Digimon, digital monsters, a franchise I have loved for a while, even though it isn't everyone's cup of tea I decided to make a fic for it in joint with my good friend writingwithgusto, so enjoy!
On a bright sunny day, at Crossroads Secondary School, in Tokyo, Japan, a fight was ongoing in the courtyard. A young man stood there, standing 5' 10", smiling somewhat insanely as his opponent towered over him, easily 7' 2", smiling sadistically, he said, "Well, little punk, having second thoughts?"
"Hell no, this is gonna be fun!" The young man charged forwards, as the taller one leaned over to punch him, the smaller jumped up, wrapping his legs around his opponents neck and performing a hurricanrana on him, sending him head first into the ground
On the sidelines, a girl shouted to him, "Way to go Jaga!"
"ah, it's nothing, now come on, get back up, you can't be that weak!"
The man stood up, his nose bleeding, "Shut the hell up, hey, bros! deal with whoever was just cheering him on!"
Two men went running up to the girl who shouted, one girl stood in front of her, saying, "Back off, I don't want to fight you but I will if I have to."
One of the two men said, "That's cute, but you can't hurt us, girly, right bro?"
As the man looked to his comrade, he saw him fall to the ground, a large dent on the back of his head, behind him stood a taller young man, holding a bokken akin to what would be used in kendo matches, made of thick oak and painted jet black, his hair being of the same color, his hair parted in the center of his forehead, his bangs hanging down to his chin, in the back his hair kept in a short ponytail, hanging down at his shoulders, he spoke up, "I'm afraid I won't allow that, you aren't about to harm anyone else, Ayu, Nissa, you two alright?" For the first time since he showed up, he sported a friendly and kind smile as opposed to the menacing scowl when he appeared.
The girl who spoke up against the two said eagerly, "Yeah, Takeshi, I'm fine, what about you, Ayu?"
Ayu nodded, Nissa looked to the second thug who showed up, who wound up to clock Takeshi, "I don't think so," Takeshi quickly turned his sword around, slamming his opponent's head with the back of his "blade" sending him straight to the ground with a thud, Takeshi then looked towards Jaga, "I don't think they'll be getting up anytime soon, go ahead and finish that idiot off and let's get going, Kendo club just ended."
Jaga nodded, "Hell yeah!" Jaga then ran, full tilt at his opponent, who was still fixated on his two goons who just got knocked flat, Jaga quickly wrapped his arms around his opponent's waist, suplexing him, knocking him out, "and that's a wrap, I would've liked it if he were a stronger opponent, though."
Ayu ran up, her oversized blue jacket bouncing as she ran, "Nice one, Jaga!"
Jaga looked to the girl, who stood there in a purple tank top, short shorts, sandals, and an oversized hoodie, which she pulled the hood down to reveal a head full of shoulder length auburn hair, adorned with a purple streak, "Nah, he wasn't much of an opponent, especially if he thought attacking my friends was a good way to win the fight."
Nissa now ran up, her blonde hair bouncing, she stopped in front of Jaga, standing three inches above Ayu at 5' 4", wearing a pair of jean shorts that extend to above her knees, a blue tank top, and a pair of dress shoes, "Nevertheless, that was a good win, same to you, Takeshi."
Takeshi shrugged, Jaga took the opportunity to speak, "Come on, let's get going, we're all supposed to hang out together!"
They all nodded, everyone but Takeshi shouted as all four of them took off, "Let's go!"
Later on, at Takeshi's house, Ayu and Nissa gaped, looking around, Ayu saying, "Whoa…Takeshi I didn't know you lived here…this place is huge!" the last word echoing through the halls of the mansion
Takeshi's face had upon a blank expression, as he shrugged, "My dad is Hugh Tenrai."
Jaga was visibly surprised, "Whoa, that guys a total aristocrat, nice!"
Takeshi shrugged, "Eh, I guess, come on, I just got a new computer, we can all play on it."
The other three cheered, following closely behind Takeshi, sitting down in a large room, Takeshi tapped a few buttons on his computer, before a large monitor on the wall turned on, showing what appeared to be a four player beat em up, "There we go, everyone take a controller, we'll play some party crashers."
A few hours of gaming had passed, with everyone having a great time, then, Takeshi stood up, beckoning the others to follow him as they began playing a large virtual reality game, with Takeshi grabbing his bokken to control his character's weapon, the four played for a bit, but as Takeshi went to turn off the game, something went wrong, and a bright flash of light shone around them, "Whoa, what's going on?!" Where the last words to escape everyone's mouths before they fell unconscious.
Eventually, Jaga groaned, opening his eyes and looking around, they looked to be in a strange and beautiful land, he didn't see his friends anywhere, he stood up, "Am I dead?" He balled up his fist, punching himself in his stomach, he fell to the ground, coughing up a little blood, he looked up, his eyes closed in the pain, "I'm alive! Yay!"
A short distance away, he heard a familiar voice, "Jaga? Is that you?"
"Ayu? Where are you?"
"Over here!" Jaga followed her voice, looking down a hill, seeing his friend at the bottom of the steep incline, "Where are we?"
"I don't know, are the others down there with you?"
Ayu looked around, and out of the woods walked Nissa, followed shortly by Takeshi, who had his bokken threaded into his belt loop on his black jeans, his white tank top now covered up as he had zipped up his black vest, stopping at the neck line, "Yeah, we're ok!"
"Alright, I'll be right down!" Jaga jumped, sliding down the rocks of the hill, jumping and rolling as he reached the bottom, "Ugh, I think I got rocks in my pants," he then shook his loose fitting blue jeans, his long, blonde hair shaking violently as he did so, several large rocks fell out, "Ok, I'm good now."
Takeshi looked around, as Ayu asked, "Takeshi, do you know this place."
Takeshi replied with a sigh, "unfortunately, no, but I feel a heft in the air, this place is not a safe paradise as it appears," as he said this, a human sized beast, clothed in samurai armor all over its back bolted out of the woods, taking shelter behind the four friends, as a much larger beast, appearing to be a giant black and white wolf with razor sharp fangs charged out, quickly zeroing in on Ayu and going to swipe at her, an instant before it made contact, however, the attack was blocked by Takeshi and his bokken, who glared up at the beast, "Jaga, little help here!"
Jaga nodded, "Right," he charged at the beast, dodging under his other paw as he leapt up, clocking the monster with an uppercut, "chew on this, furball!" as the beast recoiled, it opened its mouth.
"You are trespassing in my territory! If you want to fight me, go ahead, I'll eat you for lunch!"
Takeshi backed away, awestruck by what was in front of him, "What is this thing, and why can it talk?"
The first creature spoke up, "You act like you've never seen a Garurumon before!"
Takeshi looked at the smaller creature, which now that he looked at it, looked like a dinosaur with steel samurai armor, complete with a ponytail similar to Takeshi's except red in color, "What the hell's a Garurumon?"
"A digimon, like me, what are you though, I've never seen digimon like you."
Jaga spoke up, getting ready to fight the beast once more, "We ain't digimon like you, we're humans, and this thing is about to be lunch!"
Takeshi nodded, charging side by side, as Jaga's fist collided with the beast, as did Takeshi's wooden blade, sending the beast flying into the forest, Takeshi threaded his sword back into his belt loop, and turned to the creature behind them, "Who are you, and why was that thing so keen on making you it's lunch?"
The digimon bowed, clasping his claws together, before standing on one leg, extending his right arm, and craning his neck around like a kabuki actor, "I am known by many names, the dragon of honor, the blade of justice, and the sword of- OW!" He was cut off by Takeshi banging on the creatures head once.
"Get to the point, will ya? If that thing comes back, there's only so much I can do with a wooden sword."
"Fine, fine, just ruin my moment," the creature sighed, "I'm Ryudamon, and that Garurumon was chasing me because I had to go into his turf to get some medicine for my friend Lunamon…Oh no!"
Jaga looked at Ryudamon, "What?"
"Lunamon…she's probably reverted back to a Moonmon by now! I've been gone way too long…ugh, but I can't get past that Garurumon alone, I hate to ask this but, can you help me?"
Takeshi looked at the digimon, then looked at Jaga, and as they both smirked, they said together, "Hell yeah!"
"Thank you so much! Come on, let's hurry," He got ready to run, but was stopped by Takeshi
"Wait a sec, Ryudamon, just how fast are you?"
"uhh, pretty fast, Garurumon couldn't keep up with me, afterall."
"can you carry roughly 160 pounds?"
"I guess, why?"
Jaga and Takeshi looked at Ayu and Nissa, who returned the look for a second before realizing, Ayu quickly shouted, "No way!"
Takeshi replied, "just get on the damn digimon, you two aren't fast enough to keep up, and I have a plan that I can't do if I'm carrying either of you."
Ayu looked to Nissa for support, but she was already climbing atop Ryudamon, Ayu sighed and climbed up behind her, Ryudamon smiled and said, "hold on tight, you two, I won't be slowing down until we get there."
Ayu sighed and gripped onto the armor on Ryudamon's back, "How did we get into this situation?"
Jaga and Takeshi crouched down, Takeshi saying, "Ok, judging by how far he flew and the wind, that beast probably rolled when he landed, so he should be roughly 50 to 60 meters away."
Ryudamon chimed in, getting ready to run as well, "If you're right, then he landed right back at his den, that's not good."
Jaga took this opportunity to chime in, "Burn that bridge when we get to it," he then looked ahead, and chuckled, "Just like the 50-meter dash back at school, right T?"
Takeshi nodded, "Except this time we aren't running for a grade, we're running to save a life."
With that, they took off, running full-tilt straight ahead through the forest, as they ran, Nissa asked, "Hey, Ryudamon, what kind of sickness does your friend have?"
"It's a Digi virus, it's corrupting her data and reverting her back to a Digi egg, after that there's no guarantee she'll be the same digimon as when she was turned into the egg."
"Well that doesn't sound good, Takeshi, we've gotta hurry!"
Takeshi replied, "I heard, alright, I'm gonna take the treetops from here, see if I can distract dog breath while you guys get the meds."
Jaga nodded, "You can count on us!"
Takeshi nodded in return, leaping into and through the treetops, jumping from branch to branch, Ayu watched and asked, "Are you sure he'll be safe?"
Jaga laughed as he kept running, "Trust me, if there's something I've learned from sparring with him, if he has something to hit someone with he's almost unstoppable."
Meanwhile, at Garurumon's den, he sat down, looking around, "Those kids…ugh, I'm gonna have to kill them later."
"Not likely, dog breath!" Garurumon looked around, seeing Takeshi in the tree line, who then leapt down, running past Garurumon, "Come and get me, pooch!"
Garurumon roared, chasing after Takeshi, shortly after they ran off, Ryudamon and Jaga ran up with Ayu and Nissa, running into the tree that Garurumon lived in, Ryudamon said, "alright, grab the meds and let's get going!"
Nissa hopped off, running over to a cabinet and grabbing one of the containers, she tossed it to Ryudamon who caught it and got ready to dash off, but then Nissa grabbed two more, putting them in her purse, "Alright, let's go!"
Ryudamon nodded, "Let's go find Takeshi."
Jaga was caught off guard, "I thought we were in a hurry to get back to your friend?"
"We have an entire day, I don't want to lose a new friend, especially one as awesome as him."
The three humans in the room nodded to each other, then all four of them shouted, "Let's go!"
Hope you guys enjoyed, I'll try to upload this as often as possible, especially now that summer is coming around.
