Fiction
When Leon was younger, he lived in Japan and was childhood friends with Eiji Nagasumi.

One day, when out at a with his family and Eiji's family, Leon saw Eiji fall off a cliff and into a river. Eiji nearly drowned, though survived.

At some point, Leon had visited Abadin Electronics with his father. Whilst there, Tomonori Ryusenji had shown Leon a video of the, followed up by him giving him Digimon Dock with a on it figuring he could raise the Digimon well. Leon had lots of fun raising the Digimon, and upon digivolving it up to the Rookie level showed it off to his best friend – Eiji. The two bonded over how cool was, though their friendship eventually drifted apart as exams kept them busy which was followed up by them going to different schools. This got even worse when Leon moved back to the United States.

Leon spent his youth desiring to study Digimon and upon becoming old enough applied to join Tokyo University of Electrical and Computer Engineering since it would allow him to return to Tomonori, who worked there. During this time, he had also given updates on Pulsemon, with Tomonori telling him how to upgrade his Digimon Dock as thanks. As he learned more and more about Digimon, he learned about the rampant amount of Digimon related crime and was able to fight against them with Pulsemon. He was able to learn about a battle that was going to take place between some cyber terrorists and the American police but was unable to do anything as Machinedramon easily defeated Pulsemon and took out a plane killing over three hundred people of varying nationalities. He remembers feeling disgraced at losing so easily, and how he had taken on mission after mission to increase his strength so that he could one day get revenge. He trained not only Pulsemon, but himself, becoming not only the smartest person in his school but a master martial artist as well. Desiring only to stop Digimon related crimes, he turned down multiple opportunities wanting only to work under Tomonori – which he had managed to achieve upon returning to Japan. He had even turned down woman after woman, with women throwing themselves at him due to his smarts and strength but was focused only on stopping crime and had no time for dating. He had become so smart, he even advised the United States government, police, and military. Now able to access to the Digital World as a worker of Tomonori, Pulsemon became stronger and stronger with the duo becoming famous. He was able to attend the University as part of a study abroad program and whilst living in Japan, rented a room belonging to Tomonori. Alongside his studying, Leon worked as Tomonori's personal assistant so would do things such as booking flights and hotel rooms for him and would accompany him abroad to various meetings and academic conferences.

At some point, just as the DigiPolice had cornered the 's in the The Last Coast and defeated one of them, a Mindlinked Pulsemon suddenly appears on the scene and defeats the other three. It picks up the Digi-Egg they had stolen, mocks Satsuki Tamahime for being soft, then runs away too fast for anyone to do anything about it. Satsuki, upset that the evidence had been stolen, yells out for Pulsemon and Leon to give her the evidence back.

One day, after Leon finishes having a shower, Pulsemon — who was Hololized in his room — tells him that the Sons of Chaos were up to something. It tells him that they were expanding their numbers, and a code cracker (Eiji) had fought the DigiPolice in the Wall Slums. Leon didn't find this to be unusual, since the two groups fought all the time, though becomes more interested upon learning the battle had taken place in Ninth Avenue. He asks Pulsemon what relation the cracker had with the SoC with Pulsemon excitedly telling him the SoC channel was ablaze with rumours about the mysterious cracker.

In the middle of the night, Leon wakes up screaming having had the same nightmare about the accident once again. Hololized Pulsemon rushes to its partners side and asks if he's okay though Leon insists he's fine. Pulsemon tells Leon to go back to sleep since he has an early class the next day though Leon rejects the idea and instead decides to get up and start his day. He complains about the teacher, leading Pulsemon to wonder if he even needs to bother graduating since he works for Abadin Electronics already though Leon insists he has to as he promised his father he'd graduate and that being a college student with too much free time lets him do "other things" anyway. As Pulsemon jokes about that being "ethical hacking", Leon goes to the bathroom to have a shower.

Leon somehow learns about the Sons of Chaos's plan to hack in the X Nation's server and get revenge against them for framing them for crimes they had committed with Machinedramon, with him possibly having learned from Ryusenji who had learned about it from Eiji. When the Mindlinked Eiji and Marvin Jackson break in, they find Machinedramon held in place by a bunch of tools with Marvin sending his to attack it. He has Airdramon digivolve to and attack Machinedramon, trying to free it as their goal was to capture it and make it their minion. Leon, who had been lying in wait, has come out and easily defeat Megadramon.

Eiji and Loogamon looked on in shock – unaware of who had even defeated it. They panic, looking over Megadramon, worried for Marvin since if it takes enough damage it could kill not only Megadramon, but Marvin as well. The other SoC members arrive, and ask Eiji why they hadn't captured Machinedramon yet. They see Marvin's Megadramon knocked out and wonder who had done it, since they had acted as a decoy to keep most of X Nations defences busy. They shoot down Eiji's suggestion that maybe the DigiPolice had caught onto their plan, since the Japanese police hacking another countries server would cause a massive international incident. Kazuchimon proceeds to defeat every member of the SoC, including, with the SoC members realizing who it was as only Leon Alexander was known to own a Kazuchimon. Unable to do anything, they watch as Kazuchimon kills the still trapped Machinedramon. Leon tells it to return to being a Digi-Egg and hopes that upon its revival it would be taken in by a nice person, rather than an evil hacker. He tells the SoC that he had decided to help their operation to stop X Nation doing crimes but couldn't allow them the pleasure of doing it themselves as he hated all hackers. Loogamon tells Eiji they need to flee as the mission was a failure, with Eiji refusing to leave Megadramon/Marvin behind. Loogamoon protests as they weren't friends with Marvin, but Eiji refuses to budge as he thought Marvin was as nice guy and he actually had become friends with him. He tells the other members to get Megadramon to safety, and as they do so he will distract Kazuchimon. The other members doubt he could defeat a Mega but Eiji simply tells them to do as he says.

As they try to do so, Leon demands to know where Tartarus was and tells the SoC he will ruin their reputation as he had heard none of their missions had ever resulted in one of their members dying. Feeling cocky, Leon has Kazuchimon de-digivlve to figuring that as he had already taken out Megdramon and Machinedramon he no longer needed to waste some of his Mindlink time at Mega as he would still be able to kill the other seven with his partner at the Ultimate level. Loogamon points out that as Leon was mindlinking he was on a time limit as well, and figures they could save everyone by stalling long enough. Loogamon digivolves to and attacks Boutmon, with the force of its attack enough to stop it before it could reach Megadramon. Leon is surprised at just how strong Loogarmon was, with Eiji mocking Leon, telling him that he had actually de-digivolved as he was almost out of time. Megadramon wakes up, with Marvin telling everyone to flee as well as telling Leon he had committed a grave mistake in making an enemy of the SoC. Boutmon de-digivolves to Pulsemon and as Eiji looks at it, he recognizes it and wonders why. He then remembers, his childhood best friend Leon had shown him his partner Digimon a long time ago with it being the same exact Digimon. Realizing that meant he was fighting Leon, he Hololizes – which also causes Leon to hololize as well. Not only was Eiji surprised to see Leon, Leon was surprised to see Eiji. Their reunion is cut short however as more X Nation hackers arrive, causing everyone to flee before they could be taken out by the reinforcements.

Eiji and Leon reconnect online, and set up a meeting to reunite and set up a meeting at Abadin Electronics.

Sometime later, having severed their Mindlink, Pulsemon and Leon wake up in the real world. Leon takes off Abadin Electronics mindlink endurance test apparatus, with the duo congratulating each other on their success at breaking the Mindlink world record. Tomonori arrives and congratulates the duo on having gotten revenge for the entire country of the United States of America, since the X Nation's Machinedramon had been responsible for WWW Flight 626's crash, which resulted in the deaths of over 100 Americans. Leon was pleased with this, since he wanted to get personal revenge against them for said terrorist attack against his home country. Happy at finally having been able to get his revenge, he reminisces about everything he had been through since meeting Tomori more than a decade earlier. He then tells Tomonori he has to leave, as he had a meeting with Eiji to attend.

Leon finds Eiji watching TV in a different part of the building and walks up to him. They go to a the café within DDL to catch up. Leon shows off Pulsemon to him once again, having done so when they were kids, with Eiji showing off Loogamon as well... though the air between the two Digimon was tight and awkward since they had been fighting only days before. They express shock upon learning they both work with Tomonori with Leon annoyed at the fact he'd hired Eiji to do things for him instead of having Leon do them since he was his assistant. Pulsemon pokes fun at Loogamon for only being able to get to the Champion level, something Loogamon isn't amused by, with the duo arguing over and over till their tamers put an end to it. As Leon tells Eiji he was the only person other than his dad that ever understood him, Hatsune and her friend, who had recently been hired to work for DDL, interrupt their conversation with Hatsune's friend fangirling over how cute the Digimon were. Hatsune was surprised to learn Leon and Eiji were friends, which was followed up by her friend fangirling over how hot she thought Leon was. Hatsune tells her friend not to harass employees of their boss, after which a big TV in the room plays the recent announcement from the leader of X Nation, in which he states he will get revenge against the hackers, with the four of them watching it. After breaking Eiji's heart by saying that hackers are lame dangerous depressed weirdos, Hatsune's friend is taken away from Eiji and Leon by Hatsune so that she would stop interrupting the boy's reunion. The surprise of the boys, their Digimon argue over which of the two girls was cuter. Eiji and Leon continue their conversation, which moves to how they should be treating their partners as actual lifeforms rather than AI. Eiji tells Leon how he had recently changed his perspective and began doing just that thanks to Tomonori, with the mood changing completely when Leon tells Eiji he should quit not just the Sons of Chaos but hacking as well. This angers Eiji, since he had to do work as a hacker to make money — unlike Leon who attended a prestigious university and had a well paying job as Tomonori's assistant. This outburst surprises Leon, since the Eiji he remembered had good grades and asks how he ended up down this path as a hacker instead of something more reputable. Eiji brings up WWW Airlines flight 626, which instantly upsets Leon due to his personal history with it. As Leon refuses to talk, Pulsemon interjects and talks about the event instead with Leon learning Eiji's parents were two of the 300 killed by Machinedramon that day. Leon was shook, since he considered it his fault it had happened, feeling even worse now he had learned his childhood best friend's parents were on board and he had been unable to save them. Now knowing Eiji's personal history, he becomes confused as to why Eiji would work as a hacker with Digimon when one was responsible for his parents deaths. Eiji states he doesn't blame the Digimon but instead blames the hackers and though he isn't proud of being a hacker it was the only way he could make a living. Working with Tomonori had finally had him feeling proud of himself, something he figured Leon would understand as he worked with him too. Leon asks what Tomonori has Eiji doing other than raising Loogamon, though Eiji tells him he isn't allowed to tell him and leaves saying he has an appointment with Tomonori to attend. Pulsemon gives Loogamon a bunch of files before he leaves, with Eiji saying they should do this again sometime but without all the complicated stuff. The files had food in them, and a message asking them to hang out again soon.

As Leon Alexander returns home, he is greeted by Pulsemon who asks its partner if it wants a food or a bath. Leon is surprised and confused, with Pulsemon saying it had learned from Loogamon you're supposed to be polite and greet your superior when they come home. Leon protests, making it known that Pulsemon is his friend not his underling. He asks Pulsemon to look something up for him, with Pulsemon correctly assuming he wanted him to look up the passenger manifest of WWW Flight 626. With Leon wanting full confirmation of what he had discussed with Eiji earlier, Pulsemon searches the list and finds it has two Japanese citizens within it — almost certainly meaning Eiji's parents were onboard. Having failed to save Eiji parents, Leon declares he has no right to interfere in Eiji's life but still feels determined to get Eiji out of code cracking — even if it would cause Eiji to hate him. Pulsemon asks if they will have to fight Loogamon again, with Leon confirming they will have to do so if Eiji refuses to stop working as a code cracker.

Just beyond the Rusted Coast, a Mindlinked Pulsemon/Leon look around for the leader of the SoC having heard a tip that that's where they'd be. Unable to pick up the readings for what they're looking for they do down to a floating island of garbage data but still unable to find anything, Pulsemon begins to doubt the information they had received. Leon trusted the information, since it came from a reliable source — with Pulsemon not trusting it as it could be a trap with the SoC potentially leading them into a trap to get revenge on them for ruining their plan in the X Nation's servers. Leon, to the surprise of Pulsemon, actually hopes it's a trap since it would mean he can take out more SoC hackers. Leon suddenly yells out for Pulsemon to stay sharp, with his partner being attacked out of no where by Loogamon.

Having been warned just in time by Leon, who had seen Loogamon just in time, Pulsemon is able to avoid most of the hit though does still take minor damage from it. Eiji reveals he was the one who had sent the fake message, as he figured Leon would have no choice but to fall for it since he would obviously want to take out Tartarus. Leon asks if he is there to represent the SoC as Tartarus's mouth piece with Eiji confirming he is. Leon assumed this means Eiji is one of the leaders of the entire group, and refuses to believe him when he states he is actually one of the newer members. Eiji tells him that though he was happy to have reunited with him, he was left with no choice but to fight him as he had made himself an enemy of the SoC. Eiji tells him that they had allowed Eiji himself to decide on Leon's punishment and that if Leon were to agree to never interfere with the SoC again, they'd let him get away with just an apology. Leon turns this down, though still considering Eiji to be his friend tells him to quit being a code cracker and would help him with money if that was the issue. Apparently feeling mocked, Eiji turns it down as he didn't want to be pitied and had no desire to quit due to how good he had gotten at his job. He tells Leon to stop interfering with his work, with Leon laughing as Ryusenji had gone through loads of code crackers in the past and had thrown them all away like the trash they were. As Eiji reacts angrily, he realizes he had lost track of Pulsemon with Loogamon realizing just in time to be able to avoid its attack. Leon tells Eiji to leave Ryusenji alone and to stop using him, as associating with code crackers will ruin his reputation. Eiji takes this as jealously, and with Leon seeing he had no way to talk Eiji down has Pulsemon warp digivolve to Boutmon. Eiji reacts by having Loogamon digivolve to Loogarmon, though this only disappoints Leon since they're still stuck at the Champion level.

Unlike in their previous head to head battle, Loogarmon would use the flames of its Howling Burner to hide and upon Boutmon putting the flames out with its own attacks is surprised when Loogarmon had just been stood there doing nothing. This shock lasts long enough for Loogarmon to launch a counter attack at Boutmon, and before it can even do anything, is attacked from three separate directions from a sneak attack by Eiji's three Tyrannomon. It takes the brunt of the four separate attacks, with Leon confused as to how Boutmon hadn't picked up on them being there. Boutmon states it couldn't due the amount of junk data that was there, and that they had fallen right into Eiji's trap. Boutmon is able to shrug off the flames, as Eiji yells out about how he's going to defeat Leon even if he has to play sneaky to do so. As their attacks clash, Boutmon is able to overpower Loogarmon's flames and get in direct hits against its lower levelled opponent — but is unable to get many of them in as the Tyrannomon's distant attacks are able to distract Boutmon long enough to allow Loogarmon to distance itself. Realizing he wasn't going to win against four opponents who were just trying to wear them down and win in a long drawn out battle Leon decides to have Boutmon digivolve to Kazuchimon.

Seeing the Tyrannomon terrified of the Mega level enemy, Eiji recalls them to his Digimon Linker. Leon was surprised at him doing so, though tells him he'll never have to think about plans again after he murders him. Before they can react, they are trapped within Kazuchimon's Shido Ittetsu — meaning they could no longer escape. Leon suddenly declares that he had made a mistake, confusing Eiji, with Leon saying that Eiji didn't want money or sympathy — he wanted failure. He tries again to convince Eiji to give up code cracking but Eiji again refuses as he wants to be able to change his own miserable life with his own hands. Eiji demands for Loogarmon to digivolve further, wanting to win, and Leon, having given up on changing Eiji's mind, decides he will finish him off with Kazuchimon's most powerful attack. Refusing to lose and seeing they have no chance to avoid the attack, Eiji once again demands Loogarmon to digivolve.

Eiji's information had been shut off and he instead was looking at a blue screen within his partner's DigiCore, unaware of what was going on and unable to provide any commands. Loogarmon had indeed digivolved, with the newly digivolved fangs stuck right in Kazuchimon's throat. Though he is unable to get control again, Eiji is able to confirm Loogarmon had digivolved after hitting the device. Though he wanted to win, he realized the digivolution was a mistake as his newly digivolved partner was out of control. Leon even confirms this for him, as he yells out that his partner had lost control and the digivolution had failed. Remembering back to how Ryusenji had told him there was no such thing as a success or failure in digivolution, Eiji refuses to accept it as a failure, even with Leon continuing to insist it was. Since Eiji was no longer able to control his partners actions, Leon informs he had dug his own grave by forcing this digivolution to happen and is shocked when Eiji declares he had forced the digivolution so that he could defeat Leon even if it came at a cost like this. Upon seeing Helloogarmon though, he once again considers it a mistake and tries to talk his partner down but his words came to nothing. Shocked at the fact an Ultimate level Digimon could damage a Mega level, Leon becomes even more shocked when his device warns him about the C level and that he would need to sever his Mind Link soon. This has Eiji mock Leon, stating he too had dug his own grave. Seeing just how far Eiji had gone just to defeat Leon, he apologizes to his childhood friend — feeling responsible for what had just happened. Eiji realizes Helloogarmon manifested due to his own jealously and hidden desire to kill Leon due to said jealously and apologizes, having lost the will to fight despite knowing he has to win no matter what. Sensing this, Leon yells out for Eiji to focus as his willpower would be the only thing able to stop Helloogarmon's rampage. No matter what he did though, he was unable to get a single command through only getting error message after error message. Kazuchimon is unable to move, overwhelmed by the power of Helloogarmon, with Eiji yelling out for Leon to just run away to save themselves as their time was about to run out. Leon though, refuses to do so unless Eiji agrees to quit code cracking. Confused as to why he would risk his life just to try and stop Eiji's hacking, he demands to know why with Leon simply saying he had a reason as to why was doing what he was doing. He then brings up WWW Flight 626, telling Eiji there was more to the story but before he could finish his sentence Kazuchimon had managed to break free from Helloogarmon, the wolf's squeal cutting Leon off. It throws Helloogarmon into the electrified walls of Shido Ittetsu, the pain taking both Eiji and Helloogarmon out of the action. Eiji tries to restore access to the monitor to either heal his partner, or at least de-digivolve it back to Loogamon, and as he tries, Leon tells him the truth about the flight — that the X Nation's Machinedramon was responsible for it. Though Eiji was aware a Digimon was involved, he had no clue it was Machinedramon, but figured he would still have followed orders to capture Machinedramon rather than get revenge against it. Leon apologizes for it, with Eiji confused since he didn't think Leon had anything to do with it. Leon tells him that he was part of the team trying to stop Machinedramon and had failed, and as such blamed himself for Eiji's parents deaths with Eiji confused as to why he would apologise over it as it wasn't his fault, it was the X Nation's fault. Leon tells Eiji it is his job to stop evil code crackers and that he needs to stop Eiji, as he himself might end up causing his own terrorist attacks once day with Eiji annoyed as as he would never do such a thing. Rather than kill Eiji, he changes his mind and decides instead to save him from the code crackers and with enough time left for one last attack before his Mindlink time was up decides he will use it to stop Helloogarmon. As he's about to do so however, the barrier created by Shido Ittetsu is ripped open by a vortex with both Tamers surprised to see that of the  had just arrived via the vortex.

As it joins the battle, it freezes Helloogarmon in place with the freezing temperature of the ice enough to temporarily knock Eiji out. Helloogarmon was no longer a threat. Accepting that it was all over, and he and his partner were going to die, Eiji could only watch as Omegamon readied to pierce Helloogarmon's body with its Transcendent Sword. As Leon had just resolved to save his childhood friend, he refuses to let the Royal Knight kill him and has Kazuchimon tackle it. The tackle sends both of them into the vortex, away from Helloogarmon. As Eiji's screams become more and more faint, Leon apologizes to him even if he cant hear it, having simply wanted to save his childhood friend. As the two Digimon fall further into the vortex, Omegamon is able to break free from Kazuchimon's grasp but Leon reacts by having Kazuchimon use Shido Ittetsu which makes it so that Omegamon would be unable to escape. He had no desire to allow Omegamoon to kill Eiji, even if it would cost him his own life. Leon's device sends constant alerts, telling him he had used up all his Mindlinking time. Kazuchimon continues to cling to Omegamon.

Eiji sends Ryusenji a message about what had happened to Leon, with Ryusenji letting the doctors into Leon's building since he was the one who owned it. They rush Leon to the hospital with Leon having now found himself in a coma — suffering from DMIA due to having used Mindlink for too long. Tomonori was seemingly upset at seeing his student in such a state, with Leon now never able to be awoken from his coma. He whispers to Leon that he "knew one too many lies" and watches the monitor displaying his pulse.
