Chapter 3 - Dystopia 3: Immortal Wanderer

A day had passed since then, Bmon went to school again and it was now lunchtime.

"Hey, do any of you know about a rumor that's been going around? There's apparently an immortal being, wandering around the city? Isn't that neat?" Atsuko grinned.

"...I mean, I suppose it's neat, but…" Bmon paused as the classroom door opened, a boy walked into their classroom.

He glanced around before opening his mouth. "S-So… Does anyone here know where I am? I've only been in this city for a couple days so I'm still getting lost occasionally…" He asked them.

"Are you the immortal that Atsuko was just talking about?" Kana questioned. He nodded in response.

"Yes… I'm not sure how they found out I was immortal though. My name is Infinimon, nice to meet you all."

Bmon's eyes widened with shock. "Your name is really similar to mine… My name is Bmon." He told Infinimon.

Infinimon glanced at Bmon. "...Our names seem to be the only thing that are similar though." He snickered. Bmon looked at him with slight annoyance.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He glared at Infinimon.

"Bmon, stop fighting with him." Daisuke sighed.

"Oh, I have an idea! What if we all ask questions about Infinimon's life as an immortal!" Tsubasa suggested.

"T-That's fine with me, but what about telling me where I'm at…?" He sighed. Atsuko let out a laugh, "We can talk about that later! What is your favorite thing to do every day?" She looked at him.

Infinimon thought for a moment. "Well, I suppose I tend to watch a lot of films… Something about fictional creations is interesting, probably due to me being Immortal."

"Oh! What is the worst experience you've ever been through?" Kirika questioned.

"...I don't know how to respond to that, I guess the worst thing I've been through would be one of the many times I got cut in half… I may be able to regenerate, but that hurts a lot." Infinimon shrugged.

Benjiro glanced at Bmon while inching toward him slowly. "Is it just me, or are the girls the only ones asking questions?" He whispered to him.

Bmon shrugged. "I don't really get why they care about some random person's life, enough to want to know everything about them…"

Kioko's eyes lit up before speaking. "What is… Your favorite moment that you had in your very long life?" Kioko liked savoring precious moments, so this was like giving a cat, catnip.

Infinimon glanced at her. "Um… Does anyone here know about the Destructive Ring Incident from like, two hundred years ago?"

Kana raised her hand. "I don't just know it, I was in it." Infinimon's eyes widened, he hadn't realized that Kana was from the past yet.

"...O-Okay… Well, then do you remember how there was a certain person who stopped the rings from harming the people of that town?" He asked.

"..." Kana took a moment before she realized. "Oh! You're… the person who saved us?" She questioned.

Infinimon shook his head. "Yeah. I would say that would be the greatest moment I've experienced. No-one got hurt after all…"

Benjiro sighed "Wait here, Bmon. I'm gonna scare the crap out of this immortal." He grinned before walking off, leaving Bmon to wonder what he was about to do.

Benjiro carefully slipped out of the classroom, afterward he placed his hand on the cold floor. "I pray to thy souls… Assist me in scaring this guy…" An odd pattern formed on the floor. Suddenly, the air had become colder as several spirits started passing into the hallway.

"Now… All I need is-" He paused as he saw a small amount of rope laying on the floor. "Perfect, time to scare this guy senseless…" Benjiro glanced back into the classroom making sure everyone was distracted.

He threw the rope above Infinimon, and a spirit grabbed the rope, holding it in place. Then, Benjiro tied another spirit onto the rope. "Ok, go ahead and tug at the rope now." He told the spirit holding the rope.

"As for you, take the form of an ancient demon or something… Y'know, something scary." Benjiro told the spirit that was tied to the rope. It nodded and began to morph into a being of unspeakable horrors.

As it finished transforming, he froze, feeling slightly lightheaded. "W-Wow… I didn't think ancient demons looked that scary, the more you know I suppose…" Benjiro went back into the classroom beside Bmon.

"Y'know, you're probably also gonna get spooked by this." He grinned at Bmon.

"...I've played a lot of horror games, and I've seen a lot of spooky animes, how could it be that-"

It was time. The spirit pulled on the rope, causing the other spirit to be thrown into the classroom straight toward Infinimon.

The rest of the classmates, Bmon included, got freaked out by its disturbing form. Infinimon however, felt freaked out but at the same time, he instinctively defended himself by accident. He held his hand at the spirit and fired what looked like a REALLY large laser, it pierced the spirit and went through the ceiling within seconds, melting it.

Civilians looked up as they noticed a large beam of light shooting out of Kuroshi High. "W-What the hell is that?" One of them murmured.

All of the Classmates blinked in surprise. Kaede ran into the classroom suddenly. "W-What was that loud bang sound?!-" She paused as she glanced up, noticing immediately that there was a hole going through the school.

She looked back down at Infinimon. Instantly, he could feel Kaede glaring at her with an annoyed expression.

"U-Um… D-Don't have ghosts in your school?" He tried to calm her down.

Kaede sighed, before she started to transform into Bmon, leaving Bmon speechless. "W-What the hell? How did she do that?" Before anyone could respond, Kaede grabbed Infinimon's hand and smiled at him with a sense of anger.

She touched the desk in front of the classroom, causing a small portal to form. throwing Infinimon rather hard into it. Kaede went back to normal afterwards.

Bmon stood there for a moment. "D-Did you just throw him into the Archive? Wait, how the hell did you even just use my resonant just now…?"

Kaede turned to face Bmon, she still had a look of malice. "...Do you want to join him? Hmm?" She asked, preparing to transform back into him if needed.

Bmon panicked for a moment. "N-No thanks…" He let out a nervous laugh. Kaede smiled and went back out of the classroom.

Atsuko glanced at Bmon. "So… Where did he go? You said it was… the Archive?" She tilted her head.

He sighed. "Y-Yes… It's basically a HUGE hub, to let me go anywhere in the world… I wonder if the Guardian is gonna question why there's a random person in there…"

Atsuko tilted her head further. "The Guardian?"

Meanwhile… In the depths of the Archive, Infinimon had landed on the grass outside of the interior of the Archive, it resembled a giant mansion from the front.

"W-What the hell is this place?" He suddenly paused as he saw, something that resembled an axolotl, but… it was very, VERY big.

"...You aren't Bmon, who the hell are you-" Before he could finish, Infinimon ran into the mansion with a sense of panic, running past anything he saw.

He ran into a random door and ended back in Archived Dystopia, his body shivered at the thought of seeing whatever that was again. "N-Never again… I'm never going to a school ever again… They didn't even tell me where I was…" Infinimon sighed.
