowned as she said,” well from what they told me this creature is unlike anything ever seen before.” She then started to shake as she continued,” they told me that it was mostly black with a one large red eye, and could travel at great speeds.” Fluttershy then looked up at Marcus and with clear fear in her eyes said,” my friends also called it the “Beast of Iron”.”

As she told him what her animal friends called this creature Marcus’s eyes shot wide open. Marcus knew that name well, for it was the name of the motorcycle that Beelzemon rode in Tamers. His mind was reeling, how could the motorcycle Behemoth be in this world of all places?

Then with a heavy sigh Marcus said,” I believe I know this creature you are talking about.” He then crossed his arms and said,” it is called Behemoth, and I am not sure but I think I might be why it is here.”

Fluttershy let out a small gasp and asked,” oh my, why would this creature have to do with you mister Marcus?”

Marcus groaned while saying,” well Behemoth and I are intertwined with each other in a way.” He then chuckled as he said,” Behmoth longs for someone to ride it so it can control them, and that might just be me.”

It was hard for Marcus to admit, but the idea of taking on something as strong Behemoth was getting his blood pumping. He didn’t know it was because of him taking on some of Beelzemon’s attributes or if was just him wanting to let off a little steam.

Marcus then stood tall and started to flex his hands causing them to crack and pop. Then with a wicked grin he asked,” so tell me, where might I be able to find Behemoth?’ Just then in the distance the sound of an engine running and the snapping of wood could be heard getting closer. Marcus smirked as Behemoth came charging out of the brush said,” well speak of the devil.”

Marcus looked at Behemoth as it’s engine revved as it got ready to charge at him. Marcus then smirked as he said,” you might want to move, this could get really dangerous.” Fluttershy tried to protest but was cut off by Behemoth suddenly speeding off towards Marcus.

Marcus jumped to his right just to barely miss being run down by Behemoth. As he turned to face Behemoth, Behemoth started doing donuts until it stopped when it faced him. Behemoth then once again charged at Marcus, but instead of jumping out of the way he widened his stance so he could attempt to catch Behemoth.

When Behemoth rammed into Marcus, he did manage to stop it but not until after being forced back a few feet. Marcus grunted as he pushed against Behemoth, as an attempt to keep it in one place, all the while Behemoth’s wheels kept spinning as it tried to run him down.

Marcus let out one final grunt before being thrown backwards into the air by Behemoth as it revved past. After Marcus hit the ground he started to stand back up, and when he finally managed to get up he saw Behemoth coming in for another pass. This time however, he didn’t try and evade it’s assault.

As Behemoth was about to hit, Marcus jumped to the side and grabbed onto Behemoth’s handlebar with his left hand and used his Darkness Claw to attack the front wheel. Causing both Behemoth and Marcus to flip into the air and into the river.

Fluttershy gasped as the two landed in the river with a splash and ran to the bank. She then began to frantically scan the the river for any signs of Marcus while frantically saying,” oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!”

Just then the surface of the river started to ripple and bubble until suddenly Marcus, riding on Behemoth, shot out of the water. This sight caused Fluttershy to drop to the ground and cover her head.

When Behemoth and Marcus landed he began to laugh and say,” haha I thought I was going to kick the bucket there.” He then looked down at Behemoth and said,” well looks like me and you are going to be partners.” Marcus then turned his attention to the cowering Fluttershy and called,” hey you can get up now, everything is safe.”

Fluttershy uncovered her head as she looked at Marcus and asked,” are you sure that it won't come after me ?”

Marcus shook his head as he said,” nope Behemoth won't attack you Fluttershy, especially since I am now in control of him.” He then rubbed Behemoths windshield, which caused it’s engine to rev. Marcus then smirked and asked,” why don’t you hop on and I will give you a ride?’

Flutteshy started to fidget in place as she turned her head away from him and said,” o-oh I don’t know about that, I-I could just walk back by myself.”

Marcus shook his head and said,” come on it will be fine, just get on.” He then patted the back of the seat as a way of telling her to get on.

Fluttershy thought for a moment before carefully walking up and slowly straddiling the seat. Once she was in a comfortable position she wrapped her hooves around his waist and said,” o-okay I am ready.”

Marcus smirked wickedly and said,” awesome let’s see what this thing could do.” He then revved the engine before finally speeding towards the river's edge. Once they reached the edge of the river Marcus pulled up hard on the handlebars, sending Behemoth and both of its riders flying over the river.

As they soared over the river an amalgamation of screams of joy and fear could be heard for miles.

Once Behemoth landed safely on the ground Marcus throw is arm into the air and joyfully screamed,” Hell yeah that was freaking awesome!” Marcus then turned to ask Fluttershy what she thought, but didn’t for he could already tell what she thought. From her shaking and whimpering Marcus could tell she didn’t find it as fun as he did.

Marcus looked away and said,” hey, I am sorry I didn’t tell you I was going to do that.” He then rubbed the back of his neck while saying,” I guess I just acted before thinking, so sorry.”

Fluttershy looked up at Marcus and with what seemed a forced smile said,” o-oh it is alright, don’t worry about me.” She then whimpered a little bit and whispered,” j-just please warn me before doing something like that?”

Marcus smirked as he gave her a quick thumbs up while saying,” you got it.” He then looked forward at the forest and asked,” so this the way back to your place?”

Fluttershy gave a small nod and said,” o-oh yes this is the way.”

Marcus gave a quick nod as he gave a devilish smile and said,” well then what are we waiting for.” He then pulled back on the throttle, sending the two speeding through the brush. All the while once again hearing a mixture of screams of terror and those of joy.

Hey guys hope you enjoy the chapter. Sorry it took me so long to do this, but as most people know life can be a pain. Anyways hope you enjoyed and look forward to the next chapter.

p.s. feel free to comment so I know what you liked or what you think I need to improve on.

How long had long have they been driven, and how much farther until they get out of the forest? These questions were some of the farthest things from his mind as he sped through the forest with Behemoth and Fluttershy. To him this was honestly the only good thing to happen to him all day, so he honestly didn’t want it to end.

But unluckily for him the entrance to the forest finally came into view. This caused Marcus to hit the brakes and with a smirk say,” Well looks like we are here.” He then turned to look at Fluttershy, and was unsurprised to see that she was hunched over and green in the face. He then chuckled and asked,” Didn’t enjoy the ride that much did ya?”

Fluttershy whimpered as she looked up at him and shook her head no. This caused Marcus to rub the back of his neck and say,” Oh sorry about that, guess I got carried away again.” He then jumped off of Behemoth and with a smile said,” Why don’t you just relax on Behemoth while I push us the rest of the way?”

Fluttershy looked at Marcus and worriedly said,” Oh no you don’t need to do that, I will be fine.”

Marcus shook his head and said,” Calm down, it is not that big of a deal.” He then grabbed Behemoths handlebars and push it forward while saying,” Besides I am the one who made you feel bad so it is the least I can do.”

Fluttershy wanted to protest, but didn’t want to upset Marcus since he felt so strongly about it. She then relaxed as Marcus pushed Behemoth to the forest entrance and stopped. Marcus then looked at Fluttershy and said,” Well I guess this is where we go are separate ways.”

Fluttershy looked up at Marcus in shook and said,” Oh no you can’t leave yet, I haven’t had a chance to thank you for your help.”

Marcus shook his head and said,” You have no reason to thank me, all I did was tame Behemoth.” He then looked at the forest entrance and thought to himself,” Besides I still don’t know who I can really trust in this world.’

Fluttershy then put her huff on Marcus’s arm and said,” Oh but you have, because of you my animals friends can return to their homes in the forest without fear.” She then looked Marcus dead in the eyes with a heartbreaking stare and asked,” Please at least let me take you to Sugarcube Corner for a nice treat to say thank you.”

Marcus groaned as he covered his face with his hand and under his breath said,” I can’t believe I am about to say this.” He then crossed his arms and said,” Fine, but after that then me and you go are separate ways.” Internally as he said this Marcus just cursed himself for being so weak when it comes to cure things.

Fluttershy smiled warmly and said,” Oh thank you, I promise you will love my good friend Pinkie Pies baking.” She then dismounted Behemoth while saying,” They really are very good.”

Marcus shrugged as he said,” If you say so, I never really had much of a sweet tooth.” He then put his hands back on Behemoths handlebars and said,” Well let's get this over with.” He then started to walk out of the forest, while pushing Behemoth, and was a bit surprised at what he saw.

He wasn't surprised at all the ponies that he saw, most of which were mares straggly to him. However, he was surprised on how the architecture looked a bit like what he could find back on his world. This shocked him, mostly because he honestly thought these ponies lived free range like most wild horses, but here they were living in homes in a town.

Fluttershy smiled as she walked next to him and said,” Weclome to Ponyville Marcus.” She then started to walk ahead of him, just expecting him to follow close behind.

Marcus looked at Fluttershy as she walked towards the town and slowly started to follow after her. As the couple walked towards the town Marcus began to tense up slightly. Marcus had no way of telling if any of these ponies were related to the ones back at that lab, so he just wanted to be ready for anything.

As they made their way into the town, Marcus noticed how the ponies acted like normal people back home. However when a normal pony working at a nearby flower shop noticed she screamed in terror while saying,” Monster!” This caused all the other ponies to look at Marcus and run away and hide while also screaming about he is there to destroy the town, and other nonsense like that.

Marcus groaned as he looked at Fluttershy and asked,” They aren’t the most welcoming bunch, are they?”

Fluttershy whimpered while saying,” Oh dear, I really hoped this wouldn’t happen.” She then looked up at Marcus and said,” I am very sorry about them, the ponies of this town are a bit jumpy when it comes to creatures like..” She then started rubbing her right front hoof with her left nervously.

Marcus sighed thinking he knew what she was going to more than likely say. However, honestly he could understand seeing him as he is now and thinking he is a monster. He did look like a demon straight out of the pits of hell themselves.

Marcus then raised his hand to stop Fluttershy and said,” It is alright, honestly they are not to far off by calling me a monster.”

Fluttershy blinked a couple times before giving him a stern glare while saying,” You are not a monster Marcus, so don’t you ever say that.” She then walked over to him and set a comforting hoof on his leg while saying,” I can tell you are truly a kind creature.”

Marcus looked down at Fluttershy for a moment before letting out a snicker. He then said,” Thank you for saying that Fluttershy, but that is not what I mean.” He then pointed his thumb to his chest and said,” I told you I am a Digimon, which is short for Digital Monster.” He then smirked as he moved his hand away from his chest and said,” But thank you, it is nice to know you don’t see me as a monster.”

Fluttershy smiled at this and said,” Don’t mention it Marcus, as long as you know just be called a monster doesn’t mean you are one.” She then stepped back while saying,” Now we might want to hurry and get to Sugarcube Corner before it closes.”

Marcus smiled as he said,” Then what are we waiting for, let’s go.” Fluttershy and him then continued to walk through the town. All the while Marcus took notice of the frittered ponies looking through their windows while cowering in their homes.

After a couple of minutes walking Sugarcube Corner finally came into view. Marcus whistled in amazement at the sight of the litteral candy building before him. Under his breath he then asked,” I wonder if there is a witch inside like in the story?”

Fluttershy looked up at Marcus with a raised eyebrow and asked, ”Did you say something Marcus?”

Marcus’s blue cheeks turned a little pink as he nervously said, ”N-no, I didn’t say anything.” He then rubbed the back of his neck while asking, ”So is this the place Fluttershy?’

Fluttershy smiled warmly as she said, ”Yes it is, this is Sugarcube Corner.” She then chuckled while saying, ”And no it is not made of sweets, it just looks like it is.”

Marcus gave a small nod and with a chuckle said,” Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it was after the day I have had today.” He then pushed Behemoth up towards the building before setting it outside the entrance. Once Behemoth was parked he looked back at Fluttershy and said,” Okay now remember after we are done here then me and you go are separate ways.”

Fluttershy gave a small nod while saying,” I understand Marcus.” The two then walked up to the front door. However, before Marcus could even attempt to open the door a rainbow streak shot out, tackling him to the ground.

Marcus groaned in pain as he slowly sat up and asked,” Okay what the heck was that?” Just then he was forcefully pinned to the ground by the same rainbow streak, but now he could more clearly tell what the streak was. It was a light blue Pegasus mare with a rainbow mane and tail, and boy she did not look happy.

The Pegasus then angrily asked,” What are you doing here monster, and why are you following Fluttershy!?”

Marcus blinked a couple of times before scowling and saying,” Look skittles I have no idea what you are talking about, she invited me here.” He then flexed his right hand to where it was in a spear like shape and kept it at his side just in case he needed to attack. Marcus then growled while saying,” Now I would suggest you get off me before I make you.”

The Pegasus pushed harder on Marcus’s chest, causing him to wince a little, and said,” Don’t you lie to me, there is no way Fluttershy would do what your saying willingly!” She then leaned in said,” You must have threatened her or something, admit it!”

Marcus couldn’t believe what he was hearing, without even getting a chance to know him just assumed he threatened Fluttershy. He then angrily grit his teeth and said,” Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He then shot his hand forward in a piercing motion while calling out,” Darkness Claw!”

The Pegasus didn’t have any time to react to the attack and was knocked off of Marcus and onto the ground. As soon as he was free of the weight Marcus jumped onto his feet and pulled out his Berenjena. He then pointed their barrels at the downed Pegasus and said,” If your smart then stay down.”

The Rainbow Pegasus then slowly started to raise herself to her whooves while saying,” No, not until you let Fluttershy go you monster.”

Marcus angrily growled and said,” Okay you are really starting to piss me off, with this whole thinking I am holding Fluttershy hostage thing.” He then walked closer to the Pegasus and aimed his guns right at her face while saying,” Now I don’t want this to get messy, but you are really pushing my patience tie dye.”

The two then glared at each other, as if they were each daring the other to make a move. However, their staring contest was suddenly interrupted by Fluttershy running in between the two, forcing them apart.

Fluttershy then glared at the two of them and sternly said,” That is quite enough you two!”

Marcus looked at Fluttershy with shook in his voice, he really wasn’t used to stern Fluttershy. He then holstered his Berenjena and angrily looked away from the rainbow mane Pegasus while saying,” Hey she was the one who started it.”

The Pegasus wings flared out in anger and said,” You jerk, don’t act like you are innocent, you mon…” However, before she could finish what she was staying Fluttershy gave her a stern glare, causing her wings to fold to her side in fear.

Fluttershy shook her head before fully turning to face the Pegasus and saying,” Rainbow Dash, I understand you wanting to make sure I am safe, but you shouldn’t just attack somepony like that.”

Fluttershy then turned to Marcus and said,” As for you Marcus, I understand being mad when somepony attacks you, but you shouldn’t attack them back.” She looked at the pair and said,” Now I want both of you two apoligize to each other.”

Marcus and Rainbow Dash looked at each other for a second before both of them turned there heads away in anger. Which caused Fluttershy to let out a stern,” Ahem!”

Marcus groaned as he looked back at Rainbow Dash and say,” Fine, sorry for retaliating when you attacked me out of the blue.”

This caused Rainbow to groan as well as she battery said,” Sorry I attacked you without getting to know you first.”

Fluttershy smiled and said,” Good, now why don’t you both shake on it and put this ordeal behind us.” Both Marcus and Rainbow growled a little bit at each other as they shock each others appendages.

Fluttershy gave a small nod in approval and said,” Thank you, now come on I still owe you a thank you treat Marcus.” She then turned from Marcus and Rainbow and walked into the bakery.

As soon as Fluttershy was inside, and out of sight, Marcus glared at Rainbow and said,” Okay listen up Skittles, I can understand wanting to protect your friend.” He then tensed his right hand as if he was going to attack while saying,” However, if you ever attack me without a legitimate reason then I will make sure you regret it.” He then untensed his hand and walked into the bakery, leaving a stunned Rainbow Dash behind.

As Marcus walked into Sugarcube Corner his senses were immediately overrun with all the sugary treats he saw. Then with a whistle he said,” Holy crap, I think I can feel all the calories.” He then walked up to Fluttershy, who was standing at the front counter, and asked,” So what is good here?”

Fluttershy smiled up at Marcus and said, ”Well I very much enjoy their cupcakes, but then again I enjoy most of what they serve here.” She then took her hoof and tapped on a tiny bell to get the attention of an attendant.

Soon after she did this a a slightly chubby blue pony with pink hair, that almost looked like icing walked out of a near by room while saying, ”Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, how might I help..” She then stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed Marcus and gasped in shook.

Marcus sighed and said,” Okay listen before you scream, I am not here to harm anyone.” He then pointed at Fluttershy while saying,” She was the one who wanted to bring me here.”

The plump pony looked at Fluttershy in shock and asked,” Is that really true Fluttershy, you brought him here?”

Fluttershy smiled and said,” Yes Mrs. Cake, he helped me out in the Everfree forest so I decided to take him here as a way of thanking him.”

Mrs.Cake let out a small sigh of relief and said,” Oh thank goodness, I was worried there for a moment.” She then looked up at Marcus and said,” I am sorry for acting so rude, it is just I have never seen a creature like you before.” She then smiled warmly and asked,” How about this, to make up for my rudeness anything you want is on the house?”

Marcus smirked and said,” Shoot I think I will take you up on that offer ma’am.” He then looked over all the confections before saying,” I guess I will take a slice of that red velvet cake.”

Mrs. Cake gave a quick nod before turning her attention to Fluttershy and asked,” As for you dear, what will you have?”

Fluttershy smiled as she asked,” Might I please have one of your vanilla cupcakes if you don’t mind?”

Mrs. Cake gave a quick nod before grabbing the pairs order and gave it to them. Now with their order filled the walked over to one of the few tables and sat down.

Marcus looked down at the slice of cake and with a chuckle said,” Well it looks like a normal piece of cake, hopefully it tastes like one too.” He then picked up the piece of cake and took a large bite. As soon as he did this his eyes shoot open causing him to basically inhale the rest of his slice of cake.

Once the slice of cake was completely gone he looked over to see a shocked Fluttershy. A light blush then appeared on his cheeks as he said,” Sorry about that Fluttershy, I just couldn’t help my self.” He then averted his gaze and said,” I have never tasted something so delicious in my whole life.”

Fluttershy blinked a couple times before letting out a little giggle before covering her mouth with her wing. Once she composed herself again she said,” Don’t worry about Marcus, I fully understand.” She then turned her attention to her cupcake and happily ate it.

After Fluttershy finished her cupcake she stood up from her seat and said,” Well, it would seem that are time is up.”

Marcus frowned a little bit as he stood up and said,” I guess you are right.” He then smiled lightly as he walked up to her and said,” I must admit I was hesitant about this at first, but all in all this was pretty nice.” He then offered his hand while saying,” Thanks, this was really nice.”

Fluttershy smiled as she placed her hoof in his hand and shook it while saying,” No need to thank me, I was happy to.”

Just then the front door was thrown open wide and a frantic Rainbow Dash came barreling. She looked around before spotting Marcus and Fluttershy. Then with a glare she fly in between the two and with venom asked,” You, you brought that thing here didn’t you!?”

Marcus glared back at Rainbow and asked,” What are you talking about?” He then pointed at Fluttershy while saying,” The only creature that I brought into this town was her.”

Rainbow rolled her eyes and said,” Yeah right, then come outside and say that.” She then zoomed back out the building, leaving the two just looked at each other before following.

As they walked out of the building Marcus looked at a hoovering Rainbow Dash and asked,” So were is this “thing” you are so certain I brought here?”

Rainbow growled as she yelled,” Oh you want to see it, then look right there you jerk!” She then turned around and used her hoof to point out a what looked like a red dot growing ever bigger.

Marcus glared at the dot for a moment, trying he hardest to see if he could make out what it was. As the dot got closer Marcus’s eyes shot open at what he say. It was a red large insect with four arms and one long horn. Marcus then gritted his teeth as he angrily said,” Oh, you have got to be kidding me!”

Fluttershy looked up at Marcus and asked,” What, what is it Marcus?”

Marcus gulped a little bit as he looked down at Fluttershy and said,” That thing that is coming at us, I know it.” He then looked back up at the large ever nearing insect as he grabbed his Berenjena and said,” It’s Megakabuterimon, a digimon like me and it doesn’t look to friendly.”

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted a new chapter for this fic in a while. Life is evil some times. Anyways I hope you enjoy the chapter, and feel free to tell me what other digimon you would like to see. Thank you all for the support.

Marcus’s mind was racing a mile a minute as he saw the Megakabuterimon inch closer by the second. He racked his brain trying to think of how it could have possibly gotten to this world. Then a click went off in his mind, it had to have been the ones who brought him to this world.

Just then a loud roar could be heard from the approaching digimon, pulling Marcus out of his thought. Then with a growl of his own he said,” Fluttershy I need you and your friend to get out of here, this is about to get ugly!”

Rainbow glared at Marcus and flew in front of him while asking,” Hey I don’t know who you think you are, but we don’t need your help!.”

Marcus growled once more as he said,” Oh we don't have time for this.” Then in a swift motion he marked her upside the head with his Berenjena, knocking her out. He then looked at Fluttershy and said,” You take skittles out of here, because right now I can’t focus on taking Bug face up there and protecting you two.”

Fluttershy looked at Marcus with a look of shock and asked,” What are you going to do to that creature Marcus?”

Marcus looked back to Megakabuterimon and with a small smirk said,” I am going to take this dumb bug down a peg or two.” He then looked back to Fluttershy and ordered,” Now get out of here, he is almost on top of us.”

Fluttershy opened her mouth as if to rebuttal, but quickly closed it and complied with what Marcus said. She quickly managed to get the unconscious Rainbow Dash on her back and began to leave, but stopped a couple feet before turning back and saying,” Please be careful Marcus.” She then began to run away as fast as she could.

Marcus let out a small chuckle and under his breath said,” Don’t worry tots.” He then smirked wickedly as he yelled,” NO OVER GLORIFIED BUG IS GONNA TAKE THE MAIN MAN DOWN!!”

The Megakabuterimon then let out an enraged roar and picked up its pace, rocketing towards him.

As Megakabuterimon was about to slam in Marcus he managed to jump back, causing the large digimon to create a crater from the impact. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity Marcus aimed his guns at the scarlet insect and yelled,” Double Impact!” As he said this he began to rapidly pull the triggers of his Berenjena, sending a flurry of blasts at his downed opponent.

Marcus continued his assault on the downed digimon until suddenly shot up and let out a roar pushing him back. After steading himself again he looked up at Megakabuterimon, now covered with bruises and cuts. He then smirked as he called out,” ya runnin scared already horn head!”

This just caused the large digimon to growl and his horn to begin to ignite with electricity before it called,” HORN BUSTER!!” As it yelled this a large blast of electricity shot off his horn right at Marcus.

Marcus’s eyes shot open as the blast came flying towards him and jumped to the side. However, as he jumped out of the way the blast managed to nick his leg, causing massive amounts of electricity coursing through his body. Once his feet were sturdidle on the ground he looked down with his leg and winced in pain as he said,” Okay that is smarts.”

Marcus then turned his attention back to the giant red scarab beetle and called out,” That the best you got ugly cause I can still go!!” He then aimed his guns at the massive digimon and began to rapidly fire, causing the Megakabuterimon to swerve around to try and avoid the attacks.

For a couple of minutes this little dance continued, much to Marcus’s annoyance, until finally the Megakabuterimon turned and flew directly at him. However, when Marcus went to try and dodge his leg that was hit with that last attack, seized up. This single moment of paralysis was just enough time for the Megakabuterimon to slam into him, causing another creator to form with Marcus as the center.

After a second the insect digimon flew out of the crater and landed on its edge. Then in what seemed to be an act of gloating it let out a hardy roar.

Meanwhile at the bottom of the crater Marcus was staring at the sky above. He couldn’t wrap his head around it, how could he be losing like this. Megakabuterimon for goodness sake, he was a mega level. He should be winning this fight no problem, but here he was laying on the ground in pain.

As he laid there the world seemed to fade as a flood of thoughts started going through his mind. The most prominent of which being to just give up. However, he was quickly dragged back to reality when he heard a familiar voice yell,” That is enough!”

Marcus slowly guided his eyes to the source of the voice, hoping it wasn’t who he thought it was. But all his hopes were dashed when he saw an angry Fluttershy hovering at eye level in front of the Megakabuterimon.

Fluttershy glared at the massive digimon and said,” You have gone far enough mister!” She then pointed one of her hooves at the insect and said,” You should feel ashamed of yourself.” She then pointed at the downed Marcus and said,” He did nothing to deserve you attacking him, or us.” She then crossed her hooves as she said,” Now I think you should go and think about what you have done.”

The Megakabuterimon did nothing for a moment, as if it was actually thinking about what she said. However, that thought was quickly dispelled, as it raised one of its right arms and smacked her away, sending her careening into a nearby building.

Marcus was dumbstruck and enraged, this bug dare hurt the only pony who has been truly kind to him. This rage was enough for him to forget about his pain and stand tall. He then glared at the Megakabuterimon with hate filled eyes and yelled,” You bastard, how dare you hurt Fluttershy!!”

Just then a bright light began to emanate from his back pocket that grew brighter and brighter until finally enveloping him. After a minute the light dissipated by a pair of large black wings revailing Marcus in Beelzemon Blast mode.

Marcus looked at his new appendages, his arm which was now a gun and a pair of black wings, before looking up at Megakabuterimon and glared. As he glared at the larger digimon he felt his new wings start to spread wide before launching upwards, stopping as soon as he reached eye level with it.

Marcus then raised his new gun arm, pointing it at the Ultimate Level digimons head. As soon as his arm was stable the the mouth of the blaster opened and slowly started gathering a purple energy. The energy continued gather until a ball of purple energy formed, once fully gathered he yelled,” EAT THIS YOU BUG, CORONA BLASTER!!” As soon as he said this the ball of energy was fired, hitting the Megakabuterimon in the chest sending him flying back into the side of a building.

The Megakabuterimon groaned in pain as it fell to the gound, its chest smoking from the blast. After a moment the large digimon began to shakily stand up continuing to groan, both in pain and fear. The large insect then spread its wings before taking off into the air in attempts to run away.

Marcus watched Megakauterimon tried to flee and under his breath said,” Oh you don’t think I would let you get away that easy did you?” He took his gun arm and started to draw a pentagram in the air. Once the pentagram was fully drawn he positioned his arm in the center of it, causing the mouth of of the gun to open up and once again gather energy. Then with a demonic roar he said,” CHARONA DESTROYER!!”

As soon as Marcus said this the energy that Marcus had gathered launched as a beam from his gun hitting the pentagram, expanding to three times it size. The large beam quickly caught up with the Megakabuterimon and overtook it, causing it to screech in pain as it was turned to ash.

Marcus smirked wickedly as he watched as the ashes of the defeated digimon started flying towards him. As they drew close to him his body tensed up as he absorbed the remains of the Megakauterimon, filling him with power. However, this rush he got didn’t last long before he felt himself fall down towards the ground, passing out right before hitting the ground.

Hello people hope you enjoyed the chapter, stay tuned for a special chapter coming up.

For what felt like the longest time Marcus felt lost in an endless sea of darkness. Unable to move, speak, hear, or even taste. He didn’t have any idea how long he had been trapped in this dark sea, it was almost madding. However, a small bright light began to break the darkness he was so accustomed to.

Slowly the light started to grow larger and brighter until it finally overtook him. As soon as the light enveloped him Marcus could hear a faint voice saying, “Hunt for the token and summon the Knight, and doom may yet be held at bay.”

As soon as he heard this voice Marcus’s eyes shot open as he quickly sat up in alarm. He quickly made a quick sweep of his surroundings, his brain racing with questions. After completing his visual sweep he managed to calm down enough to really think.

Marcus closed his eyes while breathing in and out a couple of times before reopening them and asking,” Okay, what the hell?” He then looked back over his surroundings, this time taking his time so he could really make note of where he was. From everything he saw he could tell that he was in some sort of cabin or cottage sitting on some form of a couch. He could also deduce that where he was was very animal friendly given that there were birdhouses hanging from the sealing and some animal beds on the ground.

Marcus groaned and in an annoyed voice said,” Okay either I’m in some sort of animal care place or I have been teleported to yet another weird strange world.” He then had a thought, if this was a new world what sort of form would he be in this time? He then looked down at himself to see what he was now. As soon as he saw his body his eyes he angrily yelled,” WHAT, I’M IMPMON NOW!!”

As he yelled this the sound hooves clacking against wood could be heard from above quickly making their way downstairs. Marcus quickly looked over to the staircase and watched as Fluttershy raced down them and ran over to him. She then gently looked him over while asking, “Oh my goodness, are you alright, does anything hurt?”

Marcus tried to say something but was quickly silenced by a thermometer being pushed into his mouth, causing him to growl a tiny bit as he waited. Once Fluttershy pulled out the thermometer he said, “I’m fine, just wondering what is going and wondering where we are.”

“Oh, this is my cottage. It’s where I take care of all my animal friends,” She explained as she went to the sink and washed off the thermometer. Then as she came she said,” I brought you hereafter that fight you were in with that monster.”

Marcus rubbed the back of his head as he said,” I guess I got pretty beat up back there.” He then looked at her and asked,” So how could you tell that I was me?” He then motioned that to his body while saying,” I don’t exactly look the same as I did before.”

“No, I knew you from the moment I laid eyes on you,” Fluttershy pointed at Marcus with a soft smile. “I knew that as soon as I saw you that you were Beelzemon, but now you're just smaller and cuter,” She giggled as Marcus blushed. “Something in my heart was telling me that, I just can’t really explain it better than that, although I wish I could.”

“I’m not cute,” Marcus grumbled.

“I’m just glad you’re awake now,” Fluttershy said with a relieved sigh. “You’ve been asleep for nearly two weeks.”

“TWO WEEKS!” Marcus shouted in shock causing Fluttershy to duck down covering her head with her forelegs. Uncovering herself when she felt safe and looked at him with alarm.

Fluttershy then walked over to him and gently put a hoof on his shoulder. She then asked,” Are you alright Marcus?”

Marcus looked over at her and let out a loud groan. He then rubbed his eyes before saying, “Yeah I am fine, that just caught me off guard a bit.” Two weeks, he was out cold for two weeks. That just didn’t seem possible given that his opponent was an Ultimate level and he was a Mega level Digimon at the time. Then it hit him, it was because he turned into Beelzemon Blast Mode for the first time.

Given that he had never gone through such a transformation before, at least of his own volition, it would make sense it would put a massive strain on him. That or the rush of power he got acted like an adrenaline high, and when that high dissipated it just wore out his body.

Marcus slowly took his hands from his face and looked at Fluttershy. Then with a small smirk and a chuckle, he said, “ Well I should thank you for taking care of me while I was out of it.”

Fluttershy raised her hoof and dismissively waved it in front of her while saying, “You don’t need to thank me for anything Marcus.” She then smiled warmly as she lowered her hoof and said,” That what friends are for, to be there for one another.”

Fluttershy’s words set something off in Marcus’s heart causing him to smile a little more. He then quietly said, “Well thanks anyways, my friend.” He then took a deep breath as he swung his legs over and hopped off the couch while saying,” Anyways I think I have taken up enough of your time, I should get out of here.”

Fluttershy worriedly looked down at Marcus and said,” Oh you don’t have to leave just yet, we don’t know if you fully okay yet.” She then quickly walked over and picked him up and set him back on the couch.

Marcus groaned as he said, “Fluttershy I am fine.” He then lightly glared at her as he continued, “And don’t pick me up like that again, it’s embarrassing.” He knew that he was shorter than her now, but come on picking him up like a child was really degrading.

“You’ve been asleep for a very long time Marcus and you haven’t eaten anything since you’ve been up,” She stated in a stern tone. “You may think you’re alright but for all I know you could fall over from exhaustion or from malnourishment. Let me fix you something to eat before you overexert yourself.” She then gave him one more stern stare before walking to the kitchen to make him something to eat.

Marcus groaned as he leaned back into the couch and just waited for her. However, his head started to hurt, causing him to hold his head in shock. As he held his head a familiar voice rang in his mind saying, “Hunt for the token and summon the Knight, and doom may yet be held at bay.”

Just as fast as the pain came it dissipated, leaving him there to think of what the voice said. “What the heck?” He questioned himself in confusion. “Find a token and summon a knight to hold off doom. What the heck does that mean? What does a token even have to do with a knight and what does any of this stuff have to do with me?” Marcus turned his head to a nearby window. “Sorry Fluttershy but I need some fresh air to clear my head and help me think.”

Marcus hopped off the couch and walked over to the window and opened it just as Fluttershy started to trot back into the living room with a tray of sandwiches and tea on it. As she entered she saw Marcus climbing out the window and quickly set the tray on a nearby table and chased after her friend. Meanwhile, Marcus landed on his feet just outside on the ground.

“Now for a walk,” He said, taking a deep breath and letting out a long sigh of relief. Marcus started to walk in the direction of the field behind Fluttershy’s house.

“Stop right there mister,” he heard Fluttershy behind him. Marcus simply stopped knowing there was no point in dissuading the butter-yellow pony. Once Fluttershy closed the gap between them and got on to the Digimon for so blatantly jumping out a window she decided if he was going for a walk then she would join him on it to ensure that he was going to be okay.

“Why’d you jump out the window instead of just using the front door?” Fluttershy scowled at Marcus as the duo walked along.

“I needed some fresh air and the window was the closest exit.” He then crossed his arms over his chest and said, “Besides the front door is too obvious, where's the fun in that.”

Fluttershy sighed as she shook her head while saying, “That isn’t the point Marcus, you should be resting right now.” She then stared at him sternly waiting for his reply.

Marcus stared back at her and said, “I am not some snot-nosed brat or some wounded animal that needs your help.” He then turned around and literally started ninja jumping away from her, covering a lot of distance fast.

As he jumped away he could hear Fluttershy calling after him, but he didn’t stop. He kept jumping farther away until finally entering the outskirts of the Everfree forest. After jumping into the depths of the forest he stopped to catch his breath.

While Marcus was catching his breath the snap of a twig could be heard.

Marcus looked around to see what broke the stick and noticed something large, yellow, and anthropomorphic. However, as soon as he saw it the creature began to run deeper into the forest.

Marcus couldn’t believe what he had just seen, but he did now he couldn’t let it getaway. He once again started jumping after it. The two continued this little game of cat and mouse until the creature stopped next to the base of a tree. Not too long behind he landed hunched over out of breath and wheezed out,“Ya..done..running..now..or..what?”

Once he managed to catch his breath he looked up at his target and groaned. He didn’t know what force in the universe was messing with him, but he could tell one thing. Whoever, or whatever, it was they sure knew how to make things ironic, it being a Renamon who he was following.

Marcus and the Renamon looked at each other, not word passing between the pair. Marcus then growled as he yelled, “WELL, YA GONNA SAY SOMTHIN OR NOT!?!”

The Renamon didn’t say anything, but what she did instead, pointed up into the tree she was standing under.

Marcus looked up at the tree and noticed something hanging in the branches. He then looked back down ready to ask the Renamon what that was, but she was gone. He then grumbled as he walked over to the tree while saying,” dumb fox face, being all cryptic and crud.”

Marcus then started climbing up the trees, making sure he wouldn’t fall. Finally, after a few minutes of climbing, he reached the branch holding into the object he saw before. Now that he was up there on the branch he could see that what he’d seen was a black headband with a red four-star on it.

Slowly then he started to inch his way over to the headband, each step causing the branch to squeak like it was about to snap. As soon as he was close enough he grabbed the headband and descended back to the ground.

Once on the ground he looked at the headband and asked, “Okay, now why was this in a tree, and why did that Renamon lead me to it?’ He then started examining it and noticed something written in the headband with glowing letters. Not wasting a moment he started reading it out loud saying, “If you seek truth and aid in helping the weak and in need, call forth the Anti-Magic Knight. What kind of a cooky saying is this? And who writes on headbands?”

As soon as that final word left his lips the glowing letters started to glow even brighter, both blinding Marcus and forcing him to drop the headband. Suddenly in front of him open a large swirling black and red swirling portal. Out of the portal fill something or rather someone, a human.

The human was a man with ash blonde hair tied back in a ponytail that reached down to his shoulders while it was spiky on top of his head. On his forehead was a headband that was a match for the one Marcus had found. The man was wearing a black leather trench coat over top of a light blue shirt, black pants, and black boots that were completely covered in dried blood. The man was half asleep as he sat up from where he’d landed from exiting the portal to reveal a black bull skull over top of a star outlined in gold.

The man sleepily looked around, “Shy, is breakfast ready?” he called out as he flopped back down on his back and started to snore with a snot bubble steadily rising and falling as he slept.

Marcus blinked a couple of times before walking over to the unconscious human and asked himself,” Okay what the heck.” He then smirked as he raised one of his fingers, causing a small flame to spark on his fingertip. He then flicked the flame at the unconscious human's face. He knew that doing this might not be the best thing to do, but he knew this would be the best way of waking him up.

The flame hit the human’s face but it merely bounced off and caught the grass on fire as the human continued to snore. The snot bubble suddenly popped and the human slowly opened his eyes to reveal a set of bright fluorescent green eyes. He sat up and stretched his arms towards the sky as he let out a rather large yawn. He steadily looked around as he scratched his chest and then he saw Marcus who was nervously smirking at the human.

“Hehe, an Impmon, weird dream,” the human said as he looked around. “Why am I in the Everfree Forest? Oh fuck,” he slapped his face, hard, and slowly dragged his hand down his face and then looked at Marcus again. “Hey, Impmon. Are you the one who summoned me?”

Marcus crossed his arms and said, “Okay first off pineapple head the name isn’t Impmon, it is Marcus. Secondly, yes that was me, I guess.” He then sighed as he rubbed his temples with his hands as he said, “Honestly with how my life has been lately I don’t know anymore.” He then looked up at Asta and asked, “ So ya got a name, or should I just stick to calling you pineapple head?”

“My name is Asta Ferris,” the human crossed his arms. “And I’m guessing you’re the resident Displaced? And I’m guessing you have no idea what that means going off that look on your face?”

“Displaced? What the heck is a Displaced?” Marcus exclaimed as he crossed his arms.

“We’re Displaced,” Asta pointed between himself and Marcus. “Short for Dimensionally Misplaced. We’re humans, some like you that used to be human, that have met up with interdimensional beings that sent us and others to different versions of Equestria or some other world in the multiverse. It always has to do with My Little Pony in some major way.”

“And how the heck did I bring you here?” Marcus pointed at Asta with a confused tone as he scratched his head.

“You found my token. Any item that we send out into the Void that winds up in other worlds with a say that we attach to it,” Asta pointed to his headband. “When another Displaced finds the token all they have to do is say the saying our I summon yada-yada and poof the Displaced is summoned. The one being summoned can deny the request though. I’m guessing that I thought your voice summoning me was my girlfriend telling me it was time to get up and I acknowledged your request while I was still half asleep.”

Marcus blinked a couple of times before groaning while saying, “Man things just getting stranger and stranger.” He then looked up at Asta and asked, “Wait if you are from a place like this and you have a girlfriend, does that mean you are…?”

“Are what?” Asta tilted his head.

Marcus then groaned as he asked,” Are you dating a pony?” He put his hands up and said,” Ya know what never mind, I don’t wanna know.” He then pointed at Asta and asked,” So mind telling me why you are covered in blood?”

“I’ll answer all your questions little dude,” Asta said as he looked himself over. “Technically yes I’m dating a pony but in my world, the ponies are humans with wings and tails. The unicorns have the focus crystal thing they were on their heads. Earth ponies just look like people with tails, Is there a stream I wash off in around here?” Asta looked around. “The reason I’m covered in blood is because I fought an army of sex-crazed caribou who wanted to reenslave the people I just saved and was too tired to wash up after the battle.”

Marcus just blinked a couple of times and said,” Wow and here I thought that fighting a Megakauterymon was a strange thing to say.” He then sighed as he put his hands behind his head and asked,” So what now, how do I send you back to where you call home?”

Marcus then started marching around Asta while saying, “Because I have the feeling that you don’t go home until we finish whatever I am supposed to do.” He then stopped dead in his tracks and with a smirk asked, “So ya willing to help me out, with whatever it is I am supposed to do?”

“I’m stuck here until you say ‘Our business is done,’” Asta said using air quotes. “Or something along those lines anyways. I don’t have the power to travel through the Void at will like a Void Dweller or my older brother.” Asta looked over to a nearby bush. “So yeah, I’m game, but let my change out of these crusty clothes first.” Asta jumped into the bush and took about five minutes and came out wearing his trench coat over a red t-shirt and black pants with a book glowing a red and black aura floating next to him. “That’s better,” he said brushing off some leaves. “Lead the way to wherever Marcus.”

Marcus gave a small nod and said, “Sure I should probably get back anyways.” He then turned around and started walking away. While he walked away he asked, “So, got anything to talk about?”

“Hmm?” Asta tapped his chin. “Well, usually when Displaced encounter one another they usually give a rundown of what they can do and their powers. They also work out something along the lines of a power exchange.” Asta explained as the duo walked along.

Marcus gave a quick nod as he said, “Alright, if that is the norm then let us do this.” He then smirked as he said,” Well, as you can see I am a Digimon and have all the powers of said Digimon. However, normally I am not an Impmon, I am a Beelzemon.” He then groaned as he looked at the ground in annoyance while saying,” But after my last fight I was apparently forced to dedigivolve into Impmon.”

Marcus then stopped in his tracks and looked up at Asta and asked,” As for sharing powers, the only thing I can think of is this.” He then walked over to Asta and quickly grabbed his grimoire and opened it.

“Don’t touch my Grimoire,” Asta quickly snatched his book back from Marus. “It's very dangerous to someone who doesn't understand it. It’s also very insulting to a magic Knight when someone grabs their Grimoire without permission.”

Marcus blinked a couple of times before glaring at Asta and asking,” Well then how else am I supposed to do this?” Just as he said this in the back his mind he heard a voice saying,” Through the soul, your bonds shall grow, and a new weapon shall be owned.”

Marcus shook his head and said,” Man I hope that doesn’t become a recurring thing, but hey this voice hasn’t lead me wrong yet.” He then closed his eyes and started to create a picture in his mind. As he did this he felt something deep inside him start to grow until finally, he put his hands out in front of him, and in a quick flash, an old Beelzemon Digimon TCG card appeared.

Marcus looked up at Asta and said,” Here use this, put it in your book maybe, and it should give you access to my Berenjena.” Then with crossed arms he asked,” So now it is your turn Asta, what do ya got?”

“I have a publishing spell that lets me give others Grimoires,” Asta said as he took the card and looked it over. “Blast Mode, cool. But back to the Grimoire.” Asta looked at Marcus. “I have no control over what magic you’ll get or the power level of it. All that solely depends on you. See, you have four levels of power when dealing with Grimoires. One to four-leaf clovers. One and Two leaf clover Grimoires are weak to medium strength then three-leaf Grimoires are moderate strength and the most common. Four-leaf clovers are the top shelf and said to bring not only power but luck as well.”

“But I saw yours is a five-leaf clover,” Marcus said pointing to Asta’s Grimoire. “So going off that logic means you’re pretty strong and a pretty big deal.”

“Five leaf Grimoires are outliers,” Asta explained. “In the fifth leaf dwells a demon. See, demons can’t exist in a martial form unless they have a five-leaf Grimoire in Asta’s world.”

“How many five-leaf books are there?” Marcus crossed his arms.

“That I know of, two.” Asta held up two fingers. “That’s what I know from the show my character is from anyway. From the encounters I’ve had, three. My own, my student back home, and one other Displaced. With me as the exception, the others have dealt with darker parts of themselves that manifested as demons after they got their Grimoires though.”

“What does this have to do with yours truly,” Marcu shrugged as he thumbs himself.

“Beelezemon is a Demon Lord Digimon,” Asta held the card up between his forefingers. “Meaning you get a five-leaf grimoire on the spot. Over time you will develop your own demon from your darker tendencies as the Publishing Spell unlocks your magic but also seals some of your dark nature, but in your case, it might be all of it when you get the Grimoire. Which given your good nature already, I highly doubt that’ll happen.” Asta’s Grimoire pages flip tell they reached a certain page. “When using your Grimoire with your demon nature you should air on the side of caution. Think of this as a sort of dual-edged sword. Demon power increases magic dramatically but also lets the demon have a chance to take over your mind. You could have an easier time dealing with though as your technically already a demon.”

“What could happen to me,” Marcus tilted his head.

“Beelzemon is one of the seven demon lords that serves as the icon of gluttony,” Asta said as the pair marched along. “Main he craves more out of life. Not merely greed where he would needlessly want to own everything in the world, but gluttony which craves to be sated with a singular drive usually a hunger for power and dominance. You could end up craving power as Beelzemon from the season three show did and lose yourself in it. The demon aspect of you will prey on this and give you power while consuming your mind and taking your body as its own.”

“Wow,” Marcus said as he held his head in his hand,“ When ya put it that way it sounds like more trouble than what it’s with.”

“Not really,” Asta chimed. “As long as you stay strong and don’t rush forward. You can learn how to draw on the demon’s power. I can do this, for many reasons but the most prevalent is that you need to have a strong mind, spirit, and heart. Don't go it alone either, let your friends help you.”

Marcus gave a small nod as he said,” Good to know. If there is one thing I know it is the importance of friends.” He then chuckled as he then said,” Besides if there is one thing this Impmon know it is that somehow, friendship is the key to unimaginable power.” Then with a smirk he pointed at him and said,” You should know that, being a Shonen character after all.”

Marcus then put out his hand and asked,” So, are you gonna give me that grimoire or are you not.”

“I’d be more than happy to give you a Grimoire of your own Marcus,” Asta said with an apprehensive tone .”But I need a few things in order to make it happen.”

“Well, what do ya need?” Marcus asked as the duo near the edge of the forest.

“First we’ll need a blank book, like a journal you write in. Then we’ll need some top quality ink and a high-end quill,” Asta explained, “Lastly, we’ll need a few drops of your blood. We mix it into the ink and you write your name in the book with it, After that it’s only a quick jolt of pain as I use my Publishing Spell to forge your Grimoire.”

Marcus gave a deep chuckle as he said,” And you called me a demon, this sounds like the beginning of a Fausten Tail.”

“It’s how the spell works. In Asta’s world you’d normally go to the Grimoire Library or have it passed down to you from a family member,” Asta shrugged. “But since neither the library exists and no preexisting Grimoire are out there that I know of, I was given a way to give others their own Grimoire. Don’t ask for details because I can’t give them to ya.” Asta crossed his arms as the duo exited the forest just across from Fluttershy’s cottage. “Oh, so this is where you hold up? Nice to know that someone else stays with Fluttershy.”

Marcus looked up at him and said,” Hey that wasn’t my choice, she took me here after my last fight and healed me up.” He then groaned as he said,” And I didn’t exactly leave in the best way last time I was here.”

Marcus then walked up towards the front door of the cottage and was about to knock, but stopped. He then gets behind Asta and pushed him forward while saying,” You do it, cause I can’t.”

“You shut left in a huff, didn’t you?” Asta looked over his shoulder. Marcus merely scratched the back of his head. Asta let out an annoyed sigh. “Alright, I mean she’s my girlfriend back home so I already have a pretty good idea of how pissed she is. Here goes nothing,” Asta reached for the door handle and pulled open the door to the tiny cottage.

“Marcus!” came a soft but very angry voice.

“Geez, you are in trouble,” Asta said as he looked back to see Marcus trying to sneak away. “No you don’t,” Asta vanished and immediately appeared in front of Marcus placing a hand on his head as he lifted him up. Marcus looked at the knight as he knew he was dead meat as there was no way to get out of his vice-like grip. “I’m not taking the heat for you little dude.” Asta walked into the cottage and set the Impmon on the sofa. “You made the bed now it’s time to lie in it.” Asta remarked as Fluttershy trotted into the room and froze at the sight of Asta. “Right on cue.” he crossed his arms. “Nice to meet you, little pony, my name is Asta Ferris and I’m a friend of Marcus here. I just found out that he just up and left you.” Asta eyed Marcus. “He’s all yours, I'll just be quietly sitting over here.” Asta plopped on the ground crossed legged and cross-armed.

Marcus growled at Asta and said,” Oh I am so going to get you back for this, mark my words Asta.” Just then Fluttershy let out a small but assertive ahem, causing him to quickly look at Fluttershy and gulp. He then rudded the back of his head and said,'' Okay I can tell that you are mad, but hear me out.”

“What were you thinking?!” She sternly raised her voice. “First you ignore me when I tell you you need rest. Then you try and sneak out through the window, no less, while I was getting you something to eat, which you still need to do,” Fluttershy scowled angrily at the Digimon while motioning to the sandwich on a nearby coffee table. “Finally, when I try to help you and get you to rest you storm off, into the Everfree Forest of all places!” She raised her voice as she threw her forearms into the air. “You’re not huge anymore. You could easily have been attacked by timberwolves or something more dangerous.” Fluttershy pointed at Marcus as she continued to scold him. “But you're back now, safe and sound. With a new friend no less.” She smiled as she wrapped Marcus in a warm hug.

Marcus was surprised at first, how could she go from angry to happy in such a short amount of time. He then hugged her back and a familiar feeling washed over him. It reminded him of a feeling that he hadn’t felt in such a long while, not since his mother.

After a few minutes, the two broke off the hug Marcus said,” I am sorry I scared you like that Fluttershy, I just needed to move.” He then rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly as he said,” I have never been one to stay in one particular spot for too long.”

“I guess you and I are a lot alike the regard of never being in one spot for any extended period of time,” Asta looked at Marcus in a somewhat understanding tone. “Being an actor I only ever stayed as long as I needed to for a job until it was time to move on to the next job. I was never close with anyone except my older brother and a couple of friends but after he disappeared I was by myself for the last nine years. I did have my friends but we only ever saw each other a couple of times out of the year at most.”

Marcus looked at him and said,” Well it is good to know that the two of us could relate to one another.” He then snapped his fingers and turned back to Fluttershy and asked,” Oh yeah, Fluttershy I was wondering if you had a blank book and a quill that we could borrow?”

Fluttershy tapped her chin and said,”I think I might have a journal Twilight gave me that I never used, and I should have a quill somewhere.” She then left to find the journal and quill.

As soon as she left Marcus looked at Asta and asked,” Okay how are we going to not get her to freak when you have to get my blood for your spell?”

Asta’s Grimoire floated up next to him and opened to a set page and out came a bottle of ink on a saucer with a sewing needle next to it. “Simple. You prick your finger and add a drop to some of this ink,” Asta to the bottle and poured some of the ink on to the saucer and handed Marcus the needle. “It just needs to be a little bit, enough to completely mix with the ink so the Publishing Spell recognizes you as the Grimoires new owner.”

Marcus looked around before taking the pin and asking,” So you promise this isn’t some deal with the devil kind of thing.” He then crossed his arms and said,” Because I am quite fond of my soul thank you very much.”

“The only deal with a demon to be made here is the one that might come with your Grimoire,” Asta pointed out. “And even then only if you accept its power. Who knows though, maybe you and the demon could work something out to where you stay in control while having full access to its power.” Asta shrugged with a sideways cocked head. “Again, it's if you get a demon in the first place. Technically, you're already a demon and could just straight up get a Five Leaf Grimoire without a demon in it, or it could develop over time. So, still want to go through with it?”

Marcus sighed as he poked his finger while saying,” Technically i’m not a demon, but I get your point.” As soon as blood came out of his finger he made sure it fell into the ink. When his blood and the ink mixed Fluttershy came back from wherever she went with the journal and quill and looked at the two, wondering what the two were up to.

“Now just write your name in the front cover of the book with the ink and shut it afterwards,” Asta pointed at the journal. “Then I’ll take care of the rest. Fluttershy you might want to duck under a table or something as the Publishing Spell can be quite, ah… terrifying for somepony as timid and shy as yourself. Okay?”

Marcus gave a quick nod as he took the book and wrote his name in it, While he did this Fluttershy, reluctantly hid in the kitchen.

“Alright, now that all the ingredients have been mixed all that’s left is to bake this sucker,” Asta smirked as he clapped his hands together and rubbed them. His grimoire turned its page and floated in front of him. He stood up and held his left hand out over his Grimoire. “Grimoire Publishing Magic,” Asta called out and the Grimoire came to life with black lightning.

Soon the lightning shot for Asta’s Grimoire to the Journal. The journal was now surrounded in the black lightning and Marcus stared at it in confusion as the book began to levitate. Suddenly the lightning shot at Marcu enveloping his entire body causing him great pain before he was dropped back on the floor with a thud. Marus looked up through one barely open eye as he gritted his teeth. There he saw the journal turn completely black as it began to warp into a new book altogether.

This new book was a far cry from the journal it used to be. What once was a normal cover, spin, and back turned into solid gold with a five-leaf clover in the center of the cover. The pages seemed to have been turned into what looked like weathered papyrus.

Marcus looked at the grimoire and then at Asta and asked,” Okay that was an experience.” He then walked over and picked up his new grimoire. As he held it he could feel waves of great power emanating from it, telling him to open the book and claim its might. Slowly he reached to try and open the grimoire, but it wouldn’t.

Marcus blinked in surprise before glaring at the book and trying again to open it, this time with more force. He kept at this for minutes before angrily throwing the book and yelling,” The stupid thing won’t open, why won’t it open!?!” He then turned his head towards Asta, expecting him to give him the answer.

Asta threw his hands up in the air giving a shrug. “I’m guessing you have to meet a certain requirement before you can open it,” Asta shrugged. “It might be like some of the items in my own Grimoire. I had to get a dragon before I had access to draconic gauntlets. Mind if I have a look?’ Asta held out his hand.

Marcus shrugged and picked up the grimoire and said,” Sure, go at it.” He then threw it over to him, hoping Asta would catch it.

Asta caught Marcus’s Grimoire and his own floated up next to him and turned to a new page and Asta proceeded to put his hand over the page and out came a purple gem roughly the size of someone’s eye. “Let’s see now,” Asta held his gem up in front of his eye. “Hmm… “ Asta rubbed his chin. “It has a Digivice from Season three on it, see” He held the gem in front of Marcus’s eye and the Grimoire in front of it. “Any ideas?”

Marcus looked at the gem and said,” I have an idea, which would be digivolution.” He then groaned as he said,” Well that or something else like that, hoping that is the first one though.”

“Wait a minute?” Asta said suddenly as he threw his seeing gem back into his Grimoire and turned the pages to pull out the Beelzemon card Marcus had given him earlier. “I think you're right. You need to be Beelzemon before it unlocks. I wonder?” Asta looked at the card and then to Marcus’s Grimoire. Asta then tossed the card onto the Grimoire and it changed into a black D3 with a red chrome ring around its display screen. Then chains of white light appear around Marus’s Grimoire and then the book floats to Marcus and the Digivice to Asta.

“Okay, that was unexpected,” Asta grabbed the digivice and looked it over before noticing writing on it. “Digital Self-Modification, what’s that mean?” Asta looked at Marcus.

Marcus crossed his arms and said,” Well in the show the tamer could boost their partners by using Digi-modify. So if I had to guess then it would probably that, but more on the self then on a partner Digimon.” He then rubbed his chin as he then asked,” But how is one supposed to do that, we don’t have any of the cards or the special blue evolution card.”

Marcus then looked at Asta to say something else, but was cut off by the Renamon from earlier appearing in between the two of them. This caused him to jump back in fear and asked,” Holy hell, where did you come from!?”

The Renamon looked at the two and said,” The sin of Greed has arrived, the mistress needs you both to take care of it.” Then before Asta or Marcus could ask her anything it disappeared into thin air.

“She might have disappeared but her ki hasn’t,” Asta said looking out the window. “A mistress, aye?

Marcus blinked and turned to Asta and asked,” Um Asta are you thinking what I am thinking?” As he asked this true unbridled fear could be seen in his eyes. For if he was right then one of the strongest demon lord Digimon has just arrived, Barbarmon.

Marcus’s eyes shrank to the size of pinpricks as soon as he heard a loud thud. Asta slammed his fist together with a very large grin and a furrowed brow giving off his eagerness to fight a strong opponent. “Hell yeah,” he continued to smile. “I get to face one of the strongest evil Digimon and push my limits. YEA!” Asta roared, sending waves of charisma and excitement outwards.

Marcus looked at Asta with a dumbfounded look, honestly shocked how happy he was. He then groaned and said,” You hear that we have to fight one of the worst Digimon there is and you are happy, are you serious?”

“What, you aren’t?” Asta looked at Marcus in curiosity. “It’s when we face those who are strong and can push us to test the limits of what we can do that can make us stronger. But it’s not just facing strong opponents that can do it but the ideals we stick to as well as those we surround ourselves with. If Impmon in the Series had realized this before he made a deal with Caturamon then so he would have digivolve long before he went back to the Digital World. So.” Asta looked up, holding up a clenched fist. “Where is the evil bastard?” He closed his eyes and concentrated before his eyes quickly shot open to looking at Marcus. “We need to get to Ponyville, now.”

Marcus turned his head to the side and said,” First off, me and that Impmon are two different people, and secondly, how did you know that?” Just then a loud explosion could be heard coming from the direction Ponyville would be in. He then growled as he said,” Oh fine let’s go.” He then jumped onto Asta’s shoulder and kicked him lightly while saying,” Come on get moving, we don’t have all day.”

“First off, I’m not a packhorse,” Asta said in annoyance. “Secondly, I know you’re not the same as Impmon, but as Displaced we also pick up the mannerisms of who we become, unfortunately sometimes,” Aasta said to the side as he ducks out of the doorway as his Grimoire floated up next to him turning its page and a handle came out of it. Asta took hold of the handle and pull out his Demon Slayer Sword. “You might want to hold on tighter,” Asta smirked as he started to run and then threw his sword in front of him while he proceeded to jump on it and the Duo sped off towards Ponyville.

Marcus held on as they took off on the sword and under his breath said,” We could have just taken Behemoth you know, no we had to go by sword.” He then watched as they flew closer and closer to Ponyville and saw Barbamon hovering in the air, attacking the town with his Dark Inferno attack. “Okay two things, how are we gonna beat that and what am I supposed to like this?” He said while gesturing towards himself, still an Impmon.

“Here’s a relative question for ya?’ Asta said as he weaved through flames. “When was the last time you ate?”

Marcus groaned as he said,” I kinda skipped out when Fluttershy was making me something to eat, so yeah it has been a while.” He couldn’t understand how he forgot something so simple when it comes to Digimon. No food then no Digivolve. He then looked at Asta and asked,” You wouldn’t happen to have something on you would you?”

“Let’s see here,” Asta chimed as he reached into his Grimoire and pulled out a simple sandwich. “Good thing I never ate this thing last night, warning though, it’s spicy,” He said, handing Marcus the sandwich.

“You know I wanna ask why you have a random sandwich in your bag, but now is not the time,” He said as he grabbed the sandwich and ate it. As soon as he was done he asked,” Okay now I have the nutrients, now how do I digivolve?” However, before he could get an answer from the corner of his eye saw a black fireball flying towards them. ”Hellfire, hellfire headed at us right now!” He said as he pushed Asta’s face down, for some reason thinking that would cause them to go down.

“Get your hands out of my eyes,” Asta yelled as he struggled to keep balance on his blade. “I can’t see to dodge-” was all Asta was saying as a Hellfire ball hit the Knight Digimon duo head-on knocking them off the sword and flying towards the ground.

As the pair fell Asta hit the ground, causing a small crater to form upon impact, and Marcus to hit the side of a building and bouncing off it. “Okay next time I drive,” He said in a pained voice as he slowly stood up. He then limply ran over to Asta and asked,” You alright man?”

“Yea,” Asta groaned as he summoned his sword to his hand and used to it to get to his feet. “Crystal reinforce bones and skin help but that doesn’t mean it stops the hurt,” he said cracking his neck from side to side. “Man, I don’t know if I’m going to be much help here. I deal in canceling, absorbing, and erasing all types of magic. My other tools are way too big a threat in their own right to deal with a small fry. They’d do more harm than good here and all my Pokemon are back in my world. Christ, I’m up the creek without a paddle on this one.” Asta sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. “I still have Crystal Magic at least, and Ancient Magic as a last resort. I can still use Black Form to raise my power but it won’t do any good unless I can get up close for someone on one for my palms to connect.” He slammed his hand on the guard of the sword driving it two feet into the ground. “Damn it.”

Marcus didn’t say anything to what Asta said and just walked over to him and grabbed his grimoire. He then looked down at the golden book and said,” Then maybe you should get out of here.”

As soon as he said this a cold raspy voice could be heard above them saying,” Well that sounds the smartest move to make, but I am afraid I can’t let that happen.” This caused both Marcus and Asta to look up to see the old looking Digimon Barbamon hovering above them. “ I am afraid I have need of you little Imp,” he said as he pointed one of his long-clawed fingers at Marcus.

Marcus looked at Barbamon and felt his whole body tense up from fear. He knew the power that this Digimon had and knew that if he wanted to he could destroy him without even batting an eye. Then in a shaky voice, he asked,” What do you need me for?”

Barbamon smiled wickedly, showing off the many sharp teeth that fill his mouth, and said,” Oh my dear sweet Imp, it is not you, I need.” He then flew slowly up to Marcus and grasped his chin and lifted him into the air until he was eye level with him. “ I need Beelzemon, which I know you can turn into, so I might complete my plans and achieve are ultimate form.” He then dropped Marcus, causing him to fall onto the ground.

Marcus looked up at Barbamon and thought about what his plan could be. It then hit him and with pure fear in his voice said,” You want to bring about Ogudomon.”

Barbamon chuckled mockingly as he said,” I would seem that you have some brains to you little Imp, yes I want to combine all the sins to become Ogudomon.” He then once again began to float up. As he ascended he said,” I wish to ravage this world until nothing else remains, but to do this I need all the Demon Lord Digimon. Thus far I have six, myself included, now all require is you.” Barabamon then pointed his wand at Marcus said,” So I will offer you a deal, an offer you will not want to refuse. I will stop my attack on this village and let your little friend escape with his life. However, in return, you come and join me in my mission.”

Marcus took a moment and looked at the burning town, watching as the black flames were engulfing serval buildings. Ponies running around in a frenzied panic trying to put the flames out. He then looked at Asta and asked,” What do you think, you still have the choice to go home?”

“My choice to go home is up to you, like everything else here,” Asta said as he pulled his sword from the ground. “But remember, my job as a magic knight is to help those who need it.” he points the sword at Barbamon and then he looked at Marcus, “SO GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF ASS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THE EVIL BASTARD IS SAYING MARCUS!” Asta roared in anger as he disappeared to reappear in front of Barbamon “Iron palm Ruijin'en (Ape’s Palm).” He thrust his palm into Barbamon’s gut sending the Demon lord hurtling through the sky and then proceeded to walk over to Marcus.

“GRIT YOUR TEETH!” Asta yelled as he nailed Marcus right in the cheek. The Impmon was sent into the dirt and he looked back at Asta and held his face. “If that sick fuck gets what he want’s none of your new home will exist. What about everything that lives here? What about the friends you made? Can make? YOU SAID YOU WERE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER IMPMON BUT ALL I SEE IS ANOTHER LITTLE BITCH THAT IS WILLING TO TRADE EVERYTHING HE HAS FOR MORE EVIL POWER!” Asta belted out in anger at Marcus as he continued to scowl at the younger Displaced.

Marcus blinked a couple of times before angrily yelling,” What the hell are you on about, I was just asking if you wanted out before this got to dangerous!” He then growled as he said,” I was going to fight him anyways, I just wanted to know if you were with me.”

“Course I’m with you if you’re gonna fight the bastard, but don’t lie to my face either kid,” Asta continued to scowl. “I used to be an actor and I know how to read people, it was part of my job to become someone else, and the way you spoke wasn’t acting but real fear.” Asta’s Grimoire floated up next to him as he proceeded to pull out his Demon Dweller sword. “I have every intention to carve that bastard into pieces and I have my trump card too. Digimon reformat which is basically a form of Reincarnation,” the book revealed Asta’s next weapon and he released his Demon Slayer and pulled out his third sword, The Demon Destroyer, “And I know it workers, as I used it on a vampire with instant regeneration abilities once. I cut off her arm, it didn’t grow back.” Asta’s gaze shifted to Barbamon as he releases bloodlust and true killing intent that would drown the weakest of souls, causing them to faint.

Barbamo looked at the two and began to scowl while asking,” So I can take it that you are turning down my offer then, such a shame.” It then started to send out it own bloodlust which was even more potent than Astas. Then with a wicked smirk, he raised one of his hands and motioned for them to attack him while saying,” Come on then little fools, entertain me a little bit. Unless you are scared.”

Marcus’s eye twitched when Barbamon brought up being scared and caused him to growl. He then angrily said,” You know what I am tired of you both calling me scared. You wanna see if I am scared.” He then reached to move his grimoire in front of him and started to try and open it again, but this time it actually opened. Once the book was fully open a bright white light shot out and envelope him. Once the light dispersed Marcus had changed into Beelzemon, but not a normal Beelzemon. Instead of his normal leather, he was wearing a long black robe with golden accents and a crimson stole draped over his shoulders. From his back, six raven black wings sprouted, and a large crimson horn sprouted above his third eye. He then angrily asked,” Does this seem like someone who is scared ya big palooka?”

Asta kicked his Demon Slayer and it spun up in the air then he jumped on it riding it over to Marcus’s side. “Lookin good there bud,” He said, placing his Destroyer on his shoulder and the Dweller pointed to the ground as black anti-magic started to waft off the blades. “Looks like all you need was to drum up your feelings to show your true self.”

Marcus looked at his new body and said,” Wow this form really went into the fallen angel shtick didn’t it.”

“That’s how most demon type Digimon lore goes,” Asta looked at the New Marcus. “But you can admire yourself in the mirror later,” Asta pointed his Destroyer at a snarling Barbamon. “We need to deal with that asshole first.”

Barabamon rubbed his chin and said,” Interesting, I have never heard of a Beelzemon quite like that.” He then smiled wickedly as he said,” This should actually be worth my time.” Then in a swift motion, he raised his wand and created a large black ball of fire. “Come now and meet your doom, Dark Inferno”, he yelled as he launched the fireball at the two.

Marcus’s grimoire shot open as he lifted his hand and a large magic circle appeared blocking the fire. Then without looking at Asta said,” You rush him while supporting you from behind.”

Asta crossed his blades in front of his chest and smirked, “Thought you’d never ask,” Asta flew around the circle on his Slayer and straight at Barbamon, Anti-magic coming off his swords. He hit Barbamon head-on but the Digimon managed to block the blow with his wand. “Quick on that draw old man.”

“Impudent Child you will pay most dearly for that,” Barbamon hissed.

“I know you are but what am I,” Asta mocked as he forced his swords together cutting Barbamon’s wand in two. “Lost your stick,” Asta chuckled as he kept up the mocking as he jumped up digging his foot into the side of Barbamon’s head, sending the dark lord whirling through the air into the ground, hard.

“Oooo,” Marcus hissed, “That's gonna leave a mark.”

“And I may be a child to one as old as you,” Asta talked down to Barabmon, no fear in his voice whatsoever. “But I know what power is and you Barbamon don’t even scale to what I’ve seen.” He looked as if he had pity in his eyes, “And not even you can come close to that power.” Asta raised his Demon Destroyer sword and it became engulfed in his Antimagic,” Black Slash,” He brought a swipe down sending a wave of black demonic energy at Barbamon.

The elder Digimon recognized that if he took the slash head on he would actually take some decent damage. So in defense, he held up his wand to block the strike. While it did keep the attack from connecting with his body, he was sent hurtling towards the ground

Asta flew down to the ground and hopped off his Demon Slayer and let his other two swords fall into the dirt tip first. Marcus looked at the Knight in total confusion. He then turned his attention back to Barbamon but directed his words at Asta.

“What the heck are you doin?” Marus growled at Asta.

Asta also kept his eyes on Barbamon but his speech was centered on Marcus’s question. “I may be a master swordsman thanks to Asta’s skills but what I truly excel,” His Grimoire floated in front of him and opened allowing him to reach in with both his arms then pull them out covered in armored gauntlets.

Asta held up his armored hand, “Getting up close and personal,” He flexed his fingers as he proceeded to drop down on all fours. “Beast Style,” He said aloud as he took in a deep breath and controlled his blood flow, strengthening his body far beyond what was possible.

In the next moment, Asta took off in an instant. Even Barbamon had a hard time keeping up with the knight as he came out of nowhere, sending the demon lord into the air. Asta let loose a fury of attacks on the Digimon as the knight zig-zagged around and around him in mid-air. From all directions, Asta was leaving behind afterimages further confusing Barbamon as he swung trying to hit the knight only for his claws to pass through him.

Asta suddenly appeared overhead and threw the palms of his hands together with his fingers outstretched like fangs, “Shi Ten Ryū Kōgeki (Four Heavenly Dragons Strike)!” All of Asta’s afterimages followed the original and converged on Barbamon unleashing an ungodly roar and Hell on the demon lord as he fell to the ground bruised and bloody while Asta reappeared next to Marcus and let out a heavy breath.

“I may be able to boost myself for a few hours but those super moves really eat up the time I get in one go,” Asta stood up and cracked his neck from side to side. “He’s yours man.” Asta looked at Marcus.

Marcus smirked wickedly, showing his razor-sharp teeth, and said,” I don’t mind if I do.” Then his grimoire’s pages started to rapidly flip.

As this was going on Barbamon angrily glared at him and said,” You, what do you think you could do?” He then pointed at Asta with his crooked finger and said,” That warrior couldn’t defeat me, all he managed to do was wound me.” Then with a cocky smirk asked,” What could you even hope to do?”

“Fyi, I’m a knight, not a warrior, and I was holding back, asshole,” Asta crossed his arms. “Where’s the fun in a fight if I can’t actually give an opponent a fighting chance to see what they can do and to see if I can push my limits.”

Marcus didn’t say anything, all he did was raise his hand as the pages of his book finally came to a halt. “You wanna know what I can do, then here let me show you. Impaling Darkness!!” As he said this a large magic circle appeared in front of his raised hand, launching ten black tendrils shot out at breakneck speed.

Barbamon smirked as he quickly took to the air and mockingly said,” If this is all you have to offer then I have nothing to fear.” However, as he said this he noticed the tendrils quickly turn up and chase him. The elderly Digimon tried desperately to shake the tendrils, but no matter where he went they followed until finally, they caught him. Each tendril piercing parts of his body, primarily the arms and legs, keeping him locked to that location.

Marcus smirked as he asked,” You still think there isn’t much I can do?”

Barbamon growled as a small amount of blood started to flow from his mouth and spitefully said,” If you truly think this will ever be enough to beat me then you are mistaken.”

Marcus shook his head and said,” I know this wouldn’t be enough to code you Barbamon, I just want to show you not to mess with me.” As he said this anyone could see his eyes become more serpentine. He then raised his free hand, causing another magic circle to form. However, in the center of this circle, a small ball of energy started to form and constantly be pulling in energy but never growing larger. After a couple of minutes of charging he moved his hand so the attack was aimed at Barbamon. “ DARK JUDGEMENT!” he yelled at the top of his lungs, causing a massive beam of energy to shot out and engulf Barbamon.

“That had to sting,” Asta chuckled.

Marcus just chuckled as he watched as Barbamon slowly fell float to the ground, bleeding from multiple areas.

Barbamon growled as he said,” I have to admit you both are stronger then I expected, but that isn’t enough to destroy me.” The elderly Digimon then waved his arm to the side, opening what seemed like a large circular gate appeared and opened up. Inside the gate what looked like a black ocean could be seen. He then said,” For now though I think I shall take my leave.”

“Marcus,” Asta called out to get the Displaced attention. He grabbed his Demon Destroyer Sword and charged the blade with Anti-magic. “Catch,” Asta tossed Marcus the blade as he took his Demon Dweller sword in hand and took off riding on his Demon Slayer. “You’re not going anywhere, Black Meteorite!” Asta yelled as he flew towards Barbamon in a streak of Black.

Marcus grabbed Asta’s sword as it was thrown to him and started flying towards Barbamon alongside Asta. Right as the two got to him they both raised their swords and slashed down across his chest, causing two large gashes to form across his chest.

Barbamon groaned as he flew back into the portal and said,” Next time we meet Beelzemon, you will be mine.” Once Barbamon was fully through the portal it then closed, not leaving a trace.

“Evil bastard,” Asta said out of spite as he spat on Barbamon blood that had fallen on the ground. He then turned to Marcus and held out his hand. “I’ll be taking my sword back now. If you hold on to it any longer then your magic will be completely depleted.”

“Ah, Sure,” Marcus said with a bit of unease in his voice as he handed the blade back to its rightful master. Asta then swung it to the side and threw the evil blood off it before he swiftly returned it back to its rightful place in his Grimoire along with his other swords.

As Marcus gave back the sword he started to glow again, and it only dissipated when he was turned back to an Impmon.

“I guess that you’re gonna dedigivolve after every fight if you use up all your energy,” Asta tilted his slightly. “So, you think he went to that Dark Ocean dimension from the second season?”

Marcus looked up at Asta and said,” Well I don’t know about normal Beelzemon, but it looks like with the forms I do.” He then groaned and as he said,” Well that is what it looked like.”

Just then the Renamon from before appeared in front of the two in a swirl of leaves. It then gave a small bow while saying,” Congratulations warriors, you have done well in fending off Barbamon.” She then straightened back up and walked over to Asta and said,” In honor of your help, my mistress would like you to have these.” She then handed him some modify cards for his digivice.

Asta happily took the cards from the Renamon and proceeded to return her bow, “Tell your mistress it was a pleasure to deal with the evil bastard and I will gladly do it again should you need my aid in the future.”

Renamon gave Asta a slight nod before turning her attention to Marcus. She then said,” For you small one my mistress has nothing for you at this time, but her deepest thanks.” She then backed away and said,” Until we meet again warriors.” Then just like she arrived, she disappeared in a vortex of leaves.

Marcus crossed his arms as he said,” Well that seems a bit unfair, but whatever.” He then looked up at Asta and said,” Well it would seem that our business is done.”

“It would seem so my small friend,” Asta smirked as a portal opened up behind. “I need to give these things a test and this seems to be the right time,” Asta held up his cards and Digivice in front of him with his arms crossed. Asta shuffled through the cards and picked one as he got a wicked smirk on his face. “You keep on the straight and narrow okay Marcus. Be Careful of the Displaced as not all of us are… uh…. Good at heart.” He held up his cards and Digivice while yelling out, “DIGI-MODIFY!” Suddenly the Behemoth appeared in front of the two but its color scheme was inverted. “Cool,” Asta jumped on the machine and revved the engine. “Sweet, anything else before I take off?” he looked back to Marcus.

Marcus glared at him and said,” That better be a copy and not the real one or I swear you are dead.” He then let out a whistle to call Behemoth and his Behemoth came driving towards him, parking next to him. Then with a quick nod, he said,” I don’t think so, especially since I now know we both have our own Behemoth’s.” He then offered his hand for Asta to shake while saying,” It was nice to meet you, Asta, our business is done.”

Asta took hold of Marcus’s hand in a firm grasp and gave it a shake,” It was my pleasure little man and do keep a clean nose,” He smirked as he released Marcus’s grip. “And be good to the little pegasus, she’s only looking out for the way she knows how,” Asta placed his hands on the Behemoth’s bars and the machine roared with an eagerness to burn rubber. “Let’s do this!” Asta revved the engine again and took off into the portal returning to his own world from whence he’d come as the portal closed behind him.

Marcus gave a quick nod and turned around and readied himself to head back to Fluttershy’s cottage. However, as he turned around he was greeted by four ponies. One had a horn, one had a horn and wings, and two others with neither. Then one of the two normal ponies, who was orange and had a cowboy hat, threw a lasso around him. He then groaned as he said,” Well...shit.”

Hey guys this was a collab chapter with my friend Alvasa, who wrote The Equestrian Anti-Magic Knight. It is really awesome and you guys should check it out. This was a really fun project to work on and has given me a lot of fun ideas. Well until next time my friends, hope you enjoy.

Marcus sat in the center of a room made of crystal with what looked like a crystal conference table, hog tied and surrounded by a group of four ponies. Two of them being normal ponies, one being orange with a blonde mane and a cowboy hat as well as a pink one with pink puffy hair. While the other two were a white unicorn with a purple mane and purple pony that looked like the love child of a unicorn and pegasus.

The purple unicorn/pegasus thing glared at the tied up Impmon, which caused him to slightly fidget. “Um you mind untying me here miss purple, these ropes are kinda starting to chafe”, Marcus said while showing his bindings, but just received an even harsher glare.

The uniasas, a name that Marcus decided on, said,” No, those ropes aren’t coming off until you answer a couple questions. Also the name is Twilight Sparkle, not miss purple.”

Marcus rolled his eyes and asked,” Okay then Twilight Sparkle, what exactly are these questions that you have for me?” He looked at the other ponies beside Twilight and said,” I assume the rest of you have some questions as well.”

The orange pony said,” No not really, Twi is the one with all the questions. The rest of us are just ta make sure you don’t scurry off.”

Marcus shrugged as he said,” Fair enough i guess.” He turned his attention to Twilight saying,” So shall we begin, what are your questions or should I start guessing what you want ot know? Because I think I know at least one of them.”

“Oh and what do you think that would be?” Twilight as with a mixture of interest and scepticism.

With a cocky smirk Marcus said,” Well I would bet good money that your first question is what exactly am I.” As he said this Twilight gave a small nod to show that he was correct. This caused him to smirk as he continued,” Well to answer your question I am a Digimon, a Digital Monster.”

“A Digimon, I have never heard of such creatures” Twilight said in a somewhat annoyed voice. She turned her attention towards the other ponies to see if they knew anything. However, they all just shook their heads. She sighed as she looked back to Marcus and asked,” Okay then, what about those other creatures?”

Marcus smirked as he said,” Well the two creatures I fought were also Digimon, a Megakubterimon and a Barbamon to be exact.”

The white pony turned her head to the side and asked,” Um excuse me darling, but are those their names or what they are.”

Marcus looked at the white pony and said,” Well technically it is both. You see a typical Digimon’s name is also the name of that species of Digimon. However, that “name” of a digimon changes as we grow stronger and goes through a process called digivolution.”

The white pony gave a quick nod before asking,” I see, then what might your name be?”

Marcus began to smirk once again as he said,” I am afraid it is impolite to ask someone that question before giving your name first.”

A light blush appeared on the white ponies face as she said,” Oh forgive me darling, that it quit unlady like of me. My name is Rarity, charmed to meet you.”

Marcus gave a polite bow and said,” My name is Marcus and I am a Impmon.”

“Wait a minute I thought you said that for Digimon their species name is also the name they go by?” Twilight asked in a rather harsh, and a tad bit angry, tone of voice. With narrowed eyes as she said,” Unless that was a whole bunch of nonsense.”

Marcus shook his head as he said,” Nope, everything I have told you is the truth. It is just that I am different then most other Digimon is all.” The ponies looked at him as if to tell him to go on, which just made him sigh. He then said,” Look I wasn’t always a Digimon, that is all that I can tell you.”

The orange pony scoffed as she angrily said,” What in tarnation do ya mean, how can ya just start being what ya are?’

Marcus shrugged as he said,” Like I said all that i can tell you is that I didn’t always used to be a Digimon. I would love to tell you more, but I am afraid that I myself am still trying to figure it out myself.” As he said this he gave them a look as if to ask not to press the matter anymore.

The orange pony was about to say something, but was stopped by Rarity who said,” Applejack darling, if he can’t tell us any more than that then we should move onto another question.”

Applejack sighed as she said,” Fine, but there is somethin else I want to know.” She inched closer to Marcus until she face to face with her and asked,” What about those other two, the ones with them bird wings?”

“Oh that was me” Marcus said like it was no big deal.

Applejack looked at Marcus as if he was crazy and harshly said,” What in tarnation are you going on about, you ain’t look nothing like those two!” As soon as she finished a puff of smoke shot out of her nostrils.

Marcus sighed and said,” Like I was saying earlier with the names, we Digimon go through a process called Digievolution. Which is a proses in which a Digimon transforms into another Digimon, you can kinda think of it like growing up.”

Twilight raised an eyebrow towards and asked,” But if this “digievolution” is like you say, then why are you like this now?”

Marcus looked himself over as he said,” Well I did say it is kinda like growing up.” He looked back up at Twilight and said,” You see a Digimon can revert back to a prior form when a certain amount of damage is inflicted, or when we simply run out of energy to sustain the form.” A wicked smirk started to spread and said,” If you untie me and give me something to eat then I can show you.”

“ Yeah right, like we would be foolish enough to..” Twilight said in a a cocky tone before suddenly being cut off by the pink pony tying Marcus and handing him a cupcake. Twilight looked at the pink pony in shock and yelled,” PINKIE PIE!!”

Pinkie Pie looked at Twilight and said,” What he wanted something to eat.”

For a moment everyone in the room just looked at Pinkie in shock. Marcus however, not wanting to let this opportunity to pass him by. He quickly ate the cupcake and stood up. Now with some gas in his tank he closed his eyes as a white light overtook him as he digivolved into Beelzemon.

Now all eyes were off of Pinkie Pie and on Marcus, who just smirked. With a twinge of wicked glee in his voice asked,” So is this enough or do you need more proof?”

Twilight was lost for words for a moment before finally saying,” No I think that was more than enough.” She looked Marcus over before asking,” So what are you now?’

Marcus crossed his arms as he said,” Well this form is called Beelzemon, and from here I can take on two augmented forms. However, to go into those I need special items.” He looked around for his grimoire which was on the conference table. With a flick of his wrist the grimoire flew from the table and into his hand. “This being one of said items” he said as he held the book to his side.

Twilight looked at the book and began to reach her hoof out to touch it, but was quickly stopped by Marcus’s tail wrapping around it. She let out a slight grunt as his metal tail tightened its grip before quickly yanking her hoof back, out of his grip. After a quick look at her hoof she looked to him with a glare and, with venom in her voice, asked,” What in Equestria was that for?!”

Marcus glared back at Twilight and said,” I am not overly fond of people trying to touch something of mine without asking first.” He looked around to see any sort of exit and smiled once he saw one. He started to walk towards the exit, but was stopped when Applejack walked in front of him.

Applejack looked him in the eye and said,” Right sorry sugarcube, but i’m afraid that ya can’t leave just yet.”

Marcus looked back at Applejack and let out a long groan. In one swift motion he reached down and took ahold of his Berenjena, before pointing it at her. “Alright I have put up with this for long enough, so get out of the way or get hurt” he said as he readied himself to fire.

Applejack looked at the weapons and asked,” What ya gonna do with that thing?” Without saying a word Marcus aimed the shotgun in his left hand towards the sky and pulled the trigger, causing a loud boom and crystal shattering to be heard. She along with everyone else in the room looked shocked as pieces of broken crystal feel to the ground.

Marcus aimed his weapon back at the orange pony and the two just stared at each other. The air started to feel heavy, as if the room itself was waiting to see what was going to happen. However, before anything could happen Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came bursting into the room.

Fluttershy frantically looked around before fixing her eyes on Marcus. She quickly ran up to him and said,” Oh Marcus there you are, I was worried that something bad had happened to you.”

Rainbow Dash flew above Fluttershy and said,” Yo Flutters, read the room a little.”

Fluttershy looked up at Rainbow Dash before looking back to Marcus and finally noticed his weapons where his guns were pointed at. With a gasp Fluttershy asked,” Oh my, Marcus what is going on here?”

Without turning his head he said,” What’s going on here is these ponies hog tied me, dragged me here, started asking me a bunch of questions, and now they are trying to stop me from leaving.” He tightened his grip on his weapons and said,” So if this is how I get to leave then so be it.”

Fluttershy frown as she forced her way in between Applejack and Marcus, causing his guns to now be pointed at herself. She looked up at him with pleading eyes and asked,” Please lower your weapons, and let’s talk about it?”

Marcus didn’t move an inch and just stared at Fluttershy, before letting out a a sigh and lowering his Berenjena to his side. “ Fine, as long as you stop looking at me like that” he said in a defeated voice.

Fluttershy smiled warmly at Marcus and said,” Thank you.” She turned her attention to the Twilight and the other ponies and said,” Alright if it is okay with everypony then I suggest that we call it a day here and if there are any more questions that still need to be answered then you may come by my cabin later.” Twilight opened her mouth to try and object, but was quickly shut down when Fluttershy gave a quick shot of her stare. With a quick nod she said,” Okay then I think we should all call it a day.”

No one said anything at first until Twilight sighed and said,” Fine we can call it a day.” She then glared at Marcus as she said,” However, don’t think that this is over. I will be keeping an eye on you!”

Marcus glared back at Twilight before turning his back to her and walking towards the door. As he walked he said,” Oh don’t you worry, I don’t plan on going anywhere any time soon.” When he reached the doorway he stopped. He turned his head to the side to reveal a wicked smirk and said,” Besides this place has offered me a whole lot of fun, and I imagine things are just going to get a lot more exciting.” He turned his head forward before walking out the doorway.

Merry early X-Mas everyone! I am so happy to finally have finished this chapter. I wanted to finish this a long time ago, but life kinda got in the way. Hope you all like it and look forward to hearing from you all latter.

Several weeks have past sense the little “interview“ that Marcus had with Twilight and her friends. During that time very little happened, aside from the occasional Digimon attack. However, when he was able to get a moment of peace he devoted himself to training in his different forms. Well that and just helping Fluttershy with her animal friends.

For the first time sense he got to this world he has started to feel at home, and that kinda scared him. So like most well adjusted people, he buried these feelings deep down where they could never see the light of day again.

Now aside from that all that he currently found himself relaxing in his Impmon form on the couch in Fluttershy's living room. He just stared at the ceiling in total silence before saying,” Whelp i’m bored.” Quickly sitting up he crossed his legs and set his hand on his knees and began to think. What could he do to alleviate this boredom?

As he was thinking the front door to the cottage opened and Fluttershy walked in carrying a bag of groceries on her back. She called out,” Marcus i’m back, and I brought groceries.”

This took Marcus out of his thoughts and with a groan said,” Good to know, thanks for the update.” He laid back down on the couch, acting as if he never heard Fluttershy's statement. This eaned him a swift kick to the gut to the gut from a little white demon bunny ironically named “Angel”. “ You little devil I swear to make your end life in the cruelest way possible!” He angrily said while trying to regain the air that was knocked out of him.

Fluttershy let out a defeated sigh as she said,” Boys how many times do I have to tell you not to fight.” A maternal glare then appeared on her face, causing both Marcus and Angel to feeze before backing away. Her glare was replaced by a gentle smile as she asked,” Now Marcus can you please come help me unload these groceries?”

With a groan Marcus jumped off of the couch and started to walk to the kitchen. However, before he reached the threshold he looked back at Angel,still sitting on the couch. A wicked smirk then spread across his face as he raised a single finger, a purple flame igniting on the tip, before he flicked said finger at the rabbit, setting his tail on fire. This caused the little varmint to shriek in fear before running to a near by water dish to douse out his tail.

Marcus chuckled sinisterly, but was quickly cut off when he was knocked upside the head by Flutterhys tail. He rubbed the back of his head before looking up at a very annoyed Fluttershy with another maternal glare aimed right at him. With a shrug he said,” Sorry not sorry.”

Fluttershy shook her head as she walked into the kitchen, followed closely by Marcus who still had a smirk on his face. Once the two had finished unloading and putting away the groceries she asked,” So what do you have planned to do today?”

Marcus shrugged before interlocking his hands behind his head while saying,” Honestly I got nothing, I just don’t know what to do today.”

Fluttershy smiled as she said,” Well if you want something to do then you could come with me to Applejack’s farm if you want? She told me that her and her family were having some problems with finding their trees knocked down.”

Marcus thought for a moment before saying,” Sure, that sounds more fun then doing nothing.”

Fluttershy nodded and said,” Then it is decided.” She crouched down enough for Marcus to climb onto her back.

This was something that Marcus was growing more and more accustomed to, at least when he is in his current form. Of course this wasn’t really a problem given how he could just digivolve into his Beelzemon form and ride Behemoth wherever he wanted to go. But, and he would never admit this, he didn’t mind being carried around every once and a while.

Without a word Marcus climbed onto Fluttershy's back and the two left the cottage, heading for Sweetapple Acers. The ride went smoothly to his surprise. Sure he still got the odd look here and there, but nothing to bad. Once the two got to the farm he jumped off her back and asked,” Okay were here, now what?”

Fluttershy looked around around and said,” I don’t know really, Applejack told me she would meet here.”

Marcus groaned as he said,” Well while you wait for her here I am going to go look around.” Before Fluttershy could disagree or argue he already jumped over a nearby fence and walked into the orchard. As he strolled through the sea of apple trees he gazed up at the fresh fruit ripe for the picking.

A snap of a twig caused Marcus to stop in his tracks. He looked around, trying to spot anything, but didn’t see anything. So he decided to continue his walk like nothing happened.

After a bit of walking Marucs came to a strange clearing. It was if the clearing was not always there. The ground looked torn apart like something had been pulled out and dragged across it. However, at the center of the clearing there stood a single large apple tree with a single patch of moss growing in a almost mustache shape on the trunk.

Something about the tree put Marcus on edge, almost like he had seen the tree somewhere before. Hesitantly he walked towards the apple tree. However, as he drew closer to his target his nose was struck with them most tantalising aroma, like a fresh apple pie had been placed in front of him.

Just as Marcus had gotten to the tree vines suddenly shot down from the trees branches, binding his arms while lifting him into the air. He looked at the vines before looking back to their source. He watched as the once stationary tree began to shake as two wooden arms appeared from bind the trunk, one holding a cane, and a pair of yellow eyes opening in the middle of the trunk.

Like a bolt of lightning Marcus realised why the tree looked somewhat similar, it was a Cherrymon. The only difference being how instead of the cherries it had apples.

The Cherrymon squinted its eyes at Marcus and asked,” Hello little Impmon, what brings you to this quaint little place?”

Marcus shrugged his shoulders and said,” Oh you know, just thought I would go for a walk through the apple orchard.” He then glared as he said,” But right now I seem to be held against my will by an annoying piece of lumber.”

The Cherrymon glared back at Marcus as she said,” Well aren’t you a spirited little demon, quite annoying.” He pointed his caine at the bound demon and asked,” So what shall I do with you?”

Marcus stayed silent for moment before smirking and saying,” Oh you shouldn’t be worrying about what your going to do to me.” His body started to glow with a white light as he continued,” You should be worrying about what i’m going to do to you!” The light then fully encompassed him and started to grow. Suddenly the light disappeared and Marcus had Digivolved into his Beelzemon form. Quickly he flexled out, breaking the vines and fell to the ground.

The Cherrymon gazed warily before julting his arm forwards while yelling,” Vine Attack!!” This sent out ten vines from his branches, all headed for Marcus. However, in one quick sweeping motion of his hand shredded the vines.

Marcus smirked wickedly as he watched the shredded bits of vine fall to the ground. His attention turned back to the arber digimon. He disappeared from Cherrymon’s sight in a blur, causing it to look around fervently. When he managed to catch sight of him again it was when Marcus was right in front of him with his claws ready impale him.

“W-what, please don’t do anything rash!?” Cherrymon asked pleadingly.

Marcus looked Cherrymon dead in the eyes and with a stirn glare asked,” Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t smash you to splinters right now.” He punctuated that the end of the sentence by slowly stabbing his fingers into Cherrymon, the sound of wood snapping echoing as he did so.

The Cherrymon started to shake like a leaf as he said,” I-I can tell you how we got here, how every one of us got here!”

This intrigued Marcus slightly, or at least enough not to take him out right away. He slowly removed his claws and said,” Okay you’ve got my attention, now spill.”

Cherrymon took a few deep breaths to calm down before saying,” Thank you.” He then put one arm behind his back and rested the other on his cane in front of him. “Alright to start off I believe that I should say how I got here. Like many other Digimon I was minding my business just relaxing in one of the many forests when all of the sudden a bright light blinded me. When I could finally see again I was standing in a circle with many of these ponies surrounding me.” Cherrymon explained.

Marcus crossed his arms as he thought about what the Cherrymon said. It reminded him a lot of how he himself got to this world. “Okay then, now how did you end up here specifically?” he asked curiously.

Cherrymon moved his arm out from behind hs back and brushed his mustache while saying,” Well as for how I got here, that is hard to say. One minute I am stuck in hat facility being poked and prodded by those ponies when all the sudden everything went dark for a moment. When the lights finally came back the ponies were gone and the door to my cantonment cell was wide open.”

Marcus cocked his head the side and asked,” Is that really it?”

Cherrymon shook his head yes and said,” That is as far as my memory serves.” He warrily then asked,” So what happens now?”

Marcus shrugged as he said,” Well I have to options. The first being I just end you right here and now, and the second being you getting out of here.” He looked at his claws and acted uninterested while saying,” Either way as long as this all ends soon I don’t really care.”

Cherrymon’s eyes grew wide in surprise, he was allowed to choose what happened to him. He let out a small cough into his hand and said,” Well seeing as I don’t want to be turned into a digiegg, I think I would rather move on from here.” With is melincolik sigh he then asked,” However, to where would I go?”

Marcus groaned as he dragged his hand down his face and said,” I don’t know the Everfree forest, you should feel right at home there.”

Cherrymon raised an eyebrow and asked,” The Everfree forest you say, where might that place be?”

Marcus pointed towards the direction of the forest and said,” Just head that way for a bit and you should find it. Just on your way don’t destroy any more if the Orchard on your way got it.”

Cherrymon nodded and said,” Alright then that is what I shall do just that.” Without another word the Cherrymon rose up, using its roots like legs and walked away. All the while making sure not to do any more damage to the orchard.

When the wooden digimon was no longer in Marcus’s sight he let out a sigh of relief and turned back into his Impmon form.“ Well at least that is taken care of, now what to tell Applejack?” Marcus mussed to himself.

“I recon ya should tell me why my orchard looks like a war zone!” said a very angry southern voice said. Marcus froze in place and slowly turned around to see a very pissed off Applejack and a worried Fluttershy.

Marcus’s rubbed the back of his head and nervously said,” W-well you see..” Deciding now was a good time to make his exit and jumped away. All the while he could hear Applejack yelling at him to come back, but he didn’t listen. He decided he would explain everything later, because for now he had a lot to think about.

Who was the one who let Cherrymon out, why did they let him out, and how many more were released alongside Cherrymon? However, there was one question that struck him more than any of the others. Why were digimon being brought here by the ponies in the first place?

Unbeknownst to Marcus he was soon going to get al the answers he wanted and then some.

Hey guys here is a new chapter, hope you enjoy.
