Heeey! Who's ready for the 2018 loveliness, eh!? I have to say that 2017 had been a good year for me. Most of all the good things happened and some not-so-good things but you know. Anyway, for some reason, I've had an irresistible drive to try and get back to this story and it's been killing me as of late. Like it's a disease or something. I guess it's just the anticipation of all the amazing things that I have planned or maybe it's because of how strong I plan to make Dorumon and Draco. I kid you all not when I say they will be POWERHOUSES!

You guys absolutely LOVED Chapter 10 and I'm glad you did! Hell, I work hard on all of my chapters but it was key things happening that needed to happen. Dorumon learns he harbors the godly powers of the X-Antibody. Yes…godly. If the Digital Hazard can rock the foundations of the Digital World (And probably other things) than the X-Antibody can do the same…among the varying stuff. I've only got a vague but broad idea how it works but I know it's at least as strong as or stronger than the Digital Hazard. Anyway, Takato will put his full trust in Guilmon from this point on and won't 'mother hen' his scaly-ass all the time. Rika learns the hard way that Digimon are living creatures and Draco makes early headway into Ki blasts. Kinda. He'll still focus more on physical attacks, passive Ki abilities, and his natural move set. He's not ready to blast things yet. He'll have to build his power up some more.

Anyway, that Q & A, please? Thank you.

Element-Overlord, Duuuude. Okay, 'The Battle Is to the Strong' is officially Draco's fighting song. You got me to listen to it and it just stuck. Everyone else, listen to this song when Draco fights something! Or you can choose your own battle music if you feel that it suits him. Whatever. And as to some Tamer Digimon getting the X-Antibody...(Grins) Only ONE of them.

Boyzilla, I'm glad that this chapter was everything that you thought that is should be. When I write I do my best to not half-ass…even if it means spitting out monsters like that. And that so far IS my longest chapter of the story. And, yeah. I know I told you in a PM but here's to everyone else, I didn't have much of Gohan in there. I WILL give Gohan his screen time but last chapter…it wasn't it. It was all mainly for Naruto and Draco. I try to do my best to share when it's not charactered specific though. Don't worry, he'll get his moments.

saiyan fan, YAY! YOU LOVED IT TOO! Anyway, Fanglongmon is Fanglongmon. You KNOW he knows exactly what the X-Program is. At least the full extent of it. Naruto's Digivice can only hold so much info on something so limited and practically erased from the Digital World. Keyword being, practically. And I was trying to see what ninja Digimon Dorumon should fight. I figured why not a plethora!? It'll be easier this way anyway. A lot of chances to show whose top Digi-Ninja around these parts. Also, good work on those hidden Easter Eggs. That was exactly the fight where those scenes came from. And you can call Renamon's ass whupping whatever you want to call it, with any kind of gruesome words.

Shadowjab17, Hmm…'Uzumaki Hyper Dash Metal Barrage', huh? I'll have to tweak the name but it's STILL a great idea. I already told you, but that would be DEVASTATING! Can you all imagine that!? Dorumon Kinetic Bombing a big-baddy thanks to 'Shadow Clones'!? All you'd see is a storm of furry, purple, dragons dive-bombing a bitch and he'd be DONE! I can hear the sonic booms already. Second, you know Growlmon is going to be in this chapter. It IS supposed to have been treated like a setup. For the Prank War, good idea! Actually, I'll take ANY idea! Because this war is going to go on for quite a while. I can take ideas from people and mash some together to make worse pranks or make just a collection of them. Your contribution is notified.

leaf ninja, Like I said in the last chapter you can take Renamon's 'Off-screen' Digivolution anyway you want. At the end of the day, she finally did it. And of course, the two are going to fight again. Maybe during one of these training sessions in some future chapter. And it's my story dude. I know what the Tamers are going to be surprised by when certain things happen. But I'm VERY sure that the first thing that comes out of Gohan's mouth isn't going to be 'I'm an alien'. So the Tamers won't be surprised by that right off the bat and instead drop jaws at seeing him flying around and blasting things to pieces. Anyway, thanks for that story suggestion.

reaver216, That part was actually from the 'TFS Dragon Ball Z Abridged' fight with Frieza. Goku was like 'You sorry yet!?' Frieza thinking 'I think I peed a little.' Yeah, that scene was funnier than the actual episode and stuff. At least you got the main part though.

Anyway, the Prank War has finally started! The Tamer Digimon are going to be doing some more training…eventually and Impmon, as I said before, FINALLY is into the picture. Things are falling into place and Merry Christmas!

Quick Side Note: When you imaging Dorumon speaking, imagine Natsu. When you imagine Draco speaking, imagine Ichigo. Mellra helped me come up with the voice choices!

CHAPTER 11:

A Digivolution

"Dammit!" Impmon growled, gritting his fangs as he stopped his way to who knows where. He was still pissed because of his little encounter with Dorumon and Naruto just a little while ago and had no intention of staying in the woods with those two hanging around there. What makes that suck, even more, is the fact that he wanted to take that pineapple-head, Guilmon, a night on the town. Show him that there was more to life, more to being a Digimon, than just doing some human's bidding on a whim. It disgusted him every time Guilmon would talk about his 'friendship' with Takato and that was enough reason for him to be locked away so he can be brought back out later like he was just some toy. Not to mention, Guilmon was his source of free bread…not that he couldn't steal food or anything, it's just that he had to give credit where credit was due. That Takato kid knew his stuff when it came to the stuff is all but he would rather eat out of a garbage can then be upfront and ask that goggle head to give him some. Hell, he wouldn't even ask, more like demand and/or threaten to set his pants on fire. Point is, he wouldn't go to Takato or any human for anything. No, never again.

Then his mind drifted back to Naruto and Dorumon, which had him stomp on a can he was walking near, crushing it entirely underfoot. Those two…those two were even worse than either Guilmon or Takato. If Impmon didn't like how Guilmon was always caged up then he hated how the blond kid and purple dragon were practically glued to the hip. The few times he's seen them before, either in person or in passing, one was never without the other. Same could be said for that kid Gohan and Dracomon. They were all just too friendly for his tastes, for one thing. He had plans to chuck a few fireballs at Naruto on occasion or even set that furry ass of a dragon's tail on fire when he wasn't looking but he could never find an opening. And now they had the gall to ruin his fun and pull a prank on him!? Granted, he honestly was getting bored messing around with humans all the time. Their reactions, while funny initially, were always the same. Scream, jump, then run. It was so much of a pattern that Impmon called those same results three times before they happened right after.

And as much as Dorumon pissed him the hell off…he grinned at what these recent developments had brought him. A Prank War? He never even thought such a thing existed or could ever exist in that manner. Honestly, who would declare such a contest to an Impmon, whose specialty was to pull pranks out of their gloves? Impmon chuckled to himself. Naruto and Dorumon were setting themselves up for failure, even if there are two of them. This wouldn't be the first time he's had to scam, trick, or other similar things to a multitude of others. Two was easy street, even if they did gain a lucky break and catch him off guard tonight. He rubbed his gloved hands together at the thought of what he would have the two of them do for him once he wins. Dorumon DID say anything one thing the loser had to do for the winner and Impmon would be sure he came out the winner.

Maybe…he'll have it so that they always address him as 'Master' Impmon. Or maybe they would have to give him food every time he demanded it? Or kiss his feet as a sign of submission? The possibilities were totally endless.

"Hehehe," he chuckled to himself, "yeah, 'dat sounds about right. I could have them as my unwilling slaves if I wanted! Ha! I'd like to see 'da look on that furry freaks face when…huh?" Something caught his eye…something large. A Devidramon that was bioemerging and Impmon grew excited at some actual entertainment. "'Dat's more like it! Someone's bio-emerging!" With a cry of 'Ba Boom', he raced off to get closer. Devidramon sensed his presence and turned his head to face Impmon, opening his eyes with a growl. Impmon climbed on top of a small monument to get to eye-level with the Champion level Digimon. He walked forward to get closer to him, feeling confident since Devidramon was trapped in the Digital Field.

"Hey! You there, four eyes! What'cha doin', huh!?" He grinned and placed his hands on his hips. "Aww! Some wittle baby Devidramon can't get out of the Digital Field? Hahaha! Guess you're not so tough now, huh!?" He kept teasing and laughing at Devidramon, a very stupid thing to do of course, and Devidramon wasn't much for the little imp's jokes. He roared at Impmon but it only made him laugh harder since Demidramon couldn't leave the field. He messed up though when he touched it and created a breach in the field, which allowed Devidramon to slowly but surely push his way through it.

Impmon stopped laughing and quickly backed up, gaining a nervous smile. "Aww, come on! I didn't mean it! I was laughin' wit' ya! Hahaha….hehehe…" Devidramon laughed himself and slammed a clawed hand on the monument Impmon stood on which made him fall into the tall grass below. Impmon poked his head out from the grass but yelled in fright when Devidramon moved his head down to him.

"You know…little Rookie runts like you should learn your damn place…lest you be crushed underfoot like the worm you are!" To emphasize his point, Devidramon laughed and rose his large foot. Impmon hopped in the air and screamed before he leaped out of the way in the nick of time, the grass having been flattened by the stomp. The force of the wind sent him tumbling on the concrete, forcing him to land on his face with a groan. Satisfied, Devidramon roared and flapped his wings, taking off into the air with Impmon picking himself up off the ground but stumbling to his rear.

He looked up to see Devidramon flying off. "Ugh…next time…I should just keep my big mouth shut."

While Devidramon flew off, causing havoc in the streets and he flew past many pedestrians and knocking away anything that wasn't super heavy or nailed down from his wind turbulence, the Tamers all got the notification on their respective Digivices. Dorumon and Naruto, who Transformed back to normal, were already on their way since they were close. Dorumon was in his battle mode while the two of them hopped rooftop after rooftop to chase him down.

"Well, that guy definitely isn't one for hiding himself," Naruto commented as he got Devidramon's data.

"I sure as hell ain't complaining. Just makes it easier to get to him and then take him out." Dorumon said as he landed on the side of a building before running across its surface while Naruto landed on a bar and leaped to another building with him.

"Hey, guys! Up here!" The two of them stopped and turned around to see Gohan and Draco flying towards them. Naruto and Dorumon waved them down, where the latter two landed in front of them.

"Hey, Gohan. Draco. 'Bout time you guys made it." Naruto said while Gohan nodded.

"Well, of course, you two had a head-start. You were out looking for Impmon after all." He replied.

Dorumon rose a finger-claw. "And you can consider him pranked."

Draco rolled his eyes before sighing, lightly slapping his forehead with a paw. "And that's honestly what you consider taking care of him? Wouldn't a more permanent solution be more…I don't know, effective?"

Naruto gave him a deadpanned expression. "Oh, and that's not even the best part. He even decided ALONG with Impmon that we should have a Prank War with him. Loser has to do any one thing the winner asks of them, ya' know?"

Draco and Gohan blinked once before looking to Dorumon who shifted his eyes sideways, trying to avoid their gaze. Draco held up a clawed finger with his eyes closed as if he tried to process exactly what he heard. He felt like he didn't believe it at first but he knew he had to. He pointed said finger at his brother. "You what? You're playing a betting game with him!?"

Dorumon held up his arms as a large sweatdrop fell from the back of his head. "H-Hey! Come on, bro! I'm just…I figured the lesson would sink in if he got beaten at his own game is all! Okay, I admit, maybe the…wager is a little bit heavy but me and Naruto here have the advantage! 2-on-1, ya' know?" He gave a nervous chuckle while Draco's head dropped backward, facing the night sky as he massaged his left temple. Gohan laughed a little bit at his expression before raising an eyebrow at the purple Digimon.

"Well,…it's definitely…unorthodox. I'll give you that much, Dorumon. But are you sure it's a good idea? Sounds to me like you kinda threw yourself and Naruto right into Impmon's territory here and I'm not sure how that'll turn out."

"Right!? That's what I've been trying to say to him!" Naruto started out but he sighed and smirked, patting Dorumon on the head. "Though…if it's what we gotta do…then I guess we're just going to win. We'll show Impmon, right buddy?"

Dorumon grinned broadly at him, showing off his many fangs. "Ultimate Tag-Team?"

Naruto nodded in confirmation. "Ultimate Tag-Team."

Draco cleared his throat, catching all three's attention. "Um, in case you two have forgotten…" he pointed his left finger to the side to show that Devidramon has flown even FURTHER away and was now perched on a taller skyscraper then what they were currently on. Both Dorumon and Naruto sweatdropped at forgetting about the enemy Digimon that they needed to take down.

"Gah! How did he get so far away!?" Naruto and Dorumon yelled in shock which had Draco running a paw down his face.

"You idiots. All we did was just distract each other." He said with a sigh. "We can still catch up to him though."

"Uh…we have another issue." Gohan piped up, making the other three look at him and waiting for him to elaborate. He gave the simple suggestion of pointing his finger over the building instead. Following the digit, they saw Guilmon was running as fast as he could towards enemy Digimon.

"It's Guilmon!" Dorumon exclaimed.

"Which means that Takato must not be far behind. That also means the others will be here, too." Draco stated. He had mixed feelings about wanting to see Rika and Renamon again and I bet that those two felt the same after what Draco did to them. But since he's gotten his point across loud and clear about what happens when his brother is in danger, he was willing to let his personal feelings drop.

"Let's get down there," Gohan said before they all jumped down.

On the ground, Takato, who made it to the fight, covered his face as Devidramon swooped over him and Guilmon who ducked under him. Takato pulled out his Digivice and scanned their new opponent.

"Whoa! Devidramon! Man, he gives the 'evil eye' a whole new meaning. Hm, Champion level Virus-type, ouch. That 'Crimson Claw' attack looks nasty! Other attacks are 'Red Eyes' and 'Demonic Gale'. Really have to be on the lookout for those."

He looked up from his Digivice to Guilmon, who was growling even louder, staring Devidramon down. To be honest, Takato was a little nervous about going against Devidramon with just the two of them. Especially since he was a Champion level but after the fiasco with Allomon X and the bit of training he and Guilmon had with Henry, Terriermon, Gohan, Draco, Naruto, and Dorumon, his confidence overcame his nerves.

"Guilmon, let's take him down, boy!"

Guilmon didn't turn to him but he nodded in agreement. "Right!"

The group of four that jumped from the roof landed to a secluded spot near the action before running out. They saw Rika, Renamon, Henry, and Terriermon looking up at the fight as well.

"Guys!" Gohan exclaimed as they ran over. The four of them turned to the other four with Rika tensing slightly at the sight of Draco. Renamon caught his eyes before he shrugged and looked back up to the fight. She wouldn't say anything either but she most definitely had respect for his power, even if she had no idea how he performed half of the feats he did when he defeated her.

"Wow. You lot sure are slowpokes, huh?" Terriermon quipped but Dorumon narrowed his eyes at him slightly.

"Oh, shut it. We were already in the area." He said before Naruto looked at them.

"Guys what are you just standing around for!? Shouldn't we be helping him?" Rika sighed and decided to relay what Renamon said, even though she didn't want too. She also knows that Renamon wasn't going to repeat herself either.

"Renamon says that this fight is for Guilmon. We can't get involved…which sucks in my opinion."

"What? But that makes no sense!" Naruto responded but Draco spoke up.

"In a way, it actually does. We might work best when we work together but we have to grow individually. It's especially true in the midst of battle. Renamon must feel that it is finally time for Guilmon to get stronger."

"Stronger?" Gohan asked before his eyes widened. "You mean-"

"-Guilmon has to learn to Digivolve. Yes." Draco said with a nod. Naruto and Dorumon blinked before they looked back to the fight. Guilmon and Takato were most definitely putting their training and current battle experience to use. Compared to Allomon X, Devidramon wasn't as tough. Yeah, he had various different ways to combat them while also capable of flight but even so, they were holding their own.

Takato grabbed some cards and got ready to use them. He slashed one card while then slashing one right after. "Double Digi-Modify! Hyper Wing and Speed Activate!"

"Wait, Double Digimodify?" Rika repeated, the phrase new to her.

"He's using two cards at once?" Henry asked with slight surprise. He never even thought of doing that before.

"I wish I had some popcorn right now," Terriermon said with a smile.

Back to the fight, Guilmon grew 6 white wings of energy before he shot off into the air in a red and white blur. Devidramon growled and leaped into the sky as well, claws glowing with deep red power.

"Crimson Claw!" He slashed his claws at Guilmon but he blurred above the attack before opening his mouth.

"Pyro Sphere!"

Guilmon shot one blast which detonated when it collided with Devidramon's mouth. He then shot two more blasts after that which had the same effect. Devidramon growled from the attacks and even though they didn't hurt too bad they still stung a bit.

"You little pest!" He swung around and struck Guilmon with his tail, making the dino gasp in pain before he was sent crashing into the bridge. 'Hyper Wing' vanishing, Guilmon groaned but he got up relatively easily only to have Devidramon charging at him from above.

Takato grabbed another card. "No, you don't! Digi-Modify! Power Activate!"

Guilmon felt a rush of strength overtake him before he reared his head back and let loose with his signature move.

"Pyro Sphere!"

While a normal 'Power' modification would increase the respective Tamed Digimon's strength by at least X3, this shot seemed to have been X5 at the very least. The training on top of that boost madeGuilmon fire a blast of energy that was the size of two minivans. Devidramon's eyes widened in shock as the blast exploded against him. He roared in pain before being knocked to the ground, body steaming a bit from the heat of the attack. Below them, Naruto and Dorumon fist pumped at their successful onslaught.

"Look at 'em go! They're really putting in the work!" Dorumon exclaimed while Naruto nodded.

"It's thanks to all that training!"

Rika and Renamon raised their eyebrows at that. "Training? What are you talking about?" She asked. The two looked at her and stuck out their tongues.

"Not gonna tell you," Naruto said while Rika turned to him and growled.

"Sticking your tongue out, little kid? What are you gonna do next? Ask me to pull your finger?"

Terriermon snickered. "To be honest, that'd be funny."

Henry sighed and placed a hand on his face. "Terriermon, no. Don't join in on this."

"What?" His partner asked with a shrug but Henry shook his head.

Gohan looked over to Rika and Renamon, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder. The shinobi looked at the alien in confusion. "Gohan?"

"I don't think there's any harm in telling them about the training." The Saiyan boy said making them both gap at him.

"What!? Come on! These two don't need to know!" Dorumon said pointing to them. He didn't want those girls in on what should strictly be guy-bonding time. What better way to grow closer to friends than to beat the hell out of each other for the fun of it? Those two would take the fun away, especially since Dorumon HAS to be able to defeat Renamon on his own.

"Well, you guys need to admit, they're like us. Tamer and Digimon so they have every right we do to train and better themselves. No one should be allowed to NOT train." Naruto and Dorumon could feel that Gohan was serious about this yet he couldn't understand why. They had no idea about how Gohan's mom always gripped to him or his father about him wanting to train just so that he wouldn't be a burden to them anymore. It was always like that and if Gohan was able to help his new friends and acquaintances better themselves then he would help them.

Before they could speak more on the matter, they heard Devidramon calling out an attack.

"Red Eyes!"

A red silhouette of spectral eyes fired from Devidramon's eyes and connected with Guilmon. The red dino gasped as he was outlined in a red aura and unable to move.

"H-Hey! I…I can't move!"

"Wha-Guilmon!" Takato exclaimed while watching Devidramon fly high into the air. They heard him chuckle before he flapped his wings and dove down for him. "Guilmon, you gotta get out of the way!"

Guilmon grit his teeth but couldn't do anything to move. "Grrr, I can't!"

"Demonic Gale!"

Red bursts of sharp energy whipped about as he flew over Guilmon, making him yell in pain. Not only that but the winds were powerful enough to carry him into a wall hard enough to create cracks in it.

"Oh, no!" Takato yelled as he left their field of vision.

"Let's get up there!" Henry exclaimed with Draco, Dorumon, and Renamon nodding. Since this was the climax of the battle, they didn't have time to go the long way to get up there. So, Dorumon grabbed Henry and hefted him to his back. Before the Tamer could ask him what he was doing, he held on tightly when the Digimon leaped high and up to the bridge.

Renamon picked up Rika and leaped her over as well while Draco, Gohan, and Naruto leaped over themselves. They landed behind the previous party so Henry, Rika, Terriermon, and Renamon didn't see the humans leap up.

Dorumon let go of Henry who breathed and looked down to him. "Okay, no doing that without warning me first!"

"I thought it was pretty fun though," Terriermon said before they ran over to see Takato standing near Guilmon. Devidramon grinned as he held him in his claw Guilmon in his grasp. Unknown to them, Calumon floated to the sight, looking at the fight.

Takato gripped his Digivice tight and grit his teeth. His nerves were really getting to him as Devidramon was definitely much stronger than he initially thought. But they weren't going to lose this fight. They couldn't afford to lose! And Takato knew that Guilmon had so much more potential to reach and that they were close to getting there!

"You can do it Guilmon! We've just gotta push ourselves even further and beat this guy! So, let's show Devidramon what we're made of, alright!?"

Even though the pain of being crushed Guilmon looked to Takato and nodded his head. "A-Alright! I'll try my best!" Guilmon growled before he gave a roar from the deepest depths from the pit of his stomach. No, a roar from the pit of his DigiCore which made everyone in the vicinity besides Davidramon cover their ears from the sound. A few seconds later Guilmon began to glow a bright red while Calumon's Zero Unit glowed the same bright red energy. Takato's Digivice glowed a bright white light as a female automated voice echoed through it.

DIGIVOLUTION

"Grah! What is this!?" Devidramon roared as he took several steps back. Guilmon got up as his whole body was encased in a cocoon of crimson data.

"GUILMON DIGIVOLVE TOO…"

Guilmon's form began to grow while his skin peeled away to show a data array pattern underneath. Once his original form was gone came the new power. His skin returned to him but with new black marks and designs on them. He grew blades from his forearms. He gained horns on his head and lastly a full head of white hair that reached down to the back of his neck. The data burst away to show his new form.

Everyone was in awe but none more so than Takato who saw his drawing, once again, come to live in Guilmon's Champion form. He couldn't help but grin in elation.

"Bull's eye, baby. It's Growlmon!"

Both Takato and Guilmon were in synch as they exclaimed the new transformation together.

"GUILMON DIGIVOLVE TOO…GROWLMON!"/"Guilmon Digivolve too…Growlmon!"

After the Digivolution, Growlmon turned his head to the sky and let off a very loud roar that echoed across the area, once again, making everyone cover their ears at the sound. Even Devidramon flinched a tad from the roar but the thrill of finally have a real challenge overcame any nerves. He too roared and took flight.

Growlmon stepped closer and faced him, readying his newest attack.

"Pyro Blaster!"

This blast was 2 times as strong as Guilmon's enhanced 'Pyro Sphere' through the 'Power' modification. However, Devidramon managed to dodge it as the attack struck the building behind him instead. Growlmon growled under his throat, annoyed that his opponent took to the air once again. So, he dug his claws into the building he hit and climbed up to the top so he could have a better vantage point against Devidramon.

"Back for more?" The Digimon in question taunted before he came flying back down. The blades on Growlmon's forearms flipped forward as if they were scythes and glowed blue with electricity arching from them.

"Dragon Slash!"

He swiped at Devidramon ripping two gashes into the other Champion level Digimon. He roared in pain as him and Growlmon began to grapple each other, trying to overpower their opponent. Everyone else ran over to get a proper view of the action.

"This is good!" Takato exclaimed while Gohan gave a large grin.

"Check it out! Who knew Guilmon had such a cool Champion form!?" He then remembered about what he asked Takato in class earlier today before he chuckled sheepishly and turned to him. "Now that I think of it, I guess you did Takato. You did make it after all."

"What!?" All but Draco and Terrerimon said. Renamon decided to vanish as per usual, watching the fight from a distance.

"What do you mean Goggle-Head made his Champion form!?" Rika exclaimed in confusion. Growlmon headbutted Devidramon who returned the strike before going back to grappling. Takato turned to her and scratched his head.

"Well…I drew Guilmon and he came alive. So, I drew his Champion form too and…well, now we have Growlmon."

"Are you kidding?" Dorumon asked before turning to the only blond of the group. "Naruto! Make sure to draw something badass for me to Digivolve into!"

Naruto gaped at him with wide eyes. "Say what!? I don't know how to draw! Just wait until you Digivolve the right way!"

Dorumon growled and shook his head. "But I wanna be something so big and badass, too! So, draw man! Draw!"

Draco groaned and placed a paw on his face. "Will you two shut up!? We have a battle going on here!"

Just as he said that Devidramon knocked Grolmon away, forcing him to turn around. He grabbed the large dino by his shoulders and took them both into the air. "Going up!" He exclaimed flying them away.

"Okay! Maybe it's not so good!" Takato said with exasperation as they all ran to keep up with them. Growlmon struggled to get loose from Devidramon's grip and Devidramon, being "considerate", dropped the dino several hundred feet through a stone bridge. Takato ran to the end and looked down into the smoke. "Growlmon!"

Through the smoke, Growlmon opened his eyes, which were glowing a deep red. The dust cleared as the glow vanished before he angled his head up. Devidramon was going to come down for another 'Demonic Gale' but Growlmon was having none of that.

"Pyro Blaster!" This blast was even MORE powerful than the previous one, which was a pillar of fire and energy. The force and the glow forced everyone to turn their heads away from the blast while Devidramon was evaporated entirely. The only thing that was left of him was his data. To the victor goes the spoils as Growlmon started absorbing his data, feeling a little boost in his natural powers. Renamon returned to Rika's side to a closer look at the aftermath of the victory. When Devidramon's data was consumed, Growlmon reared his head back and gave one final roar, this one of victory.

The roaring stopped but Growlmon kept growling, the adrenaline of battling having not fully left his system yet. Everyone was quiet for a while before Terriermon spoke up.

"Well… that was a thing." He said to the others. Henry could only nod while Rika sighed and turned to leave.

"I have to admit, I had no idea dino boy had it in him. Guess you were right Renamon." Renamon nodded before Rika began to walk away. "Since Devidramon's taken care of, I'm going now."

No one said anything to her as she turned to leave for there wasn't really anything to say. Renamon chose to walk beside her this time, at least until there was a higher chance of her being spotted by other humans. Then it was back on with her usual vanishing act. Henry nodded, figuring that she had the right idea.

"I think I'm with her on this one. Takato, congrats on Guilmon Digivolving though. But it is getting pretty late."

"Then let's get a move on! I can't miss dinner time!" Terriermon exclaimed making Henry roll his eyes.

"What are you talking about? You're the one riding shotgun on my head, remember? I'm doing all the walking."

"It's because you're such a nice person!" Terriermon said with sparkles in his eyes. Henry sighed and waved to the others.

"See ya' later, guys."

"Bye Henry. See you later." Gohan said with a light wave. Naruto and Dorumon waves their goodbye's too, while Takato worked his way down the rubble to Growlmon catching the other four's attention.

"Takato, wait for a second!" Dorumon exclaimed before they went down as well. Takato was standing in front of Growlmon and was pretty intimidated to have the large Digimon to stare down at him. He couldn't help but feel his legs shaking a bit, hoping that Guilmon was still in there.

"U-Uhh…h-hey, boy. You…you know Who I am, right?" Takato asked, a shaky hand moving to touch Growlmon's leg.

"If he makes any weird moves, we knock him on his ass," Dorumon said while punching a fist in one of his paws. Draco just slapped him over the head making him yelp and hold the injured spot.

"What was that for!?"

"Just shut up and watch." The elder dragon replied. Dorumon grumbled something along the lines of 'annoying brothers' before he continued to watch. Just in case there was funny business, he slowly built up some Chakra in his muscles.

Growlmon looked down to Takato and stopped growling. The clouds that were hovering over the moon blew away, making Growlmon look a whole lot less ominous looking. He blinked and began to speak.

"Takatomon? Are…you afraid…of me?" He began to lightly tear up at seeing Takato a little apprehensive but that was all the goggle-wearing Tamer needed to touch him without any fear. His relief was evident from the sigh, that he let out. The touch on Growlmon's leg then turned into a pretty ridiculous looking hug.

"Are you kidding? I'm not afraid of you Growlmon. I'm just…I'm just glad you still remember me is all."

"Well, of course, I remember you. I mean, I don't know how I could forget. And if I forget you then I forget about the tasty bread, too. I don't ever want to forget that."

The other sweatdropped and Growlmon's second reason before they begin to collectively laugh. Of, course, only Growlmon would say something like that but that just meant that he didn't change at all.

Draco walked closer to him. "Growlmon, great work on Digivolving. I knew you had it in you."

"Thank you, Draco. Do you think I got stronger?"

"Tch. Obviously." Dorumon said while looking the other way. Naruto grinned and jabbed him with his elbow.

"What? Jealous that it wasn't you?"

Dorumon sputtered before he let crossed his arms and huffed. "What!? Please! The day I'm jealous of Growlmon is the day I become friends with that stupid little imp! I'm badass as is!" He looked down with a pout. "But Digivolving to Champion would be nice though."

"You'll get your turn Dorumon," Gohan said, "you and Draco both." He then looked at Takato and Growlmon. "Alright then, Growlmon, you should probably, um…De-Digivolve, now. I know it'll make Takato feel relieved."

"Yeah," Takato laughs lightly.

"Okay!" Growlmon said with a nod before looking at his body for a couple of seconds. The humans and the other two Digimon were staring expectedly at him, waiting for him to turn back into Guilmon until he looked at them and tilted his head. "How do I do that?"

They group face-faulted before coming back to their proper senses. Takato extended his arms in confusion. "Wait, you don't know how to turn back!?" Growlmon just shook his head negative.

"Dude, it can't be that hard! Terriermon De-Digivolves from Gargomon all the time!" Dorumon exclaimed but Growlmon's expression didn't change.

"I know but I never Digivolved before. This is my first time."

"Also, to be honest, Gargomon had no idea how to turn back into Terriermon. He had to do a lot of weird things to waste energy like…handstands or running or…" Takato trailed off to them which let even bigger sweatdrops slide down their heads.

Naruto crossed his arms and placed his arms behind his head. "Well, this is dumb. Are we supposed to just…wait for him to shrink?"

"But that could take too long!" Takato exclaimed as he placed another hand on Growlmon's leg. "We can't stay here and I have to head home soon!"

"Fine, then let's get outta sight first," Gohan said making them all agree and leave the scene of the destruction. Even later, they made it back to Growlmon's shack with Takato saying that they should try and hide the big guy in there.

"I don't believe that'll work," Draco said crossing his arms and shaking his head. Naruto, Dorumon, and Gohan all nodded their heads in unison while Growlmon sat upon the ground. Mainly so that he doesn't hit his head on any trees.

Growlmon closes his eyes and sighs. "I just wanna go to sleep now. But I can't fit in my shed."

Dorumon chuckles and steps closer to him. "I mean..you probably could, even like this," he then lightly jabs Growlmon in his round belly, "but with how much you scarf down all that bread, I doubt-" His speech was cut off as his red interface began to glow once again. It caught everyone's immediate attention as it slowly glowed bright and brighter. "OH SHIT!" He backed away, holding his skull while looking up at the gem as best as he could.

"That X-Antibody thing!" Takato exclaimed as he also backed away, with Growlmon looking confused but intrigued. He remembered that this was supposed to be Dorumon's special power and that it made Allomon transform into Allomon X.

"Ohhh~ Shiny~" He reached a claw over and was about to touch it but Draco and Gohan grabbed his arm, stopping it. Thankfully, Takato was too on edge and Growlmon was too clueless to realize just how much of a strength feat that had to have been for a supposed human.

"Growlmon, don't touch it! Who knows what could happen if you do that!?" Gohan exclaimed but the Champion level just blinked his head and gave a big smile.

"I could turn into Gorwlmon X, right!? Then I could be even stronger!"

"Growlmon, we're trying to get you to go back to Rookie! Not pump you up even more!" Naruto yelled, flailing his arms. While this was going on, Dorumon was running all over the place, paws still on his head. He ran around trees and bushes, kicking up dust as he went.

"how do I turn it off!? How do I turn it off!?" He kept screaming, not stopping for anything. When he was about to run by Draco, the older dragon let go of Growlmon and grabbed Dorumon by the scruff of his hoodie, stopping him.

"How about you just calm down so we can figure this out! I mean, there has to be a reason for this!" Draco exclaimed, grabbing Dorumon's shoulders tightly. He couldn't afford to be worried since he was trying to ease his little brother.

"I know, but-" Dorumon started but the glow slowly dimmed on the interface. He gasped once more, feeling relieved that it stopped glowing so bright but it didn't go away. In face, Growlmon began to glow a bit as well.

"I…feel tingly," Growlmon said as he looked at himself. Takato sure didn't take it as lightly as his partner through all he could do is stare as flakes of data began to flow from Growlmon into the interface. Growlmon then glowed more and began to shrink until the glow from him vanished, showing him as Guilmon once again. The extra data was finished being absorbed which had the interface stop glowing as well. Guilmon lifted a claw and looked at it before he looked over his whole body once again. He gave a big smile and climbed to his feet. "Hey! I'm Guilmon again!"

Everyone was stunned speechless, staring at Guilmon who was still looking over his body and then to Dorumon who was touching his interface. He tapped it with his claws a few times idly wondering if it was going to suddenly turn back on.

"Just…what is the issue with this…piece-of-shit thing," Dorumon asked in wonder.

"It…sure isn't a consistent power, that's for sure," Gohan said, voice full of confusion.

"One minute, it makes the bad guys get even worse and the next, it can De-Digivolve Growlmon?" Naruto wondered allowed but Takato just sighed and then smiled.

"Well, however it happened, I'm just glad that Guilmon is finally back to normal now," Takato said with a smile, happiness radiating from him at not having to try and find ways to have Guilmon burn away energy. "I don't know what you did Dorumon but thanks! Maybe Guilmon will be able to De-Digivolve back to himself whenever he wants!" He turned to see Guilmon, only to find him not there. "What? Where did?"

"Yes!" They turned to the shack to see Guilmon lying down, munching on some bread that he saved. "I was worried I wouldn't eat my bread tonight! I don't have to worry!" He continues to eat, possibly blushing from stuffing his face but it wouldn't be seen due to his red scales and the darkness of the forest.

Takato just gave a light laugh and shook his head. "Well, seems like I don't have to worry about him then. Meaning that I can head home."

Gohan's stomach grumbled at that moment, making him hold it with a single hand. "Man. I'm really getting hungry."

"That's right! We haven't had dinner yet!" Dorumon exclaimed. "Guys, come on! Let's hurry home!"

The other three nodded while Takato waved to them. "Then I guess I'll see you all later. And thanks for turning Guilmon back, Dorumon."

Dorumon turned to him with a grin and shrugged. "Uh…still, don't know how I did it but no problem." They then ran out of the forest before using their special 'skills' when no one was looking to zoom all the way home.

"Rah!"

"Hah!"

An impressive shockwave erupted from the clearing that was being used as the training ground for Gohan and Draco. Gohan figured that since Draco was becoming adept at using his Ki powers, and at such an impressive rate, then they should switch the focus of their training from controlling said energy to use it in actual combat. This way of training would mean that Draco would learn to harness set amounts of power for any specific action he aims to do and give him, even more, control over it on a more instinctual level than just a practical one.

Right now, the two were locked in a stalemate, their forearms having clashed together with Draco trying to push Gohan back. The half-Saiyan was suppressing his power to be even with Draco's to make the sparring session fair and for his partner to get even more out of their training if he had a fight that was on his level. They both then separated, leaping backward before standing in place and gauging the other. Gohan couldn't help but smirk.

"Great work, Draco. You're getting the hang of fighting this way."

Draco adjusted his stance, getting into the Turtle Hermit one and smiled at him. "Thanks. I had no idea that this is the way that people in your universe fight this way all the time. If I can master this style of battle, then I think I could even defeat an Ultimate level by myself someday."

Gohan gave a light laugh, also getting into the same stance. "Don't get too ahead of yourself. You'll have to learn to use your Ki a whole lot more than what you can do now. And I wouldn't suggest going off to battling Digimon of MetalGreymon's caliber for a while."

Draco grinned. "Might not be helped someday. Least I won't do what Doru will do."

"He is pretty eager to prove his power. As long as we help him manage his swelled head, he'll be fine. Anyway, ready to continue a bit longer? We're going to be going even faster now so try and read my movements."

Before Draco could respond, Gohan charged right at him to which he hastily blocked his face with his arms from the punch that was thrown at him. His eyes widened at Gohan's obvious increase in speed. He didn't power up but if he was moving faster than it would be tough to predict his attacks. Gohan began to punch more and more, making Draco back peddle continuously while blocking the blows as much as he could. He growled, trying not to stay on the defensive and forcefully stopped himself by, just like Renamon, stomped his left foot into the ground. He stood in place and through the blue aura that exploded around him, powered up, throwing back punches while blocking all the same.

Gohan smirked as they stood they, exchanging blows. The ground beneath the two caved in a bit but nothing too serious. Gohan still didn't increase in strength but was moving faster one more. Draco could only even the playing field for so long before he began to get slammed with more blows then he matched or blocked. Pretty soon, he was getting jabbed left and right in the face, chest, stomach, anywhere he couldn't block. With a final punch, Gohan knocked him back.

Draco growled and while flying back he aimed his paws at Gohan, Ki surging once more. "Not yet! HAAA!" Remembering the feeling he had when he fought Renamon, he charged energy into his paws, which also glowed blue. Taking the principle of projecting energy when he flies, he used that to launch his very first energy bomb at his Tamer. Gohan gave a genuine smile and placed his arms out in front of him, catching the blast. It pushed the Saiyan boy back about a foot before he crushed it in his palms, destroying it and kicking up some dust. When it cleared, he was unharmed but has a look of pride on his face.

He then flew over to Draco who was lying on his back and breathing hard. Gohan looked down at him and kept smiling. "Draco, that was amazing! Your very first Ki blast! And it was pretty strong at that!"

Draco tried to catch his breath as best he could and looked up to him. "Yet…you handled it..with no problem."

"Oh, don't be like that. I've been doing this since I was young, you know?" Gohan reached his hand down and grasped Draco's helping him sit up. Draco wiped away the sweat that was dripping down his forehead.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. That's what makes all the difference. Experience."

"And being many times stronger might be a factor," Gohan said full of mirth, making the dragon roll his eyes. Though he would be full of himself to think that he had any hopes of standing a chance against Gohan, it didn't make him feel any better.

'Maybe if I was able to Digivolve too…then how would that affect my power?' He thought, thinking back to Gargomon and Growlmon. But then his mind wondered to Dorumon and the glowing of his interface signifying the use of his X-Antibody. While Draco was the only fighter between the two of them for years until his brother Digivolved, Dorumon has been full of surprises as of late. Sure, they both have new powers through Naruto and Gohan, however, Dorumon has even more hidden potential that none of them knew of.

That X-Antibody.

Just what was it? How does it work? It can go from making Digivolve reach new levels of power without Digivolving or it can even drain the energy from Digimon and make them De-Digivolve. The scary part is that Dorumon has no idea how to control it so what would he become if he does? What could he be capable of? Just how similar was he to Naruto and the Nine-Tails; a being comprised of Chakra and whose powers could technically be used at Naruto's beck-and-call?

Those were scary thoughts.

Draco made a fist and looked at it. 'Even if it seems like I'm reaching further ahead by the day, I won't be able to compare to the three of them in the long run. Doru, Naruto, and Gohan who is also capable of that Super Saiyan transformation. And didn't he say he has one above even that? I don't want to become the weakest link in this team of ours! Dammit!"

Gohan noticed that his partner was in deep thought while staring at his fist the whole time. Placing a hand on his shoulder snapped him out of it. "Hey, you alright?"

Draco blinked and nodded. "Oh. Uh, yeah. Just thinking about how to improve is all."

"Well, there's no need to try and push yourself too hard, too fast. You'll get stronger your own pace, alright?"

"Alright." Draco agreed, seeing no point in dwelling on it for now. Cracking his neck arms when he reached above his head, he stood up in front of Gohan. "So, you know what Naruto and Doru are doing? They didn't come out here to train with us today?"

"I think Hakeida said something about having them playing video games," Gohan said which had Draco roll his eyes.

"Are you serious? Video games? In case they forgotten what Fanglongmon told us, something big is going to happen somewhere in the future. I would think that being able to take time out of every day to get stronger would be more important than something like that."

"Have you seen a video game before?" Gohan asked with a smirk. Draco placed his hands on his hips and tilted his head.

"Have you?"

Gohan sweatdropped at the unexpected counter. Kids his age would be all over video games day in and day out but he was either studying thanks to his mother or training to save the world. Not to mention his best companions are nowhere near his age.

"Well…no. But Hakeida says they're really fun. Maybe we should give 'em a shot ourselves?"

Draco crossed his arms once more. "oh, come on, Gohan. We can fly. We can move at super speed and blow things up with energy blasts. What can be more fun than all of that?"

FINISH HIM!

"Oh, no!" Naruto screamed.

"Oh, yes!" Dorumon exclaimed with a mad grin.

Apparently, once the two got home from school they heard Vergil playing his video games in…what he called his man-cave. Said man-cave was filled with a vast assortment of video games that he brought over from or ordered from the states, figurines or various anime and video game characters, two comfy couches and two comfy chairs, two TVs as large as the one in the living room, a bathroom, and even a decent sized mini fridge. Anyway, they came downstairs and saw him playing his PlayStation 3 and Mortal Kombat 9. Both had never seen anything like a video game system before, they asked if they could play and Vergil said 'why the hell not? You guys are older than Hakeida.' Granted, Digimon had no true ages but he was sure that Dorumon seemed to have been possibly older than Naruto in terms of personality. Draco said something about the Rookie stage naturally being adolescence, right? So, he just guesses for Dorumon to be in the 15-16 range while Draco acted as if he was 18.

So, after handing they both two controllers, teaching them some combo's, and showing them where the combo list was in the pause menu, they got to play their first ever video game! That one was rated M for 18 and up. Dorumon capable of using the controller and pushing the buttons because his first claws acted as thumbs while his other two on each paw acted as fingers. And right now, he was playing as Scorpion while Naruto was playing as Liu Kang. Or should I say, Scorpion was about to utterly kill Liu Kang?

"Get him! You member the button combo!?" Vergil exclaimed while Naruto turned to him with a glare.

"Don't freaking help him kill me, dumbass!" Naruto exclaimed but his heart sank when Dorumon grinned and shouted his response.

"Yeah, I remember!" Dorumon inputted the commands in the proper order before there was the sound of Mortal Kombat's patented 'Duh-Duh-Duuuuuh!'

"Oh, God, no!" Naruto yelled as Scorpion removed his mask, showing off the skull underneath. He then spat fire to Liu Kang's feet as the man was swallowed in a swathe of flames before he was nothing but bones. Naruto's face was with eyes and his mouth made a circle.

FATALITY!

"Get! Dunked! On!" Dorumon shouted, throwing his arms in the air. This…this was fun! He let the controlled drop from his paws to the couch while Naruto slumped back, smacking his face in defeat with a groan. This was the third match in a row and Dorumon whupped him…again! Why was it that he was so freaking good at this game!?

Naruto growled at him, making a fist. "You know what!? Screw off! Let's play another fighting game!"

"Haha! Hey, changing games isn't gonna make you feel better, Naru~ You'll still be getting your orange butt handed to ya'!" Dorumon exclaimed in a teasing manner, with a grin but Naruto shook his head.

"No, it WILL make a difference! I don't know how, but you're good at Mortal Kombat, I accept that! But it can't be the same for everything!" He turned to Vergil and exclaimed, "What other fighting games do you got!?"

"Quite a few of 'em." The man said as he walked to a neatly stacked pile of games on a shelf that was only for PS3 games. "Let's see…we've got-"

"Naruto! Can you come up here for a moment!?" They heard Honoka call out from upstairs. The three males stopped their shenanigans and looked to the orange-clad ninja who just blinked in confusion.

"Did...did you do something?" Vergil asked him but Naruto just shook his head.

"No, way. I mean…I don't think I did?" He asked before getting up and heading upstairs. Dorumon watched him go up before turning to Vergil and tossing him the controller Naruto was using before he grinned.

"Wanna go a couple rounds?"

Vergil snorted and took it, a snarky-looking smirk on his face. "You beat Naruto and you think that makes you qualified to face the master of these games? You'll be begging for mercy in no time."

"Then you better not face yourself look dumb and get beaten by a noob!" With that, Dorumon had a new victim to torment in Mortal Kombat.

For Naruto, he wandered into the living room to find Honoka there. Not only that but Gohan and Draco were in there as well. "Uh, what's going on?" He asked but Gohan shrugged.

"No, idea. She called us in here from outside. Wouldn't say why."

"Well, I'm saying why now," Honoka said before going to a table and grabbing two things before walking back, "or should I say, show you?" She showed what was in her hands to the three of them, which was actually cellphones. One was orange and black while the other was blue and white. The phones themselves looked like smartphones but weren't all that big and pretty bulky looking.

Draco leaned in and gave them curious looks, never seeing the devices before. "I'm…confused. What are these, Honoka?"

"Why, they're cell-phones, of course!" Said she before holding up the blue one. "I should explain since Digimon don't have these. You use a cell-phone or any kind of phone to call someone else on their phone. This is how people keep in contact with one another since practically everybody has one. Though these kinds of models can do a few more things than just call people. Like show a map of your location, the use of the internet, take pictures, play music…" she stopped before laughing a bit, "anyway, the main topic is Vergil and I can stay in contact with you. I figured it'd be best while you lot are doing your Digimon fighting business so who knows what can happen."

"A phone, huh?" Naruto wondered which had Honoka hand him his. She used the one intended for Gohan as an example.

"The power button is on the right side. The two buttons on the left control how loud it is. Finally," she applied pressure to her thumb and slide it across the top portion of the phone, showing that it slid up which revealed that the lower half was actually a keyboard, "use this keyboard to type things."

"So…they're like mini computers you can also communicate with," Draco said with an interested look on his face as Honoka gave Gohan his phone. He and Naruto both turned them on and started experimenting with the touchscreen, not seeing much on the main menu. They saw an icon with a phone and one that looked like a person on paper next to it.

"What do these mean?" Naruto asked, showing Honoka his phone.

"The phone icon shows the calls you made and the ones you received. The icon next to it is your contacts. It shows the numbers of who you have in it. You'll already find each other's numbers in there, my number, and Vergil's. But you both have to fill it up with other numbers yourselves, like those other Tamer friends of yours for instance."

"Do they even have phones?" Draco cupping his chin.

"No idea. I never asked. But then again, I never needed a phone before." Gohan replied back to him. He looked at her and asked, "Anything else we should know about these?"

"Besides the fact they run on a limited charge, not really. You have to learn the rest yourself but that's the basics." Honoka said. Gohan and Draco nodded while Naruto could swear steam was pouring out of his head at the info dump. Calling people, he could perfectly understand. Limited charge? Sure, okay. It doesn't last forever but everything else that she said…it was just difficult for him to keep up as he grumbled to himself, jealous as he looked at his two friends nod their heads.

'How the heck did they understand all of that? I'm still trying to remember all she said these phone things could do!' He was snapped out of his musings when she then handed him and Gohan cords with plugs at the ends of them.

"You plug the small piece into the phone and the plug into an outlet. That'll charge them and I suggest that you boys do it every night. You never know when a weak charge and your phone turning off will be a large inconvenience."

"GOD, WHY!? HOW!?" They jumped slightly at hearing Vergil scream while Dorumon's laughing a second after made them sweatdrop.

"OH, WHAT HAPPENED, VERGIL!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA TEACH ME A LESSON BUT APPARENTLY YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL YOURSELF!"

"ONE MORE TIME!"

"ONE MORE TIME WAS THREE TIMES AGO! GET OVER THE FACT YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!"

"Just what in the world are those two on about?" Draco asked in an irritated tone with Naruto groaning as he rolled his eyes.

"Video games. Dorumon has no remorse."

Draco looked at Naruto and shook his head. "You two would honestly neglect training for that? What's the big deal about it? It's like playing the Digimon card game instead of paying attention to your real Digimon."

Naruto gave a light glare at him. "Hey, Takato and Henry play it. And…I guess Rika."

"They're the exception. They've played it BEFORE possessing their Digimon and it's integral to their battle styles. But let's say if you started playing and you were to pay more attention to that then Doru. Then you can see where I'm coming from."

Naruto grinned. "Hey, you wouldn't be saying that unless you tried it yourself."

"Well, I personally wouldn't mind giving it a shot," Gohan said making Draco stare at him incredulously before sighing.

"Great, now I can't be the only one left out. Especially not if Gohan is doing it." The two laughed at his throwing in the towel on indulging himself in a new manner of fun. Yet Draco ignored it before turning to Honoka. "By the way, I haven't seen Hakeida today. The little guy would be trying to have me and Doru play around with him at this point."

"Oh, don't mind him," Honoka stated, "sometimes, after school, he has a friend whose house he visits occasionally. Either Vergil and I will pick him up before it's dinner time."

"Speaking of dinner time…" They looked to the doorway and saw Dorumon there wearing a big smile on his face, "Naruto, we should go get somethin' to snack on! Maybe visit Takato and try some of that bread his family makes!"

Naruto gave him a deadpanned expression. "Why do you look so happy?"

Dorumon showed some teeth and glanced away. "Oh, no reason. Just put Vergil in his place is all. I think he's wallowing in self-pity"

Gohan sweatdropped. "Sounded like it was a bit too serious down there."

"Ha! For him, it was! Guess the student surpassed the master!" Dorumon exclaimed with an even bigger grin on his face.

Honoka sighed and shook her head. "You boys and your video games."

"Video games are awesome! Don't diss what you haven't tried," Dorumon said before he turned to Naruto. "So, we goin' to Takato's or what?"

Naruto shrugged and pocketed his phone and charger. "Yeah, I guess it couldn't hurt to go and try some of that famous bread of his family's. Maybe even wonder how Guilmon is doing."

Naruto looked at Gohan and Draco. "Hey, do you two wanna come with? We could all get some bread together."

Gohan looked to Draco, who shrugged his shoulders. So, the Half-Saiyan nodded for them both. "Yeah, we can make a day out of it. And since Guilmon can Digivolve now, that means we should help him and Takato with properly fighting with that power."

Honoka raised her hands before walking to the doorway. "Well, while the four of you go out to do more 'Digimon things' I'm going to do 'culinary' things and get to work on dinner. Don't be afraid to call me or Vergil if you need anything."

"Okay." They collectively said before she left to go to the kitchen.

Impmon was upset….yet again. The emotion he usually felt after feeling happy from someone else's torment that he might have been the cause of. Okay, he always is the cause of it and he's proud to declare it as such. But this time, he was, once again, upset. And this stems from his feelings towards last night. Sure, he just wanted to have a little fun with that Devidramon but that didn't seem too bright of an idea in hindsight. Impmon IS a mon of current action and not much for forethought. And when he thought he'd get a good beatdown of Devidramon taking out the pineapple head, Guilmon, who was nothing but a digital lapdog in his eyes (even more so than the usual Tamed Digimon) the red dino had the gall to make the fight even…by Digivolving!

"Fuckin' what!?" Impmon grumbled to himself in a harsh manner, gritting his fangs in frustration. Walking down an alleyway, he punched the wall beside him, leaving a dent the size of his fist. That just…wasn't fair at all! How did HE do it!? Just because he was a Tamed Digimon!? "Dat's so damn stupid! It's dumb!"

Especially considering that he believed Guilmon to be pretty weak despite his size. The tub of bread 'N' peanut butter was just a pushover despite being a large Rookie. And yet he can Digivolve into such a monster of a Champion level now? He absolutely obliterated Devidramon and it irked Impmon. He'd have no hope of even scratching that guy as much as he hates to admit something like that to himself. Yet even before Digivolution, Guilmon put up one hell of a fight, giving his opponent the good 'one-two' before he was caught by those 'Red Eyes' and was forced to move.

"But 'dat wasn't HIS strength. 'Dat goggle-wearin' dork was helpin' him," Impmon said as he made it to the other end of the alleyway, still in his thoughts. "Dat's the only reason pineapple head did so well as a Rookie. If that damn human wasn't there…" He shook his head. That only reinforced his hatred for Tamed Digimon! They needed someone to hold their hands when the fight got to tough and that just kept them stagnant! Hence why he won't EVER accept any humans to fight his battles for him. He would fight opponents, defeat them, and load as much data as possible. That way, he'd gain his power through his own hands and Digivolve himself.

"Though pineapple head is second on my list. Who I should be focusing on is-"

"Alright! We're here!" His head jerked upwards when he heard another familiar voice. Well, well, what do you know? It was the two weird Tamers even by human standards. What were their names again? The kid with big black hair is Gohan and the aquamarine dragon Digimon is Dracomon. Wait, didn't he take the 'mon out of his name for some reason? That was also dumb. But Impmon was focused on Naruto and Dorumon the most, especially because of what happened before. Using his own tricks and scaring him out the blue like that. He saw Gohan and Naruto, once again, atomize their Digimon and place them in their Digivices and walk into the bakery.

Impmon shivered at seeing that once more. If Tamed Digimon were like pets in his eyes then those two Digivices were like cages. He sure as hell wouldn't let them do whatever they did to their partners to HIM. Back on track, all he was thinking about since that night was that Prank War that was declared between him and Dorumon.

"Who do those bozo's think they are? Trying to get in a war of pranks with an Impmon is just beggin' for defeat! I'ma nail that purple fleabag first…but what should I do?" He walked out of the alleyway and leaped from parked cars to light posts, and then to the top of the small buildings as he got a good look down both ends of the road. He spotted a pretty interesting place and leaped over to it before realizing it was a barbershop. "Hmm…I can work with 'dat. Hehehe." His first plan formulating in his head, he leaped down and snuck inside. Sometimes, bein' small was the best.

At the Matsuki Family Bakery, the three kids were all carrying two bags of various bread, rolls, and peanut butter which was mainly for Guilmon, who they were heading too at the moment. Takato also called Henry and asked for him and Terriermon to meet up with them at the desired location as well. Dorumon wished he was carrying a bag, the bread staring him in his face and making him drool yet he had to stay in the Digivice for now.

"What!? You guys have new phones now!?" Takato exclaimed in shock because he himself didn't have one. "I mean my parents can't trust me with anything, especially a cell-phone."

"I don't think it's a big deal, really," Gohan said with a shrug. "Back where I used to live, I never needed to cellphone before. And all of my friends didn't have them either."

"Then how did you all meet up? How many times could you?" Takato asked.

"Well, we lived pretty close to one another…relatively speaking," Gohan replied. Yeah, when you could fly faster than a jet plane, relativity through distance was the only explanation. Besides, it's not like his house didn't have a phone line.

"Well, I can't wait to start using mine! I don't get much of it but it'll sure help to stay in contact with…uh, I guess Henry and…maybe Rika? You know, if they have cell-phones." Naruto said, slightly unsure.

Talato sighed, wishing he was in the loop of cellular devices. "Well, I may not have a cell-phone but I do still have my house phone. I can give you guys that and it'll be better than nothing."

"Yeah, that can work," Gohan said as they continued their trek. Later, they were at Guilmon's shack, Dorumon and Draco having been released from their Digivices. Henry and Terriermon had gotten there at the exact same time they did and were on board with sharing a large amount of food between them before they got down to helping Guilmon train as Growlmon.

The humans sat together while the Digimon were all together, both groups having laughs at one thing or another yet the male Tamers was exchanging some sort of tips for battles they each came up with. Takato and Henry obviously swapping ideas easier because they used the cards while Naruto and Gohan didn't. Yet that didn't mean that they weren't all contributing with one another easily. At that moment, Dorumon felt the call of nature coming. Throwing another piece of bread into his mouth, he stood up and walked a fair distance away to drain the lizard.

Unknown to him and the others Impmon had been following behind, a small white bag tied to his tail. He was waiting for the perfect chance to get his revenge off of Dorumon and/or Naruto and now the opportunity has presented itself! He slowly climbed down a tree and snuck up behind Dorumon who was sighing in relief at his homemade pit-stop. Impmon didn't even care that he was sneaking up on a guy taking a piss as said guy deserved what came right after. Holding a cloth in his hand he rushed behind Dorumon and shoved the cloth to his muzzle. The dragon gasped and tried to fight off whatever was holding him. He turned and slammed Impmon's back into the tree he just relieved himself on, making imp's body shake in pure disgust at the wet spot on his back.

'Oh, you're gonna PAY for 'dat ya' flea-bitten bitch!' He didn't have to wait long as Dorumon slowly lost strength as the fumes in the cloth worked their magic. He slowly stopped moving until he dropped to his front, unconscious. Impmon removed himself and shivered once more before rubbing his back on Dorumon's back, trying to get the feel of waste off of him. "I was just gonna shave off a few hair's...but now I'm gonna be even meaner." Back in the bag, he grabbed a razor and grinned with a twinkle in his eyes. He moved to Dorumon and got to shaving a decent portion of hair from his body in a certain spot. Once he was done, he flipped him to his back and then took off before anyone came looking.

"Dorumon!" Naruto called out as he and Draco were out looking for him. It had been a good 10 minutes since he up and left to go take a leak and now they were wondering what was going on.

"C'mon out of here knucklehead! How long does it take to take a piss!?" Draco called out not knowing what could be taking his brother so long. They then turned when they heard snoring not too far from them. Through some shrubs they saw Dorumon on his back, snoozing away as if he didn't have a care in the world. Naruto and Draco both rolled heir eyes at seeing this.

"So…he gets tired after peeing then?" Naruto said and that actually made Draco chuckle a bit before he kicked Dorumon's side and jerking him awake.

"Gah! Guh! Huh!? W-Wha…what happened!?" He exclaimed as his eyes shifted up to his Tamer and brother, who weren't looking amused.

"Yeah. That's what we'd like to know." Draco said before Dorumon gasped and jumped to his feet and grabbing Draco by the shoulders and started shaking him.

"Wait, I remember now! I was attacked just now! Like out of the blue!" He yelled in Draco's face who then used his greater strength and pride his arms from his shoulders.

"Well, you seem to be okay NOW. Did you at least get a look at who it was?"

Dorumon shook his head negative. "No, I didn't! Dammit, asshole got me from behind and he didn't say anything either! I couldn't tell who it was!"

"Uhhh….I…think I've…got an idea…," Naruto said with his eyes wide, looking at Dorumon's lower back, right above his tail. Draco caught his gaze and looked at the same area once Dorumon whipped around and then grabbed his Tamer's shoulders.

"You do!? Tell me what you know!?"

Naruto blinked and glanced away with a sweatdrop on his face. "I…don't think that I should." The words sounded pretty unsure but that glare Dorumon gave him looked like he was trying to rip the truth from his eyes with his own. Naruto was so thankful that his partner didn't have Sharingan.

Draco's mouth dropped a bit and he flung a hand to his maw to not laugh. "Uhahah-ahem! Um…wow." Dorumon turned his attention to him now and growled a bit.

"What are you laughing at?" Naruto and Draco exchanged looks, wondering if they should say anything though Draco had a more humorous expression on his features, even though his paw covered his muzzle.

Draco just pats the back of Dorumon's back. "I think…just follow us back to the others first."

Dorumon suddenly felt very uncomfortable for being out of the loop at what they were talking about, yet there were underlayers of curiosity and hidden anger. What was he angry at? He wasn't totally sure at the moment but he knew that he'd hate it.

"GRAAAAAAAAHHH! THAT CLOWN-FACED, SHORT-STACK, MOTHER FUCKEEEEER!"

The roar of anger was very powerful and loud. So, much so that everyone had to cover their ears while every bird in the vicinity flew away. Anyone who was walking by a good distance away walked or ran away from the area of the screen, which came from that purple dragon known as Dorumon. He was currently holding Gohan's phone as he looked at a picture of his backside and it took so much self-control to not crush the device in his hands. Above his tail, his fur was shaven (Which would explain why it felt a little breezy back there) and two words were written from the clean hide.

IMPMON'S BITCH

The cute little heart beside it which made it all the more disturbing and despicable. He held the device out to Gohan and forced him to take it back while Terriermon was absolutely laughing his ass off. Even Draco was having a hard time trying to not laugh.

"GAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! Y-You…not ONLY got taken OUT by Impmon but…but he…put a TRAMP-STAMP on you, too!? HAHAHAHA! You got a tramp-stamp of his name! And it looks like he owns that ass of yours!"

"Terriermon! STOP…IT!" Henry shouted at him, not understanding why his partner was being so vulgar. Hell, he had no reason why Dorumon himself was so vulgar ever since they met. Impmon? Eh, he could easily buy that. Little mon was definitely a nuisance. Also, how the HELL did Terriermon know what a tramp-stamp was!? 'I should REALLY revoke his internet privileges.'

Dorumon rounded on Terriermon, his speed knew no bounds as he had the small rabbit up against the tree behind him in an instant. "LITTLE SHIT! You think that's FUNNY, huh!? THEN I GUESS HOME COOKED RABBIT IS FUNNY TOO!" Dorumon meant it. Like in the fight with MetalGreymon, he felt his Chakra reacting and building in his chest in a similar way before he used the 'Fireball Jutsu'. It may have been an accident but if he continued to get triggered like this he was more than likely going to ignite Terriermon and the forest around them in a blaze of rage.

Terriermon began to sweat as he held up his paws. "H-Hey, now! Wait a minute, dude! Y-You started this Prank War with him, right!? So…you can't get mad at ME for what he did! Hehehe-ahem! I mean, I'm not TRYING to laugh I just happen to be-GAH," Dorumon increased his grip, "getting…my windpipe…crushed."

Takato took a tentative step forward. "Whoa, WHOA, Dorumon! Calm down! Don't suffocate the guy!"

Dorumon growled and calmed down…barely before he plopped Terriermon on his ass, the rabbit Digimon coughing. "Holy…hell. M-Moumentai, Dorumon."

He jumped when Dorumon let a hole in the tree above him for he punched it. He grits his fangs as a massive tick mark grew on his head. "Take it easy!? There's a tramp-stamp 5 inches above my ass with that little bitch-ass clown's name mocking me whenever I go…and you're saying take it easy?" His voice got dangerously low which had Terriermon sweating and trying to make himself look as meek as possible.

Naruto grabbed some bread with peanut butter on it and threw it at Dorumon. "Eat this!"

Like a machine, he whirled around, jumped, and caught it in his mouth before he began to eat in a hangry fashion…for he was hangry. Then looked to everyone else and began to speak while eating. "'Dis…means…WAR!"

Everyone sweatdropped while Takato scratched his head. "Uh…I thought it already was."

Dorumon swallowed and punched a paw in his other hand. "Then THIS TIME, I'm gonna go to war! Naruto, you with me!?"

Naruto deadpanned while his eyes were closed, no longer knowing what the hell was going on with this situation. "I'm still reeling from what just happened. I mean, I've done a whole lot of my fair share of pranks but…I'm actually surprised I NEVER thought of doing something so simple yet effective."

Dorumon rushed toward him now, legs on his body while his claws gripped the rim of the blonde's hoody, tears of betrayal flowing down his eyes. "DON'T RESPECT THIS!"

Guilmon, the one who has been quiet this whole time rose a claw in the air as if he was a child in school "Um…excuse me?" Everyone looked at him before he looked to Takato. "Uh…I'm confused, Takatomon. Can I ask something?"

"I…" Takato looked at the others and shrugged before nodding. "Yeah, boy. What's up?"

"Well…uh…what's a 'tramp-stamp'? Oh! And I also wanna know, what's a 'shit'? Dorumon says that a lot and I wanna know what it means!"

Everyone's face looked like a deer caught in the headlights at the red dinosaurs questions. They weren't expecting Guilmon's child-like innocence to just slap-box them all collectively in the face like that. Terriermon REALLY couldn't hold it this time and laughed his ass off once more, not even capable of saying words about this. Hell, even Dorumon nearly forgot his anger as he stared at Guilmon intently with disbelief before he fell to his paws and knees. His body rapidly lurched before he threw his head back and started to die laughing. Gohan placed his hand against his face.

'Oh…my God. I…I don't even…' Hearing a slapping sound, he turned to see Draco had up and done the same, slapping his face in pure disbelief. First Dorumon gets a forced-on tramp-stamp from Impmon and now Guilmon is asking questions about things he should probably stay ignorant of? Takato gained an embarrassed blush on his face until his whole face was red. Oh, why couldn't he have been born with the mindset of a teenager when he created him?

"I'm not tellin' him," Draco exclaimed while waving his hand.

"Not it!" Gohan exclaimed, raising his own hand.

"Not it!" Naruto and Henry, both said just as rapidly with Takato gasping and looking at Dorumon and Terriermon. They were still laughing! If he was fast enough-

"NOT IT! HAHAHA!" They both screamed before they went back to dying. Takao gasped and shook his head rapidly.

"NO! NOT ME! PLEASE! I…I CAN'T EXPLAIN TO HIM THOSE THINGS!" Takato yelled, getting on his knees and clasping his hands together as if praying for his friends to step up but no one did. Takato turned to Draco who leaned his head back, not feeling comfortable at the pleading look the boy was giving him. "Draco, you raised Dorumon, right!? So YOU must have talked to him about these kinds of things!"

"Nope," Draco said with a shake of his head, "I only explained as he began to use words and phrases someone of his age at the time shouldn't have been doing. And explaining only reinforced his use of them. I…can't in good conscience do the same with Guilmon less he develops a personality like Terriermon…or Doru. I doubt you want either of those."

"But he WON'T be like that! He's…he's Guilmon for crying out loud!" Takato said, throwing his arms to the side.

Draco rose his arms and shrugged. "Well, if you're so sure he won't change his personality or use of vocabulary then you're perfectly equipped to deal with this yourself. And he asked you personally anyway."

Takato felt his face slowly going blue in depression while Guilmon looked around at his friends, wondering if he asked something he shouldn't have. But…he couldn't have, right? He just wanted to know what his friends were talking about is all because he didn't know what a tramp-stamp or 'shit' was. And no one was reprimanding him for it but no one also seemed to wanna tell him. He let out a groan to catch their attention. "Come on! Can someone please tell me what they mean!? I wanna know!"

At that moment, the Digimon all stiffened up as they turned in separate directions. Dorumon and Terriermon looked one way while Guilmon and Draco looked at the other. The humans had a pretty good idea of what this meant.

"Let me guess, a Digimon is coming through?" Gohan asked to which Draco nodded.

"Yes. It's faint but it's there."

"Wait, but there's one coming through from this way," Terriermon said, absentmindedly wiping the tears he cried due to laughing from his eyes.

The humans all pulled out their Digivices and opened up their map features. Yeah, there were definitely two signatures coming through…yet they small. And pretty far away.

"No wonder it's hard for you guys to pick up. Those seem to be on the outer edges of the city." Gohan said as his eyes narrowed. Takato scratched his head.

"Oh, man! How are we going to cover so much ground so fast!? Who knows what kind of things these Digimon could destroy in that amount of time!?"

While Henry and Terriermon thought the same, Naruto and Gohan looked to one another. Naruto grinned and pointed a finger in front of him to where his signal was going. "Me and Dorumon get this one while you both get that one?"

Gohan smirked and nodded. "Oh, yeah. Good luck." He turned to Takato and Henry. "Don't worry about catching up, guys. We can handle it."

"Wait, what? What are you guys-" Henry was about to ask but they already took off through the forest, intent on hoofing it to those locations? "Guys, you won't get there faster just by rushing! Aaaaand, they're already gone." He sighed and looked at Takato. "What do you think we should do?"

"Takatomooooon!" Guilmon whined making the two remaining humans and Terriermon look to the red dino who had an expecting look on his face. Takato ignored Terriemron's snickers and stood up.

"Yeah, no. Maybe we should just do what we came here to do and train." He began to push Guilmon to the clearing that they used for training. "Hopefully, it'll get YOUR mind out of where it shouldn't go."

Guilmon turned and looked at him with a questioning look. "Huh? But…where is it going?"

"In the gutter~," Terriermon said in a sing-song voice, hitch-hiking on Henry's shoulders. The Chinese boy sighed before following Takato and Guilmon.

Naruto and Dorumon were hopping from building to building in blurs of orange-black and purple. They broke off from Gohan and Draco once the four of them were clear of any spectators of seeing their more 'advanced' level of transportation. So, their two friends jetted off into the sky to rush to the second Digimon which Naruto and Dorumon will never stop drooling over how cool that was.

Dorumon turned to his partner as they were currently in the air, their clothes ruffling in the wind from their previous jump. "Dude, we really need to learn how to fly with Chakra!"

Naruto grinned at him and nodded. "Oh, you know it! But this works just fine!" They both landed on the side of a skyscraper, sticking to it with Chakra and rushing up the side in a ninja sprint before jumping to the top and landing on the roof. Naruto brought up his Digivice from around his neck and checked the map, as they had been running for a good 15 minutes now at top speed so they just had to be on top of this thing. "I wonder where-" he got his answer when an explosion sounded off in the distance with smoke rising from the area.

"Guess we know where, now," Dorumon said before they ran down the side of the skyscraper and leaped from building to building until they came across and large lot that was devoid of any people. Damage was done to the lot, some buildings, and even automobiles were turned over. "Man. Wonder what kind of Digimon could've done this."

The sound of heavy wing beats got their attention before they turned and looked to see a large serpent-esque Digimon with a skull on the top portion of its head, orange-yellow feathers around its neck, and large red tattered wings. It flew over them, kicking up a bunch of wind while giving a roar as well. "The hell is that!?" Naruto wondered before he pulled up his X-Digivice.

"That's an Airdramon!" Dorumon exclaimed, getting ready to do some fighting while Naruto pulled up his data.

"Airdramon.

Champion level. Vaccine & Data attribute. Weird. I didn't know a Digimon could have two of those.

A Digimon that is good at aerial attacks and its roar can call storms, while the flap of its wings can cause tornadoes. Although its personality if quite ferocious, it possesses a high intelligence.

Only one attack. 'Spinning Needle'."

Dorumon looked at him with his mouth dropped a bit. "Wait, it can do WHAT!?"

Naruto paled a bit. "Call…storms and make tornadoes?" He blinked and looked at the purple dragon with wide eyes. "Wait, shouldn't you already KNOW something like that!? You Digimon are supposed to know about every other one, right!?"

"Dude, it's not that damn easy! We only know basic info about MOST Digimon but not all of 'em! Surely not what they're capable of! And by most, we really mean common!" Dorumon yelled back at him while the laughing of Airdramon caught their attention as he looked down to them.

"Well, what have we here!? A Tamer and his Digimon here to try and fight with me? Ha! You two alone sure as well aren't going to be much!"

Dorumon's eyes turned angular and white as he waved his fists up to Airdramon, stomping on the ground as well. "What'd you say!? You think that you're so high and mighty just cause you're big and you can fly!? Maybe you should come the hell down here so I can kick your ass!"

Airdramon laughed and grinned in a malicious manner. "Well since you asked so nicely…" Airdramon flew higher into the air before he angled downward. He increased in speed while the two on the ground widened their eyes as they had a feeling on what was coming.

"Spinning Needle!"

With a single powerful flap of his wings, he went a large, white arch of wind in their direction.

"HOLY CRAP!" They exclaimed before jumping to either side. The wind blade carved right through the concrete and even some cars that were behind it in half. They then had to hold themselves to the ground with Chakra when he flew back up them, laughing all the while. Dorumon stood up before Naruto did as they glared at the guy.

"Alright, time to get this asshole!" Dorumon growled, adjusting his hoodie.

"Need some help? We could get this done quicker if we tag-team him." Naruto suggested which made Dorumon grin. God, he loved fighting alongside Naruto and as much as he wanted to say yes…he couldn't this time.

"Thank Naruto but…I think I have to take this guy on myself. I mean I DO want your help but if we keep fighting together and we beat guys like this too easy then I won't Digivolve. So, I'm going to need you to try and use that D.N.A. Charge thing if you can." Dorumon said. Airdramon was just floating in place now, smirking down at Dorumon and waiting for him to make the first move.

Naruto grumbled and looked at his hands. "Tch. Yeah, sure. As if Gohan and I haven't been trying to do it ever since we got here. We don't know HOW it works!"

Dorumon just grinned and charge forward. "Sounds like a YOU problem!"

Naruto gave him a glare. "Say what, you idiot!?"

Dorumon just laughed as he ran forward and leaped onto a car that was lying on its side before leaping at Airdramon. Airdramon gave a low roar before he flew forward, intent on ramming into the Rookie. Dorumon tucked in his body and somersaulted over the dragon whose airforce was adding to the Digimon's evasive action. When he made it to Airdramon's tail, he uncurled and grabbed onto it tightly. He growled and fought against the air pushing his back before he pulled his maw near the appendage and opened it wide.

"Dino Tooth!"

Airdramon gave a roar of pain when Dorumon chomped down on his tail. He growled and turned his body to get a look at the smaller dragon. "How dare you, little punk!?" He whipped and flailed his body around, trying to shake him off but Dorumon wasn't budging an inch. Airdramon then had a brainwave by turning towards one of the buildings and slamming his tail, and in turn, Dorumon, into the structure. The force was enough to through up dust from the destroyed stone-overlayer. Dorumon was in a small crater and groaned while rubbing his head.

"Okay. No munching the tail anymore."

"And in return, I munch on YOU!" He quickly looked up to see Airdramon flying towards him with his mouth wide-open.

"Shit!" Dorumon leaped up, his paws finding the upper half of the crater before he used his momentum and Chakra Control to swing himself up and over until his feet touched the side of the building. Good thing too because Airdramon's face crashed into the side of the building, going all the way into the inside. He spat out the rocks that filled his maw through some windows which then fell to the ground.

Naruto grinned and pumped his fist. "Alright! He's wide-open!"

Dorumon looked at him and nodded with a large grin. "Oh, yeah!" He turned and ran up the building while Airdramon struggled to get out of his predicament. Having arms or legs would've really come in handy right now as he could've used them to push his head free. When Dorumon made it to the edge of the roof he leaped up and then fell back down headfirst, picking up speed. He grinned like a savage as he placed a single foot on the wall which was also supercharged with Chakra. His foot left a small crater as he pushed off of it and aimed his skull right in the space between Airdramon's wings.

"Hyper Dash Metal!"

He was like a purple missile. Looked like one too with how the air was displacing around him during his fall. Though the impact was the impressive feat as the force wasn't just loud, it destroyed enough of the building behind him to free Airdramon's head from its confines. Though he roared and screeched in agony as the pain exploded between his wings and forced them to extend. If Dorumon was aiming for one of wings then there was a high chance he would have dislocated the joint and ended Airdramon's flying days for good.

However, that wasn't the case as Dorumon was thinking of only trying to inflict as much pain as possible. And from the screams that Airdramon was giving, he grinned in satisfaction as his success. He got to his feet and ran down Airdramon's body before leaping and turning around.

"Metal Canon!"

He fired multiple metal sphere's at Airdramon but the Champion level turned his head and maneuvered his body fluidly as to avoid them. "You'll regret that you pest!" His tail shot out faster than Dorumon could register and wrapped around his body tightly.

"Gah! Dammit! Let go, jerk!" Dorumon exclaimed as he tried to push himself from the tail but to no avail.

"Dorumon!" Naruto yelled but Dorumon looked down at him and shook his head.

"Don't worry! I can get out of this!"

"Oh, you can, huh!? Wanna test that!?" Airdramon growled at him. The furred dragon looked to see the Airdramon grinned down at him before flinging him into the air, with Dorumon flailing about, trying to right himself. Airdramon grinned and flew towards him, mouth opening. "Now get in my belly!"

Dorumon was able to turn upside down and watched the dragon flying at him with maw opened wide, ready to chomp down on him. "No way in hell I'm gonna be someone's lunch!" He focused his Chakra and brought his paws together, forming handsigns. The second after he completed it, Airdramon's giant mouth clamped down on his form making Naruto gasp.

"Dammit, no! Dorumon!" He yelled out in frustration and anger, feeling stupid for not helping his partner. "You can't Digivolve if you're eaten, dammit!"

"Well, duh, Naruto," He heard Dorumon deadpan a little away from him, on a single paw and knee, "you can't get rid of me that easily. Pulled off a 'Substitution' at the last minute."

Naruto sighed and hunched over. "Hey, maybe next time you DON'T make close calls like that, yeah? Else I am gonna step in to save your clumsy ass."

Dorumon sweatdropped and nodded while Airdramon faced down to them, a log in his teeth. He growled and bit through it, spitting out the rest. " How did…!? Enough of these foolish games! I'm going to OBLITERATE both of you fools with all of my power!" He faced the sky and let out a roar that was much louder than anything he's ever released before. The sound of it destroyed anything that was made of glass, which shattered from cars and buildings. The shards clattered to the ground while both human and Digimon covered their ears as tightly as possible yet they couldn't fully block the sound.

"WHAT IS HE DOING!?" Naruto screamed, trying to get Dorumon to hear him. Luckily, he did and turned to face Airdramon.

"I DON'T KNOW! BEING ANNOYING!?" His eyes then widened as he saw the sky beginning to dark over Airdramon as cumulonimbus clouds came from nowhere. The roaring slowly died down which allowed Naruto to look at the coming storm that was brewing with the same kind of shock. "Uh…didn't his…information say something about…calling storms?"

"Yeah, …it did." Naruto meekly said. Airdramon began to laugh before he faced them once more.

"Are you two ready for the coming storm!? If not then prepare yourselves!" With a single roar, powerful winds began to pick up around the area. They were so strong that cars, dumpsters and similar sized items were slightly being dragged along. Naruto and Dorumon used their Chakra to stick to the ground and stay standing.

"Is he trying to blow us away!?" Naruto yelled.

"He's being pretty lousy about it!" Dorumon exclaimed but Airdramon's grinning face told them otherwise.

"Oh, you both can't be impressed by just this. The real attack hasn't even begun yet!" He roared through the air once more as a heavy rumbling resounded through the clouds. Naruto and Dorumon's moods dropped when they heard it, already having a good guess on what it was. They yelled in surprise when thunder danced across the sky as if taunting them with inevitable thunder strikes. As if sensing their thoughts, thunder blasted down from the air making Naruto and Dorumon gasp and jumped back very far. The force of the attack leaving scorched earth. They had no time to speak as more thunder was called down, forcing them to run and leap from one another away.

"Spinning Needle!"

Dorumon was caught off guard as a sharp blast of wind slammed him into a car and crushing it. Airdramon laughed and flew down to the purple dragon before flapping his wings. Powerful wins flew from them and swirled into a miniature tornado which sucked up Dorumon and anything else in the area. Naruto was holding onto fire hydrant while also using Chakra to stick to the ground but growled as he felt himself sliding a bit.

"This is freaking CRAZY! He's not even using attacks but he can do all of this!?" Airdramon, even though he was just a Champion level and lower than MetalGreymon just proved that Digimon can be very dangerous, no matter the level. In less than 2 minutes, he made this area a focal point of nature's rath. He looked up and saw Dorumon flying up with the tornado before he was ejected from the top. Another roar from Airdrmaon and thunder blasted down, striking him. Dorumon roared as loud as he could as the electricity coursed through his body.

"DORUMON!" Naruto yelled before he threw Dorumon's request out the window. He ran from the hydrant and leaped from building to building. Once the thunder stopped, Dorumon's body and hoodie smoking, Naruto jumped and caught him. Airdramon grinned and flew down to them.

"I have you both now! "Spinning Needle!" Another wing flap and he sent forth his signature attack. Naruto growled and crossed his fingers in front of him after reaching his right arm around Dorumon's body.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto summoned 20 clones with 10 to surround himself and Dorumon (which were all tucking in their limbs to help brach the impact) and the other 10 making their own handsigns before taking in a large gulp of air.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

The 10 superpowered blasts of wind jutsu slammed right into the 'Spinning Needle'. However, the attack was already too close to losing momentum so the weakened wind blade blasted through the 10 clones. Yet it exploded once it came into contact with the clone shield that Naruto created, destroying them. Naruto landed on the ground, with Dorumon wincing in his arms. He opened his eyes and chuckled a bit.

"Damn. Thunder…hurts a lot."

Naruto's mind went back to his fight with Sasuke at the Final Valley when he took that 'Chidori' to the shoulder. "Welcome to the club, buddy." Dorumon tried to get up but winced as his body sparked with sparks a little and Naruto helped him sit up. "Hey, chill out. You can't get up from that easily. Look, I know you're trying to Digivolve and all but you're getting your ass kicked." Another roar erupted into the air as thunder flashed about once again, striking the highest points that they could find, being buildings, light posts, etc.

"I have HAD IT with you two nuisances! I'll end you both with my powerful storm!"

Naruto growled and raised a fist. "Oh, can it already! You're not gonna be so cocky when the two of us take you down!"

Dorumon blinked and stood up with the help of Naruto. "The…two of us, huh?"

Naruto lightly smacked the side of the Digimon's head. "Oh, come on Dorumon! We're supposed to be the ultimate tag-team, remember? So, that means we're going to take on this guy and anyone else we fight from here on out together!" Naruto looked up to Airdramon before raising a fist near his chest. "Look, I don't really get how Digivolving works exactly but I do know that when you and I join forces then we can beat anyone! And when we're working with Draco and Gohan then we're unstoppable. So, forget this crap about fighting by yourself already!"

Naruto's words hit home as Dorumon felt like a doofus in that moment. Here he was, so eager to not be left behind by Guilmon, Terriermon, and…who knows if Renamon has done it. But if she has then that just means him and Draco are the only Digimon who haven't reached the next stage. And Dorumon was just so freaking jealous of all four of them! Sure, he knows the three 'basic academy jutsu' as Naruto dubbed them, but those techniques don't cut it when it comes down to fighting. Draco and his Ki powers are absolutely devastating! He just owned Renamon like she was just a pest and could even hold his own against Allomon X by himself, if for a few moments. Dorumon was so sure that his brother was the next in line to Digivolve. Even before gaining their new powers, he was sure of it so he was eager to prove to himself that he got strong enough to do it as well but it only came back to bite him in the ass. But even if he doesn't Digivolve, the fact that Naruto was here standing with him in this crazy storm… it made him feel very happy.

He grinned brightly, staring at his Tamer. "You're right. I'm not alone when I've got you here, buddy. I'm not EVER going to forget that we work best together again. If you'll still help me…let's take him down!" He raises his fist and bumps it with Naruto's.

"You bet!" Naruto said before a familiar sound erupted between them. Looking at his fist, Naruto saw that it was covered in those same purple digital particles from before, making him and Dorumon gasp. "No…no way."

"That's..you did it," Dorumon said before grinning broadly and leaping in place, "you unlocked the D.N.A. Charge!"

"WE unlocked it! Haven't you been paying attention!?" Naruto exclaimed while laughing a bit. Airdramon got impatient but also curious as to what the purple light around Naruto's right hand was.

"Eh? What's that? What are you two trying to scheme now!?"

Dorumon grinned and pointed towards him. "Oh, nothing! Just how we're gonna finally kick your ass! I'm all fired up now!" He turned to Naruto and gave him a 'thumbs up'. "Let's show him what we can do!"

Naruto grabbed his Digivice in his left hand, unlatching it from around his neck and made a determined fist. "Yeah! Let's do this!" The Digivice glowed as the words 'Evolution' typed themselves on the screen. Naruto raised his right hand high before bringing it behind his back. "D.N.A. Charge!" He threw his right hand forward and placed it over the top of the Digivice where the energy was sucked inside. The screen began to glow very brightly as a force of power radiated from it, wavering his hair and clothes. He pushed the device in Dorumon's direction who started to glow as he was glowing purple.

"DORUMON DIGIVOLVE TO…"

Dorumon was then covered in a sphere of purple energy that lit up the area. Inside of the sphere, Dorumon's Digivolution occurred in a different manner compared to Guilmon and Terriermon's. Instead of the surface of his form peeling away to make room for new flesh, his body digitized and regrew new limbs and features at the same time. His arms and legs were coated with purple data, them growing exponentially larger with large red claws. His hoodie digitalized away as his form grew larger and more hunched over. His wings transformed from small black ones to giant dark purple wings with white fur on the inside of them, while he developed a large mane of fur around his neck. His ears elongated as well as his tail which also had white fur on the end of it. His purple coat became a much darker hue of that with a tinge of dark blue that acted as various lightning-bolt-esque designs along his body. When the transformation was finished, the sphere burst away as he declared his new form with elation.

"DORUGAMON!"

There he was. Dorumon had been transformed and stood in his Champion form glory, to which Naruto and Airdramon were shocked. He let off his own bestial roar which let off a few shockwaves. Naruto had to cover his ears from the sound but he was nothing but impressed when he turned to look at his partner. "Whoa. You look so cool, Dorumon!"

Dorugamon turned to Naruto and gave him a smirk, flashing his much longer and deadlier fangs. "It's Dorugamon now, Naruto. But right!?" He looked over himself flexing his long curved claws, swishing his tail and experimentally flapping his wings. Naruto rose his Digivice and scanned the evolved form of his partner.

"Alright, buddy, let's check out the new you. Dorugamon.

Champion level. Data attribute.

Dorugamon is an Animal Digimon and a carrier of the X Antibody. It is a ferocious Digimon that possesses the dis…dispo…dis-position, hard word, of a beast and a dragon, and is such a heavyweight that most Digimon runs away just at the sight of its shadow. Although it exhibits that ferocity of a wild beast when it comes to battles, it also has the intelligence of a dragon and is usually very docile.

And your new attacks are 'Cannonball' and 'Power Metal'

Dorugmon grinned at the info and stood up a bit starter to flex. "Oh, yeah! Who's a big, ferocious dragon of total badassness!? Me! I am, baby!"

"What!? HOW!?" They looked up to see Airdramon, the -dramon Digimon's storm having eased a noticeable amount now. There were only dark clouds but no more wind and thunder. "Y-You couldn't have Digivolved so easily! How did you do it!?"

Dorugamon smirked. "Fuck you, that's how!"

"You ingrate! How dare you speak to your better that way!" Airdramon exclaimed while Dorugamon grinned and turned to Naruto.

"Alright, partner! Ready to kick this guy's ass back to the Digital World?"

Naruto chuckled and hopped onto his partner's back, keeping himself there with his Chakra. "Is that even a real question?" He punched a fist into his hand and looked up to Airdramon. "Let's go!"

With a mighty flap of his large wings, Dorugamon took off into the air, straight towards Airdramon. He growled as he rushed forward as well. "Don't get so cocky now that you've Digivolved! Spinning Needle!" He sent a burst of slicing wind from his wings at his adversaries but Dorugamon was on the ball.

"Cannonball!"

A metal ball, that was. This sphere was 5x larger than anything he's already done and the strength behind it allowed him to counter the strength behind the 'Spinning Needle'. Both attacks detonated while Airdramon gasped and stopped midflight. "Impossible!" He gave a cry of pain when Dorugamon rammed into him with a strong headbutt. Naruto was on his own ball as he weaved through handsigns.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

The powerful wind jutsu slammed into Airdramon, making him grit his fangs before crying out as he got blasted by a large wind blast, giving him a taste of his own medicine. Dorugamon began to focus his own Chakra, thinking of trying to mix it with his 'Cannonball' attack..except he was met with a familiar sensation. "Naruto, I'm getting that burning feeling in my chest again!"

"Then let 'er rip, buddy! Do it!" Naruto exclaimed before Dorugamon took a deep breath and sucked in as much air as possible. He then lurched forward and breathed out a fireball that was twice the size compared to the one that he spat at MetalGreymon. However, because he still hasn't had proper training in the jutsu's use, he still managed to slightly burn himself yet nothing too serious. Airdramon barely recovered from the 'Great Breakthrough' before he was blasted by flames and screamed loudly as he was being burned from all over, covered in fire.

"Naruto, gah! Damn, that stings! Grr, g-go again!" Dorugamon exclaimed while fighting through the pain of his slightly singed mouth. They flew closer as Naruto had created a clone and created a 'Rasengan.'

"Way ahead of you Dorugamon!" He leaped from Dorugamon's back until he was over Airdramon, who had stopped flying, falling as he couldn't properly handle the pain from being on fire. But he was given no reprieve as Naruto swung his left leg around, spinning forward and slammed the blue sphere of condensed power into Airdramon's forehead.

"Rasengan!"

Airdramon roared in pain as the 'Rasengan' drilled into his forehead. Though the usual effects of the jutsu didn't occur this time. Because he was still covered in flames, the Rasengan was actually the catalyst to contort and warp the fire, making it spiral at the 'Rasengan's focal point and turning it into a giant sphere of spinning flames. Dorugamon and Naruto were surprised at the mix of flames and the jutsu but nowhere near after the flaming ball sent Airdramon rocketing into the ground. He didn't just impact it; he was sent spinning into the earth, bounced and they promptly exploded as he was at the epicenter of a small meteor-shower of fireballs that slammed into him constantly or blew up any other things they impacted.

The storm Airdramon created faded away, letting sun peak through the clouds. Yet Naruto, who was standing on Dorugamon's back and the Digimon in question was staring at the prone form of Airdramon and the scorched earth from their combo jutsu. Dorugamon looked around surprise in his features.

"Shiiiiit…did we do that!?"

Naruto was even more surprised as he looked at his hand, slightly smoking from the fiery Rasengan that was previously in his palm. "The Rasengan…mixed with the fire," he said in a slightly breathless tone, "I had no idea it could do that."

"Also, I think you should start training me in the 'Fireball Jutsu', man. That's the second time I've burned my mouth just now. "They began to fly back to the ground to where Airdramon was though Naruto still had a response to give.

"I'm surprised you can do that without handsigns! Though…it's harder to focus that jutsu when you don't do 'em. So…guess you're right. Practice for that technique next." Then landed in front of Airdramon with Naruto leaping off, Dorugamon's back to the downed Digimon who happened to still be conscious. He growled through his injuries before looking at them, managing a small growl.

"How…did you…" This was all he could get out before Dorugamon closed his eyes and smirked.

"Because nothing can stop me and Naruto when we start kicking ass. Maybe you had the head-start on us…but it was over the moment we learned how to Digivolve. Since our teamwork is better than ever there's no way we could lose to someone like you." Dorugamon felt cool after delivering such words. Naruto nodded his head in agreement.

"Yup. He's right about that."

Airdramon was about to force a retort…until he caught a glimpse of something on Dorugamon's back. Something that momentarily forced him to stop and look for a while until he spoke once again.

"Why do you have a tramp-stamp that says 'Impmon's Bitch ' with a little heart next to it?"

Dorugamon's eyes shot open while Naruto looked at the small of his partner's back and clasped his hands over his mouth. Good God…Airdramon was right. It was still there! And it was even bigger than before! It grew along with him! "Dude…there is NO WAY you can hide that anymore! I don't think I noticed because of how dark it was from the thunder clouds!"

Dorugamon didn't hear him though as the rage that had dwindled down from the discovery of this recent embarrassment flared like an inferno in his gullet. He slapped the earth with his tail, breaking some of it in the process, before rounding on Airdramon and giving him a look akin to a rabid animal. Airdramon gulped and sweated at the sight of the vicious dragon before said dragon roared in his direction, washing his form with the flames of hell itself. Naruto's eyes took the classic circular-white=circles as he leaned back, letting Dorugamon get his rage out.

There was a lot of rage in there.

After 30 seconds of just screaming his fire-breath, Dorugamon calmed down, not even caring his he was occasionally coughing up smoke and cinder after his second and more prolonged use of that jutsu. Naruto had seen the red data flakes rising into the air while the pavement was just…melted. Dorugamon panted deeply before he Didigivolved to Dorumon, his hoodie rematerializing somehow, and he fell to his back, having exhausted all of his usable Chakra with that little stunt.

"Jeez. Overdone it much?" Naruto deadpanned after he came out of his stupor. Dorumon, even through his exhaustion, looked at the blond.

"I (Pant) hate (Pant) IMPMON!" That was all he could get out before he went back to panting and sweating. God, he'd have to wear something over his lower-back until his fur grew into the places Impmon shaved it! The next time he saw that fucking imp, Oooooh, the hell he'd pay would be godly. Naruto rolled his eyes at his single-minded friend and hefted him to his back.

"Yeah, well, next time, try to not burn through all of your Chakra in one go like that because I'm not gonna keep carrying you ya' big baby." Naruto deadpanned while Dorumon mumbled something vulgar. Who knows since his muzzle was buried in Naruto's shirt. Surveying the damage and wincing at whoever had to clean this up, he took to the rooftops and began to make their way back to Guilmon's hideout.

"I really need to teach you those handsigns."

Eh, I think I can stop now. Honestly, I got REALLY caught up in this chapter. Listen, I technically wasn't lying when I said this full version would be posted on New Years. Honestly, I had the whole Digivolution thing planned out! It was ready! But….at the same time, I felt that it rushed the chapter too much. O much so that I went back to drawing board and looked at all the ways I could make this chapter even more entertaining than just what I gave and then Dorumon Digivolving.

Now, originally, I planned for BOTH Dorumon and Draco to Digivolve in this chapter but, eh, I think a full month of waiting was long enough to drop the real version. So, I tweaked Dorumon's Digivolution and added in the shit with Impmon's tramp stamp because of all that middle stuff I threw in there. So, Draco will Digivolve at the BEGINNING of next chapter. Meaning his and Gohan's battle will what we open too before continuing with the canonical Digimon Tamer's plot since we've diverged from that long enough at this point.

But what do you people think!? Like I said, Prank War HAS started this chapter and will continue to be a thing until we have a clear winner. Naruto can activate his D.N.A. Charge whenever he wants now, Dorumon is about to learn his first B-Ranked Jutsu, and Guilmon is learning things that someone as innocent as him should NEVER learn. But with the way this story is going, he might learn them anyway, hahaha! Dorumon is a horrible influence! Terriermon isn't all that much better. I feel that Dorumon brings out the WORST in Terriermon and Henry can't handle that! And Takato just doesn't even KNOW anymore. I know that a lot of you were asking more questions and or giving comments, and you'll have even MORE this time! But, I'm sorry to say that you'll have to wait for NEXT CHAPTER for me to answer them…unless you slide me a PM. Then I can do some one-on-one time. But I think that I made my point. As for that last attack, that was basically Jiraiya's Ultimate Jutsu in 'Naruto Ultimate Ninja Sotrm'. Yes, the first game.

Also, for my (Remember, NSFW content is there) and my DeviantArt pages, I decided to just write them down personally. The link thing just isn't working and I'm tired of the hassle. So, I'm going to do that and you'll have to enter them yourselves but hey, something is better than nothing.

Rest in Pieces, bitches!

Hope you loved Dorumon's Tramp Stamp!
