Digimon: U-Squad Ch1
A sharp ringing brought me back to reality as my eyes turned to my alarm clock. It was 10:30 am...wait...10:30.
"OH MY GLOB I'M ALREADY LATE!" I exclaimed at the top of my lungs as I jumped out of bed before trying to get myself ready as fast as I could. Names Carl...but call me Carlos. Just trust me on this, Carl is already a stupid enough name. I don't need anyone else calling me it. Of course you might also be asking why are you so rushed? Well I'll tell you...the U-squad. And before you say anything yes they're part of the DATS. What? Do I have a digimon! You bet your grandma's cookies I do! Why would I want to be on the DATS team if I didn't? But...well, he's kinda run off. That or he's mediating by my dads pond. Too be honest, my digimon is a bit of a strange one. No one seems to know anything about him, heck even he doesn't really know. I just found this disembodied cow head one day that start talking. I thought it was something in the hot dog I ate but...
"Carlos!" My dad roared.
"I'm up! I'm up!" I exclaimed as I ran down the stairs with my black hoodie half on and my green cargo pants half way up my leg. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs I tripped and landed flat on my face. There, the glare of my father's green eyes pierced me. Without another word I picked myself up, got everything in order and went out back. There my digimon was standing on decent sized rock looking at the fountain, "Hey Calfmon!" I exclaimed. The digimon opened its eyes and looked at me with its bull head. It's long hair shot out from behind its horns as it stood up. Revealing that its feet were actually hooves. The creatures bovine tail flick slightly as it sighed.
"You're not taking this seriously," It said.
"Yeah, yeah!" I exlaimed, "I know! Now follow me to the park!"
"That is were we're having our match?" Calfmon nodded, "Very well, let us hope our opponents are still there."
"Yeah I hope so," I muttered under my breath, thankfully though, the shining sun in Yokohama village kinda brightened up my day. I say kinda because it always seems to be sunny here, but hey I'm not complaining. Thankfully I made my way to the park and took a deep breath. In front of me was a park bench looking out into an open field. On the bench where three people were sitting. My blue eyes stared into the first one. A male with a pink and blue t-shirt with the words State Français on it. Now this man looked like he meant bussiness. Next to him was a white woman with a green shirt, brown hair, and white skin. However my eyes were fixed on the person at the end of the bench. A kid about my age, that being fifteen, with a black jacket with flames on it stood up. An Ex-Veemon walked up next to the kid.
"And here I thought you'd never show up," The kid grinned.
The man in the pink and blue shirt sighed, "We had thought you'd ran away," the man smirked, "Thankfully you didn't. Now, you two know why you're here, correct?"
I nodded, the last spot of the U-Squad was up for grabs and I was gonna have to fight this other tamer for it. I took a deep breath, "Are you ready?" I asked Calfmon.
My digimon cracked his two fists and nodded, "Let's begin."
"Names Max by the way!" The kid in the flame hoody smirked, "Of course one day, I'm going to be one of the best members of D.A.T.S," He said, "And then you can brag to everyone that you were the first person to battle me," Max gave a small victory fist pump, "Too bad no one will care!"
"Well my name is Carlos!" I exclaimed, "And one day I'll be the best D.A.T.S member and then you can..." I blinked, I had no idea what to say.
"Skip the taunting," Calfmon snapped, "Get to the fighting."
"I agree," Max's Veemon said as it hoped in front of its tamer.
Calfmon and Veemon stared each other down for a second before the blue lizard jumped forward, "Boom Boom punch!" It screamed as Calfmon tried to catch it. However my digimon soon found itself on the ground, "You honestly think you could have caught that?" Calfmon pulled itself up and tried to punch Veemon, who simply dodged and tried to ram him in the stomach. This time, however, Calfmon was prepared. With one back hand, he sent Veemon staggering a few feet back. Veemon shook its head and launched another Boom Boom Punch.
"4 Fist Strike!" Calfmon exclaimed as he swung at Veemon's attack. The two punches collided. My digimon smirked before following up with three more strikes, each one sending Veemon several steps backwards. Calfmon then tried to shoulder charge the dinosaur, but found himself prone on the ground after his opponent dodged. Veemon jumped into the air and tried to hit Calfmon with a fist covered in light. My digimon barely managed to roll out of the way as the fist created a small creater.
"You're not half bad," Veemon smirked.
"Likewise," Calfmon huffed as I looked at Max who was now holding out a black digivice with flames on it. My opponent thrusted it forward as Veemon began to glow.
"Veemon Digivolve to," Veemon exclaimed as it began to get bigger. It sprouted wings from its back as its face now looked more dragon like. Then with a stroke of its wings, the light scattered in all directions, revealing a big X shaped scar on the things chest, "Ex-Veemon!"
"Crap," I whimpered and Calfmon laughed.
"Alright, a challenge," My digimon exclaimed as it jumped at its target.
"X-Laser!" The evolved digimon roared. The move was self explanitory, a large X-Shaped beam shot from its chest and sent Calfmon flying into a tree.
"Ha!" Max exclaimed, "How do ya like that?"
I tried to search my pockets, [Oh no...please don't tell me I left my digivice at home!] I thought to myself as Calfmon got up.
"I've had worse," Calfmon grumbled and stood up, "Ki shot!" He stated and held his left palm forward and grasped his arm with his right. After he did so, a small blast of energy shot outwards and flew at Ex-Veemon. However, the attack was casually knocked aside as Ex-Veemon flew forward, grabbed Calfmon by the neck and slammed him into a tree.
"Not so tough now, are ya?" The champion digimon laughed before slamming him onto the ground. I looked at Calfmon who was trying to hold back tears of pain.
"You forgot the digivice," He growled, "Didn't you?"
"No! I know its here somewhere!" I shouted as I patted down my pockets. Calfmon sighed as it slowly got to its feet. The next attack was an elbow, which Ex-Veedramon once again blocked before pushing Calfmon back. The pure black voids that were my digimon's eyes stared into the orange iris' of his opponent as he threw another punch. The dragon digimon barely got out of the way as it smacked Calfmon. The humaniod-bull caught the dragon's hand however.
"You know," Calfmon smirked, "I really shouldn't be doing this to a champion digimon like you," He said and then threw Ex-Veedramon to the ground. I looked up, was Calfmon actually winning? Against a champion digimon?
"X-Laser!" Ex-Veedramon exclaimed and shot the beam from its chest. Calfmon was easily able to roll forward and out of the way before delivering a smashing blow to his oppenets chest.
"What is going on!" Max exclaimed, "There's no way a rookie digimon could be that strong!"
Calfmon smirked, "Then again, there is no way a champion digimon could be this weak," He said and managed to grapple Ex-Veemon. Calfmon then took a giant leap backwards and smashed Ex-Veedramon's head into the ground, the dragon digimon rubbed its head as Calfmon jumped high in the air and tried to land one final punch. I blinked, I looked at Max and shrugged.
"Look I have no idea either," I said, "Either the author is making his digimon over powered to stroke his ego or he just really doesn't like you..."
"That's enough you two," The man in the pink and blue shirt said as he stood up and looked at the woman. Calfmon looked at the man too as crashed into Ex-Veedramon, who soon devolved, "This is supposed to be a sparring match," The man then looked at the woman beside him, "Tali, do you know what is going on?"
The girl got up and nodded as the sun reflected off her brown hair, making it shine, "It is simple really, Ex-Veemon had a power spike."
"Power Spike?" Max said, "The heck?"
"Its simple, some digimon experince it when they digivolve for the first time. It is normally characterized by an ungodly amount of power followed by a slow descent in power," The woman explained, "However, I'm quite surprised your digimon lost power that quickly," The girl looked at the man, "Its your call chief."
"How often do power spikes happen?" The man asked Tali.
"They don't occur very often, sir," She replied.
"The thing that impresses me the most is that that new digimon was somehow able to put up with a champion. Then again, the champion wasn't fighting at its full potential," The man nodded, "Tell ya what, I'll send both of you on different mission," The man looked at me, "Kid, meet a girl named Illyria and the DATS Terminal," The man then looked at Max, "Max, you and I are going to the Oil Refinery," He said.
"Yes sir!" Max exclaimed and saluted.
"There is no need for formalities, just call me Vega," The man said, "Tali, show the other kid to the DATS Terminal."
"Yes Cheif," The girl nodded, "Follow me."
I looked at Calfmon, who looked at me before leaning in close and whispered, "Best. fight. ever."
