Chapter 8: Digimon Train Of Dreams. A Hunter of Machines?:
In class a few weeks later Takato heard a boy named Kiichi talking about all the photos he's taken from different trips. All the kids are saying their fakes. But Takato thinks, 'This screams digimon.' After school Takato confronts Kiichi. He admits to being a Hunter and having a Trailmon as a partner. "I go on different trips at night on Trailmon. I've been taking other kids with me."
A few nights later Takato, Mikey, Ewan, Ren, and Tagiru all board Trailmon. Ren and the others all saw the kids in their pajamas. Mikey quipped, "So, tell me what's the destination tonight. The North Pole?" Everyone including Kiichi laughed. "Not quite. We're going to San Fransisco." About twenty minutes into the trip two female Pumpkinmon and a Doggymon are distributing some different snacks. Takato had giggled, "I had thought he would take the Polar Express thing and use it with the tap dancing waiters." Kiichi laughed, "I had considered it a few times. But eventually I decided against it."
About a week later Kiichi and the others are looking sick and tired. Takato is very worried. She asked Kiichi after class, "Have you even slept at all?" Kiichi shakes his head. Takato sighed, "Kiichi can't you please consider regulating the trips so that everyone including yourself can get the rest they need?" Kiichi gets angry at Takato and storms off.
Later on Kiichi is found again by Takato. She had Tagiru and Ren with her. Kiichi's seen crying. Takato asks,"Kiichi what's wrong?" Kiichi says, "Another Hunter took Trailmon from me." Tagiru looks at Ren. He replies, "Hey it wasn't me. Did you get a good look at the Hunter?" Kiichi nodded. "He had a black Fusion Loader with Red for the trim instead of silver and white. He had black hair and crimsion eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt with red sleeves, black pants, and black sneakers with red stripes. He said Trailmon would make a fine addition to his collection of Machine Digimon. I just want my partner back!"
Takato said, "We'll help. But promise me that you'll do what I suggested please. I don't want to see a friend end up in the hospital because they didn't take care of themself." Kiichi said, "Deal." Ren said, "Okay, now that we have at least a general idea of what he looks like. How do we find him?" Takato had a look on her face. "We think like him. He likes Machine Digimon right? Well, what sort of places have a lot of machines?" Tagiru said, "Factories!" Takato smirked, "Exactly. I'd be willing to wager he'd be in the industrial district. Namely near all of those old factories."
Takato said, "We need to make one quick stop at my place. He thinks he can tame a partnered digimon? I'll show him how a real tamer does business." Ren caught the look in her eyes. This was Takato in her element. Doing what she does best. Kiichi, Ren, Tagiru, and Takato went to the Matsuki home. Tagiru explaining the situation to Takato's mom. Kiichi was surprised Takato's parents knew. Takato came down with her red and white D-Arc clipped to her belt, a deck box that held her Digimon cards, and for the first time in over three years her yellow goggles in their proper place in her hair.
She had Gigimon too. Along the way Takato says, "Veemon has been working with Gigimon so he can digivolve to his higher levels. He can get to ulitmate again. Mega is a work in progress." The others nod. The four Hunters enter the Digi Quartz and see the boy laughing. Takato says, "Oi! Give us back Kiichi's Trailmon. Or else!" The boy laughs, "What no 'who are you?' For the record my name is Kenshin Shino." Tagiru growled, "It doesn't matter. Give Kiichi his Partner back." Kenshin said, "No I'd rather not." Ren bolted towards Kenshin and nailed him with a right hook that broke his nose.
Kenshin grabbed Ren and threw him across the room. Takato snarled, "Gigimon get ready." Setting up her D-Arc she did the last thing Kenshin and Kiichi thought possible, "DIGI-MODIFY! MATRIX DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!" Gigimon glowed Gigimon Matrix Digivolve to WarGrowlmon! Takato smirked, "WarGrowlmon. Cyborg Dragon digimon. Virus type. Ultimate level. Try your best Kenny." Kenshin growled. No onecalled him Kenny. "Machinedramon reload." Takato angry said, "WarGrowlmon don't play around. Just handle him." In a gruff voice WarGrowlmon said, "Yes my lady." Machinedramon was beaten and forced back into Kenshin's Fusion Loader. Every machine type digimon he had was forced back in his Fusion Loader after battling WarGrowlmon. He was forced into using Trailmon.
Ren grabbed him from behind before Kenshin could download Trailmon's data back into his Fusion Loader. Kiichi was able to get Trailmon back. Kenshin asked, "How do you have two digivices? How can you even tame an ultimate level virus cyborg type digimon?" WarGrowlmon had reverted to Gigimon. Takato said, "I have two digivices because fate enjoys being a bitch. Gigimon was a digimon that I had created. It's only natural that I can do so as I can. Besides, Gigimon and all his forms hold the Digital Hazard. I am the Tamer of the Digital Hazard. I'm the only one who can ever tame Gigimon. You will face the demon dragon of the Hazard, Megidramon if you attempt this on anyone else. Do I make myself clear?" She snarled out the last part pouring KI and the power of the Hazard into her glare. Kenshin pissed his pants and said, "Crystal clear. No more hunting partnered digimon."
A few days later, Takato saw Kiichi. He was looking a lot better. During free period she found him. "Hey Kiichi." He smiled, "Hi Takato. How's Gigimon?" The dino in question popped out of her school bag and greeted him. "As you can see, he's fine. We managed one mega form Megidramon. Gallantmon his second mega form is what we're working on next." Kiichi laughed as Gigimon rolled around on the lawn. He asked, "Is Megidramon really as bad as the legends say?"
Takato laughed and said, "Honestly? Not really. A pair of corrupted Royal Knight digimon, Crusadermon and Dynasmon were working with a digimon named Lucemon. He was the Demon Lord of Pride. He wanted the power of the Digital Hazard to rule unchecked in the Digital World. That doesn't mean all Lucemon are bad though. Just yesterday I had hunted one and he is very funny. He's more of a gamer and he has a bad fixation with redvines. In reality Megidramon was angered Crusadermon and Dynasmon deleted his little brother Gallantmon to try to obtain the Hazard. Megidramon had absorbed his brother's data to keep the Hazard out of Lucemon's grasp. When Megidramon was deleted he had asked his best friend Golddramon, who was the older brother of Magnamon, Gallantmon's best friend to send his and Gallantmon's data into the future so they could choose a suitable host for the Power of the Hazard. After many digi-years of wandering, they chose me."
Kiichi nodded, "I can understand wanting to protect one's family. My cousin Mimi Tachikawa is the same way. She's a wonderful and very sincere person. I'm sure you would like her if you two ever met." Takato asked, "How are you doing these days?" Kiichi smiled at his friend, "A lot better since I started regulating my trips. I hate to admit it but, you were right." Takato wrapped her arm around Kiichi in a hug and said, "I wouldn't be a very good friend if I didn't look out for you Kiichi." Kiichi laughed but returned the hug. Takato actually started singing.
You've been such a good friend
I've known you since I don't know when
We've got lots of friends
But they come and go
Even though we've never said it
There's something that the two of us both know
Together forever no matter how long
From now until the end of time
We'll be together and you can be sure
That forever and a day
That's how long we'll stay
Together and forever more
Always gone that extra mile
Depended on ya all the while
Even in the good and bad times
You will see
From now until our journey's end
You can always count on me
Together forever no matter how long
From now until the end of time
We'll be together and you can be sure
That forever and a day
That's how long we'll stay
Together and forever more
No matter where our destiny leads
I'll be ther for you
Always come through
And that you can believe
Together forever no matter how long
From now until the end of time
We'll be together and you can be sure
That forever and a day
That's how long we'll stay
Together and forever more
Together forever no matter how long
From now until the end of time
We'll be together and you can be sure
That forever and a day
That's how long we'll stay
Together and forever more
Together forever no matter how long
From now until the end of time
We'll be together and you can be sure
That forever and a day
That's how long we'll stay
Together and forever more
Together
Kiichi smiled, "Thanks for being there for me the other day Takato. Your a really great friend." Takato hugs Kiichi full on, "No problem dude. That's what friends are for." The two head to class. After school Christopher walks up to his girlfriend an says, "I saw what you did for Kiichi. You did the right thing. Though the glare you gave Kenshin was awesome from what Ren told me. I doubt that I could ever manage what you did."
Takato giggled, "I don't doubt it. Considering I used KI and the Hazard to scare him so bad he pissed his pants." Christopher laughed. "That would easily do it." Hand in hand the two lovers walked off the school campus.
