Digimon Tamers: Generations Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Girl with a Fishbowl on her Head

"Bastmon!"

Bastmon was a large cat. Her eyes remained gold and her fur remained dark gray and lavender with pink diamond shaped markings and stripes on her body. Her face was more beast-like with four dragon like whiskers. Two on each side. Her claws were retractable and made of diamond. On her paws, ears, and the back of her head to between her shoulder blades were white flames. Two tails made of such flames erupted from her tailbone. On her head was a Native American headdress decorated with gold and light-pink feathers and a brownish-red and pink band across her forehead. Two bear-fur charms hung from each side of the headdress. a wooden beaded necklace hung across her neck. A bell hung from the middle of the necklace as well as two light-pink and gold feathers on each side. On her large pointed cat ears dangled a pair of gold hoop earrings. She stood on four legs.

"Ma-Manekimon?" Said Tally in shock. (Still floating.)
"Yes and no. I'm Bastmon the spirit beast digimon." Said the large cat.
"Cool..." Said Tally. She looked down...How was she still floating like that? As soon as this thought came to her..."AAAAAGH!" She was suddenly falling!
Aikuro heard the scream and looked up. At that moment something hit his face. Whatever it was it flattened him to the ground.
"Owch!" Tally said wile rubbing her rear end. "Good thing I landed on something soft..." She saw Gorzalivamon. "Gorzalivamon! Are you ok? Wow, your totally out cold aren't you. Poor guy...Hey! Where's Aikuro." Asked Tally. She looked around and didn't see him. She heard mumbling. It came from underneath her. She stood up and looked were she landed. "Oh! There you are Aikuro!..." He lay face-up and spread-eagle on the ground. He said nothing. "Umm are you ok...Could it be that you're not hurt at all?"

"THAT HURT ALLOT!" He yelled suddenly jumping to his feet. "Why don't you look were your falling!"
"Well I screamed! That should have given you a clue!" Said Tally.
"NO it made me look UP!" Said Aikuro.
"Well you should have caught me!" Said Tally.
"WHAT! How the hell was I supposed to know you'd fall on top of me! I can't expect it to start raining girls!" Said Aikuro.
"Umm guys I might need help so quit fighting and revive Gorzalivamon!" Said Bastmon who was keeping the Megadramon at bay.
"She's right...This isn't a time for arguing." Said Aikuro.
"We're still gonna continue our fight afterward, right?" Asked Tally in a joking-voice.
"You're a real weirdo aren't you?..." Said Aikuro as he picked up the card he dropped and swiped it through his digivice. "Digimodify! Stamina activate!"
Gorzalivamon woke up and shook his head clear. "Ugg, what happened?"
"Manekimon digivolved...She needs your help." Said Aikuro.
"So the cat finally digivolved." Said Gorzalivamon. "Well I'm not gonna let her get all the glory." He stood up. "Aikuro..."
"You sure you have the strength?" Asked Aikuro.
"Oh yeah. I'm ready to beat this guy til there's not even data left!" Said Gorzalivamon.
Aikuro the modify card out of his card holder. "Digimodify! Digivolution activate!"
A voice from his digivice spoke. "DIGIVOLUTION..."
"Gorzalivamon Digivolve to!" Red and gold streams of data came out of the digivice and wound around Gorzalivamon, after a moment he exploded out of the streams of data.
"Carnarismon!" He exclaimed.
"All right you lizard!" Said Bastmon. "DREAM CATCHER!" Exclaimed Bastmon as her tail flames wove thread-like flames into the shape of a native American dream catcher. The digimon was pulled face first into the white flamed weaving. He was trapped in the flame dream catcher like a fly in a web.
"Carnarismon attack his back between the shoulder blades!" Said Bastmon.
"You sure?" Asked Carnarismon.
"No, but if we don't attack now he'll break free of my spell!" Said Bastmon.
"Fine then." Aiming his arm cannons he fired a large red laser. "RAGE CANNON!"
Bastmon unsheathed her diamond claws. "ADAMENT CLAW!" She called. Her attack created a crystal light around her claws she slashed them and the diamond light blazed towered its target.
The attacks combined and hit the mark, and in a scream of agony, Megadramon was defeated.
They watched as it's black colored data float away.
"We did it..." Said Tally. Tally looked up. The giant beast was gone! "Aikuro! It's gone…That thing…where did it…"
"Don't look so shocked. Something that big can't stay stable here for long." Said Aikuro. "The other digimon aren't showing up on my radar ether. But I doubt it's over. We're Tamers, you should get used to fights like this. It's what we do."
"Now you need to talk with my father..." She looked at her new digivice. "We both have to..."
"What!" He said with a weird look on his face.
"My father's Takato Matsuki. He's one of the original digimon tamers." Explained Tally. "We need to figure out what to do next..."
"Oh..." Aikuro looked away. "So...that's what you were going on about..." Said Aikuro referring to what Tally said about not being her father.
"Oh, shut it." Said Tally turning pink with embarrassment. "Anyway, he'll probably want to know some more about digimon like Manekimon and Gorzalivamon."
"I guess..." Said Aikuro looking unsure. "I usually work alone. However; there is something I want to ask your father and his friends. But, don't think that this makes us friends. Like I said before I work alone, and I have my reasons for doing so. But when it comes to ridding the city of DDD's, you have my full support."
"Well... That's just fine with me!" Said Tally getting angry again. 'What was with this guy!' thought Tally.
"Fine."  Said Aikuro. "Let's go."
"Well what are you waiting for?" Said Bastmon. "Didn't you tell me you would come with me...This time no tricks."
"Fine..." Said Tally. "Looks like I have no excuses now."
Bastmon lay down in front of her signaling her to get on her back. Her fur was soft, touching it was like petting a cat. "Don't worry my flames won't hurt you."
A few minutes later she was flying through the air! Well sort-of. Bastmon's flames gave her lift enough to fly. Riding a giant flying cat was pretty exciting. The only downside was that Gorzalivamon lost his energy after that last fight. So he couldn't carry Aikuro. And guess who had to give him a ride...
"Hey! Aikuro I know you had to get a ride and all but...WOULD YOU MIND NOT GRABING ONTO ME!"
"What else is there to hold onto!" Said Aikuro.
"That's what you say but I seem to manage just fine!" Replied Tally.
"You've got shoulder blades and neck! I've got nothing but fur!" Aikuro pointed out.
"Well I..." Tally was about to say something when Bastmon interrupted.
"Will you please stop fighting while on my back!" Said Bastmon "Besides we're here!"
"Good!" Said Tally. She climbed off Bastmon when they landed. "Five more seconds with him and I think my head would have exploded!"
"Bastmon I don't envy your position. If I were a digimon I would hate to have her as a tamer!" Said Aikuro. Tally heard.
"Why you..." Said Tally raising a fist to his face just then the door of the house swung open and Tally found herself in full embrace.
"Tally!" Said her mother's worried voice. Jeri squeezed her daughter tightly practically lifting her off her feet. "Your all right thank goodness!"
"Mom I..." Said Tally but once again she was interrupted.
"Tally!" Said a familiar voice. It was Ruhi. The eight-year-old daughter of Rika and Rio was standing next to her twin brother Roha. Both had long dark brown hair and light purple eyes. The girl had slightly longer hair than the boy and he was a bit taller. They wore different outfits but both had a gothic/punk look about them.
"Roha! Ruhi!" Tally said in surprise. The twins came to hug their long-time friend. After being hugged they both slapped Tally on the cheek. "OWW!"
"Do you know how much I was worried about you!" Said Ruhi. "I heard what you did! Going after a digimon!"
"I didn't go after a digimon. Just his tamer." Said Tally.
"Still! You should have let the adults handle it!" Said Roha.
"I know but...I guess I just wanted to do something useful..." Said Tally.
"That was careless and reckless and I don't want to hear that you've..." Said Jeri. She then looked up at Bastmon. Then looked at Aikuro and Gorzalivamon. Aikuro avoided her look he pretended to be busy checking Gorzalivamon for any serious damage. Which Tally knew wasn't the case.
"Who are they?" Asked Jeri, but before she could answer the question disturbance came in the sound of clanking feet and a loud "HELLO! Make way for the greatest of all the tamers!"
"Yeah, in your dreams Mr. Shioda!" Said Ruhi. "Mom is the greatest tamer and you know it!"
"No dad is." Said Roha.
"Mr. Kazu!" Said Tally in surprise. She thought he was in America. More importantly...How did he fit Gardromon on the plane?
"Don't forget me!" Said Gardromon.
"Kazu, Gardromon!" Said Jeri hugging the machine digimon on the arm.
"Well hello Jeri" Said Gardromon. "Good to see you."
"Yeah It's been a while since we've all gathered like this." Said Kazu. "Kenta here?"
"Yes, we were waiting on you guys to get here." Said Jeri. "Now it's like the whole group's back together."
"I know, I feel so nostalgic." Said Kazu.
"I know what you mean." She turned to Tally. "I want you to go to your room and don't come down until we tell you to."
"Mom!" Said Tally in a panic.
"Don't mom me!" Said Jeri.
"If I might say something" Said Aikuro nearly scaring the wits out of Jeri. She gave him a look Tally didn't understand. Was that fear? Aikuro just avoided eye-contact with her. "I think Tally has a few things to say to you so listen to your daughter."
"All right what does Tally have to say to us." That voice was her father's. He was accompanied by Guilmon.
Tally took a deep breath to summon her strength. She lifted her digivice up. "Mom, Dad I'm Bastmon's tamer!"
"What!" Said Takato. He looked from Tally to Bastmon. "Manekimon is that you?"
"Yeah it's me." Said Bastmon in a-don't look at me it wasn't my idea-kind of voice.
"How did this happen?" Asked Takato.
"It's a long story..." Said Tally.
"We're listening." Said both Tally's parents at the same time.
...
5 hours later they were all in cramped in they're living room. Manekimon was back to herself again, and the meeting was about to begin. Everyone in the room was chatting. Tally was sitting next to her best friend Samantha Wong. Sam was the daughter of Henry. They flew all the way back from Hong Kong just for this meeting. She had dark blue hair and bright green eyes. Her mother died in a car accident when she was young. Now she travels around with Henry when he is out on his business trips. Her Aunt Susie had bought her a pink hat with a bow and was begging her to try it on.
"Sammy please! For your Aunty Susie!" Said Susie giving her pleading eyes.
"No Aunt Susie pink's just not my color." Said Sam.
"But...Pink's every girl's color." Said Susie. "Tally wears pink..."
"But Miss Susie I dyed my hair pink because I wanted to look different..." Said Tally. Before she dyed it she looked like a carbon copy of her dad…The only difference was she's a girl.
"I still can't believe you're a tamer." Said Sam. "It's what you always dreamed of."
"Yeah..." Tally said in a melancholy sort-of way.
"Are you o.k. Tally?" Asked Sam. "I thought you wanted to be a tamer."
"I did but for the wrong reasons. Now I'm not sure I deserve it..." Said Tally.
"Tally you were chosen. Sure it's a lot of responsibility, but I know you can handle it." Said Sam. She always knew just what to say.
"Thanks Sam." Said Tally.
"Quit moping around, they're starting." Said Manekimon.
"Right then first call of business." Said Takato. " The digimon that have mysteriously disappeared! Where have they gone, what are they seeking, and why come here. Here to tell us more about the situation is Manekimon and Gorzalivamon."

"Thank you." Said Manekimon. She explained the difference between DDD digimon and PDD digimon. And why they have come..."We believe they are being controlled by a strong parasitic digimon."
"A parasitic digimon?" Said Kenta. "That doesn't sound good."
"It's not." Said Gorzalivamon. "Aikuro may I?" He asked giving him a meaningful look. Suddenly everyone's attention was on Aikuro. Tally could almost feel a chill of fear wash over. Why on earth was everyone acting this way. They looked at him with the coldest eyes...Why...
"Go ahead." Said Aikuro. He looked as if this was normal behavior.
"Thanks." Said Gorzalivamon. He too acted as if this was everyday normal behavior. "Parasitic digimon has no feeling, no remorse, just blood lust. It only wants data. However they are excitingly intelligent. That digimon you saw in the sky...it probably was being controlled by the parasitic digimon. They create DDD's by corrupting their data. However; the digimon who are champion or higher are harder to control. This PD or parasitic digimon found a way to control them easily."
"Cables..." Said Tally. Everyone looked at her.
"Cables?" Said Gorzalivamon.
"Yeah, when Megadramon had us captured. I saw were the data-streams converged." Said Tally. "You know when I bit him..."
"You...bit...him...?" Said Sam.
"Cool, you actually bit him?" Said Leo.
"I wonder what that tastes like." Said Kenta.
"Probably like your gym-shorts." Said Kazu.
"Yucky." Said MerineAngemon.
"Well, we were in trouble!" Said Tally.
"That's right Tally suddenly told me to strike his back." Said Manekimon.
"Yeah after that I saw the cable I knew it had to be his weak point." It took a moment for her to figure out what she was saying. "Why...was I able to see that...when no one else could..."
"Apparently you have special powers..." Said Aikuro.
"No I don't." Said Tally.
"You know what this means don't you." Said Rika. "She can find these guy's weaknesses for us."
"What?" Said Tally.
"Common Rika you can't put all that responsibility on her." Said Henry.
"Why not I was responsible for you guys at her age!" Said Rika.
"If you recall we were older." Said Takato.
"Yes, she's only a child!" Said Jeri.
Tally stood up. She had enough. "That's it! I may be a child but this is my digivice, my power, Manekimon can speak for herself but I think she would be on my side in saying I should be able to make my own decisions! Common Manekimon!"
"Right behind you." Said Manekimon. And they stormed out of the living room.
"That went well." Said Renamon.

Meanwhile Tally was walking out the door to go find a place to cool off. However just as she was stepping out. She almost ran into a girl with a strange hat on her head. That is, if the girl hadn't done a 360 spin and dodged her in the most graceful way possible. Leaving Tally to land on her face.
"Oww" She said. Rubbing her face. "That really hurt."
"Are you unharmed...?" Said a very mono-drone voice.
Tally looked up. It was the girl she almost ran into. It took her a second to realize that wasn't a hat but...a fishbowl...full of water.
"Hello." She said. Once again Tally noticed the mono-drone tone to her voice. Not only that but her face held no emotion. "My name is Kitsume Oshizawa."
"Hello umm...Kitsume..." Said Tally. "I'm Tally Matsuki."
"Alright then." Said Kitsume while helping her up. "Now that we've been properly introduced. I wish you a good day."
"Umm stupid question..." Said Tally. "But why is there a fishbowl on your head?"
"For balance...that and..." She was suddenly interrupted.
"LADY KITSUME!" A red white and dark aqua blue fish popped it's head out. "Please be more careful next time!"
"THE FISH S-S-SPOKE!" Tally exclaimed.
"I'm not a fish!" He said. "My name's Koimon, thank you very much!"
