Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Freak: Taming D ❯ Transformations! Confrontations of the past ( Chapter 3 )

Transformations Nightclub. September 6, 2:30 P.M.

It had been two days since D encountered the Tamers and Renamon had yet to answer his challenge.

`Ether more fields opened up and they're too busy,' he thought, `or she's still a puppet that can't fight.' He then suddenly heard his door open. `I thought I locked…' His train of thought was interrupted when he saw three kids in school uniforms. "Club's closed kids." He said. "So unless you have something important or are here to kill me, come back tomorrow, when it's open."

"We're here for the later." One of the male members said.

"Very well, but the two of you in the back, drop the human guises." Dracula said. "It wouldn't be fun if you looked like that." He said as he moved in front of a black pillar. The two demons in the back smiled wickedly as they dropped the guises. The woman turned into a three-eyed demon while the man turned into a scaly, three horned demon. "How `bout you horned breath? Come on." D said as the scaly demon rushed after him ready to punch his head off...

*CRACK*

…if he didn't move away from the pillar just before the fist would have connected to his head. The end result is the fist hitting the pillar, and being distracted. Not from the pain, but wondering where his prey went.

*WHAM*

He should have looked behind him, because Dracula hit the lizard like demon so hard in the back of the head with an open hand chop, he passed out.

"Next?" He said with a wicked smile. The female demon however, wasn't smiling as she looked at him with intense hate.

"You… YOU HURT DARIEN!" The demoness said. "I'LL KILL YOU!" She then rushed after him with two long boned claws out of each arm ready to tear him into two. He just jumped and went behind the bar and splashed the woman with Vodka.

"I hate to hurt a lady, but you and your friends are interfering in something that's bigger than any of us." He said as she was trying to get the alcohol out of her eyes. Just as her vision cleared up, Dracula pointed his palm at her face.

"DRAGON'S WRATH!" He said as a flame came out of his hand, and on to the alcohol soaked woman, causing her to burst into flames.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She said. Dracula then called off the flames when she passed out. Dracula than turned to the human, and gave a smile that almost had him wet his pants.

"Y-YOU WIN MAN! THIS AIN'T WORTH IT! I'M OUT OF HERE!" The human said as he ran like hell.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING KID?! WE WERE JUST GETTING STARTED!" Dracula yelled to the running gang member. He then turned around and saw the knocked out gang members already gone. `Probably a teleportation spell.' He though. `Just wish I knew where though.'

Nonaka Residence, 4:17 pm…

Rika looks outside and sees Renamon doing various kicks, and punches, and attacks to dummies she made, all of them have black hair and drawings of fangs.

`This is ridiculous.' She thought. `We have more important things to worry about, like other Digimon coming out of a digital field, not some hocus pocus horror geek.' Truth be told though, that fight did get to her though. But she won't tell anyone, not even her self that.

"He-ya!" Renamon yelled as she kicked off the fifth dummy's head. `He made a fool of me. Made me look weak.' She angrily thought. `I know where he is. That card has the address on it. I will find out what his weak point is. Then, and only then, I will show Blood Eyes what I am capable of.' She thought. `Blood Eyes? Where did that come from?'

Transformations Night Club, D's room/Office, 12:45 am…

To some, sleep is a welcomed thing. It's a way to recharge one's batteries or to refresh one's energy. For others, it's bliss. Tonight, for Dracula, it's both. He has to get up early to get the club set up for another weekend, and he has to keep his eye on the Tamers, particularly the puppet master and her puppet, for it takes one kink in the chain to cause a bike to go into the shop. His room is one of those rooms where you can tell its his. Black. That's what it was all over. Black title for the floor, black sheets for the bed and headboard, and black for the fridge.

However, the `Puppet,' as he called her was hiding in the shadows of his room. She steps out a bit to inspect her surroundings and is walking so quietly, you could hear a pin drop from a running mouse.

`He seems to like black a lot. Not surprising, seeing its his favorite…' Renamon then shook her head. `Where are these thoughts coming from?! I don't know anything about this man…' She then went to his bed, looking down right at him, not even breathing, `…yet he's so familiar to me.' Just then, an arm quickly and forcibly grabbed her arm. It was Dracula, and he was awake, blood red pupils, fangs, and all.

"If you wanted to know anything about me, all you had to do was ask." He said with a smile that would scare the devil. He then pushed her away and threw off the covers and was ready to fight. "Well, well, well. Renamon's here and I'm wearing nothing but a pair of black briefs. Must be having one of those dreams again."

"Why you…!" She said mad at his comment. She tried a sweep kick, but she missed as he jumped. She looked up and saw him on the ceiling… but nothing was there that should hold him up. "W-What kind of human are you?"

"The not human kind." He said with a smirk. He then disappeared from Renamon's sight. She then realized what was coming. `He's going to grab me.' She thought. Sure enough, D was about to grab her by the neck from behind with his arms to take her down, but she grabbed his arms first and slammed him hard…

*WHAM*

…on to the bed.

`How did she knew what was coming?!' D thought.

`I knew what he was about to do and where he was going to come from… how?!' Renamon thought. `What the hell is going…' She couldn't finish the distracting thought as Renamon was knocked down thanks to a sweep kick from D. He then stuck out his palm as it started to glow.

"STATE OF DREAMS!" He said as Renamon passed out. "I don't know how you knew my attack…" He said as he went to the cupboard and pulled out some blue dust. "…but it's obvious that you're still a puppet. However, I don't think your puppet master knows you're here, other wise she would have used one of her cards, so kudos on your part." He then went right up to her face. "But, if you and her are going to get along, then you two will have to understand each other. And, as a special bonus, you'll be a vampire as well, seeing as it's the only human type transformation dust I could get, so you'll understand me a little more." He then blew the dust on her. She then transformed into a woman in her mid twenties with long dark hair, and blue eyes. Dracula just looked at her… and recognized her instantly. "No… It can't be! NOT HER!" He then vamped out again and screamed to no one. "WHY?! HAVEN'T I'VE BEEN PUNISHED ENOUGH?! WHY?!"

**************************************************************** ********

Nonaka Residence, 1:30 am.

Rika woke up when she heard something. She then nearly screamed when she saw a dark haired woman next to her.

"W-Who are…?" She asked, but D interrupted her.

"Don't tell me you don't recognize your own Digimon when you see her." He said with a smirk. But, even though most of his face looks normal, even Rika could see something different in his eyes. "I bet her reaction to the new you will be the same thing."

"What?" Rika asked.

"Simple." Dracula said as he brought out some more dust. "I used the vampire version of this to turn her into what you see in front of her, seeing it's the closest thing to a human transforming dust the dealer had, and I'm going to use this one to turn you into a Renamon. The dealer was so kind to share her secret to making this stuff. This is the only way you and your Digimon will understand one another. There's something coming, something that's bigger than you or me and if you two haven't learn how to fight as one, then we're all screwed."

"You can't do that!" Rika said. "My mom and grandma will know something's…"

"Nothing's wrong Rika." Her grandmother said suddenly appearing, surprising Rika. "Dracula is an old friend of the family, he even took care of your mom while your Grandpa and I were out of town on several occasions."

"By the way Icho, thanks for the powder recipe." Dracula said, shocking Rika even further.

"You're welcome." She said. He then blew the powder into Rika, causing her to pass out as she slowly transformed into a red Renamon. Icho then got a good look at Renamon. "Isn't that…?"

"DON'T!" Dracula said trying to keep his composure. "It is her, but I do not want to loose it. Not now. I need you to do something for me. I'm taking my trip in two days to the former site of Shrigana. Normally, I'd ask Sinji this, but he and his girlfriend are visiting relatives starting tomorrow, so can you take care of the club for me?"

"Of course." Icho said. D then gave Renamon's still unconscious body another look.

"I wish we didn't meet again like this… Natsumi." He said as he lost the battle to fight the tears before he left.

`That poor man…' Icho thought. `The burden he carries to make up for his past… and the burdens he's facing to save our future… all because of that damn prophesy. Any normal human would have caved under these conditions… and I won't for the life of me understand how he keeps going. May what ever is causing him to do so never stop.'

**************************************************************** *******

Transformations nightclub, 1:37 a.m.

Dracula is up in his room as the tears come full force.

`Why? Why is my past coming back to haunt me this way?! Haven't I atoned yet?! I'm not that man anymore, so why?!' He then stops to think about something. `After tonight… I don't think I want to face the past alone.' He then went to his phone. `Great Kami, I know it's late, but I don't want to do this alone.'

**************************************************************** ********

Rina Isagi's House, 1:39 a.m.

*RING*

*RING*

`Who in their right minds would call me this early?' Rina thought as she was forced awake and picked up the phone. "Whoever's calling me, why couldn't you wait until I was out of my pajamas and awake?" She said. Then she heard the voice. "D? Why are you…? You're going where? WHERE?! You want me to…?" She then started to feel the tears in her eyes because she knows where he's going all too well. "But… I know its where we everything changed for us but why do you want me to… Certain events? What events? You can't say? What is with you and secr… Ok, ok, I didn't mean to joke about that."

`Oh Lord, he wants me to go to where it all changed… Maybe its time that I settled some of my own demons.' She thought.

"All right, I'll call the school and tell them something's come up." She answered. "I'll see you in a couple of days. Bye." She then hung up and started to cry.

**************************************************************** ******

Transformations Nightclub, September 8, noon…

Dracula put his weekend bag on the back of his black Yamaha motorcycle and put on his fingered gloves just before handing the keys to Icho. He looked behind her and saw a pissed Renamon.

"Renamon, I told you, the spell will wear off when you and Rika understand one another." He said. `Although, right now, I wish I never did it in the first place.' He then thought.

"Humph." Renamon said. "The only reason I'm not fighting you right now is because I'm not used to this body yet. It's the same reason Rika isn't out here right now." She then looked into the club's upper window and saw Rika looking down, scowling at D.

"Look, there's something that's bigger than you or me or Rika and until you guys learn how the other feels, then you're not going to be able to help your friends fight it." D replied. Renamon didn't answer but turned her head away. He then faced Icho. "The CDs I want you to play until I get back are marked." He then put his cane in his bag, put on his helmet and got on the bike. "Thank you for doing this."

"Not a problem Dracula. Good luck." She said just before he started the bike and left for Rina's.

"Good luck?" Renamon asked.

"It's a long story." Icho said.

**************************************************************** ********

Transformations Nightclub, September 8, 9:00 pm…

At the club, Icho watched the kids have a good time and served them drinks, while Renamon and Rika were watching from D's office.

"I can't believe I'm a piece of data." Rika said angrily.

"Being human is no picnic right now." Renamon said with her normal cold tone. "Well, he said the only way out of it is if we understand one another."

"But what does that mean?" Rika asked.

"We'll find out later." Renamon responded. "However, now that you're a Digimon, there will be other Digimon after you and you need to train tomorrow." Rika just wasn't pleased.

"What ever." She said as she looked around. She then saw that Dracula left his computer on. "Hmmm… seems Mr. Horror here left his computer on. Maybe there's away to remove the spell."

"Rika, that's not ours." Renamon said.

"Do you want to stay like this for ever?" Rika said. Renamon then pushed her out of the way and Rika told her how to open files. There was this one file they noticed right away. "Entry1."

"This might be it." Rika said. They opened the file and saw that it wasn't what they were looking for, but…

"This is his journal." Renamon said. "We can't read this."

"Why not? It'll give us some more information about him. We might even find something that can help us beat him." Rika said.

"Very well." Renamon said. She didn't want to do this, but Rika had a point. They then started to read.

TO BE CONTINUED IN "DRAGON OF THE SWORD: THE JOURNAL OF THE REAL DRACULA"

**************************************************************** ********

I'm going to stop writing "Taming the Freak" for now for the next story will be "Dragon of the Sword: The Journal of the Real Dracula," which will explain D's past. Don't worry. Once its over "Taming the Freak" will continue.
