Chapter 3

You released your digimon from your digivice at your side and shushed them quickly so they didn't make any noise. Stealth was a great skill, but it came undone the moment you attacked someone.

Using the scan function of your visualizor visor, you scanned the two digimon and clicked your tongue, "Betamon's a virus type but Toy Agumon's a a vaccine."

Which meant your digimon both being virus types, would deal only half the damage to it. Well, at the very least, you could help out as well. Holding up your digivice again, you brought out the weapon you scanned from that Goblimon with the Copy and Paste skill way back when you first met both your digimon as a pair of Pagumon.

The club settled easily into your palm and you grinned, wrapping your fingers tightly around it.

"Look guys, the Toy Agumon is the biggest threat, so we're gonna pile on it first," you whispered to your digimon, "DemiDevimon, hypnotise it, then block off Betamon from helping it out while Agumon hits it with his Spitfire Blast and I'll smash its head in with my club."

DemiDevimon saluted you with his wing, "Gotcha boss," while his brother pumped his clawed fist excitedly.

"Go!" You ordered, and then sprinted towards the Toy Agumon, Black Agumon by your side.

"Evil Whisper!" you heard DemiDevimon's voice beyond you declare, and watched as red rings flew passed your running form and washed over the Toy Agumon, causing it to slump over.

the Betamon shrieked in fright, but you paid it no heed and neither did your little black dinosaur as he reared back his head and then threw it forward and unleashed a large, compressed stream of flame that smashed into his blocky counterpart.

When the flames washed away, toy Agumon had fell to a knee, groaning in pain, body singed. It didn't get anytime to gather its bearings though as you reached it and smashed your club directly into its face so hard it flipped up backwards and landed on its front.

"You!" the Betamon shouted angrily as you came into view after attacking, you saw electricity building over its form, but before it could unleash its attack, DemiDevimon zipped past you, one of his clawed feet clad in ebony embers.

"Devi Claw!" your bat digimon shouted, slashing his clawed foot across the aquatic digimon's side and forcing it to release its attack and shriek in pain.

DemiDevimon came in at just the right time. Raising your club up above your head, with a shout you brought it down as hard as you could, smashing it into the machine digimon's back.

It gave a very loud scream of pain, that was cut off as Black Agumon rushed up, one clawed arm glowing white and smashed a punch into the downed digimon's face as it tried to push itself up.

You grinned. "Perfect!" it gave you enough time to raise your club up again and smash it back down into the digimon, drawing another ear splitting scream from the digimon.

You'd think yourself cruel for doing this in any other situation, but most of these digimon don't care a lick about others, only caring about destroying other digimon and devouring their data so they can digivolve.

It tried to stand up once again, showing just how resilient even a rookie digimon was. A normal human would have been hospitalized, maybe even killed after the first few attacks you and your digimon unleashed on it.

But it as for naught as Black Agumon smashed another punch into its face and downed it once more, setting it up for you to lift your club and smash it into the digimon once final time, causing it to burst into red flakes of data.

As the data from Toy Agumon floated into the air, you whirled around to look at DemiDevimon facing off against Betamon, catching sight of the little winged bat deftly dodging aside and avoiding a large lance of lightning.

You had to withhold a whistle, Betamon was slow but it had some decent power behind it, you weren't going to lie.

You couldn't let that data go to waste, so you and your digimon had to finish off Betamon quickly. With its attention focused on DemiDevimon, you lined up your club over your shoulder and tossed it at the little green aquatic digimon.

Thankfully because it was distracted, it didn't notice the otherwise easily dodge able attack and squealed in pain as the heavy club smashed into its side.

"Now hypnotise it!" You shouted to your digimon, before turning to Black Agumon who was looking at the data floating in the air and almost salivating, "Finish it off with Mach Jab and then a quick Pepper Breath if it's still alive!"

Black Agumon nodded and rushed the downed aquatic digimon. You turned back around to see the Betamon falling limp briefly under DemiDevimon's Evil Whisper, giving Agumon the chance he needed.

Lunging forward with his claws glowing, Black Agumon cried out, "Mach Jab!" and smashed his fist as hard as he could into the downed digimon, causing it to explode into similar flakes of data to Toy Agumon.

"Load em up boys," You told your digimon with a grin.

The two virus type digimon quickly followed your orders, and dragged the data floating in the air towards them, absorbing it into themselves and becoming all the stronger for it.

When they were done, you pulled out your digivice and loaded them back inside it. "Now we just need our payment and we're done." you hum aloud. You're not leaving this private server till you get paid.

If the guy tries to gip you, your going to tear apart his server and use it to trace his account details. Standard hacker procedure.

"Right boss, I'll message him and let him know," DemiDevimon replied. He was much quicker than you at this kind of thing while you were inside cyberspace, which was why you returned them to your digivice.

Plus, that didn't take long at all. You could hang around for another couple of hours in Eden before you had to return to the real world, so there were a few things you could get done. Especially now that you were set on getting your digimon stronger for higher tier jobs.

You could head into Kowloon. It being the data graveyard, you could find pockets of data for your digimon to absorb and get stronger from, it was where the vast majority of digimon ended up after ending up in Eden. You never went simply because of the risk, not just from the free roaming digimon either.

Hacker teams loved to hang around Kowloon and keep it as their turf to catch digimon for selling or training up new members of their teams, and if they didn't like the looks of you, they could pick a fight and try to delete your digimon.

Granted, it was mostly weaker hackers and their digimon that hung around the earliest floor in Kowloon, the stronger teams preferred to hang around in the lower floors where the stronger kinds of digimon usually congregated to look for free data or fight and kill each other to download their opponent's data.

The public Eden rooms weren't all that interesting, especially with them being so bright. They were basically just public places, granted where you could shop online and such.

There was the Digimarket as well, one of the few private server URL's you had on hand, you'd been given it after doing a little job for the Zaxxon hacker team. It was more or less a black market where hacker's went to sell digimon. You'd heard there were some cruel fucks there, would do as you instructed to turn a job even if that meant bruising up a digimon to make it easy pickings for you to destroy.

You could literally go buy a champion level digimon, have one of them soften it up and let your digimon finish it off for its data if you wanted to power them up really quickly. But it was a bit cruel to do.

"There we go boss," DemiDevimon piped up rousing you from your thoughts, "The payment has been completed and sent to your account, we can get out of here now."

Perfect. Granted, it was only ten thousand yen, but since the government handled your living expenses and even gave you a small stipend for other things like clothes and such, any money you made on the side from working in Eden went to a total sum for you to use for anything you wanted, or just plain save it up.
