It was Friday morning as Davis got up and groaned as his body and hands throbbed in pain.
Apparently his body is still recovering from fighting the three street thugs last night in the cold.
He heard the news report, decided to try and not to get into any more fights on the streets.
Still he showers as he looked over the bruises he got the other day as they were starting to fade a bit.
He got dressed in a black shirt since all his blue shirts were dirty, blue jeans to cover his scrapes and bruises on his legs.
He puts on his shoes and got his backpack and goes to school with a slight headache and a bruise covered by his hair.
He noticed that he forgot his goggles, but remember that they were covered in blood still because he forgot to wash them.
When he got to school he found everyone staring at him for it probably because of the cuts and bruises on his face that were still there.
Finally, he got to the computer room and looks up to see Cody, Yolei, Ken, T.K. and Kari were outside the classroom chatting.
Seeing T.K. with his arm around Kari just spiked his anger, but the pain from his bruises made him suppressed it this time.
When he came up to them, everyone gasped at the bruises and cuts he had on his face which made him nervous.
Ken had a worried expression on his face, but quickly hid it. Yolei and T.K. looked as if it was a regular thing to happen.
Cody looked a bit pale, while Kari was the most startled in seeing Davis in the shape he was in now.
"Good god Davis, you look worse than an old banana in a monkey pit. What happened?"
Kari asked as she looked him over more in concern since she cared about her friends' safety.
Davis stepped back from her as her hand touched a nasty bruise on his face which didn't hurt.
T.K. just rolled his eyes waiting for some lame excuse Davis would give them for what happened.
"Well, I was just walking home when a group of ninjas appeared out of nowhere and attacked me for no reason. I scared them off even though they got some hits on me."
Davis knew it was half true as he told his friends, but what Davis didn't notice was the frown that appeared on Ken's face.
"Figures Davis can't even defend himself; you could have at least came up with a better excuse than that."
Yolei said making the others laugh except Ken as the bell for the first class went off as the doors were unlocked.
Davis felt his anger spike again as he sat down and tried to focus on his classes for the day rather than the pain.
However, what surprised Davis was that he was actually concentrating better and was not thinking about the Digital World or Kari.
He always worried about getting to Kari first before T.K., but now that T.K. had Kari and there wasn't anything he could do about it he was able to focus better.
Soon lunchtime rolled on by and Davis was getting his lunch, heading to an empty table near an open window where you can see the school garden.
He didn't feel like hanging out with his friends right now because if he snapped again like he did yesterday he wouldn't be able to stop himself.
Ken noticed as he was in line for food that Davis was sitting alone and the digi-gang didn't seem to notice him either which was rude of them.
He went to join Davis after getting his food wanting to find out what happened yesterday as Davis stabbed his food roughly.
"You might have everyone else fooled, but not me Davis. I know how you got those bruises."
"I have no idea what you're talking Ken, shouldn't you be hanging out with the perfect couple crowd."
Davis didn't feel like talking right now, he just felt like quickly eating his lunch and getting out of the lunchroom as fast as possible.
"I'm your best friend Davis; you can talk to me about anything. After everything we've been through I want to help you out like you did for me."
Ken was now wondering what had happened to the Davis he knew that was loud and excited about almost everything.
This Davis that was in front of him was a sad, angry outlaw that was accused of something he didn't do.
Davis sighed as he angrily picked apart his food before stabbing his spork into the bread roll which cracked in half.
He didn't feel like venting his anger out on Ken, so he decided to take it out on his food, which barely helped at all.
"You really want to know soccer captain? After what happened on the field, I decide to walk around the hallways of the school to help clear my head. It was then that I heard some girls were talking about being invited to T.K. and Kari's party and anyone who was not invited is a loser. Therefore, can you guess who wasn't invited to the party? That's right it was me for most of the school sees me as a loser. So, I went to release my anger by walking around. I just kept on walking until I went down a street, and these punks surrounded me. They attacked me for no reason at all and I had to try defending myself, besides I'm alright now, don't need you to worry about me, but thanks for listening though."
Ken sighed as he ate lunch with his best friend and soon the school day went by like a breeze as he hoped Davis would be okay.
Davis made his way home as he went to lay in his room, his mind thinking about last night and the rush of energy he felt fighting.
He didn't have any homework since he managed to get it done at school, which was a shock because that never happened at all in his life.
His thought went on about what the man said the other day as he pulled out the card, looked at it, and figured why not see what it was all about.
He changed his pants to wearing shorts for it got hot outside, and ran out of his room and out the front door with his keys and wallet in hand.
This left his parents wondering where he was going at this time of the day and Jun didn't care for she was too busy watching the TV.
It took Davis fifteen minutes to try to find the place and he finally found the address of a building from the card that the man gave him.
He walked in to find it is a training facility with a bunch of equipment lying around, it even had boxing bags and its own boxing ring.
There was even a cage to the side that could be connected to the ring to make it a cage match and it was overwhelming.
Davis looks around and sees kids his age and older training with different people of ages and body builds scattered around.
He soon spotted the man who gave him the card and walks over to him as the man was helping a kid with his punches.
It was then that the man noticed Davis and walked over to him as he wiped the sweat off his forehead and neck.
"I didn't think you would show up boy, I'm so glad you decided to take the offer I gave you. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Raw Revert."
"THE RAW REVERT?! The Undefeated champion who held every title?!"
Davis was floored that a living legend was standing right in front of him, He watched almost all his matches when he was a kid like it was church.
However, when he found out that Raw retired watching people box was not fun anymore. It was then Davis started to get into fights with people because they were badmouthing Raw in front of him.
"Yep, I did win every title and was undefeated, but I gave up the titles after three months so I can win them again to show that I can fight anyone. I gave up fighting though because I lost the drive to continue for no one could be like me. It was then I started to teach kids like you how to box. Also, if kids I teach meet my standards, I enter them in matches at the Jr MMA fighting competition."
Davis' eyes widened as he took this information in, shocking his system because the Jr MMA fighting competition were brutal.
For kids between ages 13 to 20 compete for fame and money for they put their bodies on the line.
Some became really famous for it led them to fight in the real MNA fights with different champions.
This was not like regular boxing for they are put into different types of fights, and thrown in a cage.
That explained what the cage on the other side of the room was for now and it was very interesting.
"Despite how dangerous it sounds, I can handle it; I want to enter the Jr MMA fighting competition. Whenever I saw you fight I wanted to as well."
"You sure you want to do this boy? This is serious competition; you can't half ass your way through this. You put your body at a high risk,"
He stopped talking and looked into Davis' eyes to see Davis was serious and he wasn't going to take no as an answer.
" But if you want to lets see what you got boy. Hey, Chris go to the ring, we got someone who thinks he has what it takes to compete in a Jr MMA fight."
Raw leads Davis to the ring as another boy came, cracking his knuckles and neck loudly to warm up.
He had blood red hair and bright blue eyes, medium sized muscles with some scars on his biceps and legs.
Raw gave him some gloves to put on along with shoes that were both white as he put them on.
Davis took off his shirt off and stretched a bit before the bell rang and the fight began quickly.
As Davis moved forward, he blocked Chris' fast punches which made his bones hurt from the blows.
Davis managed to get a right hook in, but he felt his face stung as Chris barely missed his face, but left a cut.
Davis was holding his own, but this kid was just too fast and strong, and Davis felt his energy drain quickly.
It was then Chris backed up, lowered his arms, and turned to Raw as Davis panted for air as he wobbled a bit.
"Pffft. Really Raw? Are you sure, this is the same kid you watched yesterday take down three people by himself with no cuts on his knuckles? He is such a bitch and completely weak, he can't even last five minutes with me, it must have been a fluke or something. Seriously, why am I wasting my time on such a pussy? You train him to get ready for Jr MMA fight and the next thing you know this kid is on a one way to trip to the hospital."
Davis growled as his anger was taking over like last not and caught Chris with strong right uppercut, who Chris never saw coming.
Chris staggered from the uppercut only to leave himself open. Davis began to unleash punch after punch, switching between his face and body.
Raw was watching at the beginning with some disappointment, but that all changed when he saw Davis lose it and started to fight back.
No not fight, beating Chris to a living hell as Raw figured out that it was Davis' anger that drove him and that if he found a way to maintain that anger.
Training Davis would be a heck of a fighter as 3 minutes of constant beating went by before Raw called the match as Davis stopped.
Davis was left panting as Chris was carried away, his face littered with some blood and bruises, while bruises formed on his chest.
If you listened closely Davis cracked a couple of Chris's ribs as he struggled to breathe deeply as his bruises darkened more.
All the kids and trainers were either shocked, scared, surprised or impressed since Davis just beat one of the five strongest kids they had.
Raw went over to check on Chris and began cleaning up his face while Chris muttered about what an animal Davis was.
Davis really did a number on him for Chris' face was now starting to form a black eye, and the right side of his face was swelling up fast.
Once he cleaned Chris' face up enough, he had another trainer take him to the medical ward to have him checked out.
It was then that he found Davis' walking to him with his shirt back on and the gloves and shoes in his hands.
Davis felt that rush of energy again as he gave both back to Raw as he spoke to Davis who was rubbing the back of his neck.
"I have to say, you are a diamond in the rough boy, you just fought the fourth strongest kid I train here. In 6 months' time, I can have you ready to compete in the Jr MMA fights. We are open to training kids from 3pm to 7pm every day, whenever the kids feel like coming in. So, kid still interested, and what's your name?"
"Damn right I am! Also, the name is Davis. Can't wait to start training here, see you tomorrow Raw."
Davis shook Raw's hand, and Raw showed him his locker while telling Davis what things he needed for training.
Once everything was settled, Davis made his way home and checked his phone to find it was 7 p.m., so he ran home.
When he opened the front door, his parents were sitting at the kitchen table waiting for him with Ken here as well leaning next to the wall.
"Davis where have you been? You just ran out the door without saying where you were going," asked his mother.
"Well the thing is I found this really cool facility where they teach kids how to fight and defend themselves. I want to do this more than soccer!"
Davis didn't want to tell just yet about wanting to compete in the Jr MMA fight they just won't let it happen.
"I don't know Davis, it sounds dangerous, and when would you ever need to defend yourself?"
Once again his mother asked. His father was giving him a stern look, which made him uncomfortable.
"Well I was jumped yesterday after school by three punks, I barely got out alive and this could really help me. Please, mom, dad I really want to train!" He was glad they didn't hear the news report for they went out before it was broadcasted.
"Oh my poor baby! You should told me when you got home! What would have happened if you were knocked out or raped or killed?!"
Cried his mother, she cared about him the most in the family for she knew Davis always got into fights with other kids.
"You could have given us gray hairs young man, but since your serious about this, we'll agree to let you, BUT only if you focus more on your grades get them to improve, your school called to tell us about your poor grades and being kicked off the soccer team. Ken has agreed to help you raise your grades young man. If your grades don't improve we are taking you out of this fighting facility. Now go to your room and we'll call you for dinner!"
His dad was a stern man who took responsibility first and fun later.
Davis smiled as Ken walked with him to his room and they walked in to find DemiVeemon sleeping.
However, something told Davis he was faking it since he did that to eavesdrop on people.
Davis sat the bed while Ken sat in his computer chair with a serious look on his face.
"Davis, I've been following you and I want to help you. I can help by being your manager. I can also help you train, while helping you get your homework done and grades up as long as you focus."
"Of course I appreciate the help Ken, but I don't want the others to find out. I just do not feel like they care about me anymore, so let us keep this between us okay. Besides when I become a famous fight then I will have the last laugh."
Ken laughed at this for it was good to see his best friend acting normal again.
DemiVeemon decide to randomly 'wake up' and jumped onto Davis' head and yawned cutely.
"I want to help too Davis, I heard your conversation and since we're partners, I want to help you become the best fighting machine you can be."
Davis grinned as Ken and DemiVeemon stared discussing Davis' training methods and schedule Plus, much to Davis' agony go over his homework.
