Digimon Tamers Crimson: Shadow Tamer Saga Part 2
"…And then I just ended up here in your apartment Simon." Guilmon finished explaining his origin story to Simon who was, unlike most kids his age paying attention to the whole story without falling asleep. "So, let me get this straight. You used to be a Royal Knight and they betrayed you after supposedly defeating Yggdrasil?" Simon asks Guilmon who put his claw on his chin and then nodded in response to Simon's question. "Well, I guess that makes some sense considering that Gallantmon, your mega form is a member of this organization. But I never imagined that he or any Digimon for that matter would be considered real. Then again here you are in my apartment." Simon said but then Kittan walked into the apartment noticing that Guilmon was up and about.
"I see that you two got acquainted with each other." Simon nodded but Guilmon asked Simon "Simon, who is that and why does it look he knows you?" Simon then responds "Well that's Kittan Ackerman and he's my dad before you ask about how he knows me." Guilmon goes up to Kittan and sniffs him out of curiosity and notice that in a way he and Simon seem very similar to each other. He decides to just merely draw the conclusion and go back to where he was beforehand. "Well, I just came to check on you and to tell you that in 2 hours you might want to get to your sensei before he considers dropping you." Simon snickers a bit and responds "Right, like Sensei would ever do that." Kittan then closed the door and left the two alone.
"So Guilmon, can you tell me more about the Digital world?" Guilmon nods and says "Well the digital world is divided up into different sections and in each of those sections different types of Digimon roam. But, it seems that now I'm not so sure on what's going on there anymore." Guilmon then looks down in depression but Simon picks his head up and says "Things will get better for you alright? Just, calm down and tell me about what you do know okay?"
Guilmon once again nods and starts telling more about the Digital World "Well, there's the mountainous section, the ruins section which I'm not sure on the status of the construction going on there. The forest section which is full of large trees and some lakes and I think a lot of Digimon would want to visit there but, let's just say my missions going through there were less than pleasant." Simon nods and gestures Guilmon to continue "There's also an underwater section which I don't think I've ever been to, and last but not least there's the Sovereign's section where our Digimon Sovereign live and protect the Digital world however they can."
Simon takes in this information and asks "If the Royal Knights needed to save the Digital World, then where were the Sovereign when they were clearly needed?" Guilmon just shrugs his shoulders and says "I honestly don't know since I've never met any of them." After Simon thinks about this Guilmon asks "So, if Human beings aren't gods yet are our creators, then what are you?" Simon looks at Guilmon after hearing the odd question and gestures Guilmon to follow him towards his computer. As Simon boots up the Computer he says to Guilmon "Humans may be considered your creators but, not all of us as a species created you guys." Guilmon tilts his head now confused. Simon then looks up the article on Digimon that features a few people in lab coats working on multiple computers.
"These people are the ones who created you. They are known as "The Monster Makers"." Guilmon looks at the screen curiously and then back at Simon "If that's the case then what are you?" Simon then stands up from the chair he was sitting down in earlier and responds "Well, Humans are a multitude of things. Just ask anybody and I bet you won't get the same answer every time. As for my answer I'd say we are people who have yet to unlock our true potential and I hope that someday that potential can be seen by everyone so that proves one thing." Guilmon then asks in response "And what's that?" Simon crouches in front of Guilmon and says "That despite not being Gods or immortal in anyway whatsoever, we can do just about anything."
Guilmon then says "Even creating Digimon?" Simon then stands up again and says "Well if you want to put it that way." Just as Guilmon was about to ask another question he hears a mysterious noise and looks around to find where it came from. "What's wrong buddy?" Guilmon keeps looking and then he finds that it was coming from below. As he was looking down Simon had clenched the top of his nose and Guilmon asks "What's that for?" Simon responded "I know exactly how to cure that noise. Wait here okay?" Afterwards Simon walked into the kitchen and pulled out a bag containing some bread that seemed to be a day old. Guilmon sniffs the bread and asks "What is this? Some kind of medicine?" Simon shakes his head and says "No silly that's some of what we humans call food."
Guilmon looks at the bread and asks "So, what do I do with it?" Simon face-palms and says "All you have to do is pick up the food and eat it." Guilmon picks up some bread and starts eating it. Thirty minutes later the whole bag is empty and Guilmon starts smiling as though he experienced something revolutionary. While Simon looks at him and says "Well, I guess it's true that Digimon eat quite a lot when it comes to food. But then again, it's somewhat necessary to get a bit bigger in a way." Guilmon once again looks confused and asks "What do you mean by that?" Simon then says to Guilmon "Well, Digimon in our world are composed of Data so to speak. The bigger the packet of Data such as kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, etcetera, etcetera the bigger the monster. According to the Monster Makers original design Digimon were meant to get stronger by bonding with people but specifically with children."
Guilmon then asks Simon "If that's the case, how old are you Simon? You seem to know an awful lot about these things." Simon then just says "I'm eleven. So that makes me a child." Guilmon then starts to go "Wow." But then he notices the device attached to Simon's belt. "Simon, what's that?" Simon raises an eyebrow but then notices that Guilmon is looking at his belt and he takes off the device and says "This, is a Digivice and somehow I got it from scanning a blue card through my card reader and considering that this device's compass keeps pointing at you, this makes us partners." Guilmon then tilts his head once again asking "Partners?" Simon then says "Well in a sense yeah. I'll explain more later. Right now I have to go see my Sensei for some training."
Guilmon then ponders "Training….. Maybe, if I go with him I should be able to get stronger! And since we're partners that means I should be training with him so that together we can accomplish anything!" As Simon was walking out of the apartment Guilmon seemed to be following him. "I guess you want to come with me to see my Sensei?" Guilmon nodded up and down in excitement. "Sigh, alright fine. But don't blame me if Sensei freaks out just seeing you." Simon says to Guilmon who still had a somewhat sheepish grin on his face as he walked side by side with Simon who decided to tell Guilmon along the way about what Digimon are in the Human world…
What is Simon's Sensei like? Will Guilmon receive training or rejection? Find out next time on The Shadow Tamer Saga!
