Of Dinos and Digimon
By: Aubrie1234
Dear Readers, my first Dino Squad fanfic! THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE DINO SQUAD FANFICTION! Sorry, got off topic.
"T.K., why did you bring me out here?" Matt asked his little brother and his digimon as they walked through the forest.
"Because we don't get to see each other much anymore! I always have something to do with the digimon while you either stay at home or go to band practice. Sometimes we need to get out for a while. Especially you." T.K. told him.
"T.K.'s just worried about you, Matt. He hasn't been able to see you lately, let alone talk with you, so he wanted to get you to go for a walk with him." Patamon explained from on top of T.K.'s head.
"I see. You just wanted to talk, squirt!" Matt said as he patted him on the back.
"Well, yeah. That sums it up pretty well." T.K. said as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "Anyway, what do you want to do while we're out here, since I'm not going to let you go back for quite a while?"
"Hmm... For one thing, you are really devious when you need to be. Other than that, I don't know."
"Why don't we go swimming then?" Patamon suggested.
"How are we supposed to do that out here, Patamon? There might not be water for miles around except in the city!"
"I could fly up and look."
"...For once I forgot about that." T.K. said, embarrassed again.
"Could you please go up and look, then?"
"Sure! I'll be back soon." Patamon then flew up through the trees until they lost sight of the digimon.
"Do you honestly think that there's water near here?" Matt asked T.K.
"I don't know, but Patamon seems to want to get us back together as a family; Or at least me and you, anyway."
"Well, remind me to tell him thank you later."
"Right." T.K. nodded just as Patamon came back down and landed on his cap.
"There's a lake north of here, that way!" Patamon said to them, pointing in the direction of the lake.
"Lead the way then, T.K.!" Matt said as they followed Patamon's directions. Soon, they arrived at the lake. It was smooth as glass, and just as reflective.
"Wow. It sure doesn't look like anyone's ever been here before." Matt said.
"Yeah, otherwise this place wouldn't be as nice as it is now."
"Let's go swimming already!" Patamon said, going over to the lake and jumping in.
"What about our clothes?" Matt asked.
"They'll dry off on the way back. Now, COME SWIM WITH ME ALREADY!"
"Alright, alright! But you're asking for it, Patamon!" T.K. told the digimon as he set his cap on the ground before jumping in as well. Matt sighed at their actions before going in after them, yelling: "Don't forget me, you two!"
Later, they had played quite a lot and were now resting and relaxing. Well, Matt anyway. He was swimming on the other side of the lake from the other two, slowly and taking in the scenery. He suddenly felt something go by his leg, but he thought it was just some water weeds or a fish. Soon, it got late and they had to go home. What none of them saw, though, were the strange, glowing orange footprints trailing behind Matt and T.K.
The next morning, Matt felt worse than he had yesterday, but not enough for him to think he was sick. As he went about the day as he normally would, strange things happened. First, he was almost late for school, but he somehow got there in time. Second, when the basketball popped while he was helping T.K. and his team practice. Third, which was now, some of his guitar strings snapped somehow during band practice.
"Ugh, what is happening today?!" Matt growled as another string broke right after he strummed it.
"Maybe you need to have another off-day, Matt. That's the fifth string you've broken in the past hour." one of the band members told him. He nodded, then packed up his stuff and headed home. After he got there, he immediately sent a message to his brother about what happened.
"MAYBE U SHOULD STAY HOME FOR A WHILE?" T.K. messaged back.
"YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT. BUT, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, I'M TELLING U FIRST." Matt messaged back before turning his D-Terminal off. He sighed heavily, feeling like a big weight was on his shoulders with whatever was going on.
"How come the digimon seem to attack whenever we just start to relax and rest from their last one?" he asked, mostly to no-one as he got ready for bed. Right after he got dressed for bed, he thought about something.
Since my guitar's broken and I could use some music to listen to right now... he thought, looking around for a special thing. He couldn't find it on the desk that was in his room or around his apartment, so he checked under the bed. After he looked around a little, his eyes got adjusted to the gloom and he found what he was looking for: the box that had held his harmonica since his first days in the Digital World. Right as his hand wrapped around the small box, Matt heard a noise from behind him. He got out with the box in hand and looked around. He saw that one of his empty picture frames was on the floor.
As he put it back on the desk, he thought: How did it get knocked over? No-one except me is in here, plus I didn't touch the desk. What happened? Does it have something to do with all the incidents today? He then yawned, interrupting his thoughts for a second. Ah, I'll think about this more tomorrow. Time for playing my harmonica and then going to bed, not trying to figure out how the frame got knocked over.
"Veloci, sir! Dinosaur signatures have appeared in various places in a city south of the lake where you released the primordial ooze. Should we go and find out if dinosaurs have been there, sir?" one of Veloci's grunts asked him from the computer he was monitoring. They had all gone to Japan and were trying to release his newest version of the primordial ooze without interruption from the 'perfect dinosaurs' who always managed to foil his plans.
"No, not yet. But keep track of them. If it becomes a pattern or if the signatures get stronger, we will go." Veloci answered the man before going back to his computer. He was trying to hack the cameras to see if he could get a glimpse of the dinosaur when it appeared, like he had in his first facility in the United States: Boston, Massachusetts.
The next day, after school, Matt was walking home, taking short cuts through the alleyways (as usual), when he heard something, like someone talking. He hid, afraid that it might be a robber, but he was wrong. What he was right about, though, was that the person was bad. It was a boy, younger than him, with T.K., having the kid pinned against the wall. That got Matt angry.
"Now, listen here, runt! Why do you hang out with those weirdos? You always disappear with them every afternoon right after school and somehow appear again several hours later. What's going on?" the kid asked T.K. He just kept his mouth closed and looked the boy in the eyes, not saying a word or retaliating.
He's bullying T.K. into telling him what they've been doing! Why I outta-! Matt thought as he watched his brother and the bully some more before the bully went away. He walked up behind T.K. and said: "Why did you let him do that? I know it was the best thing to do, but you shouldn't have gotten cornered or let him bully you around."
The boy whirled around and stopped in front of him, saying: "I tried not to get cornered! I didn't want to start a fight either! It was the only way, you know that! Remember all the times you protected me from getting bullied when we were younger? You took everything thrown at you and ignored it, trying to protect me. I did the same, only for myself. I'll try not to get cornered next time so you can criticize me for it. So, just leave me alone!" He then ran off, tears threatening to fall. Matt stood there in shock, seeing how badly he had unknowingly hurt him.
I did that... I should have just left him alone to go over it. But still! That bully needs to be taught a lesson... he thought, growling afterwords and trying to find out where the boy had went. He soon found him, walking around the park. Matt unconsciously growled again, his eyes going reptile-like and glowing orange. Suddenly, he unknowingly changed into some sort of animal with dark blue skin, his back covered with forest-green stripes with brown tips. He had small arms and big legs, both having at least one brown band around each. His hands and feet were now claws, the first claws on his feet raised, and all four were the same kind of green as the stripes on his back. He had a light blue belly and the tip of his tail was also brown. He had a long snout with glowing orange eyes, his lower jaw the same color as his belly and a blonde-colored crest on his head. (Check my DeviantART profile for the picture or the profile picture on the top of this story, if you know where I mean. My DeviantART profile is the same as the one I have here on Fanfiction)
He growled again, then walked out into the open and looked at the boy in the eyes. The boy was frozen in place from fear of the monster in front of him, so had didn't move, only whimper and stammer.
"Don't bully T.K. again, do you hear?!" he thought, trying to say it to the boy. Unfortunately, he was speaking telepathically and the boy didn't hear him. He just stood, shaking as the beast came closer until he was almost on top of the boy. Then, he finally got his senses back and stammered: "M-m-m-m-monster!" before running off. Matt blinked, then snorted, telepathically saying: "You'd better run! No-one messes with my little brother while I'm around! You hear me?! NO. ONE. MESSES. WITH. MY. LITTLE. BROTHER. WHILE. I'M. AROUND!" He then went over to the tree and picked up the only things that hadn't changed with him: his digivice and his D-Terminal. But, so far, he still hadn't noticed what he looked like yet until he took a few steps. He dropped both the digivice (which was in his mouth) and the D-Terminal (in his claws) in surprise, then telepathically screamed, along with roaring: "WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?! I WAS NORMAL A FEW MINUTES AGO!"
Matt then had a panic attack all around the park for several minutes before calming down enough to message T.K. to come as fast as he could, no buts about it. He couldn't write much, though, because of his claws. He didn't get a response back, but he still waited. After half an hour passed, he heard footsteps and flaps coming from his left. He turned, looking out of the bushes he was hiding in (he hid inside them so as not to attract attention or scare people almost as soon as he finished messaging), and saw T.K. walking near him with Patamon flying close behind.
"T.K.," Patamon started, "I know you're mad at Matt and all, but you don't really think he asked you to come all the way here as quick as you could just to apologize, do you?"
"Patamon, I'm still angry with him. That's the only thing I'm going to listen to if he has something to say."
"But T.K.-"
"No, Patamon. I won't listen to anything else unless it's more important than that." Matt then decided to make himself known by walking calmly out of the bushes in front of them. They were surprised for a minuted until Patamon tried to unleash a Boom Bubble attack.
"Boom-"
"WAIT! DON'T HURT ME!" he said, waving his small arms in a submission gesture. Patamon stopped in surprise and asked: "...Matt? Is that you?"
"Yes, just don't hurt me! I don't know what happened!"
"...Patamon, is that really Matt?"
"Yeah, it is, T.K. He says he doesn't know how this happened, though."
"How do you even know what he's saying if he wasn't even talking?"
"I think it's telepathy."
"He says it's telepathy, T.K."
"Well, that explains one thing. Now, what happened after I talked to you in the alley?"
"Well... I went after the kid who bullied you to get some payback, but the next thing I know I had turned into this thing! No wonder he ran away, screaming, from me." Patamon told T.K. what Matt had explained, then said: "T.K., how are we supposed to get him back to normal?"
"I don't know, Patamon, but... I want to say sorry, Matt. I shouldn't have yelled at you earlier because you tried to help me. I'm really sorry."
"Thanks, T.K. I knew you weren't the type to hold a grudge."
"That he isn't." Patamon interrupted. Then he and Matt broke out laughing, leaving T.K. confused.
"What did he say, Patamon? I don't get what's so funny."
"I'll tell you later, T.K. Anyway, how are you going to hide, Matt? You can't go home or stay with us, that's for sure."
"Well, if we can find a good-enough place here in the park, I can stay there. Every day after school you could come and visit me." Patamon repeated the words and T.K. nodded.
"Oh, and I almost forgot. You two need to hold onto my stuff, too. I can't exactly carry it around with me while I'm like this, now can I?" Matt said, holding out his digivice and D-Terminal. T.K. took them as Patamon relayed the words again.
"No, you can't. And don't worry, I'll hold onto your stuff just like I would do to mine. Now, let's find a place here in the park where you can stay."
