Digimon D-Tamer

Chapter Twelve

Ryuu vs. Taichi! Digimon Racing

Ryuu and the others returned to the Digital World in order to find Vani. However, they were intercepted by the evil MetalPhantomon, who put Ryuu, Vani, Keiko, and their digimon to sleep, while Kenji and Leormon were held captive. While MetalPhantomon was trying to control Kenji's heart, Kenji was able to break free from his nightmare and help Leormon warp digivolve into the Perfect level digimon, LoaderLeomon. With the threat behind them, the Chosen Children continued on their quest.

Ryuu vs. Taichi! Digimon Racing

"Hey, is this the Venus Rose?" Ryuu asked, as the gang approached a huge chrome city entitled, "VENUS ROSE".

"Wow, you're a smart one." Kenji sighed. Coredramon landed on the ground near the chrome city and degenerated back into Dracomon.

"Ryuu, c'mon!" Dracomon said, flying towards Venus Rose. "We need to get to the Trailmon before anyone else!"

"Hey, wait up!" Ryuu shouted, running after him. "Don't be so reckless!"

"He's one to talk…" Keiko sighed as Vani chuckled.

"Alright, let's follow him." Vani suggested, and everyone ran after him.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As the Chosen Children were running through Venus Rose, they saw many digimon in bleachers cheering in some sort of arena.

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Ryuu asked.

"Hmm, let's find out." Kenji said. The kids ran into the arena, and were shocked to discover that this arena was no arena…it was a race track!

"This is a race track…" Falcomon said.

"It must be the Great Digimon Race." Leormon said.

"Great Digimon Race?" Ryuu repeated. "What's that?"

"It's a competition that Venus Rose is famous for." Tailmon explained. "Tamers and Digimon from all over the Digital World race for a top prize." On the race track, the kids looked and saw a Pegasusmon, Garurumon, Gargoylemon, Rinkmon, Gaiomon, and a Stegomon in line for the competition.

"Some of them don't have Tamers, though." Vani pointed out.

"Then, let's go help 'em out!" Ryuu shouted. Kenji and Leormon reluctantly boarded the Garurumon, Vani and Tailmon got on Pegasusmon, and Vani and Falcomon got on Gargoylemon.

"Amateur kids." Riku, the boy on the Gaiomon said.

"We'll make use of this trash." Gaiomon said.

GAIOMON – ULTIMATE LEVEL – DRAGON MAN TYPE – VIRUS TYPE

"Hey, be nice!" Vani said to Riku, and then looked down to Pegasusmon. "Don't worry Pegasusmon, we'll beat him."

PEGASUSMON – ADULT LEVEL – HOLY BEAST TYPE – VACCINE ATTRIBUTE

"He's not who I'm worried about." Pegasusmon neighed.

"What do you mean?" Vani asked.

"Hey, what's he talking about?" Kenji asked Garurumon.

GARURUMON – ADULT LEVEL – BEAST TYPE – VACCINE ATTRIBUTE

"There's another Tamer that always wins these races." Garurumon said. "He's had so many victories; we all call him the V-Tamer…V for victory."

"We always try, but his digimon is legendary." Ivan, the Tamer with Stegomon, said.

STEGOMON – ADULT LEVEL – BLADED DRAGON TYPE – DATA ATTRIBUTE

"Ivan…" Stegomon said. "The wind is picking up…he's coming." A gust of wind appeared and everyone covered their eyes. Ryuu put his goggles on over his eyes and opened his eyes to see the appearance of a spiky brown haired boy, riding the back of an AeroVeedramon. He had a blue shirt on with chocolate brown shorts and atop his head were a pair of goggles.

AEROVEEDRAMON – PERFECT LEVEL – HOLY DRAGON TYPE – VACCINE ATTRIBUTE

"That's…" Ryuu gasped. "Yagami Taichi!"

"Hello, once again!" Taichi said as he jumped off of his partner's back onto the ground. "You guys remember, Zero, right?"

"It's great to be back!" Zero roared.

"I read about you!" Ryuu shouted. "You were in Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, you were the one that slayed the Demon Lord and Arkadimon!"

"Ahh, memories." Taichi sighed. "Now, we're going to be masters of the Great Digimon Race!"

"Not this time!" Ryuu shouted. Taichi glanced at him. "This is a one-on-one battle of dragon racing, and me and Dracomon are going to win!"

"Yeah, I like your attitude!" Taichi shouted, and he and Ryuu grasped each other's hands. "It'll be the Goggleheaded Race!"

"Uh…we're here too, ya know." Kenji said.

"Kenji is afflicted…" Leormon said.

"ALRIGHT, ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!" a voice shouted from above, and everyone looked up to see a Justimon with a microphone, flying in the sky.

JUSTIMON – ULTIMATE LEVEL – CYBORG TYPE – DATA ATTRIBUTE

"Welcome to the 4th Annual Great Digimon Race!" Justimon cried. "I'm your host, Justimon, and it's almost time for the race to begin! Racers, get ready!"

"Suit up, Dracomon." Ryuu said, as Dracomon nodded.

EVOLUTION

"Dracomon digivolve to…"

"Coredramon!"

Coredramon took Dracomon's place and Taichi and Zero stood in awe.

"Nice one." Taichi said. "I'll stick with this Zero, here." Without warning, Taichi and Zero wrapped their arms around each other and started spinning around and dancing together.

"Wow…" Everyone except Ryuu and Coredramon sweat-dropped. "Is he really someone of the 21st Century?"

"3…2…1…GO!" Justimon called as all of the digimon took off on the race course.

Ryuu and Taichi were decked out in the front, neck and neck, as their dragons soared across the race track.

"Goggleheads…" Keiko sighed.

"Get out of my way, trash!" Riku shouted as Gaiomon's blades were shining.

"Rinkageki!"

Two electric bolts struck both Gargoylemon and Pegasusmon, and they tumbled onto the ground, weakened.

"Hey, you cheater!" Vani cried.

"Yeah, that's right…" Gaiomon sneered. "And don't you forget it…"

"Is this the end?" Pegasusmon asked.

"No, of course not!" Tailmon said.

"The four of us will take down that cheater, once and for all!" Vani said, as she, Tailmon, Keiko, and Falcomon nodded.

EVOLUTION

"Falcomon digivolve to…"

"Diatrymon!"

"Holy Ring, Full Charge!"

PERFECT EVOLUTION

"Tailmon digivolve to…"

"Angewomon!"

Angewomon, Diatrymon, Pegasusmon, and Gargoylemon all took off after Riku and Gaiomon.

"We're not finished yet!" Vani called from on top of Angewomon. Riku and Gaiomon turned to see them approaching.

"Oh, please." Riku laughed. "Gaiomon, take them down!"

"Gaia Reactor!"

Explosions in the sky randomly occurred, blasting the group back a bit.

"That was so powerful…" Angewomon said. "I forgot that Gaiomon's an Ultimate Level Digimon…"

"We'll he's also a Virus type." Vani said. "And you're a Virus Buster!"

"Holy Arrow!"

"Silver Blaze!"

The two attacks combined into one emerald streak of light and their combined powers were able to blast Gaiomon on his back.

"Ready, Ivan? Stegomon?" Keiko asked on Diatrymon's back.

"Let's do this!" Ivan and Stegomon both roared.

"Destruction Roar!"

"Guillotine Wheel!"

Both Riku and Gaiomon turned around to get knocked down by both attacks.

"You bastard…!" Riku swore. "Finish 'em, Gaiomon!"

"Yeah!" Gaoimon yelled. "You won't take down the rival of VictoryGreymon!"

"Rinkazan!"

With one strike, Gaiomon cut Diatrymon completely in half, and his eyes widened along with Keiko's.

"DIATRYMON!!!"

A black mist covered both Keiko and Diatrymon's body, and Diatrymon's body was completely resealed, and Diatrymon's claws on his feet began to gather energy.

"Mikafutso no Kami!"

A large voltage of energy was blasted out of Diatrymon's claws and as it hit him, it blasted both Riku and Gaiomon into the sky, far away from here.

"Keiko…Diatrymon…" Vani said as she and Angewomon landed on the ground with Pegasusmon and Stegomon. "What was that?"

"We're one step closer to evolution." Diatrymon said.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Meanwhile, Ryuu and Taichi, still competing for the race, were flying high in the sky towards the finish line.

"Your title as the best ends here!" Ryuu shouted.

"Au contraire." Taichi laughed as Zeromaru flew in front of him.

"V-Breath Arrow!"

Zero blasted Coredramon with a V-shaped laser emitting from his mouth.

"G Shurunen II!"

Coredramon's laser and Zero's laser were equally strong, and neither one was budging from their spots.

"Now, Zero!" Taichi shouted. "Hurry, so we can go to win the race!"

"Right!" Zero shouted as his body began to shine.

"Dragon Impulse!"

Zero surrounded himself in an aura of energy in the shape of a dragon, and he flew towards Coredramon.

"Ryuu, that attack is too strong!" Coredramon shouted. "I won't be able to destroy it!"

"Maybe Coredramon won't…" Ryuu snickered as Digisoul appeared around him. "But Wingdramon can!"

"Dramon Breaker, Victory Charge!"

PERFECT EVOLUTION

"Coredramon digivolve to…"

"Wingdramon!"

"Show him why you're the only Sky Dragon, Wingdramon!" Ryuu shouted.

"Blaze Sonic Breath!"

The two attacks colllided with each other and a big explosion occurred, sending Taichi and Zero, as well as Ryuu and Dracomon, to the ground.

"Ha! You lost!" Taichi shouted, grabbing Zero's tail and propelling himself back onto his back. "You'll never beat me!" Zero stuck his tongue out as they flew away.

"Damn it…" Ryuu cursed as he punched the ground.

"What do we do now, Ryuu?" Dracomon asked. "We can't let Taichi win this!"

"We'll just have to win it ourselves!" Ryuu smirked, taking out his digivice. "It's fightin' time!"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

At the finish line, the Digi-kids, along with their digimon, were at the Finish Line, awaiting the victor of the race, along with the large crowd of digimon spectators.

"Well, that was fun." Kenji said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Why did I come back with you guys?"

"The real race was with Ryuu and Taichi." Vani said, with Tailmon nodding in agreement.

"It was a real dragon race, after all." Tailmon summed up.

"I'm just glad we won't have to see that punk Riku anymore." Keiko said.

"Yeah, but…" Leormon said, looking at both Keiko and Falcomon. "You two almost achieved Perfect Evolution without the use of your D-Disk. That's impressive."

"That was awesome!" Vani cheered. "You two are going to evolve next chapter, I can feel it!"

"Hey, someone's coming!" Tailmon pointed out. Everyone turned to see Taichi and Zero flying towards the Finish Line.

"Oh no!" Vani said worryingly. "It's Taichi! Then, where's Ryuu?"

'Heh." Taichi laughed. "I almost feel sorry for the kid…"

"WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!!" Ryuu shouted from behind him atop Wingdramon, who was speeding towards him at the speed of light.

"Ryuu…" Vani smiled.

"Does the Digital World even render that speed?" Leormon gasped.

"Explode Sonic Lance!"

Wingdramon flew up into the air and performed a nose-dive and sped down towards both Taichi and Zero.

"He's so fast!" Zero gasped.

"Final strike!" Ryuu yelled.

"Wing Blast!"

The shockwaves knocked both Taichi and Zero into the air and they landed on the ground a few feet away.

"Ryuu's gonna win!" Vani cheered. As the crowd went wild, Ryuu and Wingdramon soared across the Finish Line, and Wingdramon degenerated back into Dracomon.

"…and Hachiro Ryuu and his Dracomon are the winners!" Justimon shouted, flying back from the stands.

"Hey, where were you?!" Ryuu asked.

"Yeah, weren't you supposed to be watching the entire race?" Dracomon asked.

"Uh…I was busy." Justimon said. He turned around and gave the "call-me" sign to a Sakuyamon in the crowds, who chucked and nodded.

SAKUYAMON – ULTIMATE LEVEL – GOD MAN TYPE – DATA ATTRIBUTE

"Wow…" All of the Digi-Kids sweatdropped as Justimon gave Ryuu his trophy, which was in the shape of two digimon back-to-back.

"Who are these guys?" Ryuu asked.

"Legend says they are the two fastest digimon in the entire Digital World." Justimon explained. "The one on the left is UlforceVeedramon of the Royal Knights, and the one on the right is Merukimon of the Olympius Twelve."

"Maybe we'll meet them someday, Ryuu." Dracomon said.

"It's unlikely." Justimon said. "The Royal Knights are the highest-ranked security of the Digital World, and the Olympius Twelve are noble gods. They won't have time for a boy and his pet dragon."

"Hey!" Keiko said, as she and the rest of the Digi-kids ran towards Ryuu, Dracomon, and Justimon. Vani hugged Ryuu as a congratulatory for winning. "Isn't there a Trailmon service to the land of the Wind Guardians for winning?"

"I believe you may have this mistaken." Justimon said. "There is no Trailmon service."

"You've gotta be kidding." Keiko said, disappointedly.

"It's actually a Locomon who transports digimon to the Wind Guardians." Justimon said, and as if on cue, Locomon rode up towards them.

LOCOMON – PERFECT LEVEL – MACHINE TYPE – DATA ATTRIBUTE

"I wanna run." Locomon hummed. "I wanna keep on'a runnin'."

"Ugh, he hasn't stopped saying that since he returned from that world…" Justimon sighed.

"Everyone get on board." Locomon said.

"All right, let's do this!" Ryuu shouted.

"Yeah!" Keiko and Falcomon cheered. "Once we get the D-Disk, Perfect Evolution will cease being a dream!" The Digi-Kids boarded Locomon, and he immediately set off.

"I spread into a Digi-zone of fire…" Locomon sang.

TO BE CONTINUED…

NEXT TIME ON DIGIMON D-TAMER

"Is this the Wind Guardians haven?"

"Ryuu, there's a holy barrier protecting the place!"

"Ahh, so that's how GranDracmon and his army haven't gotten to it yet!"

"GranDracmon-sama, they're getting stronger. What should we do?"

"I'll take matters into my own hands."

"Hey, who's this Matadormon guy?!"

"He says he's going to suck our blood until we reach Hell!"

"We're not going to let that happen! Falcomon, evolve!"

"Haguro, Full Charge!"

"Falcomon evolved?"

"It's the Bewitching Bird, Yatagaramon!"
