"Myself? What do you mean?"
Mo Si was confused.
Angewomon explained, "I can take over my past evolutionary stages. For example, I can take over Gatomon's eyes and claws, then use Gatomon's moves while remaining in my Ultimate form."
Mo Si asked in surprise, "You can do that?"
Angewomon said, "I was just as surprised as you at first. Perhaps the unique nature of Digimon caused Take Over Magic to undergo a special change when used on us."
Trying it out beat puzzling over it, so Mo Si attempted to use Take Over Magic herself.
"Partial Take Over: Gatomon's claws!"
Mo Si raised her right hand. A magic circle appeared in front of it, then lit up as a mosaic covered her hand.
The mosaic flashed and vanished. When it disappeared, a furry claw glove had appeared over her fair, delicate right hand, with three sharp black claws at its tip. It was Gatomon's claw glove.
Although it was Gatomon's claw glove, its data came from the claws of the Mega-level Gryphonmon, giving it considerable power.
Mo Si asked, "How powerful is it?"
Angewomon said, "Any vigorous movement would have woken you, so I haven't tried it."
You're so gentle!
Warmth filled Mo Si's heart. She dispelled the magic, washed up in the bathroom, and left her room, running into Mira, Lisanna, Erza, Cana, and the others.
This was the girls' dormitory, after all.
They greeted one another, then headed to the guild together.
After finishing breakfast, Mo Si asked Erza, "Erza, I want to test the power of my Take Over Magic. Where can I go?"
Lisanna looked astonished. "You've already learned Take Over Magic, Mo Si?"
Mo Si nodded. "I made quite a bit of progress yesterday."
Lisanna couldn't help looking envious. Although she had mastered her magic power earlier than Mo Si, she was still learning how to use magic.
Erza said, "You can go to the hill out back."
She often practiced magic in a clearing on the hill. Since Mo Si wanted to test her magic's power, she took her to her training spot. Curious, Mira, Lisanna, Cana, and the others followed along.
In the clearing on the hill, Mo Si found a rock as tall as a person.
"Partial Take Over: Gatomon's claws!"
Gatomon's claw glove appeared on her right hand once more.
She clenched her fist.
And punched!
The great rock shattered with a bang, fragments scattering in every direction like a shower of flowers.
"She shattered a rock that big with one punch!"
"And with nothing but brute strength!"
"That's amazing!"
Mira, Lisanna, Erza, Cana, and the others watched from a distance, exclaiming in wonder.
"I'll call that move... Holy Blast Fist!"
Mo Si gave the move she had just used a name.
Angewomon had remained silent in her mind all this time, but upon hearing "Holy Blast Fist," she couldn't help reminding her, "That's Gatomon's skill-Kitty Punch."
Mo Si knew that, of course. With a hint of disdain, she said, "Kitty Punch doesn't sound imposing enough."
"But it is Kitty Punch," Angewomon insisted.
Mo Si pursed her lips, thinking that calling it Kitty Punch wasn't so bad.
It might sound less intimidating, but it added another layer of psychological damage.
She imagined the following scene-
A defeated enemy asked, "What kind of fist technique was that?"
The answer: "Kitty Punch."
Upon hearing that, the enemy was so overcome with shame, fury, and frustration that rage flooded their heart and they dropped dead...
Looking at the shattered rock, Angewomon marveled, "What incredible power! Using Kitty Punch with an Ultimate-level body really is much more powerful than using it as a Champion."
Mo Si thought that taking over Gatomon ultimately only gave her a few more ways to attack. It hadn't improved her overall strength much.
But what if she took over a Mega-level Digimon?
Mo Si asked, "Can we take over a Mega form?"
Angewomon said, "The data for our past forms is stored in our body, so we can take those over. But our future forms have never appeared, so it's impossible to take them over."
Mo Si raised her right hand, igniting Digisoul in her palm. "What if we add Digisoul?"
She remembered that in the original fifth Digimon series, the main cast's Digimon had briefly manifested their Mega forms while still in their Ultimate bodies. It was something like a trial pass.
That had undoubtedly been an effect of Digisoul.
If she combined Digisoul with Take Over Magic, perhaps she could make something of it.
Angewomon said, "I'll give it a try."
Mo Si smiled. "I'm counting on you, my other self."
"..."
As the client, Mo Si only had to supply the idea. As the contractor, however, Angewomon had far more to consider.
Early the next morning, in the girls' dormitory.
Waking once more, Mo Si yawned. She sensed that the magic power within her had grown stronger again, smiled faintly, and asked, "Angewomon, have you made any progress?"
As soon as she spoke, Angewomon's voice sounded in her mind. "It's still only a theory at this point. You'll need to use Digisoul to bring out our evolved form before you can take it over."
First, use Digisoul to activate a "trial pass," then use Take Over Magic to take over the "trial pass's" abilities... Mo Si more or less understood.
Under Angewomon's guidance, Mo Si began charging herself with Digisoul.
"Digisoul, charge!"
Mo Si didn't have a Digivice, so she could only use a rather crude method.
She gathered a mass of Digisoul in her palm, then slapped it against her flat stomach.
The next instant, a mysterious wind sprang up.
It blew her golden hair upward, as though she were transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Then a soft white light radiated from her body, tinged with a little pink.
After that, a pink phantom appeared above her head.
It had the outline of a pile of poop...
Sukamon!
Mo Si took half a step back. "Ew, good thing this isn't a real evolution."
Angewomon wasn't surprised or repulsed by Sukamon's phantom. Instead, she said, "This is perfectly normal. Without outside intervention, Digimon that rush to evolve can suffer a data breakdown during the process and become this kind of mutant Digimon."
As she spoke, Sukamon's phantom disappeared.
"Are you saying I'm being too impatient?"
Mo Si went into the bathroom, bathed and changed, then returned to charge herself again.
The phantom appeared once more. This time, it wasn't Sukamon, but something resembling a rotten slime.
Scumon!
"Charge again!"
"Again!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
The third phantom was Sukamon.
The fourth was Sukamon.
The fifth was Scumon.
The sixth was Sukamon.
The seventh was... finally a humanoid Digimon.
Tall and thin, draped in a cloak.
Myotismon!
With some distaste, Angewomon said, "Mo Si, neither our physical nor our mental state is ready for evolution yet. Don't force it."
Mo Si didn't entirely agree with Angewomon.
The moment she saw Myotismon, she understood how it worked.
It was like a card-drawing game. Every card in the pool represented one of her possible evolutions, and each Digisoul charge was equivalent to drawing a card.
Sukamon was the most common card in the pool, followed by Scumon, then ZombieSatanmon and Myotismon, and finally LadyDevimon. There were only these five cards.
Because even if she wanted to evolve right now, she could only evolve into one of these five Digimon.
Sukamon and Scumon were hardly necessary. Angewomon attacking with poop and vomit-even a pervert like Mo Si didn't want to imagine that scene.
ZombieSatanmon, Myotismon, and LadyDevimon, however, had plenty of useful abilities worth taking over.
If she passed up Myotismon this time, who knew when she would draw that card again?
Mo Si made her decision on the spot. "Full-body Take Over: Myotismon's soul!"
Angewomon was shocked, but it was too late to stop her.
Mo Si had already taken Myotismon's soul into her body.
Her Angewomon body changed with it. She didn't turn into Myotismon; Take Over Magic used the caster's appearance as its foundation, then added the traits of whatever they took over.
Thus, a high-collared cloak, black outside and red inside, appeared behind Mo Si. The three feather ornaments on either side of her helmet turned into bat wings, her bodice changed from a wing design to a skull design, and her clothes shifted from white to dark blue.
Finally, her shoes changed from white leather heels with black soles to black leather heels with red soles.
She looked just like a vampire queen!
