Okay, another random idea. Bear with me, please.
This one is basically "Takuya Kanbara becomes Davis Motomiya" and I may not even try to finish this.
Fair warning.
Chapter 1
Davis sighed before getting into a game of soccer. He was wearing a pair of square goggles on his head, a Blue Jacket, White and Purple striped shirt, and Jean shorts. He also wore Dark Brown gloves, and Black sneakers with White Trim on them.
Someone kicked the ball out of bounds, before it was caught by a blonde. Davis ran up to him, and saw the resemblance to someone else he knew. 'My god, looks like a Male Zoe...' He thought. "Hey, great catch!" He noticed the look, and took a slightly confused look. "Huh?"
The kid threw the ball at Davis, and he caught it. He then spoke. "You look familiar." He pointed at Davis. "Must be the goggles."
'Please tell me this guy doesn't know Tai.' Davis thought.
"Hey Davis, you're holding up the game!" Someone shouted.
"Huh? Oh." He kicked it back in. "Yeah!"
He went back to playing the game, before classes were about to start. When he got to the classroom, he noticed a good friend of his. "What luck! You're in my class again, Kari!" He smiled at her.
She looked at him with a smile. "I wouldn't call that luck."
He inwardly sighed. 'What will it take to get her to like me?' Shaking himself out of that thought, he continued. "This morning, the strangest thing just happened. This guy said I reminded him of someone. Probably thinks I'm a star." He said with a grin.
She giggled. "Hard to say."
Davis hid his grin. "Didn't get his name though. Something tells me he's a kind of Hopeful person." He then took a thoughtful look, while Kari just blinked at him in surprise.
"What do you mean?" She asked, actually curious.
"Well, you know I can see into the Hearts of others, right?" Kari nodded. He had explained that ability to her, but he made her promise not to tell her brother, Tai. "His heart gave off the feeling of Hope. Strange thing is, it wasn't tied to any emotions, which I've never felt before... except with you, but that was when I told you about Light being the majority of your Heart."
Kari then had an idea as to who it was. "Did this guy have Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a Bucket hat?"
Davis blinked. "Yeah, you know him?"
Kari nodded. "He's an old friend of mine. Haven't seen him in two years though." Her face turned thoughtful. "He didn't say he would be moving back to Odaiba, though. Or at least I haven't heard about it."
Before Davis could ask what his name was, the teacher spoke. "Alright, settle down class." Davis sat down next to Kari, as the teacher spoke. "I'm Mister Hamasaki, I'll be your teacher, and I'd like you all to meet a new student." The blonde kid from earlier walked in.
"That him?" Kari whispered, earning a nod from Davis.
"Nice to meet all of you. My name is Takeru, but everyone calls me TK." He bowed his head.
"Yes, please sit next to Mr. Motomiya. Davis, please stand up." Davis didn't respond. "Mr. Motomiya..." The teacher groaned.
Kari just looked at Davis, and saw the look in his eyes. Everyone looked at Davis. "Hmm? Why is everyone looking at me?"
"The teacher is calling you." One of the students explained, as if talking to a child.
"Really? I could've sworn he was calling Davis Motomiya. I'm Takuya Kanbara." He said with a straight face, though inwardly he had 10 voices laughing alongside his own.
The teacher sighed. He had learned that this happened with him every now and then. "Fine..." He just followed the other Teacher's advice. Play along, because he would never slip up. "Sit down next to Takuya." He didn't like this, but when he saw Davis in his class, he was slightly annoyed.
Seriously, the only teachers that never complain about him are when lessons involving Chemistry, Physical Activity, or Anatomy. He also got near perfect marks in those classes but rarely paid attention. No one knew why, though.
When TK sat down in the chair, which Davis pointed out, he whispered to Davis. "Two names?"
"Call it MPD. Everyone else does." Davis admitted.
Classes went by pretty quickly, 'Takuya' switching back with 'Davis' from Lunch onwards. Davis walked into the room where Kari and TK were talking. "...been on the computer the whole time."
"Hey, TJ." Davis greeted. "Kari, catching up with your friend?"
Kari nodded. "His name is TK."
Davis just sent her a grin. The message was clear. 'I know. I'm just messing with him.' She just shook her head.
He heard someone running up the hall. "Hey!"
Apparently, it was Yolei Inoue. "You're Kari Kamiya, aren't you?" She asked.
Kari nodded. "That's right. Why do you ask?"
"Are you related to Tai?" She asked, showing the message on a piece of paper, that they all read. Davis's eyes widened when he read it. Kari's eyes narrowed. "My brother needs us."
They all ran out of the room, and towards the computer room. Unlike the other, Davis's thoughts were frantic. 'This is SO not good!' He remembered his last trip through the Digital World.
Out of everyone that knew him, only one person knew of his involvement back then. As they were reaching the stairwell, someone else was in the area. "Izzy!" Kari started.
"Hey, Yolei, I'm glad I found you." The red head replied. "I need to use the computer room right away."
"You mean the Legendary Computer Club president is looking for me, I'm honored!" Yolei replied, her hands clasped in a prayer gesture, her eyes glowing. 'Yolei, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were related to Chiaki, somehow.' Davis remembered the previous Digidestined Warrior of Water.
He remembered the rest of them, too.
"Yeah, I know. I got one too." Izzy replied to someone. 'Looks like I zoned out part of it.' They all ran towards the computer room.
When they got there, Izzy was explaining. "I was just about to send Tai an answer, when the battery ran out on my computer." He was already typing. "I knew I should've recharged it after I played Trigonometry Trivia on the internet last night, but boy. Talk about fun."
He stopped typing. "I got him!"
"What's the Digital World? Is that a new amusement park."
Davis snorted. "You wish." Kari, TK and Izzy looked at him in confusion. "Listen, Yolei. As you are, your mind could never handle the Digital World. Even if half of what I've heard was true, you still couldn't handle it."
"And how did you hear of it?" Izzy asked.
"Tai." Davis shrugged, but only Kari noticed the sadness in his eyes. He was hiding something and it was painful... She also knew that he was only partially lying.
Izzy went back to typing. "Hmm... If Tai's there, the gate to the Digital World is open."
Davis shook his head. 'How little you know.'
In one of Davis's pockets was Takuya's old D-Tector, and he gripped it. He remembered what happened to his friends.
-Flashback-
"Guys..." Takuya Kanbara looked sad as he saw nine bodies on the ground. Most of them barely hanging on.
"Taky..." A large male started. "Use our Spirits... Take him..."
"JP..." Takuya looked at him, before looking at the blonde female.
"Guess there's no date... huh?" She joked, before holding up her D-Tector. "Use the Spirits of Wind. I believe in you..." The Spirits of Wind went from her D-Tector to his Red and Orange one. The Spirits of Thunder came with, and the two finally passed out cold, only to die seconds later.
"Takuya... Don't die..." The only other female grinned weakly. This one had Crimson hair, and was named Chiaki. She bore the Spirit of Water. Ranamon and Calamaramon went into his D-Tector.
"Taky... Take him out..." A little kid said with a weak smile. This was Tommy Himi, the Digidestined Warrior of Ice. His spirits went into Takuya's D-Tector.
'JP, Chiaki, Zoe, Tommy...' Takuya thought with a grimace.
The Spirits of Earth, Wood and Steel went to his D-Tector. No words were exchanged there. Takuya looked at the holders. 'Teppei, Teruo, Katsuhara...'
The last two were twins: Koichi Kimura and Koji Minamoto. "Remember the truth of Darkness... It will help..." Koichi said as Lowemon and JagerLowemon transferred to his D-Tector.
"Don't forget Light... it can mislead... you... It did me..." Koji coughed, before the spirits of Lobomon and KendoGarurumon transferred to Takuya's D-Tector. "Don't worry about us..." Koji continued.
"Kill him..." Koichi added.
"Save our families..." Koji continued.
"And destroy him." Koichi finished. "He's worse than Duskmon."
Takuya nodded, before scanning their Fractal Codes. "I won't let you guys down..." He turned towards a massive beast that was walking away. "Milleniummon... You are going to pay." Takuya growled. A mass of Fractal Codes ran around his left arm, with even more surrounding his hand. "Unity Execute!" He ran the scanner on his D-Tector over a single loop around his hand. "Legendary Spirit Evolution!" The power of all 20 Spirits fused into him, turning him into the most powerful being he knew. "Susanoomon!"
He glared at the target. "You're finished!"
Davis shook himself out of his memory as the computer screen lit up. Three lights came out of it, and one of them hit Davis's hands, as he caught it. This one was Blue. Two others went into the hallway, and then Davis noticed that Yolei was gone.
When the light dissipated, he looked at the Device in his hand. "I take it this is a Digivice?" He questioned. It looked similar to his old D-Tector, but not by much. He showed it to Izzy. It was White with Blue grips, and an Antenna.
"It is..." Izzy looked astounded. "But it's a different model than ours." TK and Kari showed theirs which looked like a Light blue Cross, with 3 buttons. Izzy had the same type.
Izzy looked at the computer. "We better go now. While the gate to the Digital World is still open."
Davis looked around. "What happened to Yolei?"
"She left with Cody while you were spacing out." Kari pointed out, before walking up to the computer. "But I'm going to help my brother. If you're coming, don't hesitate." She held up her Digivice and went in.
Davis blinked. 'Same way Lady Ophanimon let me go in with my D-Tector for the last 3 years. The only one to survive the Purges from Milleniummon, let me keep the rest of the Legendary Spirits, and gave me a way into the new Digital World.' He looked at his new Digivice.
"I'm with you." TK held his up, Davis holding his up right behind him. They both went in.
Izzy was about to turn to Davis, but then saw that he was already gone.
He was about to enter himself, but apparently, someone else caught him before he could. "Whoa! What's going on in here?!"
Izzy hid his Digivice.
-Digital World-
Davis looked around, and saw that he was in a forest. TK and Kari were nearby. He looked at his Attire, and saw that it had changed. His shirt was now a Straight black, but it had a bunch of lines creating a Marking that he recognized. 'The symbol of AncientGreymon... It's been a while, huh?' His jacket was now a Navy Blue with Flames along the bottom edge. His gloves turned brown. "Nice new clothes."
"It kind of fits you, Taky." A female voice told him.
Since he was around two others who didn't know, he spoke in his mind. 'Thanks, Kazemon. I kind of like it myself.'
The giggling he heard in his head was a sign that he said the right thing. "Welcome!" Kazemon replied.
The group of three were walking, Davis just following them. He wanted to make sure Tai was okay, but knew that he had to play like he didn't know what was going on. He then noticed a Vending Machine. 'Hey, Grumblemon. I'm gonna mess with that Numemon hideout, right as TK walks past it.'
"Oh! Do it!" A squeaky voice replied.
Davis was suddenly behind the Vending Machine, and waited for TK to line up with it, before he tapped the Machine, causing the Numemon to come out and surround TK. He just looked around and sighed. "Davis..."
Davis was on the other side of the clearing leaning against a tree. Kari looked at him. "Davis?"
"What? Not my fault those slugs came out when TK passed." He replied. 'It so was, but no way am I admitting that.' He thought. Kari didn't see the change in his face, though.
Kari shook her head smiling. "Davis..."
"What?" Davis asked with a grin. He lost it when his new Digivice beeped. He was getting a signal. "I'm getting something." He looked along the path. "It's just up there ahead of us."
Kari just looked at him. 'He's acting like a true leader. Has he already been to the Digital World?'
"TK!" A voice cried out.
"Patamon! Boy am I glad to see you!" TK laughed.
"Tai! Good to see you're alright." Davis smirked at Tai, knowing something that the older brunette didn't.
Tai looked gobsmacked. "Davis... What are you doing here?"
"Kari!" Another voice shouted.
Kari looked at a Gatomon. "Gatomon!" She noticed something wrong. "Your tail ring." She looked at the cat's face. "Tell me what happened."
-later-
Gatomon had just explained everything, and just finished with the new Digivice. TK looked at Davis. "Show her yours."
Davis pulled out his D-3. "Does it look like this?"
Gatomon nodded. "Different colors, but yes."
Davis hummed. 'So that's what he meant when he contacted me.'
-Flashback-
Davis got a Skype connection. He used it with Ophanimon after he got back, only for her to break off contact a year after Myotismon attacked Odaiba, after giving him all 10 Legendary Spirits and turning a Cell Phone into a D-Tector.
However, the one on the other end was not who he was expecting. "Cherubimon..."
"Calm down, Takuya. I'm only here to deliver some news." The Purple Cherubimon stated.
"What are you talking about? Why isn't Lady Ophanimon talking?"
"Ophanimon cannot talk. Not anymore." Cherubimon stated. "Lord Seraphimon is dead. Not reformatted, but actually dead. Lady Ophanimon... She has been corrupted, and has since cut herself off from even me."
"And why are you telling me this?"
"As much as I hate it, you're the only one that actually knows one of the threats. As I'm sure you know, Ophanimon had given you a way to the Digital World, correct?" Davis nodded. "How many of the Spirits can you handle in the Real World?"
"I can use up to Fusion level for all but Wind and Water, but I don't know why. I have been able to become Susanoomon in the Digital World for the past two months." Davis answered. "Why?"
"Because, like what happened with Myotismon, one of Lucemon's allies is planning an attack on the Real World."
Davis's eyes widened. "Wrath, Gluttony, or Greed?"
"I do not know, Takuya." Cherubimon replied. "I do know this, however. Something else is going on. I believe Milleniummon to be involved somehow." Davis stilled. "I do not know how, or if it is a different one, but you must be prepared. For if Milleniummon returns... I fear for our world, and yours as well."
"I see..."
"Listen closely, Takuya. I know you have been using a different name since the last time you were in the Digital World. I've already reinstated you, but as a different type of Digidestined. You will still bear the Legendary Warriors, however, you will also need to use the new methods in use now. Whether you reveal the Warrior Spirits or not is up to you. However, the Digital World will need your help. Especially if it is to survive."
"You said Lady Ophanimon was corrupted. Do you know how? Or even what happened to her?"
"No, I do not. Before the corruption could take hold, she locked herself into the Rose Morning star, and sealed it up with more Power than she could ever regain. The elements of Light and Darkness will never penetrate it in either direction. I am not aware of her condition at the moment. You will have to find the Rose Morning Star on your own to find the answer to that."
Something then occurred to Davis. "Why haven't you gone berserk with all the Corruption in you?"
Cherubimon snorted. "Takuya, I was under the Influence of Lucemon before. I was tainted by the very Energy of the Dark Area itself. This Darkness is nowhere near as powerful, and I could control it then. I'm just naturally Chaotic."
Davis shook himself out of his memories as Kari tried pulling out the Digiegg. "Remembering the situation with Ophanimon, huh?" He heard Agunimon say.
'Yeah, I was. Cherubimon's warning, too.' Davis replied.
"You gonna tell them?"
'Not unless I have to. So, what did I miss?'
"Just the fact that we have an ARMOR Digiegg right in front of us. Not to mention it has a similar power to my own inside of it. Try and lift it. Maybe this is what Cherubimon meant."
Davis nodded slightly. Kari noticed. "Davis?"
"Just thinking. I spaced out."
Tai blinked at that. "Spaced out?"
Davis waved him off, and walked up to the Digiegg. "Davis, don't you want to know..."
Tai trailed off as Davis gripped the egg with one hand, and pulled it up with ease. Something else was coming up, and he jumped back quickly, staring at the hole where a light came out. His eyes widened when he recognized the form. "Yahoo! Free at last! Free at last! You moved the Digiegg!" He held out his hand. "My name's Veemon! But you can just call me Veemon!"
Davis took a second and smiled, before gripping Veemon's hand. "Davis Motomiya... unless, of course, you would recognize the name Takuya Kanbara." He smirked at Veemon's widened eyes. Veemon leaned in closer. "Do they know?"
Davis shook his head. "Doubtful." He replied. Veemon backed up with a smile. "Okay! Let's get moving!"
Just then rocks started falling. "My guess is, not an Earthquake." Davis mused, before looking up. "Well... shit."
Everyone looked up, and saw a Monochromon drop from the ceiling. "Digimon?"
TK nodded. "Monochromon. His shell is harder than Diamonds. His attack, Volcanic Strike, sends out millions of fireballs!"
Davis grinned. "Everyone else back up." He noticed the black ring. 'Agunimon, do you think I can use the Digiegg of Courage here?'
"Definitely. Armor Digivolution is not able to be blocked. Even by Susanoomon."
Beetlemon spoke up. "The Armor Digieggs are different from normal Digivolution. They also use a power similar to that of the Legendary Warriors. Meaning, us. Each one has a connection to a certain warrior. Courage is connected to Agunimon. Friendship is connected to me."
'Good to know.'
"Davis run!" Tai shouted.
"Volcanic Strike!"
A large blast of fire hit Davis, who didn't bother to dodge. Kari's eyes widened. She didn't expect him to take the hit.
However, no one expected what happened next. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Davis said, surprising everyone at the lax, and unharmed voice of Davis.
"Davis..." Kari breathed, although she was put off guard when his jacket and Shirt were basically burned off.
Davis looked at himself. "I liked that shirt, too..." He then looked at the Monochromon, and finally Veemon. "Davis..."
"Hmph. Veemon, I'm Fireproof. That isn't going to do anything to me." Davis stated, before looking at Monochromon, and taking a stance. "Come on, you idiot. Let's see what you got."
"Davis!"
Monochromon merely charged, before Davis grabbed his horn, before heaving him upwards. Words hit his mind. 'There it is.' "Digi-Armor Energize!" The Digiegg of Courage glowed, and Veemon was covered in rings of Data, before something else appeared.
"I am Flamedramon. As Veemon, I use the Digiegg of Courage, to Armor Digivolve..."
"Explanation later. Just take out the Dark Ring." Davis interrupted, causing weird looks to be sent his way.
"Alright, fine." Flamedramon jumped up, covered himself in flames, and hit the ring. "Fire Rocket!" the ring cracked, and then broke into pieces, before the Monochromon fell to the ground.
Davis walked up to the big guy. "You okay?"
The Monochromon looked at him, and saw the Legendary Fire symbol on his forehead. "You are..."
Davis nodded. "I bear all ten, if you must know."
Monochromon got up. "I apologize, Warrior of Flame."
Davis waved him off. "Momentai, man. It was nothing... besides, I'm effectively Fireproof. Your Volcanic Strike wouldn't do a thing to me, and if you charged, I'd be able to toss you like I do to Rhinos back in the real world. I could handle it."
Monochromon nodded. "Good luck. We need all the help we can get, especially with the Emperor."
"The Emperor isn't what I'm worried about." Everyone else was confused. "I'm more worried about someone more powerful waiting until the Emperor weakens everything and is most likely beaten. After all, 'There's always a bigger Fish'." Davis continued.
Monochromon nodded. "Farewell, Warrior of Flame."
Davis watched as the Monochromon took off. "If I were you, I'd avoid anywhere the Emperor could be going." He put out.
Davis sighed as he heard the grunt.
"Davis?" Kari started, not even sure what was going on.
"Oh... sorry, forgot about you guys being here." Davis replied sheepishly, before looking at Flamedramon.
"Well, I get the feeling that this is only the beginning."
Davis nodded at Flamedramon's statement. "You and me both." The ground shook even more, causing Davis to look around. "Shit! This cave is collapsing! Let's move!" They all ran out, Flamedramon on Davis's heels. The rest following him.
When they got out of the area, the tunnel had collapsed completely. Davis, however, still had no shirt whatsoever, and was pretty much showing off a set of 6 pack abs. Tai just got a good look at him, and nearly gaped. "Davis... since when were you so ripped?"
"Remember what I told that Monochromon?" Davis asked. "There have been reports of an unknown man that can throw the Rhinos in Odaiba Zoo. That man is actually a boy, and said boy is me. Gotta have some muscles to do that. I can beat down bears, Pin lions... once I went into the Aquarium and wrestled a pair of Sharks inside their tanks. I was never caught, either."
TK blinked. "You can do all of that?" Davis nodded. "How?"
"Does anyone here know of the Ten Legendary Warriors?"
All of them nodded, but Patamon just flew up to Davis. "What do you know about them?"
"Patamon?"
"Very few survived the Previous End of the Digital World." Patamon stated. "Knowledge of the 10 Legendary Warriors are only in one of five places, minus the stories told in Primary Village. The 10 Warriors, the ones that hosted them, The Three Celestial Digimon, The Digimon Sovereign, and a Place known as the Rose Morning Star that was lost to all worlds a few years ago. The Warriors have been missing for a few years... right before Diaboromon came up, I think. Two Celestial Digimon are basically MIA, and the third can't even reach his previous form, The Sovereigns don't even talk to humans unless they absolutely have to... or your name is Gennai, and the Rose Morning Star I already explained." He explained, to the surprise of TK.
"Patamon, how do you know this?" TK asked.
Davis looked into Patamon's eyes, and saw straight through to his Digicore, and his eyes widened. "Lord Seraphimon?!" Davis nearly shouted.
Patamon blinked. "That was me... before my final end."
"B-but... Cherubimon said you didn't even get Reformatted!"
"And I thank every day for the time I met Gennai a week before it happened. If not for his back-up, I wouldn't be here." Patamon looked at TK. "I'm TK's partner now, but how did you know who I am?"
"You probably don't recognize me, but the fact is... of the 10 hosts... I'm the only survivor." Davis explained.
"I see... Well, that explains it." Patamon then noticed that the others haven't even moved. "Okay what happened?"
"You can thank Rhihimon." Davis explained. "Thanks to him I can create a Between World where I can bring up to 3 others with me. Everything outside the Area I target is basically on pause."
"Hmm... For you to have the Digiegg of Courage, if that's truly what Digivolved Veemon, I'd peg you for the AncientGreymon's host."
"I've got all of them. Agunimon is my preferred form, as that's what I'm most used to, but I can go all the way up to Susanoomon, which uses all 22 Spirits."
"Wait, there's only supposed to be 20..." Patamon didn't understand, but trailed off, not getting it.
"Well, there are actually four Spirits of Darkness. Duskmon, Velgamon, Lowemon and JagerLowemon. Just using Lowemon and JagerLowemon isn't enough for Rhihimon. Duskmon and Velgamon may be corrupted Spirits, but really, they're the Bad side of the Spirits, while Lowemon and JagerLowemon are the Good side. Combining and taming all four of them and you can become Rhihimon. Which also explained why Koichi couldn't. He couldn't accept Duskmon or Velgamon because of what those two made him do. I control those two now, they don't control me."
Patamon just stared at Davis. "You're kidding me..." He trailed off before he sighed. "Damn, you're serious."
"As a Milleniummon." Davis replied with a hint of anger.
"What did he do? I'm afraid I was deleted before the final battle."
Davis balled his fists. "Something that I'm still angry about, and if there are any more Milleniummon, or anything else like that, they are not going to escape me, or my wrath." He told Patamon. "During the final battle... I took Susanoomon's form... on my own."
"But with the others there they should..." That was when Patamon realized it. "You... No, he didn't..."
"He did." Davis stared into Patamon's eyes.
"Well, I can understand your rage." Patamon replied. "You want me to keep this from everyone else, don't you?"
Davis nodded. "I would like that... until I find out what happened to Lady Ophanimon, and why Cherubimon told me a Demon Lord was coming."
"I see... Well, they won't hear it from me. But you're going to have to explain how you knew about the Legendary Warriors."
"I got that covered." Davis admitted. "I have the abilities I gained because of Agunimon. I just intend on telling them that some Warrior named AncientGreymon gave me his blessing, and basically told me about the others. AncientGreymon is the Original Warrior of Fire."
Patamon thought about it and nodded. "Okay, and I'll explain the Three Celestial Digimon to them. I'll leave you out of it, though."
Davis nodded, and brought them back to the actual conversation. "Well, Patamon? How do you know that?"
"Well... before I was partnered to TK I was a Celestial Digimon. Something happened, and... well, I was reformatted into a Dead World. You can thank Gennai for my survival." Patamon explained.
TK looked astonished. "You knew, and didn't tell me?"
"You were a kid, TK. I didn't think you could take all that information and believe it." Patamon admitted. "I have the memories, but I don't have the body anymore."
TK sighed. "Well, at least I know now. I take it you did that to make sure I was safe?" Patamon hummed in agreement.
Davis sighed. "We'll continue this conversation later. I think we should get back."
Agumon nodded his agreement. "He's right, Tai. It is getting late."
Tai looked at Agumon. "I know, but I don't even know if we can get home." He looked at the others. "Be careful. Never stay too long." He then noticed that Davis was missing. "Where's Davis?" He asked.
Veemon spoke up. "He went home already. He just lifted his Digivice to that TV over there." Veemon pointed at a random TV set, which had a Computer store with the lights off on it.
"A Computer store?" Kari asked.
"Huh. It showed a room when he went through." Veemon said. "Don't worry about us, we'll be okay."
Tai and the other humans lifted their Digivices and went through in a glow. Agumon just stared. "You don't see that everyday." He commented.
-Computer Store-
Tai, TK and Kari just looked around. "It was a Computer Store..." Tai remarked. "But where's Davis?"
Tai looked around. "Doesn't seem to be here."
-Davis's apartment-
Davis opened the front door and saw Jun. "Finally get a Date, little bro?"
Davis sighed, and turned a serious look at her. "No, it's a DW case."
Jun blinked, before her eyes widened at what that meant. "You don't mean..."
Davis nodded. "Reinstated, and recruited."
Jun sighed, and nodded. "Let's go. We need to talk."
The two went into his room, and locked the door. Davis had a security system installed for situations just like this. "So, how bad is it?"
"I think it's going to be a different threat, that will only get worse as time progresses." Davis sighed as he sat down on the bed. His room was actually very neat, compared to before.
Jun sat in a chair. "How bad do you think it'll get?" She asked.
"I get the feeling you don't want to know. I still have all of Spirits, but still... I get the feeling I'll be using Susanoomon at least twice in the next year, and neither is for practice."
Jun's eyes widened. She had seen Susanoomon once. She didn't like the fact he thought he'd have to use it.
"Yeah, it's that bad." Davis clarified.
"Listen, if you need to talk, I'll listen. I did when you told me about your last adventure, and though I still don't get most of it, I understand that you have to do this. If something happens, I'll cover for you, okay?" Davis nodded his thanks. "What about your Underground Fighting Career?" She ended up asking.
Davis blinked. "I almost forgot about that." He then got up and pulled out a book. It was written in Kanji, but was also a copy of the Original. "Anyway, there's something in here you might want to read up on." He handed the book to her. "This is a copy of the Original, and its Translated. I've been working on it for a week now. Ever since Lord Cherubimon contacted me about my Reinstatement, in fact. It's a complete copy of everything in Bokomon's Book. It's a little bigger, since I put the side notes below the correct section, and references to other sections, as well. I have the Original, and the only copy is in my hands. It's also the only Translated version. Don't lose it." He told her.
She held it, before looking at him and nodding. "I won't lose it. There is more in here, isn't there?"
"It doesn't mention the Hosts by name. Only the warriors, and their abilities. Just a heads up." Davis reiterated.
Jun sighed and nodded. "I figured that. I'm also quite surprised that Mom hasn't found them yet."
Davis snorted. "Jun, mom doesn't even know of their existence. Much like half of my life... That reminds me, I've got a match tomorrow night."
Jun nodded. She kept track of his Underground MMA matches, so she knew who was who, and when he would fight.
Also so she knew when to cover for him, and how. "I know, Davis. You know I keep track of your matches, and all other things you do down there. Your Secret Bank Account is also out of Mom's ears, still. You've been managing it pretty well, haven't you?"
Davis smirked. "I just cover my tracks really well."
Jun nodded. "I know, bro. So, you gonna be able to get a date this time?"
Davis frowned. "Dunno. I'm still after Kari, though. Thing is, an old friend of hers came back into her life, and I don't know what to make of him."
"Is it a Catching up thing, or..." She trailed off.
Davis shook his head. "Dunno. Oh, I also found out something about the two of them. They're Digidestined, and you want to know what's both funny and Ironic?" She blinked. "Kari is the Child of Light, and the other warriors always said that if we were gay, Koji and I would make the perfect couple."
She thought about it, and then remembered what Koji was before she giggled. "Oh, that is Ironic."
"Tell me about it." Davis shook his head. "Still, TK, the old friend, is the one I'm more worried about. He's not sure of his feelings for her, and neither is she."
"It's what you got from Koji, isn't it?" Jun asked. She knew all of his abilities.
She also knew what caused him to get them.
Davis nodded. "It is. Koji's abilities can be a pain, but you know they can help."
"Listen, I know you don't like showing them off, but I had heard about Matt Ishida going into the Underground. He came by with a male that seemed like the Curious type."
Davis blinked. "You want me to figure out what Matt thinks of you, don't you?"
"What? No! I want to know who the other one is. He's got a Concert near where your Match is, so I think you should be careful. Don't know why, but it's a feeling I get. Matt's a given, but I think you should be careful around both of them. If you go into either of their minds, then you'll find out why."
Davis thought about it. "Good to know. Thanks for the information."
"Don't sweat it." Jun replied with a smile. "So, how are you going to do it this time?"
"Match or Chaos?"
She thought for a moment to figure out what he meant. "Both."
"Well, Match is simple. I'm not going to throw it, but I'm also not going to hold back. As for Chaos, I'll take that like I did last time. If anyone else asks you about how I can do most of my abilities, just say that you either don't know, or, if they're Fire based, say it was AncientGreymon. You caught me using them once. I just said that AncientGreymon was involved, but wouldn't tell you who it was, or why it chose me."
Jun nodded. She understood it. "So, you gonna get some rest tonight?"
"I think it'd be a good idea." Davis admitted, before there was a knock on the door. He unlocked the door from his bed. "What's up?"
"Dinner's ready, you two." Their mom called out.
Davis looked at Jun. At least their mother knew when their conversations were meant to be private. They nodded, and went to eat dinner.
-the next day-
Davis was currently hanging from a cliff, cuffed to it. He looked around. 'Man, if I wasn't caught off balance by that Drimogemon, I wouldn't be in this position... Although this does remind me of those Numemon variants.'
"No kidding." Agunimon commented. "Seriously, the only difference is that was a Mountain, and this is a valley."
Davis sighed, before he saw someone on the opposite cliff, but not cuffed. "I see you're finally awake."
"Huh." Davis then focused on the man's heart, however, when he saw it, he frowned. "Damn. Who are you?"
"I'm your worst nightmare come to life." Davis chuckled. "What's so funny?"
"You're not even 10% as tall as my Worst Nightmare. Besides, you're not even the same species! Seriously! My worst nightmare has 4 arms, two large cannons on his back, and could destroy this world and at least twenty others in a time-span of about 5 minutes." Davis explained.
"Hmm... never heard of that one..." The person mused.
"I'm gonna take a Blind shot, and say you're the Digimon Emperor." Davis continued.
"Speaking."
"Huh. Talk about disappointing. If I was to go toe to toe with you, I'd win easily. No fighting experience, barely any muscle, not to mention your clothing... You don't fight much, but I'd guess you could play soccer if you tried."
"Come again?" He snarled. "I am the most powerful being here! Besides, I think you'll like to see something else." He snapped his fingers.
Veemon appeared on another slab. "Hey, Davis! Great View isn't it?"
"Yeah, it kind of is. Of course there's a pretty big idiot that doesn't know much of anything up on the
cliff."
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you. Because you're about to watch Veemon... As he becomes my slave."
Davis sighed. "See what I mean? He doesn't know anything. For starters, he doesn't even know you're not my Partner."
Veemon's eyes widened. "What?!"
Davis just looked up. "If you want my Partner, I'm afraid I left him at home. Veemon was only a temporary replacement. My real partner is known as Agunimon. I've had him for years."
The Emperor Blinked behind his glasses. "I didn't even think you could have more than one."
"Yeah, I've had a good 9 other Temps. Seriously, Veemon can be replaced with ease."
"Well then, I'll see what I can do about that... Oh, too late. Mojyamon!"
"Bone Boomerang!" A bone came and hit Veemon, before he fell.
Davis smirked. "Not bad. Funny thing about this?" The Emperor looked, and watched as Davis broke his binds, before sliding down the cliff face, before jumping and catching Veemon, who was dazed, and sliding down the other side, and finally jumping to the ground, before looking up. "You really have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?"
"Let's see you handle three Digimon! Snimon! Kuwagamon! Mojyamon! Get them!"
"Veemon?"
"Without the egg, I don't think we can do much."
"Who says we need the egg?" Davis asked, with a smirk. "Let's see how you handle this." 'Agunimon?' "You got it." "Digi-Armor Energize!"
Veemon recognized the energy. "Veemon Armor Digivolve too... Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage!"
"What?!"
"Did you really think the Digivice had the egg in it? No, the Egg is in my own heart."
However, this caused quite the stir with the Emperor. So much so he didn't see the Gatomon behind him as he held the Digivice and D-Terminal.
Both devices fell to the ground, but apparently a Halsemon flew in and caught them, before landing next to Davis, as Yolei handed them to him. "Hey, Yolei, you want the Snimon up there?" He asked.
"With pleasure. You ready Halsemon?"
"Anytime, Yolei." The quadruped bird replied, before they went back up. Davis then looked at the others who had just arrived.
"How did you get Veemon to Armor Digivolve?" Kari asked.
"You'll see. Hey Patamon, you want a boost?" Davis asked.
"What kind?"
"Well, we need something to take on Kuwagamon, so... how about Wind?" Davis asked.
"Worth a shot." Patamon nodded.
"Davis, what are you and Patamon talking about?"
"You want to know how I got Veemon to Armor Digivolve without my Digivice, right?" TK didn't understand, and neither did Cody, or the Digmon nearby. "Well, here's how." He pointed at Patamon. 'Kazemon?'
"I always wondered what it would be like when a Celestial Digimon uses my power." Kazemon giggled. "Digi-Armor Energize!"
Patamon's eyes widened as the energy hit him. "Patamon Armor Digivolve too... Pipismon!"
Everyone was shocked. Davis had just done something previously thought impossible. Pipismon just looked at Davis, before turning to the Kuwagamon. "I'm gonna make that guy pay for separating me and Gatomon the other day!"
Patamon's new form went towards Kuwagamon and destroyed the Dark Ring in one shot. Halsemon went for Snimon and used Mach Impulse to get rid of the Dark Ring.
Flamedramon, however, stopped Mojyamon from attacking using his flame Fist attack. Davis grinned. "Nice job, Flamedramon."
TK cleared his throat. "Aren't you going to explain how that happened?"
"Oh, just an ability I found out about. For some reason, I think AncientGreymon gave it to me." Davis looked confused. "Dunno why, though. It was also years ago that I found out about them." He looked at his D-3, and noticed the time. "Crap! I've gotta go! See ya! Come on, Veemon!"
"Uh, right!" Veemon and Davis ran off.
TK looked at Kari. "Any idea what that was about?"
"Probably forgot about an appointment." Kari admitted. "But I'm more confused about what abilities he has. He never told me."
-Underground arena-
Davis sighed as he came out of his corner. In this corner we have the reigning Champion, Chaos Flame!
Many of the audience cheered. Davis showed himself. He was wearing a pair of Fireproof Rubber shorts, a Black shirt with a circle of Red symbols on the back. He was the only one to ever recognize them. On the back was the symbols for nine of the ten warriors: all but fire.
On the front was an Enlarged Version of the Legendary Warrior of Fire's symbol. He also wore Dark Purple and Red fingerless MMA gloves. He also wore a Red and Blue Bandanna.
Said Bandanna belonged to his friend Koji. He kept it in good condition, and also Fireproofed it.
He pumped his fist, and the crowd cheered. He also zeroed in on two people. One of them was Tai Kamiya. 'Damn it! Tai!' Then he noticed the older blonde next to him. 'Matt too? Crap!'
And in this corner, we have the Challenger! He goes by the name Dark Dusk!
A lot of people booed.
Up in the crowd, Tai saw something familiar. "Hey Matt, you remember when I told you about Davis?"
"Yeah, I noticed. Chaos Flame looks a lot like him." Matt replied.
Davis sighed. "Let's get this over with Dark... Dusk..." Davis got a good look at his opponent, only to see something was seriously off. He then realized it. 'Duskmon!'
"What? I wanted to try it, too! Besides, you've got a lot of rage right now. Let's fight!" Duskmon replied mentally.
"Well, this is gonna be fun." Davis replied.
"Let's get this over with." Duskmon replied.
Davis took a basic stance, which Duskmon noted. Duskmon charged forward with a right hook that was dodged. Davis countered with a Left Uppercut, causing Duskmon to lean backwards to avoid it.
He didn't see the right fist going for the knee, and it hit. Duskmon lost his balance, which was covered with a Leg sweep from Davis, causing him to fall down.
He didn't hit the ground though, as Davis hit him with a raised kick, that sent him into the air.
Davis threw his left fist into the air, right as Duskmon was about to hit the same spot he punched. Duskmon spit out blood, before he was thrown over to the side. Davis now had one foot on Duskmon's chest, which was oddly human-like.
Duskmon, at the moment could not move. Why?
Because of Beetlemon's Lightning enhancement, Duskmon was effectively paralyzed. No one understood why, but most just thought it was the pressure. Thanks to a blessing from AncientBeetlemon, he could channel Lightning through an opponent with Physical Contact. With a little pressure, no one would ever notice the difference.
Except Duskmon. He knew the power was being used here... and he couldn't do a damn thing about it. He couldn't move, he couldn't speak...
The winner is Chaos Flame! The crowd cheered. And he lost.
Davis lifted his foot off of Duskmon, and walked out of the arena.
Matt and Tai were surprised at such a quick win, but they couldn't do anything. They had 30 minutes before Matt had to go on, so they decided on some refreshments.
When they got there, they saw Chaos Flame, just with a Fiery Orange jacket with Dark Red Trim. "You mind if I sit here?"
"Uh..." Matt hesitated.
"Not at all!" Tai said with a smile. He may have been slow sometimes, but this time...
"Tai, what are you thinking? Scratch that, you aren't." Matt whispered.
"I don't have to think to recognize a friend, am I right? Davis?" Tai sent a smirk to Davis who chuckled.
Matt was confused, before he remembered. "True. When I saw you, I figured you'd recognize me somehow, Tai." Davis sat down.
"How long have you been fighting Underground?" Tai asked.
"About 3 years. It helps with endurance, and intuition. I've learned a lot more down here than I ever could in school." Davis shrugged. "Really, I use what I learn down here in school, and no one knows it."
Matt whistled. "So, why are you here now? Aside from the match, that is."
"Well, my sister is down here, and I should be meeting with her at a concert. She has tickets, and I'm guessing its yours, Matt." Davis sighed. "Unfortunately, she has some fangirl moments, but at least she doesn't show them down here. Which reminds me, how did you get a gig down here?"
"I blame Kori. He said he got us a sweet deal on a gig, but he didn't say anything on where it was." Matt sighed. "You think she might show those fangirls moments?"
Davis shook his head. "Not until after we leave the area. She already knows better. Last time I snapped the neck of someone else and warned her not to go that route again. The guy may have been an Illegal immigrant, but he's dead because of it. As it stands, she doesn't want me doing that again. It's why I hold back in the ring. No one knows my full strength, because no human is good enough for me to use it. Digimon, on the other hand... I probably could and not have to worry about killing them."
Tai blinked. "Are you sure? I mean, I know you can toss a Monochromon with relative ease but he's still in the lower tier of Digimon I know of."
Davis nodded. "And that's why I welcome the challenge. I don't have to hold back out of worry, because, as you saw from that Monochromon, I can handle quite a bit. I just wonder how much higher I can handle. Digimon can handle far more than humans. That much I could see."
"Man, Tai. Maybe you rubbed off on him."
Tai shook his head. "This was the reason I started training him. So, you going to go for some more Rhinos?"
Davis shook his head. "Doubt I'd have much time. Between Soccer, this, and the Digital World, I doubt I'd be able to."
Matt and Tai nodded. "Does your mother know?"
Davis shook his head. "No, and I'd like to keep it that way, thank you very much. Jun knows, because... well she caught me training once, so I had to show her why. Trust me, it wasn't easy convincing her not to tell our parents, but I managed it. She makes sure I'm safe, but she also covers for me while I'm down here."
"Do you get any winnings?" Tai asked.
Davis shook his head. "You're not spending the money I earned, Tai. The earlier bouts I went through I had to bleed to get the money for. The only things I really spend it on is food, restaurants, and Movie tickets. I'm actually pretty careful with my money. I don't spend it unless I have to, that way my parents don't know about it. The less they know about down here, the better off it'll be."
Tai chuckled. "I wasn't going to."
Davis sent him a look. "I don't believe you."
Matt shook his head. "I can probably upgrade your ticket to Backstage Pass. You are on the team, after all."
Davis shook his head. "Not unless Jun gets the upgrade too." Matt sighed. "Fine. Call her and bring her here?"
Davis turned his head. "Don't think I have to. Jun! Over here!"
Jun looked at him and came up to him, before sitting down. "Chaos." She greeted. "Matt, Matt's friend."
"His name is Tai. He pretty much tried to teach me Soccer since we met. Thought I told you about him." Davis pointed out.
"Tai... Oh! You mean Kari's brother, right?" Davis nodded. "I see." She looked at Tai. "Well, you've got your work cut out for you. He's even more protective of his friends and family than you are."
Davis shrugged. "It's what drew him to me. Burning Courage, and a Will of Fire, after all."
Jun giggled. "I know." She looked at Matt. "As for you, I'd be glad that we're down here right now. Otherwise, I would have to squeal." She told him calmly.
Matt sighed. "Davis..."
He held up a hand. "Down here, I'm known as Chaos. Or Chaos Flame in the ring." Davis explained. "At least call me that down here."
"Okay, Chaos. I'm glad you gave me that warning." Matt finished.
Davis shrugged. "Figured I'd give you a heads up. Oh, and Jun? He hates Fangirls."
Jun shook her head. "I figured that. Which is why I wanted to go to this one. So he could see my true side."
Davis shrugged. "I thought as much."
"True side?"
Jun nodded. "Topside, I just act like a fangirl to fit in. Anyone that doesn't come down here wouldn't know about the Concert tonight. Word travels fast in the Underground, but rarely spreads topside. I'm a fan, but, aside from when I'm acting, I'm not really Obnoxious. I actually come down here often, since Chaos here is the current Reigning Arena Champion. Has been for two years now."
Davis nodded at that. "She's right. She does. Mom and Dad see us as generally good kids. A little slacking at times, but good overall. They don't know of this world."
Matt sighed. "Well, that's a relief." He pulled out two passes, and handed it to them. "Backstage Passes. This concert only, though."
Jun held it, before looking at Davis. "Something I should know about?"
"Probably the LWR." Davis shrugged. "Not entirely sure."
Jun nodded. "Good to know."
"LWR?" Tai asked.
"It's a code. We use it in public, topside or down here. Our family has a lot of secrets, and this code lets us keep track of them." Davis shrugged. "That's all I'm saying, though, so don't ask... and Kari will not get them either until she marries into the family."
Tai's eye twitched. "Davis..."
Davis and Jun got up. "Concert's about to start. We'd better get moving." Jun said. "Matt, I'd give you about 7 minutes until the concert starts, and it'll take about 5 to get there."
Matt realized the time, and nodded. "She's right, Tai. Let's go."
After the concert, Matt, Tai, Jun and Davis came out of an exit. Davis looked around. "Tai, your house is about 5 blocks that way." He pointed out. "Say hi to Kari for me?"
Tai nodded. "Well, see you tomorrow, Davis. Jun, see you at school."
"Later Matt."
"I have an official concert in about a week, Jun. I could send you a ticket, or two. Play it off as being the sister of a friend of mine." Matt replied. "But only for you, and not your friends."
Jun nodded. "I'd like that, Matt. And since they're probably not going to be there, I won't have to act."
Matt sighed in relief. "Jun, I'd rather you not put up an act. Believe it or not... I kind of like the Jun I saw tonight. That's the Jun I'm inviting."
Jun nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."
Davis and Jun walked off on their own. Davis noticed no one else was around. "Okay, Demiveemon, it's safe to come out." Davis whispered into his bag, back into his normal clothing. "Jun, meet Demiveemon. He's my Partner this time around. V, I'm sorry about that proclamation to the Emperor earlier today."
"About that, you said Agunimon was your partner for years, and I was only a replacement?" Demiveemon questioned.
"It was my last trip to the Digital World. I was chosen by AncientGreymon, which gave me the Human Spirit Agunimon, and the Beast Spirit BurningGreymon. Combining the two and I got Aldamon. Agunimon is the equivalent of a Champion level on average, BurningGreymon started out as about Ultimate, and Aldamon starts just Shy of Mega. After that, I use the Spirits of Fire, Ice, Wood, Wind and Earth to make EmperorGreymon, another High Mega level. By combining all of the Legendary Warriors and taking in their power, I become Susanoomon: A Super Ultimate. I'll go through all of them later on. M'kay?"
Demiveemon nodded. "And why does your sister know about Digimon?"
"You probably heard that I had the power of AncientGreymon down there. Well... I needed someone to talk to after what happened. Since Jun's family adopted me, I turned to her. If anyone asks, she came upon me training in the abilities AncientGreymon gave me, so I had to explain it to her. It took a while, but she accepted it."
Jun nodded. "It wasn't until he showed me what really happened that I believed him though. I've had his back in secret ever since. Which one did that, again?"
"Lobomon." Davis replied. "She's the only one, aside from myself, that knows the truth of the Original Digidestined. That was my group... and she saw what happened to them." His face went somber. 'Koji... Zoe... everyone...' He continued to walk in silence, thinking on his friends.
Jun put a hand on his shoulder. "Davis, you have to remember that Takuya died right after Milleniummon did. He went out with his friends, and Davis Motomiya came to life."
Davis sighed. "Thanks, Jun... but I'm both of them."
Jun shook her head. "You think too much on what was, and what will be. You must learn to live in the now. There goes a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today, is a gift. That is why it is called the present." She gave a small smile.
Davis sent her a deadpanned look. "You've been getting into American Movies again, haven't you?"
Jun shrugged. "Regardless of the lack of a plot in many of them, they have some good advice."
Davis chuckled. "True." They got home soon, but their parents were waiting for them. Both staring right at Davis.
"Something wrong?" Davis asked.
"Davis was with me after he was finished with Computer Club." Jun told them.
"Then what happened with Chaos Flame, Davis?" Their father asked.
The common thought between them?
Oh shit.
