Chapter 7: The Dimension of Data
My name is Suzie Wong. I'm about to be 8 years old soon. My partner Digimon is Lopmon. Henry is my older brother, and I have another big brother and sister. I am the youngest, so everyone looks down to me. Trust me, its not easy being youngest! Maybe you're also a youngest sibling. I bet you know how hard it is.
We were going to our relative's house. Mom told Henry to take care of me. Why doesn't she realize that I'm old enough to take care of myself? Everyone looks down to me. We were going to the station.
"When do you think the next Deva will attack?" Terriermon asked everyone. My name is Lopmon and I'm Suzie's Digimon partner. I'm a lot like Terriermon and I have three horns instead like the Devas.
"They could attack at any time." I said. I had been one of the Devas at a time so everyone thought I knew them well.
"We already know that. I can't believe Kumbhiramon could do all of that." Henry said to himself while pacing.
"Why is everyone so depressed?" I asked. Henry was really annoyed with me. He always said that I play with Lopmon's ears. Does he ever think about how he treats himself? Anyway, I didn't know why he was so depressed all of the time.
"Did you hear that?" Terriermon asked. He was suddenly looking all around us for a sign of danger.
"Yes, I heard it to." I said. Henry and Susie had heard nothing, since Digimon had heightened senses.
"What is it?" Henry asked and he was getting worried.
"There are Digimon near here." Terriermon and I said at once. All Digimon could sense if there were other Digimon nearby. By how I felt they were really strong.
"Where?" Henry asked. I said,
"It's hard to tell over all of these other noises, but I think its coming from under us." Terriermon said.
"It's moving!" I suddenly said. It was.
"Let's follow it!" Henry said. They all started to run behind Lopmon, but I didn't know much of what was happening. After all, why are we running?
"Why are we running?" I asked.
"Susie, this isn't the time." Henry said. Henry never tells me anything when I ask. Lopmon and Terriermon had managed to get ahead of us, since they were small and could walk under people. When Henry and I finally managed to reach them, they had stopped.
"It got away…" I said. The thing had sped up all of a sudden and disappeared.
"What do you mean by 'it got away'?" Henry asked.
"We were finally getting near it, when its noise got fainter and fainter. Finally, we couldn't hear it at all." Terriermon said.
"That's weird." Henry said. Terriermon got onto his usual position, which was on top of Henry's head. Sometimes, he would go on Henry's shoulder and cling onto him by using his ear. He would wrap it around his neck.
Susie however was too small to let me ride on her. So, I just walked along with her. As you can imagine, as we went towards the subway, we attracted a lot of funny looks. This usually happens when we are outside. We helped defeat the D-Reaper, so why were people still afraid of us?
Finally, when we asked the guy in the counter if Digimon needed tickets, he looked terrified and said yes. When we finally boarded the train, everyone went to the opposite sides of the train. Susie was very happy about this.
"Hooray! We can sit down!" she said.
"This must be how the Ellimist felt…" Henry said as he and Terriermon sat down. The rest of the train ride was the same, whenever people came; they always scurried to the side. Soon, Susie, Terriermon, and I fell asleep. Henry was also getting drowsy. Soon, their stop was near. Henry was about to wake up the others when Terriermon and I woke up by ourselves.
"A Digimon is near." Terriermon said. I agreed with him.
"And it's the same one that we heard today." I said.
"What?" Henry said. The commotion woke up Susie. We all got out when their stop came at the moment.
"It's gone." Terriermon said. I was wondering who it was.
"How is it disappearing so often?" Henry asked Terriermon. Even Susie was worried, because now she knew what was happening. She asked,
"Is it following us?"
"Following us?" everyone asked together.
"Well, it's only coming where we are going." I said. I did have a point.
"That could be possible." Henry said.
"It's returning!" Terriermon said. I could also sense it.
"Where?" Henry asked. We all followed Terriermon and Lopmon. We finally came to some very old cyber café. The owner looked at them and said,
"You kids want to use the computers?" We ignored him and then reached a computer that was totally haywire. A ray of light came out of the computer and hit Henry's and my Digivice.
The Dimension of Data
Henry, Susie, Lopmon, and Terriermon were in a place that they had never seen before. Data, in other words 1s and 0s were flying all around them.
"Welcome to the Dimension of Data!" a voice Henry and Terriermon dreaded said. Sandiramon appeared in front of them. He was the Deva of snakes. He was white, had three horns and red eyes like the rest of the Devas. His underbelly was purple. Something was strange though, he no longer had his halberd.
"Where are we?" Henry asked.
"You are in the Dimension of Data. Before data forms in the Digital World it goes here." He said.
"Where's your halberd?" Terriermon asked.
"I don't need such a pathetic weapon anymore!" he said and then shot a ball of lightning from his mouth, which we barely avoided
"Matrix Evolution!" Henry said and the same words were written on his Digivice. When the Digivoloution sequence was complete, he was MegaGargomon. MegaGargomon had giant green feet with large gray toes at the end. His entire body seemed to be made out of metal. His huge legs were connected the rest of his body by two pipes. On his shoulders were two identical drawings of faces, which were actually missiles. His hands were a bit small, though. He was a little scary.
"Time to fight!" Sandiramon said. This time, however he shot a stream of fire from his mouth. MegaGargomon avoided this and then flew into the air. He shot two missiles at Sandiramon. One of them missed. However, Sandiramon could not avoid the second one, which was going straight to his head.
"He can't avoid that one." Susie and I said enthusiastically. However, we were wrong and Sandiramon ate the second one. He was unaffected by this. I really couldn't believe that anyone could eat a missile.
"You can't beat me that easily!" he said and then shot another ball of lightning at MegaGargomon. MegaGargomon barely avoided this and then shot two missiles at Sandiramon which he avoided with fast whip-like movements.
Sandiramon shot a bolt of lightning from his mouth instead and then nearly hit MegaGargomon. I turned to Susie and said,
"Susie! You have to help me to evolve into Antalymon!" We couldn't just stand there, could we? We had to do something!
Lopmon was right. I took out my purse and then a card I knew would help her Digivolve. Sliding the card, I said,
"Digi-Modify: Digivoloution Plug-In X!" As soon as I slid the card through the Digivice, Lopmon started to glow. Then, she saw that Antalymon was standing where Lopmon was.
I was Antalymon, and ultimate-level Digimon. I had red eyes like the other Devas and three horns. I was as tall as a two-storey house. I was like a rabbit, walking on two legs.
"Let's attack together!" MegaGargomon told me. I then shot pink energy blades at Sandiramon. The attacks hit him and then smoke covered him, but then the smoke cleared and he was unfazed.
"Take this, weaklings!" he shot another lightning ball at them. I saw Antalymon barely avoid it. I was getting scared, something that didn't happen often. I checked my purse for more cards, there were a few. Henry hadn't taught me how to use them well, though.
I had barely dodged another lightning ball. I wondered if Suzie was alright. Sandiramon started attacking rapidly with various lightning attacks. He shot two lightning balls, which MegaGargomon blocked by firing two missiles. He shot a bolt of lightning at me that missed but then it nearly hit Suzie.
That lightning bolt had nearly hit me. I saw Antalymon and MegaGargomon look worried. They tried to come near me, but Sandiramon prevented them.
"Save her? You can't even save yourselves!" He yelled and then shot a bolt of lightning at them. Even though Antalymon and MegaGargomon tried their best, they couldn't help me. After Sandiramon shot nearly ten lightning bolts, I began to cry. I just had to help. I had to.
"Digi-Modify: Hi-Speed Plug-In X, Attack Plug-In X, Defense Plug-In X!" I shouted sliding one card after another.
I heard what Suzie was saying. I felt a strange tingling this time instead of the usual feeling of surging energy. First, my body felt as if it was of stone and I felt heavy. Then, the usual surge of energy filled my body. Finally, I felt as if I was as light as a feather. Seeing this, Sandiramon shot a bolt at lightning from his mouth.
I saw the lightning bolt aim at Antalymon in slow motion. Sandiramon opened his mouth, and then energy formed in it. He shot the bolt of lightning at Antalymon.
I was ready when the lightning bolt approached me. I sped forward, feeling as light as a feather and then went through the bolt and hit Sandiramon. He howled with pain. I thought about what had happened. I was nearly invulnerable, traveled at speeds that made me look like a blur, and my attack was increased. That must have hurt.
"Suzie, how did you do that?" I asked her. She didn't know a lot about the Digimon card game.
"I just used three random cards she said. I had no idea what I was doing." She said. Okay, that was a downer.
I was amazed at seeing Antalymon hit Sandiramon. Sandiramon was stunned for a while. MegaGargomon fired two missiles at him while he was still recovering. He looked angry at seeing this.
"Do you think I've even started fighting? I haven't even used my poison yet!" he shouted. I had just hit him and now I knew we were in trouble.
His fangs then began leaking a liquid I knew was poison. He was coming towards me. I couldn't avoid it, it would be the end. I heard Susie scream. Just as Sandiramon was about to bite me, he avoided me and went for MegaGargomon instead.
Sandiramon was moving towards my brother! He was two fast and bit MegaGargomon. I yelled,
"No!" MegaGargomon was falling. He was lying on the floor, and then split into Henry and Terriermon. They both were unconscious and were not moving. I feared the worst.
"Now its time to get you!" Sandiramon said. He shot poison at me which I jumped to avoid. However, this was just a trap and then Sandiramon hit me with his tail.
Antalymon had just gotten hit by Sandiramon. She was lying unconscious. Now, Sandiramon turned to me.
"Now, my poison will spread through their bodies. They are about to die very soon." He said and laughed. I expected him to attack me to. Instead, he kept on talking to me.
"Why do help your brother?" he asked. I was now really confused, so I asked him,
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Your parents and your brother don't care about you." No! That couldn't be true! I knew that Sandiramon was lying to me.
"You are lying!" I said.
"Oh really, and how come everyone looks down at you?" It was true, everyone underestimated me. Still, they did love me, didn't they?
"They still care about me!" I said. I knew that and now I was feeling a bit better.
"Then why does your brother always tell you that you are not ready?" He asked. I started to feel sick. It was true and I sat down. I noticed a little that even though there was data around us, I somehow managed to sit on some surface.
"It's true." I said weakly.
"You're absolutely right, so why don't you and your Digimon, who is one of the Devas herself, join us and the great Crayak?" Sandiramon asked. But no, it couldn't be true. I knew they still believed in me. I knew it!
"No way." I said and Sandiramon was about to strike me, when a ray from my Digivice hit him and he stopped for a while. It started glowing and words were written on it:
MATRIX EVOLOUTION
Antalymon also began glowing. I felt energy surge through me and another consciousness also merge with me. I realized it was Antalymon, but now it was really Lopmon. I couldn't see her, but I could feel her. I was in this pretty ball made of light and there was scary darkness beyond my ball.
"Suzie." I said. I felt renewed with energy.
"What is it?" I asked. I could hear Lopmon.
"We have to do something now." I told Susie.
"Right." I said. After that, I didn't know how, but we approached Terriermon and Henry. We sort of, well concentrated and then two rays of light hit them. We waited and were happy to see that they had woken up.
"Susie?" Henry asked, confused. Yep, I was definitely Suzie.
"Yeah, and Lopmon also" we replied. After all, I couldn't just let me take the credit, could I?
"You two biomerged?" Terriermon asked us. They were asking such pointless questions, but still I answered. Maybe this was why Henry called me impatient. We said,
"Yes, and then we healed you two." We said. "You better evolve soon." We added, since Sandiramon was getting up. First, he checked his Digivice. That blue-plate thing, showed a picture of us. It said, Lopziemon, a bioemerged mega Digimon. It has extremely adept healing powers. Its technique is Sonic Destruction.
"Matrix Evolution!" Henry said and in a flash MegaGargomon was there.
"I'll get you two for that!" Sandiramon yelled. He shot another stream of fire. We easily dodged it. Then he shot a lightning bolt which we avoided with ease. The same happened for the next ball of lightning shot at us.
"You can't beat us!" We said. This must have really made him angry, because he lunged at us with his poisonous fangs. We avoided it also. This was very easy.
"You can't beat us!" I teased.
"Suzie!" Lopziemon said to me. It was weird, talking like that.
"What is it, Lopziemon?" I asked.
"We have to attack him and finish him!" she said. She was right; it was our turn to attack!
"Sonic Vibration!" we said. We put up our hands and then the air began to vibrate. It hit Sandiramon and he fell on the ground.
"Take this!" MegaGargomon said and he fired the two missiles that were on his shoulders. This time, Sandiramon could not get dodge it. That must have given him a bunch of ouchies! Still, Sandiramon got up. He was really angry now.
"You haven't seen the full extent of my poison!" He said and now some purple stuff was all around him. It missed us, the stuff was flying everywhere.
"Sonic Vibration!" We shouted.
"Gargo Missiles!" MegaGargomon shouted and the two missiles on his shoulders seemed to fly very fast, probably because of our attack. Both of our attacks hit him hard. This time, he didn't get up and was barely able to move.
"Time for my last attack! You won't escape now!" he said, as he weakly got up. Suzie was still in a playing mood, but I was ready to fight. I don't think we were doing very well, Suzie wasn't serious enough. Anyway, I was ready for Sandiramon's last attack. He started glowing, and then vanished.
"Where did he go?" MegaGargomon said. He could have turned invisible, that would really give him and advantage over us. I could feel Susie. Something that had surprised me was that now she wasn't in a playing mood, something which she was always in, even when she was fighting.
We tried to look around. He could have been anywhere. We looked nearly everywhere, in every direction and couldn't find him.
"Now the only way we'll know where he is if he attacks us." MegaGargomon said and now I was really feeling that he was right.
"Take this!" A voice came from behind us. We turned to see that Sandiramon had risen behind us, and he seemed to be coming from the data. He started to spit out poison again, and I thought that he was going to hit us with poison again. This time, however, the poison seemed to wrap itself around him.
We watched as Sandiramon wrapped himself in some of the purple stuff again. Soon, he was entirely purple and some of the purple stuff was leaking from him.
"Toxic Armor!" he shouted. He then shot straight at us.
"Sonic Vibration!" We yelled.
"Gargo Missiles!" MegaGargomon yelled. Like before, the missiles went to him really fast. The thing that was different was that now Sandiramon was hardly affected.
"You can't get me with that!" he yelled. We tried the combo again, and it still didn't do anything on him.
"We can't touch him!" MegaGargomon yelled. He was right; we were doing nothing to him.
"It's my turn now!" he yelled and then went into a coil. I remember something on T.V. that showed that snakes did that and then jumped. He lunged for us. MegaGargomon and we went into different direction.
"Sonic Vibrations!" We attacked while Sandiramon had missed. MegaGargomon shot all of the weapons that he had. Both of our attacks became some glowing light and hit him.
"Yes! I think we win!" MegaGargomon said. I hoped that that was the truth. When the smoke cleared, we found out that Sandiramon had hardly been affected at all.
"You are mine!" He yelled and then got MegaGargomon in the mouth. However, MegaGargomon shot all of his weapons in Sandiramon's mouth, which then let go.
Sandiramon vanished again. I didn't get how he was disappearing or why he had done it at all.
"I think I've got his movements." MegaGargomon said.
"How?" We asked. My big brother was really smart, he told me a lot of things, even if he was overprotective.
"He vanishes into the Dimension of Data's data stream. He does that because he's seriously wounded. He gets back his strength, and then attacks again while emerging from the Dimension of Data." MegaGargomon said. It made sense.
"Then how do we beat him? Whatever we have been doing done nothing except give him some ouchies." We said.
"The reason for that is because we have to work together." MegaGargomon said.
"Okay, let's work together!" I said. MegaGargomon was right.
"So let's wait." MegaGargomon said. "We should be able to hear him." We closed our eyes. Henry was right, I could hear something. Something big. It was really still for a while, but I could sense it. Probably because I was a Digimon.
"It's coming." MegaGargomon said. He was right. I could hear something emerging. The purple worm came up and we attacked.
"Sonic Destruction!" We fired an attack so powerful we were blown back a little by the force it made. MegaGargomon fired all of his weapons. Like before, both of them combined and hit Sandiramon, but this time it finished him. I was about to smile when a light came.
We were standing at Susie's Aunt's house. We were at the doorstep. I looked around and saw that we weren't merged anymore, or whatever it's called. Henry looked around, alert.
"That was a great job." Cat said as he appeared behind us.
"What are you doing here?" Henry asked. That was something I wanted to know to.
"I fixed up your timeline. You beat Sandiramon. Excellent."
"Okay, thanks." Henry replied. I wanted to talk next; everyone pays more attention to Henry. Is it that I'm not smart?
"Pretty birdie." I said. A white bird had just flown over me. I think I remember what it was called. Oh yeah! It was an owl!
"Oh no. That's the third time today." Cat said.
"What do you mean?" Terriermon asked. Another owl flew over us. "Are the owls there because of you?"
"Well, the thing is that today I read Harry Potter."
