Bigger Fish to Fry [Nokk]

Now greatly angered, the Gesomon screeched and roared in pain. However, only the tips of the silver trident having pierced the white rubber-like skin. While not a fatal wound, a faint spray of data fell from the wound and mixed with the water as the trident was retracted.

“I’ll ge-ge-geso you for that! I’ll make you pay!”

Using the creatures angered writhing as an escape, Levi pushed off from the sea wall. Swimming at full pelt through the waters depths. Out of nowhere, a tentacle stretching faster than she could swim. Scooped up the little shark and with great force slammed her into the wall, once more. The Gesomon looked down upon Levi, like a spider who has caught its prey and was preparing to strike!

“Barnacles!”

Levi repeated these words once again, as she attempted to once more strike with her trident. Although this time, the Gesomon was prepared. The smaller leg tentacles had wrapped around it tightly, and were tugging it down.

“Geso-geso-geso! Now you are going too pay!“

The free tentacle raised up and prepared to strike, hovering in the current as if waiting for the perfect opportunity. Almost gloating the small shark. The terrible white monster released another round of shrill laughter. Levi closed her eyes, preparing for a crushing blow. But none came.

Gesomon fell silent. Between all the fighting, Levi and Gesomon has failed to notice the arrival of a third competitor. As the shark opened her eyes, wondering why there had been no pain. She caught sight of it, right above them. Circling them.

A giant, black-scaled monster. At first she only caught sight of the sleek black tail, cutting through the ocean as it turned.

The only words that came to mind were... 
“Oh...fish paste!”

Levi’s mouth fell open, revealing rows of sharpened teeth. But nothing compared to the monster who continued to circle them.

Levi couldn’t help but tilt her head as the creature spoke. It voice was oddly cute and sweet, in comparison to its giant monster-like body.

Once more, Levi opened her mouth to reply. But Gesomon beat her to it.

“Geso-geso! Geso! This is MY prey! Go and find your own, you filthy monster. This will be MY land! ALL MINE! Geso-geso-geso!”

The Gesomon stormed, angrily. The tentacles flailing, angrily. The grip on the little shark was released and she swam away, casting a sizable distance between herself and rubber arms. As well as from the unknown monster Digimon.

“I dun’t know whats you is,” Levi muttered bravely.

Before continuing, she flicked her tail and shot the trident back up. With a great bite, it returned to her mouth, secured by the teeth. The long steel chain falling to her side. Falling several inches to near her tail.

“But, yesh. Gesomon, bad Digimon.”
Upon these words, her wide black eyes eyes narrowed into cat-like slits.

The Gesomon turned between the monster and Levi herself, unsure which one to attack first. Both of them seemed like adequate targets and both were getting in its way. That means they needed to pay and get out of Gesomon’s way!

Against her better judgment, Levi watched as the giant monster creature spoke. Levi was unsure what these words actually meant. Although, the look of intense anger that she show the Gesomon was enough said.

The Gesomon was getting equally riled up. It appeared to be swelling just as much as the monster Digimon that seemed to call itself, ‘Nokk’.

“Geso Geso! This is my land! Begone foul monster! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!”

Before the rubberized squid speak any further or could even lift a tentacle, Nokk swung. Levi caught it as it moved slowly through the ocean. The tail rose and fell like a massive anvil. With a great deal of force slammed right into the furious squid’s body.

Like a cannonball, Gesomon shot down and slammed hard into the ocean floor. Crumpled and defeated? Or so it seemed.

“Woah…” Levi muttered.

Her eyes wide as she took note of the size that the monster, Nokk had grown too. It must have been at least sixty foot tall now, at the very least. Unsure, she clasped harder onto the trident’s hilt.

“Is you’ze a friends? Or a not friends? Levi would rather you be’ze a friends. Don’t want to fights with you.”

While Levi was going to protect her town and friends no matter what the cost was. She was also willing to do it in a peaceful manner. Unnecessary fighting was not the way, she had been taught by Marine. She would besmirch his memory with an unneeded attack. Especially one that was at least 56 foot taller than her.

“Levi...” she pointed her fins at herself. “Levi, friend. Okays?!

But, in the short time that Levi had been speaking to Nokk. The disgruntled and crumpled form of Gesomon stirred.

“Geso-Geso-Geso! I-I’m going to rip that town a...apart! I’m gonna swallow up all the data of everyone who c..called it home. Just. Because. Of. You!”

The Gesomon stumbled clumsily, almost drunkely back onto its tentacles.

“I’ll make sure… make sure you… you pay!”

It opened its mouth wide and spat out a jet of black ink. The ink swelled around them cloaking them in a cloud of darkness.

Levi raised her trident, once more. Unsure it this was a attempt at an escape or readying for a sneak attack.

“Nokk-friend. Takes care for Gesomon! Okay?”

Gesomon’s last attack has caused an inky blot separating the three of them from one another. The black stain on the water, thick like swamp, but dense like the mistiest mist. Levi raised her trident, ready for an attack to come from any angle. Just in case.

Her instincts proved correct, as Gesomon appeared right on top of her. Bursting through the cloud. A white blot against the cloudy black.

“Now I got you! It’s time to fall! Then it’ll be your friend. Don’t worry I’ll make sure that they see what I do to you. Geso, Geso, Geso!” Gesomon shrieked, followed by a cold, threatening laugh. The rubberized squid raised a tentacle and was ready to strike.

"NOW, FALL!"

The fierce swipe of clawed tentacle was inches away from Levi. Unable to move in time to block, avoid or anything. Levi looked on in almost horror.

But before any pain reached Levi, before she felt the claws cut into her or tentacle wrap around her. The Gesomon seemed to fall away from them down to the ocean floor. Levi blinked, slightly confused.

Gesomon released another shriek but this time of intense pain. Although unclear, through the cloud, Nokk had struck once again. Her tail had swiped down, right onto the Gesomon’s head. The giant’s sea beasts swipe had even cleared the inky cloud.

Levi blinked, several times as her vision was restored. She raised her trident but there was now no need. It was clear that the Gesomon was now unable to move. Flattened, defeated, crushed and destroyed. Gesomon lay crumpled at on the sea floor. The defeated squid opened his mouth as if to say something but no word was uttered from the mouth. 

Before Levi could say a word, the squid vanished. A whoosh of data flew up as the creature evaporated into fragments. The remains of the once vicious monster glistened against the now calm ocean for a second and then vanished too.

“Monster, gone? Das much good,” Levi breathed a sigh of relief, finally lowering her trident from its attack position.
“Thank Nokk. Nokk save Levi. Nokk is new friend of Levi,” she muttered, as if clarifying the proceeding.

For a moment, Levi stared at Nokk, almost searchingly. Her face screwed up, ever so slightly, as if she was considering a very difficult equation. After a few seconds of of silence, Levi swam closer to the titanic monster.

“Levi would invite Nokk to Levi home. But Nokk...”

She paused to stare up at the giant monster, who still towered over the tiny shark.
