66 Chapter 66

Well, that was one perceptive lion. You should probably do something about that before it gets spooked enough to attack you. It's not even you, that you're worried about here. It's Ruki. She'll happily delete it without a second thought.

So, with that thought in mind. You whipped it out. Your digivice that is. You held it up to show the girl and her Leomon, "Calm down, we've got digivices as well, no need to think we're hostile."

"..I'm hostile." Ruki muttered under her breath.

Leomon blinked, but didn't let down its guard, still glaring over at you warily. The girl on the other hand let out a sigh, "That's a relief," she smiled, "I only just met Leomon not long ago when we got stuck down here, and all the other digimon here have been really hostile, I probably would have died if Leomon didn't come to my rescue."

Ah, so they met down here then. And the lion is really just a big softy, and scared of your strength.

"No worries," you smiled back, "There were a few digimon attacking people up above, and we took care of them. We came down here to make sure nobody was in trouble."

"Turning up the charm again are you?" Ruki taunted lowly from behind you, "Really aiming for that harem finish aren't ya babe?"

Note to self. You were going to give this girl a really good spanking tonight.

"So what's the situation like in here?" you asked, looking towards Leomon and getting right to the point.

Leomon looked almost lost at you addressing him, but blinked and answered, "..I am unsure what is fully going on," the lion digimon replied, "All I know is that I saw some manner of creature in the digital world, it created some kind of ripple and then I found myself here, with many digimon attacking each other and saw Jeri about to be killed so jumped into action."

You nodded, seemed simple enough. You were almost certain this had to do with Data Eater's, you could almost instinctively feel that there was at least one here and it was behind this mess. And the digimon appearing altogether would panic, or in the case of the stronger or more ambitious ones, see a lucky egg fall into their laps.

"I don't see any Digimon left around here," Ruki cut in, looking around the warped train station with a critical violet gaze, "Did you defeat them all and load their data?"

"No," Leomon replied, and you noted he went almost shame faced. Jeri touched a gentle hand to one of his massive fists gaining his attention and smiled soothingly at him, the lion man sighed, "I am ashamed to admit, it was all I could do to grab Jeri and escape up here where the weaker digimon escaped to, there are many more powerful digimon fighting further down, I dare say the one who is left standing at the end will possibly even stand at the pinnacle of the Mega Level."

"Really now?" Ruki's eyes gleamed with excitement, and she lifted her Eden Digivice up, looking into the screen at her remaining two digimon, "Then this just got interesting. My digimon will be able to power up immensely in here."

"Sorry to butt in," Jeri cut in, looking at Ruki's digivice, "But why is your digivice so different from mine?"

"Oh?" you hummed, lifting your own and showing it off to her, "These are Digivice's used for Eden, we both have the same type of digivice as you as well, but I didn't trust them, we have no idea who sent them to us after all, so I just copied over their most useful programs to my Eden digivice and didn't bother with it."

You then looked to Leomon, "No offense," you started, "But I don't want any of that digidestined bullshit, saving your world isn't my problem."

"..No offense taken?" Leomon replied awkwardly, "...What is a digidestined?" he muttered under his breath so lowly you only heard due to your enhanced body.

"But yeah, I think these are superior in every way," you continued, you pressed one of the buttons on your digivice and an image of all your digimon ready and waiting for you if you needed them appeared, "They can store our digimon for one so they don't need to hide like idiots in the real world, and with them we can form partnerships with multiple digimon at once."

"Very impressive," Leomon crossed his arms and nodded, looking at the screen, "As expected of a human of your power. I see multiple ultimate level digimon in there, and at least two mega level's as well I'm sure."

"Yeah this guy's a freak when it comes to raising digimon," Ruki cut in, jabbing her thumb at you, then looked pointedly at Jeri's almost reddish brown hair, "Also a freaking casanova with a thing for redheads, so best watch out before he seduces you like he did me."

You rolled your eyes, "Ignore her." you told Jeri, who merely giggled.

"You're funny," she pointed out, before her eyes pragmatically zeroed in on your digivice, "Is it possible for me to get one of those as well? I don't want to force everything on Leomon."

"...Allies would be a great help, I will not lie." Leomon nodded.

Well, you did actually have a spare Eden Digivice. You took it off that one guy early on when you started your quest to make your digimon powerful so you could make more money.

...Funny how your goals these days seemed to be getting further and further away from what you originally wanted.
