The virus slowed down to charge its first attack. Its head craned backwards with a devilish glow emanating from its mouth. It hurled forth a mighty fireball, orange petals whisking off a white hot orb of fury. Ren ran straight at it, feeling the heat on their fur, the squeeze of their pupils, and se

“Maria,” said a panicked Ren. “Something’s coming. We gotta get out of here!” A curse grunted out of Maria. She stabbed a finger towards the open door. “Get out! Help me!” Ren stooped to reach for her but felt the door they were holding up come down with them. With a terrific heave the

4:488 An Attack by TheGreatJaceyGee

A terrified shout blurted out of Ren. They pushed against the side of the driver’s seat to sit “upright” with the car. Maria was in a heap against the driver’s door, half buried in empty coffee cups, change, and trash. Her arms were held up in the air in front of her scrunching face like som

4:487 Out on Patrol by TheGreatJaceyGee

A different version of Ren/Jared would’ve answered with more flavor like “As I’ll ever be” or “Let’s rock and roll” besides the simple “Yes” they actually gave. “Alright. Let’s roll.” Maria twirled for the door, leaving Ren feeling like they could’ve said more. Maybe this r

4:486 Breakfast by TheGreatJaceyGee

Another grumble was Maria’s response. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to begin making breakfast. Ren sat forward on the couch to resume watching the news. While the sound and smell of fried eggs and bacon filled the apartment Ren absorbed what else was going on in the world: sports,

Ren read the letter in silence, stuttering his blue eyes across each line of script. The package was in the crook of their arm. The pattern had been so firmly set that they felt themselves doing it already: cutting the box open, trying to decipher what the suit was, then putting it on and piecing to

4:484 Mum by TheGreatJaceyGee

Ren let go of Maria’s dad to face her mom with open arms. “Hey, mom.” They went in for the hug, but a look of shock had come over her face. It took a moment for Ren to realize what they had said.

“You called me mom…” she said with coming tears before wrapping her arms around

4:483 Gathering by TheGreatJaceyGee

Ren slowly got used to the sight of more Digimon, though they couldn’t fight a fleeting sense of excitement. Along the way they rekindled the joy of hanging out with Maria. It was like growing up with her again, albeit as two grown adults. In this realm they had gone through trial and trauma toget

4:482 Patrol by TheGreatJaceyGee

Ren slept in a bedroom so sparsely decorated that it was Spartan. They thought it discomforting, though they assumed correctly that past Ren had chosen it this way. The next morning Maria told them that she’d contacted Dave for everyone to get together and have dinner. “We said this coming Wedne

4:481 Online by TheGreatJaceyGee

Maria went back to watch her show. Ren resumed scrolling until they’d hit the bottom of the gallery, seeing nothing of great use. What’s online, I wonder? A jaunt to the Google search bar provided a plethora of options when they typed in ‘Digimon’. Hitting enter brought all the information t

4:480 Phone by TheGreatJaceyGee

Ren waited for the moment when Maria was away from her phone, something she looked at every five minutes or so. It was midway through an episode of a true crime series that Ren finally realized that they could just ask Maria to use it. They were ‘bonded’, afterall. “Ehm, Maria. Do you mind if

4:479 Parents by TheGreatJaceyGee

The name Dave rang a bell. Dave. I think I met Dave, one of Maria’s friends. “That sounds nice. And maybe our parents- Err, your parents can come too?” They were already wincing at the slip up. It dawned on them that the people that had been their parents in the original realm were no longer a

4:478 Reunion by TheGreatJaceyGee

Maria pointed a finger at them. “There’s another smile, and yes you were, to me at least.” Maria grabbed the last pair of bags and hung them on Ren whose arms could not be seen beneath the continuous row of plastic bag handles. “Those months while I was hiding you were crazy. I didn’t know

4:477 Digivice by TheGreatJaceyGee

To that, Maria laughed out loud. “Please. You sound like we haven’t seen each other in weeks. You’re practically attached to my hip.” She put on more bags. While sliding one down, Ren noticed the device on her wrist. She caught them staring at it. “What?”

“That there on you

4:476 Groceries by TheGreatJaceyGee

Ren looked down and saw Maria halfway down the steps already. “Oh, yeah. Sorry.” Ren came down the rest of the stairs. The soft breeze of air against their fur reminded them that they were nude, something that wouldn’t have been bothersome if not for the presence of their clothed sister. While

4:475 Calm by TheGreatJaceyGee

“Everything alright? You looked like you were about to diamond blast me right now.”

Diamond blast? Is that what I can do? “Erm, sorry. I didn’t know who was… coming in.”

“Were you expecting someone?” Maria asked. She looked around the apartment. “Is someone

4:474 Sister by TheGreatJaceyGee

Jared had spent the time just standing there in the doorway, ruminating and gawking stupidly at Maria’s bedroom before realizing they had a whole apartment to explore, and a potentially new and fascinating world beyond that. They did an about face and saw the rest of Maria’s abode, its furniture

4:473 Sister's Room by TheGreatJaceyGee

He stood in the wake of his transformation in a buzz. One three-fingered paw came up and touched his face. An amazed sigh hooted out of him. No… her? It had been years since Jared had even thought about Digimon. He didn’t realize he was turning into one until it was already consuming him. Was Re

4:472 Renamon by TheGreatJaceyGee

…treat you better than the previous two trips. Jared had come to doubt such promises. His current foray as a Pokémon mayor was fun and all, but the past trauma of being hunted and locked up in a cell still lingered strong in his mind as it would for as long as he lived. As long as I live. How lon

4:471 New Costume by TheGreatJaceyGee

No matter the simplicity of his duties, Jared set about them with all the gusto he’d learned from his years as a restaurant host. Being a politician can be fun, he learned once the bright and smiling faces of his village would cordially greet him and tell them how their lives were. Everything was
