Chapter 2: Strange Fates pt.2

The group surrounding him was a mixture of boys and girls around his own age. Two young men and women were behind him while two other guys and gals stood in front of young woman walked up from behind the four in front of Nanashi. Nanashi thought to himself, 'She must be the leader of this group of morons.' As if to confirm this, the two brutes moved back so leader could walk forward. She stopped at least two yards away from Nanashi and gave him an appraising look. She turned to her subordinates and said, "I think this baby has lost their way," the leader of the gang turned her attention back to Nanashi and said, "Well come on say something, or are you gonna cry for your mommy?"

Nanashi fixed her with a cold glare and let his anger surge forth. Why did he always have to be the one who suffered because of others? He took one step forward and said, "The only one who will be crying is you and your foolish little band of playmates." Nanashi then charged the city gangers head on. This startled everyone except the leader; she just smiled, took out a small device and said, "LadyDevimon come and punish him."

Nanashi had to dive into a roll as something struck the spot he had just been standing. He turned around and couldn't believe his eyes, there in front of him was a digimon. Not just any digimon, but one of the worst. LadyDevimon was an Ultimate level fallen angel virus type digimon. She stood tall at nearly seven feet with a slim but muscular build. She wore a skintight leather outfit with her tattered wings falling down behind her like a scarf. She had the appearance of a succubus with a deadly left arm, which had extremely long and sharp red nails.

Nanashi began to look for some form of escape but noticed that at both ends of the alley were two gatomon and two monochromon blocking any way in or out of the alley. 'Great, just great, I've gone and gotten myself into this mess and there's no real way out. Wait maybe I could-' His thoughts were interrupted as a voice yelled out "Darkness Wave!" Nanashi just managed to dodge as a crescent wave of black energy went by him. He decided then and there to go with the plan that had been forming in his mind. While Nanashi had lived an average life he was not an average person. Few people knew it but Nanashi was an excellent tactician and was able to outmaneuver anyone and everyone he came across. He had proved that many times before and was about to do it again here. Nanashi kept dodging LadyDevimon's attacks waiting for her to unleash her poison attack.

He didn't have to wait long as the succubus digimon soon became fed up with the game of cat and mouse and unleashed her poison attack. Nanashi snapped his yo-yo up in front of his face so that it reflected the attack back at LadyDevimon and the two Monochromon behind her. He then charged the dark digimon as she hunched over in pain. He hopped up on her back and used it as a springboard in order to reach the wall. Nanashi quickly ran up the wall a few steps and flung his yo-yo so that it wrapped around a pipe that was jutting out of the wall in order to further run and twist himself over the lip of the wall. Right into the waiting paws of one of the Gatomon that had been below, which promptly knocked him out.

When Nanashi came to he noticed he was in a cell with his arms tied behind his back. He looked around the area he was in and noticed that the "cell" wasn't really a cell. It looked like it had been made with haste but was comfortably furnished. In the back corner was a bed with a table and two chairs near to it. There was a door near to the other corner of the room that, upon further inspection, served as a restroom. Nanashi thought to himself, 'While these people may have seemed bad at first they at least had the decency to think I would like some privacy.' He walked over to the bed and lay back down for a while in order to decide his next course of action. He could either wait here for his captors to come back or he could try and escape. Nanashi decided it would be better to escape rather than wait in the cell for those gangers or LadyDevimon. He curled up into a ball and slipped his bound hands down and over his feet so that his hands were in front of him. He quickly rolled from the bed and walked over to the bars of the cell. He noticed they were made from wood, which he found odd. He reached up and took hold of one of the bars and gave it a slight tug.

The bar easily snapped in half, which surprised Nanashi. He went to work on three other bars and received the same result. Nanashi slowly looked around the hall his cell was in to check if anyone had heard his work. He waited a few minutes to make sure and then charged off to his left. He kept charging through the maze of halls until he ran right into a door headfirst. "OW!" he yelled. Nanashi got back to his feet while rubbing his now aching head. He looked at the door and saw it was made of iron, with a handle and no locks or bars. He walked over to the door and tried turning the handle. The door opened easily and Nanashi found himself outside an abandoned warehouse and realized that it was nighttime. He looked around and noticed he wasn't that far from home and started to walk. After fifteen minutes Nanashi felt extremely tired. He had been running on pure adrenaline and that forced nap by his captors hadn't made him feel any better. He sat down hard on a nearby bench in order to rest. He looked up at the night sky to gaze at the full moon. Nanashi continued to look up at the moon for some time and said, "Even though this has been a horrible day, it's a night like this that makes it all go away."

As Nanashi was looking up at the he noticed a brief flash and then saw something speeding towards him. The object was enveloped in a silvery light and appeared to have an egg shape. Nanashi quickly rolled off the bench while trying to keep an eye on the speeding object. The strange thing landed a few yards away in a copse of trees, leaving a small crater. Nanashi got up and walked over to the landing site and what he saw surprised him. There in the middle of the crater was a Digi-Egg. While it was rare to see one come down in the human world it was not unheard of. The egg was a dark purple that was close to the color of midnight with a silver crescent moon on it. Nanashi crawled over to the egg and picked it up only to notice that it was shaking rapidly. Suddenly a bright light enveloped him. When Nanashi could see again he saw that instead of the egg, he was holding a small purple fox with the same silver mark on its head as the egg had. It looked up at him with soft golden eyes, smiled, and said, "Hi tamer, I'm LunarViximon!"
