Takato POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  The gym css was going very well when suddenly the fire arm started t catg the attention of Asanuma-sensei, who turned around, and all my other cssmates among whom there is Hirokazu who asks, "What is happening?" followed by Kenta who added, "Is it a fire?" but Toshi-kun quickly denies, "No way... there is no smoke!"

  At the same time, I have a sinking feeling about what this fire arm is actually about as a few moments ago I had the impression to see Guilmon's cardboard box on the school's grounds.

  While I'm starting to panic, I hear Asanuma-sensei as she say, "Everyone, get in line and wait here! I'll go and see what is going on."

  After saying that, Asanuma-sensei quickly starts to run toward the school's main building, and quickly after that, I hear Juri's voice as she asks, "What's wrong, Takato-kun?" making me immediately snap out of my state of stupor and reply, "I... I have something to do!"

  I don't say anything else and quickly start to run toward the school's main building to see if what I'm dreading truly happened and as I run up the stairs the only thing in my mind is 'Guilmon!'

  I quickly reach a hallway full of people from other students to teachers, and also hear some ents around that make my jecture even stronger.

  "I've heard it was a monster!"

  "I think the principal's been drinking on the job..."

  "This sort of thing isn't even scary enough these days to qualify as a school ghost story."

  "Who believes in monsters anymore?"

  "erson would ring the arm just because he saw a monster?"

  "I would, if it was real!"

  Hearing all that, I 't help but mutter "Monster?" and when I finally arrive at the se, I see the principal talking with aeacher, but I don't focus on that, what catches my attention is the familiar cardboard box on the floor, the same cardboard box I gave to Guilmon which firms that what I was fearing for actually happened, Guilmon is here.

  Realizing that I 't help but excim out loud, "Guilmon!" before I start to run to search fuilmon.

  I run outside the building and start to call out, "Guilmon!" but there is no response, so I tio run around searg for my Digimon or any traces it may have left behind.

  Then suddenly I hear the voice of an auntie as she asks, "What's the meaning of this? All of the bread is gone, while the rest of the food is untouched!" followed by another voice that says, "Maybe someone has taken it."

  Hearing that, I don't hesitate and rush toward the nearby building that is the school's kit as this is clearly ected, and ohere, I see the state of the kit as the same auntie says, "But that was all of the bread in the school!" but before they could further discuss this, another voice says, "Anyway, let's hurry a some new bread prepared! We must make ir in time for lunch!"

  Hearing all that, I 't help but feel guilty while thinking, 'It was Guilmon! What should I do? My Guilmon...'

  I start to aimlessly walk around while muttering, "Guilmon... Why did you e to school?" but then an unfamiliar boy's voice suddenly asks, "You just said "Guilmon," right? That's a Digimon isn't it?"

  Hearing that, I turn around to take a look at who is the one speaking to me and see a young boy with tanned skin, short blue hair, and gray eyes, he wears a sleeveless e vest with a zipper over a bck t-shirt, brown pants, bck socks, gray and yellow shoes with white soles, and white wrist bands as he leans his body against a nearby wall with his arm crossed.

  Hearing what he just asked me, I unsciously ask back, "How did you know that?" but then another cute voice also asks, "This person is a Tamer?"

  At the same time, a cute bipedal e with white fur that is striped with green on its colrbone, paws, and the tips of its ears appears from behind the boy.

  Its most promi features are its long, frayed ears and the solitary horn on its forehead, and like a dog, it has bck toes and paw pads.

  That creature 't be mnizable, so much that I 't help myself from exg, "Terriermon! A Terriermon... is talking!"

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Terriermon snickers at my rea and then says, "If you and yimon Partner don't have a good uanding with each other, then you have nht to call yourself a Digimon Tamer!" which makes the boy chide, "Terriermon!" but Terriermon simply starts to jump around with a smile on its face while exg, "Moumantai!"

  Hearing that, I 't help but feel very bad as I realize that what Terriermon just said is true, especially as I see Terriermon and this boy together, so much that as I feel my eyes itg and tears gather in them, I utter, "I... I..." before I simply start to run away from here as random images of everything that happened until now e to my mind and I'm uo hold back the tears from falling from my eyes any longer.

  At least until I stop to sniff up to stop my running nose and look up at the clear sky which makes me suddenly have a strange sensation of where I could actually find Guilmon at the moment, and so, without aation, I run toward the rooftop of the school.

  I sm open the door of the rooftop and start to look around and instantly rex as I see Guilmon's figure in the distance looking up at the sky, 'Guilmon...'

  Guilmon notices my presend opens his mouth in a way that I only describe as a smile as he runs toward me yelling, "Takato!" in response, I also start to run toward my Digimon with my arms spread open while yelling, "Guilmon!"

  Guilmon then jumps on top of me yelling, "Takato!" making me fall on the ground, but I don't care about that and simply sit up, my arms around his neck, hug him, and mutter, "Guilmon..."

  Guilmon notices that something is wrong and asks, "Takato, what is wrong?" then he brushes one of his cws close to my eye ing the tears away as he adds, "Your face is leaking."

  I quickly use my arm to clear away the remaining tears and say "Oh, be quiet. There's nothing else to it. You'll have to stay here until I say so, okay? I'll e a you when school is over."

  Guilmon nods then it asks, "Then we py?" to which I reply with a smile and say, "Sure!"

  Jayr POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  I watch from the distance as Terriermon snickers at Takato's rea to its presend then says, "If you and yimon Partner don't have a good uanding with each other, then you have nht to call yourself a Digimon Tamer!" which makes the Lee chide, "Terriermon!" but Terriermon simply starts to jump around with a smile on its face while exg, "Moumantai!"

  At the same time, Takato is clearly hurt by Terriermon's words, so much so that he almost cries on the spot as he stutters, "I... I..." before he simply starts to run off.

  At this point, I step forward and calmly ent, "That was a bit rude... While you didn't say anything wrong, you should cut the kid some sck. After all, he just became a Tamer and his partner is basically a newborn..."

  Terriermon immediately mutters, "Oops!" and freezes in pce while Lee snaps and greets me with a little nervousness in his eyes, "Pucci-sensei...!" but then he finally registers what I just said and excims, "Wait! How do you know about Digimon and Tamers!?"

  I simply smile and say in a teasing tone, "Oh, please... It isn't as much of a secret as you think. Even more so sine random student is so bold t his Digimon Partner into css... I mean, while Terriermon is good in its doll act, it isn't good enough to fool me. You are lucky that Mori-sensei gets easily distracted, especially when Asanuma-sensei is involved."

  Hearing that, Lee seems both stunned and embarrassed as he realizes just how careless he was, meanwhile Terriermon, knowing that I found out about it, simply shrugs its shoulders and starts to wave its paws at me while saying, "Moumantai!"

  I wave bad reply, "Hakuna Matata." which stump both Terriermon for a moment, but then it asks, "What does "Hakuna Matata" mean?"

  I take a moment to seakato's situation and perceive that he is heading toward the rooftop of the school where Guilmon is now standing, before I focus ba Terriermon and expin, "It is a Swahili phrase, and it has basically the same meaning of the tonese phrase "Moumantai". They both mean "No worries" or "Take it easy"..."

  Hearing that, Terriermon starts to jump around while saying, "Hakuna Matata! Moumantai!" which makes me groan a little while asking myself, 'He won't repeat both phrases tinuously from now ht?'

  Meanwhile, Lee finally snaps out of his stuate and asks in an uain way uo find the right words, "Pucci-sensei... what...?"

  At this point, I give him a reassuring smile and say, "Don't worry... I'll protect your secret. Now, hurry up and go back to css as the situation is about to return under trol and the csses will quickly resume..."

  Hearing that, Lee nods, picks up Terriermon, bows lightly, and mutters, "Thank you very much." before he rushes baside.

  At the same time, I take advantage of the fact that his back is now fag me t out my D-Ark and use the Digimon Analyzer fun on Terriermon.

  Soon the D-Ark project Terriormon images with all its relevant information and I read them in my mind, 'Terriermon. Child level. With one hrowing from its head, it is a Digimon shrouded in mystery. It be cssified as a Beast Digimon from its body structure, but it's still not uood what kind of evolved form it will take on. Also, it is rumored that it is sometimes born with a twin. It's a very cute type of Digimon, and from its calm behavior it doesn't seem like a "bat Species" Digimon, but in the case of battle, it shows that it is more powerful than it appears. Its Signature Move is geing a tiny tornado by spinning its ears like a propeller (Petit Twister). Its Special Move is spewing out a shot of superheated air (Bzing Fire). Also, it possesses great power in the Unison Teique Double Typhoon that it performs with Lopmon, its twin.'

  After reading that, I 't help but ent, "As expected... my D-Ark uses information that es directly from Yggdrasil and it also uses some of my own knowledge... After all, this information is way too much detailed and it eveions Lopmon... Oh, well it isn't that much of a problem..."

  Once I firmed that, I didn't waste any more time and quickly moved to help the teacher take trol of the situation, I also helped the principal save his reputation by expining to everyohat the cause behind his unusual as was actually a form of food poisoning that caused him some halluations, which be caused by some fish and toxic spinach, something that the principal luckily ate yesterday, of course, I also made sure to give him other symptoms of food poisoning and a quiade "cure" for it so that he be sent bae a for a couple of days.

  After that, the day tinued like normal as there weren't anymore Digimon Digimon-themed surprises during the various csses thanks to that the school ended on a peaceful note.

  After school, as I return bae I sehat something iing is about to happen in Shinjuku tral Park as I perceive that Takato, Lee, and Ruki are all there at the same with their Digimon Partners, which means that the main Tamers of this universe are about to officially meet.

  Realizing that, I don't hesitate to turn my bike around aoward the Shinjuku tral Park while thinking, 'Luckily it is quite close to my current position. Watg their first true meeting should be fun and it will also help me see if my brief iions with them ged something for the better or worse... and if I have to make a move to fix it.'

  I arrive just in time to see Renamon hit Guilmon with a flying kick which sends the poor newborn Digimon flying against a nearby steel fehat bends uhe red dinimon's weight making a shocked and worried Takato excim, "Guilmon!"

  At the same time, Renamon takes advantage of the terforce of her kip bad nd on a nearby tree, and soon after, Ruki makes her presenht beside the same tree by saying, "Step aside, Tamer. This is a Digimon Battle."

  Takato looks at Ruki and says, "You... I've seen you somewhere..." but Ruki ignores him and decres, "Renamon wants to fight." making Takato raise his head to look at the foxy Digimon croug on the branch of the tree with a little bit of fear in his eyes, before he quickly focus ba the stunned Guilmon and asks, "Are you alright, Guilmon?"

  While Takato is fog on Guilmon, Ruki steps forward as Renamon nds behind her and asks, "You are a Tamer, aren't you?"

  In respoakato looks back at her, and toug his iic goggles he decres, "Yeah, that's right!" which makes Ruki haughtly snort as she says, "Okay. The's get this over with. Since a Digital Field didn't appear, other people see us."

  But Takato still doesn't uand what Ruki means with her words and as, and so upset, he asks, "What do you mean, "get this over with?" Why are you doing these horrible things? Guilmon was just borly!"

  Takato's st decration surprises Ruki, who asks back, "Borly? It's only at the Baby level?" but Takato a little stumped by the question stutters, "Um... well..." before he looks at Guilmon and says, "No, Guilmon is at the Child level. When I created him, that's what I had in mind."

  Hearing that, a somewhat fused Ruki 't help but repeat, "Created?" before she decides to ighe issue and step back she says, "Whatever. Renamon."

  Seeing that I 't help but ent, "As expected of Ruki... she doesn't hesitate to start a fight."

  Meanwhile, as Renamon starts to walk tuilmon, Takato waves his arms yelling, "Don't do it!" whinoys Ruki as she yells back, "Cut it out! Aren't you a Tamer? You should know the reason why a Digimon is born!"

  Stuakato repeats, "The reason?" but before he could have the time to think further about Ruki's words, Renamon makes its move as it jumps high with its arms crossed before it spreads them open to release a bunch of razor-sharp, gss-like leaves which makes Takato instinctively warn his Digimon Partner, "Guilmon, run!"

  Takato's warning es too te as Renamon calls out the name of its teique, "Koyosetsu!" before it unches a volley of those razor-sharp leaves at them as it nds ba the tree's branch, but it is clear that this is simply a warning shot as Renamon held back its power by a lot and even missed both Guilmon and the nearby Takato.

  But the attack awakens Guilmon's wild fighting instincts as its eyes ge from pure i oo a pair of very feral eyes and it doesn't hesitate to terattack by shooting a fireball from its mouth.

  In respoo this attack, Renamon makes use of the tree's branch as a ptform to jump forward and avoid Guilmon's fireball which obliterates a piece of the tree.

  At the same time, Ruki brings up her D-Ark and uses the Digimon Analyzer fun to identify Guilmon, but in her case, only the proje of Guilmon figures appears and no other information making Ruki excim, "No data? What kind of Digimon is that?" something that further firms my theory that thanks to our unusual situation and overall knowledge and power, our D-Arks receive information directly from Yggdrasil.

  Meanwhile, Renamon tackles Guilmon into the ground and the two start to roll around and struggle for dominance as Guilmon bites one of Renamon's arms while Renamon grabs Guilmon's head with her free hand with the i of freeing itself.

  Seeing the se of Guilmon and Renamon's brutal struggle shocks and scares Takato as he mutters, "Guilmon... G-Guilmon's eyes look different..."

  At the same time, Ruki opens her card case attached to her belt and picks up a card, and then she also grabs her D-Ark while saying, "You're sking off, Renamon."

  Takato notices her movement and even more so the card in her hand and excims, "A Digimon card!?"

  Ruki starts to swipe the card in the slot on the right-hand side of her D-Ark while yelling, "Card Ssh!" once she pletes this a, she calls out the name of the card she just swiped, "Heavy Metal!"

  The effect is instantaneous as a metal gau equips on Renamon's free arm and seeing that, Takato ents, "The impact will..."

  Realizing the daakato quickly shouts as he tries to warn his Digimon, "Guilmo away! You'll get killed!"

  But Guilmon is too focused on biting Renamon's arm and so, as Renamon points the metal gau Guilmon's head, Ruki ents with a satisfied smile on her face, "Winner: Renamon."

  At the same time, Takato starts to panic even more as he yells, "Guilmo go! Why aren't you listening to me?" I get ready to make a move in case something ued happens and Renamon actually kills Guilmon.

  But in the end, I don't have to do anything as Guilmon hears Takato's voice, snaps out of its feral state, and turns its head to look in Takato's dire, then he easily lets go of Renamon's arm and rushes toward Takato while yelling cluelessly, "What's wrong, Takato?"

  At the exact same time, Renamohe metal gauo fire a powerful piston to punch Guilmon to death, however, her punch misses Guilmon and the force of the piston firing sends her flying back.

  Soon Renamon recovers and as Guilmon reaches Takato, Ruki ruthlessly orders, "Renamon, don't pay attention to him! Do it now!"

  But Renamoates as it doesn't want to implicate the nearby Takato in its attad turns its head to look at Ruki silently asking for firmation, and Ruki simply says, "Renamon! I won't five you if we lose once more!"

  Hearing that, Renamon jumps tuilmon and Takato with the i of attag them, but just as it is about to attack, Lee's voice is heard as he yells, "Stop!"

  Renamon stops, and soon after, everyourns to look at the newer ahe figure of Lee with Terriermon by his side on top of a nearby slope making Takato excim, "It's you!"

  At the same time, Terriermon runs down the slope heading directly toward Renamon, making Ruki mutter, "Animon? Just how many Digimon came to this World? And how many Tamers there are?"

  Soon Terriermon arrives in front of Renamon and without aation it shamelessly asks, "You are strong. How long have you battled? you evolve already?"

  Lee follows after his Digimon Partner and calmly asks, "Terriermon, why are you asking those sorts of questions?"

  In respoerriermon replies in an easy-going toh an almost naughty grin on its face, "No reason. Hakuna Matata~!"

  Lee igerriermon's antid asks Ruki and Takato, "Why are you making yimon fight when you're both partners?"

  In respoo that question, Ruki quickly replies, "Don't ask stupid questions. It's because they're Digimon. Isn't that obvious?"

  Once again Lee tio ask as he seems tnize Ruki, "You live oher side of the train statiht?" then as Terriermon climbs up his body and hugs him, Lee adds, "But, how you sider... these creatures, who live here with us, as mere tools for battle?"

  Hearing that, Ruki bees a little more muted before she says, "Not you too... I don't get what you're asking. Renamo's go." and walks away with Renamon following behind her leaving behind only Lee, Takato, Guilmon, and Terriermon, and sooart to get to know each other better and bee friends as they search for a pce fuilmon.

  Seeing that, I nod and ent, "It seems that things are progressing well... Ruki is starting to doubt her attitude toward Renamon and imon. Takato and Guilmetting closer... And well, Lee is still unwilling to let Terriermon fight as he is still scarred by his previous experieh Digimon Battles... But overall, it seems that they are well on their way to being the Tamers that this universe needs."

  Once I firmed that, I simply walked away, returo my bike, and headed bae, on my way back, I sensed a couple of Digital Fields opening iy, but since V-mon, Patamon, and Wormmoually in the Saint Seiya Universe spending time with my kids, I simply decide to leave them to Nikita and Zandeer, so I use my Telephaty to tad warn them as I reach my home, especially since I have an appoi with my wife Saori as I promised her a romantic date in this universe, a date that if I py my cards right will end in a very happy and satisfying note for both of us.

  Nikita POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  After receiving Jayr's message, I and Zandeed decided to split up to deal with the possibility of feral Digimon while Jayr enjoyed his date with Saori.

  As I head toward the location of one of the Digital Fields that just opened with my cute Bluon beside me, I 't help but mutter, "I hope that the Digimon that Realized is one of the harmless ones..."

  In respoo that, Bluon quickly says, "Don't worry, Nikita. Even if we enter a feral Digimon, we will be easily able to deal with it. Together we are the stro!"

  Hearing that, I quickly grin, stop, and hug Bluon while rubbing my cheek on his snout and says, "Of course. My cute Bluon is the mightiest!" making him pout as it pins, "How many times I have to tell you, woman!? I'm cool! Not cute!"

  But at the same time, I also notice that while he has a frown on his fad his tone seems annoyed, his tail is actually swinging bad forth like a cute puppy showing its happiness, making me smirk while thinking, 'How fun~! I got a cute, tsundere Digimon~! I just love to tease him~!'

  Soon we arrive at our destination, a train yard enveloped in a thick fog, and from within the fog, the sound of something heavy crashing against aroyial objects be heard which makes me ent, "Well, it seems we got a feral..."

  After saying that, I don't hesitate and rush ihe fog with Bluon following behind me and what greets me oher side is the sight of a dinosaur-like Digimon resembling somewhat a rhinoceros as it runs around crashing aroying everything in its path.

  Its upper face is covered by bck armor that extends into bony frills with red stripes, its greyish build is armored on the back reag all the way to the tail with white bone armor on its stomach, its nose has a single rge horn, and has green eyes.

  Looking at that Digimon, I don't hesitate t up my D-Ark and use the Digimon Analyzer on it, and as soon as the proje of the Digimon's figure with its retive information appears, I start to read them out loud, "Monoon. Adult Level. An Ankylimon with a rhinoceros-like hrowing on its snout. As its huge hrows, it bees rge enough to at for half of its body length. The hard substance c a portion of its horn and half its body is as hard as a diamond, and it is said that there is nothing that ot be peed by this horn. Monoon be said to be a Digimon that excels in both offense and defe is herbivorous and has a retively docile personality, but o is angered, it will tio unleash terrifying terattacks from its heavy tank-like body. Its Special Move is a powerful fme shot (Volo Strike)."

  [colpse]Hearing what the Digimon Analyzer told us about our oppo, Bluon ents, "It is an Adult level, huh... It seems that we have to go all out this time." in response, I smile and ask, "That's right! Bluon, are you ready to finally bee an adult with big sister's help~?"
