Man, no wonder you were turning into a redhead kinda guy. At her side, a Sunflowmon floated in the air, eyeing the monstrosity it was facing off against warily
"We need to defeat it before it hurts anyone else Sunflowmon!" the redhead called out to her digimon.
"Yes, Aiba!" the Sunflowmon agreed.
The Data Eater raised the six tentacles on its front into the air, each one stretching high and looking ready to lash out at the girl and her digimon.
"Sunshine Beam!" Sunflowmon interrupted it, firing off a large beam of energy that impacted the ugly thing before it could react.
Only, it didn't even budge from the attack, and all six tentacles shot down towards the digimon and busty redhead. Tearing through the air like rockets.
"Garurumon stop it!" You ordered instantly.
Howling, the wolf digimon blitzed forward, covering the distance in the blink of an eye, "Flash Freeze!" your digimon roared, breathing out a wave of ice cold power that washed over the tentacle monster and froze it in place, tentacles stopped just mere few from spearing into both Sunflowmon who had turned around to protect its tamer, and the girl herself.
You jumped off of Garurumon's back and ran over to the girl. She looked at you with eyes wide with surprise, "W-what, who are you?" she stammered.
"No time!", you cut her off, grabbing her arm and pulling her back, raising your digivice into the air, "Reload, Devidramon, Gatomon!"
Your other two digimon appeared, Gatomon landing on Garurumon's back and Devidramon flapping his wings to keep himself aloft mid air.
"Attack all of you!" you ordered.
You were interested in the beginning, but the way it just shrugged off that attack from the Sunflowmon, and just its sheer looks. The thing really put you off, no wonder everyone was so scared of these things.
And this one was a lower tier one from what rumours you'd heard of their body shapes.
Blue flames filled Garurumon's mouth, a sphere of energy generated in Gatomon's palm, Sunflowmon's face began to light up once more as it apparently agreed with your order and Devidramon's mouth began to generate a storm of destruction.
"Howling Blaster!"
"Neko Laser!"
"Sunshine Beam!"
"Dark Gale!"
They all attacked and all four attacks together caused a massive explosion with enough force to almost send you and this Aiba girl flying even as you ran further and further away from the fight with her.
And when the smoke cleared and you turned to look, you gasped, because despite all that power thrown at the Data Eater, it looked almost perfectly fine, no worse for wear at all.
You clicked your tongue. This is the last time you go looking for the eldritch abomination look a likes. Really, your curiosity is going to get you killed one day.
"Garurumon, freeze it again then all of you attack it once more!" you shouted to the digimon.
Its tentacles already lashing out were dodged quite easily, almost lazily by your three digimon. Sunflowmon got lucky, it seemed to see your three digimon as a bigger threat and aimed for them, and they were in front of her, so she got away with minimal effort.
"Wait, who are you?" the girl, Aiba asked, pulling her hand from yours roughly and grinding to a stop.
"Flash Freeze!" Garurumon howled, and you saw him out of the corner of your eye let loose with his freezing breath attack again.
You rolled your eyes, "The guy saving you from getting tentacle raped by the lovecraftian horror back there princess."
Her eyes drew up in horror that the thought, "Ew disgusting man," she wrinkled her nose, "But seriously, why are you fighting the Data Eater?"
"Neko Laser!"
"Dark Gale!"
"Sunshine Beam!"
Another explosion rocked the platform, and Aiba almost went backwards, landing on her ass, would have if you didn't catch her arm and keep her steady.
You realised your blunder almost immediately. If you had let her fall, she would have no doubt gave you an awesome panty shot with how short her skirt is.
'FUCK!' you internally bemoaned.
You bet they were yellow.
"Thanks," she said, at least she was grateful, "But seriously why are you here? I thought Zaxxon put out an order to keep everyone out of Kowloon."
"Hey kettle, I'm pot," you replied with with a smirk. She glared but you waved her off, "I was fighting some digimon and heard about the Eater being about, so I figured I'd come check it out and see if anybody needed help," you lied casually. Always better to come off as morally upright and the hero type for certain people.
She blinked, "Oh," she blinked then pursed her lips, "Still it's really dangerous taking on an Eater, you shouldn't be here."
In response, you snorted, "Says the girl using only one Champion to fight the Eater, while I sent out three," you retorted, before pointing your finger behind her.
Just in time for her to see the Eater launched out of its frozen prison, right into Garurumon's Howling Blaster, that burned away at it and forced it up into the air, where Devidramon roared and fired twin lasers from his eyes that caught it mid way between them and exploded.
The Data Eater along with it.
"Well, that wasn't so hard," you hummed, "Creepy as fuck, would not do again. But not too hard really."
Granted, that's probably because of all the digimon your own had been devouring right left and centre. Hell, you just had your team munch on three powerful Champion's they would have been hard pressed to beat yesterday.
"Right you three, back inside!" you called out to your team. You didn't want them touching this things data at all until you analyzed it and found out what it was.
Raising your digivice, you returned your precious minions inside and began making your way over to the floating cloud of data left behind by the rape monster wannabe .
"Wait, what are you doing?" Aiba asked as you stepped passed her.
You rolled your eyes, lifting your digivice and activating the scan part of your digivice. Really, it's a nifty little program you invented. Basically, a sub program made up of a combination of the Digimon Capture program every hacker used these days, the Digimon's ability to load data to get stronger and your own Copy and Paste program.
Allowing for you to both scan half the data of a digimon to create an In-training with higher than average potential thanks to their previous levels much more advanced amounts of data, and even configure that data so that your Eden avatar could use it like Digimon could.
The fact that when you did it and it worked, some of the digimon's innate power boosted your avatar to make it stronger was just the cherry on top.
"What's it look like I'm doing?" You asked rhetorically as you began scanning every piece of data left behind by the Data Eater, may as well take all of it since you didn't really want to give it to your digimon without figuring out what made them tick first and seeing if it was safe, "I'm taking its data." you told her, looking over your shoulder to as your digivice began slurping up the data left behind.
Her eyes widened in genuine terror, "No wait!" Aiba screamed and literally began running towards you.
You blinked. But it was too late either way.
All of a sudden, you found yourself flung. You were floating. No you were flying. No you were swimming. you were burning. You were drowning. Oh it's sunny in Malibu today. Man that porn star can really take a pounding. Oh-ho hey isn't that -

"WHAT THE FUCK!" you suddenly stood up, finding yourself in your room once again. Outside of Eden. Only, something was different. And not just all that fucking information that flooded your brain until it became totally babble and incomprehensible nonsense.
No, the difference was. Somehow, you were still wearing your golden chrome digizoid gauntlets.
Things got a bit hectic when you noticed the gauntlets on your arms. And the mental connection to your digivice and abilities usually only available inside Eden.
At first you thought you were delusional, or dreaming. Until you realized how lucid you were. Dismissing your gauntlets in your room and watching them disappear was super wiggy.
You went through a kind of combination of horror and glee when you went to pull your computer chair back and lifted it bodily into the air with ease. It weighed over 50 pounds and it felt like a feather to you.
That told you that you passive enhancement buff's from gaining digimon skills transferred over to your real body now as well.
"What the hell did that Eater do to me?" you wondered aloud, laying on your bed.
You lay there pondering for what felt like an hour, before something else occurred to you.
Your digimon!
"Oh shit!" bouncing up from your bed, you practically flew over to your computer where the physical copy of your digivice was. You knew it was there without even looking.
The mental connection usually between its data copy in Eden and your avatar now existed between your body and the physical version as well.
Lifting it up, you switched on the screen and called up your digimon. Breathing a sigh of relief when all four popped up on the screen.
"Boss what happened?" Devidramon got straight to buisness.
You shook your head, "Something weird happened guys - after I took that Eater's data, I got thrown back into my real body, and it's like my body has all the abilities my avatar did."
"Odd." Gatomon commented.
"That's awesome!" Black Greymon cheered, Garurumon barking an affirmative alongside him, "That means boss is super strong in the real world now too and not just in Eden, isn't that a good thing?"
You opened your mouth to reply and paused. Because really, it was a pretty good thing wasn't it? You could probably walk off getting hit by a bus right now.
What the hell were you freaking out about so much for you damn pansy?
You sighed, a smile coming to your face, "Yeah, you're right buddy," you told him, "Thanks, I needed to hear that."
"No problemo boss!" the dinosaur digimon replied.
You eyed the digivice thoughtfully. Your gauntlets could be loaded, but what about your digimon?
Well, there was really only one digimon you could use to try it. The other three were way too big. You lifted the digivice, "Gatomon, reload!"
And to your amazement. Gatomon appeared from the digivice, standing atop your bed.
"Oh my god..." your mouth dropped open and eyes went wide.
After both freaking out again at the thought of your digimon being in the real world, and gushing about how awesome it was. You decided to take Gatomon on a walk through Shinjuku, both to clear your head and show her the sites.
You took her on a long walk as she rode your shoulder. You showed her the market area, the orphanage you grew up in, the giant two buildings belonging to the mysterious Hypnos company who not one person you'd ever asked had known about what they do exactly.
It was the local park you took her too last, where things got a little freaky.
"What is this?" Gatomon asked, peering intently at the bank of fog that just came out of nowhere and covered the area.
"Eh, it's just some weird weather that's been going on the past few months, I see one of these every few days at some part of the city, it's no big deal." you waved her off.
"No!" Gatomon hissed, "This isn't normal."
Her yellow eyes shifted about before she pointed to the right, where the centre of the park should be, "Over there!" her eyes went slit, almost viral looking.
You turned to look and to your surprise, there was a beam of light building there, getting larger and larger until it spontaneously disappeared and left a shadow behind.
This is some horror movie shit right here.
Good thing you're blatantly superhuman with the even more outrageously powerful Gatomon riding your shoulder.
"Come on out whoever you are," you ordered casually, "If you don't, I'm going to get violent."
There was silence for a moment and then the shadow in the fog turned.
"Make..." a nasally voice rang through the air, and the shadow stepped into view. A small purple dragon glared at you with fangs bared, a Monodramon, "Me digivolve!"
With a roar, the digimon launched itself at you. Instinctively at the threat of violence, you stepped forward yourself and threw a fist out in a punch, "Supreme King Fist!" you roared back.
A massive fist of darkness launched from your fist and before the Monodramon could react, the fist ploughed into it and erased it from existence in an instant.
All that was left was purple data. And it took you a second to realize, that instinctively, you'd called your gauntlets out at the very second you struck out.
Huh.
Raising up your digivice, you scanned half the data to gain a Tsunomon egg and let Gatomon load the rest. Weirdly, the fog disappeared the moment its data went bye bye.
Though there was a frown on the cat digimon's face. "What's wrong?" you asked her.
"That data..." she trailed off and shook her head, "There was a bit of some kind of blockage when I tried to load it, I only got maybe a fifth of it added to my power."
Huh, that would make it stupidly hard for a digimon to digivolve when loading data alone in the real world.
Wait.
Your eyes widened. Ruki! The little missteps when she spoke, her shock at digivolving in Eden being so simple at least for the rookie and champion level. She knew, didn't she?
Did that mean she had a digimon of her own? Maybe met one that came through to this world? And how did Eden tie into this? You knew they ended up in Eden after fleeing the digital world. Cold they initially be aiming for the real world?
A tug on your hair drew you from your thoughts, "We must move boss," she hissed quietly, "I can sense many of those vehicles you showed me today rushing towards this location."
Well now, the plot gets thicker.
Still, for now, it was best for you to get out of here before you drew any unwanted attention. You could just hack the street camera's later to find out whoever the hell it is rushing here.
To be safe, you activated your Stealth skill and like a super awesome ninja left the park quickly and quietly.
Once you were out of dodge, you pulled our phone up and called Ruki.
"...H-hello." she gasped into the phone deeply after a few minutes.
You raised an eyebrow, "Hey Ruki, I was wanting to see if you wanted to meet up."
She panted into the phone and you could hear quick pounding foot steps on pavement and the noise of a crowd, "No can do, in a rush to get to a...shop for my grandma before it shuts," she replied in a rushed fashion, "Gotta go Hayato, I'll see you tomorrow in school."
Then she hung up.
"Huh," your other eyebrow joined the first, "Well that was a thing."
You decided to just head home for now. There you can check out those security cameras and their footage to find out who the hell was rushing towards that park.
And of course, cuddle with your lovely little kitty cat!
Hacking the camera footage was a dud move. Someone had already gotten to them and wiped the footage clean. Something fishy was going on, and when you tried to bring it up with Ruki after class ended and school let out, she kind of froze up for a moment before beating a hasty retreat.
It all but confirmed she was involved with digimon appearing in the real world. And some big wigs also were, probably the government.
Honestly, on your way home you kind of welcomed the familiar sight of mist pooling out over an area and hiding it from view. Just so happening to be in Shinjuki Park that you walked through every day on your way home from school.
"Badaboom!" a voice shouted, echoing through the mist. You saw a tiny flash of red, and knew you found the core of the most.
"Gah!" you heard the same voice cry out after hearing something heavy smacking against flesh.
"I..hah...won't lose to ya'! Ya damn green turd!" the voice spoke up again after the sound of something hitting the ground rang out.
You heard a screech of rage, almost monkey-like in reply to the taunt, and sped up a little bit, stepping through the mist and taking in the two combatants.
One was a Goblimon, you knew that screech of rage sounded familiar. Oh the irony.
The other, you cast a look at its downed opponent. A child-like digimon with purple skin that reminded you of Demi-Devimon in looks, but kind of more humanish.
The little guy looked all beaten up to hell, but still sported a defiant glare, both at the Goblimon and at you.
"What'a you lookin' at, huh punk!?" the Impmon, you recognized it as, snarled at you.
Goblimon screeched at you this time and launched itself at your turned back while your attention was on Impmon.
You reached out without even turning and grabbed the goblin digimon by the throat, squeezed until it choked, and then pulled it around and delivered a punch as hard as you were able straight to its face.
Its skull briefly crunched under your fist, before the green rookie gave a low keening cry and burst into green flakes of data.
"That wasn't very hard was it?" you asked with a raised eyebrow. You were also very carefully keeping your voice level so as to now show much you wanted to gush over your own epicness.
Because holy shit that was fucking awesome! you're a bonafide badass!
Impmon gaped at you for a few seconds before fury filled his eyes. "Are you kidding me!" the little digimon screamed and began to slam his red gloved hists against the ground, "That thing was beating me around like a ragdoll and some human kills it so easily? I've struggled and fought every day since I was born and this is all I amount to!"
You watched as the virus digimon seemed to suffer some kind of break down at the revelation of your strength and start raging against the ground, the air, and you a bit.
Not a bit of fear to him at all, or if there was, he was too defiant to let it hold any sway.
You kind of liked that.
"I've raised four champion level digimon." you spoke up, breaking him from his raging.
"..What?" Impmon gave you a befuddled look.
You smiled, walking over and crouching down, "I've raised four very powerful champion level digimon," you repeated, then held your hand to to the downed digimon, "And I like that attitude of yours, what do you say? Become my digimon and I'll make you strong."
Impmon continued to stare at you for a good thirty seconds. Before he growled and narrowed his eyes, "..You know what?" he began, "Fine, I'll let you be my tamer as long as you make me digivolve." he placed his gloved hand in your own and you helped him up.
"Don't worry little buddy, I'll have you at the champion level within a couple days at most." you reassured him.
"..Heh, maybe this won't be so bad then." Impmon replied with a snort.
Before you could do anything else, a bright light shot up from the ground and an orb of light formed at chest level. And within it, a strange device.
Reaching up, you took it in hand and the glow faded away completely. This thing was definitely some kind of digivice.
"What the fuck?" you gaped.
Where the fuck had it come from? No seriously, what!?
"So when we gonna get to me loading some data?" Impmon asked, casually laying propped up on your bed as you tinkered with the odd digivice that came out of nowhere when he decided to become your partner.
His attitude was a far cry from just a half hour ago when he went all agape upon meeting your digimon when you put him in your original digivice to take him home without anyone seeing him.
You sighed, stashing the black and white digivice in your pocket, "Let's go now," you decide. honestly you haven't gotten too far in tinkering with it. Even with the Visualizer skill, all you'd been able to narrow down that it formed some kind of connection that linked you and Impmon together, and that it could apparently buff Impmon with modify cards.
Fucking Ruki, so that's what she had been talking about.
You pulled out your actual digivice and held it up to Impmon, his eyes widening as he saw it, "Oh man, I don't wanna get sucked up like a noodle." That was all he managed to say before being slurped up into the digivice like some wet pasta.
"Now then," you hummed, turning to your computer and pressing your hand against it. Time to test what you found out last night.
Your mind connected to the data of the computer, and then suddenly you weren't in your room anymore. No, you stood within the log in area of Eden.
Being able to access Eden from any electrical port connected to the internet is kind of amazing, you have to admit.
Anyway, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
