Dagomon's evil plan is finally revealed... and Veemon finally gets a damn bone!
Chapter 7 - Servent of the Dark King
Dark light filled the sky as another thunder storm raged in the Dark Lands. A familiar, but somehow different, Digimon was running as fast as she could to her Master. Her sheek black fur let her blend into her surrondings in this world, and her fierce claws dug into the ground as she sped towards Dagomon's shrine.
Upon reaching the shrine, the pentagram in it's courtyard lit up again; it's red crimson light blinding many of the dark acolytes seated at the stone pews.
Dagomon had come through it once again.
" Oh lord Dagomon, most feared of all the evil Digimon, it is good to once again relish in your presense?"
BlackGatomon, unlike Dagomon's other servent Gaomon, actually loved to serve him and took great pleasure in killing innocents, especially when it was for a particularly evil cause.
"...BlackGatomon...I presume you...have something...to tell me..."
BlackGatomon looked up at him, an evil grin on her furry face.
"Of course Master. I just received news that that foolish child Gaomon has been bested by the she-cat. He failed to acquire the holy ring, such as were your orders. It has become clear to me now that he is not fit to serve you. Shall I kill him for you?"
Dagomon continued to look at her, searching her eyes for any doubts. Finally, he spoke.
"Unneccessary... he will eventually...meet his end... I sense he...will betray me...soon. Your task now...is to take...the ring from...Gatomon...I trust you...can do what...Gaomon could not..."
"Of course Master. The little kitten doesn't scare me in the least. I will rip her to shreds, along with the other one."
Dagomon once again paused for a few moments before speaking.
"Ah yes...the blue child...very well. Finish the task...BlackGatomon...and don't you...fail me like...the weakling Gaomon...because you...will not receive...the same mercy...this ring is...very important...without it, ... I cannot invade...the human world..."
"It is already done oh Great Lord, you can trust me with your life."
Dagomon once again dissipated into the ground. BlackGatomon turned around and headed back to the rift to the human world.
Mmmm...so it's my turn now...oh this'll be so much fun, two little mice to play with...heeheeheeheeheehee
***Motomiya Residence, moments before Gatomon calls***
Veemon was relaxing on the bed as his partner revisited the quirky world of his online video game. Veemon was thinking about his feelings.
Do I really love Gatomon? I mean, I'm pretty sure that what I feel is "love"...but... man this kind of stuff just makes my head hurt! The sooner Jun get's back and clears things up the better.
" What? My attack was blocked! Oh come on what the heck, this guy's cheating!" Davis half shouted as he clicked franticly on his computer mouse.
And even if I do love her, what about Patamon... how can I get rid of him? Look at me, jumping to conclusions! I doubt she even acknowledges me anymore, except when she's explaining to someone what an idiot is!
" And... I'm bored."
Davis got up out of his computer chair and looked at Veemon.
" Veemon? You alright?"
Veemon was lying down, looking up at the ceiling, still thinking. He turned to face Davis.
"Ya... just thinking is all."
"Well don't think too much you'll hurt your head."
"Thanks for the advice...but..."
As the two were talking, the phone began to ring. Davis was surprised.
"Wow I wonder who it can be...everyone was supposed to be busy today...hey Veemon maybe it's Gatomon calling!"
" That kinda junk only happens in bad movies and those poorly thought out stories... next thing ya know a dozen evil Digimon will invade the world and I'll turn into a giant blue dragon!"
As Veemon closed his eyes to have a nap, Mrs. Motomiya came upstairs and knocked on Davis's door.
" Oh Davis, is Veemon awake, he has a phone call."
Veemon sprung up in a flash.
" I do? One second, I'm coming!"
"It's your little cat friend, Gatomon."
Veemon froze in place.
No...it can't be her... must be someone else playing a trick on me, or...
"What are you waiting for Veemon go take the call!"
Davis was trying to push his friend out of the room. It took awhile since Veemon was caught in deep thought. Davis opened his room door, and pushed Veemon out with one final heave ho. handed him the phone and smiled.
"Don't worry Veemon, you can do it."
Apparently guessed his feelings already. She walked back downstairs as Veemon brought the phone piece to his ear.
"G-Gatomon..?"
"Veemon! Oh am I glad you're home!"
"Y-you are, why? I mean, why wouldn't you be, right... but wait what do you want ... I don't mean to be rude, and if you don't really want anything that's fine too... but if you do I can help... I mean of course I can or else you wouldn't call me..."
Veemon began to bang his head in the wall realizing how stupid and idiotic he sounded.
Gatomon giggled at the other end. She had always found Veemon a little cute, on account of his shameless rambling and nervousness.
"You wanna hang out?"
Veemon nearly went into fit when he heard such magical words.
"W-with you...alone?"
"Mhmm, everyone else is..."
I shouldn't say that, he'll think I only called him out of a last resort...I don't want to hurt his feelings
"I mean, I really wanted to spend some time with you, so I called you. I need some fresh air anyways."
Veemon couldn't believe his ears. SHE wanted to actually, without being forced to, spend time with HIM? This made him question his Patamon theory.
She would never even think of me if she was going out with Patamon...maybe I was wrong all along! Could it be...only one way to find out...
"Hey...um...this is gonna sound weird Gatomon but.. um about Patamon..."
"Huh...what about him?"
"Err...well...you and him...are you...like...friends..."
"Of course, the very best you know that."
"Right, but are you, ya know, really good friends, like..."
Veemon closed his eyes as he awaited the verdict.
"A couple?"
Gatomon, at the other end, was surprised at the question, and a little confused.
"Well no but... I don't see what that has to do with anything...listen Veemon if you're just stalling for time because you don't want to see me or something it's fine, I know I haven't really called you or spent any time with you for a long time, and I'm sorry..."
She sounded really sincere and Veemon was already on dancing around the floor in happiness.
I can't believe it! I was right! Gatomon is a free mon and I'm going to go hang out with her! This is perfect!
"No wait that's not it at all Gatomon! I'd love to go out... errr date...UMMM I mean hang out over you... GAH I MEAN DO THINGS TO YOU... AHHH WAIT NO THAT'S NOT RIGHT!"
Gatomon completely lost it. Hearing her laugh on the other end was both embarassing and settling at the same time.
"Hahaha, oh Veemon your the best. Listen, meet me at Kari's school, there's a playground in the back. Don't be late!"
She hung up. Veemon, although incredibly happy, was bushed.
Boy how tiring... if I ever get through this love thing alive I have to remember to never fall for any mon again...
Veemon than noticed Davis unlooking from the doorway to his room. He had his standard grin on his face, complete with some laughing in between. Veemon blushed.
"...D-Davis! How long have you been listening to me!"
"Around the time you started to dance! Dude, you totally did it man, you got her to go out with you didn't you?
Veemon looked at him quizzically, but then decided on an answer.
No harm in a little lie, I suppose. After all, it wont be long now until she's my mon...
"Of course Davis! Who could resist this face? I'm going to meet her at the school park."
"Grats Veemon, I'm proud of you! We should celebrate when you get back!"
"Sounds like a great way to end the day Davis. And hey, I'll even throw in a good word for you about Kari. Why, with Gatomon as my girl, I could probably get Kari to go out with you!"
"Kari...going out with me..."
At this point we invision a daydream similar to the one Veemon had in Chapter 4, and for lazyness reasons I wont repeat what has already been described. Just know that it was over the top and it made Davis mentally cream in his pants.
"ALRIGHT! This is great Veemon! Get going, lover boy, you have some work to do!"
He shoved his friend down the stairs and out the door.
"Davis wait! Let's slow down a bit here..."
"There's no time to slow down! Speed up! The faster you get there the better, and make sure to really give it to her, she needs to be falling head over heels for you!"
"Ah...right... OK!"
Veemon started down the road.
Oh boy...I hope this works out, I don't think Davis can keep a secret for very long...of course I never told him it was a secret...I mean why would it need to be, well it does, since I lied but...
And as Veemon travelled down his emotional and real road, Gatomon was also making her way to the park, Patamon was on a picnic with Lalamon, and the mysterious BlackGatomon was headed for the Kamiya residence. But what about Gaomon... has he gone into hiding or... has Dagomon's evil grip on him finally been freed?
