Digimon: Digital Online

Chapter 10 – The Soldier

Sylvia walks into her room and turns on the computer. She logs into Digimon: Digital Online. "So can you get on Digital Online?" She asks her friend.

"I kinda lost my Digimon to the enemy…" She tells her friend.

"Alright then, I guess I'll play by myself." Sylvia continues to move on without anyone accompanying her. Her character finds a horde of Gladimon preparing to attack them, but something sneaks up to but misses her Digimon.

"NETWORK GRENADE!"

"WHAT?!" Sylvia looks around at the screen, trying to spot the enemy she finds an Infermon with Question Marks (?) in its name.

Waspmon looks back and spots Infermon. The Infermon targets Waspmon. "You're next!" Infermon jumps at the Waspmon who manages to dodge it again and again unable to change its course it changes strategy to attack its opponent. "Virus Skater! Spider Shooter! Combination!" Infermon moves around swiftly while firing shells from its mouth.

"BEAR BUSTER! TURBO STINGER! Combination Attack!" Waspmon charges up a large powered laser on its abdomen while its shoulders release multiple weak blasts of energy towards Infermon. While the weaker blasts fail to hit Infermon it manages to hit the shells protecting it from the attacks. Infermon then stops having run out of energy, Waspmon fires its charged laser at the infermon. "Turbo Stinger! Bear Buster! Combination Attack!"

"Network Grenade and Spider Shooter!" Infermon curls up into its cocoon and fires itself at Waspmon. Then fires shells from the head of the cocoon. Waspmon continues to use its Turbo Stinger to deflect the shells and then releases its fire on the shell of Infermon.

Infermon knocked down, gets back up angered by his failed attempts. "you're strong, I can give you that. But there's no way that I'd lose to a low-level Digimon like you! Virus Skater! Network Grenade!" Infermon uses its legs to skate around and build up speed, then launches itself at Waspmon.

"Turbo Stinger!" Waspmon fires smaller lasers at its opponent, but it fails to slow down the Infermon. Infermon eventually hits Waspmon and Waspmon is knocked down to the ground. Waspmon gets back up and charges up its laser.

"Network Grenade!" Infermon launches itself at the opponent again, it reaches Waspmon. However, within an inch, Waspmon's laser finishes charging and fires its 'Bear Buster'. Knocking both Digimon back and they fall to the ground. Infermon; 20%, Waspmon; 10%.

When Waspmon gets up it remains silent and focuses on how to defeat the Infermon. "This is an Ultimate-Level Digimon; my best asset to use is the Bear Buster since it allows to take down much larger opponents. However, as a result I remain vulnerable to any and all attacks launched by the Infermon. My Turbo Stinger, Bear Buster combination allows me to get past that consequence. However, I can only use it very few times in a row." While Waspmon is stil thinking, it is hit by the shell of Infermon and falls to the ground.

"You're finished, goodbye." Infermon smirks. "You shouldn't have let your guard down. Spider Shooter!"

Waspmon wonders on what it could do. "There's nothing I can do…" Waspmon looks up and sees a weakened Chrysalimon running away. " Waspmon fires its 'Turbo Stinger' firing multiple smaller lasers towards the shells coming towards it. It creates a smoke that covers up the field. Part of the smoke is engulfed in light and then when both the light and then the smoke clears a much larger bee-like Digimon emerges.

Infermon confused by this outcome, readies its attacks again. "Network Grenade!" it launches itself at the opponent.

"Nitro Stinger!" The new Bee-like Digimon that emerges fires a laser from the abdomen of it and it completely crushes the cocoon of Infermon.

"That's impossible!" Infermon looks at the new Bee-like Digimon. Infermon rather than trying to finish of its opponent aims to escape. "Virus Skater!" Infermon builds up speed by circling around its opponent.

"I am CannonBeemon! And from the Royal Base! I declare you deleted! SKY ROCKET‼‼‼ INFINITY!" CannonBeemon releases a barrage of missiles from the hive on its back, it rotates 360 degrees in the opposite direction of the Infermon to make sure the Infermon doesn't escape. The missiles hit Infermon and then it disintegrates into data that spreads throughout the Digital World.

CannonBeemon reverts back to its rookie stage tired from its constant use of Bear Buster in its Champion stage. It slowly walks over to a village to try and recover.

"Well, that was unexpected." Sylvia notes while looking at her Digimon. "It helped me get to Ultimate-Level though." She jumps on her bed. "I get anything I want whenever I want. This is amazing." Sylvia rolls around on her bed and smiles. She looks out the door. "My parents are the best in the world!"

Sylvia's parents are however talking in their room about Sylvia. "She gets everything… I think she might be spoilt. We should really prevent her from getting anymore." Sylvia's mother says to her father. "I believe she asked you for another computer?"

"I believe you… but you know how she acts when she doesn't get what she wants." Sylvia's father replies. He sighs. "I guess it's time to break to her the truth."

In the Dark Area, Lucemon contemplates existence in the Digital World and about the time while he was the left hand of God. "When I was the left hand of God I learnt something; that the Digital World didn't really exist at all. But it was a program, only Daemon knows this as well. Having been the Right Hand of God at that time, only us two have shared the same past along with Lilithmon but she never learned of such things. But if the Digital World really didn't exist and we can become just mere pawns in the game for God, I'd like to know why I feel like I have my own will."

Meanwhile in the real world Akio Moto is contemplating something else similar to the topic that Lucemon was on, thinking about how his decision made it. "I allowed the Digimon to have a special AI, and now they've fought back at me. I wonder if it really was worth giving the Digimon an AI, or was it nothing but a bother in the first place. The Great War I know I orchestrated, but I wanted to make it similar to the religion I learnt of while in the West and North. Now it's brought my business into the problem. I'm guessing it's too late for that now, since I've already been infected with a virus preventing me from deleting the Digital World… The Dark Data…"

The story might be seeming kind of slow at this point, but please. In three more chapters, the story will start speeding up, but it shouldn't be too quickly.
