"Damn it, this sucks…" the former head of Hypnos muttered, sitting in a chair. Thanks to the incident the other day with the corrupt Tamers, Yamaki was cooped up in the house with a broken leg. "I can't believe that I had to stay here for 6 weeks…"

Riley shook her head, laughing, and walked over to him. She kissed him on the lips and smiled. "Just be grateful that you're all right…" She frowned, giving him another kiss on the cheek. "I was so worried when I heard that the Hypnos building exploded…"

The blond chuckled. "I almost didn't make it… I went in to go rescue the kids and the rood caved in… Henry blacked out, Rika was already unconscious, and Haburi was stuck under a beam. My leg was caught under chunks of ceiling…"

The woman winced. "Ouch… Well, it could have been worse… You could have lost your leg instead, just like Haburi lost his eye… Poor man…"

Yamaki frowned. "'Poor man', my ass…"

Yamaki's girlfriend and former employee rolled her eyes. "Please don't tell me that you're still sore about him getting your old job?…"

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I guess I am… Then again, Hypnos has changed too much in the lat few years… It's no longer 'my' Hypnos anymore…" He raised an eyebrow as Riley began to leave. "H-hey! Where are you going?"

The red head turned around and winked mischievously at him. "To work… you may not work for Hypnos, but I still do… sorry, dear!"

Digimon Tamers: Outbreak

Episode 3: Kasaimon Gains Flying Power

"Mom, I'm going to school, now!" Suzie shouted, running out the door. Today, in addition to her previously described outfit, she was wearing two pink bracelets.

Mayumi smiled as her daughter left. "All right, dear! Have a good day!"

-

The youngest Wong child was walking to her school as she noticed someone else walking on the other side of the street. It was Takeshi Yamato, a fellow student in her class. 'He's so weird… He's always going to the bathroom and at lunch, he sits alone and never talks to anyone…' She frowned. "It must be lonely…" she smiled. "I'll be his friend!" She looked both ways and ran across the street. "Hey there!"

Takeshi looked over to the girl and blinked. "Um, hi…" He began to walk a little faster.

Suzie frowned, speeding up her own pace. "Hey, you!" she shouted. "You're being very rude!"

The brown haired boy paused for a moment as he remembered something that his mother always told him. 'You should always be nice to girls!' He sighed, muttering to himself. "Yes, mother…" He turned around to face his stalker, and they ended up face to face. He screamed, falling backwards. "Don't do that!"

The purple haired girl giggled, holding out her hand. "I'm sorry… Here, let me help you up!"

Takeshi groaned as he got up. "Um, thanks… Uh, what was your name again?"

"I'm Suzie Wong!" she said, proudly. "And I already know who you are!"

"That's…" he began, nodding slowly. "…nice…" 'Gosh this girl is sickeningly happy…'

"How come you wear the same clothes everyday?"

"Why me?…"

-

Later, at lunch, Suzie stared sadly at Takeshi who was once again eating by himself. She walked over to the boy and sat next to him. "Hey, why are you eating all by yourself?"

The leader of the Hypnos Tamers turned away from her. "Because I feel like it…"

The optimistic girl giggled. "Silly! Wouldn't you rather eat with your friends?"

The boy groaned in annoyance. "I don't have any friends at this school…"

Suzie smiled. "Well then, I'll be your friend!"

Takeshi stood up. "No thanks…"

"Psst!" the Digimon known as Kasaimon whispered, peeking through the window. "Takeshi! Over here!"

Kasaimon's Tamer screamed, abruptly covering his mouth. He tried to wave him off. 'Damn it, Kasaimon! Go away!'

Suzie tilted her head in confusion, walking over to the bush. "Huh? What are you looking at?"

"N-no!" Takeshi shouted, running towards her. Don't-"

"Oh wow!" the girl said in excitement. "Is he yours? I had a Digimon, too… She had to go away…" she frowned sadly. "Lopmon…"

"Wait…" Takeshi began, staring at her with crimson red eyes. "You're a…" he took notice of the pink D-Power at her side. "Tamer?…" He looked to Kasaimon and waved him off. The blue cyber dinosaur got the hint and ran off.

Suzie sighed. "I guess you could say that… I was one of the 'back-up' Tamers that got their Digimon and D-Power later on, during the trip to the Digital World and the 'D-Reaper Incident' …" She held her D-Power tightly in her hand. "I was a bit too young to understand it very well, but what I was a part of was very big… The entire world almost ended…"

Takeshi was completely caught off guard by this sudden change in personality. "Wow… That's deep… All this time, I thought you were just some spastic girl…"

She tilted her head again. "What was that, Takeshi?"

He quickly changed the subject. "So um… Where do you live, anyway?"

"Actually…" Suzie began. "I live right across the street from you… You see, we recently moved…"

The black haired boy's left eyebrow twitched. "Oh, that's just great…" he said, sarcastically.

The naïve girl failed to notice the sarcasm in his voice. "Oh, I know! Now that we're friends, we can come over to each other's houses and-"

"Hey, wait…" Takeshi interrupted. "Since when were we friends?" he said coldly. "Listen… I don't want or need your friend ship… I'm just fine on my own!"

Suzie sniffled, holding back tears. "But… I thought…" she burst out crying, running out of the room.

He looked on sadly. "Maybe I got a little carried away…"

Suddenly, he heard Suzie scream. He ran in the direction that she had run in and gasped. She had been captured by a giant… yellow… teddy bear… with a band-aid on it's stomach. Takeshi sweat dropped as he took out his D-Power and analyzed it. "Monzaemon…" He took a good look at it. "It doesn't seem to be infected… I wonder what it wants?"

"Someone, help!" Suzie screamed. At that moment, the Digimon jumped up and smashed through the roof.

"Damn it!" they boy screamed. "Kasaimon!"

The blue Digimon peeked through the roof. "What is it, Takeshi?"

The Tamer face faulted. "What the hell are you doing up there! Nevermind, we have to save Suzie!"

Monzaemon chuckled evilly. "She will make a good sacrifice for my master…"

"Master!" Takeshi screamed. "What master! Oh man, as if I didn't already have enough crap to deal with!"

Kasaimon's real eye widened as he pointed in the sky. "Takeshi, look!"

The boy's blood red eyes widened as he stared at a gate to the Digital World in the sky. "Im… Impossible! How can this be!"

"Hearts Attack!" Monzaemon shouted, capturing Suzie in a bubble and watching her float towards the gate.

Takeshi glared at Mozaemon. "Damn you…" he smirked, grabbing his D-Power and reaching into his pocket. "Oh well, I'll just…" he gasped. "My cards! I left them at school! Oh no!" He fell to his knees, dropping his D-Power. "Suzie is doomed…" He cried out, tears running down his cheeks. "It's all my fault… All she wanted to do was to be my friend and I shunned her away… And now… Waah…" His tears hit his D-Power and it began to glow. Takeshi picked it up and stared in amazement. "What the!"

-

Meanwhile, in the Digital World, Calumon was wandering in a desert. He looked up at the sky and saw the gate. "Whoa, what's that?" The triangle on his head began to glow. "Huh?"

-

Takeshi read the words that scrolled on his D-Power. 'Digi-volution'

Kasaimon was surrounded in a blinding light. He began to grow and seemed to sprout wings. "Kasaimon, digi-volve to…" When the light subsided, the Digimon had become… "OokiKasaimon!" He had grown 4 times his normal size and had black spikes running down his head, back, and tail. His robotic arm had gained a huge claw. To finish it off, he had a pair of wings on his back. He glared at Monzaemon, steam coming from his nose. "Get out of our way…"

Mozaemon began to sweat nervously. "Um, heh heh… Come on, I was just kidding! I don't have an evil master! C'mon guys, gimme a break!"

The Tamer glared at Mozaemon hatefully. "Oh, we'll give you break, all right… OokiKasaimon! Go get him!"

"Big Flame!" the flying dinosaur/dragon screamed, breathing a blue flame at the teddy bear. The bear was set aflame. As the Digimon screamed in agony, OokiKasaimon swung his spiky tail at him. "Time to finish you off! Tail Stab!" He impaled Mozaemon, deleting him and absorbing his data.

Takashi hopped on OokiKasaimon's back, pointing towards the bubble. "Go! We have to save Suzie!" OokiKasaimon flew towards the bubble that was carrying Suzie away. As they got closer, Takeshi began to stand up. "I'm about to do something really stupid… No matter what happens, I want you to catch me, okay?" He smirked as OokiKasaimon nodded. "Here goes!" At that moment, he jumped. "Suzie!"

The violet haired girl gasped, crying happily. "Takeshi, you came to save me! So you don't hate me!"

Takeshi landed on the bubble, punching and poking it. No matter what he did, he could not pop it. "Holy crap, this thing is tough!" He grimaced as he came up with an idea. "Well, it's all or nothing…" He opened his mouth wide and bit right into the bubble. It popped, and the boy quickly grabbed Suzie. "Yuck, that was nasty!"

"Takeshi…" Suzie said, a dreamy look in her eyes. "You saved me…" as she realized that they were falling to their doom she screamed. "But who's going to save us!"

As if on cue, OokiKasaimon swooped in and caught them. He brought them safely back to the ground, where he reverted back to Kasaimon. "Whew! That took a lot out of me!"

Suzie giggled, hugging the Digimon and patting him on the head. "Thank you, Kasaimon…" She looked over to Takeshi and smiled. "And thank you…"

He turned way, crossing his arms. "Don't take it the wrong way… I only saved you because…" he turned around and smiled at her. "… you're my friend…"

She smiled back and squealed. "Really!"

Takeshi sighed. "Yeah… And you can come over, if you want…" He screamed as Suzie ran over, tackle hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek. "Gyah!" He yelled, as she got off of him. He quickly stood up and dusted himself off. "What'd you do that for!"

Suzie giggled. "Because we're friends, silly!" She took off one of her bracelets and put it on his wrist. "Here… it's a friendship bracelet!"

The boy looked at it in disgust. "Why would I wear something like this? It's pink!"

She looked away sadly. "Well, you don't have to wear it…" The school bell blared, signaling the end of lunch. "Eep! We'd better get to class!"

-

Later that day, after school, Takeshi arrived at home. "Hey, mom! I'm home!"

His mother peeked into the hallway from the kitchen and smiled. "Welcome home, honey!" His mother had short black hair that sort of rose up in the back. Her eyes were emerald green and she wore a blue t-shirt, jeans, and a blue apron. "I just started preparing dinner… Feel free to have a snack!"

"All right, mom…" Takeshi opened the fridge and took out and apple. He took a bite out of it.

"So, how was school today?…" she asked, cutting vegetables.

Takeshi swallowed his food before answering. "Eh, it was fine… I met this really weird girl, though… It's strange, though… She's been in my class and lives across the street, yet we've never really communicated before…" He took another bite of his apple.

Mrs. Yamato gave him a sly grin. "So, you have a girlfriend, now?"

He choked on his apple as she said that. He pounded on his chest for a few times before swallowing the chunk of apple lodged in his throat. "It's not like that!" He growled, running out of the kitchen and upstairs. As he walked into his room, he stared at his wrist and smiled at the pink bracelet. He then continued into his room.

-
Suzie hummed a happy tune as she danced around the living room of her home. Henry gave her a look of amusement as he looked up from a book he was reading. "What are you so happy about?" He asked, a bit of a chuckle in his voice.

The love struck girl smiled. "A boy I met at school today... He's the best..." She sighed dreamily as she danced out of the room.

"That's nice..." her older brother muttered, going back to his book. He suddenly did a double take. "A boy!" He stood up and started to follow her. "Suzie, what do you mean!" He stopped as something outside the window caught his eye. He stared at the Digital Gate up in the sky. "Oh no..."

-

Rika, who was walking home from the store, dropped her bags as she stared in horror at the sky. It had become blood red, the clouds turning an ugly brown. "What the hell?..."

-

Riley gasped as she stared at the screen. "Sir, there have been reports of a Digital Gate in the sky!"

Tally continued the report. "It's growing at a steady rate! If it continues like this, there will be a flood of 'Wild Ones'!"

Haburi grit his teeth. "Damn it… We'll need reinforcements, then… Get me the Osaka Hypnos building!"

-

"Hello? I see… Well, I'll tell them right away…" Sakura Misamoto, the head of the Osaka Hypnos HQ, stood up. She had brown hair and gray eyes. Dressed in a black business dress, she walked out of her office, down the hallway, and over to a room she knocked on the door.

"It's open!" a voice shouted from the other side.

She opened the door and entered, a stern look on her face. "Tamers Kazu and Kenta… You're needed in your old home…"

To Be Continued…

Finally got this chapter finished. Okay, now I'm definitely going back to my other fic. I think I'll just alternate betweens projects for now.
