The Other Tamers Chapter 2:

Dorumon Explains it All!

Paladin101: Hey guys! I was given permission to use my friend oOmystery of chaosOo's character, Jaqueline, as a character. Given, of course, that Myst received credit. Anyway, her nickname, Jace, remains unchanged, and so does pretty much everything el –

Jace: You do realize they're probably not reading this anyway, right?

Lunamon: 100% correct.

Paladin101: …*sigh*. Whatever. Anyways, as you can already tell, Lunamon is Jace's partner Digimon, and this chapter will be focused around her. The reason Dorumon's in the title is because he's gonna explain everything to Shade and Jace near the end. Let's go!

Text: Thoughts.

"Geez. That what's-his-face kid is definitely hiding something." murmured a copper-haired girl darkly, watching as a boy hefted his backpack with some serious effort, double-checked the opening, and ran off from school. Making up her mind, she hefted her own backpack and walked after him, breaking into a run when she saw that he had brought his bike. The girl's name was Jaqueline Rose Joy, and she was known throughout the school as more of a loner than most, though she was always helpful. The girl had an eye for detail, and had noticed that the boy – Shade Hytes, that was his name – had been paying special attention to his backpack recently, making sure no one got a peek inside. She could've sworn she had heard a squeak from inside when he had accidentally dropped it.

Well now. That's odd. she thought as she watched him bank sharply on his bike, making a hairpin turn into an alleyway. She caught snatches of conversation as she continued to run, tired but determined.

"…Sure there's a wild…?"

"…around… next corner…"

Now THAT'S suspicious. she thought, heartened by her discovery. Who was he talking to, exactly?

But following him around the corner, she skidded to a halt, a slight collection of mud on her red trainers as she stared at the huge, and very out of place, fog bank in front of her.

"No way. He went in there?"

"Holy-!"

"Yeah, that's that Hytes kid. Better go make sure he doesn't hurt himself…" murmured Jace, walking into the fog bank. Then she ducked down as a piece of metal flashed past her head.

"Whoa! What's… Going… Holy…"

She gaped in disbelief as Shade stared down a giant white centaur-thing holding a giant dart. The centaur thing she quickly identified as a KnightChessmon (White), but that didn't explain why in hell it was standing there!

And then the KnightChessmon snapped its head forward and growled, looking around. A small purple Digimon – a Dorumon? – danced around the huge Champion-level.

"Dorumon, watch out!"

"Tiny Metal!"

The Dorumon continued to pound the KnightChessmon as Shade whipped out a card and a… Wait. A freaking Digivice?!

But before he could swipe the card, the KnightChessmon announced its attack. The name was stupid. The attack was not.

"Big Darts!"

The Dorumon was sent flying into Shade, and both crashed into the wall.

That was when the KnightChessmon noticed her. It spun the Darts around and announced its next move.

"Knight Lancer!"

Jace froze like a deer in the headlights.

"AAAAAAAAA…"

Something began to shine from her palm – why in the heck was she holding her Card Reader…?

"Tag! You're it! DINO TOOTH!" yelled the Dorumon, attacking with a powerful bite, throwing the KnightChessmon off course.

That was when Jace interrupted everything.

"Digimodify! Lunamon, activate!" she shouted, on pure instinct more than anything.

Very, very elsewhere.

A white Digimon raised her head, wondering where the origin of the strange noise was, before digitizing and disappearing.

Back to our heroes.

"That girl's another?!" cried the KnightChessmon.

"Whoop!" cried an unknown voice, and something very… White… crashed onto the KnightChessmon.

"Terribly sorry, good sir. I'm Lunamon." apologized the Digimon, hopping off.

Even the attacking Digimon could do nothing but stare. Until Shade swiped another card.

"Digimodify! Special Technique Hyper Dash Metal Cannon activate!"

Dorumon ran up to the KnightChessmon and sent it flying with a ball of metal.

"That should keep it down for at least a minute. Jace – run."

"Not a chance, kid. I'm in this as deep as you are, so no backing out now." replied the girl, adapting at what must have been record speed.

"I'll help with my Lunar Claw!" announced the Lunamon, spinning to face the recovering KnightChessmon.

"Rargh! Away with ye, foul insects!" roared the KnightChessmon, charging again…

"Digimondify! Hyper Wings activate!"

And being sent flying by a Dorumon to the face.

"Tag! You're it! HYPER METAL CANNON!"

"LUNAR CLAW!"

"GYAAAAAAAAAH!"

The Champion level Digimon fuzzed out of existence, and both Digimon absorbed his data.

"Alright, what in the HELL is going on?!" yelled Jace, storming up and punching Shade square in the jaw.

"Agh!"

"Alright. Here's how it works. Basically, you two are Tamers, which means we're your partner Digimon and we have to band together to stop whatever in the hell it is coming. Whatever it is, it's big."

"…That's it?"

"That's it."

Paladin101: Geez, I'm a slow updater. But hey, it's mostly because of god-damned school.

Shade: I hate going to school…

Paladin101: See you next time!
