(A/N - WARNING! WARNING! GROSS-OUT FACTOR IMPENDING!! If you EVER wonder about Davis' somewhat strange behaviour in Veemon's body in this chapter, it is VEEMON'S BODY THAT IS CAUSING IT!! What do I mean? Read on, if you dare wish to find out...)
Argetlahm Tech Library
Day 4, 9:13 AM
Takeru slid several books out of the small pine bookcase and dropped them on the small table in the room. The lamp hanging over the support lit up.
"Daemon Summoning and Other Arcane Arts."
"Elements for Dummies."
"Things You Mispronounce and Die."
"Ki And You - A Beginner's Guide to Blowing Things Up with Your Mind."
"Mobile Suit Engineering - Volume 7."
"Digicylopedia."
Patamon sat down on the table across from TK. "Geez, TK? What's the deal? You used to hate books. Why?"
"Just brushing up. Okay.... correct me if I'm wrong... Veemon.. Exveemon... .... "
"AeroVeedramon?"
"No, wait, that's a Mega... geez, I wish I could get through to Davis."
Patamon smiled. "But you'll always have..."
"Angemon, MagnaAngemon, and Seraphimon. Thanks, I needed that," TK reached for the nearest book to him and started reading. "Still, I wouldn't mind knowing what was in these books. There's some interesting techniques in here, you just have to look. At least that's what I heard from Ultimanium."
TK ran his finger down the page. "....Final Flash...Ancient Saiyan desperation move... a beam of raw Ki capable of destroying entire planets, rivaled only by the Kamehameha... man, some of this stuff is weird. Expert proficiency in Ki arts required. Ha, figures.. isn't there anything here that Ki newbies can use?"
Patamon tilted his head to the side. "Did you even look up Ki?"
TK shrugged. "Nah. But whatever it is, it can't be hard to get. I mean, look at all these techs using Ki. It can't be that hard to run by. Hey... Patamon.. check this one out."
Patamon hovered over and perched on Takeru's shoulder.
TK licked his lips. "Lessee... 'Change Now'. While this technique requires extreme concentration to activiate, it requires little Ki to maintain. Now THIS is more like it. Change Now is a technique perfected and copyrighted by the late Captain Ginyu. It is a beam of pure conscience that has the capability of invading other peoples' bodies and forcing their own out, sending it to the nearest vacant body, effectively switching bodies with its target. Hmm, this looks cool."
Patamon sweatdropped. "Switching bodies? TK, do you know what you're doing?"
"It can't be that bad. I mean, I can always just cast it again."
The glass door creaked open. TK looked up from his tome. "Who's there?"
Izumi stepped around the corner, in sweatshorts and a tank top, with a towel over his shoulder. "What's in here?"
"Ultimanium's personal tech library. Just checking out some weird Ki techniques."
"Ki? You mean psychic energy?"
TK looked confused. "Well.. I guess."
"You should talk to Goku about that. He knows a bit about Ki, he uses it all the time."
Patamon hopped up. "You mean all those beam attacks he uses draw off Ki?"
Izumi nodded. "Creating raw energy from scratch is most often done from burning off Ki. Basically, anyone who can create raw energy and apply it can use Ki."
TK sighed. "Uh.. yeah..."
Izumi tugged at a shoulder strap. "Or, you could go so far as to say that actual psychic energy waves are thrown forth into this dimension and given mass and converted into damaging energy."
"Oh, I think I get it now. Thanks."
"No problem." Izumi said. He turned on his heel and left the room.
TK sat and thought for a second. He got a really, really, REALLY bad idea.
"Hey, Patamon."
"What?"
"You can use energy attacks, right? Boom Bubble, Hand of Fate, whatnot?"
Patamon shook his head madly. "No way. I am NOT learning that. It's just scary."
TK stood up and spread his arms. "Do it on me."
"I'm nicer than that, TK."
"Just once. I wanna see what it feels like."
Patamon looked out the door. Everybody was training in the gym, in the range or in the workout room. "Well... okay. Just once. Then you're going back in your own body."
He pulled the book across the table over to his position. "Okay... here goes..."
Patamon concentrated on the runic writing that was inscribed on the pages ahead of him. After memorizing it, he looked up to Takeru. He closed his eyes and began concentrating, humming the runic language under his breath. After repeating the ritual for the fourth time, he was ready. "CHANGE NOW!!"
A bright beam of light shot from Patamon's mouth and impacted against TK, making them both stumble backwards from the shock. Both blacked out.
********
Davis placed the 20 pound weight back on the rack. Exveemon placed his 250 pound one next to it. Davis shook his head. "That is SO cheating."
"It's my Champion form that does all the fighting." Exveemon laughed, as he flexed momentarily. With a flash, Veemon stood where the behemoth Champion once stood.
"Heeeey!!" Veemon squealed.
Davis held up the D3 in front of him. He brought it down to his side. "Not so tough now, are you?"
Serge held a magazine in front of him as he pedelled forward on the mounted bike in front of him. "Geez, they NEVER have any good techs in here anymore."
Kid, on the bike across from him, tossed her magazine to the side. "You're telling me."
Gohan placed down a barbell. "Hey, we should try looking in that library that Ultimanium showed to us some time. There would probably be some new skills in there we overlooked."
Kari hopped off of the stairclimber and swept off her brow. "Good point. I'm going to check the place out after."
********
"C'mon, everybody! A one! And a two! Work it!" Berri shouted.
Agumon leaped gracefully into the air, and landed flat on his face.
Gatomon stopped the jumping jacks she had been ordered to do and started kicking Agumon until he stood to his feet. "Any time now!!"
Goku kept on with his. "Okay, this is a little bit humilating."
"Shut up," Berri barked. "You sit in the weight room lifting weights, you fly around this gym punching and kicking the crap out of each other all day, and you STILL never get any flexing exercises! Your muscles are crying uncle from that torture and you do nothing about it!"
Vegeta finshed his 45th jumping jack. "It worked for me before." He growled.
"Eeeeh! Vegeta! Quit sagging and get up in the air already!!" Karsh yelled from a nearby bench.
"SHUT UP, YOU!!" Vegeta bellowed.
**********
"So what really are we here for then?" Duo asked. "If we can't get our Gundams over here, we're as good as dead."
Ultimanium frowned. "That's the bad news. You have to hear the good news."
"There's no good news here," Heero said, stopping his pacing. "We can't fight."
"Well, maybe your Gundams are here. You just aren't looking hard enough."
The door of the hangar flew open. Outside, in space, sat the two Gundams, if a bit different.
"Those are huge!" Duo gasped. "No way those are the Gundams!"
"I present Wing Zeromus and DeathHarvest. Both Gundams are enhanced models of the original Gundams, ones I personally planned and consructed myself. Various enhancements have been made the Gundams' infrastructre. The reflex enhancement has been increased tenfold, and the mobile suits themselves are more agile and heavily armored than the previous incarnations of each. The Buster Cannon Mk.II is standard issue for the Wing Zeromus and the super battlestar Soul Harvest goes to DeathHarvest."
The DeathHarvest held out the Soul Harvest. It was similar to the Deathscythe Hell - two of them. The dual Hells crossed in the center of the handles to form a swatisika, with energy blades on the ends.
Both pilots sat in awe.
"Heh..." Duo smirked.
********
TK opened an eye. Funny, he didn't remember having sat down when he got hit with the Change Now. He slowly climbed to his feet and attempted to rub his eyes... but didn't get all the way. His arms were too short.
"What the..." TK squeaked. "....YAAAAUUUGGHHH!!! PATAMON!!"
Patamon slowly climbed to his feet, clutching onto the table. "Hey... TK.... where am...." Wait a minute. I can't pull myself up with my arms. Uhh... "What the... YAAAAUUUUGGHHH!!!! TK!!!"
Patamon stared down at TK. TK stared up at Patamon. Both screamed. After a lengthly 3 minute yelling spree, both began to calm down.
Takeru sat down. "Maaan... this is weird..." uncomfortable in his seat, his ears began to flap off impulse and he rose off the ground. "Heh... check it out, I can fly..."
Patamon stood in place and flapped his arms. "This is going to take getting used to."
TK eyed the D3 clipped onto Patamon's belt. Patamon quickly sheathed the digivice underneath his hand. "Don't get any ideas. I've had enough of this, let's return to our bodies, and..."
TK hopped up and down. "C'mooooon!! Just one digivolve?"
"No."
"When I get back to that body, you are sleeping on the floor."
"Point made," Patamon sighed. "C'mon, lets go."
TK... digivolv... um....
"This isn't going to work..." Patamon groaned. "one more time."
Patamon... digivolve to....
ANGEMON!!
"Whoooo!!" TK crooned. "I rock!" He tossed open the door leading out to the gym and caught Davis walking by. "Hey, Davis."
"Huh? Angemon? What are you do-"
SCHRACKK
The Angel Wand whipped fiercely across Davis' exposed face, sending him to the ground. TK cracked his knuckles. "I've ALWAYS wanted to do that."
"Angemon!" Veemon yelled. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Uh oh," TK moaned. "The jig is up."
Veemon stared at TK. "Hey, man... you alright?.."
TK sweatdropped. "Eh... yeah.. I'll be back in a minute, I have to go to the bathroom..." He quickly dashed across the open gym, throwing open the double doors and running into the hall. Patamon followed close behind.
Veemon bended down and lifted Davis' head off of the ground. "Does Angemon go to the bathroom...?"
Davis stumbled to his feet. "I guess it's open to speculation..."
********
"Do you have any idea how many people saw that?!" Patamon wailed.
TK shrugged. "It was an impulse. Sooorry." He dedigivolved and returned to his Rookie form.
Patamon slumped down against the wall outside of the gym, now theoretically possible in Takeru's body. "I'm ruined. Forget it, TK, let's go get some help. Then we'll get back to our normal bodies."
"Fine... geez, I never even got to MagnaAngemon yet..." TK sighed. He hovered back into the gym and headed for the weight room. Using all of his strength, he pushed the heavy glass door open and stepped inside. Veemon shoved him back. "Patamon, I need to talk to you."
TK tried to cover himself up the best he could. "I really didn't know what happened there... just some funny reflex, that's all."
Patamon walked up. "Veemon, we need your help. Something went REALLY wrong when I was checking out that library."
Veemon rolled his eyes. "And then the jealousy takes over."
Patamon shook his head. "No, not that. Why we're acting funny. Don't tell anyone, but we've switched bodies."
Veemon glanced between the two. "...yeeeeah.. really... 'Patamon', could I ask you to leave for a second?"
TK pointed a stubby hand at himself. "Me?"
"Yes, you."
TK struggled again to get the door open again, and he pushed himself out. The glass door closed with a jingle.
Veemon glared up at Patamon. "Batpig!"
"You little shit! Don't call me that!.... uh..." Patamon blinked.
Veemon folded his arms. "You would've said something like 'don't talk about Patamon like that', but I see it's much worse than that. You two really switched bodies?"
"...Yes." Patamon sighed. He removed the tilly hat from his head and held it in front of him.
Davis leaned over Veemon. "Maybe we'll be so KIND as to help you..." He grinned. "...but you've got to do something for us."
"Anything, anything!" Patamon cried.
Veemon smiled. "Teach it to me."
Patamon stepped back. "Wha! No way!"
"Are you going to let TM screw around in your body forever or what?" Davis said. "If you want that Patamon we know back so badly, tell us how to do it."
Patamon looked around nervously. "..fine. I'll show you the book I found it in. If you get in serious crap, though, it's not my fault."
"Done deal!" Veemon walked up and shook Patamon's paw madly, and left for the library.
********
"CHANGE NOW!!"
Davis pushed himself up. "Harsh stuff... wait... no way!... Veemon? Where are you?"
A heavy vest fell onto Davis' head. He swept it away and looked up to see Veemon towering above him. Davis' old body stood a good 3 feet taller than his current one.
"Heeeey!!" Davis wailed. "Don't treat my jacket like that! It's my life!"
********
Davis had walked around the ship several times, his huge jacket draped over him. He was finally getting accustomed to Veemon's body. It would be better to get used to this body before he even thought about digivolving.
Yet, still, there are some other awkward moments a digimon goes through.
"Veemon!" An all-too-familiar voice called from down the hall. Davis turned to see Gatomon jogging down the hall behind him. "Did you see what was for lunch?"
What's going on here? Davis thought. This feels so weird. I can't believe what Veemon has to go through when he sees... mm... Gatomo... damn it! He's taking over my mind! This guy has some wacked-out fantasies.
Davis bowed his head. "Country-style mac and cheese. Remember?"
Gatomon gazed down the seemingly neverending hall ahead of her. "One thing about aerobic exercise that bothers me is that there's no oppritunity in there somewhere to vent built up energy. You know, 'follow the command' type stuff. You up for Q3? One on one?"
Davis sweatdropped. "You wiped us last time."
Okay, good answer, Davis thought. Keep it up and you can leave.
"How about Starcraft? Do you play Starcraft?"
Davis grinned. "Do I? NOW we'll see who wears the pants here."
Gatomon blinked. "What do you mean?"
Davis shook his head furiously. "N...nothing. C'mon, let's go."
********
Veemon bobbed his head in time to the music playing in the weight room. He groaned again as the heavy goggles on his head drooped over his vision. Scowling to himself, he brushed them back up on top of his gelled hair. As he looked around, he realized that there was not much in the weight room he had not conquered as Exveemon. He turned and tossed open the door, stepping out. He made his way across the gym and into the target range across the gym from his position.
********
Conker looked up from the table in front of him. He reached forward and took the Magnum lying on the hard wood surface ahead of him and loaded a shell into it.
"Computer. Difficulty 2."
The human posters off in the distance shifted back about ten feet. Conker raised his heavy handgun to eye level, bit his lip and worked off a shot. The round hit the poster in the side of the chest.
He tossed the gun back down on the table. "Fuck! Can never work these things...." He turned his head to the jingle that radiated from the range door. Veemon stepped in and looked around.
"Heeey! Davis! I see you've found the REAL weapons."
Veemon turned forward. "This is the shooting range, right?"
Conker squeezed off another shot at the target, hitting it in the leg. "Frick... sure is. Just grab a gun, load it up and start shooting."
Veemon blinked. "...gun?"
"Yeah, funny right-angle things that go boom. Take one and have at it."
Veemon cautiously lifted one of the many handguns off the table and examined down the barrel of it. He held it up to the shooting alley in front of him, turned away, and fired. The bullet carved through the open air and landed a direct hit on the poster's head.
Conker blinked. "Eh... try again." He tossed Veemon another shell. Veemon quickly loaded it up and fired off into space again. Another head shot.
Conker turned to Veemon. "I hate you. Good show. Is that all for now?"
Veemon slowly placed down the gun. "...I guess."
Conker slid on a pair of safety glasses. "Okay, then. Stop back in here some other time - I need some pointers." He whipped the Magnum up and fired again, landing a shot on the posters hand. "For Christ sakes.."
********
The power to switch bodies. Call it a heavensent gift, call it a bane to humanity, whatever you refer to it as, someone is going to abuse it.
After tiring of Davis' body, Veemon made his way out to the gym where Goku had just sat down for a break from his aerobics.
The rest, they say, is history.
********
Goku woke up, leaning against the gym wall. As his vision cleared up, he could see figures gathered around him.
"Davis! Are you all right?" Vegeta asked, some mystery in his voice.
Serge leaned over. "He don't look too good there."
"Someone get Ultimanium," Kid ordered. Tai hopped up from the bench a ways from the disaster scene and dodged out the double doors.
Goku slowly began to push himself to his feet, but slipped and fell to the ground again. "What the hell... why am I wearing gloves?" He reached down and grunted as he shoved himself up. He lost his grip and tumbled back to the ground again. "What's going on?!"
"You're having trouble getting up, silly," Kari chuckled. "Let me help you."
Veemon shook his head. Davis would die for that.
As Kari and Serge began to cart Goku away, Squall walked out of the weightroom. "Goku, what's going on?"
Veemon sweatdropped. "Oh.. you mean Vee.. uh, Gok.. er, Davis! Yeah, he was walking out here and he just fainted, boom, like that! Weird, I tell ya..."
Vegeta watched as the double doors slid closed. "Poor child. Well, Kakarot, since the aerobic trash is moved out of the gym for the time being, how about you join me on some sparring? I've been looking for a good opponent since we got on this trash heap."
Veemon's eyes grew wide. "Well... I.. um..."
"Excellent." Vegeta smirked. "Let's get started."
********
Patamon watched through the window out in the hall, drumming his fingers on the sill. He had seen the entire thing, but he wasn't too ready to try to explain it to the group. With all the trouble Veemon was getting into, he wouldn'tve minded just sitting back and watching.
TK flew up and perched himself on the windowsill. "Patamon! Shouldn't we go in there and do something?! Veemon's gonna get creamed!"
Patamon shut his eyes. "More Gato for me."
********
Vegeta went into his fight stance. "Stand fast, Kakarot! Here I come!!"
Veemon blinked. "Eh..."
In a split-second's time, Vegeta hurled himself across the ground of the arena and launched a volley of punches against the dazed Veemon. As if acting on Goku's reflexes, Veemon threw his hands across his face and blocked the blazing fast assault from Vegeta. As he noticed his blows were being deflected, he started throwing them harder. "What's wrong, Kakarot, have to defend your pitiful face?"
"This is SOOOO medieval." Cloud sighed.
A rocketing hand knocked one of Veemon's arms back around him. Vegeta, seeing an opening, threw his foot upwards in an elegant bicycle kick, cracking harshly against Veemon's exposed chin and sending him skywards in a flip. In a blink, Vegeta materialized several feet above him and brought a rock-hard elbow down against his back, stunning Veemon in a minute-long nerve loss. Veemon crashed straight down into the ground. Vegeta fired off a swarm of Ki blasts down at the hole where Veemon lied. After a series of violent explosions, the dust began to clear. The boarding around where Veemon lied was completely demolished.
After a long pause, Veemon fought and slowly sat up. "Ow."
********
Patamon continued watching. "Heh... that looks like fun." He looked at TK.
"Alright, man, you're not digivolving me for a while if I have anything to say about it. You go out there and fight him if you want, but if my body gets blown to shreds I'm keeping this one and Boom Bubbling you straight to hell."
Patamon stood up. "Suit yourself." He began to walk to the double doors.
TK sweatdropped. "You aren't serious."
********
Vegeta touched down on what boarding remained around Veemon and folded his arms. "..I win."
"I get the point." Veemon choked.
"CHANGE NOW!!" Patamon yelled.
A bright yellow beam flew out of nowhere and struck Vegeta in the back. Vegeta let out a long yell before blacking out, collapsing. As fast as he hit the ground he bounded back up. "Well well."
Veemon gulped. He looked at the newly rejuvenated Vegeta, and behind him, a particularly different TK.
"What the fuck is going on here?!" Vegeta bellowed. "Shiiiiiit!! I can't do a damn thing in this piddly child's body!!! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!!"
"I'll have it right back to you in a minute." Patamon laughed. "Alright, Veemon. We have powerful bodies... expansive room to fight...let's do it."
Veemon scratched his head, nearly getting his finger caught in his styled hair. "...am I missing something here?"
"Winner takes all," Patamon laughed menacingly as he went into his battle stance. "Gatomon included."
"What about Gatomon?!" Kari yelped.
TK flew in and landed at Kari's feet. "He wants to sleep with Gatomon."
"EYAAUUGGH!!" Kari screamed. She glared up at the celing, expecting to see the soon-to-be-dead TK. "TK, what is wrong with you?!"
TK sweatdropped. "Er.. Kari... there's something you need to know..."
"I know enough!!!"
"That isn't TK. You're talking to TK right now."
"Stop it, Patamon. This isn't funny."
TK sweatdropped. His love life was shot to hell now.
********
"No, really, you let me win." Gatomon laughed.
Davis sulked. "But I was trying! How did you get 12 Carriers in 5 minutes, anyways?"
"That's MY secret," Gatomon hopped off her chair. "Amateurs don't need to know such things yet." She began to head for the door. "Thanks for the game, Vee."
"No problem." Damn it, Davis thought. Wherever she learned to play... anyways. I have to go talk to Veemon. I sure hope he didn't screw around with the Change Now while I was busy.
Gatomon shoved open the door and slid out. Funny, Veemon's acting pretty different. He's almost.. polite. He's almost like when Davis talks to Kari. It's certainly great to see someone like Davis rubbing off on him.
Gatomon smiled to herself. Who knows, maybe he IS worth another shot.
********
"So THAT'S how things are right now," Kari sighed. "Sorry, TK, I didn't know the library held those kinds of things."
TK nodded, carrying his small wings along with his head. "So how about you dump Davis and go with me one night?"
Kari shuddered. "You two are both even right now.... but I can't get the image of Patamon out of my head... ugghh..."
TK groaned.
********
"So this entire thing is about Gatomon?" Serge whispered to Tentomon.
"As far as I believe, yes," Tentomon buzzed. "I was told a while ago by Hawkmon and Armadillomon that both Veemon and Patamon have crushes on Gatomon, somewhat."
Izzy shook his head. "Digi-romance, as you might imagine, is a bit more dangerous with the powers digimon have at their disposal. Thankfully, there are many more males than females in the Digital World."
Cloud looked up. "Digi-world? That some kind of new ride at Universal?"
Izzy sulked. "Forget it."
********
Veemon looked around him. "Er... Patamon? How about we put this whole thing behind us and just be friends?"
Patamon clenched his fist. "Shut up."
Agumon waddled forward. "Big talk for Hope! Patamon! What are you doing?"
Patamon froze. "How do you know?"
"TK told us."
Patamon turned around to face his old body. Agumon pointed at him. "Now."
Veemon attempted to charge at Patamon and punch him in the back of the head, but his somewhat superhuman agility caused him to miss his mark and plow straight into the wall at the opposite end of the chamber.
Cody sighed. "This is going to take him some getting used to."
Veemon bounded back into the center of the arena, Patamon finally turning around and noticing him again. "Are we ready?"
As if guided by their old bodies' inhabitants, the two semi-digimon phased off into nothingness. Everybody looked around for the disappeared combatants when an echoing crash made them all jump. Veemon and Patamon hovered in midair, pressing their lightspeed fists against one another. They disappeared again and various bangs could be heard in all corners of the room. When they rematerialized, they could be seen in the center of the arena, locked in a war of blows. Patamon jabbed Veemon several times in the face. Veemon planted a heavy kick into Patamon's face, sending him sprawling. When Veemon advanced on the incapacitated Patamon, he sprung back up, sending his boot into Veemon's face.
Karsh shook his head. "They're perfectly even."
********
Davis and Gatomon walked slowly down the hall to the pair of turbolifts awaiting them. Both had their hands on their sides, attempting to ignore one another.
Fight it, Davis... Fight it....you can't give in to Veemon's desires. That's just... icky. It's beastiality! ... well, when you think about it, it isn't, at least not physically... damn it! Davis! Get a hold of yourself!
Davis shook his head, sifting the impulses of Veemon away into the recesses of his mind.
Fight it, Gato... Fight it.. you can't give into your desires... Exveemon is all buff and all, but you're dealing with an EXTREMELY uneducated lizard who wouldn't know good sex if it dropped a missile on his head... still.... mmm... damn it! Gatomon! Get a hold of yourself!
Gatomon tried to turn her attention to thinking about Patamon. It helped, somewhat.
Both digimon... well, one digimon and one delirious human masquerading as a digimon, anyways... turned to each other and exchanged stares.
Sweet Jesus, shoot me, Davis thought.
Azulongmon, shoot me, Gatomon thought.
Before either could say anything, a loud explosion rocked the ship slightly.
Gatomon stumbled back and braced herself. "W-what was that?!"
Davis started breathing again. OH SWEET LORD, THANK YOU!!!! he screamed in his mind. "I don't know, but I don't like the sound of it!! C'mon, let's go!!"
********
Veemon dropped and attempted to sweep out Patamon. Patamon leaped to dodge Veemon's attack and dropkicked him, making him hit the ground hard. Patamon jumped and landed with an elbow to Veemon's face.
Kid reeled back. "Oi! THAT could hurt!"
Veemon rolled out from under Patamon, dodging another elbow smash. He threw his arms to the side and fired a ki blast, sending Patamon flying into a nearby wall. Veemon leaped to his feet and started pounding Patamon against the wall with his bare hands.
Both had their fists at each others' faces when a brilliant flash filled the room, and eventually the entire ship.
Davis woke up in the ship's sickbay.
Veemon woke up against the gym wall.
Patamon woke up next to Kari.
TK woke up against the gym wall opposite Veemon.
Goku woke up in his own body.
Vegeta woke up in his own body.
Vegeta and Goku just kind of stared at each other. Both of their fists were right next to each others' faces. Surprised, they both slowly turned their heads to the doors.
Ultimanium stood, a green crystal grasped in his left hand.
Cloud rubbed the side of his head. "Dispel, huh."
Ultimanium glowed red. "I give you these techniques to use, not to abuse. If I _ever_ catch anyone using any of these techniques on a teammate again, they will be on the receiving end of a Spirit Surge. Understood?"
Everybody in the room nodded slowly.
"Good. Lunch is ready."
********
The day continued regularly for the rest of the time.
Gatomon was ready to hop into her bunk for the night when she decided to do some documenting. She looked up to Kari, on the top bunk. "Hey, Kari, have you seen my diary?"
"Can't say I have. Today was a pretty freaky day, wasn't it? With TK and Patamon switching bodies and all..."
Gatomon just kind of stared at the bottom of Kari's bunk as she drifted off to sleep. The day was actually kind of cool... and to think all it took was a game of Starcraft...
Argetlahm Tech Library
Day 4, 9:13 AM
Takeru slid several books out of the small pine bookcase and dropped them on the small table in the room. The lamp hanging over the support lit up.
"Daemon Summoning and Other Arcane Arts."
"Elements for Dummies."
"Things You Mispronounce and Die."
"Ki And You - A Beginner's Guide to Blowing Things Up with Your Mind."
"Mobile Suit Engineering - Volume 7."
"Digicylopedia."
Patamon sat down on the table across from TK. "Geez, TK? What's the deal? You used to hate books. Why?"
"Just brushing up. Okay.... correct me if I'm wrong... Veemon.. Exveemon... .... "
"AeroVeedramon?"
"No, wait, that's a Mega... geez, I wish I could get through to Davis."
Patamon smiled. "But you'll always have..."
"Angemon, MagnaAngemon, and Seraphimon. Thanks, I needed that," TK reached for the nearest book to him and started reading. "Still, I wouldn't mind knowing what was in these books. There's some interesting techniques in here, you just have to look. At least that's what I heard from Ultimanium."
TK ran his finger down the page. "....Final Flash...Ancient Saiyan desperation move... a beam of raw Ki capable of destroying entire planets, rivaled only by the Kamehameha... man, some of this stuff is weird. Expert proficiency in Ki arts required. Ha, figures.. isn't there anything here that Ki newbies can use?"
Patamon tilted his head to the side. "Did you even look up Ki?"
TK shrugged. "Nah. But whatever it is, it can't be hard to get. I mean, look at all these techs using Ki. It can't be that hard to run by. Hey... Patamon.. check this one out."
Patamon hovered over and perched on Takeru's shoulder.
TK licked his lips. "Lessee... 'Change Now'. While this technique requires extreme concentration to activiate, it requires little Ki to maintain. Now THIS is more like it. Change Now is a technique perfected and copyrighted by the late Captain Ginyu. It is a beam of pure conscience that has the capability of invading other peoples' bodies and forcing their own out, sending it to the nearest vacant body, effectively switching bodies with its target. Hmm, this looks cool."
Patamon sweatdropped. "Switching bodies? TK, do you know what you're doing?"
"It can't be that bad. I mean, I can always just cast it again."
The glass door creaked open. TK looked up from his tome. "Who's there?"
Izumi stepped around the corner, in sweatshorts and a tank top, with a towel over his shoulder. "What's in here?"
"Ultimanium's personal tech library. Just checking out some weird Ki techniques."
"Ki? You mean psychic energy?"
TK looked confused. "Well.. I guess."
"You should talk to Goku about that. He knows a bit about Ki, he uses it all the time."
Patamon hopped up. "You mean all those beam attacks he uses draw off Ki?"
Izumi nodded. "Creating raw energy from scratch is most often done from burning off Ki. Basically, anyone who can create raw energy and apply it can use Ki."
TK sighed. "Uh.. yeah..."
Izumi tugged at a shoulder strap. "Or, you could go so far as to say that actual psychic energy waves are thrown forth into this dimension and given mass and converted into damaging energy."
"Oh, I think I get it now. Thanks."
"No problem." Izumi said. He turned on his heel and left the room.
TK sat and thought for a second. He got a really, really, REALLY bad idea.
"Hey, Patamon."
"What?"
"You can use energy attacks, right? Boom Bubble, Hand of Fate, whatnot?"
Patamon shook his head madly. "No way. I am NOT learning that. It's just scary."
TK stood up and spread his arms. "Do it on me."
"I'm nicer than that, TK."
"Just once. I wanna see what it feels like."
Patamon looked out the door. Everybody was training in the gym, in the range or in the workout room. "Well... okay. Just once. Then you're going back in your own body."
He pulled the book across the table over to his position. "Okay... here goes..."
Patamon concentrated on the runic writing that was inscribed on the pages ahead of him. After memorizing it, he looked up to Takeru. He closed his eyes and began concentrating, humming the runic language under his breath. After repeating the ritual for the fourth time, he was ready. "CHANGE NOW!!"
A bright beam of light shot from Patamon's mouth and impacted against TK, making them both stumble backwards from the shock. Both blacked out.
********
Davis placed the 20 pound weight back on the rack. Exveemon placed his 250 pound one next to it. Davis shook his head. "That is SO cheating."
"It's my Champion form that does all the fighting." Exveemon laughed, as he flexed momentarily. With a flash, Veemon stood where the behemoth Champion once stood.
"Heeeey!!" Veemon squealed.
Davis held up the D3 in front of him. He brought it down to his side. "Not so tough now, are you?"
Serge held a magazine in front of him as he pedelled forward on the mounted bike in front of him. "Geez, they NEVER have any good techs in here anymore."
Kid, on the bike across from him, tossed her magazine to the side. "You're telling me."
Gohan placed down a barbell. "Hey, we should try looking in that library that Ultimanium showed to us some time. There would probably be some new skills in there we overlooked."
Kari hopped off of the stairclimber and swept off her brow. "Good point. I'm going to check the place out after."
********
"C'mon, everybody! A one! And a two! Work it!" Berri shouted.
Agumon leaped gracefully into the air, and landed flat on his face.
Gatomon stopped the jumping jacks she had been ordered to do and started kicking Agumon until he stood to his feet. "Any time now!!"
Goku kept on with his. "Okay, this is a little bit humilating."
"Shut up," Berri barked. "You sit in the weight room lifting weights, you fly around this gym punching and kicking the crap out of each other all day, and you STILL never get any flexing exercises! Your muscles are crying uncle from that torture and you do nothing about it!"
Vegeta finshed his 45th jumping jack. "It worked for me before." He growled.
"Eeeeh! Vegeta! Quit sagging and get up in the air already!!" Karsh yelled from a nearby bench.
"SHUT UP, YOU!!" Vegeta bellowed.
**********
"So what really are we here for then?" Duo asked. "If we can't get our Gundams over here, we're as good as dead."
Ultimanium frowned. "That's the bad news. You have to hear the good news."
"There's no good news here," Heero said, stopping his pacing. "We can't fight."
"Well, maybe your Gundams are here. You just aren't looking hard enough."
The door of the hangar flew open. Outside, in space, sat the two Gundams, if a bit different.
"Those are huge!" Duo gasped. "No way those are the Gundams!"
"I present Wing Zeromus and DeathHarvest. Both Gundams are enhanced models of the original Gundams, ones I personally planned and consructed myself. Various enhancements have been made the Gundams' infrastructre. The reflex enhancement has been increased tenfold, and the mobile suits themselves are more agile and heavily armored than the previous incarnations of each. The Buster Cannon Mk.II is standard issue for the Wing Zeromus and the super battlestar Soul Harvest goes to DeathHarvest."
The DeathHarvest held out the Soul Harvest. It was similar to the Deathscythe Hell - two of them. The dual Hells crossed in the center of the handles to form a swatisika, with energy blades on the ends.
Both pilots sat in awe.
"Heh..." Duo smirked.
********
TK opened an eye. Funny, he didn't remember having sat down when he got hit with the Change Now. He slowly climbed to his feet and attempted to rub his eyes... but didn't get all the way. His arms were too short.
"What the..." TK squeaked. "....YAAAAUUUGGHHH!!! PATAMON!!"
Patamon slowly climbed to his feet, clutching onto the table. "Hey... TK.... where am...." Wait a minute. I can't pull myself up with my arms. Uhh... "What the... YAAAAUUUUGGHHH!!!! TK!!!"
Patamon stared down at TK. TK stared up at Patamon. Both screamed. After a lengthly 3 minute yelling spree, both began to calm down.
Takeru sat down. "Maaan... this is weird..." uncomfortable in his seat, his ears began to flap off impulse and he rose off the ground. "Heh... check it out, I can fly..."
Patamon stood in place and flapped his arms. "This is going to take getting used to."
TK eyed the D3 clipped onto Patamon's belt. Patamon quickly sheathed the digivice underneath his hand. "Don't get any ideas. I've had enough of this, let's return to our bodies, and..."
TK hopped up and down. "C'mooooon!! Just one digivolve?"
"No."
"When I get back to that body, you are sleeping on the floor."
"Point made," Patamon sighed. "C'mon, lets go."
TK... digivolv... um....
"This isn't going to work..." Patamon groaned. "one more time."
Patamon... digivolve to....
ANGEMON!!
"Whoooo!!" TK crooned. "I rock!" He tossed open the door leading out to the gym and caught Davis walking by. "Hey, Davis."
"Huh? Angemon? What are you do-"
SCHRACKK
The Angel Wand whipped fiercely across Davis' exposed face, sending him to the ground. TK cracked his knuckles. "I've ALWAYS wanted to do that."
"Angemon!" Veemon yelled. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Uh oh," TK moaned. "The jig is up."
Veemon stared at TK. "Hey, man... you alright?.."
TK sweatdropped. "Eh... yeah.. I'll be back in a minute, I have to go to the bathroom..." He quickly dashed across the open gym, throwing open the double doors and running into the hall. Patamon followed close behind.
Veemon bended down and lifted Davis' head off of the ground. "Does Angemon go to the bathroom...?"
Davis stumbled to his feet. "I guess it's open to speculation..."
********
"Do you have any idea how many people saw that?!" Patamon wailed.
TK shrugged. "It was an impulse. Sooorry." He dedigivolved and returned to his Rookie form.
Patamon slumped down against the wall outside of the gym, now theoretically possible in Takeru's body. "I'm ruined. Forget it, TK, let's go get some help. Then we'll get back to our normal bodies."
"Fine... geez, I never even got to MagnaAngemon yet..." TK sighed. He hovered back into the gym and headed for the weight room. Using all of his strength, he pushed the heavy glass door open and stepped inside. Veemon shoved him back. "Patamon, I need to talk to you."
TK tried to cover himself up the best he could. "I really didn't know what happened there... just some funny reflex, that's all."
Patamon walked up. "Veemon, we need your help. Something went REALLY wrong when I was checking out that library."
Veemon rolled his eyes. "And then the jealousy takes over."
Patamon shook his head. "No, not that. Why we're acting funny. Don't tell anyone, but we've switched bodies."
Veemon glanced between the two. "...yeeeeah.. really... 'Patamon', could I ask you to leave for a second?"
TK pointed a stubby hand at himself. "Me?"
"Yes, you."
TK struggled again to get the door open again, and he pushed himself out. The glass door closed with a jingle.
Veemon glared up at Patamon. "Batpig!"
"You little shit! Don't call me that!.... uh..." Patamon blinked.
Veemon folded his arms. "You would've said something like 'don't talk about Patamon like that', but I see it's much worse than that. You two really switched bodies?"
"...Yes." Patamon sighed. He removed the tilly hat from his head and held it in front of him.
Davis leaned over Veemon. "Maybe we'll be so KIND as to help you..." He grinned. "...but you've got to do something for us."
"Anything, anything!" Patamon cried.
Veemon smiled. "Teach it to me."
Patamon stepped back. "Wha! No way!"
"Are you going to let TM screw around in your body forever or what?" Davis said. "If you want that Patamon we know back so badly, tell us how to do it."
Patamon looked around nervously. "..fine. I'll show you the book I found it in. If you get in serious crap, though, it's not my fault."
"Done deal!" Veemon walked up and shook Patamon's paw madly, and left for the library.
********
"CHANGE NOW!!"
Davis pushed himself up. "Harsh stuff... wait... no way!... Veemon? Where are you?"
A heavy vest fell onto Davis' head. He swept it away and looked up to see Veemon towering above him. Davis' old body stood a good 3 feet taller than his current one.
"Heeeey!!" Davis wailed. "Don't treat my jacket like that! It's my life!"
********
Davis had walked around the ship several times, his huge jacket draped over him. He was finally getting accustomed to Veemon's body. It would be better to get used to this body before he even thought about digivolving.
Yet, still, there are some other awkward moments a digimon goes through.
"Veemon!" An all-too-familiar voice called from down the hall. Davis turned to see Gatomon jogging down the hall behind him. "Did you see what was for lunch?"
What's going on here? Davis thought. This feels so weird. I can't believe what Veemon has to go through when he sees... mm... Gatomo... damn it! He's taking over my mind! This guy has some wacked-out fantasies.
Davis bowed his head. "Country-style mac and cheese. Remember?"
Gatomon gazed down the seemingly neverending hall ahead of her. "One thing about aerobic exercise that bothers me is that there's no oppritunity in there somewhere to vent built up energy. You know, 'follow the command' type stuff. You up for Q3? One on one?"
Davis sweatdropped. "You wiped us last time."
Okay, good answer, Davis thought. Keep it up and you can leave.
"How about Starcraft? Do you play Starcraft?"
Davis grinned. "Do I? NOW we'll see who wears the pants here."
Gatomon blinked. "What do you mean?"
Davis shook his head furiously. "N...nothing. C'mon, let's go."
********
Veemon bobbed his head in time to the music playing in the weight room. He groaned again as the heavy goggles on his head drooped over his vision. Scowling to himself, he brushed them back up on top of his gelled hair. As he looked around, he realized that there was not much in the weight room he had not conquered as Exveemon. He turned and tossed open the door, stepping out. He made his way across the gym and into the target range across the gym from his position.
********
Conker looked up from the table in front of him. He reached forward and took the Magnum lying on the hard wood surface ahead of him and loaded a shell into it.
"Computer. Difficulty 2."
The human posters off in the distance shifted back about ten feet. Conker raised his heavy handgun to eye level, bit his lip and worked off a shot. The round hit the poster in the side of the chest.
He tossed the gun back down on the table. "Fuck! Can never work these things...." He turned his head to the jingle that radiated from the range door. Veemon stepped in and looked around.
"Heeey! Davis! I see you've found the REAL weapons."
Veemon turned forward. "This is the shooting range, right?"
Conker squeezed off another shot at the target, hitting it in the leg. "Frick... sure is. Just grab a gun, load it up and start shooting."
Veemon blinked. "...gun?"
"Yeah, funny right-angle things that go boom. Take one and have at it."
Veemon cautiously lifted one of the many handguns off the table and examined down the barrel of it. He held it up to the shooting alley in front of him, turned away, and fired. The bullet carved through the open air and landed a direct hit on the poster's head.
Conker blinked. "Eh... try again." He tossed Veemon another shell. Veemon quickly loaded it up and fired off into space again. Another head shot.
Conker turned to Veemon. "I hate you. Good show. Is that all for now?"
Veemon slowly placed down the gun. "...I guess."
Conker slid on a pair of safety glasses. "Okay, then. Stop back in here some other time - I need some pointers." He whipped the Magnum up and fired again, landing a shot on the posters hand. "For Christ sakes.."
********
The power to switch bodies. Call it a heavensent gift, call it a bane to humanity, whatever you refer to it as, someone is going to abuse it.
After tiring of Davis' body, Veemon made his way out to the gym where Goku had just sat down for a break from his aerobics.
The rest, they say, is history.
********
Goku woke up, leaning against the gym wall. As his vision cleared up, he could see figures gathered around him.
"Davis! Are you all right?" Vegeta asked, some mystery in his voice.
Serge leaned over. "He don't look too good there."
"Someone get Ultimanium," Kid ordered. Tai hopped up from the bench a ways from the disaster scene and dodged out the double doors.
Goku slowly began to push himself to his feet, but slipped and fell to the ground again. "What the hell... why am I wearing gloves?" He reached down and grunted as he shoved himself up. He lost his grip and tumbled back to the ground again. "What's going on?!"
"You're having trouble getting up, silly," Kari chuckled. "Let me help you."
Veemon shook his head. Davis would die for that.
As Kari and Serge began to cart Goku away, Squall walked out of the weightroom. "Goku, what's going on?"
Veemon sweatdropped. "Oh.. you mean Vee.. uh, Gok.. er, Davis! Yeah, he was walking out here and he just fainted, boom, like that! Weird, I tell ya..."
Vegeta watched as the double doors slid closed. "Poor child. Well, Kakarot, since the aerobic trash is moved out of the gym for the time being, how about you join me on some sparring? I've been looking for a good opponent since we got on this trash heap."
Veemon's eyes grew wide. "Well... I.. um..."
"Excellent." Vegeta smirked. "Let's get started."
********
Patamon watched through the window out in the hall, drumming his fingers on the sill. He had seen the entire thing, but he wasn't too ready to try to explain it to the group. With all the trouble Veemon was getting into, he wouldn'tve minded just sitting back and watching.
TK flew up and perched himself on the windowsill. "Patamon! Shouldn't we go in there and do something?! Veemon's gonna get creamed!"
Patamon shut his eyes. "More Gato for me."
********
Vegeta went into his fight stance. "Stand fast, Kakarot! Here I come!!"
Veemon blinked. "Eh..."
In a split-second's time, Vegeta hurled himself across the ground of the arena and launched a volley of punches against the dazed Veemon. As if acting on Goku's reflexes, Veemon threw his hands across his face and blocked the blazing fast assault from Vegeta. As he noticed his blows were being deflected, he started throwing them harder. "What's wrong, Kakarot, have to defend your pitiful face?"
"This is SOOOO medieval." Cloud sighed.
A rocketing hand knocked one of Veemon's arms back around him. Vegeta, seeing an opening, threw his foot upwards in an elegant bicycle kick, cracking harshly against Veemon's exposed chin and sending him skywards in a flip. In a blink, Vegeta materialized several feet above him and brought a rock-hard elbow down against his back, stunning Veemon in a minute-long nerve loss. Veemon crashed straight down into the ground. Vegeta fired off a swarm of Ki blasts down at the hole where Veemon lied. After a series of violent explosions, the dust began to clear. The boarding around where Veemon lied was completely demolished.
After a long pause, Veemon fought and slowly sat up. "Ow."
********
Patamon continued watching. "Heh... that looks like fun." He looked at TK.
"Alright, man, you're not digivolving me for a while if I have anything to say about it. You go out there and fight him if you want, but if my body gets blown to shreds I'm keeping this one and Boom Bubbling you straight to hell."
Patamon stood up. "Suit yourself." He began to walk to the double doors.
TK sweatdropped. "You aren't serious."
********
Vegeta touched down on what boarding remained around Veemon and folded his arms. "..I win."
"I get the point." Veemon choked.
"CHANGE NOW!!" Patamon yelled.
A bright yellow beam flew out of nowhere and struck Vegeta in the back. Vegeta let out a long yell before blacking out, collapsing. As fast as he hit the ground he bounded back up. "Well well."
Veemon gulped. He looked at the newly rejuvenated Vegeta, and behind him, a particularly different TK.
"What the fuck is going on here?!" Vegeta bellowed. "Shiiiiiit!! I can't do a damn thing in this piddly child's body!!! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!!"
"I'll have it right back to you in a minute." Patamon laughed. "Alright, Veemon. We have powerful bodies... expansive room to fight...let's do it."
Veemon scratched his head, nearly getting his finger caught in his styled hair. "...am I missing something here?"
"Winner takes all," Patamon laughed menacingly as he went into his battle stance. "Gatomon included."
"What about Gatomon?!" Kari yelped.
TK flew in and landed at Kari's feet. "He wants to sleep with Gatomon."
"EYAAUUGGH!!" Kari screamed. She glared up at the celing, expecting to see the soon-to-be-dead TK. "TK, what is wrong with you?!"
TK sweatdropped. "Er.. Kari... there's something you need to know..."
"I know enough!!!"
"That isn't TK. You're talking to TK right now."
"Stop it, Patamon. This isn't funny."
TK sweatdropped. His love life was shot to hell now.
********
"No, really, you let me win." Gatomon laughed.
Davis sulked. "But I was trying! How did you get 12 Carriers in 5 minutes, anyways?"
"That's MY secret," Gatomon hopped off her chair. "Amateurs don't need to know such things yet." She began to head for the door. "Thanks for the game, Vee."
"No problem." Damn it, Davis thought. Wherever she learned to play... anyways. I have to go talk to Veemon. I sure hope he didn't screw around with the Change Now while I was busy.
Gatomon shoved open the door and slid out. Funny, Veemon's acting pretty different. He's almost.. polite. He's almost like when Davis talks to Kari. It's certainly great to see someone like Davis rubbing off on him.
Gatomon smiled to herself. Who knows, maybe he IS worth another shot.
********
"So THAT'S how things are right now," Kari sighed. "Sorry, TK, I didn't know the library held those kinds of things."
TK nodded, carrying his small wings along with his head. "So how about you dump Davis and go with me one night?"
Kari shuddered. "You two are both even right now.... but I can't get the image of Patamon out of my head... ugghh..."
TK groaned.
********
"So this entire thing is about Gatomon?" Serge whispered to Tentomon.
"As far as I believe, yes," Tentomon buzzed. "I was told a while ago by Hawkmon and Armadillomon that both Veemon and Patamon have crushes on Gatomon, somewhat."
Izzy shook his head. "Digi-romance, as you might imagine, is a bit more dangerous with the powers digimon have at their disposal. Thankfully, there are many more males than females in the Digital World."
Cloud looked up. "Digi-world? That some kind of new ride at Universal?"
Izzy sulked. "Forget it."
********
Veemon looked around him. "Er... Patamon? How about we put this whole thing behind us and just be friends?"
Patamon clenched his fist. "Shut up."
Agumon waddled forward. "Big talk for Hope! Patamon! What are you doing?"
Patamon froze. "How do you know?"
"TK told us."
Patamon turned around to face his old body. Agumon pointed at him. "Now."
Veemon attempted to charge at Patamon and punch him in the back of the head, but his somewhat superhuman agility caused him to miss his mark and plow straight into the wall at the opposite end of the chamber.
Cody sighed. "This is going to take him some getting used to."
Veemon bounded back into the center of the arena, Patamon finally turning around and noticing him again. "Are we ready?"
As if guided by their old bodies' inhabitants, the two semi-digimon phased off into nothingness. Everybody looked around for the disappeared combatants when an echoing crash made them all jump. Veemon and Patamon hovered in midair, pressing their lightspeed fists against one another. They disappeared again and various bangs could be heard in all corners of the room. When they rematerialized, they could be seen in the center of the arena, locked in a war of blows. Patamon jabbed Veemon several times in the face. Veemon planted a heavy kick into Patamon's face, sending him sprawling. When Veemon advanced on the incapacitated Patamon, he sprung back up, sending his boot into Veemon's face.
Karsh shook his head. "They're perfectly even."
********
Davis and Gatomon walked slowly down the hall to the pair of turbolifts awaiting them. Both had their hands on their sides, attempting to ignore one another.
Fight it, Davis... Fight it....you can't give in to Veemon's desires. That's just... icky. It's beastiality! ... well, when you think about it, it isn't, at least not physically... damn it! Davis! Get a hold of yourself!
Davis shook his head, sifting the impulses of Veemon away into the recesses of his mind.
Fight it, Gato... Fight it.. you can't give into your desires... Exveemon is all buff and all, but you're dealing with an EXTREMELY uneducated lizard who wouldn't know good sex if it dropped a missile on his head... still.... mmm... damn it! Gatomon! Get a hold of yourself!
Gatomon tried to turn her attention to thinking about Patamon. It helped, somewhat.
Both digimon... well, one digimon and one delirious human masquerading as a digimon, anyways... turned to each other and exchanged stares.
Sweet Jesus, shoot me, Davis thought.
Azulongmon, shoot me, Gatomon thought.
Before either could say anything, a loud explosion rocked the ship slightly.
Gatomon stumbled back and braced herself. "W-what was that?!"
Davis started breathing again. OH SWEET LORD, THANK YOU!!!! he screamed in his mind. "I don't know, but I don't like the sound of it!! C'mon, let's go!!"
********
Veemon dropped and attempted to sweep out Patamon. Patamon leaped to dodge Veemon's attack and dropkicked him, making him hit the ground hard. Patamon jumped and landed with an elbow to Veemon's face.
Kid reeled back. "Oi! THAT could hurt!"
Veemon rolled out from under Patamon, dodging another elbow smash. He threw his arms to the side and fired a ki blast, sending Patamon flying into a nearby wall. Veemon leaped to his feet and started pounding Patamon against the wall with his bare hands.
Both had their fists at each others' faces when a brilliant flash filled the room, and eventually the entire ship.
Davis woke up in the ship's sickbay.
Veemon woke up against the gym wall.
Patamon woke up next to Kari.
TK woke up against the gym wall opposite Veemon.
Goku woke up in his own body.
Vegeta woke up in his own body.
Vegeta and Goku just kind of stared at each other. Both of their fists were right next to each others' faces. Surprised, they both slowly turned their heads to the doors.
Ultimanium stood, a green crystal grasped in his left hand.
Cloud rubbed the side of his head. "Dispel, huh."
Ultimanium glowed red. "I give you these techniques to use, not to abuse. If I _ever_ catch anyone using any of these techniques on a teammate again, they will be on the receiving end of a Spirit Surge. Understood?"
Everybody in the room nodded slowly.
"Good. Lunch is ready."
********
The day continued regularly for the rest of the time.
Gatomon was ready to hop into her bunk for the night when she decided to do some documenting. She looked up to Kari, on the top bunk. "Hey, Kari, have you seen my diary?"
"Can't say I have. Today was a pretty freaky day, wasn't it? With TK and Patamon switching bodies and all..."
Gatomon just kind of stared at the bottom of Kari's bunk as she drifted off to sleep. The day was actually kind of cool... and to think all it took was a game of Starcraft...
