Power to the Mind (Open)

[novaex]

Running was always a thrill in this park, one never knew what he would encounter nor what one would see. The perfect example of this was how Nova met Gaomon.

-----FlashBack-----

The park was wet with rain that night, sweet and cold rain. Nova's body reacted to every single drop of water that hit him, he was not muscular, so his blood vessels were not as numerous and therefore his body did not heat as fast nor did he have enough muscle to protect him from the freezing temperature of the rain. Yet he kept running, his body hair lifting as the rain continued to slam against his skin; his clothes stuck to his skin; his hair quieted down as the water made it stick together; his glasses stuck in his pocket as it was now impossible to see clearly with them on. Nova continued to run, running in the rain was exciting. Excitement that came from him knowing that his mom would get mad at him and he would probably end up sick.

After about fifteen minutes of jogging, Nova came upon a foggy area which was strange since he had just heard from his friend about fogs like this appearing during the middle of the day. Curious to see what was inside of the fog, Nova continued on his daily route. Soon he was on the outskirts of the fog, slowly penetrating the fog. The rain was lighter here, light enough that he could put his glasses back on. About ten minutes into the fog, Nova saw what he thought was impossible, lightning protruding from the ground. And on a closer look he saw a creature in the middle, he was on it's stomach but was getting up using it's hands. As Nova approached the creature, it got up on it's two legs and looked towards Nova. It's fighting stance was apparent, he looked like a mini-boxer fox/wolf thing. Nova did'nt know what to say to it, so he just kept quiet.

"Gaomon....." The creature told Nova raising one hand above his hand so as to form a handshake. Nova gladly accepted the hand and shook it, forming a bond they would both cherich. Nova finally spoke,"Nova....."

"I am a digimon......And you are a human?" Gaomon asked and answered taking his hand back so that he could circle Nova and investigate him. And while Gaomon was investigating Nova, Nova did the same to Gaomon except he watched as Gaomon circled him. They had accepted each other......

----Present Day----

This was the final lap, both of their breaths were very fast. Heartbeats were off the charts but they were both in sync. They were running together, Gaomon's ribbon's flailing in the night wind and Nova's Digivice bumping against his left leg with every stride he took. Everything was calm and relaxed here, the darkness brought with it a sense of calmness within the park, something that was missing during the day.

"Aw....A boy and his dog. Never was there a more purrr-fect bond..."

The voice came from a nearby tree, its two blue eyes staring at the duo as they continued their trek around the park. While she really couldn't understand why such a thing could be considered fun, the digimon reminded herself that dogs were, if anything idiots.



"Never could get me to act like that around. I prefer to keep myself and my pride intact..."

[novaex]

"Huh?!" Gaomon detected that something was wrong, he could tell that there was somebody behind them,"Nova......something smells funny......" His voice had the depth of an adult human even though he was barely Nova's height. Gaomon protruded a maturity that was beyond most teens, a maturity that Nova could relate to.

"Really?! Probably just a stinkbug." Nova said stopping only a few feet away from Gaomon, his breath was normal for the trek they had just taken. Nova looked around to see whether he could notice what Gaomon was smelling. Dogs did have a very good sense of smell but if there weren't any stink bugs in the digital world then how would Gaomon be able to tell the difference between what was weird and what wasn't weird?

Gaomon was not content with Nova's response, his instincts told him that there was danger around or at the very least something unusual was around. Gaomon did not like to fight but for some reason he felt his blood rushing, his hair on its edges, and his focus very stern. He was ready to fight even if his mind wasn't.

"It might be wise to listen to Rover. It could save your life human..."

With that, a white figure jumped from its hiding place within the tree branches, flipping in the air before landing gracefully on her feet before them. The feline giggled as she held her paw close to her mouth as she looked at the blue dog, shaking her head. Was this really what this world offered her? Here she thought that the humans would pose more of a challenge than rookie digimon.

"Well, this is alittle disappointing. I mean, I was looking for a opponent who was at least alittle taller, not a puppy with kid gloves..."

Gatomon then let her arms cross her chest as she smirked towards the duo, allowing one of her sharp fangs to show outside her mouth. Then, she sighed while a calm expression came over her face.

"Oh well, I guess I shouldn't have put my hopes up too high. After all, you humans do tend to find the weak ones more easily..."

[novaex]

"Weakness should not......."Gaomon began to answer before being interrupted by Nova,"Gaomon you don't need to respond, she does not know our strength......." Never before had Gaomon been so impressed by anyone, especially a human. Gaomon didn't care much for fighting but digimon by nature were very violent creatures though Gaomon was above that.

Nova knew that Gaomon was getting a bit upset and he didn't Gaomon to rush into the fight without knowing his opponent. Nova was not a fighter but he knew what it meant to fight and he knew that knowing the opponent would change everything. Nova went down on one knee, he was eye level with Gaomon. He simply put his hand on Gaomon's shoulder to let him know that he was there for Gaomon.

"Judge me not by my size as you are not much taller than me cat!" Gaomon exclaimed swiping his hand in a very distinct fashion towards the sky. It was his symbol, Gaomon always did that when he wanted to make a point. But this time he was making a stand. Gaomon's blood was rushing through him from all of the jogging they had done, his vision was perfect, and he was ready for anything, even a cat that was a foot taller than him.

"Blah blah blah...How about less conversation huh?"

The feline frowned as she allowed her large eyes to roll upwards for a moment, then letting them return to their normal position. While she would love to continue to tease them and get away with it, the night was quickly drawing to an end. This would mean that humans would soon appear by the numbers, and she couldn't wait intill later to find another digimon.

"So come on...prove me wrong than Gaomon?If you are a fighter, than you know thats the only way ng to back up your claim!"

Gatomon then got into a fighting stance, lifting one claw close to her face for a guard,while leaving the other extended for an attack.

[novaex]

"Gaomon it's up to you........Whatever you do I'm here for you!" Nova said getting back up. He shuffled through his pockets to find the three cards that he had picked up off of the ground near the benches on the center of the park. After a brief moment of examining the cards, Nova unsheated his digivice from a belt loop and stood with it in his right hand. If Gaomon was going into battle, he was going prepared

Gaomon took a big breath and out his hands to his sides, positioned to allow him to run better,"Kitty, if you wish to fight.......then defeated you will be!" His passive nature was wearing off and his digimon sense and ability to fight was kicking in. Nothing was going to stop him, nothing!

(Writer's block sorry)

[[NPC]admin]

The Gatomon smirked as she knew she was starting to somewhat get to the digimon, which was exactly what she wanted. What fun would it be to fight a creature that was such a bore? A tool? If anything, a pet would be the worst thing to say about a fellow digimon, but that was what he looked like. Scratch that, he was a pet.

The feline purred as she jumped into the air, pulling her paw back as she sent it down upon the Gaomon.

(Its ok, it happens XD)

[novaex]

Gaomon was not one for talking, his words were his actions. Unlike the cat that was now jumping towards him, he was not irrational; his time in the human world with Nova had taught him to settle down his anger and his digimon instinct to fight and thus let go of the urge to rush into battle. All Gaomon had to do was walk a couple of steps forward and jump up to grab Gatomon's foot and send her hurling towards the ground with all of Gaomon's strength. His gloves helped him prevent any burn that may have been caused if he wasn't wearing them.

Nova saw Gaomon fight for the first time and was excited for his digimon friend. Nova was tense from the battle, he didn't know what kind of fight Gaomon had in him but Nova trusted his friend and would be there for him. "Yes Gaomon!" Nova shouted from a safe distance of the battle

This had surprised the Gatomon greatly, especially once she felt the Gaomon's grip upon her foot. Then, came the eye opening slam to the ground, which really awoke her from her shock. Quickly regaining her stature, the feline hissed as she rolled up to her feet. Perhaps, this was going to be more difficult than she had previously thought.

"Lucky mutt! That really hurt you know!?"

Rubbing the back of her head, the champion digimon frowned as she quickly shook what appeared to be a tear from her eye as she glared towards the Gaomon. She then prepared herself for another attack, trying to decide how best to go about this situation.
