~Takato's point of view~


I smile sheepishly at Tai and Izzy, Guilmon sniffs the air and stiffens a bit, a sudden low pitch whine/static noise comes from a device in my ear, I let my smile fall from my face. "Its been a while since I saw you guys but... I have to head out." Guilmon looks at me, a knowing glint in his eyes as he lowers himself enough for me to get on his back, which, I do. Now standing up all the way, Guilmon gets ready to run.

Tai and Izzy go to stop me when I tell Guilmon to bolt, a deep, mechanical voice echo's in my ear, due to the device inside said ear.

"Tamer... Get back now. I plan on crushing the Digidestined that are left in their hiding spot... I wish for you and... Guilmon to report back to me emidiatly so you can get ready for the battle I will be having. You will be my back up if I see fit... I will have you battle the Destined That is... If they push my troops back..." I close my eyes and I press a button on the device and say softly.

"Yes Lord Machinedramon... We will be there in a little bit... They are in the Hospital at sector B- 19 I think that you shouldn't send all of them at once... Guilmon did wear down the Agumon and Tentomon... Guilmon had... 'played' with them a while ago." Guilmon hears all I say to Machinedramon, and runs a bit faster, And soon, Darkness rushes over us when he enters a tunnel, disappearing in the shadows.


Machinedramon grins at me and Guilmon and makes a gesture for Guilmon and I come closer to him. "You two have proven your loyalty enough to me... Thus... I shall have my smartest underlings, upgrade Guilmon and make him even more powerful. And... For you Takato..." Two Mekanorimon walk up to Guilmon, who blinks as they escort him away, to the labs... I keep my eyes on Machinedramon though. He now continues. "I personally believe... that it is time for you to meet Piedmon... after that is... " Machinedramon makes gesture with his metallic hands for a Mekanorimon to bring something to him.

"You get dressed into fitting clothing. Those rags you wear are in tatters so, I had clothing made for you. Think of it as a... gift for achieving my trust and becoming my second in command. After all... you and your partner... Guilmon have destroyed all Digimon that got in my way since you pledged your loyalty to me. So, it is my pleasure on saying... Welcome to the Troops... and... my family of misfits Takato Matsuki, tamer of the one and only Guilmon of the Hazard."

I look at the clothing that Machinedramon had made for me... they look exactly like my own, but the hoodie is black, the pants are dark grey, and the shoes are block and crimson red, I look at the wristbands and the goggles as well... dark grey goggles with blackish red tinted lenses, the wristbands are dark red, the Hazard symbol on them in black, can easily be seen. I walk up to the Mekanorimon holds the clothing out to me, and I take them.

"Go put them on Tamer. I shall await for you to get back. Within a few hours, your partner's upgrade will be finished..." I nod hoping Guilmon is okay after all... Needles weren't really his thing...


I lean against the wall, waiting for a Mekanorimon to get me, to tell me Guilmon is okay... I look up when a shadow gets in the way of my light, a Mekanorimon stands in front of me.

"Is it finished..?" The Digimon nods and I grin as I follow it. Soon, I walk into some doors, and a lab table is seen in the middle of the room, there, Guilmon lays, curled up, I can't see what they did to him at all though.

'Guilmon...?" said Digimon raises his head and grins.

"Takatomon! " He jumps off the table, and runs to me in a blur of movement, he slows down and looks at me, I still see nothing wrong with him, that's when Guilmon yawns and then nuzzles me. "Can we go now Tamer... I dislike this place..." I laugh softly and nod.

"Yeah... Lets leave the Lab... Lord Machinedramon headed out a while ago... in the sewers. He told me to get you and find him when it was done." Guilmon nods as we walk out of the damnable lab, and we soon go down into the sewers.


I stand in the shadows as I see WarGreymon de-digivolve all the way to Koromon, Machinedramon laughs at this, saying it didn't even touch him. And, it didn't, the Dramon Killers missed... completely, to the terror of Tai and the others.

"Tamer... Come out of the shadows, let them see your Digimon destroy their partners! Now!" Machinedramon laughs darkly as a dark purplish red ball of fire launches out of the shadows, Guilmon looks at the D-Ds when he lets out a Pyro Sphere I look at Tai's face when it barely misses Koromon, his face full of shock, and he looks... scared, scared for his Digimon partner.

Koromon is sent flying in Tai's direction, and Tai catches Koromon, asking the pink ball if he's okay.

"Should I attack them again Takatomon?" Guilmon's voice echoes a bit as he talks out loud. everyone hearing his voice.

"Takatomon... No... It can't be..." Sora whispers softly, Tai's eyes narrow softly, and TK looks a bit scared when Guilmon's voice echoes.


I look at Guilmon. "Looks like we might as well come out of the shadows eh boy?" Guilmon responds by cheerfully walking out into the light, tail wagging. He waves a bit to the Digidestined smiling. "Hi! I'm Guilmon! Haha" I walk out into the light now, my new clothing on my body had helped me blend into the shadows, I walk to Guilmon and shrug a bit.

"Guilmon, they aren't friends. Remember what I said before?" Guilmon blinks and looks at me curiously.

"Oh! You mean what Lord Machinedramon said! The Digidestined are not to be played with, but crushed, destroyed, and killed off right Takatomon?" I blink a bit and nod softly.

"Takato Matsuki, destroy the Digidestined children, and further prove yourself as my second in command! Make them watch as their partners are destroyed by Guilmon!" I look at Machinedramon and I walk in front of Machinedramon, Guilmon fatefully follows I look at Machinedramon in the eyes.

"Guilmon, tell me, what did I tell you about the code, ya know, the friends one." Guilmon ponders a bit then answers

"Once friends, always friend, never to part, always together. Never turning their backs on each other, friends are forever. That's why friends don't hurt friends. Once you meet someone and become their friend, you become part of them, and they become part of you right Takatomon?" I grin a bit.

"Meaning... Once friends, we stay together think and thin.. right Guilmon...?" Guilmon grins and nods, and suddenly starts to glow, a red egg of data wraps around him, his skin is torn off, leaving a wire frame on him.

"Guilmon Digivolve to!"

The skin reforms, and pastes themselves back together, in a bigger form, covering the wire frame that was once Guilmon.

"Growlmon!" The egg of red data disappears, a large dinosaur like Digimon with a white Mohawk on its head stands there, fins on both arms, a strong sturdy build, black rings can be seen on its body, golden symbols can be seen, the Digimon opens its eyes and golden eyes can be seen, it grins at Machinedramon.

"Right Tamer!" I grin at Guilmon, no, Growlmon... had finally digivolved.

"Go get him boy!" Growlmon lunges at Machinedramon, slashing at him, surprisingly hurting Machinedramon, who was shocked when Growlmon attacked him.


Alright, here's an update!Sorry it took me so long, I have recently been typing a Blue Dragon x over with Danny Phantom

Finally, Takato shows his true colors to Machinedramon, and Guilmon digivolved to Growlmon, but what did Machinedramon do to Guilmon when he said he was getting Guilmon Upgraded? Looks like you'll have to tune in next time on Digimon, Digital Monsters : Takato the Virus Digidestined!
