Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 4 - How to Build an Army ❯ Chapter 5

Chapter 5

The eleven humans were sitting in a circle, the experienced four sharing their knowledge with the younger seven. The ten digimon formed their own circle a small distance away. The attack on the humans was more effective for them. The seven digimon weren't as filled with mortal terror as their partners were. And as such, Veemon was still taunting Ozlimon and Demireumon about beating them. They were taking it as a good sport, but quickly tiring of his remarks.

"Why don't you have a digimon?" Mitzy asked Izzy. Yolei and Kelryn went silent, Kovin looked to the ground.

"I did." He said. "He was killed." Mitzy understood he was hurting a bit, but she thought talking would do him good.

"What was his name?" She asked. Her friends were also interested.

"That's not important."

"Ok. Then do you know who killed him?" Kovin and Izzy exchange glances. They stared for a long time.

"Yeah, I do." Izzy said, not moving his gaze. His voice was tight and clenched, holding back rage.

"How many times can I apologise?" Kovin asked.

"You can bring him back." Izzy said as he stood. He drew one of the guns they used earlier.

"What happened to 'I don't use guns!'?"

"What happened to my digimon?!" Izzy cocked the gun, Kovin drew both his swords.

"Boys! Stop!" Yolei went to Izzy, and Kelryn to Kovin pulling them both out of a fight before it started. Mitzy felt she was responsible and went with Izzy. Some of the others had questions for Kovin.

"Did you really kill Izzy's digimon?" Sara asked.

"Yes, I did." Kovin said it with no hesitation, and no remorse.

"Why?"

"Those were different times, and we were all different people. Me most of all." Kovin sheathed the blade in his left hand, and walked off twirling the other.

"You must be a good friend to step in." Sara said to Kelryn.

"I'm a bit more than a friend to him." She said. "If that happens again, don't try and stop Kovin, okay?"

"Why?" This seemed to be Sara's word of choice. Kelryn reached into her backpack and retrieved an apple. She threw it at Kovin as hard as she could.

"Heads up!" She yelled. He spun and lowered himself in one motion. The momentum of the blade cut the apple and send its two pieces off. He kept rotating and sliced them again into four pieces, all before they hit the ground. The six children were staring and the shred fruit with slack jaws. Yolei came back and saw Kovin continuing to walk away.

"Apple trick again?" She asked.

"Why do you guys keep that psycho around?!?" David asked.

"He's a walking blender!" Tyler said.

"Well," started Yolei. "We keep him around because he's a psycho, and a walking blender. Not to mention his digimon can turn into a Concorde."

"He also has other virtues." Kelryn added.

Mitzy followed Izzy around a grove of trees, and down a small hill. He was still fuming mad. Tentomon wanted to follow her, but she waved him off and mouthed the word 'later'. He sat down with his back on a big tree and took out his laptop.

"Are you alright?" Mitzy asked, in Japanese. Until now everyone had been speaking in English since they got to Canada.

"I didn't know you spoke Japanese."

"A little."

"So, are you alight?" They were back to English

"I will be."

"Why did Kovin kill your digimon?"

"He didn't, neither did Ozlimon. He hit back out of reflex, not anger or attack. But it was enough."

"I can't imagine anyone doing that to my Tentomon." Izzy fought back a tear. She didn't know that her Tentomon used to be his. Mitzy changed the subject as a point of tact. "Nice laptop." It took Izzy three seconds to clear his mind and reboot in geek-mode.

"Yeah, I got a special line of the Athlon processor on it. 512K of L1 cache." Mitzy hit him playfully.

"They only made five hundred of those! And they were never on the market! You do not have one!" Izzy hit the button to send his laptop to its bios screen. She couldn't believe her eyes. The machine was reporting 512K of L1 cache. "Well mine at least has a meg of L2. And 512 megs of DDR ram." She pulled out her green laptop, matching Izzy's.

"Nice background." He said, sarcastically.

"Hey, shut up. So I like fractal art." Mitzy reached across Izzy to see some of the software he had installed. After a few seconds she pulled her hand back, and not-so-accidentally let it trail over his leg. He looked at her in surprise, but saw a different emotion coming from her.

After thirty minutes to let people cool down, Kovin came back. Everyone was in much better spirits. "Where'd Izzy go? And Mitzy?" James asked.

"I'll get them." Said Yolei and she walked off toward the grove of trees. She rounded the corner and blinked her eyes in a double take. "What the fuck?" They hard her scream. She started walking back.

"What's going on?" Kelryn asked. Yolei walked up to Sara and the others.

"Your little Mitzy is one hell of a lady. She's back there getting it on with a gay guy." There were several surprised gasps and comments. No one thought that Izzy was gay, and they all thought Mitzy was.

"Izzy is gay?" David asked.

"Not anymore." Tyler said between clenched teeth. It was obvious he had some feelings for Sara.

"Not only is he straight," Kovin said. "But damn good at it. He scored with a chick he's known for eight hours." Izzy and Mitzy came back to much congratulations and catcalls. Kovin turned to the digimon.

"You know I can still kick your feathery butt." Veemon said to Ozlimon. The tiny owl turned to Kovin.

"Can I?"

"Sure." Kovin said. "We have to get back tot he airport, and I don't want to take that stupid boat.

"You think you can take me?" Ozlimon said to Veemon. Kovin silently got everyone's attention. "Just let me get ready." Veemon stood back, expecting Ozlimon to stretch.

Ozlimon warp-digivolve to ... Aeromon

To 50 tonne owl glared down at Veemon. He just stood stock still, and faded a lighter shade of blue. When he started quivering Aeromon opened his beak and let out a horrendous screech. Veemon fell to the ground, picked himself up and ran behind David.

"He's gonna eat me!" Everyone, digimon and human couldn't breathe from laughing so hard, except Veemon.
