Alright time for the 3rd chapter of Digital Demon Knight. Do note there will be some differences between the actual episodes of 02 and this story but its fanfiction so of course it would happen. I hope you all enjoy this one.
Chapter 3- Rescue Op in a City of Machines.
Davis's POV
You know I should have known something bad would happen now. After we got back from our meeting with Jaune's group I talked to all the available older Digidestined and asked for some help. I understand they can't make the others change their opinions but with them nearby perhaps TK will be more controlled. This led to them participating more in our Dark Spire missions, the last one of today ended with us having to retreat since "brilliant TK" called for it. I have no doubt security would be increased after we left and all the Guardromon did was walk forward and fire, we simply could have picked them off using the alleyways. Now Kari is trapped in the city and I'm arguing with the others now outside of the city as they plan a suicidal charge.
"What don't you understand about this Davis? We have to go get her." I'm not disagreeing with TK about that but we can't do it alone. "We need to get Jaune's team to help us. Security has probably gone through the roof now and we'll need the firepower they can provide." A look of anger appears on TK's face and I know he's thinking of Devimon. "No, we don't need those Virus-lovers to help us. Come on guys." Yolei and Cody both follow him although Cody looks uneasy with this. Veemon stares up at me.
"So Davis, how could we get ahold of them." I simply hold up my Digivice and stare at the screen. "Look, I'm not stupid and I know you Sovereigns must have had some hand in making these things. Ergo you're listening in on us with them, if you are please get Jaune's team to come help." There's no verbal answer but the fact the screen flashes a few times is encouraging. "Now Veemon we wait and see if they show up." Please show up.
Jaune's POV
It's been four days since we met the newbies and I had my fight with Yang, things have deteriorated between me and the others even further and I've noticed Pyrrha sending jealous looks at Blake. My relationships aren't the only ones suffering through, students have been having outbreaks of anger and jealousy since then as well. It's gotten so bad Combat class had to be cancelled due to excessive violence. I have a theory as to why this is happening and I pray I'm wrong, currently I'm checking the code of Beacon's mainframe to try and see if my theory is true.
"What exactly are you hoping to see Mr. Arc." Ozpin has been supervising me during the process and Impmon is sitting on one of the armrests of the chair I'm in. "It's not what I want to see, it's what I don't want to see." Ozpin nods but he's still lost, I've told him to prepare evacuation protocols just in case I'm right and he was willing to listen. As I'm working my D-power flashes and I grab it. "Azulongmon, what is it?" I'm shocked when another voice is the one to answer.
"Is that you Jaune? Wait these things work as Walkie-Talkies?" How did Davis contact me? You know what never mind that for now. "What's the situation Davis?" A long sigh is heard and Davis then explains. "One of my team got trapped in enemy territory, the others have gone to rescue her and I know we won't have the fire power for this… oh crap, they just blew a hole in the wall. Yah so any help you can send would be much appreciated." I resist the urge to slam my head at the newbies stupidity, going back into enemy territory you just left and expecting less resistance is so stupid. "I got a message telling me Takato, Henry, and Rika are busy today so only me and Blake can come help." I stare at Ozpin and he nods. "Yah the two of us can come help. I should warn you that we'll have a LadyDevimon with us this time, should I expect another attack?" I'm impressed with how fast Blackgatomon and Blake have bonded, it took me and Impmon forever to work together. Biomerging is still beyond them though, nothing time probably won't fix. For some reason though Blake keeps blushing whenever she's near me and BlackGatomon sends her a look. Wonder what that's about. A pause occurs before Davis answers.
"Kari and Gatomon might actually be the problem this time, they had a bad run in with one." Impmon face palms and just shakes his head. "Got it Goggle-head Jr, we'll get there soon." Impmon then hops off and goes to look for Blake and BlackGatomon. I close out of the mainframe before heading to do the same before Ozpin stops me. "Mr. Arc I need to know what could be affecting my students." The tone in his voice tells me this isn't optional." I turn to face him and make sure he understands just how big a threat this could be.
"I think some Mega-level digimon are causing these mood swings, the two that are most likely are not the kind of foes I want to fight ever. Levimon, Digital Demon Lord of Envy and Daemon Digital Demon Lord of Wrath. If a giant red crocodile appears and/or a red hooded demon evacuate as quickly as possible, also look for any reports of this kind of activity happening elsewhere if you could please." Ozpin actually gains a look of worry but nods in response and I rush off to find Blake. I stop by my locker and grab my gear before heading to the courtyard, Blake and I agreed to meet here if something ever came up and we weren't together. When I arrive Impmon, Blake, and BlackGatomon are waiting for me.
Blake's POV- a few minutes earlier
"BlackGatomon, what do you have against me?" my Digipartner stares up at me from her little bed we made her with an innocent look in her eyes. "Whatever are you talking about Blake?" her tone is dripping with honey. I hold up my copy of the first volume of Ninjas of Love that BlackGatomon had earlier, I'm so glad my team is at the library right now. "You replaced the two main character's names with mine and Jaune's. You keep doing this kind of stuff, either your trying to make a fake love letter from me or your trying to push us together literally. Why are you so persistent on the two of us getting together?" BlackGatomon simply smirks and puts her hands on her hips. "I simply hate how you're denying what you feel Blake. I'm a full believer in never holding back your emotions." I'll say, whenever she talks to Impmon it usually involves flirting.
"How many times do I have to say it, there is nothing between me and Jaune." BlackGatomon gives me a stare that conveys her disbelief. "Really Blake, you actually believe that. The guy always has a smile when he sees you and you come out of your shell somewhat for him." I refuse to look at her as I know she's right. He really does help drag me out of my shell. "Just let it go, it wouldn't work out between us." At this point BlackGatomon has hopped up on my bed and is looking at me with concern. "And why can't it work out for you two." I just point at my bow, I know Jaune could care less about me being a faunus but I know it wouldn't work out.
"My past shoved to the side and the people from it that could come after Jaune to get to me, he's the only son of a powerful family. Despite his less than stellar relationship with them he is still the one that will carry on the Arc name and that means his family probably has some girl already picked out for him. She'll be a wealthy, well-connected human that's probably gorgeous, someone Jaune will eventually get use to and settle down with. I'm simply a Faunus from the streets that has a less then desirable past, better I don't try to fly too high so I can avoid the sun's burn." I won't lie and say I haven't entertained the notion of dating Jaune but he probably doesn't return the interest, otherwise he would have made his interest known by now.
"You know for a smart girl you say the stupidest things sometimes, do you honestly think Jaune cares about any of that? The answer is obviously no, honestly you're such a scaredy cat." I send a glare her way. Before I can continue however a knock is heard. "Hey someone get the doorknob I can't reach it." I get up and open the door to let Impmon in, as soon as I do BlackGatomon pounces on him knocking him to the ground. "Ah, you just couldn't stay away, could you Impmon." Impmon blushes and struggles loose. "Hey, try to control yourself for now BGmon." Once he has BlackGatomon off him he brushes himself off and looks at me. "We just got a call from Davis, they need help and we're the only ones who can go now." Nodding and rushing to my locker I grab Gambol Shroud and head to the courtyard where Jaune will meet us. On the way however I run into Sun.
"Hey there Blake. So I was wondering if you were free tomorrow cause if you are I was thinking we could go out." I nearly said no but then thought about it, this could help with BlackGatomon's nagging. "Sure Sun, I'll contact you later but I got to go do something right now." I rush past him and the Digimon follow. When I look back Impmon has a lost look in his eyes, Jaune had the same one when he first met Sun as well. "You okay Impmon?" Impmon shakes his head and then focus returns to his eyes. "Sorry, I'm not a fan of monkey's and dogs." There's a story there for later. We soon arrive at the courtyard and Jaune come's running up a few minutes later.
Jaune's POV
"Everyone ready to go?" the others confirm they are and we open a portal, a new function I put on our scrolls, to Davis's location. When we come out we find Davis and Veemon in a dessert with a domed city in front of us. "Hey guys, glad you were willing to help out." Blake replies first. "So any ideas on what we're facing?" Davis shakes his head and brings his hands up to his shoulders. "The only thing I know for certain is a whole bunch of Guardromon." Guardromon huh, luckily I've got experience with that species. "Alright let's go, Davis you guide us the best you can." Nodding we head through some doors the newbies blew wide open.
"Blake take to the ledges and be ready to shoot, Davis where are the Dark Rings generally located on the Guardromon." Davis answers while Blake throw Gambol Shroud and prepares to climb with BlackGatomon climbing onto Blake's shoulder. "They've all been on their chests around that porthole." Before Blake climbs I grab her shoulder. "Be careful Blake, I don't want to have to take you back injured." Blake smiles at me before heading up to the ledge. I turn to follow Davis and we make our way to the sounds of fighting. We soon find Guardromon coming at us while Blake is fighting on the ledge to take out their snipers. "Davis you ready?" he sends a smirk my way. "Always."
Impmon digivolve to Devimon
BlackGatomon digivolve to LadyDevimon
Veemon armor digivolve to Flamedramon
Once all three have reached a higher level the battle starts turning in our favor. Devimon and Ladydevimon have taken to the sky and are sniping the Dark Rings while Flamedramon is using his Fire Rocket technique to fight closer to the Guardromon. "Grenade Destroyer" a bunch of missiles with whistles are sent flying at us so I draw Crocea Mors and put on my shield and get in front of Davis, the blast sends me skidding back but my shield held.
"Devimon let's wrap this up quick. Digimodify WarGreymon's Dramon Destroyers." Yellow claws appear around Devimon's hands and he rushes the remaining Guardromon. "All right, time to cut you tin can's down to size." Using the new weapon Devimon cuts through all the projectiles sent his way and then gets the Dark Rings off the Digimon. Soon all of the Guardromon are free and we're moving on to the next area. When we arrive at the next site we find that Kari girl being choked by an Andromon while the other Digimon are down for the count and their partners are pleading with the Andromon to stop.
"KARI! Flamedramon get her loose." Flamedramon leaps into the air and surrounds himself with fire. "Flaming Fist." He barrels towards Andromon who drops Kari and releases his blade. "Lightning Blade." Flamedramon is sent flying while TK grabs Kari and pulls her away from the Andromon, by the time Flamedramon lands he's back in rookie stage as Veemon. Davis runs to Veemon's side "Hey Veemon, you okay?" Veemon weakly nods. "Yah but you're kneeling on my tail." Davis jumps back and rubs the back of his head. The Andromon then faces the other newbies and his chest opens up. "Gatling Attack!" Machine gun fire head towards the others and they have no way to protect themselves.
Blake's voice then rings out. "Digimodify WarGreymon's Brave Shield." LadyDevimonswoops down in front of them and uses the shield to block the attack. "Sorry but I can't afford to look bad in front of my man." I resist the urge to laugh at the blush on Devimon's face. Turning his attention back to us Andromon runs at me with his blade back out. Using my shield to block and I send Crocea Mors at his neck where the Dark Ring is located but the ring withstands the blow. "What the heck?" Crocea Mors has cut through Grimm armor before and this ring resists it. "Guys this one must have Chrome Digizoid in it." That stuff is practically indestructible.
"P…please st…stop me." The Andromon seems to be fighting the ring but it's clear he can't break fully free of its control. "I… I don't wa…want to hurt my frie …nds. Destroy me." Cries ring out from the others except for Blake and Davis, they both realize this is what he wants. I look at him and nod. "Got it Andromon. DEVIMON SEND HIM OUT WITH A BANG!" Devimon nods with a solemn look on his face. "There's only one attack worthy of taking out someone like you Andromon, an attack given to me by a fallen comrade." He pulls his fist back and orange flames appear on it. "It was an honor facing someone like you Andromon, FIST OF THE BEAST KING!" Punching forward a large blast of flames shaped like a Lion's head shoots forth.
"NO DON"T!" Kari runs at Andromon but Davis stops her. "Kari it's what he wants, besides you said Digimon can be reborn right." Well that's news to me. The blast hits Andromon and he's consumed by the flames, he gets one last message out before he's bursts into data. "Thank you." With that his data goes flying off and Kari drops to her knees. Devimon is shaking in anger. "I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING US YOU FAKE EMPEROR SO YOU LISTEN HERE, PRAY I NEVER FIND YOU OR I'LL MAKE YOU BEG FOR DEATH." Devimon then goes back to Impmon and walks up to me before hopping on my shoulder with a small frown on his face.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!? WE COULD HAVE SAVED HIM!" I turn to see Kari yelling at us, a send a glare her way. Couldn't she see that's what Andromon wanted? "I did what Andromon wanted so lay off. We're out of here Davis, I'll leave the rest to you." All that's left should be the Control Spire so we can head back. Blake walks up to my side carrying BlackGatomon and I open a portal back. Once on the other side Impmon speaks up. "Hey Jaune can we go work off some of my steam in the training room?" I understand his anger, having to do something like that. I turn to Blake before we go.
"So we still on for training tomorrow Blake?" A slight frown appears on her face at that. "Sorry Jaune but I kinda got a date with Sun." Oh, looks like I was too late. "Okay Blake, have a good time. Come on Impmon we got some bots to bash." I walk off and head to the training room. Impmon then taps me on the head. "Partner I can feel a lot of negative emotions coming out of you." Sometimes I hate that link between us. "It's nothing Impmon, just realizing I really do stink at anything involving dating." I should have asked her out earlier but I was too scared of ruining our friendship. "Let's just go shoot something as Beelzemon." I wonder if I can set the bots to look like Sun, childish yes but it will alleviate some frustration.
Hope you all liked this chapter, for those of you who are upset by the changes from the original episode remember its fanfiction.
