Awakening

Max held closely to Bang as they coasted through the city in search of the Blackguilmon. It only dawned on him a moment ago that Flare might still be in the city and could possibly give them a hand, Thankfully he had Flare's number on his pokegear and reached down in his pants to grab it and dial the number, using one hand to hold onto Bang as best he could. "There you are! Flare listen I don't have a whole lot of time to explain but if you're still in goldenrod please gimme a hand. Use your Charizards to scope out the town from above and have them look for a black raptor looking creature. It...It ate fang..." There was a bit of noise in the background of his pokegear but when he heard 'I'm on it' he knew he could trust Flare and abruptly hung up.
Bang kept on the road, listening in on Max's conversation as they sped through traffic. "This Flare guy...He's not from the island is he? Can you trust em?"
"I met him earlier today...but he's a really nice guy and trustworthy." Just as Max said that he spotted a Charizard flying just above them and smirked. "See? Already he's getting to work."

Flare walked over to the last house he was to make a delivery and left it by the door with a note. After what Max had mentioned over the phone, he felt Fang's well being was more important and quickly released the two Charizards out of their balls to help lead the search. He looked down over at Charmeleon and grabbed his clawed hand. "Come on bud. We have a Reptile to find!"
Charmeleon didn't need any more explaination other than what was said over the pokegear, someone had taken Fang and now they would catch the jerk while he was still in the city. "Well...It's not like he could leave the city...I mean with a meal as big as Fang you can't exactly dash off into the woods. So he's gotta be near the Gym..."
Flare blinked when his map was taken out of his pocket by Charmeleon along with a pen he usually kept around for keeping notes. He watched his partner work on the map, narrowing down the search down to a few blocks within the city and in the Gym's parimeter. "Oh I getcha! So he can't be too far away from the scene of the crime!" Charmeleon nodded, sighing in relief that for once his trainer knew what he was talking about. "Okay...I'll leave a message for Max to double back and search this area then! Let's head on over to the gym!"
Charmeleon nodded a few times, worrying for Fang. "We have maybe an hour before digestion takes him. So let's do it." He muttered to himself and followed his trainers lead through the streets.

"Hold on Bang hit the breaks!" Max cried out, he held tight as the bike came to a sudden halt after Bang parked on the side. "Flare and Charmeleon managed to narrow down the search route..." Max took a deep breath and handed his pokegear over to Bang. "Follow the buildings within that circle and we SHOULD find him..."
Bang strapped the gear onto his handlebars so he could have a better view of the small device. "That's not a bad guess...Something as big as a wolf would hinder your movement. We'll expand that search by a couple more blocks to factor in the time we've already wasted!" Bang growled as he put his foot down on the gas pedal and turned a 180 back in the gym's direction, starting with the back alley's. "Alright, if I were a crook I'd likely come down here to hide out. most people wouldn't risk going in these parts of town. Why don't you call some of your pokemon to help with the search?"
Max was listening, but most of his attention was on finding the blackguilmon. "I would...but my Bulbasaur and Furret are at the pokemon center. Pupitar just had a huge battle not 10 minutes ago so he's out...I could call Pyre but he'd never be able to fit in these alleyways."
Bang blinked, stopping abruptly as they got into the alley and stepped off his bike, handing him the pokegear. "Look, the suns already down, we won't have much light to keep this search going. it's best if we travel on foot though, my bike won't fit through some places."
"He's a blackguilmon...the night is his ally! We need to find him Bang." He growled, closing his eyes then suddenly he had a thought. "Well...what better training than right now..." At this point, Max was trying to imagine how it felt when he'd fallen onto the Charizard's tail a couple hours ago, how the flame burnt on his backside, as he did so, his pants started to bulge a bit, his coloration changing from the white skin he usually had into the darker shade of red a guilmon typically had, tail starting to poke out of his backside as it started to form naturally around his tailbone.
"alright...that's a start...but it's not good enough..." He knew the change was happening but it wasn't happening as fast as it should be, at which point he tried recalling how it felt to be bathed in Pyre's flames so completely. "Hotter..." He mumbled to himself. his body starting to haunch over as he grew a foot taller, his ears were the first things to alter physically, they started stretching out and pointing outward as if he were an elf before curving around themselves till they formed in a similar appearance to bat like wings, heck the looked like they could even fold over themselves.
"It's not enough..." Max growled to himself, he was already starting to shift, he knew he was on the right track though and began imagining himself bathing in flames, imagining how it might have felt if he'd allowed Chaos's pyro sphere to hit him when he encountered him earlier. "It needs to be hotter damnit..."
Bang crossed his arms, watching Max's slow transformation process. "You need it to be hotter...Think back to THAT day...and think about your friend. You want to save him...will your body to transform!" He grabbed Max's arm his claws careful not to dig into the changing human's skin. "Believe in yourself damnit!"
Max stared up at Bang, looking hurt at first but realizing quickly enough that he was right. He shut his eyes again, imagining the events that happened a couple years ago. He started imagining the flames of his village being burned down. he could practically feel the heat of the flames at this point as his nose started growing outward into a red snout, a biohazard symbol forming just above it. Jaws starting to stretch along with the snout in the form of a broad muzzle, gleaming sharp teeth replacing the flat teeth that remained present in his human form. The last thing to change on his face was just below his ears, three pairs of spikes started pushing outward like frills. starting from his ears all the way to the back of his jaw line.
"I lost one friend that day...I'm not going to lose another!" He proclaimed to himself. his arms starting to gain a little definition in the muscle department, three silver claws poking out of what became a paw took the place of his palm and fingers, the same marking on his forehead appearing on the backhand of each paw along with a single black stripe circling completely around his wrists.
Max's belly started bulging in his shirt as it turned a silvery white color. with the biohazard marking sitting just around his chest. Both his legs turned the same scaley red his head and arms had become. Growing extra muscle for the added mass and his toes started merging together to form two toe claws on each foot and his heel growing a heel claw for an added balance, though it seemed to do little at this point as at this point he stood on just his toeclaws. Opening his eyes once again, His eyes changed from the oceanic blue they once held to a bright incandescent yellow, sort of like Flare's except well, they were glowing. "I'm...I'm a digimon now..." It wasn't that he was excited, it's just the fact that all it took was his own imagination that drove the change. instantly, he removed his shirt so that he could move a little more comfortably. "Whew...now I'm ready to go find that blackguilmon!"
Bang chuckled a bit, crossing his arms. "that's all well and good but your pants will still slow you down. Don't worry, Digimon don't have genders so none of your private parts will show in this form."
Max blinked, suddenly blushing as he was told to strip out of his pants but after Bang explained he would look decent enough he removed the remainder of his clothing, except for his trainer belt that held his pokemon, he just didn't feel like himself without it. "Alright then. Now that THAT is taken care of...how can we find that guy..." Just as he asked that question, he realized his sense of smell was stronger, he could smell a familiar scent with his snout and smiled. "Scratch that...I think I just found him..."
It was as simple as that, After giving the air a quick sniff, Max took off with Bang following after him. They didn't have any leads on where this Blackguilmon was but least now Max could make use of his new body and it would help him get used to the change if he took the lead. "I hope you're right..." Bang muttered.


"Hmmm...We should be close. Are you sure that the person who took Fang couldn't go any further than this?" Flare turned around to look at his partner Charmeleon, though his partner didn't look nearly as relaxed, rather he was growling and haunched over in a fighting position. He turned to look in the location that Charmeleon was casting his glare and spotted a red dragon sitting on a dumpster with an amused grin on his face. "Who...are you?" Flare asked, defensive as he prepared himself for whatever.
The dragon snapped his fingers, hopping off the dumpster with a chuckle. "Well now...You seemed a way more excitable person from afar! don't tell me recent affairs have soured your mood...After all aren't I the third dragon you've seen today?"
Flare backed up to stand next to Charmeleon, a grin on his face. "Yeah well those two dragons were exciting...I didn't feel any sort of malicious intent around them. As a matter of fact they seemed outright goofy and friendly. But you look all buisness. Now why don't you answer my question."
"Hmmm...Well you're no fun at all then..." The dragon grinned as he held his hand out, pointing it towards Flare in the form of a gun. "My names Duke. I'm an emissary of darkness. You're getting in the way of our plans and we just can't let that happen."
With that, a dark bolt of energy fired from Duke's fingertips, aiming right at the young trainer's head, and would have hit dead on if Charmeleon hadn't tackled his trainer to the ground at the last minute. "Ugh...Thanks bud...Charmeleon use Flamethrower right now!" Charmeleon didn't need to be told twice as he fired a burse of flame in the dragons direction.
"Hooo! Now that's what I've come to expect from the hotheaded trainer!" Duke simply laughed as he rolled out of the way of the flamethrower. Jumping around like an acrobat as Charmeleon adjusted his aim to follow the dragon.
Eventually, Charmeleon ran out of juice so to speak and started gasping for air. Duke simply waited for the fire type to wear himself out before pointing his finger toward the lizard pokemon. "I think I'll get rid of you first..."

"Alright Bagon, Dragon breath!" Shouted a figure from the roof tops, Duke didn't get much of a chance to react before he was blasted by a purple gust of wind, knocking him into the dumpster he was resting on a moment ago. "You guys run off." Shouted the voice again. This time the figure leapt off the roof and dove to the ground. It would have been insane if he didn't have some sort of glider attached to his back, they looked akin to Salamance wings. Once the figure hit the surface he looked much younger than both Duke and Flare had expected him to be. His hair was a spiky green with purple eyes eerilly gazing in the downed dragon's direction through a pair of glasses. The wings attached to his back was strapped around a long white jacket the trainer was donning.
"What's your name brat?" The dragon grunted out, pulling himself out of the dent he made on the trash can.
"The names Kevin. You'd do well to remember it creep." He pulled out a tranquilizer gun from his jacket, growling. "Now stay where you are. I don't care how fast you think you are but I doubt you'd be able to dodge a tranquilizer dart at this close range."
Duke grumbled, staring at Kevin with a dumbfounded expression which quickly turned to amusement. "You act like you're the one in control. I was simply buying time for my partner in crime to get aw-"
"You mean the blackguilmon? I don't think that's going to happen. Before I found you guys, I noticed a guilmon chasing after him...pretty acurately too. You might have been able to get away with murdering this trainer if you didn't show off with all your theatrics around Charmeleons flames. You stirred up alot of attention." He kept his finger on the trigger, chuckling at the dragon. "Did you think you were smarter than us? I don't know what it is but your judgement is clouded. You play around when you should get the job done quickly." With that he fired into the dragon's chest. Duke screamed out for a second before passing out right there, the tranquilizer's effect taking hold.
"Did you...kill him?" Flare asked, dumbfounded as he poked the unconcious dragon but was pulled back by Charmeleon who looked more concerned than angry.
"Did you not hear me say it was a tranquilizer dart? He's just out. Besides I'm only 13, you expect anybody to hand me a lethal gun? Comeon we need to get away from here. He'll be up in a few hours." With that, Kevin grabbed Flare by the hand, same with Charmeleon and lead them out of the scene of the crime, And just in time too as police started storming into the area


Max continued running through corners of the city, his nose picking up on the Blackguilmon's scent. "Comeon...he's not too far away now!"
"Any reason why you think this is the blackguilmon you're picking up?" Bang asked, keeping up with Max's pace, for someone who just now learned how to transform into his digimon half he was running awfully fast.
"Call it a hunch...it's a scent that's all too familiar to me for some reason. Either it's him or we miss our only lead on finding him." Max responded gravely.
Soon enough, not long after Max made his last comment they at last spotted their target, or at least...a PART of it. The blackguilmon was resting behind a trash can, the sound of his gurgling stomach heavy in Max's ears as he stomped forward with a growl. "Cough up FANG. I'm only going to ask you once!"
The blackguilmon was definitely startled when Max managed to catch up to him and tried pulling itself up, clumsilly knocking down the trash can as he growled. "You couldn't leave well enough alone could you...Just let me finish off the wolf then I can make you happy again!"
Max didn't wait another second, he smacked the Blackguilmon behind the head with a claw at which it yelped. "Don't be rediculous! If he dies I'll never be happy again no spit him up or I'll do worse than bop you on the head!" Max growled the last sentance out.
Rubbing the back of his head, Chaos was staring at Max with a confused expression. "All three of us can be one again though...we can all be together when you're both in me! Max all I've done so far is for your sake..."
This time, Max went for the digimon's belly, making him double over and cough a bit. "Cough him up! That's no way to be with one another. if you wanted to be together you should have asked to join our group...not...not THIS INSANITY!" He growled.
"Max...would you really accept me just like that...Just...let me back into you just if I asked nicely? Would you have accepted me as I am?" Chaos looked genuinely shocked, he looked down at his stomach, wondering if he had done something wrong but unable to really comprehend it.
Max took a deep breath, and nodded. "If you came up to us...and asked to be our friend I would have been happy to let you come along with us...There's no reason to be so sneaky about it. now cough him up...you're gonna kill him!"
It was then that Chaos retaliated, punching Max right in the gut, this time it was Max's turn to double over in pain as the dark digimon chuckled. "Max...I know you're just saying that to get me to spit him out...once I do you'll just do me in...but I'll make you see...you'll be better once we're one again..."
Rubbing over his stomach, Max stared at Chaos with a stunned look on his face. "Again? what do you..." It took him a moment to realize it but it hit him. "You're me..." He lifted his paw above his face to avoid a smack in the jaw and caught the Blackguilmon's paw as it came in. "I thought they got rid of you..."
"Ohhh...no Max...You see, I LET them expell me from your body. It was clear that I was causing you pain and I thought until you were ready to accept me that I'd just...LEAVE." Chaos licked his lips before firing a ball of fire in Max's direction, just managing to avoid getting a direct hit, it did however singe his cheek. "I think we're both old enough now though that we can join together. This time I can call the shots."
Max stared at Chaos for a moment, dumbstruck, then he tightened his grip over his paw. "This is it huh? I wanted you out so you take it out on my friends? That's the biggest load of bull I've heard...LISTEN!" He pulled Chaos in closer, one paw wrapped around his muzzle. "If you want revenge come get it. But don't involve my friends they had nothing to do with it!" Max decided now was as good a time as any to test his strength and lifted Chaos from the ground and threw him onto the ground, pouncing ontop of him.
Chaos looked up at Max dumbfounded just as the latter had been a moment ago, With his other half pinning him down at this point he could do nothing. "Your friends?! You yourself thought the same thoughts when you were younger...nobody could be your friend! Because if they did they'd get hurt...or that they'd just stab you in the back!"
"Mmmph that's not true!" Shouted a voice inside of Chaos's belly which started glowing. A moment later, the bulge that was inside of his belly dissapeared, Fang reforming just outside by the trash can, the acids inside of that stinking chamber had burned off all of his fur however so he was as naked as could be. "What was once true has been mended." He grabbed Max's shoulder, looking hurt but smiled for his benifit. "You may not have had many friends...but I will always be your friend. Because...I was going to keep this a secret but you have a right to know this. Max I'm your brother!"
Max let go of Chaos the moment he heard Fang's words, he stared at the furless wolf and turned in his direction. "You're...what? But I don't have a brother...except-"
Fang gave a short nod, smiling softly. "Except your twin who died during childbirth. I'm sure mom and dad told ya about it." His tails wagged a bit. "Well...our dad was pretty quick to act...he took my body over to a scientist who used to live in the area...I came to know him as my dad but everyone called him Delta...With the condition that he adopt me as his son, Delta managed to extract my soul from the fresh corpse of the baby and place my spirit inside of a youngling wolf. Barely able to open it's eyes."
"So then..." Max muttered, looking down trying not to look fang in his private areas.
"Uhm...yeah...So I'm your little brother!" Fang said, nervously giggling. "These past 10 years have been spent away from each other...but something happened to Delta a few years back...he told me he was going through something difficult, and he wouldn't be able to take care of it with me there, so he told me about you and asked me to keep an eye on you..."
"Wait...did you just say Delta?" Chaos growled out, pulling himself up nervously. "He wouldn't happen to be a blueish wolf...with glowing yellow eyes would he? About...this high?" He got in his tip toes to match Delta's height.
"Wait...how do you know Delta?!" Fang asked, blinking when Bang handed him Max's clothing to put on, both him and the mega digimon blushing until he put them on.
"He was the one who told me to come out here...to come and take care of you and Max...said that it would be best for us." Chaos admitted, a growl in his tone. "He never MENTIONED you though..."
Fang rubbed his chin, wondering. "Hold on...Delta's fur isn't blue though...it's supposed to be a pure gold...he prided himself on it... But that height sounds about the same. Could he have dyed his fur..."
Chaos grumbled a bit. "Yeah well...I'm going to get to the bottom of this...And if it turns out he was just using me to check up on some pup I'm going to be wearing a wolf coat by the end of the day..." Chaos growled, running off in the darkness.
Bang had his pistols set on Chaos, ready to fire on the digimon until Max grabbed his arm. "don't shoot! He's my burden and I'll take care of him next time...For now we need to get Fang to the pokemon center...I'm sure with his fur gone he must be freezing..."
Fang shivered a bit, his teeth chittering as he grabbed Max's paws. "Y-You transformed for me...to save me...Thank you." He then suddenly grabbed Max into a hug, his tails wagging faster. "Oh gosh...you feel so warm..."
Max blushes, nodding a bit as he wrapped his arms around Fang, holding his brother close. "We have a lot to catch up on if we're really siblings...I've always wanted a brother, Fang..."
Fang gave a small nod, both of them following Bang towards the motor bike. "Oh...Max I nearly forgot!" Bang exclaimed, taking out a wrapped box and putting it in the pocket of Max's pants that Fang was currently wearing. "Your uncle wanted us to deliver that to you...open it when you're safe in the pokemon center alright? Speaking of...shall I give you both a ride?"
Max nodded a few times, smiling. "We would appreciate that very much Bang..." He helped the shivering wolf onto the bike first then hopped on himself. after they were both secured on his bike he took off, bringing them back to the pokemon center in a timely fashion.


"Thankyou Bang...It was great seeing you again. So...what are you going to do now? Gonna come along with us" Max asked, taking a deep breath as he realized the tempeture was dropping outside.
Watching Fang suddenly burst into the building gave both digimon a good laugh, Bang crossed his arms as he gave it some thought. "I don't think I'd fit in with your crowd...I'm still a bit of a loose cannon. But I'll be rooting for ya in the Johto league alright?" He gave Max a thumbs up, then climbed back ontop of his bike and took off down the road.
Max waved Bang off and smiled. "Well guess some things never change..." He walked into the pokemon center and blinked when he spotted Scav and Bulbasaur both staring at him awkwardly. "Ok comeon guys...you've seen this side of me before!"
"Yeah...but they haven't..." Scav pointed a finger to his right.
Max looked in the direction that Scavenger had pointed out and spotted Flare and Charmeleon gaping at him, Flare immediately walked over to Max with a big grin on his face. "IS that you MAX?! How'd you change like that...and how's it feel? Does having Scaley skin feel dry?" He asked then yelped as Charmeleon tugged him back down on the seat and wrapped a bandage around his trainers head.
"What happened to them?" Inquired Max, looking concerned about the bandages and wrappings around both Flare and Charmeleon.
"They were attacked by a dragon." Kevin walked over, his Bagon standing beside him with their arms crossed. "I managed to keep them from getting themselves killed but you and I need to have a chat...And I'd like to have a battle with you as well...mind accepting my challenge?"
Max looked at the newcomer and grinned. "Sure...I'll battle you...but can it wait till tomorrow..." He asked with a yawn, plopping down on the padded cusions in the lobby, his tail limp against the floor as he passed out.
"Max!" Fang cried out, before taking a deep breath. "Know what...I need some rest too...let's just...get into the bedroom and all deal with this tomorrow..." He yawned, helping pick Max up and carry him into the back of the pokemon center. Tomorrow was going to be a pretty rough day.


(To be continued)
