Chapter 3: Veamon's resolve

The mountain wastelands of the Digital World awaited the four travelers. Guilmon then paused and looked up at the huge orb in the sky sending out purple digital streams from around it. Gammamon, Gumdramon and Veamon stood by his side to look at it.

"Guil-sensei? What is that?" Gammamon asked.

"Back in Misty Village, we never saw anything like this." Gumdramon said.

"That is the Digital Globe." Guilmon answered. "When you jump into its streams, it takes you to any part of the Digital World."

"So why did we come here?" Veamon questioned.

"One of the streams should take us straight to where the other Tamer Digimon are heading. Have to pick the right one." Guilmon replied. He then closed his eyes and glowed red using his Tamer Search Aura. Then he reopened them and pointed to the stream near them. "That one."

"The one heading towards us? But what if we get lost?" Gumdramon panicked.

"It should be fine as we stick together. Now!" Guilmon called. He rushed forward and leaped into the stream. Gammamon, Veamon and Gumdramon gulped before leaping after him.

When they emerged from it later, the foursome found themselves on the outskirts of a modern metropolis. Several buildings towered into the sky. The city glowed with neon lights.

"Wow! Look at this place! Where are we?" Veamon asked. Gammamon went star-awed at the place.

"Digi China City." Guilmon said "I can feel one of the other Digimon might be in there somewhere. Also, they make great food that they borrowed from the real world."

"Oh yeah! Real world food is the best!" Gammamon cheered. "Gammamon wants ice cream!"

"Gammamon, you're a sucker for ice cream." Gumdramon laughed. "But yeah. Come on. Let's go and explore!"

Gammamon and Gumdramon ran ahead towards the city. Veamon ran after them in a concerned tone. "Guys! Wait up! We're supposed to stick together!"

Guilmon paused for a second. His face takes a confused scowl. 'Still… I did sense one of my friends here… but I sensed two more presence here. Both unknown and familiar. I wonder what's up.' He thought. He then followed the young trio into the city.

The four entered the city together. Gammamon, Veamon and Gumdramon looked in awe at the tall buildings. Guilmon was more cautious. He quickly noticed something was wrong. All the shops and restaurants were staffed by many sad-looking male Digimon.

"So cool! This place is awesome!" Gumdramon gleed.

"This isn't the time to be sidetracked by the city's horizons." Veamon scolded. "We were supposed to find one of the Tamer Digimon here, remember?"

"Yeah I know. You know, Veamon, you can be a pain in the neck if you need to be." Gumdramon retorted at the purple digimon. "Always scolding and making yourself more grown up when you're the same age as us!"

"But both you and Gammamon get well distracted by many things. And someone has to keep an eye out!" Veamon snapped.

"You got some nerve!"

"Guys, stop. Guil-sensei seemed puzzled." Gammamon cut in. The other two looked to see Guilmon walked up to a Patamon chef. He was sitting on a chair in a despair state.

"Hey. Question for you. Where are all the female Digimon here? I noticed every male is in despair." Guilmon questioned.

"Oh you better believe it. The Regime set up base here and it made our lives miserable. And worse of all: that sadistic Etemon took all our women for himself. Wives, lovers, crushes, little girls. The lot." Patamon said sadly. "Even my beloved Gatomon was catnapped by him. He made them all his slaves so he can torture them."

"The Regime?!" Gammamon gasped. They all gathered by Guilmon's side to hear the rest.

"Every night, we hear our beloved scream in pain and agony as Etemon tortures them. We couldn't fight back because he threatened to kill them if any of us dared to challenge him." Patamon said.

"That's… immoral!" Veamon shouted. She was feeling anger she never felt before. "And you said Etemon's with the Regime? He will pay dearly for this!"

"Veamon. Calm down." Gammamon put his hands on her shoulders to try and calm down.

"Don't worry, Mr Patamon. We're here to stop the Regime ourselves. Guilmon Matsuki is one of the legendary Tamer Digimon and…" Gumdramon spoke in a showman-like voice.

"Wait! You're one of the Tamer Digimon?!" Patamon shot up as he looked at Guilmon. "Please! You must save our beloveds from Etemon! You're the Digimon Hero after all!"

"That title is really embarrassing me now." Guilmon sighed.

The other male Digimon rose and surrounded them. They begged Guilmon to save their loved ones. The red dino saw all their eyes shine with hope.

"Alright. If you point us in the direction of the base, we'll save everyone there. You have my word." Guilmon sighed.

"You bet we are!" Veamon snarled. "And I'd see that Etemon will never see the light of day again!"

"The base is near the outskirts of the city." A Veemon shopkeeper told them. "Keep walking and you'll see it before you."

"Gotcha. Thanks." Gumdramon said. He then saw Veamon storming ahead. "Hey, Veamon. Hold on. Why are you so mad about Etemon harming those girls?"

"I'm a girl too, in case you forgot! This is an injustice! Males are supposed to be kind to females! I wanna punch that Etemon's face in so badly!" Veamon scowled. Gammamon and Gumdramon sweatdropped in fear of the look she has given them.

"Veamon!" Guilmon called out. "Don't lose your cool. Just calm down. Rushing into battle is a suicide attempt!"

"Guil-sensei is right. Please… don't stress too much, Veamon!" Gammamon pleaded.

"I'll chill down once Etemon is taken down! Now let's go!" Veamon demanded before she stormed out. Gammamon called out her name as he followed.

"Is she gonna be alright?" A blue Shoutmon shopkeeper asked.

"Yeah. She has a thing about right and wrong. And she detests females being mistreated so badly." Gumdramon replied. "I know because back in our village when Bearmon had hit Palmon, she beat the hell out of him."

"Well, her heart is in the right place but she mustn't let her emotions cloud her better judgment," Guilmon said. He then saw something which caught his interest. He goes to the Agumon shopkeeper. "Excuse me. How much is one of those? I have a feeling it may come useful in this battle."

An enormous black base was seen on the outskirts of the city. From the topmost floor stood a humanoid Digimon in an orange monkey suit. He had a white tip on his tail. A pair of black sunglasses covered his eyes. A stuffed bear digimon toy was attached to the right side of his hip. Several stitches are seen on his upper left arm and tail. On his lower right arm was a zipper.

He sat on the back of a female cat digimon. He was completely indifferent to her suffering. He held a whip in his right hand just in case the catgirl, Beastmon, tried anything.

"Yeah. Stay in that position, whore! Unless of course, you wanna be whipped into submission!" Etemon said cruelly.

"Sir!" A white armoured Digimon approached him from behind.

"What do you want? Can't you see I am enjoying myself here?!" Etemon snapped.

"I think you should see this, sir," the armoured Digimon said. A screen before them flickered on and they saw Veamon, Gammamon, Gumdramon and Guilmon approaching the front door of the base. "The Digimon Hero has arrived!"

"So the warrior Emperor Duskmon fears is here? And he brought some friends! Nice, a new girl for the harem." Etemon grinned as he focused on Veamon, mostly her chest and backside areas. "I guess I can entertain myself by engaging her in battle. I can torture her in front of him. Keep an eye on the slaves here." He stood up from Beastmon's back and walked away.

He was unaware that someone was watching them from an unlocked door.

An black egyptian cat like Digimon spied on them through the open gap. Purple turfs on the end of both ears waved. Her black and purple striped tail ended with a purple tuft. It waved slowly back and worth. Her golden eyes were gazing at Guilmon on the screen. She had a mature body with huge breasts and an hourglass frame.

Her red cloth-like bra mostly covered her breasts and was held up by giant golden rings and a thin gold chain-like necklace. Chain jewelry flowed down from it. A red velvet loincloth which flowed down to her ankles. It was also held up by tiny golden chains. Her paws were covered by purple gloves with black claws extending from the fingers.

"Re-ow. Check out that stud of a red dinosaur there" She grinned as she eyed Guilmon more. "Quite the pecs there."

"BlackGatomon, you shouldn't spy. If Etemon comes back, we will be in trouble." A worried female voice said.

"Oh don't be a sourpuss, Lionessmon. Look at the screen and see what you think of this guy?" BlackGatomon urged.

The second person appeared. It looked almost similar to a Leomon but as a different gender. Instead of a mane, she has blonde hair and eyelashes.

Like BlackGatomon she wore a red-brown slave outfit. Her top was made of reddish-brown strips that criss crossed over her large chest. She wore a matching pair of tight sleeves on her arms. A transparent loincloth of the same colour wrapped around her waist. A pair of small black panties were seen underneath.

"Just who is he? Is he actually coming here to free us? I hope he knows who he's up against." Lionessmon blushed as she saw Guilmon's image.

"Oh I bet he is. And the minions did call him the Digimon Hero after all." BlackGatomon commented. The air shimmered and the two felt they were not alone. The black cat smiled as she looked behind. "Oh hey. I wondered when you'd show up. What are your thoughts on this hot guy?"

The third person in the shadows walked behind the duo and looked at the screen. Guilmon's image was still showing. A smile spread upon her small mouth before she turned and walked off.

"Hey! Where are you going?" BlackGatomon asked.

"Leave her. I did see her smile when she saw him. Does she know him?" Lionessmon asked.

"Hey. Maybe we should sneak down to the arena and help them when needed. I am done with Etemon's torture of us girls. Let's go!" BlackGatomon grinned. She then dashed off towards the corridor.

"Kitty, wait!" Lionessmon cried out as she ran after her.

Veamon rushed ahead inside the corridor of the base. She abandoned the trio due to her own anger at what Etemon had done. She believed this is her own fight. Coming upon the double sided door, she pushed it open.

She walked into what appeared to be a small stage arena. The floors were made of stone and the walls were mostly metal bars. There was a single light above on the ceiling.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" a voice reached her ear. Veamon turned around to see Etemon walked towards her from the opposite end of the room. "Seem we have a cutie of a girl Veemon coming in all by her lonesome. Where's the Digimon Hero and his other companions?"

"I don't want them to interfere so I left them to deal with the white soldier Digimon! How dare you treat girls like this!" Veamon spat out.

"Ha. What a shame. I was hoping to give them a show… by making you suffer by my hand." Etemon cackled.

"Not while I can make YOU suffer first!" Veamon cracked her fist. "This is the perfect chance to show Guilmon what I can do by myself!"

"Ha! You got guts, little one. However, I am afraid you are out of your league!" Etemon said with an evil grin.

Veamon charged at the sadistic Digimon and then leapt forward. "Vea Headbutt!"

Etemon stepped out of her way. He raised his fist and smacked Veamon's face. The blow sent her flying backwards into a wall.

"Hearing a woman cry in pain like that is music to my ears." Etemon mocked.

Veamon snarled and leapt to her feet. She jumped and threw many punches at her enemy. Etemon just swayed from each of her punches. He then raised his leg and kneed her in the stomach. Veamon gasped in pain. Saliva came out of her mouth. The evil monkey Digimon grabbed her by her top.

"Hey. Don't fall down on me yet. Come on. Suffer for me more!" Etemon mocked. He then raised his fist and punched Veamon in the face. He kept hitting her several more times. He then let out a massive punch that sent the purple dragon flying into a wall, ripping her top off in the process. "Ha. You don't need this old village bra-like thing anymore anyway." He laughed as he tossed it away.

Veamon struggled to get up on her feet. Her face was bruised all over. Her eyes were nearly blackened shut. One of her arms covered her exposed chest. "You… sicko pervert…" she panted.

Etemon then unleashed his whip. It wrapped around her neck. He then pulled on the weapon. She was sent flying over to him. He slammed her to the ground and planted his right foot on her head.

"I think it's time you deserve some punishment!" Etemon said cruelly. He then reached down and tore off Veamon's shorts. He grasped his whip. "Such a cute butt. Shame I have to make it red."

He then held his weapon up in the air and whipped her exposed rear. Veamon cried out in pain from the strikes. Etemon kept whipping her again, making her scream.

"Yes! Scream and cry for me, baby!" Etemon laughed. He whipped her again more times. Veamon screamed grew louder from pain and humiliation.

'I cannot… I cannot let him… someone… help me!' Veamon pleaded in her mind. Tears poured down from her eyes.

"Sol Shot!"

Etemon stopped enjoying himself and turned around too late. A fireball hit him in the chest. He was knocked off Veamon and went sailing into another wall of the arena.

Veamon collapsed in exhaustion. She was relieved her experience was over but felt humiliated.

"Veamon! Hold on!" BetelGammamon's voice cried out. He then splashed something onto Veamon. As the liquid poured on her, her injuries were healed. She blinked and her eyes opened, her face healed. She slowly looked up at BetelGammamon beaming down at her.

"BetelGammamon?" Veamon gasped.

"BetelGammaon relieved. Worried we couldn't save Veamon in time" BetelGammamon cheered. In his hand was an empty bottle flask. "BetelGammamon used potion to heal Veamon."

Gumdramon walked by his friend's side. "Man, Veamon. You almost cried like a little girl there. And where's your clothes?"

"Shut up Gumdramon." Veamon snapped. She rose to her feet and covered her chest and lower region with her arms. "That freak will pay for what he has done to me…"

"Veamon!" The purple dragon saw Guilmon walk up to her. He was not very pleased with her. Veamon didn't know who to be scared of more. Etemon torturing her or a very angry mentor. "It was foolish of you to try to defeat him all on your own. You shouldn't let anger cloud your judgment. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone. Just remember. You have something Etemon doesn't. Friends who cherish and want to help you. Even Renamon knew you cannot win every fight alone."

Veamon's eyes widened by his words. She gazed at BetelGammamon and Gumdramon who smiled at her sweetly. She shed some tears before she bowed to them. "You're right, Guilmon. I am so sorry, everyone. I was so angry about what Etemon did that I lost my better judgment. I promise to do better in the future. Please forgive me."

"Hey. No need to say sorry. We're friends. You know you can trust in us" Gumdramon smirked.

"Yeah. Say the word and we will be there to help you. Childhood friends till the end." BetelGammamon beamed.

The purple dragon shed some tears due to her friends' words. She smiled at this. "Thank you. I would hug you but I am without clothes right now."

"Don't worry" Guilmon put a hand on her shoulder. "We'll get you some new ones later. Besides, you may need them when you get older."

"And since you learnt your lesson, I believe you earned this." Guilmon then gave her a small Digi-Egg with flames on the side and a blade-like spike on it.

"What is this?" Veamon asked as she held onto the egg.

"It's a Digi-Armour Egg. With this, you can grow stronger. We'll cover for you. Use it to unlock your special power!" Guilmon answered.

"And then you can really show that mean Etemon what a girl-mon can do!" BetelGammamon said.

Veamon smiled at this before she closed her eyes and put the egg to her chest.

Etemon coughed as he emerged from the cloud. He saw the trio of males in front of him.

"You three! How dare you interrupt my fun time!" He shouted angrily.

"How dare you treat our friend so shamelessly!" Gumdramon scowled.

"BetelGammamon angry. You are not a nice Digimon!" BetelGammamon snapped.

"Of course I am not a nice Digimon. No matter. I just have to dispose of you all and then I will take my time with her!" Etemon sneered.

"You better tell HER that!" Guilmon smirked.

"Digi-Armour Engaged!" Etemon heard Veamon shout before a powerful maelstrom appeared from behind the trio.

"What?! What is happening?!" Etemon cried out.

"Veamon armor digivolve to…" Veamon's voice called.

A flame then shot over the trio and landed between them and Etemon. When it died down, it was revealed to be a taller, adult version of Veamon. She was the same size as BetelGammamon. Her body was more developed with a sizable bust and rear. She wore armor on her face, chest, thighs, hands, and feet. A blade-like spike protruded from her mask. Steel claws extended from her mitted hands. The armor was painted with a red and orange flame design. A small codpiece covered her loins. Several belts were wrapped around her upper arms.

"Flamedrawomon!" she bellowed.

"Whoa-oh! I thought you were cute before, but now you're hot! Yer gonna be the prize of my collection, you smokin' hot mon!" Etemon smirked. He then lashed his whip at her. Flamedrawomon merely caught the lash in her hand. This shocked Etemon out of his cocky mood. "W-What?!"

"You like it hot, Banana-Breath? Let me turn up the heat!" Flamedrawomon said with an avenging smirk. The whip ignited in Flamdrawomon's grip and burned all the way along towards Etemon's. The monkey-mon yelped as his fingers sizzled forcing him to let go of his weapon.

"That was my favourite whip! How dare you…" Etemon began to say. His words were cut short however as the armored Digimon grabbed his entire face with her hand. She then slammed him headfirst into the ground.

"Fire Shot!" Flamedrawomon called. She sent out a fireball from her hands. Etemon screamed in pain as he was blasted in the back of his head. "Now it seems that your screams are music to my ears. Isn't that what you told me?"

"You whore! Dark Network!" Etemon shouted. He rose up and fired a massive darkness ball at her. Flamedrawomon just whacked it away with her long tail.

"Fire Rocket!" Flamedrawomon called. She surrounded herself in flames and shot herself towards her enemy. She headbutted into Etemon's chest and slammed him into the wall.

"Alright! She got this one now!" Gumdramon said.

Etemon groaned in pain as he fell to the floor. Flamedrawomon pressed her foot on his head.

"So… how'd it feel to have a woman to actually defeat you? Well imagine how you made every woman you captured feel when you forced them to serve you." Flamedrawomon scolded.

"You took the words right out of my mouth, cutie." A new voice spoke up. Everyone turned to see a black cat Digimon and a lioness Digimon entered the arena and walked up to Flamewomdramon's side. The black cat Digimon spoke in pride. "It's about time someone took this sadistic asshole down. We had to serve him for many years. Now he'll get what he deserves."

"Just a minute. Who are you?" BetelGammamon asked the two newcomers.

"Oh. Forgive us for barging in. I am Lionessmon and this is my friend and sister, BlackGatomon." the lioness Digimon turned to the males. She then bowed to Guilmon. "I was told that you were the Digimon Hero. We are grateful you came to us in our time of need."

Guilmon's eyes narrowed as he sensed Lionessmon and BlackGatomon's aura. 'Something's off here. They're Digimon I never met before. But I sense something... familiar… It feels like… no… can it be? But how?' he thought.

"BlackGatomon… Lionessmon… you two traitors!" Etemon scowled.

"Wanna make this a three way dance?" BlackGatomon asked Flamedrawomon.

The armoured Digimon looked stunned at first. Then she smiled. "Of course. You two go first." She said.

"Thank you. Lightning Paw!" BlackGatomon cried. She surrounded her claw with purple electricity and uppercutted Etemon upwards into the sky.

Lionessmon leapt up after him and held her hands out. "Fist of the Beast Queen!" She fired an aura attack based off a lioness head towards Etemon. He was struck by it and was sent flying towards Flamedrawomon.

"Fire Tail!" Flamedrawomon called. She lit her tail on fire. She swung around and whacked him in the face. Etemon was sent crashing into the floor in great pain.

Guilmon was watching the trio beat their enemy down when his Tamer Aura Search picked up an aura hiding in the shadows. Recognising who it belonged to he smirked.

The three female Digimon scowled. Etemon slowly rose to his feet. He was enraged.

"How dare you! How dare you harm me! When Darknessmon hears of this, you will pay dearly!" Etemon shouted.

"You forgot one thing, Etemon!" Guilmon called out. Everyone turned to him in confusion. The dino Digimon crossed his arms and smirked. "There's someone else I think has been waiting for a chance to teach you some manners."

Etemon was about to retort on what he meant. Suddenly a paw went straight through his chest. Etemon gagged in agony.

Etemon slowly turned his head and saw a shadowed figure behind him. The figure removed their paw from his chest. Etemon gagged clutching his wound. "You! You only joined me a year ago. I had no trouble with you! This is the reward I get for treating you well? You slutty little…"

The shadow figure then leaped up and swung her tail so hard it cut off Etemon's head off his body. It rolled and lands by Flamedrawomon's feet.

"You whores! You will pay for all of you!" Etemon's head snapped despite being detached from his body.

Flamedrawomon taised her foot before smooshing the obnoxious simian's skull. It scattered into Digital particles. "I've heard enough of your sick mouth!" she retorted.

"Alright. We did it!" BlackGatomon cheered. "We can tell all the females here we are free!"

"Finally. Our nightmare is over." Lionessmon exhaled.

BetelGammamon and Gumdramon rushed up to congratulate Flamedrawomon. Guilmon stepped forward towards the person lurking in the shadows. All eyes were turned on them.

Guilmon smirked and calmly spoke out. "Sorry to keep you waiting… Renamon Nonaka."

BetelGammamon, Flamedrawomon and Gumdramon went wide-eyed at this. The figure then slowly walked out from the shadow.

She appeared to be a bipedal fox-like Digimon. She is mostly covered in yellow fur on her hourglass figure, save for the white tips of her tail and ears, underbelly, her large g-cup breasts, hands and legs from the knees down. Her eyes were blue with black sclera surrounding them. Purple wavy symbol are underneath them. Yellow wing-like tufts stood up from each of her shoulders. A large, white chest floof is seen around her neck and above her chest but not enough to cover her mounds. Purple futatsudomoe symbols were seen on her thighs. Black claws are seen on her three fingers and toes.

She was also clad in a slave outfit. A golden bra was covering her breasts. Her usual purple sleeves still covered her forearms. Yin-yang symbols were shown on the back of the hands. Her taut abdomen was exposed. A transparent purple loincloth flowed down to her ankles. It was held up by some gold buckles and two thin gold chains. A thin black thong covering her lower region can be seen.

BlackGatomon and Lionessmon were caught by surprise at this. Flamedrawomon covered her mouth with her hands. BetelGammamon and Gumdramon were shocked at what they were seeing. Guilmon smirked calmly as his long-time friend smiled and faced him.

"It's about time. Seven years of waiting for you to return and you really turned into a warrior Digimon, Guilmon Matsuki." Renamon responded with a smirk.
