The Return to the Digital World

Lupine Laser: Thank you Digi-fanCapp and koujiluvr for giving me so much nice reviews! To koujiluvr: Aimi's personality is purely coincidental if it seems like she is another Mimi. I have not even watched that season. I do not own Digimon.

Meanwhile, Kouji slipped away deeper into the forest to train by himself so that he could become stronger and protect his friends. Zoe, who was not partnered up with anyone, noticed Kouji slipping away. She knew that something was wrong with Kouji so she decided to follow him, hoping to find out what was bothering him.

Chapter 26: Training (Part 2)

TAKUYA'S POV

I walked over to Shinya who was looking at his D-tector. "Hey, Shinya. Want to learn how to activate your Spirit?" I asked. Shinya nodded enthusiastically. I looked at his D-tector and saw that he was going to be the Legendary Warrior of Earth. I stifled a laugh. MY BROTHER WAS GOING TO BE GRUMBLEMON! GRUMBLEMON! I mean, the name was weird but it totally suited my brother who grumbles a lot. About homework, about chores, about his amount of sleep, about school, about his toys, about his pocket money, about ME and many other things.

I taught him how to activate his Human Spirit of Earth, Grumblemon, and watched in fascination as he was smashing his hammer around. He was short, I bet an inch shorter than Kumamon, but was surprisingly strong for such a small guy. The ground started to crack a little so I made him stop swinging his hammer around.

Instead, I made him practice using his attack, 'Seismic Sledge', on a tree instead, though I made sure it was not a Cherrymon first or a Woodmon. Shinya almost whacked me a few times but I managed to dodge the fast moving, out-of-control hammer of him. I transformed into Agunimon so that I had some armour to protect myself if Shinya suddenly decided to kill me or something with his sledgehammer. Well... the best thing about Shinya being Grumblemon was that his broken English was not 'broken' anymore. He talked just like Shinya would. Luckily. I hope it was the same for Ranamon and Mercurymon.

JP'S POV

Masaki was easy to convince that his device, or D-tector, would change him into a Digimon. I did a step-by-step tutorial for him by turning into Beetlemon. He soon got the hang of it and turned into Arbormon. "Hehehe," he chuckled. "This feels awesome! I feel... so... powerful!" I laughed at him.

"I know. It's the same feeling for all of us. It's like we have powers at our fingertips all of a sudden!" I told him. Masaki nodded enthusiastically but he could not because his head was kind of fixed to his body with no neck. I laughed at him more.

Masaki had to get used to walking around with a bigger upper body compared to his thinner lower body and legs. I almost laughed when he nearly tripped because he could not see his legs. Seeing what Takuya had taught Shinya, I also asked Masaki to practice his attacks on a tree.

Masaki was a quick learner and was quite accurate with his attacks. 'Blockade Seed', firing a seed-like bomb from his mouth, hit the tree on target on Masaki's first try and the tree had a hole in it. 'Roundhouse Punt', kicking and punching with his arms and legs connected by rods, missed a few times but Masaki got the hang of it soon.

TOMMY'S POV

Yutaka did not want to believe all this. But, being his younger brother, I had some convincing skills. I mean, he had to trust his younger brother, right? So instead forcing him to believe all these 'Digimon' things, I transformed into Kumamon instead.

Yutaka looked down at me and laughed. "HAHAHAHAHA! Tommy! You are actually shorter than you were in your human form! And, you are a cute little frost bear!" I glared at him. I finally made him shut up by freezing his feet to the ground beneath his feet so that he could not move. "Tommy! What are you doing?" he asked, panicked.

"Teaching you a lesson," I told him. "Now do you believe that we can transform into Digimon? If not, I will have to transform into my Beast Spirit, which I'm sure will NOT be a 'cute little frost bea', you hear me?" Yutaka nodded. I returned back to Tommy and Spirit Evolved again while teaching Yutaka how to do it. Yutaka became Mercurymon.

Yutaka looked down at himself in his mirrors. "Wait... I don't have eyes and yet I can still see. How is that possible?" he asked. I shrugged. I decided to try a sneak attack on him.

"Blizzard Blaster!" I yelled as I fired snowballs from my launcher at him. As a reflex, Yutaka raised his mirrors in defence and one of the mirrors absorbed the attack while the other reflected them back to me while Yutaka yelled 'Dark Reflection'.

Yutaka looked at his mirrors again. "Wait... does this mean that I am invincible? I mean, I can reflect attacks!" he said excitedly.

"Nope. Physical attacks can defeat you easily," I said. In my mind I thought, 'Phew. Mercurymon isn't Mr. Shakespeare anymore!' I almost laughed at the thought.

KOUICHI'S POV

I guess I should have known that Aimi would be crazed over her Human Spirit form: Ranamon. I basically told her what to do and she transformed into Ranamon soon after. "OH MY GOSH! I AM SO BEAUTIFUL! AIN'T I LOOK DASHING, KOUICHI?" she shouted in my face while looking herself all over. She was her favourite colour too.

I nodded and inwardly sighed. Why did I choose to partner her and let Kouji handle this? Oh yeah. Aimi was closer to me and Kouji does not like her one bit because of her hyperness. Anyway, I made Aimi practice her attacks on a rock. Since we were in a forest, she could not use 'Whipping Waves' because she needed to manipulate water.

Aimi still used 'Draining Rain' and 'Dark Vapour'. 'Draining Rain' did not do much to a rock because rocks do not have energy. 'Dark Vapour', an acidic cloud, melted a little bit of the rock. After practicing those two attacks once each only, Aimi started becoming hyper again that she was beautiful, yet powerful. I sighed and managed to tune her out after a while. At least this Ranamon does not like to use the word 'sugar' to address people.
