Veemon's Hypnotherapy
After a series of mysterious disappearances, Veemon is coerced into seeing a therapist for help - but the visit doesn't quite go as expected.
Veemon nervously trembled in his seat as he sat in the lonely waiting
room of the therapist's office. It was the poor thing's first time
visiting the place, and he didn't know what to expect. It was a place he
never thought he'd find himself, but his circumstances demanded it.
Intrusive thoughts plagued his mind; fear and anxiety were giving way to
paranoia, and Veemon was beginning to fear he was going completely
crazy. Worse, he was beginning to shy away from his friends and family
because of it. He could no longer trust anyone, and it was destroying
his life! But although he knew he was thinking irrationally, he knew
there was logic behind his madness - and it was hard to calm himself.
A series of kidnappings in Shibuya had him on edge, and he feared he
could be the next victim. Digimon were being abducted from their
tamers, and returned completely different than how they were when they
left - and no one knew why it was happening. One day they were perfectly
normal, then they were gone - only to come back a week later with a new
strange mentality. It was like they were like infants again! When
they'd return to their tamers, they'd be crawling around, cooing and
giggling happily, sucking on pacifiers, wearing diapers, and just simply
being infantile in all ways imaginable. They didn't have any memory of
what happened, and no one knew how this was even possible! It seemed
ridiculous, but it was true.
Veemon hardly paid any attention in the beginning - but after what
had happened to Patamon, he began to panic. It terrified him to know
that someone was doing such a scary thing, and he was growing so fearful
that it was quickly getting the best of him. His tamer was supposed to
be the courageous one of the group, but now... now the poor thing was
becoming so anxious that he was becoming paranoid, and his fear was
overwhelming him so much that he could hardly function. He didn't think
he needed help... but a flyer in the mail had changed his mind.
Of course he'd thought it was ridiculous, at first. Then it began to
hit him; there were a group of humans trying to do research into the
brains of Digimon in the human world. They were apparently fully
licensed and trained, and with their knowledge of psychology; well,
Digimon were made by humans, so methods used to help humans should work
to help him, right? At first, he was reluctant to believe it was
necessary, but here he was - impatiently waiting in the lobby, hoping
for the best. Would it hurt to talk about it? To get a second opinion;
to at least have someone he could tell his fears to without being
judged?
"Veemon! The doctor will see you now!" he heard.
The blue Digimon flinched lightly at the sudden disturbance in the
otherwise silent waiting room before quickly rising from his seat.
Reluctantly, he followed the friendly looking secretary past the front
desk and into the back offices. Veemon navigated through narrow hallways
lined with locked doors, generic office wall art, and fake plants - but
although it was all very confusing, the secretary led him straight
through to the therapist's office. They both stopped at a door, and he
nervously played with his fingers as the secretary quickly smirked in
his direction - as if a comfortable way of letting him know everything
was going to be okay.
The secretary knocked on the door, and a moment later, a tall, slim
man opened the door. He knelt down and smiled at the Digimon, who was
only a couple feet tall. It was like a grown adult was greeting a child,
and it somehow made Veemon feel smaller than he actually was.
"Hello there, Veemon! Come on in, and take a seat" the man greeted.
Veemon nodded and uttered out a bit of a 'thank you,' before walking
deeper into the office and sitting down on a large, comfy chair. The
room was well kept and comfortable; it had a warm tone about it, though
something still seemed eerily off. The man seemed friendly and
welcoming, but Veemon was still nervous about everything. It would take a
whole lot more than a friendly greeting to earn his trust!
"Veemon, what brings you into my office today?" the therapist asked as he sat down.
Veemon nervously sat down in the chair and continued to toy with his
hands as he began to think of a way to explain his emotions. He
certainly wasn't the emotional type, but in this situation, he was
required to figure out a way to convert feelings and thoughts to speech.
It was difficult, and he found himself at a lost for words.
"Erm... I don't really know w-where to begin," Veemon nervously
began, squirming awkwardly in his seat, malcontent with his mental
state.
"On the telephone you mentioned you were having problems coping with
stress, and that you were having troubling thoughts. Let's start
there," the therapist suggested. He smiled warmly down at Veemon.
"Well, erm... I'm- um, it's kind of hard to talk about," Veemon
sighed, rubbing the back of his head nervously. It was painful to be
this shy!
He felt so stupid and awkward, being put on the spot. He never truly
confessed to anyone why he was so scared - but of course he was sure
that even his tamer knew. Veemon knew the source of his stress and his
anxiety, but it tore him up to admit that he thought he might be the
next victim - he was supposed to be courageous. Now... he wasn't so sure.
"Just relax and take your time" the therapist instructed, leaning
back in his chair. His right leg crossed his left as he gave Veemon
another warm smile, if a bit clinical.
The Digimon sighed and nodded his head understandingly, and took a
moment to collect himself before continuing on his embarrassing mental
trek.
"Well... have you heard of the kidnappings that've been happening
recently?" Veemon asked, his head tilting a little to the left.
"I have, yes," the therapist confirmed, nodding his head and taking a
nearby notepad from the desk. Veemon could see the therapist was
already jotting down notes even though they had hardly spoken, and he
wondered just what the man was seeing that was noteworthy.
"I-I... I'm scared I might become the next victim" Veemon admitted -
his face burning from embarrassment. Although he felt butterflies in
his chest, he knew he was doing the right thing by admitting his
problem.
"Veemon, that is nothing to be ashamed of - I want you to know that.
But let's figure out exactly what scares you about this" the therapist
sincerely stated.
"Well... I'm supposed to be courageous, I'm supposed to be strong,
fight evil, that sort of thing! How could I do that if I become some...
some infant! I... I would be a letdown to everyone! And what would they
think of me?!" his heart raced and he swallowed hard.
Simply thinking about it was putting Veemon on the verge of an
anxiety attack, but the therapist looked right through it and shook his
head.
"So you're concerned that... if this person were to somehow choose
you, you'd let down other people? You don't want to disappoint anyone
because you feel responsible?" the therapist asked, still writing notes
down.
"Well yeah, I mean... even my tamer is supposed to be courageous! How
could I let something like that happen to me? I'm the strong Digimon of
the group, I'm the one who everyone has to rely on! It's my job... my
duty," Veemon justified.
The therapist nodded his head.
"Any other concerns? Surely this fear is deeper than just others'
dependencies on you" the man admitted, waving his hands in the air as if
he were talking with them.
"I don't know... I guess. I just... erm... it's just so scary that
someone out there is... doing something so terrible and cruel, for no
reason!" Veemon explained. It felt good to get off his chest.
"Well, let's look at the reality of the situation as we know it.
This person that's out there... he's not necessarily doing anything
cruel. These Digimon have no memory of what happened, and no sign of
harm" the therapist pointed out.
"B-But how do we know their memories aren't gone because of what
happened? A-A-And how can you say it's not cruel to be kidnapped, and
come back like how they are? Th-They're practically babies again! And
they... they have no memories of any of it! They can't remember
anything. It's as if their whole lives have been erased" Veemon
elaborated.
"Hm... I don't see it that way, Veemon. They still remember their
tamers quite well. The victims have shown plenty signs of self-awareness
and, given the limitations of their mental state - have proven that
they still associate a lot of things with memories from before being
kidnapped. What is peculiar is that many of them seem to be... actually
quite content in their new mentality" the therapist continued.
Veemon slowly stopped playing with his fingers, and he looked up at
the therapist. Was he really justifying what was happening to the
Digimon in Shibuya? Was this professional truly attempting to shine a
silver lining on such a terrible situation? It irritated Veemon a bit,
and it flared his anxiety. But he did his best to maintain his composure
and continue the session. He was a doctor, after all, and the optimism
was an interesting perspective to hear.
"How would they be happier like that? I-I-I had a friend who was
kidnapped. They came back a week later and it was like they were a baby.
They needed to be fed and cared for all the time. They even needed to
wear and use diapers! It seemed like every time their tamer tried taking
them out of it, they'd just start crying and demanding to be put back!"
Veemon argued.
"But your friend was as happy as could be before their tamer was
trying to force anything on them, right? I mean... surely, a child's
perspective on the world is a brighter, happier, and less stressful
place. Entertainment comes easier... you'd get cared for, and you'd
never need to ever worry about responsibility or dealing with the real
world" the therapist continued.
"I... don't... see it that way. I see it like someone is stealing
them and forcing something on them, and their tamers are losing a friend
because they come back completely different" Veemon argued.
"They're not different. The way they see the world, and the way the
world sees them - is the only thing that changes, Veemon," the therapist
coldly stated.
A lump began to build in Veemon's throat. Something didn't feel
right to him, and he couldn't ignore his paranoia any longer. As the
therapist looked towards him, a chill went down his spine. He no longer
seemed friendly or trustworthy, and the therapist's stare began to make
Veemon feel uncomfortable. Something definitely didn't seem right
anymore... and Veemon had had enough.
"I'm going to go," Veemon said; but it was in vain. The therapist
suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing a deep, crimson color. Before
Veemon could exit the office, two green, muscular Ogremon came stumbling
in and blocked his way out.
"Where do you think you're goin', bub?" the first one dumbly said.
Veemon staggered back, tripping over his own two feet and onto the
floor. At once, before the Digimon could react - he was quickly lifted
up and placed in the chair!
"Veemon, Veemon. Did you really think you were going to escape so
easily?" the therapist clucked his tongue, his mouth curling into a
cynical smile.
He removed his coat and before Veemon could do anything more, he watched
in horror as the therapist quickly began to shift form. Suddenly, he
was no longer the friendly therapist Veemon thought he knew, but was now
the vampiric Myotismon; a cruel fiend from the not-so-distant past. The
master of darkness, one who sought to destroy the world, who would
often take control of others using his dark spores, seeds which would
seep into and sulk inside of a being until they were twisted to his
will. Suddenly all became clear; this wasn't a set of random
kidnappings.
It was a plot to take over the world. Through regression.
"Damn..." Veemon gasped under his breath.
Veemon was helplessly held in place by the diabolical virus Digimon. He
struggled to get free - but they were much too large and too strong for
him to escape. He was trapped!
"Oh come now, Veemon. Did you really not expect this? Did you really not
realize that you were next? Oh, but you did; but instead of seeking you
out and stealing you in the night like I did to your friends, I let you
walk right into my trap. Now hold still..." Myotismon evilly instructed.
Veemon watched in horror as Myotismon reached into his cloak and pulled
out a small, strange object; it almost looked like a seed - like a
spore, but it was somehow different. It had a pale, almost pastel blue
tint to it. Before Veemon could even think about using his V-Headbutt to
counter the incoming spore, Myotismon brought the evil creation to
Veemon's forehead. But no matter how much he struggled the spore sunk
into his head, and then into his brain...
"Ah!" Veemon whined as he felt the spore sink deeply into his head.
His whole forehead burned horribly, and his whole skull instantly
throbbed like the worst migraine he had ever felt in his life. Veemon
struggled against his captors to stop the horrible attack, but they held
him still as the spore sunk deeper and deeper inside of him. Panicking,
he could only tremble and stare around as he was forced to take the
spore inside.
"W-What are you doing!? S-Stop!" Veemon argued.
But his captors only chuckled like the villains they were.
"Don't worry little Veemon. You won't remember any of this," Myotismon cackled.
"You won't get away with this!" Veemon shouted! Of course, his warning fell on deaf ears.
"Quickly you insolent whelps; get a diaper on him before he makes a mess on my expensive furniture," Myotismon commanded.
"No!" Veemon whined, struggling to the best of his abilities as he tried to yell as loud as he could.
"And would someone get something to keep him quiet? I can hardly hear myself think!" the villain concluded.
In only a few moments, Veemon's shouts and screams were instantly
muffled. An overwhelmingly large pacifier was shoved deep into his mouth
and held in place by a strap that was fastened tightly around his head.
Next, with the larger of the two Ogremon holding him in place, he
watched in horror as the other approached him with a big, poofy diaper
that seemed just his size.
"Come here little guy!" the Ogremon teased with a menacing chuckle, his eyes narrow and focused on his task.
Without thought of recourse, Veemon tried to V-Punch the incoming
Ogremon, but was still held down by the other. He tried to V-Headbutt,
but that wouldn't work, either. He had no ranged attacks; he was
defenseless! The Ogremon held Veemon's legs tightly, and lifted them up
just enough to slide the diaper underneath his butt. Squirming and
wriggling about, Veemon continued to fight and resist - and although the
Ogremon had diapered plenty of Digimon like this before, Veemon was
proving difficult to subdue...
As he forced his body in all directions, Veemon managed to get one of
his arms free - and he quickly tossed a fist towards the Ogremon with
the diaper. The ruffian stumbled back as the fist slammed into him!
"Agh!" the Ogremon shouted.
But his attack wasn't enough to win the battle. The other Ogremon had
him firmly in place, and the antagonist he attacked was quick to
recover.
"Grah! This little baby needs mittens if he's gonna keep throwing a tantrum!" Veemon heard.
Suddenly, the diapering was put on hold as the two Ogremon worked
together to secure his fists with mittens. One after another, he felt
his hands quickly get trapped by thick mittens that became tied tightly
around his wrists - rendering his hands useless. They reminded Veemon of
soft boxing gloves, and he knew that if he managed to throw another
attack, it would be harmless. With no fine motor skills to take
advantage of, he now truly felt trapped.
"Go ahead, Veemon! Fight! Wear yourself out. It'll only make this part
much easier..." Myotismon exclaimed - dangling a pocket watch in the air.
Without any hesitation, an Ogremon picked up the diaper and resumed
putting it on Veemon. The Digimon's muffled shouts and the exasperations
of a scuffle provided background noise to the overwhelmingly loud sound
of crinkling and tapes tearing as Veemon continued to get diapered. As
the two Ogremon worked together to wrap the diaper around Veemon,
Myotismon simply watched with a sinister smile on his face - playing
with the pocket watch. Veemon tried so hard to slither from his chair,
but all he managed to do was tire himself out.
"Let me explain to you what is about to happen. I know you're the curious, simple type," Myotismon started.
The two Ogremon quickly pulled Veemon back onto the chair and held him
firmly in place. With his head held steadily to face Myotismon, all
Veemon could do was huff and puff from behind his pacifier angrily. His
eyes glared defiantly at the cackling Myotismon. This wasn't the first
time that the two had met face to face; the last time he'd seen him he
was MaloMyotismon, and he was being shot back to the digital world by
the power of the worlds' digidestined; now he was back, working in the
shadows, about to transform him.
"That spore that's in your brain is going to make you oh so suggestible," Myotismon began.
"And because you're so gullible, you're going to do exactly as I say -
and you won't be able to resist. Even if you try to, you will not
succeed. That little spore is going to make me be able to hypnotize you
down, and when you're in a trance - I'll make you a little baby again! A
baby who very much loves his diapers, and very much hates being a big
boy. When I send you back, you're not going to remember all of this. All
you will remember is how to be the very best baby Digimon a tamer could
ever have" Myotismon explained.
Veemon shook his head, but the villain only chuckled.
"Look boss, he's drooling!" one of the Ogremon teased.
Spit was drooling out of the sides of his mouth and through the
pacifier's spitholes from Veemon's harsh muffle panting. Myotismon
scoffed as if from disgust, and he shook his head.
"You're practically a baby already! You're wearing a big, poofy diaper,
and you're sucking on a big pacifier in that drooly mouth of yours. And
you sure can't use your hands anymore. You'll need us to do everything
for you! See? This shouldn't be too hard," Myotismon teased.
Veemon couldn't help but blush. As angry as he was, he couldn't help but
feel embarrassed by how small he was made to feel, as he was forced
into this treatment. The diaper was so poofy; it made him feel as though
he was sitting up an inch from the chair! It was itchy, hot, and
uncomfortable to him. Worse, the pacifier tasted like rubber and was
awkward to fit in his mouth. He couldn't spit it out and the nipple made
it impossible to properly close his mouth.
"Now look closely and pay attention. This'll all be over soon" Myotismon began.
The two Ogremon held his head still, and the villain began waving the
pocketwatch in place. Veemon was forced to watch, and with his captor
speaking loud and clear - he couldn't help but hear the instructions.
Myotismon began to speak to Veemon slowly and clearly, careful to hold
the swinging pocket watch in front of Veemon. The Digimon instinctively
followed it with his eyes. Worse, even if Veemon closed his eyes, the
sound of Myotismon's voice echoed loudly in his skull. He could feel the
spore in his mind listening closely.
"You are a diaper-boy Digimon. You love your diapers, you want your
diapers, you need your diapers. You want their thickness... you want their
crinkles. All you can think about is how much you want and need your
thick, crinkly diapers; nothing else will do!" Myotismon gleemed into
Veemon's eyes slowly open and watched as they began to haze.
It was almost instantaneous. The spore in his head began to throb as it
heard Myotismon's voice, and it made it nearly impossible to ignore his
instructions. It was as if the villain was speaking not to Veemon, but
to the Digimon's very subconscious. Veemon soon found himself unable to
resist following the pocket watch and being dragged further and further
down. A sinking feeling came over Veemon - a step further down with each
swing of the watch, and with each step down, his captor's voice became
louder and clearer.
"That's it, relax... listen to the words that I speak. Tell me, Veemon, what are you?"
"A... Digimon..." Veemon started. Myotismon looked intently into his eyes
for a moment before something, somewhere in his head clicked. "I'm a...
diaper... boy Digimon?"
"That's right, my little play-thing, you're a diaper-boy Digimon. What
do you like?" Myotismon used his hand to graze Veemon's diaper area.
A warm blanket sensation came over him. No other sound in the room could
be heard in the room now. Was it always this quiet in the room, or
could he only hear the voice now? In fact, it seemed as if he couldn't
even hear himself think anymore; Myotismon's voice was so strong and
powerful that it began to replace the voice in his own head. He was
deeply subdued now, and Myotismon had complete control.
"I like... thick diapers..." Veemon responded dumbly. Veemon began to
grapple with the diaper beneath him, squirming a bit as he made it
crinkle, cooing a little contently. Yes, this was what he wanted, what
he needed. Why was it such a big deal before?
"That's right, little Veemon. You're so little... think back to the
Primary Village, to when you'd just hatched from your Digiegg. Remember
how little you were, how you had no cares or worries, how all you had to
do was wear your nice, crinkly diapers... suck on your pacifier,"
Myotismon added in.
Veemon began to remember... or perhaps it was just the suggestions that
Myotismon was planting in him. The spore was doing its job, allowing the
hypnosis to work its wonders on him in a profound manner. "You would
suckle so softly... so gently... it felt so nice, didn't it? Yes, it did,"
Myotismon concluded.
Veemon seemed to come to the very same conclusion. He suddenly
remembered the soft feelings of the pacifier teat on his tongue, the
gentle caress of the hard-plastic pacifier on his lips; he remembered
exactly how it soothed him. Suddenly, the pacifier in his mouth didn't
seem so bad... not bad at all, actually. The rubbery taste wasn't so bad
once he got used to it; and, come to think of it, it actually fit his
mouth fairly well.
"And how about this diaper between your legs, hm? How do we feel about this big poofy diaper you're wearing?" Veemon heard.
He felt so absent minded, and it seemed now the only word that
interested him was the word "diaper". He instinctively looked down and
wriggled around in the warm, soft, comfortable interior of the thick
padding that supported him. He suddenly felt a giggle escape from him,
and the crinkling seemed so satisfying. He felt so excited now, to be in
the comfort of that diaper - and he could only think to bounce up and
down for Myotismon to express his enthusiasm.
Myotismon grinned. Before him sat an infantile, regressed Veemon,
suckling happily on his pacifier and squirming contently in his thick,
crinkly diaper. His hands and feet were mittened, they may as well of
been nubs. It wasn't like he could use his fingers very well anymore,
anyway. Of course, this was what he was wanting; exactly what he needed.
He needed Veemon out of the way; and now he was!
He was regressed and useless to anyone now, his will was broken. He
would do whatever Myotismon wanted; but Myotismon wanted him to do
nothing more than to be a good diapered Digimon, to suckle through the
days and nights and crinkle as he toddled along. He smirked as the
happily oblivious Veemon idly fidgeted in his seat like the overgrown
toddler he now was.
"Well, it seems that my work here is done, little Veemon. You're nothing
more than a mere infant; I already know who'll be next. But of course
you don't much care, do you?" he waited for a response, but Veemon was
lost in his own little world of diapers and pacifiers.
"Of course not. Now, a quick test..." Myotismon undid the strap of
Veemon's paci gag and quickly plucked the pacifier out of his mouth.
Almost instantaneously, Veemon began to whine... then whimper... then sob,
throwing a fit!
"NO! I WANT MY PACI! MINE!" he cried aloud. Myotismon obliged, shoving the pacifier back into Veemon's mouth.
Surely, Myotismon wasn't evil enough to steal the soothing comfort from the helpless baby Veemon in front of him!
"Of course, little Digimon, of course. One last test, then..." Myotismon
then untaped Veemon's diaper and ripped it off of him. Just as with the
pacifier, Veemon began to whine, whimper and cry about the sudden loss
of plush beneath him! Myotismon cackled, but decided to give into
Veemon's uncontrollable, insatiable urge for padding when he actually
started crying.
This time, he himself repowdered and retaped a fresh, thick diaper onto
the blue vaccine Digimon's waist, concluding his tests. As the light
outside of the office dimmed, he knew that night was falling, and when
the darkness moved, so would he; and he would return the infant Veemon
back to his home to become his tamer's responsibility.
"Take him into the room with the others" Myotismon commanded.
Without a second's hesitation, the two Ogremon scooped up the overgrown
baby Veemon and began to carry him out of the room.. Of course, the
oblivious Digimon simply stared about in amazement at his surroundings;
now all so mysterious to him. Where was he, and where was he going?
Everything seemed so new and exciting, yet so strangely familiar - and
it was this familiarity that made the world around him so intriguing.
As the two Ogremon led him into a room, his eyes widened as he saw so
many other Digimon just like him! A whole room filled with babyish
Digimon - crawling around happily in their diapers, playing with
friends, drinking from baby bottles and sippy cups, and taking naps in
their cribs! It was a whole playroom just for him and friends - some of
which he recognized from a time he could not currently remember. For the
first time in an extremely long time, Veemon felt safe and secure here.
The fear that got him here was now long gone!
Of course, there were ways to break Myotismon's trance, but it would
take time. Veemon's mind was not lost to the regression, but he simply
was left in a different way of thinking. What was there to be afraid of,
anymore? The world was so new and exciting to him. Happiness and
laughter would come easier now. He felt no anxiety or fear any longer,
and his ignorance filled him with bliss. Deep down inside, he knew he
would be soon returning to his tamer as a new and improved Veemon - a
Veemon that could be happy, and carefree like Davis would want. Veemon
couldn't wait to be the good diaper-boy Digimon he was told to be, and
he knew it was only a matter of time until he was home again.
