Yeah. After seeing the debut of GulusGammamon. I became inspired to write this and yes, the movie Venom further inspired this fics existence.
Floating high above the streets and a few of the buildings is humanoid figure with black and purple skin, white eyes with black sclera, and a grey face. They have a thin torso with visible ribs, and a red bipyramidal gem engraved on it. The figure's hands only sport three digits with red claws while its feet have four digits with golden claws. The tail has a golden harpoon-like tip. Lastly tied around their neck by a black belt with a metallic grey buckle is a blue cape that is bellowing in the wind. This figure is a Digimon and his name is GulusGammamon.
GulusGammamon scanned the city below him for any late-night prey. Doesn't matter if they prey be either Digimon or human. The digital monster's hands are just itching to have them wrapped around any living things neck. Just then, as if some unseen force heard his request. GulusGammamon with his much better hearing, heard a cry for help coming from the park that's about two miles away. He looks to his right and can see the large foliage of trees. A sinister smile spreads across his face. "Finally. Time to have some fun."
In the park, two young adult females are stepping back in fear from an older man holding a knife in his right hand. "Alright ladies. Handover your purses and none of you will have to get a face lift from me." He said in a wicked voice with an equally wicked smile. The girls didn't say anything, they just continued to step back till their backs were literally pressed against the wall of a public restroom.
Seeing they weren't doing what he told them to do. He holds up the knife to his face and with the pointed tip. He lightly presses it at the middle of his forehead and then trails it at the edge till he made a full circle around his face. "Trust me. The last person I did this to barely resembled a human."
"I'm guessing the first time you tried it was on yourself. Which might explain your own ugly face." Suddenly said a new voice. All three humans looked around to find the person the voice belong to. But no matter where they looked, they couldn't see anyone. That is until the man looked upwards and sees a strange sight.
Floating several feet above him and staring down at him appeared to be a A.I. hologram of a bipedal dinosaur. "Is that some sort of hologram?" Asked one of the women. "If it is, it's one I never seen before. But did it insult the man seconds ago? I never heard a hologram have a realistic quip at the ready like that." Said the other female. Clearly puzzled by GulusGammamon.
Before the man could voice his own opinion. The hologram vanishes from his line of sight. He was caught off guard by it that he wasn't prepared for a sudden tight grip around his neck. The man's eyes bulged and with his other hand he grabs onto whatever that's crushing his windpipe. Preventing sweet air from going into his lungs.
With a struggle he tilts his head downwards a little and sees it's the hologram that has him by the throat. "I have to say. A mugging in the park is very old school but a massive cliche. However, I guess it's better than it being an alley. That's a cliche that is on life support." Said GulusGammamon. The man struggled to speak, only letting out gags and grunts. The sounds made the Digimon smile sadistically.
Remembering the other two women. He slightly peers over his shoulder to look at them. They were a little fearful of the fact he directly acknowledged them for the first time since he showed up "You two better get out of here. It's not going to be a pretty sight for what I have planned for him."
A bit hesitant, the pair run towards the nearby exit of the park. While watching them leave, the Digimon couldn't see the man had his knife pointed at him. What happened next was pretty fast. One moment GulusGammamon is watching the humans leave, then the next he feels something sharp entering into his side.
Slowly he looks to where the pain originated from and sees the knife's blade embedded into his body. The man is able to smile at what he did. He expected the thing to let go of him and tend to the stab wound. Granting him the chance to escape. However instead of wallowing in pain or anything of the like. The creature starts to laugh. "Hahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The laugh was a wicked cackle that caused the mugger to have a chill run down his spine.
After a few seconds of the mad laughter. The Digimon calms down, "Well now. Since you showed me yours, let me show you mine." Lifting his tail up, he shows the harpoon tip to the man. The sight causes him to go even more wide eyed and struggle even harder to get free. Seeing his prey like this makes GulusGammamon's grin even wider. In a quick movement the harpoon tip went into the side of the man. Making him stop moving. As much as he wants to, he in God's name could not scream out in the bloody murder.
The pain was far greater than he could ever imagine. Blood started to drip onto the ground from the stab wound and some of it was coming out of his mouth. Making him gurgle and choke. Pulling the human closer to his face, the digital monster says. "I wish I could stay here and watch you slowly die, but I have places to be."
Pulling his tail out from the man. He then raises it so that it's being pointed at the man's face. "You're going to be my first human I've tried this on. Sorry if you don't resemble one when I'm finished." Then the tail comes at the man.
A minute later GulusGammamon is at the park's pond cleaning his tail from the human blood staining it. He longed pulled the knife out of him and tossed it to the side. Once fully cleaned he takes to the air and flies off towards the North direction. After a couple seconds of high-speed flying, he reached his destination. Below him is a McDonalds fast-food restaurant.
Lowering himself till his feet touched the sidewalk. He walks towards the building and pulls the door open. Entering inside, he notices how empty it is of costumers. Though that is to be expected. It is pretty late in the night and the restaurant is going to close in the next thirty minutes.
Turning his head in the direction of the front counter. He smiles when seeing a large McDonalds bag and a large chocolate milkshake resting on said counter. On the bag written in bold letters by a black marker are the Japanese characters for GG. Walking up to the items, he grabs them in each hand and heads for a secluded area of the building where he's completely out of sight from the windows and by extension the people walking by.
Sitting down at a corner booth. The Digimon opens the bag and reaches inside of it, only to then pull out two big cheeseburgers and a large box of fries. The sight and smells of the food makes him lick his lips. Grabbing the first burger, he lifts it towards his mouth and takes a bite out of it.
GulusGammamon's tastebuds danced at the rich flavor of the burger. Despite his low opinion of humans. One thing he can give them credit for is making good food to eat. The second being the chocolate and the many ways humans have used it to make a vast combination of different kinds of other foods. Speaking of which, the Digimon grabs the milkshake and sips on the straw.
The cold ice cream entering into his mouth was like heaven. And that's a comparison he would've never made in the past. Just as he was about to take another bite of his burger. "Hello Gulus." Said a young female's voice.
Sitting across from him is a human teenage girl with long brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing the McDonalds uniform. Annoyed by being called that, "I told you before Hana, it's GulusGammamon!" The newly named Hana amusingly smirks, "I know. But seeing you get annoyed by the nickname is always fun to watch. Besides, saying your whole name is such a hassle. Do all of you Digimon have long names?"
Not answering the question, he instead asks the girl his own. "What are you doing here Hana? Shouldn't you be on your shift?" Hana reaches over and takes a few fries from the box. Which gets the dinosaur-like Digimon to bare his sharp teeth at her. "You know it gets dead during this time. Not much to do other than wait to clock-out and the night manager won't care. He's almost never here to monitor us." After answering the question, she eats her 'borrowed' fries. To which GulusGammamon discreetly pulled the rest towards him.
A few seconds of chewing up the fries and then swallowing them. She says in a soft voice. "Plus. There's nothing wrong with two friends talking to each other." Quickly he corrects that by saying they're not friends and what's between them is just business. Rolling her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. You protect our restaurant from thugs who want to rob us, and we supply you with free food. But come on. It's been two months since our first meeting. You can't possibly still see me as nothing other than a friend at this point. I'm the only person who talks to you. At least as far as I know."
GulusGammamon didn't say anything to that. He just stared at her for a bit till resuming to eat his food. Few words were exchanged between them till Hana's shift ended. The pair exit through the back of the building and walk across the small parking lot till reaching a car. Using her key to unlock the vehicle, she opens the driver side door but doesn't get inside yet.
Instead, Hana turns to face the Digimon. "Thank you for walking with me to my car." She said with a soft smile. "It's also a part of our deal." He stated factually. "One can never know when a lurker might be nearby."
"Can't argue with that. But I still very much appreciate it." The duo stood there in silence for a bit till Hana spoke again. "You know? My offer still stands by the way. You don't have to live in that... Ok I truthfully don't where you live and I'm assuming it's not the greatest. But my apartment is still big enough for both of us."
"And you know my answer is still going to be no. I prefer to be alone." GulusGammamon replied. Arms crossed over his chest. "You'll change your mind. It's only a matter of time." What Hana did next completely stuns the mighty Digimon. She gives him a kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight GulusGammamon. See you later." Hana gets in her car, starts it, and finally drives onto the road.
When out of his sight, GulusGammamon shakes his head to gain his senses. "Stupid girl." He muttered under his breath. Unaware that his cheeks a blushing. After a minute of flying the Digimon makes it to his home. A rundown factory that was left abandon years ago. It's located in the industrial section of the city, so he doesn't have to worry about nosey humans going inside of it and bothering him.
Entering inside his bedroom, (originally it was the manager's office. But he threw out the unneeded desk and cabinet shelfs and put in an old bed mattress to sleep on.) he removes his cape and throws it onto a nearby chair. Next, he lies down on the mattress, lying flat on his back, eyes staring up at the ceiling. In his mind, what Hana said to him repeats itself. While the offer is tempting, he knew it was for the best that he and her should keep their distance from each other. While he doesn't harm the innocent, at least not on purpose, he's far from being a saint. Hana shouldn't be near someone like him, for too long that is. Letting out a sigh, GulusGammamon rolls onto his side and closes his eyes. Sleep taking him.
Nope. This is a one-shot story. Sorry.
