Old Hangouts (Open)

[Impmon]

It seemed quite a while since he lurked these paths, terrorizing the couples taking advantage of the otherwise peaceful scenery. It had been all fun and games back then, and under the mindset he was under back then, he had believed they deserved it. Well, times changed, and he didn't do that stuff no more. Well, at least not nearly as often.

Tonight however, Impmon's hands were itchy, and and it was quite difficult to resist a good prank when the opportunity came. What harm was there in bringing a little excitement to the quiet boring night time park? "Hehheh..." Impmon snickered as he moved quietly through the trees.

He paused as he neared one of the statues in the park, he spotted his soon to be victims -- a pair of teenagers locked together underneath one of the nearby trees. "Bah, disgusting!" He remarked, climbing over to their tree, his movements masked by the wind moving the branches around.

Once in position, he lit a fire ball, sending it flying around the couple below him. The teens looked up from their kissing, eying the fireball as it slowly hovered around them. "BOO!" Impmon shouted, jumping out of the trees suddenly. The couple screamed and fled down the path, leaving Impmon laughing his head off.

[Shana Hitoehi]

Shana had been able to sneak out of the house with her new Digital Friend, Aruraumon. Ever since meeting her, Shana had been looking for a fight. She had played the Digimon video game for a while now, but now, she had a real Digimon. She could play for real. All she needed was a target, which was the reason she snuck out so late. It was already past 10 pm, although she didn't know the exact time. All that she did know was that it was time to find a Digimon to fight. She didn't care whether it was a tamer or a Digimon. She just wanted someone to entertain her.

"Shana... I smell a Digimon up ahead.. Aruraumon said. Quickly, Shana and Aruraumon began to run, Shana in front, as though she was somehow leading Aruraumon to the Digimon. It was then that she suddenly locked onto the Digimon. It was an Impmon.

"Go get him Aruraumon!"

Without warning, Aruraumon prepared her attack, placing her arms in front of her face. She was far enough away that Impmon probably wouldn't even see her, yet close enough for her attack to reach.

"Nemesis Ivy!" Aruraumon quickly extended her vine fingernails aiming to whip Impmon from behind. Shana stood behind Aruraumon with a grin of satisfaction... she could finally fight.

[Impmon]

Impmon was too busy laughing at the two fleeing teenagers, that he hadn't even notice the tamer and their digimon approach. That was until the tamer had called for her digimon to attack, and Impmon spun around. However, he didn't react fast enough, ending up getting a face full of vines. "Ack! HEY! What the blazes was that for? Sucker punching me like that! You out of your stupid puny mind?" The imp went off furiously, clearly not too pleased to be attacked out of the blue like that. "You want a battle? Then here we go, BA BOOM!" He shouted, hurling a ball of fire at the plant digimon.

[Shana Hitoehi]

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Shana laughed loudly. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time. Nothing had been making her happy recently, and the games she had used to play to keep her satisfied just weren't so fun anymore now that she had a real Digimon. This would be her first real battle, but she had been ready for it. She wanted to fight him, and she wanted to beat him. It wasn't anything personal, but it was just the law of Digimon. Digimon fight, that's what they're for... just like in the games.

"Aagh!" Aruraumon shouted after being hit in the stomach by Impmon's attack. Shana loved it. The Digimon were so real. Their screams were real! It was the best thing she had ever witnessed, but this was a serious game, and she wasn't about to lose.

"Don't scream Aruraumon! I'm going to send you back to Digiworld if you act like a wuss!"

[Impmon]

Impmon smirked as the Aruraumon was hit by his attack. This was going to be too easy! He'd send these two crawling back to whatever hole they popped out of in no time. However, something about the girl's lack of concern over her digimon's pain made him raise brow at the tamer. Then, what she said, took him completely by shock. "Pft! With a tamer like you, going back to the digital world would be a mercy! Pathetic!" He spat.

He then turned to the Aruraumon, but decided to hold back further attack for a moment. "Hey toots, you ain't seriously going along with this are yeh?" He asked, though he still kept his guard up in case she tried to attack again. "She's playing games with your life on the line, you're taking hits for her, and she doesn't even care about your pain! If you get hit, if your in pain, you have every right to scream without being threatened stupidly like that!" He went on. Of course, he didn't expect her to listen. Though maybe this girl might get a few points through her head and realize nothing good will come of abusing her partner.

[Shana Hitoehi]

"What are you talking about?! Aruraumon is my Digimon, and my Digimon has to do what I say! I'm her boss!" Shana shouted to Impmon as though he had offended her. She wasn't going to stand for him trying to brainwash herself or her partner. That was unacceptable. She had to show him that she was in control, and she had to make sure that Aruraumon wouldn't even second guess herself for a second. She had to move on... and quick!

She quickly pulled a Digimon card out of her pocket with a sadistic Green. She looked at the card for a moment, and held up her Digivice in her right hand. Then, she quickly swiped the card through her Digivice.

"Digimodify!" She said after swiping the card, "Gorillamon's Cannon Activate! I order you to destroy him Aruraumon!"

Instantaneously, Aruraumon's right arm began to morph into Gorillamon's cannon, giving her the offensive power of a Champion Level Digimon. It would be obvious now that she wasn't playing. Shana hoped to deal damage to this Digimon and she didn't plan to stop until after Impmon was on the ground begging for mercy. She wasn't even sure if she wanted his data yet, but she did want to see him squirm. She wanted to kick him as he lay rolling on the ground. She wanted to feel power and control.

Aruraumon held out her cannon, pointing it at Impmon. She held a serious expression, although she felt some empathy for Impmon. She didn't want to destroy him, but she could not go against Shana's wishes. If that was what she willed, Aruraumon felt that was what she had to comply to.

"Gorilla Cannon!" She screamed as a blast shot out of the cannon, speeding toward Gorillamon.

Name: DigiCannon
Duration: 2 Posts
Color: Gold
Effect: The Digimon who is modified by this card will have an arm/tail or some other body part transformed into Gorillamon's Cannon, or will altogether grow a limb for the cannon. This will allow the Digimon to use Gorillamon's Gorilla Cannon attack and fire a Champion Level blast from the cannon.

[Impmon]

Impmon shook his head sadly. Wow. Even Rika wasn't this pathetic. Eh, maybe she was. He couldn't recall, it was a long time ago. But they had similar issues too. Unfortunately they learned the hard way, ending up splitting. He recalled going Renamon coming to him for advice. What a day that was. For the past him anyways. He didn't recall all the details of their ordeal, something snapped and they split, but they obviously patched things up in the end. But things like that aren't always capable of being patched up.

"No she isn't, and no you aren't. You are going down a very bad road toots. I really suggest you get your head around it. She will care and care for you, and that's why she obeys you. But everyone has their boiling point." He shot back. "None of these bossy partnerships end well. I guarantee you two won't last the way you are going either." Now he was done reasoning with the two. Time to get this battle back on. Maybe he could do this digimon a favor and send her back to the digital world himself. Save this partnership the drama that was very likely to unfold. Unfortunately, past experiences that he didn't like to recall, prevented him from even just 'killing' a tamer's digimon. No, he wasn't going through that mess again. He was through with that. These two would just have to either figure things out on their own or let events run their course.

Impmon couldn't dodge the cannon blast, and was sent flying backward quite a few feet. He got back up though, but he was showing obvious signs of damage. Hmm... maybe getting this battle back on wouldn't be the greatest idea. "Well I'm done here. If you can find her though, it would be worth it for you to to talk to a girl called Rika, and her partner Renamon. They could give you some tips on how to become a real tamer." He advised, before making a run for it, fleeing into the bushes and out of sight. He wasn't going to hang around and let this incredibly misinformed tamer make digidust out of him when he knew very well he could never go that far with a tamer's digimon. Not again. Never again.

[Impmon OUT]

[Shana Hitoehi]

"Should I chase after him?... Aruraumon asked as she looked back to see her tamer. Shana stood there astonished by what had happened... In the game, digimon didn't run away. She wondered what the deal with that was. Was his programming faulty? Maybe he had a virus? It really didn't matter, what he had said bothered her. She stood there with Aruraumon, wondering what his deal was.

"No... Let that coward go. He won't last long with an attitude like that. He's a Digimon. If he doesn't fight, he will be destroyed, no doubt about it."

She wondered exactly who the tamer and person was who he had briefly mentioned before he left, but reasoned that that didn't matter either. All that mattered was the here and now, and since Rika and Renamon were not here right now, she could forget about them. She crossed her arms disturbed by him.

"We'll have to fight someone else."

[Enter Perris&Kotemon]


Perris had gotten out of the house again to get bread for his house....Soon or later he would have to stop getting bread. They already had enough bread to last them a week or two. But he had to escape from his grandfather's for awhile. He needed to relax a little. The good thing was that his grandfather acutally allowed Kotemon to stay with him. It seemed like his grandfather believed that she was a good omen.

Perris looked down at Kotemon with a smile, he had been happier than he usually was lately. He was still depressed at times....but not as much. It was all due to his partner Kotemon. She may not speak that much, but she was a good listener and a good keeper of secrets.

Perris saw a couple run past them with fear in their eyes and faces. Perris was truely intrested, there was no digital field or anything so it was all good.....well...It was until she saw a small digimon running away from a girl another digimon. He looked at Kotemon and said, "This could turn into trouble Kotemon...."

Kotemon gave a small nod and hid behind Perris just in case the girl were to look their way. Perris then turned towards the vegatation hoping to make it out without a battle...but if it came to it, he would fight to protect Kotemon...He would use all his knowledge.

[marik]

Something bizarre had happened today.

Free from his parents' forceful education regime, Marik now had considerably more free time to do as he pleased. Given this new freedom, he decided to get into whatever the first kids he found were doing. What were they doing? Playing with digimon cards. The kids were kind enough to give him a few of their extra cards to start him off. After that, he had rushed to the card store to buy himself a card reader, which he promptly took home.

He had swiped a few cards through to test it out. The first three cards had worked perfectly. Two digicannon cards and a speed card. The fourth however had unexpectedly turned completely blue, and had gotten jammed in the reader. "Oh come on. Its not broken already?" he said in dismay, trying to remove the blue card. If the card changing color wasn't odd, what occurred next certainly was.

The card reader and blue card both began to glow and change shape. When the light faded, a strange little device he had never encountered before was revealed. He gave the device a quick tap, testing to make sure it wasn't hot, figuring the thing would have to be super hot to change shape like that. Surprisingly though, it was as cool as his card reader had been. "That definitely doesn't happen every day, or... ever. Supposedly." He said, quite shocked by the occurrence.

He analyzed the device. It was relatively small little gadget, mostly white with a dark gold ring around its small circular screen, with two buttons below that matching the ring's color. From the top of it hung an orange strap. There was a split, very similar to the split on the card reader. Deciding he didn't really have much to lose, he decided to try swiping his speed card. The device's screen flashed as he swiped the card, but otherwise, nothing happened.

He then began fiddling with the buttons on the object, which caused a round holographic screen to pop up, with an arrow spinning around it. The arrow slowed down steadily, coming to a halt, pointing north west. Marik twisted the device around, but the arrow continued pointing north west. It was... a compass? A clunky hi-tech compass? Somehow, the trade for his card reader seemed a bit of a sham.

Looking at the clock, it was quite late now. But he had nothing much to do, and his parents likely wouldn't notice him gone. He was very curious as to what this thing was pointing at, and he knew he'd never get any sleep if he waited until morning. So he headed out into the night, running through the empty streets, heading to where the arrow pointed. He eventually reached Shinjuku park. As he went deeper and deeper into the park, the arrow became more an more sensitive, indicating he was getting closer to whatever it was pointing at.

The park was mostly deserted, save for a couple that had run away in the opposite direction, screaming their head off, as laughter could be heard in the distance. He proceeded regardless, though with a bit more caution. The arrow pointed into a cluster of trees. He picked his way between the trunks and over roots, occasionally tripping, until the arrow shifted to point behind him. Taking a few steps back, the arrow pointed forward again. Clearly, he had reached what the thing was pointed to. looking around, it didn't appear as if much was there. "What a jip." He muttered, about to turn back.

That was until he spotted even more interesting than the device. There was a girl there, with two... monsters? "Okay, now I must really be dreaming." He muttered, giving himself a sharp pinch, convinced that everything that happened since he scanned his fourth card through his card reader, was a dream. Because monsters weren't real. They were fictional.

Then again, the stuff in the news two years ago was pretty... realistic. However, since his home at the time was no where the supposed event took place, and there was no such thing as monsters, he had passed it off as some sort of hoax cooked up by the media for the sake of entertainment. But now he was seeing them with his own eyes, he was starting to have second thoughts. He listened in as the girl exchanged words with the purple monster while she sent the plant like monster to attack the purple monster. "How brutal." He muttered staring out at the scene.

"Agreed. The girl seems quite ignorant of the reality of her situation." A voice from behind him muttered. Marik spun around, to be faced with yet another beast. A long white and purple ferret like creature floating in the air, who's body colied around a gold canister. He backed into the tree he was infront of biting his lip, quite shocked by the creature's sudden appearance. "Wha-Who are you?" He demanded.

The creature just blinked solemnly. "My name is Kudamon. I'm a digimon, and if that digivice is yours, then you are my tamer." He responded simply. Marik blinked. Tamer? He glanced at the girl and the plant digimon. "Like her?" He inquired, unsure about it. If he was supposed to order his digimon around like some sort of 'boss' well... He couldn't do that. He'd never feel comfortable ordering people around.

Kudamon glanced at the tamer beyond the trees, and gave a soft chuckle. "She is... probably not the best example. Different tamers have different methods of training, and each treat their digimon differently. Some tamers treat their partners like slaves, such as this one, others treat them like friends and partners." He explained calmly. He seemed quite patient, which Marik was grateful for, considering his lack of experience with digimon all together.

Marik thought for a moment. This was probably the strangest thing ever to happen him, but his interest was certainly peaked. "I'd like to consider you a friend, if that is what you wish." He finally said. Kudamon smiled, and floated over to him to land on his shoulders, draping himself across his shoulders like some sort of elegant scarf. "I'd be very disappointed if you didn't."

Marik smiled, giving the Kudamon a rub behind his ears. "I guess we've been standing on the sidelines long enough." Marik concluded, and he stepped forward out of the trees. The purple digimon seemed to have taken off, leaving the girl and the plant digimon alone. "Hi there." He greeted, looking from the girl, to the digimon. "Use your digivice to identify her." Kudamon whispered, unnoticeable to the girl. Marik pulled out his digivice, and pointed it at the digimon. Aruraumon. Vegetation Digimon. He blinked quietly, pocketing the device promptly.
