DISCLAIMER: I don't own digimon
Chapter 8: The Demon Known as Dorumon
Ryu's eyes sprang open. He got up and quickly scanned his surroundings and was surprised to see that he was in his own bedroom. 'It was only a dream? But it seemed so real.' He laid back in his bed and breathed in deeply. Ewww, It smelled as if he hadn't taken a shower in a couple of days. He got up, took a shower and got dressed.
DING DONG. It was Ryu's doorbell. He went to the downstairs to answer the door. It was Kasume. "Hi Kasume. What are you doing here?" Ryu asked her.
"Don't you remember what today is?" Kasume asked him. Ryu just shook his head. "WHAT! You forgot! Its valentines day today and you promised me we would go to the dance with me."
"Oh no! I cant believe I forgot. Wait a minute, valentines day isn't for a couple more days." Ryu said.
"Are you an idiot? Its today! Hmph! O-well, I didn't want to go with you anyways!" Kasume said with tears in her eyes. She turned away and left, slamming the door on the way out.
"Maybe it is valentines day today? But why cant I remember what happened after that concert incident? I should have remembered the last few days but I cant." Ryu said to himself. He did his best to remember what had happened. After he had went to with Kasume he met with Shantelle and Hikaru. Shantelle was being a bitch and he left with Kasume to go home. And then … "I got struck by lightning! I remember. But how did I get home? And where are my parents?"
He thought about it for a moment until he felt an intense pain in his leg. The pain was immense. Slowly his house started dissolving around him into blackness.
He didn't do anything until he realized that his eyes were closed. He slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't tell anything that was around him. It was all too blurry. The pain in his leg continued as he tried to refocus his eyes. Soon he could see what was going on. He was in the upstairs room of Akamaru's shop. The cast that was on his leg was gone. In the corner of the room he saw someone sitting at a table. It was Akamaru. In his hands was Ryu's digivice. Akamaru had taken it apart and was looking at the inside.
"Damn you Akamaru" Ryu whimpered. He couldn't speak loudly enough so he didn't know if Akamaru heard him or not. The next few minutes were nothing but silence until Akamaru said, "So you're awake! I Guess that drug wore off faster than it was supposed to. I wouldn't be expecting your friends to save you anytime soon."
"Why don't you think that they'll save me?" Ryu whimpered as loud as he could
"Their first attempt has already failed" Akamaru said as he pointed to another corner. In that corner was Leomon. He was covered in bruises and deep gashes, and was chained to the wall. "Apparently he thought he could take on me and my digimon single-handedly. As you can see he was no match for me." Akamaru pulled out a long pole with a strange metal tip. He stuck the tip into Leomon's chest. Leomon screamed in agony when Akamaru did this. "Nothing like rage to fuel the fire. Ha ha ha. Now I want you to show me how to use the special powers of the digidestined's digivices or else I'll use my shock prod here to send 200,000 volts of electricity through your body." He got a wicked smile on his face when he said, "Or maybe I'll just keep using it on Leomon. Do you want to be responsible for Leomon's pain? Ha ha ha." He took the shock prod and stuck it back into Leomon's chest.
He held it there for nearly a minute. When he removed it he laughed and said, "I'm just joking around. Either way I'm gonna do this to Leomon. Heh heh heh. Sometimes torture brings out unknown power. And when it happens to Leomon, then I'll kill him and have my digimon absorb his data. And unless your digidestined friends get digimon of their own and have ultimate level digivolution than you cant do anything about it." He smirked as he took the shock prod towards Ryu and stabbed it into his chest. "Ha ha ha ha ha. So how about it? How do I use your digivice?" He asked Ryu. Ryu just spit at him. "Have it your way! Ha ha ha!" He shocked Ryu and Leomon again before he left the room
"Digidestined child! Are you all right?" Ryu looked at where the voice came from. Leomon. Leomon was staring at him and asked, "Are you all right digidestined child? That electrocution was very painful to myself and I am a lot tougher than you are. It must have been excruciating for you."
"It was all right, but I'm gonna get him back double for that! I promise! He's gonna die at my hands! I wont give up until he feels the same pain I'm feeling. Leomon I'll need your help for this. I cant do this without your power. How about it?" The rage was building up in Ryu as he got a murderous look in his eyes.
"I wont help you accomplish this murder. If you do this then you are no better than him." Leomon said to him.
Ryu looked away from Leomon as tears started forming in his eyes. He tried his best to stop crying but he couldn't hold it back. Ryu busted out in tears at hearing that he couldn't do anything about that bastard who was torturing him and Leomon. "Damn you! Damn this world! Damn that Akamaru! DAMN IT ALL! I NEED A DIGIMON HERE WHO WILL HELP ME! AHHHHHHHHHHH"
During Ryu's screaming Akamaru had come back to the room and was now using his shock prod on him again. Ryu screamed in agony. While this was happening his digivice that was on a table on the other side of the room started glowing. The more that Ryu screamed, the brighter the glow became, until the glow started changing shape. Before, the glow was just scattered light, but now it was transforming into the shape of an egg. The glow stopped and in its place was a digiegg. The digiegg was deep violet in color and had the crest of Courage on it. Akamaru continued shocking Ryu. Neither or them had noticed the digiegg appearing. The only one who noticed was Leomon. The sight of the digiegg seemed to scare him greatly. A black light was emanating from the crest. The digiegg was starting to turn black. The more Ryu screamed, the more black the digiegg became.
"Akamaru, I'm not gonna give up! Your torture doesn't intimidate me! My friends are gonna save me! Just you wait! I'm not afraid of you, you bastard!" Ryu screamed at Akamaru. The black that was starting to cover the digiegg had only covered half of the egg. Before it could cover it anymore the digiegg started hatching. A black light emanated From the cracks that were in the egg. This time Akamaru and Ryu noticed the black light. Akamaru stopped shocking Ryu because he was too entranced by the light. He turned to look at Ryu because he suspected that Ryu had something to do with it. When he looked he saw that Ryu was gone and so was Leomon.
Leomon had broken free of Akamaru's restraints and had freed Ryu. Leomon had then brought Ryu to the other side of the room. Ryu grabbed his digivice and then looked in awe at the digiegg that was hatching.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Akamaru pulled out his digivice and his deck of cards. He called for Otomamon to come to him. Otomamon rushed into the room but he was severely beat up. "Master, a guy in a black trench coat had an Apemon attack me and the Tentomon. And with him was the digidestined kids. And one of the girls had a Candlemon with her. And now they're coming this way." The Otomamon said to Akamaru.
Back with Ryu and Leomon, the digiegg had hatched. Coming out of the dark light that was coming from the digiegg was a digimon. The digimon looked like a purple fox that was standing on two legs. It had a white belly and white tips on its paws, nose, and tail. It also had very small, leathery bat wings and a red triangular crest on its forehead.
Ryu's digimon looked at Akamaru with evil looking eyes and growled. He then opened up his mouth and a huge ball of dark energy shot towards Akamaru.
The digimon that came out of Ryu's egg shot a ball of dark energy at Akamaru.
"Otomamon warp digivolve to shogungekomon" Akamaru had swiped an orange card through his digivice. Otomamon then digivolved into a large red amphibian with a tuba on it. Shogungekomon acted as a shield for Akamaru and was hit by the dark blast. Shogungekomon Flew backwards and dedigivolved into a three foot tall Frog-like digimon with a tuba on its back. "Gekomon" "Damn it! How can a newly hatched digimon defeat an ultimate level." Akamaru pulled out a card and swiped it through his digivice "HYPER SPEED ACTIVATE!"
Ryu's digimon ran towards Gekomon and shot another ball of dark energy at him. Gekomon dodged it with unimaginable speed. Then Hikaru, Shantelle, Kasume, and Wizardmon burst into the room.
"Ryu are you okay? I was so worried about you" Kasume ran up to him and started hugging him. Ryu looked at her and saw that she was crying.
"Children, now is the time for you all to escape." Leomon stepped in front of them and pulled Ryu away from Kasume. "A horrible thing is happening to you. That digimon from your digiegg was born of anger and hatred. If you are to be our saviors than you will need to learn to limit the dark powers of this digimon. You must purify it or else you will become corrupt. Take this as you may need it. You might not be able to trust that digimon with your life like the other digidestined can with their digimon." Leomon handed Ryu a short sword that he had on his belt. For Ryu though the sword was about the size of a broadsword because of the difference in size between Ryu and Leomon. "Use that to protect yourself. I shall not return ever again. But I will be with you, for soon your digimon will absorb my data. It cannot be helped."
Ryu's digimon was still fighting Gekomon. "SYMPHONY CRUSHER" Gekomon shot a wave of sonic energy at his opponent which was countered by another dark blast. "FIST OF THE BEAST KING" Leomon shot his attack at Ryu's digimon. The attack hit him and knocked him away. "FIST OF THE BEAST KING" This time Leomon shot his attack at Gekomon. It hit with such force that it knocked him through the wall and out of the building. During this, Ryu's digimon had gotten back up and shot a dark blast at Leomon. It destroyed Leomon and he became data that was absorbed by the evil digimon.
Akamaru watched as the digimon destroyed the shop. Then it turned to Akamaru. Akamaru ran to a desk and pulled out a dismantled digivice, a disk, and some notes. He took the stuff and ran out of the shop and out of sight.
Now the digimon looked at Wizardmon but instead ignored it. It walled up to Ryu and Kasume. Kasume was hugging Ryu again. The digimon stared at her and growled. It pushed its nose in between the kids and separated them. It curled around Ryu's legs, covering them, and growled at Kasume more.
"Hey get away from her you fiend!" Kirk had made his way upstairs with Tapirmon and was watching Ryu's digimon growling at Kasume.
"Who is this?" Ryu asked Kasume.
"This is Kirk! He helped us rescue you. And that is Tapirmon, his partner." Kasume told Ryu. Ryu's digimon nudged her with his nose and growled at her again. "Kirk this is Ryu, the one we're saving. OWWWW!" Ryu's digimon dripped several drops of saliva on her foot. They burned her and left pentagram shaped burn marks each place they landed. That caused her excruciating pain but soon subsided and the pentagrams disappeared. "What is that thing Ryu?" Kasume asked him.
"GRRRRRR. My name is Dorumon and leave Ryu alone. GRRRR." the digimon said to her.
Ryu stared at Dorumon and then said to him. "We gotta go now. Could you please get off of my legs." Dorumon looked at Ryu for a moment and then bit his fangs into Ryu's legs and then his eyes that had a evil look in them changed, making him look totally different. Nice almost. He smiled at Ryu and stood up on two legs, revealing Ryu's legs. Ryu looked at them and saw that they were perfectly healed. "Whoa, that's cool. My legs are healed." His legs started giving off a faint black glow. "Now that is weird!" He said frightened. "What the hell did you do to my legs?"
"Hey are we gonna go or not?" Shantelle asked. "As nice as seeing Ryu is, we have to leave. You, furball, get your ass out that door!" She yelled at Dorumon. "You too lovebirds!" She walked behind Ryu and Kasume and shoved them towards the door. "We're leaving now!"
Kasume, Ryu, Dorumon, Wizardmon, and Hikaru. Left down the stairs. On his way out, Kirk stopped Shantelle and asked her, "Are those two going out?" he pointed at Kasume and Ryu.
"No! They like each other but they're too stupid to realize that. Now go! I'm tired of waiting here." Shantelle responded
"If he isn't going out with her than I'm gonna ask Kasume out."
"Good for you. Now get your ass out of here."
Tapirmon, Kirk, and Shantelle went downstairs to see the others waiting for them. Hikaru was sitting in a corner watching Wizardmon who was doing magic tricks for him. Kasume was sitting next to Hikaru, but she wasn't watching Wizardmon. She was staring at the other side of the room, watching Ryu. Ryu was walking around the shop, looking at all of the digivices that were sold here. Dorumon was running across Ryu's shoulders and neck like a ferret. Ryu looked at Kirk when he came downstairs and said to him, "Um… Kirk is it? Do you know anyplace around where I can get some new clothes?" Ryu's jeans had been ripped and shredded badly and his shirt has burn marks from Akamaru's shock prod. "And take a shower?" He sniffed himself and found out that he reeked.
"The place I get my clothes isn't that far away from here but as for a shower, I have no idea what that is." Kirk responded.
"Don't you have anyplace to wash around here?" Ryu asked.
"Oh, if that's what you want than you need to use the river outside of the city."
"Okay, Is there another place to get clothes around here? I'm not really into the Goth look."
"Not that I know of. There aren't that many clothing stores around that I go to."
"I guess beggars cant be choosers."
"Wait a minute! Are you saying that you don't have any money?"
"None. Me and Kasume spent all of ours on a room and doctor fees."
"Dude I'm not rich. I cant buy clothes for you. You guys already used a fortune of my money when Kasume used my rare power up card. That was worth more than you'll ever make in your life. I cant spend all of my money on strangers. Even if they are the digidestined."
"Why the hell is everyone calling us digidestined?"
"Will you two just SHUT UP!" Shantelle yelled. "If he doesn't want to spend his money on us than we should just get our own." She walked up to the store's cash register and whacked the side of it. The cash drawer popped open revealing a lot of money.
"Shantelle! You aren't suggesting that we should steal this money?" Kasume said.
"I'm just saying that we should get financial compensation for what Akamaru did to Ryu. I mean look at him. He looks like he was tortured. He deserves this money for his pain. So lets just skip the legal process and take it." Shantelle protested. She grabbed some of the money and looked at it. "This money looks weird. Nothing like any of our world's money. O-well." She took the money and started shoving it in her pockets.
"I thought you said the money should go to Ryu." Kasume said to Shantelle.
"Fine." Shantelle took the money out of her pocket and handed it all to Ryu.
Ryu took all the money and looked at it. "Kirk, do you think this is enough money to buy clothes."
Kirk looked at the money and said "That's a lot of money! Plenty for clothes. Akamaru must make a killing with this shop."
"Great! Lets go to the clothes store and then to the river to wash."
They left the store and passed Otomamon's unconscious body on their way to the clothing store. When they got there, there was mostly gothic clothes and body piercing in there, but there were also some regular clothes there as well.. That was definitely where Kirk shopped. Everyone looked around and found some new clothes. None of them really were into the gothic look but they seemed to liked the clothes that were here. Hikaru's new outfit was black jeans and a plain black tee shirt and shoes. Kasume chose a long black skirt, black boots, and a dark purple shirt. Shantelle had some sneakers, a neon pink skirt, and a bright pink shirt
They all looked at Shantelle until she said, "What? Pink is the new black.".
"Ryu, what's taking so long?" Kasume asked. She and Kirk were waiting outside of the dressing room waiting to see what he had chosen. Ryu didn't want to wear too much black or any pink, so Kirk had helped him find some other clothes. Ryu came out of the dressing room. He was wearing blue jeans and tall black boots that reached over his knees. He had a long sleeve white puffy shirt and a short sleeve dark red shirt over it. The red shirt looked like it came from medieval England and had a very large collar. "Heh heh. You look like a pirate." Kasume said as she laughed.
"Nice to know." Ryu said sarcastically. "I'm gonna change to something else."
"Come on Ryu. You haven't even looked in the mirror yet." Kasume told him.
Ryu went to the mirror and looked at it. "Damn it, you're right. I look like a freak."
"Keep it, Ryu. It looks cute."
"NO!" Ryu took off the shirts and grabbed a plain black shirt. Then Ryu bought everyone's clothes with the money they got from the digivice shop. No one wore the clothes they had bought on the way out. They wore their old clothes and were going to change into their new ones after they washed. They followed Kirk to the river.
"Hey Kirk, Where could we get some of those power up cards?" Kasume asked Kirk on the way out of the village.
"There is a shop around here that sell them." Kirk told her. They took a quick detour to the card shop. There they found that there were thousands of different individual cards. They also had packs that had five random cards and a starter pack with 25 cards. All of them were very expensive. They each got one of the starter decks and a leather card pouch. Those cards nearly took up the rest of their money, which was quite a lot. Ryu had estimated that it would have been worth close to three thousand dollars American for those cards.
"Dude, it may have used up all of the money but trust me, these things are worth it." Kirk told Ryu. At the shop Kirk had bought Twenty pure white cards. They headed to the river afterwards and the digidestined kids had washed up and changed into their new clothes. While they washed, Kirk pulled out a laptop and inserted a white card into a slot in it.
"What are you doing." Hikaru asked Kirk after he changed.
"I'm programming these cards." He pulled out a card he had put in and it was now blue. He added it to a stack with the other cards he programmed. "If you have the right equipment you can program your own cards." He put another white card into the laptop. "These blue cards here that I'm making are used for basic digivolution." He opened a program and typed something. "There is an algorithm for every single card that you saw at that store. If you know where to find it than you can program it into blank cards. Great way to save money on cards but it's very hard to find the algorithms. You could buy the algorithm from someone who already has it but most people charge five thousand times the value of the card." He pulled out the card and put in another "I only have four different algorithms but some people often create their own. It's very risky though. If your algorithm is just barely off it could totally destroy the digimon you use it on. You need to be very careful when rewriting a digimon's data. You shouldn't try this until you are very familiar with programming and using algorithms." He finished off all of the cards he bought and then pulled out the blank one that used to be the ULTRA DIGIVOLVE card. He put it in the laptop and opened a different program when he pulled it out it was orange. "This card is to warp digivolve to ultimate level, but only if you have enough experience to digivolve to that level normally. One of these cards are worth more than all of those decks you got. Greatest algorithm that I ever found. I found it inside of the data of a very strong digimon. That dude nearly killed Tapirmon."
While Kirk was explaining all of this to Hikaru, Ryu and Kasume had come over to listen. When he finished explaining all of that he took the pile of cards that he programmed. He gave each of the digidestined five blue cards and he gave the orange card to Ryu. "Okay guys, that's all that I can do for you. I need to leave now. Go find the rest of the digieggs and train with wild digimon until you get stronger." He packed up his stuff and began to leave when they heard a siren in the distance. "Shit! They know that you're near this village! You guys gotta get as far away from the sirens and village as possible! Fast! These guys are more dangerous than Akamaru" Kirk ran towards the village as fast as he could, leaving the digidestined kids alone.
