A/N: Hey guys! So, I just want to address that the dream part in chapter one (I don't know if this will spoil the story but yolo) that's actually a memory in a dream if that makes sense. So yeah, onwards to chapter 2!
Chapter 2: Enter Kazuki and Dracomon!
"Feed me!" demanded Dorumon, biting the back of Ryuu's head. Ryuu gritted his teeth in pain and anger. Dorumon was starting to get on his nerves.
"I will. Just wait." answered Ryuu. Dorumon didn't seem to like the answer. Letting go of Ryuu's head Dorumon backed up and tackled Ryuu hard. Ryuu yelped as he fell to the ground, face-first with his digivice in hand. Dorumon fell to the floor with him.
Ryuu groaned as he attempted to get up in spite of Dorumon's weight on his back. "Feed me!" Dorumon shouted, while squirming.
A tick mark appeared on Ryuu's forehead. Raising both of his hands, Ryuu grabbed Dorumon by the sides of his head. Dorumon made a small sound of confusion. Ryuu then suddenly flipped Dorumon over his head and onto the ground. His muscles immediately burned. Dorumon grunted as he held the back of his head.
"I don't care if you're hungry! All I care about is finding a damn way to hide you, whether it would be storing you in the fucking digivice somehow or hiding you under-fucking-ground!" Ryuu shouted in a loud and angry tone.
Dorumon had his hands over his ears now and his eyes clamped shut. He looked like a scared child and immediately made Ryuu feel guilty. Ryuu sighed as he walked over to Dorumon. He squatted down next to Dorumon and poked his belly, eliciting a giggle. Dorumon opened his eyes and looked at Ryuu, letting go of his ears.
"Sorry for that little outburst." apologized Ryuu. "I'll give you whatever you want later, but let me find a way to hide you first, I don't want you to be taken away from me, so please be patient, okay?"
Dorumon stared at Ryuu before jerking his head to the side and letting a "Hmph" escape his mouth. "Whatever, I'm not hungry anymore."
Ryuu sweat-dropped. "Suit yourself, I guess." Ryuu got up and searched for his Digivice. He found it lying on the ground and went to pick it up. He started messing with the buttons again, trying different combinations. Ryuu was facing Dorumon while he tried different combinations. He then remembered the flash that came from the back of the digivice back in his room. "Maybe that stores Dorumon... or maybe does something else. Might as well try it."
Taking a moment to remember what he did, Ryuu attempted the button combination. The digivice flashed brightly, blinding Ryuu. When the flash was gone, Ryuu noticed that Dorumon wasn't lying in front of him anymore. He looked at the screen of the digivice and found that Dorumon was inside and was looking around. Dorumon noticed Ryuu and started banging on the screen.
"Hey! It's cramped in here, let me out!" Dorumon shouted from the device, banging on the screen. Ryuu stared at Dorumon blankly, a smile slowly creeping onto his face.
"YES!" cheered Ryuu, pumping his right fist into the air. He looked at the digivice, smirking. "This just made life a thousand times easier."
"Let me out!" A loud thump from the screen interrupted Ryuu's short-lived victory.
"I can't. You're going to have to stay in there until we get home." answered Ryuu, trying his best to hide a smirk. Dorumon noticed it, but decided to stay quiet.
To get back home Ryuu entered his ninja mode. Entering his home, he noticed that his mom was asleep. He tip toed across his house toward his room, the occasionally creak growling from the floorboards in an attempt to give Ryuu a heart attack. It was weird to Ryuu. During the day, the house sounded so quiet but at night when everything is quiet, the house becomes as loud as if tiny creatures were marching around.
Slipping into his room and closing the door, Ryuu slumped onto his bed and let out a huge breath he had not noticed he was holding in. Ryuu sat up and looked at his digivice. "Okay. How am I going to get you out of there?" Ryuu asked, pressing the button combination that stores Dorumon. A bright flash came from behind but when Ryuu looked past his digivice, he saw no Dorumon.
Ryuu set the device onto the bed and crossed his arms and closed his eyes. He started brainstorming ideas. While brainstorming, he recalled that he had not heard anything from Dorumon since storing him into the digivice. He grabbed the purple device and looked at the screen, seeing Dorumon sleeping. "I guess all that fighting took a bit out of you, huh?" A smile painted itself on his lips. He looked at his digital clock and noticed that he had half an hour before the time he would usually wake up.
Ryuu set the purple device under his bed, and as if on queue he yawned. The twelve year old boy laid down and closed his eyes. He slipped into deep sleep but it felt like only a second had passed before he was awakened by his mom. "Get up! Get up! You're going to be late for school!"
Ryuu groaned as he rubbed his eyes. He felt like complete and utter horse poop. He got up and looked at the time. Certainly enough, if he didn't get his ass moving along, he would be late. He jumped to his feet and got washed up. He put on some clothes that looked a lot like the ones he had put on yesterday.
He went over to his bed and grabbed his digivice. Ryuu stared at the device, watching Dorumon who was still asleep. Contemplating whether or not he should take Dorumon, his mom popped in front of his bedroom door, startling him. "Ryuu! What are you doing?! School starts in a couple of minutes and it takes a couple of minutes to drive you there!" Ryuu tossed the device up in panic and when it landed in his hands, he started fumbling with it. He finally got a grip on it and quickly hid it behind his back.
"Sorry, mom. I'm done so..." Ryuu had lost his words as he broke into a cold sweat. His mom was staring at him, the urgency still there.
"You can take your phone, I don't care, let's go!" His mom walked in and quickly handed Ryuu a sandwich and his backpack. Ryuu took the items before he was practically dragged into the car.
Ryuu ate the sandwich as he assumed it was his breakfast. "Who eats a sandwich for breakfast?" wondered Ryuu. "Oh yeah, me."
Ryuu had finished his breakfast and stuffed his device holding Dorumon into his jacket pocket. He was dropped off shortly later. "Hell" started and for the first three periods, it was normal for Ryuu. During passing periods between third and fourth, he checked his digivice, hiding it inside his locker so no one could see. Dorumon was still asleep. "I'm starting to think you were up all night."
He stuffed the purple device into his pocket, got his books for math class, and closed his locker. He made his way toward his math class and sat down just as the bell rung.
A few minutes into the lecture, a loud talking sound started to blurt out from Ryuu's desk.. "Quiet! I'm talking." Snapped Ryuu's teacher. Ryuu apologized quickly out of instinct. When the teacher started lecturing again he checked his digivice. Ryuu recognized the voice. Dorumon was awake. He pulled out his digivice, his eyes on the teacher. He looked down when it was on his lap. He put a finger to his mouth and quietly shushed him.
"Ryuumon! I'm hungry!" Freezing, Ryuu was crying in the inside. Several laughs came from other students in the classroom.
"Excuse me, Mr. Titsume. We are in the middle of a lesson, and I will not talk over you." The teacher stated, a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice.
"Sorry." Ryuu said, an embarrassed smile slowly growing on his lips.
The teacher went back to talking and Ryuu looked down at Dorumon. "Quiet!" Ryuu whispered. "I'll feed you in twenty minutes, okay."
Dorumon didn't like that answer as he complained even more. "But I'm really~ hungry!"
"Quiet!"
"Where are we anyway?"
"School! Now quiet!"
"What's school?"
"School is the place where I learn things, now seriously, be quiet!"
"Ahem!" Ryuu froze. He slowly turned his head and saw the teacher looking down at him, standing next to his desk, a hand extended toward Ryuu. Ryuu flashed a smile and chuckled nervously. "Give me your phone."
Ryuu gritted his teeth. He slowly rose his hand that held the digivice toward the teacher's. Ryuu glared at the screen, Dorumon saw the glare and took it as a sign that he should silent. He dropped it onto the teacher's hand. The teacher gripped the device tightly and walked back to his desk. "You will get this back at the end of class." He announced, putting inside a drawer.
For the rest of class, Ryuu was praying. When the bell rung after what felt like years, Ryuu practically dashed toward his teacher. The teacher looked at Ryuu for a moment before his face lit up. He walked over to his desk and opened the drawer that contained the digivice. The teacher started talking but Ryuu wasn't paying attention. Ryuu nodded his head when he heard a yes or no question and the second the device landed in his hand, he gripped it like his life depended on it before running out of the room.
The teacher stared at the door before sighing. "The young people are too attached to their electronic devices these days. I fear for the future of humanity."
At his locker, Ryuu glared and shouted at Dorumon. Students that passed by thought he was going mad or didn't pay attention. "Because of you, I got in trouble! Not that it's a big deal, but..." Ryuu shouted, not paying attention to the students around him. "I shouldn't have brought you with me..." Ryuu finished, hanging his head down.
Dorumon had a pout on his face and was facing to the side. His eye twitching, Ryuu grabbed the digivice and closed the locker and started heading to lunch. Since Ryuu had spent some time at his locker, the halls were nearly empty.
"Ryuumon, stop!" Dorumon suddenly cried out.
Stopping, Ryuu looked around to see if anyone was in the halls. He saw no one and looked down at his digivice. Dorumon had that same urgent look back when he was Dorimon. "What is it?"
"There's another one."
"A Digimon?"
"Yeah."
"Where?"
"In this school place."
Ryuu's eyes slowly widened. "If a Digimon is in the school..." Ryuu mumbled. "Where is it!?"
"I don't know, I can barely even sniff it in this box, YOU stuffed me in!" Dorumon replied, his voice becoming a growl as the words left his mouth.
Ryuu rubbed his hair out of frustration. "Argh! I don't know how to get you out! How are we going to find the Digimon now!?" Ryuu took in a deep breath and let it out through his nose. He took a step forward and noticed the "X" on the bottom of the digivice flashed.
"It flashed, like last time. Antibody Tracker..." Ryuu thought as he remembered the words. "This thing can track Digimon."
Ryuu took another step forward and the flashing got slightly faster. Ryuu kept walking. "Ryuumon, where are you going?" Dorumon suddenly asked.
"This thing can track Digimon, and I'm guessing it activates when we get close to one." answered Ryuu. "And this thing might lead us to it."
"Why are we even trying to find it anyway?" Asked Dorumon.
"Remember how dangerous and destructive Ryudamon was?"
"Yeah."
"Well in school, there are many feeble humans for the Digimon to massacre. I don't want that to happen."
"You're stupid. You're going to die."
"Shut up!"
Ryuu walked, his eyes glued to the digivice, occasionally looking up to see if anyone was around. When the device was blinking very fast, Ryuu looked up and was greeted by a door. Ryuu may have only been at the school for two days but thanks to his photographic memory, he had memorized the entire school by looking at the map drawing that was provided at the back of his schedule. The door in front of him lead to the computer lab.
"I guess it makes sense for a Digimon to appear in the computer lab." Ryuu muttered under his breath. Ryuu's heart was pounding. He was nervous and excited. He knew how dangerous these Digimon were thanks to Dorumon and his battle with Ryudamon. If this Digimon was as strong or stronger than Ryudamon, this battle would get messy.
"Are you ready, Dorumon?" Ryuu whispered.
"No."
"Wha-! Why not!?" Ryuu shouted out of shock, he quickly slapped a hand onto his mouth when he had realized what he had done. He glanced at the door and backed up a few steps, expecting to see the door explode and a giant T-rex creature to come out of the room.
When nothing came out, Dorumon spoke, "You seem to be forgetting something, Ryuumon."
"And that is..."
"We don't know how to get me out of this little prison you have trapped me in."
"Oh yeah."
Just as Ryuu had said that, the door slammed open. Ryuu turned his head toward the door and saw a teal blur before he was smacked in the face. He yelped in pain as he started taking steps back, letting go of the digivice inadvertently. He could faintly hear Dorumon yell something through the daze. "Tail Smash!" Ryuu opened his eyes and everything was spinning. He held out both of his hands to feel for something he could lean on... and puke on.
The spinning vanished pretty fast but before he could do anything, he was tackled to the ground. The thing on top of him started jumping on him. "Take this!" Before anything else could happen, another voice told the thing on top of Ryuu to stop attacking and it did. Ryuu was quick to jump to his feet as the spinning was now gone for the most part.
"Okay, Digimon. You are so going to pay for that." Ryuu groaned. Ryuu looked at his hand that held the digivice to find it gone. "Eh... EHHHHH!" Ryuu's eyes practically popped out his skull. "Where's my digivice?!"
"Is this it?" Looking up, Ryuu became confused. In front of him, was the girl he stood up for yesterday. She held his digivice in front of him.
"Uh, um, yeah..." answered Ryuu, immediately starting to feel awkward. Ryuu took it before he remembered the Digimon he was supposed to find and defeat. "Wait, you're a Digimon."
"I don't think so, otherwise I would be a T-Rex that shoots fireballs." she replied.
"But I'm a Digimon!" A dragon-like creature said, popping out of seemingly nowhere, startling Ryuu.
"Ah, Digimon!" Ryuu, out of instinct went and kicked it.
"Ow!" the dragon-like Digimon squealed as it fell onto it's back. It held the front of it's face where Ryuu had apparently kicked it.
"Dracomon!" The girl said in worry and she got to her knees to pick the dragon Digimon up.
"Uh, sorry, instinct... yeah, instinct." Ryuu apologized, letting a small nervous chuckle while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Apology accepted! Right, Dracomon?" the girl said with a bright smile, holding the dragon Digimon in her arms.
"I guess..." Dracomon replied with a pout.
Ryuu analyzed the Digimon now that he had a clear view of it. It had teal scales with white scales on it's lower jaw and torso. Three claws were attached to both of it's arms and legs. It had fairly long tail and tiny red wings. On the top of it's head, red coral-like horns rested.
"She took that better than I thought she would..." Ryuu muttered, sweat-dropping.
"Anyway, you have a digivice so I'm guessing you have a partner of your own right?"
"Yeah."
"Can I see it?"
"Uh, s-sure."
Ryuu held his digivice in front of her. She leaned forward to look at the screen. Inside she saw Dorumon staring back at her. Dorumon seemed very pissed but was trying his best to hide it.
"Why is it inside the Digivice? It seems pissed. You should let it out."
"I... don't know how to..."
"Oh, you just hold it out and say "Realize!"
Ryuu looked at her puzzlingly. "That's it?"
She answered with a nod. Ryuu held out the device in front of him and said, "Realize!" The glass shone brightly as streams of data appeared in front of it. They slowly vanished, revealing Dorumon.
"Oh, hey! It worked! Thanks!" Ryuu said. A tick mark appeared on Dorumon's forehead. He slowly turned and head-butted Ryuu stomach. Ryuu coughed as he fell to his knees. "Okay... I guess I deserved that..."
"Ah! Are you alright?" Ryuu glanced at the girl who had appeared by his side in a blink of an eye. It sort of amazed Ryuu of how fast she was to react to pain.
"Yeah." Ryuu replied, getting to his feet. "So, what were you doing in the room?"
"We were planning to surprise attack an enemy Digimon that the Antibody Tracker on my Digivice picked up but we found out it was you and your Digimon. Sorry!" she answered, apologizing again.
"You don't have to apologize twice..." mumbled Ryuu.
"Well, now that I know there isn't a dangerous creature waiting to rip out people's anus' and feed it to them, I can now go to lunch! See you later!" The girl suddenly exclaimed.
"Where did that come from!?" Ryuu shouted upon hearing it. He noticed the girl starting to walk away while pulling out a teal device. He remembered that he still didn't know her name. "Wait!"
The girl stopped and looked at Ryuu. "Um... What's your name?"
The girl didn't respond for a moment before smiling. "That right! I didn't introduce myself the last time we met. Well I'm Naomi Kazuki, but you can call me Kazuki and this is Dracomon. It's not Dragomon, it's Dracomon. I know it's kind of hard to remember but-"
"You're starting to ramble again." Dracomon pointed out.
"Ah, sorry!" Kazuki apologized once again.
"I can see why that bully said to shut your trap now..." Ryuu mumbled under his breath with a sweat-drop.
"That's not nice!" Kazuki shouted with a slight pout.
"She heard me!" Ryuu thought.
At that moment, Dracomon spotted Dorumon's gem that sat on the top of his forehead. Dracomon started walking over to Dorumon. Dorumon stared at Dracomon blankly. Dracomon stood in front of Dorumon and slowly raised a claw and lightly tapped the gem. He kept his claw touching the gem. They stared at each other. Ryuu thought Dorumon was going to drown Dracomon in a sea of metal balls. Instead, Dorumon grabbed Dracomon's arm and moved it to the side. Dracomon rose his claw up and touched the gem again. "Can I eat this?"
"No." answered Dorumon.
"Please."
"Go eat a tree."
"Don't want to."
"Go eat glass."
"Glass tastes weird."
"Okay, this is getting weird." interrupted Ryuu, grabbing Dorumon. Kazuki went and grabbed Dracomon.
"Hey, after school, let's meet up!" Kazuki exclaimed. Ryuu looked around to see if anyone was around, thankfully no one was. He was surprised no one came down here thinking there was a banshee.
"Uh, yeah, sure, but where?"
"You know that park that's in the middle of town?"
Ryuu remembered the fight that happened between Dorumon and Ryudamon. "Yeah." replied Ryuu, cracking a smile.
"We'll meet up there!"
"Okay."
"Great, well see ya!"
"I have to save the world with her..." sighed Ryuu, hanging his head down. "Hopefully the other one isn't as crazy as her... and not across the world."
"Ryuumon, I'm hungry." Ryuu glanced at Dorumon. "Ryuumon, feed me."
"Yeah, yeah." Ryuu answered.
*Munch* *Crunch* *Gulp*
"How can you eat so fast!?" Ryuu gasped.
"I'm tired, going to sleep." Dorumon announced, laying down and going to sleep. Not a second later, Dorumon was snoring.
"You didn't do anything today!" Ryuu shouted out of anger. Ryuu sighed as he decided to store Dorumon into his Digivice. "Might as well keep you in here without you shouting at me to let you out."
Ryuu had gotten lunch for Dorumon, only keeping a bag of chips for himself. They hid in the hall, where no one was. The second Ryuu had stored Dorumon, the bell rang. Ryuu got up and headed to his fifth hour class. The rest of the day went on and after school, Ryuu met up with Kazuki at the park. He had to tell his mom to drive him there though.
"Hey Kazu-"
"Not now!" exclaimed Kazuki, slapping Ryuu's wrist and grabbing it into an iron grip. "People will hear us, let's go to my secret hideout!"
"I thought girls thought hideouts were- Woah!" started Ryuu before Kazuki broke off into a sprint, catching Ryuu off guard. Ryuu almost fell but caught his balance and started running at the same speed.
Kazuki lead Ryuu through the park and into a small clearing between bushes and trees that mostly covered up the tiny clearing inside. To say the least, Ryuu was not impressed. She just lead him into a small clearing between bushes and trees that hid them from the outside and called it her "hideout."
"Kazuki, I don't think you know what a hide-"
"Welcome to my super cool, amazing, awesome, hideout!" announced Kazuki, in a loud voice.
"You're too loud." said Ryuu in a slightly shocked and deadpanned voice.
"Sorry."
"So..." Ryuu said, dragging his voice. "I should've thought about what we should discuss first."
"Let's ask our Digimon some questions like where they come from!" suggested Kazuki, already taking out her digivice.
"I swear, she did not act like this yesterday. It's like her personality took a 180." thought Ryuu.
"Realize!" shouted Kazuki, startling Ryuu.
The glass on the back of her digivice glowed as streams of data whirled around in front of her. The data slowly vanished revealing Dracomon. Ryuu did the same. Immediately, Dracomon was going for Dorumon's gem. Dorumon, however, was sharper than he looked. Dorumon shot a small piece of metal into Dracomon's face, stopping him. Dracomon fell onto his back upon impact, nursing his face with his hands. Ryuu swore he blinked for a split second and Kazuki was by Dracomon's side.
Ryuu crouched down to Dorumon's height. Dorumon stared at Ryuu. Before Ryuu could say anything though, Kazuki opened her mouth before Ryuu did.
"You!" Dorumon turned his attention to Kazuki who was pointing at him. "It's not nice to hurt other creatures! If you want someone to stop bugging you, you ask the to stop politely, not smack them until you've crushed all of their bones and they're a bloody corpse!"
Dorumon didn't respond and Ryuu was still in shock about the gruesome image she had put in his mind. "You're lame." Dorumon responded before yawning. Kazuki's mouth dropped open. "And boring." A vein popped up on Kazuki's forehead. "And absolutely annoying." Kazuki's left eye twitched.
"You immature brat!" Kazuki suddenly exclaimed, grabbing hold of Dorumon's neck and choking the life out of him.
"Immature... Speak for yourself." Ryuu muttered with a sweat-drop.
Kazuki let go of Dorumon when she noticed he wasn't moving. The second Dorumon was free, he scrambled behind Ryuu while taking in gulps of air. "She's scary, protect me Ryuumon!"
"I'm not your shield!" shouted Ryuu.
"Now that the problem is solved, let's get back to business!" Kazuki said, sitting down.
"You're the problem!" shouted Ryuu.
"So Dracomon, Dorumon, where do you guys come from?" asked Kazuki, ignoring Ryuu.
"The Digital World!" answered Dracomon.
"What he said." Dorumon got back up, Ryuu could feel him shaking.
"And where is that?"
"The place where we were created. The Digital World comes from your world's communication network." Dracomon explained.
"Okay! Second question, why are you guys here?"
Dracomon looked at Dorumon. Dorumon shrugged. It was clear they didn't have the slightest clue as to why they were here.
"We don't know why. All I remember is seeing a white light and hearing voices." answered Dracomon.
"And that we are your partners." added Dorumon. Ryuu could feel Dorumon had calmed down.
"Okay third question, what-" Kazuki didn't finish asking questions. Why? Because of the loud roar coming from outside of the "hideout."
"A Digimon?!" gasped Ryuu, immediately running out of the "hideout." Kazuki and the two Digimon followed.
Outside, there was indeed a Digimon. It looked like a giant ape. It had yellow fur with blue skin exposed from its torso, hands, feet, ears, and face. It had a giant bone strapped to its back by a red rope. It also has a green armband and a yellow ring that it wore on his right arm and hand.
Ryuu quickly looked around. No one was around, which Ryuu found surprising, and he knew no one saw it earlier as they would have screamed or yelled. Ryuu thought it was weird that when it came to Digimon, it seemed like no one was ever around to witness it. Ryuu then looked down at his Digivice. A thought popped into his mind. "Why didn't the tracker activate?" asked Ryuu out-loud.
"You're a dummy, Ryuu." replied Kazuki. "It activates around Digimon that carry the Antibody X."
"And how do you know that?"
"The name."
"You make that assumption because of the- *sigh* I'm dumb."
"Metal Cannon!" Dorumon shouted, shooting a giant metal ball at the Digimon. The ape-like Digimon spotted it and jumped to the side, avoiding the ball. Ryuu studied the creature. It's eyes seemed to glow red like the last one. Scanning it's body quickly Ryuu found what he was looking was on his chest, but it looked like a spec of dirt.
"Dracomon, get him!" shouted Kazuki.
"Right! Baby Breath!" Dracomon responded, shooting a scorching breath attack. Once again, the ape-like Digimon dodged. It seemed pissed.
"It's fast." commented Ryuu, gritting his teeth.
"Scanning... Please hurry up!" muttered Kazuki, looking down on her Digivice.
Ryuu did the same. When the data appeared, Ryuu read it as fast as he could. "Apemon, Beast man Digimon, Champion, Attacks: Dohatsuten, Nyoi Bone, and Maen Moubakuken. It is fast and strong, and can get angry easily. The ring on it's finger is made of blah, blah, blah. No useful information."
"Champion!" gasped Kazuki.
"What does that mean?" asked Ryuu.
"It's the level above Rookie!"
"Dorumon and Dracomon are Rookies and if champion is the level above... Oh no. Wait, how do you know that?"
"Through that mode that tells you the basic things about Digimon."
"There's a mode for that!"
"Yeah. You just press the right button four times before pressing the middle."
"How much does she know about this thing?!" wondered Ryuu.
"Baby Breath!" The burning breath attack made it's way toward Apemon once again. Apemon dodged again but it had seemed that Dorumon and Dracomon had made a plan. Dorumon had dashed behind Apemon while he was dodging the fire attack.
Dorumon dashed toward the ape-like Digimon. When Dorumon got close, he jumped up as he coughed up a giant metal ball. Before he could slam it down on Apemon's head though, Apemon reacted. "Dohatsuten!" The spikes on Apemon's back that Ryuu and Kazuki thought were just hair, shot out striking Dorumon as he shouted in pain..
"Crap, they're actual spikes!" Ryuu shouted in alarm.
Ryuu glanced at Kazuki for a split second and could see her getting ready to dash to Dorumon's aid. Ryuu grabbed her arm tightly to prevent her from going anywhere. "He's fine and will be fine, but you on the other hand won't if you go out there!"
Kazuki stopped. "Right... Forgot, these are tough Digimon and not weak humans... They don't bleed..." Ryuu found what she said weird, but brushed it off given her history of saying weird things.
"Nyoi Bone!" Ryuu and Kazuki turned their attention back at the fighting Digimon. Apemon was gripping the bone, that was originally on his back, in his right hand. He swung it down and Ryuu saw Apemon's target, Dorumon. The bone struck the purple Digimon hard. Dorumon cried out in pain.
This time, Ryuu was about to run to Dorumon's aid but Kazuki stopped him. "I can repeat what you told me if you want me too." Ryuu glanced at Kazuki and gritted his teeth.
Apemon's kept slamming it's bone down hard on Dorumon. It hit his gem and that gained Dracomon's attention. "Don't hit my gem!" Dracomon roared lowering his front body down a bit. He charged toward the ape Digimon while shooting four streams of fire. Apemon was forced to stop his assault on Dorumon to move out of the way.
Ryuu found it. The same black skull mark that was on Ryudamon was now on Apemon's right collarbone. "How did I not see that until now?" Ryuu asked himself. "Anyway, I have to tell the Digimon to attack it." Ryuu did just that.
Dorumon was slowly rising to his feet, but was having trouble, considering he took god knows how many hits. "I'm going... to kill that monkey... You can forget about breaking the... mark..." Dorumon said with a chuckle. Ryuu hoped he was joking.
Dorumon started dashing around Apemon, trapping him in an invisible circle. He started started coughing up metal balls and shot them at the ape Digimon. The ape Digimon alternated between dodging the balls or smacking them back with the giant bone. Ryuu was scared Dorumon would collapse collapse. Dracomon came to Dorumon's aid shooting fireballs to complement Dorumon's mental balls. Since both Digimon were opposite from each other, their attacks came from both sides. They had trapped Apemon, but Apemon continued to evade and deflect the attacks.
"This might work. Apemon can't keep defending and dodging forever, he's going to start getting sluggish sooner or later." Ryuu thought, a smile creeping onto his face. When things seemed to be going their way, it was shattered by a loud roar. Apemon started charging toward Dracomon in a zig-zag pattern, dodging the flames as he came closer.
When he got close enough, he swung his club and smacked Dracomon hard across the face, rocketing him to the side. Dracomon landed on the ground hard, creating a small crater appeared beneath the teal dragon.
Dorumon turned on his heels and started charging toward Apemon while his back was turned towards Dracomon. Ryuu saw Apemon's eyes glance behind him for a split second. Before Ryuu could react, Dorumon smacked into Apemon's back. "Dash Metal!"
Apemon was falling over slower than he should've have fallen. The hairs on his back spiked up. "Dohatsuten!" Dorumon yelled out in pain as the spikey hairs pierced his body.
"Crap! They can't win as they are right now. They need to digivolve again!" Ryuu suddenly yelled. He smacked the top of his Digivice. "Digisoul Charge!" Nothing happened. Ryuu tried again. "Digisoul Charge! Digisoul Charge! Ugh, come on, work!"
"You're going to break your Digivice." Kazuki warned. Ryuu stopped. That was the last thing he wanted.
Ryuu closed his eyes. He had to come up with a plan. "Apemon is agile, big, and strong. He seems to have sharpened senses. What can we do to at least get a hit in? We tried to trap it but that failed. We need speed, a lot of speed. Dorumon is probably the fastest out of the two. No, what we need is camouflage. Like that smoke that was generated back in the fight with Ryudamon. Dracomon can shot fire but that's not what we need, we need explosions. Can he make explosions?"
"Dracomon, come here!" Ryuu opened his eyes. He saw Dorumon get smacked in the chest by the bone. Dracomon was coming over to Kazuki.
"What are you doing?" asked Ryuu.
"You might want to step back." warned Kazuki. Ryuu didn't hesitate to do as he was told. Dracomon had it's back to Kazuki. Kazuki slowly tapped a scale that was in between Dracomon's horns. He then shivered violently. Kazuki turned and hightailed it a good 12 feet.
"What the heck is Dracomon going to do that makes go that far back?" Ryuu muttered as he looked at Dracomon and jumped. There were countless numbers of tick marks around Dracomon's head. He was trembling and Ryuu knew this was the kind of trembling you get when you're mad, EXTREMELY mad. The coral-like horns were glowing brightly. Dracomon suddenly opened his mouth, Ryuu could see something bright blue starting to emerge. "A beam! He's going to shoot a beam!"
Ryuu was thankful he was a quick thinker. He probably got it from his dad. It was a 50-50% chance that this beam would explode upon impact. He had to take the chance, it's not like he was going to lose anything if it just melted the objects it comes in contact with. "Dorumon! Shoot an metal ball in front of the blue beam coming out of Dracomon's mouth!"
"What blue beam?" asked Dorumon.
"The one about to shoot out of Dracomon's mouth!
"I don't see a blue beam coming out of his mouth."
"You will soon!"
"How soon?"
"Just shoot one when you see it!"
"Okay!"
Dorumon coughed up a metal ball and got ready. Ryuu thought everything was going to go well, but of course, Apemon had to intercept. Apemon smacked Dorumon with his bone again, flinging Dorumon back. The metal ball falling out of Dorumon's mouth. Ryuu was now in panic mode. He quickly looked at Dracomon, he knew he was about to fire. Ryuu grabbed a rock and flung it. Thankfully it hit Apemon on top of the head, gaining it's attention.
Dorumon was quick to recover and jumped to it's feet. It coughed up a metal ball and at that second, Dracomon fired a powerful blue beam. "G Shurunen!" Ryuu could feel extreme heat coming off it and he was thankful he was quite a ways away from Dracomon. Dorumon quickly shot the metal ball toward the beam, intercepting it just before it could reach Apemon for him to dodge. "Metal Cannon!" Thankfully, it exploded. Ryuu quickly did a fist pump. The explosion smacked into Apemon, catching him off guard as black smoke engulfed him.
"Dorumon! Use the smoke as camouflage!" Ryuu shouted. Dorumon nodded and jumped in.
Dorumon looked around but only saw black. "How am I supposed to see?!" Dorumon asked in his mind. A loud roar came to his right. "Oh, I get it."
Dorumon shot a metal ball toward where he last heard the roar. He heard a grunt and then charged toward that spot. Ryuu saw Apemon stumble out of the smoke and a metal ball falling from the back of it's head. A second later, Dorumon jumped out and slammed a metal ball on top of Apemon's head. This caused the yellow Digimon to drop his bone weapon.
Dracomon appeared in Ryuu's sight, running toward the ape Digimon. He didn't seem pissed anymore. "That's one way to relieve stress, I guess... Hey, that rhymed." Ryuu mused.
"Baby Breath!" Dracomon shouted, firing a stream of scorching fire. The fire struck Apemon, causing him to roar out in pain.
Dorumon tackled Apemon, causing him to start falling forward. Dracomon smacked it with his tail causing him to start falling backwards. This happened for a while longer. Every time Dracomon attacked, he hit the skull mark, causing it to crack slightly. Ryuu watched them, they looked like little devils messing with their prey.
Apemon roared as Dracomon jumped up and spun, his tail going in to attack the mark that was almost complete cracked. Apemon blocked the attack by grabbing the tail and gripping it tightly. Causing Dracomon to yelp in pain.
"Dracomon!" Kazuki called out in alarm. Ryuu jumped as he did not know she was standing next to him.
Dorumon went to tackle Apemon was more but this time, he swung Dracomon and hit Dorumon with the teal dragon. The ape Digimon let go of Dracomon as Dorumon was sent flying, sending both of them flying back.
"No!" Ryuu shouted in frustration. "We needed one more hit and the mark would've shattered!"
Apemon charged toward Dracomon and Dorumon. He jumped and cocked it's fist back. Dracomon and Dorumon moved out of the way just in time. Apemon struck the ground with his fist, causing a sizeable crater underneath him. "Maen Moubakuken!"
Dorumon and Dracomon went to attack again. Dorumon jumped up and coughed up a metal ball. Dracomon looked intent on slamming its tail on Apemon's back. "Dohatsuten!" Spikes shot out, piercing both Digimon at once.
The two Digimon laid there. "Why aren't they moving?" asked Ryuu mentally. "Don't tell me they hit their limit with that one attack. Dracomon didn't even get hit that many times either!"
Apemon turned toward the two Digimon and cocked back its fist. Just before it did anything else, something small stabbed it on the mark. The mark cracked into different pieces and then evaporated into nothing. "Gear Stinger." Apemon fell to his knees, before falling with a thump.
"Huh." Ryuu croaked in confusion. He cleared his throat. He quickly looked at Kazuki to see that she had the same puzzled look. Ryuu looked around and he saw the person and creature that got the last hit off. They both stood behind them. It was a boy around Ryuu's age and what looked like a giant bee.
"Hey! You! Who are you and thanks!?" Kazuki shouted.
"Do one thing at a time." Ryuu muttered.
The boy pulled out a digivice and pointed it at the giant bee. A bright flash, flashed and the bee wasn't there anymore. He turned and started walking away. No words were said.
"It's not nice to ignore people!" Kazuki shouted. She received no answer. "Can you hear me? Hey! Jerk!"
Ryuu watched him walk away. "Great. It's one of those people."
The mysterious boy rounded a corner and vanished. Ryuu turned toward Dorumon and Dracomon and ran over to them. He held Dorumon in his arms. "Are you okay?"
He received no answer. Ryuu however was not dumb. He poked Dorumon's belly and a small giggle escaped his mouth. Dorumon opened his eyes and mouth to speak, but before anything could come out, Ryuu jabbed Dorumon's belly hard many times. Dorumon's eyes practically bulged out of his head. "I'M NO IDIOT! IF YOU DIED, YOU WOULD DISAPPEAR, SO DON'T PULL ANY OF THAT SHIT!"
"Language." Kazuki said, holding Dracomon in her arms.
Ryuu glared at Kazuki in annoyance. Dorumon was staring at Ryuu like he was about to get butchered by him. Ryuu just smiled. Dorumon's eyes rolled into the back of his head. Ryuu was quite surprised to say the least. "Am I really that scary?" Ryuu muttered.
Ryuu and Kazuki heard a groan come from Apemon. They looked up in alarm. He sat up and looked at them. "Huh, humans. Since when were there humans in the Digital World." His gaze went to the holes in the ground. "Oh no. Did I create those?" His eyes widened in realization. "Wait, I'm not in the Digital World! I'm in the Human World."
He turned his attention back at Ryuu and Kazuki. "I'm so sorry for the damage I caused! I-I wasn't feeling very well today! Please forgive me!"
"It's fine." Ryuu said. "But can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, It's the least I can do!" replied Apemon.
"You had a black mark on your collarbone and I think that's what made you go crazy. Do you know how you got it?" Ryuu asked. Apemon's hairy face seemed to go pale.
"The "Black Duo." They're the ones who did it!"
"The "Black Duo?"
"They are extremely dangerous Digimon. Even though they are only champion level and there are only two of them, they have a fearsome device."
"And I'm guessing this device makes those marks... All right... Do you know anything else?"
"No. Unfortunately, I do not, except that Digimon that have that mark are under their control."
"That's scary... Alright. Thanks for the info!"
"No problem! I have to go now. Sorry for the damage I caused and thank you for stopping me!" Apemon said, before picking his bone weapon up and slamming the ground with it. A crack opened up and Apemon jumped in. It closed up and the two kids and Digimon were alone.
Ryuu had a lot to think about now but before he could Dracomon spoke up.
"Kazuki, why did you touch my Gekirin Scale? You know I hate it when people touch that scale!" Dracomon asked, pouting.
"Sorry. I just needed the firepower that you provide in that attack you use when you're pissed." Kazuki replied.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me." said Ryuu, gaining Kazuki and Dracomon's attention. "What the hell was that G Shuriken or whatever it's called!?"
"Oh, well Dracomon has this scale called the Gekirin Scale and every time I or something touches it, Dracomon gets extremely pissed and loses himself... and fires that blue beam. We were lucky because last time Dracomon shot seven of those!" Kazuki explained, with a smile that unsettled Ryuu.
"Wait, so there was a chance you could've blown up the park!" shouted Ryuu.
"Yeah." Kazuki answered. "Well it's getting late. I'm going to go home. See ya later!"
"It's 4:36! The sun's not even setting yet! How is it late?!"
Kazuki responded with a wave before storing Dracomon into her Digivice. Ryuu felt tempted to shout some more. Instead he sighed and sat down on a bench that was a couple feet away from him. "I have so much to think about. The marks, the "Black Duo ," who sent the messages, that guy with the bee creature, the digivices..." Ryuu sighed again and Dorumon sat next to Ryuu and bit his head. Ryuu glanced at Dorumon. "You woke up fast... AND STOP BITING MY HEAD!"
A/N: Chapter 2 done! Yes! Now some things to clear up. I know Dracomon is not a carrier of the Antibody X but do you guys think you can let that pass. If it bugs you guys I can change Kazuki's partner. Oh yeah, what do you guys think of Kazuki? Um about the "Black Duo," I hope it doesn't offend the readers that have dark skin. Also they do play a role in the story's main problem. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as there are more to come. Well I'm going to go binge watch Food Wars, bye!
