Tamer of the Hazard Test Version 1

by DevilKeys Writing

Discontinued. An alternate universe in which the battle between Megidramon and Beelzemon had gone a different way. Megidramon had won, but Guilmon was destroyed. Takes place two years after that, the Tamers are now fifteen. Rated M for later chapters.

6. Enter The Void

And here we are at chapter six of this wonderful little story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, but the OC's and the OOC personalities are all mine.

Speaking of OCs, Takato's Champion form will be revealed/described in this chapter, but he may not truly appear for at least two more chapters.

NOW ON WITH THE STORY!!

Shark Tooth Bullet: 270 per direct hit

Health Points: 4000

Defensive Power: 1450

Speed: 680

EXP: 120,000'

'So basically this thing is a stronger version of the original. Same basic attacks and everything.' Takato thought,

'Right. It's still weakened since it digivolved out of desperation, and its speed hasen't increased all too much because of its weight. But it's more powerful now, so one hit and it's over for us.'

'Ah, so no pressure, eh?'

MetalSamemon grinned, though it was restricted by its armor. "So, Hybrid, what do you think of my Ultimate level?"

Takato just shrugged, indicating he didn't care, which enraged the shark.

"I'll show you!! DEPTH CHARGE!!" MetalSamemon tilted its head back, and, by extention, its entire body, then flung it forward, releasing a large, shark-shaped grenade.

'Shit! It's a real torpedo this time!' Takato avoided the explosive just in time, but it still detonated fairly close to him.

MetalSamemon then charged forward, about to attempt to eat Takato again. But this time its teeth began moving like a chainsaw inside its mouth, so there was no chance of Takato holding it this time.

'Damn, I don't think I can avoid this.'

'You've got one chance, you have to tranform into your digimon form!' Nyako said frantically.

'I don't know how, but I'll try anyway.' Takato closed his eyes and concentrated.

He opened his eyes and saw he was in an odd room that was lit by candles. He looked around until he focused on the dark shadows in the back of the room. He could see two glowing, red eyes staring back at him.

"Voidmon?" Takato ventured.

The eyes went down and then up again, showing a nod.

Takato sighed in relief. "So, shall we?" he walked up and held out his hand.

The eyes looked at Takato's hand, then back at him. A large clawed hand came out of the shadows and took a hold of Takato's and shook it. The shadows suddenly expanded to devour all light in the room, and Takato as well.

Takato's eyes snapped open and he was covered in a bright light.

MetalSamemon turned away from his prey and grunted in pain, wishing he had hands to rub his eyes to clear the spots.

"DIGITAL SHIFT!!" Takato shouted the words that came to his mind.

His body began to grow and change. He was covered in black armor and he grew to seven feet tall, then he sprouted a long tail and a helmet covered his head.

"VOIDMON!!" the light exploded outward, further blinding the metallic fish digimon.

"AHH, what the hell?!" MetalSamemon shouted as he shook his head to regain his sight.

Voidmon looked at his hands and his tail. "Nice." he chuckled when he realised that digimon seemed to be able to talk in all environments. He looked at the metal shark in front of him. "Are you ready, sardine can?"

(A/N: I am totally serious about this, digimon can talk in all environments, at least to yell out attacks. I've seen the old episodes where they were underwater and still called out attacks. Even if they are panting and out of breath, they still manage to shout! It's freaky as hell, but also quite cool, in my opinion.)

The shark roared and surged towards its opponent. This Hybrid was no longer prey, it was an enemy.

'Digimon: Voidmon

Speed: 580, environment restricting movement' Nyako said.

Voidmon swam to the side with ease, moving like an eel through the water with powerful flicks of his tail. (A/N: For those of you that have seen Alien Resurrection think of how the Xenomorphs/Aliens swam and you'll get the idea.) MetalSamemon passed by harmlessly.

"You're really starting to piss me off!" the shark said.

Voidmon just laughed. "So? It's fun." he charged dark energy into his hand and formed another barbed spear. "DARK JAVALIN!!" he tossed it at the shark and it hit dead-on, but bounced off of the super-hard armor.

MetalSamemon just laughed at his attempt. "Foolish Hybrid, my armor is one hundred times harder than steel, you have no hope of harming me!" he slowly and methodically circled Voidmon.

Said digimon watched the shark's every movement, watching for signs of an attack.

The shark suddenly jerked towards him and its bladed fins began to glow bright yellow.

"SURFACE CUTTER!!" with an unexpected burst of speed, MetalSamemon lunged forward.

But Voidmon was relatively ready for the attack and quickly swam to the side, but the current from something that big moving that fast spun him around and disoriented him.

"Shit." Voidmon muttered, he had lost track of the shark. 'Nyako, can you get a reading on him?'

'Sorry, that armor he has is jamming the signal. I'm as blind as you are right now.'

"Damn." he caught a glint out of the corner of his eye.

MetalSamemon's armor may have been quite dull, but the blades on the fins were ridiculously shiny. All Voidmon had to do was stay close enough to the surface for sunlight to get through.

Voidmon spotted little specks of light coming from the direction of the glint he saw.

"What the hell?" he muttered.

"SHARK TOOTH BULLET!!" MetalSamemon called out as the little specks of light came speeding forward.

Voidmon didn't even have time to react before the little light bullets hit him. The first few were dead-on, but he managed to dodge the last few.

'Fuck that hurt!' he mentally snarled. He charged dark energy into his hand and shot a black lightning bolt at the shark. "BLACK FURY!!"

The bolt hit the shark, but it, too, bounced off harmlessly.

"Hah!" MetalSamemon laughed. "That barely stung! Since you are the first of a new kind, I thought you would be stronger! You're like a Rookie compared to me!" mentally MetalSamemon growled, that last attack actually hurt quite a bit.

Voidmon scowled. "Actually, I am a Rookie level digimon." he smirked a little as he could see the shark's surprise.

'WHAT?! He's too powerful to be a Rookie!' the shark thought. He had to finish this quickly before the Hybrid digivolved. "DEPTH CHARGE!!"

The explosive projectile sped towards its target, but Voidmon just swam around it.

"Your aim sucks, fish cake." Voidmon mocked.

MetalSamemon snarled furiously. "I'LL OBLITERATE YOU!! SHARK TOOTH BULLET!!" the shark opened its mouth almost a full 180 degrees and its teeth began to spin again while glowing yellow. The teeth shot out at Voidmon, once again, a dizzying speeds.

'So that's how he does that.' Voidmon thought as he dodged the poorly aimed "bullets".

He noticed that the projectiles stayed in an almost perfect oval shape and went straight forward. If something was small enough to stay within the oval it wouldn't get hit. Another downside to the attack was that the shark couldn't see its target with its mouth open like it was. This led Voidmon to conclude that MetalSamemon relied solely on the speed of the attack to catch its opponents off guard.

Voidmon took a big risk and charged his Black Fury attack, aiming at the shark's still gaping jaws. It seemed he refused to stop firing until he either ran out of energy or hit his target.

"BLACK FURY!!" the bolt shot out.

But what Voidmon didn't know was that MetalSamemon could launch two attacks at once.

"DEPTH CHARGE!!" just as the torpedo was about to leave its mouth, the black bolt connected with it, blowing up in its jaws. "ARGH!!"

"Yes!" Voidmon cheered.

MetalSamemon glared at his enemy with unbridled anger. "You haven't won yet!" he knew that his Shark Tooth Bullet was disabled now, as was the chainsaw mechanism in his jaws.

Voidmon knew that it battle wasn't over yet, he still needed a way to get through the shark's armor. He had an idea, it was a longshot, but it was an idea.

'Thermal expansion! If I can get his armor hot enough, then it might crack when it's cooled by the water.'

'But, while you're underwater, your Optic Heat attack won't be enough to do it.'

'I know, I have to get him out of the water, but how?...I got it!' Voidmon saw MetalSamemon turn to swim back into the shadows and regroup. There, he saw his chance.

Voidmon charged his energy and formed it into a chain. "DARK CHAIN!!" he tossed it at the shark and snagged its tail.

"What?!" MetalSamemon looked back when he found he couldn't move.

Voidmon began to spin in the water, taking MetalSamemon with him. He spun faster and faster until he figured he had enough momentum, then he flung the shark up towards the surface.

(Back At The Beach)

The onlookers were in silent awe as they watched explosion after explosion rock the surface of the water, turning it into salty foam. Then a massive shark broke the surface a flew into the air, thrashing all the way.

Meanwhile the Tamers were on edge.

"I know that's a digimon, but it's not one I've ever seen before." Renamon said.

The others turned to her. "How do know it's a digimon?" Kazu asked, sometimes they wondered just how low his I.Q. was.

"How many sharks in this world are twenty-five feet long, covered in armor and can scream?" Renamon retroted.

Terriermon's ears perked up and his eyes widened. "Woah, it IS screaming." he said.

They turned back to the airborn shark only to see two red lazers blasting it higher into the sky.

(Back To The Battle)

MetalSamemon was in intense pain as his armor was heated to insane temperatures. Then the lazers stopped and he fell into the water. But the sudden heating then cooling of his armor caused it to crack.

Voidmon could see a large crack in the sharks side and aimed for it. "BLACK FURY!!" the bolt struck and blasted off more armor, which turned into data and was absorbed by Voidmon.

(A/N: For those of you wondering why Voidmon doesn't need to breath, remember when Nyako said that Samemon was constantly losing data? Well the data was being absorbed by Voidmon without him knowing it, but, instead of energizing him, it filled his lungs. And I really don't think that digimon lose air when they shout out attacks, because even when they're tired and panting they can still do it. MetalSamemon is also losing data, but it's almost unnoticable to him. And since Voidmon is a Rookie, data from a Ultimate gives him a larger boost, which means more air.)

MetalSamemon screamed in agony, then went limp and just floated there. He weakly looked at Voidmon and chuckled.

"You are strong, I'll give you that."

Voidmon looked at him. "I've never heard of your species before, are you new?"

The shark gave a weak nod. "Yeah, we were just recently created, and I'm not the only one in this world, there are two others."

Voidmon grimaced at this. "Great."

"Heh, I can barely believe it, I finally make it to Ultimate level, only to be beaten by a Rookie. In the water no less!" he chuckled bitterly.

Voidmon made another Dark Chain. "I'll make it quick."

"Thanks." the shark said as it closed its eyes.

Voidmon wrapped the chain around the shark until its entire body was covered. "CHAIN DESTRUCTION!!" every link of the chain that was around MetalSamemon exploded, taking the shark with it. Quick and painless, just as Voidmon had said.

Voidmon absorbed the data that floated out of the black cloud of smoke. 'Well, that was fun.' he thought sarcasically.

He swam to the surface and took a huge breath. Data air was fine for a while, but he liked breathing better. He saw the people on the beach watching him and he frowned.

"No way in hell am I going on the beach like this." he said, then dove under and swam for another part of the beach with less people.

While he swam Nyako beeped.

(A/N: I'm taking a kind of video game approach to the level system, which means it's going to be pretty random, like an RPG.)

'Cool. Digital Shift!' Takato went back to his human form before he surfaced, but was met with a sight that almost made him wish he had been eaten by Samemon.

He had surfaced on the part of the beach where the Tamers were.

'GODDAMMIT!!' he raged in his mind, but on the outside he showed no visible reaction to their presence.

Takato looked at himself, it seemed that after his shift back to human form his clothes had been repaired. The cut in his pants where Samemon had bit him, his destroyed gloves were back in place and he was fully healed. But there was one problem.

"Ah great, now I have to go home with wet clothes." he grumbled.

"Hey Takato!" a voice rang out.

Said teen turned to the owner of the voice only to see the Tamers looking at him with critical eyes.

"What do you want?" he said in the monotonous voice he used when addressing them.

"We hear you went to go fight a shark, that true?" Rika said with her arms crossed.

Takato looked at her. "Yes, if you must know. I guess I was the only one with balls big enough to do what had to be done." he smirked at the glares he recieved.

Ryo scoffed. "Yeah right."

Takato looked at him. "What was that, fairy boy? Why don't you ask your mom just how big my balls are?" Takato challanged, but he wasn't done yet. "Oh wait, I've got her on speed-dial." Takato pulled out his phone, which he kept inside of a waterproof pouch on his belt.

Everyone's eyes widened as he pressed a few buttons and the phone rang.

"I'll put it on speaker for you." he smirked again.

"Hello?" came the voice of Ryo's mother on the other line.

"Hey Ayame, how are you today?" he asked.

"Takato? I'm fine, how are you?" Ayame Akiyama asked in a low seductive voice.

"Mom?!" Ryo shouted.

"Ryo?!...Oh...This is awkward..." she then hung up and Takato snapped his phone shut while grinning.(A/N: The thing with Ryo's mother will be explained later, and it's not what I've made you think it is.)

The others decided to ignore this for a minute and get back to their questioning.

"So, what was with the explosions and the lazers?" Rika asked.

"I really don't see how that's any of your business."

"It's our business when it involves digimon!" Kazu shouted.

"Can it, Gaylord." Takato said, not breaking eye contact with Rika.

"What was that?!" Kazu stepped up and grabbed Takato's shirt, earning himself a punch in the face and an early bedtime.

"No touching." Takato still had yet to look away from Rika's eyes. "How is it your problem when I took care of it?" he asked.

No one answered his question. "How, exactly, did you 'take care' of it?" asked Ryo, seemingly forgetting the whole thing with his mom.

"Again, none of your business." then he smirked as Rika finally turned away. "Hmph, I don't even have a digimon, and yet I'm still doing your jobs for you. Pathetic." he then brushed passed them, making sure to "bump" into Ryo, sending him to his ass in the sand.

He walked over to the child he had saved. "Are you sure you're alright?" he asked her.

She nodded. "Thank you, sir." she bowed to him.

Takato ruffled her hair. "No problem. I'm Takato Matsuki by the way." he introduced himself.

The girl smiled. "I'm Sarah Hashiga."

Takato nodded, then noticed a guy with standard lifeguard clothes standing off to the side with an ice cream cone. He walked up to the man.

"Yo, you the the lifeguard stationed here?" he asked.

The man nodded to the boy that was taller than him by a good six inches. "Yeah." then last thing he saw before it all went black was fist coming towards his face.

"What the hell is up with me doing everybody's fucking jobs for them today?" Takato muttered before he walked over to his duffle bag and began the trek home.

Back with the Tamers, no one seemed to pay any attention to the downed Kazu.

"Something's not right." Rika muttered.

"Yes, I fear that Matsuki isn't a normal human anymore." Renamon said.

"What do you mean?" Rika asked her partner.

"He smells like a digimon now." she said.

"So has has a partner again?"

"No, he smells like he IS the digimon."

Rika stared in the direction that Takato went. "It looks like we're going to be questioning Takato again." she turned to look at a pissed Ryo. "By ourselves."

Renamon nodded, she knew damn well that if everyone went, there would be violence and maybe some casualties.

(Back At Takato's Place)

Takato walked in the door soaking wet and grumbling about "nosey ass motherfuckers".

The voice of Lillymon came from around the corner in the hallway. "You shouldn't curse so much when there are children here."

Takato's eyebrow twitched at this. "I was almost eaten, I have the right to be angry!"

Lillymon came from around the corner and stopped when she saw a soaked Takato. She began laughing and leaned on the wall for support.

"What...happened to...you?!" the digimon was in tears now.

Takato, being soaking wet with a highly disgruntled look on his face, was actually a pretty funny sight. Kind of like a cat that was forced to take a flea bath.

Takato just glared at the now rolling Lillymon and sighed, then walked upstairs. When he got to his room he saw Calumon playing around with his collection of cards.

The white digimon looked up at the teen. "Did you have a good time at the beach?"

All Calumon got was a slow turn of the head and a look that promised pain if he said on more word. Unfortunately for Calumon, he was quite slow when it came to taking hints, no matter how obvious they were.

"It didn't go too well, did it?"

Takato's right eye twitched violently and he growled, then he launched himself at the creampuff of a digimon.

If anyone had been watching outside they would have seen cards flying up into the air, and they'd have heard high pitched screams and something that sounded like a cross between a disgruntled postal worker and a lion.

After Calumon's beat down, we see said digimon tied up and hanging from a ceiling fan Takato had installed himself. Takato flipped the switch on the wall by the door and the fan started to spin, gradually gaining speed.

Lillymon walked in to see what all the commotion was. "You know, one of two things is gonna happen. Either he's going to like that, or he's going to blow chunks all over your room." she said while drinking a can of Mountain Dew.

Takato's eyes widened and he immediately stopped the fan and tossed the still tied up Calumon out the door and into the hallway.

He turned back to Lillymon. "Alright, now you go do whatever it is that you do, I'm going to go change clothes and start on some more drawings." Takato walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

Lillymon tried the doorknob, then shrugged when it wouldn't turn and left the room to find BlackGuilmon. She could have broken it, but then Takato would be pissed, and that would be considered invasion of privacy, if not breaking and entering.

After he had changed, Takato sat down at his desk and brainstormed. He pulled out his notebook and began drawing his Champion form.

He took some of Megidramon's features and mixed them in with a digimon named BurningGreymon from the third season of the Digimon show. The large dragon that he drew had the body similar to a human's and wore red armor with red vein-like channels going through it, sort of like Nyako's true form. Its hands were similar to Voidmon's gauntlet-like claws, but were longer and sharper. There were four "V" shaped vents on each forearm that allowed the intense heat that the dragon radiated to escape, thus heating the air around him to temperatures that were unbearable to most living things. The shoulder pads each had one long spike on the top of them, and connected to the creature's chestplate. The chestplate itself covered half of the digimon's torso and had the Digital Harzard symbol right in the center, which had the "veins" spider-webbing outward over the rest of the armor that was connected to it.

The digimon's leg armor covered its legs completely, making it look almost mechanical. Each foot had three sharp claws, four spikes running up the shinguards to the kneepads, which had a large blade at the top of them. The kanji for "Fire" was drawn on many different places on its body. One on each bicep, on each thigh, one large one on its back, and another on the blade that made up the tip of its tail.(A/N: For those of you that have played Resident Evil 4, it's like Verdugo's tail, the thing that you fight in the sewer that attacks from the ceiling and looks like Xenomorph from the Alien series.)

Its head was very reminiscent of Megidramon's; with the vicious, unforgiving look; and the razor-sharp, interlocking teeth. Finally Takato drew two long white horns on its head the pointed forward like a bull's, and two massive, bat-like wings on its back that had quite a few holes in them(A/N: Classic dragon wing design. To let air through, reducing drag and keeping the wings from being torn up, or being knocked off course because of too much lift.), and three large claws on the wing's "wrist" joint.(A/N: For a better description think of Bahamut from Final Fantasy 9, Google it if you don't know)

Takato sighed and slouched back in his chair, he was done with the artwork, now he needed a name, some attacks, and the stats. He looked over to the wall on the far side of the room and saw a picture he took with his family on a trip to see a volcano.

Then a name hit him and he smiled as he wrote it down.

"'Voldramon'? That's pretty cool." Nyako complimented.

'You think so? Now that I think about it, he does seem like a volcano in some ways. Now, on to attacks...'

(One Hour Later)

It took a while to think of attacks that weren't already taken, but Takato and Nyako managed. This is what they had so far:

Volcano Flare: Voldramon unleashes a massive fireball from his mouth.

Dragon Break: Voldramon concentrates heat energy into his fists and punches enemies.

Hell's Wind: Voldramon uses his wings to send a powerful gust of superheated air at enemies.

Meltdown I: Voldramon closes the vents in his armor and collects massive amounts of heat energy, then releases it all at once, effectively destroying anything within the blast zone.

Blast Radius: Voldramon flies into the air and launches a fireball at the ground, which causes a wave of fire to spead across the surface.

Searing Scythe: Voldramon uses superheated claws to slash at enemies, can also be used with his tail blade.

Takato leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. 'Now that that's done. Nyako, you got the stats together?'

"Yep, here they are:

Digimon: Voldramon

Level: Champion

Type: Dragon Warrior

Attribute: Virus

Element: Fire

Volcano Flare: 1500

Dragon Break: 960

Hell's Wind: 1250

Meltdown I: 5000 (A/N: This move takes a long time to charge, so it can't really be used effectively unless the opponent is bound or distracted somehow.)

Blast Radius: 1700 /w direct hit from fireball, 990 from the fire wave

Searing Scythe: 1100

Health Points: 7950

Defensive Power: 1300

Speed: 540 on the ground, 680 when flying.

There you go, all done. What do you think?' Nyako finished.

Takato grinned. "Awesome."

The digimon was perfect, in his eyes. He just hoped he never had to use it in the presence of the other Tamers, the Hazard on the chestplate would be a dead giveaway.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Revised on July 20, 2008

FINALLY!! I'm finished with the revisions, and I can finally start serious work on the next chapter!

In my stories, Wild Ones attack things when they come through because they are losing data as a result of breaking through the barrier between worlds. They aren't used to the human world yet, so they try to regain their loat data any way they can. There are digimon, like Calumon, the Tamer's partners, and Lillymon, that are allowed to come through, so they don't lose data. But, if a Wild One is left in the human world for long enough, they will be able to stay without any adverse effects.

Now to explain why I made Voldramon so powerful in comparison to Voidmon. Same as with the huge differences in power with the Beast and Human Spirits in Digimon Frontier. Takato won't get any forms beyond that for a LONG time, so I wanted to give him a decent trumpcard when BlackGuilmon isn't around to help. What you've all seen so far are Digimon that are relatively weak compared to others of their kind. The stronger ones are coming soon, and some will make even Voldramon seem like little more than a winged salamander.

Jason Out!
