Renamon x Bryan Ch. 11 Pt. 1

As they all stood there, staring at the orb of light, the four black silhouettes were getting closer to realizing as their figures could now be more easily made out.

Daniel and Natalie were standing behind Renamon and Bryan. They did not want to be in the way of anything coming from the orb that could possibly harm them, since they would be defenseless against any kind of threat. And they had no idea who the beings were that were realizing from the portal. Renamon did though, after being able to see the figures more clearly from within the orb.

Bryan however had no idea who the beings were at the time being. With this in mind, his arms became engulfed in black smoke along with an intense heat that filled the surrounding area. He was ready for whatever was coming out of the portal. But then Renamon placed a paw on his shoulder, grabbing his attention from the orb.

"You don't have to be on your guard. I know who they are, and they are no threat to us." She said to him. He looked surprised, but his arms slowly went back to normal as he asked. "Who are they then?"

Before she could answer him, there was a loud static noise coming from the orb before the figures started to exit from it.

When they were all outside of the portal, it vanished into thin air, leaving the four figures standing in the middle of the field, their backs towards Bryan and the others. But it was now obvious to everyone who the familiar people, and the Digimon, from the orb were.

One of them was a tall teen with thick brown hair accompanied by a pair of yellow goggles around his forehead. He wore a blue collared shirt with gray khakis and green shoes. The un-official leader of the old Tamers Squad: Takato Matsuki. The other human was Henry Wong, who had dark black hair with a blue tint to it, and wore a plain black t-shirt with an orange zip up vest over it, dark brown pants, and dark gray shoes. They both stood a lot taller than the Anime made them out to look, but the anime was aired ten years ago. So if the creator was accurate with their age, it would be understandable how they would be older

Standing by their respective Tamers was two Digimon. One was a large red and black dinosaur looking creature, also known as Guilmon. And the other was a small green rabbit like Digimon who was Henry's partner, Terriermon.

They all had their backs turned away from Bryan and the others so they didn't see them right away. While they stood there, Henry took his Digivice from his hip and stared at it for a minute. "So are we in Arizona?" Asked Takato who also staring at the Digivice.

"Yep." Replied Henry. "Right where Yamaki said we would end up."

He brought up a second screen on his Digivice that could locate nearby Digimon. After a second, the screen displayed not one, but two red arrows that pointed behind them. He became puzzled, wondering why two red arrows were appearing on the device. But before his thoughts could continue, he heard Terriermon shout, "Renamon!" Takato, Henry, and Guilmon all turned around and finally saw Renamon and the others standing behind him.

Bryan couldn't help but snicker and think, "Took you four long enough to notice us."

Takato and the others started to walk over to them, but Guilmon and Terriermon bolted it towards Renamon. It didn't take them long to reach her with Guilmon wrapping his big red arms around Renamon's waist and Terriermon hopping on top of her head with his floppy ears landing on either side of her head. "We missed you Renamon." Guilmon said looking up to her. Terriermon added, "Yeah, things got boring without a yellow fluff ball to mess with." Renamon just smiled and picked him off of her head placing him down on top of Guilmon's head. "It's good to see you both too."

As the other tamers reached the group, Guilmon added, "We thought we'd never see you again." while tightening his grip around her waist. Guilmon didn't know his own strength however as Renamon was losing the ability to breath over his bear hug. She started to cough from the lack of air, but she managed to get out, "Guys… a little.. help. P..please." Both Takato and Henry started to tug at Guilmon's arms, trying to pull him off of Renamon so she wouldn't pass out. "C'mon boy, let go of her." Takato grunted, using all of his might to finally pull Guilmon away from Renamon. But when Guilmon's grip on her was released, it forced him to fall over on Takato, now sitting on top of him like a dog. Terriermon jumped off Guilmon right before he fell over and landed on Henry's head. Now Takato was the one who was having trouble breathing. "Get… off me, ya big goof." He managed to get out trying to now push Guilmon off his chest. Guilmon stood up and let Takato stand up from under him. He dusted himself off whie saying, "Thanks Guilmon, and go easy on the hugging next time. You nearly squeezed the life out of Renamon with that death grip." Guilmon nodded to him. "I'm sorry Takatomon. I just really missed her."

Takato looked up at Renamon and smiled. "It's great to see you again Renamon."

"Yeah, we weren't sure when, or if, we would ever see you again." Henry added.

Renamon nodded at them. "Mmhm."

"Mind if we ask who the others here are?" Takato asked looking over at the three strangers standing next to Renamon.

"Well, going from right to left, that is Daniel…" Daniel said "Hey." as he slightly waved at them.

Renamon continued, "Next to him is Natalie. She is Daniel's friend." Natalie stood against Daniel's arm with a smile. "You know it!"

Then Renamon looked beside herself. "And this is Bryan. He is… my new Tamer."

"It's good to finally meet you two." Bryan said shaking their hands.

"Likewise" Henry added. "We've been wanting to meet you since Rika told us about you."

Bryan's smile quickly disappeared when they mentioned Rika. "Oh yeah? What has she told you about me?"

Then they all heard a beeping noise come from Henry's Digivice. He took it off of his hip and looked at it, seeing one solid arrow and one rapidly blinking arrow. The second arrow seemed to be blinking at a very unusually fast rate, something none of the Tamers had ever seen before.

"Huhm… I don't understand why my Digivice is acting up." Henry said. "It was doing this when we first came out of that portal. It recognizes Renamon because I set it up to locate her type of data, but now it seems to be picking up another Digimon's data. And it's having a hard time doing so."

Bryan thought that Henry's Digivice was picking up on his data, since Bryan was a Digimon himself.

But when he was about to explain to the other two that he was a Digimon, Takato said, "Maybe its picking up on the Digimon that realized around here last night like Yamaki told us." Bryan raised an eyebrow to Takato. "Wait… A Digimon realized here? Last night? I don't remember my Digivice going off." Hearing that made Bryan completely forget to tell them that he was a Digimon.

Then he looked over at Renamon. "Did you sense a Digimon at all last night Renamon?" She shook her head while saying "No I did not."

"Tell us more about this Digimon, but let's head back to my place. I have no idea how someone would react to seeing us all standing here." Takato and Henry nodded and everyone followed Bryan as he led them back to his house.

And as they all walked through the park, Henry started to explain everything to Bryan. "Neither of our Digimon picked up on it either." Henry said. "Even Hypnos had trouble picking up on the Digimon's data. And the only reason they picked up on it was because Yamaki had most of his tracers sent to locate Renamon after Rika told us that you two were located somewhere in America. After a quick sweep over, he picked up on her data and started to pinpoint where she was exactly. But as he found her here in Arizona, he also saw a very unstable Digimon realize very close to where we all are now; somewhere around the center of this park to be exact. So we asked Yamaki to send us to where Renamon was, and he agreed to open a portal that would send us near where the Digimon realized into the real world. And now we are here."

"Hmm… Interesting." Bryan sighed as they walked down the park's walkway towards his home.

While all of that was going on with the tamers, a shadow lurked up in a thick tree just above where everyone had just been; simply watching them all until they disappeared from the being's sight.

"I just simply cannot believe my eyes. All of the Tamers are in the same place now. How convenient this is for me. Now I can kill all six of those pesky birds with one stone." The familiar looking being snickered to himself as he hopped down from the tree; his long blond hair now hanging freely from under his jacket. "But how will I smite them all? My data hasn't completely gotten used to being in this word yet, so my powers are virtually non-existent." He thought to himself. "Guess I'll just have to find a way of dealing with them that is of this world." With that, he vanished from sight, leaving no trace of his presence at the park.

He reappeared a few miles away at a small outdoor shopping mall just outside of Surprise that he had seen earlier in the day. The mall was loaded with people as he walked through the mall, looking for a shop that would have anything he could use to eliminate the Tamers with. He passed many shops with no luck in finding anything worthwhile. That was… until he saw a store named "US United Weapons"

"Huh…" He thought, entering the small shop.

The store was very dark inside due to the black paint that covered every wall. If it weren't for the lighting, people would consider it to be a cave.

There were various weapons throughout the whole store. It had nearly everything you could think of; from advanced bow-and-arrow systems to little wooden sling shots for kids. He browsed the entire store for some sort of weapon, but none of it would fit his needs. If he was going to kill all of the Tamers and their Digimon, he needed something… fast. Something that he could hide easily from plain view, but it had to be able to kill quickly and efficiently. It seemed, however, that his search was turning into a total flunk. That was until something caught his eye. He paused near the back of the store looking up at a wooden sign being suspended from a single chain rope with "GUNS" carved into the large piece of wood. He continued past the sign to find many types of firearms. He past may glass cases filled with shotguns, sniper rifles, assault rifles, and more. But they were all too big for him to hide easily. But then he saw a glass covered display case with "Pistols" on a small sign in front of the display. He saw the small objects laid out perfectly on the shelves within the display case and walked over to them, inspecting all of them thoroughly.

He had never seen such things before. His dimension didn't have anything like it. Well, there was no need for them back in the Digital World. Everyone had powers that exceeded any kind of weaponry that this planet had to offer. But since his powers hadn't come back yet, he had no choice but to get some kind of weapon from this world if he was to kill his targets.

As he inspected the pistols, a tall and heavy looking man walked out from behind a counter. He had thick, braided brown hair and blue eyes that hid behind a pair of glasses with tape around the nose support. He had a bad complexion as well, his face nearly covered with bad breakouts and freckles. He wore a small red collar shirt which didn't completely cover his big beer-belly and gray shorts which looked way too small for his stature.

The husky man said, "How can I help you today Mr. …?" while readjusting his glasses to his face.

The blonde haired one from another world hadn't thought of a name yet. So he had to quickly come up with a common human name, since his real name wouldn't make any sense here. "My name is Keith. I'm looking for something small that can… terminate some little pests quickly and effectively."

"Do you mean those damned rabbits that have been roaming around here lately? Those lil' bastards've been all over the place like a bad rash."

Keith nodded. He couldn't really say that he needed the gun to kill people with it.

"Ahh, I see. So you need something…" He bent over and pulled out a small box out from under the cabinet of pistols. "…like this." He finished opening the cardboard box exposing an all-black handgun with a brown stock cover. The gun laid upon navy blue fabric next to some small boxes of ammunition, each box holding twenty-four .45 caliber rounds.

"This is a Colt M1911 Pistol, in mint condition if I might add. It is, like, the most awesome gun ever made man… It's a very common pistol in America, an older gun which is still made to this very day because of how well it works. It uses .45 caliber bullets that should stop whatever you're shooting at. In other words, those rabbits won't stand a chance against this thing."

Keith picked up the gun and looked at it curiously before asking, "Can you give me a quick rundown of how this things works?"

"Of course bro." The heavy man said taking the Colt from Keith. He told him how to put the rounds into the magazine, how to load the magazine into the actual pistol, how to put a bullet into the chamber, and how to switch the gun into its safety setting.

After the tutorial on how to use it, he placed it back in the box, along with a couple more magazines and a few more boxes of ammo to make a complete starter kit.

"This should be all of it. Now I just need to see some ID and your gun license so you can buy this gun." The man said about to close the box up. But Keith grabbed his wrist, twisting it until it finally snapped under the pressure. The man screamed at the top of his lungs, yelling, "What the hell man? What's your problem?"

"Sorry… bro." But I had no intentions on buying this weapon" Keith said with his eyes turning back into their original neon red pools and a demonic grin appearing on his face. And then the heavy man began to become thinner and thinner with every passing second. Gradually, he became a skinny man, but it didn't stop there. Soon enough, the once husky man was now a skeleton with skin. He was choking and coughing severely from the lack of air, tugging on Keith's arm to try and get free; but to no avail. Then in an instant, the man turned into a big pile of black ash, just like what happened to the person's dog back at the park. The man's cloths slowly falling on top of what was left of the man, just a smoldering pile of ash.

Keith started to laugh picking up the gun and ammunition and placing it all underneath his gray jacket. "Well, thanks for your… ash-tonishing help, but I think I'll be leaving now." He walked away from the counter with his newly obtained weapon and a growing smirk on his face. "This is gonna be… very…. very….. interesting." And so once more, he disappeared into the shadows of the store, leaving the pile of ash in total silence.
