Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 14: Kindness extends to all

5 Minutes Earlier at Ichijouji residence...

Ken was busy researching about Digimon on his computer trying to see if there's any connection to their presence in the real world. "This doesn't make any sense... How can this site have all the information on the franchise and yet not have anything related to what's going on right now?" Ken kept on searching for answers only to see a picture of the Monster Makers pop up. "So then, which one of you knows the most about this..." He looks through the photo and notices next to it are code names next to their actual names. He also sees the name Janyu Wong next to T.A.O. and Clara Ackerman next to J.U.L.I.A. Ken then writes those names on a notepad and decides to investigate this matter.

As he walks down the stairs he notices that his parents are both backed into a wall afraid of something. "Mom, Dad? Is everything alright?" Ken asked his parents who just noticed him entering the room. "Ken! Call the exterminator! There's a giant bug in the room!" His mom yelled to his son. Ken notices the insect in the room which turns out to be a Digimon that he saw on that site. He then takes his cell phone and calls Daisuke instead of the exterminator. "Davis, could you and Simon come over here? We have a bit of a problem." "Well, let's just say we have a large insect that might be a Digimon." "Thanks I'll calm my parents down so this'll be easier."

Ken puts away his cell phone after talking to Daisuke and approaches the worm-like creature. "Hey now, it's okay. Nobody's gonna hurt you... I promise." Ken says picking up the Digimon and comforting it. "Ken, I understand you want to emulate your brother but, why?" Mr. Ichijouji asked confused by the scenario. "Because this isn't some insect! He's a Digimon like the ones you would see on TV." Ken responded. Daisuke and Simon walked into Ken's apartment having parted ways with Kari a little bit ago. "I guess part of the problem has already resolved itself..." Simon said while Daisuke was waving to Ken.

15 Minutes Later...

Simon finished explaining to Ken's parents about the whole "Digimon Tamer" Business going on nowadays... "So now you understand what your son might be involved in Mrs. Ichijouji?" Simon asked Ken's mother who responded "I can see now that you're very well meaning and Ken's actually wanted to get to know you for some time... But I don't understand why you need my little boy to go out and endanger himself." Ken stood up and said "I think this might actually be a good thing for me... I've been a bit afraid of myself since those days back then. But now, after meeting Simon and getting a Digimon I'd say that hopefully I might be able to do some good out of this." Suddenly the Digimon spoke up "I didn't mean to give the silent treatment but, I just wanted to find the person who would be my Tamer... I didn't know that he'd be a kind boy such as you. I'm known, As Wormmon and I want you to be my Tamer, Ken Ichijouji..."

Ken smiled seeing his Digimon happy and a ball of light appeared in Ken's hand which turned into a Digivice that was black but with a white ring in the center...

"Well this is a tad bit ironic, isn't it?" Ken said to Daisuke who responded "Sometimes black is a cool color, it isn't just evil. Tell you what, I'll help you out with this Tamer business and then you can join us!" Ken thought to himself "I didn't think that Simon was running a club here. But then again with a group of 4 people growing into now 6 or 7 I guess maybe I could tip the scales..." Simon extended a hand towards Ken and says "You're welcome to join Ken, All I ask is simply yes or no..." Ken then takes the hand and responds "Of course! If Davis and Kari are in this club then I'd be rude not to join!" Simon raises an eyebrow at the club statement but decides to shrug and take the response as it is...

Meanwhile in the Digital World...

Vamdemon was busy trying to figure out which Digimon to send next when Daemon entered his throne room. "Mi lord Count. I must ask a question of you..." Daemon said to Vamdemon. "Speak servant of Yggdrasil. What is your main concern right now?" Vamdemon spoke to Daemon who responded "I was wondering why you don't just simply send another Deva into the real world. Wouldn't that be the logical next step in defeating these Tamers?" Vamdemon then showed Daemon a map of the sphere above the Digital World with what appears to be a dotted line around it. "As you can see Daemon, the humans have noticed that the barrier between our world and theirs has weakened... So, in order to send another Deva into the human world, we would need to weaken the barrier more by sending powerful Champion level Digimon into their world."

Daemon then responded "In that case, I shall send very powerful champion level Digimon to their world and then this so-called arch nemesis of yours won't even think to trifle with us once the other Digimon have been dealt with." Daemon then leaves the room and Vamdemon goes back to pondering on his throne. "So, it seems that now Daemon has caught wind of the situation he's now trying to speed the process up a few notches. If he tries provoking our nemesis, then that will surely ensure a grave will be dug for him." Vamdemon said to nobody in particular. Reapermon showed up listening in the conversation. "How deep of a grave? And what will be his Epitaph?"

Vamdemon responded "It will be likely so deep that even the largest Digimon would be unable to escape. And it would say "Here lies Daemon... His lack of knowledge and hubris was his downfall. Rest. In. Pieces..." Reapermon then faded away from the room and Vamdemon continued to watch Daemon's actions... "Let's see what you do Daemon. How will you speed up the process?"

Back in the Human World...

Daisuke and Ken headed out to the park followed by Simon and Kari. Simon noticed that Ken and Daisuke were busy chatting with each other about their respective days... "So Kari, how long have Daisuke and Ken known each other?" Simon asked Kari who responded "Well, it's actually been 4 years since they first met." Simon ponders that thought and then asks "So, how exactly did they meet one another?" Kari then said "Ken used to be a bully mostly due to what happened to his older brother Osamu Ichijouji." Simon responds "So, he had a bit of pent up aggression and he ended up giving off the wrong impression due to unfortunate implications?" Kari shrugs and says "For the most part. But after one incident where he saw that he was going too far he just fell into depression.

Nobody wanted to be his friend after all of this. Nobody except for Davis of course..."

Flashback 4 years ago...

A lonely 10 year old boy was sitting by himself on the rooftops of the school sulking. "I don't blame them for hating me. I don't deserve friends, Heck, I don't even think I deserve the life I live. Osamu... I'm so sorry." He then cried for sometime. But then the door opened on the rooftop and there was an auburn haired kid who's hair was also somewhat spiked. "Excuse me?" The spiky haired kid said to Ken. "What do you want? Did you come to make me feel bad? Well go ahead, I don't care. After all, you're probably one of the kids I beat up." The kid then walked up to Ken and said "Well, I wanna give you a second chance. I can see that you feel bad about what you did and you did apologize. So, I'm here to help you however I can. That is... If you want help." Ken started to stand up not noticing the kid's nervousness around the whole situation.

"It's fine, I accept your offer. And I promise to change for the better." Ken said. "Well, in that case let's introduce ourselves. I'm Daisuke Motomiya, But my friends call me Davis." Daisuke said extending a hand towards Ken. "In that case, it's nice to meet you Daisuke. I'm Ken Ichijouji, and I intend on making good on my promise to you!"

End of Flashback...

"And that's how it all started between those two..." Kari finished saying... "I see, so afterwards these two became very close friends?" Simon asked and Kari nodded in response. "It's like those two have a connection with each other, and can tell when the other is hiding a secret." Simon ponders this information and thinks "Now that I know about Ken, I might want to ask about their friend Takeru. If she'll answer me." Gatomon pops out from the trees and says "So, you guys are playing some catching up?" Simon shrugs in response and Gatomon then asks "Where's your Digimon Simon? I heard he's supposed to be really tough." Simon responds "He's at a blacksmith constructing some armor for him that I drew for him a couple nights ago. He'll be back by tomorrow. So for now, I'm currently without a Digimon partner and I'm just doing my nightly duties around the city.

Daisuke and Ken meanwhile were busy discussing about their Digimon. "So your Digimon is that blue dragon playing hide and seek with Wormmon?" Ken asks Daisuke who nods and says "Whenever he does win in that form he seems to shout "V for Victory!" or something like that." Ken responds "Perhaps maybe the V in his name stands for victory and he feels triumphant when he shouts that phrase?" Daisuke shrugs but then suddenly a fog appears out of nowhere. "Is that, A Digimon?" Ken says a bit nervous about what's to transpire.

What appears is a giant rock monster with bandages and chains holding it together. "Davish! I'll take him down!" V-Mon said ready to fight this Digimon. "Golemon, Virus type, Champion Level. Attacks are: Sulfur Plume and Golem Punch" Ken read off his Digivice as Daisuke got out an evolution card for V-Mon.

Card Slash! Evolution Activate!

EVOLUTION._

V-MON EVOLVE TO... XV-MON!

XV-Mon used an uppercut to subdue Golemon, however Golemon felt little recoil and proceeded open it's mouth. "Sulfur Plume!" It said as it breathed fire to hit the flying XV-Mon who barely avoided the attack. Ken was watching this battle as Golemon kept shooting fire at XV-Mon who merely dodged every attack. Wormmon went next to Ken and said "Ken, I'll help however I can. Just say the word and I'll go in and fight!" Ken seemed to doubt Wormmon at first but remembering Daisuke telling him about having faith is the key to victory, he then said "Alright Wormmon, show em what you're made of!" Wormmon then jumped and while glowing said "With pleasure Ken!"

EVOLUTION._

WORMMON EVOLVE TO...

Wormmon begun to change into what appeared to be a bipedal dragonfly with claws, gauntlets with spikes in the wrist part, spiked shoulders, longer antennae, and compound eyes.

STINGMON!

Stingmon kicked Golemon away from XV-Mon. "Thanks for the assist! Not sure how this would've gone without you." XV-Mon said to Stingmon who responded "I appreciate the complement but now we need to focus on defeating this Digimon!" They gave a look at each other and nodded as though they already have a plan. "I guess XV-Mon and Stingmon are mirroring us now!" Daisuke said with Ken realizing that this does seem very true considering both of them are very good friends. "Critical Crunch!" XV-Mon bit into Golemon causing cracks to appear in the Digimon's arm. XV-Mon then threw to Stingmon who prepared his gauntlet spike which extended into a purple blade. "Spiking Strike!" He then flew into Golemon cutting through him with the blade and reducing him to nothing but data...

"I guess we weren't needed after all." Gatomon said disappointed in not being able to fight. Kari on the other hand was very impressed by their abilities and said "I guess that goes to show that sometimes the Digimon mirror their Tamers. Right Simon?" Simon was looking at both the Tamers and thought "A lot of things are making me miss Guilmon. I guess maybe the Motomiya promise thing ended up paying off for both these two huh?"

Now that Ken has joined the Tamers, how will they fare against Daemon's oncoming forces? And where has that fourth Digimon gone off to? Find out next time, On Digimon Tamers Crimson!
