Delfim: What's up, readers?
Laurelene: A new chapter has been written, just for you.
Delfim: Hey, I am the one that says that! Don't go around stealing my lines!
Laurelene: Whatever, Delfim.
Delfim: Anyway, I know that maybe I have left Impmon out a bit, but the parts I did weren't really important. Or at least I didn't find them important. But, this chapter will have more of Impmon again.
Laurelene: Why do people like Impmon? I mean, he is nasty, and weak.
Delfim: Don't be so cruel. He also had a traumatic experience in his life that screwed him up!
Laurelene: Well I suffer traumatic experiences with you all the time! And I don't go around saying "Hey losers, you are a bunch of whiny babies!"
Delfim: You are right, but you don't because of 3 things: First, you only have me and the readers to talk to, and you don't hate either. Second: although you are a dark, viral digimon you are still a loving digimon. Third, the sex I have with you now and then is good enough to keep you satisfied.
Laurelene: Got me with that one.
Delfim: Indeed I did.
Chapter 23 Anyone for a Motorbike Rodeo?
The tamers were desperate. Ever since they had lost Delfim, Laurelene, Rika, Hilda, Kazu and Kenta, they had been at a loss of what to do. They tried to search for them, but wherever they ended, it was not on that sector.
Takato looked at the beams. "Say, Leomon. You know more about these beams then I do, could we use one to reach them?"
"No!" yelled Leomon. "You see, there is no guarantee we would be sent to the same place. It's best we think of another option."
"Huh, terrific." Complained Henry. "We are supposed to be searching for Calumon, not each other."
"Well, maybe they will find him first! Momantai!" said Terriermon, trying to raise the spirit of the group.
Jerry suddenly collapsed, drawing the attention from the others. "What is wrong, Jerry?"
"I'm just kind of tired, that is all." Said Jerry.
"I'm not surprised, we have been walking our butts off!" said Takato. "Hey, why don't we take a break?"
"Uh oh! You better not get comfy just yet." Said Terriermon as he pointed to a place filled with weird joining of junk and dirt that resembled houses. "Jeez, that village looks like a petrified bubble bath if you ask me!"
"Nonetheless, we should see if there are any locals, maybe we can rest here, get some provisions, and then continue." Said Axel.
Everyone nodded and walked off. As they did, Axel noticed the gloomy look on Dorumon's face. "Hey, buddy. What is up?" asked Axel.
Dorumon looked up. "It's just… ever since we got to Japan, me and Hilda had never been separated. Not even when we really didn't care for each other. But now… I fell hollow. I… I just hope she is alright, wherever she is."
Axel nodded. "Yeah, me too. But you now our girls, Rika could make a Tyranomon run and cry like a baby just with a glare. And if that isn't enough, Hilda will tear it a new asshole. Besides, they have Delfim and Laurelene, they are fine."
"Yeah, and Kazu and Kenta! That is why I'm worried, they were the reason we got separated in the first place. What if they did something again? What if they… What if…" Said Dorumon very fast, making Axel laugh.
"Dorumon, calm down. We just have to believe that those two are alright and keep going till we find them. Chances are, when we do meet with them, they already have Calumon and are complaining about us taking too long."
Dorumon laughed. Then he turned to Axel. "Thanks Axel. I mean it."
"Hey, what are partners for?" asked Axel in a mocking voice. "That is right, to hear your complains and moans. Now come on, we have to meet with the others." And with that, oth human and digimon ran to the others as they explored the strange village.
As they explored, they noticed some weird things. First, there was a large concentration of old data balls around the village. Second, some of the houses were completely destroyed, like an earthquake had happened, yet the houses around those seemed mostly fine. Third, there was no one around. Fourth, the houses were pilings of dirt and junk, which was weird in itself.
"Man, I can see why no one is hanging around." Said Takato. "It isn't exactly what you would call one of the world's most beautiful vacation spots."
Jerry put her hands around her mouth and yelled "Whoever is there, COME OUT NOW!" The sheer volume startling the others.
Takato sweatdropped. "Huh, you sure get loud when you are tired."
Henry wasn't paying attention to that, however. He was looking at the ground intensively. Specifically to tire like marks. "These marks… they look like they were made by a… bike?"
Suddenly, a strange noise became louder and louder. The sound… of a motorbike. When they looked to the left, there it was. A red Motorbike with silver metal plates and NO DRIVER!
"It's coming right at us!" Yelled Axel. "MOVE!"
And everybody did. But as soon as the bike passed through them, it turned around to charge again.
"Oh come on, what did we ever do to you?" asked Takato to the bike.
"It doesn't have any driver, how does it know where we are?" asked Jerry frightened.
"That doesn't matter, we need to move NOW!" yelled Axel.
"I agree!" yelled Henry. "Let's separate, so we can throw it off track!"
With no other plan, they quickly did as Henry suggested. As they did, Terriermon couldn't hold it and yelled "Where is the stop sign when you really need it!"
Unfortunately for Guilmon and Takato, the bike went right after them. Guilmon looked back and said "Don't look now, but I think it likes us best!"
Takato looked back and saw the monster coming at them. "Great! And I thought this day couldn't get any better."
They started running like mad men. But no matter how much one runs, there is no way he can beat a bike in the long run. As they were nearing a house, what looked like a door opened and what could be described as a brow teddy bear came out.
Frightened by the sudden appearance, Takato and Guilmon jumped each to a different side, leaving the bike to pass between them and towards the poor teddy bear. The digimon started screaming in fear… before Leomon appeared and save it's ass.
The bike, however, didn't stay idle and ran through, breaking the house and killing some of the teddy-like digimons. Then it went off, disappearing in the distance.
As the tamers reunited and stopped to catch their breath, the houses' doors started opening, revealing more and more teddy bears. As the tamers watched in awe at them, Terriermon had to be Terriermon. "Jeez, someone needs a new cookie cutter."
They were soon surrounded by these strange digimons. As the others were to nervous at the way these digimons were staring at them, Axel pulled his digivice. "Okay, name is Chuchidarumon, Champion level digimon with a tendency to… stare?" as Axel said that, Dorumon slapped his own face. "That explains it."
From the amidst the crowd, a more elder looking Chuchidarumon came forward. He stared at them for a brief moment, then said "Greetings and salutations."
The tamers stared at him, not knowing what to say.
*********A few moments later**********
They were all sitting at Chuchidarumon's house, a plate filled with black bread-like balls on the table. Chuchidarumon then said "Thank you for saving one of our villagers from that terrible metal beast. Oh please, accept some refreshment. We don't have much in terms of food around here, but what we have, it's yours."
Everyone looked suspiciously at the black balls in the table… except for Jerry, Axel and Dorumon, who really didn't care what was the look of their food, as long as it was good.
"We appreciate the gesture but… huh…" said Takato, not sure how to put it. He looked at Henry who caught his friend's problem and said "It may not be for people."
Suddenly, the three already eating persons moaned at the taste."What are you guys talking about, this is amazing." Said Axel.
"Yeah, it is really good." Said Jerry.
"I will have another please!" said Dorumon.
Takato and Henry looked at the three and saw how their faces were covered in dark because of the food, which made them sweatdrop.
"If you say so…" said Takato, chuckling nervously.
***********With Impmon*************
Impmon was tired. After he had fell from Godramon knows where, he found himself stumbling through the densest fog ever in history. He was tired of walking aimlessly.
"Where am I? It's like Fog City around here." Said Impmon as he looked around. "Typical, mother nature hates me, even in the digimon world. My life stinks."
Frustrated, Impmon yelled to the sky. As if answering to his yell, a shadow appeared in the mist. Impmon looked at it suspiciously. "Are you a digimon?" then he became angry and forgetting his previous tiredness, ran to the shadow. "Okay buddy, what's the deal? Who do you think you are?"
As he came closer to the shadow, the image of a dog wearing blue armor appeared. "Huh, nice costume." Said Impmon, getting no response from the digimon. "You are going to pull me a bone here, pall, or are you just gona stare at me all day?" again, no response. "Hum, must be a statue."
"You want to become strong, don't you?" said the dog, scaring the crap of Impmon.
"Okay, so you are a digimon after all, doesn't mean you have to scare me!" yelled Impmon.
"I know a lot about you that you don't realize, my friend." Said the dog digimon. "I can help you digivolve, if that is what you want. It's very simple."
"Did you scramble your brains for breakfast? What are you talking about?" asked Impmon.
The dog digimon only stared.
*********In the digimon village with part of the tamers*******
"hey, you are making my feet all tickly!" said Guilmon as he played with a Chuchidarumon in its foot like it was a ball, rolling it around. The others had finished their meals and Jerry was sleeping in a hanged bed.
"Hey, thanks for the food, it really was delicious." Said Takato. Henry nodded while Axel had put some in his backpack.
"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it." Said the elder Chuchidarumon.
"I don't mean to be rude, but aren't you putting the village in danger by associating with humans?" asked Henry, nervous.
"Huh? I don't understand what you are talking about." Said the elder Chuchidarumon.
"Where have you been? The digimon dark ages? We are talking about the Devas! There has been a run of them lately!" said Terriermon.
"Devas?" said the elder as he thought to himself. "I am sorry but… I never heard of them! I wouldn't worry, though. This is the Forgotten Village of Discarded Data. Nobody cares about what happens to us, I'm afraid."
"That may be true." Said Leomon. "But what about the metal beast? Or whatever that was…"
"It's a motorbike! Still, how can a machine that big be controlled without a driver?" said Henry.
"Maybe it as a ghost possessing it! Huuh!" said Dorumon.
"Get real." Said Axel. "It may have some computer programming, though it would have to be pretty advanced and very well structured to work that well. What do you think Chuchidarumon?"
"Well, we don't know what it is or where it came from. It just appeared one day out of nowhere and started wreaking havoc in our village." Said the elder.
"What? Are you saying all that damage outside is caused by a wacko bike?" yelled Takato, getting a "Shiu" from Leomon as he pointed to Jerry, who continued sleeping silently.
"Yes. When the beast is on the prowl, our homes are destroyed and our people are at risk. If only we knew what it wanted… There are some who say it must be searching for a rider, but who in the village would be strong enough to tame it!" said the elder sadly.
"But you can't let it pile you down!" said Takato.
"That is right! Now let's go outside and smash it!" yelled Terriermon.
"Terriermon!" said Henry firmly.
"What?" asked Terriermon pathetically.
"You can't put your friends in peril, you must stand up to that bike once and for all!" said Leomon, trying to encourage the Chuchidarumon.
"Yeah, otherwise… there won't be any of you left." Said Takato, though the elder just stared at them. "Okay, here is an idea, pack up your domes and move to another place."
"Yeah, we can even help out!" said Axel. "Dorugamon, Growlmon, Leomon and Gargomon can move the heavier stuff, we can help with the lighter one. We could move the city in no time!"
"Let's just smash it!" yelled Terriermon.
"TERRIERMON!" shouted Henry.
Terriermon just grumbled to himself.
"We lived here all our lives. We were created by discarded data and the sole reason for our existence is storing this information. Though we are lost and forgotten, this village is our birthright." Said Chuchidarumon in a firm voice.
"You can't just stay here and let that maniacal machine run all over you!" pleaded Takato. That is, until he felt Henry tapping on Takato's shoulder.
"Can I see you outside?" with a nod from Takato, Henry turned and asked Axel to come along.
Once outside, Henry turned to Takato and said "Look Takato, this people have their own way of doing things, I don't think that we, as outsiders, should tell them what to do. They don't want to move so don't push it. I mean, it is their decision. After all."
"Are you serious, Henry?" asked Axel. "Are you going to abandon them after their generosity and hospitality?"
"Well… what about Calumon? What about the others? Are you going to abandon them?" asked Henry.
"Don't be ridiculous. They are fine. Rika and Delfim can take care of themselves." Said Axel.
"You sure, or you wish they can? They may be good tamers but this is the digital world! Besides what about Calumon? He is alone, probably with Makuramon and whatever that big red shadow was that day he was kidnapped. You want to leave him to his fate?" asked Henry.
Takato then turned to look where Guilmon and a bunch of baby Chuchidarumon's were playing. "What about those little guys? We can't just let that deranged bike turn them into data debris." Both Axel and Henry turned to Takato. "And I WON'T! I got to help them out!"
Henry was shocked. Axel smiled. Terriermon then said "It's weird, but I actually agree with Takato." Henry looked to his own partner, not knowing what to say.
********With Calumon**********
Calumon was walking through what looked like a forest of purple trees with no leaves. The floor was filled with numbers of all colors and sizes. However, he wasn't really happy about said place. "I wish the tree could talk… they could tell me where everybody is." He then sighed sadly. "It feels kinda yacky." He said as he then looked up to the real world. "Why is it that way? Being alone makes my face all wet."
*******With Impmon*******
"So I suppose you are a Deva?" asked Impmon.
"Yes, I'm a devoted servant of the Sovereign. Your life with humans is a waste of time. I can show you how you can achieve your full potential." Said the dog digimon.
"Why should I trust a big ugly mutt like you? And just so you know, I hate humans!" yelled Impmon.
Is that so? Thought the digimon as he looked at Impmon. "I suspect that you really do care for them."
This startled Impmon. "You don't know anything about me!"
The dog digimon didn't answer. Instead his eyes shinned and Impmon was hit with a beam of light. When he could finally open his eyes he gasped. "This… this is my old house!"
And indeed it was. He looked around in awe. The place was the same as he remembered. And if he wasn't wrong, Ai and Mako should be on the back!
And there they were, playing together. Impmon gasped as he saw them. Happy to see his old friends, he yelled "Hey, guess who is back!"
Both Ai and Mako turned around slowly. Impmon got a bit nervous as they stare at him in confusion. But as their faces broke into smiles, so did his. Then the two children ran towards him, with him doing the same towards them. The moment he was about to hug them, however, he passed right through them
As he turned to see what happened, he saw an image that broke his heart: Ai and Mako didn't run to him, but to their father who had a little puppy in his hands. And by the look of things, they were fighting over him like they used to with him.
As the image faded around him, he was vaguely aware of the dog digimon saying "You see how easy you are forgotten?" Impmon turned to see that he was once again in front of the dog digimon from before. "You simply have no place in their world. We are the only real family you have."
Impmon fell on his knees, not knowing what to say.
*********In a place near the tamers area*******
A motorbike sound was heard in the middle of a fissure. It became louder and louder, before the bike came out of it. Time to hunt again.
The only warning the tamers had that something was wrong was the yelling and screaming of Chuchidarumon and the violent shakes. They didn't need an expert on the digital world to now that was the freaking bike again.
Guilmon was helping the Chuchidarumon evacuate while the tamers prepared themselves.
"Terriermon!" said Henry.
"Finally some action!" yelled Terriermon as he hoped from Henry's shoulder.
DIGI-MODIFI: DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE
DIGIVOLUTION
TERRIERMON DIGIVOLVE TO…
GARGOMON
Gargomon wasted no time, jumping in front of the machine, he yelled "Gargo Laser!" and started shooting the damned bike. However, it was ineffective. Since the machine didn't stop, Gargomon had to move before he was made another victim of the bike.
Dorumon tried to run towards the bike as he yelled "Dash Metal" before Axel could say anything. He head butted the machine, but the damned bike threw him to the side and continued forward, leaving both Dorumon and Axle with a headache. The later because he slapped his own head.
Leomon didn't stay idle, however as he reared is fist back. "Fist of the Beast King." The attack hit the machine and it did falter, but that was momentarily. The only difference was now, it was heading to the refugees.
"Go Guilmon!" yelled Takato. Guilmon did as so, and with a smarter plan than his purple furred counterpart. He jumped over the bike and turned it around, avoiding the villagers. As he did so, something fell from the bike.
"Hey, I think it lost it's head!" said Gargomon.
"Let me see it." Said Leomon as he came closer and grabbed the little bit of metal. Suddenly, it emitted light from what could be called the tail. Jerry pulled her digivice and scanned.
"Metalkoromon, a Rookie Machine digimon. Hey, it's a digimon!" said Jerry.
"I am so happy you saved me. Thanks a lot!" said Metalkoromon happy.
"Say what? We saved you?" asked Takato confused.
"Huh, guys? Guilmon is acting kind of weird." Said Axel as everyone turned to see Guilmon, still in the bike, coming in their direction and his eyes shining red. "He looks like… HE WANTS TO RUN ALL OVER US!"
"Guilmon?" asked Takato in shock.
*********With Impmon*******
"Okay, okay you are right. I can't go back there, no one wants me there anyway. Who would?" whimpered Impmon pathetically. "I'm such a weak little nothing… I want to be strong!"
"Then give yourself to the Sovereign." Said the dog Deva.
Impmon looked up to the dog digimon. "If I do, he will make me as strong as I want, right?"
The dog digimon only smiled at the little imp's question.
*******With the tamers******
The tamers were running as Guilmon chased them. "Don't you think Guilmon is taking this way to seriously?" asked Takato.
"Who knows? But we got to get away from the village to reduce the damage!" yelled Henry.
Leomon looked back and gasped. "He is right on our tail!" he then grabbed Jerry and jumped to the side. The other's did the same, allowing the bike to pass right through them. However, Guilmon turned the bike around to stare at them.
"It's the Bike!" yelled Metalkoromon. "It takes over your mind and forces you to go berserk! And that is not the only rotten thing it does, once it takes over you, you are stuck until it get's another rider!"
"Some weird bike!" said Takato.
"I agree!" said Jerry. "It reminds me of the story of the red shoes."
"I never heard that one." Said Takato.
"You are kidding me? Of you wore the red shoes you dance faster and faster and you aren't able to stop! That is the gist of it, though I could tell the longer version if you like." Said Jerry.
"Not now, guys. Guilmon is coming right at us!" yelled Axel.
And indeed it was. Takato then came up and yelled "Guilmon, you got to fight it!"
The response he got was a "Pyro Sphere!" from Guilmon.
Fortunately, Henry already got it covered.
DIGI-MODIFI: Wargreymon's Brave Shield activate
Gargomon put himself in front of the tamers and blocked the attack with the shield. Takato then yelled "I have to get on that bike. Guilmon got on it and it freed Metalkoromon. Maybe if I go there it will release Guilmon!"
"Don't be a fool Takato!" yelled Henry. "Just stay calm, we will think of something."
********With Impmon******
"Are you going to stare all day, or are you going to make me digivolve?" asked an impatient Imp we all know. "Come on, show me what you got!"
"The digimon of this world have been robbed of the power to digivolve without humans. The power of which I speak of can be obtained by my master, but you must prove worthy first." Said the dog deva. "If your ambitious for power is real, I must ask you to carry some quests for our Sovereigns."
"What kind of quests?" asked Impmon.
"Some humans and their pet digimons trespassed into our world, I believe you are quite familiar with them. The Deva's they defeated were never uploaded. Instead, their data was discarded for no further use." Said the dog digimon.
"Huh! Guilmon, and his friends?" asked Impmon shocked. He then remembered all the times he had passed with them. Strangely, the one memory that had the strongest impact was when he hit Laurelene in the face and yelled "I don't need a partner, I will digivolve myself!"
"Hold it!" yelled Impmon. "Don't tell me that killing those guys is my quest!" As the dog didn't move, he sighed. "For once, I really feel sick of my stomach. But if you make me digivolve, I will do it! I will do whatever your sovereign wants!"
"Then relinquish on the power I offer you!" said the dog digimon as he jumped. Bellow Impmon, a hole in the ground was formed making the small Imp fall into lava. The image of a red bird appeared in the background.
*********With the tamers********
Not knowing what to do, Gargomon turned to Jerry. "Hey Jerry, tell us more about the red shoes story. It did have a happy ending, right?"
"Well… I just know that there was something about the shoes… and that something horrible happened. But I don't remember the ending." Said Jerry a bit unsure.
"Something Horrible happened?" asked Takato.
"Enough! Go Dorumon!" yelled Axel. "Dash Metal, but higher this time!"
"Okay!" yelled Dorumon. Leomon caught what they were planning and said to the others "It's best we move from here." As they did so, Dorumon rushed to the bike.
"What is he going to do? GUILMON!" yelled Takato. Dorumon yelled "Dash Metal!" and jumped as he did so, headbutting Guilmon in the head and knocking both out. The bike continued on. "GUILMON!" yelled Takato as both he and Axel ran to their partners.
"Guilmon, you alright?" asked Takato.
"That wasn't fun at all! I will go walking next time!" complained the red saurian.
"You okay, buddy?" asked Axel.
"See, Axel. Headbutts do work!" said Dorumon in a goofy voice. "It is just a matter of target."
"But how did you knew that would help, Axel?" asked Jerry.
"I know why." Said Leomon. "He knew that the only was to save Guilmon was to awake him from the possession of the bike. The hit to the head was all he needed."
Just then, they turned to see the bike falling down a hole that appeared all of the sudden. They looked inside and saw the bike going deep into the lava.
"Well, it looks like the bike is gone." Said Axel.
"Yeah, it won't cause any more trouble, right guys?" asked Takato.
"Yeah. Thanks to you guys the Chuchidarumons are safe. I'm sorry Takato, Axel, for giving you two a hard time about butting in on their problems. I should have known better. You guys never listen to me anyway. That must be why I like you so much."
"WOW! Henry, my friend, don't forget I'm dating Rika already. Sorry but there is no room for three in there!" said Axel as he gave two steps back from Henry, making everyone laugh.
"I think you did great too." Said Jerry to Takato, making him blush very much.
"Hum… it was nothing." Said Takato nervously.
"Nothing?" asked Guilmon. "Then how come your face is red and sweaty looking just like mine?"
As everybody chuckled at this, Takato whispered angrily to Guilmon "Cram it, Guilmon! It is not!" then he yelled loudly "Now let's look for Calumon!" Just then, the earth shook lava from the pit rose to the sky and from hit, the damned bike came out… with a new rider. The new rider could only be described as a biker like guy, but they didn't see him well since he took off.
Leomon, however, noticed something. "Whoever it was, he had absolute control over the contraption. Does this mean he tamed the beast within?"
"Who is that guy?" asked Takato.
Even if he was already far, the new guy smilled as he answered, more to himself then to the tamers. "They call me… Beelzemon." And with that, he took off to the distance.
