Altered Reverberations

Chapter 14 - Deal with the Deva

What's the point of life if your always so serious? - Gomamon (Who else?)

Joe and Gomamon had been working the past two days to heal Deva, the name Hazard had called her when he confronted Tai. Joe sat back in the chair in his apartment. "That's the last of it." He said out loud.

Gomamon hopped up onto her bed, and looked over her. "You know, for being part human, she's actually kind of hot."

"Actually, I think she's pretty young." Joe said, "She's about ten, I'm seventeen, almost eighteen."

"Uhhhh... Joe?"

"Huh?"

"I didn't say anything along those linesss... Oh...OH!" Gomamon started bursting out laughing, "You like her. Don't you!" he demanded.

"What! No. Gomamon, that's just sick." he told his digimon.

"Hmmm... I wonder, I mean it's fairly obvious that she has all the human parts to mate. I wonder if she also has the same kind of data running through her mouth that would allow me to mate with her." Gomamon said putting a hand on his chin.

"Gomamon."

"And what about last names, I mean, digimon don't have last names, but we've never had a crossbreed before this. Lets say she doesn't have a last name, does she take on a last name? Hmmm... Deva Kido..."

"Gomamon!"

"What about the child? I mean, what will it be like, will it be one quarter data, and have a less variety of attacks? Will it end up being a digi-egg, or will she get pregnant like a human."

"GOMAMON!" Jyou shouted standing up.

"Yes Joe?"

"That is quite enough." Joe said, then walked out of the room, a little red.

Gomamon stared after his partner. Gomamon had teased him about girls before, but he had always acted civilly, he had never gotten mad at him before this about girls. In fact he often joined in the joking. Gomamon looked over at Deva. What was it about this girl that made Joe so uneasy.

Gomamon walked over to near her head, and cried out as she grabbed him with her arm and ear, and brought him close to her. It wasn't done to hurt him, or anything like that, he could feel that she needed some comfort of some kind. Gomamon curled himself into a sleeping position, and lay next to her. She was so innocent and peaceful. Is that what it is? This girl, she's so much like Mimi, so pure and seemingly full of life. How could anybody do this to her? ... ... ... ...Maybe that's why Jyou was so picky... just maybe.

"Grow up, Deva. Your almost as old as we were when we first started dealing with Digimon." Kitsune snapped at her. Deva was taken back. "I don't need friends.. I don't need Hazard, I don't need Henry and I sure as in Baihumon's name don't need some whiny little kid who can't even take care of herself." Kitsune yelled at her.

Deva turned over in the bed, tears coming out of her sleeping eyes, when something snapped her out of her nightmare. "You alright?" a voice asked from a figure next to her. They're were three people, the first was a brown haired kid with a hairstyle that no one else but Taichi would be courageous enough to wear. Next to him was Sora, her hand resting on Deva's own, in comforting way. Then on the other side of the bed was Jyou. Down at her feet, Gomamon and Agumon sat on the bed while Biyomon perched on the top of Agumon's head.

The question had come from Sora's comforting mothering frame. Deva looked over at her, "Yeah... I'm alwight. Thank youw." she told them softly.

"Awww, no thanks needed. The chance to study such a rare creature as yourself was more then thanks enough." Gomamon said in a very nerdy style voice.

"Eh?" Taichi said looking over at the smaller digimon. He shook his head, "You do Koushiro better then Koushiro does."

"Prodigious!" Gomamon said sportingly, then turned to Deva, "So babe. What's you're story, any secret weaknesses I can use to slip my tongue in yours?" he asked flirtingly.

Suzie's puberty hormones hit Lopmon's take no crap attitude. The result was that Deva was startled for a second, then she smiled at the Sea Mammal, "Trust me, you wouldn't want to do that."

"Hey," Gomamon said raising his paws into the air, "I can live with mutant kids."

"Gomamon, you can have you're fantasies later." Taichi told him firmly, "As for now... Deva. My little sister has been taken, do you know anything about that?" he asked her.

The Lopmon's more serious side took over in Deva's brain, recognizing the worry for a loved one that Suzie's innocence hadn't provided her with. "I'm sorry." She said, none of her syllables slurred or mispronounced. "I don't know of anything. I was on a mission to get back Kitsune, the Elite form of Renamon and Rika. We were then given orders to capture any destined we could. My guess is that Hazard went on to try and find Kitsune." she told them. Her eyes went wide, "Oh, crap, Kitsune." she said. She got up on the bed, "I thank youw for youwr hospiwtatlity, but I wafte to find wer."

Taichi looked her in the eyes, "Give me one hour. I'm coming with you." he told her.

"Wha?" She asked startled.

"Look." Taichi said sternly, "My sisters out their, and you freaks are the only key to finding her. Trust me, if it weren't for that fact, you'd be dead already." he shot at her, before leaving.

Sora glared at her friend on his way out. "I'm sorry, Taichi's just really worried about Kari. He has no clue whats happened to her other then the words the other one gave him."

Deva said nothing, the thoughts in her mind were something else though, I am just a frweak. That all I am, a crwy babwy frweak.

"Please, Taichi's really not that bad. He just worries too much. He's very protective of the ones he loves." Deva's downtrodden eyes met Sora's comforting ones and a small smile crept to her lips as she remembered Suzie's own mother. "There, now are you hungry? I'm sure Jyou has some food stashed around here."

"I wouldn't be so sure that their's anything left after Gomamon went through." Jyou told them as he got up to find some food.

Gomamon smirked, then came back with his own comment, "And don't trust anything Jyou makes, he'll probably be thinking to much about Deva here and will burn it all."

Jyou glanced over and his eyes met his digimons and they just stared at each other. Finally Jyou smirked, "I win." He said, and went to go find some food.

"Baihumon it all. Why do I always blink first. I can never help but to Blink first, it's so frustrating I haven't ever been able to beat Jyou in a staring contest, and I can beat him in everything else." Gomamon vented.

"Don't you think you're either overreacting or being over competitive?" Sora asked the seal.

"No."

The rest of the group let out a small chuckle.

Kitsune landed on her feet, her nine tails spreading from out of her back. She snarled, "Is this all the power the great Azulongmon has. You're pathetic."

Azulongmon raised his head, his body already starting to turn to data, "What.. what are you." he gasped out.

Kitsune glared at him, "What does it matter? You're going to die anyways." she demanded of him.

Azulongmon and his fading core could come up with no answer before he blacked out. Kitsune walked over to him, "Pathetic." She said before whipping her tails around so that they slammed into the large digimon, forcing him to turn into data. She absorbed his data, relishing in it's power.

She fell to one knee. For all of her talk, he was an extremely hard digimon to beat. She had just come to find some answers, but the old fool would have none of it and turned her away. She rubbed on her fur covered thigh as her tails vanished back to one. Those blows hurt, or at least the four that he managed to land on her did. The large digimon's size became his biggest disadvantage, unable to keep up with her smaller size. Then again, she was also slowing down. She was still remarkably fast, but she was no longer invisible until she kicked it up to high speed, and she could only due that for ten seconds max.

She surveyed the area and the destruction, and then left. If Azulongmon didn't have the answers she needed, then she would just go to the next Sovereign, until she found out exactly who she was, and what was her purpose. The thrill of battle only filled that void for so long.

Ebemon glanced through his readings. He was not happy, not happy at all. Not only was Deva now out of his control, but information was being dumped, his perfect creations could no longer go the hyperspeed that they once could. They were still some of the fastest digimon out their, but no longer were they unmatchable.

He had been startled when he first noticed it. Each of his creations had started to run diagnostics on themselves, as they were losing lots of energy very fast, and they got rid of their most space taking room in their system. The extra RAM inserted into them.

Still, it was not as bad as it could have been. He still had Hazard, the most powerful of them all, and Light under his control.

He moved his body down to his lab. He smiled at the container. His latest project was coming along nicely. Very soon he would release the Red Goo back into the digital world. He smiled at the thought.

Black drained the last of his cup before setting it down. He, Dorumon and Ryudamon had tracked the location of the Tamers to this region. Other then that, he hadn't been able to get very far. This was their third night of staying at the inn, and his wallet was starting to feel mighty light. Dorumon and Ryudamon were sipping their own drinks, they had had a particularly nasty fight earlier that day and weren't talking to each other.

Black watched as a Gargomon came in. It was a digimon he hadn't seen here before, and might just have some information that he hadn't been able to get out of any of the other digimon. He lifted his eyes, straining to get a better look at the digimon in the Gun bearing adults hands. It was a small digimon, most likely Rookie and yet... suddenly it came to him. A rookie digimon who mouthed something a month ago across to him. Helping hand, or trying to repent. The Digimon had asked him.

He never did get a chance to respond to the digimon. The Impmon had gone to his room and locked the door. Black had been feeling odd, his thoughts pondering on the question. He had gone and taken out his anger on the local thugs in the town that night, before he went to bed late that night in one of the inns instead of going back to the X home.

He glanced over at the two digimon, who both seemed a lot more interested in having their Vaccine drinks then each other. "I'm going to try and get some more information." Black told them, and they looked over at him. He placed 120 bits on the table, "Don't spend all of it if you can help it, but I'd imagine a spaghetti dinner would do both of you good."

"Spaghetti?" Ryudamon asked incredulously, "Why the digital would we get Spaghetti."

"Haven't you two ever seen Lady and the Tramp?" Black asked them. They shook their heads, "Good, maybe you'll get some first hand experience." He told them mischievously. They both stared at him weird, then glanced at each and looked away with a humph.

Black walked towards the tall Gargomon. "Thank you." the Gargomon said to the innkeeper, before going up the stairs, key in hand. Black paused for a second. The voice had echoed. They're would only be two reasons for that. First, if the digimon was a Jogress, but somehow he doubted that. The other was if he had biomerged somehow. Black smiled, he had hit pave dirt finally.

Betamon X: Yeah, a chapter in this story, remarkable!

F.T: yeah, yeah. Anyways, since it has been awhile, I forget everything I was going to do with it and have been coming up with different ideas then I orgnially had, so some of the earlier chapters might be misleading as to were the story is going. However, I hope you enjoyed this, and I'll get another chapter out.

Gomamon: Eventually.

Lucas: Meh, we'll see how well this one hits.
