Digital Monsters
Summary: Digimon, a simple card game that many found harmless. After all, no one would ever think that they could come to life and cause havoc. The same when for Miyuki as she started to play the popular card game. It was her only escape from the abusive live she had at home, but she never thought her wish to have a guardian angel and friends to call her own would come true. After meeting Takato, Henry, and Rika along with their own respective digimon she thought all was well until life decided to screw with her and her friends. Now she must find a way to protect her home, family and friends all the while trying not to die. Maybe it wasn't such an innocent game as she thought it was.
Thoughts: You have to be kidding me.
Speaking: "Let's do this!"
Attacks: Pyro Sphere
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or its characters. I only own my character Miyuki.
"Miyuki what are you doing?!" A voice shouted as a girl with shoulder length black hair ran towards her partner, Nibimon, with even thinking about the danger. The other digimons had already fallen to their current enemy and he was only getting stronger as he continued to absorb their data. They were lucky enough that none of them were killed, only forced into their rookie forms. However, that didn't seem to be the case for Nibimon as she was in a chokehold and her form started to fade in and out.
"Please stop this!" Miyuki yelled as she ran up to the two digimon with her black digi-vice tightly in her hand. She had no cards left and there was hardly any energy left to even put up a shield.
I'm completely useless here, even with all the modifications I made, I'm still so useless!
"Stop this! Please! Don't take Nibimon away from me damn it!" Miyuki continued to shout as she finally reached the two digimons and started to pound away at the feet of Nibimon about to be murderer. "Stop this Impmon!"
"My name is not IMPMON! IT'S BEELZEMON YOU STUPID HUMAN!" The tall humanoid digimon shouted in anger as he used his free hand to smack the human girl out of the way. Luckily, Miyuki dodged at the last second rolling roughly on the uneven ground before standing shakily on her knees, still pointing her digivice at her partner.
"Then there's no other way! Nibimon and I will bring some sense back to you!" Miyuki cried, her dark brown eyes, shimmering as tears threaten to spill.
"And just how do you plan to do that?! You're nothing but a stupid human who enslaves digi—"
"You're wrong!" Miyuki shouted her digivice suddenly starting to glow brightly. "Digimon are our friends our family! And family means no one gets left behind! If it means that I have share her pain so be it because a life without her is something I can't even fathom! I'll be damned if I let you hurt Nibimon anymore!"
"What's happening to her digivice?!" Henry pointed out as both Miyuki and Nibimon smiled lightly. "It's glowing!"
"Another digivolution?!" Rika cried, her eyes filling up with hope. "That's just what we need!"
"Go get them Miyuki!" Takato cheered along with the other tamers.
"Let's do this Nibimon!" Miyuki shouted as the beam from her began shot out into the sky.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Beelzemon shouted aiming his free claw towards the tamer.
"Miyuki no!" Nibimon choked out as she was powerless to stop the attack. The other tamers cried out in fear as well as the claw came closer to Miyuki.
She could only watch in fear as the claw came closer towards her and there was nothing she could do as it came into contact with her.
"Miyuki!" Something had pounced on Miyuki as she was rudely awoken up. Gasping for her breath Miyuki groggily looked up to see a pair of yellow eyes staring quite intensely at her.
"You're getting heavier each day you know." Miyuki groaned as she pushed off the catlike creature off her, smirking as it screeched in surprise. "You should cut off from those cream puffs."
"You know what I was debating whether or not I should dump water on you to take you up!" The cat creature hissed, it's rather unusual large blue glove like claws crossing over its small chest, "Next time I will!"
"I was kidding Gatomon." Miyuki laughed as she threw off her sheets and yawned. As she turned to look at her clock she was amazed it was an hour earlier than she normally woke up, well rather BlackGatomon would wake her up. "Why did you wake up this early?" The virus digimon then gave her a look of concern as she pounced onto the bed.
"You were having another nightmare. You were about to scream so I thought I would wake you up before your father could hear." She hissed out the word father before looking back at her partner in concern. Miyuki gave her a small grateful smile before scratching her head lovingly.
"Thanks Gatomon….where would I be without you?"
"Probably dead in a ditch somewhere."
"Gatomon!" Miyuki scolded, chuckling a bit but BlackGatomon could easily see the fear in Miyuki's eyes. "He will never do that despite what you think."
"Even though I'm a digimon and we really don't know the concept of parents, I know for a fact that pack members do not treat each other like that." BlackGatomon snarled as she moved to the side allowing her partner to get off the bed and change. "Seriously! Leave like I did!"
"And where would I go pray tell?" Miyuki asked as she threw her pajama top at the feline digimon who dodged it expertly. "Unlike you, we humans can't just suddenly become a member of another pack. Besides I'm fifteen. No one in their right mind will want to take in a teenager like me."
"Then runaway with me! We can steal—"
"Gatomon! How many times do I have to tell you, I'm staying here. It's what my brother wants anyways…" Miyuki trailed off as she thought of her older brother who was overseas on a tour with his band. They were getting quite popular nowadays and she hardly saw her brother of twenty years. He had left their house about two years prior to take a leap of faith with his band and that's when the abuse started for Miyuki.
Of course she never told her brother of this since she didn't want him to get a nasty reputation due to their father's abuse and….decide to go on drugs like their mother did. Miyuki's mother had reached the peak of her celebrity career when one photo on the internet ruined it all. Of course Miyuki and her family tried their best to help their mother from turning towards drugs and alcohol but it was too late. Just a year later, she died of an overdose and left her family with the brutal critics from the public. They had to move, change their name and alter their appearance slightly but at least they managed to live a somewhat normal life. Until her brother gotten famous and that's when hell broke loose at home.
Thankfully, Miyuki had met BlackGatomon around this time and with the digimon's help she managed to get through the daily abuse bit by bit. Of course whenever she was caught staying out late fighting other digimon she would get it rough, but at least she had a friend to talk to about her problems.
"One of these days I'm going to give that bastard a beating he'll never forget…" BlackGatomon hissed out as Miyuki came out of the restroom, fully changed; she wore a dark grey tank top underneath an open blue plaid button shirt and a jean skirt with black leggings. The digital tamer also work simple black and blue converse to finish off the outfit.
"Gatomon…."
"Sheesh I was kidding, really. Can't you take a joke?" BlackGatomon chuckled as she jumped onto her partner's shoulders; had Miyuki been younger, she wouldn't be able to support her digimon's weight.
"That's nothing to joke about Gatomon. Besides he is family and family means—"
"No one gets left behind or forgotten. Yeah I saw that movie a bunch of times." The digimon sighed dramatically as she passed a black and blue digivice to her partner. "Don't forget this—"
"That was one time!" Miyuki laughed as she clipped the digital arch to her belt loop before grabbing her school bag. "Since it's early want to stop by the Matsuda bake—"
"I call dibs on the cream puffs!" The Virus digimon shouted running out the door before Miyuki could say anything else.
"You're going to get fat if you continue eating like that." Miyuki smiled as she made her way out of the room. She winced as she saw the state of the living room; beer bottles littering the floor, take out plates piling up at the trash can, her father sprawled out on the couch snoring as the news played on the flat screen TV. Sighing heavily, Miyuki turned off the TV and placed a glass of water on the coffee table along with an aspirin.
"Morning dad, I'm leaving for school. Don't know when I'll be back. Try to stay sober tonight."
"mmm…..love you too Miyuki…." Her father mumbled out before going back to snoring. Making sure she had the spare keys, Miyuki locked the door to their small house and met an impatient BlackGatomon.
"Sheesh, are your legs made of metal? Hurry up! I wanna have fresh cream puffs!"
"Calm down you gluttonous cat, you'll get your puffs soon." Miyuki laughed as she and her digimon walked through the empty streets of Shinjukou towards the nearest family bakery.
"When are you going to talk to that Henry kid?" The feline digimon asked as they stood at a stop light, waiting for it to turn green. "He has a digimon right? A furball called terrisomthing?"
"I thought we went over this." Miyuki groaned as the light turned green and the two partners calmly walked the streets. "One I'm not telling because he barely got his digimon and I'm pretty sure he's not up for fighting digimon just yet. And two….um….it'll be a hassle to keep an eye on him…."
"Not that you already keep an eye on him already…stalker." BlackGatomon sneered as Miyuki's face turned red.
"I am not a stalker! Just because we happen to have the same class and our lockers are right next to each other does not mean I stalk him!"
"Whatever makes you sleep better at night." The small data feline laughed before Miyuki's face turned serious.
"You do realize that I don't have to buy you cream puffs right?"
"Noo! I'm sorry I was kidding! Honest!" Miyuki merely laughed at her partner's reaction before stretching out her arm for her digimon to climb on.
"You're so gullible."
"Only when it comes to cream puffs…."
"We just opened so it may take a—oh Miyuki! What a pleasant surprise." Mrs. Matsuka smiled as Miyuki entered the bakery with her digimon waiting patiently outside. "You're up early. I suppose you're here for the cream puffs?"
"You got me." Miyuki smiled sheepishly as she reached for her wallet. "Will it be a thousand yen?"
"And so smart too. Why can't Takato be like that?" Mrs. Matsuka sighed as her husband behind her laughed.
"Because you nag him all the time dear." His wife shot him a look which he smartly closed his mouth.
"If I don't push him, then how's he going to pass his high school entrance exams?" Miyuki nearly choked on the small sweet bread she just bought as she suddenly remembered why she had to wake up early….even if it was by accident.
"Shit! I mean—damn it! I have a project to work on! I have to go—"
"I'll ignore that cuss for now," Mrs. Matsuka scolded but handed Miyuki a bag of cream puffs and extra sweet bread. "It's on the house since you come by here every day."
"Thank you so much!" Miyuki thanked the bakery couple before racing out the door, her digimon quickly running behind her.
"Kids, they never have time to eat calmly do they?" Mrs. Matsuka sighed heavily before noticing fast paced footsteps coming down the stairs. In a flash of brown, blue and dark grey, her own son raced through the kitchen, grabbing the day old bread and rushed out the door.
"Hi, mom! Bye mom! Gotta work on a school project!" He managed to yell before he reached out of ear shot.
"Well that was a bit unsuspected, you think Takato and Miyuki-chan working together?" Mr. Matsuka asked as he barely witnessed his son's quick departure.
"Honestly I don't know but I guess it's a plus that he woke up early."
"Now only if he did it every day."
Miyuki's POV
God can this day drag on any longer? I thought as I stared out the classroom window, watching as the younger kids played on the playground. Those days were pretty simple….man I really wish I would just go back to being a kid and not worry about shit.
"Would you kindly tell us the answer Ms. Ackerman?" I barely managed to hear the teacher calling my name—well last name—and quickly snapped back to reality. Looking up I could see the entire class looking at me—some with pity while others looked bored—before noticing the math problem on the board.
"Plus or minus the square root of five over three." I quickly answered, calculating the problem in my head and sighed as the teacher gave me an annoyed look. Either I answered the problem correct and he was annoyed by that or he had asked a totally different question.
"Correct, but please try to refrain from day dreaming in my class." The teacher sighed before continuing the lesson. I sighed in relief but not before noticing Henry's stare.
"What?" I mouth before he shook his head slightly
"Nothing. Just…I'm still amazed you haven't skipped a grade yet that's all." I rolled my eyes at his question as he turned his back towards me and paid attention to the teacher.
You know you can always say that you lo—"
Gatomon, I swear if you bring that up one more time, I'll make sure you don't get any more cream puffs for a month! Easily, I could see my digital partner roll her eyes at my threat; I really didn't follow through with much of my threats. Besides what have I told you about abusing the mind link I created with our digivice?
Not to, but when do I listen to requests like that? It's so much fun making you look like you're losing your mind.
Gatomon is that all you needed to tell me or do you have something else to add? Because I'm actually trying to look like I'm actually paying attention for once. I sighed as I looked up at the board in boredom. The math problems were just too easy and as much as I wished for a challenge, I didn't want to seem like a freak so I tried to keep my intelligent mind to myself.
I may have….run into that Henry kid's digimon and possibly…..startedafight. With meaning to, I slammed my head against the head—mostly due to my partner's stupidity—and attracted the attention of the whole class again.
"Sorry, I just have a headache and I thought hitting it would be a good idea." I groaned as the teacher gave me a suspicious look.
"If you need to go to the nurse—"
"I'll be back in a minute!" I quickly took his offer and dashed out of the classroom in hopes of strangling my digimon and her urge to fight digimon wherever she goes.
I didn't mean to but he was being annoying!
"That does not give you a good reason to fight other digimon. I thought I taught you better than that."
But I've been feeling uneasy since morning! I thought I had eaten the cream puffs too fast but it's not going away! It's a digimon! It's going to bio-merge today! I stopped in the middle of the hallway to take in her words. Usually my virus digimon did have a good reason to fight—key word usually—and I did know she had a habit of fighting out of the blue when she had a feeling a digimon's about to bi-merge.
Do you know where and when?
Probably after school, and it's towards the center of those two buildings. You know the ones I hate? Once again I sighed heavily at the prospect of having to go to the mysterious twin towers just to fight the bio-merged digimon.
This day is just getting better and better isn't it. Damn it and I have tests to study for. Fuck. Alright, wait for me at the park. School gets about in about thirty minutes, we'll go hunt the digimon and hopefully things won't go ugly.
Roger Dodger.
I sighed heavily as I felt my digimon leave my mind and I calmly walked back to class, but not before running into a boy.
"Damn, sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." The brown haired boy in front of my apologized as rubbed his forehead, numbing the pain where both of our foreheads had collided before we ended up on the floor.
"Don't worry, it's not completely your fault, I wasn't paying attention either." I chuckled sheepishly before lifting myself up. "Hey, you look familiar….do I know you?" I asked as I took a look at the boy in front of me. Besides his blue eyes and brown hair, the boy wore a blue jacket with some dark grey pants and light green sneakers.
"I…wait your that girl who always comes by my parents bakery and buy a bunch of cream puffs." The boy exclaimed looking surprised as well.
"Oh so you must be Takato Matsuka. I'm Miyuki Ackerman…." I trailed off as I noticed a red and white digivice right next to Takato. On the screen, a broken red digimon egg appeared meaning that it had just hatched.
He has a digivice? First it's Henry and now it's Takato? Just what in the world is happening? Why are kids suddenly getting digimon?
"Oh um…it's a new um….game! Yeah game like you know that Tamagachi thing? Yeah it's just an new version of it." Takato laughed nervously as he picked it up and quickly hid it back in his pocket. "Well, it was nice meeting you but um I gotta go!" He said before running towards the opposite direction, not even looking at the digivice once.
"I don't even think he even noticed the hatched egg…." I muttered before walking calmly back to my class. "I just hope today won't be that bad."
"You know what, it's just as bad!" I growled as I followed BlackGatomon through several narrow alleys before reaching a miniature sewer. "Fuck this, if you're really curious, go on ahead by yourself, I'm not crawling though that shit."
"Aww, is the tamer afraid of getting a bit dirty?" My digimon laughed as she jumped down and easily crawled through the sewer with ease. "It's not that long, you won't be crawling through mud that much."
"You really want to see this digimon that badly don't you." I muttered angrily before stuffing my plaid shirt into my bag in order not to get it too dirty. "Do you have a crush on it or what?"
"You're just grumpy that you have to crawl through some dirt that's all." BlackGatomon laughed before shouting out "Hurry up, you're missing the show already."
"I'll give you a damn show." I muttered angrily as I crawled through the sewer trying to ignore the feeling of grime on my hands, hair, and legs. "Never again am I doing this." I said to myself as I finally made it to the other side, just in time to see a digital field appear just a couple yards in front of us.
"Show time!" My partner smiled as she rushed forward into the fog, not waiting for me whatsoever. Taking out a pair of sunglasses, I followed my partner and as soon as I rounded the corner I quickly hid myself as I saw a burst of light coming from the ground.
"Is that the digimon?" I asked my virus partner as she stayed near my leg, her tail, standing straight up due to the danger.
"Yeah and even though it's a rookie, it's pretty powerful to my own rookie form." BlackGatomon commented but before I could say anything, my digivice beeped rather loudly indicating another digivice in the area.
"What a tamer? Is it Henry?" I asked as I took out my digital to see its compass's app pop up and pointing towards the bright light.
"No it smells like that bakery kid! Matsuka?"
"He has a digimon?" BlackGatomon shook her head.
"I don't hear or smell another digimon with him."
"Then what if this is his digimon?" I asked as the light began to die down, revealing a dinosaur like shadow. "How do we know it won't toast Takato?"
"We don't. We just have wait and see." BlackGatomon muttered, her yellow eyes narrowing. Sighing heavily, I placed my digivice back onto my belt clip and leaned on the wall.
"Very well. I trust your trust your judgment and I know whatever you do is the right choice." Despite my words, I still couldn't help but feel uneasy as the light cleared up and the digimon's yellow eyes narrowed on the wall in front of him.
"I hate P.E" I growled to myself as I jumped over several hurdles before crossing the finishing line. "It's completely pointless."
"But you're really good at it." Jeri laughed as she gave me a bottle water.
"Just because I'm physically fit doesn't mean I enjoy running pointless for a grade." I sighed taking a large gulp of water. "It sucks enough that I'm forced to take a P.E class that I'm even supposed to be in…" I grumbled.
"Well that's what happens when you ditch P.E for an entire year last year." Jeri laughed as I looked away embarrassed. Yes it was true. I had skipped an entire year of P.E and despite my excellent grades, the principle decided to make me take another P.E class but since my own class was ahead, I was forced to take it with another class. And that had none other than Takato Matsuka.
What happened that night/afternoon when BlackGatomon and I witnessed the new digimon's bio-merged? Not much. Of course I was a bit afraid for Takato as the new digimon, Guilmon, seemed a bit out of control but if BlackGatomon didn't interfere and destroy the other digimon, then he wasn't a threat. Of course this was confirmed as Guilmon acted much like a child towards Takato and wanted to play rather than fight. But I still wanted her to keep an eye on the new digimon since he was the first of his kind.
Um Miyuki is this a bad time to talk? BlackGatomon's voice echoed in my head as our teacher was suddenly called in by another staff member.
Please do not tell me you lost sight of Guilmon and the reason why the teachers are panicking is because he got into the building?
Why do you come to the worst conclusion every single time I try to talk to you?
Because I thought as I saw Takato suddenly running off towards the school building looking rather distraught, Takato is looking rather worried and the teachers are never called in unless there's danger to the children.
Well then….I guess I don't need to tell you the news then.
GATOMON!
"Um….I have to….use the bathroom." I told Jeri who looked at me with confusion as I ran after Takato.
"But Mrs—"
"I'll be back soon don't worry!" I called back before muttering to myself, "I hope."
As I entered the building, I rushed up the stairs and as I finally reached the second floor, I heard the curious mutterings of several other students.
"I heard that it was a monster that the principle saw."
"Yeah and that it was supposedly red."
That's Guilmon alright. I thought as I pushed my way through the crowd and saw the broken cardboard box right in the middle. Gatomon, please tell me you're locating him right now.
I already have him in my sights. I'm amazed that I even lost him in the first place. He's like the nosiest digimon ever.
Where?
On the rooftop, he's just staring at the clouds for some reason…
"Please Gatomon, don't try to start a fight." I muttered, as I turned around and headed towards the stairs, not noticing a certain classmate of mine.
"Gatomon?"
Third POV
Miyuki quickly ran up the stairs and once she reached the entrance to the roof, she stopped to catch her breath.
"Man, even though I'm fit, stairs still give me trouble." She huffed before composing herself and slowly unlocked the door.
"Finally I thought I would have to baby sit this digimon forever!" The virus digimon said as she rushed towards her partner, weaving through her legs. "Hurry up and convince this digimon that eating the school food was a bad idea!"
"He ate the cafeteria food?" I asked, surprise that anyone, animals included, could even eat that stuff.
"He was being so noisy, I caught him red handed. I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen, not that he could when he was stuffing his face." The feline digimon gagged as Miyuki giggled.
"Well, considering that he hasn't died just yet, I think his stomach can handle anything."
"Takatomon? Is that you?" A childish voice asked as the digimon tamer opened the door all the way and made herself known to the digimon in front of her. Staring at the clouds rather childishly, a person wouldn't think that it would harm a person but as soon as the red dinosaur digimon turned around and showed it's pointy teeth and yellow eyes….well they could start questioning it.
"I'm not Takato." Miyuki giggled as the digimon referred his partner as a digimon.
Looks like he really is a baby after all if he can't tell digimon and human apart yet.
"Then what digimon are you?" Guilmon asked, tilting it's head in curiosity before it saw the other virus digimon.
"Before you go into fight mode, this is BlackGatomon, my digimon partner and she doesn't mean any harm. Right Gatomon?" Miyuki asked, staring hard at her digimon as she looked away.
"Right…"
"Anyways," Miyuki continued as if she didn't hear her partner's reluctant answer. "What are you doing up here? Especially at school? If someone saw you, you could get into really big trouble and I'm sure Takato wouldn't want that."
"He wouldn't?" The dinosaur digimon asked as he titled his head and Miyuki couldn't help but pat it.
"He would get so worried about you. And I would too. A digimon as nice as you shouldn't get into trouble."
"Oh sorry um…."
"Miyuki. My name's Miyuki—"
"Looks like newbie tamer has finally figured out where his partner is." BlackGatomon suddenly said, interrupting her partner and Guilmon. "He's running up the stairs as we speak and it sounds like he's been crying."
"Don't you make a comment on that." Miyuki scolded her digimon as she jumped onto her shoulder and rubbed her head against her tamer's cheek. "He's new at this so give him time—"
"Guilmon—oh um—" Miyuki turned around to see Takato rush onto the rooftop wearing his P.E uniform—just like she was—with his eyes watery and Miyuki had a feeling he would have hugged his own digimon out of relief if she wasn't there.
"Takatomon!" Guilmon cried out as he raced towards his tamer and jumped on him, laughing out of pure joy. "You came!"
"Ah wait Guilmon, you—people—Miyuki—"
"It's alright Takato." Miyuki laughed as the two of them sat up and looked at the new pair—mostly Takato since Guilmon was too busy hugging his tamer—in a new light. Standing proudly at the two new digi-destined Miyuki smiled softly at Takato before extending a hand to help the brunette up. "I'm a digimon tamer too. Meet my partner BlackGatomon, or Gatomon as I like to call her since BlackGatomon is a mouthful.
"Uhhh hi—I just—wow." Takato muttered in shock as he took a look at the veteran tamer's digimon who lazily yawn at the boy. "Another Digimon tamer, do you all have small digimon or is it just a luck of the draw?"
"Pretty much like that." Miyuki laughed as Guilmon suddenly gained interest in the other Virus digimon and tried to play tag with her. "So, I'm thinking you might need some help in keeping Guilmon out of trouble?"
Takato looked away in shame. Was it that obvious that he needed help? That he was such a noob that didn't even deserve his digimon?
"Um…I well…"
"Don't worry, it's a bit tough trying to get your digimon to listen to you. It took forever for Gatomon to listen to me so don't think it's not common. Guilmon will eventually stay out of trouble I can promise you that." Miyuki smiled as she patted her fellow tamer's shoulder. "He just needs someone to keep him company while you're away at school that's all."
"Stay away from me you overgrown lizard!"
"But Gatomon, I wanna play~!"
"It's BLACKgatomon!"
"You think so?" Takato asked as his own digimon finally caught up to the feline digimon and laughed as he held her in his claws. "I'm not a bad tamer?"
"Nope." Miyuki chuckled as she watched her own digimon play. It had been a while since the feline had anyone to "play" with so to speak and it gave the veteran tamer an idea. "Hey since I have a feeling Guilmon's old hideout is basically useless, I know a place where he can hide while you're at school."
Takato tilted his head in surprise. "Wait really?" Nodding vigorously, Miyuki just smiled.
"Yup. Meet me after school at the school gate and I'll show you the place!" Takato laughed thankfully as he gave Miyuki a heartfelt smile.
"Really? You're the best Miyuki."
"Well tamers have to have each other's back—" Suddenly the period bell rang out and both Takato and Miyuki paled at the sound.
"WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Quickly the both of them turned to their digimon who were trying their hardest not to laugh.
"Gatomon, stay out of trouble and help get Guilmon out of sight. We're going to meet at the school gates after school and I would like to avoid causing a scene!" The feline digimon sighed heavily as she jumped onto Guilmon's head.
"Fine."
"And Guilmon, please listen to um…BlackGatomon and try to stay out of trouble, I'll see you right after school gets out OK?"
"Ok Takatomon…are we going to play later?" Chuckling nervously, Takato nodded.
"Yeah, we'll play later—"
"Hurry up Takato or we're going to be late!" Miyuki shouted as she held the door open, waiting for her classmate to hurry on up.
"Ah coming!"
"Please don't tell me you planning on showing them that place are you?" BlackGatomon groaned as the four of them—two humans and two digimon—traveled through the park, most importantly the most secluded part of the park. Miyuki looked at her digimon with mild annoyance before it turned into a smirk.
"Why? I always told you that you'll have to share one day." The virus digimon huffed before looking away.
"Shut up…"
"Guilmon, stop that." Takato laughed as Guilmon tried to chase some squirrels.
"But if we're not here to chase squirrels then why are we here Takatomon?" Guilmon asked as he raced back to his partner's side.
"Because, Miyuki's going to show you a place where you can stay without getting seen by other people while we're both at school." Takato explained, looking around the park in awe. "I should have thought about using the park…"
"It's just a little ahead," Miyuki explained as they passed by an opened soccer field that surprisingly no one used. "It's a bit of a walk but I think that it's pretty—"
"Guilmon watch out!" BlackGatomon hissed, her eyes narrowing in anger as she pushed her tamer and Takato out of the way as a yellow blur suddenly crashed into Guilmon and dented the fence.
"Guilmon!" Takato cried out as his partner was almost down for the count and rushed towards his side before a voice stopped him.
"What a lousy fighter…" Both Miyuki and Takato looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a red headed girl with a broken heart t-shirt and jeans staring uninterested at them. Standing on a nearby tree branch, a yellow humanoid fox, wearing purple gloves waited patiently for her tamer's next order. "But a fight's a fight."
"Hey, what the hell did we ever do to you to provoke a fight out of the blue!" Miyuki shouted as BlackGatomon hissed angrily the Yellow fox digimon.
Renamon…rookie digimon. Pretty powerful for her level. She has two known attacks—Diamond Storm and Power Paw. Both are pretty lethal if either lands on any digimon's weak point but at least her most devastating attack—diamond storm—takes up some time to actually reach the target.
"But—but I dreamt you…" Takato muttered in surprise as he recognized the girl in front of him, surprising both females in the area.
"Just so you know Takato…that was pretty creepy." Miyuki muttered as she took out her digivice, preparing for what was probably about to come.
"Whatever, just clam up and get ready to fight. You can even join if you think your kitten has any fight in her. Are you even sure she's a champion digimon?" The red head taunted the small feline digimon causing several tick marks to appear on the digimon. "Renamon, walk all over them—"
"I don't think so bitch!" BlackGatomon snapped, causing a black Aura to surround her. "Miyuki I think it's time to teach this digimon and her bitch some manners!" Miyuki sighed heavily but a smirk appeared on her face.
"Even though your manners could use a bit of work, I think we can work something out. Gatomon, Let's teach them a lesson they won't forget anytime soon."
"Wait, can't we work something out!?" Takato asked, stopping BlackGatomon from attacking. "We don't have to fight…"
"What else do you think digimon are meant for little boy!" The red head tamer snapped, her violet eyes narrowing in anger. "Oh why am I wasting my breath on you. You know nothing about digimon do you? Your digimon's at least a rookie right?" At her question, both Takato and Miyuki looked at Guilmon's form with questioned looks.
Is he a rookie? I mean Gatomon said he was really strong for a rookie….
"Well I think he is? I never did this before honestly." Takato answered, not sure of his digimon's status confusing both the red head and Miyuki.
"Never done what before? Oh never mind, Renamon." Stepping back, the new tamer let her digimon calmly towards the two tamers.
"Wait no! Call her off—"
"Takato, sometime's there are fight you can't run from." Miyuki growled as he narrowed her eyes at the red head girl, thinking how a broken heart seem to describe her attitude towards digimon. "And I really don't appreciate how you think Digimon are just tools to fight! They're our friends and family!"
"Oh enough of this!" Renamon growled out, "Let's just get this over with!" Jumping high into the air, Renamon crouched her body as a green light began to glow from the center of her chest.
"Miyuki make sure the newbie doesn't get hurt!" BlackGatomon hissed as she crouched into position, her pupils dilating into slits.
"Of Course," Miyuki muttered as she grabbed onto a surprised Takato and pulled him close as she pressed several buttons on her digivice. "Just don't over-kill."
"Diamond Storm!" Seconds later, a furry of razor sharp shard came rushing towards us and even though most of them would hit the digimon, a good chuck of them would harm the humans. Renamon realized this too late however. "No! Look out!"
"I guess this will be your first lesson." Miyuki smirked as Takato's face morphed into fear as he realized that his digimon and him were about to become pin cushions. "Don't be afraid of the danger. If your digimon is fighting then there's no reason you should run and hide. Help them in any way you can."
"But how are we going to help them if we're going to get killed!"
"Simple, we use modify cards, but since that won't save our hinds right now, I show you my little secret." Miyuki winced at Takato as she thrusted her digivice towards the attack. "SHIELD!" In an instant, a blue electrical shield appeared right in front of them and deflected the shards before they could even land on them.
"Wha—how did she—"
"You can do that with your digi-vice?" Takato asked as the cloud of dust began to clear up to show that no damage had done to them. "Wait what about our digimon!?"
"Well, I think Guilmon is fine." Miyuki commented as Guilmon came unfazed out of the dust cloud, looking more menacing than before. "And as for Gatomon…."
"Bitch! You think you can get away with harming my Tamer! You got another thing coming!" the Virus digimon snarled, her yellow eyes glowing in the dust cloud along with a golden ring. "Come on Dinomon! Let's show her that no one messes with our tamers!"
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon called out as a red ball of energy shot out from his mouth and headed straight towards Renamon. Landing on a tree branch, Renamon quickly jumped away as Guilmon's attack nearly landed on her and destroyed part of the tree instead.
"Hope you didn't forget about me! Lightning Paw!" The claws on the small agile digimon glowed bright as she slashed them towards her attacker. The attack landed on Renamon and she was sent flying towards the red digimon. Both of them collided in the air and began a wrestle each other as Guilmon sank his teeth into Renamon's arm.
"Guilmon! Please stop!" Takato pleaded with his digimon as he saw the malice in his digimon's eyes and the reluctance to let go. "I don't even think he remembers I'm here!"
"Renamon that's just sloppy!" The red head girl growled out as she took out a card and swiped it in her digivice. "Digimodify! Armor activate!"
"Wait what's she doing?!" Takato asked Miyuki who only looked at her digivice without much worry.
"She's modifying her digimon so they can get the upper hand in the battle. Normally this would pose some trouble to tamers like you since you're new, but don't worry, Gatomon has it under control." She smiled as her digimon raced towards the two.
"That doesn't look too good!" Takato cried as Renamon's free arm became encased in a heavily armed metal pointing straight towards Guilmon's head. "Guilmon please run away! Listen to me!"
"For once listen to your tamer." BlackGatomon hissed as she grabbed the armored hand and pried it away from Guilmon's head. "Or don't you remember that if you don't listen you don't get to play?"
"Oh right!" Guilmon muttered as he let go of Renamon's arm and his eyes reverted back to the childish look they had before. "Takatomon, I listened! Can we go play now?" He asked his tamer as he ran towards him, smiling and not even paying attention to the fight right behind him.
"Wait Miyuki, BlackGato—"
"She won't need my help to defeat Renamon. If anything—ugh," Miyuki cried out as a burst of wind barely missed the two tamers as Renamon fired her attack. "We should probably make sure we're not that much in the way of the fight…."
"BITCH! YOU NEARLY HURT MY TAMER! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!" BlackGatomon hissed angrily as the two female digimon jumped apart from each other and stared each other down.
"What are you waiting for Renamon? Finish the job and download her data!" Miyuki snapped her head towards the red head girl and narrowed her eyes angrily at her words.
"What did you say? You plan on deleting my digimon?" The red head girl scoffed at Miyuki's statement.
"It's not my fault that your digimon's weak. If you plan on keeping her then you might want to reconsider—"
"Gatomon, I take it back, don't teach her a lesson. Destroy her." Miyuki snarled out and her partner couldn't help but smile wickedly at her order.
"I thought you never ask. Cat's Eye!" BlackGatomon shouted as she stared into Renamon's icy blue eyes causing the taller digimon to step back in alarm and freeze on the spot.
"Renamon what's going on! Attack now!"
"Gatomon, go for the kill!" Miyuki screamed as she gripped her digivice even tighter as Gatomon raised her paw again.
"With Pleasure! Lightning Paw!"
"Power paw!" Renamon shouted as she freed herself from the attack and her own hand glowed as well and the two attacks hit each other dead on creating a miniature explosion. Both digimon jumped away from the explosion before charging at each other again. Before the two could charge at each other again, a new voice rang out catching the attention of everyone at the park.
"Hey Stop it!" Looking up at the new voice the three tamers turned their heads toward the small hill and saw Henry standing there, with Terriermon on his shoulder.
"Henry?" Miyuki asked, her eyes wide with surprise. "Wha—what are you…"
"It's you…" Takato mumbled, his eyes also wide in shock as Henry turned to face the two tamers that had been attacked first. The small digimon on Henry's shoulder giggled as he jumped down and ran towards them.
"It's you it's him, and aren't you happy to see us!" Terriermon laughed as he went up to the two female digimon, stopping once he was in between them.
"Another Digimon? This is just getting a little too weird. They're popping up everywhere." Miyuki nodded, thinking similar thoughts as her.
Seriously, that makes four tamers. Why were we given digimon? What's our purpose to the digital world or even our world? Is something bad going to happen soon? Like in that TV show, Digimon Adventure? Ugh this is going to give me a head ache later on.
Tell me about it, I have to listen to the bunnymon yap now. The Black feline digimon sighed heavily as she tried to drown out his voice.
"You looked pretty good at the end. Didn't it feel funny rolling around in the dirt like that?"
"You should know since you smell like you did." BlackGatomon hissed softly to herself as the taller fox like digimon growled in anger.
"it's not very smart to mouth off to someone bigger than you." Henry scolded his digimon as he calmly walked towards the two tamers that went to the same school as him. If he was surprised that Miyuki turned out to be a tamer, his eyes didn't betray any emotions. Terriermon only giggled as he turned to his tamer and smiled,
"Henry, Momentai." Henry gave his digimon a soft smirk before he turned towards the red haired tamer and Miyuki.
"You take it easy. What are your digimon fighting about anyways?"
"That's a dumb question—"
"What the bitch means to say is that she loves to delete digimon so hers can get more experience and hopefully digivolve." BlackGatomon hissed as both the red haired girl and the virus digimon had a stare down. "I was merely protecting my tamer and the newbie. Although I'm pretty sure dinomon could have easily taken down Renamon if he wanted to." BlackGatomon smirked as Guilmon tilted his head in confusion while Renamon looked pissed at the accusation.
"We really need to work on your wording sometime soon Gatomon." Miyuki sighed heavily, slapping her hand to her forehead. "If your fighting urges weren't enough, your attitude will get you into more trouble."
"At least your digimon knows how to fight unlike the two other boys here it seems. Maybe another day we can have another fight, after all that's what digimon are meant for."
"Digimon are not meant for fighting." Henry cut in as Terriermon decided to jump on his shoulder, "They can do whatever they want to. They're not pets or slave, they're our friends." He smiled at his digimon as it snuggled closer to him. "They just want to do the same things we do—"
"I don't want to go to school, that's just—" Miyuki quickly grabbed her digimon and covered her mouth before she could say anything else.
"OK I think you had enough mouthing off to people. Why don't you call it a day and try again tomorrow with no fights?" the virus digimon merely pouted but nodded.
"Whatever. Renamon wants to fight and so do I." The fiery tamer snorted before turning around and walked the opposite direction. "Renamon." Without another word, the fox like digimon gave one last glare to BlackGatomon before disappearing in a swirl of leaves leaving the three tamers and digimon alone in the park.
"So I guess the secret's out?" BlackGatomon asked her partner as she squirmed out of her grasp and sat on her shoulder instead. Miyuki sighed heavily as Henry gave her a pointed stare while the bunny like digimon merely laughed, muttering 'I told you so' to his tamer.
"Um….where should I begin?"
"So you two know each other then?" Takato asked the two tamers as they leaned against the wall of Miyuki's hide out for her digimon that looks like it will soon turn into Guilmon's own hideout. It wasn't much, just a small fenced in entrance that was never finished for some reason. In the background, Guilmon and Terriermon played with each other while the older virus digimon stood back and watched, ignoring the bunny digimon's taunts to play.
"We sit next to each other in class." Miyuki muttered before sighing heavily. "Even though some of us know each other, I think it's time for a proper introduction. I'm Miyuki Ackerman, nice to meet the two of you." Miyuki bowed slightly at the two boys before they cleared their throats.
"Um I guess you both know me, since I kinda needed help with Guilmon….Um Takato Matsuda."
"And I'm Henry Wong, sorry it took so long to introduce myself." Henry chuckled nervously as Takato merely waved him off.
"Don't worry, you came right on time. I had a feeling if you didn't well….who knows what would of happened. If it was just me and Guilmon, she probably would have sliced and diced us." Takato sighed as he looked back at his digimon.
"I probably would have beaten the shit out of the foxiemon and downloaded her data to make sure that bitch never messes with Miyuki." BlackGatomon hissed angrily catching the attention of both Henry and Takato.
"W-what?" Takato gulped at the malice the virus digimon exerted before Miyuki slapped her digimon's head.
"Hey what was that for?!"
"To remind you that you really should think before you speak." Miyuki sighed as he looked back at the two tamers who stared at BlackGatomon with a bit of fear. "Sorry about that, it's just Gatomon's really protective of me as I am with her so when we both kinda lost our temper back there….well what would you do if someone threaten to delete your digimon!?" Miyuki huffed as she looked away.
"Don't worry we get it, but it's the first time I heard a digimon curse like that…" Henry muttered before noticing something on the cursing digimon. "Hey isn't that tail ring only on normal Gatomon and not BlackGatomons?" Before the digimon called into question could say anything Miyuki slapped her hand over the feline's mouth and answered for her.
"It's a touchy subject but yes, those tail rings usually belong on normal Gatomons but Gatomon is special so that's why she has one and please drop the subject, Gatomon is really sensitive about it."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to—"
"Momentai Henry!" Terriermon laughed as he and Guilmon continued to play with each other.
"Amazing to think that girl only thinks that digimon are meant to just fight and delete other digimon." Miyuki sighed heavily as she recalled the red haired tamer.
"Yeah," Takato muttered, smiling as he squatted down, "Everyone knows what digimon really want to do is eat." Both Miyuki and Henry laughed knowing all too well how true Takato statement was. "When I found out that Guilmon raided the cafeteria, I knew it was time to find a better place for him to hide, preferably one with a lock. Thanks for the hide out Miyuki." Miyuki merely waved her hand trying to hide her giggle as Terriermon and Guilmon began chasing BlackGatomon.
"Hey at least Guilmon might have saved our lives. It's only a matter of time before they poison us."
"Well, there's one use for a dino-like digimon." Miyuki chuckled, "He can be our taste tester."
"Yeah but I have a feeling, he wouldn't leave anything for us." Henry chuckled before Terriermon's voice interrupted the three tamers.
"Hey I'm hungry."
"But you just ate!" Henry cried but a small smile could be seen on his face as the two younger digimon calmed down. BlackGatomon took this opportunity to place herself on top of Miyuki's shoulder, hissing at the two digimon playfully.
"And your point is?"
"I'm hungry too Miyuki." The small Virus digimon yawned as Terriermon ran up to Henry and placed himself on his shoulder much like BlackGatomon.
"You gluttonous cat, you're always hungry." Miyuki sighed but scratched her digimon's chin affectionately. "Well it is getting late, we should get some dinner while we're at it. See you guys tomorrow I guess?" Miyuki asked while both boys smiled and nodded at her.
"Yeah, that sounds good, I could still use some tips with this whole tamer business." Takato chuckled nervously while Miyuki gave him a kind smile.
"Don't worry, despite what you think, you're doing pretty good so far."
"I'll walk you home." Henry offered, surprising both Miyuki and her digimon. "It's the least I can—"
"You don't need to." Miyuki quickly said, shutting up Henry. "I mean, we live in the opposite direction so um yeah, gotta go." And without another word, Miyuki quickly left the digimon hideout praying that Henry wouldn't try to follow her, she didn't want her dad to see her with anyone else besides her digimon.
"That was close wasn't it…" BlackGatomon muttered as the tamer finally slowed down into a walk once she was out of the park. "Miyuki…what would you do if he—"
"No one has ever been to my house and I plan on making sure that never changes." Miyuki hissed out before she sighed heavily. "Sorry that was a bit uncalled for but…please don't bring up subjects like that. They'll never happen anyways." The Virus digimon stayed silent before rubbing her head affectionately towards her tamer.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright."
"I hope so…" Miyuki muttered as she came to her house, wincing as she heard a beer bottle breaking and her father swearing. "I really do…."
"Henry, time for dinner!" Childish voice laughed as a small girl of seven opened the door to Henry's room and smiled as she saw Terriermon standing stiff as a doll on her bed. "Terriermon!" She laughed as she went to pet the supposedly stuffed animal, not noticing Henry's amused look.
"Careful Suzie, you'll rub off all his fur." The small girl only huffed as she reluctantly let go of the digimon and smiled happily as she skipped out of the room.
"No I won't, cuz it's Terriermon!" And without another word, Suzie closed the door to Henry's room, leaving him alone with his digimon.
"Alright she's gone now Terriermon." Henry laughed as his digimon let go of pose and relaxed on Henry's bed.
"Not soon enough." Knowing that his parents would come up to his room if he didn't come down soon enough, Henry began walking towards the door before pausing. HE turned around and faced his digimon with a slight frown on his face.
"Hey Terriermon—"
"I know, I know. That wasn't very nice." The digimon sighed and Henry could only chuckle at his digimon's answer.
"No it wasn't but that's not it…" Henry's voice turned somber and Terriermon quickly gave him his attention as his Tamer gave him a pointed look. "If you digivolved into your champion level, even Suzie wouldn't believe that you're a stuffed animal. You wouldn't be able to stay here anymore." Terriermon looked like he wanted to roll his eyes so he did the next best thing; he raised his abnormally large ears and stretched out his arms.
"Henry how many times do I have to tell you? I won't digivolve. But even if I did digivolve, I would probably still be small like BlackGatomon."
"Or not and I wouldn't like to take that chance." Terriermon huffed but muttered
"Fine." Henry smiled at his digmon's answer as he reached for the door knob.
"And that qualified as rude." Before the Blue haired tamer could walk out of the room, Terriermon spoke up again.
"Wait Henry…"
"What is it?" The tamer asked closing the door that he had just opened moments ago.
"Well….it's about that girl…Miyuki…." Henry sighed heavily as he felt a faint blush appear on his cheeks.
"Terriermon, how many times did I tell you, Miyuki is just a classmate and I don't have feelings for her like that." This time, it was Terriermon's turn to smirk.
"Yeah because that blush is so helping your argument." Henry groaned at his digimon and opened the door once more.
"I'm not going to listen to this. I'll bring you food—"
"I overheard BlackGatomon muttering how she wanted to kill Miyuki's father for leaving her a bruise." That caught Henry's attention and he could stare at Terriermon as the digimon continued. "And she muttered something about being drunk most the time. Would that be the reason why Miyuki smelled really weird?" Henry could only sigh heavily as he ran his hand through his hair. "Henry?"
"M-montai Terriermon." Henry chuckled nervously, as he opened the door. "I'll save you some dumplings. I know how much you love them." Without saying another word, Henry closed the door behind him but stood still on the other side of the door, replaying Terriermon's words in his mind.
BlackGatomon is pretty protective of Miyuki….so much that it wouldn't be that hard to believe that she would carry out her threat, but I'm sure Miyuki wouldn't let it go that far. Maybe he was just drunk that one night and might have given her a bruise then. There's no reason to assume that she's being abused. Henry argued to himself as he walked down the steps. So why did she seem in a hurry to go home without you?
Miyuki's POV
"I never thought I would buy so much makeup when I was younger." I muttered as I carefully applied some foundation on a forming bruise on my cheek. "And that shit's expensive."
"Well at least they cover the bruises well enough and you don't look like a clown like those women down the streets." My virus digimon commented as she curled up on my bed waiting for me to finish my makeup. "Seriously Miyuki you have to stop—"
"Gatomon please! I don't ask much of you so could you at least do this one thing for me and drop it." I snapped before immediately feeling guilty. "Sorry, I shouldn't snap like that…."
"Hey you're allowed to snap, I mean you went through quite a beating yesterday. You sure you don't want to see the school nurse for your cuts?" BlackGatomon asked as she sat up and looked at me with worry. I gave her a soft smile as I patted her head.
"Don't worry, I patched them up nice and well. Luckily I don't have PE so none of the girls can ask questions." I smiled before I finished applying the last of the foundation. "Alright I think that's enough. Let's get going. I don't want to miss any more lectures than I have." BlackGatomon quickly jumped off the bed and stood on the window still.
"You still want me to keep Guilmon company?" I smiled at her frown.
"You always know what's on my mind. I'll meet you after school so please try to stay out of trouble." Giving me a mock salute, BlackGatomon quickly jumped down the ledge and ran towards the park where Guilmon was hiding. "Alright, now to get to school on time…" I muttered as I slowly opened my bedroom door to check if the coast was clear. "Without getting him angry…."
"Hey you look a bit different today." Henry commented as I took my seat behind him just as the bell rang. "Did you cut your hair?"
"Nope, your eyes must be going Henry." I chuckled nervously as I cursed BlackGatomon for telling me that it wasn't noticeable. The store ran out of my usual makeup so I had to do with the store brand until they got some more of my regular makeup. "Nothing's different about me."
"So where's BlackGatomon?" Henry whispered as the teacher came into the room, and began to take roll. "Terriermon said he didn't sense her when you came to school."
"I'm having her keep an eye on Guilmon since he's just a baby. Not to mention, we don't want a repeat of yesterday even though he may have saved our lives, HERE!" I called out as the teacher called out my name.
"Do you really think she won't start a fight?" Henry asked, looking worried. "I mean, she looked like she was ready to slit Renamon's throat yesterday." I sighed heavily as I lowered my eyes.
I mean yes, BlackGatomon was a virus digimon so some of her thoughts were a bit on the dark side but she knew when she went overboard. Not to mention I know she doesn't fight without a very good reason….most of the time.
"Just because she's a virus type doesn't mean she out to slit every digimon's throat. She just has a hard time controlling her emotions and when it comes to my safety…well the gloves are off so to speak. However, she knows that Guilmon isn't a threat to me or her so I know she won't fight him. I trust her." Henry stayed silent for a while before he gave me a small smile.
"Well, I can see why you're a tamer. You really do know what you're doing." I nearly gave him a humorless laugh.
"trust me, I really don't. I'm just trying to figure out why Gatomon and the rest of the digimon are here, what's their purpose….what are they looking for."
"Mrs. Ackerman would you like to share with the class what you were discussing about with Henry? I'm sure we would all love to know the juicy gossip that seems to be much more interesting than my lecture." The teacher huffed out and I see the growing blush on Henry's cheeks.
"Sure. We were just discussing how multitasking is now part of our generation and that we should practice it more." The entire class went silence while the teacher went red in the face.
"Outside now Ackerman."
"You know, you shouldn't agitate the teacher so much." Henry scolded me as class finally ended, with me standing outside the class the entire time. "You'll get behind in class."
"Are you forgetting? I solved that math problem in my head within seconds a couple days ago." I huffed as I slammed my locker closed. "Skipping a day or two won't kill my grade. Besides, I want to see Gatomon really soon so can we hurry on up and get a move on?" I asked as Henry took out a "plushie" from his locker. I could hear some girls giggling as they walked by but none of us said anything.
"You sure are in a hurry…"
"It's just….I just have a bit of a bad feeling that's all." I sighed as I took out my digivice and stared at it.
"That reminds me, I saw you creating a shield with your digivice yesterday when Renamon attacked. How did you do it? I can barely figure mine out." Henry asked as he took out his digivice as Terriermon stretched out and climbed onto Henry's shoulder, smiling brightly at me.
"Hi Miyuki!"
"Hello Terriermon and to answer your question….well, I tweaked with it." I answered as I pressed a button on my digivice and immediately a home screen appeared. "The only reason why I was able to use a shield was because of the extra data Gatomon collected."
"Collected?" Henry asked, a bit confused as Terriermon looked at my digivice in awe.
"We fight other digimon that have bio-merged in the city. We don't delete them permanently though unless they're violent and even then Gatomon doesn't collect all of their data."
"I'm a bit lost." Henry sighed as the two of us began walking out of the school, waiting for the newest tamer to show up. "Your digimon can selectively collect data?"
"Uh-huh. It took a bit of work but Gatomon can take bits of data from her opponent and she can either store it in herself or in the digivice which I then turn it into something else like a shield." I smiled as I pressed the data app and immediately a large screen of a storage room appeared. "I keep the excess data I don't need in here and if Gatomon ever needs an extra boost, I give her some of the data."
"What about the rest of the data?" Henry asked as he looked a bit sick, "Where does it go?"
"Back to the digital world where they can recollect the data again." I answered. "Gatomon basically takes enough data from them to revert them back to their rookie forms and since rookies don't really last long in the real world, they go back." I could see Henry's relieved face while Terriermon awed once more.
"That's really neat! What else can your digivice do?" I chuckled at the bunny-like digimon, tickling it's chin.
"Not much else really. I've been trying to add an attack option but without enough data, I don't think that'll be possible soon."
"Well, at least you're prepared to defend yourself and as my sensei likes to say, the best offense is a good defense."
"You're starting to sound like Gatomon." I laughed, recalling similar words when I developed the shield. "Minus the cursing—"
"Miyuki!" BlackGatomon's voice rang out on my digivice before her face appeared on the screen. "Miyuki please tell me you're out of class."
"Yeah. Why? Did something happen?" I asked, already fearing the worst. Did a digimon appeared and the two digimon were fighting alone? Did they come across that other tamer?
"Well….you want the good news or bad news?"
"Bad news so we can feel better later." Terriermon replied for me as BlackGatomon raised an eyebrow at Henry and Terriermon.
"Gatomon, the news please?" Sighing heavily, my digimon answered me,
"Well, Guilmon sensed a digimon nearby and well, Takato and I can't stop him and what's worse I think it's Renamon he senses." I groaned as I slapped my hand to my forehead. Out of all the things to happen and wasn't Takato supposed to wait for us?
"Where are you, we'll be heading right over." I said as I pulled up the GPS app and a bright red dot glowed bright about a couple blocks away from the park, heading towards the underground parking lot to the mall.
"Underground parking lot it seems. I don't know why this bitch is so intent on fighting. But I'm going to bring her down a few pegs." BlackGatomon growled as Henry and I began running towards the parking lot, hoping to make it on time.
"No deleting. As much as I would love to teach her a lesson, just try to keep Guilmon safe alright?" Grudgingly, my virus digimon muttered a soft ok before Terriermon spoke up.
"Hey wait what was the good news then?"
"Oh that. Guilmon and I manage to safely avoid these men in hazmat and black suits." I wanted to slap my head again.
"That's not exactly good news either you know." I huffed as I dodged several kids, shouting out apologizes to them as I continued to run with Henry hot on my heels. "That means someone knows about you guys."
"Whatever, we can talk about that later! Right now—get down Guilmon!" Immediately the connection was lost and I gripped onto my digivice tighter.
Please be alright Gatomon. I don't know what I'll do if I lose you….
"It's just up ahead." Henry cried as Terriermon made his way onto Henry's head, making it much easier for the tamer to run.
"We can't go without a day of fighting can we." I huffed as I slammed open the side door, as Henry shouted,
"What's going on in here?!"Easily I could see both the red haired girl and Takato staring at us in shock—mostly relief from Takato—and the three digimon ready to fight, not that they haven't already.
"About time you showed up Miyuki!" My digimon hissed as I ran towards her, "And don't worry, I don't have a scratch on me."
"I'll see it when I believe it." I muttered before sighing out of relief. "Thank goodness."
"Thank god the two of you are here." Takato shouted in relief as well as he ran up to the both of us.
"Oh please," the red haired tamer sneered as she took a look at Terriermon. "You honestly think that weenie bunny rabbit could take on Renamon. Even that little kitten had trouble." I could feel Gatomon stiffen up in anger at the tamer's words.
"Who are you calling a weenie!" Terriermon cried out as he stepped down and placed him miniature hands on his small body, glaring at the tamer. "Henry, I think that qualifies as rude."
"That seems to be going on around lately." Henry muttered as he too glared at the red head tamer. "There's something that Miyuki and I don't understand. It's true that on the net, digimon are meant to fight but that doesn't mean they have to fight in the real world. The digimon are here for a reason other than fighting, something they can't get in the digital world."
"Well, when you figure it out, let me know." The female tamer scoffed as she returned her focus on the battle between Renamon and Guilmon. "Until then, Renamon. You know what I expect." The fox like digimon stood straighter before jumping high into the air.
"I understand Rika!"
"Shit!" I cried out as I saw Guilmon running towards Renamon. "Gatomon—"
"Damn it Terriermon are you suicidal!" BlackGatomon screeched out as she squirmed out of my grasp and ran towards Guilmon just as Terriermon bumped into him.
"Gatomon!" I screamed out as I saw Renamon already unleashing her fatal attack and while I knew Gatomon's tail ring would protect her to an extent, I didn't know if she could protect the smaller digimon.
"Terriermon no!" Henry screamed as he ran towards his digimon before his digivice began to glow.
"A digivolution!?" I gasped in awe as the area where Terriermon was moments ago began to glow bright white. "But how? There shouldn't a reason why he should digivolve!"
Digimon only digivolve when they either collected enough data or someone ELSE is in danger! Hardly any digimon I know of digivolve on their own out of the blue like this! This is not good. If he was forced to digivolve then he could be out of control! I thought as I covered my eyes to avoid the blinding glare. Once the cloud of smoke started to clear up, a larger bunny silhouette could be seen and once the area was free of durst, Terrier—Gargomon, was standing in Terriermon's place.
"Something tells me that there's going to be a lot of bullets flying around as I took out my digivice to get information on the newly evolved digimon.
Champion level. His attacks are Gargo laser and—I couldn't finish my thought as Terri—Gargomon began firing his revolver hands with no control whatsoever.
"Miyuki take cover!" Henry shouted as both him and Takato ducked behind a car, watching as the digimon went on a rampage.
"That laughter is so not helping him." I muttered as Gargomon began laughing uncontrollably. "Gatomon! Revert him back to his rookie form! He's not ready for that kind of power just yet!" I shouted to my digimon as I dove in between two cars as Gargomon fired at me.
"On it!" The only other champion digimon shouted as she ran towards him just as Renamon jumped down on him and began to claw at his eyes. "Hold him still Renamon!"
"I'm trying!" The golden digimon grunted as Gargomon began firing blindly nearly hitting Gatomon.
"Blinding him won't help either!" Gatomon hissed as she raised her paw at the uncontrollable digimon. "Lightning Paw!" Before her attack could land on the Champion digimon, Gargomon swung his arm and slammed her away.
"This is so wrong!" I heard Henry shout before peeking out from my hideout. "It's like he was never Terriermon in the first place."
"That's because he was forced to digivolve!" I shouted back, surprising Henry and Takato. "Gatomon has seen digimon digivolve and she said the ones who lose control are the ones who were forced to digivolve or given power that they weren't ready for just yet!" As I looked back to the battle I saw that during the struggle, Gargomon had also thrown off Renamon and was heading straight for Rika, pointing his gun at her.
"Fuck!" I cursed as I looked back to my own digimon and Renamon as they barely regain consciousness. "Hope this works! SHIELD!" I shouted as I pointed my digivice towards Rika just as Gargomon fired his weapon. Thankfully, the digital shield appeared just in time and deflected the bullets. "Get the fuck out of there!" I shouted as I ran towards Gargomon, picking up a bended pipe that I luckily found. "I'll handle this!"
"Miyuki no!" Several voices shouted out as Gargomon turned on me instead.
Well….I thought as I stared down the barrels of Gargomon's gun in surprise That plan really wasn't well thought out was it.
And this is the end of my new story. Please review and tell me what you guys think.
