Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 15: Hope is a balance...
"The Digimon Tamers were somewhat growing at a fast rate with Simon as their leader. So far now, 8 members and their are currently part of this team. Simon the fearless leader and his partner Guilmon, Jianliang/Henry Wong and Terriermon("Momentai"), Rika Nonaka and Renamon("Hmph"), Nia and Impmon(Who appears to not have an Evolution. "Hey! Narrator! What the hell!?"), Xiaochun/Suzie Wong and Lopmon(Who looks identical to Terriermon in almost every way.), Daisuke/Davis Motomiya and V-Mon("V for Victory!"), Hikari Kamiya and Gatomon("Meow.") and finally Ken and Wormmon("Did someone mention me?"). However, it would appear that now one Digimon is left to find and pair with another Tamer. Who could this Tamer/Digimon pair possibly be? Find out-" "Excuse me, Mr. Narrator?" Simon broke into the narrator's office asking a somewhat innocent question. "Wait, you're not supposed to be in this office! How'd you get in here?" The narrator responded intimidated by Simon's presence.
"Could you just skip the narration and get on with it already? I mean isn't this supposed to be a character focus segment?" Simon demanded and the Narrator decided "Fine, fine. ruin the suspense why don't you? I mean the audience might want to have some suspense and..." The Narrator was then cut off by a screen that said "Intermission" Insert Monty Python Intermission music
In the Takaishi residence Takeru was having a discussion with people online about the Shadow Tamer. "So, people want me to give an opinion about the Shadow Tamer eh? Just because I'm the only person on this community who hasn't said anything!" Takeru yelled at his computer and then proceeded to type "The Shadow Tamer in my honest opinion is a Douchebag." He entered his opinion and he saw that other people were laughing with his response and then even Twitter got in on the action. "#DouchebagleaderofDigimonTamers. What the hell is this nonsense?" He then proceeded to face-desk nearby the keyboard a few times. "I don't even know who the hell he is. All I know is that Simon asshole is apparently his client. I mean seriously! How the hell is this kid so damn popular! I bet if I had a Digimon he wouldn't be laughing at the moment huh?" Takeru was ranting until suddenly a bright light appeared nearby his window.
Natsuko Takaishi was just walking upstairs wanting to talk to her son about his recent issues with Simon. "Takeru, open up honey! If you have issues, I can help you out! Takeru?" She opened his door only to see that her son, was missing. She decided that she needed to see if the Shadow Tamer could find him but doesn't know his number. "Oh God! My baby boy was taken by some kind of... Alien! Or maybe, it was... A Digimon..." Natsuko thought to herself as she looked around for a phone to call someone she knows about the whole situation.
Meanwhile at the Kamiya residence...
Kari was busy messing around with Miko with a laser pointer that happened to attract her attention. "Is this really how easily entertained cats are?" Gatomon asked bored of watching the cat run around chasing a light. "Kind of hypocritical considering you're a cat Gatomon." Kari responded. Yuko meanwhile was busy answering the phone in the kitchen. "Wait, what happened? Slow down Natsuko. Now please explain what happened." Yuko was trying to calm Natsuko over the phone while Kari and Gatomon walked out of the bedroom curious as to what her mother was talking about. "Don't worry, I'll see if I can tell the Shadow Tamer all about the details. Talk to you later okay?" Yuko said hanging up to phone and turning to see her daughter. "Mom, who was that?" Kari asked afraid of what might have happened. "Natsuko called and told me... Takeru went missing earlier." Kari was shocked and got out her cell phone to call Simon.
Meanwhile in Simon's apartment...
"Guilmon, you had better call me at some point cause I'm kind of tired of waiting for you buddy." Simon said looking at his cell phone somewhat sick of waiting for his partner to return from the blacksmith. "If I had known armor took this long to build... I would have simply seen if my Digivice would scan my drawings."

Simon heard his phone ring at the sound of his ring tone and flipped his phone open. "What is it Kari?" Simon said knowing who it was. "T.K. went missing you say?" Simon responded to Kari's statement about Takeru over the phone and he then said "Alright Kari, I'll get the other Tamers together and see if we can find him by searching the city." He then hung up the phone, got into his Shadow Tamer gear and sent a text to the other Tamers. It said "Meet me outside the apartment complex."
Meanwhile at the Wong residence...
Henry was busy looking things up on the internet seeing exactly if there was anything of interest when suddenly... "#DouchebagleaderofDigimonTamers. What on earth is that supposed mean?" Henry noticed the Shadow Tamer's picture on the Hashtag and thought "Simon, I gotta wonder who comes up with these things on the internet." Suzie comes in and shows Henry a text from Simon and says "What do you think happened Henry? Do you think there's some Digimon attack?" "I don't know Suzie, but whatever it is, looks urgent so we better go meet with him!" Henry responded before grabbing Terriermon who was busy laughing at the trending meme and both he and Suzie walked out the door with their partners.
Meanwhile at the Nonaka household...
Rika was sitting cross-legged pondering on what she should do today considering the lack of Bio-emergence's. But then She noticed her phone vibrate and Renamon appeared next to her "Rika..." Renamon was about to say before Rika put on her jacket and clipped on her Digivice. "I know Renamon. I know."
Yet another Meanwhile...
Nia received the text and decided not only to bring Impmon but also bring dual pistols. "Looks like we're going out for the night Impmon." Impmon then walked beside her and said "You're lucky your dad's out tonight otherwise... He'd give me one of those glares again." Impmon shudders at the thought before walking out the door.
Meanwhile at the Motomiya residence...
"So, you somehow got on the soccer team?" Jun asked and V-Mon nodded in response. "Honestly, I'm not sure what to find surprising anymore. First my little brother gets a Digimon like Simon, said Tamer turns out to be "The Shadow Tamer" and now you're part of the Soccer team. At least my life might be a bit more fun again." V-Mon nodded and Daisuke exited his bedroom. "V-Mon! We gotta go!" Daisuke grabbed V-Mon and ran out of the apartment as fast as he could. "Oh, little brother. You're in such a rush these days aren't you?" She then notices a text on her phone that says "TK's been kidnapped! Gotta go help! Love, Davis."
Meanwhile at the Ichijouji residence...
Ken was pondering a bit about his Digimon wormmon. "So Wormmon, how does yours and V-Mon's connection work?" Wormmon was about to respond, however Ken receives a similar text but from Daisuke instead of Simon and he grabs wormmon and his Digivice before telling his parents where he was going.
Outside of the apartment complex Simon and the other Tamers were gathered outside to see what the big deal is. "So, care to explain what's going on Simon?" Rika said a bit impatient considering the lack of Digimon for her to fight. "Yeah, no offense but you haven't really called us at all after school and now you decide we should all get together now?" Henry added also a little bit suspicious. "Look guys, I didn't mean to not say anything but as of today we now have 3 new Tamers in our group and I had to help them with being Tamers so that we can all fight together." Impmon was looking around while Simon was explaining this and said "Where's Guilmon at? Isn't he supposed to be here with you?" Nia answered for Simon saying "Guilmon's been busy getting some blacksmith make him armor that Simon designed for him through drawing it."
Impmon didn't really comprehend the context but, considering his Tamer's relationship with Simon doesn't surprise him that she does know this. "So, somebody was kidnapped?" Suzie said a bit confused and Lopmon was a bit horrified. "Our friend Takeru Takaishi disappeared last night and we assume that a Digimon kidnapped him." Kari said to explain to everyone the situation. "So I suggested we get together and search the city, Rika, you, Suzie and Hikari will search East Shinjuku. Henry, you, Daisuke and Ken will search West Shinjuku. Meanwhile, Nia and I will check North Shinjuku." Simon said explaining the game plan to everybody but then Terriermon said "What about us? Or are you saying we search with our partners?" Simon nodded in response and Terriermon then got on top of Henry's head and said "Sometimes I guess I gotta momentai don't I?" Henry giggled at that thought and headed off with Daisuke and Ken. Rika said "So, why do I have to play babysitter to these two again?" Kari was a bit offended by the statement but didn't let it get to her.
Gatomon on the other hand was glaring at Renamon so much so that there were visible sparks between their glares. Suzie was not really offended considering she at least got to go with someone. "Considering that you're just as good at being a Tamer as I am, I thought it best to have our newest recruits be paired up veterans besides me. Also I don't want anyone going off on their own. Trust me, I've seen enough scenarios where going off alone got someone killed." Rika sighed and said "Renamon, search the buildings with Gatomon in that case!" Renamon was a bit skeptical but then said "As you wish Rika. Truce?" Renamon was holding out her paw to Gatomon who was also skeptical and said "Why so willing?" Renamon responded "Simon and Rika's orders. Plus it might give us some actual bonding time." Gatomon reluctantly accepted and climbed to the rooftops with Renamon.
"Well Lopmon, you ready?" Suzie asked Lopmon who responded with determination "Anytime Suzie. Anytime." She climbed onto Suzie's shoulders and they went with Rika and Kari towards the east. "Well, just you, me and Impmon now." Nia said as they headed north and Simon responded "That, I agree with."
Henry, Ken and Daisuke were looking around West Shinjuku, and decided to have some conversation with one another. "So Jianliang was it?" Ken asked Henry who responded "You can call me Henry if you want." Ken then asked "Okay, Henry. I heard you want to be a programmer. Is that true?" Henry responded "Well, I want to someday be like my dad who actually was one of the Monster Makers." Daisuke then said "That sounds cool! I bet you're super rich aren't you?" Henry sheepishly grinned and said "To tell you the truth, the project was shut down to lack of funding. Therefore our family isn't exactly rich so, we live in an apartment. Which so happens to be next door to Simon's."
Ken was thinking about what a coincidence it was for Henry and Simon to be neighbors and then Daisuke added "Y'know, I actually remember the first time I met Simon. My sister was really depressed after what happened 3 years ago." Henry then asked "What happened?" Daisuke responded "My parents died in a car crash. And Jun turned 18 just a few days before that. She became my legal guardian, and from then on we decided to be honest to each other about everything. One day, Simon came to my apartment delivering some money to Jun that his dad told him to deliver. The first time I saw him I was a little shy at first glance but then, it was like he knew that something happened since my parents were good friends with his. He was also able to help comfort Jun in her time of depression." Ken and Henry were taken aback by these words and Ken said "That was, well said. So he really is such a kind person huh?" Daisuke nodded and he said "So Henry! You're one of his best friends so why don't you tell us what you think?" Henry then said "Well, that's quite an interesting story really..."
Meanwhile their Digimon were busy chatting it up and Terriermon said "So how long have you guys been here?" V-Mon said "About a couple days." Wormmon said "Same here but, we seem to be missing one friend." Terriermon asked "Who's that?" V-Mon responded "Patamon. He was the first out of all of us to reach rookie level from what Wormmon had told me. And it feels like, If we find this TK then we find Patamon." Terriermon thought to himself "So, they're searching for a friend as well huh? I'm just wondering... Is my brother okay?"
Rika, Kari and Suzie were walking around East Shinjuku but finding nothing. Suzie was wondering what kind of Digimon could have kidnapped Takeru. "It's probably some kind of fleshy Digimon... No too scary. Or maybe a... Flyier Digimon... No that's not even a word... Or maybe it could be something like Ebemon!" Rika was looking straight forward and Kari asked "So... Can I ask you something Rika?" Rika turned her head and said "Yeah, what is it?" Kari was a bit shy asking this but said "Do you think you could teach me... How to be... Tough?" Rika raised an eyebrow and Kari said "I figured. Toughness can't really be taught can it?" Rika shook her head and said "Is that all you wanted to ask?" Kari nodded in response and said "Could you please teach me?"
Rika then responded "But, you're already a Tamer with a Champion level Digimon? Unless you're trying to impress someone." Kari gave in and said "It's Daisuke. I'm in a relationship with him, and we're both really shy about each other at times." Rika raised an eyebrow again and said "I'll teach you but on one condition. Try not to overdo it, okay?" Kari nodded and gave Rika a salute. Rika then started telling Kari more about how the Digimon card game and Suzie decided to get some tips from her as well.
Meanwhile on the rooftops Renamon and Gatomon were moving across the rooftops very swiftly. Renamon then stopped for a minute and Gatomon confused asked "Why'd you stop? We haven't covered the whole city yet." Renamon turned to face Gatomon and said "I know why you hate me." Gatomon tilted her head and asked "You do?" Renamon nodded and turned to face the city saying "It's true that I was part of a corrupt cult who wished to kidnap innocent children from this world, and use them to make it easier for us to become Mega. The moment I saw what we were using, I couldn't stand it. I left my own village in a search for some method of ending that madness. And now I feel, if anyone can do it. Simon and the others can." Gatomon then said "I actually feel kind of bad for you Renamon. I honestly thought 'If you see a Renamon or it's dark counterpart, they're bad news'. But now, I see that you're trying to end these atrocities." Afterwards they then decided to continue leaping through the rooftops of the city.
Simon and Nia meanwhile were searching North Shinjuku and Simon said "Well damn, I'm getting nothing around here. And I forgot to tell them to give a signal." Impmon then said "If we find anything just leave it to me. The moment we find something, I'll light a fire in the sky to signal the others." Simon responded "I appreciate that Impmon, thank you." Impmon with hands behind his head said "Just doing my job." Nia asked "So Simon, do you think Guilmon will come back?" Simon responded "If you're worried about my safety let me tell you a couple things. First, I'll be fine. After all, I'm able to fight and defeat powerful champion levels. Second, Guilmon said he would be returning today and he would call me when he does." Nia then says "Okay, it's just I was thinking since you aren't ever out at night unless you have Guilmon with you. And I haven't seen him in days."
Impmon then said "Yeah, it gets depressing after a while. But when he does come back, I hope he's sorry!" Simon smiled a bit but then a fog suddenly appeared in front of them. "Impmon!" Simon yelled and Impmon threw a large fireball at the sky that the others saw, and knew what that signal meant. The fog then dissipated but revealed Takeru somewhat unharmed with a transparent ominous figure behind him. "Well, at least now I know that you're safe but, I'm guessing we're not are we?" Takeru smiled and said "Just you aren't safe. Shadow Tamer!" Simon was a bit puzzled by his statement and said "So, let me get this straight... You're telling me that I'm not safe. But my friends are?" Takeru nodded as the others arrived on the scene "Takeru!" Kari yelled to her friend. "Looks like the gang's all here. Now then tell me, why exactly are you with The Douchebag Leader of the Digimon Tamers!?"
Simon then looked to Henry, who said "Apparently it's a trend that was started a few hours ago on the internet." Simon then looked to Takeru and said "Alright, what did the ominous figure offer you?" Takeru then said "He promised that I'd get the chance to crush you once and for all. And plus now, this gets even better! I know that you're Simon Ackerman under that mask!" Simon then looked to the ominous figure and asked "What are you doing to him?" The figure then said "Well, if you must know I, Daemon am simply enhancing the dark desires in his heart. So now, he's going to serve me in order to destroy... You!" Another Digimon appeared that seemed to be a small orange and white creature with bat wings as ears but actually flies. However it's eyes seem to be blank of expression. "Patamon! What did that monster do to you?" V-Mon said angry at Daemon who responded "I gave this boy the tool to defeat our main threat!"
Patamon then said "Patamon Evolve to..." He then begun to change his form into an angel like figure with eight wings, a face mask covering it's eyes, and a short staff. "Angemon." Simon was horrified by this transformation and said "Guys, stay back." The others were shocked to hear this. But then Simon continued "Angemon's power is on par with that of an Ultimate and so far none of us have gotten that far. So stay out of this!" Simon then pulled out his Katana ready to fight Angemon. Angemon's staff disappeared but then his right hand looked like it was on fire. "Heaven's Knuckle!" He then fired the attack at Simon who braced himself for the attack but suddenly a read beam of light intercepted the attack.
Smoke was obscuring the view on both sides until it cleared revealing an armor clad figure with red shades over his eyes. Insert Suck your blood
"Sorry I'm late Simon." The figure said to Simon who responded "Better late than never... Guilmon!" Takeru angered by this sudden appearance said "Okay, now, the gloves are coming off." Angemon was charging up another attack but then Guilmon suddenly evolved into Growlmon and shrugged the attack off. "My armor was made to withstand attacks from Digimon that are higher levels than me. So, when I get stronger... So does the armor." Growlmon then charged at Angemon and the two started fighting. Simon then yelled "Make sure you don't kill him! He and TK are being manipulated so all we have to do is give a good pounding to both." Simon walked towards TK who was rightfully pissed at Simon until Simon punched him in the face with his right hand. TK was knocked onto the ground and Simon continued towards Daemon who was smirking at this attempt.

"So, Ackerman. You seem awfully confident about this whole situation." Daemon said smugly. "So Daemon, tell me... What's your gain in all of this? Why would you want to cause senseless destruction?" Daemon responded to Simon's question "I don't really need a reason other than the fact that I'm evil." Daemon broke out into evil laughter until Simon interrupted saying "So... You're a lemon." Daemon confused asked "How in what way am I fruit?" Simon responded "Because Every. Villain. Is. Lemons."

Meanwhile in Vamdemon's castle...
Vamdemon watching the fight a bit intrigued by Simon's words says "Reapermon, bring me a bowl of Lemons." Reapermon shows up with a bowl of Lemons and asks "Why Mi Lord?" Vamdemon responds "Because I'm committing cannibalism tonight." He then takes a bite out of one of the lemons.
Meanwhile back in the fight...
Growlmon headbutts Angemon thinking that might snap him out of his trance. Oddly enough it actually works. "Thank you for freeing me from Daemon's spell noble Virus." Growlmon nods and says "It was my pleasure Angemon." Angemon turns his attention towards Daemon and throws a heaven's knuckle at Daemon who said "What!?" Angemon then said "I will not allow you to manipulate anyone anymore! Surrender peacefully if you will!" Daemon then faded away laughing evilly while doing so. TK suddenly felt the darkness leave him and he then saw that his friends were concerned for his injury that he suffered. "I guess all I really needed... Was a punch to the face. I hate to say this but... Thank you Ackerman."
In the aftermath Patamon came up to Simon and said "So you're the Shadow Tamer?" Simon nodded in response and Patamon then said "Cool! I got to meet the Shadow Tamer today!" TK came up to Simon and said "Look, Simon I actually want to apologize for... A lot of things. I'm sorry for thinking you were a douche, for being a douche towards you, for ever thinking that you were taking my friends away, and most of all... For letting all of this happen. I understand if you don't want me on your team. Besides I made this sweet innocent Digimon attack you! How messed up is that! Also I-" Takeru was interrupted by Simon's hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry TK. Besides there's always the quest of redemption. It's not like you ended doing horrible things to innocent people or Digimon."
Takeru started to smile and Patamon landed on his head saying "I forgive you TK." Takeru started shedding tears of both joy and sadness. A glowing orb appeared before Takeru which revealed itself to be a yellow Digivice with a white ring. "So that means... I'm one of you?" Simon nodded in response with the others behind him and said "You're welcome to join us if you want... Takeru, Takaishi." Takeru wiped his tears and took Simon's hand and offer to join.
Takeru later went home to his concerned mother who thanked Simon for finding her child. He then told her a lot of things and that he was no longer going to be paranoid about losing his friends since now, he made some new ones that day.
