I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Shoutmon: Nekomon hadn't battled in so long he went completely beszerk things didn't get better when he ran away and found a herd of Monochromon to try and take out. They got worse when he digivolved into Feralmon and went loose in the city. Fortunately Nick was able to snap him out of it. But Nekomon doesn't trust himself anymore
012: Taming the beast within!
Nekomon was laying in his bed staring at the room sighing in sorrow. Thinking about how disastrous it was when he Digivolved, just how dangerous and wild he was. He actually thought about killing Nate. Thinking back to it made him groan in shame and dig his head into the pillow.
"Nekomon?" Nate asked coming into the room. He hadn't gone anywhere with Nate all week.
"What?" Nekomon asked.
"How are you feeling?" Nick asked.
"No idea…" Nekomon sighed his tail curling up more.
"Nekomon…." Nick muttered.
"I can't Digivolve not knowing that I'll have no control over myself…" Nekomon sighed.
"I bet you could if you tried!" Nick cried. "Nekomon you were able to stop yourself from hurting me-"
"WE WON'T GET LUCKY NEXT TIME!" Nekomon cried out angrily.
"But…" Nick started.
"I don't want to talk about it." Nekomon sighed.
Nick sighed and left the room to go to school once again. Once he got there he saw Miyuki and Justin and rushed up to them. "Guys!" he called.
"I need someone to talk to." He sighed.
"I kind of figured." Justin sighed.
The three sat and talked in the school field later that day for lunch as they ate they talked about Nekomon. "Do you really believe he'll be okay the next time he digivolves?" Justin asked.
"Not right away but I know he can control it. He just has to believe he manage to stop himself!" Nick assured.
"You told us that over and over." Miyuki pointed out.
"I know….I just; wish he had more faith in himself." Nick replied. "I know he's not a bad Digimon."
"So do we Nick," Justin replied. "But none of this is like the show."
"Yeah none of the Digimon had any trouble Digivolving even when it was their first time. Unless you count Angemon but…that's not the same thing as what happened with Nekomon." Miyuki replied.
"I do find it weird that Dorumon and I were able to control our Digivolutions right away though. Yet Nekomon was not." Serpemon stated.
"It might have to do with the fact he hadn't fought for so long. Digimon need to fight, if we don't we go stir crazy. Obviously Nekomon pushed his high tolerance level for not fighting or something." Dorumon suggested.
"That's true." Serpemon replied.
"Henry told me Terriermon couldn't control himself either when he first Digivolved." Nick replied. "So it's not just him. But he thinks he's gonna hurt everyone now."
"Because he would have in the state he was in before. I'm sorry but there's no getting around that." Ryuto said coming up to them.
"Ryuto!" they shouted as he came over with Armadillomon.
"Hey you guys!" Armadillomon stated.
"Hey how's it going? I heard Yoshi should be getting out of the hospital soon?" Miyuki asked.
"Yeah, it was only a slight fracture it's been about three weeks. He's beginning physical therapy today." Ryuto replied. "But that's not the only reason I came here." He said.
"Nick Renamon suggested that Nekomon go do a little mind training with Renamon and Lopmon. They think meditating might help prepare him for the next time he goes champion." Ryuto replied.
"That could work if his minds a bit stronger it might be able to deal with that instinct better." Nick replied.
"And as for the rest of us those Monochromon are still out there. But right now they're away from the city where they're not bothering anyone." Ryuto stated.
"But how long till they come back? And what if this mysterious controller takes control of them?" Justin deduced.
"Exactly," Armadillomon replied.
"Then we should get going." Miyuki stated. "Except for Nekomon and Nick; they need to get Feralmon under control."
"Right," The two replied.
"We'll join you guys as soon as we can." Nick added as they headed off to the address Justin gave them.

Nick was impressed with the Neighborhood when he and Nekomon finally made their way too it. They gazed in awe at the nicely furbished houses that surrounded the area, in Nick's case a little too in awe.
"Hey!" Nekomon called from within the large bag. "We're supposed to be going to Rika's not gawking at her neighborhood. That and I don't want to puke while you're spinning around!"
"Sorry." Nick replied as he started making his way towards the house.
"I haven't meditated in forever; no that's not true. I tried back when Henry was scanning me. I'm out of practice…with a lot of things." Nekomon sighed.
"Then why'd you stop?" Nick asked.
"I had, had enough of fighting. It was all I ever did when…never mind…" He sighed. His ears drooped as they faced Rika's door.
"We're here…." Nick breathed as he knocked on the door. It opened revealing an older woman with grey hair and lighter highlights. Similar to Rika's in a bun and a casual sun dress.
"Oh hello, you must be Nick and Nekomon," said the woman.
"You know about me?" Nekomon asked.
"Yes I do." The lady replied. "Rika told me." The two looked at each other and shrugged as the lady opened the door. "Come on in Rika's in the living room." She said.
"Thank you ma'am," Nick replied bowing. He gave a look to Nekomon who yelped and bowed as well.
She smiled and showed them to the living room. Inside they saw Rika catching up on some studying. She heard them and looked over. "Hey you're here." She replied.
"Yeah, your mom let us in." Nick replied.
"My mom?" Rika replied. "She's at- Oh that was actually my grandmother." Rika explained.
"GRANDMOTHER?!" The two yelped, surprised by how young she was. Rika ignored them and lead them to the back door.
"Renamon's outside waiting for you Nekomon." She said opening the door.
"Alright," Nekomon muttered heading out. The garden was large and well kept. Nekomon looked around but a presence suddenly appeared behind him he jumped. Turning quickly he saw Renamon. "You scared me!"
"Sorry are you ready?" She asked.
"It's been a while since I meditated. But yes I am to relearn at least. Where's Lopmon?" Nekomon asked.
"Right here." She replied from behind him. Nekomon jumped a little in surprise.
"Geeze I wonder what would happen if you actively tried to scare people." Nekomon sighed putting his paw over his heart.
"You saw that already." Renamon smugly replied referring back to when they rescued Justin from his guardian. Now in custody, Nekomon thought back to this and nodded. He then sat down and tried to meditate as did Renamon and Lopmon.
Nekomon found many things distracted him breaking his concentration easy. "This is harder to relearn then I thought it would be." He muttered.
"The key is to relax and block them out." Renamon instructed.
"Right…Just like Gaomon said. Then again it was easy to learn in a cell in night where we wouldn't be caught…" Nekomon focused on his own Heartbeat trying to drown out the streets. The Sounds of cars and people could be heard for miles especially since his hearing was better than a humans and even some Digimon.
He suddenly found himself dropping down. He opened his eyes to find himself in a strange area. It felt familiar. It felt like him but it didn't feel safe. He gulped and looked around. The area was clouded and foggy. He suddenly heard growling from right behind him. He gasped instantly feeling something breathing near him. It was much bigger than him. He stopped himself from screaming and looked back. But the beast quickly started moving. It circled around and Nekomon quickly saw what it was.
"Feralmon…" He muttered worriedly. The champion glared at him and took a step but Nekomon stood his ground. "This is my mind! I'm supposed to be controlling you!" he said.
With an angry snarl Feralmon rushed at him claws and teeth barred he roared intent on tearing the small rookie apart. He screamed and fell back. He suddenly found himself staring at the sky panting.
"Nekomon!" Lopmon cried as he and Renamon looked over at him. He sighed and sat up.
"I'm alright." He replied. "But I saw him Feralmon he's in there. And I think he wants out…" he replied ears drooping.
"You have to take control. You two are just as much each other as you are yourselves." Renamon replied.
Nekomon sighed and nodded. "What can I do?"
"You'll have to conquer him."Lopmon replied.
Nekomon sighed and tried to meditate again. "Really hope I don't die in my own mind." He thought to himself.
The Kids watched their Digimon in a bit of awe. It didn't take Renamon and Serpemon as long as Nekomon to return to that meditative state.

Miyuki sighed wanting to sit down she had been hiking for hours. They were able to get a bus and get out to the city outskirts. But so far since starting their search they were unable to find any of the Monochromon that had escaped. "They're giant Rhino dinosaur things! How are they so hard to find!?" she groaned.
"You'd be surprised." Dorumon retorted.
"This forest is thick enough to cloak them." Serpemon noted from a tree near Justin. "It's ideal for them." As he said it was true. The forest had many thick large trees they were spread apart enough for even the Monochromon to walk through but thick enough that from a distance they couldn't be seen.
"What do they eat they've gotta be hungry by now." Yoshi said as he held onto a stick to help with balance.
"Grass and rocks," Horrormon said hanging upside down. "So maybe they're actually in the clearing." He suggested. "Is there a clearing around here?"
"Supposedly it's-" Ryuto started only for Horrormon to cut him off.
"Great I'll go find it!" He stated shooting up through the trees scaring a couple of birds and breaking a few branches.
"He's not subtle is he?" Serpemon asked.
"Not in the slightest." Armadillomon sighed.
Horrormon burst through the trees and looked around he saw a place where the trees just suddenly seemed to stopped, he grinned madly and flew down. "I found it!" he stated before flying off and making the others rush after him. Yoshi had dropped the stick and took off full speed.
"Yoshi!" Ryuto called.
"I'm fine!" he called to his brother from ahead. The four kids rushed forward the trees quickly rushing past them. Eventually light came bursting through and the stopped quickly.
"We found them!" Miyuki cried.
"It's about time!" Dorumon muttered as they watched.
"So what do we do know?" Yoshi asked.
"Call the others they'll direct us from there." Justin replied as he dialed in the number. As that happened however something was happening with the sky. Lighting suddenly struck all the Monochromon and they suddenly stood into position.
"What's happening?" Miyuki asked as he phone started buzzing. She picked it up.
"We're detecting a program being run in your area are you alright?" Yamaki asked.
"We're fine but the Monochromon they're AHHH!" Miyuki screamed along with the others as the Monochromon rushed forward they managed to get out of the way as they plowed along back towards the city.
"Miyuki is everything alright!? Miyuki come in!" Yamaki called.
"We're alright but the Monochromon are just charging off back to the city and we don't know why. They look like they're ready to mow down everything in their path!" Miyuki stated.
"They're breaking all the trees!" Horrormon shouted as trees snapped from the rushing dinosaur Digimon falling to the side as they made their way back to the city.
"What do we do?" Miyuki asked Yamaki.
"Get back to the city I'll call the others!" Yamaki instructed.

"I'm not afraid of you! This is my mind, and you're supposed to be me and do what I want!" Nekomon growled.
Feralmon roared in his face barring his teeth with a mighty swipe of his paw Nekomon was sent flying across the room he hit the ground and groaned getting up. "Uhnnng well that could've been worse."
"Claw crusher!" Feralmon shouted jumping down at him his left paw out and glowing with extended claws. Nekomon jumped away.
"You wanna fight fine! Strike combat!" he shouted landing a bunch of combos on Feralmon's head it growled backing away from the flurry of attacks.
Feralmon rushed at him roaring loudly Nekomon however jumped away before he could land another attack.
Feralmon snarled again rushing after his rookie form. "Strike combat!" Nekomon shouted getting him in the face. He growled moving away. Nekomon however quickly rolled under his legs to trip him up he fell over and watched as his prey escaped towards the end of the arena.
Angered Feralmon jumped into the air over his small Rookie form and spun quickly. "Blaze Fang!" He shouted dropping himself down on Nekomon who managed to dodge as he did he turned back to see Feralmon recoil a bit from the move.
"I wonder…" Nekomon muttered to himself. "Hey ugly!" he shouted to Feralmon.
The large cat turned on him and snarled loudly. "Bet you can't hit me with that move ever!" he said making a face. Goaded Feralmon roared jumping high into the sky and charging up the attack as he was ready to rush down at him Nekomon smirked. "You call that a fire ball? I've seen embers hotter than that!" Nekomon mocked. "Give me some real fire!"
Roaring the large tiger spun faster and faster roaring loudly until an intense white fire it snarled and rushed forward Nekomon waited staring trying not to move. "Gotta keep calm, gotta keep calm…just a little more..NOW!" Nekomon quickly dove away from the attack. As he predicted the impact of hitting the ground made him recoil and stop moving just long enough for Nekomon to get right in his face.
"Wild striker!" He shouted slashing Feralmon in the eyes. It howled in pain standing up on it's hind legs. Using this opportunity Nekomon rushed forward head-butting it in the chest with a large cough and groan Feralmon was flipped onto it's back. It roared at the impact and groaned. Panting it turned to its side and pulled itself to his feet.
Nekomon was panting just as hard. "Nekomon….Nekomon…NEKOMON!"
"Huh?" he asked looking around.
"Nekomon!" Nick's voice broke through.
"What's going on?!" Nekomon yelped.
"It's the Monochromon we have to stop them before they reach the city." Rika explained.
Nekomon gasped. "I'm ready let's do, it. But I have no idea if I can control myself the next time I Digivolve."
"We don't have time to figure that out." Rika said as they ran off.
When he got outside Nick saw a van waiting for them. He climbed in with the others and it drove off.
"They're coming in from the North Shinjuku area." The driver called back to them as he made his way up north. "Lopmon Suzie will meet you there," He added.
"Understood," Lopmon replied but suddenly the truck was hit forcing it to stop. They looked outside to see a large Ram looking Digimon glaring at them. With Large golden horns and and a metal plate on it's head silver with a red gem and gold highlights. Similar to the collar around it's neck. It also had clasps around it's ankles.
"What Digimon is that?" Nick asked.
Rika pulled out her D-Power and scanned it. "Oryxmon, Free type Armor Digimon: Part of the Nature Spirits. Special attacks are Milky erode and Mystic Bell."
Oryxmon let out a cry and rammed the car again. "What are you doing!?" Nekomon shouted. "We've got somewhere we need to be!"
"Mystic Bell!" He roared jumping up and down the sound wave from the bells on his ankles and neck made a powerful sound wave that hit everyone. It felt like a knife was stabbing their brain as it surged out. Nekomon groaned as he covered his ears. When the attack ended Oryxmon was ready to attack again but Nekomon countered.
Wild Striker!" He shouted clawing the Goat Digimon in the side it let out a cry as he bucked and bucked eventually flinging Nekomon from his back. He landed on his feet.
"He's trying to stop us from getting to where we need to go…" Nick growled then it came to him. "Rika Lopmon, Renamon go on ahead we'll hold him off."
"Alright good luck," Rika said as he jumped out of the car and stood beside Nekomon.
Oryxmon growled when he saw the Truck go he turned to it and coughed up something in his throat. "Milky Erode!" He shouted coughing up a inky grey substance that surged towards the car's wheels.
The Card is spun around and is grabbed by Nick. He then faces the Digivice forward with
the card slot facing towards him "Digimodify!" he shouted swiping the card. "Agunimon's Pyro Tornado activate!"
Nekomon growled energy surging inside him as he started to steam. He put his arms and out and spun. "Pyro Tornado!" He shouted spinning around rapidly covered in fire. He burnt away the strange slime. Then he continued on hitting Oryxmon in the side. The Goat screamed as he sent rolling across the ground.
"Digimodify Kumamon's Blizzard Blaster activate!" Nick shouted swiping the card.
A large green gun with multiple holes in it appeared in Nekomon's hands and he took aim. "Alright Goat boy let's cool you down!" Oryxmon snarled and started charging towards Nekomon. "Blizzard Blaster!" he shouted. A bunch of powerful snowballs rushed forward from the gun. They crashed and splatter on Oryxmon but he plowed through them to the horror of Nick and Nekomon The latter being sent crashing into and sent across the ground screaming as he hit the ground with a thud.
"Nekomon!" He cried pulling at his cards only for Oryxmon to ram into him. Nick only felt the sharp horns connect before he was sent flying across the field and crashed into the ground.
"Nick!" Nekomon cried rushing forward and helping him sit up. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, but my cards…." Nick cried turning and seeing them all over the ground he rushed to pick them up. Nekomon saw that the first card he picked up was a Digivolution card. He then turned to Oryxmon who was getting ready to charge again.
"He won't wait, make me Digivolve!" Nekomon shouted.
"But what if you lose control?" Nick asked worriedly.
Nekomon thought about this and clenched his fist he weighed the options in his mind. Eventually he sighed. "I'm in my right mind this time so maybe I won't….also you made me snap out of it once. I can do it again….just believe in me okay?"
Nick stared but nodded. He quickly swiped the card. "Digimodify, Digivolution activate!"
DIGIVOLUTION….
We see an egg inside the screen of Nick's Brown and green D-Power. A Command activates. And out, come, green rings with orange writing
"Nekomon Digivolve too…"
His skin and training bands tore off his paws it then peeled off the side of his face going across the whole thing then it tore off the skin of his legs and his pants and tail revealing the small wild cat Digimon being encased in a green egg with bright brown writing large paws were covered one by one as claws poked out. Then his body and tail and finally his head as the egg exploded.
"Feralmon!"
Fearlmon stood there for minute glaring. Nick watched with hitched breath as his eyes opened. To his glee they had full on pupils instead of slits. "You did it!" he cried out happily.
Feralmon smiled and nodded. He then saw Oryxmon rushing at them and growled. "This is for hurting my Tamer….Claw Crusher!" he shouted rushing forward claws out and slashing at Oryxmon who stood slumping over slightly before disappearing into data.
"Alright Feralmon!" Nick cried out. Fearlmon walked over to him and knelt down.
"Get on." He grunted.
"Huh?" Nick asked.
"If we hurry we can help stop the Monochromon." Feralmon explained. Getting it Nick hopped onto his back.
"So Cool!" he squeed. Feralmon smirked.
"Hang on!" He said taking off at a very fast pace. Nick held on tightly as buildings and trees rushed by them. Eventually they could see the city thin out. Nick could even see some of the other Tamers watching. Feralmon seemed to remember something about the area they were going too.
"Hey Nick did you say this area hadn't got much rain this year?" Feralmon asked.
"I did why?" Nick asked.
"I've got an idea." Feralmon replied as he suddenly veered off their current path and climbed up a small area of rocks allowing them to look over the area. Feralmon then let Nick off.
"What are you?" Nick asked but Feralmon was already gone and rushing down towards the front of the Monochromon herd.
"I hope this works…." Feralmon muttered trying to picture how Kyubimon preformed her Dragon wheel attack in his mind. "Okay I think I got it now or never!" He shouted jumping forward and spinning and propelling himself forward. "Blaze Fang!" He shouted becoming a fire ball that rolled forward and circled around the Monochromon. They screamed and backed into each other as a ring of fire surrounded them.
"Alright nice work Rika and Kyubimon!" Kazu shouted gleefully.
"That wasn't us…." Rika stated surprise. He looked back and yelped to see both her and Renamon behind him.
"We were just about to move into action when that happened." Henry noted.
"So what happened?" Miyuki asked.
Renamon smiled and looked up at the Rock formation towering them beside them. "I think I know." They turned to see Nick waving and cheering at them. It wasn't long before he began racing down the hill. "Feralmon, Feralmon!" he cheered rushing to his Digimon and hugged his head. "You did it! I knew you could control it!" He said tears forming slightly in the side of his eyes.
"Thanks for believing in me Nick…" Feralmon replied simply closing his eyes.
Suddenly all the Monochromon were shrieking they turned to see something strange with the fire like something had ignited it more. "No It's only supposed to trap them!" Feralmon cried out.
"That's not you something's fanning the flames!" Renamon cried as the fire suddenly surged up becoming bright blue and destroyed the Monochromon. They all gasped in horror as the fire disappeared along with them.
"What happened?" Takato muttered in shock. Yamaki stared and ran off leaving the Tamers to discuss things amongst themselves. But he ran as fast as he could. Eventually he saw what he was looking for. A small van.
"Moriyami what did you do!?" he screamed at it. The Driver merely looked back at him smirking as it drove off. "Moriyami, MORIYAMI!" he shouted.
Takuya: Well I certainly didn't see that coming. This is definitely gonna come in later! Find out on the Next Digimon TG2
