"My Dragon"
Here is the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy this and please review!
My paws slapped against the earth as I ran, tracking the sweet scent of V-Mon that had been corrupted into a bitter scent when she was turned into an evil digimon.
Finally after an hour I found AeroVeedramon flying around in the dark skies looking confused.
Data wrapped around me and I transformed back to normal hoping this would help her remember me as I pulled my goggles up on my head and let my hair down from the mini ponytail I had it in.
"V-MON!" I yelled up at her.
She paused in her flight and just hovered in the air as she looked down at me.
"V-Mon, it's me. Dai. I'm your partner. We fought the Digimon Emperor, Kimeramon, Kokomon, MaloMyotismon and Diaboramon together with all of our friends. Don't you remember?" I called up to her.
AeroVeedramon roared as she shook her head.
It looks like I'm getting through to her, but Cherubimon's power is tying her down too tightly.
"V-Mon, fight it! You're stronger than he is. You're the strongest digimon I've ever met!" I called up to her.
She was thrashing around in the air as she tried to get her bearings, then stopped as she looked down at me with smoldering red eyes.
That's not good.
She blasted one of her attacks at me and I ran for cover as it hit the ground near me, the force of it picking me off my feet and sending me a few feet away on the cold ground.
AeroVeedramon swooped down and blasted another attack at me as I pushed myself up, but I was still weak from our earlier battles so I was slow.
Just as the flames were about to reach me, someone pushed me down out of the way, the place where I once stood being burned.
Looking up, I saw that it was Takuya who had saved me from the attack.
"Nice timing." I smiled as he returned it with a thumbs up.
Koji and Koichi ran over while Patamon flew up to where AeroVeedramon was while Bokomon and Neemon tripped over themselves to keep up with the twins.
"Daisuke! Are you all right?" Koji asked as he knelt down next to me and pulled me into his arms.
"Enough is enough is enough!" Patamon cried.
He then started blasting AeroVeedramon with his Boom Bubble while the dragon just stood there watching and taking it with a bored look on her face.
"Patamon!" Koji called in a disapproving tone.
"Crazy little guy." Takuya said as he then looked at me.
"Where'd the goggles come from?" he asked.
"These used to belong to Tai, who gave them to me and I left them with V-Mon. AeroVeedramon dropped them when Ophanimon stopped her from destroying me." I said as my hands gripped onto Koji's jacket.
"So that is her then." Koichi said as he looked up at the dragon.
"Oh, this is MetalGreymon all over again!" I whined as I buried my face in my boyfriend's chest while he rubbed my back to calm me down.
"Dai, I know this is hard, but we need to fight her." Koichi said.
I know he's right, but I'm scared to hurt V-Mon.
Oh, now I know how Tai felt when we had to fight MetalGreymon to save him from the Emperor's control.
"I think I ran out of Boom." Patamon squeaked making me look up to see the baby Celestial turn and try to fly away, but AeroVeedramon blew a puff of air at him and sent him falling down to earth.
Bokomon cried out as he pushed Neemon out of his way as he ran over to Patamon and caught him in his arms, then fell down on his bum from the momentum.
"What a brave boy." The chicken praised smiling proudly at the smiling baby.
"Look, Dai, I know V-Mon means the world to you, but we need to fight her." Takuya said.
I looked down feeling conflicted.
Koji cupped my chin and turned my turn to look me in the eyes.
He looked worried about me, but there was also determination glowing in those sapphire orbs.
"You need to fight with us. You know that. I know that you love her, but you have to do something to save her." He said.
"All we have to do is give her a little Fractal Code Digitize. It'll be fine." Takuya said smiling, looking very sure of himself.
He reminded me so much of myself from the old days when I was eager to take down any bad guy standing in my way with my dragon at my side.
Smiling, I stood up with my D-tector out.
Koji and Takuya both smiled as they stood on either side of me, their D-tectors pulled out and ready to use.
"I'll stay down here for backup. Good luck guys. I know you can do this." Koichi said.
We nodded at him as the three of us then transformed.
"Execute: Fusion Evolution!"
"Execute: Golden Evolution!"
"ALDAMON!"
"BEOWOLFMON!"
"Miramon: the Warrior of Miracles!"
The three of us took off up into the air, AeroVeedramon looking at us and firing off one of her attacks at Aldamon, but he used one of his blades on his arm to cut through it.
Beowolfmon come up behind AeroVeedramon and used his Frozen Hunter, with was a large blue flame in the shape of a wolf with glowing red eyes that pounced on the dragon, making her cry out.
My heart gave a pang at seeing her in pain, but I shook it off and tried to get my mind focused on the situation.
Aldamon used this attack called Solar Destroyer, which was a second sun, only maybe a bit smaller and hurled it towards Aeroveedramon, but she barely dodged it, the tip of her tail getting burned and she shrieked out in pain.
"V-Mon, please. I love you. Forgive me for this." I said as I swooped down.
The gold orbs on my boots glowed and they both floated up, turning into a blue wand that was about three feet long that had a gold orb at one end and a star with wings on it on the other end.
Twirling it, I then held it out in front of me as gold light shot out of it, striking AeroVeedramon while Aldamon and Beowolfmon both fired off their attacks too, all of them hitting her at the same time.
The dragon roared in pain and I let a few tears fall as Beowolfmon came over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder and I looked into his crimson eyes.
"Guys!" Aldamon called making us look over to see what he was.
There was V-Mon, in the air as she glowed with that dark gold light and she was screaming with the transparent forms of Dracomon and AeroVeedramon screaming behind her.
"We need to do this now." Aldamon said as he pulled out his D-tector.
"No. She's my partner. I'll do this." I said meeting his eyes and he nodded in understanding.
I smiled at him and then looked back to my suffering dragon as I pulled out my D-tector.
"Time to bring you back, V-Mon. then we can go kick some ass together again. Fractal Code: Digitize!"
Dracomon and AeroVeedramon were both turned into data as they were downloaded into my D-tector, the light around V-Mon fading out as she then fell out of the sky.
"V-MON!" I yelled in worry.
Thankfully, Koichi ran up and caught her before she fell and held her gently in my arms as he looked up at me with a smile.
Sighing in relief, the guys and I returned to the ground and transformed back to normal as I ran over to the Warrior of Darkness.
"Oh, V-Mon." I said sadly once I saw she was unconscious.
"She's worn out, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Physically at least." Koichi said as he handed her over to me.
I gathered my dragon up in my arms, tears falling down my face and dripping onto her head and I hugged her closely to me while Takuya and Koji flanked me, Patamon sitting on the Warrior of Light's head to get a better look.
(Half an hour later…)
We all sat down on the ground waiting for Zoe, JP and Tommy to catch up to us while I stared down at my dragon while I leaned against my boyfriend's chest with his arm wrapped around my shoulders.
"Let's play a game." Neemon said.
Bokomon frowned at him while Patamon flapped over to the bunny, the two playing in the dirt as they made a sandcastle.
"Patamon, you're getting all dirty!" Bokomon whined turning into a mother hen.
V-Mon was still sleeping in my arms, but she looked peaceful, so I wasn't worried.
"She'll be fine." Koji said as he kissed my cheek.
Smiling back at him, I kissed his cheek too, then looked down at my little dragon.
"If she's anything like you, she'll be up soon and torturing us soon." The Warrior of Flame said making me give him a look while he snickered.
"I don't torture you. I just kick your ass when you're being stupid in a serious situation." I said.
"Uh huh." He said with a bored look and I pouted at that while Koichi chuckled at our banter.
The sound of a train whistle made us all look over to see a teal Tarilmon coming over with Zoe, JP and Tommy sitting on top of him and waving at us.
We got up and walked over to the tracks as the Trailmon slowed to a stop and the late trio jumped off of the train.
"Hey, is that V-Mon?" Tommy asked pointing at the dragon in my arms.
"Yep, this is her." I said.
"So you did it. That's great. Will she be OK?" Zoe asked as she leaned over to get a look at V-Mon.
"She's strong. She's my girl, after all." I said gently tracing the yellow V that was displayed proudly on V-Mon's forehead.
"So what happens now?" JP asked.
"I mean, do we take her with us?" he asked.
"That's a stupid question." Koji said.
"She's Dai's partner." Koichi said.
"V-Mon's coming with us. We can't just leave her." Takuya said.
"Fine, but one more thing; why is Dai wearing those goggles?" JP asked.
I rolled my eyes as we all walked into the train and took our seats, me setting V-Mon down on the seat next to me and rubbed her head that was pillowed on my lap.
Koji was next to me and had his arm around me like he now does as a usual thing and it helps calm me down and keep me grounded when I feel stressed.
The others were all talking to each other in a different car than the three of us, Bokomon fussing over Patamon while Neemon commented on it.
A few minutes into the ride, I felt V-Mon moving in my lap and looked down to see her blinking her tired scarlet eyes up at me.
"Dai?" she asked.
"Hey. Feeling any better?" I asked.
She sniffled as tears formed in her eyes.
"I-I'm really sorry for everything I did. I had no control over what happened." She sobbed.
I hugged her tightly to me, kissing her head.
"It's OK. I forgive you." I cried.
The sound of footsteps alerted us that the others had heard us and were coming to see what was going on.
"An-And everyone else." V-Mon said as she pulled back and looked at the others.
"I'm so sorry for what I did to you all." She apologized.
"Hey, no worries. We're over it." Takuya said holding his hands up.
"We're just happy you're OK now." The Warrior of Wind smiled.
V-Mon whipped at her eyes and returned the smile.
"I should really thank ya all for takin' care of my Dai. I was really worried when I woke up and saw that I was in the Kamiya apartment. Gatomon told me that Dai dropped me off and then left quickly." She said.
"I'm sorry. Ophanimon called me and said that I needed to hurry up and get to the train station to help the next generation of Digidestinds and that I couldn't bring you with me. I would've put up more of a fight, but time was running out. I'm sorry if I worried you like that." I said.
"I won't be sorry if you won't." she smiled up at me.
"Agreed." I said.
"But how did you get into the Digital World and how did Cherubimon get his hands on you anyway? It doesn't make any sense." Koichi said making us all look at him.
"The computer in Tai and Kari's dad's study was acting weird and a portal opened up in it. I walked through to see what was wrong and saw that Cherubimon and his evil Warriors were trying to get through to the human world, but they couldn't do it. They captured me before I could go back in to tell the others and beat me until they made me digivolve into Dracomon." V-Mon explained.
That son of a bitch is so dead when I get my hands on him.
Patamon then flew over and sat down on her head with a giggle.
"We're all safe for now. Be happy." He chirped making my dragon giggle.
"Finally, we can go to the Rose Morning Star without any more issues." Bokomon sighed.
"Yeah!" we all cheered V-Mon getting up and displaying her energy.
She then turned back to face me with a curious look and pointed at Koji.
"So who is this guy and why's he sitting so close to ya without getting' punched?" she asked.
My face burned red as I gave a nervous laugh as played with my goggles that slid down around my neck.
"Well, this is Koji Minamoto. He's my boyfriend." I said.
"BOYFREIND?! Since when?" V-Mon shouted with a comical stunned face.
"Um, about a day now I think." I said.
"A DAY?!" she yelled.
"They have known each other for about five months now and they've gotten to know each other well." Koichi said.
"Is it that bad that they're together?" Tommy asked.
"No, not to me. I'm happy that Dai finally found someone, but when Tai and Matt find out their precious kohai had a boyfriend they'll blow a gasket." V-Mon said.
"Meaning what?" JP asked.
"Where do ya think Dai got her violent streak from?" she asked.
Everyone froze and slowly looked at me in shock and I fumed at them.
"Hey! If anything, Taky and Wolf Boy are more like Tai and Matt with all of the times they tried to kill each other." I pouted sitting back in my seat.
"HEY!" the Warriros of Light and Flame exclaimed while V-Mon looked thoughtful.
"When did ya stop callin' them Taichi-sempai and Yamato-sempai?" she asked.
"For a while now. I guess I never realized it. I guess after my adventures here, I don't need my sempais anymore." I said.
"Wow, ya really matured." V-Mon smiled.
"Yeah, that's great. When are we getting to the Rose Morning Star anyway?" JP asked.
No one answered him as Koichi knelt down in front of V-Mon.
"I'm Koichi Kimura. It's nice to meet you." He said.
"And I'm Zoe Orimoto. Dai's told us a lot about you." The blonde smiled.
"Told? More like lectured. I'm Takuya Kanbara by the way." The goggle head said.
"Lectured? You've been hanging around Ken too much and is Takuya the leader of this team? I don't know why the leader always has to wear goggles." V-Mon said.
"I'm Tommy Himi." The nine year old said getting the dragon's attention.
"Yeah, hey. I'm JP Shibiyama. Welcome, I guess." The heavyset boy said.
V-Mon's nose twitched as she caught a scent and then her eyes went all starry as she jumped on JP, freaking him out.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YA DOING?!" he yelled.
"CHOCOALTE! I smell chocolate! Where is it? Gimme, gimme, GIMME!" the dragon yelled cheerfully as she started searching his pockets.
I laughed at that while the others sweat dropped as JP tripped over his own two feet as he tried to get my hyper dragon off of him and a bar of chocolate fell out of his jumpsuit.
Maybe he's not heavyset after all.
His suit's just filled with hidden chocolate bars to make him seem that way.
"MINE!" V-Mon yelled as she pounced on it like a cat would a mouse.
"Wow. I think I miss AeroVeedramon." Koji said as I laughed harder.
"A little warning to everyone here. Never get between a digimon and chocolate." I advised as I leaned back into my wolf's chest.
"Got it." the others said as they watched V-Mon snapped the bar in half and hand the other piece to Patamon, then they both devoured their bars.
