Oh and I still don't own Digimon.
First Fight! Or not?
Cain couldn't wait to get to school, but currently he was still at home; he had crossed his arms over his chest, and was staring at Moonmon who was drooling on his bed during her sleep. His staring turned into glaring but, soon enough, he realized that the little Digimon wouldn't wake up that way. Cain didn't really get much sleep last night, because he was made to do without a pillow; to be truthful, Moonmon had claimed the bed as hers and she did everything to make her own sleep comfortable. Lately, this caused Cain to resign his pillow to her; which was why he had to sleep without one. Second, was that Moonmon snored. He didn't really understand it; in all the stories from his parents and his grandfather, they never said once that a Digimon could snore like that. He sighed and left to get his school bag and his cell phone, taking a close look at it again.
"If I remember right, I saw one like this yesterday…" he mumbled, thinking hard about where he'd seen it. "Maybe she had one in her hand…"
"Hm… you're awake already…" Moonmon grumbled with a yawn as she woke up, looking tiredly at the boy on the other side of the room. Cain threw his school bag over his shoulder and searched for something else in his room; when he didn't find it by his closet, he went over to his bed and knelt down, snaking his body underneath.
"What are you doing? You humans sure are weird," Moonmon was curious after watching him for several minutes now. Cain only mumbled something but due to the position – upper part of his body under the bed and legs stretched out on the floor - he was in, she couldn't figure out what he said because it was so muffled.
Coughing, Cain slithered back from under the bed and held a black object up like a trophy. The Digimon eyed him sceptically, but said nothing and thought to herself in amusement, 'I could be mean right now, but… Nah, I think I will save that for later.'
"Ha, I found it! My old sport bag; I knew it had to be somewhere around my room," he cheered, grin clear all over his face. "Moonmon, now you can accompany me to school without being noticed!"
"If you think that you can get me in that old shaggy looking thing than you're wrong," Moonmon glared at the boy, who ignored her and continued to open the bag. A bad feeling spread out in Moonmon's tiny body from her gut, and the Digimon somehow got the feeling that Cain had something in his mind which she wouldn't like or - better yet - which she would hate.
Cain moved slowly nearer, a sly grin on his face and, suddenly, Moonmon felt the need to run. "Don't come near me with that thing!" Her high pitched voice screamed as the Digimon jumped away, with her partner giving chase.
"Come on! It won't be that bad!" Cain argued annoyed after chasing Moonmon around the room for several minutes, now.
"NEVER! YOU, HUMAN, WILL NEVER GET ME IN THAT THING!"
"Give up already, Moonmon! You can't escape me!"
"FORGET IT! I WOULD RATHER FIGHT A MEGA LEVEL INSTEAD OF BEING IN SUCH A THING!"
"I don't know what you mean, but, if you want to leave this house with me, you have to get into the sport bag!"
"NEVER!"
At the school
"How did I get into this? Gennai, I swear you will regret sending me into this world…" Moonmon mumbled as she was swung around in the black sport bag, feeling every step Cain made.
"Come on, it isn't that bad right so now let's see where Yuki is…" Cain grinned; he was proud about the fact that he caught a Digimon with his sport bag and he was also curious about how Yuki would react if she were to see a real Digimon. After all, he was certain that Yuki was related to Takeru Takaishi, which would mean that she also must know about Digimon and that's why he wanted her to see Moonmon so badly.
"Isn't that bad? It stinks of old shoes in here and…" Moonmon didn't finish the comment when she felt Cain hitting the bag to signal that she should be quiet, and moments later Moonmon heard other voices.
'He must have entered his school, or wherever he said we were going to.'
"Hey guys!" Cain greeted his classmates casually, but knew there was an undertone of nervousness to his voice.
"Hey, Cain. Why do you have a sport bag with you?" asked the first one of his class and Cain's brain worked quickly to get a believable lie.
"We have no sports today, you know," another classmate added, as they all gave him a strange look.
"Oh… Uh… you see…" Cain struggled to get the words out of his mouth. Think, think, think!
'Humans sure are weird sometimes,' Moonmon, meanwhile, was thoroughly amused by what she was hearing.
"Easy enough to answer," a voice from the other end of the room spoke loud enough for everyone to hear, and, when they turned around, they saw Yuki was the one who spoke. She was looking at her cell phone bored, but still somehow seemed like she overheard their conversation. "He thought that we had sports today; guess he got the schedule wrong yesterday."
With this reasoning given she went back to her seat, and continued typing something on her phone. Cain sweat dropped, Why would she help me?But, seeing it as something he could work with, he played along with it. "Haha, guess it looks like Yuki looked through me," he laughed and walked over to his seat next to her, stealing a glance at her cell phone.
"As I thought…" he mumbled - noticing it looked nearly identical to his own - when he sat down, dropping his school bag and the sport bag on the floor; he forgot that Moonmon was in it.
"Ouch!" She groaned, somehow keeping it low enough so as not to be heard. 'You will get that back later, boy! I swear you, and Gennai, will pay for today!'
From the corner of her eyes, Yuki clearly saw that Cain's sport bag moved without being touched. She carefully inspected the boy next to her; something was off with him today, and Yuki could clearly feel it. There was a strange foreboding feeling building within her, but she couldn't really say why - or what - it was.
Two figures, both wearing a black cloak with a hood hiding their features, were standing in front of a school building. "Say, you really think the signal came from here?" A soft female voice asked came from one.
"Yep; I'm sure. Look here…" the other one, with a noticeably deeper voice, answered and withdrew a black cell phone from its cloak. The screen showed what seemed to be a map with two points in it; the red point was blinking, saying that whatever they were after was near their position, while the other point, which was black coloured, was steady.
"Ha! This thing was made by him, and you know the others don't trust it or him!" The female voice laughed sarcastically.
"Be happy that I have such a thing, or you and the others would be lost here. Also, if I remember correctly, you also have one," the boy retorted sharply, with a mocking tone.
"Whatever you say…" the girl huffed, miffed by his comment, appearing to face him directly under her hood. "I'll leave this mission to you. But, finish this fast and come back safely to report, understand? No escapades! I know that you'll overdo it if I'm not with you."
"Yeah, yeah…" the boy stopped listening to her and walked towards the building, the girl he left behind disappearing seemingly in a blink of an eye. "Thank God, she sometimes gets so annoying."
"You shouldn't talk about her like that; we can't finish our goal if she doesn't help us. After all, she does know more about the others then we do," a shadow on a nearby wall spoke up.
The boy wasn't shocked or surprised by what any others would deem a spirit. No, he smiled; he knew who it was that was speaking to him.
"Where did you hide this time, Wizardmon? Haven't seen you around for a while now…" he questioned dryly, knowing that his partner was around somewhere.
"You know I will never leave your side. I stayed in your shadow this time, interesting that they didn't sense me already," Wizardmon came out of the shadow cast by the boy. His eyes weren't looking at his partner; the Digimon was looking at the building and around the area, to make sure he wouldn't be seen by anyone.
"Ha, that goes to show how great your sorcery is when it goes about hiding. Anyway, have you found out more about the others?" The boy looked at his partner, his hand moving to remove the hood of his cloak. Short, unruly, platinum blond hair sparkled in the sun as his pale blue eyes searched for something in the Digimon's face.
"I found out that one of the other Digimon must be here already, while another one is on his way. There is one still in the Digital World, and two others which are too far away from this city for now," Wizardmon watched his friend form the corner of his eyes, concerned. He knew how important their mission was, but to him it didn't feel right to betray someone; no matter the need.
"So, that makes with you and her… a count of seven Digimon. Alright. Wizardmon, you can stay back if that's what you want," the boy suddenly spoke up. "… I know that our plan doesn't feel right for you, so I want you to stay back while I handle them," he pointed with his free hand at himself, showing that he was capable of doing this himself.
Wizardmon looked at his partner for a while before he laughed. This caused the boy to cross his arms over his chest, cellular still in one hand, and give him an annoyed look, "Care to tell me what's so funny?"
"Sorry, Connor, but you should know I would never let you do it alone; especially since both of us wish to fulfill this goal," with this statement, Wizardmon disappeared into a nearby shadow again.
This left Connor was left behind, with a small smile, "Everything will go after the plan…" He mumbled to himself as he walked toward the building.
"Yuki! Damn it, I said wait!" Cain screamed along the empty corridor as he ran as fast as he could, not caring - or perhaps not realizing - that the two bags on his back were banging together with every step he took. Moonmon groaned, pain running though her body and she didn't find it funny in any way.
"Would you stop following me around?" The black haired girl sighed in annoyance as she stopped in the middle of the corridor. She crossed her arms over her chest, shooting him an angered glare as he stopped in front of her, "School is out, so go home already! I have things to take care of."
"Yeah, I know - but I have to show you something! It's really important!" Cain answered in a determined tone; he wasn't going to let her go this time. During lunch, he'd missed his chance to get her alone, but this time he would show her Moonmon.
"What is it you want to show me so badly?" Yuki gave in; she knew when she had to admit to being defeated. Also, even though she knew this boy for barely two days now, she was almost certain that Cain was stubborn enough to even go so far as to follow her to her home.
"First, answer me something. Do you know about Digimon? Does Digital World ring something in your head? Or a guy named Gennai?"
'What the…? Seriously? That is why he's been following me around?' Yuki snorted, annoyed, "First, yes. Second, maybe. Third, no," she responded shortly.
Cain's smile grew wider as he cheered, "Great, that keeps me away from having to do any explanations! So, take a look at what I have in this bag and you'll see…"
Yuki watched him sceptically, "And I will see what?"
Cain panicked, finally realizing something was wrong with his bags. He opened the sport bag to find nothing in it, only old shoes and sports stuff which didn't belong to him, "What? But… where is…?"
Yuki scanned his shocked face for something, but whatever she was searching for, she apparently didn't find it. The boy, meanwhile, tossed everything from inside the sports bag onto the hallway floor, "Where did it go? Don't tell my they can vanish into air? And from where did this sport stuff come it doesn't belong to me?" Cain mumbled uncertain, he wasn't aware that the black haired girl had turned around in preparation to leave.
"I don't have time for this; I'm going if there isn't anything important anymore."
Cain panicked even more now; in his panic, he grabbed her wrist. "Wait! I swear…" he started, his voice filled with emotions he couldn't explain. "…there was a Digimon with me! It was Moonmon! You hear me, Yuki? A Digimon! What our ancestors, our grandparents, and our parents always have told us… it's true! They really exist!" Cain looked at Yuki, her eyes were wide by his sudden and unexpected action; it was clear she was stunned by his words as well.
She broke free from his grip and ran, as her mind was suddenly blank. Yuki didn't really think about where she was running to, she just ran; away from the one who told her about Digimon again, away from the strange feeling she was feeling, and away from her past.
Cain was left alone in the corridor suddenly. He didn't understand why Yuki ran away. Did I say something wrong again, like yesterday?He didn't know what was going on in the girl's mind, and it was hard for him to find a solution for her weird actions. He was still puzzling over her abrupt departure when a high pitched voice broke his train of thoughts.
"You are officially the stupidest human I've ever met," Cain turned around sharply, as he recognized the voice to be Moonmon; surely enough, the Digimon was on the floor behind him.
"Where the heck have you been?" He hissed and glared at the Digimon on the floor.
Moonmon looked up at him with innocent puppy eyes, "I was in the sport bag all the time. Sorry, if you didn't notice that you grabbed the wrong bag after Lunch." A sly smile was over the small face of the Digimon, but the smile vanished as it sensed something.
Cain noticed the sudden mood swing, and also got on guard upon the Digimon's tensing. "Behind you!" Moonmon suddenly yelled as she jumped forward and pushed Cain out of the way with her tiny body, forcing him backwards and sprawling him on the floor. An electric ball barely missed him, and embedded in the wall five meters away from where he had been. Cain looked with wide eyes at Moonmon on his chest, and then in the direction from where the attack came.
A boy with a black cloak around his shoulders and platinum blond hair was standing there, unmoving. "How did he…?" Cain couldn't finish his question, as the boy suddenly dashed forward with his right fist targeting Cain's face. Cain was able to barely escape the punch as he rolled, Moonmon still clutched tightly in his arms; unfortunately, the boy was fast and was able to kick Cain in the side. The momentum forced him to slid over five meters on the ground, until he stopped as he hit the hard wall with his back. Cain groaned, and flinching as he felt the pain on his side. "What the heck is your problem, dude?" He muttered annoyed, "I don't even know you! So, what's your issue?"
"Maybe you don't know me now, but you can be sure that you have no chance against me," the newcomer's cold voice sounded through the corridor.
Cain slowly stood up, setting Moonmon gently down, and holding one hand to the place where he was kicked while steadying himself on the wall with the other hand. "Care to tell me your name? If I get beaten, then I want to know who it was," Cain joked lightly, even though he wasn't really feeling like joking.
Moonmon, who also got thrown against the wall before, glared at their opponent; she was quick to sense the other one of the two unknown presences in the empty hallway. "Give me the power to fight, and I'll finish them off in no time," she growled.
"I don't want to be mean, but how would you two win against us if your Digimon is only on the In-training level? Face it. Give me your Digimon, and the information I want, then you won't get hurt," the platinum haired boy crossed his arms, waiting for the response.
"As if I would do that! I'd never hand you over a friend without a fight," Cain protested vehemently as he pushed lightly away from the wall as he decided he could stand again without help.
Moonmon watched him from the side, a bit worried and spoke up quickly, "Cain! Where's your Digivice? I need your help to digivolve! You have to use it, to give me the needed energy."
Cain nodded in understanding, "Got it." He reached in his pocket, before he remembered he'd left his cell phone - what Moonmon was calling a Digivice - in his school bag; glancing quickly around, he saw his bag was one meter in front of their enemy. He smirked sarcastically at the situation, which was something he always read about in a manga, or saw in a film : the hero has to rescue the day, but the one thing he needed was right in front of the enemy. The only difference now was that this wasn't a film or a manga; it was real life.
"Stay for a moment here, Moonmon; I just need to get it before I can help you," with this assurance, Cain ran forward, but the unknown boy also ran forward and was obviously preparing his next attack as he pulled back his fist. Just before Cain could get hit by it, he ducked and slid over the ground to his bag, rushing to take out the deep red cell phone just in time to doge another attack which he rolled away from.
"Dude, could you just stop attacking for a second? It gets pretty annoying if you can't leave me alone for a bit," Cain hissed as he grew a little angry.
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way; it seemed to me like you chose the hard way," he answered icily, a determined look in his eyes. By the look in his eyes, Cain knew that the boy in front of him wasn't going to give up easily, if at all.
"Cain, stop daydreaming - and let me digivolve!" Moonmon shouted nervously; she couldn't stand by to only watch them fight. She also wanted to fight and she also felt the need to protect her partner.
"How do I let you Digivolve?" Moonmon and the boy face palmed at this question, causing Cain to blink.
"Don't tell me you have a partner, and don't know how to let the Digimon digivolve?" The boy spoke in a mocking tone.
"I'm sorry for not knowing things like that!" Cain shot back. He suddenly felt the need to punch the guy in the face but he held it back. Barely.
"Humph, I'll show you how to digivolve a Digimon," the unknown boy withdrew a black cell phone which Cain noticed was nearly identical to his own and - moments later - the other presence Moonmon sensed before appeared next to him. "You ready, Wizardmon?"
"Anytime…" The Digimon nodded coolly, eying the two opposite knowingly.
"Black, like the Darkness! Digivolve, Wizardmon!" A bright light appeared and Cain was blinded from it; he heard glass shatter and a cracking sound off of the ground.
"Now, say hello to Mistymon : an Ultra-level," the fairer headed boy introduced with a smirk, as though he knew this was his victory.
Cain faced an armoured wizard, his purple cape waving slightly in soft breeze that come through the broken windows. The Digimon pointed with a flaming sword at him and Cain gulped in fear. What am I supposed to do?He knew from the stories he grew up with that an Ultra-level wasn't easy to defeat.
"Cain, what are you doing? Let me Digivolve, now!" Moonmon screamed again, not seeming to be affected by the sight in any way except she became more nervous.
"H-h-how?" Cain stuttered; in some vague way, he wondered why his opponent hadn't cut him in two by now, but - then again - he could care less about that right now because he was still alive.
"Your colour is Red! What do you think when you see the red colour, Cain?" Moonmon answered quickly, worry was clearly seen in her eyes.
"R-r-red… li-like…" Cain tried to think quickly, but his mind was blank. Suddenly, something snapped into place and he looked at his partner with clear determination and purpose. Moonmon smirked as she felt the first wave of energy, a soft light engulfing her and, when it disappeared, she was a new Digimon - Lunamon - now. Cain also smirked, feeling more confident now, and looked at the other boy.
"Time to make this a bit fairer; don't you think so, too?" He held up his Digivice, "Red, like the fire! Digivolve, Lunamon!" A bright light appeared again, but, this time, Cain didn't get blinded; he was able to watch as Lunamon Digivolved into Lekismon.
"Now that, is what I call a power up!" Lekismon smirked getting into a fighting position.
"Ha, Champion vs. Ultra? Looks kind of like it'll be fun. For us, right, Mistymon?" The other boy smirked confidently and crossed his arms.
"Don't underestimate them, Connor. Even if we are on different Levels, it does not mean that they will be easy to defeat," Mistymon explained but still exuded confidence. Even with his partner's warning, Connor was sure that he would win this fight.
"Lekismon? You sure you can take him?" Cain asked concerned; he didn't fail to hear what their opponents said and it made him worried.
"It's all we can do for now, Cain. The Ultra-level is too soon for us, so we have to survive with the Champion-level," she mentioned lightly, still in her fighting position ready to throw a punch at Mistymon.
"But, it sounds like we'll die if we aren't being careful," Cain frowned, not understanding but he rationalized that his partner knew what she was doing; this was his first fight along with a Digimon and he didn't plan to lose it.
Lekismon laughed at Cain, but it wasn't in a taunting way, "You could die, yes; but I'll only turn back into a Digi-Egg. So, whatever happens, Cain, make sure you stay alive!"
What all four of them didn't notice was a girl with long and curly dirty blonde hair, who was wearing the same cloak the other boy - Connor - was. She was sitting by the window, and watching them in mild excitement. "I knew it. I shouldn't have let him do this alone," she muttered to herself while simultaneously standing up from her position. "If I don't do anything in time, they'll destroy the whole school, and then we'd have to explain why the heck the mission went wrong." In the corner of her eyes, the girl could see a frozen spot not far away from her, she smiled a knowing smile as she pulled out three knifes and looked at them. The evening sun lent the metal of them a shine in a silver sparkle.
"Connor Neville! You always overdo it!" She shouted as she threw two knifes directly at the wall just next to him, missing him on purpose by just inches while the other one was thrown at Cain inches away from his foot, which caused him to jump in surprise.
Lekismon turned around and faced the girl, her eyes were sparkling in anger. "Attack my partner again and I will not make a difference between human and Digimon anymore," she hissed but the girl ignored Lekismon.
"Stay out of this, Samantha! This is mine - and Mistymon's - fight!" Connor shouted at his best friend, annoyed; however, he still flinched at the angered look he got from her.
"Don't be ridiculous. The mission was to observe them not to fight them. What was your great plan this time? Fighting them to find out how strong they are?" Samantha crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head as her curly hair gently waved in the breeze that came from behind her. "If they found out that you showed yourself too soon we will get big problems."
Cain gulped nervously; he could tell this girl was one you don't argue with. Lekismon meanwhile degenerated again, together with Mistymon, and moments later, there was Moonmon and Wizardmon in their places. Wizardmon took his chance at the distraction and disappeared into a shadow, to get away from the girls anger he supposed.
"Okay, look, don't take my show here! I wanted some information from that guy and his Digimon! You know that the others don't tell us everything because we have the Digivices," Connor tried to protest but was stopped by the look of the girl as she removed the two knifes from the wall and held it in his direction.
"No arguing anymore, Conner. You and I are going back, now, to report that the mission failed. You will get the honour to tell them why!"
"Okay, okay! Just stop holding those in my direction!" Connor gave in, but before he turned around to leave he faced Cain again with a glare. "Our fight will have to wait but be sure..." He made a dramatic pause, before he continued, "…I will come again."
"Don't talk so much; walk!" Samantha smacked his head and dragged him by his arm around the next corner to disappear into a shadow.
Cain stood there, he stared for what he was sure was a while at the spot where they had disappeared from. "Man, that girl had stolen his show… I was so excited because this was my first fight together with Moonmon," he sighed, clearly disappointed.
Moonmon, on the other hand, was in a different mood; she was thoughtful and was thinking upon their opponents. 'Why did they have a Digivice? Gennai wouldn't be so stupid to give them one right? But then again, why would they fight us?' Moonmon looked at Cain as he suddenly panicked; clearly, he noticed the destruction in the corridor.
'Black like the darkness? I thought Gennai had only used four elements of the guards… Who are they and what are they after?'
