Renamon: The Doctormon of Love
Chapter 2
King Weregarurumon
Author Notes: Just another revision. Like before, read to catch up on the story, or to enjoy a story that may be very new (and hopefully enjoyable) to you.
Renamon walked out into the clouded field, not knowing what to expect. The bench and previous surroundings were gone, enveloped by the fog. Unlike the cold and nondescript fog of the digital world, this fog was warm, and tinted with several hues. Most of it drifted to the floor, and some hung in the air. "Guess I'm not in Kansas anymore," Renamon said her previous paranoia disappearing.
"You came from Kansas? I always wanted to go there," a voice said. Renamon turned around quickly to see who had spoken out of the nothingness. A yellow reptile - like dog was the only being she saw. Wearing a white coat with blue stripes, complete with scarlet claws at the end, the digimon simply smiled kindly. "I heard that's where Dorothy lives."
A Gabumon. I haven't seen one of those in a while. "The statement wasn't meant to be taken literally," Renamon said. The digimon blushed and nervously rubbed the golden horn atop his head. Renamon looked at him for a moment, and then crossed her arms across her chest. "Are you a guy or girl?" she bluntly asked.
The digimon blushed even more. "We just met. I don't think it's appropriate for us to start dating yet…" Gabumon trailed off.
"You're definitely a guy," Renamon concluded. She turned her back on him, and thought aloud to herself. "Is he under the affect of the potion, or does he genuinely admire me?"
"I don't know. Hey Gabumon, do you think she looks nice?" Another voice asked. Gabumon's face turned its reddest yet. Renamon turned around to see a tall blonde male standing next to the Gabumon's.
"Come on Matt! Don't embarrass me like that!" Gabumon exclaimed. The human named Matt laughed aloud, his blond hair bouncing against his neck.
Renamon looked at the two in puzzlement, and then placed herself into a fighting stance. "You! Matt! Are you a Tamer?" she asked.
Matt looked at Gabumon, who looked at Matt. Matt looked back at Renamon and said, "Tamer? What's a Tamer?" he asked.
"A Tamer is a human who is paired up with a digimon. You have a Gabumon, so that makes you a Tamer." Renamon explained
"Nope. I have no idea what a Tamer is. Maybe Tai and the others know some Tamers," Matt said. He put his fingers to his mouth, and whistled loudly. "Hey guys! Come here for a second!"
Suddenly 11 other kids and digimon appeared out of nowhere. The first one was a tall, brown haired teen. Next to him was an Agumon. Next was an orange haired girl, and a Biyomon flew over her head. A blue haired fellow appeared next, holding a Gommamon in his hands. A short, brown, bowl – haired young boy walked in, carrying a kendo stick in his hands. An Armadillomon sauntered with him, munching noisily on a piece of sushi. A trio of girls came up next. The shortest was a dark brunette wearing pink and white spandex, a Gatomon resting on her shoulders. The next was another brunette, but her hair was a lighter shade. She chatted with a Palmon, who wore a ring of flowers around her head. The tallest of the three had the most unique hair color of all; purple. Her digimon was a Hawkmon, who floated a few inches above her hair. A red head was next, and in his hand was a yellow Pineapple computer. A Tentomon walked next to him, its emotions unknown due to how it was drawn. A trio of boys led the rear of the group. All three of them were play boxing, none of them winning or losing. One of them was wearing an angler hat. A Patamon tried its best to stay on his head, and often had to flap its gigantic ears in order to keep his balance. Another one wore goggles on his dark red spiky hair, the goggles fogging up from the amount of sweat. A Veemon watched the battle excitedly. The last was the tallest of the three. His indigo hair stuck to his forehead, and his purple eyes twinkled with merriment. His partner, who was a Wormmon, looked on the battle cautiously, grimacing when his partner caught a blow.
"Hey, let me introduce you to all of them first." Matt said to Renamon. "The one with a mountain of hair on his head is Tai."
"Funny Matt. That's Tai the Invincible to you!" Tai exclaimed, flexing his muscles. Agumon sweat dropped as he watched his partner.
The orange haired girl pushed Tai slightly. Caught off guard, Tai dropped to the floor. "Whatever Tai. I'm Sora, and Biyomon's my partner," Sora said.
"I'm Joe. Nice to meet you. Oh, and this is Gommamon," Joe said.
"I'm TK and this is Patamon."
"Yolei and Hawkmon's our names, don't wear them out."
"Yolei, that's a really tired line. Mimi at your service." Palmon glared at Mimi before she realized her mistake. "Oh, and this is Palmon."
"Kari and Gatomon."
"Izzy, superhuman genius of the Digidestined with Tentomon."
"Ken, the true genius of the group with the greatest bug digimon of all time, Wormmon." Wormmon blushed at the compliment.
"Cody, kendo master with Armadillomon."
"I shouldn't have to introduce myself and Veemon. I bet wherever you came from knows all about me…" Veemon tugged on Davis' flame jacket, "and Veemon of course."
Renamon looked at the dozen, then looked at the goggle headed boy. "Nope, I don't know any of you. Especially you goggle boy."
The dark red head face vaulted into the clouds. Veemon helped him up, sweat dropping all the while. "Well, in that case, the name is Davis, but you can call me Davis." Davis said.
"I think I will," Renamon said. "So, all of you are Tamers?"
"Yeah, that's the question I wanted to ask. New kids, ever met any Tamers?" Matt asked.
The whole group shook their heads. Izzy went into his thinking mode and paced the area. He then said, "Well, is there anything unique about these Tamers? A uniform, a digimon type, possibly a fan club?"
"Of all the Tamers I met, they all have this little device with them at all times," Renamon answered. "Something like the one in your pocket, but different."
"Is it like this?" Ken asked. He pulled his D – 3 out of his pocket, the interior being completely black, and the edges white.
"It looks similar to that," Renamon said. "I guess you guys aren't Tamers."
"What are Tamers anyway? I know the name seems pretty obvious, but what do Tamers do exactly?" Cody asked. "I know that Digidestined have to protect both the digital and normal world, so maybe Tamers have a similar purpose."
"Digidestined?" Renamon asked. "What are those?" The group then went into the LONG tale of the Digidestined, with great embellishments by certain characters.
"I see. I'm not sure what Tamers are for, but my Tamer goes out and defeats digimon," Renamon explained.
"Oh great! Another person with the Black WarGreymon syndrome!" Davis cried.
"Who's Black WarGreymon?" Renamon asked.
"Psycho mega digimon. Went all over the place, defeating digimon and looking for his purpose in life. Wore a black thong, and had a nice sculpted butt," Yolei explained. All of the digimon and Digidestined's eyes went to straight to Yolei. Yolei flushed a little, and then shouted, "Are you telling me none of you noticed?"
"Yeah, I do have a nice butt! How come no one noticed before?" Agumon exclaimed. Gabumon looked at his friend as if he was a nutcase.
"Agumon, Yolei was talking about BLACK WarGreymon, not WarGreymon," Gabumon explained.
"Black WarGreymon this, Black WarGreymon that! I'm tired of him!" Agumon exclaimed angrily. "Give me that Tai!" Agumon shouted, yanking Tai's digivice from his belt. He then produced a bottle containing a blue liquid. The bottle read, "QingLongmon's Digicore Juice! Need that extra boost to digivolve to your highest level? Come and get some!" Popping off the top, Agumon gulped the whole bottle noisily.
Agumon warp – digivolved to… WarGreymon!
"See! My butt is just as good as Black WarGreymon!" WarGreymon exclaimed. The Digidestined closed their eyes, while Palmon, Biyomon, and Gatomon got a very close up view. Renamon stared for a while, but blushed and turned her back to WarGreymon. Suddenly, WarGreymon dedigivolved to Agumon for unknown reasons. A very mad Agumon looked at the bottle of, "QingLongmon's Digicore Juice," and read the fine print.
"Won't work if the digital world's defenses are weakened?!" Agumon exclaimed.
"Is it done?" Tai asked, his eyes still closed very tightly.
"Yeah," Palmon said dejectedly, putting away a bottle of rubbing oil.
Kari slowly opened her eyes. Since WarGreymon was gone, she opened her eyes completely. She then noticed that her camera was gone. "Hey, where's my camera?" Kari asked, her digital camera gone from its usual location around her neck.
"Camera? What camera?" Gatomon in turn asked, hiding the camera behind her back. She passed it to Biyomon, who passed it to Palmon, who tossed it into Mimi's open bag.
"Well, with that done, tell us anything that might help us understand what's going on," Joe asked. Renamon nodded, and went into her history.
"What confuses me is how you guys got into my reality. If our worlds are two separate, but parallel universes, why were you able to come into my world?" Renamon asked.
"Plot holes," TK said simply. "Those are some bad mothers."
"Yep, we were all just walking, and then we all fall through this gigantic plot hole. Not as if we never fell through one before," Ken said.
"Yeah, remember when Willis 'created' Diablomon?" Sora jokingly added.
"No, it's 'Wallace', not Willis. And it's not Diablomon, it's Diaboramon!" Izzy smirked. "Wallace doesn't even exist! Those idiot dubbers always make me talk about him!"
"How about when they merged three separate movies into one? Man, that was just stupid!" Gatomon replied.
"Let's not forget dubbers! They give me such nightmares sometimes!" Mimi said.
"Yeah, dubbers are scary! How about when they dubbed all of the digimon deaths?"
"Or the catfight between Angewomon and LadyDevimon?"
"What about all the 'relationships' on the show?"
"Yeah, and what about them making me a complete idiot?" Davis said. Complete silence followed, and a couple tumbleweeds passed by.
"Uh, Davis? Hate to burst your bubble, but in both versions, you are an idiot," Yolei said.
"Shut up Yolei!"
"Anyway, you seem to be having some problem," Matt added. "Can you tell us about it?"
"How did you know that I had a problem?" Renamon asked.
"The author of this fantastic fanfic just handed some information to me," Matt said, winking very obviously. Suddenly, a pile of money appeared under him. He examined the cash and frowned. "Hmmm… the twenties aren't as crisp as usual and it seems a little low. Guess I have to start appealing to the female writers again…"
"Well, I do have this problem. All of these male digimon keep following me around, and I was never interested in them. They're under the influence of this weird potion, and they aren't taking no for an answer," Renamon explained.
"I see. So you want to get rid of these guys, turn into a human, and get it own with your partner?" Tai said coolly.
"Ye- no!" Renamon shouted. "Why would I want to get it on with my partner?"
"It would make so many male fans happy, therefore increasing your ratings threefold," Tai explained simply.
"Whatever. Anyway, this weird little gremlin digimon splashed some weird red liquid on me."
"Huh. Never heard of him. And," Izzy started, "neither has my digimon analyzer. Perhaps I need to update it to version 7.0…"
"Well, maybe we don't need to know exactly who the digimon to solve the problem," Ken said. The other Digidestined looked at Ken in astonishment. "I believe the capabilities of our digivices and D-3s should be enough the counter the effects of the enigmatic concoction." The other Digidestined nodded their heads in agreement, some more uncertainly than others did.
"OR," Izzy suddenly interjected, rudely cutting off Ken, "we can use the new program I just downloaded from Gennai." He carefully placed his laptop on the floor, while whispering to Ken, "That'll teach you to try and steal my thunder!"
"Izzy, you know that was totally uncalled for!" Ken debated. "Just because I was elucidating a more efficient means of dealing with the quandary of our newly made acquaintance, that doesn't mean you can allow your covetousness to physically manifest into assaulting me!" Ken smugly tossed back a lock of his indigo hair. "Although I must admit, your jealousy is understood and pitied. I mean, not only a Bishónen, but I'm extremely intelligent, skilled in the martial arts, and-"
"You'll marry Yolei in approximately 25 years," Izzy countered.
"Touché."
"Hey!"
"I mean, of course I'm glad to be marrying Yolei in approximately 25 years! There's nothing more I would want! In fact, I only wish it was sooner!" Ken said, trying to save himself with a pathetic cover. Of course, Yolei saw right through it and chased Ken all throughout the area.
"Anyway, this program allows us to erase any anomalies created by a digimon. Davis, may I borrow your D-3?" Izzy asked. Davis obediently handed it over and Izzy interfaced it with his laptop, allowing him to download the program into the D-3. Handing it back to Davis, Izzy explained, "It will take a while to take effect, but all the people who you encounter will forget the whole incident. Oh yes, I would close my eyes if I were you; the light is quite bright."
"Wait, hold on!" shouted Davis. He and the rest of the Digidestined slipped on black shades, yes the digimon also. Even Yolei, who currently had Ken in the Walls of Jericho, slipped on the shades. Davis pressed some random button on his D-3, and Renamon was blinded by an intense white light.
"Well, until we find a way out of here, you'll have some good old fashioned 'girl time' with us girls! Come on!" Mimi exclaimed, dragging Renamon by the arms. Renamon tried to fight back, but when Mimi gets into 'Girl Time', it's impossible to even try. Renamon soon found this out as Mimi easily dragged a struggling Renamon. "You'll love it! We'll get some attention to those electric blue eyes of yours with some makeup, give you a manicure with pedicure, and fix up that lovely fur by your neck!"
At that comment, Renamon stopped struggling. She looked Mimi square in the eye and said, "Can you really do that?"
"Sure! I experienced the worst of bad hair days! I think I can handle some wild hair!" Mimi proudly exclaimed. "It'll be nothing! In fact, I think I can give you a new look!"
"I have been wanting to do something with this fur," Renamon replied, puffing up the fur. "But, I've been so busy. You know, killing digimon, stealing their data, etc, etc."
Mimi put up a finger (Not the middle…) and waved it admonishingly. "That is a big no-no. No fighting, it always cause stress and weakens the roots of the hair."
"I guess you're right. You do seem to know a lot about hair care and such."
"Honey, I could write a book about it!"
***************
Ruki woke up, her face drenched with sweat. Her breathing came out in short, hurried breaths. She wiped her forehead with her arm, and her breathing slowed down. "What a weird dream. Why would I dream about Renamon getting a makeover AND enjoying it?" she thought aloud. She laid her head back on her pillow, lazily looking at her plain ceiling of her room. Her head plopped to the side, and she looked at her clock. 6:00. She's in trouble, I already know. She's never late.
"Ruki, honey?" a voice asked. It sounded dulcet and quiet, but Ruki covered her ears with her pillows. "Ruki, are you in there?" the voice asked again, starting to fill with worry. Ruki removed the pillow from her head angrily, and gritted her teeth.
"Yes mom. I'm inside here."
"Oh good, I wanted to say goodbye before I left. I'm leaving for that modeling gig for the Tokyo Video Game Fair (something like that)."
"Okay."
"I'll be coming back late, around 11:00. You okay with that?"
"Yeah, the dark never scared me before and it won't start now."
"Well, okay. I'll see you later. Are you sure that you'll be okay with that?"
"Yeah, go have a ball. Blow up some aliens, solve a puzzle, and go do what models do when they're bored. I'll be okay."
There was a painful silence. Ruki heard several short clicks pass by her room, meaning that her mother left. Suddenly, the clicks came back.
"Almost forgot," Ruki's mom said. Her hand popped in, holding a small remote in her hand. She pressed the button, and her hand disappeared from sight. "Ms. Riana keeps complaining about her poor cat. I wish you would leave that poor thing alone…" A web of lasers covered the window, making it impossible to open the window.
Ruki waited until she heard her mother's car leave the driveway. She walked up to her window and smiled. How do they expect this to keep me inside? She thought. Unwrapping a stick of gum, Ruki used the aluminum wrapper to disrupt the flow of lasers. "Too easy," Ruki said, smiling as she climbed down the side of her house.
After giving Ms. Riana's cat a through torturing, Ruki took the bus. Why? She didn't know. Where? She didn't know where either. She knew that she was looking for Renamon, but she could be anywhere. Something told her to take the bus, and since she had no idea where to go in the first place, she did it. Ruki felt the bus stop, slightly jarring her thoughts. She stood up and left the bus. Adjusting her jeans, Ruki set off to find Renamon.
Ruki crossed the corner. She had no idea where Renamon was, and walking wasn't helping. She spotted a vending machine, sporting sodas. She pulled some cash out of her pockets, and finding the right amount, went to the machines.
Coca – Cola always hits the spot for some reason, Ruki thought to himself. She gulped the last of her soda, and wiped her mouth. She peered at the water-beaded can for a moment, and happened to see a very interesting picture in the reflection. Two men, dressed in black suits seemed to be creeping toward her in a very peculiar manner. Ruki turned around quickly, trying to catch the men in their act. Unfortunately, the men were ready, both of them freezing on the second. A dark grin opened on Ruki's face.
She turned around, allowing the men to creep up on her. She emptied the can, and tried to crush it against her head. "I really need to stop doing that," Ruki said as she rubbed her forehead. She tossed the can into the recycling bin and bent to tie her shoes. Using the reflection from a puddle, she watched the duo walk closer and closer. She calmly stood up and brushed her shirt off. She waited until the pair almost grabbed her to turn around, stopping them right in their tracks.
"Whoa, these are some ugly statues," Ruki said. She walked up to the both of them, glancing at the both of them. "They look pretty realistic." Grabbing their noses, she wrenched their faces all over the place until they turned red. "Feels pretty fake. No one's face is that greasy." Ruki wiped her hands on the suits of the men. She then ruffled their hair, and gave them noogies. "At least they really paid attention to the details. They even included dandruff." She then left the pair standing like a pair of fools.
She walked down the block, stopping to pretend she was looking at her watch. The two men ran after her, angry at their humiliation. Ruki waited until they nearly had their hands on her neck, then turned around. The two men once again stopped in the middle of their movements. Ruki peered at the two curiously. "What are you ugly things doing here again?" she asked aloud. Picking up a conveniently placed can of paint, she looked at the men. "You guys need a repaint. I think," she paused, looking at the can. "Pink is the your best color!"
After painting the guys pink all over, Ruki continued to look at the two doubtingly. "You guys are still hideous. Maybe I should beat it out of you." Picking up another conveniently placed metal bat, Ruki beat the silly crap out of the two. After beating them black, blue, and several other colors, Ruki finally stopped her onslaught. "Man, it's too hard to do this. You guys are way too ugly." She then noticed a pair of scissors, again conveniently placed near her. "Maybe a haircut is in order…"
Ruki dropped the scissors to the floor to view her masterpieces. She gave one of the men a Mohawk while the other received spikes. "Nope, you guys are still ugly. I guess there is nothing to be done," Ruki said dejectedly. She turned and left the two. As soon as they saw her leave, they both collapsed to the floor.
**********************
An hour later, Ruki still was looking for Renamon. The daylight was rapidly disappearing, and Ruki was rapidly getting tired. She lifted her strained eyes and looked across the park she was in. "Renamon, where are you?" she shouted, her voice hoarse from all of her yelling. Suddenly, two pairs of hands clamped unto her shoulders. She twisted around to face her captors, and gasped in surprise.
"Gasp! Agent Jay and Kay?!" Ruki, well, gasped. Yes, the two men did bear a certain resemblance to the famous MIB agents, but there were subtle differences. Ruki studied their faces more intently then realized their identity.
"Hey, you're those two statues I saw earlier! How did you ever come to life?" Ruki asked innocently, having a hard time concealing grin. One of the men shook his Mohawk, and then started to speak.
"You knew exactly what you were doing, you little imp!" he shouted. "Now, come with us."
"Okay," was the surprising response from Ruki. The two men themselves seemed surprised, but their faces turned into grins. "Wait. I can't go with you unless you can touch your toes," Ruki said. The two men looked at each other, then simply shrugged. They both tried to touch their toes, but failed. "Can't do it, huh?" she asked. The guy with spikes nodded, his forehead drenched with sweat. "Oh okay. Let me help you out!" Ruki shouted. She elbowed the two in the lower regions, and then ran away. They both doubled over simultaneously, falling to their knees. The man with the Mohawk looked up as he fell to his knees. His right arm stretched out and grabbed a surprised Ruki in the middle of her jog.
"What the…!" she shouted as her body was pulled back to the pair. "No one could do that!" she shouted disbelievingly.
Suddenly, the two men transformed into Bakemon, their row of teeth smiling unappealingly. Before Ruki could react, the two grabbed her roughly and dragged her to her knees.
"Hey, what's the whole point of this!?" Ruki shouted angrily.
"You're too stupid to understand, so I won't even try to explain it to you," a dark figure stated. Ruki looked up, seeing a dark figure in front of her.
"Who are you shorty?" Ruki taunted.
"My size is unimportant!" the dark figure shouted.
"That's for sure…" Ruki murmured under her breath.
"What was that?!"
"Nothing. Who are you anyway?"
"Well, I guess it won't matter if I do reveal my identity to you. I am…"
I did not do it last time, and I am not doing it now. You could always read the next chapter to find out if your curiosity is killing you. Of course, after you review this chapter.
