Last night was very exciting event but Henry went to sleep on time while Tesla had already fallen asleep long ago.

The morning was different for Henry as he now had a partner to take care off. He woke up like normal and turned to his partner who had also woken up.

Unlike the other partners, Tesla was from a very friendly species that was loved by the masses for their cute appearance.

Being one of the digimon with the low life expectancy, Tesla would mature faster than others and it also meant that Henry would have less time to play around.

Just like humans, digimon could also die because of various reasons like hunger, poison and just life expectancy.

Among the digimon partners of the team, Arthur had the highest naturally followed by Luna and Asura. Arthur being a dragon type had the long life genetics and could easily live up to 200 years while Luna could live to 100.

Tesla was a bunny and dog type, his life would end within 30 years.

Once the digimon died like this, they would turn into an egg and be reborn. The digimon reborn in this manner would be slightly stronger than the previous version but he wouldn't have the memories.

Rebirth was one of the methods that Tamers strengthened their partners but it was done once the digimon reached the limits of their growth and it was a delicate process that most people wouldn't dare try.

The digimon's personality and memory would be lost, and you would have to walk the same path again since the digimon would start from the baby stage.

Fortunately for Tesla, Henry wasn't going to play around and waste his life. Just like the others he had been excited and designed a personal room for Tesla.

On the outing the day before, Henry found that Tesla didn't like horrifying looking things. He liked sweets. He liked cute things.

He liked robots and guns.

He liked electronics and loved the wonderful tech.

He liked the feeling of speed and flight.

He liked the Gundam series and loved pop songs.

He didn't like getting hurt and was very sensitive about it.

Just from that, Henry could say that his partner was a like tomboyish girl.

Henry designed the room with a soft touch. He put various books inside along with robot and gun models.

He gave him a soft bed to sleep on.

There was a computer and TV inside for use. There were dolls and such.

He could fly inside the room with command and he even had a small workshop to play around with.

When Henry looked at the digivice, his happy little friend was playing around in the bath. It seems he also loved to play around in the water and sing.

His voice was very cute indeed.

"Good morning Tesla, I see that you are happy with the setup." Henry said in a gentle tone as he got up from bed and stretched his body. He was extremely flexible so the sight was impressive for beginners.

Tesla shook his wet body and looked at Henry with a happy expression, "Yes, Henry. I love it."

His voice was absolutely adorable and his body language was honest. It was a stark contrast with Asura and Luna.

"That's good, now eat and get ready as we will have busy morning." Henry patted him through the screen and gave him instructions as he had schedule to follow, and he didn't like breaking it.

It was kind of like a default setting for him and he got annoyed when things went against his schedule.

"Roger!" Tesla gave a cute shout as he moved along with his small body, getting out of the washroom after drying up and getting something to eat from the menu screen.

He had tasted different things the day before and Henry had put down different flavors of things that were useful for him to eat.

Tesla was a beast type and his future was a mixture with metal type, so Henry had added beast and metal type into this diet but he made sure it was balanced.

There needed to be moderation and too much of one thing would destroy Tesla's future. Taking care of a digimon wasn't easy as the tamer had to always make sure that the balanced was maintained and the mind set was right.

Sometime many tamers wished it was easy like the Pokemon game, where they just had to level up and not worry about any other conditions except in rare cases and even those weren't that difficult compared to the digimon since some digimon couldn't even reach their final evolution unless they got acknowledgment from their final form.

Truly nerve wrecking and unfair since those digimon that needed to give their nod of approval were monsters that had existed for 1000's of years.

Naruto was the best fighter among humans but any notable digimon in the ultimate and higher rank would beat him even with their stats equalized.

It was the reason that he continued to improve upon his skills or he wouldn't be able to help his partner and fight when needed.

Comparing number of fights, Naruto was like a kid while any long term digimon would have been in thousands upon thousands of battles.

Unlike the humans, Digimon had very good reason to kill each other. By killing another digimon they got their data and grew in power, so a digimon that survived for thousand years through battles was a complete different beast and most digimon would never live to their life limit.


Henry got ready and had breakfast before leading Tesla to the training room at his residence. Unlike Rika and Naruto, Henry didn't live in an old style place. He lived in a high rise building that was owned by his family and housed employees that worked in their company, Monster Maker.

The upper section was where Henry's family lived and the whole place was high tech with an A.I. in charge of everything.

It was kind of dangerous but the place was the house of the Monster Maker's not some normal place. It was a company that specialized in computer programming, creating new digital items and such.

The fire wall protecting the system was high class and so if something did hack the place then that thing could also hack other high ranking locations.

"Big brother, get!" Just as Henry was about to walk out of the apartment to go towards the training section, he was about hit by a small mass of joy.

It was his little sister Suzie Wong who was just 13 year old now. She was cute little girl with purple hair and purple eyes, a result of the mutation caused by the digital world.

Anime like hair color had become normal in the world since that day or people had to dye them in the old days. It definitely stood out but Suzie loved the color.

She had her hair in twin tail style and wore a light purple dress, light purple knee high socks and black boots.

She wore a black jacket with purple outlines and a bunny style hoodie.

Suzie was very much attached to him as he had been the one to play with her most of the time since their parents were always busy.

She had an older brother and sister above Henry but she loved Henry the most.

Suzie also saw knew of Naruto but considered him an uncle because of his personality and aura while she was best friends with Rias.

Henry would always laugh at the thought of the first time Suzie called Naruto, uncle. Everyone thought of it but none had said it.

"Good morning Suzie." Henry smiled as he moved along while she hung on his back.

"Good morning big brother, are you going to train with the cute little bunny?" Suzie asked as she pushed against shoulder and flipped in herself before sitting on his shoulders.

Henry easily took the weight since he was able to easily carry more than 1 tonne, physically he was above Rika and lower than Takato.

With Suzie hugging his head, Henry continued the short journey.

"Yes, Tesla needs to learn how to fight and train his body before we can start our journey. Are you going to join us or are you meeting up with Rias?"

"Hmmmmmmm, I want to play with the bunny but I promised Rias." Suzie muttered slowly as she shook her body from left to right.

She was very much different from her brother who was stoic, always honest about her emotions. Tesla's default setting was modeled after Suzie.

"You can play with him later, okay. Now hop off and get to your friend, you know how fiery she gets when people make her wait." Henry caught her by the armpits and flipped her before putting her down on the ground.

He had arrived at his destination and Suzie would just have to run to the elevator just a little but further down the corridor.

Looking at her brother, she knew he was busy and he didn't like it when he was disturbed during work. He allowed Suzie that privilege but she had grown enough to know that this was a very important moment for him.

"Love you big brother, I will definitely play with Tesla later. Also, that name is so not cute." Suzie gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran along.

With the sister gone, Henry moved into the private training room made for his family. His siblings didn't need this small place so Suzie and Henry were the only ones that used it.

Once inside, Tesla came out of the device with an excited mood.

He was such a small creature that Henry could carry him in his arms like a little child. Henry tapped the device and equipped Tesla with the equipment he had thought about when they were on their outing.

His parents had given him excellent rookie gear for his partner once they heard about it. With a tap, Tesla was wearing silver light armor on his small torso and a helmet with a sharp horn in the middle.

Finally there were the sharp tips for the long ears.

Terriermon used their horns and long ears to fight in close combat while producing wind bullets from their lungs for medium range.

With the metallic equipment, Tesla could gouge his foes with the sharp horn and shred them with his metallic storm from now on instead of just beating them with his ears.

Tesla almost fell over from the weight but didn't complain as he was very happy about them. The helmet wasn't just for protection as it had other functions.

The red visor helped him zoom on targets and focus on them. He could tell the temperature and direction.

It had sensors on it that could warn of enemies.

"Thank you Henry, I love it." Tesla exclaimed as he hugged Henry's leg. He was very happy and Henry patted his head.

"Good, now we will start training and you will need to get used to the weight. After that I will keep on increasing it, so your physical stats can improve." Henry explained his plain and showed the schedule of the training through the usage of holograms.

Tesla acted tsundere and let go of Henry's leg and acted calm, wiping away his childish side.

He just looked adorable even when he wanted to look serious.

"I can do it, and will we also play with electronics?" Tesla asked as he was very much interested in those things as it was his natural disposition.

Depending on the trainer, the Terriermon could end up hating machines or loving them. It was dependent on the upbringing.

Tesla was showing interest now and it was Henry's duty to manage that interest properly to keep it balanced. He was interested in robotics and had been learning the family business but Henry didn't want beast digimon to become robots.

He will get robot digimon for that role.

There was the thing with robot digimon, they had the personality of a cardboard and emotions of a wall.

"Once we are done with the training, we will relax for a few hours and have lunch with our friends before going to the lab and playing with some electronics. I will teach you everything from the start and you will easily make these things." Henry was passionate about such topics and it showed in his voice. His passion influenced Tesla, increasing their bond further.

Tesla seeing the shining eyes of hiss master and the examples of his future conquest couldn't help but shout in joy and give a hop.

With that issue settled, Tesla and Henry stretched before doing physical work outs.

It wasn't hard to see that Tesla was physically very weak and had difficulty following the routine. Henry had to adjust it according to his performance and continued to encourage him with words and sweets.

It was a good thing that the device could help in knowing the emotional condition of the partner or he would have been lost at some points.

It was especially vital for people like Rika, who were bad at reading emotions and expressing them.

With the physical work out finished, the duo took a short rest where Henry talked to Tesla so that he didn't feel down about it.

Just like Naruto and the others, Henry was also forced to lower his training for his partner so that it didn't make them feel bad and to give them the attention.

They would finish the training once the partner was asleep and didn't need their attention.

Following that was the spar where Henry had difficulty fighting his partner, as he disliked hurting people close to him.

Tesla was not a natural fighter like Luna and his attacks were very easy to predict, and dodge. The armor made Tesla even slower.

Tesla didn't have a human body so he couldn't copy Henry's moves.

Henry beat him throughout the spar and continued to give him commands to adjust his style. Tesla wasn't a natural fighter but he had a fast mind that could understand complex things faster than all the other starters of this team.

Henry gave him a pattern when to use the horn attack, when to use the wind attack and various methods for this move and how to fight using the ears.

For now he only taught him such basics but Henry intended to arm his little cute bunny and make him a cute murder machine.

He planned to have him carry bombs, poison bombs and electric guns on his tiny arms.

All these could be further manipulated according to his needs when he was in battle. He had gotten the humanoid card for his digimon, so he could give Tesla further enhancement when needed in battle.

His future evolution was Gargomon, Rapidmon and Mega-Gargomon.

The line was fine but Henry was going to adjust their weaponry and make Tesla the armory of the team.

Hearing about his plans, Tesla was impressed by his master and overjoyed by this draft from the future. It was not a complete picture as Henry wished to experience the world and take his time with his partner to get the final image.

"Henry is the best!" By the end, Tesla forgot about the pain and suffering as he jumped into Henry's arms like a happy child.


In some other part of the world, in the same city, Takato woke up with an excited scream. He had wanted to stay up all night working on his plans for his partner but his parents weren't having any of it and got him to rest.

Takato came from a humble background in the start but his family improved as he grew up and now they owned many restaurants and bakeries around the city.

When he was a little kid they used to live in a small place that also acted as the bakery, but now they owned a large house.

His parents were humble people so they didn't get a huge mansion or anything. They liked living in a small house. It was their dream house.

It was a small villa with six rooms and a small lawn. In this place Takato lived with his parents, little sister Airi, maid, cook and personal trainer.

His parents always made time for them but they got people hired just in case they got busy.

Takato grew up to be a creative, friendly and active child because of this background. He was taught to appreciate what he had and work for what he wanted instead of envying others.

It was his chill personality that got him a seat with the rich kids.

Coming back to our hero, Takato snapped awake as the excitement took over him. He was always the most expressive among the team members and he never held back his joy.

He expressed it and shared it. Though, he would never share his sadness with others.

Throwing of the blanket, Takato rolled towards the bed side and got out of bed with a bounce as he jumped towards the table where he had placed the digivice.

"Good Morning Arthur, are you ready?" Takato called out as he looked towards his partner.

Arthur was a Guilmon, a digimon that was related to the dragons and one of its paths led towards the Dragon of Destruction.

It looked a handsome little thing but the species was highly competitive and had destructive tendencies. The harmless outer appearance put people at peace before mauling them.

Unlike the wild digimon, Arthur was modeled after Takato's own personality. It meant that Arthur was geared towards kindness and was very active.

The previous day built upon this blank slate and Takato found what Arthur liked. Arthur liked the bread from his bakery.

He liked meat.

He liked milk.

He liked fast rides and the wind.

He liked fights and explosions.

He didn't like soft things like dolls and such.

He didn't like sad songs and love songs.

He seemed to genuinely like to have fun, making him Takato's new best friend.

Seeing these points, Takato didn't put any books in his room since Arthur wouldn't read them. He needed time to get used to them.

Takato gave him picture books and anime.

There was a room where he could run around and destroy things. He could even fly in that place.

There was a comfortable sleeping place for him and posters of his future evolution. Dragons were very competitive, having the picture of Gallantmon would make Arthur focus on him.

With that out of the way, Arthur was rolling around the room and having fun. He woke up little bit earlier and while shaking his body, he ended up rolling and found it funny.

"Good Morning, Takatomon. Look, I found something fun. Whee!" Arthur continued rolling and hit the wall.

He laughed and got up to look at Takato with a prideful expression. How was that?

Takato chuckled and clapped, "Very good, Arthur is smart. We will play more games later but we have something else to do, remember?"

Arthur looked up and to the side as he scratched his chin with his claw, "Go to the park!"

Just like kid Takato, Arthur had problem on the focus point and only thought about having fun. He liked training personally or he would have needed someone to keep reminding him.

Arthur had never trained so he ended up forgetting about that point.

Takato didn't mind at all and found it funny. His mood couldn't be dampened by anything. He could enjoy the whole day, just running around with Arthur in the fields like a madman.

"That's a good idea but we will do that later. We are going to train and fight. You want to fight other digimon, don't you? You want become stronger than him, right." Takato spoke in a happy and spirited tone, influencing the childish Arthur with his excitement.

Arthur looked at the posters and his mind remembered the fights, his eyes became sharp and he nodded with force.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Arthur wants to fight." Arthur answered excitedly

"Then let's go, but first let's wash." Takato got Arthur out and took him into the bath where they just dumped some water on each other.

It got Arthur into the game but Takato managed to stop him from making a mess.

Once that was done, the duo rushed outside but were stopped by the mother.

"Boys, you are forgetting something."

Takato's mother wasn't a fighter but a chef since she gave up adventuring so her body shape was like the typical adult woman with children.

She was extremely kind and caring.

Takato jumped towards his mother and gave her a hug. Arthur followed his master's action.

"Haha, that is nice. But not the answer, you are forgetting your breakfast." She giggled and playfully hit both boys on the head with a karate chop.

Takato laughed as he had once again forgotten breakfast because of excitement. With that the boys backtracked towards the dining room.


Once the breakfast was over, the duo went to the nearby gym for Tamers. Takato was a regular member at the place since he didn't have a personal gym like his friends.

There were times he would join his friends and this place was for independent training.

When he got there people congratulated him for getting his digimon and especially a Guilmon. Everyone knew that Guilmon's final evolutions were top tier and even if the potential was low, the ultimate form was also very strong.

Thanking everyone for their words, Takato and Arthur passed through the crowd for their training. Seeing the people, Arthur was shy at first but enjoyed the love he was getting. It seems he might develop an outgoing and open personality if he continued to have interest in such reactions.

Standing near the running track, the duo stretched and Takato helped out Arthur since his body was different.

With his guidance and from the data he had gotten from their assistant, Takato managed to help him out. This was a habit that the partner to form so that they would always be flexible and not stiff, it was especially important for this team's Digimon.

With that out of the way, Takato was ready to arm his partner with his equipment. He had gotten many gifts the last night and couldn't refuse from friends.

He wasn't the type to have a huge ego or such.

It was a night of celebration and it was normal to get gifts. He would just make sure to give a return gift in the future.

"Arthur" Takato placed his hands on the partner's shoulders while his body shook from the excitement.

"Takatomon?" Arthur was confused but couldn't help but grin, he knew his master was fun and expected such.

"I am giving you the first gear, your first armor and weapons." Takato shook Arthur and the duo started dancing in joy as Arthur was also happy at the idea.

He liked the idea of getting better.

After few moments of tomfoolery, Takato got to work and gave Arthur his gear.

It was white and red armor over his body, it was thick around the head and torso part but slim around the limbs for ease of movement.

The helmet part didn't cover the mouth since the fangs were part of Arthur's attack pattern along with the fire breathing. It was the same for Tesla but his helmet opening was slightly modified to give more focus fire for his wind bullets.

The tail also got the sharp tip and there were two horns on the helmet for better tackle attacks. The claws were left open. There were small boosters on the back for sudden increase in speed.

Takato planned to give him some guns and bombs later but for now this would be enough.

"How is it?" Takato wanted to know Arthur's reaction.

Arthur felt the equipment on his body and moved it around. He looked at the mirror and saw his appearance.

"Too stuffy, can I take it off?" Arthur scratched at the armor but couldn't remove it.

Takato almost fell down from those words. He definitely didn't expect that answer.

"Arthur, you will need to get used to it or you will get hurt in the battlefield. You want to win or do you want to lose because the enemy hurt you?" Takato asked patiently as he looked at him with a serious expression.

Arthur shook his head and he really didn't like things on his body.

"We will only wear it for the training for now, so don't worry. This is training so you can get stronger. You can feel the weight. This will help your physical stats." Takato talked to him and tried to convince him to keep it own.

He finally started to feel slight ounce of the difficulties a trainer would face.

Arthur agreed to it and the duo started training in full force. They ran, worked on the gym equipment, went through the motions and finally sparred.

By the end of it, Arthur had finally learned what pain meant as he was beaten up with the armor and without it.

It was the same for others, as the digimon partners needed to learn how to take hits even without armor or they would be too dependent on items. They would become delicate.

Asura was an exception since he didn't feel physical pain.

The training was hard enough to completely tire out Arthur and he couldn't even get up from the floor, but he enjoyed it. He was happy and felt alive though the spar.

He was a being that indulged in physical activity so it appealed to him and he took to battle very comfortably.

He wasn't very skilled but there was ferociousness and predatorial feel to his fighting.

Takato and Arthur's bond grew with this session but Arthur still disliked the armor. Luna took without a problem while Tesla was smart enough to take it as he needed an upgrade and was afraid of getting hurt.

Asura's body was fake so he didn't count.


"Takato, I hope I am not disturbing." A sweet voice entered his ears as Takato sat with Arthur to cool down after the training session. Arthur was already taking a power nap so Takato was looking at his digivice and going through the results.

"Lucy, I always have time for you." Takato smiled and caught the person talking to him. It was his girlfriend Juri Katou.

Lucy was the fox sock puppet that she used some times. She was unique like that and he loved her antics. Juri was a beautiful and shapely girl with short brown hair and brown eyes.

She was very athletic and had a great body.

She wore a white tank top with black yoga pants that showed her attractive form.

She was very sweet and caring even though her childhood wasn't peaceful.

Takato knew her from elementary school and they have been friends since then, but got together only last year.

Juri came from a difficult family as her mother had died to a digimon attack in the city by the Snake's Den. Her father had become alcoholic and ignored her for a time but Juri remained strong and helped her father cheer up.

With her support and others, the father remarried someone that gave him support. Juri gained a new mother.

The woman was nice and caring but Juri felt that she was an outside in this picture especially once a child was born. Her father gave more attention to the child and she felt lonely.

Even then she took care of her little brother and started playing with sock puppets for him. She held a grudge against the criminal scum and felt loneliness from her family situation but continued to keep her cheerfulness.

That was Takato thought and he felt that Juri was strong. But Naruto told him to support her and increase the bond.

"She is a delicate girl. One more push and she will break." Those were Naruto's words to him and Takato always kept attention towards Juri to avoid such a result. He really loved her and it was mutual, so he wanted it to continue forever.

She was part of their team along with the other friends since Naruto already gave the go.

"Hey, what about Juri?" Juri acted hurt as he pulled her into his lap.

"Of course, Juri gets the preferential treatment." Takato gave her a kiss on the lips and took it very slow. They had both been new at it and played around to get to this stage.

They weren't horny like Naruto but they were hornier than average. Among the group, they had been the only ones in engaged in a real relationship.

"I am satisfied with that answer. So, how was the training?" Juri smiled as she cuddled into his embrace

Takato had his arms around her while she sat on his lap and he placed his head on her shoulder, "It was electrifying. You are gonna love it when your partner arrives."

Juri and the others from the team would get their digimon the next week so they were still waiting for the day very impatiently.

"Is that so, I will trust you on that….I was thinking maybe we could go watch a movie today." Juri asked as they hadn't met yesterday at all, so she wanted to celebrate with him today.

Takato held her tight as he felt his heart beat increase, she was just so sweet.

"What movie?" He still had to ask that question, because let's be honest they didn't always agree.

Juri smiled at the question and her puppet hand bit Takato on the nose, "Trust me, you will like it."
