Chapter 42

Henry slashed the human form card, transforming Tesla into a strong humanoid digimon. His size remained, but now he wasn't some large cute looking bunny but a lean muscled bunny.

With that his speed and mobility increased.

They were facing three foes as they had put Tesla as a lower level threat.

Henry had to be very serious in the field especially since they had ways to cancel his entire tech, forcing him into short range.

He had to constantly fight against their hacking and shut down protocol to help his partner and the other team mates.

It was his task to ensure that their equipment wasn't hacked or unusable or they would be killed without much resistance.

His super perception was on full time since the start of the battle and he needed to finish the battle quickly before it caused him to go unconscious.

Henry quickly programmed his bomb for electric attacks and increased the output. Tesla gave him cover fire so that the enemy didn't see what he did.

Tesla dashed around the battlefield with his boosters and shot with his machine guns.

Henry took the opportunity and threw the bomb while Tesla caught him and rushed to the back while shooting the bomb.

With a bang it exploded and lightning current thrashed in the small region.

The output had been greatly increased that it caused some problems in their equipment but they managed to survive without big injuries.

Their communicators were busted so they could only rely on what they had on hand.

Tesla dropped Henry before going back to fight.

Henry added more energy to Tesla's armor and upgraded the boost level.

Tesla's speed increased and he smashed his fist in to one of the enemies while shaking his head, causing his weaponized ears to swing at high speeds and hit the other two.

Bang

The fist was followed by bullets being unleashed in a concentrated form and the enemy was sent flying while the other two managed to block the blade with their knives.

They turned to shoot him down but Henry shifted the boost down so that it sent Tesla in the air while dropping small bombs that exploded.

The power wasn't enough and the Tesla got hit by the sniper in the arm, destroying his gun. Tesla quickly flew down towards the enemy that was downed.

Henry slashed another card to help Tesla finish the enemy quickly before the others intervened.

Great Tornado

Tesla started spinning like Wargreymon, like a vortex of doom, and was covered in cutting wind as he crashed into his target.

It was not a pretty sight as the Commandramon was cut apart. Luckily, Tesla had learned to cope with this horror and turned to the other two while covered in gore and blood.

He struck a dangerous image.

-------------------------------

Getting back to Naruto, he was facing the boss of the wild digimon. One glance told him that it was the little mouse on the back.

Naruto wasn't worried about the guy much but was worried that Sealsdramon might end up attacking or some other champion digimon.

On the other hand, Tyu was enraged. His plans had broken down and everything was falling apart. The D-Brigade was occupied and reinforcements would take some time.

His paws were dead while his Champions were occupied by a Champion that had been hidden for so long.

He had expected some trump card, but that was a little bit heavier to swallow. Just looking at it, he could tell that the Woodmon were in danger especially with fire digimon supporting him.

That didn't matter too much. He could always build it up.

The only thing he needed to decide was if the battle worth it or should he run?

The Tamer was dangerous, that was the information he got from Searchmon using his identification ability.

He was one of the New Types in a way, meaning he could fight Champion digimon.

Looking at the age, he wouldn't think that was right but here he was and the person had showed power to harm the Woodmon.

Retreat was an option, but the Tamer didn't look like he was letting him go.

"Dame, finish him." Tyu ordered as he focused on killing Naruto and getting the data from his body.

Dame could digivolve with this gift, or he could end up on new rank by eating a New Type.

There was fear, rage, and greed in his eyes.

"Asura, I will support you." Naruto said as he placed his hand on Asura and covered him with his chakra. Asura could also do chakra enhancement but there was a huge gap between them.

With this enhancement, Asura stats were pushed to the champion level instantly.

Naruto slashed a card on his device to support him further as this enhancement would break him down very quickly. Rookie digimon couldn't just use that much power without a cost.

Diamond Body

Asura's body became more solid and durable, and he didn't feel any pressure from the power up anymore.

Asura was big as Naruto while Damemon was double his size.

Tyu didn't take any chances.

"Dame, transform."

Just like that Damemon transformed into his Ultimate form, Tuwarmon.

It was not a real evolution. It was the ninja art transformation as the Ultimate form was combat oriented more than Damemon.

Tuwarmon was a Mutant Digimon. It was a ninja Digimon that released the heavy Huffy Armor which was restraining its abilities and transformed to its true form from its temporary disguise, Damemon. Disguising itself with the look of a fool to deceive the enemy's eyes, while surreptitiously drawing near its target and assassinating them, was Tuwarmon's special trait. The Armor drastically improved Tuwarmon's maneuverability by being split apart into boosters, so its movements had wind-like swiftness, too quick to catch with the eyes, and could not be compared to their state before its abilities were released. Its two sickle-type "Mantis Arm" weapons were variously sickle-nunchaku tied with an electromagnetic chain, a long-handled polearm fused from the two, or a boomerang for throwing, and it switches between the variations freely as the situation demands.

Tyu had learned about the next form and taught Damemon how to fight properly using the Tuwarmon form.

It was the trump card in his hand.

There was no power up but the speed increased while defense lowered.

Naruto couldn't help but smile. It was like fighting someone from back home, a ninja.

"No good, no good!" Dame shouted as he locked on to Asura with hatred for trying to hurt them. The boosters came to life and it moved like the wind.

The speed instantly hit Mach 30, causing the air to burn.

With this speed, both combatants hits new speed range that was beyond others except Sealsdramon and Goku.

Asura would have been one shot with just the first punch without the boost since his normal speed was just barely Mach 1.

With the boost from Naruto, he could follow the speed and ducked as Dame slashed at him with the sickles on his arms.

Followed that with a kick but Dame blocked it with his other hand and released a net from that hand that caught Asura.

It was an electric net.

Flame whip

Asura's real body powered up and turned in to a whip that cut through the net before any serious damage could be done.

Dame dashed around him and covered him in a cloth that appeared from its storage. The reaction was to fast and Asura got caught in the cloth. It was very durable stuff and before he could break out, Dame took distance before appearing in front of him in a flash.

Power Punch

With the body incased in flames from moving too fast, Dame hit Asura and sent him crashing through the powerful trees.

The battle on this side was extremely destructive unlike the others and fortunately it was away from them or they would have been killed.

There was a fist shaped dent on Asura's body and even his whole wax body had cracks on it. Luckily, he was just a flame.

He quickly burned down the cloth while his body crashed through the obstacles and stopped after some ten trees or so.

Asura quickly rolled to the side as Dame stomped n the ground, causing a massive crater.

Asura quickly caught the shield while rolling and threw it at Dame.

Dame didn't block but dodged while Asura had thrown kunai following that throw.

This was one of the most difficult fights Asura had entered. His opponent was very experienced especially at this power level while he was not.

The gap in their experience was making the fight even harder.

Poison attacks wouldn't work on Dame and Tyu was protected in that chamber on the foe's back. That cut down one of his path, but it was the same for Dame who couldn't use his smell to distract him.

Seeing that Asura was in trouble, Naruto could definitely help him but he wanted his partner to win on his own.

If they double teamed the target, it would be an easy battle.

Flame armor

Naruto provided another card for Asura to make up for the gap.

The used of enhancement and cards was consuming his chakra but unlike the others he could take the cost.

Asura didn't even think about Naruto helping him, he was trained to win and unless told to fight with a team then it was solo all the way.

Dame glared at Asura before dislodging the sickles from his body and combining them in to a spear. Holding the lightning spear, Dame took aim of Asura and started shooting with the gun on his arms.

The booster on Asura's back roared as he dashed towards Dame, the distance was short and he managed to avoid the bullets.

Dame put the spear in between them as Asura struck with his palm.

Fire was unleashed from the head while lighting hit from the spear.

Both digimon were pushed back.

Dame went for him using the spear.

Asura used his arm to redirect the spear away from him while he went for Dame's face.

Dame's boosters faced Asura and he moved way quickly.

Just then, Asura's tail caught Dame's leg and caused him to slip.

He corrected himself while swinging his spear at him while electricity trailed behind it.

Fire Bomb

Asura released a large orb of fire and exploded on contact with the spear, damaging Dame.

With that silver of opportunity, Asura moved fast and struck with his fist again.

Dame decided to block it with his hand.

It was blocked like expected, but the wax surged from the holes and struck Dame in the face.

It was shaped like drills and it tore holes in Dame's face.

The enemy screamed in pain even though it had a high pain tolerance.

Asura followed it with a punch to the gut, where the wax stabbed into Dame while the real body used a flame whip to catch his head.

Dame screamed and Tyu was alarmed at the state of the battle.

With his command, Dame started the boosters and pulled back while unleashing a burst of electricity that threw off Asura.

Dame clenched the spear and threw it with full force.

Odin's Rage

The spear of lightning tore through the air and stabbed into Asura's left half as he was unable to fully dodge it.

It carried him back and struck him to a tree while pushing lightning into his body.

Asura finally got real damage as the lightning caused his real body to weaken.

Dame covered up the injured parts and locked to his foe as he rushed forth.

Like lightning bolt, he crashed into Asura's chest with his feet.

Flying Kick

The force behind the kick literally destroyed Asura's body and Dame carried the half with him forward until he could stop.

Dame thought it was over. He had finally won against the powerful enemy and he was ready to feed, to get his energy back.

But, Asura wasn't done.

The attack freed him from the lightning as the enemy had not realized that he was a Candlemon. He felt no pain from getting physically attacked like that since the body was just a puppet.

With Dame having relaxed a little, Asura struck fast and strong as his wax body stabbed into Dame along with the metal armor.

Naruto had taught him how to control metal along with fire in these days so this time the attack was even stronger than before.

Dame's whole body was stabbed by Asura's wax and metal body that started rotating at full speed while Asura released extreme flames.

Dragon Fire

Dame tried to throw him off but it was like a parasite. It was like Venom from Spiderman, not letting go of his host.

It was extremely gory and disturbing to look at.

Tyu had ejected the moment Asura caught Dame but Naruto had caught the rat before it could run away. With a swipe of his hand, the mastermind had been cut apart with shock in his eyes.

Asura finished with Dame after a minute of struggle and laid down to rest, he couldn't fight anymore.

Naruto helped feed on the energy from both enemies but compressed since he didn't want Asura to just evolve. Killing such a power Champion was more than enough for the evolution.

But it was not wise since Asura didn't have much fire data. Naruto intended for Asura to kill some dragons and fire digimon before it. Regardless, he had continued to feed Asura quality fire data so he was still satisfying the condition.

He was just being extra careful for the best results.

With that enemy taken care of, Naruto locked on to one of the Woodmon and threw his spear.

It was filled with fire chakra and tore through the air, and got stuck halfway into the monster before fully covering it in flames.

That was enough for Goku to quickly finish up the threat with Takato.

Naruto looked around and locked on to another target that was hidden from sight and smell but the wind told him everything.

He was the best friend that it couldn't lie to.

The digimon had been bothering his friends and with just one move, it was immobilized by his golden chains.

Naruto could finally recreate the Uzumaki chains and for extra power, he mixed them with the real chains he had bought.

Commandramon was caught and couldn't move at all while the blade part of the chains pointed at his head.

Naruto looked at the Digimon with a calm gaze.

This was a battle between two enemy forces. There was no good or evil involved in this conflict.

Regardless, the digimon were the aggressors while humanity was the weak defender.

"What do you think about me?" Naruto asked as he smiled

His question and expression was surprising that it was dumfounded.

It didn't respond but it thought Naruto was a powerful creature, one that needed to be eliminated like they had been commanded.

"I see, you think I am good. I was thinking about you for a long time now. I want you as my partner and I will make you reach higher than Darkdramon." Naruto spoke with his sweet tongue, trying to seduce the digimon to submit to him.

The digimon didn't say anything.

"Normally, you would most likely get stuck at the next stage and that is if you get to the next stage. There aren't enough resources for it.

Don't you want to become powerful, and stand above all?

Look at my partner, what is he?

He is a Candlemon.

Do you understand what just happened?

Candlemon beat a Champion Rank Digimon, and you could be like him.

I can make you strong like him.

Don't worry, as your previous boss can't target you if you accept my proposal." Naruto pointed towards Asura and spoke in a very attentive tone.

Commandramon was a soldier. He had been taught to always resist the enemies and it was the reason that most Tamers didn't have one. Some did and actually formed a bond while some got backstabbed.

It was one of the risky types of digimon.

Regardless, the digimon was definitely interested. He had seen the battle and knowing that it was a Rookie, had him extremely shocked.

The desire to become stronger than everyone was part of its nature. It was a dragon and its metal implants weren't going to change that pride.

It was the reason that the original Darkdramon continued to chase down BanchoLeomon, as it could not accept the loss and needed to kill the target to prove its superiority.

Other than the desire for power, there was death staring him in the eyes.

"I submit." Commandramon muttered while its eyes shifted around watching for any attack.

Naruto moved and blocked the bullet that went for his new partner.

"Sorry, but he is now mine." Naruto teased as Commandramon entered his digivice and with that the contract was done.

Sealsdramon was angered by his attitude but he couldn't attack him. The rules stopped him from taking the step or he would have interfered.

Calling the others, he had them retreat.

There was no point in attacking this team anymore. They were too strong.

They needed to wait for orders from above to decide what to do.

Break the rule or let the human go.
