Is just that...I'm not used to... "You'll get used to it, but for now you require some rest, we'll continue tomorrow." "Eh, Yoshi?" "Yes?" "...thank you..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As the sun rises from the horizont glowing in a sky of redish color to announce the new day awaiting as the whites of the snow reflects and reveals the town in which it fell. Since early this morning one could hear the tractors moving the snow out of the streets, some adult people shuffling it off their home's doors or garages, some cars driving on the street either to work or making some deliveries to stores and houses maybe. Few people jogging along corners on jackets and pants as the coldwave continues to pass throught the country. But then. As the alarm clock sounds somewhere around 8:30, Yoshi wakes up and find difficulties in turning it off thou he's still sleppy. But enev so he rises up from the bed and stretches to let the blood circulate better through some push-ups and sit-ups before dressing some sport clothes and go to wake the others, getting ready for anther normal weekend in the morning. By this time, just barely feeling the shine of the sunrise coming through the window's curtains, Aqua opens her eyes to the light that falls upon her letting her be shined like a sapphire gem. She sits on trying to get used to the brightlight as she hears all the movement outside the room, she gets up and walks to the doors and watches how Yoshi along with Uma and Thana excersices. Just until she is a few steps from him, Yoshi is then awared of her presence. "Good morning, Aqua" he says, "i didn't wake ya up since you seemed so tired after dinner, so i wanted you to rest a bit more." "What're you doing?" She asks a little stranged. "Warming up, it's good for the circulation and let us be ready for the rest of the day and more prepared for any unexpected battle." "We rest on the weekends." continues Uma, "but sometimes a hard-headed Tamer comes along saying that he's going to beat us, so we get ready just in case it happens." This answers eaves Aqua mind a little concerned about the situation. She can't remember if there was any time when she warmed-up with Marika before battle, maybe that might be the reason why she felt that much pain on her body after every battle, the lack of preparation. even so she asks Yoshi if the could do some with them, just to recover herself from the sleep, he didn't objected and allowed her for the few minutes before start jogging to the outsides. It doesn't bother her the cold, by the first time in her life she discovered the advantages of her attributed as a Water Digimon, which for some reason she didn't know before. She also find out that her feet don't sink on the snow as easy as Yoshi's of the others, thanks to the small skins between her toes. As they keep going through the blocks downhill, the activity becomes more present as the paperboy delivers the news, a manager opens his store and cars drive in many directions toward their respective destinations as they arrive to theirs. Aqua recognizes the building thanks to some TV commercials she has seen, is manytimes biggers than what she thought it will be, with those huge crystal gates and such wonderful colores adorning the surrounding walls so perfectly, it's something she did not have a change to see before. Before... "You know this place, Aqua?" Asks Yoshi as they stoppes outside its doors. "I think is the Centre Mall, right?" She responds although unsure of her own answer. "Yes it is. And since you've just become part of the team, we decided to give you a surprise...but i will be until the end of the day, for now we'll have some fun and take a break from our usual schedule and dedicate it entirely to you." And don't have any idea of what to say to this talk. "Come along now." Says Yoshi, "we'll have some descent brekfast first, then we'll see what else to do." And so he starts to give Aqua an improvised tour through the mall stores as they make their way to a restaurant within which has breakfast buffes. It doesn't have such a big selection as in the evenings but one can eat well, besides is cheap per person and/or Digimon. Afterwards they walked across the rest of the mall's floors, letting Aqua have a glance at each of the places that are new for her, not imagining all of the stuff within the place; toys, pets, electronics, clothes, books and others. She also got the chance to meet other Digimons from Tamers that are also taking breaks and known Yoshi for quite a time and start conversating, with made her feel more comfortable since she only met them inside a battle field, only thinking on defeating each other and now learning how to interact and learn from them. As the noon draws and Yoshi made certains shoppings for the house, and sometimes not letting Aqua known as she keeps talking with other digimons from a friend Tamer of his. "HEY, YOU!" a voice sounds from the upper floor in which Yoshi and the others are as they look up and see a youngster dressing on thorned jeans, blackshirt and jacket with a skull draw on his back, a Knightmon standing close to him. "You're the so called 'Yoshi', aren't you?" he continued, "the famous Tamer that no one in the world has defeated before?" "Actually." Yoshi reply,"my Digimons are the undefeated i don't precisely get in the field and fight, but acting as a team gives some some merits. And who are you?" "I'm the one who is going to defeat you!" "Aha. Uma, is this the seventh of the week who said the same?" "I believe is more llike the tenth, Yoshi." Uma responds. "Man, this is going to be the fifth time we have to interrupt our break this month." "What will happen now, Yoshi?" Asks Aqua getting close to him, nervous in presence of such a stranger. "Since i have more than one Digimon as partner," explains Yoshi, "if a accept his challenge, he's in the right to choose who'll be his Digimon's opponent. And I have to accpet it or he will not leave us alone. And I just know who's he might going to choose." She feels that the way he looks at her completed the rest of his sentence, feelinf affraid all over again. "But...i'm still scared, what if I lose?" "Don't worry, with me by your side you can stay calm. Because i have a couple of tricks that will help us...trust me." * * * * * * * * * * The 16x24 m battlefield within the mall has been cleared for the Tamers to battle as each prepares themselves for the referre's signal (A referee is required in official battlefields, so that there's no cheating). Aqua is inside the field, fulfilling Yoshi's prediction that his opponent will choose the 'weak link' of his team, still uneasy for beng once again in battle turning her eyes back to Yoshi who's behind ten feet away. And when she looked at him holding the five cards he's allowed to use on that battle under the challenger's conditions, she recovers the confidence that was falling apart in her, rememberin the words he said before entering the arena: "With me by your side you can stay calm, Aqua...Trust me. When the battle starts run to your left, he might try to attack you, and when he does i want you to use you 'headbutt' to strike either the legs or the side of the waist, i'll tell you more as the battle goes on, believe me...believe in yourself." Aqua stands there as the Knightmon comes into the arena making the floor slightly shake with each of his steps with his thick armor and extended sword hanging on his back, looking down at Aqua with a penetrant glare. "Ha! This is going to be an easy one!" says then the challenger as he laughs in an annoying way, "and with a limit of only five cards I can't lose. Surely i ripped your whole strategy apart, didn't I?!" "Pardon?" Asks Yoshi not understanding him. "Don't fake innocence! I know all about your strategies, I watched each of your matches for the last month and I found that you use more than six cards per battle, now that i placed a limit to that, you have few resources to relay on. And precisely today i came to challenge your Indaramon for which i had made this strategy, but now that i saw you have a new, still weak Digimon, i decided that i could humilliate you more if i fought against it and have a quick victory over the world's most famous Tamers of flawless tactics. Ha, let's see what tactic can you come up with now!" Yoshi's looks straight ahead towards him, and he only says this as an answer: "Looks are deceiving." The challenger suddenly stopped laughing, trying to find the meaning of his answer. "Are you sure about this, Yoshi?" asks thana by his side on the arena, "I don't believe she's ready for this now." "Don't worry, Thana" responds Yoshi, showing her one of the cards in his hand; a special one, "I got her covered." "Oh my, is that the..." "TAMERS, ENGAGE!!" shouted the referre signaling the beginning of the batt;e as the crowd keeps silence to avoid distracting the Tamers as they confront each other. "BERSERK SWORD!" Knightmons says using his sword to make a vertical strick over Aqua. She noticed that his movements are slower than expected, even more than the ones she used to fight before. So following Yoshi's instructions she quickly dodges the attack by impulsing to the left letting the sword crash on the ground partially oppening it. Next, Aqua with her eyes closed dut to a moment of doubt charges towards Knightmon using 'Headbutt'. But unaware as she launches herself that Yoshi is making his first move. He retrieves one of the cards on his hands ans slices it through his Digivice. "DIGIMODIFY!" shouts as he lets the Digivice charge the data from the card and a silver glow come out from within it, "WAR HELMET, ACTIVATE!" The silver glow then covers Aqua's head as it creates an object while getting closer to impact. A great crash sounds fills the air as if two cars has impacted directly into one another. "Perfect timing," thinks Yoshi while looking at the results of the move. "FIRST ATTACK MADE BY YOSHI'S AQUAVMON!" announce the referee lifting his arm toward Yoshi. In the air appears then Knightmon's yell of pain as he falls to his knees who in spite of his thick armor feels the power of the impact that created multiple cracks on the side of his golden belt. Aqua falls to the grouns, feeling her head dizzy, her body a bit numd, and mostly heavy after the impact as she places her hand on her head and becomes aware of the object on her head, a tri-horned, gray-metal hemet as similar to a WarGreymon's is protecting her head entirely. "Aqua, retreat!" Says Yoshi as he signals a spot in front of him. She moves as fast as she can with the heavy helmet still on her. Then it turns back into a silver glow that vanishes in the air like it was never there. "Knightmon is unable to continue, the first round goes to 'Yoshi' and his AquaVmon." "Allright, now for our next move I want youto run straight ahead towards him." "What?!" she says not believing what Yoshi wanted her to do. "Just trust me on this one, and when you hear me say 'Digimodify', quickly jump as hard as you can to be over Knightmon, any objections?" "But, what if he attacks first?" "Then dodge it and run around him, i have you cover again, now be ready?" As she turns around sees Knightmon getting back on his feet as his Tamer uses a 'Restore' card to heal his Digimon and repair the armor. "You just got a lucky shot, Yoshi?" says the challenger, "but this time i'll have no mercy on ya?" He then takes a second card and slices it through the Digivice. "Digimodigy! Hyper Speed, Activate!" A blue glow encircles an covers Knightmon as he yells and warm up swinging his sword and moving more easily than before. "Smart move." comments Yoshi in secret to Aqua. "What just happened?" she asks. "He used the card to increase Knightmon's speed, now is faster of movement." "What are we suppose to do?" "We won the first round by making him unable to continue, it'll be over if we win this second round, if not we'll go to a third to break the tie...if he attacks first dodge him as many times as you can until i can find a flaw and use my next card, so stay focus." "Yes, Yoshi." Then she returns to the center of the field waiting as the second round start. Knightmon, quicker, launches himself in a series of Berserk Sword's, Aqua barely able to dodge his sword and keep of in which direction his move will be, running close and far to try to stay out of his attack range without any results. "That's is Knightmon, we got her on the run!" yells the challenger ready to use his next card, "Digimodify, Heavyweight Belt, Activate." "Just as I expected." thinks Yoshi after hearing his opponent's command, "Aqua, stick close to him, now!" Without anytime to think about it, Aqua runs and slides under Knightmon's legs as he suddenly seems to grow almost half of his original size. "With that card he has increased his attack power, but sacrificing the speed he gain before. The only advantage now is he can't move freely, But i must not take risks. DIGIMODIGY, 'AQUA SPIRIT', ACTIVATE!" A bluish glow from within his Digivice floats to Aqua and encircles her turning her into a little shooting star that flies all over the place leaving a blue mist as she goes around Knightmon, getting him blind by the mist, stricking the floor in every direction iin an attempt to hit her. "Come on, come on." Thinks Yoshi again, "make your move, if you're the kind of Tamer i think you are your about to use another card that increases his power again." "Okay, enough of games!" exclaims finally the challenger in rage as he slides another card, "Digimodify, 'Iron fist', activate!" The glow of the Digivice makes Knightmon's rift fist to be covered by an iron surface that makes it grow in size turning it into a massive iron glove that strikes the ground hard that creates a small earthquake that expands all over the building catching some people by surprise. the suddne wave makes Aqua stumble and fell constantly as the mist she created fades and becomes visible at a short distance in fronto of Knightmon. She struggles to get back vainly on her feet as the striking wave is still in effect whil Knightmon walks slowly towards her without any problem due to his size, finally grabbing her with his enormous iron-gloved hand covering practically all of her body excepting her head not allowing her to move. "Ha! Now i'm the master here!" the challenger says feeling the round's victory in his hands as AquaVmon struggles to escapes from his grip. "Yoshi we must do something before she gets hurt badly." says Thana observing the suddne change of situation, "She's not ready for these king of battles yet, she's not experienced enough." But as she looks into his eyes saw something familiar. His eyes has that color within them that signals his trance in which no one can enter, that few Tamers can reach this is beyond any logic explanation. He takes one more card from his hand ready to pass it through his silver-golden Digivice. "Yoshi!" yells Aqua falling into panic felling the grip getting stronger, "Yoshi please, do something!" "Don't worry..." Something suddenly says within her, something that gives her a sudden feeling of peace, Yoshi's voice. "I swore i'll be with you covering you, and I' will keep my word." "DIGIMODIFY, 'AQUA ARMOR', ACTIVATE!!" As he slides the card not only his Digivice unleashes a spectacular bluish glow but Yoshi's body glows in the same way and tone, surprising intensively everyone at the arena. "What?!" The challenger thinks totally taken by surprise, "what the hell is going on? where's that light coming from?!" "What's happening?" Thinks Aqua, feeling a whole new sensation as the glow falls uppon her, "I feel...so warm, and strange." Knightmon's iron hand begins to shake as the glow surrounds Aqua, feeling something on her. "What is this?" Knightmon says, "what is this intense emotion, this intense power?" All of a sudden his hand iron glove shattered in pieces leaving his normal hand expose and releasin Aqua from him, kneeling to the ground by the pain he started to feel on his whole arms barely able to move a finger. The glow enlights her in mid-air creating a sphere of intense energy as everyone see the lights coming out from it creates an illusion of being themselves underwater, like if the batle is being help in the deeps of an ocean. And then... "AQUAVMON, ARMOR DIGIVOLVES TO..." her voices is hear throughout the place as the glow starts to fade, revealing the new Digimon within it. A precious golden armomr adornes and protects her athetic-looking body of a sky-blue skin, her metallic gloves that covers her forearms are incrusted with three oval rubies of distint sizes ending with soft, black hand gloves. Her chest is also protected by a golden armor tight around with a black, dorsal armomr with flexible divisions along her abdomen and waist to a belt of three plates on her front part and at her sides, also two plates that protect both of her legs below the knees. Her golden helmet protecting her head and face is quite long but not deforming in anyway its shape, an opening at the top lets her aquatic crest show and move freely above those sapphire eyes while her talis moves from one side to the other in a peaceful rhythm. "AQUARIVAMON!" Her voice althou mature but still childish is hear on the battlefield as she then adopts a fighting pose. "Let's put an end to this, Aqua!" Yoshi exclaims as he quickly slides his fourth card, "DIGIMODIFY, 'DRAMON KILLERS', ACTIVATE!" At the end of the command Aquarivamon's gloves glow and changes their shapes to a more solid, largo form unleashing three long claws (WarGreymon's gloves). "Knightmon, get outta there!" The challenger screams in desperation of losing the control. "I can't!" responds Knightmon, "that glow left me stunt, i can't get up!" And then joins the glows together and forms a small ball of energy between then glowing in a orange tone. She jumps to the highs while extending her hands above her head letting that small energy ball expand to great proportions glowing as much strenght as the sun ready to explode. "TERRA FORCE!" Throws the energy ball with al of her new might against Knightmon like a meteor falling from the sky creating a massive explosion that coves the entire battlefield, not affecting anyone outside of it thanks to the presence of energy shields surrounding the place to avoic harming the buldings of the crowd. The sudden blast ending in a great shining along with its sound waves throws Yoshi's opponent to the grouns as Yoshi remains still not even blinking in presence of the glow that is followed by a smoke curtain. "Direct impact." whispers Yoshi as knowing the irrefutable results already. As the smoke fades Aquarivamons lands on her feet on the field as the silhouette of Knightmon is revealed in the middle of a great crater, unconscious. "The match is over." Signals the referee, "The winners are the Tamer 'Yoshi' and his Aquarivamon!" The present silence becomes then a loud cheers from the crowd of people and Tamers over Aquarivamon and Yoshi's victory. Yoshi walks into the battlefield towards Aqua who just reentered into reality and looked all around her to the crowds of people and Digimons cheering, and some applauding. "Yes Aqua, those are cheers." Yoshi says right by her side, "those are cheers for the victory, 'our' victory. It was a good thing I remembered that Digimons have more than one way to Digivolve, so I trade some of my card at a TCG's Store for the 'Aqua Spirit' and the 'Aqua Armor' to let you Digivolve into Champion. You see the right way to... "I...I, Digivolved?" Says Aqua looking at the Dramon Killers vanish and turn back into the normal golden gloves. "Yes Aqua, you just did it. There's still two more levels to reach but for now... Yoshi stops as he catches the expresson on Aqua's face, with her blue eyes being covered in tears, some rolling already through the surface of her helmet as it happens. "Aqua?" Aqua throw her arms around Yoshi suddenly and hugs him with al of her strenght, letting our than all of her cry, almost buring her face on his chest. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH YOSHI! I was never able to Digivolve before, I was so scared that I couldn't do anything right!. Oh thank you Yoshi, thank you! (x5)" "O...kay." Barely said Yoshi, "but...could you please, stop hugging me so hard?...I, can't breathe." At that moment she recovers some control on herself and releases him who takes a really deep breath to feel his lungs a bit dizzy for the lack of Oxygen. "I'm so sorry." She apologizes, still with the mix of emotions, "is just that...I...this...Its." "It's allright Aqua, it's always an experience the first time you get to digivolve, ask Thana and Uma, or any other Digimon around here, they know about it... "HEY, THIS IS NOT FAIR!!" Yells the challenger getting into the arena passing aside Knightmon without even looking at it, "YOU'RE SO A CHEATER!" "And on what are you based on to say that?!" "Is impossible that you could defeat my Ultimate Lvl. Knightmon that has many upgrades of Attack and Defense with a Champion Lvl. Digimon. There's no way a weak Digimon like that can defeat a strong one!" "Okay." Yoshi says desperated of hearing such stupidity, "First, it is incredible that actually anyone these days can be beated by 'that' tactic you desing for me, even a rookie could beat it. Second, a 'weak' Digimon can defeat a 'strong' one when the attributes are correct to create maximum natural Damage and by using you Digicards 'wisely', which you just did very wrong. And third, if you were more conscious about Anatomy and Physics, maybe you'll see you caused your own defeat." "What're you blahing about?!" He asks. "First of all." Yoshi continues, "Knowing that Knightmon; due to his size and weight, can't move as freely as any orhers and that his attack range causes 'zero' damage once close to him, and thanks to AquaVmon's size and speed, i combinas her 'Headbutt' with the 'War Helmet' card to hit Knightmon's waist, to unable im not only to continue the round but to short his mobility more even if you used 'Respairments". Second, your mistake was using 'Heavyweight Belt' in an already heavy Digimon. Knightmon is adapted to tolerate a certain amount of extra weight due to his size, and with the belt that increases his size by half you crossed that limit, so Aqua ran around him to forze his movement and sour his muscles while at the same time i used 'Aqua Spirit' to reduce his Defense power as much as possible, and after she digivolved into Aquarivamon I used the 'Dramon Killers' to form the Terra Force and make the second attack...as simple as that. "And one more thing. If you were looking all of my matches, you should know by now two essential thing...'I don't use the same tactic twice' and 'I build strategies as the battle goes on', so there's no real way to tell what we'll do." "RRRRRGGGGGGH!!" The challenger brushes his teeth on eachother of the anger, "I DEMAND A REMATCH!!" "Uffhh. and once again." Yoshi replies pointing to the crater where there's no longer a Knightmon, but it's Rookie form, "First, you Knightmon has just De-evolved back into Kendomon...and is still unconscious. Second, as I said before, me and my Digimons are on our break, the only time on the week I forget about battles and have a normal day with some friends, which should arrive at any given moment. And third, I promised Aqua over here that we were going to spend this special day with her, and i'm planning to keep my word." He turns his back on him and places his hand on Aquarivamonn's shoulder as he look over his, "now if you excuses us, we'll go for some milkshakes, and maybe some Chicken Yakisoba for supper." * * * * * * * * * * It's now close to 10 o'clock at Yoshi's house, the air becoming colder with the fall of the sun and the rise of a white moon surrounded by a limitless number of start in the sky. Uma decided to stay up a bit longer, feeling not tired. Thana decided to take a quick warm bath before also going to bed, while Yoshi is already on his piyamans, althou not ready to sleep yet. He is by now with Aqua still in Armor and uncertaing of her feelings. "So, you never actually Digivolved before, Aqua?" "No, I couldn't...for a long time, I always felt uneasy when i fought; i didn't feel any strenght with me, so I always ended nervous, and losing...But there was something today, something different. I felt strong, prepared for it but... "Oh, talking about the match." Cuts Yoshi on her talk as he remembers, taking her a bit by surprise as she looks at him reaching for a shoping bag close to the door. He tells her with his hand to sit down on the bed. He sits by her with the bag, Aqua curious about what he'll show her. "Uma, Thana and I got some presents for you." He continues, "each got it in secret, we didn't wanted to ruin the surprise. Originally we meant to give them to you at the mall, but with the match in the middle we had to change the plan, and neither of us got chance the wrap them." "Presents? For me?" He starts then with Thanan's. Is of a crimson red made of pure cotton with some designs along its surface, making it look quite beautiful for such an extension. "Thana got you this shawl. Is made of cotton but also of a special material that makes it resistant to most uses, you can wear it wherever you please." The next one is from Uma. thou not wuite our of the normal is still peculiar, this volleyball feela like one but also under its white surface feels like hard rubber. "Uma got this special training ball. It has a soft surface but it bounces back with quite force, think of it like a big crazyball that flies everywhere, it's hard to understand it at first but you'll learn to read its movement. He always thinks about the training, so he got you this to hel you stay in shape and adquire more experience. And finally..." He takes out his present for her. Just as interesting as her is the stuffed doll he got, made in the figure of an eight-inches tall Flamedramon. "I didn't know what to give you at first since i don't quite know what you like, but then i thought on your similarity with a Flamedramon, so i got this doll for you. It might sound childish but, sometimes a doll can help relief the stress." "Oh, it's just so cute." She says while hugging the doll close to her chest, looing then at Yoshi, "thank you again, Yoshi. I don't know what to say." She then, remembering how to control her own strenght, she slowly surrounds Yoshi's neck with her arms and carefully hugs him. Yoshi lets her stay this way for a couple of minutes as he places his hand on her back, patting her. "Let's sleep for now, tomorrow depending on the weather we might take a seoncd day off or not. But for now I want you to get some sleep and recover from your battle." "Yes, as you wish, Yoshi. She says as she releases him and he gets back up, "But I think I'll take a bath first, I feel a bit sweaty. Goodnigh, Yoshi." "Goodnight, Aqua." He then walks aways to the door of the room, stretching slightly his arms to the sides to close the door behind him as he retires to his chambers. "Eh...Yoshi?" "Yes, Aqua?" "There's something i need to aks. But I feel a bit ashame." "Don't worry, you can ask me for anything." Well, I was just wondering...how do I...take this armor off?" Yoshi walks back to her slowly, asking her to stand up, Aqua looking at his eyes. He taks her hand on his, looking at it. "There's suppose to be some ocks on them, allow me." And so Yoshi gets closer to her and sits back on the bed with her, opening each of the pieces of her armor, revealing more of her smooth, blue skin to the passionates orange light of the sunset. ...2 B Continued... Well, that's it, I hope ya enjoy it. I tried to remain true to the mechanic of battle as in "Dgmn Tamers", but I couldn't see such of the Series...but oh well, maybe I'll change it for my own purposes (buhaahahaha, coughs, sorry for that).
