Digimon Tamers
The Changed Tamer Continuation.
Chapter 3.
Digital World- Mountain area.
Even though he has a normal life Ryo Akiyama still finds his way into the Digital World somehow.
With Cyberdramon at his side, he was wearing the clothes he wore when he was previously in this world. But with an added edition. He had on a metal rounded guard on his right shoulder, with a small camera attachment on top.
A thin cable leading to the lower half of a different kind of backpack, being like a casing on the lower, while the upper half was like an original material.
"Why did I agree to this again?" He merely asked himself quietly, hoisting the strap of the medium weighted bag.
They were investigating something after receiving a message from Hypno's on detecting strange energy readings not long ago. And as Ryo had more experience, also knowing a way of entering the Digital World, he was the one picked to go.
Taking with him one of the newly created gear as a surveillance way of helping out with things if there is any trouble. Using the right tools to create something similar as they did with the Ark when they surveyed what was going on during the D-Reaper attack.
This is one of the ways of which that the Hypno's in the Real World could help the Tamers when it comes to this sort of thing.
"It should be around here somewhere." He says, a hand placed above his eyes to see further into the night.
Until he spotted something far, but kind of sticking out.
Pointing in the direction of it with his other hand. "Lets try that thing over there, Cyberdramon!" Gaining a nod from the ultimate. Picking Ryo up and placing the Tamer onto his back before he flew off in the direction of where he pointed in.
Unaware of the strange feeling he was getting as he was getting much closer to it.
Real World.
"Gargo laser!" Gargomon exclaimed, letting loose a rapid fire attack from his right machine gun arm. Having Snipemon evade while in the air.
Henry at a safe distance had his D-Arc out trying to gain the details on the unknown Digimon. But only a gaining a picture with the words. DATA NOT AVAILABLE!
"What the... Not available? How can that be?" Henry asked as if the device would answer, but hearing the sounds of Snipemon opening fire on Gargomon got him to look up from it.
Moving away from the shot, then again almost causing the gun bunny to stumble.
Snipemon kept moving in the air to give Gargomon something to shoot at besides him.
Gargomon kept aiming with either one or both arms, getting nowhere.
FLASHBACK!- Digital World- Unknown area- ? Village.
"BlackRenamon, you are here on trial for the murder of the villages captain of the guard. That may have due to the Youko's influence within you. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"
Spoken out by a male Taomon sitting at a tall wooden podium, with another male on his right and a female on the left.
The room they were in was like a court room with witnesses seated around one side and a jury on the other. Consisting of Renamon's, Taomon and with Sakuyamon for guards.
The black furred creature stood at a stand, having her wrists cuffed with a material that saps her energy so she could not escape. On both her sides was a male and female Sakuyamon, their staffs crossed incase.
"I tried to explain, but none of the interrogators seemed to have been listening at the time." She quietly says loud enough for them to hear in a neutral voice, as if giving up hope in reasoning.
Her head was down along with her eyes, knowing that the one person she was hoping to be there, was not.
Thinking that like everyone else, she had abandoned her as well.
"The Taoists had extracted what we needed to see. It seemed you have had lost control after the captain and you had a dispute about something that could not be brought out clearly. But none the less, using the Youko's power proves a fact that you cannot be safe within the village around the inhabitants."
Hearing this from the other male Taomon on the left, it made Blare bring her head down, knowing what was to probably come.
"Therefore the jury will decide upon your fate, whether or not your life should be spared." Coming from the female.
END OF FLASHBACK!
Both foxes were grappled at the time when Blare had snapped out of it. Opening her eyes into a hard glare, her teeth were soon shown.
"You betrayed me, sister." Muttering the words with distaste on the last word. Jumping into a drop kick that struck Renamon in the chest, knocking her back and Blare into back flips after releasing her grip on her.
"What are you talking about? Do you know how long it took for me to find you and nothing! I thought something had happened to you, I left the village because of their damn reasons of you and...!"
"Enough talk, enough lies, just fight me!" Cutting her off with a yell.
Causing the yellow fox to clench her fists, thinking at the same time on what was wrong with her.
But Blare broke Renamon's thoughts by rushing in, letting both arms move at a fast pace. Going into a crossed block with both her guards up, for it to take the coming hits.
She quickly spun into a roundhouse kick to get her in the head. Except Blare must have saw it coming, as she caught it and easily tossed Renamon over her, sending her rolling.
Getting onto a knee then leaping into the air, facing her sister, or rather her opponent.
"Diamond storm!" Bringing in her arms and legs so that she could summon a number of glowing diamond shards infront of her.
Doing the same with her arms, calling on the four daggers. "Diamond daggers!"
Spreading her limbs to let hers fly, as Blare released her own and they shattered into the miniature versions. Both attacks had met in an explosion.
Letting loose a rapid fire assault from his gun. Guilmon ran as fast a he could to dodge them, taking cover behind a car, having it take the remaining shots.
Takato also took cover, trying to look up Mercendramons data, only to get the words. DATA NOT AVAILABLE!
"Huh? Thats odd, no data?" Being confused on why there wasn't any. Looking up from it to see how Guilmon was fairing.
After he had stopped firing, the dino made a quick dash for him. "Rock breaker!"
His right claw becoming covered in flames, leaping at the gun wielder into a slash. Mercendramon on the other hand simply spun out of the way. Bringing out his right leg in a swinging kick to the saurians back after he had passed.
Getting Guilmon to nearly trip. He spun round about to make his move, but was too late. Having the double barreled weapon in his face.
Seeing this made Takato reach for his card case, taking out a useful one. Flipping his Digivice, he swiped the card through the slot.
"Digi-Modify! Speed activate!"
Feeling the surge of energy, Guilmon speeds out of the way of the blast, slamming into Mercendramons side. "Pyro sphere!"
Launching a red sphere projectile that did no damage after it had made a direct impact. Mercendramon shot his fist out of the small smoke cloud, slamming into Guilmons chest.
Sending him flying onto his back with a roll. The daggers tail uncurls from his arm, being layed out like a whip.
"Heat tail." Allowing his chain to become a glowing heated red, having swung at Guilmon. He moves out of the way, not quick enough as it scraped on the side of his right arm.
Wincing at the slight sting from the heat induced scrape. "Pyro sphere!" Launching his attack at Mercendramon again, but had it blocked by the chain that seemed to be moving like a snake.
Takato knew he had to help somehow so he dug out a Digivolution card, seeing as how this guy seemed obviously stronger than a rookie.
Swiping it through the card slot like before.
"Digi-Modify! Digivolution activate!"
Guilmons body began to glow, his stinging pain leaving as he began to change.
"Guilmon digivolve too... Growlmon!"
Shattering to reveal a taller dinosaur with ruffled hair at the back of his head down part of his neck.
Staring up at Growlmon with an uninterested look. Growlmon drove a claw down at Mercendramon, simply jumping high to avoid it.
"Pyro blaster!" Calling out and launching a powerful fire ball from his mouth. Having it going for the target. Mercendramon called on his chain, taking the attack and slicing through it. Remaining in its heated state.
Magimon watched the whole thing separately, keeping his senses out on the one they were looking for.
"Snipemon is prevailing against the Gargomon. BlackRenamon's rage however seems to be increasing on fighting with the Renamon, if she keeps it up then. Oh well, I will ask about this later on. Hmmm. The one Mercendramon is against shows strength, but not enough it would seem."
SharRillamon was only staring at the magic user, listening carefully it would seem.
"Hm, none of them is showing what I need to sense... But there is one question though. I was told of a fourth Tamer, but I do not sense him anywhere around, unless."
Digital World- Mountain area.
Reaching their destination, what Ryo had pointed out was a pyramid shaped mountain, having a stone Henge like arch doorway.
"This is where the energy was coming from." He said, looking up at the size of it.
Both looked down the dark corridor, one was wondering what could be inside, while the other was letting out a snarl at it.
"Cyberdramon, whats the matter?" He asked his partner, now wondering upon his reaction.
Baring his claws with an intense glare, as if someone or something was going to jump out of the darkness.
"I feel something in there, Ryo. Something strong, but I can't tell what it is." He replied with, keeping up his reaction.
Digging through the backpack to take out a flashlight. Ryo said to his partner. "Then I guess we should take a look, right?" Before turning it on and both of them carefully making their way inside.
Real World.
Both fox punches had met each other while in mid air, followed by a knee at the same time. Blare though struck quick by knocking the wind out of her sister, using her other leg by planting it to her stomach.
Both landing away into a slide kneed crouch and with one stare, leaped at eachother again.
"Youko paw!" Blare cries out. Her right paw being engulfed in blue flames, along with half her arm. But around her fist turned into the form of what looked like a Kyubimon's head with white burning eyes.
Surprised at this move did not give Renamon time to use her own attack.
"Digi-Modify! WarGreymons brave shield activate!"
The shields appearance had gotten their attention. But Blare kept up her attack, slamming her flamed fist into it, spreading the flames out.
"This shield will not hold me back." Blare had said, her eyes beginning to glow a dark blue.
Sending power to her attack, intensifying it till the flames increased in size. Then came cracking sounds, that soon led to an explosion that had destroyed it.
Sending Renamon falling onto her back, dragging along a little. While Blare was face down, but had recovered quicker.
Both looking behind the black fox to see a relieved looking Alice, along with a slightly smirking Rika. Holding her Digivice with an already swiped card.
"Rika." Renamon had quietly said her partners name. Blare on the other hand had a displeasing frown.
"So you are a partner to one of the Tamers." Now turning her head to focus on the glaring sister. "Hard to believe, after all of fathers training."
She soon disappeared and reappears infront of Renamon, readying a punch. "You turned out to be a weakling, relying on a human." Sending forth her clenched paw.
But she had moved away with a backwards leap, stopping herself with a hand.
"Did you forget all those times back home? Where we trained day and night, hoping to become something like he was."
Baring her teeth at those words, thinking of them as an insult. "You leave our father out of this, Blare!" Dashing in with an outstretched arm.
As she was about to defend against it by grabbing it, Renamon had gone as soon as she was close. Suddenly having her sisters feet crossed round her neck from behind.
With a flip that brought not only brought Blare onto her back, but Renamon had moved quick. Getting on top to hold her by the shoulder and a fist made ready to strike.
"I haven't forgotten anything from our past sister." Was what she had told her.
With Gargomon not able to put a scratch on him, the Digimon had to go ultimate to get into the air after him.
"Rapid fire!" Calling out his attack as he launched a missile from both cannon arms. Snipemon simply stared, lowering his sniper arm.
"Laser gattlers!" His chest opens to launch 8 gray cone shaped missiles all together. Firing laser blasts on Rapidmons attack that made them blow, their next target was on the one that fired them.
"Whoa!" He yells, dodging shot after shot that came. Each missile flew in separate directions, firing a shot once in a while.
"Miracle missile!" Bringing in his arms and firing the missiles from his back launchers. The laser gattler missiles getting blown up, only three making it out of the assault.
Snipemon's right hand thinned into a blade, surrounding it with electrical energy, charging in on Rapidmon.
Seeing the downward swing, the green ultimate had moved sideways out of the way, just to get a spinning leg to the chest. Next came the blade that singed the armor at the front from the side.
"Oh no! Hold on Rapidmon!" He yells out, taking out a couple of useful card.
"Digi-Modify! Speed activate!" Quickly swiping the first one. Allowing Rapidmon to fly out of the way of the next swing.
Next came the second card. "Digi-Modify! Power activate!"
"Rapid fire!" Launching powered up missiles from his arms, making a successful impact from behind. "Gotcha!" He yells in a victory like tone.
It was short lived though, as a shot came from the smoke. Catching Rapidmon in the shoulder, taking a piece off.
"Aahhh!" Moving his arm to where he was hit.
"Rapidmon!" Henry exclaimed seeing that his partner was hurt.
"Pyro blaster!" Growlmon let loose his attack once more, proving ineffective against Mercendramon due to his speed.
Jumping high again with his gun aimed. He lets out a few shots, with one of them catching the dinosaur by the knee, getting him to drop onto it.
"Okay boy, lets give this a try." Takato said, taking his next choice of card in hand.
"Digi-Modify! Garurumons howling blaster activate!"
"Death impact!" Charging up for the single red ball, with a pull of the trigger it was off.
Aiming his head at the attack. "Howling blaster!" Letting out Garurumons attack, engulfing the ball. Causing the two to explode after it had pushed forth slightly.
Having Mercendramon fly off course onto his back, while Growlmon collapsed onto his side.
Having enough on being on the side lines. Takato rushed to his partners side seeing if he was alright.
"Growlmon, you alright?" He asked with concern.
Slowly getting up he had said to him midway. "Takato, get out of here. Hurry!" With Takato seeing that Mercendramon was making his way over to them, his gun being replaced by his sword.
Not thinking of running, Takato was instead searching through for a good card.
A dark aura surrounds Blare, along with a glow of her eyes. Giving her the power to knock Renamon off of her, flipping herself to her feet.
The aura still surrounding her body Blare was far from done from the looks of it.
Cupping her paws at her side, a ball of dark energy began to form. Renamon notices though that the energy her sister was releasing was of pure evil emanating from within her.
And Renamon knew what that evil was, making her eyes widen in surprise at the sight of it.
"Blare, when did you...!" What she began with was soon cut off by said sister yelling out.
"Surprised sister? You better be as this one is for you!" Thrusting them forward for the ball to be fired.
Seeing the ball would cause harm to Rika and Alice if she had to move, Renamon had stood her ground, waiting to take it. Hearing both girls cry out her name.
"Renamon!"
"Renamon get out of there!"
But she ignored them, allowing herself to take the attack than them. Rika on the other hand was not going to have it, taking out the right card for the job.
"Digi-Modify! Vaccine shield activate!"
An orange barrier appears around Renamon, taking the blast. But it only proved useless, as the attack cracks it, then explodes. Sending the yellow fox flying onto her back, with the shattered pieces becoming flying data bits.
Surprised came to Rika at the BlackRenamons power, having herself and Alice ask on what was the source of her power with that aura she was using.
The two remaining laser gattlers flew in from behind Rapidmon, one firing its lasers. Spinning out of the way, getting the second shot from the other. Catching the top of his right ear.
"Gaaah! These things are driving me nuts!" He yells out, trying to aim in frustration with one arm then the other. But they maneuvered quickly before he could fire.
Not paying attention to his real opponent, who was staring down at him infront of a building with a neutral gaze, yet it seemed he was unimpressed.
Having his still lightning blade activated, he took aim.
Barely able to see it Henry could tell it wasn't looking good.
Digital World- Mountain area- Pyramid mountain.
After managing to get through the labyrinth they had entered into, Ryo and Cyberdramon had made it to the center. Consisting of a big empty room, apart from the statues of the knights that circled the room. Illuminating it by the torches attached to the knees of each one.
All seemed to be gazing at what was in the center, placed on a stone pedestal was an old looking shield belonging to the medieval ages. But from the looks of it, it looked brand new.
On it was a pair of angel wings connected to a yellow triangle, in the middle of embedded inside seemed to be a dim mixture of red, black and white marble like sphere.
Standing to face in their direction.
Looking at the tall statues, Ryo had asked, walking over to one that seemed to be like Gallantmon.
"Cyberdramon, do you know these Digimon?" Keeping his sight on the familiar knight. Walking to his Tamers side with a nod. "These are the Royal Knights of the Digital World. Strong Digimon that kept the peace for years, until a dark day came that made them fall."
Folding his arms with a frown as he stared round at the others. "And you knew Takato and Guilmon, bio-merged into one of these Royal Knights?"
"They may possess the form of Gallantmon, but not the title or true power that the original held. If we had the form of one of the others, it would be the same." Speaking in a truthful way.
Seeing that Ryo was gone, Cyberdramon had to just turn round to see him making his way over to the shield.
"Ryo, I wouldn't go near that. That is where I sense the power coming from." Now turning serious with a growl to the object.
But he had spoke back continuing further. "Its alright, I doubt it could be that dangerous." Now standing infront of it.
Giving it a close inspection he moved round to see if there was anything special about it. When he got back to the front, his eyes met the marble like sphere as if drawn to take it.
Slowly reaching out to touch it, once he did, even by a slight graze.
A white lighted aura had surrounded it, having Ryo to step away. Not only the light but a silhouette figure of a long light blue haired smiling beautiful woman with a pair of closed angel wings had appeared above the shield.
Her body was encased in white so her face was the only thing that could be made out apart from her wings, hands clasped as if she were praying, with eyes closed.
Her pleasant face changed to a displeasing frown as if something were wrong. Causing her to snap her glowing white eyes open and releasing a deafening sound wave that emitted throughout the room.
Causing the gawking duo to cover their ears at the volume.
Real World.
As Magimon had thought this were over, he felt something pierce through his mind, causing pain through not just him, but the link he had established with the others.
Clutching his head at the time. "AARRRGGHHH!" Trying to shake it off but couldn't.
"Look out Rapidmon!" Henry yells out to him. Turning to face the direction where Snipemon was aiming at him with a charging up blade.
Before he could call out his attack, a small pulse entered his mind, followed by a stinging pain.
Making him lose control of his missiles and they had exploded into data.
Canceling the electrical current so he could place his only hand on the side of his head. Magimons voice was soon heard, struggling to say.
"Re... Regroup, now!"
So with no other choice because of the pain, Snipemon had called off his attack and began to fly off.
Rapidmon started to follow but Snipemon had turned to face him, opening fire with his sniper arm as a diversion. With it working after catching him in the leg.
Blare was walking up to Renamon as she was slowly getting to her feet, seeing both humans running to her side.
Then the stinging pain started to affect her, but she pushed on despite it, or at least tried to. Then the message came for her to regroup.
Staring behind her then back at her sister with a scowl. "Your lucky tonight Rena, but next time, don't be to sure." With a scoff at the three of them, mostly to Renamon.
Turning away from the trio before disappearing.
Mercendramon had raised his sword about to launch his attack. When he halted due to the pain that had came, but really had no real affect on him much.
After getting the message to regroup, he had narrowed his eyes at this. Staring at the two, seeing little confusion on them, asking him why he had stopped without words.
But he kept quiet and with an inner growl, attached his sword back to his belt after calling back his blade.
Giving one last glare before jumping high away, gaining great distance with just one jump.
Staring at the retreating Digimon, asking themselves what just happened?
"Takato, why didn't he finish us?"
"I don't know Growlmon. But something tells me, were going to see him again someday." Staring off with a serious look.
As the Tamers help their Digimon with their injuries, one thing was for sure, it felt like they had already lost their battles, despite their leave. Therefore it was only the beginning, with more to come, and with questions needing to be answered.
