Digimon X: Game 3-Drill On, Drimogemon!
By DigiScanner-Shonen
We're walking through the forest. Probably aimlessly. Why do I follow these guys?
HE has out only protection. HE being Tucker Takeyama, our fearless "leader". The idiot still doesn't realise that we're really stuck here. He's leading us through the forest filled with Digimon with some interesting levels. He's got our only defense, a Digimon he's partners with, a Flamon he trained himself. He has a stupid smile on his face, like he knows what he's doing.
I can't stand him doing that.
Why do I follow him? Because he's got a Digimon of his own that just took down a Dokugumon about an hour ago.
And he saved my life.
I can't believe I'm indebted to someone who's only thought right now is to have fun in a game we're trapped in. But I'm going to repay my debt to him. I can't stand being in his debt.
We're a small group, Tucker, our "leader", Jake, the youngest of us, Erin, Leah and me, Charlie. We've been taken into the new online RPG game Digimon X after winning a draw to be the first to try the game. We're stuck in the starter area, a large forest.
Leah thinks that since Tucker now has Flamon as his partner, we all have Digimon somewhere in the game. After we get all of them, we'll figure out what to do next. What I'm thinking? Get the heck out of the game!
My partner is a Bearmon. I raised it after my dad got me that Digimon Hero program from this electronics store. I got it up to a reasonably high level in less the 5 hours straight. It's pretty powerful for such a little Rookie.
My dad spoils me. Probably after he and Mom divorced, he wanted to gain my favour over Mom. I live with him in an apartment overlooking a nice park in Osaka. I go to mom's place every weekend or so to check in with her. I love Dad a lot, but I wish he'd try and stop trying to make me forget Mom by spoiling me. I kept out of contact with other kids because I felt that the divorce was my fault and that I was saving others from harm on my account.
When I heard about the Digimon X draw that weekend in Mom's neighbourhood, I decided to enter to really see Bearmon in action. I had kept quiet all this time because I didn't feel like conversing with the others. I just wanted to play the game to forget my troubles with my parents. Now I just want to go home. Ironic that the one thing I wanted made me change my mind.
Our trek continues as Tucker and Flamon blaze the trail we follow. The trees are getting pretty high now. As they get higher, the forest seems to get darker.
"Ooh, I don't like the dark," I can hear Jake say.
"Me neither," Erin says, "Here Jake, you can hold my hand."
I feel Jake's hand touch mine. Part of me wants to brush Jake off, but he's just a little kid, scared. I decide to humour him this time.
"Tucker, you know where we're going?" Leah asks.
"Sure!" Tucker replies, "Absolutely. Maybe. Kind of. A little. No. No I don't."
Great, we're lost.
"But don't worry," I hear him say, "We'll find our way out of this area in no time at all."
"Yeah, Tucker's right," Erin says, "Let's just take our minds off of being lost and play a little game!"
We're following a kid who's got our only weapon that doesn't know where the heck he's going and now we get to play a little game to pass the time.
Yippie.
"All right. How about I Spy?" Erin suggests, "I spy with my little eye, something that is purple and red."
"That's me, Erin," Jake says.
"Ok, you're turn, Jake."
"I spy with my little eye, something that is fiery."
"That's Flamon," Leah tells him.
"Right! You're turn Leah."
"I spy with my little eye..."
"Something that is glowing?" are Tucker's words.
"No! It's something..." Leah says as she turns her eyes upwards and sees a small village, high in the trees.
They got bridges, torches, everything. Little huts are built on different trees. There are up to 3 houses on the same level. There are 4 levels and about 25 different trees.
"Cool!" Erin says.
"Yeah!" Jake agrees.
"Uh oh," Tucker says, "here comes the welcome wagon!"
A group of Tentomon fly down to us.
"State your name and business in the Forest Village!" A Tentomon says.
"Yeah, hi," Leah says as she steps in front of us, "we're, um, kind of lost and we need to get our bearings. Think you can help us?"
"Come with us," another Tentomon says, "we'll see what we can do for you."
"But how do we get up there?" Erin asks, "we're kind of big and you're so...so..."
"Small," Tucker finishes.
"This way please," as a Tentomon smiles at us. Or sort of smiles.
We march to one of the village trees. A Tentomon raps it 4 times and a kind of door opens.
"Step inside, we'll meet you at the top," the first Tentomon that spoke tells us as he and his group fly away.
"What do we do?" Jake asks.
"I guess we go inside and find out," Tucker replies.
We all step inside the tree. It's quite spacious, actually.
"Now what?" Erin wonders.
The tree door shuts.
"Um, we're gonna find out in a second," Leah tells her with a bit of panic in her voice.
There's a sudden woosh feeling inside you, like you're light a feather. Then everything rushes past you as you fly upwards. Fast. Fast enough to make you fly around in all sorts of directions positions.
"WWWOOOAAAHHH!!!!!" we all yell as we tumble upwards.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Erin screamed.
"Right behind you," I silently mutter.
There's a strange sound as a door opens and we fly right into it. We land in a tangled pile on a platform. We're all disoriented as we try and untangle ourselves. As I slowly get out, the Tentomon from earlier greets me.
"We hope you had a pleasant trip up here," they tell us.
"Erg," Flamon mutters, "That was weird."
"Tell me about it," Erin says as she quickly puts a hand in front of her mouth and runs off to the side of the platform and...
Well, let's just say I hoped no Digimon were passing by underneath at that time.
"We've received notice from one of the residents of Forest Village. He's looking for someone. Come," the Digimon tell us.
We follow the ladybug Digimon to the second level of the village. I look down as we move up. We're so high up. I get nervous and stop for a second. Erin comes and tells me we've got to keep moving. I comply and we continue to walk.
We enter a hut and find a nice little place inside. Table, chairs, a bed and a shelf are among the objects inside. A Digimon scooters into the scene.
He looks like a kid bear with grey fur and walks on two legs. He wears a blue baseball cap backwards which says BEARS on it. He's got a belt that wraps around his belly diagonally and several little belts around each paw. He's got some red war paint on. I recognise who it is instantly.
"Hello, I'm Bearmon," the Digimon tells us, "Welcome to my humble ab..."
He pauses and pushes past the others. He comes straight to me. I lower so I can look him straight in the eye. He looks shocked, yet joyous at the same time.
"You are..." he starts.
"Yeah, I think I am," I say to him.
"...just in time for lunch!" Bearmon finishes.
We all fall over.
"I cooked up a delicious new soup that I need someone to try," Bearmon says as he heads for the kitchen and comes back with a large plate with bowls of soup, "I'd like you to try it."
"Sure," I shrug as I grab a bowl of soup and start drinking.
It's not bad. I nod to the others and they all take a bowl and start slurping. I take a seat and Tucker starts talking to Bearmon.
"It's pretty good," he says, "for a Digimon recipe."
"Very very good!" Erin adds.
"Excellent!" Leah contributes.
"Can I have seconds?" Jake asks.
"Sure! I made enough soup for everybody," Bearmon says as he takes our bowls and fills them up again.
"So, Bearmon," Erin says, "why have you been looking for someone?"
"To try my soup, of course. Actually," Bearmon says as he hands back our bowls, "there's been a recent problem here in the forest."
"What kind of problem?" Leah wonders.
"Well, a Digimon recently came to the forest. He's been re-routing the water supply for the whole area. If we don't stop him, the whole forest will go dehydrated!" Bearmon tells, "And you know how a forest depends on water. No one here is brave enough to try and drive away the Digimon. I want to, but I'm too small. That's why I need your help! The entire forest depends on you!"
"No brainier!" Tucker says, "Of course we'll help! After all, it's just probably part of the game."
"Game? What game?"
"Well, you see," Tucker starts.
I quickly slap a hand over Tucker's mouth.
"Sshhh!" I tell him.
"Oh well. Off to the river then!" Bearmon says as he heads out the door, "Follow me!"
We follow him as he raps the tree several times and another door opens. He instantly disappears down the tree.
"Not again," Erin says.
If I'm right, I have no choice, I thought. This Bearmon could be my partner. I had to help him. Even if it meant the others couldn't join me.
I jump into the tree and head down after Bearmon. I fall down fast through the tunnel. Just as I'm about to hit ground, a kind of cushion breaks my fall. Weird.
I run out and meet Bearmon, who's starting to run to the place he was talking about. I follow him, even though I hear the others fall behind me.
We run through the forest. He's pretty fast for a little Digimon. A few minutes later we're at the river. It's a large run of water in the middle of the forest. A Digimon's drilling a large hole near the river, which is starting to divert water to it. He looks like a large purple mole with a drill for a nose.
I go through the Digimon Encyclopedia in my mind to try and identify the Digimon. Leesee, purple mole, purple mole, purple mole...
It comes to me now. It's a Drimogemon. A Champion level, Data type Animal Digimon. His drill is a powerful tool for both construction and destruction. His attacks include Iron Drill Spin and Mole's Claw.
"Hm? Who dares try and stop a Drimogemon from doing it's work?"
"We do, you fat mole!" Bearmon says angrily, "Why can't you just drill somewhere else?"
"Because I drill where I want. This spot just so happens to be near water and I get thirsty doing all this drilling."
"Don't you see that your hole will run the river dry and the whole area will die?" Bearmon asked.
"Not my problem. When the water runs out, it runs out. Deal with it."
"Arg! I won't let you endanger my home!" Bearmon says as he charges for Drimogemon.
"So you wanna play, huh? Iron Drill Spin!" Drimogemon's drill starts spinning and he charges for Bearmon. It grazes Bearmon's right arm and he's weakened.
"Bearmon!" I yell.
"I'm fine! But he won't be!" Bearmon tells me, "Rah! Bear's Claw!"
"Mole's Claw!" Drimogemon's claw slashes Bearmon savagely.
"No! Bearmon!"
"I won't give up! Bear Claw!"
"Mole Claw!"
This continues for a minute as Bearmon gets bruised badly each time. I can't watch this. Bearmon needs help. Blast! Where's Tucker and Flamon when you need them?
"Charlie!" I hear Leah yell. I see them all running.
"Hang on, Bearmon! Help's on the way!" I yell to Bearmon.
"Let's even the odds! Flamon! Digivolve!" Tucker takes out his DigiVice.
"Right!" Flamon says as he prepares to Digivolve. Nothing happens.
"Darn it! Digivolve!" Tucker says as he holds out his DigiVice towards Flamon, "Digivolve like last time!"
"Guys, do try and figure this out soon, 'cause Bearmon's almost completely beaten up!" Erin points.
No! Bearmon! I turn and see Bearmon lying on his back. I rush over to him.
"Come on, Bearmon! You can't go yet! We only just met," I tell him as I feel something warm come from my eyes, "What about the forest? You got to protect it! And that soup! It's so good, I want some more! How about after you beat this guy you make me some?"
The light from Bearmon's eyes begin to fade.
"NO! BEARMON! Don't go yet!" I grip him tightly and let the tears flow, "You can't go yet! Not now!"
I stare at Drimogemon and feel an intense rush of anger.
"You! You caused this! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!" I yell as I rush towards him, my fist clenched.
"Iron Drill Spin!" Drimogemon charges towards me and his attack grazes my side.
"Charlie!" the group all yell.
I grip my side. It hurts. I fall over and see Bearmon. He saw this and he's not pleased. He gets up and I see tears from his eyes.
"You threaten the village! You beat me up! You hurt my friend!" He tells the Drimogemon, "I won't let you get away with that!"
"Bearmon..." I say quietly.
He begins to glow. I've seen this before. When Flamon first became Agunimon, this happened. That means...
He's Digivolving!
"Bearmon Digivolve to..." I hear him cry.
There's a flash of light and Bearmon no longer stands there. In his place is a bigger, more beastly looking Digimon. Blue fur replaces grey, he now has red shoulder pads and claw protectors. He walks on all fours and his eyes have a vengeful look to them now.
"Grizzmon!" the Digimon announces himself as I look on in awe, "Ready for round 2, mole?"
"You bet!" Drimogemon says as he charges yet again, "Mole's Claw!"
"Grizzly Slash!" Grizzmon yells as he swipes Drimogemon and he falls over.
"Not so easy now, is it?" Grizzmon asks.
"Humph! Iron Drill Spin!" Drimogemon's drill spins.
"Not this time!" Grizzmon says as he swipes Drimogemon again.
"Argh!"
"Time to end this, Drimogemon! Bear Blaster!" A blast of energy emerges from Grizzmon's mouth and hits Drimogemon square in the face.
"NO!" Drimogemon yells as he's put down, "Please spare me!"
"Now, fill this hole back up and get out of this area! I never want to see you here again!"
"Yessir!" Drimogemon says as he quickly fills the hole in and runs off. We could here him say, "Wait 'til I tell the other Drimogemon about this!"
Grizzmon chuckles and I run up to him.
"That was great, Grizzmon! You really showed him who's boss!"
"Sure did, didn't I?" Grizzmon says as he De-Digivolves.
"Yeah," I say as I give him a playful punch on the shoulder, definitely not like me.
A light materialises in front of me. It floats down onto the ground. I pick it up and it turns into a DigiVice, exactly like Tucker's, except it's blue where his is red.
"Congratulations, Charlie!" Erin says, "You've got your partner!"
"You were cool, Bearmon!" Jake tells him, "Better than Flamon!"
"Hey!" Flamon says, insulted.
"You were amazing, too, Charlie," Leah says as she gives me a small hug.
"You jealous, Takeyama?" I ask our "leader", "Now I got some power, too. How do you like them apples?"
"Whatever," Tucker says as he looks away, his face a bit red, "Come on, let's get out of this forest."
"Out of the forest? I know a way!" Bearmon says, "We just need to follow this water to get out of the area."
"Then let's go," Tucker says as he starts marching off.
We follow. I follow. Bearmon follows. I now have my own Digimon. I don't have to live in Tucker's life debt for long.
Grizzmon. Bearmon. My partner Digimon. I don't know what got into me back there, me caring for a Digimon like that. Maybe because I knew he was mine. Maybe because I was starting to break my icy shield which kept me from being friends with other kids. Maybe because I was lonely and Bearmon broke through the loneliness. Whatever the reason, I feel happy. Happy that I was breaking my non-contact. Happy that I have other kids to talk with and relate to. And happy that I found my partner.
Soon, I'll pay back Tucker what I owe him by saving his life. We'll be even and the debt will be gone.
And make no mistake, I always pay my debt in full.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Please review! I want more people to read this so I know others like what I'm doing. More people like it, more chapters I do more often. Keep up to date with the adventures by checking this story often. Thanks!

I grip my side. It hurts. I fall over and see Bearmon. He saw this and he's not pleased. He gets up and I see tears from his eyes.

"Bearmon..." I say quietly.
He begins to glow. I've seen this before. When Flamon first became Agunimon, this happened. That means...
He's Digivolving!

There's a flash of light and Bearmon no longer stands there. In his place is a bigger, more beastly looking Digimon. Blue fur replaces grey, he now has red shoulder pads and claw protectors. He walks on all fours and his eyes have a vengeful look to them now.
"Grizzmon!" the Digimon announces himself as I look on in awe, "Ready for round 2, mole?"
"You bet!" Drimogemon says as he charges yet again, "Mole's Claw!"
"Grizzly Slash!" Grizzmon yells as he swipes Drimogemon and he falls over.
"Not so easy now, is it?" Grizzmon asks.
"Humph! Iron Drill Spin!" Drimogemon's drill spins.
"Not this time!" Grizzmon says as he swipes Drimogemon again.
"Argh!"
"Time to end this, Drimogemon! Bear Blaster!" A blast of energy emerges from Grizzmon's mouth and hits Drimogemon square in the face.
"NO!" Drimogemon yells as he's put down, "Please spare me!"
"Now, fill this hole back up and get out of this area! I never want to see you here again!"
"Yessir!" Drimogemon says as he quickly fills the hole in and runs off. We could here him say, "Wait 'til I tell the other Drimogemon about this!"
Grizzmon chuckles and I run up to him.
"That was great, Grizzmon! You really showed him who's boss!"
"Sure did, didn't I?" Grizzmon says as he De-Digivolves.
"Yeah," I say as I give him a playful punch on the shoulder, definitely not like me.
A light materialises in front of me. It floats down onto the ground. I pick it up and it turns into a DigiVice, exactly like Tucker's, except it's blue where his is red.
"Congratulations, Charlie!" Erin says, "You've got your partner!"
"You were cool, Bearmon!" Jake tells him, "Better than Flamon!"
"Hey!" Flamon says, insulted.
"You were amazing, too, Charlie," Leah says as she gives me a small hug.
"You jealous, Takeyama?" I ask our "leader", "Now I got some power, too. How do you like them apples?"
"Whatever," Tucker says as he looks away, his face a bit red, "Come on, let's get out of this forest."
"Out of the forest? I know a way!" Bearmon says, "We just need to follow this water to get out of the area."
"Then let's go," Tucker says as he starts marching off.
We follow. I follow. Bearmon follows. I now have my own Digimon. I don't have to live in Tucker's life debt for long.
Grizzmon. Bearmon. My partner Digimon. I don't know what got into me back there, me caring for a Digimon like that. Maybe because I knew he was mine. Maybe because I was starting to break my icy shield which kept me from being friends with other kids. Maybe because I was lonely and Bearmon broke through the loneliness. Whatever the reason, I feel happy. Happy that I was breaking my non-contact. Happy that I have other kids to talk with and relate to. And happy that I found my partner.
Soon, I'll pay back Tucker what I owe him by saving his life. We'll be even and the debt will be gone.
And make no mistake, I always pay my debt in full.
TO BE CONTINUED!
