Thread: Digimon World: A New Adventure (MysticSparxman & OstrichFromJoust)

Erica had run forward as Monodramon leaped up to attack, moving to support her partner. As the shockwave went out and sent dust flying everywhere, her hands went up to shield her face from the cloud. As it cleared she looked back, eyes widening as she saw what happened. The girl had gotten in front of Lunamon, defending her from the blast. He hadn't been aiming to really do damage, so she hadn't been hurt, but still. This girl didn't even know this thing and had put it before herself. Erica gritted her teeth, mind racing as she saw them hug, Lunamon thanking her. Was she wrong? Was this Digimon really supposed to have a partner? She gasped, looking down as her face started to turn red when Brianna scowled at them, scolding them for attacking. You don't know what could have happened, she said, mostly to herself, but perhaps loud enough to be heard by them. All of the other Digimon they'd seen were violent, fighting them and just trying to wreck things. She and M had to stop them from hurting people, all this time she didn't think another one could come through that would want to help, that a human would partner with. She looked up again, and the proof that she needed appeared out of a light, forming into Brianna's hand. It was a Digivice, a different shape than her own but serving the same purpose a physical representation of the bond between tamer and Digimon, to connect them and let the human support their partner. Shit, they really are partners, Erica said, Monodramon moving away and back to her. I, I didn't know, he said, ears folding back a bit as he felt slightly ashamed. Erica just wanted to apologize, but she wouldn't get the chance. Lunamon's water energy slammed in front of them, Monodramon jumping in front of Erica to shield her. After it hit and they recovered, Brianna and Lunamon were long gone. Erica gave a sigh, slipping her hands into her pockets and turning to walk back to the car. Hey, Erica, it's okay, Monodramon said, hurrying after her and trying to cheer her up. They got back to the vehicle, M hiding in the back as she sat in the driver's seat, not starting it, just thinking. M, I just ordered you to attack without even thinking. She gave us no reason to hurt her, and I didn't even consider she might be telling the truth about the partner thing, she said, leaning back in the seat. Monodramon gave a sad smile, putting a clawed hand on her shoulder. You were doing what you thought was right, and I went with you. I've always got your back, he said, Erica turning to return the smile. Their moment was cut short as Monodramon quickly shot his head to the left, growling again. Her gloves started to glow, a sign that another Digimon was appearing nearby. Damn it, she muttered, looking at the screen. It was pretty close by, she could leave the car here. With Monodramon in tow, she locked the doors again and started to run, keeping out of sight by moving into the tree line as they went. They got to a building, Monodramon's nose and her Digivice telling them it was at the top. A quick elevator ride later, the two stormed out of the small box onto the roof, ready for it. A large portal was on the roof, light pouring out of it as something emerged, forming into a small black ball, with hands and feet and a lightning bolt on its head. Erica's Digivice scanned it, the screen popping up to tell her it was Thundermon. She was hesitant to do something, until the Thundermon laughed loudly, floating up and sending out bolts of electricity around it. All right, pretty sure he's not here to find a partner. Time to redeem ourselves, M. Get him! she shouted, Monodramon nodding and rushing forward.
