Digimon:Digitize
!Trivia and Comments!
So with delayed info I will point out I started collecting the Rurouni Kenshin volumes. Well the big 3-1 volumes. So far I have four of the nine.
And wow, 39 Reviews, averaging just under four (3.9) per chapter at the time of writing this. And it's on quite a few favorite and alert lists, so at least I know some people are keeping track of all my blabber, and the story itself. Reaching 50 reviews with the tenth chapter would be super cool. Though I don't expect that until after the tenth chapter considering the average. Oh well, it's still cool having gotten this many reviews already and knowing people at least want to read it.
Probably rather obvious but every single chapter in this story have used a song title in the chapter title and for once I've decided to finally list them and will continue to do so in their respective chapter (eg. The song title used in Chapter Ten will be listed in Chapter Ten)
!Note that certain song texts do not actually fit super well with their respective chapter.!

Go Ahead. Make Your Own Choice
"So, how long have we been walking around here?" Ryan muttered as she ran a hand through her brown hair.
"How should I know?" Daido replied annoyed as the trio walked through the sand.
"I'm tired of this sand" Yuki complained as they had seemingly walked so far through the sand that all they could see was sand. "Whose idea was it to cross a desert?"
"Guilmon" Daido and Ryan both said tired.
"What are you looking at Guilmon for?" the red dragon like Digimon asked confused.
Yuki turned, "Because you lead us through a desert!" she complained before noticing something run towards them. "What is that?" She exclaimed surprised as the small creature came into view. It was green and plant like with a pink-like flower sprouting from its head.
"Yukiiii!" it shouted, "I found youuuuu!"
"Could this be, your partner Digimon?" Agumon murmured.
"What is it even?" Daido murmured slightly interested.
"Guilmon believes it is Palmon" Guilmon replied innocently.
Instantly Palmon and Yuki ran to each and cheered with Yuki going on "I have a partner, I have a partner!"
"Is she always like this about things?" Ryan asked looking at Daido.
"Pretty much" Daido replied with a sigh, "I'd guess it's a character trait."
Grasslands - Digital World
"Have anyone seen Kat and Kouki?" V asked as the large group were slowly waking up.
"They might be doing naughty things on their own" Hannah quickly said, "Oh, have Kat kidnapped Kouki to make him do her bidding" she continued seemingly imagining Kat dominating Kouki.
"For such a child you sure have dark throughts" Eufemia coldly murmured, trying to straighten out her silver hair.
"I'll have you know I'm fourteen" Hannah replied with a pout.
"No way!"
"Why are we always seemingly arguing in the morning?" Dara asked yawning
"Another one of Hannah's wild stories it seems" Connor spoke slightly annoyed, "Since Kat and Kouki left during the night"
"They left?"
"Of course they left, otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it" Kai pointed out.
"Well, if anything they'll show up again" Dara said with a smile, "I mean we are chosen to save this world"
"They did seem a bit odd though" Eufemia said, half paying attention. "They didn't seem as shocked to the things we saw here"
"And where are you going with this?" Dara asked interested.
"Well" Eufemia said as she stood up, "The first thing Kat did when we were alone Kouki, Sabrina and V after having had the battle against the Hunter was talking together alone"
"Clearly love at first sight" Hannah piped before moving on to play with Patamon again.
"Second." Eufemia continued, ignoring Hannah, "Their partners could both evolve to Adult"
"So can Kamemon and Gaomon" Kai said, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"If I can finish" Eufemia hissed, "When Coronamon, Monodramon and Renamon evolved they all confirmed their beliefs with their partners" the others nodded in agreement. "However. Neither Kat or Kouki affirmed anything with their partners. I just happened alongside Gaomon and Kamemon."
"But what you're aiming at is they know that Digimon Hunter?" Dara asked, "That's absurd!"
"That reminds me" Missy said, voicing her opinion, "Right after the Digimon Hunter left, she muttered something about breaking a promise"
"That would mean she knows the Digimon Hunter" Kai spoke crossing his arms, "That doesn't make sense, she was here with us!"
"I'm just saying, it is still plausible" Eufemia pointed out, "Do not come to me if I end up being right"
"Relax, that won't be necessary" Kai said brushing it off, not knowing how wrong he actually was.
Meanwhile with the Hunters
"I can't believe the Royal Knight's would choose anyone" Kat said out loud as they were walking in a direction they hoped would lead to the Royal Knight's chosen.
"They're desperate for Yggdrassil to return" Ren said calmly, "They work directly under it, so when they're suddenly forced to make decisions about the Digital World on their own."
"It throws them off, right?" Kouki spoke, hoping he was right not wanting to interrupt and then be wrong.
"Yeah. And because they only know the story from the Royal Knights they don't know what they had to do to keep this world in check" Amaya said.
"We need to get to them fast none the less" Ryouga said as they reached where the desert started.
"Now, to estimate their route" Ren said lowly taking out his Digivice, fiddling with it making a map show up.
"Do we know what the Knight's want them to do?" Kouki asked.
"No"
"You said there's a Digimon following their trail, do we have a route based on that?" Ryouga asked, still looking at the map.
"All we know is they've passed through Fuuki Village" Ren answered.
"That far away" Kat murmured, "So they could be heading anywhere"
"They might be heading that way" Ryouga said pointing at a large shape in the horizon, slightly left. "Considering Fuuki Village is that way" he said pointing to the right.
"Then let's get going" Amaya said and started walking forward with the others following shortly.
"So the Hunters are slowly moving" a small Digimon said to himself as he flew past, it was rather circular with small wings on top of his head. "The Master needs to know of this" it said and went towards the dark area in the horizon.
"This heat brings back memories doesn't it?" Amaya murmured as the five was walking through the sand.
"Yeah, to when we finally escaped" Ryouga replied trying to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Well, then let me bring you back!" a voice hissed around them.
"I guess they've learned of us from Beelzebumon" Ren said as a smile grew on his face.
"Hey, it's fine with me. I've always wanted one of those things" Ryouga said with a grin as they pulled out their Digivices.
"This will be the end of you" the voice hissed as several large Digimon, two different kinds shot up from the sand. One species was a large beige scorpion like Digimon standing on its hind legs. The other was a beige brown colored Digimon, that looked like a anomalocaris with blades from under its belly.
Anomalocarimon, Perfect Level Digimon. He has an enormous appetite. When fighting, he skillfully captures the enemy using his tentacles and then cuts them with the blade on his tail. The second pair of eyes on his head are radars to help him navigate the darkness. It's special attack is Stringer Surprise.
Scorpiomon, Perfect Level Digimon. Scorpiomon's whip-like tail is equipped with deadly poisonous spikes. He is called the "Desert Assassin" because he stealthily approaches from the back and stabs his opponent with the deadly poison needle on the tip of his tail. It's special attack is Poison Pierce.
"Oh, it's you guys again" Kouki said with a smile.
"Reload!" instantly the five Partner Digimon appeared, Agnimon, Dracomon, Fairymon, Labramon, and Wolfmon. "Super-Evolve!"
"Agnimon!" Agnimon said as he slowly changed into a more bestial shape with a larger torso, his armor slowly changing to covering the entire body as a tail grew out. His teeth grew sharp and got covered by yellow metal teeth. His head changed to a white helmet like top with red markings. The horns stayed, though the horns on the side grew from the front horn and followed the head back. Finally the hair disappeared, from his wrists a pair of golden sword like things grew forward, finally a pair of orange wings. "Super-Evolve! Vritramon!"
"Dracomon Evolve" Dracomon said as he grew larger. His wings growing to full size, his horns spiking more and a horn appearing on his snout and he turned blue with small spikes growing on his tail. "Coredramon!"
"Coredramon!" Coredramon said as he grew even larger. His wingspan increasing, his tail growing a lot longer. A second horn on his snout which were covered by a metal armor, his horns on his head changing to resemble orange hair and a large spear like object from between his wings. "Super-Evolve! Wingdramon!"
"Fairymon!" Fairymon said as she her butterfly wings changed into more birdlike wings, her long hair turned shorter and parts of it formed like bird wings. Her outfit changed slightly covering all of her chest and arms. The gloves on her hands got sleeker and reached up to her elbows. Around her neck a black muffler appeared. "Super-Evolve! Shutumon!"
"Labramon Evolve" Labramon said as her body grew larger and took the shape of a Shisa with spikes growing around the head. Small cloud patterns around the paws and a large bushy tail. "Siesamon"
"Siesamon!" Siesamon said as her body changed again to the shape of a more normal dog with large spikes in front of each paw. And the shape of a dog head on each shoulder. "Super-Evolve! Cerberumon!"
"Wolfmon!" Wolfmon said as his armor changed to a clean white with gold highlights and purple stripes at certain areas. He slowly turned into a quadruped wolf, at the back of each leg was a small wheel and on his back two blades went along it. "Super-Evolve! Garmmon!"
Cerberumon. Perfect Level Digimon. The evolved form of Siesamon. The armor on its shoulders each possess sentience, and are able to instantly sense an attack coming from any direction, then report it to Cerberumon's central body. It's special attack is Inferno Gate.
Wingdramon. Perfect Level Digimon. The evolved form of the blue Coredramon. It is a Sky Dragon Digimon able to fly freely through the air. Because the scales on its wings are able to block gravity, it is able to fly without flapping its wings. It seldom lands on the ground, and spends most of its time living in the sky. It is said that its air speed exceeds Mach 20, and there are few Digimon who can survive a dog fight with Wingdramon. It's special attack is Blaze Sonic Breath.
"Let enjoy the Hunt!"
"Let's do this quick and Hunt them!" Ren commanded. "Vritramon and Wingdramon. Cerberumon and Garmmon. Shutumon solo"
"Got it"
"Well, let's go then Kouki" Ryouga said with a smile as he got next to Kouki who nodded in agreement.
"Vritramon!", Ryouga said, "Wingdramon" Kouki said, "Double Xros!" they said as they almost slammed their Digivices together, stopping inches from each other.
"Vritramon!" "Wingdramon" "Double Xros!" Slowly Wingdramon joined with Vritramon. Vritramon's wings got replaced with Wingdramons, the head armor on Vritramon changed into metal. "Xros Up! Vritramon!"
"Us as well" Ren said as him and Kat stood next to each other. "Garmmon!" "Cerberumon!" "Double Xros!" Garmmons armor hardened and darkened, on his shoulders two heads similar to Cerberumon's appeared, the extra claws Cerberumon had attached them self to Garmmon. "Xros Up! Garmmon"
"This is bad boss" One of the Anomalocarimon said. "We might be the same level but when they DigiXros it's a lot harder"
"This is nothi-" a Scorpiomon tried to say before it was hit directly by Xros Up Vritramon ramming into it. Before he sped on to another. Xros Up Garmmon and Shutumon also flying through.
"Solar Fire!" "Blazing Sonic Blaster!" "Wind of Pain" the three Digimon shouted firing into a scorpion like Digimon, forcing a purple data ring to appear around them. The five Hunters each swung their Digivice capturing a few of the group of defeated Digimon.
"I almost feel sorry for Digimon when we have to do this" Amaya muttered.
"Well, DigiXrossing like this is kind of overkill" Kat replied.
Meanwhile the Royal Knight chosen had seen the large explosion that occurred from the Hunters fighting and were rushing over as they had noticed it wasn't that far away.
"I don't believe it" Daido muttered shocked, "Humans!"
"Hey, you guys!" Yuki shouted waving as they ran closer.
"I guess we found them fast" Kat whispered.
"Hey, don't they seem familiar" Ren spoke lowly to Amaya and Ryouga.
"Sort of, but that's absurd, we've been here for ten years"
"I know but the two Japanese still feel familiar"
"Wow, I didn't know there'd be any other humans in this world" Daido said with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Daido Itou" he said.
"I'm Ryan Grey" Ryan introduced.
Yuki bowed and introduced herself "Nice to meet you, I'm Yuki Totomi"
Amaya, Ren and Ryouga stood a little dumb folded, "Wait, Totomi?"
"What about my surname?" Yuki questioned curiously. "It's not uncommon or anything"
"This might be a bit farfetched" Ren asked, "Now we've been in this world for ten years, we barely remember a lot from before this" he said, pausing. "What we know is that Amaya" he said motioning to the dark brown haired girl in a trench coat, "and myself are family"
"Amaya..." Yuki murmured, before breaking down in tears, "You.. Would your name be Ren?" she cried out.
"What's with you Yuki?" Daido and Ryan asked shocked.
"Don't you remember?" Yuki sobbed, "My siblings that went missing last year"
"Oh yeah.." Daido muttered weakly.
"My little sister, Amaya Totomi and my younger brother Ren Totomi" she cried.
!Next Chapter!
There's some mistrust between the Holy Beast Chosen. And the big surprise, Amaya and Ren is Yuki's younger siblings. But they've been in the Digital World for ten years. But that doesn't fit with Yuki's story. Read as the Digimon Hunters explain their story, in the tenth chapter of Digimon:Digitize: Close to Heart! Story of the Digimon Hunters.
!Glossary!
Anomalocarimon - Scorpiomon
Scorpiomon - SkullScorpiomon
!Final Comments!
I figured as I noticed this chapter suddenly started to get long I'd squeeze the fighting in as there was certain things I wanted to happen in this chapter without it getting too long (Even though my standard isn't super long I'd like to keep an average)
And yeah, I went and made two of the Hunters related to another person I put in the story. It's for plot points and cliché ideas I started making these second comment sets after the story.
!Extra Comments!
So, a lot of sidelining happens with this chapter, but also some interesting aspects are showing up. Yuki finally get her Partner Digimon. I had a lot of debate as to what it should have been which is why it was vaguely described in all mentions (Two I think but still!).
I can really see some of the mistakes I've made with the story. The cast is far too large, I admit that. I quite possibly accepted too many characters. But at the same time it's a nice challenge working with them. As it's possible to make most shine through with their personality. I also notice some problems with my plot. Specifically the way I'm handling the Royal Knights. They felt right to use as a story element but giving them chosen doesn't seem as good right now.
And it's been fun writing this. So whenever Digitize ends I might go for another story, with less of a main cast. Or if there is such a large cast make some of them a supportive/recurring cast. And honestly speaking I have ideas to do another story, but I don't want two stories going on top of each other. Kudos to those that can, but if I have two OC stories at the same time I'll lose track of them or jumble them together even though I have documents with various information about this story I'm horrible following some of them. Even the Digital World is being changed as the story goes.
