Well, here's another chapter. I'm following on from the last one, but there are other segments for the other OCs who appear here, to give an insight into their characters.
Digimon Outcast
Chapter 3:More Monsters?!
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
-George Bernard Shaw
Brian Fitzgerald
"What do you mean that you're my Digimon partner?" Natalie cried out.
She looked pretty freaked out by the event that had taken place earlier. Then again, if a creature with big teeth had tried to kill you, and a cat like creature had saved you, wouldn't you be pretty freaked out?
I readjusted the way that I was holding Koromon, as he was getting heavy. "If Gatomon is your partner, maybe Koromon is mine?"
"Maybe." Koromon muttered.
Gatomon nodded and smiled. "That's right. I'll explain later, but we need to get out of here, in case more attack."
She was right. Several pedestrians had stopped and stared. One guy had even thrown away a bottle of beer that he had been drinking, probably because he believed that he was hallucinating.
A black limo then pulled up to the curb with two men seated in the driver and passenger seat. The older one in the passenger seat stepped out and walked over to us.
"Ms. Fields, are you alright? We've been waiting for you for quite some time." He said. He then noticed me. "And who would your friend be, miss?"
Natalie smiled in relief. "His name is Brian Fitzgerald, Bentley. He just arrived here from Ireland, so I was going to show him around."
Bentley looked me over, and nodded. "Very well." He turned his attention to Gatomon, who quickly dropped on all fours.
"Meow." She said.
Bentley blinked. "Would this be your cat, Mr. Fitzgerald?"
I quickly nodded, feeling a grin coming on. I'd never been called Mr. Fitzgerald before.
After placing my luggage in the trunk, the four of us got into the back of the limo. Natalie sat at one end near a window, with Koromon and Gatomon in the middle. I sat at the other end, staring out the window at the various shops and buildings that we passed. There certainly were a lot of people out, doing who knows what.
As the limo stopped at a red light, I looked through the window at a strange sight. In front of what looked like a museum, pre teens were chanting, holding signs. They were being led by a young girl, no older than ten, with red, curly hair in some sort of strike.
"What are they protesting about?" I asked aloud.
Natalie looked over at me. "Those strikers? They're protesting about the museum being torn down and rebuilt. It's been there for like fifty years. The people at city hall want to be rebuild in a more modern way, so those kids are striking. The leader of their little posse is Cordelia Sherman. She's about eight years old, I think..."
"Hmmm, I agree that the place shouldn't be torn down, I guess." I replied. "It's not like it's falling apart from old age, right?"
Close to the museum, two girls sat on a low, brick wall, talking. One had long, straight red hair, while the other had brown hair pulled in a ponytail. The redhead had a strange looking dog sitting beside her, and the brunette held a weird looking stuffed animal with long ears in her arms.
"They have Digimon." I heard Gatomon say.
I turned to face her. "For real?"
"Who?" Natalie looked past us at the two girls. "Those are Suzume Sherman and Brandi Boone, these two eighth graders who go to my school."
"They don't seem evil." I said, looking again.
"They're not!" Natalie cried out, as the light turned green and limo began driving. "I'm friends with them, and they come to all of my parties. I've known both of them since I was in the second grade."
"I'm quite certain that they're not evil, but they do have Digimon. A Labramon and Lunamon." Gatomon said.
"Shouldn't we go back and talk to them?" Koromon asked.
Natalie shook her head. "I know where they live, so as soon as we get you guys situated, we can go over and talk with them." She turned to Gatomon. "So, two of my friends have Digimon? Are you certain? Oh, and are you female?"
Gatomon smiled. "Yes to all three of your questions."
Cordelia Sherman
"What do we want?!" I yelled.
"The Museum!" the crowd replied.
I'm Cordelia Sherman, but everyone calls me Cordy. I'm nine years old, and quite serious for my age. Today, I've gathered as many friends as I can to protest at the closure of the old museum in favour of a new one. So far, we've been unheard, but the media is meant to arrive later, and we can spread our message.
"This is good," a voice said. I looked down to see Lopmon, my Digimon.
"Yes, it is. We've got a stronger crowd than yesterday," I replied. "It would just be nice if Natalie would come. Suzume said she would talk about it."
"Well, you can't always win, especially when it comes to the Fields. I mean, they are in favour of the new museum," Lopmon replied.
"I know," I said, shaking my head. "But it doesn't matter. The people will be heard! Save the museum!"
"Save the museum!" the crowd shouted back at me. At least we had string numbers, and weren't causing enough trouble to call the police.
Suzume Sherman
"Save the museum!" the crowd yelled again.
"I guess that Cordy's gathering more support," I said. "Yes, it seems people want to help her," Labramon replied.
I'm Suzume Sherman, and I'm fourteen years old, and older sister to Cordy. She and I have gotten really close since we got back to Australia. And we both have Digimon partners. Of course, we have no idea why they chose us, and no one can tell us anything about Digimon. So, we had to disguise ours, to keep the secret.
"I suppose that Cordy wanted Natalie to come down here?" Brandi asked.
"Of course she did. But Natalie had to go with her Father, and she's got a lot of rules enforced on her," I replied. "Though Cordy might really cause trouble if Natalie were here," Labramon said. I simply nodded, shuddering at the thought.
Brandi Boone
"Yeah, she might hold Natalie to ransom, or something like that," I said, concurring with the idea.
"Cordy can be a real handful in these situations," Lunamon said from my lap.
Hi! I', Brandi Boone, aged fourteen. I'm best friends with Suzume, despite her having the most annoying sister possible. We both wanted to go shopping today, but were dragged down to the museum to help with Cordy's protest, and show our support.
"Hey," Lunamon said, tugging my shirt. "Isn't that Natalie's limo?" she pointed to the long black limo that was pulling off from the red light across the way.
"Looks like it. Though we shouldn't tell Cordy. She'll probably chase after her, and demand that the Fields save the museum," I said with a giggle. We sat there laughing for a while, until Cordy forced us to join her picket line.
'Honk if you support us', makes us look foolish. We're better saying, 'Honk if you feel sorry for us'.
Brian Fitzgerald
I had turned on my laptop once we had passed through the city. I logged into , and looked up more data on the Digimon. There were articles detailing events in Japan, France, New York, and Australia to name a few. They all were related because a 'Digital Monster' was involved.
"Hey, Natalie. Look at this," I said, motioning to the screen. As she studied it, I could tell that she was shocked by the events. "Is this real?" she asked me.
"Yes. It's happened all over the world," I replied. Gatomon slid round to view the screen. "I know all those," she said. Natalie and I gave her incredulous looks. "Really," Gatomon said. "Those events led to the DigiDestined."
"Oh yeah!" Koromon cried, bouncing. "The DigiDestined were always chosen in those events!"
"What? Why?" Natalie asked.
Gatomon shook her head. "No one knows. It might have something to do with the boundaries occasionally weakening between our worlds. But those chosen are special."
"I can guess why I was chosen, because I saved Koromon, and raised his Egg, but what about Natalie?" I asked. Koromon bounced again. "Yeah! Did you save a Digimon?" he asked her.
Natalie shook her head. "Nope. I've never had any contact with Digimon until today. It's a lot to take in."
I noticed that Gatomon was in deep concentration when Natalie said that. Maybe she was trying to figure out why they were partnered.
Soon, the limo drove through fancy gates, and up a circular driveway to a large mansion. It looked very much like the White House in Washington D.C., except it was painted yellow. We stepped out of the car, Koromon and I staring.
"You really live here, Natalie?" Koromon asked.
Natalie nodded. "Yep."
We followed her up the steps and through the white front door. Inside, the front room was big, with a high ceiling, and several paintings. A piano sat in one corner, with an ornamental rug on the floor. Natalie showed us around the huge, gourmet kitchen and living room.
"Well, here we are!" She announced. "Our head chef makes excellent food. Are you okay with veggie burgers, Brian?"
"You're a vegetarian?" I asked, still staring at the shelves piled with fruits, vegetables, and different kinds of seasonings.
Natalie nodded. "I eat fish, but definitely not animals."
"Where are your parents?" Gatomon asked.
"Dad's at a meeting at the airport, while Mum's at a meeting downtown." Natalie replied, looking past us. "When did the weather change from sunny to cloudy?"
The rest of us turned. Sure enough, through a wide window, it was very dark and cloudy.
Gatomon rushed to the glass door that led outside. "I smell a Digimon."
"What?" Natalie cried, looking like she was going to freak out again.
Gatomon went through the door to the huge backyard. "Come on, we can fight it!"
"Gatomon!" Natalie followed.
I looked at Koromon. "Do you think that we should go, too?"
"Yeah!" Koromon hopped out the front door, with me right behind them.
Outside, we stood on a huge patio that over looked a large field containing a pool. The area was fenced around, meaning that this was obviously the Fields' property. In the field, Natalie and Gatomon stood as a large creature walked in front of them. It looked like a T-Rex, with red skin and green stripes.
"I'm Tyrannomon! Have you come to fight me?" It asked, its voice booming.
Natalie just stared. "Not at all!"
Tyrannomon growled. "Too bad! Fire Blast!" A large blast of flames was shot at Natalie.
"Natalie, look out!" Gatomon jumped in front of her, taking the damage.
"Gatomon, no!" Natalie ran to the fallen Digimon, as Tyrannomon approached her again.
I hurried down the steps with Koromon, not knowing how to fight him off. But I had to do something. Apparently, Koromon also didn't know what to do as he jumped up and fired pink bubbles at the red Digimon.
"Stay away from them!" He cried.
Tyrannomon turned to him, looking huge compared to the pink blob with long skinny ears. "You dare face me?"
"Koromon, please don't!" I called.
Something happened, like when Botamon tuned into Koromon. Koromon was now changing shape, into a small, orange dinosaur, with red bracers on his arms.
"Koromon digivolve to...Agumon!" He cried.
Koro-Agumon landed on the ground, grinning. "I'm stronger now."
"Not strong enough for me!" Tyrannomon moved closer to us.
"Pepper Breath!" I watched as Agumon shot out a ball of fire.
"Will we win?" I wondered.

I walked along the forest path, letting the gentle breeze pass me. It was good to have wide open spaces, considering how I had lost everything two years ago. In one freak fire, my parents were killed, and I lost everything that I had held dear. I was lost and alone, so I ran. I ran from society, from my past, even from myself.
"Are you alright Bill?" a voice asked me.
Of course, Renamon. As long as I have you, I'm fine," I replied. It was true. Renamon has become my one and only friend, as she understands the pain and sorrow that I carry. Together, we've been journeying across Australia, trying to forget about out pasts.
"Bill. There's a powerful Digimon nearby," Renamon said, stopping and tensing.
"Are you sure?" I asked her. This was a remote area, just outside Sydney, and no Digimon should even be present.
"Yes. I can feel it. The Digimon is on that estate," Renamon said, pointing to a large house a short distance away.
"That's odd…What would it want there?" I asked. It didn't make sense. There were no other Digimon present in this area. "Let's go Renamon!"
"Right!" With that, we dashed off toward, the estate, intent on finding our mark.
And we end on another cliff-hanger! Thanks to EmeraldCelebi13, who came up with the base of the chapter, and several concept ideas.
Dracomancer6491, I hope that Bill is presented the way you wanted. Everyone can recognise their own OCs I'm sure, so I won't go to the bother of listing them.
Anyway, next chapter will introduce another 2-3 DigiDestined, and the Secret Service finally catches up with Brian!
And I am still accepting suggestions for Teams, and their names. Though it is mainly names right now.
And if anyone is up to it, I will need 'evil' Tamers, and Secret Service agents. Here's the template:
