Jayr POV - Digimon Tamers Universe, Digital World, Lowest Layer - 2001

  Quickly after we finished our discussion about everything my panions o know about the logic, methods, and requirements of Digimon evolutions, imon Partner finally fiheir meal in the form of trated milk-like Data.

  All five of them quickly fell asleep as they started to digest their meal and with that, we resumed our aimless wandering in the barre that is the lowest yer of this Server of the Digital World.

  While holding the sleeping on, Leafmon, and Poyomon in my arms, I easily sense how they are slowly digesting the Data tained in their meal and using it to stabilize their positional data within their bodies.

  Sensing that ongoing process, I smile brightly while thinking, 'Good... I'm pretty sure that ohis process is over they will evolve to their Baby II stage, at that point, they will be stable enough to support their existen the Real World. After all, since I'm here and thanks to a very lucky series of events I have already pleted my main objective... the best thing I do is make sure that nothing bad happens to the 10 years old kids who are destio shoulder the fate of this universe until it is time for the sed Random Battle, and of course ge some things here and there...'

  As we tio walk without a clear dire, suddenly from the distance a loud, angry roar is heard that reminds me of something out of a Jurassic Park movie, which is quickly followed by another very simir o with a lighter tone which makes Zandeer ent, "It seems that some kind of battle is about to start nearby..."

  Nikita nods, and then she looks at me and asks, "So... we aren't avoiding imon anymore?"

  I nod and calmly reply to Nikita's question, "Not really, the little guys are now out of their Digitama, which was their most defenseless and frail state. Now there isn't any more a o worry about something happening to them, especially sihey are about to evolve to the even more stable Baby II stage..."

  At the same time, I'm saying that I take a look at the three Baby I Level Digimon in my arms ahat they are now awake but they all show a differeion, on looks excited at the dire where the roars e from, Poyomon is still calm, but it moved closer to Leafmon to reassure it as Leafmon who seems very wary almost scared.

  I also take a moment to look at the rea of my panion's Digimon Partner ahat the rea of Botamon in Zandeer's arm is simir to on but with the differehat there isn't oement but also some kind of eagerness, like it 't wait for his time to e so that it join simir battles, making me believe that Zandeer ended up with a cute little battle maniac.

  Oher hand, the rea of Yukimi Botamon in Nikita's arms is also iing, or to be more precise the ck of it as Yukimi Botamon is still peacefully sleeping in Nikita's embrace without a care of the surrounding world.

  After taking a quick look at them, I calmly ask everyone including imon, "Now, would you like to watch a battle for survival between two wild and aggressive Digimon?"

  Nikita and Zandeer respond with a simple nod, at the same time, on and Botamon both shout out, ""Yes!!"" while Poyomon simply looks at Leafmon, who quietly mutters, "Safe...?"

  Uanding his question, I give him a reassuring smile and reply, "Yes, it is very safe, from what I sehe party involved are only Adult Level Digimon which is something that I, Nikita, and Zandeer easily deal with... You have nothing to worry about."

  Hearing that Leafmon then simply nods and with that, we don't hesitate any more and quickly walk toward the point in of those threatening roars.

  We don't have to walk too far away from our previous position to reach our destination, and soon, we see right in front of us the somewhat expected sight of two dinosaur-like Digimon fag and threatening each other.

  One is a big bipedal Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon with blue eyes, three fingers on each hand, three toes on each foot, and a pair of teeth se they pop out of the mouth.

  It has red skin on its body, white skin on its belly, and bck stripes on its head, tail, and legs, with big white cws on its fingers and toes which are clearly very sharp and deadly, and it has green ptes on its back.

  The name of that Digimon is Tyranomon, another very iic Digimon and one of the most possible evolutions of Agumon, famous for its intelligend its docile personality despite its fierce appearand retively high power, making it easy to tame for inexperienced Digimon Tamers.

  Oher side, there is a rge, blue dinosaur derived from the Allosaurus with red stripes on its body, it has green eyes, a light blue belly, and a front neck.

  In addition, this Digimon has red hair, white feathers with red tips, and red and yellow striped feathers on the back of its head drawing inspiration from the Native Ameris like its previous evolution, Hawkmon.

  The name of this Digimon is Allomon, mostly famous for the rivalry between it and its fellow species of Dinimon, Tyranomon, as those two species 't help themselves but fight whehey enter each other despite the usual personality of the Tyranomon species.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Watg the two dinosaurs Digimon, one red and the other blue, staring and snarling at each other searg for a moment of weakness or an opening to start their attack, I calmly introduce the partits of this battle to my panion, I start by pointing at Tyranomon and say, "It seem they have yet to truly fight oher... well, let me introduce them. The red dinosaur is Tyranomon, an Adult Level Digimon. A Digimon that resembles an a dinosaur that existed in the prehistoric world. It sweeps everything away with its two well-developed arms and its gigantic tail. Its Special Move is spewing out deep crimsohe same color as its body and with a temperature hot enough to melt through the most resistaals, this Special Move is called Fire Breath."

  As soon as I finish saying that, Allomos out another powerful roar and then it uses its powerful legs to run at blistering speed toward Tyranomon, tilts its head down, and takes a horizontal stance, with the clear i of smming into the oppo head first.

  In respoo that, Tyranomon also roars, before it also tilts its head down taking a simir stance, and then starts to run to ram against the ining oppo.

  The red and the blue dinosaurs meet in the middle as their heads crash against oher geing a powerful shockwave, before Allomon is sent flying back despite starting the attack first, and that thanks to its superior speed it gathered more momentum, but it is clear that Tyranomon has a clear physical advantage over Allomon, not only in simply pure raw power but even more importantly i.

  At the same time, I point at Allomon who is quickly getting up from the ground, and say, "Meanwhile, the blue dinosaur over that is Allomon, an Armor Level Dinimon that evolved through the power of the "Digimental of Ce". Particurly ferocious among Dinimon, it is in a hostile retionship with fellow Dinosaur-type Tyranomon for some strange reason. Allomon's special features are having powerful leg strength, and being able to run at blistering speed by tilting its head down and taking a horizontal stance like you just witnessed. Its Special Move is spewing out an ultra-high temperature wind which is called Dino Burst..."

  Hearing that, Nikita 't help herself from releasing a groan before asking, "Armor? Another evolutionary stage? What is this now? How is this different from the others? I thought that you already told us everything we o know?"

  Meanwhile, Tyranomon roars loudly and taking advantage of the small adva gained from the previous csh, opens its maw wide while shouting "Fire Breath!" spewing deep crimson fmes from its mouth that are the same color as its body.

  In response, Allomon roars back before opening its own maw wide while shouting, "Dino Burst!" releasing a vortex of ultra-high temperature wind from its mouth.

  Soon the crimson fmes crash against the wind vortex geing a terrifying fme tornado hot enough to turn the ground in its immediate surroundings into molten va.

  At the same time, I make a fake cough, and a little embarrassed, I say, "*Cough* Well, I fot about it... it is only when I saw Allomon that I remembered about it."

  After saying that I start to expin, "Anyway, in simple words, Armor is an artificial Evolution Stage prised of Digimon who have, typically, used a Digimental to undergo Armor Evolution. Armiminated in aimes with the development of the pseudo-evolutionary process of Armor Evolution. In order to pensate for limited evolution options and limited likelihood of ever-evolving, A Species Digimon developed the teology of Digimentals whipatible Digimon could use to Armor Evolve. However, the teology is now lost."

  While I'm expining the Armor Evolution, the fire tornado that resulted from the crash of Tyranomon's Fire Breath and Allomon's Dino Burst dissipates leaving behind only the scrotg hot air and the small patolten va betweewo dinimon.

  At the same time, as soon as the fire tornado dispersed, Allomon once again started to run toward Tyranomon, tilted its head down, took a horizontal stance, and thes powerful legs to leap over the molten va yelling, "Dynamite Head!" with the clear i of smming into the oppo head first.

  But in respoyranomon turns its body and uses its tail to intercept Allomon with a powerful swipe and sms Allomon on the ground.

  Then without giving its oppo any ce, Tyranomon opens its maw and spews a torrent of deep crimson fmes from its mouth yelling, "Fire Breath!!"

  Engulfed by Tyranomon's deadly fme, Allomos out a mournful as its body breaks down into tless motes of Data, which then, starts to get absorbed by the victorious Tyranomon.

  Meanwhile, as Tyranomon "loads" its defeated oppo's Data into its body, enhang its own parameters while at the same time getting closer to the Perfect level, I calmly tio expin to my panions what I know about Armor Evolution, "Moving on, I already told you guys that eadividual Armimon is the result of using a specific Digimental. Armimon draw their power from their Digimentals, specifically from the Digimental's elemental attribute, which generally grants them both the ability to wield that element and other enha effects that in some maie into the element. Relying on borrowed power from Digimentals instead of their own innate power enables Armimon to easily draw upo power, for this reason, Armor Evolution was viewed as dangerous in the a Digital World. Armimon typically, but not universally, evolves from Child Digimon but of course, there are always exceptions. The ability to Armor Evolve is also limited to patible Digimon, usually A Species or those who i their genes."

  I stop for a moment and focus on Tyranomon who just finished loading Allomon's Data and it is now looking at us, moreover, its gaze stops on our Partner Digimon for a little longer, but before I say anything, Tyranomon slightly lowers its head saying "Hello..." before peacefully leaving searg for a pce to rest or maybe some new prey.

  Seeing that, I simply resume my expnation moving on to the Power Level of Armimon, "The power of Armimon vary siderably, so some are categorized as belonging to an Evolution Stage of equivalent power for crity. The affinity between a Digimon and Digimental affects the power of the resulting Armimon, whicreases the better affinity they have with it, and it is said that if they have perfepatibility with each other, then the resulting Digimon will even be able to express Ultimate-css power. Another factor is the Digimental used, as two Digimentals, Miracles and Fate, are associated with granting their users exceptional, potentially Ultimate-css, power. The majority of Digimon media either treats the Armor level as roughly equivalent to the Adult level, or simply assigns Armimon directly to the Adult level but a on exception are certain Digimon who are created using the Digimentals of Miracles and Fate, Magnamon, Rapidmon Armor, and Gold V-dramon, who are often described as either possessing almost Ultimate-css power, having the potential to exert Ultimate-css power on occasion, or in some cases, are ht assighe Ultimate Level directly."

  Suddenly, Zendeer ents, "I got it! So basically Armimon are more or less something like the Saints of your home universe, mostly regur Digimon without the "armor", but with it, they bee a hell lot stronger by passing the restris of the usual evolution."

  Hearing that, I nod finding his parison somewhat correct, and say, "That's right. This is the principal idea behind the Armor Evolution."

  But just as I'm about to add something else, Nikita interrupts us and says, "Are we just gonna ighe fact that the big, scary red dinimon that just killed and absorbed animon looked at us, greeted us like nothing happened and then he left?"

  Hearing that, I smile and expin, "e on, Nikita. I already told you guys that the Tyranomon species is famous for its intelligend its docile personality. Even in a setting like the one iamer Universe where it is mostly about the survival of the fittest. There are still Digimon who follow their own moral code. It is obvious that Tyranomon saw that the Digimon that are with us are still at their Baby Level, so it didn't sider us a threat to its existence, aher did it wish to harm us. Now if the winner of that fight would have been Allomon, I'm pretty sure that sidering its much mgressive nature, then, it wouldn't have hesitated in attag us to load even more Data no matter how minuscule and irrelevant to its progress..."

  After that discussion, we tio explore this barre, entering many more instances of Digimon fighting one another, and even being attacked by a few more evil-aligned Digimon who didn't hesitate to attack Baby Digimon and humans to load their Data, which luckily were all Adult or even a few Child Level, of course, such attack were easily repelled by us.

  But while I didn't hesitate to kill the Adult Level Digimon and use their Data to create more meals for imon, I made sure that the Child Level Digimon were only simply repelled giving them the ce to grow and maybe evolve into a better Digimon.

  Just like that, another hour passed and finally, our Partner Digimon fully digested their meal, which meant that it was very likely that they would evolve at any moment now, but after a few moments of waiting nothing happened, and I finally remembered a little detail uo this universe of the Digimon Multiverse, 'That's right! In an attempt to avoid provoking the D-Reaper, Qinglongmon had the Digi-Entelechy, which be transted as the light of evolution, transformed into a Digimon and hidden away, to make evolution impossible... Oh well, that is quite easy to fix, after all, the Spiral Power IS the power of evolution and my Spiral o is eveer!"

  Realizing that, I don't hesitate and quickly send a small tray Spiral o into our D-Arks making sure to send just enough energy timon through it, and as expected, the result is instantaneous.

  The first oo show a ge is Yukimi Botamon in Nikita's arms who fully stabilize its Data and quickly, its whole body starts to shine in a bright white light as it evolves into the stage.

  Soon the light fades away and Nikita's Digimon shows its neearahe once fluffy cilia are gone, and ihe surface of its body is now covered with snow, it also grew a small mound-like body, with two cute arms, then it also has ice-like beak, cw, and icicle that grow out of its back, overall, it looks like a small cute snowman, the name of this new form is Hiyarimon.

  [colpse]But before we gratute Hiyarimon for its evolution, the Botamon in Zandeer's arms also starts to shine in a bright white light as its body quickly goes through drastic ges.

  After a few seds, Zandeer's Digimon evolution process is over, and the new form couldn't be more familiar and iiohe fuzz c its surface, and its body grew even bigger being a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with floppy ears, bright-red eyes, and sharp teeth, it became Koromon, the Digimon who evolve into the poster child of the whole Digimon Multiverse, Agumon.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Just as I'm looking at the newly evolved Hiyarimon and Koromon that just jumped down from my panion's arms and started to move around to get used to their new bodies, I quickly notice that on, Leafmon, and Poyomon in my arms also started to shine in a bright white light as their bodies ge as they gh their evolution.

  A few moments ter, the light fades away revealing my Digimon new Baby II forms in all their glory.

  on evolved into a small Digimon that vaguely resembles a baby dragon or dinosaur, it is blue with a white belly and has two long ears and a tail, it became a Chibimon.

  (Image Here - Chibimon)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Leafmon evolved into Minomon, whose appearand name e from the rva of a moth in Japanese, minomushi, its skin is green and its mouth is pink, and on its head, it has a small stem that appears to be what is left of the Leafmon leaf, it has ears like Leafmon's but lowo little front legs stig out of the browhat protects it.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Last but not least, is Poyomon who evolved into Tokomon, a small Digimon with snow-white skin, four stubby legs, two bck, beady eyes, two ribbon-like eyebrows, and two small fangs protruding from beh its upper lip, it also has four sets of sharp teeth in its mouth remi of Fizzgig, two lower sets of teeth, two upper sets of teeth.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]After giving them a quice, I gratute them for their evolution aly put down Chibimon, Minomon, and Tokomon, who quickly join Hiyarimon and Koromon iing used to their new bodies as they all py together.

  At the same time, I look at Zandeer and Nikita, and with a smile on my face, I say, "Now that imon evolved to the more stable Baby II level, we head to the Real World without w about any issue arising. We'll-."

  But before I could tinue, suddenly, Nikita raised her hand and without waiting for me to finish what I was saying, she asked, "Wait, Jayr! I still don't uand why are we going to the Real World. Isn't better for Hiyarimon and the others to remain in the Digital World?"

  Hearing that, I let out a sigh and then, I answered her question, "Not really, once our Partner Digimon reaches the Child level, the most effective way for them to evolve is to take advantage of their bond with us. The reason for that is that Humans artnered with Digimon and have a Digivice, basically Tamers like us and Chosen Children, are able to use their energy to artificially indu evolution of their Partner Digimon to a higher Evolution Stage. These evolutions are generally short-lived, only sting for one or two battles. After the battle, they will usually devolve back to the form that they regurly inhabit when their human partner is not evolving them. Like I said before, the ability of a human to evolve their partner Digimon is typically based on the bond that the two share, and on the emotional state and maturity of the human partner. When both their retionship and their mis are healthy, they are able to evolve, and as they improve, they bee able to evolve inter and strimon. For this reason, it is useless for us to stay in the Digital World and push imon into otle after the other or feed them a lot of Data to push their evolution forward, we only o create a strong genuine bond with them and then we only o use our energies to make them evolve when needed. So it is better to focus on the Real World to watch over those destio protect this universe."

  I watch as all imon are running around chasing each other and with a smile, I add, "Moreover, it isn't like the Real World is exactly calm and safe at the moment, there is Hypnos that is causing quite a few problems, it is an anization dedicated to studying Digimon and trying to prevent their Realization, including ht destroying them. This anization mainly uses twrams to deal with Digimon that are the Yuggoth and Shaggai programs, which could track Digimon as they cross between the border of the dimensions ae them before they fully Realize, what they don't know is that because of the use of those programs, they will make it even easier fimon to cross over the Dimensional Barrier and reach the Real World."

  Hearing that, Zandeer snorts while enting, "Cssic of humanity... they are always able to find new ways to fuck themselves over..."

  I show my agreement by nodding, and then, I tinue, "But that isn't the only problem... One of the Four Holy Beasts believes that Digimon shouldn't partner with humans and wants tthen the Digimon through flict with the humans so that they fa existential threat for both the Digital and Real World... the D-Reaper."

  At this point, Nikita let out a defeated sigh as she ented, "Of course... there is always some world-destroying camity somehow... after we are doh this universe and with the Random Battle, I want to visit some peaceful universe... if they even actually exist..."

  Then she asks, "So, what kind of abomination is this D-Reaper?"

  I don't run around the issue and simply start to expin, "The D-Reaper is something uo the Digimon Tamers Universe, it was inally a puter program, also called the "D-Reaper," which was created in the 1970s, long before the Wild Bunch began their research, therefore, it "predates" ital lifeforms such as the DigiGnomes and Digimon. Its inal purpose was te data from memory spaces in order to reset them to zero which alternatively described as deleting useless data from the work. At some point, however, the program underwent an aberrant evolution and became the D-Reaper entity. The precise cause of its evolution is a mystery, but it is specuted to have e into tact with another world entirely during its hibernation in the depths of the Digital World... which isn't se sidering the multiversal nature of this universe as a whole."

  Sensing the i of our Partner Digimon in the subject as they stopped running around and are now carefully listening to our discussion, I give some more details, "This program has quite iing in-universe history as multiple events in the history of w and puter sce have beeed or implied to have been linked in some way to the D-Reaper:-In the early 1970s, the world's first puter worm, Creeper, spread across the Uates Department of Defense's ARPA until a program by the name of Reaper eradicated it.-The self-defense system built into the Ameri/British mass surveilnce program ECHELON, whose operations enced in the 1980s, is theorized by some to have been a foreruo the D-Reaper.-In 1990, the Tierra puter life simutor had a Reaper program that itted a genocide against the simution's virtual lifeforms after they multiplied to the point of exceeding memory limitations.Moreover, acc to one of the Holy Beasts, a different one from the ohat wants to fight humanity to sharpen the Digimon's metaphorical bde, the D-Reaper had bee in the Digital World sis earliest days, when the Digital World sisted only of the physical yer. It inhabited the yer along with the early Digimon and the DigiGhe Digimon had no knowledge of its name or nature beyond that it was her a Digimon nor a DigiGnome, but they deduced that its purpose was to delete them, and came to refer to it as "the true enemy". The D-Reaper was at oime in early history actively seeking out aing Digimon and DigiGnomes, but after a time, it totally vanished from the Digital World, retreated to a world of its owion in the Digital World's deepest depths, aered hibernation. In the D-Reaper's absehere was a simultaneous rapid expansion of both the work and the Digital World. The Digimon were able to proliferate and evolve, but they did so at too fast a rate, and this triggered the D-Reaper into reawakening, with the i of deleting them and it is only a question of time before it actually makes a move."

  At this point, I don't let the somber atmosphere linger much longer and tell everyoo get ready before I use my Spiral o to open a gate to the Real World, and after that, we don't hesitate and jump inside.
