Destined Tamer
Part 7
Megakabuterimon step back from the digimons. "They got what they wanted so I'm leaving," he said, "You want it come to the Digi-World. Come stand before Metal-Etemon." He flew into a portal.
"Why is he running away?" Rapidmon ask.
"He came to help the devas find the light," Henry said, "They found it and now is back in the Digi-World."
"Hey," Takato yelled running up. "They took Calumon. We need to go to the Digi-World and get his back."
"Metal-Etemon is there too," Tai said, "We need to search for a way in."
"Let's get our friends to help use search," Takato said, "We need all the help we can get."
--
Within his city, Metal-Etemon was laughing his head off as he watched MegaKabuterimon, Makuramon and Vajiramon stood before him, the two devas staring at the massive dark network behind the metallic monkey man digimon. "You got the light of evolution, and soon, that brat will come here."
Turning to face his dark network, he laughed even harder as he watched it glow with power. "And with this new network, I can not only control digimons, I can also block that pesky digivolution technique, which means that human brat is a goner." Makuramon simply frowned as he watched the mega digimon."Just don't get too attached to this place, once the human is done for, we will return you to your world, as agreed."
The interruption to his laughter had Metal-Etemon grumbling as he turned to face them. "I can handle the kid, you two just try and keep the others away; they're the ones who keep messing up everything."
Facing the side of the room, he grinned as Taimon stepped out from the shadows, Black Agumon besides him as always. "Seems I was a bit fast, I meant that Taimon here will deal with him."
"Should I open the portal for him?" Taimon ask.
"No," Metal-Etemon said, "I don't want to risk the anger of the sovereign by allowing them to enter this world so easy."
"Why are you worried? You're both megas," Taimon said.
"You will see," Metal-Etemon said.
----
Meanwhile Tai walk into Takato's room. "So that digimon was the light of evolution," Tai said.
"He's still our friend," Takato said, "There should be a portal some where so we can enter the Digi-World.
"Tomorrow we need to search for a way into the Digi-World," Tai said, "and I need to find a way to fight Etemon or now Metal-Etemon."
"I know a few web sites I can see what I can find," Takato said.
"Too bad we can't just open a gate on a computer screen." Tai joked as he watched his digivice and D-Arc, the two devices lying side by side on the table as he went over his card deck. "Would save us a lot of trouble, and we could just drag along a laptop for our return."
Not turning his head, Takato did his best to mention that doing 02, the digi destined would using just that to travel between earth and the digital world. "Yeah, look, no one on the web has much of an idea, so, I think we should find a gate opening and use that to go to the digital world."
"More hard work," Tai said, "Luckily I don't go to school here so I can search for during the day."
"There is nothing that we can do else," Takato said.
Meanwhile in the park, Agumon spit some dirt. "Guilmon would you mind stop digging tonight?"
"Sorry," Guilmon said as his head came from the hole. "I just like to dig.""It is but dirt is getting thrown on you is not fun when you trying to sleep," Agumon said, "We need to search for a way into the Digi-World tomorrow so We need to rest to be ready."
"Okay," Guilmon said.
Across the town, Impmon sat silently on a construction beam, a thoughtful look on his face as he watched a fireball he and lit up in his left hand's middle finger. "This pact, will give me power, power enough to defeat those tamers."
Standing on a completed section of concrete flooring, Chatsuramon watched Impmon before him, a patient look in his eyes as he waited. "Yes, it will also help strengthen our defenses against the coming darkness.""I don't care about that." Impmon spat out as he stood up, his eyes narrowing in anger as he remembered every single one of his defeats. "I want that power to make them understand, that digimons don't need humans to be strong." Bowing his head, Chatsuramon merely grunted in response as his eyes began to glow, a digital gate forming around Impmon, a digital gate the sent up a gust of hot air. "The master, will grant you the power you want when you meet him."
"You got what you wanted then why are you still giving me this?" Impmon ask. "We made a promises and I see that you could me useful," Chatsuramon said.
Barely having time to scream, Impmon found himself falling as the digital gate opened below, the building replaced with the insides of a volcano, the small demon like digimon barely having time to see anything before he landed in a vast pool of lave.But what he had seen, had been enough to scare him, as he had briefly faced the biggest digimon he had ever seen, four wings and an aura of pure power. Power that surged through him as he hit the lava, feeling it tear through him as he snapped his eyes wide open. "Impmon, Warp evolves too!" A blast of white light shooting out of the lave pool as a the small rookie digimon evolved to the mega level.
The next morning Tai stepped out of Takato's home. "We need to get to school," Tatako said. Tai nod and the two walk to the park. "I'm going to Guilmon's place," Tai said, "I'll do what searching I can."
"Here some food for them," Takato said as he hands a bag to Tai.
"Hey Buddy," Tai said as Agumon ran to him. "Takato had to go the school but he gave me some food. After you eaten we can search for a portal." "Here should we search?" Agumon ask. "Where the portals where before," Tai said, "Guilmon can you remember any places nearby?"
"I think I can," Guilmon said.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Agumon said. ---- Wandering through the underground of Metal-Etemon city, Taimon and Black Agumon barely paid any attention to the digimons moving through the corridors, no real destination in mind as the digital human and digimon partner kept walking."I should be fighting those tamers by now." Taimon spat out as he walked over a small bridge running between two buildings.
"Not sitting by while those digimons get to have all the fun." His angry ranted interrupted by a loud laugh as a single digimon walked out onto the bridge ahead of him with a wide grins on his face. "A deva?."Vajiramon leading the way stopped walking as he lifted up a hand to stop Makuramon who had been walking just behind him. "What are you doing here, copy creature?" His eyes narrowing as he watched the black colored agumon growl at him. "Shouldn't you be growling at your masters feet?"
"I do not growl to anyone, I do what I want." Taimon spat out as he clenched up one hand, glaring at Vajiramon as the bull deva advanced on him and Black Agumon. "Well answer me or we'll attack you."Taimon smile as he snap his fingers. Black Agumon ran past him as his body glow. Second later, Vajiramon turn the ultimate digimon running through them. "Thanks for giving you data to him," Taimon said as he look at the braking up digimon. "I told you I do I want." Meanwhile in the Real World, Tai roll his eyes and Guilmon said, "I buried a piece of bread right here.""He haven't show us a single place when he fought a digimon," Agumon said, "I know where he drank water and play and the many place her bury food."
"Guilmon is there anyplace that you fought
other digimons," Tai said. "I think I know one," Guilmon said. Tai and Agumon ran after Guilmon. He points at a fence rest on the top of the hill. "That where I fought Renamon."
Giving an inner groan, Tai did his best not to show any annoyance at Guilmon. "So, did a digital gate open here?" His question aimed at Guilmon, but he quickly forgot it as he noticed someone smirking down at him from the fence, someone that hadn't been there before. "Makuramon."The monkey digimon smirking as he stared down at Tai, both hand held out before him. "Hello again, looking for a way to the digital world?." Ignoring the angry looks on their faces, he moved one hand to point at the center of the park.
"My master wishes to meet with you, and as such, a gate will be opened, just for you."
"Don't," Agumon said, "It could be a trap."
"Why would I lie?" Makuramon asks.
"No thanks," Tai said, "I already fell for enough traps.""I will leave you today," Makuramon said, "Since my master did not order me to drag you before him."
"We need to find a portal," Tai said, "Guilmon have you fought anyone in those fog cover places?"Standing still as Tai, Agumon and Guilmon left, Makuramon smirked as he lifted up one hand. "One way or another you will enter the digital world through my gate, human." Turning to watch the area he had spoken off to Tai, he grinned as he began to prepare for the even he had planned. "Tonight, the last battle in this world will take place." Jumping off, he ignored everything around him, including Yamaki standing behind a tree, his light held in one hand while he stared at not only Tai, but Makuramon as well. "So, tonight was it?" Smirking as he closed the lighter lid, he pushed off from the tree. "Whoever knew a coffee break would give me such, juicy in tell."
Tai rub his head. "I don't like this," Tai said, "I think we need to tell the others."
"Right," Agumon said, "Lets rest, until the others come."
----
In the digital world, Taimon found himself standing on the very top of a metallic building, his eyes closed as he felt the wind blow through his hair. "Now this is much better." The outside felt good, and alive, not like that underground lair below the city. "But it would be far better if my copy were here so we could kick his ass."
Next to him, Black-Agumon grinned as he oversaw the digimons moving about below them. "Taimon, should we hunt down more digimons, I like crushing and loading their data."
The reptile digimon smirking as this partner ship deal Etemon had forced on him had proved very good indeed. "The more data I load, the stronger I get."
Grinning at the suggestion, Taimon began to turn around and agree, but stopped as he noticed of all things a human boy standing on the rooftop of the building across from theirs, that someone flanked by a four winged dragon man like digimon. "And who are you? The local hero come to stop us?"
Ryu and Cyberdramon simply standing there as they watched Taimon yell out his questions. "A copy." Turning around, Ryo simply signaled for Cyberdramon to follow him as he had seen enough. "He's just a copy."
"They don't matter," Taimon said, "Let's go hunting.""Right," Black-Agumon cheered as he happily chased Taimon.
--------
"My lord," a digimon stuttered as he bowed to Metal-Etemon. "Aren't you giving him too much freedom?"
"No." Metal-Etemon said, "He's acting like I did."
-------
A little later in the Real World, Guilmon smile as ran to his tamers. "No luck find a way into the Digi-World," Tai said.
"I don't think it will be that easy," Takato said. "It never is, kid." The gruff voice caused them turn around to see Yamaki staring down at them, his sun glasses gleaming in the light. "But this is about more then just you two."
Snapping one finger, he grinned as several Hypnos agents stormed out to surround them. "It's about your digimons as well!" Glaring at him, Tai and Agumon slowly eased backwards. "What about them?" Flicking open his lighter, Yamaki gave a soft sigh. "I wanted to wait until all of you were together, but those damn politicians forced my hand." Snapping the lid on the lighter shot, Yamaki stood up straight and glared right back at them. "Takato Matsuki, Guilmon, you kid and Agumon are under arrest, on suspicion on working with the digimons attacking the city."
"Agumon Digivolve to Greymon," Tai's partner yelled. Tai pulled Takato onto Greymon. Yamaki chased after them. The trees hid them from the helicopter. A little later, Yamaki stop to look around. In a large pipe under him, Tai and Takato sat with their partner. "This isn't good," Takato said, "How do I tell my parents about this?" "So they chase you too," Henry said as he stumbled into the room. He fell to the floor breathing heavily.
The six wait around for a while. "So you got away as well," Rika said.
"Henry," Suzy cried as she ran into the place."Suzy what are you doing here?" Henry asks. "I brought her here," Jeri said.
A soft laugh breaking through their nervousness had them turn around to see Makuramon, a smirk on the monkey devas face as he faced down the collected group of tamers and one digi-destined. "Are you ready to accept the offer boy, or will you still attempt to find your own way to the digital world?"
While speaking, Makuramon kept a close eye on the tamers, but grinned as he remembered that now that the light of evolution was gone, they would be easy pickings. "Before you think of it boy, just remember this, your friends can't help you, without the light of evolution to evolve their partners."
"That is way I won't come with you," Tai said, "It is even more dangerous."
"There is no way for you to get into Digi-World," Makuramon said. "I found a way," Guilmon said, "At my den."
Makuramon jump before them and said, "I won't let you..." Renamon kick him in the back."Lets go," Renamon said.
As they ran, Takato turn to Jeri and said, "Once we leave you stay here, it's too dangerous for you without a partner."
When they got to the den, they hear, "Stop right there!" They turn to Yamaki with other men pointing guns at them.
Tai step back. "Come on," Tai yelled as he rush into the hut.
Yamaki ran after them. He watched as the last drop into a hole. Landing on the bottom of the hole, Yamaki look down a short tunnel at a glowing sphere. "Do we follow?" one of this men ask.
"No," Yamaki said, "There is no way back...yet."
----- Lifting his head, Zhuqiaomon eyes flared up with power as roared."They're here, both the outsider and those humans who've been standing in our way."
Looking up, the reaming devas smirked at the statement from Zhuqiaomon, each of them more then ready to gain revenge for the loss of their comrades. "Lord Zhuqiaomon, leave it us, we'll crush them now that they can't evolve anymore." Staring down at his servants, Zhuqiaomon grinned as he watched them. "Very well, Makuramon, Vikaralamon, Majiramon and Chatsuramon, destroy them all." "And what about Antiramon?" Chatsuramon asked as he stepped forward, his eyes narrowed in thought as he waited for an answer to his question. "She has allowed herself to be enslaved by a human."
Zhuqiaomon closing his eyes as anger flared through him. "Destroyer her, and load her data if you wish to do so." In the shadows of the room, a humanoid digimon chuckled as he waved around a double barreled shotguns, taking mock aim at each of the four devas. "So they are here huh, should be fun to find them and crush them into the ground, a little payback would be nice right about now."
Elsewhere Tai look up at the sky. "This is not our Digi-World," he said. "You said it," Agumon answer as he help Tai out of the creator.
"Where do we go now?" Rika ask. "I've never been here," Guilmon said."Zhuqiaomon palace," Lopmon said.
"How would you know that?" Henry asks. "I live near it," Lopmon said, "I just never seen this place before."
"Lets look for other digimons," Tai said, "There friendly digimons as well. They know something."
Far away from them, Taimon had the biggest smirk on his face as he watched the image on Metal-Etemon's main computer. "So, my worthless copy is here." chuckling as he stepped forward, he stopped and stared back towards the place the metallic monkey normally sat, now empty as he was out giving orders to his forces. "I'll crush him alright, and then you as well."
"Soon everyone will fear us." His words aimed at Black Agumon as he started walking. "We are the ones who shall rule this world."
"You can deal with hid only after he is away from the tamers," Etemon says, "You can't deal with that many. I'm sure the Devas would want to stop the Tamers."
"That s the only use for them," Taimon said.
Tai look around. "Nothing but rocks and sand," Tai said as he pull he scoop from his eye.
"You should be able to find something. You been in places like this before," Rika yelled.
"Why don't you fox have a look around," Tai yelled toss the scoop to Rika. "She comes from this world."
"Enough," Renamon said, "This place is not as safe as the Real World. We need to work together here." She took the scoop and look at the land around. "It seems I found something."
"What is it?" Guilmon ask. Renamon did a quick double check and then grinned as she tossed the scoop back at Tai. "A transaction, we can catch a ride on a trailmon if we're lucky." Crossing her arms with a serious expression, she gazed around at the group. "Don't get to reckless up ahead, if there are any digimons around, it's best not to cause any trouble." Rika merely smirking as she ran a hand over her deck of cards, knowing full well that even if they got into trouble, they would get through it, the hard way if need be. "Let's just go Renamon, and you gogglehead, keep a low profile." The last part aimed at Tai as she sent a glare in his direction. "Word might have gotten out about you."
"What about the digimons that found out about you?" Tai ask.
"This sovereign may reward them if you are stop." "We need to find food," Henry said, "We don't have any." "I guess we're walking," Takato said.
------
Meanwhile in the real world, Yamaki stood wondering how to tell about the kids entering the other world. "Do we have some way to get them from the Digi-World?" He asked. He turned to watch Janyu enter. "There is something I need to tell you about your son."
Stopping, Janyu faced Yamaki head on. "What about him, is he okay?"
Flicking open is lighter, Yamaki didn't really know how to break the news, but felt that even if were a crude way of informing him, it had to be done. "He was seen together with several of the children with digimons, we tried to bring them in for questioning but they jumped through a wild gate, as far as far we know, he's in the digital world with the others."
"We need to find a way to get him back," Janyu yell in a panic, "We need..." His eyes widen as he jaw drop. "Suzy was also said that she was going with Henry. Was they a little girl with them?"
"There could have been," Yamaki said.
"I need to call home," Janyu mutter as he ran off.
"We need to find a way to contact them," Yamaki said, "We need to find them and find some way to get them something to communicate with us." Yamaki nodding as he listen, closing his lighter he glanced up. "There maybe one thing we could try, it was abandoned after it failed our tests." "If it will work, it will allow us to send a vessel, an ark if you will, into the digital world." Snapping open his lighter, Yamaki let out a deep sigh. "The problem is, that it is not finished, we need all the monster makers to fix it completely." Meanwhile, Tai cover his eye as sand jab into his hand. "The wind is picking up," he said. "We need to find cover," Henry said as he holds his sister. "It getting worst." "There a cave near by," Takato says.
They slip into the cave mouth. Tai turn to watch the land beyond the cave mouth slowly fad into sand hurdling through the air. The cave is to arcs coming to a point. Tai turn to the shadow of the deep cave. "We need to explore this cave," Tai said, "There is no telling what is down there."
"Well, we'll never find out if we stay out here." Renamon cut in as she simply stepped forward and into the cave, her tail hitting both Tai and Agumon as she walked past them. "Are you coming?"
Following right after her, Tai stopped as he frowned, a very familiar smell hitting his nose the instant he stepped inside the cave. "Agumon, can you smell that too?"
"Yeah, its Numemons." Agumon responded as he could remember that foul smell anywhere.
"Get out of here," A green slime yelled as it slithered into view.
"There is a storm out there," Tai said.
"He said get out," the second Numemons said.
"This is our cave," the last Numemons yelled.
"Can't we stay until the storm pass?" Agumon ask.
"No," the first slime digimon yelled, "Numesludge." Agumon push Tai from the attack. Renamon roll from the attack. "We have no choose but to attack," Rika said. "Pepper Breath!" "Diamond Storm!" "Bunny Blast!" The Numemon's screaming loudly as the three rookie digimons tore into them, the small mollusk digimons moving around in utter chaos, one of them striking back every now and then in an attempt to chase out the humans and the digimons. The fight would have lasted longer, if not for one thing. "What's the meaning of this!" A loud voice yelling as its owner emerged from the back of the cave. "Can't a king be allowed to get some rest around here?" The first Numemon freezing as it turned to face the digimon slithering into view. "Your highness, these humans and their digimons just barge din here and."
"Silence!" The digimon roared back as it came fully into view, its grey colored snail like body holding a cheap tin and cobber crown on its back, with a black moustache bristling with anger. "Is it not enough that you failed to stop that rotten boy and his Black Agumon from destroying our village? Must you pick a fight with even more humans so soon after that."
"Look he is the one with the Black Agumon," a numemon yelled as her point at Tai. "Look there cloths are not the same," Black King Numemon said, "Second his hair is darker and he has a normal agumon with him." "We enter to get out of the storm," Tai said, "Tell me of this human with the black Agumon." "Very well," Black King Numemon said, "I just got out of my bath. Oh how I miss them..." "Stay on the story," Renamon said. "Never rush a king," Black King Numemon said, "But See that I don't want to waste my time, that was haft of my village burst into flames. If any of my subject try to stop the fire as destroy before they could get ready. We were force to watch the flame eat our home. Then a human came laughing from the flames with a black agumon. My best guard charge at them. That black Agumon wipe him out with ease. Then they came at us. We ran as that black agumon digivolve." "Did you see how he digivolve?" Tai ask "Those that did are no long here," a numemon said. "Enough my time is need somewhere else," Black KingNumemon said, "You can stay at the mouth of the cave until the storm stops. Then you leave."
"Stupid blob." Agumon muttered out as he sat down, making sure to always keep an eye on the back of the cave that the numemon's had occupied. "We could kick his behind in no time, so why are we doing what he's saying?"
Rika turned her head to face the digimon with a dark expression. "Because of what he just said." Her attention moving towards Tai who were standing in the cave opening rather silently. "Remember, a messy haired human and a black Agumon destroyed their home."
Her comment earning a nod from Renamon as she moved towards the shadows. "Metal-Etemon must have succeed in copying you kid." Her hands clenching up as she did her best to hide a frown. "But if he has, why hasn't he sent it against us yet?"
"He must not know about us," Rika said, "We need to keep it hidden."
"Did you find anything?" Takato ask.
"So slime live in deep in the cave," Rika said, "Also spiky hair have a evil brother and they though he came back. We need keep Etemon from learning of us."
Meanwhile the remaining devas stand around the room. The bird sovereign hovered over them. "Humans are spoiling this land," Zhuqiaomon yelled, "Find them and stomp them out."
Elsewhere Taimon said looking at a group of koromon run away. "I want some minions," he said, "Help me gather them up. I want as many as we can get."
"Only a few will live through the training," Black Agumon said as he digivolved.
"Only the strong survive." Taimon responded as he watched the koromons run away, a faint feeling of anger flowing through him as he turned his back on the carnage. "Only the strong."
Metal-Etemon annoyed him lately, the metallic monkey may have created him, but he was holding him back, refusing him to destroy this Tai that he had been based on. "I have to destroy him, I have to, I'm the best version of us."
A dark laughter escaped him as he walked forward." And only the strongest of us will survive when we do fight, my brother." "Then what?" Black Agumon asked, "After we win then what?" Taimon turn to the black dinosaur and twist his lips into a smile. Later, Tai felt force into the side of his gut. He opened his eyes to see Rika standing over him. "Come on Spiky," Rika yell, "We're going. Look the storm is dead." "Alright," Tai groan as he pushes to his feet. "What are we going?" Agumon ask. "The place with the largest number of digimons," Renamon said, "The humans stay here. With Guilmon, We want to hide so we need to hide those that are strange." "I'm not strange." Henry protested as Terriermon did his best to hide his grin, while Suzy were busy hugging Lopmon next him, telling her to come right back in one piece. "Besides, what should we in the meantime, I don't just want to wait around here?" Giving him a short look, Tai shrugged as he turned to look around the area. "Like it or not, they're right, it would be best for us to lay low while they scout around." Picking a good spot, Tai sat down and leaned back against a small rock. "Besides, we stick out a good deal, back home there were barely a digimon who knew what a human looks like; I guess it must be the same around here."
Pulling out his deck of cards as he finished talking, Tai grinned at him. "Besides, I'll take you on in a quick game if you want to."
"No way," Rika answered, "You only play for a few days." "I'll play you," Takato said. "I'm going to rest," Rika said. "Bye Tai," Agumon wave as the digimons left. "Let's see if there is a box that big enough for them." "Or a digimon costume," Terriermon answer, "It feels good on the giving side of things for once." "It does," Renamon said, "don't forget that we are here to make to find out about the Deva and ad the copy." "Too bad we don't have anything to pay with," Lopmon said, "Also, why is Guilmon staying with them?" "I never see a guilmon before," Renamon answered and they need a digimon to protect them." They look at a small number of buildings. Black smoke rise from a trailmon. The streets cover by rumbling masses. "Look a trailmon. If we can hid them then we can travel fast and not walk," Terriermon cheered. "There crowd in there," Renamon said, "Don't get separated." "Too late." Agumon responded as he watched the place where Guilmon, Terriermon and Lopmon had just been, each of the three digimons running of in a different direction. "You know this reminds me of something, just wish I knew what it was."Noticing Guilmon barging into a food store, Agumon felt a sudden dread as loud noise and screams could be heard from within. "Guilmon, don't attack them!"Renamon stood still for a few seconds as even Agumon left, no doubt going to join Guilmon in ruining everything. "Those Idiots!" "Guilmon," Agumon yelled, "You were to stay with the others?" "But I got hungry," Guilmon answer. "We can't afford any food," Agumon said as he ran in front of the larger digimon. "I don't want to do something like cleaning dishes to pay them back," Agumon grunted as the red digimon slowly move.
"Renamon, I could use your help.""If you want," Renamon says appearing next to them. Elsewhere, Terriermon ran up to a cute digimon and ask, "What is a cute floramon doing here?""Shopping," the digimon said raising a basket. "So what you sign?" Terriermon ask. "You're kidding right?" The digimon responded as he gave him a look of disbelief. "I can't believe anyone still use an outdated pickup line like that." looking past Terriermon, Floramon suddenly grinned wickedly as a large shadow fell over them. "Hiya sweaty, could you get rid of this idiot for me?" Terriermon gulped as he turned to find a gorrilamon looming over him, a look of deep anger on his face. "You' are so deleted buster!" A large fist moved right towards him as Gorrilamon yelled out the words. Renamon blink as screams pass her. She watches Terrirmon running down the street. "I'll get him," Renamon said, "You keep Guilmon from eating anything." Elsewhere, Rika moan. "What wrong with that red dino?" Rika ask, "We ordered him to stay and now we don't have a single digimon." "We just want to see the Digi-World," Takato said "We need to stay here," Henry said, "I hope Terriermon is not getting into trouble." In the town, Terriermon scream as the large digimon chase him. "I come up with a new pick up line," Terriermon said as he looks behind him.
"That not it," gorrilamon yelled. He watches a shadow block his view of his prey. He stops as he looks for the terriermon. "Where did he go?" the gorrilamon ask looking at the few other digimons around. Renamon merely glanced back at him before pointing down another street. "He went that way." Her expression completely neutral as she turned back to look at a small display of fruit. The gorillamon roared as he charged down the street, smashing up everything and everyone that got in his way. "You can't escape me, you hear? I'll delete you!"
"Thanks, Renamon," Terriermon said step from a corner. "We're leaving," Renamon answer, "I can't handle this." She yanks Terriermon up and walked off.
Meanwhile, Lopmon bow to a gatomon. "Thanks you," Lopmon said, "I now know how to get home. I just need to find the others." Lopmon walk down the street. She stops to see Agumon pulling the ears of Guilmon. "I wish they are harder to find." She walks up to them. She watches as Guilmon swaying his head. "What are you doing?" "I trying to keep him from eating use into dept," Agumon yelled. "I know where we need to go," Lopmon said. "Good that means we can leave this town," Renamon said, "Where do we go?" Lopmon rub the back of her head. "That's the think," she said, "We need to take a trailmon." ----- "Where are they?" Metal-Etemon spat out the words as he watched the countless screens around him, one hand clenched up as he pounded it against a wall. "Damn it, now that destined brat and Taimon are both missing, who said they could leave anyway?" The metallic monkey slowly stopping as he frowned, a dark feeling sliding through the room as he lifted his head up to see Makuramon and a large, grey colored digimon holding a shotgun walk out of the shadows of his chamber. "Now what? I'm hunting for the kid as I promised, as well as helping you deal with the tamers, so what do you want now?" "That little human thing you made," Makuranmon growl, "That thing is causing trouble all over. He's burning village and hunting their inhabitants. My lord wants you to stop it or we will." "Sorry, Baby. I have little control over it," Metal-Etemon said.
"You made something that you can't control," Makuranmon said. "I made sure he can't hurt me," Metal-Etemon said, "We don't have anything to worry about.""What about the others?" Makuranmon ask."It needs to experiment," Metal-Etemon said."There is will be destroyed," Makuranmon said as he steps back."He will get those that attack him," Metal-Etemon whisper.Meanwhile, Renamon look at the four humans as Lopmon finish explaining about what she learns. The human remain silent just look at the brown digimon. Rika cross her arms and release a silent growl. Takato rub the back of his head."So to get on trailmon we need to play digimon or go in cargo," Rika said, "This is great. We go home and we get lock up and we show ourselves here we get attack."
"How do we get the money?" Henry asks. "I pose as a cargo watcher," Lopmon said, "I need to get back. You all can hide in the cargo." The cargo wasn't much to talk about, Taichi mused as he found himself sitting behind a large box of something that smelled like an army of numemons had been attacking it for months. "Wherever we're going, it had better have a decent bath."Rika silently agreed with him as she too had been forced to hide behind the same box, the rest of the places taken up by Takato, Henry and Suzy. "I bet he did this to us deliberately, the little sneak." Her voice muffled as she tried talking with her nose closed. "First thing first, I get to kick his furry behind, and take a bath first.""I know why there were no one else who would agree to watch this," Takato said as he cover this nose. "We could use some air."
"Henry I don't like this smell," Suzy whine to her brother next to her."There is not much we can do," Henry answered, "We need to toughen it out."Outside the train cart, Lopmon listen to a digitamamon. "Make sure that no one enter that cart with my cargo," The egg digimon said, "Give the cargo only to the person that know the password." He wisher into Lopmon ears. "Your friends can travel with you as payment to watch the cargo." The digitamamon jump from the train and walk off. "We just relax and we can get there," Terriermon said as he drop in a soft chair. "This is comfy."
"And dangerous." The word spoken calmly as a round digimon wearing a purple head mask landed on the top of the cart, a small sword in his right hand and a throwing star in the other. "I Ninjamon, have been hired to take you out."Diving down at them with his sword, he laughed as he nearly cut both digimons in half. "Lord Metal-Etemon, will pay me well when I tell him of your demise.""We don't know what you're talking about," Renamon said."Nice try," Ninjamon said, I never seen a digimon like him." He points at Guilmon.
"We should have hidden him," Terriermon grunted.
"Why did you just walk up to us?" Lopmon ask, "You should attack and take use by surprise.""And hint to other bounty hunters," Ninjamon said, "I wanted to wait until the trailmon gets us away from the town. And we just left." He jumps at Renamon. "Ninja Knife Throwing" He watch the fox digimon fade away."Diamond Storm!"Doing a quick roll, Ninjamon used his throwing star to deflect that attack, smirking as he used the chance to make a strike at Terrirmon, missing completely as Lopmon charged him from behind. "Feh, three rookies will not get the best of me!"Tossing them off, he felt Renamon moving in for an attack from behind. "Think you stand a chance against a trained Ninja?" Jumping up and landing on Renamon's and, Ninjamon merely smirked as he dida round house kick right into the fox digimon's face. "All of you will fall to my ninja skills"
"We'll see," Renamon says. She jump and fade away. Guilmon growl and charge at the ninja digimon. Ninjamon drop to the ground. He easily kick Guilmon's ankle. Guilmon scream as he drop to the ground. His head slam into the wall. "Pepper Breath," Agumon yelled sending a fire ball at the champion. Ninjamon punch broke the attack.He turns to Agumon. "You are not skill enough," he said, "Ninja Knife Throwing." Agumon duck to avoid having splinters from the boards drop on him."Pepper breath!" Spitting out a fireball as he hit the deck, Agumon grinned as it at least hit Ninjamon, causing him to drop his sword from the surprise. "Alright, got you, now to."
"Hardly." Standing up Ninjamon cursed as he felt Terriermon and Lopmon tackle him, the force of the blows causing him to stumble forward. "Ah, Enough!" Spinning around with his hands full of knives, he smirked at them. "Time to die you little pests!"In quick moves, Terriemon and Lopmon jump behind a train seat. Between there noses a blade pierce."Come on out," Ninjamon snares as he threw more knifes at them. A red blur charge at his side. She leaps up and land on Guilmon's head. He gouge Guilmon's eye with his hand before he jump off. "Isn't there a single on that can stand up to me in a fight."
"I can." Ninjamon turn to see a large brushing pointing in his face.
Screaming as he was violently shoved backwards, Ninjamon cursed as he felt the wall of the train cart hit him. "You, you think this means anything." Laughing as he jumped upward, Ninjamon pulled out a handful of throwing knives, holding each of them easily as he bounded off the roof of the train cart. "There are other, even worse bounty hunters out to get you, but don't worry, I'll kill you now myself!" "I fought stronger digimons," Taomon says as she points her brush at Ninjamon once again.
"Go ahead and try," The champion digimon says, "I took down ultimates before." He charges at the higher level digimon.
Taomon swing her brush to knock the digimon. She watches the digimon recover. "Since you know where we are, I can't let you live," Taomon says. "Talisman of Light"Screaming loudly as his data was ripped apart; Ninjamon cast one last angry glare down at the digimons. "You can't win forever, someday; you will all be deleted as well."
Watching as Ninjamon finished deleting, Taomon merely snorted before reaching out and loading the data. "This Metal-Etemon is starting to annoy me." As she spoke, she regarded Agumon with a passive look. "I think it's time, we brought the fight to him for once.""We're out numbered," Lopmon said, "How do we take that many out?"
"We just stop Metal-Etemon and the other would leave," Taomon says as she changed into Renamon. "Where do we find the Metal-Etemon?" Lopmon ask. "Ninjamon knew," Guilmon says, "He spoke of others." "I need to finish the shipment," Lopmon says. "I'm going to talk to the Rika," Renamon says, "I'll tell her what he said."Agumon on the other hand where busy staring out at the digital world passing by, a concerned expression on his face. "Just how many, digimons does Metal-Etemon have working for him anyway?"It had been somewhat easy back home, but now he had powerful digimons on his side, a base and allies that could travel to the human world. "Not to mention we're outnumbered."
Renamon walk into the cargo room. She covers her nose. She quickly spoke, "We dealt with the ninjamon. He spoke of other digimons searching for us. It seams we still stand out with you hiding.""There is no other guilmon in this world," Rika says, "And he off running around.""Our group may stand out to," Renamon says, "They should be looking for a renamon, terriermon and a lopmon as well. We will claim that the attack was to get the cargo. I'll move each one of you to a good hiding place and then we will leave town.""It's best we all fade from view as soon as we can," Henry says, "We are getting hunted by more than just Metal-Etemon." "So then what?" Takato ask, "What are our goal.""We should find a way to stop the hunts for us," Rika says, "We need to attack before they can get us."Metal-Etemon snarled as he listened to the report from a random rookie level servant, one hand clenching up hard enough to damage his throne. "Even those stupid bounty hunters can't kill them."
Standing up, he leveled his glare at Mega-Kabuterimon and Warumonzaemon. "You two, go and destroy them, don't fail me this time! I want that human brat brought to me so I can kill him myself, the others you can kill as much as you like."The metallic monkey twisting his head as a soft laughter reached him. Taimon and Black Agumon moved out of the darkness and into the light of his throne room. "And where have you been, I want you along with them, bring me Taichi Yagami alive!""Must I?" Taimon ask, "I had some other plans.""My plans are your plans," Metal-Etemon yells."Fine," Taimon says, "So where is he?""No one return knowing his location," Metal-Etemon, "I want you to lead the hunt this time.""If I catch him then I get to do what I want," Taimon says."Agree," Metal-Etemon says.On the train, Tai felt the rumble slow. He pushes the large door. He looks the large city pass by. "Just great," Rika says, "Now we're in the middle of a busy city.""Let's finds a place to hide first," Henry says as he hops from the slow train.Moving quietly through the city's back streets, the humans and digimon did their best to avoid drawing in any kind of attention, hoping that the few digimons who did notice them wouldn't start any trouble."You know, there wasn't any place like this in my digital world." Taichi commented as he watched what looked like the Tokyo Tower in the distance. "The only real city we saw was the Yokomon village."Stopping, Tai glanced over in confusion as a humanoid figure dressed in a cloak and hood stared at him, a strange bipedal dragon man like digimon next to him. "Ah, can anyone else see that guy over there?""Not now spiky head," Rika grunt, "We need to get out of here." She grabs Tai's shirt and yank. She forces him into the shadows between some boxes. "He was spacing out." She flings Tai into Takato. "How are we going to get out of here?""Should we go through the sewer?" Takato ask."The sewers are just the home for more digimons," Renamon says. "I think there is a human with a cloak back there," Tai says with his back to the group."If there is a human he must be wearing a costume," Suzy says."We could us some cloaks or something," Henry says."I'll get some," Renamon says, "The rest stay here.""Gets some food while you're out," Rika says.
Staring after Taichi and Rika, the cloaked human growled as he stepped back into the shadows as well. "That boy, that was Taichi, the real one." Glancing down at his left hand, Ryo clenched it up as he snarled. "I'll make him pay for stranding me in this world, as well as betraying me at that championship tournament."
Next to him, Cybardramon merely gnashed his teeth as he fought against the rage and need to destroy everything around them, to delete as many digimons as he could, no matter what the price was.
Renamon turn as strong murder aura ooze passes her. 'What is that?' Renamon thought, 'We need to get out of here.' She rests her foot at the edge of a building's roof. She looks down at the streets below. Digimon of all shapes and sizes tried to force their way through, many hidden under brown cloaks. Vendors fought for their voice to gain perceive over the others but each failed leaving a bitter noise in her ears. A cheering soon over came it. She looked further down the street to see two Ogremons fighting.
She jumped from the building. She leaps over the building. Large digimon flew over her. She passes other digimon traveling over the building. She stops by the cries for help. She stop look at small little alley. A biyomon huddle in a corner as a group in cloak surrounds her.
Renamon drop to a lower roof. She leaps at the tallest digimon cloak digimon. With a mighty kick, the largest digimon drop to the ground. Two other digimon starts turn. Renamon release a high kick at one head. The she knee the other. She hears a step came behind her. She push back elbowing another digimon. Then she grabs it head and flips the digimon to the ground. The last three cloak digimons spread around.
One pushes its hood down showing an agumon. He tilts his head up as small flames left his mouth. A blunt force hammered into his chin as Renamon counterattacked before he could even get to attack. His head slammed into the wall. "Come on," the fox digimon says as she turns to the last two digimon, "Or you can drop your cloaks and run." Two cloaks cover her face as she listens to stepping running from her. Renamon turn to the biyomon. "You should leave here," she says as she pulls the cloaks from a digimon on the ground.
"Thank," Biyomon says before she start to take off.
Renamon sniff the cloak. She caught trying to get the rotting food odder from her nose. "They smell but they should work."
Moving quietly through the streets, Tai and the rest of them kept shooting nervous looks around the area as more and more digimons seemed to show up around them, all of them were wearing the same cloaks. "What's the idea with the cloaks; I've never seen any other digimons wearing them."
Rika, frowning at the messy haired boy's comment took the chance to look around more determined, increasing her frown as she spotted a poster on the wall. "Seems your dark side's been through here as well, he's ordered all digimons to wear cloaks as a show of alliance to him."
"It gets worse." Henry spoke out as he looked down a wider street, seeing the larger posters planted around the other buildings. "He's put out a new bounty on our heads, one million digi dollars for each of us."
They walk down the street. Those in cloak walk pass. While those not in cloaks step away letting them pass. Soon they left the city
"I know this place," Lopmon says.
"So what now?" Jeri ask
Rika lift up a poster. "This wanted poster also tells us how to get to them. We should attack them."
"That's sound good," Tai says, "It would be better to deal with this and then find Calumon."
"It would be fast if we didn't need to deal with this at all," Rika says.
"I didn't ask for this," Tai yell.
"Enough," Henry says, "We are still close to the city. Jeri and Suzy needs to learn about digi-modify."
"I could use some more cards," Tai says as he looks at his newer digivice.
"We could all use some time off." Takato mumbled out as he walked a bit faster to get up to the front of the group. "We've been on the run ever since we came here; it's making us all cranky."
Agumon nodding in agreement as he thought about it, the other goggle wearing boy had made some sense with his comment. "I agree, as things are, we're too much under attack, we need to relax before pressing on."
Shooting a quick look around, the small reptile digimon pointed a claw off to the left of them, noticing a farm house and barn a good deal away from them and the city. "There, that place over there looks fine; we can hide in the large building and relax."
"It is him." Ryo almost spat out as he looked at the group up ahead of them, hiding behind a tree while doing his best to keep Cyberdramon under control. "But how can Tai even be here, he should be back home in the other world."
