Arc 2 Ch 7
Kayden enters the gateway which teleports him to the middle of a small bustling city. The city was full of virus-type digimon, skyscrapers, apartments, restaurants, small shops, dark alleyways, and a mechanic shop with various other training spots made for digimon including a large arena.
A lopmon looks up at him with large eyes and a dumbfounded face, "It's THAT Kayden!"
Kayden, while holding his friend in the box Wizardmon made for him, says "Uh… is there another Kayden?"
A crowd of digimon start to gather around him. The digimon are of various ages but all of them are virus types, they whisper among themselves with the name 'Reikyu' and 'Son of Reikyu' being the main discussion.
A Blkgatomon whispers, "I can't believe it! The heir... is here!"
A goblimon shouts, "Long live Reikyu! Hail to the son!"
More digimon start to chant, "Reikyu! Reikyu! Long live Reikyu!"
A loud voice shouts out, "Silence! Disperse!". All the digimon scatter into different directions until it's only Kayden, Wizardmon and a Blkagumon. The Blkagumon approaches them slowly as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Blkagumon tackles him with a bear hug, "I haven't seen you since you were this small! Do you remember me? Gosh... it feels like decades since that day" Blkagumon starts to tear up.
Kayden thinks for a moment and shakes his head, "No I don't". Blkagumon gives a sad look and then perks up like he has an idea. He grabs his hand and drags him to the large arena leaving wizardmon behind, "Maybe this will jog your memory!". They enter the arena where bright lights focus on two digimon fighting in what looks like a boxing ring, surrounded by empty seats. It was like a miniature coliseum. Blkagumon points to a Blkgrowlmon in the arena.
Blkgrowlmon is fighting a Nanimon who taunts him, "Yea, you can't take these fists of fury!" Nanimon lets out a power punch. Blkgrowlmon roars, "All head and no brains". Blkgrowlmon uses 'plasma blade' sending nanimon out of the arena. Blkgrowlmon roars louder, "I need a stronger opponent!"
"Hey!" Blkagumon shouts at Blkgrowlmon who doesn't acknowledge him. Blkgrowlmon roars, "You are all weak cowards!" Blkagumon jumps in digivolving into Blkgreymon, "I was talking to you! Don't ignore me!"
Blkgrowlmon snorts, "make me you old Zwart!" Blkgreymon growls, "We're the same age!"
Blkgrowlmon shakes his tail at him, Blkgreymon is offended by the gesture. He charges at Blkgrowlmon who dodges by jumping in the air, "dragon blade!". Blkgrowlmon shoots down with his blades, Blkgreymon expected as much and used, "dragon tail". Both collide and a powerful rumble can be felt by the sheer force. Blkgrowlmon relentlessly attacks him with all he's got from fangs, to blades and claws. Blkgreymon deflects them with ease. Blkgrowlmon starts to lose vigor and hesitates as he regains MP. Blkgreymon, picks him up then tosses him out of the ring following up with a slam with his full body weight. He sits on Blkgrowlmon who squirms and complains.
"Guh! Get off you fat Zwart!" Blkgrowlmon yells.
"Are you going to listen?" Blkgreymon growls.
"Yes! For dark lords' sake get off! You smell like old cheese and sukamon patties!"
Blkgreymon rolls his eyes, "drama queen, and so you know it's my new musk 'le '."
Blkgreymon becomes Blkagumon and Blkgrowlmon becomes Blkguilmon. Blkagumon introduces Kayden, "Here is an old friend of yours."
Blkguilmon's jaw drops, "Kayden! It's really you!" around Blkguilmon's neck is a device. "I've waited for you to come back. You were too young at the time but now…" Blkguilmon looks down at the egg. He narrows his eyes, "What is that?"
Kayden says, "This is my best friend… right now he's in a lot of trouble."
Blkguilmon tilts his head, "Your… best friend?". Blkguilmon seems dejected, "but, I'm your actual partner… you don't even have a device for it."
Kayden holds onto the egg tightly, "I don't remember any of this… I came here because I need Leokumons help. Wizardmon says Furrmon is going to die if we don't get the cure for him."
Blkagumon asks, "Cure? Oh… if that's what I think it means…" Blkagumon looks grim.
Kayden asks, "I don't care if you don't help, I won't let him die!"
Blkguilmon looks into Kayden's eyes and at the device, he sighs "I'm angry right now, you found someone else and you don't remember me. But I'll be an Etemon's uncle if I let you go alone."
Kayden looks at Blkguilmon, "I'm sorry."
Blkguilmon spats at him, "I don't want your apologies, Hmpf" he snorts loudly.
Blkagumon chimes in, "I'll come with you as well, but we can't get in without… his help. Kayden, you will have to team up with Blkguilmon if we go to Hexocliff. It's a dangerous place for both human and digimon. I don't know if you remember, but... that is where Reikyu's last stand is. So... spend some time with each other ok? I'll go and see where Dexter ran off to." Blkagumon makes his exit while deep in thought.
The name Dexter brings a memory of a green Dorugamon. "I sort of remember 'Dexter', a green monster?"
"Of course, you would remember the thing that tried to eat you when you were a baby. I remember when you gave him a good thrashing, it was one of the things that drew me to you." Blkguilmon reminisces, "Maybe in time you will remember your promise to me."
Kayden asks, "Promise?"
Blkguilmon says, "Don't worry about it."
Kayden asks, "When are we going to Hexocliff?"
Blkguilmon shakes his head, "I'm going to talk to some old friends and get things ready. You are going to stay at the motel and rest until dawn. If we are going to Hexocliff we need a bargaining chip to get some help. How are you with commanding?"
Kayden shrugs, "I know how to beat people up and yell. Does that count?"
Blkguilmon responds, "Hmm good enough. Just don't show weakness in front of the others, ok?"
Kayden seems offended, "I ain't weak! I don't always think things through but I'll show you who's weak!" Kayden puffs up his chest.
Blkguilmon looks at him, "Ok then, show me what you got!" Blkguilmon seems excited to rumble but they are interrupted by Blkagumon who returns. "Enough. Save that energy for later." Kayden and Blkguilmon still glare at each other, Blkguilmon smiles "That's the Kayden I know, you'll be just fine."
Blkagumon motions for the egg that Kayden holds tightly, "He will be in good hands, He will last longer in the medic area where they can keep an eye on him" Kayden hands over Furrmons egg. As soon as the box leaves him, Kayden feels like he's parting with a piece of his soul. It ignites a fire deep inside him, 'don't worry buddy, I'll be back for you.' he whispers in his heart.
The next morning Blkguilmon wakes Kayden up inside the motel, "Get up Punk!"
Kayden is startled awake nearly falling out the bed, half asleep and half annoyed he manages to rise to a new day. "Ugh… why so early… Did you have to shout so loudly"
Blkguilmon thinks for a moment, "Hmm, yea or how else would I wake you up sunshine!" Kayden stretches and gets up, "Ok, I'm up so what did you want?" He says mumbling. Blkguilmon gives a twisted grin, "Today, You are going to lead us as the heir of the mighty Reikyu against the disgusting Vaccine Base in the Golden fields" Kayden scratches his head and yawns, "So we are going to go beat up some other digimon."
Blkguilmon responds, "Not just any Digimon, these are vaccine types! They hold advantage over us virus types!" Blkguilmon growls "We need you to lead us and empower us with Reikyu's ability! You have a weapon that can do that, and you definitely have the spirit!"
Kayden asks, "What are you talking about?"
Blkguilmon rolls his eyes, "Ugh, lets just go already! Come on!"
Blkguilmon grabs his arm, practically dragging him out to Arukenimon's Outfitter shop. Kayden is reluctant to try on new new outfits "Gah, do we have to do this?" Kayden says annoyed. Arukenimon has him posing while she is taking measurements, "Hold still sweetie, or you might suffer convulsions from me pricking you. These needles are poisonous you know!" She says this joyfully with a cheer in her voice. Kayden says, "Why would you use poison needles on your customers?"
"So, they stand still like the dead." Arukenimon smiles. The spider Digimon finishes up taking the measurements.
Kayden asks Blkguilmon, "So what's the point of this? I'm pretty sure they won't give a shit if I look pretty or not."
Blkguilmon responds, "Well, first impressions are everything from enemies to comrades in arms, second you need armor so you don't lose a limb, burn into a crisp, freeze to death, get poisoned… etc. and third this place was Reikyu's pride and joy trying out new outfits and dressing up Dexter in different, uh outfits. I want to say." He trails off.
Arukenimon sends the measurements to her Kunemon who come out with a virus themed Biker Viking outfit. They put it on him, it fits him perfectly! He has horns on his biker helmet with a gnarly mohawk. The virus Digimon symbol is decorated on his outfit. Arukenimon and her assistants clap at a job well done.
Blkguilmon then brings him to the town center where the virus Digimon who are ready to raid. Blkguilmon tells him about the Digimon, "These are the finest warriors from our allies and some of our residents. They know what to do, you just need to be here to show them Reikyu still lives on!"
Kayden asks, "What's so special about Reikyu?"
The Digimon around them seem to be at unrest and itching to fight. "… you really remember nothing? Well, that's fine, make a new legacy" Blkguilmon pats him on the back, "Ok says something to them!" Kayden looks down at the Virus type Digimon who are mixed between rookies and ultimates with a few megas. Blkguilmon urges him, "… say literally anything that comes to mind oh maybe this will help" Blkguilmon hands him a futuristic looking axe. Kayden thinks a moment, he lifts his axe "RAOR! RIP THEM APART!".
The Digimon below become instantly inspired roaring back with him, the club wielding Digimon below seem the most inspired dancing and jumping below. Blkguilmon nods and walks forward, "We strike in the darkness against our enemies! The V-brigade! Let's make them remember the Reikyu Alliance!" More roaring can be heard, Blkwargreymon appears in the back roaring along with the others. "This way troops!"
The Digimon start to walk into a large gateway, Kayden follows behind them asking Blkguilmon has seemed really animated all morning. Kayden asks, "Is this really about the Vaccine? You don't seem like the type to do things out of the good of your heart. You seem more like you want to crush something."
Blkguilmon responds, "Sharp, aren't you? The leader is the man who abandoned me for dead at Black Beach. He dropped me off for a better guilmon! Grrr! He leads what's known as the V-Brigade. Like he's all that stands under the 'mighty sun', but this is your promise to me."
Kayden asks, "What promise?!"
Blkguilmon says, "To get back at him!" Blkguilmon takes out a black device that's cracked, "This is all that's left of our partnership. You took this and promised me that you'd beat him up for abandoning me! Do you know how it feels to be replaced because the person who was supposed to raise you gave up? They leave you for someone else because you aren't what they wanted. Tamers aren't supposed to give up on their partners. I never gave up on him when he failed, but of course he blamed me... Grrrr!" Blkguilmon really starts to growl the anger seethes from his eyes as they march onwards.
Kayden thinks of his father and sister, inside it fills him with rage. "I know how that feels… I won't abandon Sablemon though, I will never do that not to you or Sablemon. I don't remember anything but, I'm not going to let a jerk get away with that!"
Blkguilmon nods, "We ,as Virus types, are weak against Vaccine types. But with you we might stand a chance. They know winning isn't the goal, it's causing as much havoc as possible!" He laughs.
Kayden grips his axe, they walk into the gateway and into the battlefield.
Location: Fields of Light.
A beautiful field of golden grass, the land ever shines with light under the grace of Seraphimon. The fields blow calmly until the first virus soldiers appear and charge in. In the middle of the field is the base of the Vaccine Brigade, they sound the sirens as many bulky virus types charge at them.
Portals appear with Angel Digimon pouring out of them, throwing their spears down at them. The spears are returned by Wizardmon who puts down a Sakkakumon statue summoning the legendary warrior that mirrors back all of the angel's offensive abilities. Below the walls of the base, the Oni-trio Digimon: Ogremon, Fugamon and Hyogamon, slam the walls down with their clubs exposing the inside of the base. They are soon blasted back by Apollomon, who instantly evaporates them. Blkwargreymon charges in at Apollomon and they fight each other in epic fashion. Dobermon, Ginkakumon, Mekanorimon, Sealsdramon and other champion/ultimate virus Digimon run on in. "In the back smaller Digimon scout and call out monsters appearing from the portals popping up in different places, "Seraphimon! Landing down on BlkWargreymon!" Monmon shouts, "Ophanimon! Seen coming from the east!" A Blkgatomon shouts, "Magnadramon from the south!" a Gekomon also shouts.
More angel Digimon are now backed up by holy beast who appear from southern portals, Blkguilmon who digivolves into Blkgrowlmon calls out, "Send in the machines!". Wizardmon and other Wisemon start three large summoning circles. The first summons Machinedramon who starts running into Seraphimon taking him off Blkwargreymon. Next, Chaosdramon starts running in with ballistics popping out of him. Finally, Hi-machinedramon is unleashed in an unstable state. The only thing stopping Hi-machinedramon from attacking his allies is the fact he hates Vaccines more than everything else and makes a straight bee line for Ophanimon.
Kayden witnesses total chaos of war, Blkgrowlmon picks him up and starts to run into the base's open wall and pass the fighting. "Grr, they should be calling for him soon." They run pass all the chaos/fighting to the middle of the base where the base's gateway is. Out from it, Dukemon with a blonde, blue eyed adult appears. "What is all this!" Blkgrowlmon lunges at them, but Dukemon smacks him back. Dukemon does a 'lightning joust', but Kayden tosses his axe at Dukemon to redirect him off Blkgrowlmon. The confused tamer gasps, "Dukemon, return." Dukemon jumps backwards back next to his tamer. He looks closer at the growlmon and sees the cracked black digivice, "Growlie, is that you?"
The Blkgrowlmon scowls, "I'm not Growlie anymore traitor! You abandoned me because you wanted a real Guilmon! Remember!"
"Growlie, I had to do it! If I didn't then…" The tamer's voice turns into a mumble.
"Grr! Then what! HUH!? As soon as things get a little hard..." Blkgrowlmon is seething with anger and lunges at him again; Dukemon slams him with ease. "You abandoned me!" Blkgrowlmon has tears in his eyes, "YOU DON'T ABANDON YOUR PARTNER!"
His tamer says, "You weren't strong enough! You would have died anyway!"
Blkgrowlmon says, "Lies! I'm still here! I'm alive! I've waited for this moment for a long time when I can beat the living Sukamon out of you!"
"Well, you have to get pass Dukemon don't you?" His tamer says without the slightest hint of emotion, "I made the right choice, this Guilmon was made with better data and actually 'listens'. I refuse to feel bad, after all you are just data anyway."
Kayden yells, "He's not just data! He's a Digimon! A living monster! We all have faults, but as tamers we live with them and grow stronger. The reason you couldn't make him stronger is because you are weak!"
The man asks, "Who are you little boy? Shouldn't you go back home to mommy. This is no place for a child."
Kayden rushes at him with the axe in hand, "Make me punk!"
Dukemon tries to knock Kayden back, but Blkgrowlmon slams into him with a 'plasma blade' pushing him away. A flash and rumble stuns Dukemon's tamer. Kayden takes advantage of the tamer's vunderable moment and punches him square in the face knocking the guy backwards. Kayden says, "This guy deserves a good kick, if sablemon were here… he'd rip his pants off and throw him down a hole!"
Meanwhile, around them virus Digimon lay defeated by the vaccines, everyone starts to notice the humans fighting. The Virus Megas are also struggling against the Vaccine Megas who have an advantage over them being vaccines against viruses.
The man gets back up; He spits a little blood on the ground "Heh, a kid's still a kid." The tamer returns the favor and tries to wail on Kayden who is much smaller than the adult. But, unlike most kids Kayden has personal issues and isn't a stranger to a scruff. Kayden lets him get close and kicked him in the sack, "Aiiiiiieeee!". The adult tamer bends over in pain and Kayden uses the blunt side of his axe to smack him to the side on his face. The Digimon who were once fighting, watch two humans go at it. The virus Digimon cheer for Kayden while the vaccine Digimon cry for the adult to get up.
The megas in the background notice the humans fighting Machinedramon roars, "My leader is small, but he's strong!" He ends up blasting Seraphimon several miles back from excitement. The virus Digimon can feel the emotions coming from Kayden, they start to riot and get back up. The virus types are inspired and feel determined to keep going just like their leader. Kayden keeps beating the Sukamon out of him repeatedly kicking him, punching him and taunting him. Dukemon throws Blkgrowlmon to the side and stops Kayden lifting him up into the air, "So he needs his dog to fight for him huh?" Kayden cracks his neck like he's ready for round two. Blkgrowlmon gets up behind him and smiles, he roars "ROAR! You aren't a real Digimon! I am! You're just a fake!" Blkgrowlmon whips his tail towards Dukemon's back. Dukemon drops Kayden dodging his attack. Kayden drops down and stands by Blkguilmon's side. "This is a real tamer!"
The man is helped up by Dukemon, he bleeds from his face holes and cuts where Kayden beat him. The man says dully, "Don't kill the boy, but hurt the badly." Both Blkgrowlmon and Kayden take on Dukemon but he's too strong; Dukemon relentlessly uses 'lightning joust' on them both. "Gah" Kayden gets knocked down but gets back up. Blkgrowlmon's digivice drops in the fight. Dukemon then tries to finish Blkgrowlmon off by using his lance to pierce him but Blkgrowlmon grabs the lance which electricutes him. "GRRRR!" The light from the digivice glows ominously and brightly, Kayden grabs his digivice and looks Blkgrowlmon in the eyes, "Believe in me!" Kayden holds the device, "Of course I believe! Don't let this gigachad get away with this!" The device shatters and light explodes from it surrounding Blkgrowlmon.
Blkgrowlmon digivolves into ChaosDukemon!
ChaosDukemon and Dukemon both engage each other fighting with heavy blows destroying the V brigade base and tossing other Digimon aside. The Vaccine Brigade blow their horns to retreat, the angel Digimon grab their fallen comrades as the virus types cheer and jeer at their cowardice. Then all that is left is the battle between Chaosdukemon and Dukemon. Dukemon is not holding up well against Chaosdukemon who is vicious and relentless, not letting him do more than guard himself barely. Dukemon's shield becomes compromised when he uses 'Cruel Balmung' and shocks him. Dukemon's shield breaks and he falls; ChaosDukemon stomps on Dukemon who can only grunt in pain, "Pathetic fake, are you really a Digimon? I wonder if you can feel pain faker?" The adult gets up and catches Kayden off guard, who was cheering Chaosdukemon on, and puts him in an armhold, "I have your buddy here! You better let him go!"
Chaosdukemon stares menacingly at the adult, then laughs at him kicking Dukemon over to him. The adult drops Kayden and runs over to Dukemon to check him over. Chaosdukemon says, "A fake and a failure, hah! You aren't worth it anymore pathetic scum." Chaosdukemon approaches them, "Run away, like you always did. You are no match for my new partner! Kayden! I show you mercy today, but next time there will be none." Chaosdukemon kicks them into their gateway sending them away and with one strong hit he destroys that gateway. Chaosdukemon approaches Kayden and helps him up, "You truly are the son of Reikyu!" The virus Digimon approach him and cheer, "Long live Kayden! Leader of ReiKyu!" Kayden returns the digivice to him, Chaosdukemon shakes his head, "Keep it. We are friends now. I will help you save your friend."
Chaosdukemon turns to the other virus Digimon who look eager for his words, Blkwargreymon hovers down as the Wisemon and Wizardmon try to calm down the wild Machinedramons who are still eager for battle. "This territory is now the field of darkness!" The once golden fields now become corrupted and dark, the virus Digimon start to make this their new home around them and kick out the original residents. The trees around them become dead and eerie forest, the grasses are now sharp and crinkled. A portal opens where the light gateway used to be and out comes Bakemon who announce, "Behold! Lord of Darkness, the great Dark Lord Granddracmon!"
The virus types all cheer for the dark lord, as he slowly exits the portal creating a new dark gateway. Kayden starts to sweat a bit, 'oh shit' Kayden thinks. Chaosdukemon whispers to Kayden, "We kinda had to borrow a lot of Digimon from him to raid this place, so uh… this is going to be the tradeoff for him. I get revenge and he gets a new vacationing spot in the digital world. Kayden? You look nervous are you alright."
Kayden tries to excuse himself, "I, uh, don't feel well… Let me just head back."
Chaosdukemon replies, "Don't be rude, Lord Granddracmon would love to meet you."
Kayden says, "oh… yea... great…"
"It won't be that bad, he's actually quite the gentleman. Though I recently heard he had delinquents trash his mansion, so he was looking for a new place to stay while repairs are on the way. Perfect timing, right?" Chaosdukemon seems proud.
The lord granddracmon takes a look around, "Ah, wonderful job my subjects and those of the Reikyu alliance! This shall make a great vacation spot while my mansion is under repair! Where is your leader who I must thank? I wish to meet them."
Kayden in his biker suit approaches with Chaosdukemon, internally Kayden hopes he can't remember him. Chaosdukemon kneels before him, "My lord, we of the Reikyu alliance present to you this new location that the V brigade has graciously let us have to give you. Let this be our offering to you for your gracious generosity."
Granddracmon looks around inspecting the area, "Is there a human among you? I doubt Virus types could competently do this without one."
Chaosdukemon nods, "Yes" He pushes Kayden forward, "This is our new leader, Kayden! Son of the great Reikyu!"
Granddracmon takes a closer look, "YOU!"
Kayden waves awkwardly, his helmet is removed by the bakemon showing his face.
Granddracmon's eyes squint, and he laughs, "AHHAHAHAHA of course! Who else could destroy my mansion other than the son of the great Reikyu!"
Chaosdukemon asks, "My lord?"
"I can see the fear in your eyes child, good. I shall forgive you for you are one of my greatest benefactors' children. However, I will not forget the amount of damage you and your plant boy and friend did." Granddracmon says this in a cheer mood. "Ah, I remember her before that awful day."
Kayden asks, "Uh my dark lord, can you explain?"
"Do you not know of the great feats of your mother? She conquered the digital seas over Captainhookmon! Defeated the best tamers, the Digimon rangers! She dragged Yggdrassil down to the Dark Area for dinner with me! I was sarcastic when I even mentioned that! That human was given the title of 'Master Biker' after defeating Beelstarmon and Beezlemon in a racing contest around the digital world in three days! Why many books have been written about the great Reikyu until her untimely end. She is the pride of the virus digimon" Granddracmon looks around, "speaking of virus types, where is yours? That little squirrelmon?"
"He's not doing so well sir, he's sick." Kayden says sadly.
Chaosdukemon speaks up, "My lord, we must enter Hexocliff in the Dark Area. His Digimon is infected with the red death virus."
"I see. You truly know nothing of Reikyu's feats, do you? Now, you wish to risk everyone's lives by entering Hexocliff? " Granddracmon asks Kayden. Kayden glares at him, "I need to save my partner!"
"Ah you still lack any manners even when asking for something so grand, I will allow passage because you are the son of the great Reikyu. But, the word will get out that you are going to enter Hexocliff and the Rangers will come and do all they can to stop you. Not to mention the many dangers from the past that are locked within. Are you sure you want to go?" Kayden is about to answer but Granddracmon holds up a hand to stop him from answering, "I see that look in your eyes, it's the same as your mother's. Go back today, rest and come back in three days to answer me. Granddracmon dismisses them opening a portal to Black Beach under them, "Now then, let's get to work building a newer, bigger and better mansion! One that is deliquent proof!"
Digimon Entry-
Froggiemon
Level: Rookie, Type: Data, Species: Amphibian
Special: Do a barrel Roll. (While in the space craft he barrel rolls while firing missiles in a circle. Sometimes he kamikaze's LUC13 which ends up repairing itself after a few mins of gathering its pieces back into a craft. Kinda like a certain robot dog from an old nick cartoon.)
Froggiemon is a mechanic, amphibian, and otaku. He owns a pet space craft by the name is LUC13, whenever he lets out a whistle this machine comes out of nowhere and exhibits the power of a champion at rookie level. Froggiemon is usually shy and silent, not really being outspoken or speaking at all. It is a bipedal frog of few words but many beloved anime series. It will always be the first to pre order gundums and the one to start new fandoms. Some say Froggiemon was created from a weirdo's fanfiction of every anime possible. Others say he was once a human world frog that became obsessed with anime and machines and got sucked into the digital world becoming Froggiemon. But, we will never know the origins of this otaku fanatic.
