Tagiru's Bizarre Adventure

Okay...I said in the last chapter that the next arc is going to be up...but then I decided to hold it off as I'm working on the next arc as I intend to return Xros Wars to its roots...meaning applying the elements from the first and second seasons even though I haven't watched it, only season 3 (Young Hunters Leapt Through time), so for now an idea came to my head and decided to make a filler chapter to make up for the delay.
This chapter will focus solely on the Old Clock Shop Owner, as he gets a visit from someone belonging to the Digital World, and will give hints in regards to the Bagra Army, but also the title suggests that this fic will be "crossing over" with another Digimon fanfic that I'm writing, which will be revealed later on.
So for now, enjoy this chapter.
Ch. 8: Mahotsukai no Kameo
A few weeks later, Tagiru is back to his old, usual self, thanks to the support of Taiki, Yuu and Nene, and thus peace is seemingly restored for the humans, yet Digimon incidents are still prevalent, yet all is well for the time being and so far nothing major has happened that would put threat to Japan and the human world as we speak, as the Old Clock Shop Owner randomly gives X Loaders to young people he deemed has "having potentials".
Clockmon is tasked of distributing X Loaders to those that the Owner personally approached, and after seeing if that person has the "makings of a hunter", the owner then tells that person the rules of the "hunt" and all is set, thus the next wave of Hunters are "born" which would be tasked in hunting Digimons that are rampaging throughout Kyoto, though this was in part to keep the Digimons from causing further havoc within the prefecture. Or at least that was what the Clock Shop owner intended even though Tagiru, Ryouma, Airu, Ren and numerous others are already established hunters.
-x-
One day, the Clock Shop Owner finally settles in one place and puts up a shop where clocks, new and old ones, including rare types and antiques, are being sold, and within the next few days the items he is selling are being sold like "hotcakes", as customers flocked to buy them at affordable prices, and the Owner himself is pleased while Clockmon is acting as the cashier, and the customers think that the Digimon is a "cosplayer" and did not mind him much apart from registering the payment/transaction while the Owner is using "strategy" to make his items enticing to customers.
"Here is your change! Thank you for shopping and come again another day!"
"Thanks!"
"This shop sure is good…"
"Nice…a cashier for a cosplayer!"
"I'd like to buy this one…"
"How much is this item?"
"Can I ask for a discount? "
"Is there a warranty…?"
Much later, Tagiru and Gumdramon passed by, and are awed at the volume of shoppers flocking the shop and there the owner told him that this is part of his "game play" where he can scan potential hunters and there he can see if either one or some of them have what it takes to be a hunter, and Tagiru sees nothing wrong with it, while asking for a discount, which the Owner flatly refuses much to Tagiru's chagrin though Gumdramon justifies that it is wrong to ask discounts unreasonably.
"Wow…your new shop sure attracted a lot of customers…"
"That's part of my strategy…"
"Really…?"
"Yup…to see if some of them has the "talent" for hunting…"
"I see…anyway…can I ask for a discount…"
"Nope."
"Huh/ come on…it's the least you can do after I saved the worlds…"
"I'd be bankrupt if I do that…"
After that, Tagiru left and soon the customers left after buying what they wanted, and just as the Owner is counting the money and discussing with Clockmon about how things turn out, another customer came in, and both are taken by surprise as the newcomer appeared to be a senior high school boy, aged 17, and he visually resembles a slightly grown-up Takuya Kanbara, who is dressed in jeans, boots, checkered shirt and a trench coat, and there the Owner and Clockmon notices that the teen, Takuya Kanbara, who turn out to be a native in the "world of Xros Wars", is wearing a strange belt that has a hand symbol for a buckle and is wearing a pair of rings on both middle fingers and he is asking for a particular antique item.
"Good day…"
"Good day to you, young man…are you new in town?"
"Just passing by…I reside in Shibuya…"
"I see…is there any particular item you like to buy…?"
"How about that item?"
"Oh, that…it's a rare one…I might give you that if you can match the price…"
"Hmm…I guess I…"
"Huh?"
As the Owner accommodates the teen, something flashed before them and a Digimon appeared, and she resembles a human-type Digimon that resembles a witch, and she is identified as Witchmon, and there she approaches the Clockshop Owner and tries to persuade him to join forces as she makes it clear that a new empress is leading the Bagra Army and that the Owner is considered being groomed as the new general, though the Owner has no intention of joining the new Bagra Army and flatly turns down the offer, which irked Witchmon hard.
"You! The reincarnation of Bagramon! "
"What can I do for you?"
"Don't try to act like that…I know it is you…Lord Bagramon…I have been sent by the new empress of the Bagra Army to recruit you to sever the new empire! Accept it…and you will be appointed as the high general and the new empress may consider you making her right-hand Digimon!"
"Sorry…I'm no longer THAT Bagramon…I am now a simple clock shop owner…and I have no intention of ruling the Digimon world again like that…"
"You dare defy the new empress?!"
"If I may say so…yes."
"Fool! You have no idea what you're saying…?"
"Well…"
However, Takuya grabbed the Owner and placed him behind while shielding him, telling Witchmon to stop harassing the Owner and Witchmon hisses back, and this resulted in some "trash-talking" between the two.
"Hey! I don't know what's going on…but harassing an old man is something I wouldn't approve of…"
"Silence, human! You have no part in this discussion!"
"I do…I'm a customer…and I'm the one he's talking with before you suddenly barged in…"
"Fool! You will regret raising your voice against me!"
"I'm not that intimidated…"
"You really think you can…wait…I sense it…you have a Digimon inside your body…!"
"Pretty much…"
"Then how about I rip it off your body right now…hmm…?"
In response to Witchmon's threat, Takuya makes his move as he places his right hand in front of his belt that has a hand symbol, which the ring glowed and for the belt, which turns out to be a "device" called the "Wizardriver", spoke to confirm the magical command.
Wizardriver: "DRIVER ON…PLEASE…"
Soon the Wizardriver appeared as a magical, metallic belt and Takuya puts on a magic ring on his left middle finger then places it in front of the Wizardriver to begin his transformation.
Shaba-doobi Touch to Henshin...
Shaba-doobi Touch to Henshin...
Shaba-doobi Touch to Henshin...
Shaba-doobi Touch to Henshin...
*This is a rap song sung in Japanese...
"Henshin!"
Wizardriver: "FLAME…PLEASE…HII-HII…HII-HII-HII…"
A magical circle appeared on the left side of Takuya and slowly went towards the right, enveloping the teen and now he is encased in black armor with red ruby-like ornament-like armor, which included his helmet, along and with a black robe, and there he is now in his Digimon-armored form known simply as the "Wizard", and Witchmon can sense the power emanating from both Takuya's magical abilities and the inner Digimon coming from deep within the teen's body.
"This can't be…you possess the power of a Digimon…!"
"Pretty much…"
"What are you?!"
"A ring-bearing wizard…"
"Hah! You? A "wizard"? Don't make me laugh! You think you possess something like magic?!"
"I do."
"Then how about I see what you're made of, human!"
"Sa...SHOWTIME da!"
*Translation: "Now it's SHOWTME!"
However, sensing that the fight would turn ugly and may result in causing damage to the shop, the Owner told the two to have the fight moved elsewhere, so he took out his X Loader and activated it, and soon the place changes and they are now within the Digi-Quartz, and there the battle is about to commence, in which the Owner and Clockmon watched intently as they glance at the teen, who now calls himself the "Wizard".
"Looks like I'll have to make this fight end quickly…"
"You think you have the power to defeat someone like me?!"
"Yes, I do…"
"You will regret those words…no human has ever survive my wrath…"
"Then I'll make you into a RAT…"
"Now you asked for it…"
"Then allow me to show you the MAGIC I possess!"
"Then die!"
And so the Wizard charges towards the Digimon, with Witchmon doing the same and both exchanged blows, with the Takuya applying his martial arts skills to get an upper hand but the Digimon's magical attacks evened the odds, and the fight became close, but then the Digimon brought out her "broom" and struck Wizard with it, forcing the armored teen to remove the ring from his right middle finger and then took out another from his belt's holster and puts it on his middle finger before placing his hand in front of his belt.
Wizardriver: "CONNECT...PLEASE..."
A magical circle appeared and there Wizard places his hand inside, then pulls it out where he brought out his weapon, identifies as the Wi-Sword-Gun, and the two clashed weapons.
"You'll never stop me! That person will once again serve the Bagra Army!"
"I won't let that happen!"
"And how will you do that?"
"I will bring hope to those in despair!"
"You'll never will...as long as I'm around!"
"I don't think so..."
"Then have at you!"
"Blast...she's stalling me...got to finish this fast...!"
Seeing that the Digimon is stalling him, Wizard then puts on a magical ring on his right middle finger and places it in front of the Wizardriver and a new command is activated.
Wizardriver: "COPY…PLEASE…"
A new magic took place as the Copy Ring allows the wearer to create clones of himself, and the "two Wizards" attacked a bewildered Witchmon, managing to stagger her back until the Digimon lets out a huge fire ball, while Wizard replaces his right magic ring with another one and places it in front of the Wizardriver.
Wizardriver: "DEFEND…PLEASE…"
A magical barrier made of fire appeared and deflected the attack, with the copied version of Wizard going ahead to distract Witchmon while the real Wizard removes the Copy Ring and replaces it with another magic ring, putting it on his right middle finger and is now ready to put it in front of the Wizardriver and execute another magical attack.
"And now...the finale..."
Rupatchi Majikku Tatchi Gō!
Rupatchi Majikku Tatchi Gō!
Rupatchi Majikku Tatchi Gō!
Rupatchi Majikku Tatchi Gō!
Wizardriver: "VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE!"
After a few seconds, the Wizardriver spoke again to confirm the activation of his magical attack.
Wizardriver: "FABULOUS!"
Wizard's leg began to go ablaze as he charged towards Witchmon, who had just "finished off" Wizard's "copy", and there she is taken by surprise as Wizard is nearing him, preparing to take him down with his finishing attack. His finishing attack is called the Strike Wizard Kick, a corkscrew drop kick enhanced by the power of the element presently wielded, and in this case - fire.
Wizard executed the Flame Strike Wizard and struck Witchmon and soon the Digimon exploded, reducing her to rubble and data, and is immediately deleted, and after that, the Owner activated the X Loader and the scene brought them back to the clock shop, and Wizard reverted back to normal, and the Owner approaches Takuya and the two exchanged words and a discussion took place and learned something from the teen, seeing that this Takuya is a native to this world and not the Takuya from the Digimon Frontier world.
"Nice display of fighting, young lad…"
"Thanks…"
"Can I ask for your name, sonny?"
"Takuya…Takuya Kanbara."
"Hmm…sound familiar…are you really from here?"
"I came from Shibuya…and was born there…spent 16 years living with my relatives before being abandoned…"
"Hmm…I guess that's all I need to know…so…found what you need?"
"Yup…here's the payment…thanks."
After that, Takuya left, with the Clock Shop Owner watching him intently, and as he turned around, he is a bit surprised to see someone else here watching the scene all this time, and that someone is an adult-sized entrant, who is covered in whitish armor, dressed in white robes and also possesses the same belt and rings like Takuya. He is identified as the White Wizard, and there the two talked, in which the Owner senses that he is also a native of the Digimon world, only that his world is parallel from the Digimon world of Shoutmon's.
"That was surprising…I didn't see you here…"
"My apologies…I was watching Takuya Kanbara fight that Digimon…"
"I see…hmm..that belt and rings…they look similar to that boy…"
"Yes. I gave him that…for he will use them as a way to channel his magic to fight Digimons…"
"Er…you're from the Digimon World too…aren't you…?"
"I suppose you could say that…though the place I came from is quite…parallel from the Digimon World you speak of…"
"I see. Can I help you with something…?"
"Thank you…but I have seen what I need to see…we will meet again…sometime soon. And expect to see more of Takuya Kanbara…for he will bring hope to those who fell in to despair…"
After that, the White Wizard places his hand in front of his Wizardriver where his magic ring glowed while his belt spoke to confirm the ring's activation, surprising Clockmon a bit.
Wizardriver: "TELEPORT...NOW..."
As the White Wizard disappeared, the Owner and Clockmon glanced at each other before resuming their business, but he senses that something "interesting" is about to take place soon, and wondered if either Taiki or Tagiru would get embroiled at something like this, as this is the first time he has seen a Digimon battle that relies solely on "magic", and wondered if he would get to see Takuya Kanbara again, as he sensed a Digimon inside the teen and is the one supplying Takuya with "magic" and wondered what kind of battle he would get to see some time in future days...or weeks...or months to come.
To Be Continued…
Hope you like this chapter, which focused mostly on the Clock Shop Owner, and a cameo from two characters from my other Digimon fanfic that is currently ongoing.
This other Digimon fanfic that made a cameo here is from "Digital Wizard", which is a crossover of sorts that featured several characters from the Digimon anime, though Takuya Kanbara (from Digimon Frontier) is playing the lead role here, yet other support characters are also from the other Digimon anime. In case your wondering what significance it has in this fic, well…I sort of "bridge" the two fics, which means that Tagiru's Bizarre Adventures' story is set in the same time as Digital Wizard, meaning that they are connected in some way, though which character will be connecting to the other fic, well…you probably guessed who, but that will be revealed in later chapters.
For now, I hope you enjoy this chapter and it would give you ideas on what situations would befall our favorite gogglehead.
Preview:
Next chapter will resume the usual story involving Tagiru, yet another danger is looming as an unseen villain is making plans, who seemed to be hell-bent in doing something to Tagiru, and his friends will be caught in the middle of a struggle…
