Disclaimer: I own none of the Digimon characters that will appear for the duration of the story. If you liked the first chapter, that's good. Chapter 1 was kind of like part 1, and this is part 2, so Tucker's perspective will continue. But first, let's see what happened outside the VR pod when the gang disappeared...
"All right," a pretty woman said after closing the door to the VR pod, "let's start the game for these guys."
She started pushing some buttons and the pod began to hum and glow to show it was in use. Some kids were disappointed that they didn't win the draw and were all enviously whispering.
"Man, those kids are lucky," one boy said.
"Yeah, I wonder what it's like?" a girl asked.
"Maybe they'll tell us," another boy contributed.
The pretty woman was monitoring the kids in the game through a small camera in the pods.
"So far, so good," she said. She sounded doubtful. She knew that this game was already tested and approved for public use, but there was a rumor going on that there was something weird about the game. Like it was a world all it's own...
Something began happening to the pod. Lightning seemed to generate from it. And it gave off a weird sound. Like screaming from inside.
She had to stop the game. She tried to shut it down, but it didn't work. She tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. She called a few people to help her, but it didn't work. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light and the pod was normal again.
She immediately opened the door to tell the kids sorry about that, but was only greeted with an empty room.
"What happened?" a boy asked.
"Um, we're going to have to close the place early today. Sorry!" the woman apologized as she and some other monitors began to push the kids out of the arcade. What were the parents of the missing kids going to think? Were the rumors about the game really right? And would she lose her job?
Digimon X: Game 2-Ittsy Bittsy Dokugumon
By DigiScanner-Shonen
The first thing I'm going to do is open my eyes. Y'know, to see the surroundings of death. If I was dead, I wanted to know what the afterlife looked like. Here we go.
I opened my eyes and was greeted with a blue sky with white clouds drifting by. Judging from that, I was on my back. I got up and began to look over my body. Amazing! I don't have any scratches or otherwise. Was this death?
I looked to the side and saw a small boy with a short-sleeved purple sweater and a red zigzag pattern going around it, white pants and blond hair, turned over on his stomach. I headed over to him and turned him over.
"Hey kid," I asked him, "you okay?"
Wait, kid wasn't his name. And he looked familiar. What was his name? Now I remember, it was Jake.
Jake? Wait a second, Jake was the name of one of the Digimon X winners! Then, there was me, Jake, Erin, Charlie and...Leah! I took a look at our surroundings. It was the area we had picked to go to back in the Real World!
The area we were in was decorated with trees to the right. We must be at the edge of it, then. The left of me was just a kind of desert. Cool! Strange, but cool. Jake managed to wake up and I filled him in on my theory.
"Then if we're here," Jake said, "then Leah, Charlie and Erin must be somewhere around this area!"
"I guess they're in there," I told Jake as I pointed to the forest, "Here's my plan, we get everyone together and then we figure out what to do after that."
"It's better than nothing," Jake said as we headed into the forest.
It seems to be pretty dark in this place. Everywhere you can here sounds of creatures growling. The treetops covered the sky and made the place dark as Jake and I called out for our lost friends. As we covered more and more territory, it became darker and darker. I couldn't see just where I was going and...
"Oof!"
"Watch it!"
"Sorry, sir!" I apologized. It was dark and I had to squint a bit to see the person who I bumped into. He had lots of wild red hair, horns, a red vest, long ears, giant gloves and appeared like a human animal. It looked familiar. I knew I saw it before somewhere...
"Excuse me," the creature asked, "I'm looking for someone by the name of Takeyama, I think? Do you know this guy?"
Takeyama was my last name! How did he know? Unless, he was...
"Flamon?"
"Yes?"
I reached out and touched the creature. He felt real. I wasn't hallucinating. This was real! And he was mine! My own, real Digimon!
"FLAMON!" I called as I took him into a big hug, "I can't believe it! You're actually real! And you know me! That means I'm your partner! This is great! My very own personal--!"
"Um, Tucker?"
"What Jake?" upset that he interrupted my happy fit.
"Look," he pointed.
I sweatdropped when I saw Flamon turning blue.
"Sorry!" I said as I let go of him.
"S'allright."
"Hey Flamon, have you seen any other kids around here? Besides me and him, of course."
"Come to think of it, I saw a girl with red hair back there. She was following me when I mentioned your name to her."
"That's Erin!"
"She's probably around here somewhere." Flamon told me.
Erin took that opportunity to jog up.
"Man, whew," she said in-between gasps, "you run really fast. Huh? Tucker? Jake?"
"Erin, that you?" Jake asked.
"Yeah it's me. What are you two doing here?"
"We're looking for you. Now that we found you, we've gotta find Charlie and Leah," I answered, "Remember how we were all in that VR pod?"
"Yeah. I also remember us being deleted," she said, "and I think I saw Leah a few minutes ago."
"Why didn't you go get her?"
"Well, this guy," she motioned to Flamon, "wanted to get to you no matter what, Tucker."
"Eh heh," Flamon laughed nervously, putting a hand behind his head.
"Then I guess we go back for Leah. Let's go!" I said as I ran off to find her. I liked Leah. I hoped she was okay. She had better be all right. If one of those monsters found her, and she had no Digimon, she'd be done for.
Jake and Erin were behind me as Flamon lead the way. It was kind of hard to follow him since he darted here and there sometimes. I did my best to keep up with my new partner, even though I wasn't quite as fast as a Digimon.
We found Leah a few minutes after chasing Flamon. We briefed her on everything and she took a minute to draw it all in.
"So if we're here with all the Digimon, and us being broken into little bits was being transported here, then we're actually inside Digimon X!" Leah said as she looked down at her feet, "Tucker, you have a Digimon partner. So if Flamon was on your D-Card back in the Real World when that lady put our D-Cards in the game, my Digimon, as well as Erin, Jake and Charlie's, must be here, too. If we can find all of them first, we'll think up what we do next. Come on, let's find Charlie."
We continued through the woods as I repeated what Leah said in my mind. We were in a video game? And we all had partners here. After we found them and Charlie, we could find out what to do next. I was just happy I had my own, real Digimon. And that I was here with Leah. If things got rough, I could protect her. Maybe even score some points, heh heh.
A loud yell was heard as a figure dashed toward us. It was a boy. Charlie. But who was that behind him? A spider? Wait, make that a LARGE spider. A spider Digimon.
Spider Digimon? Who was it, again, I asked myself referring back to the Digimon Encyclopedia in my Digimon Hero program. Now I remember. Dokugumon, a viral type insectoid Digimon. Whoever gets caught in her web is in a real sticky situation. Her attacks are Poison Thread and Poison Cobweb.
Charlie met up with us and began to speak, until Dokugumon came up and noticed all of together.
"Oh, how nice! 6 little bites tonight! Maybe I'll get some friends to come over..."
"The only thing you're getting is a bad case of burns!" I shouted, "Get 'er Flamon!"
"Right!" Flamon leapt into action.
"Flame Fist!" He cried as his fist became fiery and he punched Dokugumon.
"Hah! You call that a bad case of burns? Try this! Poison Thread!"
Dokugumon fired her attack at Flamon. He managed to dodge and try a Flame Fist again.
"I'll stop you for good, this time!" she shouted, "Poison Cobweb!"
A purple cobweb shot from her mouth and enwrapped Flamon. He was trapped!
"I'll save you for dessert! And now, for the main course!" she said as she inched towards us.
"Flamon! No!" I cried out, "You've gotta get out of there!"
"I'm...trying..." he responded.
No! I forgot Dokugumon's attacks are also poisonous! They're sapping Flamon's strength! I was going to be some spider's dinner in a giant video game and my only protection was losing health! No! I couldn't let it end like this. I grabbed a nearby stick and began whacking Dokugumon.
"I'm warning you! Stay back, you ugly spider!" I shouted, more confident then I felt as I whacked at her, "I squish vermin like you back home and flush you down the toilet! Don't come closer!"
"Oh? How do you like me now?" She said as she leapt at me.
"AAAHHHH!!! FLAMON!!"
Flamon must've been watching all this because there was a giant blast of flame from where he was. A bright light flashed and just as Dokugumon was about to make me her dinner, I was grabbed.
"Flamon! You saved me!" But I was talking to the wrong person. This Digimon was tall, proud and had lots of red and white armor on. He had really long blond hair and black undergarments. This wasn't Flamon! It was...
"Agunimon?"
The Digimon nodded and began fighting Dokugumon. This Digimon was a hybrid Digimon that my partner was connected to! Flamon had Digivolved! Into Agunimon, a mysterious new Digimon! AWESOME!
"I'm gonna turn up the heat. Hope you can stand it! Pyro Darts!" Agunimon yelled as he fired several flaming darts at Dokugumon.
The giant spider managed to shake it off and attack again. "Poison Thread!"
"No you don't!" My partner said as he kicked Dokugumon in the head, "Now it's time to finish you off!"
He began spinning in a circular motion and generated a giant whirlpool of fire!
"Pyro Tornado!" He yelled as he launched the attack and Dokugumon was deleted.
Whoa. My partner was that powerful? Cool! Agunimon De-Digivolved and I went to give him another hug.
"Flamon! That was so cool! You finally Digivolved! And into a powerful Digimon nonetheless! I knew all my training would pay off!"
"Tucker...can't breathe..." Flamon told me.
"Oop! Sorry again," I said as I let go. As I did, a small light glew in front of me. I held out my hand to touch it and it immediately materialized. It had a square screen in a black circle at the top, with a red rim, two silver buttons going diagonally down, a red grip and a kind of large silver dial. On the top right side of this mechanical piece was a kind of empty spot where something presumably fit. This was amazing. It was my own DigiVice. Then, that official made me Flamon's partner!
"Tucker, is you were so cool when you attacked Dokugumon!" Jake comments.
"You were just amazing, too, Flamon!" Erin adds, patting Flamon on the back.
"That was quite amazing, Tucker," Leah says as she flashed me a smile.
"Hmph!" I think that was Charlie. Probably his way of showing thanks, I guess. Oh, well. If he can't admit it openly, that's his problem.
"I guess this means we're official partners," I said to Flamon.
"Yeah. I look forward to working with you, Tucker," Flamon said as he, this time, gave me a big hug.
"I guess our next move is to find your guys' partners. If Flamon's mine, then I'm sure you guys will find yours pretty soon. Come on, let's go look!"
"Yeah!" Jake, Erin and Leah raised their arms in agreement. Charlie just continued his quietness.
I'm trapped in a video game after being drawn into it. I have absolutely no idea where I am in it. I'm trying to be brave since I'm the only one with a Digimon. But I just survived a Dokugumon attack, I've got my new partner here with me and I have some other kids to survive with. I suddenly feel brave. And I think everything's going to be alright.
TO BE CONTINUED!
So, what do you think? Yes, Flamon and Agunimon are hybrids from season 4, but Flamon's a Rookie, so in my fic, that makes Agunimon his Champion form. My universe, my rules. R&R please! Next chapter's gonna be better! Promise!
