This is the Hunt [Adam /ask]

[Adam Jackson]

Both Remy and Renae could do nothing but watch in horror as the champion level digimon jumped over them and then lunged to maul their tamer and best friend to death. As the attack was close to connected, the champion digimon began to glow with brightness forcing the other digimon to look away. Though as this was happening, the two rookie level digimon could swear they heard a feminine voice coming from the broken digivice. Maybe their nerves were just shot but they did know that as they looked back towards their tamer, instead of him being dead, he was holding a..crying in training koichi! The twins quickly ran up to their tamer who had just dropped the broken digivice and now had his arms wrapped around Koichi tightly as if he were his own child and was crying his eyes out with both sadness and joy. When Koichi asked why his eyes were wet, Renae just sat on her knees and gave him a compassionate look as she stroked his cheek.

"They are wet because you are crying. You cry when you feel sad. You feel sad when something bad happens and it hurts you or someone you care about. Adam is crying because he was sad that you were in such pain and he could do nothing about it. He loves you and we were all afraid we were gonna lose you."

As his female digimon spoke, Adam just held Koichi tightly to him like he was afraid that the tiny digimon was gonna float away if he let him go. All he could think about was seeing the little digimon's tamer getting mauled and his egg damaged while he could do nothing to stop it. What kind of hero was he if he couldn't save a girl and her baby digimon? As Adam cried, his body began to shake making Remy worry a little. When Remy reached out to try and seperate the two, Renae just grabbed her brothers wrist and shook her head as a silent way to say to let them be and that crying together would help both of them heal. Remy just nodded and decided to sit down and wait for a bit in the grass. Renae just smiled at her new baby and her young tamer. Sometimes she forgot that the brave jungle boy who charged into battle to save others without a second thought was still a child himself and that even his emotions could get filled to the brim. Once a few minutes had passed, she reached out and patted both Koichi's head and Adam's.

"Why don't we go get something to eat huh?"

Adam looked up at Renae and nodded and then down at Koichi.

"I swear I'll never let you hurt like that again."

Koichi couldn't stop looking at Adam's face as the tamer was holding him this tight, sure it was slightly comforting, but why was the tamer leaking?
Renae started explaining that he was actually crying. A weird term, totally unknown to the Chorkimon. His red eyes still full of tears, the pup gently brought his paw to Adam's face. "I- I'm sorry." He told the human, the tears dripping into his fur. He then buried his face into the tamer's neck. The in-training was still a little bit shaken, he had killed.. a baby. And then he had attacked the ones that took him in. What kind of digimon would do such a thing?

The Chorkimon shuddered at the memory, and then pulled back. "I.. don't want to digivolve anymore." He spoke, his usual monotone voice trembling. He wasn't sure if the Tokomon's data had given him the sufficient access to feel sadness, but the thought of it just made Koichi more determined to never ever lose control like that anymore. His stages beyond rookie, were now off limits.
Then Adam began to cry, thus holding the baby digimon closer, Koichi just let him. The In-training whimpered before bursting into a blubbering furry mess.

After a few minutes had passed, Renae reached out and pat his head. Koichi looked up, licking his nose to get rid of a few tears that were sliding down.
The pup then looked at Adam as the female Renamon suggested they should go and grab something to eat. Adam didn't respond like Koichi thought he would, instead telling him that he would never be hurt again. The in-training nodded, snuggling into the human's arms once again.
He still had no idea how that voice had managed to calm him down, but at this point, it didn't really matter.
