Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Connections Revealed ❯ A Friend In Need ( Chapter 4 )

The Howling Wolf's writing den….

Impmon: Alright where is he?

Guilmon: Who're you looking for Impmon?

Impmon: that stupid Howling Wolf. He's into his second story arc and I haven't been in a single chapter once.

Suddenly music plays (Eric Bishoff's wwe theme). Howling Wolf walks in.

Howling Wolf: All right Impy. If you want in the story then you got it.

Disclaimer: I do not own digimon or any of its characters.

A FRIEND IN NEED….

Impmon looked on with interest as he watched Takato sit outside Guilmon's old shed. The purple digimon had stopped by the shed numerous times during the past week only to find that Guilmon was no longer living there. Curious as to happened, Impmon had decided to watch Takato closely. `I don't know why I'm botherin' to watch pineapple head's tamer. The dumb dino probably took my advice and just ran away.'

Takato had stopped staring at the clouds the moment he had sensed a digimon nearby. Without even looking, Takato grinned as he realized who the digimon was. He shouldn't have been surprised. He knew that Impmon often came by to borrow some bread from Guilmon. Why the rude little rookie was watching him was a bit of a puzzle for Takato. Deciding that his curiosity had to be satisfied, Takato turned his head in Impmon's direction.

"What do you want Impmon?"

"Lucky guess goggles. So where's the pineapple head? Did he finally get smart and leave you?" sneered Impmon.

Takato growled as something swished behind him. Impmon paled as he saw a tail appear behind Takato. And the human was growling. At him. Slowly backing away, Impmon decided it was time to leave. Takato watched Impmon leave and then noticed something brushing against his leg. Looking down his eyes widened. `Oh great. My tail is back. Man, I really need to learn how I do that.' Takato thought as he leaned back against the shed.

"Takato."

Takato looked up to see Yamaki standing in front of him.

"Yamaki, what is it?" asked Takato.

"I've managed to find the original creators of the digimon program. They called themselves the Monster Makers ironically. With their help we should be able to find a way to stop this digimon sovereign's plans. They're…" Yamaki stops and stares at Takato for a moment.

"Takato is that a tail I'm seeing?" he asked.

Takato nodded glumly. "It keeps popping up. What do you need me to do for these `Monster Makers'?"

"Just have your friends meet us at Hypnos tomorrow. Now come on, let's get you back to the apartment." Yamaki said.

As they left the park Impmon watched the two humans curiously. `Yep something is definitely goin' on here. And I think it's time I found out what.' Thought Impmon as he followed Takato and Yamaki.

The digital world…..

Makuramon and Indramon left the castle of the digimon sovereign in silence. The sovereign was not pleased that another of his mighty devas had been defeated.

"It is unthinkable that our brethren could be defeated by mere children." Indramon said.

"But defeated they were. And one of those `mere children' as you put it could now be more powerful than the sovereign." Replied Makuramon.

Indramon laughed. "A human more powerful than the sovereign himself. Don't be ridiculous Makuramon.

"Oh this human is definitely stronger than your sovereign."

Both devas turned at the new voice.

"Who are you?" demanded Makuramon.

"I am Mephistimon. I have a proposition for you two. My master wants this human. Help me get him and in return I shall aid in your quest for the catalyst." Mephistimon said.

"I think not. Come Makuramon, let us continue our quest." Indramon said leaving.

Makuramon watched his comrade leave, but remained where he stood. Three devas had already fallen to this human. Makuramon recognized the threat of the human even if the others didn't

"How can you help us?" he asked.

Mephistimon chuckled. "Simple. Your catalyst is friends with the humans. I have study them and I know where the best place is to strike."

"You had best be right about this." Said Makuramon.

The real world….

Impmon stared into the window of Yamaki's apartment. He was still confused as to why the goggle head was no longer living in his bakery. (A.N. Impmon doesn't know what happened to Takato's family.)

"What are you doing here Impmon?" Renamon asked appearing next to him.

"Gah. What's it to you fox face?"

Renamon grabbed Impmon by the neck and held him up at eye level. She had come by to check up on the young tamer when she found Impmon. As far as Renamon was concerned Takato did not need Impmon adding to his problems.

"I suggest you leave this place Impmon." She said.

"Oh yeah? Well what if I don't wanna?" Impmon sneered.

"Then I'll make sure that your data is spread out so far that no one will be able to absorb it." Threatened Renamon.

Paling, Impmon struggled out of Renamon's grip. Dropping to the ground he hastily backed away from the apartment. Not wanting to bother with Impmon any more, Renamon merely watched him go. Looking at Takato one last time before returning to Rika.

The next morning…

Henry frowned as he and Rika awaited Takato outside the Hypnos building. Takato had rung them last night, informing them of Yamaki's plan.

"Argh. Stupid goggle head. It was his idea that we meet here early. And it figures he would be running late." Ranted Rika.

"Take it easy Rika. Takato will be here." Henry said.

"Actually he's Already inside waiting for you." A familiar voice said.

"Dad what are you doing here?" asked Henry.

Mr. Wong sighed. "You'll find out soon enough Henry. Now come on, your friend Takato is waiting for you."

With a frown Henry followed Rika and his dad into Hypnos.

Meanwhile Impon was reliving the stress from his encounter with Renamon the only way he knew how. Tormenting humans. He had done this several times before, but today he was finding no enjoyment in it. Trying to decide whether or not he should continue Impmon heard several of the humans scream in terror. Impmon grinned. Anything that could scare humans was something that Impmon wanted to meet.

Running over to where the screaming was coming from, Impmon saw humans running from a digital field.

"Well dis looks worth investigation." He said.

Back at Hypnos Takato and the other tamers were following Mr. Wong to one of the top floors. Henry couldn't help but wonder why his father was at Hypnos. Rika kept her eyes on Takato, who merely followed Mr. Wong silently.

"So Mr. Wong did Yamaki find every one?" asked Takato.

"Yes, but it wasn't easy. Even with me helping him." MR. Wong replied.

"Helping him with what dad?" questioned Henry.

"Bringing all of us together again." A tall black man said.

"All but one of us remember, Curly." Commented an Indian woman.

"Kids meet Curly and Babble. They're two members of our old group the Wild Bunch." Janyu.

"You mean yours friends from college?" asked Henry.

"That is correct Henry. Your father gathered his friends here at my request. Since the Wild Bunch was there at the beginning they might be able to help us." Said Yamaki.

"And we'll certainly try Yamaki. Now where's this boy you want us to meet." Said Daisy.

"Standing right in front of you. Takato meet the Wild Bunch aka the Monster Makers." Introduced Yamaki.

Takato slowly shook each of the Monster Makers' hands. He wondered how Yamaki thought they could help. Before he could ask Riley came running into the room.

"Yamaki we've got another wild one." She gasped.

"Looks like we've got to go goggle head." Rika said as she headed to the exit.

"Guess I'll talk to you later. C'mon on Henry."

Janyu was about to call out to Henry when Yamaki stopped him.

"But they're just children." Protested Janyu.

"Yes, but those children right now are our best hope. Especially Takato."

Back to Impmon….

Indramon glared down at the small rookie that stood before him. He was about to walk past the pest when he felt something hit his skin. Looking down Indramon saw the rookie prepare another attack. Impmon grinned as he fired another fire ball at Indramon. Here was chance for him to download some data for himself. Once he did that he would show Renamon a thing or two.

"Badda Boom!"

Indramon laughed as the attack hit his skin with no effect. "Is that all you can do?"

Impmon growled as he concentrated. There was no way that he was going to let this digimon beat him.

"Infernal summon!" A fire ball five times the size of Impmon's normal ones raised up out of the ground.

Indramon was unimpressed with the attack. This rookie was more annoying than his was interesting. IT was time for him to end this farce of a battle. Rising his huffs Indramon stomped Impmon into the ground. Again and Again. Impmon screamed as he was pounded into the ground by the giant ultimate. Suddenly Imdramon was thrown off Impmon. The injured rookie looked up to see an angry knight digimon standing before him. He noticed that Renamon and Terriermon were now beside him as well. "Impmon are you alright?" asked Renamon.

Impmon struggled to stand up. Not an easy task as his data kept fizzing in and out of stability. "I'm fine fox face. Now let me at `em."

"Stay back Impmon. This deva is mine." Gallantmon said.

Indramon stared at Gallantmon and frowned. "You. You are the one that has defeated my brethren. And now you defend this worthless digimon. A digimon that has the stench of humans about him."

Renamon looked down at Impmon questingly.

"What're ya talking about?" growled Impmon.

"Simple. You still smell of humans." Answered Indramon.

"Whatever he smells like you won't be harming him or anyone else again." Gallantmon said.

Indramon pulled his horn of desolation off his back. Gallantmon ready himself for the attack, but Indramon merely smirked. Making a sudden turn, Indramon blew the horn right at Rika and Henry.

"Horn of Desolation!"

"NO!"
