Digimoon-Part 2

Alex trekked through the trees as grass and twigs were crunched up beneath his sneakers in the search for his friend. "Owen!" he called out into the wilderness as he moved on. "Owen you out here?" He was really desperate to find his buddy. They both were like two peas in a pod when it comes to anything video game related. You can't have one without the other. It's how it's been, and it's how it'll always will be. When both of them got into any video game competitions that are being held in town, Alex and Owen participated and always won first prize. Looking back on it, the onyx haired boy thought they both got carried away in those contests.

He was resuming his search for the dirty blond for about a few minutes when he noticed something on one of the trees. Walking closer to the spot, the gamer couldn't help but squirm a little as he saw what looked like blood. Putting a hand on the splotch of blood to make sure it's real, then taking it off before inspecting it and rubbing his fingers to get the feel of it, Alex shone his flashlight on the splotch to get all the details. Almost instantly he noticed a line of blood coming down the tree and into the grass. Alex followed the trail of blood that seems to have gotten a little thinner and thinner until he stops upon hearing some sort of, crunching sound.

Tiptoeing as quietly as he could, Alex resumed following the trail of blood while simultaneously searching for that sound. He reached a bush that had that crunching sound on the other side. Carefully pulling back the bush to look through the other side, what the boy saw froze him to the core of his being.

Owen’s body was sprawled on the grass, with blood and organs splattered all over the floor. On top of the body were some odd creatures of varying shapes and sizes. 5 of them to be precise. (Alex counted all of them.) And they were eating the dirty blond boy as he lies there, mutilated from whatever these “things” did to him. The scene he’s witnessing is like something out of either a horror game or a horror movie. Probably both for all he cares. Whatever these monsters are though, they sure are having their sweet time in their little feast. Makes the gamer want to puke out his guts if he keeps seeing this any longer.

He backed away as quietly as he could, hoping to find the others so that he could tell them what he saw. But before he could get any further than 6 inches, a twig was unfortunately in the footpath. The onyx boy didn’t notice that twig until he heard the loud SNAP beneath him, and by then it was too late. As soon as all 5 of those things lifted their heads to his direction, Alex knew he was screwed. So he did what any other rational person would do. He ran. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him. After getting about 30 feet away from those monsters, the gamer turned around to see if they were chasing him. Seeing nothing coming his way, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued on his way to find the others.

Only for those same creatures that attacked and devoured his friend to stand right in front of him. He was scared on the level that he fell on his butt and landed on the grass. 'How did they-' he thought to himself, scared out of his mind by the suddenness of the situation going from bad to worse. 'How did they get behind me so fast??' He dragged himself away from these monsters he's dealing with before his back hit a log. The onyx haired boy was scared out of his mind right now, considering that he's surrounded on all sides. He tried to scream for help, but before he could one of the monsters suddenly dug one of its’ three claws into his throat, severely damaging the larynx. "Tsk tsk tsk," the monster said after removing its’ claw from Alex's neck. "You honestly expect us to let you give away our location? Can't have that now can we guys?" The other four shadow covered monsters nodded in agreement while smiling in a bloodthirsty way.

That same shady creature that plunged its claw into his throat slashed through his stomach next. As his intestines are coming out of him slowly, Alex is trying to scream but couldn’t due to the injury in his neck. The gamer tried to get the walkie-talkie on to get the others’ attention, but at the same time hoped that the feline-rabbit hybrid thing wouldn’t notice what he’s doing. Unfortunately for the boy, it did. The quadrupedal looking monster dug into the pocket his hand was in, and brought out the walkie-talkie. “Well, well, well,” the feline-rabbit hybrid said. “Seems like somebody was gonna call for some little help.” All five of the still dark covered monsters laughed in a mocking way to the human boy. “Is this human serious Gazimon?” one of the bigger creatures asked to the now named Gazimon. “He just gave us an opportunity of getting more meals for us.” Hearing this, the gamer’s eyes widened while screaming in his head, ‘I did what?? Oh no. The others!’ Crawling backwards a bit before stopping due to the amount of agonizing pain from being ripped apart by Gazimon, Alex suddenly had a shadow over his face. Looking up to see the muzzle of Gazimon, grinning a toothy grin blotched with bits of blood from eating Owen earlier.

“Now where do you think you’re going?” the little feline-hybrid said. “We’re just getting started on our second course. YOU!!” Gazimon was the first of the monsters to devour the boy. He started by tearing off the boy's face, blood splattering all over the grass, and soon the others followed by tearing at different parts of the body. One of them tore off Alex's right leg using its' teeth, and wholeheartedly dived into it upon the bones and muscles connecting said limb with the body getting completely torn to shreds. Another did the same thing with the left arm as well. It was a gorefest right here, and it only got worse for Alex when his walkie-talkie went off.

"Alex...Alex are you there?" the voice of Luke came out. "Where are you? If you can hear me, please respond man." It brought the attention of the monsters as they were in the middle of their feast while Alex's life is fading. "Some humans should know when to not interrupt somebody when they're eating. Is that too much to ask?" One of the monsters said as it was busy with some bits of small intestines it's holding.

The monster in question resembled a monkey. It had dark brown fur with peach colored skin without the fur in the facial area and white fur on the tail. He (revealed to be male) is wearing a pair of white colored Kung Fu style pants and lavender/grey colored armor to cover the torso. Said armor is patterned with golden colored swirls and lines all over it. The gloves on his hands have the same exact style as the armor. Wears also a pair of purple and gold shoes, along with a purple and gold hat with the Japanese kanji for "Monkey" on it in ebony. He goes by the name Makuramon, and he happens to be one that does like not to be interrupted when he's in the middle of something he's doing.

“Oh calm down Makuramon, it’s just a little call. Nothing else,” Gazimon assured him. “Take a chill pill, alright?” The response he got though, came in the form of a glare sent his way. When a glare from the monkey Deva was sent your way, it’s a tell-tale sign for you to shut up before something bad happens to you. Last time somebody didn’t get the warning, they ended having a barrage of his “Treasure Ball” attack hurled at them before being crushed until they were as flat as a piece of paper. The Deva also had a sadistic streak to him, since he always has a video camera to record what he does to anybody that ticks him off. Gazimon was downright disturbed at this when he was shown a recording of that same person being crushed.

Shuddering at the memory just brought up, the little standing quadruped decided to smartly zip it before he ends up becoming a star on one of the Deva’s latest torture films. Grinning in satisfaction upon his point getting across, the monkey monster stood up and walked over to Alex, whistling nonchalantly. As he stood next to the boy’s terrified head, he was contemplating on what to do before suddenly stomping on his head real hard. It happened so fast for anybody that saw, but apparently the Deva used an extreme amount of force to crush the human’s head like a watermelon, destroying the skull and reducing the brain to a pile of mush. “I heard that video games can rot your brain, but this is ridiculous.” Makuramon joked before laughing like a monkey after bashing his target to submission.

Everybody else witnessed what the Deva had done, horrified. "W-w-what the-" the monster biting into the left arm stuttered when he broke the silence. "What in the name of the Four Sovereigns did you do that for?" "Just felt like it." the Deva responded with a cheeky grin. It covered the streak of bloodlust he hid well enough to make him seem innocent. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be at their little campgrounds. I plan on getting another recruit for us, you know. After all, we need our kind to expand more." And with that said, the monkey Deva sped out of there leaving a trail of dust in the process.

Jaws still gaping open moments after seeing their companion run off like that, the other four strange creatures were concentrating their gaze onto the walkie-talkie, still on mind you, as the voice of their prey's friend was getting desperate for a response. But unfortunately that wouldn't happen since the monkey Deva with them reduced the boy's head to a pulp. Gazimon, since he's the one holding it, turns it off and puts it on the ground next to the remains of the human boy. "Where exactly are the Gato twins by the way?" he asked to the other three monsters. "They should be with us when we got here from the Digital World."

Shrugging in response, they all probably shouldn't dwell on the subject around those two. Out of all the 7 of the Digimon in the group (which is what these creatures, Gazimon and Makuramon are), Gatomon and BlackGatomon are the more troublesome.  The two sisters have been thieves from their hometown in the Digital World before they joined in the group due to a certain mark that their special kind of Digimon have. Said certain mark resembles the head of a wolf, and it can be very hidden by the Digimon bearing it. Whoever sees it out of its' hiding place knows there's going to be trouble. Big trouble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of said twins, they were in the trees watching the girls below them. Both Digimon resemble moderately big cats with light purple tipped ears ending with three points. Their tails are striped the same light purple color, with the tip of the tail ending in three points like their ears. Their fur, eyes, and paw-like gloves are different. Gatomon's fur is white, her eyes are blue, and her gloves are yellow. BlackGatomon, her twin sister, has black fur, she has yellow eyes, and her gloves are dark purplish.

The Gato twins had what someone would call, a rather harsh life in the part of the Digital World they lived in. Both have had their family killed and deleted right in front of their eyes when they were young. Neither of them knew how it happened, but the BlackTyrannomon just came out of nowhere and destroyed everything on their family's property. Their parents were a Neferitimon for the mother and an Anubismon for the father. Both parents tried all their might to give their children enough time to escape, but unfortunately it came at a terrible price. Another BlackTyrannomon attacked them from the side, severely wounding them despite their level of power. The parents didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to their daughters.

Nobody deserves to witness something so sudden, and traumatizing as what these two little kittens had seen. Especially at such a young age. Seeing to it that they respect their parents' wishes, the twins ran as fast as they could to the nearest town. That's where things gone from bad to worse almost instantly. When they reached town, nearly every single store, inn, and even the local bar threw them out the moment they stepped in. The owners didn't have time for, as they said, "stupid little brats." So they were forced to live on the streets with only each other to keep them company. BlackGatomon was the one that decided that they resort to stealing in order to survive. Gatomon reluctantly followed her twin's lead, as she knew that there was no other choice at the moment.

As they went and got their paws on food and other things, the twins also began looking for a place to live for a while. This life they were living lasted for a few years before they came across one of the members they were going to be in. Assuming that the Makuramon was just like everybody else, the girls quietly tried to reach into his pockets to check for any money, food, or perhaps both. However, they were both caught by surprise when the monkey Deva grabbed hold of their paws without even turning to them. Makuramon was impressed at their stealth and thieving skills, and wanted them to come along with him. Shocked that they were given this choice from somebody they tried to steal from, and that same someone having a mark similar to the ones on their paws covered by their gloves, the Gato twins instantly felt like they belonged and agreed wholeheartedly.

Having no regrets on their decision, Gatomon and BlackGatomon have met their soon-to-be friends who in turn greeted them casually. A week after joining, these mischievous kittens started showing their somewhat troublesome behavior when Gazimon was giving the old-fashioned ‘woopie cushion’ prank. The feline-rabbit hybrid was blushing in embarrassment before chasing them around the place for over an hour. Everybody else thought it was amusing and hilarious, since they needed a little lightening up in the mood. Of course the twin kittens, as the curious puffs of fur they are, also get into rather peculiar and reckless situations. Despite that they do manage to get themselves out of trouble as quickly as they get into it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now we see them spying on the human girls staying next to each other as they continued their search for their friend. Hopping from tree branch to tree branch expertly, the mischievous cat-like Digimon were listening in on the girls’ conversation. “Can’t believe we’re looking for Owen of all people,” Jill said to Mary in an annoyed tone. “How do we know this isn’t a prank he’s just pulling on us right now?” “If this was a prank Jill, we wouldn’t be out here so far from camp looking for him, you know?” Mary responded. “Yeah but still,” the 10-year old girl said to her friend. “I can take a joke from Owen, but this time he’s gone way too far!” She then shouted in the woods around them. “You hear me Owen? You can’t scare me this way! Come on out so I can pound ya where it hurts! I mean it!” ‘Somebody’s acting like they got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning,’ was the thought the Gato twins had at once while sweatdropping. Deadpan expression on their faces to boost.

"Calm down Jill. Don't get things more bothersome than they are," the ponytail haired girl said to Jill. "Besides, for all we know he could just be back at the campsite and the scream we heard was probably somebody falling out of a tree due to some clumsy act they did." Face planting on the dirt ground, the ginger-headed girl then got up and brought out her walkie-talkie to inform Luke about the progress of their search. "Luke, you there?" she said as she pressed the button for communicating. "Can you hear me?" "Loud and clear Jill," his voice on the other end came out. "What's the status on your part?" "We didn't find anything that might tell us where Owen is, so we're going to have to continue." responded the ginger. "If neither of us have any leads as to the guy's whereabouts, we'll go back to the campsite. Got that?" "Yep." As she turned off her walkie-talkie to save the battery power, Jill turned to the only other girl in the group and they both trekked a little deeper into the woods.

“Got any ideas cooking up in your head,” Gatomon asked her twin in a low volume. “Nope. Not at the moment,” was the response from the darker of the two. Nodded in understanding, the twin Digimon resumed tailing (no pun intended) the human girls like they did before. Hopping from branch to branch, the Gato twins were talking about how excited they are to be in the Human World. “Sure is great that we get to be somewhere new for a change,” the lighter of the two whispered. “Yeah. Sure is,” responded BlackGatomon in the same excited, yet quiet tone. “The Digital World was started to get a bit boring before we came here. Why exactly are we even here again?” “To turn some humans into more of us. Duh,” her sister responded. Giggling at the thought of having more friends in a somewhat creepy tone, now all the two kittens are gonna do is just follow the two human girls for now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 10 more minutes of searching for their friend, the girls have called it quits for the rest of the night since there have been absolutely NO possible leads as to where Owen is. Upon turning around towards the direction of the campsite however, they came across something rather unexpected and...cute. Perching on top of a tree branch above them were two of the cutest cats the girls have ever seen in their life. One of them was white with blue eyes, the other black with yellow eyes. They seem to be wearing gloves for their front paws, colors differing for each of them. Overall the two cats put on the cutest expression possible for a cat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing that the two humans have decided to take a break in their search, the twins came up with an idea to acting like the cute kittens they are. Wouldn’t be that much of a problem considering that they’re both naturals at it. The moment the girls turned around to their direction, all the Gato twins had to do was simply perch up there on the tree branch and put on the cutest expression they ever conjured up. If they were to top it off with anything else, the twins would simply let out a cute meow, and the cuteness level would sky rocket a bit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well what do you know,” Jill said in a happy tone, then asked her friend. “What do you suppose that these two cuties are doing way out here?” Shrugging her shoulders in response, since she doesn’t know the reason either, Mary walked up to the tree where the kittens are perching on the branch hanging above them. Out of the two girls, Mary was an expert climber. Came in handy considering that she came from a family of climbers that also have an extreme-seeking tendency. Sadly though, both of her parents passed away due to a loose cable on one of their family trips. Both of them landed on sharp rocks right below where they were climbing to add insult to the injury inflicted. That was 4 years ago, and since then she's been living with her grandparents who gladly took her in.

"Come on little kitties," she said to the cats while wrapping her legs around the branch when she climbed on it. The 11-year old was slowly stretching out her hand to the cats when all of a sudden the branch bearing the weight of all 3 of the occupants snapped and broke. Luckily Jill was there to catch her friend to break her fall. As for the two cats, they simply used their cat-like reflexes to land themselves safely. "You okay," Jill asked to her friend after catching her breath. "Y-yeah, I am," Mary said shakily.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither of the twins were prepared for dealing with a peculiar human like the girl that started to climb up the tree they were on. They even feel a bit sorry for her when they searched through her memories unbeknownst to the girl with that special power their kind of Digimon have. Even they were caught off guard by the branch they were on suddenly breaking like the human girl trying to beckon them to her. The Gato twins, like the cat-like Digimon they are, used their reflexes to land safely on the ground. Seeing that they were okay, Gatomon and BlackGatomon turned to see the girl to be alright, albeit a little shaken from the branch snapping. Humans really are unpredictable beings. After a few seconds of catching a few breathers, the twins walked cat-like over to the girls.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“What in the world just happened right now?” Jill asked Mary. “No idea,” she responded. “One moment the branch was fine, the next it just…snapped on me. Was I really that heavy? Knew I should’ve laid off the munchies before we got here!” “Calm down Mary,” Jill said in a reassuring tone. “It wasn’t the munchies nor were you heavy. The tree probably was a bit old and fragile, that’s all. Don’t get your panties all up in a bunch girl.” “Ha ha ha. Very funny,” the climber said sarcastically. The response from Jill was showing her tongue in a childish fashion. Both of them saw the kittens walk over to them watching with cute big eyes. “Now what would you two be doing out here all alone,” the 10-year old girl said to the kittens. The response she got was a “meow” though. That, however, didn't deter her one bit. "Oh that is so cuuuutte!!" Jill exclaimed.

Next thing anybody knew, the ginger-haired girl grabbed hold of the cats with both of her arms and squeezed them into her chest. The felines seemed to like the affection judging by how loud the purring they made was. "Hey Mary can we keep these two? Can we? Can we? Can we?" the ginger asked her onyx haired friend. "I don't know," she said, unsure of the decision. "You think your brother is gonna let a kitten move in with you in house? You and I both know of his allergies." "Oh don't worry about Greg," Jill responded back. "He's taking a few weeks off with his buddies in Tokyo. Won't know I even have a cat when he gets back." “If you say so,” the 11-year old sighed.

As she stood there watching her friend snuggle with the kittens, Mary was looking at the white one all the while. Out of the two kittens, the white one was to her the cutest. Getting an idea, the climber girl tapped Jill on the shoulder to ask her something. "Yeah?" the 10-year old asked after turning to her friend. "Why don't you let have the white one while you get the black one," she said. "That way we can have a big cutie to cuddle." "That's not a bad idea." the ginger girl agreed. "Black happens to one of my favorite colors anyway." As she handed over the white kitten to her friend, Jill got bit by the black one on the nape of her neck unbeknownst to her. She didn't feel it due to how soft and nip like it felt. The white did the same thing to Mary when its head was over the climber's shoulder in the view of the exact same spot. Next thing either of them knew was a shining light the girls were engulfed in.

While watching the two humans transform into Digimon, the twins hopped down onto the ground to watch the process happen. What they didn't expect to happen was the size of the silhouettes in the light getting smaller they what they originally intended. Both pairs of eyes widened upon seeing the silhouettes turn into the shape of a familiar form they know. Seeing that the transformation glow has subsided, and the pile of what was once the human girls' clothes fall to the ground, the Gatos scurried over to them and checked for signs of life.

It was only a few seconds before they both spotted something moving from underneath the piles. Realizing what was moving, Gatomon and BlackGatomon rushed to get all those clothes off so they could see what’s moving under them. Right in front of the cat-like Digimon were two Salamon, Digimon that are puppy like that serve as the kittens’ rookie forms. Only major differences here that can tell the two apart are the tuffs of hair on their heads. One of the Salamon has ginger hair, the other onyx black. Both of the former humans were sleeping due to the exhaustion caused by their sudden transformation, much to the Gato twins' relief.

Of all the things they expected to happened, what occurred just now wasn't on the list. After thinking it over a little bit, Gatomon and BlackGatomon glanced at each other for a few seconds before smiling and nodded simultaneously on the decision they think is final for them both. Each of them grabbed one of the Salamon with their paws; Gatomon got the one that was once named Mary, BlackGatomon the one once named Jill. After putting their extra load on their shoulders, the twins went to what they believed to be the direction of their companions and sped over there. Leaving trails of dust in the process.
