Digimon Future
Chapter 3: Yuzen and Dodecamon! VS Dr. Zero
Narration: After meeting the mysterious Digimon known as Dodecamon, Yuzen has found himself in a state of confusion as he has suddenly decided to find the missing Digimon after coming into contact with its Digivice.
"I've got to leave." Yuzen declared. "Leave to where?" Roseo asked his brother. "To go save that Dodecamon." Yuzen answered to the pink-haired lad's astonishment.
"What are you talking about?" Roseo asked, confused. "I mean you hate Digimon so why do you want to save that random one we encountered?" Roseo added along. "I'm not sure honestly. As soon as I picked up this device I started to hear its voice and images started to flow into my head." Yuzen answered to the cherry-haired man. "Besides as much as I dislike Digimon this thing right here belongs to that guy and I have to return it to it." Yuzen declared as Roseo let out a smile.
"Looks like he's not so dumb after all." Roseo thought to himself.
"Hey let me out of here, you jerk!" Dodecamon yelled. "A lowly Digimon like you has no right to speak in a tone like that to me!" Dr. Zero shouted in response. "You should consider yourself fortunate that I didn't kill you as soon as I captured you." Dr. Zero told the Digimon. "Hah like an old man like you could do something like that!" Dodecamon stated, clearly viewing the doctor as nothing but a joke. "It's typical for you bastard Digimon to view yourselves so highly. But I'm going to change that." Dr. Zero declared as he once again left the room. "Damn it, where's my Digivice?" Dodecamon thought to himself.
"So anyways I'm taking this guy out of his town." Yuzen told his brother as he picked up the Digimon.
"Of course, I forgot it back at their house." Dodecamon stated as he recalled what had previously happened. "It's that Yuzen guy's fault!" Dodecamon thought to itself as it continued to sit in its cage.
"I'm off." Yuzen declared as he put the Digivice and crystal back into the blue bag and headed out of the door.
"Hold on!" Roseo shouted while the light blue-haired lad looked back. "What is it?" Yuzen asked his brother. "Do you even know where Dodecamon is?" Roseo asked. "No, but I do know that he couldn't have gotten very far. After all sooner or later it'll realize that it left behind its belongings and it'll try to come back into the village to get them back." Yuzen replied as he began to walk again. "Hold on, but you said that you were going to save it. So doesn't that mean that it was kidnapped?" Roseo asked.
"Honestly I have no idea. Images came into my head that showed me that Dodecamon was stuck in a cage but I'm not sure whether that was my imagination or not." Yuzen told his brother. "Eh? That's ridiculous, for all you know that Dodecamon guy could already be on his way back here and if that is the case and you head out than you could end up missing it." Roseo told his brother. "I'll take my chances. Whether he's safe and on his way or not doesn't mean a thing, I just need to get these damn images out of my head." Yuzen declared.
"*sigh* Well I can't stop you so just go ahead." Roseo stated as Yuzen proceeded to leave the house.
"I should be careful for where I search. If I'm too reckless then the other villagers might find out about this and I can't afford to let them go crazy. Finding out that there's a Digimon in the area would rile them all up and there would be a riot for sure." Yuzen thought to himself as he walked through the streets.
On the opposite side of the path that he was walking on, a group of children played kickball with each other. Yuzen then looked over at the children and noticed how happy they all were playing their game with each other. "Hahahaha! I made a point!" "No fair, I just slipped!" "Stop making excuses!" the children happily talked to each other as they played their games. Yuzen then looked in front of him as he saw a man and woman playing chess with each other as a group intensely looked on at their game. "Checkmate!" the woman joyfully declared. "Damn it and I was so close this time too!" the man complained about his defeat as the crowd happily laughed with each other.
"What's up with these guys? They're so darn happy even though they know how terrible this world is." Yuzen pondered on to himself as he looked on in disbelief at how cheerful the villagers were. "They really are something. *sigh* How I came from a village with such happy go lucky people I'll never know." Yuzen stated as he continued on his way.
"What the hell is going on?" Roseo thought to himself while he sat back down on his recliner. "I mean I heard that Digimon used to choose their partners back then ages ago but why in the world would something like that happen now?" Roseo wondered out loud. "This isn't the sort of age where Digimon just cheerfully look for humans to ally themselves with." Roseo stated as he questioned the events that were transpiring around him.
"He isn't here?" Yuzen stated out loud while he had finally arrived to the same location where he had last seen Dodecamon.
"Figures, it was obvious that it wouldn't be here yet I still insisted on coming here anyway." Yuzen thought to himself in annoyance. "Where can that idiot Digimon be?" Yuzen muttered as he looked at the bag that contained the Digivice and crystal. "You sure are a persistent bastard, huh?" Dr. Zero snickered as he walked back into the room where he held Dodecamon captive. "Stop messing around, you crazy old man. Let me out of here now!" Dodecamon demanded. "Why would I do that?" Dr. Zero queried to the Digimon. "Cause the longer you keep me in here the harder the beat down I'm going to give you when I escape!" Dodecamon answered. "I see, well you're never going to get out." Dr. Zero declared.
"What? What do you mean you crazy geezer?" Dodecamon asked the doctor.
"You Digimon are so full of yourselves. You always have been." Dr. Zero muttered.
"You never once thought about a human obtaining the strength to crush you all and that is your greatest mistake." Dr. Zero added along.
"I don't care about your sob story! I have nothing to do with anything the other Digimon have done so I have no reason to be stuck in here." Dodecamon told the old man. "Shut your mouth, you worthless swine. Just being a Digimon is enough of a sin itself. Besides I don't give a damn about whatever the Digimon did to this world." the old man maliciously declared. "What do you mean?" Dodecamon asked in confusion.
"You aren't worthy of a response." Dr. Zero declared as he snapped his fingers.
From behind him appeared a strange doorway that began to open up. "No way." Dodecamon muttered in disbelief.
Elsewhere Yuzen continued his search for Dodecamon as he aimlessly walked around the village. "I'm not getting anywhere by just randomly walking around the village." Yuzen thought to himself. "If things keep on like this then I won't find that thing." he added along. Suddenly the image of Dodecamon being trapped in a cage had once again filled Yuzen's head.
"Not this again." the light blue-haired lad expressed out loud in annoyance of these recurring images.
"I guess I'll head down here." Yuzen declared as he continued his search. As the lad continued walking the Digivice inside the blue bag began to glow. "What's going on?" Yuzen asked himself as he opened up the bag and looked at the strange device. "I get it now, I can use this thing to locate Dodecamon." Yuzen stated as he now used the device to search for the digital creature.
"You crazy old man, just what in the world could possibly drive you to do something so insane?" Dodecamon asked Dr. Zero in response to what he had shown the Digimon just recently. "My hatred for you Digimon is reason enough for me to do what I want." Dr. Zero maliciously answered. "This isn't about being against the Digimon or even being a human, you're just a selfish old geezer who thinks too highly of himself." Dodecamon declared.
"Shut your mouth, you trash." Zero retorted as he pressed a button as Dodecamon's cage was engulfed in a cloak of electricity while the Digimon was viciously zapped.
"AHHH!" Dodecamon wailed. "W…what was that? How in the world does a normal weapon from a human have the ability to actually injure me?" Dodecamon asked the sinister old man. "I already told you, I've worked for decades in hopes of surpassing you Digimon and I can finally commence my operation after I use you as a test subject." the old man replied as he let out a menacing laugh. "Damn it, I'm in more trouble than I expected to be. If he gets his way then I'll be done for and it's all that stupid Yuzen's fault." Dodecamon thought to himself as the image of Yuzen looking for him appeared in his head.
"What was that?" Dodecamon muttered to himself before realizing that Yuzen had its Digivice. "He's got my Digivice!?" Dodecamon shouted out loud.
"What was that?" Zero asked the Digimon. "You aren't worthy of a response." Dodecamon snidely answered, echoing the Doctor's previous statement, before being electrocuted once more. "Alright I've got to think. Who in this village is crazy enough to take a Digimon hostage?" Yuzen asked himself as he ran through the streets.
"I'm Dr. Zero, the man who'll destroy the Digimon!" the old man declared. "Of course, it was the freak doctor." Yuzen declared out loud as he began to run over to where he had last met the old man.
"Yuzen should be fine, at least as long as he doesn't end up confronting another Digimon." Roseo thought to himself as he heard someone knocking on the door. "Come in." Roseo declared while the door was opened. "Hey Roseo, it's been a while." Maple stated as she walked into the house. "Maple!? What are you doing here?" asked the surprised pink-haired lad as he became slightly flustered at the lass' appearance. "No reason, I just worry about you brothers every now and then." Maple answered. "I see, well there's no need to do that. After all I'm more than strong enough to protect myself and Yuzen on my own." Roseo confidently told the blonde lass while he calmed down. "Oh, well just make sure that you never forget that there are always people to support you." Maple told the lad. "Don't worry I already learned better than to do that." Roseo chuckled. "After all I have to make it up to him as well." Roseo solemnly thought to himself as he and Maple continued their conversation.
An hour had eventually passed as Dr. Zero had once again entered the room.
"Your time is finally up." Zero declared. "Yeah right, if you could take me out then you would have done it hours ago." Dodecamon replied.
"You're right, but where's the rush in taking you out when I could just enjoy seeing you squirm?" the old man asked in response. "Besides I have nothing to worry about considering I spent the last few years making everyone think I was nothing more than a crazy old man." Dr. Zero added along. "It was an act?" Dodecamon asked. "Damn you!" Dr. Zero angrily retorted.
"My skill is without equal, I am…." "Hey Dodecamon! Where are you?" Yuzen asked as he suddenly walked into the room.
"Yuzen!" Dodecamon happily exclaimed as Dr. Zero looked on in shock. "Damn it I was so confident that no one would seek me out that I never built any defenses in my hideout." Dr. Zero thought to himself in anger.
"Oh it's just the quack." Yuzen nonchalantly muttered. "I'm not a quack!" Dr. Zero retorted.
"Whatever you say. So anyway let go of that dumb Digimon already, you won't get anything out of keeping it." Yuzen told the old man. "Hey bastard boy, why are you saying something like that? I thought you hated Digimon and wanted to see them perish." Dr. Zero questioned the light blue-haired lad. "Don't misunderstand I do dislike Digimon but this is an occasion where I have to help that guy out." Yuzen replied. "Stop talking and get me out of here!" Dodecamon shouted. "Fine, so anyway do you mind opening up the cage?" Yuzen asked the devious old man. "Don't give me that crap, I won't let a brat barge in here and tell me what to do!" Dr. Zero declared as he pressed a red button on his computer.
Suddenly from behind him appeared a doorway. "Oh no, hurry get me out of here!" Dodecamon exclaimed. "What's going on?" Yuzen asked the Digimon. "That freaky old geezer's got a scary trump card." Dodecamon answered as the light blue-haired lad looked on in confusion.
From behind Dr. Zero appeared twelve machines of varying designs.
The first two were identical machines that resembled a large Dinosaur-like Digimon. It had various sharp claws, fangs and horns along with various blue stripe-like patterns all over its body with a large tail. The next two resembled a Blue Dragon Man-like Digimon. It had silver armor all over its body that all had flame-like patterns on them and along with that it had large sharp claws on both its palms and feet along with a sharp horn on its head with a large tail.
Then there was a pair of machines that resembled a Mythical Dragon-like Digimon. It was mostly silver with a few shades of blue all over its body along with having white wings and sharp claws on its palms and feet. It also had a VX symbol on its chest along with blades on its knuckles and a large horn on its head and a large tail. The two machines that stood next to their left were reminiscent of a Dark Dragon-like Digimon. It was large and had a silver color scheme along with black markings all over its body. Along with that it had white hair-like fur on the back of its head along with sharp claws with black tips and a long tail with black markings on it.
The next pair of machines bared a resemblance to the first pair but with noticeable differences. It had an altered skin on its head with various markings along with altered horns, was slightly better built and had horns on both of its shoulders along with smaller claws along with a long tail. The final pair resembled an armored Dragon Man-like Digimon with a V-shaped head. It had an armor-like body with various differently patterned body parts and unlike the others they had no noticeable tail.
"W…What are those things?" Yuzen asked in shock. 'They're androids built in the shape of Digimon." Dr. Zero smirked.
"A…androids? Why in the world would you built replicas of something you hate so much?" Yuzen asked as the old man simply smirked.
"The only way to take out Digimon is by replicating their power and using it to create a new weapon." Dr. Zero declared. "It's impossible for worthless people like you to ever surpass Digimon but what separates me from you fools is that I surpass the standards of humans!" Dr. Zero added along. "You're insane." Yuzen muttered in disgust. "Only fools criticize what they cannot understand." Dr. Zero retorted. "Is that so? Well I guess that applies to you as well." Yuzen replied.
"Enough talk. Attack them, my minions!" Dr. Zero ordered the machines as they marched at the light blue-haired lad.
"Damn it." Yuzen muttered as he began to run away. "Don't run you coward!" Dodecamon shouted. "It's only natural, these androids are just as powerful as their Digimon counterparts, who are all at Champion level at least." Dr. Zero smirked. "This is bad, he's in trouble if he can't help me out of here." Dodecamon thought to himself.
One of the machines then jumped at Yuzen who had quickly managed to dodge it as another machine unleashed a Rocket Fist. "Oh man. These guys are dangerous." Yuzen said out loud as another of the machines unleashed a beam at the light blue-haired lad. Yuzen quickly dodged the beam while a large portion of the cave was blown up as a result of the beam.
"That was close." Yuzen expressed in slight fear. "Hey watch out! That brat isn't worth any special attacks!" Zero shouted.
"Cocky old man." Yuzen muttered as he avoided another of the attack from the machines. "He doesn't have a chance, if things keep on like this then he'll die." Dodecamon thought to itself. "Hey idiot Digimon! How do I take care of these troublesome Digimon?" Yuzen asked as he continued to run away from the machines. "I'm not sure, the equivalent of a single Champion level Digimon can annihilate an entire town within minutes and with twelve of them dominating a nation would be a breeze….Don't call me dumb!" Dodecamon shouted at the light blue-haired lad.
"Syhahaha! You little punks don't have a chance." Zero arrogantly declared as he merely looked on at Yuzen's struggle.
"Hey, you can tell me a strategy to beat them any time now!" Yuzen exclaimed as he continued to avoid the twelve machines. "Hold on, they're based off of Digimon whose skill are based around Flame attacks so that means….Yuzen we gotta create bigger flames to burn out their flames!" Dodecamon shouted. "That's not how it works!" Yuzen retorted. "Hold on, they may be based off of Digimon whose elemental attacks are of the Flame typing but that doesn't mean they were built to withstand being burnt to ashes by their own attacks." Yuzen thought to himself as he came up with an idea.
"Hey rip-off Digimon, show me what you've got!" Yuzen declared as one of the Digimon shot out a flaming fist at the light blue-haired lad.
"Perfect." Yuzen muttered as he dodged the fist which ended up setting another machine on fire. "I get it, they may be Digimon who use Fire attacks but that doesn't change the fact that they're just rip-offs who can't endure those type of flames." Dodecamon expressed in amazement.
"Is that so?" Dr. Zero snickered as the machine emerged from the flames unharmed. "What? Impossible!" Yuzen shouted in disbelief.
"Snot nosed brat, do you honestly think I didn't ensure that they could withstand fire attacks?" Zero asked. "Oh man, now we're in trouble." Yuzen thought to himself. "If this keeps up, hold on." Dodecamon muttered to itself before coming up with a plan. "How am I supposed to take these things down?" Yuzen thought to himself as the dozen machines stared him down.
"Hey Yuzen, I got an idea!" Dodecamon shouted. "Look for the last time, creating bigger flames will not burn them out!" Yuzen stated.
"Not that, you still got my Digivice right?" Dodecamon asked the light blue-haired lad. "Digivice?" Dr. Zero mumbled in shock. "Uh...yeah I do." Yuzen answered.
"Great, so take it out and place the crystal with the explosion symbol on the screen!" Dodecamon shouted. "F…Fine." Yuzen replied as he hesitantly took out the Digivice along with the crystal. "What?...Don't let him do it!" Dr. Zero shouted at his machines. "Place the crystal on the screen." Yuzen muttered to himself as he placed the crystal on the screen of the Digivice while one of the machines launched a rocket fist at the light blue-haired lad. "What's going on?" Yuzen muttered in astonishment as a silver force field appeared around him, which protected him from the fist. "Impossible." Dr. Zero muttered in shock. "Hey old geezer, I should warn you that now that Yuzen's done that you've lost this battle." Dodecamon smirked as it began to glow a red-orange color. The cage he was contained in eventually broke as he was engulfed in an aura of red-orange flames.
"This…this is…Divinity Digivolution: Flame Form." Yuzen muttered to himself in disbelief as Dr. Zero fearfully looked on as Dodecamon began to Digivolve.
As the aura disappeared Dodecamon had taken on a new form. It had now acquired a mostly flame color scheme. It had grown slightly taller as its horn, claws and fangs had grown in size as well. At the tips of the red-orange horn on its head and two on its cheeks were black flame-like patterns. It had acquired armor like pads on its shoulders and knees which were of a red-orange color and had various black and red colored patterns on this new armor like pads with horns protruding from the center of both of its knees. It now had two clawed toes as opposed to its previous one. The markings on its face had remained mostly the same but had taken a new coloring scheme which consisted of red, black and orange coloring schemes that had replaced its previous coloring scheme. It's tail had also taken a more slender shape as it now had a flame like color scheme with black patterns and three black horns protruding from the tip of its tail, which was of a red coloring. It had a white colored stomach which was decorated with various flame like designs as in the middle of its chest appeared the crystal which appeared to be fused into its body.
"W….what is that?" Dr. Zero asked in astonishment.
"It's called Dodecamon: Flame Form. Not exactly a creative name or something exciting but whatever." Yuzen casually answered, seemingly being unfazed by the danger he was still in. "It's payback time." Dodecamon excitingly declared. "Damn you." Zero angrily cursed the duo. "So what exactly can you do? Shoot laser beams or something?" Yuzen asked. "My abilities are specifically in my name you idiot!" Dodecamon yelled.
"What so just typical fire powers? That's lame." Yuzen told the Digimon as the duo began to bicker.
"They're mocking me….Attack them!" Dr. Zero commanded as his robots attacked the duo. "Well just show off whatever you can do and get this over with." Yuzen told the Digimon. "Explosive Wave!" Dodecamon shouted as it waved its tail in the direction of the robots. Suddenly a burst of flames engulfed a trio of the robots who were instantly destroyed by the attack.
"N…No way." Zero muttered in disbelief. "I see, so I guess that gun's bullet really wouldn't have affected you anyway." Yuzen expressed.
"You're still on about that!?" the evolved Dodecamon asked in annoyance.
"So anyways, just wipe the floor with the rest of them." Yuzen ordered the Digimon. "Stop ordering me around, you dork!" Dodecamon shouted as one of the machines shot out a Rocket Fist at it while it argued with the light blue-haired lad. In response it quickly turned around as it shot out a stream of red flames which quickly then exploded on contact with the fist and ended up damaging large amount of the machines. "It shouldn't be able to do that, those androids are based off of the pre-forms of five those six monsters." Dr. Zero thought to himself.
"What do you call that one?" Yuzen asked the Digimon. "It's called Destructive Flameshot." Dodecamon answered.
"Interesting, so how many moves do you have?" Yuzen asked the evolved Digimon, who casually blew up three more androids. "Well aside from those two moves I haven't created any new attacks just yet." Dodecamon answered. "I get it, so how about you wrap this up soon? I'm getting bored." Yuzen told the Digimon.
"I won't let you worthless simpletons get in my way!" Dr. Zero declared as he pressed another button as the arms of the remaining androids shifted into missile launchers. "So you should really get to finishing these guys off now." Yuzen told the evolved fire attribute Digimon. "Well this is it." Dodecamon declared as it placed both of its arms forward while it then clapped them together.
"Don't let it do anything, attack!" Dr. Zero yelled as the robots shot out their missiles at the duo.
"Time for a new move, Explosive….Burning Shot!" Dodecamon shouted out loud as its arms where engulfed in flames while it charged right through the missiles and blitzed right past the remaining androids as they were all blow up from its new attack. "I...Impossible!" Dr. Zero shouted in disbelief. "Well I guess this is our victory." Yuzen told the old man.
"I'll never lose to trash like you." Dr. Zero angrily muttered as he pressed one last button. Due to that from the ground emerged a large black orb.
"W…what is that?" Yuzen asked in confusion. "I'd rather die at my own hands than be beaten by you fools." Dr. Zero snickered. "Shut up, you old man!" Dodecamon shouted as it blasted the orb with a stream of red flames. "That was a bomb, wasn't it?" Yuzen muttered to himself as he and Dr. Zero looked on in dismay.
"Oops." Dodecamon expressed as the cave was engulfed in an explosion.
"Roseo, look!" Maple exclaimed as she looked out of the window and saw smoke coming from the direction where the lab was. "Please don't tell me that's where Yuzen is." Roseo expressed in concern for his brother's safety. "You idiot Digimon." Yuzen muttered as he emerged from the rubble of the destroyed lab. "Shut up, you should be glad that in my Flame Mode that I'm immune to explosions." Dodecamon told the lad, having reverted to its normal form.
"Whatever, but do you think that quack doctor survived?" Yuzen asked the Digimon.
"Doubt it, after all that was my attack." Dodecamon boastfully declared as the duo lied in the rubble. "It doesn't matter anyway, come on let's go back to my house. If we stay out here we'll attract the attention of the other villagers." Yuzen expressed as he and the Digimon fled from the area. "Fine by me after all now we're partners!" Dodecamon declared. "No we aren't." Yuzen retorted in annoyance.
Elsewhere in a distant area was a girl who sat in a cafe. The silver-haired girl solemnly sat in the corner as she then peaked into her bag. "The fun's just getting started." the girl let out a smile as she took a sip from her drink.
