Chapter 33

If you wanted to beat Exveemon here to death and just take his data to make an egg, you'd Electric Stun Blast him while he was down, try to stun him and then beat him over and over with your bone club.

That's the pragmatic asshole tactic you usually like to employ. But right now, you aren't going to be that asshole, not to a digimon who will join your team.

Because yeah, you're a cunt, maybe even a bit of a violent sociopath and care not a lick for enemies you put down. But one thing you aren't is somebody who disregards those around you.

You take good care of your boys...and girl. And Exveemon is gonna be one of your boys.

So you stepped back, and then you done something you usually wouldn't ever do in a violent fight. You dismissed your weapon, letting your club fade.

"That was quite the counter," Exveemon complimented as he stood up, rubbing slightly at the part where you smashed him with your club. He blinked though upon seeing your lack of weapon, "Why have you got rid of your weapon?" he asked, puzzled.

You smirked, raising your hands up in a basic guard around your face, fists clenched and ready, "I could have taken advantage of you being down and jut lay into you," you explained, "But if you're gonna be my digimon, I'll earn your respect by beating you head on."

Exveemon's eyes went wide, "Glorious!" he declared with a happy guffaw, "Very well then, I will reciprocate, I will not use any of my powers, let us settle this fight with just our bodies!"

When you nodded, his guffaw got even louder and happier and he jumped forward rapidly, swinging a round house kick at the side of your head. Thankfully because of the lack of room, he didn't get to accelerate and so you saw the attack coming, near bullet like, but you got your arm out just quick enough to block it with your forearm.

"Orah!" Exveemon shouted in exertion, lashing out with a speedy jab with his right hand right towards your face. You couldn't react fast enough and his giant fist slipped past your guarding hand, slamming into your face.

Your face throbbed in pain, but you used the momentum behind the punch to lash out with your other hand and grab the hand he punched you with and tug both him forward off of his feet and you forward before you fell back and drove a brain rattling headbutt into his head.

"Gah!" he choked in pain and stumbled back, off balance because of the way his leg was up as he kicked at you. Grinning, you stepped forward and laid a quick one two, a right jab, then a left jab that drove the air from his lungs, and then ducked as he lashed out blindly and jumped up to smash an uppercut into his chin that lifted him up off of his feet and laid him flat on his back.

Bouncing on your toes you let Exveemon struggle his way up to his feet on shaky legs. Only, the moment he got up, you were already in motion driving your strongest punch into his stomach.

This is still a fight after all.

The massive blue bipedal dragon bent over your fist and you followed up by jerking your elbow up and catching him under the jaw again.

His body jerked up, but you weren't done there. Lashing out, you grabbed his head with both hands and pulled it down into a driving knee that smashed into his chin with enough force to bodily lift him up into the air, flip over and smash into the ground face first groaning in pain.

You panted deeply, and retracted your fists into a guard around your face once again, "Wanna keep going?" you asked, unable to keep the smile from your face.

This is awesome. You haven't had an awesome fist fight like this since you left the gang you used to run with. Ever since you started fighting digimon, you'd been all about pragmatism, jumping them from behind, ganging up on the, never letting up until they went down.

It was fun to just let loose like this in a proper fist fight for once, with a really strong opponent. You'd missed this.

"...No..." Exveemon's voice muffled by the ground sounded in your ears. He drew himself up and took a knee before you, "You definitely have the strength to be my tamer. Won't you please take me as your underling Lord Hayato?"

Huh. Lord Hayato. You kinda liked the sound of that.

You grinned, "Yeah, I'll train you up nice and strong." You pulled your digivice out and lifted it up, screen facing Exveemon, "Now don't resist. Capture on!" you declared.

From the screen, a beam of light shot out and surrounded Exveemon's form in a ring. Then from the feet up a glow began to go up his body until he was covered in the glow fully, and he was sucked inside the digivice.

There was silence for a moment, just you alone in the hallway leading into Kowloon Level 2 and the sounds of your deep excited panting.

"...Bro you're fucking insane." Devimon's voice rang out from the digivice.

"What no, that was awesome!" Black Greymon X cut in, gushing, Garurmon agreeing and cheering with him.

"....This recording should make for great advertisement on our website." Devidramon commented.

Gatomon just sighed.

"Well, it's quite lively in here isn't it now?" Exveemon, the newest resident of your digivice piped up.
