Yes, I'm back to write another Digimon fic. This time, it's not avatars like I said, but a new series known as 'Digimon Matrix'. It will be sort of a rip-off of all the Digimon anime, plus whatever stuff i create from my mind. By now you might have guessed who Izumi's flame is, but for those of you who don't know, this chapter will probably allow you to make a considerably accurate guess. Note: I know next to nothing about Izumi except for how she spirit evolves, who she evolves to, and what she looks like.
Everyone is 14 here, except Ryou who just turned 15.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Spoiler warning; but think of it as a preview of what is to come in Frontier.
Digimon Matrix : Episode 2
Flirting with each other; The Dark one revealed!
~~~Below the clouds in the sky, on a grassy field~~~
"Halt there young ones..." A booming voice resonated from the clouds. A flash of lightning, and Azulongmon stood...uh, hovered around them with all his length. "You shall need transportation and rest for your journey. You must journey to the Avatar Stone, where you will find great power...and your final destination. But first, a gift, from my master."
The group of teenagers looked up to see one of Azulongmon's digicores fly into the grass close to them. It immediately began to increase in size rapidly and lengthen, so that after a while there was a caravan where the digicore was.
"That is a caravan. It is larger inside than it looks from the outside. It is indestructible...to most Digimon. You may rest in it, and drive it, but the fuel refills itself very slowly. I suggest you walk most of the journey, or fly, because the caravan can be folded up using the blue button in the panel on its side. I bid thee farewell, and good luck."
"Well, I guess we should just go in...I mean it is getting dark," Ryou suggested, gaining the approval of the others. They entered...
~~~Inside the caravan~~~
"Whoa...who knew the caravans in the Digimon world were so huge!" Kai exclaimed. Stepping into the caravan, the inside looked more like a flat. There was a kitchen, three inter-connected double-bedrooms, a living room, and even a TV (which could be tuned to normal channels) with video games attached. They sat down (after exploring) around a round table and began to talk.
"Ok, let's settle the matter of rooming. First of all, TK will probably want to stay with Kari...." TK nodded, then realizing that Kari was blushing, added "Well, she *is* injured..."
"Wait a second. If Kari stays with TK who do I stay with?" Izumi asked. Ryou smiled.
"That was what I was getting to. Izumi will then have to stay with a boy..." Kai begin to yell "Pick me! Pick me!" while Ryo just grinned mischievously. Ryou cleared his throat.
"Well, since we can see the immaturity of the other boys, Izumi will have to stay with me..." Ryou grinned at Izumi, who promptly laughed it off.
"No. Let me decide then. Ryo and TK in one room, me and Kari in the next, and Ryou and Kai in the last room. Any objections? No? Good. Let's go Kari...we need to talk." Izumi dragged Kari away to their room, while Ryo dragged TK into their own room. Ryou and Kai stared at each other for a while, then jumped to the TV and began a video-game tournament.
~~~Ryo and TK's room, 30 minutes later~~~
There was a knock on the door connecting Ryo's and Izumi's rooms. Ryo opened the door, to see Izumi on the other end, with her door open. Both doors had to be open to allow access through them. "Get decent, we're coming over." Ryo grinned at Izumi. "Aw…and I was hoping to catch you indecent!" Izumi laughed and shook her head. Boys. Wait till they see Kari.
A while later there was again a knock on the door. TK opened it…
…To see Kari in a small, tight dress (which had fallen out of a large, gaping plot hole). TK just stood there and stuttered for a while, while Kari blushed somewhat uncomfortably. Izumi gave her a shove, and she fell into TK's arms. By some special ability, the two teleported themselves onto TK's bed and began talking (sitting down, not lying down! This is a PG story man, not R!)
Ryo stared at Izumi with a mocking, suspicious look. They went sat down at a table. "You did this didn't you?"
Izumi looked up. "Did what?"
"The whole small dress thing with Kari. You knew her beauty would…*ahem* captivate TK. You planned it, didn't you?"
"So what?"
"So what? SO WHAT?!" Ryo stood up, looking extremely agitated. TK and Kari looked at him. "I could seriously get to like you, Izumi…" Ryo sat down again, smiling. "So, why are you here?"
"Well, since Kari is keeping TK busy…" Kari and TK blushed, then tightened their grip on each other's hands. "…I thought I might come here to flirt with you, to show them how it's done."
Ryo laughed, then hesitated for a moment. "…Can I get another kiss then?"
"Only if you save me again."
"Sure. The Digimon attack theory. Here, read this." Ryo handed Izumi a piece of paper with writing scrawled all over it.
' Da Digimon Attack Theory, Version 0.1 Omega
How do Digimon attack with their special attacks, which seem to have magic in them? Well, to us, Digimon attacks are like spells. Some things need to be said, silently or otherwise, and some actions done, for us to successfully launch a Digimon attack. The Digimon have this as an inborn trait.
For example, Fairymon's Tornado Gumba, or Tornado Kick. The words, which can be muttered, are 'Tornado Whirlwind Kick Attack', then 'Tornado Gumba' or 'Tornado Kick' yelled out (basically the name of the attack), before she stands on her hand and twirls her leg around. There are varying command words for each attack, and not every attack can be performed.'
Izumi read the first part, then looked down to see a list of all the attacks she could do, with the required words, attack name, required actions, etc. She looked up at Ryo, who was grinning broadly. "Now can I have my kiss?"
Izumi snickered. "Sure. Close your eyes and pucker your lips." Ryo complied, and soon he felt something enter his mouth. Ryo's eyes opened widely.
"Chocolate!" Ryo yelled, attracting the attention of TK and Kari, who looked like they had been disrupted from an affectionate gesture. Izumi laughed, and Kari giggled. "That wasn't a kiss."
TK sighed. "Oh no. Kari, why'd you have to tell Izumi all the tricks you played on me?" Kari hugged TK to comfort him, and both laughed.
"That was a Hershey's kiss, if you couldn't already guess." Izumi told Ryo. Ryo had an evil gleam in his eyes. "Would you rather give me an ice-cream kiss then?" TK and Kari stopped laughing abruptly.
"An ice-cream kiss?"
"Yeah, that's TK and Kari's first kiss, didn't Kari tell you? Or maybe she was too embarrassed, it happened while they were still too young…" Kari's face turned beet red, while she looked at TK accusingly. TK was surprised and embarrassed, and the combination of the two contorted. "Don't worry Kari, he didn't tell me. I just happen to be a very good spy…" Kari whispered something to TK, upon which an evil grin crossed his face.
"Hey, Ryo, Izumi, for setting us up, we've decided to set you up."
"How? We aren't a declared couple you know, and I doubt we are a couple." Izumi gave Ryo a small undetected wink.
"Well here's the deal. I kiss Kari, and you two kiss. Fair enough?" TK asked. Ryo looked blankly at him.
"What's so special about that?"
"Nothing. Just wanted to see you two kissing. So how's about it?" Kari asked, looking innocently at the both of them. Ryo leaned towards Izumi and whispered in her ear.
"You choose. If you don't want, never mind. I really don't mind kissing you…" Ryo leaned back and grinned.
"Ok then. I kiss Ryo, and you two -" Izumi did not finish her sentence, for immediately TK and Kari went into a warm hug, and they shared a warm kiss as well. After a while, they broke off, and Kari smiled. TK looked breathless.
" –share a kiss…"
"You could've at least waited for her to speak…" TK shook his head, while Kari giggled. "Now you two."
~~~In the Living Room, a few minutes ago~~~
Ryou and Kai were at round 2561 of their tournament, and now Kai was leading by 1281-1280. Ryou, however, looked set to win the next game. "This is what I signed up for. Glorious duel between two powerful ones, and duking it out the old-fashioned arcade style. Only…6328 games to go, before we decide who's boss of the 9999 unlimited video game tournament. Don't give up too easily…"
~~~TK and Ryo's room~~~
Ryo stood uneasily in front of Izumi. He's only acting. He ain't even scared one bit. Izumi told herself. Ryo grinned at her, then pulled her into his arms. Izumi did not remember much of what happened later, only a feeling that if Ryo thought that he could make Izumi his girlfriend just by one kiss, he was right.
~~~The Next Day, TK and Ryo's room~~~
The first beams of sunlight gently touched Kari's cheek. She woke up almost immediately, then realised TK had her arms around her, and they were lying on TK's bed. They were fully clothed, thankfully, and TK had a blissful smile on his sleeping face even as Kari sneaked out of his hug.
Kari looked around, and noticed that there was no one else in the room. She quickly sneaked into her room through the small 'trap-door' and saw Ryo and Izumi sitting on the bed. Ryo had an arm around her, and Izumi laid her head on Ryo's shoulder, while both of them leaned back on a pillow. Kari coughed softly, and Izumi woke up immediately. Ryo was still asleep.
"Have fun with Ryo last night?" Kari asked, mischievously and softly. Izumi shook her head. "I think I fell asleep after that kiss. Don't worry, we did nothing that you and TK wouldn't do…a few years ago." Izumi grinned, while Kari blushed. They both left the room, careful to exit by the door of their room. *Boys* they silently thought in unison, as they left their sleeping boyfriends behind.
As soon as the door closed, TK leapt out of bed. Walking over to the trap-door, he saw Ryo messing with his hair in the girl's mirror. "Come on, you never mess with your hair."
Ryo grinned at TK, and the two exited (using the door of their room) grinning. They were careful to leave the trapdoor open, and they both thought *Girls* simultaneously.
~~~Outside the house~~~
Storm clouds gathered in the air. Black clouds swirled around in the sky, as a light mist started to cloud the vision of all that were in the vicinity. A storm was brewing, and from the looks of it, a Starbucks waiter was brewing it.
~~~In the house, dining room~~~
"It's going to rain soon…" Ryo told the rest while examining the window. "I don't think we'll be able to get anywhere soon."
"Wait a second. Those aren't rain-clouds, those are storm clouds. As in Thunderstorm. Thunder. Lightning. Something evil approaches…" Ryou muttered thoughtfully, a little too loudly though.
"Very dramatic, aren't you?" Izumi asked curiously. Ryou grinned at her, for no reason other than to try and woo her.
"Well, he's right. Something evil approaches, and somehow I think they are skeleton warriors…" The group left the table and walked to the window, where they saw a few dozen skeleton warriors and archers gather in the clearing in front of their caravan.
"It's morphing time!" Kai yelled enthusiastically. Izumi shook her head and laughed.
"No, it's Matrix time!" Ryo answered back, as they ran out of the caravan and matrix-evolved right in front of the skeleton warriors.
"Matrix-Activate!"
"Heromon!" "Neomon!" "Spritemon!" "Draconimon!" "Celestialmon M!" "Celestialmon F!"
The skeletons just looked on for a while, then turned away bored. When everyone was done, they yelled loudly and charged.
The 6 just blasted for a while, until Ryou declared "There are too many of them!".
"TK, let's go. Ultra Matrix Activate! Angel Titanmon!"
"Ultra Matrix Activate! Omni Seraphimon!"
Ryou looked at the skeleton in rage as a robed figure revealed himself. He was Necromon, an Undead sorcerer who could summon skeletons and zombies to fight for him. "YOU SHOULD *NOT* BE IN THIS WORLD! You should not be summoning these vile creatures into this world. I will stop you!" Ryou raged. "Ultra Matrix – Activate!" Neomon reformed itself into Justimon, but then both arms turned into cybernetic arm implants which could reform itself into either fists, claws or a beam rifle-cannon, independent of the other arm. Justimon got a cyber-techno-helmet, and his cape was larger and wider. "SUPREME JUSTIMON!!!" Supreme Justimon immediately reconfigured his hands into laser Gauss-rifles and blasted the skeletons into bone-dust. Angel Titanmon glowed, and whenever the light touched the skeletons, they dropped once more, as a pile of bones.
"Let Justice prevail today; let these foul minions experience Supreme Justice! All ye shall be baptised by fire! Ultra Matrix Activate!" Draconimon turned into a gigantic man, then his arms, legs and head turned into that of a dragon's. Scales appeared on his skin, and two large, mercury wings erupted from his back. There was a holy glow around him, as he breathed holy fire at the skeleton. "Holy Dracomon!"
The skeletons, seeing four large beings in front of them, three of them holy, knelt down and did the demonic equivalent of praying. Necromon cursed and fired off blasts of cold energy and bone spears at them, but it was no use.
Izumi and Kari had, long ago, returned to human form, and now they stood at the edge of the clearing watching the fight. "Boys, can't live with em, can't live without em." Izumi joked. Kari giggled. "At least they're doing the dirty work for us."
As soon as the last skeletal warrior had been crumbled, the four Hybrid-Ultras had surrounded Necromon, charging up a last attack. Necromon knelt down and prayed to the ground. "Master! I am in great need! Please! Help me!"
Omni Seraphimon looked around, and after a while concentrated on Necromon. "Well, looks like you've been abandoned. Hello…"
"And Good bye!" Kai yelled, but at that moment there was an ear-piercing screech from the skies. A Chimaera had appeared out of nowhere. It was totally black, its eyes were red, and acid dripped from its maw. It clutched something in its front claw, which it dropped to Necromon. It opened its maw and spewed forth deadly acid at the caravan, before swooping down and grabbing both Izumi and Kari. It flew away quickly.
"IZUMI!" "KARI!" Angel Titanmon and Omni Seraphimon turned to leave, but Necromon absorbed the energy from the black thing, which was in fact a black digi-core and dark digivolved to Lich Daemon, a large skeletal knight wearing crimson armour, riding a skeletal horse. Lich Daemon rode away, with Ryou and Kai giving chase, while TK and Ryo flew off towards the Chimaera.
~~~3000 Leagues above the sea, in the Chimaera's claws~~~
"Hello my pretty ladiessssss," The Chimaera hissed at them, occasional drops of acid falling from his maw. "You may call me Wyrmmon. I am one of the rare Black Acid Wyrmss left in any realm. I am bringing you to my Masterss, yessssssssss."
Izumi and Kari kicked and struggled against its claws to no avail. "It iss no use, it would take a great long sword to even scratch my –AH!" It yelled, as a blast of holy energy exploded in its back. It dropped Kari in its surprise, and sent her hurtling through the air into the side of the mountain.
"TK! Save me………………!" Kari yelled as she fell. Omni Seraphimon flew down at her and grabbed her in his arms, before they hit the mountainside and rolled down the slope. TK reverted to human form not long after they started rolling.
"You die!" Angel Titanmon and Wyrmmon began a ferocious aerial battle, until Wyrmmon turned and fled towards the sea. Angel Titanmon managed to fire off a Titan Blast straight at Wyrmmon, who was hit head-on. He dropped Izumi, which Angel Titanmon managed to catch.
"You're such an angel, Ryo." Izumi had time to say, before Wyrmmon blasted an extremely corrosive breath of black acid at Angel Titanmon. He immediately became unconscious, and returned to human form. Ryo, still clutching Izumi tightly, fell into a fast-flowing stream, while TK and Kari rolled down the mountain. Ryou and Kai were still pursuing Lich Daemon.
~~~End of Episode~~~
"Next time, on Digimon Matrix!"
TK and Kari are sitting in an eagle's nest, on the slope of the mountain. The eagle returns, angry, and knock the weakened TK off, falling to almost certain doom.
"When TK is falling to his death, can Kari evolve in time to save him before his bones crumble from the impact?"
Ryo and Izumi standing on a beach. A tentacle grabs Ryo's leg and drags him into the sea, Izumi starting to panic.
"Ryo has a fear of the sea; when he is being dragged into it, can Izumi help him overcome his fear, or will he drown?"
"Don't miss the next exciting episode of Digimon Matrix: Episode 3! Title not known!"
