Case 25 - A brother’s puzzle: The last shard!!

[AO3 version]

With the warnings given by the 02 Team and Koushiro, Yamato got a little way more concerned than usual. Takeru asked everyone to not tell Yamato that he was also a victim of those bad guys before, knowing very well who his brother is capable of doing.

Would someone spill the beans and tell Yamato? Not really, at least not from the younger kids or the rest of the older six.

He knew there’s two kinds of digimon running around and brainwashing people, giving them shards of a wicked and forbidden Digimental. He knew Sora, Taichi and Joe were victims, and that almost Mimi was the next. What would happen if someone else… Someone…

“... Takeru.”

“?”

Yamato had called Takeru for a drink at a coffee shop. Patamon was with Takeru, of course. But Gabumon… Was actually at Koushiro’s server, and talking with them via Yamato’s phone.

“...” Yamato wanted to ask him about something, but he faltered.

“What is it?”

“ ‘I want you to be careful.’ is what Yamato wants to say,” Gabumon spoke via the screen.

“Don’t worry, they can’t catch me or the others” Takeru smiled, “We don’t have strong negative feelings or desires at the moment.”

“But…!!”

“I’m with Takeru and I promise I won’t let anything bad happen to him!” Patamon said with a serious yet cutesy gaze on Yamato and Gabumon.

“I’m counting on you, Patamon” Yamato then gave the digimon a pat.

“Leave it to me~”

“Did you catch that digimon who forced Sora and Piyomon to fuse-evolve?” Then he asked Takeru and Patamon. Takeru could notice that he stopped the pats on Patamon and grabbed his latte. Took a sip, and then looked again to his brother.

“Uh, no?” Patamon replied with a frown.

“But you don’t need to worry about it,” Takeru added quickly, “We will find them and retrieve the last two shards before someone else turns into a victim.”

“... How about Arsenemon? He got 10 of those. There’s nothing saying he won’t use them on you or on others.”

“Um… Arsenemon is a weird case” Patamon explained, “He has gathered ten fragments of the Digimental, but he… Didn’t use them at all.”

“Yeah,” Takeru nodded, “He told Daisuke-kun we wouldn’t believe him if he told us his true intentions with those shards.”

“I understood,” Yamato said, thoughtful.

“... Daisuke-kun wants to ask him what he plans to do with them though,” he added, trying to keep the conversation going on, “Though he has been acting strange lately.”

“Daisuke?” Yamato raised an eyebrow; he took a sip of his latte again.

“Yeah, first he was fired up about catching Arsenemon, but since he met a new student called Noel Leblanc he’s… Not much interested in it anymore.”

“Hm??” Gabumon blinked.

“Ichijouji-kun suspects Noel-kun had created Arsenemon, but Daisuke-kun gets a little defensive when we check Noel-kun’s background…”

“A human-made digimon… Like Chimeramon, or Arukenimon and Mummymon…” Yamato took another sip.

“He said he knows Catherine, the French Chosen Child who I met six years ago… But… It sounded a little off too.”

“... Stay safe then, if you think this kid is suspicious.”

Yamato finished his latte and then got up from the table. He took his phone and put it in his pocket. Then, “I have to go now. I have classes now.”

“Oh ok, so please stay alert and don’t let those digimon come after you. And don’t do something reckless.”

“Same to you.”

“...”

Daisuke was a little… strange indeed. He just felt like he had done something bad but why?

“I caught you now, and you will give me those shards!!”

“My, why don’t you ask yourself if it is a good idea keeping me captive right now, mon ami?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!!”

“Your friends are in danger, monsieur Motomiya. And I’m the only one able to save them right now.”

“...”

“Daisuke…” Lilymon had called him, “Aren’t you…”

“Ack, I don’t know! Lilymon please let him go. I got a bad feeling…”

“But…”

“Just… Trust me, okay?”

“Alright…” she had snapped her fingers and the vines and flowers magically had turned into dust, freeing Arsenemon.

“Oh? Are you really letting me go?”

“Save them. Like, now. I don’t care about that stupid shard, just save Wallace and Gummymon. Stop them before they hurt someone.”

“Alright, mon ami. I will grant you that wish.”

Arsenemon had left in a blink of the eye.

“...” Now, Daisuke was full of regrets. But… Deep down, something said it was the right choice.

“You’re too quiet,” V-mon commented.

“... Sorry, I… I was thinkin’ about…”

“Is it about Arsenemon?” the digimon said, while they headed back home, “You think Ken is right about Noel?”

“... I don’t think Ken is right, he’s just accusing Noel without proof. Like, who cares if Noel is a distant relative of some famous writer??!”

“Said writer made a character called Arsene too, it’s… suspicious, don’t you think?”

“Noel wouldn’t make something like this, he’s not a guy like… The old Ken, ya know?”

“Maybe Arsenemon is not a bad guy,” he heard someone’s voice coming from the back. He and V-mon looked back, and saw… “Ah I’m sorry I heard you by accident...”

“Since when you were behind me, Noel?” Daisuke blinked.

“I just… I just came. Sorry, I wanted to talk about something with you.”

“Something huh…” V-mon blinked.

“... About Arsenemon.”

“?!”

“So, you made him, right!?” V-mon babbled, Daisuke immediately covered the digimon’s mouth.

“H-huh??”

“Don’t mind him, he ate too much sugar today!” Daisuke babbled, “T-then… What do ya want to talk about him…?”

“I think he’s not a bad guy…” Noel began, “I mean… It’s just a gut feeling.”

“Yeah, he kinda… helped us out before and before, and he said to have a reason for catching those, something he claimed we wouldn’t believe him…”

“And why would he think you guys wouldn’t understand his reasons?”

“Beats me” he uncovered V-mon’s mouth and shrugged, “I think he’s just a weirdo.”

“A… A weirdo…?” Noel gasped.

“What, don’t ya agree?”

“Or are you implying you know something we don’t?” V-mon squinted his eyes at the French boy.

“O-oh… No, I… I never thought of him that way…” He seemed sad???

“... If you…” Daisuke started, quite hesitant, “If you were to make a digimon, like, if you could make one… You wouldn’t make one to hurt others, or… us, right?”

Noel blinked, “Uh… No? Why would I do that…? Humans shouldn’t create digimon, they shouldn’t play a god role…”

“... Ah Alright. You’re right, this would be bad.”

“But Oikawa…” V-mon frowned, “Oikawa did that… And he wasn’t bad.”

“... You’re right… But Arukenimon and Mummymon said their only purpose was to destroy the Digital World… Though… I think it was because of Vamdemon’s influence, if they…”

“A human shouldn’t mess with the power of creating digimon life” Noel sighed.

“... I think Arukenimon and Mummymon would’ve been good digimon if they had the chance…”

“?!!” Noel gasped in silence.

“The Digimon Kaiser made a legit bad digimon without a single mind, so I don't think Chimeramon would be redeemed. However…”

“You think I made Arsenemon, right…?”

“No, I…”

“It’s okay… You don’t need to defend your thesis. Actually, I--”

Daisuke’s phone rang and he gently asked Noel to wait a moment, so he took it from his pocket and answered the call. It was Koushiro.

“I’ve detected one of those fragments. I sent the details via email, please check it.”

“Oh, right! I’ll check my inbox right now, thank you!” and then he hung up, opened his email inbox and then the most recent message on it.

Noel frowned, he didn’t want to be interrupted like this… Daisuke then smiled.

“It wasn’t activated yet!!” Daisuke cheered “It’s not that far from here…!! We can catch that Impmon before they use it on someone!”

“Um, Daisuke-san I…”

“Uh, sorry Noel. Can we talk later? This is important, we might get a fragment and stop those pranks!!”

“O-ok… See you later, I suppose…” And then he watched Daisuke and V-mon leave quickly.

“...”

Noel fixed his bangs, and he glanced in the direction Daisuke and V-mon went with his green eyes.

“... Maybe I should be going too…”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, Naito will murder me if I don’t find that fragment before those humans and their digimon--!! Where did I put it?! W-where-- HUH?!”

Impmon just found Ken with the said lost shard in hands.

“Oh, maybe I could--”

Stingmon appeared behind Impmon, and tried to catch him. Impmon screeched and left his hidden spot in panic “AAAAH W-WHAT HOW DID YOU--”

“I know you would be there,” Ken had the same Digimon Kaiser glare at the digimon.

“G-give it b-back!!”

“No, because I know you want to use it on someone else” he smiled, then he put the shard on his pocket from his coat, “Now you will show me where’s the last one, or…”

“Or what, you punk!?”

Ken snapped his fingers and Stingmon charged his spikes to execute a Spiking Finish attack.

“AAAAAAAAH!! I do-- I do tell you but please don’t hurt me!!” They replied in panic.

“Then… Where is it?”

“W-with Dracumon…!! I don’t know where he is though, don’t ask m--”

“Spiking…”

“AAAAH H-HE WENT AFTER O-ONE OF THE CH-CHOSEN CHILDREN!! PLEASE DON’T KILL MEEEE!!”

“One of us…?” Ken raised his eyebrows, this meant something was not right.

“Ken!!” Daisuke called him, meeting with the other. Just by doing this, the eyepatched Impmon managed to escape, “Huh, that Impmon--”

“Easy,” then Ken showed him the shard, “They lost the fragment and we found it first thanks to Koushiro-san’s tracker.”

“That’s Koushiro’s power for you!” V-mon grinned, “But they left…”

“Yeah, but there’s one more problem…” Stingmon said.

“What is it?”

“Dracumon has the last piece” Ken explained, “And is after one of us.”

“Man… Alright, it’s easier if we let this Dracumon spot one of us first than start looking for it.”

V-mon, Ken and Stingmon looked at Daisuke in awe.

“What? Did I say something wrong?”

“No, that’s… better than nothing,” Ken shrugged.

“H-Hey, I’m really trying to think how we can get that piece BEFORE that thief! And before someone gets hurt too.”

“He’s still upset with those meanies for using Takeru,” V-mon explained.

“Not just Takeru… I meant everyone so far!!”

“Alright, let’s gather the others, and try to track the last one.”

Arsenemon was there, hiding… And starting to not trust those kids to solve any major problem, so he used his magic to write on thin air the list of possible victims according to what he eavesdropped from the boys.

“Hmm… One of them… This means it can be either one of the young ones, or one of the older ones.”

“Would they use someone else again?”

“Hmm… They wouldn’t target the younger ones, because they’re attacking them indirectly…”

“And mademoiselle Tachikawa has returned to her current home overseas… Hmm…”

“Ah, could it be…!!”

Yamato was going home, still worried about Takeru, and also about Sora. He was well aware Taichi and Joe were also victims, and his blood was still boiling. He was almost going after that Impmon! Almost…

Suddenly, he stops in front of a hooded person. Still wary about the events, he brings Gabumon to the scene by opening his phone and accessing Koushiro’s server. Gabumon popped out from the screen and stood in front of that human.

“I’m not an enemy,” the hooded person said. Then they showed Yamato one of those forbidden shards, “I know you can use this for good. I can offer you… Protection against that Impmon.”

“Offering me one of those like them?” Yamato flipped, and this was what the little shard needed to be activated.

“That Impmon… Attacked your brother, didn’t you know?” Then, Yamato and Gabumon saw that smile under the hood. By the shock, Yamato couldn’t move, and then the hooded human put the Digimental piece in Yamato’s hands, muttering “Make them all pay for hiding this little secret from you, and get rid of that Impmon.”

“...”

But mysteriously, Noel managed to witness the scene. And he left in a hurry.

The group was all gathering at the usual karaoke booth, checking the network and the radar program Koushiro made… When suddenly… Someone knocked on the booth’s door.

Ken opened the door, but he realized no one was there… Until something almost hit him in the face. He dodged a card which was pinned on the door by one of its edges. Ken also managed to get to see someone hiding behind the wall of the corridor section -- Was it Noel? -- he thought.

The fine pretty black card with its back filled with a golden cat paw caught Ken’s attention. He took the card from the door and closed it. He showed the new Calling Card to the others.

“W-what!? Already!?” V-mon exclaimed.

“I think I saw Noel Leblanc too,” Ken explained.

“Maybe he was told to deliver it!” Daisuke quickly tried to defend Noel, enough to make the others wince, “It doesn’t matter. What does it say?”

“It says… He’s going to retrieve the fragment from… Yamato-senpai.”

“WHAT!?” They all exclaimed.

“But why Yamato?” Takeru babbled, “Oh no… It must be that Dracumon you mentioned before…!!”

“We should not waste time,” Tailmon said with a serious glare, “Miyako, have you caught anything on the radar?”

“Ummm… I think yes, there’s something near the area of the university Yamato-senpai attends.”

Then, they left the booth, but… For some reason, Daisuke caught something suspicious and went after it. Again, V-mon was left with Ken and the others… Was Daisuke just being reckless lately?

Yamato was not found. Instead, there was this dark armored digimon -- Plutomon. The 02 Team could sense this meant Yamato and Gabumon fused into that digimon, or Yamato used the fragment in himself or in Gabumon.

“When would you tell me… That that Impmon hurt Takeru?”

They definitely heard Yamato’s voice coming from that digimon.

“Isn’t that Plutomon?” Patamon asked, “This is no good…!”

“He definitely sounds like Yamato-senpai” Miyako frowned, then looked at the group while clutching her digivice, “What should we do?”

“YAMATO!” Takeru screamed, “Please stop! I’m fine now!”

“... You lied to me.”

“... Everyone, let Hikari-chan, Miyako-san and I deal with this.”

“But why Hikari and Miya--” V-mon was about to ask, but Takeru interrupted him:

“Trust me, I know what I’m doing.” Takeru looked at them with a smile, “I will save my brother from himself.”

“If you say so…” Armadimon shrugged.

After finishing evolving, all the digimon went to their positions -- Ankylomon and Stingmon were there to shield the kids, Silphymon and HolyAngemon were on the battlefield and ready to fight. It was when they realized… V-mon came all alone.

“EH!? Where’s Daisuke!?” V-mon looked around quite panicked, “D-did we get separated!?”

HolyAngemon knew what was Takeru’s plan, so he and Silphymon attacked Plutomon immediately. Plutomon shielded and even repelled Silphymon’s Top Gun and Dual Sonic attacks. They had to find a way to approach Yamato (?) immediately!!

“Daisuke’s not here…” Miyako frowned, “This means we can’t use Paildramon to hold Plutomon and let HolyAngemon get closer…”

“No, he can evolve without Daisuke,” Ken explained, “That’s how I evolved him before, remember?”

“That’s right…” Iori nodded, “Ichijouji-san was who evolved V-mon and Wormmon into Paildramon when we had to fight Wallace-san.”

“... Can you do that?” Takeru asked out of the blue.

“You don’t want us to use Imperialdramon, right?” V-mon spoke, “Well, we can use Paildramon instead, we won’t hurt Yamato or Gabumon!!”

“Thank you, V-mon.”

Once Paildramon was in the fight, they used their cables against Plutomon the moment the opponent was simultaneously attacked by Silphymon once again. Plutomon dodged Silphymon’s Dual Sonic again, but got trapped by Paildramon’s finger-cables.

“NOW, HOLYANGEMON!” Takeru screamed.

“HOLY DISINFECTION!!”

HolyAngemon approached very quickly and used his holy aura coming from his hands and touched Plutomon’s head, and then, he removed the shard on the chest of the armor, undoing the fusion between Yamato and Gabumon, but falling unconscious. HolyAngemon and Silphymon catched them before they hit the ground and gently put them on the floor.

The digimon devolved back to their usual standard forms. The kids approached Yamato. Ken put his hand on Yamato’s wrist to check the man’s pulse.

“He’s fine, just passed out.” he looked at Takeru, “He and Gabumon might just need to rest for a while.”

“...” Takeru looked at Yamato sleeping.

“Ah! You got it…!!”

They heard Daisuke’s voice from the distance, and glanced at the other:

“Where were you, Daisuke?!” Miyako and V-mon snapped.

“Oh… I… I was after Arsenemon, he was inside the karaoke building.”

“He was there!?” The others exclaimed. Daisuke just nodded his head.

“But why was he there, dagya?”

“Beats me” he replied with a shrug, “The moment I almost caught him, he vanished in thin air like magic.”

“Hmm…” Ken mused.

“Oh, you got our 10th shard!” Daisuke looked at Takeru’s hands, “Now all we have to do is take the other ten back from Arsenemon and we will finally… What do we plan to do with them though?”

“We will find a way to seal them away from everyone else,” Ken explained.

“Yeah, that sounds good.”

“I thought that was obvious,” V-mon blinked, “Like, what else would we do with them? If they’re cursed and the Digimental itself has a price to pay for its power…”

“O-oh… Yeah, that was a stupid question.”

“Are you okay?” Hikari frowned, “You seem strange…”

“Haha, I’m fine no worries!” Daisuke laughed, “Then, we should send this right to Koushiro-san while we’re plannin’ how to snatch the other ten from that sneaky thief!”

“Yeah, we’re about to do that,” Patamon replied.

“Daisuke…” Ken looked at his best friend for a moment.

“Huh? What is it, Ken?”

“Nothing… Let’s go.”

With 10 fragments for each side… The Chosen Children now are about to witness something unexpected…

Something Ichijouji Ken cannot stop in time.

other than daisuke, ken, and mimi, who do you think speaks good english? and who don't?

(it was weird to me that koushiro didn't speak as good as i imagined. i remembered he got really nervous when hikari asked him to speak english at hongkong. being in front of the computer and internet helped me a lot with my english, so i expected the same for him. moreover, he got that mysterious american friend! but i guess in the hongkong case, it was more because he was shy—not because he couldn't. and i think he got better in tri?? i totally forgot.)

also if you have digidestined language headcanon, feel free to share! :) we know ken speaks spanish, miyako is learning it, and takeru is most probably learning french in college...

Jobs - Digimon Epilogue Celebration

I will speak about Yamato and Sora because #YOLO

Sora and Yamato

First: this video shows exactly what kind of life Sora and Yamato have. Ok.

Now under the cut because #LongPost

I think it was difficult for Sora, Yamato and Taichi to admit to each other their decision about what to study, even if they weren’t really sure yet when they started college. This generated some issues between them. It was evident that each one had already made a decision, but neither knew what the others had decided. Until one day they had kind of an argument, the three of them, in which they ended up shouting their choices.

Sora didn’t enjoy it, because she realized that Yamato and Taichi were choosing for the sake of the "world" and she was choosing for herself.

Sora was surprised at Yamato's decision, but she didn't need him to explain anything. She immediately understood what had led him to it.

Yamato had long known that Sora liked to design, and she was in the sewing club. Sora calmly explained that she wanted to design kimonos, traditional things, and Yamato couldn't be too surprised. It was her same old Sora.

I think Yamato had it more difficult to explain to others in general because, although everyone understood that he did it for the space digimon (and also because he’s so smart), several people feared for his life. In space, Yamato and Gabumon would be alone, not with all their friends and other digimon. Of course it would be more dangerous than what they were used to. But this does not mean that they didn’t accept his decision.

The opposite happened to Sora. There were close people who thought that Sora could give more, and who thought that she was making that decision to somehow satisfy her mother, or out of insecurity, believing that she could not give more than that. She showed them how wrong they were very soon :)

I know that their universities are canon now but bear with me because I already had this planned and haven’t been able yet to check how the canon universities disrupt my headcanons:

I think they both entered the university they chose. Yamato went to the University of Tokyo (he studied aeronautical engineering before going to the army) and Sora to the National University of Fine Arts and Music in Tokyo (is this a women college?). Yamato then entered the Japan Self-Defense Air Forces and did his internship / training at the Air Defense Missile Training Group in Chitose.

Koushirou was the most excited to hear about Yamato’s choice. Jou may have helped him study. And I imagine Takeru excited just because he is Takeru haha.

Mimi was very excited about Sora but she was also sad, although after some conversations that sadness gave way to an euphoria that was irrepressible. Neither Toshiko nor Haruhiko expected that decision in Sora, but when the three talked and she explained her need to make art and transmit her traditions, the Japan she loves so much, and mix them with her adventures, the understanding was immediate. Both were very excited for her.

Daisuke is one of Sora’s models 100/100 canon.

By they way: Mimi didn’t finish university but she tried a lot of different paths and did a lot of fun stuff and rocked it forever.

Puits D’Amour Sneak Peek

Puits D’Amour (a suggestive French pastry, well of love) is my upcoming Sorato royalty/bakery + coffeeshop AU that keeps threatening to expand out of control. You can read the initial blurb here. I’ve been developing it more, and I wanna blab about it beneath the cut.

So the basic premise is that Yamato’s father is the king of not-Japan, and his mother was a princess of not-France, now the queen of not-Japan. They married to solidify peace between the warring countries, and they had two kids: Yamato, crown prince, and his younger brother, Takeru.

The brothers spent a lot of time in not-France as a sign of goodwill, but as Yamato grows older, his presence is required in not-Japan, where he will one day rule. This is not good news to our boy, who would frankly rather be a normal guy in not-France, sipping coffee on walks in the country side and studying. Tough luck, dude D:

His return to not-Japan becomes a public spectacle, much to his dismay. Yamato ducks into an alley to escape the press, opens the first door he finds, and steps into the kitchen of a bakery, where he finds a young woman making delicacies from his childhood...

It started out so simple, but I keep finding myself thinking... Yamato needs someone to talk to on his trip! How about Jyou, a third-born son of an aristocratic family of doctors, who wants to help the community, but doesn’t have the stomach for medical procedures? He’s Yamato’s childhood friend, and utilizes his medical knowledge, planning/organization skills, and connections to make sure local doctors and hospitals have the needed supplies and information wherever Yamato travels. He knows he’s riding Yamato’s coattails- “the prince’s personal doctor/medical organizer” isn’t really a job- but the truth is, he does good work. And who else is going to remind Yamato to smile and try to keep his cool during horrible royal events?

And, naturally, a bakery can’t be run by one person, no matter how skilled. Sora needs employees, like Mimi, her star bakery cashier/waitress! Mimi practically runs the city’s gossip mill, especially among the students of the nearby college, and draws business with her looks, her conversation skills, and her bright personality.

Of course, I want a tight story- but suddenly, l realize that Taichi could make coffee and serve food, Hikari could sell flowers and help bake... I could even throw Eimi in, baking when Sora practices ikebana with her mother, and Koushiro as a customer (who is occasionally roped into helping out- I love the image of Taichi just walking up to him and throwing an apron over him when they’re slammed).

And, of course, all of my fics have a theme. I’ve decided that, for Puits D’Amor, I want to explore the concept of taking care of yourself today, even while you plan for tomorrow. That’s something I really struggle with, pinning my efforts and energy on future goals at the cost of today’s happiness. Obviously, working for a good future is amazing, but all we have for sure is today. This message is championed by Sora, who runs her dream bakery, even while planning to carry on her mother’s ikebana school someday.

I’m already dying at the thought of Yamato as a prince- he’d be so unequipped for it, lord. And then I catch myself wondering- bakery, royalty, coffee, flower shop? Just what kind of nesting doll/AU Frankenstein am I trying to make, here? And by the time I introduce all these characters it’s gonna be a proper novel. Maybe I should, um, try to trim it back while I still can?

I have no idea when I’ll start it! Or how it will actually go! I feel like all I’m really doing is gripping the feeling of comfort in a bakery run by lovely people: good food, hot drinks, good company. More appealing than ever, with... You know, everything.

Anyway, does this even sound interesting? Maybe I’m getting swept up in them cozy feels? What do you think, would you read it?

Digimon Kizuna: Last Evolution (spoilers)

So I just watched Digimon Kizuna: Last Evolution in German (in the cinema), and I have a couple of comments: (spoilers below)

- Overall, I enjoyed the movie, but the ending was just weird. It was definitely meant to make me cry, but also, it was already subtly hinted that this wouldn’t be how it all ends up, and we also have the 02 epilogue that tells us that they’ll get their partners back so... I don’t see the point of the ending. It’s just disappointing and needlessly sad. - Butterflies are evil. - Don’t go Frankenstein. He’s not a role model. Making your own Digimon is not a good idea unless you do it with colouring pencils. - Being a genius child definitely sucks. - Can you imagine Menoa going for Ken and trapping him in his childhood; I think his rage would have made her “Neverland” explode right away. - Dark Water equals Dark Ocean equals Depression. - Yamato still doesn’t trust adults even though he pretty much is one at this point. - The DigiDestined share one braincell and Ken, Yamato, and Koushiro have joint custody. - “Well this was a little too easy,” says Ken. NOTHING EVER COMES OF IT! - Koushiro’s eyes are still without light, so well done, animation team. - Well done also on the German Voice casting team - someone paid attention enough to hire the season 1 and 2 narrator for Takeru. - That said, I think Daisuke’s voice is still in puberty. - Way too few scenes with the 02 kids but I love them, and I miss Iori. - Still more scenes than in tri, but that’s not hard. - But! They remember the global DigiDestined! There’s Rosa! There’s the French girl! Wallace! (I think I saw a Ryou, but I also think that I probably imagined that). They even remembered Meiko, which I didn’t expect. - There’s a French little girl with a Numemon as a partner who left a bunch of tiny poos in front of the Eiffell Tower, and I love her. - The background animation is hilariously abysmal. - The foreground animation is nice, though! - They translated 4 (!!!) songs into German, and I love them for it - now I just need to find them somewhere so I can listen to them on a loop. - Agumon wants an icecream. Get him his icecream, right now!! - I want to finally get back to my fanfiction because I really, really want to write it right now, but I still have to finish the introduction and conclusion to my PhD. I might have more thoughts later on, but that’s it for now!

Takari Week, Day 5 - Taichi and Yamato Step In

In which Taichi and Yamato try to help, they really do. Written as part of @takariweek

When it came to the hearts of others, Taichi had a habit of being hopelessly oblivious. Despite being his oldest friend, Sora’s mood swings and eccentricities confounded him. And It had taken years to connect Koushiro’s habit of spacing out and sudden interest in basic fashion with Mimi’s return from America.

There were a handful of confessions he had received, from women purporting that they ‘always seemed to find themselves in the same places’. Taichi had no idea who any of them even were.

So if even he was noticing something, it had to be bad.

And lately, Takeru and Hikari were acting different, even he could see that. In public, they now stood a bit further apart than they used to. He’d come back to his childhood home one day to find them on the couch, sitting as far apart as the parameters of the furniture would possibly allow, faces red.

He’d even seen Hikari lie, telling Miyako she’d been alone, when really, he’d seen her talking to the blond. Had his little sister become ashamed of her once closest friend?

Clearly they were trying to hide it. Perhaps they didn’t want anyone to worry, but something was decidedly wrong between the pair of them.

An emergency visit to Yamato’s apartment followed. His blond best friend had noticed something similar, and the two of them started scheming on how to set things right.

Sora had called them idiots, and told them to stop messing with their siblings.

That wasn’t something Taichi was willing to do. Hikari and Takeru had been friends for a decade. They starred in each other’s favorite memories. There was no way Taichi would let Hikari throw away such a precious friend.

Thus, he and Yamato went straight back to scheming, despite Sora’s disapproval.

The next weekend, Tachi stopped by to take his sister out on a ‘surprise brotherly outing’. She was a little suspicious, but came along without too much fuss. After getting the go-ahead from his co-conspirator, Taichi ‘remembered’ he needed to stop by Yamato’s place.

Hikari, of course, was to kind to reject the Yamato’s offer to come inside, and before she could protest Taichi managed to shove her in the guest bedroom (where Takeru had been waiting obliviously) and slammed the door, using his back to barricade it.

“Taichi? what is going on here?” She asked.

“What’s the big idea?” Takeru asked as well.

The door handle jiggled, but Taichi and Yamato threw their weight against it. “There’s no point hiding it, we know you’ve been fighting lately.” Taichi explained.

“And we aren’t letting you go until the two of you make up.” Yamato added.

“You think we are fighting?” Hikari asked incredulously.

“Yamato, I know you and Taichi like to pass time by arguing with each other, but Hikari and I are more civilized.”

The older blond let out a grunt. “You aren’t going to fool us that easily. I’ve noted something off about the two of you for months.”

“Fine!” Hikari cried, “Takeru, I hereby apologize for every imagined slight and nonexistent insult I threw your way. I will take full responsibility for this fight that probably happened in an alternate dimension.”

“No, no. I could never let you do that.” Takeru returned. “Why, the fault is all mine. I really should have known that our brothers have the emotional intelligence of a spoon and would have invented this fantasy argument. Blame me.”

“Ok, I’ll blame you.”

There was a beat before Takeru responded. “Wait you aren’t actually blaming me, are you?”

“I’m just saying there are many ways I could be spending my Sunday that don’t involve being locked in a room with a third-rate writer wannabe with nothing to do.”

“That’s just cold.” Takeru said, and Taichi could have sworn he heard Hikari squeak. “Fine; there you have it, we made up. Can we go now?”

The door pushed against Taichi’s back again, but he did not budge. “You really expect us to buy that?” the gogglehead asked back.

“Maybe?” Hikari responded.

“It’s true Taichi, we already kissed and made up. You better open the door quickly or who knows what might happen. If we stay here long enough, today might just be the day Hikari loses her virginity.”

“Takeru!” Hikari shot, “You can’t just say that!”

“You could have at least tried to play along.” Takeru deadpanned.

“I’m not one of your floozies, I’m not going to just sit here and pretend to have sex with you.”

“Wow Hikari, ‘floozies’? These are living beings we are talking about. Besides, everything my ‘floozies’ and I do is one-hundred-percent authentic.”

“You keep telling yourself that. It wouldn’t be the first time you thought a girl was having a better time than she actually was.”

“And what is that supposed to mean?”

“Hideto’s party, last year? Ring any bells.”

“Oh, come on, it wasn’t that bad. Besides, I had to stay”

“Ah yes, the foreign exchange student was there and you and her were the only ones who spoke French. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel.”

“There were no fish and no barrels-”

“But I bet you were a quick shot.”

“Excuse me?! Come on Hikari what is this about.”

“Like you don’t know.”

“Know what.”

“You spend all this time buttering these girls up, and then when you inevitably break their hearts the blame me. And I’m the one who ends up dealing with the fallout.”

“….And?”

“And it sucks. You think I enjoy it?”

“Hikari, one of your suitors literally came after me with a knife.”

“It was plastic!”

“He still could have taken out my eyes.”

“Maybe if he did I would have gone out with him.”

“Hey!”

As the two were fighting Yamato took advantage of the situation to move away from the door, collect the TV and Gamecube, and returned as they set up a game of Smash. They were going to be here a while.

The fight swung in and out over the game music, although if their siblings noticed they made no verbal indication. Takeru and Hikari fought on more numerous topics than Taichi actually thought they talked about.

Taichi had never know about Takeru’s apparent rivalry with Miko, their old decrepit cat, and Hikari had more than a few choice words for the hats Takeru had sported over the years. The two seemed to argue about everything and anything.

Perhaps this was why Taichi had never seen them fight before, they had just bottled everything up, until they could take it no more. If that was the case than they really needed to get this out of their system.

“-and I had to spend the rest of the science fair pretending I hated magnets, or else you would look stupid! Who hates magnets? Their cool, they make things float.” Takeru complained.

“Oh. My. God. That was eighth grade! Who even cares anymore?” Hikari returned.

“No one hates magnets Hikari, it stands out. Do you know how many people still mention that to me to this day? Do you?”

“Zero?”

“That was a rhetorical question.”

A new face popped around the corner, eying Taichi and Yamato, still pushed flush against the door, playing their tenth round of smash while their siblings’ raised voices occasionally broke through.

“What’s going on here?” Sora asked.

“We decided to have them sort it out.” Taichi said “It’s either going really well, or horribly.”

“Well.” Yamato said confidently. “They clearly needed this.”

“You locked them in a room together?” Sora asked stifling a laugh. “You don’t even realize what you did, do you?”

Taichi and Yamato looked at each other. What had they done?

Yamato attempted to pacify his girlfriend. “Come now Sora, I know you didn’t want us to do anything, but we weren’t just going to sit back and let them throw everything away.”

She rolled her eyes and brought one finger to her lips. “I’ll show you.” She said, almost to low to be heard over the music of the game. Her hand reached for the doorknob, and Taichi moved away to let the door silently open revealing a most unexpected scene.

Hikari and Takeru were decidedly not fighting. Nor were they glaring or expressing any form of resentment at each other.

Instead they were kissing.

Takeru was lying on top of Yamato and Sora’s spare bed, and Hikari was lying on top of him. There mouths held together by what was certainly not the first kiss of their relationship.

After a few moments, Hikari broke the kiss, pushing herself up a bit. She winked at her apparent lover, and then began to speak again.

“Always strawberry! I said I wanted it once. Once! Just because you ordered hamburger once doesn’t mean I order it for you every day. There are dozens of flavors of ice-cream that…” her words trailed off as she glanced towards the door, noticing for the first time that they had an audience.

“Hikari?” Takeru asked, craning his neck to follow her line of sight. “Oh.”

“How long has this been going on?” Yamato demanded. Taichi felt a bit better knowing he wasn’t the only one out of the loop.

“How long have we been locked in here?” Takeru asked in response.

Sora scoffed. “A few months. They didn’t want to tell anyone in case it didn’t go anywhere” she informed, cutting across Takeru’s deflection before it could do more harm.

Dots began to connect in Taichi’s head. Lying about being together, trying not to act so close in public, being red faced and suspiciously far apart when he interrupted them. He supposed that could paint a different picture than some friends in a prolonged fight.

“Wait.” He said, fear overriding reason as a sinister thought popped up. “When you said earlier about Hikari’s virginity….”

“Huh?” Takeru asked, craning his neck even harder “You know a gentleman would never kiss and tell.”

He let out the breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. That stuff was some of the last things he needed to know.

“I’m not a gentleman.” Hikari said with a wicked smirk, “Does that make it okay for me to tell them?”

Taichi shot away to the kitchen. Doing his best to escape the awkward situation. Yamato was hot on his heals. In the back ground he heard a pair of devils rejoicing as Sora scolded them.

“Stop messing with your older brothers.”

The evil teens responded in unison. “They started it.”

Digimon Adventure (Series) x La Belle et la Bête 2 {Parody} ~ A.M.V. Preview {Unfinished} / [In-Progress] / Work-in-Progress: ~ “L’Histoires” [“Stories”] + Duo/Ship/O.T.P: Koushiro{u} Izumi x Taichi Yagami {KouTai}/{Taishiro} + Friendships/(Platonic) Supporting: Koushiro & Tentomon line; Koushiro & Izumis; Koushiro & Chosen (briefly)

Digimon Adventure & related Series © Toei Animation La Belle et la Bête / Beauty and the Beast 2 (C) Disney

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Digimon. This is FAN-MADE. No $$$ is being made off this fan-work!

Notes:

This A.M.V. is currently UN-FINISHED. As of now, only the end section is completed. Hopefully you find some enjoyment so far though! This 1st part / intro / opening has taken about 45~ min already.

There are small Koushiro-spoilers from: Digimon Adventure 2020 Ep 14, 59; Tri: Kokuhaku (Kou+Tai moment)

{French Ver.}:

Histoires de héros, qui volent plus haut que les oiseaux, et vous donnent pour toujours l'espoir, d'emporter {la victoire}. Je sais qu'un jour viendra, où il gagnera son combat, dans un monde où il règnera, sa vie changera.

Stories of {HEROES}, who fly higher than [Icarus?] / the birds, and give you hope forever, to win… I {KNOW} that a day will come when (they) {WILL WIN} (their) fight, in A WORLD where (THEY) will reign, (THEIR) LIFE will {CHANGE}...

Summary:

Koushiro Izumi is NOT a “background chara” (that can be easily dismissed or ‘left out’ of the ensemble cast), I don’t know who needs to hear that...!! (And regardless of Koushiro’s own role usages / screen-time; it’s STILL Important.) Koushiro will ALWAYS be important as representation of non-normative families no matter what Toei may choose to SHOW (or BELIEVE...)

{I might finish this for this month, but we’ll see.} (This song genuinely means a lot to me anyhow; I am making it out of genuine appreciation for this {+canon} chara; and as this is just a pre-view, I hope it can be respected.)

The song is in French but I provided the machine translated lines above. (I’ve seen the song sub’d properly before in past too; it was pretty much along these lines, so hopefully you can follow!)

Digimon Adventure ~ Japanese version Koushiro{u} Izumi with bonus Izumi family ~ {Personal} Top Favorite Digimon Characters + All-Time Favorite Characters ~ as Canonical Adopted Representation + Supported by Koushiro’s Parents

“You don’t have to change yourself for us.”

Image usage rules + Original commentary under ‘read more’! {Minimal Spoilers for Tri up to Kyousei, Part #5 are Discussed}

{Do Not Repost} {Do Not Remove Caption} (Please ASK to Use)

Further reading: on Bionormative assumptions [x] (If you want to know what that means, look there!)

Original Poster’s [Mine] Notes: The original entire adoption scene with the original contexts. Koushiro is talking with a soft tone near the beginning. When Mr. Izumi speaks up to say “There is nothing wrong with being into computers!” Masami speaks it in a raised/INSISTENT tone that causes Koushiro surprise.

And, as someone who is NOT biologically related ““by blood”” to one of MY OWN parents, This scene has always been incredibly important to me and I seriously wish this fan-base would consider the importance of this entire scene* (*and NOT picking and choosing lines from it) before they speak on Koushiro Izumi’s character arcs in the WHOLE canon. Because, - Yes, Koushiro counts as canonical Adopted representation; - Yes, Adopted representation and representation of non normative families; is and always will be important.

This post is also not meant to dismiss the U.S. dub’s version and in fact, I think there are things it actually did better for the U.S. audience when it came to localization. This post is already too long, so I am saving that commentary for now. Please do not use this post or my gifs for anti-dub arguments. (I will only hard-block you if you try.)

gifs by @izzyizumi, {DO NOT REPOST} {DO NOT REMOVE CAPTION} {DO NOT COMMENT / TAG WITH SERIES / CANON HATE} {OTHERWISE YOU WILL LIKELY BE BLOCKED} {THIS ALSO APPLIES TO TAGGING/TAGS ON THIS POST.}

{usage of gifs may be allowed if permission is asked / or if credit is given. However, read my about & FAQ pages first. Please do NOT use / ask if you match anything in my “Do Not Interact” sections.}

BONUS: {Further contexts from 02 onwards}

[Koushiro uses “Arigato[u]” {casual} notably in dialogue or, the TV version’s scripts for the first time here Instead of the more formal “Arigato[u] gozaimas[u]”. In the adoption scene, Koushiro starts out with the latter before hesitantly correcting himself with “A... Arigato[u]”.]

Koushiro is particularly known for using “textbook”-like Somewhat formal (polite) speech in the Japanese version. This is shown (Consistently) all through Adventure, 02, the various post-02 spinoff materials, and yes, even the whole of tri., the mid-tri. (timeline-wise) official stage-play, Kizuna, etc.

[In tri, it was their wedding anniversary.] (It is heavily implied Koushiro is helping to place the order for their meals as they are at a fancy French restauraunt. When the waiter speaks in French; the Izumis {Japanese} don’t seem to understand the French that Koushiro uses on the phone as he speaks to Sora. (Koushiro had begun to study French) Koushiro then takes a moment to order for Koushiro’s mother (while making obvious excuses to Sora).]

[Kyousei (Movie #5); Koushiro calling home.]

[Kyousei (Movie #5); Koushiro calling home.] (Implied Koushiro’s speaking to them pleasantly, as a calm grin is on his face. The audience cannot hear the conversation, likely intended for dramatic effect.) (Sometimes, you don’t NEED words.)

#Noctislistening - Iori Edition (6 of 12)

In which I ramble about songs that the Chosen Children/Digidestined listen to.

Click the tag #noctislistening digidestined series for more; or, click here for the master post!

Brought to you by @tangledupblue‘s Digidestined-inspired playlists. Go listen right now!!

Well, it’s certainly been a while. It’s been a whirlwind of anxiety and other emotions due to real life stuff, but I’m glad to be talking music again! I honestly thought I wouldn’t have much to talk about, but I ended up talking about a lot. :D

Last time, we bopped to the beats with Koushiro (#5) next time we dance the night away with Mimi (#7)

Today we will visit this dear, sweet child (You know Upamon’s excited, too).

Kendo-you

Iori’s playlist has artists that sing in various languages - that was the first thing that intrigued me. He must be a person with interest in different languages. In this playlist, we have Laura Pausini(Italian), Nesma Mahgoub(Egyptian), Katherine Ho(Mandarin), Miguel Bosé(Spanish), and a few more! (Later, @tangledupblue mentioned that in her headcanon, Iori is a polyglot - so there you have it!! :D)

But even so, the mood of his music is generally subdued and mellow. He always remains the level-headed, chill and friendly kid that I wouldn’t mind hanging out having tea and snacks with. If there was ever a Noct specific trope in fics, one of them would be Iori having tea.

I also noticed since many of these songs about are love (in many different forms, I think) I think Iori recognizes that, and he isn’t in a rush to find romantic love because he knows that he has familial and friendship kind of love. But I also see him suggesting some of his music to the other Digidestined (if he feels comfortable, of course). I could actually see him share some of this music with Yamato who would be interested in hearing emotional music in different languages as inspiration for his own lyrics.

Anyway, the songs here include those I haven’t heard of until listening to the playlists but there are a few familiars, like One Republic, Florence and the Machine and Fleetwood Mac. I should also add that I’m growing to like Ane Brun and Betty Who a lot!

This six features three in English and three in other languages!

Avril Lavigne - Tomorrow // She was my fave in my late teen years. I listened to everything she did. This was also one of the songs I remembered learning how to play on my acoustic guitar. I also remember during my senior year in high school, one of my friends performed this in the center quad during lunch and I stood there singing along.

Sufjan Stevens - Mystery of Love // I think this artist is a go-to for a relaxing sound. And I also haven’t seen the movie “Call Me By Your Name” but after hearing this song and reading the summary I think I need to watch it!

Katherine Ho - Yellow (Mandarin Chinese) // I love Coldplay’s original and I love to hear this version! I saw “Crazy Rich Asians” earlier this year, so of course I know this song. <3

Nesma Mahgoub - Wujuh (Egyptian) // I couldn’t find the English translation of this song so I’m going purely on how much I enjoyed the song and her voice.

youtube

~*~*~*~*~*~

Ed Sheeran - Autumn Leaves // I love Ed Sheeran, although my favorite songs are his earlier stuff when he made comfier sounds like this.

Zaz - Si jamais j'oublie (French) // These lyrics are so sweet =,)

youtube

Are you into Iori’s musical taste and love of languages? Which songs do you like from his playlist?

I started imagining Taichi trying to get Koushiro to fall for him by playing him romantic songs. Like, he would be the "stand outside your window playing a boombox," type. But no clue what he would play

Awww! yeah I feel like Taichi goes between impulsive grand gestures and I left the tab open on my computer for 3 months so I wouldn’t forget to buy your present and now it’s the actual day I’m sorry so sorry what is time?? (But he would make up for it ofc)

Obviously if he chose any songs they’d most likely be in Japanese (or I guess even French if he looks up translations or gets suggestions), but if we pretend he uses some English songs I’m thinking:

Talk About You - Mika

2002 - Anne-Marie

Young and in Love - Ingrid Michaelson

Never Stop - Safetysuit (there are 2 versions-- one wedding and the other more rock/pop)

Big Plans - Why Don’t We

Maybe I Love You - Lenka

Flood and Fire - Vance Joy

#winged-wolf-dreamer #replies #shut up lala #Taichi just because you’re born in the ‘80′s doesn’t exactly mean you’re an ‘80′s child #(since it came from an ‘80′s movie I think)#Hopefully someone reminds him that Koushirou lives in an apartment building and It Would Be Rude to Blast Music hahaha #Now I’m imaging Taichi making one of those spotify playlists where the song titles spell out a message #that is essenitally ‘hey I really like you let’s go out but if you don’t want to i still wanna be friends’#Not that exact message but you know #my music taste is all over the place but my taishiro playlist is just literally 90% poppy or slow love songs so.#taishiro #otp: the only exception #Digimon is a Fun Series

Case 20 - The Halloween festival’s climax.

[AO3 version]

On the same night, a day before the Amanogawa High’s Halloween Festival…

“I’m coming…”

Takeru opened the door and found Ken and Wormmon at his doorstep.

“Takeru-kun,” Ken said with a serious tone, “I need your help.”

“...” Takeru was silent, but intrigued by that visit. He gestured to Ken get in and then they moved to his room.

This felt kinda awkward considering that previously Takeru was involved in a case where he tried to kill Ken and the others under the power of the wicked Digimental fragment, and some sort of unknown digimon’s brainwash.

However, he thought this could be the right opportunity to redeem himself.

“Should we call the others?” Takeru asked, also seriously.

“Not yet,” Ken answered, then he decided to go straight to the point, “I know you’re aspiring to be a writer, so maybe you could help me with this.”

“And what would it be?”

“... I’m looking for a particular book series trivia, and I think you know which one I mean.”

“I thought you were the bookworm one here, but sure” he chuckled lightly, “Yeah, I do know what you mean.”

They kinda spent a good chunk of hours discussing a certain French literature and how it connected to… A certain suspect.

“Do ya know one thing, V-mon?” Daisuke sighed, he was still looking for a costume for tomorrow, “I have to arrive early and start cooking for the café, but… I dunno. I think I shouldn’t waste my time with this…”

“Huh, what’s wrong?”

“... There’s still a few pieces around, right? Hikari-chan said Arsenemon got another one. So… There’s less pieces to catch.”

“Well, we can take them from him later!!”

“... I do wonder what he wants to do with them…” he looked at his digimon, frowning “Like, if he was after power or world domination… He would’ve used his thief powers and snatched them from Koushiro-san.”

“Hmm… True, true.”

“But are… Are the pieces safe with Koushiro-san…? I mean, yeah I know he would be careful… But you just saw what happened with Takeru.”

“... Oh, you mean… You’re scared of them luring Koushiro into madness?”

“Exactly, i think…? Wouldn’t it be safer to take those pieces and put them back to their original place? Or, I dunno, seal them away?? What will happen to us if we get all of those fragments?”

“You’re not the type to overthink about this…” V-mon tilted his head, “Like, that’s more of a Miyako-thing. A Daisuke-thing would be focused on getting the pieces first. Are you okay?”

“... I guess I know how Miyako feels now, when she just starts panicking over things about to happen or not…” he sighed, “Should we talk about this with someone? I don’t want to cause them panic tho…”

“You could talk to… Uh… Hey, we’re already talking!!”

“... Ah, that’s right. I think we can keep this to ourselves until something bad or good happens.”

The eyepatched Impmon was glaring at the human crowds moving through the streets from the distance, at the top of a building. They were pouting because all the previous attempts to bring havoc had been ruined by the Chosen Children and Arsenemon. They clenched their paw, he was about to throw a can of soda down when… Someone approached them.

“If I were you I wouldn’t have done that.”

“Huh, who are you??” Impmon glanced at… a BlackTailmon??

“I’m just passing by… Are you the one causing a fuss within the humans and their digimon?”

“Yeah, why? Are you going to stop us?!”

“Nah, I don’t intend to” the cat-like digimon shrugged, “Like I said, I’m just passing by… But I’m curious about one thing… Why are you doing those? There must be a reason behind your actions…”

“We’re doing it to gather the seven deadly sin’s energy! So we can cause a big show here!”

“A show…?” BlackTailmon raised an eyebrow.

“Yea! One of those chaotic shows, we want to gather them and show off how fragile those good-hearted humans and digimon are. They can be corrupted and do awful things for everyone! Like… Like that kid, the Digimon Kaiser. Or the blonde dude with a Patamon. Heheh~”

“So… You’re doing it just for fun?” BlackTailmon frowned.

“Yea! Isn’t it hilarious??”

They’re just stupid pranksters… --- the cat-like digimon thought -- No, there might be something else…

“But who are your pals? You said ‘us’ so I presume there’s another friend of yours involved.”

“Yeah there it is! My human partner Naito and Dracumon!” Impmon grinned, “They’re way more serious than me, though.”

“I see…”

“B-BUT I’M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT!! So Please don’t tell anyone, random Tailmon.”

“I won’t. Besides, call me Hikage.”

“Ok! Thank you Hikage!”

“Oh look at the hour; I have to go~ See you someday, have fun with your pranks~” And then, the BlackTailmon called ‘Hikage’ left.

At a good distance, the feline-like digimon smirked. It snapped fingers and magically Hikage’s form shaped into a certain phantom thief.

“What a buffoon. Giving me all the info I wanted,” Arsenemon shrugged, “A human is involved here huh… And it makes sense a Dracumon would also be too…”

“Boss, did you find something!?” Miss Espimon appeared flying the moment Arsenemon used their secret signal to meet each other.

“Yes, I did. Seems like those buffoons are just pranking people around. No actual evil intent so far. I need to ask you a favor, mademoiselle Espimon. Search for a Chosen named Naito with an eyepatched Impmon as partner.”

“AYE SIR!” and then she left quickly.

“Now I have to endure a little more until I can reveal my true intentions to the Chosen Detectives…”

At the festival… Spooky decorations and thematic rooms were full of visitors. The Spooky café got a good chunk of customers…

“Phew… I’m tired…” Daisuke sighed in relief, but that high pitched voice just… sounded a little melancholic.

“Oh I think you did it pretty well,” Hikari smiled.

“R-really…?? I’m not… that good. Yet.”

“No, you really did it” Takeru said, “Don’t worry everything turned out good. Everyone’s enjoying the stuff we baked together.”

“Yeah, we can relax now” V-mon nodded, “Ah… We should go look at the other classes’ exhibitions, right??”

“... Y-yeah, the rest of the class doesn’t need us here for help… I guess” Daisuke pouted.

“? Is there something bugging you, Daisuke?” Tailmon raised an eyebrow.

“Nothing serious just--”

A scream was heard outside.

“What was that??” Patamon asked, flying to check the source of the scream.

There was a digimon outside. Oh of course it’s that eyepatched Impmon again, the kids and their digimon whispered to themselves and with a deep sigh at the end.

“Boo, you humans are so stup--”

“IMPMON YOU JERK WHY ARE YOU HERE?!” Daisuke screamed from the window, with a megaphone. (He got that for one of the peeps wearing a traffic officer costume)

“Well, it’s a Halloween fest sooooooooooooo… I came to have fun too~”

“You…!!” Takeru and Hikari had to hold Daisuke before he could jump off the window and go there to throw hands with that tiny digimon.

“Say, where’s the Digimon Kaiser kid? I have a little present for him!!”

“... He’s not here” the kids and their partners answered with a deadpan face.

“E-EH!? HE’S NOT!?”

“Dude, he attends another school” Daisuke shrugged, “He might come here but later.”

“Then… I will after that blonde human with green eyes! I’ll give it this wonderful gift~”

Daisuke clenched his fist, Hikari and Takeru looked at each other -- Did they mention Noel?

“BUH-BYE!!” Impmon ran to the entrance hall.

“We have to find Noel and warn him” Daisuke then ran outside the café room. V-mon also went after him. Hikari was about to go, but Takeru held her wrist lightly.

“There’s… Something Ichijouji-kun and I discovered.”

“Huh?” She and Tailmon blinked.

Why is Impmon after Noel!? Are they planning to turn Noel into the next victim!? -- Daisuke thought, running to the exhibition hosted by Noel’s classroom. When talking with one of the students, Akashiya Tagiru, Daisuke had a strange feeling something was off when…

“Huh, Noel is not here. He said he had to do something before coming to the festival.”

“W-what??”

“Have you tried to call his phone?”

“Yeah I did but… No answers… Do you know where he is?”

“Hmmm… He might be… He said he was with Soleil, I think? You could try talking to him.”

“... Yeah, I’m goin’ to call him, thanks for the information” he bowed and then left with V-mon.

“... Tsk, Motomiya is really so clingy to the new student… But, It wouldn’t be him if he weren’t all friendly with any new student” Akashiya shrugged. Then he saw a small digimon next to him, “Huh? Are you lost, little fella?”

“Oh no… I came to give you a present!”

“A… Present?” the boy blinked.

Meanwhile, Ken was with Miyako and Iori at Koushiro’s office. They were trying to find a way to track the remaining 7 pieces.

“I’ve run a scanner on them, and I think we can track their signals around Tokyo,” Koushiro explained, showing them the scan results.

“Hmm…” Ken was thoughtful.

“Those pieces are with that Impmon” Iori mused, “Or they know where to find the remaining ones…”

“Interesting,” Koushiro was very interested in the other kids’ reports, “Our mission is to retrieve them before they’re used on someone, correct?”

“Yeah, we had a few problems trying to prevent a few… incidents” Miyako giggled nervously, but Koushiro was well aware that she meant what happened to Takeru.

“Koushiro-san,” Ken finally called them, “Is it possible to discover where the other shards Arsenemon stole are?”

“Hmm, I guess we can use it to track their whereabouts, so yes. But that’s in theory.”

“Excellent.”

“Why is Ken so interested in Arsenemon now?” Armadimon asked, “I thought it was Daisuke who had some obsession with catching him, dagya…”

“Maybe he found something suspicious?” Hawkmon and Tentomon wondered, Wormmon just cleaned his throat.

“Ken-chan might have discovered something interesting about him with Takeru-san’s help”

“Oh?” Miyako smirked, “So, the detective Ichijouji has big news to drop??”

Ken, however, blushed a little with that tease, “I… I might have something to tell soon. But first, I need solid proof. I shouldn’t make any statement without evidence.”

“He’s really into it” Iori also teased him.Suddenly, Miyako’s phone rang. She answered the call and it was Hikari. She was straight to the point: Impmon was there and that if used a fragment on a student. Hikari asked for their help. At the same time, Daisuke was on a call with Takeru, asking him the same thing.

“Huh, a fragment” Lunamon pointed at the pumpkin-like digimon Akashiya had turned and was turning every single student and visitor -- human and digimon -- into pumpkin-head puppets. Lune left the table and started calling for Soleil and Noel.

“Hurry up…” she was a little hesitant, until someone picked up the phone on the other end, “There’s another fragment here. Come quickly and call him too.”

In the middle of the chaos, Angemon and Angewomon stood in front of the foe. Akashiya laughed and then, “So, the sophomore students are going to fight me, huh?”

“Please… open your eyes, Akashiya-kun!” Hikari tried to be reasonable. But then something came in her direction: A pumpkin. Though this pumpkin was destroyed by Akashiya’s partner, Gumdramon.

“TAGIRU STOP!” Gumdramon shouted, “WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU, PAL!?”

“There’s no Tagiru here! I’m the Pumpkin Master--”

“V-MON HEADBUTT!!”

V-mon just appeared from nowhere and hit the NoblePumpkinmon digimon on the back. The enemy fell on the floor, but it wasn’t enough to beat him.

“I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep, Down in Pumpkin Hill I gots to find my lost piece 🎶 ” Daisuke popped in singing in English?!

“...” everyone just stared at Daisuke for a moment.

“What?” He said, “It’s a cool Halloween themed song!”

“...”

“E-ENOUGH STARING AT ME!! V-MON, EVOLVE!!”

V-mon evolved into XV-mon… And jumped against NoblePumpkinmon. But this didn’t seem to be effective on the enemy. Angemon and Angewomon tried to attack, and then Impmon popped from nowhere, laughing loudly.

“HA, this kid turned into a FINAL level digimon!”

“F-final level!?” the kids exclaimed. So they would need Imperialdramon right now… Right??

“....... Let’s take him outside” Takeru said, clutching on his D-3, “We can’t fight in a crowded place.”

“Right… XV-MON, EVERYONE… TAKE HIM OUTSIDE THE BUILDING!!” Daisuke ordered their digi-partners.

Then, the angel duo and XV-mon forced their opponent to get outside the building and the school area. Lune and Lunamon followed them, quietly, and phoned Soleil again.

“The enemy is a Final level one. The victim's name is Akashiya Tagiru, a first year high school grader.”

On their way to meet with the other three…

… A calling card flew towards them.

Armadimon caught it before it went away in the wind as they arrived at the school, and then they read it:

Bonsoir mes amis~ Tonight I’ll be stealing a Digimental fragment from Akashiya Tagiru at the Amanogawa High School’s Halloween festival.

Minutes later Ken witnessed a pair of shadows running into the bushes. He thought it couldn’t be a stray animal at this point, but they had no time to waste. They followed the signal of the digivices.

While Daisuke and the other two were busier, Soleil and Étoile came and gathered with Lune. They were now planning what to do and how to steal the shard, making Akashiya turn back to normal.

“Maybe we should let them solve this once…” Étoile commented shyly.

“No, we can’t let them beat us here!” Soleil protested, “We will steal it away, in front of their eyes!”

“But… Can we evolve into Final level?” Lunamon asked with a frown, “Sure, Coronamon and I can evolve higher, but I’m more effective as Lekismon.”

“Hmm… If that’s the problem…” Étoile mused, “we should…”

“I’m tired of you all, so…!!”

The Pumpkin Master snapped his fingers and the horde of students and digimon manipulated by the pumpkin heads started to come out, going after them.

“...” Étoile watched in silence, with both Soleil and Lune glancing at him in confusion.

“GUH! Stop!! Let me gooooooo!!”“Daisuke(-kun)!!”

And with this… Daisuke turned into a puppet the moment NoblePumpkinmon used his magic to give Daisuke a real pumpkin helmet-head.

Étoile moved the bangs from his right green eye to the side and stared at the puppet-people-and-digimon seriously. He snapped his fingers and Miss Espimon appeared, let her know what he wanted her to do and then she went after the pumpkin-puppets.

Espimon spinned her body and attacked the manipulated victims, freeing Takeru and Hikari from the enemy’s hands. Takeru blinked, “Huh?? Noel-kun is here?”

“Noel told me you were in trouble,” Espimon said quickly, “I came to help!”

“But how can we fight them?!” Hikari asked desperately, “They’re innocent people being used against us!!” The three frying digimon took the kids and flew higher in the sky. Daisuke was being held tightly by XV-mon, but he was trying to catch the other two.

“There might exist a way to free them…” Takeru said, trying to figure something out.

“Hmm… I can help!” Espimon smiled, “I’m a cyborg, so I can scan everything and find their weak point! This is why I’m here!”

“Then, how can we free those victims from NoblePumpkinmon’s control?” Angewomon asked, gently but seriously.

“Alright, scanning right now!!” and she scanned Daisuke’s pumpkin head, “Uh um… I thought it would be breaking those pumpkins, but apparently it might not work!”

“Then we have to beat the Pumpkin Master” Angemon glanced at the enemy.

“Oh, didn’t ya know?” Pumpkin Master smirked… “There’s no way you can beat me, heheh~”

“Hikari, Takeru, Watch out!!” XV-mon shoved Angewomon and Angemon to the side, to avoid them from being caught by the pumpkin heads fired against them. And with this he also turned XV-mon into a puppet, taking advantage of them letting their guard down.

“XV-mon!!” they exclaimed, but Espimon attacked them with Mot Bombs to create a cloud of smoke and then escape.

“Tsk!” Pumpkin Master snapped his fingers in distress, “They escaped!!”

On their way to escape, Hikari and Takeru met with Miyako, Ken and Iori. They explained what happened and that…

“... Daisuke-kun got caught and he and XV-mon are zombies now.”

“...” Ken clenched his fist, “We can’t use Imperialdramon without them…”

“But we can use Silphymon and Shakkoumon together and find where the shard is and take it off from Akashiya-kun,” Miyako said, with her glasses shining in the moonlight.

“Might work…” Iori said, nonchalantly and with a poker face, “We should try at least.”

“Yosh! I’m going to scan Pumpkin Master and find the fragment!” Espimon turned into her special Search Mode to read NoblePumpkinmon’s body and staff, trying to search for the fragment.

“I will find you, Chosen Children~”

“He’s coming-- Huh?!”

Flaremon and a digimon evolved from Lekismon appeared in front of Pumpkin Master, and started to fight him. Next to the battle there were Soleil and Lune. Espimon frowned and sighed, They’re really doing everything to be rivals with the Chosen Children…

Pumpkin Master sent the puppets against Ken and the others, knowing now they wouldn’t fight them.

“Aaah, they’re coming!!” Espimon babbled, “The puppets!!” she looked at them, “Uh… Um… I think… AHA! I FOUND IT!” then she used a hologram to point out where the fragment was, “Right there! It’s the Wassamu Ring Jack staff!!”

“So all we have to do is take the staff from him…?” Wormmon asked.

“Yeah so… AAAAAH, RUN FOLKS RUUUUUUUUUUN!!” Espimon screamed; and they all ran away, when the horde of pumpkin headed brainwashed digimon and their partners came in.

The group returned to the school building and closed the doors. They needed a plan. Suddenly, a sparkle of an idea hit Hikari’s mind. She then guided the group to the theater club where they…

“Oh I see” Iori replied, “If we get disguised with those pumpkin masks they might not chase us…”

“And then we can get closer to Akashiya-kun,” Takeru smiled, “Nice idea, Hikari-chan!”

“But… can we all wear those, dagya??” Armadimon asked with a frown, “I mean… Shakkoumon’s head is too… big…?”

“May I give you a hand, mes amis ?”

They looked to the corner and in the window there was… Yes, Arsenemon.

“W-what do you want?!” Angewomon snapped.

“Help you with a magic trick, of course” he smiled, “Those pumpkin masks are not suitable for digimon, so I might be able to use an illusion trick played on the victims and Pumpkin Master so they think you were transformed into puppets~”

“And if we refuse?” Ken said, coldly.

“Then good luck figuring things out by ourselves.”

“... Wait,” Takeru asked, “We… We need to save everyone, not just Daisuke-kun. So if this is a good deal to be made…”“Ah, I like how you think, monsieur Takeru.”

“This won’t work for much longer!!” Crescemon shouted, still attacking NoblePumpkinmon with her arrows of ice. Flaremon used his flames concentrated in his fists to throw them as energy waves at the digimon.

“Hmph, you shouldn’t be fighting someone from your power level?” Pumpkin Master yawned, while he reflected or dodged the attacks, “Say, how about turning into my puppets?”

“Well, we refuse to let you do something like this, Akashiya” Soleil smirked, but he was wavering at the same time. He and Lune wouldn’t be strong enough by themselves, and they would need the 02 Group’s assistance if they wanted to stop him.

“You can’t refuse…” He said with a serious yet terrifying voice.

“Hurry up, hurry up…” Lune was looking back to the school building. Crescemon and Flaremon were still shielding them and destroying all the pumpkin heads thrown at them.

“Espimon,” Hikari called her, frowning, “Where’s Noel-kun? Did he get caught too…?”

Espimon nodded with a sad look at them. Arsenemon just shook his head, he clenched his fist, then… “My magic tricks don’t last forever, so it will disappear the moment you achieve your goal, which is saving your friends.”

“Yes, we are aware,” Iori said.

“Very well. Un, deux, trois~” and Arsenemon snapped his fingers and gave the kids and their digimon (illusional) pumpkin heads.

“... Please save Noel for me,” Espimon asked them.

They nodded in return and left. Espimon looked at Arsenemon for a moment, and he just shrugged, “Might go now, mademoiselle Espimon. I’ll save them, don’t worry.” And he left.

“You’re the one who should be saved, you dummy…” she pouted.

The horde or pumpkin headed digimon and people did not attack Ken and the others the moment they left. They approached the battle between Soleil and Lune against Pumpkin Master. Soleil was completely lost at it, and Lune was the only one to notice the moves of the other five were different from the rest of the puppets.

Oh, wait a second.

“Bwhahahaha, see? Your friends decided to join me!” Akashiya laughed maliciously, “Go get them--”

Stingmon tried to snatch the staff from NoblePumpkinmon. But it was blocked by… XV-mon.

“?! What?!” Stingmon exclaimed, “H-How…!?”

“Nonono,” Daisuke wagged his finger, “You can’t have it…!!”

“... How did he notice it, dagya!?” Armadimon gasped.

“Oh nice, the brainwashing made Daisuke smarter,” Ken and Miyako said together in the most annoyed tone ever.

“Daisuke-kun, snap out of it!” Takeru shouted. Then he grabbed his D-3

“... What, will you really fight me?”

“... You four go after that staff,” Takeru said with a serious tone of voice, “Leave Daisuke-kun to me.”

‘Alright,” Ken nodded, and then the group proceeded to help Soleil and Lune.

“... Can you really fight me?” Daisuke mocked him, “I’m your friend, ain’t I?”

“That’s right, Daisuke-kun. We’re friends… But right now you’re not the same Motomiya Daisuke I care for!! Angemon, super-evolve!”

Angemon super-evolved into HolyAngemon and stood floating over Takeru.

“Erm… I don’t think you should do that--” Daisuke babbled, his pumpkin head’s eyes blinking.

“Yes, I should.” Takeru smirked.

“HOLY DISINFECTION!!” And HolyAngemon used his sacred powers to undo the Pumpkin Master’s masks on Daisuke and XV-mon… Before they could even do anything.

The masks were destroyed like bits of data and then XV-mon devolved back to Chibimon, while Daisuke fell into Takeru’s arms. Both kid and digimon had passed out.

“Can you use it on everyone else, HolyAngemon?”

“Roger,” and the archangel-like flew around using it around every single person and digimon.

Flaremon and Crescemon, alongside Stingmon, Silphymon and Digmon faced Pumpkin Master and the few brainwashed digimon next to them (a Leomon, a Strikedramon, a Hangyomon and a Knightmon)

Crescemon was busy freezing the enemy for a moment; Three of them (Flaremon, Silphymon and Digmon) tried to keep the digimon busy, leaving Stingmon to get a free path to NoblePumpkinmon. It was when… Arsenemon appeared with all of his pizzazz and took advantage from the battle -- the Pumpkin Master wouldn’t be able to hold two enemies at once!!

Or… many. Because now all the angry victims “un-pumpkin’ed” by HolyAngemon were coming against Akashiya and make things even crowded. With this, Arsenemon caught the staff in the middle of the confusion and snatched it.

“W-WHAT?!” Akashiya babbled in panic, “H-HOW!?”

“Parce que je suis un voleur fantôme,” he grinned, “Thank you for your job, Chosen Detectives~” and he removed the fragment from the staff. With this, Akashiya turned back to normal, and the remaining brainwashed people and digimon had the spell casted on them undone.

“Huh? What were we doing--” they heard a few saying this and some alternate versions of this line.

“AKASHIYA!!” Soleil snapped, and he went after the boy, “HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH OUR FESTIVAL AND BE TAUNTED BY EVIL!?”

“H-hey, hey! It’s… It’s not my fault!!” the boy had been shaken violently by Soleil by his shoulders, “S-SOMETHING FORCED ME TO!!”

“Huh??” Lunamon (who had just devolved alongside the other digimon) tilted her head.

“Something… forced me to do that…!” Akashiya sighed, and then he looked at Gumdramon coming from the crowd, “I’m sorry…!!”

“... He didn’t mean it!” Gumdramon gently shoved Soleil back from Akashiya, “I saw what happened, I can explain.”

“Can you?” Lune stared at him, “Then, do us a favor here.”

“What happened was…”

“Huh? Are you lost, little fella?” Akashiya looked at the eyepatched Impmon next to him.

“Oh no… I came to give you a present!”

“A… Present?” the boy blinked “But it’s not my birthday and I don’t know y--”

Then, from the box carried by Impmon, two eyeballs left and floated to his eye level, and then…

“EYE OF NIGHTMARE!!”

… was heard by them.

“I think you will have fun if you use this shard here and bring more spookiness to the party!” Impmon said and handed him the fragment of the forbidden Digimental, “See? How about giving everyone a pumpkin head like your mask?”

“... Pumpkin… Heads… Heh. I will show them what the Pumpkin Master can do!!”

Gumdramon came in, “Tagiru?! Don’t do that--”

But it was too late, Akashiya had just evolved with the Digimental shard to NoblePumpkinmon.

“Tagir--”

“SILENCE!” the Pumpkin Master shoved him away, “I’m not Tagiru, I’m the Pumpkin Master. And if you don’t obey me…”

But he didn’t finish it and left the area, turning every single visitor and their digimon into his puppets.

“... And that’s what happened,” Gumdramon finished his report.

“That Impmon again…!” Miyako gritted her teeth, “We need to stop them!!”

“Ugh… W-what happened…” Daisuke opened his eyes, he was carried by Takeru while HolyAngemon had Chibimon in his arms.

“Are you back to your senses?” Hikari asked him, concerned.

“Y-yeah… S-sorry… And… And thanks, Takeru.”

“It’s okay, Daisuke-kun” Takeru smiled at him, with his brightest smile, “I was owing you that.”

“Hehe…” Daisuke laughed and blushed with awkwardness.

“M-Motomiya-san?” Suddenly Noel appeared from the crowd which was heading back to the school’s facilities, he stood in front of the group, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I am… Thanks to Takeru and the others.”

“I’m glad you’re fine now Noel-kun,” Hikari smiled.

“I’m s-sorry…” and he bowed his head, “For the inconvenience I must have caused to everyone.”

Ken and Takeru were finding that too suspicious though… Iori, Hikari and Miyako too, but they weren’t aware of the details. Yet, Ken couldn’t decide if this was all a coincidence or not.

But… Noel Leblanc is very, very SUSPICIOUS right now.
