D-Tamer (short story)

D-Tamer

In the year 2033, there exists something called "Battle Monsters" or "Battlemon" for short. It's a fighting monster game on digital wristbands where people raise and battle monsters. In other words, you are the friend of the creature who lives in the V-wrist. The "V" stands for "virtual" and "wrist" is short for "wristband".  The game is created for anyone who loves monsters and fighting games.

It is daytime, I'm drawing a monster in my notebook, I had a dream about that monster last night. It was terrifying and gruesome. I dreamt that a monster with black armor skin attacked and kill other monsters.

The monster looks like a demon something from the manga, DevilMan. He approached me and said something to me. Do you want to fight with me?

Suddenly, someone pads my shoulder, and I was spooked.

Good morning, Leche. Oh, I'm sorry for scaring you.

I was relieved.

That's ok, Suika

My name is Leche Caballero, I'm fifteen and I play Battle Monsters and my battlemon is a low-level monster. The girl who spooked me is my friend, Suika Mori and she's fifteen as well and autistic. She always gets bullied a lot and I always defended her from those scrubs.

She noticed my drawing in my notebook. What's that you're drawing? I respond, It's just a monster design. She is thrilled to see the monster. 

You should submit it to the Battle Monster company, they will love the design that I made.

I don't know, maybe a different battle monster design. Ok?

That's fine with me. Suika begins texting on her phone with a friend. I don't want to tell Suika about my dream or the monster, it'll scare her or maybe think it's ridiculous.

Maybe she'll think you're crazy.

What the hell?

Suddenly, I suspected that the drawing talked to me with the same voice of the monster, or it is only imagination going wild.

Suddenly, my V-Wrist starts to glow with dark red and black energy and Suika notices the change. Leche are you alright?

My V-Wrist has changed into a strange, black device. It looks like something out of Digimon Adventure: V-Tamer 01.

AHHHHHH!

Suddenly, Suika's phone is acting strange and a Battlemon appears in the real world. It's the battle monster, Hells

Mera Mera Mera!! I found my sweet dessert!

Suddenly, the area begins to change into the battle world. The place becomes fire and Hells begins to approach Suika in a creepy fashion.

Stay away from me, Leche help!

What should I do?!

FIGHT!

Huh?!

The V-Wrist talks to me, and the battle monster evolves into the monster in my dream. In a strange reason, the monster looks different from the dream. It's cute and small but, demonic.

Hey Leche, looks like you are in a situation.

Also, you look like hell!

Who or what in the hell are you?

I'm Devily and you have the D-Wrist.

D... what...

Don't look now but, your girlfriend is about to be dessert.

Oh no!

Hells is close to Suika and Suika is scared, she about to run. The monster chases her and then catches up to her.

You can't run from me, little sweet...

AAAAAHHHHHH! LECHE!

What should I do, I'm looking around for a weapon to fight off the monster. However, no luck. I'm out of time to save her. Suddenly, the demon has an idea.

How about fusing with me?

What? fusing with you?

How can I trust you?

Hurry up, you want that girl to be food?

I look at the situation and I have no other choose.

Ok, deal!

Say Devi!

DEVI!!!

I rush to the monster who attack Suika and punch Hells. Hells loses 15 HP (hit points). Hells got angry and want to fight.

Hey! ARE YOU CRAZY MONSTER!

He looks at the monster who attacked him.

Who the hell are you?

I turnaround and present myself to him.

I'm the human who fuse with a Battlemon and you can call me...

D-Tamer!

Hells looks afraid and about to attack me.

DAMN YOU! SPEACIAL ATTACK, FLARE KNUCKLES!!!

The flare knuckles come to my direction and I'm about to counter it. Devily talks to me psychologically in my head.

Use Devil Wind on him.

What?

Trust Me!

Ok!

Devil Wind!!

The attack blows the fire away and devil wind hits Hells, it weakens him. Suika sees the fight and she can't believe her eyes.

She talks quietly.

Leche?

The monster, Hells gets angry and about to use another attack.

Damn you, traitor!

Prepare yourself for this!

HELLS EVOVLE TO...

DEATH HELLS!

The monster evolves into Death Hells, his ultimate evolution. I have to protect Suika, the monster approaches me to kill me. Suddenly, Devily have another idea.

Use Devil Knuckle!

Ok.

Without hesitation, I'm going to use the move on Death Hells. I raise my hand and hand starts to charge up dark energy.

DEVIL KNUCKLE!!!

I shoot the attack like a beam and the punch move goes to his chest and out from it. The attack is a critical hit.

Damn... you...

The monster falls down, his flames extinguish, and he dies. I change back into my human self and the area changes back to reality. Suika faints and I hold her. I make sure that she's ok.

Suika... Suika!

Are you ok? Say something!

Suika slowly open her eyes and wakes up.

What a horrible dream...

I dreamt that a Battlemon come to life and attack me. Also, you become a Battlemon and fight off the monster.

Wait... your V-Wrist?!

She checks my v-wrist and it is not demonic or black. She is relieved that I'm not the monster.

Suddenly, Devily lives in my v-wrist and wicks to the readers.

The End
