Digimon Tamers: Rika's AU
Chapter 14: The Egg Hunt
It was a peaceful day. A Digimon hasn't Bio-Emerged in a while; so this gave Rika and Takato some time to visit Henry. Although Suzie doesn't know about real Digimon yet, so she was playing with Terriermon and Viximon thinking their dolls; Rika was a little nervous in case Suzie does something to make Viximon react. But so far, the only thing Suzie has done was dress them up; Rika, Takato and Henry were talking from the dining room while Suzie was in the other room, this way Rika can keep an eye on Viximon.
"Does Suzie do that often?" asked Rika watching them from the corner of her eye.
"She does it to every doll she owns…including Terriermon… which is pretty funny to see the look on his face." said Henry pulling a small smile.
"Imagine if she tried to dress up Guilmon." said Takato, he couldn't help but let off a slight chuckle.
"She'd be lucky enough to find cloths that fit Guilmon." chuckled Henry.
"Do you think we should tell her about real Digimon?" asked Takato facing Henry.
"Not a good idea. Suzie loves to tell people information she finds out… as soon as 'real Digimon' reaches her ears. She'll be telling everyone she sees." said Henry facing Takato.
"Good point."
"I remember Thomas telling us Jeri will be a Tamer soon." said Rika "I wodner if Suzie will become the same?"
"She is a bit young for that, but if I see Thomas I'll ask what the chances are." said Henry.
Suddenly their Digivices began to beep indicating another Digimon has Bio-Emerged.
"Well… its time to send another Digimon back home." said Rika.
After getting Terriermon and Viximon away from Suzie (somehow). Rika, Takato and Henry were walking to the park to pick up Guilmon; to their surprise they saw someone digging into the bushes, only his legs could be seen; but they recognised his voice as soon as he yelled out. "OW! Damn thorns!"
"Thomas?" Rika asked.
Thomas pulled himself out of the bushes holding a strange object. It was a white and purple shaped item with a grey cross through it. And on his back was a huge bag which doesn't seem to contain much. "Hey guys." he said in his typical serious tone.
"What's that thing in your hand?" asked Takato pointing to it.
"Oh this…? It's an Armour Digi-Egg." said Thomas holding it up slightly. Basically it allows certain Digimon to Armour Digivolve. I believe you've heard of Armour Digivolution.
"Well yeah but… aren't they suppose to be legendary one of a kind items or something?" asked Rika tilting her head slightly.
"In fiction yes. But in reality they're as common as books… Digimon farmers such as myself keep a ton of these eggs for experimental Digivolution." said Thomas as he places the Armour Egg in the bag.
"Cool! Am I able to Armour Digivolve?" asked the excited Terriermon.
"I haven't tested your type yet. But right now I'm getting them back." said Thomas, that time he sounded somewhat annoyed.
"What happened?" asked Takato.
"Three of my Digimon back at the farm grew a little mischief, they began to mess around in my lab and they warped themselves to the human world along with nine different Armour Digi-Eggs. so I'm trying to get the eggs back and find those mischievous Digimon." said Thomas.
"I guess that explains our Digivices going off. How many have you got?" asked Rika.
"So far five. I've got the Digi-Eggs of Reliability, Courage, Knowledge, Hope and Light. I'm missing the Digi-Eggs of Friendship, Love, Sincerity and Kindness.
"Can we help?" asked Viximon looking excited.
"We might as well. That is if you don't mind." said Rika.
"I don't see why not… I know their locations so it can shorten the amount of time to find them." said Thomas.
"Great, so where are they?" asked Henry.
Thomas took out his Digivice and looked at it "Lets see… one is in Guilmon's home so I can get that, one is in the kids playground just next to the park, one is by the junkyard, and the last one is in the streets just east from here. I can set your Digivices to search for the Digi-Eggs. You'll know when you've found one."
After that, the Digivices were set and each Tamer went to look for the remaining Digi-Eggs; Henry was in the kids park, he looked at his Digivice carefully until he found himself not far from a tree, he looked up and there he saw the Digi-Egg of Kindness, it was simply shaped like the head of a rose. Henry took Terriermon off of his shoulder and began to climb up the tree, as he reached for the Digi-Egg, he noticed a squirrel climb down onto the same branch the Digi Egg was on and it stared at Henry for a bit.
"Um… hello?" muttered Henry. He liked squirrels but seeing one stared at him somehow gave him a bad feeling.
He was right, suddenly an entire mob of squirrels jumped down and tackled Henry onto the ground and began to attack him. Terriermon couldn't help but roll on the ground laughing.
Meanwhile, Takato was on one side of the street, he noticed the Digi-Egg of Love which was silver, had bladed wins and a heart crest on it. Unfortunately it was in the middle of an extremely busy road; cars shot from left to right like bullets; Takato was waiting by the zebra crossing where the Digi-Egg was, he pressed the traffic button at least two thousand times and the cars still show no sign of slowing down, in fact they looked as if they sped up. "Yyyeah…. I'm gonna be here for a while… unless…" Takato looks around for anything that could help him cross the street.
Meanwhile Rika had just entered the junkyard; she noticed in the middle of a huge pile was the Digi-Egg of Friendship, it was long and was blue and black, it also had a spike on the front. Rika placed Viximon down near the pile. "Stay here Ok?"
Viximon nodded before Rika began to climb the trash. Luckily the Digi-Egg wasn't very high up so Rika didn't have to climb far, which was a relief as the horrible smell of the junk was burning Rika's nose, but obviously she couldn't plug it since she needs both her hands to climb.
As Rika made it to the Digi-Egg, she grabbed it with one hand and slowly pulled at it, hoping not to pull too hard and ending up falling back. She was finally able to pull it out, and she quickly climbed down where she saw Viximon jumping for joy. "You did it!"
"Yeah... That wasn't so bad." Suddenly their smiles soon turned to shock as they began to hear a rumble, they then looked up at the pile of trash Rika climbed up on. Unfortunately that Digi-Egg was the pile of trash's 'key stone' "Oh CRAP!"
Later on; Takato, Henry and Rika made it back to the park and were heading towards Guilmon's home with their Digi-Eggs successfully obtain. Takato had a rope around his right shoulder to his waist, Rika and Viximon were emitting a strong smell of garbage and rotten stuff, and Henry had bite marks all over him. Rika and Takato looked at Henry, and Terriermon who was giggling.
"So… what happened to you?" asked Rika who felt awkward seeing Henry like that.
"I don't wanna talk about it." said Henry who looked away.
"And what about you Rika?" asked Takato.
"I kinda don't wanna talk about it either." said Rika who looked away as well.
"I could use a bath." mumbled the upset looking Viximon.
"Wow… I guess my luck went a bit smoother." said Takato smiling a bit.
"So what's with the rope around you?" asked Henry looking back to Takato.
"Oh that… well I couldn't get across the street… so I went for a smarter plan." said Takato moving the rope up.
Rika began to picture what he meant. She's guessing Takato pulled the Digi-Egg in using that rope as a lasso.
As they arrived at Guilmon's home, they noticed Thomas and Guilmon; Guilmon was lying on his back while Thomas was taking deep breaths. Before anyone could ask, Thomas pile drove his elbow into Guilmon's gut causing him to spit out something green and had a ninja star under it, it was the Digi-Egg of Sincerity. Thomas then catches it before it lands on the ground. But he had the look of disgust in his face, which was no surprise, considering its covered in Guilmon's saliva and stomach acid. "Ok, Takato…? Don't ever let anything as important as these near Guilmon while he's hungry."
"R-Right… sorry."
After that, Rika, Takato and Henry placed the four Digi-Eggs into Thomas's bag. "That's all of them. Now alls left is the Bio-Emerged Digimon-"
Suddenly three small creatures rammed themselves into Thomas knocking him down. Because of that, the Digi-Eggs of Friendship, Sincerity and Kindness fell out of the bag; suddenly the creatures picked them up revealing themselves as a Veemon, a Hawkmon and an Armadillomon. They quickly ran off.
Thomas slowly got up grunting a bit in pain "Those are the Digimon that scattered the Digi-Eggs in the first place." Thomas quickly gets up and holds onto the bag. "I can't risk any more Digi-Eggs being separated again. Can you get those stolen ones back while I return these back to my farm?"
"No problem." said Takato giving him the thumbs up.
"Thanks." After that, Thomas disappeared in a binary of light as Rika, Takato and Henry dashed off to find the three Digimon.
"Viximon, you better Digivolve just in case." said Rika.
"Right!"
After that, Rika threw Viximon into the air and immediately Digivolved into Renamon who landed down gracefully and ran with the others. As they bolted around the corner where the three Digimon ran to, they came across a large open area; Veemon was holding the Digi-Egg of Sincerity, Hawkmon was holding the Digi-Egg of Friendship and Armadillomon was holding the Digi-Egg of Kindness.
"Ok you three. Its time to return home now." said Rika looking annoyed.
"Its time for you to go home, now please put the Digi-Eggs down." said Takato.
The three Digimon just smirked. Suddenly the three Digi-Egg's began to glow; then the three Digimon were encased in digitized eggs shaped like the Digi-Eggs there were holding.
"Uh-oh!" muttered Guilmon.
"They're Armour Digivolving!?" exclaimed Rika.
"Quick! You gotta Digivolve too!" said the panicked Henry.
ARMOUR DIGIVOLUTION
DIGIVOLUTION
"Veemon Armour Digivolve to…"
"Renamon Digivolve to…"
"Hawkmon Armour Digivolve to…"
"Guilmon Digivolve to…"
"Armadillomon Armour Digivolve to…"
"Terriermon Digivolve to…"
After a huge shockwave. The six newly Digivolved Digimon appeared. Veemon was now an unusual warrior Digimon with wooden swords and a white mask, Hawkmon was a blue spiky warrior like Digimon with blades on his feet and Armadillomon was now a chameleon wearing a war helmet and armour
Yasyamon!"
"Rinkmon!"
"Chameleonmon!"
"Kyubimon!"
"Growlmon!"
"Gargomon!"
The six Digimon faced each other. These were definitely new types of Armour Digivolutions Rika wasn't aware of, mostly because these three Digimon never used these Digi-Eggs in the anime she used to watch.
Suddenly the six Digimon charged at each other and a vicious war broke out. A barrage of Gargo Lasers, multiple blue fireballs and giant red fireballs shot everywhere against Yasyamon's psychic shockwave attacks, Rinkmon's blue energy beams and Chameleonmon's tongue attacks. The Tamers were able to dodge the attacks and hide behind a small stone wall, it was tall enough to keep them safe, but short enough for them to watch from over the wall.
From what it looked like, their Digimon was winning; it was natural really since their Digimon has had practice with their Digivolutions while the intruding Digimon went into their armour forms for the first time. Suddenly after a huge explosion from a combination of all six attacks, the Digimon were scattered and on the ground hurt. It was a tie; the Tamers ran up to their Digimon.
"Kyubimon! Are you alright?!"
"I… I think so."
"How're you doing Growlmon!?"
"I'm ok…"
"You ok Gargomon!?"
"I'm ok… I think."
After that, Kyubimon, Growlmon and Gargomon slowly stood up along with the Armour Digimon. But just as Yasyamon, Rinkmon and Chameleonmon were about to fight again, they quickly collapsed onto the ground knocked out; then the quickly Degenerated back into Veemon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon as the Digi-Eggs used for the Digivolutions fell out of them.
Soon Kyubimon, Growlmon and Gargomon Degenerated back into Viximon, Guilmon and Terriermon, knowing there's no need to keep their Digivolutions on anymore; they all sighed with relief. Then after that, Thomas and DemiDevimon arrived with a small sack. "Thanks for your help. Maybe now these little guys will behave."
"No problem… just don't expect us to go egg hunting again." said Rika
DemiDevimon placed the Digi-Eggs in the sack and lifted it up easily; then Thomas walked up to the Digimon and picked all three of them up.
"Sorry if these guys gave you any trouble." said DemiDevimon.
"It wasn't too much trouble." said Viximon as she bounced into Rika's arms.
"Yep. Fighting Digimon that enter the human world is our job!" said Terriermon as he jumped into Henry's arms.
"And eating bread!" said Guilmon, he then jumped into Takato's arms, but not understand his size and weight which caused Takato to fall onto his back with Guilmon sitting on him. Rika couldn't help but let out a smirk.
"So what will you do with them?" asked Rika.
"These guys are going back to my farm, where they should be." said Thomas looking down at the insomnious Digimon "I can't punish them too much, they've only hatched a week ago so they're technically only infants. Besides, your Digimon beating them up was punishable enough… I'll see you guys later." After that, Thomas and DemiDevimon disappeared in a binary of light.
The Tamers walked off readying to go home after Takato was able to get Guilmon off of him. "I better give Terriermon back to Suzie… that way she'll whine less." said Henry, "Plus I need a nap."
"I hope she doesn't put a diaper on me!" said the worried Terriermon.
"And I need a lunch break. I'm starving." moaned Takato.
"Me too!" said the jolly Guilmon.
"I just need to get home and rest." said Rika. After that, Takato, Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon looked at Rika with a smirk. "What?"
"And a bath! You smell of garbage!" all four of them said.
Rika was confused but then she remembered, she did get piled on by garbage in the junkyard, she then just looks away feeling a little embarrassed. After that the three went their separate ways to go home.
