Thank's to everyone who left a review~
Sweet-Cari- Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The twisted personalities of the digimon's are going to be a big thing in this and it is part of the reason for how they change.
Guest- you're welcome! I do get that the prologue was a bit confusing, especially with the 02 teases. Of course, eventually, it would be more clear.
Now that we've finally introduced all the kids and Digimon's, we are finally gonna get deeper into the plot.
"What if it's poisonous?! You could get sick!" Joe exclaimed, interfering with Izzy from examining an unusual pink and turquoise-coloured leaf. Izzy sighed, he just wanted to examine a strange plant.
"What if it's dirty? You could sick!" Joe screeched, interfering with Izzy and the ladybug and seal Digimon from drinking the lake water. Gomamon didn't listen, as he stopped drinking it to jump into it causing Joe to screech even louder. Tentomon was confused, and Izzy just scoffed. He just wanted to drink some water!
"What if it's rotten?! You could get sick!!" Joe screeched and called out from not so far away on top of his lungs, interfering with Izzy and the two other Digimon from eating some odd coloured fruit. Gomamon looked at his partner confused, before laughing and chucking down a whole ton of orange apples, causing Joe to shriek. Again. And Tentomon was still confused, poking the blue pineapple with his claw. Izzy groaned, but this time with anger, frustration and hunger. He just wanted to eat some food!!
"Stop it!" He demanded, surprising the seal and human duo. He stood up, with the help of the overprotective Tentomon, and stomped his foot. "Stop telling me what to do! This is the only thing we can eat!"
Joe looked at him with his mouth agape. He looked surprised, but also a bit hurt. "B-but I'm just trying to protect you guys!" He defended, raising his arms in the air. "My dad's a doctor and my mom's a nurse! I know that there is something wrong with an apple if it's orange!"
"There's something wrong with the apple?" Tentomon asked, walking towards the pile of orange apples. Gomamon stopped for a second before he continued to laugh and eat more odd fruits.
"But, our fruits are always supposed to be like that!" Tentomon explained, taking an apple and eating it in one go. Joe gasped and Izzy sighed.
"See!" He said, agitated and annoyed. "The apples are fine so please let me eat!"
"I-I'm sorry..." Joe tried to fight back. He felt ashamed. He just wanted to help Izzy. He's only ten, can't take care of himself. "I just wanted to help you..."
Joe mumbled the last part to himself, as Izzy already walk away to eat some food.
"They're just apples, Joe!" Joe hears Gomamon call out to him and felt a fin flap onto his thigh. He looked down to see the seal smiling. "Besides, if they do end up being poison, then we will just be in agonizing pain for weeks and probably die! That's all!"
Joe gasped in fear and a bit surprised. He quickly grabbed Gomamon by his little shoulders and shake him furiously.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!" Joe squeaked in fear, and despite feeling dizzy and wobbly, Gomamon couldn't help but laugh when he let him free.
"Calm down man! It's just a joke!"
Joe is a loyal and reliable kid, he truly cares about the others. Although Gomamon knows that his loyalty won't help them with the task their master will bring upon them, and as much as Gomamon loves Joe, he knows that he must change. Just like how the others will too.
"I CAME TO SLAY YOU FOOLS, AHAHAHAHA!"
That came out of nowhere, no one noticed the weird red vegetable thing until he laughed his loud and obnoxious laugh.
Joe squealed, and quickly picked up Gomamon and hid behind him. "What is that thing?!"
Joe was frightened, but Gomamon just scoffed. Why does digimon like RedVegiemon have to announce their presence? He probably would've succeeded if he didn't tell them he was there. They didn't even notice him!
"It's RedVegiemon!" Tentomon spoke with urgency, flying towards the scared boy and his curious Digimon. Izzy ran behind him, eyes widened with shock.
The digimon was red and resembled some sort of fruit, but it had a nasty grin and spiked-up hands. Are all evil digimon looks this stupid and goofy?
"No one hurts my Joe! Marching Fishes!" Gomamon exclaimed, raising his fin and summoning a bunch of multicoloured little fishes from nowhere.
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon produced some electricity from his wings and released it at RedVegiemon.
RedVegiemon laughed and swung his arms at the attacks sending them away. Izzy observed this with his awe, and quickly took out his notepad and a pen to take some notes. So Tentomon, a ladybug, could produce electricity. Fascinating. And Gomamon, a seal, could call and summon a pack of fishes. Makes sense, but how? They came from nowhere and there isn't any water nearby.
"W-what are you doing?" Joe stuttered, he gulped seeing the big scary digimon but was also surprised with how calm the ten-year-old was, taking notes.
"I'm taking some notes," Izzy responded calmly, eyes glued to the paper, and Joe's eyes widened. "Now?!"
Both Gomamon and Tentomon stood in front of the boys to protect them and RedVegiemon just laughed at the red-haired one.
"You fools! You should never let your guard down!!" RedVegiemon exclaimed, pointing his spiky hand at them. "Vegiemon! Now!"
No one noticed the other variation of RedVegiemon, who is yellow except for red and has no spikes on his vine-like hands. Izzy was too observed in his notes, Joe was too frightened, and the digimon was too focused on protecting their partners. But, a yellow slimy vine hand did wrap around the four of them, squeezing as hard as he can and dragging them away.
Tai felt a bit nervous around Biyomon. She wouldn't stop giving him a death glare, which just gets sharper and angrier every time he goes near Sora. It's like she's Sora's mom and he's a friend that she doesn't approve of. Not that Mrs. Takenouchi approves of him now, but she would never give him a dirty look or a look of death and murder.
Biyomon didn't let anyone near Sora. When BlackAgumon offer to help Sora with the fishing, Biyomon got mad and scratch him, and he ended up kicking her across the field. They both got into a pretty bad fight which was almost impossible for the two children to break apart, despite the digimon's being so small.
"Don't you think Biyomon is a little, too much?" Tai said at the end of the small little fight between Biyomon and BlackAgumon. BlackAgumon is hungry, begging for food in his sleep, and probably dreaming about it too. While Biyomon was exhausted and tired and was curled up around Sora."I mean, I get that she's protective of you and all, but she didn't need to attack BlackAgumon, especially if he was just trying to help you."Sora shrugged, and wrapped an arm around Biyomon, petting the feathers on her head.
"I know, but she'll become nicer. I'll teach her. And besides, she's so cute!"
Biyomon is cuddly and childish, and Sora has a soft spot towards kids like her, like his little sister Kari, or TK, the kid she babysits. But, that is also her weakness.
One time she looked over that Takaishi kid for the night, and his cuteness and innocent act tricked her. She came to school the next day with her shoulder-length hair messily cut much shorter than before. Tai never knew that kid but still saw him as the devil, since Sora forgave him the next day.
"Tai, look!" Tai was snapped out of his thoughts after hearing the BlackAgumon cry out to him. He, Biyomon and Sora turned towards where the black dinosaur was pointing at. There they saw a giant, boulder-like rhino running towards them. They all screamed as they dived towards the bushes, where they were able to hide.
"Damn you!" BlackAgumon growled, black fire coming out from his closed mouth.
"No one hurts my Sora!!" Biyomon cursed, sending out a hard glare and brought out her sharpest claws.
"Wait!" Before BlackAgumon and Biyomon could charge in, Sora jumped in front of the two Digimon with her arms spread.
"Huh?" BlackAgumon and Biyomon titled their heads confused, and Tai frowned. "Sora?"
"Look!" She said, pointing towards the dinosaur. "He doesn't notice us, it's something else!"
Sora was right. The rhino digimon seemed so focus on something ahead, and they could hear some loud footsteps coming from not too far.
Later, a green stegosaurus-like digimon with blades pointing out of his back came stomping down the little pathway, meeting up with the rock digimon.
"Monochromon," The stegosaurus said, "This is mine territory! You can't pass by here! And for that, you will pay."
BlackAgumon tilted his head. "They're fighting for territory?" He wondered. "But why would a Monochromon wanna live in a forest?"
The rock dinosaur, or what the stegosaurus called Monochromon responded with a scoff.
"Oh please," He said after rolling his eyes. "After I defeat you Stegomon, this territory will become my very own."
The Stegomon growled and came charging at the Monochromon with teeth-bared, looking like he is ready to eat. Monochromon smirked, and rolled up into a ball and rolled away, dodging the attack.
Stegomon ended up bumping into a tree, and he growled at the speedy dinosaur again. Monochromon rolled out of his ball and smirked satisfied.
"You will pay!!" He growled and ran towards him, but stopped once he felt something wrap around him, stopping him from moving.
Tai, Sora and the digimon gasped from their hiding spot. They didn't notice the RedVegiemon's and Vegiemon's gang up from behind.
"What?" Stegomon gasped with surprise. He turned around to see a bunch of smirking RedVegiemon and Vegiemon's. He turned back to Monochromon, who had the same smirk as his companion's. He snarled at them.
"It's over Stegomon! Volcanic Strike!" Monochromon let out a powerful hot flame at Stegomon, and his eyes widened, knowing it was over.
The flame hit his body, and he screamed in agonizing pain, feeling his body slowly burn and degenerate. He soon exploded into little pixels.
Tai and Sora gasped, as the body slowly disappeared. D-did he just kills him?
Monochromon chuckled and smirked. Finally, this territory was now his!
"Vegiemon, RedVegiemon!" Monochromon barked at the chuckling vegetables, causing them to flinch. "Go find me more pray!"
They quickly listened to his order and ran into the bushes.
Tai was still stunned, frightened, and he looked over at Sora, who had her mouth wide open and her body was shaking. She was terrified. He put a hand on her shoulder, and she flinched, snapping her head around to face him.
She looks like she saw the ghost. Her face was pale and lost all colour, her eyes widened with fear and worry. But once she saw Tai, she calmed down a bit and smiled.
Tai silently grinned back and looked at Biyomon and BlackAgumon. They weren't frightened or scared, nor excited or trill. They just had a normal, plain look on their face, as if none of those was coming straight out of an action movie.
Monochromon smirked, droll dripping from his mouth. "You sure look hungry," The rhino grinned, turning his to where the kids are hiding. "...young humans!"
Tai and Sora gasped, and BlackAgumon and Biyomon jumped out with an angered and determined face.
"Pepper Breath!" BlackAgumon opened his mouth and spits out a fireball.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon did the same, but spit out a green fire that was spiralling around.
The two flame attacks hit Monochromon's shell, but he barely flinched. Monochromon chuckled, glaring intensity at his two new opponents. Tai and Sora stayed hidden safely in the bushes.
"Is that all you got?" He sneered. "Now it's my turn, Fiery Breath!"
Monochromon spat out a fireball, but not at the two digimon's, but instead at their partners. Tai and Sora's eyes widened and like a reflex, Tai quickly huddled Sora by wrapping his arms around her body to protect her from the blast.
"Tai!" BlackAgumon yelled, growling with anger and determination to protect his human.
"Sora!" Biyomon cried, tears already forming in her eyes and her heart beating faster and harder with every second.
The two digimon's ran to their humans and jumped in the way, crying in pain as they felt the fire burn their backs.
"BlackAgumon!" Tai panted out his little buddy's name and Sora cried our Biyomon's, her hand slapped against her mouth and tears spilling from her eyes. They watched as they both fell to the ground, exhausted.
Monochromon was laughing a booming and loud laugh, enjoying the fall of the digimons. Sora and Tai ran up to them. Sora picked up Biyomon and hugged her tightly, while Tai gently lifted BlackAgumon's back off the ground and laid him against his leg.
"You okay?" Tai asked his fallen partner. The black dinosaur slowly opens his eyes and groans in pain.
"Mhmm, y-yeah..." Tai watched how his friend twitched and squirmed, groaning anytime he felt pain.
Tai couldn't control his anger, his hands clutching BlackAgumon's shoulders and his teeth clenching. No one should suffer this, being attacked for doing what? Protecting Tai? He didn't want to see anyone go through pain just for Tai's need, like how his sister put her life on the line just because she didn't want to ruin her brother's fun.
"Goddammit!!" Tai snarled, his eyebrows down together and the corners of his lips narrowed. Tai glared and pointed a mad finger at Monochromon. "I'll never forgive for what you have down!"
Monochromon laughed, and he rolled his eyes. "And what are you going to do about that?"
Tai scowled, and he stood up and picking a stick from the ground and charged towards him, stick raised high in the air.
"Tai?!" BlackAgumon yelled Tai's name confused. He didn't get why Tai cared so much and wasn't so scared just a minute ago. But, that doesn't matter now, as Tai is putting himself in danger.
"Tai!" BlackAgumon crawled towards his partner. He felt his stomach drop and felt hollow, and his heart was beating fast, so very fast. What was this feeling? Was it fear?
Sora gasp, as she saw a blue run past her. She looks up and wipes the tears stained on her cheeks and eyes. "Tai!" She yelled in a scolding manner, noticing that her childhood friend was charging at their enemy.
Tai ran at him, finding a way to get towards one of his front feet. He used the stick to stab and jam the foot, but it didn't work as it was as hard as a rock.
Monochromon was chuckling, and his chuckles soon turned into laughter, and the laughter turned louder and louder.
"Oh please!" He smirked, kicking Tai away. Tai yelped, hitting a tree with his back and slamming down on the groaned. He attempted to get up, but the pain was so strong and his back and shoulders are aching so badly. How could Biyomon and BlackAgumon survive that fire blast?
Sora gasped and continued to call out his name. BlackAgumon groaned and picked himself up. He ran towards his friend and ignored the pain coming from his limbs.
"Now to finish you once and for all! Fiery Breath!" Monochromon spit out another fireball, and Tai didn't have the time to run out of the way. But BlackAgumon was still running and was able to catch up, protecting his friend. But Tai's eyes widened, and he felt his heart clench.
"BLACKAGUMON!!"
Before the blast could hit BlackAgumon, a black, dark light emitted from the dark device in Tai's pocket.
This dark light demolishes the fireball, and Monochromon took a step back, unaware of the situation.
"BlackAgumon digivolve to..." BlackAgumon said, his body glowing black and slowly begins to expand, his figure becoming taller and bigger.
"No way!" Biyomon squeals in Sora's arms, wings hovering her beak.
"BlackGreymon!" The light dimmed to reveal a new digimon in BlackAgumon's place. It was a much bigger dinosaur, his skin is dark blue and he has black stripes over his body, with a black, hard shell that is covering his head.
Tai, who was sitting on his shell, looked down at the bigger digimon with amazement and looked down to the floor to see just how much taller he is now. Tai isn't all that great with math and measurements, but he assumes he is about a whole ten or fifteen feet off of the ground.
"You okay Tai?" BlackGreymon asked, surprising the boy who was still deep into his thoughts, which really was nothing.
"Y-yeah!"
Sora blinked from below. She couldn't believe what she just saw. Did he, like, evolve? Biyomon on the other hand was staring at him with amazement and glee, her eyes sparkling.
As this was considered a miracle to the children, this was considered a burden to Monochromon.
"A digivolution?" Monochromon growled and he narrowed his eyes. "But who cares! Nothing will change! I will still defeat you!"
Monochromon spat out another Fiery Breath but this time BlackGreymon easily dodged it, and he ran towards him.
"Don't you ever..." BlackGreymon snarled, clutching Monochromon's tail. The rhino gasped, feeling the other dinosaurs' sharpest claws dig deep into his tail. BlackGreymon starts to spin around, dragging Monochromon with him. "Hurt Tai again!!"
BlackGreymon let go of him and flung him to the sky. "Nova Blast!" Like BlackAgumon's Pepper Breath, BlackGreymon spat out a fireball too, but it was instead much, much bigger.
Its target was of course Monochromon, and he was eventually hit by it. Feeling the same pain he gave to BlackAgumon and Biyomon, Monochromon gasped, and his body digitized.
He fell to the ground after he was hit, and Monochromon was laid on his shell, helpless to get back on his feet. BlackGreymon wasn't done. He ran as fast as he could to his fallen enemy, and jumped, hitting him with his tail, a tail so sharp that it sliced his almost-dead body in half.
"Tail Smash!" And with that, Monochromon became tiny, tiny pixels.
"Ow!" Izzy hissed, groaning when Joe decided to bump his head against his own. He felt a bump grow on his head, his head pounding.
"S-sorry," Joe apologized meekly, looking down ashamed and embarrassed. Izzy rolled his eyes, and tried to touch his sore head, but remember that his hands were tied up. He scoffed, annoyed.
The RedVegiemon and Vegiemon were laughing ahead of them, dragging them across the floor. He and Joe were tied back and back and so were Tentomon and Gomamon. Izzy did feel bad for Gomamon, as his face was against the ground and was being dragged through the muddy earth on his stomach.
RedVegiemon was cheering, pumping his spiky vines in the air and hoping towards his destination. Vegiemon was laughing, he also needed to hop while his hands were behind his back dragging the two humans and Digimon.
"Can you let us go?!" Izzy scowled annoyed, and RedVegiemon rolled his eyes. "Of course not! You're gonna be our masters' prey!"
"Prey?!" Joe screeched and Izzy winced at the loud scream in his ear. Gomamon still laughed while bumping into small lumps in the ground, and Tentomon buzzed with worry. "Oh, dear..."
They've stopped by a bush, and the RedVegiemon jumped right in.
"Boss!" It yelled, and Vegiemon chuckled, raising his two vines and his captives in the air. Izzy and Tentomon gasped, Gomamon laughed, and Joe screeched, feeling their bodies levitate from the ground. "We got you more pray!"
As in on cue, Vegiemon jumped in beside RedVegiemon and threw their captives down on the ground. Poor Gomamon landed on his face again, but he shook it off with a laugh.
Izzy looked up and saw a big black dinosaur. He gasped, realizing that this was probably the Vegiemon and his red variation boss. But then, on the top of his head he saw...
"Tai?!" He gasped, and Tai's eyes widened. "Izzy?"
"Wait, Izzy?" The redhead heard a feminine voice and saw a girl with short auburn hair walk behind the dinosaur, carrying a pink bird. "Sora?"
"Humans!" Joe squealed and took a big breath in. "Oh thank god..."
"Wait a minute!" RedVegiemon stopped their reunion and pointed his spiky hand at them. Both he and Vegiemon are mad, gritting their teeth. "What happened to our boss?!"
"Oh, Monochromon?" BlackGreymon scoffed, smirking. "I've taken care of him."
Vegiemon eyes widened and RedVegiemon gasped. "Impossible!" RedVegiemon swung his arm at the giant dinosaur, but BlackGreymon swiftly turned around, his tail swinging towards the vegetable digimon.
"Tail Smash!" He smashed his tail at the red vegetable sending him towards a tree, where he exploded into little pieces of data.
"RedVegiemon!" Vegiemon cried for his friend, and didn't notice BlackGreymon coming towards him until he saw his shadow loom over him. Once he looked up he saw the sole of BlackGreymon's foot and was stepped on a second later, exploding into pixels. The only thing that stayed alive is his vines.
The digimon's cheered for the defeat of their enemies, and the children watched feeling uncomfortable.
"You killed them!" Joe screeched at BlackAgumon, who scratched his head confused. "Why wouldn't I have?"
BlackGreymon turned back into BlackAgumon and they freed Izzy, Joe and their digimon's. Tai, BlackAgumon, Sora, Biyomon, Joe and Gomamon are talking about the fight, while Izzy and Tentomon are examining the vines that were leftover from Vegiemon's body.
"Don't you think that was a bit too ruthless?" Sora cringed, rubbing her arms. Biyomon softly laughed. "Of course not!"
"They were our enemy!" Gomamon explained, patting his partner's leg. "We had to kill them!"
"Yeah but..." Tai sighed, put his hands in his pockets. "I get why we had to kill Monochromon, but the Vegiemon and RedVegiemon, we could've just let them run away,"
Run away? A cold, dark, deep voice rang in Tai's head, and he felt a cold shiver run down his spine. Tai looked around, trying to see where the voice was coming from but saw nothing but black and darkness.
What you did was good, allowing BlackGreymon to destroy them. It is the only way you can survive in my world!
'Who are you?' Tai spoke to the voice in his head, but the voice just ignored his questions and continued speaking.
You are the only one who can continue my destruction, you must be the one to lead the other dark DigiDestined to your goal. That's is why you are here in the Digital World
Tai's eyes widened and he gasped. Destruction? Why does he have to cause destruction?
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Tai meant to say that in his head, but instead said it out loud. The darkness started to fade away and he saw his friends looking at him weirdly, confused at his sudden outburst. The voice was gone.
Since we have gotten more into the action, I might start uploading more regularly instead of just once a month. No promises, but considering that this chapter came out much earlier than the last three, the later ones might too.
