Chapter 29

Hacking the camera footage was a dud move. Someone had already gotten to them and wiped the footage clean. Something fishy was going on, and when you tried to bring it up with Ruki after class ended and school let out, she kind of froze up for a moment before beating a hasty retreat.

It all but confirmed she was involved with digimon appearing in the real world. And some big wigs also were, probably the government.

Honestly, your way home you kind of welcomed the familiar sight of mist pooling out over an area and hiding it from view. Just so happening to be in Shinjuki Park that you walked through every day on your way home from school.

"Badaboom!" a voice shouted, echoing through the mist. You saw a tiny flash of red, and knew you found the core of the most.

"Gah!" you heard the same voice cry out after hearing something heavy smacking against flesh.

"I..hah...won't lose to ya'! Ya damn green turd!" the voice spoke up again after the sound of something hitting the ground rang out.

You heard a screech of rage, almost monkey-like in reply to the taunt, and sped up a little bit, stepping through the mist and taking in the two combatants.

One was a Goblimon, you knew that screech of rage sounded familiar. Oh the irony.

The other, you cast a look at its downed opponent. A child-like digimon with purple skin that reminded you of Demi-Devimon in looks, but kind of more humanish.

The little guy looked all beaten up to hell, but still sported a defiant glare, both at the Goblimon and at you.

"What'a you lookin' at, huh punk!?" the Impmon, you recognized it as, snarled at you.

Goblimon screeched at you this time and launched itself at your turned back while your attention was on Impmon.

You reached out without even turning and grabbed the goblin digimon by the throat, squeezed until it choked, and then pulled it around and delivered a punch as hard as you were able straight to its face.

Its skull briefly crunched under your fist, before the green rookie gave a low keening cry and burst into green flakes of data.

"That wasn't very hard was it?" you asked with a raised eyebrow. You were also very carefully keeping your voice level so as to now show much you wanted to gush over your own epicness.

Because holy shit that was fucking awesome! you're a bonafide badass!

Impmon gaped at you for a few seconds before fury filled his eyes. "Are you kidding me!" the little digimon screamed and began to slam his red gloved hists against the ground, "That thing was beating me around like a ragdoll and some human kills it so easily? I've struggled and fought every day since I was born and this is all I amount to!"

You watched as the virus digimon seemed to suffer some kind of break down at the revelation of your strength and start raging against the ground, the air, and you a bit.

Not a bit of fear to him at all, or if there was, he was too defiant to let it hold any sway.

You kind of liked that.

"I've raised four champion level digimon." you spoke up, breaking him from his raging.

"..What?" Impmon gave you a befuddled look.

You smiled, walking over and crouching down, "I've raised four very powerful champion level digimon," you repeated, then held your hand to to the downed digimon, "And I like that attitude of yours, what do you say? Become my digimon and I'll make you strong."

Impmon continued to stare at you for a good thirty seconds. Before he growled and narrowed his eyes, "..You know what?" he began, "Fine, I'll let you be my tamer as long as you make me digivolve." he placed his gloved hand in your own and you helped him up.

"Don't worry little buddy, I'll have you at the champion level within a couple days at most." you reassured him.

"..Heh, maybe this won't be so bad then." Impmon replied with a snort.

Before you could do anything else, a bright light shot up from the ground and an orb of light formed at chest level. And within it, a strange device.

Reaching up, you took it in hand and the glow faded away completely. This thing was definitely some kind of digivice. "What the fuck?" you gaped.

Where the fuck had it come from? No seriously, what!?
