Cyber Hero

Chapter 4

Now it's time for Izuku to grow a bit more as a Tamer and to grow his team as well. And then we'll eventually get to more of what it means to be the partner of a Digimon in this world I imagined up. As well as meeting….. a somewhat sad creature. So on with the show.

(No POV)

Monodramon groaned as Izuku and his team carried him away from the mountaintop he'd been fighting on. "Easy Baohuckmon. I think we may be moving too fast for as hurt as he is." Izuku said while riding atop his old friend.

"I don't want to take too many chance Izuku. Given the Digimon we just had to face off with." Baohuckmon said as he was running. Tsukaimon meanwhile was watching the rear as she sat on Izuku's head.

And she unfortunately had something to report. "Guys! We've got incoming! Looks like the Goblimon group found some air support!" she says before Izuku looks back and sees a couple of Airdramon and Flymon above them. And the Goblimon riding atop the flyers. Izuku curses before apologizing to Monodramon.

"You were right Baohuckmon! We need to get out of here fast!" he says as stingers and air needles fly at them. Baohuckmon dodges around as quickly as he can as Tsukaimon warns him of the directions the attacks are coming from.

Monodramon opens his eyes to look up and see his enemies flying above. "Let…. Me down! I have to….. face off with them! I need to keep fighting!" the little dragon grunts out while Izuku holds him still. "No way! You are in no condition to fight!" Izuku says while holding the Monodramon in place.

"Then how about I give us some cover! Purple Haze! Dark Twister!" Tsukaimon says before belching out a cloud of purple smoke. And the flapping her wings to whip up a little purple tornado to spread her poison mist.

Baohuckmon compliments her before cutting into a cave as the mist distracts the flying Digimon. Izuku keeps Monodramon in place as the Goblimon and their digivolutions get off the flyers. "This is a one-time thing you dumb beast! Never ask for this again!" one of the Airdramon shouts as he roughly tosses Fugamon to the ground.

The red skinned ogre grumbles as the Flymon and Airdramon leave. Baohuckmon returns to his Hackmon stage and says they need to keep moving. "Even with your smoky cover, it will only last so long." Hackmon says before creating a small fireball in his mouth.

Izuku agrees and tells Hackmon to lead the way. "Tsukaimon, I hate to ask again but can you watch our backs?" Izuku says while adjusting his hold on Monodramon. The little purple flyer smiles before saying, "you don't have to ask. You're my partner and….. well kind of my dad. I'll keep an eye out."

The green teen blushes at this and thanks her before following his old friend. Once inside a bit deeper, Tsukaimon catches up with them. Izuku then takes the moment to check over Monodramon and his injuries. "Easy. Let's bandage you up a bit."

Monodramon groans and grumbles as Izuku treats some of his bruises and cuts from his battles with the Goblimon. "You should… have left me….. they'll just come after you now," the little purple dragon says as Izuku bandages up his arm.

"If I want to really embody what it means to be a hero, then I can't avoid or reject someone in pain. No matter what." Izuku says with a smile directed the rookie's way. Who just sighs before quietly thanking the human. Hackmon smiles with the fireball burning in his mouth. Remembering that it was just what Izuku used to do back in the day.

After he finished bandaging, he asked why he was fighting those Digimon. Monodramon looks to the side before explaining how it was just life for most of them in these regions. "We all fight for survival, especially with how rough and dangerous these mountains are. But those guys are different."

Monodramon notes how they'd been bullying other groups of Digimon and stealing all of their food and other resources for a while now. "There's some boss or whatever who's giving orders. I was just protecting a small group of younger Digimon when I pulled those jerks away."

"Guess you're a hero too. Right down to the self-sacrificing nature." Izuku says with a nod. Hackmon agrees and hopes they can get out of this bit of trouble. "Then maybe we should look for a way out or make sure that they are gone." Tsukaimon says before flying off.

After she had gone, the rest of the team was preparing to move out as well. Hackmon used his flames to try and find another way out. Izuku meanwhile plays with his digivice to see if he could make a portal home again. As well as other programs that could be in the base item.

But he gets worried when Tsukaimon doesn't return after a while. "She's been gone too long. We should look for her." Izuku says before standing. But a new voice makes him extra nervous. "You want her, you deal with us."

The one saying this was a Goblimon that made his toward the group. Monodramon groaned as he stood, ready for a fight again. While Hackmon snarled at the virus type Digimon. But it just held up its hands before asking him to wait.

"We got little one. You want her back; you deal with me. Er, us!" the Goblimon says before gesturing to its club. It tells them to come out so they can talk. "We talk terms outside. You follow me," it says before turning back to the entrance.

Hackmon narrows his eyes at the crooked rookie and keeps his fireball ready. While Izuku helps Monodramon up and asks what else he knew about the Digimon. But the dragon mentions that it wouldn't do them much good in this situation. "Let's just see how this plays out," it says with some worry.

Once outside, they see all the demon man Digimon standing there. With Fugamon holding Tsukaimon in his hands. Izuku panics a bit and tries to run toward her, but Goblimon stops him. "No move. Understand?" it says with a gesture of the club.

"Sorry! I tried to just keep an eye out but I didn't notice the one and-" Tsukaimon says before Fugamon squeezes. "You be quiet! So you some strange Digimon. Not much power but look like you can heal. Here deal, you work with us. And we let them go. Even share food with you."

Izuku has an unimpressed look as the Fugamon talks. 'Is he serious right now? Who would believe that or go along with it? Then again he doesn't look like much of a mental case.' Izuku thinks while looking at the situation before him. And he also concludes that Hackmon couldn't win. Even if he digivolved.

"Can I think it over? This is a bit of a troublesome situation you've got me in." Izuku says hoping to stall. And while Fugamon wants to rage out with a no, the Goblimon earlier stops him and asks Fugamon to wait. "We still got hostage. No need to rush!" it says with some diplomacy.

Fugamon looks ready to smack the rookie, but Ogremon stops him and agrees with what he said. "You get one hour." Ogremon says with narrowed eyes. Then gestures to his crew to back away for the time being.

Izuku hums before saying, "lets back in too. Then we can talk." The other two Digimon agree and go back into the cave. One of the Goblimon stays but gives Izuku it's spare club so they have some fire in the cave.

"That one seems a bit smarter than the others. Think it'll be trouble?" Hackmon says while keeping an eye on the entrance. Izuku sighs before saying, "probably. But we've got bigger problems now." He goes over how they don't have the power or advantage to really fight their opponents head on.

"They're all virus types and you're a data type. Meaning we don't have that for an advantage. Then to top it off, they've got two Champion levels and Tsukaimon." Izuku summarizes as he starts cooking some meat. Hackmon nods and sighs that he couldn't reach Ultimate level yet either.

Izuku passes some meat to him and Monodramon as they wait. Monodramon hums as he eats and thinks about what Fugamon had said during the demands. Realizing something important. "Wait. He said you're a Digimon. But you're not right? You're a human right?"

"Uh yeah. I thought you'd be more used to them?" Izuku says with some confusion. Monodramon mentions that the guardians didn't get involved in the day-to-day stuff. Especially since they were often trading off and on. "They might just think you're a human form Digimon. And if that's the case… we might have an advantage they don't know."

Monodramon asks if Izuku could make him Digivolve. "I'm a vaccine type. Meaning I've got that advantage and if I can close the gap of levels, then we've got a way to fight back." Hackmon and Izuku share a look before looking back at the purple dragon.

Izuku leans back before saying it wasn't that simple. "I can only do that with someone who….. really wants to work with or protect me. I mean we've only just met and all. I leapt in to help you because you needed it." Hackmon speaks up next by saying that maybe it'd help if they'd talk about their pasts. "Might make up or help forge some bond?"

His partner looks at him funny, but shrugs since they don't really have much else to do. They spend the next few minutes talking about what their lives were like and what they had experienced. With Izuku growing up an outcast, Hackmon feeling loneliness when Izuku didn't make his way back to the Digital World, and Monodramon was a brawler who tried to protect others.

"Though it often ended up coming back to bite me. Given I'd pick fights with those who'd strike back harder. Or I'd get kicked out of places I tried to protect because I ended up causing more trouble."

"At least you had the power to do something." Izuku says in a dour mood. Hackmon bumps into him and says he does have power. "It just a power that has nothing to do with strength. You showed it back when you were a kid, and when you charged into save that jerk. It's a power plenty have, but few know how to use it. Heroic will."

Monodramon is a bit wide eyed and asks more about that and why Izuku did it. But the human doesn't know since his feet started moving on their own. "I started….. moving on my own…. Ha. And I just knew I had to do something. Even if it cost me. Just like now." Izuku says before coming to a slight realization.

He stands and notes they just have a few more minutes. "I know what I need to do. Hackmon be ready. Monodramon you rest." Izuku says before walking toward the mouth of the cave. The mini dragon is wide eyed and asks what Izuku had in mind, but all Izuku did was smile at him.

Once outside, Izuku handed a piece of meat to the guarding Goblimon. Who took it happily before going to get the bosses. "So you make choice? You work with us?" Ogremon says with his eyes narrowed. Fugamon still has Tsukaimon in his hands and was keeping a tight grip.

Izuku is mad but lets it pass for now before saying, "yeah. If you give Tsukaimon to Hackmon, I'll go with you." His old partner and new partner were worried and scared for what he was offering. Monodramon meanwhile is wondering why he was willing to do this.

'He's willing to sacrifice himself to save someone else. No reward or anything? He's willing… to put himself on the line to save others.' Monodramon thinks before feeling more of a connection to the young human. And feeling the will from Izuku flowing into him.

His body starts to glow a bit as he steps forward and the bandages come off. And his body grows and his claws sharpen. Even in the cave, he can make out Fugamon and knows what he needs to do himself.

He takes a step forward as he feels the power flow through him and says, "Monodramon! Digivolve to! Strikedramon!" As the large humanoid dragon rushes forward and impacts the center of Fugamon. Making him lose his grip on Tsukaimon and shocking everyone.

Strikedramon snarled before telling Tsukaimon to get higher into the air. She nods and flies up out of the range of the other Digimon. "Well that happened. Care to back him up buddy?" Izuku says with a smile to Hackmon.

Who returned it before digivolving to Baohuckmon. He then tackled Ogremon before telling Strikedramon he'd keep the demon busy. "Fugamon is yours! Let him have it!" Baohuckmon says while unleashing a Fif Cross to knock his opponent back.

Strikedramon nods before staring down the red skinned ogre. Which roars before unleashing an Evil Hurricane at the dragon. But he easily dodges to the side before quickly rushing forward to slash the side of Fugamon.

It roars in pain while unleashing a few more attacks, but Strikedramon easily dodges and deflects the attacks thrown his way. After tossing Fugamon over his shoulder, Strikedramon says, "I think it's time to finish this. Strike Fang!"

Flames cover the dragon's body before rushing forward and plowing through the enemy Digimon. Deleting the opponent. Ogremon is still standing, but he sees his friend going down and roars in anger. He throws out a Pummel Whack toward Strikedramon to avenge Fugamon.

While this had been happening, the Goblimon went to engage Izuku to distract the Champions. But Izuku kept his distance or tripped up the little Digimon. And Tsukaimon fired a few attacks to cover him and keep him out of reach.

Izuku tripped and one of the Goblimon caught up with him. As he was thinking he was in trouble, his goggles beeped and showed something. "Wind Claw?" Izuku read and then his hands suddenly had said claws. He struck the Goblimon and sent it flying a bit.

"Okay….. that's new and weird!" Izuku thought aloud before checking his digivice again. And he sees something else. "Sonic Void!" he shouts as a ball of wind is formed in his hands and he launches it at another Goblimon.

He starts to celebrate as he can somewhat fight Digimon himself. And he gets attacked from behind for his hubris. And Tsukaimon saves him. "You're not hurting my papa!" she shouts after letting out a Dark Twister to knock the other Goblimon down.

The one who tried to negotiate tells the group to retreat as they saw Fugamon being defeated. Grabbing Ogremon to say they needed to fall back as Baohuckmon ran in and pulled Izuku and Tsukaimon away. "Strikedramon! C'mon! Let's get out of here!" Izuku shouts to the dragon. And while he wants to keep fighting, he knows Izuku is right. And quickly dashes off.

"We need to talk to boss. He have better idea what to do," the Goblimon says with a worried look. Ogremon snarls before agreeing and they fall back to a volcanic mountain. Back with Izuku and his Digimon though they were all happy they got away and dealt with one of the dangerous Digimon.

Strikedramon was laughing out loud as he de-digivolved back to Monodramon. "Oh man! That felt really good to do!" the mini dragon said with a big smile on his face. Tsukaimon thanked Monodramon for saving her as she landed on Izuku's head.

"So I guess we've got a new member of the family?" she says with a smile directed Izuku's way. "Yeah. I guess we do. Welcome to the team Monodramon." Izuku says with a hand extended. And the little dragon shakes it. Then Hackmon puts his claws atop the hand, and Tsukaimon flies down and puts her own hand in.

They spend the next day or so with Monodramon guiding them around the mountains and looking for the few holdouts against the bully of the range. Finally finding a small village of Gotsumon and Tumblemon among other mountain dwellers.

But their problems are about to get worse. The Goblimon group met with their leader who was not happy at all. "They sent you packing?! You had two strong Champions!" he roared as he towered above his goons. Ogremon wants to blame the smarter Goblimon, but they take their moment to speak for themselves.

"They had a funny man form Digimon. Seemed different from us. Patched up that Monodramon we were fighting. And somehow, they could Digivolve easy! Little white dragon turned into a big one and Monodramon became Strikedramon. Never seen that before!"

The boss is wide eyed at hearing this. He asks if the man form had goggles of some kind on. And when an affirmative is given, he roars again in anger. "That was no Digimon you idiots! That was a human! They can grant great power. I know that firsthand."

The boss steps more into the light of his cavern and shows his face. The glowing red eyes standing out against his large crystalline form. This was Gogmamon. He let out an angry snarl before saying the Goblimon was smarter. "And that can be useful with a bit of extra power."

Gogmamon reaches over and pulls a crystal from the lava. Crushing it over the top of the Digimon and causing a rush of energy to flow to it. Goblimon's body starts to burn with energy and pain as it is forcefully digivolved into Wizardmon.

"Should have made a smarter one sooner. Now then. The rest of you step forward. Call a few more of your brothers. We'll show that human that he's not some guardian. He's outclassed against the rest of us." The Goblimon bow and scamper off to get their fellows.

Gogmamon leaned back in his throne before thinking back. Crushing a few stones in his hand as he remembered someone who used to be a friend and partner too. 'I know it's not you. But I wonder if this boy really thinks he can save anything. Just like you always wanted to do,' the angry ore Digimon thought while waiting for his thugs.

"I see. So you're the one who aided Tapirmon and the others when the Goblimon attacked. Thank you. I am Seasarmon. I'm one of the oldest Digimon in this village," the beast Digimon says with a bow of his head.

Izuku returns it and asks about the other troubles in the region. The old dog sighs before saying, "these regions have always attracted those who enjoy a good fight. And there have also been those who simply wish to live and mine the stones to make tools. Thus a violent or extortionist mentality could easily begin."

"That doesn't make it right. Or that you should back down from them." Monodramon says with an angered look. Seasarmon doesn't disagree, but he notes that they may not have a choice. "The one backing the Goblimon is a very powerful Ultimate. He's wiped out a few Gotsumon villages that tried to stand up to him."

Hackmon and Izuku both have contemplative, yet still angry, looks on their faces as they consider what Sesarmon is talking about. Hackmon asks if there were enough who could fight against their armies. But the dog confirms there aren't enough.

"I'm old and pretty strong. But I'm one of the few fighters here. Most of the Gotsumon are just miners or refiners. And the others are just….. well." Tapirmon interrupts and says, "supporters or feeders if you will. We don't have it in us to fight. Like the Burgermon families."

Tsukaismon wonders if they could fly away or something, but one the Gotsumon takes offense to that. "This is our home! We can't just pack up and leave." Another brings up that they also can't fight either. "But luckily, they don't know we're here. So, we're safe."

Izuku thinks to himself that the Gotsumon just raised a major red flag as they are offered a place to stay for the night. And they all enjoy hearty burgers and fries from the Burgermon and Potamon. And then getting a good night's rest.

While staying in a small guest house, Izuku takes to brushing Tsukaimon. Who squeals a bit happily at the feeling. Monodramon though looks out at the town and worries about what could come. "I know they and I said they were probably safe, but I wonder for how long?" he thinks aloud.

Hackmon agrees and says, "I hate to say it, but we aren't at the level where we can fight an ultimate. It might be better to leave for now. Come back when we can get some help." Izuku hasn't said anything, but he keeps running through the scenarios in his mind.

Sighing to himself as he keeps coming the same conclusion. 'There's no way to avoid a fight and there's no way we can win said fight. I doubt I could negotiate with them to calm down without at least equal amounts of force.'

Before he can talk with his partners about it though, he notices a rumbling that is making the water in a glass shake. He tells all of them to be quiet for the time being. "Something big is coming," he says as he blows out the light in the room.

He peeks out a window and tells Monodramon to watch the door. The mini dragon nods before taking his position. Barely opening the door a crack to look out. And that is when he sees a frightening sight.

At the front of the village were not one, but a dozen Ogremon. But they weren't alone. There were also at least 6 Fugamon and 10 Hyogamon, and a few Nanimon. With a Wizardmon standing next to Gogmamon. The latter of which towered over his troops.

"I think we just met the big boss." Monodramon says with a gulp. Izuku quietly sneaks over and sees what he means. He rests his back against the wall before quietly saying, "yep! We are not! Gonna beat that thing!"

The massive Digimon talks down to all of the others in the village. Mocking the fact that they thought they were safe. "But I've known you were here all along. I also know that a friend of yours knocked around and deleted some of my men. I want you to hand them over right now!"

Izuku looks to Hackmon and silently tells him to be ready to Digivolve. Seasarmon steps forward and speaks on behalf of his village. "You are talking about the human yes? It is true they were here, but they left down the mountain. They suspected your likely wrath."

Gogmamon narrows his eyes before bending down to look the beast Digimon in the eye. He could tell it was holding something back but chose to wait on acting. "Alright. Then here is what's going to happen from now on. You'll provide a portion of your minerals to us. And in exchange we'll 'protect' this village. Understood?" the mountain of crystal says with a narrowed look at Seasarmon.

Who nods before 'thanking' the village's new overseer. He leaves a few of his thugs in the village and takes his leave. "Crap. Well this is a fine mess we're in." Hackmon says as they hear the steps of Gogmamon fading out.

Tapirmon slips in to convey the message Seasarmon had for them. "You need to get out of here now. It's not safe for you or us." Izuku nods and says they were thinking the same. "No way we can fight these guys. And I'd bet they'll be repercussions if they know we're being hidden."

"Can't we do something?" Tsukaimon asks with a bit of sadness in her eyes. Izuku looks down before saying, "no. Not now. But maybe someday soon. We're just not ready." He pats her head while having a look that says he feels sick leaving things as they are. And she tucks into him to try and comfort the boy.

Hackmon agrees and wonders how they could get out with those thugs at the gate. "Leave them to me. A hearty bowl of soup and they'll be out. As well as my own abilities." Tapirmon says before excusing himself once more.

He and a few others make a meal for the 'visiting' virus Digimon and they are quickly conked out. And Izuku's team can be snuck out with less to worry about. Seasarmon sees them off one last time and tells them not to worry about them.

"We'll survive. And with some luck we'll be able to fight back eventually." Izuku nods before thanking the beast Digimon. Tsukaimon flies out of Izuku's arms to hug and nuzzle the big dog. "Goodbye," she says sadly as they quickly make their way out of town and down the mountain.

While all of this has been happening, Terry has been watching from above and away from the main action. "A new partner, a reasonable conflict. And a compelling drive to get stronger and more teammates. I'd say that's a good week's worth of learning," he says to Ulforce.

Who looks ready to swoop down and deal with Gogmamon himself. But he is stopped when Terry says, "I missed this because we've got a lot to worry about. If Izuku intends to become the guardian of these regions, he'll have to make choices like this for himself." His old partner looks annoyed but can follow some of the logic. "I just hope they'll be ready for it."

After running and flying all night, Izuku and his partners have returned to the forest and meadow regions. With Izuku wondering what they could do next. "We can't help them alone. But there aren't heroes here where we could get aid that way. And I doubt Terry would help."

Hackmon wants to disagree but all the actions the man had taken thus far had told him otherwise. "He was always a good friend and pseudo partner before I found you again. But now….. I think he's taking a tough love path with teaching you."

"So no help from the other guardians. Great. You guys don't happen to know any other capable Digimon. Do you?" Monodramon says with a raised eyebrow. Izuku just shrugs and Hackmon shakes his head. Until Tsukaimon speaks up. "What about Primary Village? You know? Leomon and the Elecmon?"

This makes Hackmon and Izuku stop in their tracks as they smack their heads for forgetting about that. "He might be able to help! Or could maybe point us to a few others who'd be willing to back us up!" Tsukaimon says with a big smile.

Izuku brings her in for a hug and thanks her for giving them the idea. Izuku's digivice starts beeping and then it shows a map with a way back toward Primary Village. It would take them half a day, but they made good time to the location.

Once there, they brought Leomon up to speed on what happened. "I see. That is troublesome. But they aren't coming here. Even someone like Gogmamon wouldn't threaten this place." Leomon says firmly.

Monodramon brings up a different point and one to play to his new form and mentality. "Yeah but can you in good conscience leave Seasarmon and the rest to live under the thumb of that guy?" Leomon looks the side and thinks it over.

He sighs before agreeing that he couldn't. "But even if all of you could digivolve, that would only give us four Champion level Digimon. Against an army at the same level." Izuku though asks if there were others who could help them.

"It doesn't have to be a lot of them. Just enough to give us an edge." Leomon thinks it over, but it is an Elecmon who brings up that there were a few who might be interested. "There's a handful of Digimon who dislike those types you're going against in the area. But it could take time to find them all."

Hackmon notes that it could be a good chance for all of them to improve their skills and trying to find Tsukaimon's Champion form. "Well, you'll have to do some of that back in the Human World." Terry said while appearing behind the group.

Izuku looked at the man with confusion before he realized that about a week had passed. And then realizing that his mom was probably going to freak out after he'd been 'camping' for so long.

Terry just laughed before opening a portal back to the human world and pulling Izuku through. From the trees though was a Digimon who'd just been observing and listening. As well as wondering about the divination they'd had about the human. "Izuku huh? An interesting one to be sure," the feminine sounding Digimon says before leaping away and then disappearing in a flash.

Once returning to the Human World, Izuku has a moment where he panics as he checks his phone. Expecting dozens of messages. Only to see one with his mom wondering if he was coming home in the evening. And then realizing it was only one day after he'd left.

"How?" is the only question he can articulate to Terry while looking up at the man. He smiled before saying, "funny thing about the Digital World; at times the passage of time is out of sync with our own. Some days it will be perfectly in line with the hour to hour. Others, one day here could equal a week or month or more in the Digital World."

Izuku gave his 'mentor' an annoyed flat look at that before saying, "you knew that the whole time and knew that this would be one of the days it would last a week." Terry smiles before laughing and giving his student a simple 'yep'.

Monodramon and Tsukaimon though were interested in the Human World and rattled off question after question on the walk home. "So where were you the whole time I was surviving in the Digital World?" Izuku asked after the Digimon had made themselves invisible.

"Checking into a few things as well as dealing with a…. complicated matter. I've been erasing some of the memories of those who saw the Digimon that day with the slime ball. With some exceptions to make them all sound crazy." Terry says with a smirk.

Once home, Inko was surprised by the new faces with Izuku as Monodramon and Tsukaimon revealed themselves. The woman nearly fainting when Tsukaimon called her grandma.

"So it's more that this little one sees you as her father because….. you protected her egg when she hatched?" Inko asked incredulously. And almost fainted again upon seeing the video Terry had taken of Izuku protecting said egg and being saved by other Digimon.

But she shook out of that and asked why Terry just let these things happen. "He needed to figure things out for himself. Holding his hand doesn't help him grow. But completely abandoning him was not something I did. I kept an eye on him from a distance and if needed I would step in."

Izuku quietly thought that it did feel like he'd been abandoned given he had to survive a week in a dangerous wild world like the Digital World. But he knew his mom wouldn't accept his partners or Terry again if he said that. So he kept his mouth shut.

"Gram….. I mean miss Inko? Are you mad about us being here?" Tsukaimon said with a big-eyed look up at the woman. Who just melted before wrapping the little creature in a big hug. She then promised to make a big dinner for everyone. With Hackmon and Izuku extra happy at that, while Monodramon and Tsukaimon were curious about what they'd be eating.

Terry was even forced to stay as thanks for watching over Izuku and trying to teach him Izuku. Once it was done and the Digimon were rolling around happily fed, Terry helped Inko with the dishes before taking his leave.

"Izuku. I hope you're ready to learn even more. Because this is just the beginning." Terry says with a smile as he leaves to teleport away once more. Izuku meanwhile takes what he said to heart and resolves to get serious on training tomorrow.

So I wanted to do a little bit with setting up for the next big hurdle as well as plans for Izuku's future as a Tamer. Not to mention lining up a few possible partners. I have a few in mind, but I'm curious what the rest of you think. Who would you like to see? As well, got a guess for all of the Digimon I have in mind for his partners? Leave a review if you have a guess! Oh and Arc, you're not allowed to spoil any. I've told you a few already. But leave a guess if you've got it.
