Digimon Tamers Crimson: The Shadow Tamer Saga Part 1

As Guilmon inside the glowing orb was heading towards the giant sphere in the sky he briefly gains consciousness and looks down towards the Digital world before losing consciousness again. Meanwhile, in a government building in Shinjuku a man in a suit with blond hair, sunglasses and a lighter approaches a scientist in a lab coat with blue hair and asks "So then Janyu, have you anything to report to me?" Janyu turns around in his chair and says "Well Yamaki as it so happens, there appears to be some kind of, bio-emergence from a digital space heading towards our world." Yamaki then opened and closed his lighter and asked "Where is it headed towards?" Janyu looks at the computer and says "According to these readings it'll emerge in West Shinjuku. Should we stop it?" Yamaki then pondered and said "No. I want to see where this goes, and if it becomes a bigger threat we'll just eliminate it."

Meanwhile, Simon was just finishing his shift at the Matsuki bakery and he noticed that it was raining outside. "Well this doesn't bode well for me." Simon said and then yelled up to Mr. Matsuki "Do you guys have any rain jackets or umbrellas I can borrow?" Mr. Matsuki then yelled to him "On the coat rack next to the door! Just be careful out there!" Simon saw the spare rain jacket on the rack and headed out the door "Bye! I'll see you tomorrow afternoon!" Simon says before heading down the street back home. As Simon was heading down the alleyway that he knew was the shortcut towards his home, suddenly the alleyway became really foggy so Simon covered his eyes decided to stand still and see if it will clear up.

"What's going on now? I thought it was just going to rain tonight?" Simon then noticed a glowing light in the distance and said "Huh? What's that?" He then ran towards the light and saw that a creature was inside of it. "Could that be, what I think it is?" Simon said as the light died down and revealed a red and black dragon-like dinosaur with a hazard symbol on his chest and batwing-like ears. "It's, a real live Digimon! But it looks so, sad for some reason." Simon then puts his hand on his chin and thinks before deciding that maybe its best if this Digimon stays with him. "Alright then, let's get you home." He picks up Guilmon and puts him horizontally on his shoulders and he starts running towards his apartment. As Simon was running he ended up running past a taxi driver who saw him but the driver said "Maybe I should get some sleep tonight. After all lack of sleep will cause you to see things."

Later at his apartment Simon set the Digimon down onto the floor next to his bed and hung the rain jacket up to dry on the coat rack near his door. "Now then, let's see what you are." He says as he looks at his Digivice which turned on without him noticing it before he found the Digimon. "Guilmon: Rookie Level, Virus type. Attacks are Pyro Sphere and Rock Breaker." Simon quotes straight from the Digivice. As Simon was about to get ready for bed Kittan comes into the apartment with a somewhat concerned look on his face. "Hey Simon, you okay? I noticed that it was raining tonight and you didn't seem to be carrying an umbrella or anything." Simon looks at his father and says "I'm fine Kittan, Mr. Matsuki let me borrow a rain jacket so I won't get wet and I got home just fine." Kittan then notices Guilmon on the floor and asks "What. The. Hell. Is. That."

Simon looks over and says "He is a Digimon I found in the alley that I usually take whenever I come home from my shift." Kittan then looks at Simon and says "Look, I know that you love Digimon and all of that but, this is going a bit too far for a coping mechanism" Simon hears this and starts walking up to his father as he's still talking about the whole thing but then Kittan asks "Now what's wrong?" Simon then takes Kittan by surprise by punching him in the gut with his prosthetic arm and then Kittan gets on his knees and clutches his stomach in pain.

"What the hell did you do that for?" Simon looks at his father and says "I really didn't want to do that. But after how long this coping mechanism bullshit has gone on you really pushed my button dad." Kittan then says "So if Digimon isn't that to you, then what is it?" Simon then helps Kittan up and says "It's something that I like to do just to make friends and for the record Mom never hated you." Kittan then looks at his son and says "She didn't hate me even after all of these times that I had to go back to the Mercenary business just to give our family a bit more spending money?" Simon nods and says "Despite you not being there for us most of the time me and mom held on to the hope that you would come back like you always do and for the record," Simon then has a few tears before leaning onto his dad and says "I don't hate you either, in fact I still think you're an awesome father despite everything!"

Kittan hears this and decides to hug his son and says "Wow, I guess I was a fool. I've given up Mercenary work just to help you get on your feet and I see that this whole time, you've been on your feet fighting the good fight." Kittan sheds a single tear as he says this. "Clara, thank you. For having faith in me this whole time." Kittan said in his mind before deciding to let go of Simon and say "Hope this turns out to be the real deal like you said it is." Simon then tells Kittan "Like you used to say back in the day. Just who the hell do you think I am?" Kittan then smiles at his son and says "Well, have a good night." He leaves Simon in the apartment and Simon gets into his pajamas and heads into bed. "I have a feeling that now, life might get a bit more interesting around here. At the very least I finally made up with dad."

The next day Guilmon awakes just to find himself in an unknown environment and starts wondering "Where am I? This isn't the Digital world!" He then notices more drops of water on the floor in front of him. "Why? Why is it raining inside?" Guilmon then notices someone approaching him and at first thought of growling at him but then decided against that upon seeing some familiarity in this figure in front of him. "You know, you seem quite sad little guy. Let me help you with that."

The figure said before rubbing his hands on Guilmon's eyes. Guilmon looked down and noticed that there wasn't any water in front of him anymore. "Are you one of our creators?" The figure was then confused but thought that he meant something different "If by creator you mean human being then yes, I am one. My name's Simon Ackerman pleased to meet you Guilmon." Guilmon tilted his head in confusion and asked "How did you know my name? I didn't say my name beforehand." Simon then pulled out his Digivice and said "With this of course!" Guilmon looked with curiosity at the device in question and then back at Simon and asked "How did you make the indoor rain stop?"

Simon then looked back at Guilmon and said "The ceiling hasn't leaked the whole time I've lived here so there's no indoor rain." Guilmon then asked "But, why was there water in front of me?" Simon responded "I'm guessing those are your tears. Did something bad happen to you?" Guilmon asked "Tears?" Simon then stood up and said "Tears come out of your eyes when you're sad or you've suffered a bit of pain." Guilmon then looked up at Simon and said "Well a lot of bad things have happened to me in the Digital world before coming here." Simon then looks at his clock and says "I've got time before I need to go so, let's hear it." Guilmon then looks down and then looks up at Simon and says "Okay! So it all started with a god-like creature known as Yggdrasil…"

Now that Guilmon is in the capable hands of Simon Ackerman, How will he fare in the Human world? Find out next time in The Shadow Tamer Saga!
