Chapter 9

Your thoughts raced. You didn't pay much attention to Woodmon in any of the cards or games, it just didn't appeal to you much. Meramon on the other hand? Was both a common digivolution of Agumon and pretty cool, so you knew it well even without your visor giving your its data.

A fire attribute, data type champion level digimon.

You jerked your head at it, "Agumon, hose that candle out!" You barked an order while the idiot talked.

Honestly, when would people get the memo that talking really wasn't a free action? This isn't a damn anime or turn based game.

"Gotcha boss!" Black Agumon shouted and nodded his head. Stepping forward, the black dinosaur digimon roared and slammed his clawed hands into the ground just as you lifted your digivice and reloaded Gazimon and Demidevimon.

"Water Tower!" your digimon cried out.

Before the two digimon could even react, a massive plume of water shot up like a geyser from the ground with enough force to shatter a boulder and dragged Meramon high into the air, bellowing loudly in pain until suddenly, it wasn't and it burst into data.

"W-what the!" the idiot stepped back in fright at seeing his champion go down.

Woodmon lifted both of its massive bark-like arms up into the air and they began to glow a bright green, it made to run forward, only it didn't get the chance.

"Electric Stun Blast!"

"Demi Darts!"

A bolt of lightning and three syringe spears stabbed into it and brought it to the ground. You grinned as you saw its body going limp under the stun effect of Gazimon's attack.

But you weren't done there, oh no. you loaded your Goblimon club and followed with your own Electric Stun Blast, just as Black Agumon stepped forward, flames pulling in his mouth as he spat out a large fireball.

"Electric Stun Blast!"

"Pepper Breath!"

Both slammed into the tree digimon and it groaned in pain.

"H-holy shit, what the fuck man!" the hacker stuttered, pulling up his digivice, "They're fucking rookies, how the fuck!?"

You prepared for him to enact some skill to help his digimon. Only for him to press a button and disappear in a flash of blue light. He'd used the Gate skill to escape, and left his fucking digimon behind.

You gaped in utter shock at the cowardice of him!

For a moment, you were tempted to call the attack off. Woodmon was obviously just obeying its tamer, like your digimon do for you. But at the same time, this thing was really okay with killing you and your digimon and you're not okay with that.

You don't know if you could trust it if you let it join you. So you're not going to give it the chance. It's data is going to nourish your digimon.

"Finish it off boys!" You ordered, lifting your club into the air, electricity sparking around it and your three digimon following your lead.

"Electric Stun Blast!"

"Electric Stun Blast!"

"Demi Darts!"

"Spitfire Blast!"

All four attacks swarmed the downed tree digimon and with a brief rumble of pain, it burst into flakes of data just like Meramon before it.

You felt a flash of guilt before you buried it, although you allowed yourself to at least feel sorry for it.

You eyed the data floating above you and decided to scan Woodmon's data. It's the least you could do for it you supposed since you didn't trust its last incarnation but were tempted to help it regardless.

Lifting your digivice, you scanned the green data it left behind and stopped once a green digi-egg appeared on your screen.

Now, this was a bit unfair to the other two, but, "Hey, Gazimon, DemiDevimon, are you guys fine with Agumon loading this data?" you ask both digimon, "I know he's got a bunch so far over you, but I think if he takes all this data he'll digivolve and we won't need to worry about other champons taking us out."

Demidevimon replied instantly, "It's fine with me boss," he replied, "You know I prefer to work instead of fight anyway, let the big lug lead the charge for a bit while I run your website and the like."

Gazimon nodded beside him "Yeah boss, besides, I only hatched today and these two already gave me a ton of data to let me digivolve right away," the bunny wolf cross said, "Besides, Agumon did most of the fighting for this data anyways."

"Yeah, and with a Champion you'll be able to take much better jobs boss, so I say go for it!" DemiDevimon added.

"Right then, thanks guys." you knelt down and swept the two into a tight hug that they readily returned, wrapping a paw and wing around you. You stayed like that for a few moments before unwrapping and returning them to the digivice.

You turned to Black Agumon who was looking at you intently, and nodded at him. He returned the nod and then turned to the data, spreading his arms wide and at once the data floating in the air converged and swirled around him like a green and red tornado and sunk into his body.

Then he erupted into a bright white glow as soon as every particle of data entered his body.

"Black Agumon digivolve to...!"

The light grew and morphed, up and up, and up even more until the glowing figure towered above you. then the glow receded and your newly digivolved digimon stood there in plain view.

"Black Greymon!" He roared so loud it felt the ground shook beneath you.

Massively tall and bulky, he was easily fifteen feet tall if not more so, his once ebony black scales now a deep dark blue, green eyes turned golden and a shiny grey black horned helmet adorned his head.

You couldn't help it, you laughed.

He was so, so beautiful like this!

You must have spent a good ten minutes just admiring how awesome Black Greymon was and seeing him fire off some of his attacks. That Mega Burst was lethal as fuck man.

It wasn't until you checked you checked your digivice and saw that it was past seven that you broke out of your stupor. You recalled that you still hadn't done your homework yet and you'd been blowing off quite a bit of it lately.

And it was due tomorrow!

Quickly, you recalled Black Greymon into your digivice and pulled up your terminal, activating your gate skill to leave Kowloon quickly and then log out.

The artificial world of Eden faded from around you, leaving you sitting in the darkness of your room. Thank god you splurged for your computer chair, otherwise your back would be killing you right now.

"Hey boss," DemiDevimon piped up from your computer screen, transmitting via the physical copy of your digivice that you had plugged in to your computers USB port, "While you get your homework done, I'll be working on cracking this digivice."

"Thanks buddy," you say before standing up and stretching to get rid of any kinks. You'd been tempted to hatch both Tsumemon and Tamemon right now, but you figure you'll just put it off for now, you got enough done today as it is, and they wouldn't be going anywhere.
