Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 18: Bullsheep
After the camping trip our heroes decided to part ways for now and prepare for the next Deva attack. However Simon and Guilmon decided to walk home with Gai. "So Simon, how was the trip?" Gai asked Simon who responded "Well besides the Deva attack, it was pretty fun. However, I do have to ask one question." Gai then responded "Ask away." Simon then said "What kind of strings did you need to pull just to become a teacher anyway? Knowing you, a teacher would probably be the last thing you'd ever want to do." Gai took off his glasses and removed the band tying up his hair before responding "It was one of the reasons why I traveled around the world in the first place. It was mostly to get stronger, but I did actually have a passion for world history." Simon chuckled a little and Gai then said "You would find it funny now wouldn't you?" Simon responded "How else do you think I would react to that. But don't worry I'm just joshing you. Whatever you want to be ain't my business. Just so long as you don't become a criminal."
Gai thought about that last bit and remembered something important. "Do you think we can pick up this conversation later?" Simon at first is skeptical about Gai's question and Guilmon broke his silence by saying "Is it something extremely important?" Gai nods to Guilmon's question and runs off towards a different direction. Simon waves to Gai and he and Guilmon continue walking towards their apartment. Simon called Kittan to see if he was home only to see that he wasn't home at all. "Huh? That's peculiar. He's usually in his apartment, or working inside the complex. I'm assuming something must be up." Simon then made a B-Line for home.
Meanwhile with Henry...
Henry was looking at a card one of the kids on the bus back home gave him. He figured to swipe the card through his Digivice... Only to find that it was the same blue card that brought Terriermon into the human world. Terriermon kept poking at the card tempting Henry to swipe it and see what it does. "Y'know staring at a card for hours on end isn't going to help anyone. Why don't you try swiping the card and see if it evolves me just like Guilmon and Renamon!" Henry sighed and responded "Terriermon, it's not just that. I just think that with all that's been happening lately... That I might not even be worthy of being a Tamer." Terriermon pouted and smacked Henry in the face with one of his ears. "Henry! Don't ever say that! Simon wouldn't have wanted you to help him if you weren't worthy to be a Tamer! Besides, we're all best friends right? I mean you and I are like brothers and stuff. Even if you still don't agree with what I want to do." Henry a little bit shocked responded "Do you have anyone you're concerned with? Any friends back in the Digital world?" Terriermon then calmed down and responded "To tell you the truth Henry... I had, a brother."
Henry raised an eyebrow and said "A brother? I thought Digimon didn't really have siblings, or parents for that matter. What happened?" Terriermon got a little downcast and said "My older brother was pretty inspiring to me. He's the reason I wanted... To go to the Human world."
Flashback...
Two young Terriermon were wandering through the village. One of which seemed a little bigger than the other. One day, they both looked up to the night sky of the Digital World and saw the giant digital sphere in the sky. "Y'know little brother. I was thinking about something." The older Terriermon was looking up and saying to the younger. "What's that Big brother?" The younger asked the older. The older Terriermon looked towards the younger and said "I was thinking that, we should go up to that giant sphere." The younger Terriermon then responded "What for? I just hear that any Digimon who tries gets disintegrated into nothing but spare data."
The older Terriermon then said "We're rookie level. That usually applies to Champions and above, So you need not worry little brother of mine." They both smiled at each other and gave a somewhat pinkie promise.
However, That peace did not last...
The home village of Terriermon was being brutally destroyed by a white dragon-like knight. Some did escape to underground routes, But the two that didn't go underground got separated. The younger Terriermon who looked badly injured walked aimlessly, looking for his older brother and an answer to a new question "Why? We did nothing. The royal knights just suddenly attacked our village. I thought we had... achieved... peace." With tears in the young Terriermon's eyes he then said "Big... Brother... Where are you? Big Brother?" He wandered, until he came across the hub section of the Digital world where he saw Gallantmon talking with an Impmon and a Leomon.
End of Flashback...
"And that's what happened." Terriermon finished explaining to Henry. "Terriermon, is that why you want to fight? Because you want to be like your older brother?" Terriermon turned back to his Tamer with tears in his eyes, nodding in response. Henry then picks up Terriermon and says "It's okay now. I promise I won't ever question myself as a Tamer again... Alright, Little brother?" Terriermon looked up to Henry smiling at Terriermon who then started to cry into Henry's chest. Henry then started to pet Terriermon and said to Terriermon what he said to him years ago. "Momentai."
Meanwhile, in the back alley...
There were four men standing in different areas of the alleyway. Those four men turn out to be Kittan Ackerman, Erwin Esthiem, Gai Tsutsugami and Kamina Asagi. Here, they were discussing about Simon's group of Tamers. "It's kind of odd how after all these years that a new group would be called forth." Gai said not as concerned as the other three. "Yeah, but why did it have to be our kids?" Kittan added. "Well either way, it just feels like they are fully capable of handling themselves... Especially with Simon as their leader." Mr. Asagi pointed out knowing someone capable was leading them. Erwin then said "I would still like to make sure that my daughter is safe." Gai then responded "She's literally got Simon and Impmon protecting her at pretty much all times, So I'd say she's pretty safe."
Kittan then said "Look at it this way, they all seem to be getting along and at the very least Simon has yet to have a quarrel with them." Mr. Asagi responded "Didn't Rika have a less... Favorable impression on Simon before?" Kittan nodded in response and said "Well right now he feels that he's close friends with Jianliang, Rika and Nia since they are the first Tamers of this generation." Just then another voice said "What do you mean by this generation?" They all turned and saw it was Mr. Mikisugi walking in on their meeting. "Don't tell me that there was another generation before them." Kittan said "Which one of you was followed?" They all shrugged somewhat. But then Mr. Mikisugi responded "Don't worry, I didn't follow anybody out here. I just happened to receive a tip from Emir who apparently saw Gai and Kamina walking towards the alleys at night."
Just as Mr. Mikisugi mentioned Emir he appeared before them and said "Couldn't help but notice that two male teachers seem to be heading for what I assume is a "book club meeting." Gai a bit shocked thought to himself "Are we this easily compromised? We were doing just fine until this kid showed up!" Mr. Mikisugi took off his glasses that he was wearing and said "Now I'd actually like to address some concerns regarding some of the other Tamers. Like say, Daisuke Motomiya and Ken Ichijouji who are members of the soccer team I coach." Kittan then responds "As long as you don't say a word about what goes on here then you're fine to discuss your concerns." Mr. Mikisugi shook Kittan's hand and said "Don't worry about it. After all, I am good at keeping secrets. Emir! Do you agree to the terms?"
Emir shrugs his shoulders and says "Eh, what the hell. Besides I might actually get some insight on this whole story." They all continued the meeting discussing the Tamers. "I actually heard that Davis ended up with that Kamiya girl." Kittan said to Mr. Mikisugi who responded "He doesn't exactly brag about it, but he has told me about her. He says that in many ways he's always had this crush on her, but it seemed that he would never get his feelings out." As Kittan and Mr. Mikisugi were discussing about Daisuke, Erwin says "Seems like we have another relationship between Tamers." Gai nods and adds "I'm a bit concerned about the incident regarding Simon six years ago." The others heard that and Emir says "What, you mean the incident where he loses his arm? That's kind of old news." Kittan responds "It's not just about his arm. Now this, you can never tell Simon unless he finds out about the truth." They all nodded while Emir and Mr. Mikisugi were confused about what Kittan was about to discuss...
The next day...
Simon and co. were at the Hypnos building after school to see Gorou Mizuno about the blue card Henry received. He looks over the card and says "Yep, that's definitely my code embedded into the card right there. I'm just surpised that my work ended up getting into the hands of you guys." Mr. Mizuno hands the card back to Henry who says "So, where did you get the idea for these cards?" Mr. Mizuno ponders this thought and says "I only put in the code. The rest was up to your desires." Henry was a bit confused by this until he remembered what Digimon were originally intended for... Children. "How does that carry over now?" Mr. Mizuno responds "It's ultimately up to you and the rest of the Tamers to see about this uncertainty." Henry nods in response and thanks Mr. Mizuno.
As Simon and co. were about to leave the building, their digivices started beeping and Yamaki said "Another Bio-Emergence? Find out what's going on and see what you can do!" He then heads back up the stairs. Simon and co. then saw what appeared to be two large patches of fog instead of one. "Sometimes I think that T.K. is a little too busy!" Rika says regarding the emergence. Simon responds "Sometimes we can't always bring in the easy-button. Besides Daisuke and Ken are at practice and right now we seem to be the only ones here!" Impmon jumps off of Nia and says "So, why are they taking forever to get here then?" Simon responds "I think this might be a bit of a first time experiment."
Meanwhile in Vamdemon's castle...
"You sent... Two Devas... AT ONCE?!" Vamdemon said somewhat provoked by Daemon's lack of patience. "We can't wait for the barrier to gradually fall. We need to take immediate action!" Vamdemon went up to Daemon and backhanded him in the face. "This is why we wait for my orders. Because then, we wouldn't be having this issue right now!"
Back in the human world...
Simon and co. were busy playing some actual go-fish while waiting for the Devas to pop out. Unsurprisingly to Simon, Guilmon appeared to be winning. "Got a two?" Terriermon asked Renamon who shook her head in response and said "Go-fish." Terriermon a bit frustrated just picked up another card. However before they could have another go, The devas finally came out of the fog. "About time!" Rika said handing her cards to Simon who picked up the entire deck before getting into a fighting stance.
The two Devas seemed to be centaur versions of a bull and a sheep. However, one had two swords on both sides and the other had a crossbow on it's back, They both did seem to have torso armor except the bull's was orange and the sheep's was purple. Henry and Nia both got out their Digivices and Henry analyzed the bull while Nia analyzed the sheep. "Vajramon, Vaccine Type, Ultimate Level. Attacks are: Terra Blade and Deva Blade." "Pajiramon, Virus Type, Ultimate Level. Attacks are: Bao Gong, and Thunder Stomp." Nia and Rika then slashed an evolution card through their Digivices to evolve Impmon and Renamon.
EVOLUTION._
IMPMON EVOLVE TO... WIZARDMON!
RENAMON EVOLVE TO... KYUBIMON!
Kyubimon and Wizardmon both went after Vajramon who pulled out his swords and said "Terra Blade!" Before striking the ground and causing the two Digimon to back away as he used the broken up rocks as projectiles. Simon and Henry then decided to slash evolution cards for Guilmon and Terriermon just to even the playing field.
EVOLUTION._
GUILMON EVOLVE TO... GROWLMON!
TERRIERMON EVOLVE TO... GARGOMON!
They then both charged at Pajiramon who seemed to start making a strange sound which seemed to irritate some of the Tamers but somehow made Growlmon fall asleep while Gargomon and the others remained awake. "Man, I thought American pop music was bad but, this is just plain ridiculous." Simon said commenting on the current status of the fight. Gargomon tried firing his Gargo-pellets but it only served to make Pajiramon angry. Pajiramon then charged at Gargomon and then raised it's legs and said "Thunder Stomp!" Before stepping on Gargomon multiple times causing quite a large amount of damage.
"GARGOMON!" Henry yelled before slashing a rock armor card which only slightly lowered Gargomon's pain. "What should I do? Am I just going to let Gargomon die? Am I just... NO! I promised him that I'd be his brother and that we would be his new family! I won't let him down!" Henry thought to himself before deciding to pull out the blue card. "You ready little brother?" Henry asked Gargomon who responded "Just do it!" Henry nodded and then...
CARD SLASH! SUPER EVOLUTION ACTIVATE!
SUPER EVOLUTION._
GARGOMON SUPER EVOLVE TO...
Gargomon then began to change into what appeared to be a cyborg like Digimon with armor on it's feet, torso, hands and of course the head. The helmet had two large ear like projections on both sides and had what appears to be launchers for hands.
RAPIDMON!
Simon takes out his Digivice analyzing Rapidmon. "Rapidmon. Vaccine Type, Ultimate Level. Attacks are: Rapid Fire, Homing Blast, Tri Beam and Miracle Missile." Rapidmon seemed to be hovering above Pajiramon somewhat surprised by his new form. "You, get down here right now and face me!" Pajiramon then charged up it's crossbow and said "Bao Gong!" Before firing the attack that Rapidmon effortlessly dodged. "I think you got quite slower a few seconds ago. Now then, Rapid Fire!" Rapidmon fired two of his missiles at Pajiramon who couldn't even dodge the attack. Rapidmon then thought of a tactic that involved spinning around Pajiramon until it got dizzy. Rapidmon then charged up a beam by getting into a stance where he tried shaping himself like a triangle. "Tri Beam!" Rapidmon said before firing the attack at Pajiramon, who at the moment was too dizzy to even dodge anything. Pajiramon was then shattered into nothing but data. "Momentai... Bitch." Rapidmon said landing on the ground.
After Rapidmon defeated Pajiramon it seems that the stalemate between Vajramon, Kyubimon and Wizardmon was still going on. However, it seemed Vajramon was seeking out a new target. "Now then pest, DIE!" He said before he went to strike Growlmon. However... Vajramon's sword seemed to collide with Simon's sword who blocked the attack. "Maybe you should wait for a fair fight before targeting Growlmon. Unless you lack honor as a swordsman." Simon said while fending off Vajramon's attack. Vajramon then moved his sword away and said "How about this Tamer... I challenge you to a duel! And not your Digimon but rather you yourself Shadow Tamer!" Simon held his sword towards Vajramon and said "Fine then, but give me until tomorrow and I'll be prepared to kick your ass!" Vajramon then sheathed his blade and said "Fine, I shall meet you on your terms... Ackerman." He then disappeared into more fog.
Meanwhile on the rooftops, Emir watched the whole fight and saw that Simon was challenged by an Ultimate level Digimon. "Hope you can actually win Simon, If you don't then, I'm not sure who I'm going to message every now and then." He said but then he thought to himself "I honestly don't want to see you get yourself killed. Besides after what I heard, you need to be strong alright pal?"
Simon was issued a challenge from Vajramon after Pajiramon fell. Can Simon prevail? What did Emir find out about our resident Tamer? And where did they get those playing cards? Find out next time, On Digimon Tamers Crimson!
