Back to this story again… I'm starting to think that it's not one of the most popular but is the most popular fanfic on my series. Had a rough start at first, but as I got better at writing I think I'm improving on my chapters.
After how long it took for one of my last story's chapter to come out, I'm gonna try and get this one out, but each time these chapters just seem to get longer and longer. Nonetheless, I plan on completing this story and getting my head back in the game cause during horrible times like this, we need fanfiction to help us escape reality.
Beginning our next chapter, we find a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Bright gray colored, and had edges to climb on. And we just so happen to find a certain boy with his Digimon climbing it. Izzy and Tentomon were climbing up the mountain as they lost and figured they'd get a good view from the top. Of course though, they weren't having the best of times.
"Just… a little further…" Izzy says with faith.
"Man, this would be so much easier if I could fly." Tentomon then complained as they made it to a point where they could rest.
"Yeah, I think that Digivolving could also help." The boy tells him.
"I just don't understand how I can't fly up there."
"I already told you, the air pressure is too much, that's why."
Then they heard something that sounded like an angered yell coming from below them and took a look, but there was nothing in sight thanks to the fog.
"I have a feeling that yell wasn't from a human. And was very angry at that." Tentomon says.
"Then we should get back to climbing. Who knows what's down there?" Izzy then says as he got up and got back to climbing as his Digimon partner whined a bit.
After a bit more climbing they managed to reach the top and panted while sweating after such a long time. They looked around to make sure that they weren't in danger, but the fog was so thick that it was impossible to see.
Then Tentomon yelped which caused Izzy to jump a bit. "Oh, nothing. Just relieved is all." He then said.
"Why would you yelp like that?" The boy says as he got up and started to look around as his partner followed. "Huh?" He then said as he saw something on the ground. "Woah, that is huge!" He then saws as he saw something large.
"What is that?" Tentomon then asked.
"That's a pupa, but it's not supposed to be that big." The boy tells him.
"STAY AWAY!" They then hear a shout.
Suddenly they heard buzzing before a large Digimon landed in front of them. This Digimon looked purple and legless with large metal claws, yellow wings, tail with a sharp point at the end, two tendrils with spike balls on them attached to them, and a bright orange jewel in his chest.
"You are not allowed-" He began to say before he saw the two. "Wait, a second. A-are you…?" He then started to say in a bit of disbelief. "You… wouldn't happen to be the child of Knowledge would you?" He then asked.
"Uh… yeah that's me." Izzy told him as he straightened up.
"Wait a second, who are you? And… Do you happen to know what this place is?" Tentomon then asked.
"Forgive me. My name is TyrantKabuterimon. I am the guardian of this here pupa." The large Digimon explained.
"Okay, and what exactly is this pupa?" The smaller Digimon asked.
"A pupa is a type of cocoon that beetles are born in. Kinda like an egg before they emerge." Izzy told his partner. "But what's with this one? Why's it so big?"
"Well, from your world, an average sized pupa would hold one of your insects. However, this one holds a Digimon." The larger Digimon tells them. "One connected to the partner of the child of Knowledge."
"Wait, connected to me?! But, but, but… What Digimon could be connected to me?! What is connected to me that's in the-?!" Tentomon started freaking and asking all sorts of questions to the point of him being un-understandable.
"Calm down, Tentomon." Izzy says as the robotic bug stopped. "What kind of Digimon exactly?" He then asked TyrantKabuterimon.
"A Mega Level Digimon. Unlocking it will allow the ability for one to go beyond Ultimate." He told them, which widened the boy's eyes.
"What?! Are you saying that Tentomon can go Mega? I-I thought only Agumon and Gabumon could do that." He asks. "How do we achieve it?"
"Unleashing it from this pupa shall grant you access. Such a powerful stage is needed if you wish to help the Child of Miracles, as a Digimon intends to corrupt him." TyrantKabuterimon tells him.
"Davis…" Izzy muttered as he knew who it was.
"Open the pupa… and you shall achieve your new form." The Digimon then moved to the side.
With that the two looked at the pupa and looked at each other. If Davis truly was in trouble, then they couldn't just stand by and do nothing. He was a member of their group and they were going to save him like it or not.
They approached it, but before they could reach it, the ground below them began to shake and a roar was heard coming from behind. They were worried as they turned and saw something jump up high into the air before landing on the ground in front of them.
When they got a look at it, it looked like a large black knight Digimon. "Woah, I don't think we've ever seen that before." Izzy says with worry.
"Yeah, your friend seems pretty scary." Tentomon then says.
"... He is no friend of anyone." TyrantKabuterimon says before charging at the black knight. Then they clashed jousts which caused a shock wave that made the other two step back. "Awaken the Digimon! Quickly!"
"What? How are we supposed to do that?" Tentomon asked, even more confused.
"Use the key. Knowledge is the key!" The large Digimon says as he threw the knight off.
The two of them went to the pupa and examined it. "Okay… just gotta figure out how to get this to open." Izzy says as he was trying to think.
"Why don't we say good morning?" Tentomon then suggested.
"I doubt that's going to work when it's night." He told him.
They heard a clash come from behind and the dark knight was pushing Kabuterimon back. The two were trying to think quickly about what to do. The boy tried to think, he scratched his head trying to come up with something, anything.
"Man, how are we supposed to get this thing to release." He says.
They heard a crash and felt a wind blow before they looked to the side and saw TyrantKabuterimon knocked down and turning to see the knight approaching. "Well, we're going to have to help him out." Tentomon says as he flew forward.
"Hold on!" The boy says with his arm out.
"Izzy, we need to help him. He's a Digivolution of a Digimon I turn into and he's helping us turn Mega. We can't just leave him to fight alone." The bug then told them.
Then TyrantKabuterimon got up and went to clash with the knight once more. "I get that, but he's doing this so we can achieve Mega Digivolution. If we don't let him hold that Digimon, we'd waste what he went through to do this." Izzy tells him. "Come on, he's doing this for us."
Tentomon looked at the two Digimon then back to his partner, pondering what to do. He then sighed before heading back to his partner. They looked towards the pupa as the boy tried to think of a solution.
"Come on, think Izzy…" He says as before remembering something. "Knowledge is the key… Where have I heard that before?" He muttered.
The knight grabbed TyrantKabuterimon's joust before pulling him forward and punching him back. Then it started to glow and separated into a smaller version of himself and a four legged creature, which made Izzy's eyes widen.
"Wow, even after becoming smaller he's still pretty scary." Tentomon then says.
"How did he? How could he have?..." The boy was saying in confusion.
"Don't you think that now is a good time to help?" The robotic bug asked.
"Well…" He says as he watched them knock TyranKabuterimon back. "Alright, now is the time. We need to distract them, somehow." He says as he stepped forward only to feel something at his feet and look down. "My laptop? But how…? No, now's not a good time to ask questions." he just picked it up and started typing away.
"What are you trying to do, Izzy?" The small bug asked him.
"If I can make a hologram and distract those Digimon, then maybe we won't need to fight them."
"Well, maybe that could work."
Izzy was furiously typing away at his computer as sweat formed down his head. He heard a crash and saw TyrantKabuterimon having a hard time with the two Digimon. Thus making him work faster on his computer. He was sweating even more as he was still trying to get something working then his eyes widened as he found he was making progress.
"And…" He says as he clicked something and a large hologram of Tentomon appeared behind the two. "Got it!"
The two Digimon looked and saw the hologram as it was doing a mocking dance and making mocking gestures. This made them angry and they roared in anger before it ran to the edge of the cliff and kept insulting them. They charged at it and attempted to attack, but they went through it and fell down the cliff.
"Whew… thank goodness for that." Izzy says in relief before closing his computer.
"Gh… yes, I-I am grateful for your support." TyrantKabuterimon stated as he got up. "Now before they come back, quickly, unleash the Digimon from the pupa!"
"Right." The boy said as he went for the pupa.
Then he tripped a bit and stumbled as his hands landed on the pupa. Then it began to glow and he stood up before stepping back. The pupa began to morph before their eyes as they stared in amazement. Tentomon stepped forward as he felt some sort of energy being released from the glow.
Izzy and Tentomon stared in awe, before hearing a crash and roar behind them. They turned and found the two Digimon back on top of the mountain facing them, likely glaring, though hard to tell. Then they glowed and merged together to make the larger knight once again.
"How do they keep doing that?" Izzy asked, shocked. Then he remembered something Kari told him. 'Is this Digi-Fusion?'
The knight charged at them as the boy was about to open his laptop again, but before he could a bright flash covered the area. When the boy and his Digimon looked behind, their eyes widened (Izzy's anyway since Tentomon has robot eyes) at the sight. It looked identically to Kabuterimon, with a bright gold tint to his armor.
The Digimon then flew forward and charged up an attack as the knight stepped back. "Who is that Digimon?" Izzy says in amazement.
"That is the Mega Digivolution, finally unleashed from his prison." TyrantKabuterimon stated as a bright ball of light appeared in the golden Digimon's mouth. "His name, is HerculesKabtuterimon."
"Giga Blaster!" HerculesKabuterimon yelled as he fired a blast, and the moment it made contact a bright flash covered the area.
Izzy gasped as the flash had ended. But he didn't find himself on the mountain, he found himself in his bedroom. He sat up and looked around seeing the light enter through his windows. He put his hand on his head and rubbed it as Tentomon groaned and got up as well.
"Man, what a dream." The bug said as he rubbed his own head.
Then Izzy's phone went off which caught his attention. "Ugh, what is this now?" He says as he grabs the phone and sees a text from Tai. "'Head to the park for a meeting?' For what?" He was confused.
Then he heard his Digivice start beeping. He picked it up and looked at the screen, but all it did was continue to flash over and over again. He stared at it for a second then looked at the text before looking back as he figured what the meeting was for.
"What should we do Izzy?" Tentomon asked him, curious.
"Come on, time to bug out, Tentomon." The boy said as he got out of bed.
"Hey, that's my line!" The bug Digimon says, following him.
Title: Gaogamon's Confession
In the tower of the White Castle, the black armored Digimon was still lying unconscious as the others still kept guard around him in case of any threat. Cutemon was still trying to heal him but was starting to sweat, and stopped before stepping back.
"Alright, I need a break. I'm tired." He whined. "I really hope Dorulumon is okay."
"I'm worried about the others as well. Those explosions outside didn't sound anything like a good sign." Lilymon states.
Angewomon stared at the black armored Digimon and couldn't help but wonder who he was and why he was stuck in their castle in the first place. Lilymon saw her staring and got curious.
"Is there something you're thinking about?" She asked.
"Just wondering. I don't see how he could've gotten in the castle to begin with." The angel Digimon says, turning to her partner. "If he is an ally, why would they just leave him here for us to find?"
"Surely the others have been wondering that for a while as well. For all we know, I believe they left him here not expecting us to find him." Lilymon stated.
Then they all heard grunting and turned toward the black armored Digimon, seeing him begin to stir. "About time." Cutemon says as he walked over to his face.
"Ow…" He grunted as he sat himself up, eyes still closed. "Ah…" He grunted again as he held his head.
"How are you feeling?" Angewomon asks as she walked in front of him.
His eyes finally opened and he looked up, seeing the angel in front of him. When she saw his masked face, a tint of red had appeared on her face under her mask. They stared at each other for a second before one breaking the silence.
"I'm sorry but, who are you?" He asked.
"Oh, forgive me. I know this must be very surprising for you." She told him as he looked around, seeing Cutemon and Lilymon were in the room as well. "My name is Angewomon. And what would yours be?" She then asked, gaining his attention again.
Then the black armored Digimon got up and stood before her. "My name is Lowemon. Pleasure to meet you." He says while holding his hand up.
"... Cool. I'm Cutemon." Cutemon then spoke up, grabbing his attention.
"And I'm Lilymon, it's nice to meet you as well." Lilymon then introduced herself.
"Pleasure see you as well." Lowemon says to them. "If it's not too much trouble, I wish to know where I am as of now." He then asks while turning to Angewomon.
"This is the white castle. Where the Fusion Fighters reside." She told him as the mention of the name made the Digimon's eyes widen. "They're currently off dealing with the enemy, but they should be back."
"Do you really think it's the best idea to tell him that information?" Lilymon asks while standing up.
"I'm sure we can trust him. With it." The angel Digimon tells her.
"I don't know about this. We don't know if we can trust him just yet." The flower Digimon tells her.
"Hey, guys!" Cutemon calls to them as they see him by the window. "They're back. Good timing actually." He says as the two girls came to look out the window.
Lowemon got curious and made his way over. "This does seem like good timing." Lilymon says while he looked over her and saw flying Digimon carrying over groups of humans and Digimon.
When he got to see them, he saw not only the Fusion Fighters, but Team Blue Flare as well. "Come on, let's go make sure they're okay." Lilymon states as she and Cutmon left the room.
He continued to watch the two teams he had heard about and was amazed from the sight. "Are you alright?" Angewomon asked him.
He looked at her for a second, then looked back to the teams. "Yeah, just surprised is all. So that's the Fusion Fighters?" He then asked her.
"It is. Ever since they, Blue Flare and the Miracle Hunters teamed up, they've been fighting the Bagra Army." She explains to him as he looked a bit surprised.
Meanwhile, Lilymon and Cutemon had made it down from the tower and were about to great the two teams, but then spotted something that made them look shocked. MetalKabuterimon landed and BanchoLeomon got down while holding Davis, unconscious in his arms which made them worried.
MetalGreymon, dropped off, Christopher, Mikey, Nene, Ballistamon and Dorulumon. And Gaogamon, Beelzemon and Mervamon was the next to jump off MetalKabuterimon.
"Is he still out?" Mikey asks.
"Yeah, he hasn't woken up yet." BanchoLemon tells him.
"What happened?" Lilymon asks as she was worried.
"No clue. After we kicked those jerk's butts he suddenly screamed and then passed out." Shoutmon explained.
"What about everyone else?" Lilymon asks.
"Not exactly doing the best right now." Gaogamon says while walking by.
"Dorulumon!" Cutemon yelled as he jumped onto said Digimon's face. "So, are you alright? Do you need me to heal you?" He then asks.
"You don't have to worry about me. We managed to pull through." Dorulumon tells him.
"So, does that mean no one else needs healing?" The little Digimon asks.
The answers Cutemon got from them were either, 'no', 'nah', 'nope' and just a headshake. Gaogamon didn't even answer, nor moved his head to look.
"Did anything happen while we were gone?" Mikey asked.
"Well, the Digimon we've been watching is finally awake. He should be down." Lilymon tells him as they all seemed surprised.
"Alright, so where is he then? Is he working for the Bagra Army or not?" Christopher asks while not noticing Angewomon and Lowemon exiting the tower.
"He doesn't appear to be so." The flower Digimon tells him.
Then, Shoutmon saw the dark armored Digimon and stood weary. Christopher looked at him for a second before looking in his direction and gave a blank stare. Lowemon saw them stare and felt uneasy at first.
"Alright, since you're awake now. We kinda got some questions." Shoutmon says as he walked forward. "Maybe you could start with telling us why you were in this castle." He then says.
To this, Lowemon tried to think what to say. "I don't exactly know myself." He tells them, before looking at Davis' unconscious body. "Is he okay?" He asked what happened.
"That, we have no idea." Mikey tells him.
"It's bad. Pretty obvious for that matter." Gaogamon interjects, rudely.
"Hey, hey, what's with the attitude?" Veemon says in annoyance.
"It's none of your concern." The blue hound says while walking away from the group as BanchoLeomon was thinking about why he acted the way he did.
"Man, what's his problem?" Shoutmon says out of annoyance.
"Just leave him. After all we've been through, it's not hard to believe that at least one of us would be on edge." The lion man told the group.
"He's right." Mervamon spoke up as she helped Beelzemon stand. "At this point, anyone being on edge would be expected. Whatever Gaogamon is thinking, it should wait." She then states.
Then Cutemon saw how Beelzemon looked and got a little annoyed himself. "Hey, I thought you guys said the rest of ya were alright."
"Trust me, it's nothing-" The black-winged Digimon was about to say.
"It's not nothing. He's hurt and needs to be healed." Mervamon interjects in annoyance.
"Davis is gonna need some healing as well. We should head inside and get things sorted out." Mikey suggests.
"I'll get him to a bed so that he rests." BanchoLeomon says as he walks forward, holding the boy in his arms. 'Just what exactly caused you to be like this?' He then thought to himself.
Everyone then started entering the castle as BanchoLeomon stepped to the side to allow Beelzemon and Mervamon to pass. He then followed them inside while Gaogamon stood for a moment before following the lionman. The rest of the group entered the castle, and a few gathered in one of the rooms to discuss their next plan of action.
BancoLeomon on the other hand went to one of the rooms with the beds and laid Davis down on one as he stood by with Veemon next to him. "I really hope he wakes up soon." Veemon says, worried.
"I hope so as well." The lion man then says as he was also concerned.
"I just don't understand what could have happened. This kind of stuff hasn't happened in our world. I mean, the only two I'd expect to see a freak out from would probably be Kari and Ken but, I don't think they went as far as screaming their heads off and fainting." The little dragon Digimon explained.
"He did act weird in the field earlier. Then again, he was pestered with questions."
"That wouldn't have necessarily caused him to act in such a way." They heard as they turned to the entrance, seeing Gaogamon.
"Oh, great. What do you want?" Veemon says with a hint of annoyance.
"Beelzemon's is gonna be here in a little bit to rest. Figured you'd wanna know." The blue hound states.
The little Digimon was about to say something, until BanchoLeomon held his hand up, stopping him. "The last thing we need right now is more fighting amongst each other."
Veemon looked at the lion man then back towards the wolf then sighed. "Alright, but I'm still not letting him turn Davis into a chew toy." He then says bitterly.
Gaogamon only stared for a second before speaking up. "I have a feeling that I won't be allowed to speak to you alone, will I?" He then asks the lion man.
The smaller Digimon then got confused at what he meant and looked up towards said Digimon. "What's he talking about?"
"Don't worry about it. Would you mind leaving for a second?" BanchoLeomon then asked.
Veemon then had a sour expression on his face. "If it's about Davis, of course I mind. What do you guys need to talk about and be alone for? Why can it only be talked about between you two?" He then asks in annoyance.
"That's what I meant by I wouldn't get to speak with you alone. On another note, I may be annoyed but I'm not okay with my general being hurt." Gaogamon states which made the smaller Digimon a little less mad.
"Okay, but that doesn't explain why you two have to be so secretive with whatever it is you need to talk about."
"It's just personal matters. So it doesn't really concern you."
"And what? That's supposed to convince me to just leave?"
The two argued with each other before the lion man cut in. "Enough, both of you!" He says in order to stop them. "Let him stay. Doubt it's going to make much of a difference."
Davis stirred a bit in his sleep and Veemon jumped up to the bed looking at him with worry. Unfortunately, he didn't wake up and remained unconscious. BanchoLeomon sighed as Gaogamon looked away in anger and guilt. The lion man looked around the room and adjusted his cap.
"I guess we should get to talking." He then says, gaining the attention of the other two Digmon. "Gaogamon, how about you tell us what's been on your mind." He then asks.
The blue wolf just looked away, seeming hesitant before shaking his head a bit. "... Look, I'm sorry if I've seemed angry for the time we've known each other. I'm just… I'm just not very talkative and have issues with making conversation." He then states.
"It's fine. You shouldn't feel ashamed." BanchoLeomon tells him. "More or less, it takes guts just to admit it."
"I still believe it's a big deal. Despite being a member and having Digifused with most of ya, I'm not exactly one for friendly conversation." Gaogamon explained. "I personally find it annoying when MetalKabuterimon and MetalTyrannomon finish each other's sentences."
"Well, anyone would find that annoying." Veemon says trying to lighten up the mood even with a sad expression.
"Yeah, well… I'm really still used to being alone most of the time." The blue hound states.
"You're not the only one who's like that. I've actually heard that Dorulumon was a loner himself before joining the Fusion Fighters." BanchoLeomon explained.
"I would agree with you on that, but I'm pretty sure having Cutemon doesn't make him a loner." Gaogamon then stated with a bit of a grin.
*CRASH!*
Veemon jumped a bit and they saw the door wide open with Dorulumon and Cutemon on the ground. "... Though, if I had to add another reason for annoyance…" The blue wolf says as he started to look annoyed again.
"Sorry for the snooping." Dorulumon states as he got up with Cutemon on his head. "We weren't trying to listen in on your conversation."
"And you're here because?" BanchoLeomon asked out of curiosity.
"Mervamon is gonna leave Beelzemon in this room to have him rest. I was coming to drop Cutemon off so that he could help by healing him." The drill hound explained
"Well, he is in the need of healing." The lion man stated.
"Yeah, it's not like I just got done with healing another Digimon." Cutemon says sarcastically.
"Sorry again for snooping." Dorulumon stated once more.
"Don't worry about it. Though, didn't take you for the snooping type." Gaogamon stated.
"But, I've been in your shoes before. At least before I met Cutemon. Just know that you're not the only one who's experienced what you have." Dorulumon then explained.
"I can't exactly relate to you with the whole lone-wolf thing but, me and Davis have been on an adventure once before. And we have friends who are like that." Veemon then chimed in as the others in the room seemed surprised. "... What?" He then asks.
"... Ya know, this is why I didn't want you here to talk about this kind of stuff." Gaogamon said sarcastically.
"Sorry, I just wanted to contribute a bit." The small blue Digimon then apologizes.
"I have something to say." The blue hound states. "The reason why I wanted to talk is to apologize for how I was towards Davis. I just got sort of angry when he yelled at us." He apologizes. "I just got angry cause I knew he was hiding something."
"What do you guys mean by Davis yelling? Did one of you tick him off or something?" Cutemon asks, all kinds of confused.
"We don't know what happened." Veemon told him.
"I'm to blame for it. I was the first to yell at him, and look what happened because of it." Gaogamon then says in regret.
"Wow, didn't think you'd go that way." Dorulumon then says, surprised.
"So, why?" BanchoLeomon then asks as the blue wolf turned to him. "Why was Davis lying such a bit deal to you." He then asks again.
"I just have issues with liars… and bad experience with them at that." Gaogamon tells him while lowering his head in anger and sadness.
All the Digimon in the room seemed surprised by the way he told them and were now curious as to what happened to him. "I-I hope I'm not asking too much of you, but, would you mind going into detail about it?" The lion-man asked.
Gaogamon tensed up a bit when asked. He does not say anything, yet he remembers all too well what happened with him… and another wolf friend of his… well once-friend anyway.
"I… I'd rather not think about it to be honest." He says while still refusing to make eye contact.
"... I see." BanchoLeomon says, understanding.
"Okay, but I still wanna know why you yelled at Davis back at the field." Veemon then says.
"That's pretty rude ya know." Dorulumon says out of annoyance.
"Sorry, but I just want to know." The smaller Digimon states once more.
"If you wanna know why so badly, I'll tell you." Gaogamon then stated.
"You don't have to if you don't want to." BanchoLeomon tells him.
"No, I feel that it's best I get this off my chest anyways." The blue hound insisted.
As everyone knew that he was ready to tell, Cutemon got off of Dorulumon and held his paw. "Alright, you're ready we're ready to listen." The drill hound says.
"*Sigh*, as I said before, I don't like liars. I knew Davis was acting weird and that's how I knew he was lying… the reason I hate it so much is… well… saying I had bad experience is an understatement." The blue wolf started to explain. "Sure the kid may be a bit annoying at times but, other than that he's a good General and I respect him."
"Okay." Veemon says out of a bit of relief.
"But what happened to Davis is something I feared would happen and-" The wolf was about to explain before they heard the door open.
They heard a small bit of grunting as Mervamon was walking in holding Beelzemon up. She stopped when the two of them saw everyone in the room and got a bit curious as to why so many were in the room.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Mervamon asked.
"Not really." Dorulumon stated.
"Not to be rude but I might have heard everything." Beelzemon says as he's led to a bed. "I was pretending to be a part of Bagramon's army for a long time and have listened in on a few of Laylamon's conversations. You could say I have an enhanced sense of hearing." He explained.
"Okay, if anyone else is listening in on this, now's a good time to show." Veemon then says as he waited, but no one else entered the room. "Alright, just making sure."
"Sorry about the eavesdropping." Beelzemon states.
"I don't mind." Gaogamon tells him.
"Look, you don't have anything to be ashamed of. I know that feeling of being alone as well. You're not-"
"Not, the only one. I know." The blue wolf states.
"Sorry for being harsh to ya earlier… and for being annoying as well." Veemon apologizes.
"Again, it's fine. I don't hold anything against you. Besides, I still have something to explain."
"What would that be exactly?" BanchoLeomon asked.
Gaogamon was about to continue before- "I think you might wanna save it for the audience." Beelzemon interrupted him.
Everyone looked at him. "Audience?" Veemon asked, confused.
*COUGH!*
They heard a cough from outside of the room. Gaogamon walked over and used one of his scarf-hands to open the door, and just standing there was a bunch of the team. Mikey, Nene, Christopher, Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Starmon, Wisemon, Sparrowmon, Lowemon, Angewomon, Lilymon-
*THROAT CLEAR!*
And seen outside through the window was MetalKabuterimon. "Hello." He said.
"I thought I said that anyone else listening in on this needed to show up." Veemon then says.
"More importantly…" Gaogamon says with a shadow covering his eyes. "WHAT DO YOU THINK GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO EAVESDROP LIKE THIS!?" He then yelled angrily.
"Uh, well… we were actually coming to check in on Davis and… uh…" Mikey was saying nervously.
"I think ya pretty much get the gist of it. We stopped and decided to listen." Christopher continued.
"We're very sorry, Gaogamon." Nene says apologetically.
"We'd do anything to gain your trust back." Sparrowmon then says in the same tone.
"I'd shoot myself into the sky to be redeemed." Starmon also says.
"We didn't mean it. Ya see we were hatching uh… an egg." Ballistamon says nervously.
"Really? That's the best you could come up with?" Shoutmon asked.
Everyone groaned at the robo Digimon's attempt and Gaogamon looked ready to blow a fuse as his lip was twitching. But inhaled and exhaled. "You don't have to hide the fact that you were eavesdropping." He tells them.
"Still, you should all be ashamed for this. I expected you to know better than to meddle with someone else's business." BacnhoLeomon says out of annoyance.
"Also, maybe next time come up with a better excuse than that egg comment." The blue hound said looking at Ballistamon who rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"Well, it was more of a joke than an excuse… apologies though. Jokes aren't exactly my thing." The robo Digimon says while rubbing his head.
"But anyways, we all know how you feel and understand more clearly." Mikey tells him.
"And you're not the only one with a tough past." Christopher states as well.
Gaogamon looked away, not knowing how to respond to their kindness. "No matter what anyone says, we don't think less of each other no matter what." BanchoLeomon assures him.
For the first in a long time, Gaogamon felt relieved. Feeling happy that he actually had people he could look towards. In that moment, he hesitated at first, but then managed to actually smile a bit. He wants to tell them something but… he still felt hesitant.
"I believe I am needed as of now." They heard as Wisemon made his way through the crowd.
"Wait, who are you?" Veemon asks.
"That's Wisemon. Haven't you met him before?" Christopher mentioned before the small Digimon thought for a second.
"A barrier. This is a Digipower I've never seen before, this is ether to keep us out or keep something in." Wisemon spoke after he exited the Fusion Loader and examined what was keeping them from going further.
"What if it's both?" Veemon dumbly asked.
"Oh… right, hehe." He then says.
"Anyways, I'm also here to check on Davis, however I believe I have something that might help with the current predicament he's in." Wisemon states.
"Okay, we're all ears." Dorulumon states.
"I've actually been requested this by Christopher himself." The hooded Digimon stated as Mikey looked at said General, surprised. "I decided to get to inventing when asked this and have created a machine that can scan his mind and/or read it."
"Wait, really?" Mikey then asks, surprised.
"That's kinda surprising coming from you Christopher." Shoutmon also says in surprise.
"After what happened in Canyon Land, I have a pretty sneaking suspicious as to what exactly happened to Davis." The Blue general starts to explain.
The others seemed to understand, but to a few, they seemed confused. "Now behold." Wisemon then says before showing a helmet of some sort. "It may not look like much, it also hasn't been given a name yet, but it should do the trick." He states.
"Are you sure it's safe to use? Have you tested it yet?" Nene says, a little worried while the Digimon took some wired earbuds out of the helmet.
"Of course I did." He says as he quickly puts the earbuds into the unconscious boy's ears before putting the helmet on his head. "Christopher actually happened to be the first." He states.
"Wait, what?" Veemon asked. "When did that happen after all that's been going on?"
"After Davis flipped out I figured something was up. As such, I asked Wisemon if he could invent something in a short amount of time." Christopher explained.
"Wait, wait, is this gonna hurt Davis?" Veemon then asked, concerned.
"Don't worry, it won't. It is made to detect something within Davis' mind. Whatever it is, it's possible that a trace was left from it. And my brilliant machine should find it." Wisemon explained.
"You mean like someone breaking into a house to steal things only to leave behind a fingerprint that can track them?" Mikey asks.
"Pretty much." Christopher stated. "He's comparing it to who or what is affecting Davis' mind. Everyone leaves a trace without knowing it, or intentionally." He then explained.
"Exactly! And with my machine, we should find the fingerprints left behind to find out what has been affecting his mind." Wisemon stated once more. "Now I believe it's time we end our bickering." He then says as he walks over to the machine as Duskmon seems more interested than others. "Now let us begin!"
With that, Wisemon pushed a button and the helmet emitted noise while a glow came from inside it. "Now, watch as my brilliant invention does it's job." He then says while taking a step back.
To Be Continued…
Wow, okay, this did take forever to do. I haven't posted in forever I know, but I'm not dead, don't worry. Or I hope that at least there's still some of you guy's reading this. I have way too many stories to work on, and I rightfully regret having so many to work on.
I don't just work on fanfiction, I also work on Deviantart and YouTube so please understand why I'm not always gonna be online. It might take longer to get to the end of this story than I thought, but me and poseidon7 will try to get the next few chapters out, hopefully with less words.
Thank you all for reading and stay tuned.
