Chapter 1.1: V for Victory
(Taro) The chapter kinda gives out a hint as to whom Desmond's first Digimon Partner is and to be fair I did mention that the orginal 8 were not going to be used but this didn't rule out Season 2 or any of the Digimon from Tamers... I always figured that 02 digimon had a uniqueness that were easy to get attached too without the notion of Armor Digivolving or DNA Digivolving to which I didn't like... luckily you won't be seeing these digivolutions in this story as I'm going for a different route.
So yeah

"Word" Speaking Word Thought
The Digital World
"Hi there Desmond!"
"The hell...?"
Desmond turned towards the source of the voice and instantly recoiled in fear... as his digivice was dropped in front of him in surprise as he looked in total shock from what it looked like a blue plushie doll from anime shops come alive.
"THE HELL!"
Standing before him although looking small in size, was a weird creature that looked like a small plushie of sorts with its blue skin but he was very much alive judging from it's big brown eyes and was standing up with it's tiny legs and it looked like it picked up Desmond's Digivice which he dropped to the ground with it's tiny blue arms... his tail stood out from it's tiny body.
"You dropped this Desmond, it looks very important."
"Uh... thanks little guy."
Desmond claimed back his Digivice although still in shock.
"I'm not just a 'little guy'... My name is DemiVeemon and I'm a Digimon."
"I'm sorry I'm not used to talking creatures..."
"No problem there Desmond I'm as surprised as you when I saw a human for the first time..."
"Your first time?"
"Yeah you are the first human that I have ever seen in my life time."
"And how long has your life been?"
"I don't know... I don't really remember much."
Desmond kinda blinked at how DemiVeemon exhibited signs of Amnesia or perhaps he's just young but anyway he figured that he was a bit too wet and needed to dry off.
"So... DemiVeemon is it? Do you a place where I can dry off my clothes, I fell into that lake when I 'arrived' here."
"Sure Desmond there's a village about a good few hours walk from here..."
DemiVeemon proceeded to jump up onto Desmond's shoulders and he felt the slight weight before looking at him.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm a tiny Digimon and it takes a lot of energy walking to the village... I'll point out the way so you won't get lost."
"You better know the way... otherwise I'll have to charge you for the ride."
And so began the adventures of Desmond and DemiVeemon... friends for life.
Not too far away from the meeting of a friendship of a life time, a small digimon was running away for it's life to get away from what it perceived as a threat to it's life.
"Hey don't go too far pipsqueak, me and you need to have words."
At the sound of the threatening voice in the air, the digimon ran faster yet unknowingly he was being watched by a pair of red eyes that signalled menace and terror.
"Oh I do love me a good chase, it makes me want to bash you to bits!"
Well there's always a bully in these stories to make you want to bash it.
A few hours later Desmond and DemiVeemon were walking down a forest path, relying on the Digimon's sense of direction which is somewhat useful because they made progress... but as the sun was clearly coming down and they weren't anywhere near their destination... meanwhile they were walking on top of a large hill which had a path that lead them to a clearing.
"DemiVeemon the sun's coming down, are you sure we're on the path to the village."
"Yes Desmond as I've told you before... it's only a couple of miles to go, we will get there before the sun goes down."
Before they can continue the conversation, a small mass quickly ran out and quickly looked at the two before he ran behind Desmond.
"The heck..."
"YOU HAVE TO HIDE ME!"
"Uh DemiVeemon do you know who this guy is?"
"It's a Motimon Desmond and good question... why do you have the need to hide?"
The Motimon which looked like a pink bobblehead with arms and a sort of dress for legs was shivering but he looked at DemiVeemon carefully from his hiding place behind Desmond's leg.
"I'm running away from..." Motimon then saw something and tried to hide even more behind Desmond's right leg.
"Who are you running away from Motimon?"
"That's because he's running from me blue pipsqueak!"
The attention was diverted as a small green like goblin man walked out of the bush with a swish of his large wooden club with screws embedded, the goblin was wearing a brown medievil pants with an attached loincloth with a belt holding it up, he's wearing a brown leather open jacket, on his right arm there was a bracelet that was secured on it's muscular frame... lastly he had a red mohawk that stood out from it's ugly head and it had an evil sneer like grin.
"Well, well another pipsqueak to play with... and a human as well? I haven't had the pleasure of beating up a human before... today is my lucky day."
"Hey DemiVeemon who is this thing?"
Motimon decided to pop out and jump up on Desmond's other shoulder ignoring the wince that Desmond made.
"That is Goblimon, he's a evil Rookie Digimon that loves to bully other small Digimon because he enjoys it... his Goburi Strike and Goburi Bomb attacks are his way of throwing his weight around and cause misery to the village that despise him."
"Wait what Village?"
"The Village that I ran from to avoid that bully!"
"Durr...You know that you of stayed where you were and take your beating like a real digimon!"
Desmond reacted to that badly, he was never a fan of bullies... spending a couple of years being bullied by that one guy allowed him to develop the courage needed to repel the bully and eventually moved on with his life but this exchange brought back some memories.
"Say there big green and ugly how about fighting a digimon that isn't afraid of you!"
DemiVeemon jumped off Desmond's shoulder and landed on the ground, glaring at the larger green goblin.
"Durr hur hur hur and how are you going to hurt me with those puny arms of yours!"
"I don't really need to use my arms ya big bully... POP ATTACK!"
DemiVeemon jumped onto Goblimon's head and pounded the goblin with very hard hop like kicks that made him angry.
"Grrr... GET OFF OF MY HEAD YOU WEAKLING! GOBuRI STRIKE!
Goblimon tried to swat DemiVeemon off his head with his club but the little blue digimon dodged the blow and comically made Goblimon hit himself hard on the head so much that his mohawk gets messed up.
"You really shouldn't be hitting yourself ugly!"
"Grrr you messed up my hair ya blue pest... YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THIS!"
"Bring it on!"
Somehow DemiVeemon is a lot braver than he looks.
For the next 10 minutes, DemiVeemon fought against Goblimon as he attempted to swing his big wooden club and most of the time he missed and that's when DemiVeemon jumped up and hit his head with the Pop Attack, all the time he was making Goblimon more enraged every time until Gobrimon finally got lucky with his club."
"THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH! GOBURI STRIKE!"
The wooden club hits DemiVeemon brutally as he gets sent a few feet, making Desmond worried.
"Oh no DemiVeemon!"
"This is too much for me to bear!"
Motimon closed his eyes in terror as Desmond watched as Goblimon held out his hand and produced a small fireball that was blazing brightly.
"Time for you to see why I'm the mean Digimon around these parts, GOBURI BOMB!"
The small fireball was thrown at DemiVeemon and exploded causing the little blue digimon to scream hard as he is a Training pokemon and the Goblimon who is a Rookie.
"No DemiVeemon are you alright!"
"I'm ok Desmond... he's all bark and no bite, that fireball didn't hurt... much."
"TIME TO DIE PIPSQUEAK! GOBURI BOMB!"
"NO! DEMIVEEMON!"
Suddenly a large flash of light burst from Desmond's Crimson Digivice as Motimon looked on in awe and Goblimon looked on in fear as suddenly DemiVeemon who was on the verge of death began to glow in the same flash of light.
"DEMIVEEMON DIGIVOLVE TO..."
DemiVeemon began to grow in size as he took on a more humanoid version of himself as his arms and legs grow bigger and more muscular, his ears become larger and his tail grows bigger, his brown eyes become shinier as he gets a V symbol between his eyes and upside down triangles on his cheeks.
"VEEMON!"
Nearby in the bushes, a pair of glowing eyes watch the new digivolution with disdain and intrigue.
"So the legend of the Crimson one is true... this is most disturbing."
The eyes then vanish.
Desmond looks on in awe... the small Demiveemon that he met a few hours ago is now a much bigger Veemon, The Goblimon looks on in a mixture of horror, fear and false bravado as he tried to shake of the new development.
"This changes nothing!"
"Hey big boy... you like picking on the little digimon, well now I'm your size... it's time I cut you down! HOPPING KICK!"
Veemon jumped onto Goblimon's head with a bit more ferocity and then did damage by jumping up and down and then backflipping back onto his feet giving Goblimon a massive headache.
"Ugh... I'm in pain."
"Hey remember when you said I had puny arms?"
"Yes?" A stupid look appeared on his face.
"HERE'S A REMAINDER OF MY ARMS OF FURY! VEE PUNCH!"
Veemon jumped in with his arms rotating in circles in a fast speed, smashing Goburimon in several places despite the fact that he was defending with his club causing him massive damage.
"GOBURI STRIKE!"
Goblimon striked Veemon hard in the chest, stopping his fists of fury attack but that small moment of opportunity opened up.
"GOBURI BOMB!"
The fireball he quickly gained into his hand was then slammed into his chest sending Veemon back some distance and was about to finish off Veemon!
"TIME TO DIE VEEMON! GOBURI BOMB!"
"NO! BUBBLE BLOW!"
Motimon blew tons of pink bubbles in front of Goblimon's face that blinded him for a few seconds... which gave Veemon everything he needed to wrap this battle up.
"VEEMON CLUSTER HEAD!"
Veemon gathers energy at his V symbol that fires a small laser that hits the fireball causing it to explode in his head making Goblimon flinch and scream angerly in pain.
"OWW! THAT HURT!"
"NOT AS MUCH AS THIS IS GOING TO HURT YOU BIG MEANIE! VEE HEADBUTT!"
Veemon jumps at Goblimon's chest at the speed of Mach 1 slamming in head first to send Goblimon back some distance and not realising it,
sending the Goblin down a very steep hill ending the threat for the moment.
"And that's how you deal with a bully."
"Nice work there Veemon!"
Desmond then rushed up to Veemon as Motimon slowly hopped along.
"Thanks Deshmond! Your digivice gave me the strength to beat that bully!"
"Yeah this device saved our necks... I wonder why is that?"
"That's because the digivice is a source of great power, the human that has it gains the ability to digivolve at will... I didn't think I would see the day where I get to see it in action."
Motimon said as he made his approach, Desmond realised that Veemon wasn't going back down to DemiVeemon.
"Hey Veemon why you haven't gone back to DemiVeemon?"
"Because your digivice is giving me the power to sustain me as Veemon... and I prefer being like this anyway."
"Anyway should we head for that village?"
"If you mean my village that I originally ran away from? I felt bad for having brought my problems onto you two... allow me to show you the way there.
Motimon jumped up onto Desmond's shoulder, realising that he was gonna be a taxi service for small digimon, he kinda shrugged it off.
"Shall we head off Veemon?"
"Lead the way Deshmond!"
And so Desmond, Veemon and Motimon then headed off towards the village, a few hours in and excitement already inflicts itself in the Digital World but unfortuately Desmond will soon learn a very valuable lesson... every action has a consequence and a reaction.
Goblimon who recovered from the very nasty fall down the hill, was smashing down trees and rocks in anger... he couldn't believe that he was beaten by a small digimon weakling that became that Veemon character and proceeded to whoop him in various places and bruised his proud goblin ego.
"That Veemon... when I get out of this, he will pay for this and he will pay for it hard... if only I can get stronger."
"Perhaps I could be of some help?"
Goblimon then turned in shock towards an imposing shadow like figure, it imposed a sort of regal presence.
"How would you help me get stronger?"
"By giving you the means to get bigger and when you get bigger, you get stronger."
"That sounds ideal, what do I need to do?"
"I'm going to give you something."
"Oh goody what do you mean by..."
The shadow figure showed Goblimon a strange spiral helix that was glowing and before Goblimon could say something, the helix gets shoved into Goblimon and the goblin screamed in horror at how the weird device was affecting him as his body began to glow in a dark light and changed shape into a much larger form.
"Soon Crimson Legend... your story will come to an end."
TO BE CONTINUED
(Taro) So not only we get an digivolution and now there's a new enemy that can offer digivolutions for a price... so yeah I had Veemon in mind when it came for Desmond but as I said... he's the first partner I got in mind considering that Desmond is in fact known as the Crimson Legend, someone thought I was gonna bring Gallantmon in as the leader of the 12 warriors... yes there is a red warrior but no it's not Gallantmon as so far it's not guaranteed who I'm going to choose.
The 12 warriors who are part of the legend are going to come from different lines of digivolutions, at the moment I'm going to go for a worldwide quest with all 4 regions involved and that will include an encounter with the Digidestined that we all know from 01 and 02.
So I'm hoping to get this rolling so feedback will be important and I will make changes appropriately so I'll see you guys later!
