Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 11: The First Zodiac Part II
Simon after hearing Yamaki's call ended up calling the other Tamers besides Daisuke and they then headed towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Building where a huge cloud of fog was surrounding it. "Looks like we might have to find a way up for all of us." Simon said to the others while Henry and Rika prepared their cards. Suzie wanted to join in on the action and Henry said "Can Lopmon evolve into champion level? You've only been with her for a whole day." Suzie smiled and responded "Henry, I believe in her and I think you should have faith in me as well." Henry and Suzie nodded and then everyone except Nia held up an evolution card and...
CARD SLASH! EVOLUTION ACTIVATE!
EVOLUTION._
GUILMON EVOLVE TO... GROWLMON!
TERRIERMON EVOLVE TO... GARGOMON!
RENAMON EVOLVE TO... KYUBIMON!
LOPMON EVOLVE TO... TURUIEMON!
Lopmon's evolved form looked more like a rabbit martial artist with a gi, equipped with claw like gauntlets and Chinese letter on the left side of it's chest. "Lopmon, is that you?" Turuiemon looked at her Tamer and responded "Of course Suzie, but it seems like I've taken on a different form than the usual." Suzie raises an eyebrow but then gets on Turuiemon's back as it starts scaling the walls with it's claw gauntlets. Simon looks at the others and says "Any creative ways on how to get up there or should we take the elevator?" Rika responded by getting on Kyubimon's back and then they too scaled the walls. Simon looked at Henry who got onto Gargomon who merely fired a huge blast which boosted him upwards.
Simon looks at Nia who decides along with Impmon to take the elevator inside the building. Simon gets on Growlmon's back and says "Well, we're going to have to Hyper Wing it aren't we?" Growlmon gives him a look and Simon responds while slashing the card "I at least get one bad pun and that's it."
Meanwhile, Nia and Impmon are in the elevator waiting patiently to get to the top. "Do they always play cheesy music in these things?" Impmon asked. "Not all the time, Some places don't even have elevator music." Impmon then continued tapping his foot on the floor. "Why don't you charge up your ice attack while we're waiting?" Nia asked Impmon who then began to charge the attack just waiting to get to the top.
At the top of the building Simon and co. finally made it only to discover there seemed to be a problem. "Looks like we're dealing with something pretty big, and pretty pissed." Simon said and Henry got out his Digivice and scanned the creature in front of them. "Mihiramon, Data Type, Ultimate Level, Known as one of the twelve Devas. His attacks include: Tiger Wing Blades, Samurai Tiger Tail and Armored Tiger Tail."
Turuiemon looked at Mihiramon and said "It's sad to see that we must fight already Mihiramon, I honestly wish things didn't turn out this way." Suzie was about to prepare a card to deal with Mihiramon, only for him to fly up and make the first strike. "TIGER WING BLADES!" As he said this he struck the ground with his tail creating a shockwave just from the force alone.
Just as they were recovering from the attack Mihiramon then targeted Turuiemon who prepared her gauntlets to block his attack. "SAMURAI TIGER TAIL!" He then struck her with enough force to knock her down. He approached Turuiemon and was about to finish her until... "SUMMONING: ICE!" An ice blast hit Mihiramon and froze his feet to the spot he was currently standing on.
This gave the Tamers an opportunity to strike and the went in for their attacks.
"PYRO BLASTER!"
"GARGO PELLETS!"
"FOX TAIL INFERNO!"
"GAUNTLET CLAW!
Turuiemon went in for her combo first and then moved out of the way for the combined attack. "What now Henry?" Suzie asked her big brother who looked at Simon for an answer. Simon expressed that he knew it wasn't over. When the smoke cleared Mihiramon seemed to not have a scratch on him.\
Afterwards Mihiramon slammed his tail down onto the ice, shattering it and then attacking the other Digimon until all but Growlmon were left standing. Simon got out his sword prepared to take on Mihiramon if he had to. Mihiramon noticed this and went after Simon first. Simon was able to fend off his attacks but unfortunately even he had limits. He was tossed towards a wall where his hood and mask fell. He pulled up his goggles and got back into the fight determined. Growlmon tried throwing a few attacks at Mihiramon but unfortunately they were either deflected or missed entirely. Mihiramon bit into Growlmon's right arm and for whatever reason Simon's right arm started twitching. "That's peculiar, I didn't know Guilmon and I had that kind of link." Simon thought before he looked through his deck praying something, anything would work.
It was then he found the blue card that started his whole adventure. "Well, at this point why the hell not!?" Simon said and he yelled to Growlmon "I've got something that might work! You ready!" Growlmon looked back at Simon despite the pain and responded "Do it, Tamer." Simon nodded and proceeded to slash the card...
CARD SLASH! SUPER EVOLUTION ACTIVATE!
SUPER EVOLUTION._
GROWLMON SUPER EVOLVE TO... WARGROWLMON!
It was then that Growlmon underwent a change that only made him slightly bulkier and bigger as well as having slightly bigger battle shades. However that's where the similaritys ended, Wargrowlmon had gained a cyborg-like appearance with bulky armor that had jets on the back, Metal Axe claws, and a metal jaw.
Simon seemed to have slits in his eyes when Wargrowlmon appeared. Mihiramon swung his tail at Wargrowlmon only for it to be deflected faster than what people would assume Wargrowlmon's speed would be. Nia in the background noticed that Simon was making the same motions as Wargrowlmon as though they were mirroring one another. Mihiramon kept on attacking only to be blocked repeatedly by Wargrowlmon's reflexes. Mihiramon then grew spikes on his tail and said "ARMORED TIGER TAIL!" He attempted to strike Wargrowlmon with the attack but with Simon he grabbed the tail. He pulled Mihiramon towards him and raised one of his claws in the air and said "RADIATION BLADE!" Before striking and cutting off Mihiramon's tail.
Wargrowlmon then grabbed Mihiramon and threw him into the air. But, he and Simon crossed their arms over their chests and exerted as though they were both charging an attack.
"ATOMIC-
"BLASTER!"
They both yelled at the same time as Wargrowlmon fired a laser beam from his chest that completely obliterated Mihiramon into nothing but data. Afterwards the slits in Simon's eyes disappeared and Wargrowlmon turned to face his Tamer. "Simon? Are you okay?" Wargrowlmon asked and Simon responded "I'm fine buddy, but I have to admit, that was weird." Wargrowlmon knew what Simon was talking about since during the whole fight he felt as if he and Simon were one the whole time. "I hope the others are okay." Simon said before looking around now seeing that everyone is a bit flabbergasted at what they just witnessed. Nia went up to Simon and hugged him asking "Are you alright Simon?" Simon smiled as though to respond to her question and just as they were about to kiss Yamaki walked up to the Tamers and said "So, the Shadow Tamer really is a mere teen after all." Simon glared at Yamaki and responded "So what? We killed the monster that was threatening your building. What does it matter to you?"
Yamaki gestured Simon to follow him and he did along with the other tamers. Wargrowlmon de-evolved back into Guilmon before following suit since he had a lot of experience doing so when he was in champion level.
After the battle Yamaki escorted the Tamers and their Digimon within Hypnos' main facility where Janyu seems to be having a conversation with a main that doesn't have much hair on the front of his head but has plenty in the middle and back. He also seems to be wearing a sweater-vest and dress pants with dress shoes. "Dad, who is this?" Henry asked noticing his dad in the facility. Janyu then said to both Simon and Henry "This concerns both of you, so you both have a right to know what happened." The man walks up to Simon and says "Wait, your last name is Ackerman?" Simon nods in response and the man looks down in shame and says "Well, let's just say I knew your mother very well kid."
Simon notices some familiarity in the man and says "Not sure on the connection you have with my mother but I believe you go by, Shibumi?" Henry then said confused "Shibumi?" Suzie added "Shibumi?" Suddenly nearby the sound "The girl who's hard to get!" plays and everyone looks in that general direction. The man on the computer says "What? I get bored okay?" They then continue the conversation where it was before that weirdness. Shibumi said to Simon "Well yeah, my name is Gorou Mizuno but most people call me Shibumi." Simon then responds "Yeah, I did recognize you from the picture taken of the monster makers on the internet." Everyone seemed confused about what Simon said and Janyu responded "There was a picture of us? But, where did you find it?" Simon shrugged and responded "The Digimon wiki. It basically holds all the information of the Digimon franchise dug up by the fans of the series. I even have an old picture of the group for some reason."
Shibumi pulled out the exact photo Simon was mentioning and said "You mean this one?" Simon nodded and took a look at the photo but notices something different. "What's this?" Simon asked Shibumi who responded "What part of the picture are you referring to?" Simon pointed towards the top left of the photo which seemed to have a woman in a face obscured hood. Shibumi noticed that and responded "That's kind of what I was going to tell you about." Simon raised his eyebrow in curiosity.
"You all might want to sit down for this one." Shibumi said and they all found chairs to sit in for Shibumi's story. "Yggdrasil wasn't just causing issues for Digimon as I understand, but also to Humans more specifically the Monster Makers." Henry was confused at first but then Janyu added "It would seem that the same dark force that Simon as the Shadow Tamer told us about that possesses Digimon seemed to have somehow possessed a group of people to hunt down the Monster Makers. I was saved by Hypnos and Shibumi here tried to warn Julia of all this." Rika raised a hand and asked "But what about Mr. Mizuno here? How was he safe?" Shibumi responded "By making sure I was constantly on the move to avoid all of these attackers. I made sure to get to Julia as soon as possible and give her a deck of cards which might be our last hope."
Suzie confused asked "What does a deck of cards have to do with all of this?" "It's all because... My Mother... was one of the monster makers." Simon responded with a horrified expression on his face. Nia asks "But, isn't your Mother's name Clara Ackerman last time you talked about her?" Simon nodded and said "Janyu's code name is T.A.O., Gorou Mizuno's is S.H.I.B.U.M.I. and J.U.L.I.A. is my Mother's code name." Simon then seemed to have water in his eyes but covered his face with his right hand.
Henry asks "How did you know about that?" Simon recomposes himself and responds "Because on the old picture frame at my home the word Julia written in all capital letters was on there. And that means... She was a target the whole time..." Yamaki comes up to Simon and says "So now with this information in mind, what do you plan to do with it?" Simon gets up and responds "I'll find out whatever bullshit reason Yggdrasil had for killing my mother and the other monster makers and I'll make him pay! I know that I shouldn't do this out of revenge but, considering that my best friend had suffered at Yggdrasil's hands as well as myself I have just as much reason to go after this sad excuse for a computer program!" Shibumi stands up and says "How do you even plan on facing off against it? As far as I can tell your Guilmon is only capable of going into Ultimate form, I'm not even sure if a Mega form can stand up to this power!"
Simon points to his heart and says "Excuse me, Just Who! The Hell! Do You Think I Am!? I'm Simon Ackerman, unofficial leader of the Digimon Tamers. And I'm not going to back down from a fight just because I seem to be outmatched. Plus I'm not alone, My friends and their Digimon are right there as well! So don't count them out just because I got a brief power up! Well get stronger together and defeat this bastard! Once! And! For! ALL!"
Yamaki, Janyu and Gorou were somewhat shocked by Simon's speech and Yamaki went up to Simon and offered a hand "In that case, you have our support." Simon reluctantly takes the hand and says "My secret identity stays safe okay?" Yamaki responds "You have my word Ackerman." With new resolve to get stronger, the Tamers walked out of the room and Janyu asked "Do you really think we should put our faith in them?" Yamaki takes off his sunglasses and responds "Simon's more than proved his worth as his moniker, so I'm pretty sure we should put our faith in the group that's more than capable of shredding doubts." Janyu nodded in response and Shibumi thinks to himself "I think I might have some fun here. After all, I do have to at least make up for doing giving Simon the cards in the first place."
Now that Guilmon has an Ultimate form, can the Tamers prevail over the Devas? Or, will Yggdrasil and Vamdemon have something else up their sleeves? Find out next time on Digimon Tamers Crimson!
Starting now, no more rules allowed
Cause I'm throwing off the shackles
I'm breaking free and skipping the toll
No stopping me I sprint to my goal!
Even, If I lose my way
I'll make it okay!
Healing wounds from the path that I've sown
I'll change the threads of fate, turn em' into my own!
Shining brightly for all to see
I hold my destiny
Just like a star!
Who knew I'd come this far!
Cause life's to short to sit there crying
And I'm too busy flying!
With luck my guide and friend
I'll see it right, through the end!
Blazing wildly, burning out
I wanna scream and shout!
All through the night
Because I was born to fight!
Until the day I finally reach you
I'll make my dreams come true
Cause starting now today
It's time to find my own way, But with my rules...
I don't own Sirius by Eir Aoi nor the Lyrics.
