"Well folks, here we are again with a Digimon Multiverse fic. But this time, we're heading to the Southern Quadrant to help the Tamers!"
Sean: "Oh joy, making Digimon incredibly over-powered using trading cards… fun."
"Our three heroes will be getting a couple new surprises along the way, and no Sean, you have to find out just like all the readers do!"
Sean: "What readers, you don't get readers. Because you stopped typing for a long time, most of your so called 'readers' are gone."
(Empty void audience where all the readers should be.)
"Oh God it's true!"
Sean: "But since you've been posting more recently, you might just get them back and get some more readers too."
"You mean it?"
Sean: "Yeah, now why don't you do the disclaimer for once? You deserve it."
"Alright. I do not own Digimon or any other aspects from any other game, show, etc. I DO own my OC's the Multiverse Trio. Now, please go ahead and read the fic!"
(Sean POV)
"So… bored!" I yelled as I sat on the couch of my pocket dimension. Lucas and Doran were playing Halo Reach while I just watched, growing more and more bored.
"If you're so bored, then either play with us or go do some training in the virtual reality room or something." I was about to object his statement, but a familiar voice rang through the air.
"Human warriors, your assistance is required once again." Before anyone could say anything, we were whisked away, leaving nothing but a couple of Xbox 360 controllers and a still-running game of Halo Reach.
(Center of the Digital World)
We were teleported in on a familiar black circle platform, but this time, we were surrounded by four massive Digimon. One looked like a blue dragon with a mask and beard, one looked like a phoenix, who apparently wasn't happy to see us, one was a large silver tiger, and the last was a giant turtle with two heads and a massive tree growing out of its back. Hovering all four of the Mega level Digimon, was Fanglongmon.
"Hey there Fanglongmon, what's the occasion? Came to thank us for saving the Western Quadrant from King Drasil?" I asked with a sheepish grin.
"Insolent human child! How DARE you speak to Fanglongmon like that! I should incinerate you where you stand!" The large phoenix roared at me, which I simply brushed off and decided to patronize him a little more.
"What's wrong you over-sized rooster, afraid to take me head-on so you just throw empty threats my way? I'm calling your bluff! You aren't even HALF the phoenix that my summons are! Oh, and by the way, I'm impervious to fire because I control the damn stuff!" I shouted at him, which caught him by surprise and to go into a flaming temper tantrum.
The tiger just laughed at my antics, "Now now Zhuqiaomon, let's not make a scene. I am actually grateful to you humans for saving my quadrant from Drasil, you have me deepest thanks." The tiger spoke to us. Fanglongmon chuckled at the entire scene.
"Now that we're all accounted for, I think I should tell the three of you why you are here." Fanglongmon spoke, grabbing our full attention."There has been a great disturbance in the Digital World and our very existence is on the line. The Reaper program is awakening again."
Before we could say anything, Fanglongmon continued, "That's why you three, along with other young humans, shall answer the call and become Tamers. Here, these are for you." Like last time, three of Fanglongmon's golden scales floated down to us, this time in glowing orbs of crimson, silver, and orange. I took the crimson one, Doran the silver, and Lucas the orange. The glowing died down, and in our hands were NEW Digivices, a blue card, and on the screen was a pixilated Digi-Egg.
"When the time comes, your partners will hatch from those Digi-Eggs. Now we must send you to the Real World of the Southern Quadrant, God-speed my young friends." With Fanglongmon's last words, our forms shifted out of existence to head to another adventure. At least this will cure my boredom.
(Shinjuku Park)
"Argh, my head." I moaned as I got up of the dirt ground. When I opened my eyes, it was dark out. I saw the faint glow of a clock in some sort of light, 4:57. "Great, it's almost five in the frickin' morning."
Then I noticed that there was no one around, not even my friends. "Again with the separating, really Fanglongmon?" I semi-yelled to make sure that no one could hear me. Then I looked down at my clothes, which changed from my usual attire. I still wore my favorite cargo pants, I had red and white Nike Air Max sneakers, a belt holding up my pants with my Digivice hanging on it along with a card case, probably containing that blue card, a red zipped up vest covered my chest, and over that I wore a black open polo shirt.
"At least the old dragon has good taste in clothes surprisingly." I laughed to myself as I walked around the park for a bit.
After a few minutes in of walking, a thin mist covered the area. "Okay, I swear if you're here right now Zabuza, this isn't funny!" But then I realized, I wasn't wearing my Duel Transer, so it couldn't be Zabuza materialized.
"Okay, not Zabuza. Come out so I can see you!" I yelled into the mist, almost being struck with a wooden club, had I not dodged. I looked in the direction of the swing, and saw a green troll thing carrying the club that almost cracked my skull open. My Digivice started to glow, so I pulled it off my belt and pointed it at the green Digimon.
"Goblimon: Rookie level Oni Digimon. It loves to do bad things and has a sly and hard personality. It is said that it never disobeys a strong tamer. It has great pride in the mohawk on its head. Attacks are Gobli Strike and Gobli Bomb." I put my Digivice back on my belt and took up a loose taijutsu stance.
"Alright ugly, let's dance!" I said, taunting the green Digimon. It came charging at me; club rose above its head.
"Gobli Strike!" It cried out, bringing the club down with sheer force. But I dodged the wooden weapon and got behind Goblimon.
I activated my Sharingan and did a sweep kick that seemed to pick up the wind itself. "Leaf Whirlwind!"
When the Digimon was picked off its feet, I kicked up at its exposed back and sent it flying into the air. I used chakra in my feet to jump high and fly parallel to it, it's back facing me. I brought my leg up for a kick, but Goblimon blocked it with its club, so I used the momentum from that to spin around and bring the back of my fist to its face, sending it down, but I slammed another fist into its stomach and finally spun around and slammed my left heel into Goblimon's stomach.
"Lion Barrage!" I called out the name of Sasuke's move.
When I thought I finished the Digimon, I got up and started to walk away, but was stopped by an all too familiar paw. I looked at the paw's owner and saw Renamon, but what could she be doing here?
"Renamon, what are you doing here?" I asked the yellow fox Digimon.
She slightly cocked her head to the side, "Do I know you?" She asked. It wasn't her voice; she's not the Renamon I know!
"Sorry, I just happen to know another Renamon. I got confused until I heard your voice. Sorry about that." I said in an apologetic manner. The Renamon then walked past me and behind her was a girl around my age with dark orange hair with two thin locks framing her face and was done up in a spiky ponytail. She had violet eyes and a cold look on her face. She was wearing a white and light blue t-shirt with a dark blue broken heart on it, jeans, red and grey sneakers, and red wristbands. She had a Digivice just like mine, only the ring and strap color were blue instead of crimson. She didn't really pay attention to me much, but she did say something to Renamon.
"Renamon, walk all over that Goblimon."
"Yes Rika." Came the reply of the Renamon. Those two must be partners.
Goblimon was already weak from my attacks and continued to get weaker from Renamon leading him around and teasing him, while dodging its wild attempts at attacking. But when it seemed to be over, Goblimon started to glow.
"Goblimon Digivolve to…"
Goblimon grew taller and even more gruesome features. Its skin turned a brownish-red; it grew silver hair, and long pointy teeth. The wooden club turned into a spiked bone of some sort. Finally, the leather tunic it had been wearing turned into like a tiger skin pelt tunic and bracers.
"Fugamon!"
When the newly dubbed Fugamon was done with his transformation, I saw a similar glow in a tree near the area, and I could also see a little white Digimon where the light came from… weird. Anyway, I pulled my attention back to the fight and Rika pulled out her Digivice to examine the new Digimon.
"Fugamon: Champion level Oni Digimon. How the heck did it Digivolve! Anyway, it just seems like a brown skinned, tiger pelt wearing version of Ogremon. Attacks are Evil Hurricane and Heavy Swing." Renamon continued her fight with the new Champion level, but didn't seem to be holding up too well. Unless they had a few friends hanging around with Digimon partners, this wasn't going to end well.
I thought of stepping in and helping out, but I stopped when I saw Rika pull a card out of the case on her belt. What the hell was that going to do! I was brought out of my thoughts when Rika started to slide the card into a channel in the side of the Digivice.
"DIGIMODIFY… POWER ACTIVATE!" A red glow formed over Renamon and then she leaped out of the way of a Heavy Swing attack.
She leapt into the air and performed her signature attack, "Diamond Storm!" The multiple projectiles lodged themselves into Fugamon and completely tore it to shreds, turning into red data flakes.
Renamon landed from her mid air assault and started to absorb the flakes of Data. 'So Digimon turn into Data instead of re-forming into Digi-Eggs here, interesting.' I turned around and started to make my way out of the park when the mist started to clear, but was once again stopped by a paw, this time grabbing me by my arm.
"Where do you think you're going kid?" Rika asked me. I turned my head to look at her, unknowingly with my Sharingan still active, because she gasped a bit but regained her composure. "Alright tough guy, take out those stupid contacts and answer my next question." I did as she said, except for the contact thing. I kept my eyes open and let the chakra drain out of them, returning them to their normal ocean blue color before her very eyes.
"Alright, what's the question?" I asked.
"Questions now. But let's go to the primary one, how did you fend against a Digimon the way you did? I've never seen martial arts like that before." Her voice still held a stern tone, but was lightly sprinkled with curiosity and impression.
"It's a form taught to me by my cousin and a friend, back where they live they call it taijutsu." I said, not lying at all. "I bet your next question has to do with my eyes, am I right?" I asked.
"Yeah, how do you change them from blue to red with those weird black tomoe?"
"Ah, but THAT my dear Rika, is a secret." With those words, I used the Shunshin no Jutsu/ Body Flicker Jutsu to disappear in a swirl of leaves and re-appear on a rooftop a few blocks away. "Wow, can't believe that worked even though I had no idea where I was going." Then I formed some hand signs and performed the Utsusemi no Jutsu/ Empty Cicada Shell Jutsu to project my voice to Rika, "Sorry that I had to cut our time short Rika, but I'm sure we'll run into each other soon. Till then, later." Then I ended the jutsu.
I turned around and started making my way through the rooftops, using chakra to enhance my leaping capabilities so that I don't fall to my death. "Now to find those two idiots." I said to myself.
(Doran POV)
(East Shinjuku)
I woke up to the sound of a car driving by. I found myself on the sidewalk, next to a fire hydrant. I slowly got up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, trying to fully wake up. After I did that, I looked at my sleeve, then down to the rest of my clothes, which were completely different from what I usually wear. I was wearing a brown blazer, similar to the ones from Duel Academy, a black t-shirt, baggy blue jeans, and black boots with silver soles. Holding up my pants was a black belt with a silver clock-shaped buckle, and on it was a card case and my Digivice. I also had on my digital watch, which I rigged to tell me the time of any universe I'm in, which was now 5:43 am. I also noticed that I was all alone, save for the average car driving by a minute or two.
"Really? Spilt up again? Does Fanglongmon have some sort of twisted humor to split us up and have us find each other after we get our partners or something?" I asked myself out loud. I started walking around the city for a bit and started to get familiar with the place, mentally mapping it.
I stopped near by a local bakery, which was surprisingly open at this time of day. Wish the service was like this back home. I opened the door, causing a little bell to ring, alerting the owners that I walked into their bakery. I saw a woman in her thirties wearing a pink bandana over short brown hair, white apron over a long sleeved yellow-green shirt, and jeans.
She looked up at me and smiled, "Sorry, but we're not completely open yet. Can you wait a few minutes?" She asked. I nodded and stood for the next few minutes while she kept cleaning the bakery and laying out the freshly baked bread. My mouth was drooling from the smell, but I didn't care. After she was done, she looked back at me. "Now then, how can I help you?" She asked me.
"Could I have a few rolls please?" I asked politely. She reached under to the metal racks protected by clear glass and grabbed a few pieces of the fresh bread.
"Okay then, that will be 250 yen." I wasn't totally familiar with the currency exchange in Japan, but I still reached into my pocket where a silver pouch laid and I pulled it out. I reached into the bag and pulled out a few large crystal shaped orbs that quickly turned into paper bills as I pulled them from the bag. I placed the newly transformed bills on the counter and accepted the bread that I just ordered.
"Thanks a lot." I said as I walked out of the bakery while shoving a roll in my mouth. It tasted sweeter than regular bread, almost honey-like. "Oh man… I have to… find the guys… and tell them… about this… place." I said through each bite of the bread. As quick as my bread came, it was gone. But my stomach was full and satisfied.
"Okay, now that I've had my fair share of food, I think that I should go and find the others. If possible, I could also try and look for those kids that have Digimon partners too." I said as I pulled my silver and white Digivice with an onyx circle and strap from my belt. I saw a pixilated Digi-Egg on the screen; it was pulsating, as if it was going to hatch soon.
"Whatever you turn into, I can't wait to introduce you to my friends and Commandramon." I said with a smile. I placed the Digivice back on my belt and went off to search for Sean and Lucas.
(Lucas POV)
(Shinjuku Square)
"A rooftop, I landed on a rooftop." I grumbled under my breath. Not only was I separated from Sean and Doran AGAIN, but I was also stuck on a rooftop in the middle of town at seven in the morning. I couldn't change his position without alerting any suspicion to the citizens below.
"So now what am I supposed to do? I can't use chakra to jump from the roof onto another building and I can't activate my Keyblade Glider without anyone noticing a giant flying disk rising from a building without them thinking that it's a UFO." My options were little to none and my patience was running thin.
"Okay think, I'm stuck on a roof with no entry point to the building under my feet. I don't have my Lyoko Watch to be able to use Flash Teleportation, and Sean didn't teach me the Shunshin no Jutsu/ Body Flicker Jutsu to get out of here." I paced back and forth for a couple of minutes and realised that I couldn't do anything.
So I walked over to a nearby metal air filtration machine and leaned against it, putting my hands in my empty pockets. "I still can't believe that Fanglongmon changed my clothes." It was true; Fanglongmon changed my usual clothes into an orange t-shirt, blue jeans being held up with a black belt with a thunderbolt buckle, with a card case and my new Digivice on said belt, and a pair of red and white sneakers. "Now if only he remembered to put my phone in my pockets before he sent us here." I moped. I took my new Digivice off my belt and examined it. It fit in the palm of my hand and was white and dull grey in color with an orange ring circling the monitor and an orange strap. On the screen was a pulsating, pixilated Digi-Egg. I also noticed that on the side of the Digivice was a narrow channel of some sort that looked as thin as a card.
"Wait, a card…" I looked at the card case on my belt and pulled out the strange blue card with the pixilated yellow 'D' and blue dinosaur. "Maybe if I slide the card into the channel…" I trailed off as I placed the bottom left corner of the card into the channel and slid it down.
The screen of my Digivice started to glow and from it, came a glowing blob of some sort. It kept growing and growing until it hit the size of a basketball and landed on the roof in front of me. That blob then formed into a seahorse-shape and the glowing started to die down. When the glowing stopped, in front of my was a floating green dragon with purple eyes, black horns tipped with dark pink, little wings for arms, a yellow underbelly, and a tail that seemed to be made of wind. It looked up at me, and I down at it.
"So, are you my partner Digimon?" I asked the little dragon. It only nodded it's little head and spoke with an extremely young voice,
"Yup, I'm Babydmon." My Digivice started to glow again, but this time a holographic circle with Babydmon's picture came up with some info.
"Babydmon, In-Training Baby Dragon Digimon. It may look small, but it can pack a punch for an In-Training. His attack is Hot Steam, which can scorch you if you're not careful."
I looked down at the little guy, who was studying the rooftop that we were on. "Well Babydmon, looks like we've got some time to get to know each other. I don't have a way to get out of here without being seen, chased, or questioned." The little dragon didn't seem to know what I was talking about, but he flew up to me and landed in my arms.
"That's okay. I wanna get to know my Tamer a little better anyway." He said with a toothy grin. 'Well guys, you can take as long as you want getting here now. Just make sure that it's not after lunch.'
Well everyone, that wraps up the first chapter of Backup Tamers. Please review and put in any requests for pairings in your review.
