Digimon Re: Adventure Chapter 2:
While Taichi and Mimi were busy in another room upstairs enjoying each other's company, the yellow dinosaur Digimon had just finished up his feast of a meal from Palmon's cooking.
"So did you like it~?" Palmon asked Agumon, as Agumon was finishing up a stew containing some meat and fish alongside some noodles.
"I like it! Your cooking is better than what human's cook to eat much of the time!" Agumon spoke up, as Palmon giggled a bit.
"Come on, silly, let's head out to the front real quick. I want to test your muscle after that meal." Palmon spoke as she jumped out into the front yard from the counter of the front of the house, with Agumon followed behind.
"Alrighty then; a fight sounds good to me!" Agumon spoke, as Palmon, once walking out to where she had enough room, began to glow with energy as she turned to face Agumon, who in turn began to glow with energy as Agumon was rather confused as to how he and Palmon were gathering the energy to evolve, but he didn't question it for now...
"Palmon, Evolution…!"
"Agumon, Evolution…!"
As Palmon transformed, she shifted from her lengthy, clawed hands into robust, boxing glove covered hands on strong arms, and her whole body shifted from a flowery-like plant to a large, legged cactus type of form. Stacked against Greymon before her, she actually stood slightly taller than Greymon unless you considered Greymon's helmet horns making them both at the same height.
"Togemon!" Togemon called, as her glow subsided as Greymon's glow began to subside.
"Grey- OOF!" Greymon grumbled a bit as Togemon landed a solid punch to Greymon's gut in mere seconds timing. Greymon, though, grinned as he grabbed hold of Togemon's strong arm to move to flip her over, but it backfired when Togemon revealed her massive strength when she lifted Greymon over her head and slammed him down onto the floor below.
"Mega-!" Greymon tried to speak as his fiery breath began to foam from his mouth, only for Togemon to shut him up with a quick jab to his head as Greymon's dazed state allowed for Togemon to strike again. With every individual, rapid punch Togemon began to land against Greymon's sturdier body, she kept yelling "Useless!" over and over towards him as she left the giant Ceratosaur Digimon nearly doubling over in pain, before she slammed both of her fists together and then smashed them down against Greymon's head, knocking him out as Greymon degenerated to Agumon.
"I wasn't ready, that was a fluke…" Agumon whined, as Togemon's deep chuckle turned more high pitched as she degenerated to Palmon.
"Look, Agumon, as much as you're nice company to have around, and the fact you and Taichi "saved" Mimi earlier, did you honestly think Mimi would willingly put herself in danger if I didn't have that kind of fighting prowess as a backup should things go wrong?" Palmon brought up, as Agumon blinked as Palmon helped him to stand.
"I-I guess that makes sense…" Agumon said, as walking out from the house was Taichi and Mimi.
"Did you two get into a fight just a moment ago?" Mimi asked Palmon, as Palmon nodded, all the while Taichi groaned a little. Agumon, though, sniffed to notice something with Taichi.
"Your mom and sister might not notice it, but that isn't stopping me from noticing you scored another woman in bed again." Agumon spoke up, as Taichi blushed. Mimi nervously chuckled a little.
"Yeah, uh, just don't blab about it to mom and sis, okay?" Taichi asked, as Agumon nodded. "Either way, Mimi? Would you mind if Agumon and I came here on a regular basis now that we've had a proper meeting?" Taichi asked Mimi, as Mimi thought about it and nodded.
"Certainly; I wouldn't mind at all. I could use some company on nights like these anyways, though, um..." Mimi spoke up, as Taichi blinked, "J-Just try to respect my boundaries in the future; you did nothing wrong tonight, it's just, well…"
"You don't have a lot of commitment when it comes to romance?" Taichi asked. Mimi, realizing the tone of Taichi's voice suggested the same thing on his end, nodded a bit nervously. Taichi, meanwhile, offered Mimi a brief hug to reassure her, all the while Mimi nodded and moved to walk into his arms to embrace him briefly.
After backing away from each other, Taichi moved to pick up Agumon in his strong arms to carry him off back for home. Waving Mimi and Palmon goodbye, Taichi walks out the front gate after he unlocked it briefly to allow himself out. Mimi, locking the front gate again once he was gone, sighed a bit happily.
"So, Mimi? What did you think of Taichi?" Palmon asked, as Mimi sighed.
"I seriously need to get a longer chance to have at it with him; he deserves it from how tense he was the whole experience." Mimi spoke up, as Palmon blinked.
"By the way, why did you call him Tai instead of Taichi?" Palmon asked, as Mimi responded by beginning to speak in a different language from what she was originally speaking. From what Palmon could hear from her, she was speaking English rather loud and clear, in fact, clearer than she spoke Japanese. From what Mimi spoke to her in English, she told Palmon that Mimi often shortened people's names because it made it easier for her to speak.
"Do you understand now?" Mimi asked, speaking Japanese again as Palmon nodded.
"Yes, it makes a lot more sense now. It's going to confuse me a little though since every Digimon is able to speak Japanese very well, but I'll get used to it." Palmon brought up, as Mimi sighed.
"Although, I will say this; I worry about his sister a lot every time I see her visiting here." Mimi spoke up, as Palmon blinked.
"I'm certain now that Taichi knows of us, she'll be safer in his company than by herself." Palmon brought up, as Mimi sighed.
"Alright, just as long as Taichi keeps her out of trouble with that T.K. gentlemen she's been being flirted with by." Mimi brought up as she went inside the house for the night, as Palmon followed her inside. Once they were inside, though, the soundproofing on the house did nothing to notify them of the loud explosion just outside of their home.
Out on the streets in the dead of night, appeared a young male, also of 21 years of age, with blond hair and a dark, ranger green colored jacket and sweatpants. Besides him and snarling savagely was a large, Wolf-like Digimon with numerous stripes and a white coat. To the other side of the street appeared two other males, one with dark, brown hair, and another with dyed purple hair. Both of them had what appeared to be a large, fish based Digimon with clawed limbs, and the other having a large, pitch black dinosaur with massive, two digit arms and green colored dorsal plates.
"DarkTyrannomon, hold your fire!" One of the males spoke up, the closest towards the large dinosaur.
"You too, Coelamon. Let's talk like gentlemen here, alright, Yamato?" One of them spoke, as Yamato simply glared.
"Akira, Takashi; call off your Digimon back to Rookie if you're serious about. Unless of course whomever sent the order against me was serious about it after all." Yamato simply told off the two, as the large wolf-like Digimon continued to growl towards the duo. Akira, the one with command over DarkTyrannomon, simply clapped as he calmed down.
"Alright, fair is fair. Degenerate back to Gazimon." Akira said as he gave the order to DarkTyrannomon; immediately degenerating from a large saurian down into the shape of a smaller, gray furred mammal with large, powerful front claws.
"Alright, same for you Coelamon, show's over; back to Ganimon." Takashi spoke, as the large, fish-like Digimon degenerated into the much smaller, crab-like form it had for its weaker Child Level form. Takashi and Akira, though, simply leered over towards Yamato.
"Call off Garurumon now, will ya? Or are you still tense about what happened with Yutaka?" Akira spoke up, as Yamato simply sighed a bit.
"Back to Gabumon now, Garurumon; we're heading home." Yamato spoke, as Garurumon still remained in his form as he noticed a large, flying Digimon appear in the sky; having the body of a serpent, a skull for a helmet, and large, dragon-like wings, the Digimon flew overhead until it was out of sight, in which Garurumon promptly degenerated from a large wolf, down into a form which was more saurian a wore a pelt modeled after its evolved form.
"Alright, I feel better about this now." Gabumon spoke, as Gazimon and Ganimon nodded.
"Alright, so everyone's cool now?" Gazimon asked, as Ganimon nodded.
"We're fine; just don't keep getting us three into a fight with each other again, alright Gabumon?" Ganimon asked the mammal-like Digimon, as Gabumon sighed.
"I make no promises; you piss off Yamato, you piss off me as well." Gabumon spoke, as Yamato sighed and proceeded to drag Gabumon off by the large horn on his head back towards his home. Akira and Takashi walked over towards Yamato to try and get him to stop for a moment.
"… L-Look, um… If it's about the new guy and his attitude after he learned of your girl, we promise you we'll keep that dick in check." Akira spoke towards Yamato.
"Yeah; if he so much as tries to get into her personal space, we'll-"
"This is why I'm not going to bother introducing her to you guys unless she truly feels like it; you guys, even without the new bandmate of ours, would make Sora prone to panic too easily." Yamato spoke up as he didn't turn to face either of the two. Akira blinked in response to Yamato's harsh sounding tone.
"… Dude, lighten up; you can't just constantly treat her like she's made of glass. She needs to be able to adapt to normal life unless she'll never succeed with anything she hopes to do." Akira spoke up, as Yamato glanced over his shoulder to look at him and sighed.
"… Alright; I'll ask Sora tomorrow if she wants to meet you guys for real, just do a me a favor for me with what I have to ask. If you guys remotely try and feel her up like you did Yutaka's girl the other week, just be don't be very sudden about it; give her a chance to take everything in and do what you can to keep the new guy away from her before we have to force him out of the room violently." Yamato spoke, as he began to leave with Gabumon in tow.
"Yes sir." Akira and Takashi both spoke, as they proceeded to leave with Gazimon and Ganimon respectively as well.
Back to Taichi and Agumon, Agumon had heard the sounds of a fight going on just before they were long out of range.
"Why is it some people choose to use Digimon in fights out on the streets anyways? Why can't we be like those guys?" Agumon asked, as Taichi shrugged.
"It wouldn't be what dad would've wanted; people could get hurt very easily because of those fights." Taichi said as he walked up the stairs to his apartment, and upon reaching he floor he could help but notice somebody there to greet him at his door.
"Koushirou?!" Taichi asked as he perked up at the sight of the shorter, almost redheaded brunet before him, as Koushirou waved.
"Hello Taichi! I've got some news for you and Hikari." Koushirou responded, as a smaller, insectoid beetle came out from behind the 21 year old and into full view.
"Greetings Taichi, greetings Agumon." The Digimon spoke, as Taichi scanned it was his Digivice.
"Tentomon. Child Level. Mom wasn't joking about the rumors then it seems." Taichi said, as Koushirou nodded.
"There's more to it than just that, but first could we get inside to discuss this matter?" Koushirou asked, as Taichi nodded and unlocked the apartment for Koushirou and Tentomon to enter first; only for a small, but powerful tackle to be felt on Koushirou when Koushirou fell onto the floor on his back as he looked up to see a small, but powerful, white cat of a Digimon with a ring tipped tail and clawed gloves. Koushirou was quick to scan the cat Digimon with his Digivice.
"Tailmon. Adult Level. But… How is this one an Adult? It's too small to be one." Koushirou asked, as Tailmon chuckled.
"Please, enough with the flattery; just call me Gatomon for now, alright?" Gatomon requested, as she jumped off of Koushirou and landed just behind the, now 18 year old and definitely having grown, Yagami Hikari.
"Oh, hey! Izumi Koushirou, isn't it? I've heard about you from someone else." Hikari brought up in a cheerful tone, as Taichi raised an eye.
"Mimi?"
"Mimi." Hikari sighed as she yelped a bit when she realized Taichi answering her. "Wait, when did you-"
"She was horny, she came across me, she asked if I could stay briefly, and I couldn't exactly say no to her." Taichi responded in the most quick to the point and bluntness of the truth of how he and Agumon had met Mimi and Palmon. Gatomon simply chuckled.
"Well it's clear you're still crazed for pussy I see." Gatomon said with a chuckle.
"Knock it off!" Taichi and Agumon butted in, as Tentomon helped Koushirou to stand as the three humans and three Digimon walked into Taichi's apartment. It was rather cozy for how small it was, but that didn't matter too much for Koushirou as he pulled out his laptop and began opening a few windows and maps to project to the others through an outer camera once he was set up.
"Now then, if I may get to the point I was bringing up, all across our neighborhood Digimon have been seen in increasing sightings ever since Agumon returned to your side over a year or more earlier, is that consistent with what you've seen, Taichi?" Koushirou asked, as Taichi looked at the map data and nodded.
"Very, but right now I'm beginning to worry; have any reports showcased any Perfect Levels showing up at all?" Taichi asked, as Koushirou shook his head.
"No Perfects… but something worse we might need to consider." Koushirou said, as he brought up onto his screen GrandisKuwagamon's data.
"GrandisKuwagamon here is an anomaly to me; its level lists as being above Perfect as an Ultimate Level, but it has an odd program within itself as indicating it's not a normal Digimon at the same time." Koushirou pointed out, as he also showed up a brief, silhouetted scan of the image of a humanoid, devil-looking Digimon.
"This here is the unknown Digimon I was concerned about for a week now; it is called Devimon, and it is an Adult Level. I'm more concerned about this one because unlike the Digimon we've seen already, including GrandisKuwagamon, next to no information is shown on this guy at all. In fact, he hasn't even appeared yet in our world." Koushirou finished, as Gatomon looked at the screen and angrily growled to herself.
'Devimon… he'll pay for what he and the others did to me for all of those years ago…' Gatomon thought, as Agumon slammed his fists together.
"Sounds to me like we need to give him a beating." Agumon brought up, as Tentomon briefly slapped him to snap him out of it as he pointed towards the screen.
"If anything, I'm sure you're familiar with at least one of these three, yes?" Koushirou asked Taichi, as on his screen now showed Togemon, Garurumon, and an unknown avian Digimon made of flame that the data had named "Birdramon". As the data was being projected, a fourth screen appeared up in a hurry and scanned a fourth, walrus-like Digimon covered in white, shaggy hair named "Ikkakumon".
"… Odd… I know Mimi has a Togemon as her partner, but I don't know of the other three there." Taichi answered, as Agumon nodded.
"From what I've heard, the other three are partnered with three of our friends from middle school and one of our seniors; Garurumon with Ishida Yamato, Birdramon with Takenouchi Sora, and Ikkakumon with Kido Jou. If we can get into contact with the three and privately ask them about joining our side in all of these, we won't have too much to worry about even during the night when Digimon activity is at its peak." Koushirou explained, as Taichi nodded.
"Alright, so that's the game plan; to recruit the other three and Mimi onto our side, and then see what we can do about this mysterious Devimon and the juggernaut GrandisKuwagamon. Right?" Taichi asked, as Hikari and Koushirou nodded.
"Right. Until then, we should all get some rest for the night and go out searching for our old friends during the day. Does that sound fair?" Hikari asked, as Taichi nodded.
"Fair enough; I'm worn out today anyways." Taichi brought up, as he yawned a little bit. As Koushirou unplugged his laptop and began to pack up to head off, he and Tentomon gave a wave to Taichi, Agumon, Hikari, and Gatomon, who all saw him off for the night as Taichi moved to lock the door behind him.
"Alright now, Hikari; you hold for the fort while I'm asleep; I've got a busy day ahead of me and since you're still a little under the weather just do what you can to relax, alright?" Taichi asked as he headed to his bedroom.
"Alright, good night big bro." Hikari said, as she pulled out her cellphone and began to scroll through her contacts. She already had Yamato, Sora, and Jou on there, but instead of calling either of the three first, she instead pulled up a phone number with a home phone number icon, and began to call the number in question. As the phone began to ring, Gatomon paid close attention to who Hikari was calling.
"Yes, hello, is Takaishi Takeru there?"
AN: To be perfectly honest once you guys know what I'm doing with Patamon, the fact I'm using both Gatomon's Japanese name and her Dub Name as the name this specific individual prefers will be the least weird of the stuff I'll be doing with this fic.
