Chapter 65 (TP): Side Stories About The Future.
#69 of D.M.O.N.
First off, I do not own the Digimon series or any names that involved in this story. However, I do own Al and Amelia. I apologized first hand if there are spelling or grammar errors because my english is second.
I would like to inform the readers that for the next chapter will take longer to publish because of time table in writer's life so whenever there's a time, I will write it. Anything else, please enjoy.
Two weeks has passed and most of them are on standby at separate place. The Digimon are hiding among the building to escape from the hunter, especially those who didn't have human companion like Al, Amelia, Jake, Zane, Derek and Black. Sometimes they met the hunter but it is an easy win. They even heard that their races are extinct and finding them here with different color is extremely rare. At first, they didn't believe them until they met with one Digimon roaming at Quartz zone.
At one of the building Al and his friends are hiding from the hunters that still roaming, looking for them. So far, they manage to beat the Digimon without killing them and run. But for how long will it last until another hunter showed up and hunt them down, it all depends on their skill of hiding and hunter's eagerness.
"Urgh... This is killing me." Zane groaned in GigaSeadramon form. "We've got nothing to do except hiding and fighting off those hunters."
"Well it can't be helped. You heard that our avatars are extinct." Derek answered in his Gallantmon. "Further more we are considered wild Digimon in this zone."
"Be grateful that we can still evolve to our highest form with our own free will." Al responded in WarGreymon form.
"Humph... Consider it as a vacation he said. Not my kind of vacation plan if we are constantly being hunted." Zane groaned. "Come to think of it, why we are all here in this cramped room?"
"Oh... I don't know." Jake answered in BlackMirageGaogamon, "Maybe because someone told us to stick close together?" Everyone glared at Al who happens to be lying squashed by Zane.
"My bad..." Al responded with a sweat drop on his head. "We need to keep in touch since the comm. link isn't available because the main server is at our time and place. And the only way we communicate is by that old man."
****** Flashback********
It all started after Alphonse screaming for the unbelievable sight, where the seniors turned into their younger form and went passed out. They start introducing each other about whom and where or when they are from. Amelia is sitting beside Al with his head on her lap.
"All right then, I believe that all of you already know each other. Now here are the tasks while you are still here." The Clockmaker announced their next mission. The tamers focused on him. "I want all of you to divide into groups and go to different country for patrolling the Quartz Zone. I fear that something might showed up when you least expected. When you saw danger, it is better to not disturb the hunting game unless it is beyond dangerous."
All digidestinies nodded and start choosing their group, all except Zane, Jake, Black, Amelia and Derek. When they are decided their group, they went to different countries. As for the left over, they are patrolling the Japan.
It's been five days all of them patrolling secretively in the Quartz Zone. Whenever there is a hunting game, they avoided as far as beyond the radar's reach. One day, the usual clumsiness from Amelia triggered the radar which alerted the Hunter. When the hunter gave chased, one by one the signals started to appear on their Digivice. With the chasing going on, they finally saw what kind of Digimon that appear on their radar and started to hunt.
Because of how strong they are while in rookie form, many Hunters are eager to catch them. Eventually they made a group to capture them solely.
This goes on and on and the Hunter starts to predict their movements and powers until they are completely cornered and force to hide from their sight. That's how it happened and it keeps on going till the very moment.
******End Flashback********
"And to make matters worse, we almost got banged up by three hunters if we stayed in our rookie form." Derek responded.
"And we can't evolve back unless we are completely safe from harm and danger." Black added.
"Which apparently we aren't," Al sighed. "I'm starting to get envy with Amelia. She can hide her aura whether she is a Renamon or Sakuyamon.
"But she can't escape the Digivice." Jake responded when suddenly their Digivices gave a faint beeping sound. "Hunters nearby!"
Everyone went silent, anticipating for a battle in case if they were found out. It is quite fortunate for them because the Digivice system in the future is almost similar to the old one. It has radar to detect Digimon or any other tamer in the vicinity. The only drawback is that the old one which Al and his friend have are like a compass while the new futuristic one has a scope system to detect Digimon even from the real world, imagine like a multi-function peeping hole that has night vision, thermal, or x-ray. At least that was what the clockmaker explained.
They waited in silence hoping for the hunter to miss them that is what they hope for, when they heard a voice saying "I found them!" that's when they burst out and ran away from them.
Their speeds are no match compare to rookie or champion form Digimon from the hunters. But their numbers covers their lack of problem because they were surrounded. Three unknown Digimon form, possibility ultimate form, are waiting at their escape route while two more familiar Digimon are chasing after them.
Al's team got their back covered as they looked at the hunters. "Hmm... they're surrounding us, very clever." Black responded with a smirk hidden behind his helmet.
"But quite foolish to challenge us into a battle."Jake answered.
"Never the less, we have to finish this quick before they combined with the captured one." Al responded. "What's the name again?"
"It's called Digicross." Zane growled at him.
"Thanks for reminding me." Al answered. "Remember, we want them faint or unable to chase us at least."
The battle was short. Each of them delivers a consecutive strong blow that makes the enemy fainted and if one isn't enough, another blow or three will make sure that they won't stand up for a while. After that, they run away leaving the hunters behind.
After running quite a distance, they hide into the alley. Black and Jake came in last to make sure the area is clear. They looked around for a minute and quickly hide. "Okay, the coast is clear for now." Black reported.
Everyone gave a big exhale of relief. "Alright, anyone of you have a better idea? I'm open for a solution. Amelia, are you close by?" Al called.
"I'm here." Amelia replied as she suddenly emerged from the shadow as Taomon.
"We could just keep on running but I will grow tired eventually." Derek gave one.
"If we hide again, they will find us with that scope thingy again." Zane gave another one. "We're lucky we are out match them."
"And changing back into humans to fool other hunters is definitely out of option." Jake added last one.
"At least we tried." Al commented. "Until the old man called us we have to remain on standby and running. Or his partner Clockmon."
"Speaking of clock, where is he? He should be here with foods." Black responded as he slowly reverted back to BlackAgumon.
"I should, however finding you six are very hard." Clockmon suddenly appeared with several paper bags. Clockmon is a rookie type. His form is similar to an alarm clock with a pair of bell and a screw key in between instead of small hammer. "Dinner is served. Everyone take one."
"Dinner already, I didn't realize it its night already with all those constant running, fighting and hiding." Zane groaned as he and the others reverted back to rookie form.
"Didn't your Digivice tell you time?" Clockmon asked as he gave one bag to Black.
"Ours didn't." Derek showed his Digivice to him so as Zane and Jake.
"Mine can but I never look at it." Al responded as he received the paper bag. "So does her Digivice. But never mind that, what's the news from others?"
"The same things like you are." Clockmon answered while giving it to Zane. "Try to avoid, run and hide. But it will be over soon. Master can sense trouble is closing by. Master is trying his best to maintain the zone. He even asked Tai and Markus to deal the anomaly in the forest near school."
"Markus?" Jake asked while chewing his sandwich.
"The one with thick gang accent." Amelia replied while eating hers.
"Aah... the brute one. It's funny though that he is one of the heroes in other dimension." Zane responded.
"What's even funnier is that both you and Jake had the same look like their Digimon." Derek added while looking at Al and Jake.
"What... this armband?" Al asked while showing his white armband. "And Jake's Gaomon? Come to think of it, where did you get it?"
"A... Glitch virus gave me...?" Jake answered doubtful. Everyone went silent...
"Y-Yeah... Anyway, it's just a coincidence. Thanks for the food though." Al responded trying to break the silence. Clockmon bade farewell to them and disappear through a portal. "Well, that's takes care of our belly, why don't we find someplace to stay."
"As long as they don't ambush us while we are asleep." Zane answered while drinking some beverage can.
"Then why don't we check in at the hotel. It's on the house as far as I can see." Al responded.
They went to the abandoned hotel. At least everything is abandoned here in the Quartz Zone. Al ran towards the reception desk and jumped to the back. "Welcome to our humble hotel, lady and gentlemen. What can I do for you?" Black and Amelia gave a confused look while Zane and Derek gave a small smirk.
"What are you doing?" Amelia asked.
"Geez... you're no fun." Al replied. "I was just pretending to be a hotel clerk."
"And I suppose you call that fun?" Black asked.
"A bit if you've seen them before and wanted to know how it feels." Al answered. He looked at the key card rack to see they are still there untouched. "It seems the Digimon didn't pillage the key card yet." He went to the computer and turned it on, but no luck. "Damn, out of luck. We can't use the computer to magnetize the key card. But I wonder."
He took three cards and divides it to Jake, Zane and him. "Jake and Black are going to share the room. Zane and Derek as well, and that leaves us." Al looked at Amelia with a smile. Everyone gave a suspicious glare. He didn't understand what they meant until he realized the reason. "Come on, don't give me that look. I won't do anything. I promise."
The card turns out to be master card in this world so they went to every room to find at least that has two beds and as close to each other as possible. All of them say good night and trying to get some sleep for tomorrow's outcome.
Time passed by and they don't know whether it is early morning or late. Their Digivice starts beeping again, telling them that there's hunter nearby. They are ready to ambushes anyone who enters the room. The doorknobs start clattering; telling them someone is trying to get in. They knew that the hunters won't do anything stupid like breaking down the door unless they want to make a scene at the real world hotel (seriously, ghost hotel at morning?).
After several minutes of clattering, it went stopped. But the radar still beeping non-stop telling that the hunters are still at the front door. Not long afterwards a big quake came along shaking the hotel and the city. It probably last for three minutes or five and went down just like it came. Al looked at Amelia as Black looked at Jake and Zane looked at Derek, thinking that maybe one of them start something unimaginable. True to their thoughts, a commotion starts loose as shout came from behind the door and footsteps running away from it.
Amelia walked closely to the door and placed her ear to hear any hunters down the hall. After giving a clear sign, Al slowly opened the door and peered out. The hall looks empty and when he heard another clicking sound, he looked at the neighboring room. Black's head and Zane's head slowly emerged from behind the door, looking around like he does. When Black and Zane met Al, he asked them out of curious. "I suppose neither of you did that?" Both of them shook their heads. "Then that means something is happening right now. Move Out!" Al yelled as he barged open the door and ran towards the lobby.
They saw hunters staring at something that's too hard to notice. After they reach the door, they saw a green pillar with round egg shape on the top and a glowing eye in the middle. "What the hell is that?" Zane asked. Soon afterwards something came out from the pillar and there are lots of them.
"Whatever that is, is heading straight for us! Digivolve and brace yourselves." Al answered as he moved forward to stop any unknown form that came out from the pillar. Al drew a card and installed it to the slot to upgrade him. The rest are preparing to evolve.
One of the being attacked them but Al blocked it to stall time. He took a good look at the being that came out from the pillar and attack them. It is Myotismon. A dark viral Digimon that similar like a Dracula with dark blue suit, red mask long cape and palest skin than a ghost. A lance suddenly pierced out from his left head side to stab the vampire. "Is that Myotismon?" Derek asked in Gallantmon form.
"I would say yes but something's off. I can't put a finger about it yet." Al answered.
"You can put or point wherever you want after we clean them up. Help me evolved." Amelia replied ready for action.
"As you wish, dear." Al answered, taking out her Digivice and draw a Doppler card. He slapped in and his double appear with half of his power. He raised his Digivice and aimed at Amelia. Giving the enough requirements, she and his double merged into one as Sakuyamon. She looked at Al and backs at the new enemies that gliding towards them. Derek, Zane, Black and Jake are fending off them easily but their strength will wear out eventually. Amelia protects Al while he evolved into WarGreymon. After everyone is evolved to their highest favorite form, the nonstop battles start.
The battle between the team and numerous Myotismon were not of interest. The team was too strong that one strike, one or two Myotismon are deleted. The battle is been decided until several of them merged into one big vampire Digimon called VenomMyotismon, a demonic vampire with brown fur beast from upper abdomen to the legs and the upper part were like beetle like-shell. It still has the red mask as its personal trait but with additional horn and large bat wing.
Black and Amelia can sense greater power from it but their power are far more superior to them. With just one strong attack, one got deleted. They got frustrated but with their numbers they merge to create more and new form, one form that fears the seniors before, MaloMyotismon. With its full body armor, it possesses an inhumanly cruel personality and is willing to do anything to achieve its own personal desires. The living artillery on both its left and right shoulders, named "Sodom and Gomorrah" respectively, it is a formidable and dangerous foe they face.
Once again they were outmatched by number and force. The enemies are surrounding them and there is no way out. Amelia cast a barrier to protect them when the enemy attacked. Al called to protect Amelia by circling her, because he can sense his weaken Doppler. The enemies start bashing the barrier which she can endure but when they used stronger attacks, her endurance grew thin. Al and Black discuss and decide that they will use Terra Force when the barrier broke. The barrier started to crack. Everyone is ready for an all out assault. Little by little the shard from the barrier started to fell. The barrier won't hold out much longer and so does Amelia. It is her limit, it is now or never. Kill or be killed. And finally the barrier broke.
Before the barrier broke, there is an explosion but the sound of broken barrier muffled it until they heard another explosion and it is close. They heard and quickly glanced at the sky for the attack source. Zane saw a golden flash from a far and called for cover. Everyone crouch circled at Amelia and brace for impact. Beams and projectiles started rampaging around them, eliminating most of the enemies. The remaining of the enemies was killed with melee attack. After there was no sound, the team looked up to see MagnaAngemon, Stingmon and Ankylamon standing at their side. Above them were Magnamon, MetalGrowlmon, Rosemon, WarGreymon, and MetalGarurumon. "You guys okay?" MagnaAngemon asked them.
"We're fine, thanks."Al answered. "Thanks for wiping out the rest of them. We couldn't survive from their numbers. Why they are so many and can merge like that?"
"The Clockmaker said it is one of Quartzmon's ability to copy any Digimon and multiply them as it's please." Rosemon answered.
"Multiplying... I don't understand... is that possible?" Al asked.
"It's possible depends on what kind of Digimon we are facing." A teen girl answered his question.
"You're that girl with Mark-something." Al responded.
"It's Markus and my name is Yoshino Fujieda. This is my partner Rosemon." The teen girl answered.
"Pleasure, and sorry for a skip introduction last time." Al replied.
"I heard from your friend that you are hard to socialize to a total stranger. Keep in mind that we are all tamers and tamers should act together as one. Understand, Alphonse?"
"Crystal. I'll try to remember that, Yoshino. And they are actually my senior."
"Anyway we are going ahead to Quartzmon, are all of you coming?" Yoshino asked.
"Soon, we all need a break, that last battle worn us out." Jake replied. Everyone except Rosemon and Yoshino nodded and dash towards the green sphere tower. They waited for any sudden move or appearance before slumping down in exhaustion. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling tired and my back hurts right now."
"They may shoot them all, but the impacts were great." Zane replied.
"How fast can you recover, guys?" Al asked them all.
"Easily recovered with cards." Jake answered.
"Right." Al searched the card for wide effect recovery and slapped it down to spawn a field of recovery. The injuries are slowly healed but their fatigues remain. "Amelia, can you fight?"
"Physically yes but magically, it takes more than just Sanctuary." Amelia answered.
"Those who too tired raised your hand, claw, or fin." Al asked again. All of them raised their arms. "All right then, take five."
Elsewhere around Tokyo Tower, the Hunters were cornered by VenomMyotismon and MaloMyotismon. Inside the crater, two Digimon fell in exhaustion. One is a blue dinosaur with blue armor and jet pack almost similar to MetalGreymon. The other is a small red Digimon with white earphone and a yellow scarf. One human boy came towards the fallen Digimon. "Not yet! We're not done yet, Shoutmon!" said the boy.
The red Digimon respectively Shoutmon slowly stood up, enduring the pain and fatigue from what appears to be a blast. "Yeah! For our cute juniors following after us, I'll put up a fight over and over!"
"You make me fall for you with that spirit of yours!" A loud response came from above them. They look up and saw a purple reddish comet soaring across the blood red sky. A human male jumped off from that comet and dive towards one of VenomMyotismon. With the power of gravity and the human unknown strength, he punched it right on the face and made them fall like a domino.
"Who is that guy?! He just went and punched those Digimon!" One of the hunter responded in disbelief.
"Guess we made it in time," said the one who punched down the Digimon with arm on his hip. The human is a male teen with red and white vest, sleeveless shirt, and baggy brown cameo pants. His hair is red brown long to his neck with additional pony tail. Beside him is an Agumon with armband similar to Al except its red. "I'm an invincible street fighter, Markus Damon!"
The boy looked surprise to see Markus for he has save him before. "You're the one who save us earlier..."
"*Grumble* So that Agumon can fly, huh?" Another soar voice appeared from the side of the crater where the hunter who did not believe stood.
"Knock it off, Agumon." Another voice and this time is a child responded right at where the first voice appeared. Behind the hunter stood a human child wearing a blue shirt and goggle and beside him is a small Agumon minus armband. "I'm Taichi Yagami, and this is my partner, Agumon." And from that, one by one, children appeared with/without their partner at their side to join the fight.
