I don't own digimon.
Session 5
Polly's Day
The dawn's bright glow quickly approached upon the home of the Gostelow family.
For our current protagonist, she had just finished dealing with one of those extremely annoying telemarketers. Strangely, this one had decided invasion of privacy was a totally legitimate thing to do someone just awoken from their slumber.
Nonetheless, she got up and dressed herself in her usual outfit. Which consisted of a black vest top and a loose cargo pants, held up by a black belt. To go with her look, were a pair of fingerless gloves and a pair of trainer shoes. At the very least, it went well with her dazzling blue eyes and her black pixie cut.
"Hello, whore. Shall we try this again?"
She then turned around, finding the figure from before sitting at her desk. He had the chest of a human, the lower half of a goat and the upper chest of a dragon. A unicorn horn was embedded in his white hair, just above the human right half of his face. The other half, appeared to be all dragon. A single short straight horn hung on both sides of head. White shoulder pads held by red thread covered his knees. Strangely, her gaze seemed most focused on the white voids that one could call 'eyes'.
"Why are you back here again?!" she screamed and took a step toward towards her opponent.
"Because I need your help, you useless slut."
Polly slammed her fist into the beast's throat and knocked it into the desk. The demonic satyr didn't even flinch and just walked back over to his original position.
Terra Archens (Blazing Earth)!
A beam of lava then shot out of the hands of the creature, only for the monk to duck and fling him into the wall.
"You can call me Aegiochusmon." The creature announced, only for Polly to grab hold. "I am your Harem Mage."
Before he could explain himself, Polly flung the digimon out her window for a second time.
"Good riddance." Polly thought and made her way towards the door.
Pylóna tou Ádi (Pillar of Hades)!
A large ornate pillar sprouted up from the earth, only for Aegiochusmon to casually step through the now broken window frame.
"My, my, my. What have they done to you." the harem mage announced, only to grab hold of Polly.
"Let go of me, you big creep!" Polly shouted as she attempted to break free from her captor's grip.
"Why should I? I've gone through all of this trouble of tracking you down and I can't just let you get away that easily."
Aegiochusmon then laughed, only for the monk's door to open up and reveal Polly's mom.
"What is the meaning of this?!" the women announced and Aegiochusmon let go of Polly and escaped through the way he came in.
"Mom?" Polly inquired, only for Mom to pull her out of the room. "What's wrong?"
"I don't want you to be anywhere near him!" Polly's Mom announced and walked downstairs."He's trouble and nothing else."
The monk only stood there, processing what had just happened. As much as she wanted to push this all to the back of her mind, something about the intruder stuck with her. Maybe it was the sense of deja vu that the two had somehow met before. Or it could be that sneaking feeling of her destiny suddenly changing.
But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't put her finger on the answer. Reluctantly, the monk made her way down the stairs and headed outside.
Outside, Aegiochusmon had sat himself down on a nice stone bench.
"So, you finally decided to take me up on my offer, bimbo?" Aegiochusmon greeted, only for Polly to throw him into a dumpster. "No matter."
He pulled a gold pocketwatch out and gave it a quick glance. Polly was already late to begin with, making her resistance just another pain for the harem mage to deal with at the moment.
"Now, now. You need to stop this, my Akira."
Polly walked up to 'her partner' and punched him in the face. Aegiochusmon only laughed as a bright flash of light blinded her vision. Fractured images flashed by, showing bits and pieces of events that seemed familiar yet so distant.
"Do you get it now, bimbo?"
Polly only stared at the harem mage.
"This is something kind of prank, right? Just some elaborate joke my friends thought would be funny to pull on m-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Aegiochusmon slapped her.
"A joke?" he shouted, balling both of his hands up. "Do you think I went through all of this trouble for just one little measly practical joke?!"
The harem mage then grabbed hold of her and planted a kiss on her cheek.
Energy surged into the monk, only for Aegiochusmon to release his grip off of her. But instead of falling to the ground, she just floated there as a white card shot out of her body and into the free hands of her 'master'. Like a Polaroid almost, a picture of Polly then formed on the card. Afterwards, Polly fell to the ground but quickly got back up.
"What did you just do to me?!" Polly shouted and charged towards Aegiochusmon once more, only for him to sidestep out of the way.
"I made a pactio with you." Aegiochusmon answered, only for Polly to throw him into a wall. "That way, we can restore what they took from you."
Polly gave him a quick glance, only to walk away. She had enough of the 'crap' the harem mage had decided to shove down her throat.
"Just go away, will you?"
Aegiochusmon only sighed and cautiously followed behind.
Currently, the city was swarming with people in line to get a copy of Digital Adventures Online from their local game stores.
One would have expected to see less of a crowd, mostly due to the recent rumors of the disappearance of the beta testers. But, they all probably thought that was just some rumor or story cocked up by marketing and/or the press to hype the game. That, or they were looking for Mage Girls: VS Ultra. Not that either of them would have really known, considering the two didn't really care for this sort of thing.
"Can you please stop following me?"
Aegiochusmon only laughed.
"Why would I want to do that?" he explained, only for Polly to stare at him. "I now have you."
He was then slapped for that remark.
"No." Polly answered and continued on her way. "Just leave me alone!"
Aegiochusmon didn't answer, giving his pocketwatch another quick glance.
After that annoyance, the monk continued on her way. Occasionally, the monk would make a quick glance behind her, making sure she wasn't being followed.
Polly passed through an alley, making a quick stop for some reason. Painted on the left wall, was a mural of a black cat with some cyan text painted under it.
Life is like chasing a black cat. At first, the cat will just outrun you. But as you make friends and grow along your journey, you will eventually catch up with it.
"Interesting, isn't it? You can't find this at all in either Mahora or the Digital World."
Polly turned around, finding Aegiochusmon standing before her once again.
"Now what?" Polly shouted and Aegiochusmon laughed.
"We need to get going." Aegiochusmon answered and Polly stared blankly at him. The harem mage immediately took advantage of her, delivering a kiss on the cheek. "Especially if we want to get away without her realizing."
Polly stared at Aegiochusmon, only for kunai to suddenly rain down.
"Hey!
Aegiochusmon leaned in for a kiss, muttering three little words under his breath. Almost on cue, the kunai rain had stopped.
"Sis mea pars!"
Polly infusion digivolve too... Aquiosmon!
Power then rippled through her body, forcing her onto the floor. Her skin shattered, light blue goop taking the place of it. Her legs had fused together, taking the appearance of a mermaid tail. Her clothes had disappeared, getting replaced with two seashells over her breasts. What was left of her hair, was now just slime. With her transformation now complete, Aegiochusmon made a quick glance down at her card and put it in his 'pocket'.
Scanning...
Aquiosmon
Infusion/Champion, Virus
Special Moves: Aquaport, Watery Grave Punch, Seaside Throw
.
Aegiochusmon: Call me Fate. Fate Averruncus.
Polly: I'll pass, thank you very much.
Aegiochusmon: Suit yourself then.
Scan complete.
"What just happened to me?!" Polly shouted, only for Aegiochusmon to sigh.
"Help me and I'll tell you, bitch." Aegiochusmon responded and Polly slapped him with her tail.
"Hello, Polly."
Polly then turned around, finding some sort of plant anthro thing standing before the duo. It was some green-skinned girl, dressed in a pink flower-petal dress. A pair of bark boots covered her feet and a small pink flower sat in her green vine-like hair. Two dark green eyes stared towards with a creepy smile accompanying it.
"It's me, Lydia!" the anthro announced, only for Aegiochusmon to smile. As much as he hadn't planned for this, this would work nicely in his plan.
Polly rubbed her eyes, possibly to make sure what she was seeing was reality and not just some weird dream induced by Aegiochusmon.
"What happened to you?" The slime inquired and 'Lydia' laughed.
"I've been improved by the infection." Polly only gave her friend a confused glance. "Would you like to join me?"
"Not really." Polly immediately slid back over to her harem mage, just about ready to slap him. "What have you done to her?!"
"I am not at fault to this bimbo's predicament." Aegiochusmon added and took a deep breath. "For now, you're going to have to take her on."
Polly only groaned.
Aqua Torrent!
A torrent of water engulfed the area, yet seemed contained to just the alley. Not that any of the crowds would have really noticed it.
Aquaport!
Watery Grave Punch!
Polly then dove into the water, only reappearing to punch her opponent into the air.
Seaside Throw!
The monk then jumped into the air, grabbing hold of Lydia and threw her into the left wall of the alley.
"What's wrong, stupid?" Aegiochusmon asked and Polly sighed.
"Now are you going to explain what's going on?" Polly answered, only for Aegiochusmon to think it over for a couple of seconds.
"Nope!"
Watery Grave Punch!
Polly then slammed her fist towards her partner, only for him to grab hold of it and fling her into the opposite wall with Lydia.
"For now, let's just let sleeping dogs lie." Aegiochusmon answered and grabbed hold of her once more as a flash came over them.
Aquaport!
The two were then pulled into the water, only to be ejected out of a water bottle.
"Where are we?"
Currently, the duo found themselves on the bus from the previous chapter, with everyone's gazes focusing in on them.
"Uh... Welcome to the group?" someone finally answered, motioning for them to take a seat. After doing that, Drogaciji Academy quickly came into view.
Only for a 'tournament' to occur, with little consequence to the grand scheme of things. Well... Kind of.
It is here, at the very end we meet our final hero...
Notes:
Overall, this wasn't that bad of a chapter to rewrite.
Even then, it was mostly just improving the character interactions between Polly and Aegiochusmon.
On an interesting note, one of the digtalverse's greatest secrets has remained hidden. Maybe you will find it?
