a midnight walk -open-

[Ryo]

Ryo sighed as he slept he had always been restless since he had first gone to the Digital world. It was the same dream that it always was when he was fighting Milleneumon with Ken. The spore had been meant for him and Ken had jumped in the way at the last moment. Every time though Ken was now becoming Cyberdramon and he was powerless to help his partner as the Digimon was taken by the darkness. In the end becoming his worst nightmare Milleneumon reborn. Sweat was pouring down the teenagers face as his Digivice had started to beep in the dream. It got so loud he sat up and hit his head cursing as he looked around and hearing the beeping still he frowned “can it be?” he asked and got out of bed. The Digivice had been dead for two years ever since the partners had been taken back to their home world. Opening the drawer he looked inside and sure enough the light was enough to make him frown “it cant hurt to check it out” he said and rested his hand against his mouth stifling a yawn as he took out his cards and Digivice.

Changing into his normal cloths he left a note for his family saying he would be back. They knew about the Digimon and had long ago become used to their son being out and away even though they hated when he did not come home. Clipping his things to his belt he walked down the hall and looked inside his parents room they were asleep “I will be home soon” he said quietly and then closed the door. He wondered if maybe this was just a false alert on the Digivices part having given up on the others coming back after a few months. The fact was that he was heart broken over the loss of the partners which included his own partner for years in Moondramon. Leaving his house he wandered down the street following the signal that his digivice was giving off. Even now he could see the mist that came with Digimon coming a smile coming to his lips “come on buddy be here” he said softly as he walked into the mist. His face was hard to read as he looked around “Moondramon come on buddy I need you” he called out his voice hopeful. He hoped that his dream was not something that was bound to happen now a small shudder coming through his young body.

It was not normal for him to show fear as he had faced it all a god…and a program that had almost swallowed everything that they loved up in the end. The fact was that the dream had unnerved him as the thoughts of his past had come rushing back to him. The others did not know it but if they were to face the same foe even when they were at their best they would barely stand a chance. Shaking his head he looked around for any sign of his partner or anything else. Taking out his digivice he looked at the screen and cursed the Digimon should be here but where? He had no idea and it was bothering him to death right now. Making a mental note to call the others when the morning came to see if the same was happening he started to move out of the mist. That was when he heard something and his head snapped around as he glanced into the mist which had become so thick that he could barely see into it. As he watched only one word could come from his mouth at the moment “crap” he muttered already guessing it was not his partner who was coming out.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Whatever was slowly emerging from the portal sure as hell was heavy. It's steps were making the ground tremble as it approached. And the boy could see from the portal that opened in front of him just how HUGE that thing was. At least 3 meters tall, if not more, made entirely out of solid rock, fists the size of small personal vehicles, and a dull, somewhat stupid face expression of the stone giant were hinting only one possible explanation on what it possibly might be. Golemon, in the flesh, or ... err, rock.



- Me Golemon... - the digimon introduced himself in broken english, as he looked down upon the small kid that was right in front of him. It seems that this one did not came to this world by accident, but on purpose, with some agenda to follow. Whatever kind of agenda such seemingly dull creature can possibly have. - Me strong. - he said proudly and made a chest bump. The sound of a heavy hit of rock against rock was rather threatening.

- Me wants stronger. Me seeks a tamer. You? - the digimon asked somewhat curiously, though you could barely figure that out because of the low, rumbling voice, as he rose his huge hand and pointed his stony finger right at the kid, barely inches away from his face...

[Ryo]

Ryo froze when he heard what was coming yea that was not Moondramon or he had gone through a very big growth spurt in the past two years it seemed. His hand reached to his pocket where his cards were but then he remembered that they were useless without a partner. Instead though he slowly gave himself some room even he knew he would be crushed by that big Digimon if he wanted to “down boy” he said calmly his voice steady. In the past he would have Moondramon by his side and they would be okay but now he was alone and on his own and he was worried about it. How would he get out of this without being crushed he had no idea. Pointing his digivice at Golemon he got the info needed and sighed “a champion just great” he muttered. It couldn’t be a rookie where he would have a easier time here nooooooooo he had to get a champion digimon and one that was huge compared to him in the long run.

He listened as he spoke and said he was strong and wanted a tamer now it made sense he thought “you don’t want me Golemon trust me I am nothing but trouble” he said and frowned “I have figured that out over the years that I end up causing my friends” he said calmly. Now he needed to damage control he thought as he walked forward “there are plenty of humans around here big guy I bet you will find a really good tamer who will make you really strong” he said and smiled lightly. He would not give up on Moondramon even if this champion was interesting “I wish you well in your search Golemon” he said and smiled slightly before giving himself more room. He hoped that it would be enough he was not in a mood to be in a fight right now and the Digimon seemed to be harmless at this point having good motives. Most Digimon wanted to have a partner it seemed and he could not blame them the bond between two could be the best bonding in the world he had felt that first hand.

He could not help but wonder if the Digimon were coming back now partner wise. This was one of the best signs that he had seen since they had left the area. Taking a breath he sighed quietly “just remember to be nice to the human show them that you are a good Digimon and they will become your partner I am sure of it” he said and smiled slightly at the champion digimon. He hoped this one would find a good partner that they deserved “and don’t squash any of them it looks really bad” he suggested softly. It was the best advice that he could give he just hoped the Digimon would listen to him about things right now. He didn’t have much experience with humans and hopefully a tamers advice would find him a partner where he would be happy “I should get going I wish you well Golemon” he said and smiled slightly at the big Digimon.

- Oh... um... grm... Okay. If you say so. Me seeks new guy. - the golemon grumbled in confusion. The kid was not afraid of him, which was strange, considering how big he was, and knew what he was talking about. He would have made a great tamer for him? Why did he say he was trouble? Golemon's feeble mind was not able to comprehend so much without asking questions, even if they were too obvious to answer.

- Why you trouble? - the big stony digimon asked and scratched his head, small stones falling off of it in process. He looked at the kid again, being unsure. Maybe convincing would work better? The golemon was not afraid of any trouble. - You sure? I strong. I smash trouble. To pieces. - he said confidently and hit both his giant fists against the ground, making the ground tremble and a car alarm set off somewhere away... he indeed was strong. But strong enough to handle what was coming to him?

And trouble was coming alright. 3 black vans of it to be exact. The spawning sequence was locked on by one of the Hypnos tracking radars. Program set to eliminate the thread before it could materialize failed to work, so they had to use more ... conventional methods to eliminate the thread... The black trucks soon emerged from around the corner, blocking the wide road quite completely. Hatches opened as soon as they stopped, and black-clad figures started emerging from it. Armed.

- Who weird guys are? They tamers? - the ogremon asked, being gullible, even though the "weird guys brought several rocket launchers around to deal with "heavily armored problems". The poor digimon never really was that bright...

[Ryo]

Ryo listened to him and gave a nod rubbing his arm “I am sure big guy I am a tamer yes but I have a digimon” he said softly his voice soft as he sighed softly “I have had trouble in the past big ones that even you would have trouble with” he said quietly. He gently rubbed the rock digimon’s arm “there are a lot of humans around here you will find someone” he said and backed away before he started to smash the ground and set off car alarms “calm down big guy” he said gently “you will scare the other tamers away” he said and frowned hearing the car alarms. He wondered what would be coming as he frowned “get out of here now and lay low” he said calmly “hide and do not let people see you” he said quickly. That was when the black vans came into view “oh crap” he muttered deciding to do something with quick thinking he guessed who this was “Hypnos back off” he snapped at them and took out his D arc “do you know what this means? It means I am a tamer and this is my digimon” he snapped at them and stood in front of Golemon “get down” he said quietly to the large digimon hoping it would play along “not tamers bad” he said quietly “let me do the talking“ he said quietly before the others were close enough to hear them.

He watched the group and frowned he hoped that they would not recognize him “you do not hurt tamer Digimon as such this one is safe” he said calmly. Debating he thought things over “my name is Arata I came here and found him as MY partner I apologize for the mess that he has caused it will not happen again” he said calmly. He stood in front of the guns and swallowed “I promise he will not cause anymore trouble to the area and I will make sure that he is kept where he will not be seen by the public” he said and glared at them. He knew it was a chance and that he had to take right now resting his hand on Golemon’s long one he frowned “you do not take down Tamer digimon so I ask that you leave me be with my new Digimon I am sure your higher ups would not want to find out you took down an innocent digimon who just found his tamer…who would SING to the media about how you killed a living being in cold blood that would not hurt anyone” he said a cold smile on his face.

He had heard of these people from the others the fact was they did seem to have picked up on their…advances “I ask to talk with your squadron leader in peace talks…do not him my partner while we talk is all I ask this is a misunderstanding” he said calmly. He looked at the digimon that he had grown to like in such a short amount of time. The risks of this was bad and he made a note to talk to the tamers about it “or would you like people to know you have guns pointed at a teenager who is unarmed and innocent and just trying to help adjust his new partner to his new home world?” he asked and watched for any leader to step forward to talk. He prayed that this was the stupid ones that would not recognize who he was at the moment. He rested his hands inside of his pockets as he still stood in front of Golemon to blast him it would catch Ryo in the cross fire. Reaching out he stroked the digimon’s arm “relax big guy its okay” he said quietly.

No vocal reply came out from the group of troops as the boy spoke. An eerie silence went for a couple of seconds, as if they were analyzing what the kid just said. Golemon did not move - he simply did not understand what was going on. These puny humans did not look like much of a thread to him, nor did their funny-looking weapons. Was the kid serious about them harming him? The digimon just didn't know how destructive human weapons can get...

Then, some movement was seen among the ranks, as several troops went on forward. One of them wore a badge, probably he was the commander of the squad that moved in to intercept. His face, just like face of any other hypnos trooper, was hidden behind a visor mask, only oculars, glowing with dim red were considered "eyes". Nightvision perhaps?

- Media is under our control. Nobody would ever believe you even if we'd maim and dismember you. - that was a very cold statement, borderlining with threat. However, it wasn't - it was simply a statement of a fact. - We're here to fight monsters, not children however. Keep your animal on the leash, and stay out of our way. These bastards kill more people per day than all criminals in the city combined. Let's go guys, this one is "tamed". - he finally finished, and gave a sign for the rest of the troops to buckle up...

[Ryo]

Ryo frowned as he watched them his eyes cold as he stared at the one that came through and pocketed his digivice. They had fallen for it “you don’t scare me” he said and rolled his eyes. This man had shock troops but he had seen a lot worse “come on Golemon ” he said and gently patted the Digimon’s side. He made a mental note to talk with the other tamers when he had the chance. He hated this Hypnos and the threats had been real yes it was something they needed to know what was going on. Closing his eyes he sighed “we have to get you to safety…they would kill you with what they had” he said quietly “those weapons would tare any digimon apart pretty much and he knew it” he said a low growl rising in his throat as he pocketed his D arc. He had heard of a place awhile back somewhere in the forest where he would be safe with other digimon. Closing his eyes he sighed quietly and glanced back not seeing anyone following he placed his hand on Golemon’s side “humans can be good or bad…those were really bad ones” he said quietly.

He had to admit that he was glad to have met the big digimon “we can be friends if you want ” he offered and smiled at him. It was a good offer as he knew that his hands would be full now with things. That was when he heard something coming and frowned “hold on we have company ” he said and looked around him and frowned that was when he heard it again. Great someone had followed him he thought as he wished that they would just show themselves “I hear you may as well come out ” he said. That was when he saw something step out of the shadows and a grin came to his face “Monodramon” he said and rushed over and hugged the digimon. A big grin was on his face “god have I missed you buddy ” he said and stroking his head and grinned “its okay Golemon he is my friend” he called out. The two reunited as he walked over and nodded “come on” he said quietly. Walking away from the trouble he paused “this is my real partner Monodramon we have been together for years” he said and smiled.

The D arc had come back to life now as he paused “we need to find you someplace better to stay” he suggested thinking things over. Monodramon looked up and paused “what about where Guilmon used to stay?” he asked calmly as he bounded up and down on his heels. He could see that Ryo had just been helping out the Digimon. At first he had been jealous thinking his tamer had moved on before he could get back “maybe we will try in the morning but first he needs somewhere for the night” he said and yawned as he rubbed Monodramon’s head as they walked. He had not felt this happy in almost two years and it showed in his eyes. Closing his eyes he sighed “I promise I will do whatever I can to find you a partner Golemon” he told the big digimon a half smile on his face. He was a good Digimon and he would do whatever he could to help the big champion digimon out in the long run. He deserved that much as he seemed to be a really good digimon and he hoped he would find what he wanted in life.
