A bond of trust
A new Digimon arrives: BlueRenamon!
It had been two day's since Hikari met Gaomon and became friends with him. They had encountered some Digimon that had appeared within the human world, but they managed to take them out before the Digimon could cause any serious damage to the city.
Gaomon loaded their data to become stronger in the human world once he had defeated them. Hikari didn't feel right about Gaomon absorbing the Digimon's data, yet she knew that for him to stay in her world Gaomon has to absorb as much data as he could so he can become stronger so that he can fight against powerful Digimon that might come into the real world. Hikari was also worried that her family might find out about her new friend and will take him away from her; so Hikari made sure that Gaomon would hide from her parents until she decided that it was the right time to tell them.
Gaomon had surprised his partner one day by disappearing in front of her like a ninja would on TV or movies sometimes. Hikari was relived that Gaomon could hide and that he can be called upon whenever she needed him.
Kyoto streets
Hikari was walking down the streets of Kyoto as she was looking at some of the land marks that she might needed to know within this new city of hers. Hikari was impressed that Kyoto had so many ancient buildings and shrines that could only be found in the ancient times of Japan. Hikari was soon sitting on a tall staircase of steps that lead up to an ancient shrine as she looked over at her card deck. She was trying to figuring out what kind of cards would be best to use when she was in another battle with a wild Digimon that might appear within her world.
"My option cards look pretty good, but I have to find the right combination to use with the cards that I have to use in a battle." Hikari said quietly as she looked down at her attack cards, defense cards, and speed cards.
"You shouldn't think about it too much," said Gaomon as he appeared beside Hikari from out of nowhere. "If you do, then your head might explode."
"Gaomon," laughed Hikari as she looked over at her partner with a mocking scolded. "But I guess your right about thinking too hard. I'm just worried that that I might lose you."
"You shouldn't worry about that too much." Gaomon assured with a smile on his face. "As long as I have you by my side, then there will be nothing that can stand in our way."
Hikari looked at her partner with a surprisement on her face, but that soon changed into a smile. Gaomon had always come through for her whenever the situation was too tough for them.
"That's what I like about you Gaomon," said Hikari as she looked down at her feet. "You always know how to make a person feel good about them selves."
Gaomon blushed at Hikari's complement and quickly turned his gaze up to the sky as he scratched the back of his head.
"Um…well," stammered Gaomon as he tried to find the words on what to say next. "We're friends right? It is the least I could do for you. I also don't like to see you sad or hurt."
"Thanks Gaomon" voiced Hikari as she looked at her partner again.
Gaomon also looked back at her with his blue eyes and gave a shy smile at her. The smile on Hikari's face was always what he loved best. The girl's smile was so warm and comfortable to look at and Gaomon would do anything to keep that smile on Hikari's face so she wouldn't feel sad throughout her life.
Night: In a different part of the city
All was quiet that night within the streets of Kyoto until a huge geyser of data shot up into the air. A thick fog soon covered the streets of Kyoto as silence filled the air. The air was suddenly filled with explosions and roars of pain within the fogbank. Inside the fogbank two shadows were going at one another to see who was stronger. One of them reviled itself to be a white yeti throwing a punch at the shadowy figure in front of it. The shadow quickly jumped out of the way by leaping into the air above the yeti.
The figure was now looking down at the yeti as it hung within the air for a moment. It crossed its arms in front of its chest before spreading them wide open with dark blue sapphire shards appearing and hovering around it self.
"Sapphire Arrowheads!" shouted the shadow as the sapphire shards started to rain down on the yeti creature.
The yeti lets out a loud scream before it vanished into red particles of data. The figure in shadow absorbed the data into its body before it landed on the ground again. The fog soon cleared around the shadowed figure. A street light lit the street that the shadowed figure stood on as the light reviled the figures true form.
The shadowed figure was actually a humanoid fox with sapphire blue fur on its body. The fox's front and lower paws were covered in silver fur that glistened within the light that shone down on it. The end of the fox's tail was tipped with silver and around its neck was a silver tuff of fur, and the fox's ears were also tipped with silver as well.
Under the fox's eyes were red marks and two red marks were shown on each of his front hind legs. Mounted on the fox's two shoulder blades were three feathers and the fox's eyes were a golden yellow that would pierce into anyone's soul.
The fox looked down at its three fingered claw paw/hands with a surprised look on its face.
"I can't believe it," panted the fox in a male voice as he griped his paw/hands into fists. "I've finally made it to human world by my own strength."
The fox then winched in pain before he looked down at his right side and saw a large cut on its torso. The cut wasn't really that serious of an injury but it hurt like hell to the fox.
"That yeti's attack really got to me." The fox growled as he gripped his side. "Well it can't be helped."
The fox soon disappeared into the shadows of the street while leaving no trace of him self behind for human to find him.
Next morning
Hikari was walking down the street with a far off look on her face. She was thinking about why the Digimon were coming into the really world.
Why are Digimon coming here? Hikari mused as she looked down at the ground before her. Are they coming here to look for partners? Or are they traveling here to kill us?
She was suddenly jolted from her thoughts when someone had suddenly crashed into her. Hikari and the person suddenly fell down to the ground with a groan. Hikari slowly sat up as she rubbed the back of her head.
"What's the rush?" she asked as she looked over at the person before her.
The person that was sitting in front of Hikari was a girl that was around her age. She had light brown eyes and long black hair that was tied up into a messy pony tail. The girl was wearing a light blue sleeveless shirt, grey shorts which were held up by a brown belt. On the girl's feet were white shoes with orange underneath them, and on her hands were brown gloves that stretched up to her elbows.
The girl quickly stood up from the ground as she looked at Hikari with fear in her eyes as she slowly started to back away from her. Hikari slowly stood up to get eye level with the girl in front of her. She was about to say something when she heard feet coming down the street the girl came from. The girl quickly turned her head to look at the people that were coming after her before she quickly hid behind Hikari.
Two boys came towards Hikari and the girl with a killing intent in their eyes. Hikari didn't like the look on their faces and quickly blocked the girl from their sight. The two boys quickly stopped in front Hikari with a glare.
"Get out of our way girly-girl," growled one of the boys with hatred.
"And why should I?" questioned Hikari as she glared back at the boys in front of her.
The girl held on to Hikari's shoulders tightly in fear as she hid from the boys that wanted to hurt her.
"That doesn't concern you!" the second boy shot back at Hikari. "Now…get out of our way before we start hurting you!"
"Well I only have one thing to say to you." Hikari growled before smirking and pointing her right arm and finger up into the sky. "Look up there!"
The boys looked up at the sky confused and without warning Hikari quickly ran between the two boys with the girl's right hand in her left hand. She quickly took the girl away from the boys that were chasing her, and ducked into a narrow alley that will lead them to the park. The boys suddenly realized that they had been trick and quickly gave chase as they went after Hikari and the girl.
Hikari quickly made a quick left turn with the girl struggling to keep up with her. They soon made it to the park and they quickly hid within the thickest bushes that they came across. The boys soon entered the park as they looked around for the two girls that had escaped them. Hikari and the girl kept quiet within the bushes that they were hiding in as Hikari risked a look. She pushed a few branches of the bush away to see what was going on, and saw that the two boys were running down the forest path while yelling and blaming each other along the way.
Hikari and the girl stood up from the bushes as they watched the two boys disappearing from out of their sight. Hikari and the girl looked at one another before smiling at each other as they climbed out of the bush together.
"That was a close one huh?" Hikari chuckled as she looked at the girl in front of her.
The girl nodded her head in agreement before her smile turned into a frown. Hikari saw that the girl's smile had changed to a gloomy frown and she became confused.
"What's wrong?" she asked as she looked at the girl with concern.
The girl looked down at the ground with a sad look as she didn't answer Hikari's question. That's when Hikari understood what was wrong with her.
"You can't talk can you?" guessed Hikari in a sad voice.
The girl nodded her head 'yes' as she answered Hikari's question. Tears started to form in her eyes as her shoulders began to shake. Hikari felt sorry for the girl and she did the only thing she could do in this time of situation, she started to make a funny faces as she tried to cheer the girl up. The black haired girl looked up at Hikari with confusement as she saw Hikari making weird faces at her. The girl soon started to smile as she started to understand what Hikari was trying to do and she then started to quietly laugh with joy. Hikari stopped what she was doing and smile as she saw the girl smiling in front of her.
"That trick works every time." Hikari chuckled with a smile.
"Hanako!" a voice shouted as Hikari and the girl looked up to see a man running towards them.
The man looked to be in his twenties with short black hair and dark blue eyes he was wearing a white shirt with long baggy sleeves hanging down at his wrists. Dark blue pants with white rims around the end of the pants legs and on the man's feet were black slippers. The girl, now know as Hanako, smiled before running towards the man and tackling into him while wrapping her arms around his waist.
The man smiled down at the young black haired girl as he placed one of his hands on her shoulders while stroking the girl's head with his other hand. The man then turned his gaze over at Hikari with a glare.
Hikari flinched under the man's glare with a confused look on her face. What did she do to make him angry? The girl looked up at the man before turning her gaze back to look at Hikari then turned her eyes on the man. The girl started to tug on the man's shirt as the man turned to look down at her. The girl started to shake her head before doing some hands signs to communicate with the man.
The man soon understood what the girl was saying before turning to Hikari again: "I'm sorry young lady I didn't know that you were helping my niece escape those boys that were trying to hurt her."
"No, that's okay." Hikari said with a smile as she saw that the situation was sorted out. "I was glad to help out your niece. You see I don't really like people picking on someone smaller than themselves. Oh, by the way I'm Hikari and I just moved here two days ago."
"It's nice to meet you Hikari-san," said the man as he bowed in front of Hikari. "My name is Isamu and this is my niece Hanako."
"Nice to meet you," greeted Hikari politely with a smile.
In tree's branches sat Gaomon as he watched the situation unfold before him. Gaomon had been a little nervous for Hikari when he saw the man glaring at her, but thanks to that black haired girl the situation was soon figured out and he was now watching them talk. The man soon asked something to Hikari and she started to nod her head to the as she answered the question of the man in front of her. She started to follow the man and the black hair girl out of the park and down the street. Gaomon quickly followed after his partner to see where she was going and saw where the man and the black haired girl were taking her.
It was a large Japanese Mansion with a dark blue roof top that slopped downwards on each side. Surrounding the house was a stone wall that was painted in a white clouded grey color. Gaomon had to say that he was impressed by the looks of this place.
Hikari entered through the wooden gate doors of the house and gasped at the sight in front of her. The Japanese Mansion was four stories higher then Hikari's house. The house had a beautiful garden on the west side of the house with cheery blossom threes, and thick green bushes that glowed within the rays of sunlight.
"Wow!" awed Hikari as she looked up at the house in front of her. "This place is huge!"
Hanako turned to look at Hikari with a friendly smile imprinted on her face. Isamu also turned to look at Hikari and chuckled at her reaction to the house in front of her.
"Whenever I invite a friend over to my house they would also have the same reaction like you have young Hikari." Isamu explained with a chuckle before he continued down the stone path which took them to the front door of the mansion.
"Is my reaction really that obvious?" questioned Hikari jokingly as she looked at Isamu with a smile.
Hanako gave a quiet chuckle as she lightly grabbed Hikari's hand and lead her to the door. Hikari smiled as she let Hanako pull her to the front door of the mansion. Hikari and Hanako took off their shoes before they set foot into the house. Hikari was impressed by the stuff that resided within the house.
There were ocean paintings, flower vases with flowers of different kinds painted on them, masks which hung on the walls of the hallways, and Japanese armor that stood within the hallways as well.
Hikari was lead to a room where a small round table stood in the middle. It had three large cushions on the floor surrounding it.
"Please, make yourself comfortable." Isamu said with a smile as he sat himself down on one of the cushions before turning to Hanako. "Hanako why don't you go make us some tea while I get acquainted with our guest here."
Hanako nodded her head before stepping out of the room. Isamu turned his attention to Hikari again as a serious look came upon his face.
"Now young girl, call out your friend." Isamu said in a low growl.
Hikari was surprised when Isamu said that. How did he know that Gaomon was in this room with them? Hikari knew that she couldn't lie to him so she called out to her friend in a soft voice.
The golden wolf appeared beside his partner as he looked at the man in front of him. He was kneeling down on his right leg like a ninja would when they were in the presence of an emperor. Isamu didn't seem surprised when he saw Gaomon appear before him.
"Now I see," he said as he looked over at Hikari. "You have a bodyguard to protect you. It wouldn't surprise me if you use him to hurt the people that get in your way."
"I would never…" started Hikari as she tried to defend herself but Gaomon interrupted her.
"Sir, I give you my word that my partner and I would never attack humans. Hikari is a good girl that has a kind heart, and she would do anything to protect the people she holds dear to her heart. She has no friends here in Kyoto yet and we've been fighting hard to protect the humans of this world from the Digimon who come here."
"Gaomon," whispered Hikari in surprise as she looked at her Digimon partner.
Isamu looked at Gaomon with a confused look on his face before it turned into a frown: "What do you mean Inu-san?"
"Digimon have been coming into the real world for some reason sir." Gaomon answered as he still kept a steady voice within the conversation. "I came here by accident when I was fighting an Airdramon. That's when I met up with Hikari here and how I became her partner…no her friend."
"I see," mumbled Isamu as he went into thought.
"Isamu-san I know that I might not have been with Gaomon for very long, but I know that he would never lie." Hikari said as she tried to help in explaining things to the adult in front of her. "And I would never hurt another adult or child who is older or smaller than me."
Isamu turned his gaze to stare straight into Hikari's eyes. Their eyes connected with each other as they held a staring contest between two of them. Isamu stared hard into Hikari's light brown eyes that never wavered under his gaze. A few hours seem to pass between the two humans until Isamu smiled at Hikari.
"I can see that you are telling the truth." He said in a soft voice as he closed his eyes. "You're eyes don't lie and it seems like you are the type of girl that never deceives her friends."
"Thank you," thanked Hikari with a smile until it turned into a frown. "Um…not to pry or anything but…"
"You're wondering why Hanako can't talk right?" questioned Isamu with a sad frown on his face.
Hikari nodded her head sadly as she looked down at the ground in shame. Gaomon stood up from his kneeling position to stand up to Hikari's height. He placed his blue gloved hand on Hikari's shoulder to comfort her.
"In all my years I have never heard anyone ask me why my niece doesn't talk." Isamu said with a sad yet surprised look on his face. "The reason why Hanako doesn't talk is…"
But he never got a chance to tell Hikari when he heard the pitter-patter of feet running down the hall. Gaomon quickly disappeared into the shadows again before Hanako came running into the room. Hanako ran over to Isamu and started to pull on his left arm in urgency.
"Hanako, what's wrong?" asked Isamu with a confused look on his face.
Hikari stood up from her spot with Isamu following suit as he was dragged up to his feet by Hanako. She was soon leading them outside to the west side of the house where the bushes were the thickest there. When they arrived to the bushes Hikari let out a gasp at what she saw in front of her. Lying on the ground before the humans was a humanoid fox that looked to be the size of an adult.
The fox was lying face down on the ground unmoving as the three humans came up to it.
That fox is a Digimon, spoke Hikari in her mind as she looked at the fox before her.
Hanako slowly took a step towards the fox, but stopped in her tracks when the fox let out a groan. It slowly opened its eyes before raising its head up to look at Hanako and the other humans. Hanako was hesitant for a moment but she soon plucked up her courage and started to slowly walk towards the fox.
"Hanako!" shouted Isamu to his niece.
Hanako didn't seem to hear her uncle as she came closer to the fox. The fox's golden eyes were locked on to Hanako's brown eyes as she walked towards it. She was suddenly taken by surprise when the fox started to try and stand up on its feet. Hanako quickly stepped back and watched in amazement as the fox started to stand up on its hind legs and that was when she suddenly noticed the scratch on the fox's side.
Hikari slowly took out her Digivice as Gaomon hid in the shadows to observe the Digimon in front of him. A hologram of the creature appeared in front of Hikari as she started to read the information of the creature.
Stats
Name: BlueRenamon
Type: Vaccine
Attacks: Sapphire Arrowheads, Water-Fox Clones and Frozen Star.
Description: BlueRenamon is a blue fox that is related to the original Renamon. He is quite cunning when it comes to battling other Digimon and is very fierce if he is threatened in any way, but has a heart of gold when protecting others from danger.
Hanako slowly lifted up one of her hands towards the fox's wound, but stopped as she hesitated on what to do. The blue fox slowly lifted its paw/hand up as well as it slowly moved it towards Hanako's hand. Their hands soon touched each other with the blue fox's silver paw underneath Hanako's hand. Isamu took a step forward in fear of his niece's safety, but Hikari stopped the adult by placing her left arm out in front of him.
"She'll be fine," said Hikari with a reassuring smile.
Isamu was about to argue when they suddenly heard a body drop to the ground. The two humans turned to see the blue fox on the ground with Hanako kneeling down at its side while shaking it shoulders desperately. Hikari and Isamu quickly leaped off of the porch as they ran over to help Hanako with the fox.
In side the house
BlueRenamon quietly let out a moan before slowly opening his eyes to the world around him. What he saw above him was a wooden ceiling with a lamp hanging down from it.
'What…where am I?' he thought as he slowly sat up from the futon that he was lying on and saw that he was in a large room.
The room's walls were painted a light green with paintings of forests hanging down from it. BlueRenamon looked around the room with his golden eyes before he heard the door of the room being open from his right. BlueRenamon turned his head towards the shoji door and saw the same girl that had walked up to him after he had fainted in the bushes that were near the house. Hanako was holding a plastic white tray with a brown clay cub resting on top of it. She slowly walked up to BlueRenamon before kneeling down to place the tray on the floor. Hanako sat on the floor beside the futon as she looked down at her lap with a shyness imprinted upon her face. BlueRenamon looked at the girl before him as he took in her features and he had to say; this girl was beautiful. Hanako slowly raised her head up to look into blue fox's golden eyes before dropping her head down again and quickly picked up the clay cup. She presented it to BlueRenamon while keeping her eyes lowered to the ground.
BlueRenamon looked at the clay cup for a moment before looking at Hanako again and smile. He took the cup from Hanako before giving the liquid a quick sniff then lifting it up to his lips for a sip. Hanako looked up at the blue fox again with a surprised look on her face before lowering gaze down to the floor again. BlueRenamon lowered the cup from his mouth before looking over at Hanako with a gentle smile imprinted on his fox face.
"Thank you young one," he said with a nod of his head. "This tea that you have given me is really good."
Hanako shot her head up in surprise at what the fox had said and she couldn't help but smile at the complement that the blue fox had given her. BlueRenamon placed the clay cup down on the tray again before removing the bed sheets from on top of him. The fox looked down at his side and saw that his wound had been wrapped up in white bandages before looking over at Hanako again.
"Were you the one who dressed my wounds?" he asked out of curiosity.
Hanako nodded her head a little as a red blush started to form on both sides of her cheeks. BlueRenamon looked down at his side again before turning his eyes onto the human girl again.
"Thank you," he mumbled with a smile.
Hanako looked down at the floor out of embarrassment with a small smile on her face. The shoji door opened again as Hikari stepped into the room with Isamu walking in behind her.
"Good, you're awake," Hikari said as she sat herself down beside Hanako. "We were afraid that you had died."
"It will take more than this small scratch to kill me," BlueRenamon huffed. "But where in the digital world am I?"
"You're in my house young fox." Isamu answered as he stood in front of the shoji door. "And in my home you have to follow my rules."
"Rules?" questioned BlueRenamon as he glared at adult for a moment. "Is not talking to human's one of those rules?"
Isamu glared at the blue fox in anger. Only a few minutes with this fox and Isamu was already starting to hate this fox. Hikari nervously laughed before looking at BlueRenamon with a smile.
"I don't think that there's a rule for that." She said as she scratched the side of her head. "But it's best that you don't show yourself in front of too many people. My partner and I have to be careful when we travel through crowds."
"Oh, and who is this partner you speak of?" questioned BlueRenamon as he gave Hikari a funny look.
Hikari looked towards the corner of the room as Gaomon stepped out from the shadows. Hanako jumped back a bit when she saw Gaomon appear within the room without warning. BlueRenamon was also surprised when he saw the golden dog Digimon appear from the shadows but soon smirked as he turned his head away from Gaomon.
"I thought that you were deleted Dog-Boy." BlueRenamon murmured.
"I'm hard to kill; you should know that by now." Gaomon answered as he walked up to his partner's side. "Besides, I've gotten a lot stronger from when we first met."
"Gaomon, do you actually know this guy?" asked Hikari with a surprised look imprinted on her face.
"Yeah," answered Gaomon with a nod of his head. "He and I have crossed paths with each other within the digital world many times before. BlueRenamon and I, as you could say, are mortal rivals with each other. We would always fight each other to see who was stronger and faster. It would usually wind up in a tie between me and him."
"Yeah right Dog-Boy," BlueRenamon huffed with a smirk. "I would always win and leave you to die, but you seem to have more lives than a digital-cat does."
"Shows what you know," Gaomon countered with a smirk of his own.
"Easy there Gaomon," Hikari said as she placed her hand on her partner's shoulders. "Let's not fight right now okay?"
Gaomon looked at his partner as he nodded his head before teleporting out of the room again. BlueRenamon just had a dull look upon his face as he sat on the futon. Hikari decided to change the subject to something else.
"Um…Isamu-san," she timidly said as she looked over at the adult. "You were about to tell me about how your niece lost her voice, right? Is it a bad time to hear about it?"
Isamu looked at Hikari for a moment before turning to Hanako. Hanako nodded her head to her uncle in a sign to tell him that he can tell Hikari about what had happened to her within the past. BlueRenamon looked up at human adult with a confused look before turning to look at Hanako.
"You can't talk?" he asked with a frown.
Hanako looked at BlueRenamon for a few moments before nodding her head sadly. Isamu let's out a sigh before he started to tell Hikari and BlueRenamon about how his niece had lost her voice.
"It all started a few years ago when Hanako was just a child." Isamu spoke with a grim look imprinted upon his face. "My brother and his wife were coming back from their vacation within the mountains on their winter holiday. They had taken Hanako with them to show her what it was like within the forests of the mountains. That was when a horrible accident occurred."
"A horrible accident," interrupted Hikari with shock when she heard what Isamu had said.
"Yes," answered Isamu with a nod of his head. "My brother, his wife and Hanako were coming down from the mountain, but as they rounded the corner to the main road a speeding car crashed into them. The rescue team had managed to save Hanako before the two cars exploded, but my brother and his wife had perished within the flames of death. I am now the guardian of my niece and I will protect her from people that seek to harm her. As years past, Hanako had begun to loss her voice that she once treasured when she was young."
"So that's what happened." Hikari mumbled as she turned her head way from Isamu.
Hanako nodded her head before turning her gaze down to the wooden floor. Hanako can still remember the accident as if it were yesterday and the scars of the accident still lingered within her soul. BlueRenamon looked at Hanako for a moment as he started to understand why she had lost her voice. Hanako still kept staring at the floor before she suddenly felt someone placing their hand on top of her head. She turned her gaze up to the person that was petting her head and saw that BlueRenamon was the one who was touching her.
"I may not understand what it's like to lose a family, but I do know what sadness is like." He said with a gentle smile. "It must have been hard for you young one."
Hanako stared up at BlueRenamon for a moment before she started shedding tears. She suddenly threw herself onto BlueRenamon as she started to cry into his furry chest. The fox was caught off guard for a moment before she started to pet the human girl's back with his free paw/hand. Isamu was taken by surprise when Hanako suddenly threw herself on to the fox, but he was even more surprised when he saw that the blue fox was comforting his nice.
Hikari was a little surprised herself, but soon smiled as she watched the scene before her. Her happiness was suddenly broken when she started to hear her Digivice beeping. Hikari reached down and unclipped the Digivice from her belt strap. She saw that the screen of the Digivice was flashing red and she knew that there was a Digimon within the area. Hikari stood up from the wooden floor as she started to walk out of the room.
"Where are you going?" questioned Isamu as he watched Hikari leaving the room.
Hanako pulled away from BlueRenamon as she looked over at the girl that had saved her life. Hikari stopped at the entrance of the shoji door before turning to look at Isamu, Hanako and BlueRenamon.
"There's a Digimon appearing in the city." She announced with a serious look imprinted on her face. "I have to go take care of it before it starts to hurt people."
"I'll come with you," BlueRenamon spoke as he started getting up from the futon. "You'll need some help in fighting this Digimon."
"Are you sure?" asked Hikari with concern as she stared at the blue fox before her. "You are hurt after all."
"I can handle my self." BlueRenamon said stubbornly as he stared at Hikari. "Besides, this wound is nothing."
"Alright," answered Hikari with a shrug of her shoulders. "Just don't over do it, okay?"
BlueRenamon raised an invisible eyebrow at Hikari as she left the room and started to walk after her, but he stopped when he suddenly felt someone gripping his arm. BlueRenamon looked down at his right arm and saw that Hanako had wrapped her arms around his with a frightened look upon her face. BlueRenamon smiled down at Hanako before kneeling down to become eye level with her.
"Don't worry; I'll be back before you know it," reassured BlueRenamon as he held Hanako's hands with his paw/hands.
Hanako slowly nodded her head as she reluctantly agreed before BlueRenamon lightly cupped her left cheek with his right paw/hand. The fox smiled at her before finally getting up off the ground and walking out the shoji door. He suddenly vanished without a trace before he past through the open door of the shoji. Hanako stared at the open door of the shoji for a moment before she got a determined look upon her face and she quickly ran out of the room with her uncle yelling at her to come back.
On the streets
Hikari was running down the streets with her black sun glasses perched on the bridge of her nose. She soon entered the fogbank as she came to the center of where the trouble was being created. Gaomon appeared beside her with BlueRenamon standing behind her.
"Do you two see anything?" asked Hikari as she looked around the area after she took off her shades.
"No, not yet" answered Gaomon as he kept his senses up for anything that could pose as a threat. "But don't let your guard down just yet Hikari."
Hikari nodded her head as she kept her eyes wide open for any Digimon that might be lurking within the fog. BlueRenamon suddenly heard buzzing from up above them and quickly turned his head sky wards and saw two stingers coming towards them.
"Heads up!" he shouted as he quickly jumped to the side to escape the first stinger that was fired at him.
Gaomon quickly pushed Hikari out of the way as the second stinger missed its target and embedded itself in the ground. Gaomon was on top of Hikari as he shielded her from the attack. The dog Digimon got off of his partner before checking to see if she was alright.
"Hikari?" he asked with concern.
"Don't worry Gaomon, I'm fine" answered Hikari as she smiled at her partner before looking up at the roof of the fogbank.
Hovering above Hikari and Gaomon were two large yellow wasps. The wings of the wasps were a dark purple/red color with a strange symbol on them. She quickly took out her Digivice as Gaomon locked eyes on the Digimon in front of him and that was when Hikari received the information of the Digimon that Gaomon had quickly identified.
Stats
Name: Flymon
Type: Virus
Attacks: Deadly Sting, Poison Powder, and Fly Attack.
Attitude: This bug Digimon is not someone that you should tangled up with when you meet him face to face for the first time in the digital world. His deadly sting attack will make you wish that you were better off dead instead of winding up as a pincushion.
"This information on these bugs sounds pretty serious," informed Hikari as she and Gaomon stood up from the ground as they looked up at the insectoid with a frown.
"That means we better watch our step," warned Gaomon to both BlueRenamon and Hikari. "Because when there are Flymon around then there's bound to be more."
BlueRenamon's ears twitched at the sound of wings from his left and quickly turned around: "Sapphire Arrowheads!"
Once he shouted his attack, millions of sapphire shards suddenly appeared around him as he made a quick throwing motion with his right paw/hand and the sapphire shards shot away from him. From out of the fog, four Flymon appeared as they dodged BlueRenamon's Sapphire Arrowheads and they all gathered around the first two Flymon as they circled around Hikari and the two Digimon.
"This is slick," indicated BlueRenamon as he glared at the insect Digimon in front of him.
"Hikari," spoke Gaomon as he stood in front of his partner.
"Got it," replied Hikari as she held up one of her modified cards and Digivice.
Hikari crossed her arms into an X with her modified card in her left hand and her Digivice in her right hand. She slowly moved her arms downwards before she started moving them apart with the card sliding right through the slot of the Digivice.
"Card Slash!" shouted Hikari as she pulled out her modified card in one quick motion and held it up in front of her face like a ninja would with a shuriken. "Hyper speed, activate!"
"Eat this, GAO RUSH!" shouted Gaomon as he as he jumped up towards one of the Flymon and started to rapidly punch the insect in the face.
In a matter of seconds, the Flymon was instantly defeated as it disappeared as red particles of data started floating up into the sky. Gaomon quickly absorbed it before flipping back and standing protectively in front of his partner.
"Hump, not bad," praised BlueRenamon with a scoff before smirking. "But watch this!"
"Oh boy," groaned Gaomon as he watched the blue fox jump into the air as he went after the three other Flymon in front of him.
"Let's see how you bug-brains like this attack!" exclaimed BlueRenamon as he flashed his claws in front of him before lifting up above his head "FROZEN STAR!"
A blue vortex suddenly appeared within the palm of BlueRenamon's hand as it swirled around in a clockwise motion before eight small lights suddenly appeared from out of the vortex. The lights shot away from the vortex as they sped towards the three Flymon as each of the eight shards of light landed a direct hit on their targets. The three Flymon let out a screech of pain before they shattered into particles of Data which BlueRenamon quickly absorbed into his body with Gaomon and Hikari watching from the sidelines of the battle.
"He likes to show off doesn't he." whispered Hikari to her partner.
"You have no idea," replied Gaomon as he rolled his eyes upwards.
BlueRenamon landed on the ground with a light thud on his paw/feet before turning to look at both Hikari and Gaomon with a smirk on his muzzle.
"And that's how you take out three bugs in one shot," he boasted with a flick of his tail.
"Don't get too cocky Renamon," warned Gaomon to the blue fox. "There are still two of them left."
"Poison powder!" shouted the two Flymon as they started beating their wings.
Yellow powder started falling down from the Flymon's wings and landing on top of two Digimon. Gaomon suddenly felt weak within the legs as he fell down to the ground onto his knees with BlueRenamon following behind him.
"My…power," groaned Gaomon in a weak voice.
"Gaomon!" shouted Hikari in worry before pulling out another card from her deck. "Hang in there buddy! Card Slash! Power Activate!"
Gaomon suddenly felt a rush of power flowing through his body as he started to feel his strength returning to him. A smirk appeared on the dog's face before he started charging up his attack.
"ROLLING UPPER!" he shouted before he started spinning like a wheel as he shot towards one of the Flymon and made contact with it.
The other Flymon escaped Gaomon's attack and started charging towards BlueRenamon. Hikari noticed this and quickly shouted out the fox's name: "BlueRenamon, look out!"
BlueRenamon looked up at the incoming Flymon that was flying towards him at an incredible speed, but the fox's Digimon didn't have enough strength to dodge and he waited for his fate. Just then, a small rock suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit the insect Digimon in the face. BlueRenamon blinked in surprised as the bug Digimon was suddenly paralyzed in shock of the sudden attack before it quickly shook it off. The insect Digimon shot its head in the direction of where the rock had been thrown from and saw a girl standing near the tree line holding another rock in her hand. BlueRenamon turned to see where the Flymon was looking at and gasped when he saw who had thrown the rock at the insect Digimon.
"Hanako!" shouted the fox in surprisement.
Hanako threw another rock at the Flymon and that only made the insect angrier.
"Hanako, get out of here now!" ordered BlueRenamon as he tried to tell the human girl to leave.
But the young human girl didn't listen as she picked up another rock and threw it at the Flymon as hard as she could. The rock landed a direct hit on the Flymon's head and that was when things got really ugly.
"That's does it!" shouted the Flymon before it changed direction and shot towards Hanako in anger.
Hanako stood in shock as she saw the wasp Digimon charging towards her.
"Deadly Sting!" shouted the Flymon as it shot it's stinger at the young human girl.
Hanako was paralyzed in fear as she watched the stinger of the Digimon coming towards her until she was suddenly tackled to the ground with the stinger flying harmlessly over head of her. Hanako slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was on the ground and that an arm was wrapped around her waist. She looked to see who had saved her and saw that it was BlueRenamon that had saved her from being pierced by the stinger.
"Are you okay?" he asked in concern.
Hanako nodded her head to answer his question as the two of them started getting up off the ground. BlueRenamon turned towards the Flymon with a glare as he stood in front of Hanako to protect her from the insect Digimon that had almost killed her.
"How dare you try to hurt this girl!" growled BlueRenamon as his fur started to stand on end. "Don't you have any honor?"
"Why should wild Digimon have honor?" questioned the Flymon with a scoff. "After all young fox, it is the survival of the fittest within the digital world. Why shouldn't it be any different from this world?"
"Killing a human is completely different then just killing Digimon for data!" shouted BlueRenamon in anger. "They're made of flesh and blood, not data!"
"Who cares!" scoffed the Flymon. "All I want is to be the strongest Digimon within this world so that I can get rid of the human's that are causing so much trouble for us!"
"I'm afraid we can't let you do that," spoke Gaomon from behind the Flymon.
The wasp Digimon quickly turned around and saw Gaomon standing in front of it with a cold glare within his eyes.
"This world has enough problems as it is and it doesn't need Digimon like you making it worse." Gaomon explained as he tried to reason with the Digimon in front of him. "The human's here have very difficult lives like us and we can't keep coming here just so that we can kill each other on getting stronger and moving up to the next level."
"Then why are you here?" questioned the Flymon. "Aren't you here because you wanted to destroy this world as well?"
"No," answered Gaomon calmly. "I came here by accident when I was fighting Airdramon. All I wanted was to live a simple life within the digital world with my brother and not have to fight just for the sake of getting stronger. I soon met my partner here and she has shown me great kindness that no other Digimon had shown me within the digital world."
At that, Gaomon turned his eyes on Hikari as a soft smile appeared on his muzzle. Hikari smiled back at him as tears of joy started to fill up the corners of her eyes.
"I have decided on that day that I would stand by her side no matter what," continued Gaomon as he turned back to face the Flymon with the same glare as before. "And I will protect her with my life!"
"Don't screw with me!" shouted the Flymon as it shot towards Gaomon.
"Hikari!" barked Gaomon.
"On it partner!" replied Hikari as she quickly pulled out one of her modified cards. "Let's show this guy what we're made of! Card Slash! Gabumon's Blue Blaster Activate!"
"Blue Blaster!" shouted Gaomon as he opened his mouth and shot a blue stream of fire from his jaws.
"Sapphire Arrowheads!" shouted BlueRenamon as he shot his sapphire shards at the Flymon once it had its back in to him.
There was a huge blast as the two attacks collided into the Flymon at the same time. All was silent as red particles of data floated up into the air as the two Digimon that had fought the Flymon stood facing each other as the particles of data floated up and away from them. Gaomon made the first move by simply closing his eyes as he turned and walked away from the particles of data without looking back at them. BlueRenamon was surprised by this act as he watched the golden Digimon walk up to his partner's side before stopping.
"You take the data," spoke Gaomon without turning to look back at BlueRenamon. "I've already absorbed too much as it is."
"Gaomon," started BlueRenamon.
"Hurry up and take it before it gets away," spoke Gaomon again before chuckling. "Or have you already forgotten what you've told me back in the digital world?"
BlueRenamon looked down at the ground as he started to remember what he had said to Gaomon when they had first met and battled each other to the death: "I will never stop until I become stronger and defeat one of the four sovereigns."
BlueRenamon glanced up at the data and only saw a few particles of it left and that's when he finally made up his mind. He quickly turned away from the data with a huff.
"I don't need this data," replied BlueRenamon. "He had showed no honor within the battle and I will not load his data because of that."
With his back still turned, Gaomon smirked for he knew that the blue fox was lying, but he decided not to say it in case he would make BlueRenamon angry. Hikari walked up to her Digimon partner.
"Are you okay Gaomon?" asked Hikari as she look down at her partner in worry.
"I'm fine Hikari, don't worry." Gaomon reassured as he looked up at Hikari with his blue eyes.
Hikari smiled as she knelt down and wrapped her arms gently around her friend's neck. Gaomon wrapped his arms around his partner as well for he was use to this kind of gesture from his partner and he didn't mind his partner showing her feelings towards him. BlueRenamon turned to see what was going on and was shocked to see Gaomon being hugged by a human, but soon smiled for he had always known that his rival had a soft spot for human children and new born Digimon babies. Hanako walked up to BlueRenamon with a worried look within her eyes, but that soon changed when the blue fox smiled down at her and patted her on the head.
"Don't worry Hanako, I'm fine," he reassured as he stroke Hanako's black hair.
Hanako smiled before wrapping her arms around the fox's waist. BlueRenamon blushed under his fur but merely smiled down at the human before him, and that was when he got a shocking result when he heard a young female voice speak to him.
"Onii-Chan," it was barely above a whisper but BlueRenamon definitely heard it.
"Onii-Chan?" he repeated as he looked down at Hanako with a befuddled look on his face.
Hanako looked up at BlueRenamon and nodded before opening her mouth for the first time as she repeated what she had just said to the fox: "Onii-Chan."
BlueRenamon's eyes widened for a moment as he looked down at Hanako in wonder before smiling at her as his yellow eyes wavered in joy and happiness. Hikari and Gaomon had also heard Hanako speak as well and were surprised when she called BlueRenamon her 'older brother', but they soon smiled when they saw the next scene. BlueRenamon knelt down to the ground and looked straight into Hanako's eyes before he gently wrapped his arms around they girl's body with Hanako's arms wrapping around his neck. Gaomon and Hikari looked at one another with a smile before turning to look at the two again before they noticed a ball of light floating down from above the two hugger's heads.
Hanako and BlueRenamon broke apart from each other as they looked up at the ball of light that came floating down towards them. Hanako slowly lifted her cupped hands with BlueRenamon's paw/hands underneath hers as the ball of light landed within the girl's palms and fingers. The light soon faded as it revealed itself to be a white Digivice with a sapphire rim around the screen with a sapphire clip band attached to it.
"That's a…" started Hikari as she looked on in surprisement.
"Digivice," finished Gaomon as he blinked in shock.
Hanako and BlueRenamon looked down at the device that rested in Hanako's hands before looking at each other with a smile. Hanako's hands wrapped around the device while BlueRenamon's paws wrapped around Hanako's hands as they pressed their heads gently together with their eyes shut tightly while they bathed in each other's warmth.
"Well, looks like we have another tamer along for the ride," remarked Hikari with a chuckle.
Gaomon nodded his head with a smile as he looked at his friend and partner that sat beside him. This was just another step for Hikari and Gaomon as their journey was only another step for them.
