Chapter four 'Volcanic'
"So how was your new year's Amber?" Kate asked glancing at the brunette tamer as they were working away trying to fix the stage, moving a wall into place.
"Just about the usual. Stayed up late on Friday night to watch the ball drop, went to sleep for awhile, watched the new year parade on Saturday, relaxed, and then had brunch with the family before we went to see a movie," Amber replied. It was all true, but she left out the fact that Kit had snuck into their New Year's Eve party and snagged some food only being caught by her tamer thankfully.
"Hey girls," Kylie called out to the duo and both looked to see her walking towards them with a guy who to Amber looked a little off for some reason. He had moussed back dark brown hair and creepy gray eyes. He wore a dark tan business like suit.
"Ah! You must be the girl I'm looking for," the man said as he approached Amber who stepped away from the piece of set.
"And why would you be looking for me?" Amber questioned as she slipped her hand into her pocket ready to whip out her D-Link should she need it to defend her friends from this man.
"You seem to be the same person here in this picture," the man said taking out a picture and handing it to her. In the picture was here and Draven on New Year's Day waiting for the others to arrive in the park to see if anyone had heard anything.
"So? What's it to you?" Amber questioned not liking how he had a picture of her and Draven on him, but glad at the same time none of the Digimon were in the picture.
"Just wanting to warn you about him. I use to know him and he tends to get violent when angry. Like a volcano," the man said then he walked away and out of the theatre.
"That was freaky," Kate said as she came over to look at the picture, "Oh he's cute. What's his name?"
"His name is Draven Atlas," Amber answered and was surprised to see Kate back away in surprise, "Something wrong?"
"Draven Atlas use to be a crazy street fighter who many didn't want to face since he would get violent," Kate answered, "Then suddenly he just up and quit."
'Draven use to be a fighter?' Amber thought to herself. "I think I should go talk to Draven about this guy claiming to know him."
"Then you better have a picture of him," Kylie said holding up her cell with a picture of the guy on it.
"Could you send that in a picture message to me?" Amber asked and Kylie nodded. With that Amber was away looking for Draven.
"Why not call him?" Kit suggested when Amber stopped in the park and Kit appeared in a tree from the D-Link.
"That's what I was planning on doing. I was just going to say I wanted to meet with him for a small chat or just to hang out for a little then ask him about this creepy guy," Amber replied as she located Draven's number on her cellphone. After Kit had evolved the others accepted her into their fold and they all exchanged phone numbers.
Soon Draven and Amber met in the park on a bench with both their Digimon hiding in their D-Links. "So where do you want to hang out?" Draven questioned with a smile before he noticed something off. "What's wrong?"
"Some guy came up to one of my friends and got her to show him to me. He showed me this picture and told me to stay away from you," Amber explained handing the picture to Draven.
Draven narrowed his eyes at the picture. "Who was this guy? Did he give you a name?"
Amber shook her head. "No, just the warning and picture, but my one friend was smart enough to take a picture of the guy and sent it to my phone so you could see him." She held up the picture so he could see it.
Draven's eyes went wide at the image. "Why the hell did he have to show up now?" Draven questioned with a bit of a growl in his voice.
"Who is he?" Amber asked as she put a gentle hand on his arm.
"His name is Lamis Haner or Lami for short. He was my manager when I…"
"When you were a street fighter," Amber finished for him.
"How did…?" he asked surprised.
"One of my friends told me after I mentioned your name to her. So what happened?"
Draven sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I was on a win streak and it felt like I was on top of the world, but…all that came crashing down one day. I came in early and found…Lami slipping something into my water I use in a fight in the locker room. After he left I came out of hiding and took one of the bottles out to be tested. Come to find out, he was slipping drugs into it making me get angrier then I should be. After finding that out I quit fighting and have been trying to turn my life around," he answered her.
Amber was surprised and shocked by what he told her. "So that's why you quit. But why would he be coming around now?"
"Probably to try to get me to fight again and he be my manager. I've turned him down every time he's tried before. But why did he come right to you and not me?" he questioned.
"I don't know either," Amber murmured.
"I sense a Digimon nearby," Kit said from inside the D-Link. Both tamers whipped out their devices.
"I'm sensing one too and it's coming closer," Ryumon said.
"Coming closer?" both tamers asked before Amber glanced up and tugged on Draven's t-shirt sleeve.
"What?" he asked and followed her gaze to see now other than Lami standing there with a cocky smirk on his face. "Lamis," Draven just about growled out.
"Hello Draven. I knew your girl over there would lead me right to you," he said.
Amber bristled. "I am not his girl I am his friend!" she shouted at him.
Lamis just shrugged. "Whatever floats your boat. In any case…come along Draven 'Raging Volcano' Atlas, you have opponents waiting to fight you."
"And who says I'm going back to that life?" Draven questioned him.
"I knew you would say that. Then meet my new friend that 'The Hacker' sent me," Lamis said catching both tamers by surprise.
"The Hacker?" Amber exclaimed as something leapt in between them and Lamis. Kit and Ryumon leapt free of the D-Links as soon as the wolf like creature appeared ready to defend their tamers.
"BlackGarurumon the black growling Digimon. This virus type is a champion level Digimon. This Garurumon evolved into the Virus attribute. It is more ferocious when compared with the Data and Vaccine-attributed variants and it'll reliably kill the opponents it aims at. The blades on its shoulders cut through everything they touch. Attacks are Howling Wolf, Ice Cannon, and Wall of Ice," Amber's D-Link spoke.
"Let's go Kit!" Amber called as her D-Link glowed.
"Got it!" Kit replied as she glowed as well. "Kitrisumon… zeal evolve to…Rosamon!" She growled low as she lunged at BlackGarurumon. "Crush Claw!"
The wolf Digimon nimbly dodged the attack before calling out one of its own. "Howling Wolf!" A blast of freezing wind rushed at the vaccine champion who fought hard to not let it affect her or push her back.
"Rosamon!" Amber exclaimed in worry.
"Ryumon," Draven said in a stern voice.
"Molten Sphere!" Ryumon launched his attack at the wolf not needing anything else said from his tamer he just knew what it was he wanted. But the virus champion barely even twitched when the ball of flames hit it in the shoulder while it kept attacking Rosamon.
"Damnit," Draven cursed under his breath as his balled fist shook at his side.
"All this can end if you just come along with me," Lamis said with a smirk.
"How many times does he have to say no to you?" Amber questioned drawing both males attentions as Rosamon leapt up into the air causing BlackGarurumon to stop his Howling Wolf attack to find out what she was up to.
"Cerise Orbs!" The attack didn't faze him as BlackGarurumon merely flicked the attack away with his tail. Rosamon growled low in her throat while the virus gave a wolfish smirk.
"But he's a volcano that could go off at any second and destroy anything," Lamis argued.
"That's only one side of a volcano's personality," Ryumon stated drawing the humans attention.
"What do you know reptile?" Lamis sneered.
"A volcano has two sides to it; it can destroy and it can create," Ryumon stated making Lamis gaze at him confused, "If it is on an island sure it will destroy plants and maybe some animals, but then again that is life and things happen, but also its lava can create new land for new things to grow on."
"He's right," Amber said drawing the males attention, "It's just giving rebirth to the land. So a volcano is not only bad, but also good. It all deepens on how you view it."
"But he could turn on you…" Lamis tried to argue back, but Amber cut him off.
"Does it look like I can if I still here trying to help?" she questioned.
'She…she trusts me that much?' Draven thought to himself.
Lamis looked and seemed pissed now. "Then if you won't come willingly then I'll destroy what is keeping you here." With that he turned to Amber and drew a knife before he lunged at her with it.
"Amber!" Rosamon exclaimed in fright. She tried to leap to her tamer's aid, but BlackGarurumon pined her down.
"Rosamon!" Amber called wanting to help her partner, but found she was too scared to move as Lamis came closer to her with the knife. Just as Lamis was going to stab her Draven took the blow for her in the back of his left shoulder. "Draven!"
"I won't let you harm her or anyone else close to me," Draven growled out to Lamis glaring at him over his shoulder as his D-Link glowed. "Ryumon!"
"Understood," Ryumon said as he too began to glow.
"He's…he's evolving," Amber stated in awe before she gasped and caught Draven in her arms as he slumped due to the wound.
"Ryumon…zeal evolve to…" Ryumon grew to now stand 10'1" from his previous 3'8" keeping his appearance of a dino/dragon. His black tail now turned to match the rest of him yet black remained at the tip of his tail. His teeth grew to sort of resemble the teeth of a t-rex. The claws on his hand and feet grew and thickened looking ready to tear into anything. Long flat horns extend back from the top of his head with stripes of black on them. His amber eyes burned with fury and then he let out a loud roar that shook the ground before exclaiming in a deep voice, "Ryujinmon!"
Lamis was taken aback by Ryumon's change of appearance. Amber looked to her D-Link as it supplied information about Ryumon's new form. "Ryujinmon, the dragon god Digimon. A virus champion. A Digimon known as the Volcanic Demon. It may be a virus type but this Digimon always sides with good and is never swayed to the side of evil," her D-Link chimed.
"Take out that wolf," Draven ordered.
"Leave it to me," Ryujinmon growled out as his tail glowed in a bright crimson color almost like fire or magma, "Dragon Tail!" He whirled slamming his tail into the side of BlackGarurumon knocking him off of Rosamon freeing her. "You okay?" he asked her.
"Yes, I'm fine," she answered as BlackGarurumon began to size up the dino/dragon.
"Destroy him!" Lamis ordered the wolf.
"Ice Cannon!" BlackGarurumon hollered launching an icy blast at the champion's and their tamers.
"Protect our tamers," Ryujinmon said to Rosamon who nodded and moved to shield both Amber and Draven from harm. Ryujinmon opened his mouth wide as a dark ball of flames appeared in it. "Molten Blaster!" He shout his beam of fire at BlackGarurumon's Ice Cannon canceling it out and hitting the wolf Digimon hard deleting it from the fight.
Just like before the data from BlackGarurumon went to both tamer and Digimon. "You okay Draven?" Amber asked in worry.
"I'm fine," he said then Amber realized right where he was resting his head against her, on top of her breasts.
"Pervert!" she shrieked as she shoved him away from her causing him to laugh.
"I was only kidding with you. Can't take a joke?" he asked still laughing. Amber turned angrily away from him trying to hide her dark blush.
"We better leave before someone comes to investigate," Rosamon said.
"Wait! What about…" Amber looked to where Lamis once was to see him nowhere in sight. "Bastard."
"Just let him go," Ryujinmon told her causing them all to look at him.
"Yeah, now he knows not to mess with me anymore, but if he does…" Draven said and then looked to his partner sharing a nod.
"In any case let's get you back to HQ and patched up," Amber said as both Digimon returned to their rookie forms and helped Amber take him to the others.
