Digimon: Digital Ponies

Chapter 1: Birth of Greymon: Part 2

The kids were heading towards the beach by the ocean ahead of them on the trail as the phones in the distance kept on ringing. Poor Babydmon was still being squeezed by the still unconscious purple Digimon held in Richard’s arms. The kids all hustled to the beach until they had rounded the corner and off in the distance they saw five phone booths with one of them ringing, which was the closest one to them.

As the group ran towards the phone booths, Joe spoke up with a shout, “I told you! All we needed was a phone. We’re saved!” The group panted for air as they ran for the booths.

They finally reached the phone booths as they slowed down except for Tai and Agumon who sped to the first phone booth. Tai ran towards the phone booth and moved aside the glass door that kept it closed. As he did so the phone just stopped ringing which caused Agumon to ask in curiosity, “Why did it stop ringing Tai?”

Tai looked at the phone confused as he said, “A Wrong number?” He turned to the rest of the group with that look of confusion on his face.

Sora frowned as she said, “Well that’s bizarre.” She folded her arms as she looked at the rest of the children.

Izzy spoke up in his curious way, “My theory is aliens. They’ve set these phone booths out as a trap.”

Matt promptly ignored Izzy’s theory as he added his own opinion, “If we can find a place that delivers let’s order pizza.”

Mimi spoke up in agreement with this idea as she happily said, “Whatever you get, no anchovies for me!”

“I’d rather have a supreme,” Richard said, drooling a bit; and even though he couldn’t see it, so did Shadow.

Sora shook her head at them as she tried to get them back on track, “The question is what are these doing here at the beach?”

Joe had a fist at chest level as he sternly replied, “So people can call their parents for a ride home!”

Gomamon asked both confused and curious, “Parents? What exactly is a parents?” Joe just looked back at him with a deadpan neutral expression.

Joe turned back to the rest of the group with an expression that said he was done with everything at the moment even as he said, “That’s it! I’m out of here.”

Tai stood by the phone booth with a hand placed on the glass sliding door and his other hand out towards the rest of the group. He asked calmly, “Does anybody have any loose change?”

Izzy looked questioningly at Tai as he asked, “Why?”

Tai continued to reply calmly, “Obviously I’m going to make a phone call to get some help.”

Izzy gasped in understanding as he reached towards a pocket, “Ah! You can use my phone card. The aliens can bill me! Here.” He handed the phone card over to Tai who took it from him gently while giving him a bizarre look before shaking his head and stepping into the phone booth.

T.K. looked at them all unsurely as he said, “Maybe there’s a quarter in one of the slots.” And he started to move to one of the other phone booths.

Mimi wasn’t one to be left out as she said out loud to no one in particular. “I’m calling Daddy,” she said as she ran towards one of the other unoccupied phone booths.

As the other kids ran to their respective booths, Richard stayed behind a bit and looked down at his Digimon. “I hope I can get a hold of mom,” he thought as he entered the furthest booth.

Izzy moved past Tai’s booth while saying, “I’m going to hook up to the internet.” Tai was typing in a number at the moment that Izzy walked by him. Matt and Sora both walked past him as well.
Matt seemed to have lost his cool a bit as he walked towards a phone booth as well, “I’m going to call collect.”

Sora was only a little slower than him at walking as she said at the same time as him, “Dibs on booth four.”

Joe also didn’t want to be left out as he walked after them, “Hey guys. Wait for me. Come on.” His bag was bouncing against his side as he tried to keep up with them.

Tai finished punching in the number and held the phone up to his ear and mouth in cupped hands. The phone started to ring as he looked at the main green machine in the booth. He had dialed his home phone and began to speak, “Hello? Hey, Mom, it’s me!”

But the voice at the other end wasn’t his mother at all. It was a female voice that sounded like it came from a synthesizer or a digital computer. It replied to him smoothly, “At the tone, the time will be 49 miles an hour; and ninety seconds.”

Tai was bewildered as he held the phone with both hands and his expression changed to one of confusion. Agumon just looked straight up at him with a frown wondering what was going on. Tai held the phone away from his face as he said in dismay, “Something’s wrong or Mom’s flipped.”

Each of the other children in the phone booths each also got a strange response. Mimi’s reaction was, “Tomorrow’s forecast calls for clear skies with occasional ice cream.” Mimi’s puzzled question was, “What do you wear for that?”

Matt and T.K. looked at the phone in the third booth with disappointment and confusion as another female voice said, “This number only exists in your imagination. Please hang up and don’t call back.” Matt’s bewildered response was, “What planet did I dial?”

Izzy just looked down at his phone with bewilderment yet somewhat smugly as he said, “I’m telling you, it's a twisted alien joke.” Tentomon’s buzzed up into the air as he floated in front of Izzy and the pointed at one of the other phone booths as he replied, “Why don’t you try that one over there?”

Biyomon looked up at Tentomon with a shrug as she said, “I don’t think this one’s any better.”

Sora was holding the phone up to the side of her head as she listened to the buggy, glitched voice tell her, “No phones are working in your service area. Please hang up and have a nice day.” Sora hung the phone up with a huff as she turned around to face away from it with folded arms.

Tai walked on over to her to check on her and see if she had it any better than he did even as she humphed, “huh.” Tai looked at her with concern as he asked, “Any luck?”
Sora scowled as she looked at the ground, “No!”

Tai frown as he continued with concern, “Huh weird. I’ve got a strange feeling about this.” They moved away from the phone booths talking about it even as they passed Richard who had tried to call his mother. Babydmon was floating in the air around him even as Twilight lay on the ground sleeping at his feet. “Mom?” Richard said as a small tone rung from his booth. “At the time, the future is unclear; please try again.” Richard sighed as the third number he tried was another bust.

After a little bit longer, he finally left the booth in defeat. Joe meanwhile was still in the last booth frantically trying to get a number working. When one didn’t work, he would move to the next as he said, “Maybe this one.” One one of them he sighed in disappointment as the voice said, “To leave a message press 1. To leave a fingerprint press 2. 15 dollars for the next 3 minutes.” He sighed but ignored it as he reached for the machine again, “Okay. Next one.”

Tai was sitting on the ground with his legs outstretched as he watched Joe messing around in his phone booth. Agumon was beside Tai and looked at Joe and Gomamon pityingly. In fact, everyone was watching Joe frantically try to get a number that worked.

Finally, Izzy spoke up with curiosity, ‘Very curious. Does Joe always behave like this?”

Tai sighed as he continued to watch Joe, “Every single day.” He went silent after that as he just watched with pity.

Matt spoke right after Tai exasperated, “No matter what number or how many times he dials those phones aren’t going to work.”

Tai started to get up as he told everybody, “Well I’m going to keep searching for a boat or something.” Mat scowled at him as he said, “Hey wait a minute. Even though we can’t call out of here, there’s still a chance that somebody will be able to call us.”

Tai turned to him with a raised eyebrow in disbelief as he replied, “It's a waste of time doing nothing but sitting here.”

Matt put both hands in his pockets as he glared back at Tai. He argumentatively said, “I’m going to stay here for a little while and see if anyone calls. Besides, everyone could use a little rest.”

Tai looked at the rest of the group after turning away from Matt. Mimi had her knees curled up to her head as T.K. was plopped on the ground exhausted. Their Digimon partners were next to them looking equally tired.

Izzy looked at Tai as his stomach rumbled, “And I’m getting pretty hungry too.” Tai tilted his head a bit as he asked, “Do you know why? Because we haven’t eaten anything all day.” He pondered for a moment before saying more happily, “Okay everybody. Break time.”

Sora was also sitting down with her knees more towards her chest, and Biyomon plopped down beside her. She looked up at the other three in relief as she asked, “Does anybody else have any food? I think the only thing I have is…” And she trailed off as she reached for her pocket. Her hand closed around the digivice that was attached to the outside of it. She picked up where she left off, “Is that gadget that fell out of the sky at camp.”

Tai reached to his waist and pulled his digivice off his belt as he said, “Man. I forgot all about those weird gizmos.”

Mimi held the strap of her bag with both hands as she pulled it forwards. She looked over her shoulder at the back of the belt down near her purse where her digivice was. She spoke in a complaining tone, “If anyone has a pink one I’ll trade.”

T.K. asked curiously, “What are they anyway?” Matt stood by his younger brother as he spoke his own opinion, “We wouldn’t have them if they weren’t important.”

Izzy also looked down at his digivice curiously as he spoke his thoughts out loud, “If I could take mine apart….” And at that exact moment his stomach rumbled as he looked embarrassed, “Um that is after I get something to eat. I’m really famished.”

Sora rooted around in the pink hip bag at her waist with both hands while Biyomon watched her silently like a hawk. Sora sighed as she said, “Well the only thing I’ve got is my emergency supplies. It's got a first aid kit, some bandages, and some medicine but that’s about all I got.”

Izzy knelt down in the sand as he set his laptop down and opened it up even as he said, “And I’ve got my trusty laptop computer and a digital camera.” As an afterthought, he added, “Oh and I’ve got a small cellphone too.” He always kept his laptop in his green backpack when he wasn’t using it. The pack was actually underneath the computer so that it didn’t get any sand in it.

He sighed as he looked down at his laptop and continued, “Of course not one of them’s worked since we got here.”

Tai crouched down beside him as he replied in disbelief, “I can’t believe you dragged all that computer stuff to summer camp.”

Izzy turned to him as he asked annoyed, “And what do you have?”

Tai pointed his thumb at himself as he replied, “Uh. Let’s see.” He reached behind himself with a hand and into his pockets as he rooted around with it. He pulled an object out and held it up, “There’s my mini telescope.”

Matt shook his head as he said, “Sorry. But I don’t have anything to eat either.”

Tai looked at Richard, “Do you have anything Richard?” He hoped that maybe he’d have something to eat.

Tai looked incredulous when he saw Richard eating a snickers before his stomach grumbled and what he saw wasn’t food but just the weird second device that Richard had. “I only have my cell phone, and detective novels,” Richard said as he pulled out a few objects. The was a cellphone, laptop, a few books, and a strange looking keychain that had a purple starburst on it.

Seeing the keychain, Tai had to ask, “Why do you have a keychain with you?”

Richard picked it up and blushed a bit when he saw it. “It was my mom’s idea. Said it was a good luck charm that she had when she was a kid, though strangely she also said that ‘when the world is at it bleakest, call on the twilight.’ she’s into a lot of superstitions,” Richard said as he put the stuff back in his bag before resuming his examination of the device.

Tai sighed as he nodded, “A little wacky I have to say, but that still doesn’t help us overall.”

T.K. finally spoke up beside Matt, “Hey look what I’ve got.” He stood up and set his backpack on the ground as he continued, “Check it out.” He flipped the top of his backpack up to show that it was stuffed full of all sorts of snacks and food.

Mimi gasped, “Wow. Look at all those goodies. Why don’t you be a good little boy and share those treats with your sweet Mimi?” She asked, smiling happily as she gazed down at T.K.

T.K. was smiling himself happily as he replied, “Ah You don’t have to be so nice Mimi. I’m happy to share. You’re the best.” He turned his head to the others as he asked, “Isn’t she cute?”

Matt looked at him in disbelief and with a bit of a scowl as he replied, “Forget it.”

Tai whispered to Izzy, “I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.” Izzy sighed in reply, “I would settle for a small cow.” little did either of the two notice a small, sleeping Digimon's ears twitch at that.

Sora smiled a bit as she shook her head and turned to Mimi, “Mimi what’ve you got in that big bag? and makeup?”

Mimi looked up in thought for a few seconds, “uh. Well, let’s take a look.” She flipped off the top of the bag and rooted around in it before pulling objects out. She set various objects down onto the ground like a few makeup items, a set of camping silverware and a camping tin that served to hold food in it when it was cooked. Then she started talking, “Well here’s a compass and cooking fuel, flashlight, one of those knives with all the things and some other stuff.” All the kids gasped in wonder and amazement as they looked at her.

Matt asked in disbelief, “Why didn’t you tell us you had a compass back when we needed one?”

Mimi just smiled up at them as she replied happily, “I thought it’d be kinda fun to see how far we could get without one? And besides its broken.”

Tai sighed, “Well so much for finding our way out of here.”

Matt hummed in thought for a moment as he looked at the objects Mimi had placed on the ground. “Although, we could use the cooking fuel to make a signal fire.”

Sora nodded, “That’s true. Or I guess we could barbecue some telephones.”

Tai turned to the rest of them as he looked back at Joe, “Oh boy. Check out the genius. See he’s trying to call the telephone repairman cause the telephones don’t work. Problem is… Look!” He pointed at Joe’s bag which was gray with a big red cross stitched on the flap over the top of it.

He gasped and said, “Joe’s got the emergency supplies.” Everyone gasped yet again in disbelief as Izzy turned to look, “What?! No way!”

Tai called out hurriedly and loudly at Joe, “Joe, Hey Joe! Look you’ve got all the food.”

Joe turned his head away from the phone while holding it as he replied, “Hey don’t you know it's rude to interrupt someone when they’re on the telephone?”

Izzy protested, “But that bag….”

Joe frowned, “This? I just bought it to give to Mimi. Today was her day to carry the bag.”

Palmon finally spoke up beside Mimi, “I think he likes ya.”

Mimi shook her head emphatically, “No way.”

Joe stumbled on over to the group as he held the bag in both hands, “Ugh. Mimi, you have got to stop thinking of yourself and do something to help somebody else for once. Take a little responsibility!”

Mimi whined at him, “But that bag’s to heavy for me.”

Joe scowled, “Listen. You never hear me complaining.”

Richard just rolled his eyes at Joe’s comment while holding back Shadow’s snickers.

Tai came over to stop their arguing as he waved his hands. He said in a peaceful tone, “Guys, guys. The most important thing now is that we’ve got some food to eat. So let’s sit down and have some lunch.” Sora nodded her head along with Tai’s answer.

Gomamon floated in the ocean water on his back happily as the others sat around in a circle on the sand. Joe knelt down above the ground as he said, “Alright let’s figure this out. There are eight people in the group times three days. Times three meals that come too….” He trailed off as he tried to figure out the problem.

Izzy spoke up immediately, “72 meals.”

Joe nodded as he looked at Izzy, “Alright so...split evenly between us we have um…”

Izzy sighed as he replied, “Enough food for three days.”

Joe responded immediately, “Right. Oh exactly. I guess you already knew that.”

Sora spoke up with a valid point, “But you guys you forgot to add in the Digimon meaning we only have enough for about half an hour.”

Joe scratched his head with a wince, “Oh right….”

Gabumon smiled as he replied, “Not a problem at all. We Digimon hunt and forage for ourselves.”

Everyone asked simultaneously, “You do?”

Tentomon nodded, “No need to include us in your calculations.”

Sora turned to her partner concerned, “You sure Biyomon?”

Biyomon smiled, “Oh absolutely. We can do alright for ourselves.”

Joe started smiling happily again as he looked at the others, “Ok. Now that that’s taken care of. Let’s go ahead and divide this between the eight people here.” Unknown to them all Tai was already off to the side with Agumon chomping away on some food as he grinned, “This is great. I could eat a dozen of these.” Agumon nodded his head as he ate some of the food himself. Joe turned to them with a scowl.

“Just what do you think you’re doing?” He growled.

Shadow the Babydmon looked at Tai and Agumon with a frown as he floated by his partner. He was drooling a bit and looked disappointed, “That’s just not fair,” he whined, before drifting over and battling Agumon for the piece of food in his claws.

Tai turned to face Joe with a resigned look on his face as he said sarcastically, “I’m glad we never hear you complaining.”

Joe growled, “You people make me crazy!”

Richard was watching the scene with some amusement before he felt the strange Digimon start to stir.

Twilight moaned as she felt herself return to the waking world, though was still a bit dazed thanks to the blow to the head. “Spike. Remind me never to have a cider drinking contest with Rainbow Dash again,” she said in a slur, before blinking her eyes and having the memories of the past twelve hours returning to her. “Oh. it wasn’t just a drunken fever dream,” she said with a little less cheer.

Babydmon had finally wrestled the food away from Agumon and floated back over towards Richard and Twilight as he held the food in his mouth carefully with a smile. He came back over and set a bit of it down in front of Twilight and put a bit in Richard’s hand. The last bit he kept for himself to eat as he munched away at it. He was happy to have won the little fight and even more happy to see the strange Digimon was awake.

He moved down to the ground as he waved a wing at her, “Hiya. I’m Shadow the Babydmon. Who are you?”

Twilight was a little shocked that the creatures she had seen earlier were real, though she quickly overcame that. “I’m Twilight Sparkle…” Twilight trailed off as she once again saw the same paws that she had the first time, though thankfully for the rest of the group she didn’t start screaming again. “Why do I look like this?” she asked as she looked over her paws as if they were entirely new; which, in a way, is correct.

Shadow blinked and frowned in confusion, “What are you talking about? Your a Digimon just like I am. Albeit a different kind but still a Digimon. And what kind of name is Twilight Sparkle? That doesn’t seem like a real Digimon name. You sure it isn’t Sparklemon or something like that?” he asked. What she said next, however, made him concerned.

“Digimon? What’s a ‘Digimon?’ and why do you think I am one. Cause I know I’m not one,” she asked as her speech started getting faster and faster as questions poured out without a stopper.

Shadow’s frown increased as he watched her speaking rapidly before shaking his head and finally spoke firmly, “Stop. All the quick questions are giving me a headache, and I can’t understand them. And you're a Digimon just like me. You should know that it stands for a Digital monster. And I think you’re one because you are one. You digivolve just like the rest of us or close to it anyway. You look like a mutated version of a Kudamon at the moment.” He finished calmly.

Before Babydmon could get another answer from ‘Twilight; Gomamon out in the ocean tensed up as well as Twilight.

A growling could be heard both under the water and above it as it sounded like someone gargling salt water. The kids were all unaware of it, but Biyomon turned her heat to look out towards the ocean as she had caught the tail end of the sound. She looked determined as she stood up and glared out at sea.

Sora turned to look at her in concern as she asked, “Now what is it?”

Biyomon replied firmly, “Trouble.” The kids all looked up in surprise and concern as they looked out towards the ocean.

From under the sand in the beach itself, a massive spout of water sprung into the air. All the kids stood up in fear and surprise as they backed up. The waterspout moved and crashed into each of the phone booths, sending them flying. The kids ran away from the water spouts and flying phone booths while leaving their bags and food behind. They didn’t want to get hit and crushed after all. The water spot died down and disappeared.

The kids ran for a little distance before stopping, and Tai asked, “What was that?”

The phone booths hit the ground and crumbled into pieces as glass shattered. At the same time, a mound of sand started rising from the field. Finally, a giant spiked shell rose from the ground as the sand burst apart into a flurry.

Tentomon hovered in the air near Izzy while saying, “Shellmon!” Izzy backed up as he looked scared and frantically asked, “What’s a Shellmon?”

Tentomon replied just as frantically, “Something that gets mad for no reason.”

The top of the shell, which had been spinning like a drill slowly, stopped and the main body of Shellmon appeared out from the shell. Its two front legs underneath its dinosaurian head which had a bunch of green squiggly tentacle hair on top for some reason. And boy did that thing look angry. It roared into the air as it finished pulling itself out of its shell.

Joe complained once again as he watched the thing in fear, “Attacked by two digital monsters in the same day. And doesn’t Shellmon know I’m allergic to shellfish?” Joe turned around to the cliff and started to climb even as the Shellmon started pulling itself towards them with ground pounding steps. Its shell dragged behind it as Joe yelled, “Everyone up here.”

The Shellmon lowered its head as it glared at them with its eyes and the waterspout shot out the top of its head from the green squiggly hair. It ran up against the rather small cliffs and slammed into Joe making him let go with a cry of pain and fear as he lost his grip and fell. Gomamon cried out in terror, “Joe!” before he got hit in the face with the water spout.

The waterspout stopped for a moment as the Shellmon repositioned itself while glaring at them. Agumon growled, “Digimon attack!” The ones still up and able to move, nodded and followed along behind him.

They all charged towards the Shellmon as Tai yelled, “Agumon, You show him!”

Agumon’s mouth lit up with fire as he shouted, “Pepper Breath.” The fireball shot from his mouth towards the Shellmon. It slammed into the Shellmon’s chin making him flinch and turn his head from the impact. Gabumon was next as he yelled, “Blue Blaster!” The thin stream of blue flame was streaking from his mouth towards Shellmon. But sadly it died before it could do anything. Gabumon was just too tired to do anything. The same went for Biyomon who tried to use Spiral Twister only for it to short out and for Tentomon with his Super Shocker.

Izzy asked in fear, “What’s happening to them?” Twilight was still too weak to help as she looked at the other Digimon battling the monster. And Shadow was too small and thin to help the other rookie Digimon fight it as well as he floated by his partner.

Matt stammered, “They look like they’ve lost their powers.”

The Shellmon lowered his head again, and the water spout started up again. It moved its head, and the waterspout hit the four Digimon as it moved its head. They cried out in pain as they were pushed away by the flat water.

Tai cried out, “Agumon!” only to watch as Agumon got back up determinedly and headed towards the Shellmon again. Patamon tried to help out with Boom Bubble but it too failed, and he got whacked out of the air by one of Shellmon tentacle hair things.

Palmon stood only a few feet away from the Shellmon as she raised her arms and tried to use Poison Ivy to fail and asked herself, “Huh. What happened?” Shellmon rammed its head sideways into her and sent her flying away.

Agumon fired yet another Pepper Breath, and it had the same effect as the last one as it slammed into Shellmon’s face. Twilight and Shadow both were feeling better as they had eaten the bit of food that Shadow had brought over for them. Shadow wanted to protect his partner and was about ready to dash in regardless of being an in-training form.

Tai cheered, “Go get him Agumon!” he was standing in front of the other kids looking determined as he saluted his partner on.

Izzy was dismayed at the way Tentomon had been knocked out and looked back at the Shellmon as he asked, “Why is it only Agumon?”

Tentomon stirred beside him hurting from the pain but also from hunger as he replied, “We’re just too hungry.” Izzy turned to him in confusion as he said, “Wha?”

Matt was right beside his partner holding onto him as he said, “Gabumon.”

Gabumon looked up at him weakly as he replied, “I just don’t have any strength.”
Sora stood up holding her injured partner as the idea sparked in her head, “That’s it. Agumon’s the only one who had anything to eat besides Babydmon and that other Digimon partner of Richard’s.”

Izzy frowned as it made sense, “I see.” He held Tentomon with his hands.

Matt said in dismay, “Then the other Digimon don’t have enough strength left to fight except those three. And the other two still seem too tired to do much.”

Tai turned to Agumon as he shouted, “Agumon, It looks like it's just you and me.”

Agumon nodded back as he replied, “Then give me a diversion!”

Tai ran towards the Shellmon shouting, “Hey Shellmon, Ugly, over here!” And he ran along the side of the Shellmon as it turned his head to track him and watch him.

As this happened Shadow, the Babydmon moved in as fast as his tiny wings would carry him and flew above the Shellmon where he let out his small attack which was a little fireball that caused him to go flying backward. The Shellmon growled in annoyance at the tiny fireball that didn’t hurt him as he glared up at the minuscule Digimon.

Sora cried out to the both of them, “No don’t!”

As the Shellmon focused on both Babydmon and Tai, Agumon fired off another Pepper Breath attack. The fireball hit the Shellmon in the side of the face causing him to flinch in pain. Tai ran over to one of the shattered phone booths and picked up a metal pole even as Shadow fired another of his tiny fireballs as another distraction. Tai picked up the pole while saying, “This will work.” he said as he ran back over towards the Shellmon with the metal pole.

He knocked the pole against the Shellmon’s actual shell as he emphasized each word with a jab, “How! Do! You! Like! That!” But after that the Shellmon finally got fed up with the constant distractions; its green tentacle hair grabbed hold of Tai and lifted him off the ground. Another strand of it had lashed out and knocked Babydmon out of the air to land in the dirt, rolling for a couple of feet before stopping with a groan of pain and his body shaking. Richard had just started running towards the Shellmon to help when he saw his partner go down and hurting badly. He yelled, “Babydmon no!”

Agumon watched as his partner was caught and he yelled out, “Hang on Tai!”

Shellmon was growling again as he swung his head around and lifted a massive foot which caused Agumon to start running away. Sadly he wasn’t fast enough, and the foot came crashing down on him and left only his head sticking out from under the paw. The Shellmon then fired the water spout from its head again and hit all the kids and Digimon in a line, minus Twilight who had been just a little lower than the stream of water.

The waterspout knocked the kids onto the ground and further hurt the rookie Digimon who was beside them. Richard was slammed to the ground near the cliffs as Shadow was sent flying into the cliffs themselves making him let out a squeak of pain. He slid down the cliff side to the ground as his form shivered and blurred showing just how damaged he was. His data close to breaking apart from all the significant damage he’d taken. Tai watched what happened and yelled in pain and frustration, “Look out! He’s going to get everyone. And there’s nothing I can do,” He cried out in pain as he was squeezed harder.

Agumon cried out, “Tai. No!” And suddenly Tai’s digivice started to glow brightly.

When Twilight saw Babydmon slam into the cliff, while also seeing Richard get knocked out, something in her snapped. Izzy had been the closest to Richard as he saw the glow on the outside looking digivice.

Agumon yelled out, “Digivolve!” And the digivice sent up a beam of light into the sky. It shot into the air and created the dark storm cloud only for the rainbow light to come down and envelop him and create a dark cloud around him that was filled with shining light as the stormcloud disappeared. Music started to play out of nowhere as the change happened.

Digital data came down from over Agumon’s head and flowed down into him as he spun around quickly and said, “Agumon digivolve too…..” he finished spinning around quickly, and a new form took its place. One that was larger and looked more like an armored tyrannosaurus. “Greymon!”

During the digivolution, Tai asked, “What’s going on?”

When Twilight shouted “Harmonize!” in sync with Agumon, something happened. The rainbow lights, all six of them, merge into the same data stream the was digivolving Agumon. “Twilight Harmonize with…” with those words shouted, the rainbow merged data started to flow into Twilight, surrounding her in a bright glowing orb. When the orb burst a few seconds later, it was revealed that Twilight jumped digivolution lines yet again, though this time she jumped to a champion line. “GeoGreymon!” she shouted. The difference between her and regular Greymon is that she had far fewer stripes as there were two on each leg and three on her back. And four on her tail with two on the back of her neck and they were all colored pink. Further, she had a spike growing from either shoulder with pink tips and the stripes on the top of her bone covered head were purple colored. Other than that she was the same purple color as she had been before the digivolving. One other thing to note was the horns were curved a bit, with the center horn resembling what her horn looked like as a Kudamon, along with the tattered wings that looked like they couldn’t even kick up a breeze.

In other words, Twilight’s wings looked a lot like Metal Greymon’s tattered wings which seemed rather odd on a champion level Digimon. After Agumon had finished digivolving into Greymon, his new form pushed Shellmon up and back which released Tai. Tai went flying and tumbled across the ground only to watch as Greymon roared in pleasure at his form. He was also surprised when he heard Twilight roar in just the same way, at precisely the same time; even more strangely, both of the two Digimon were moving in sync with each other, as if they were the same while also being separated.

Tai watched the both of them in awe as he said, “Whoa. They did it again. Agumon’s now Greymon, and that purple Digimon is now GeoGreymon! And they seem to be moving in sync.”

Greymon and Twilight both growled in pleasure and chuckled a bit as they faced the Shellmon who set himself back upright and glared at the both of them. Babydmon had finally managed to get back up and winced at his fizzing form. There was only one way, and he had to do it quickly as he looked back at his unconscious partner. He whispered, “Forgive me!” He turned to the sky and yelled, “Digivolve!”

Richard’s regular digivice glowed as it sent up the white light which came back down on him as rainbow-colored light. He yelled, “Babydmon digivolve too…..” He swirled around in the black cloud, and his form changed, “Dracomon!” He burst out of the black cloud now bigger and firmer. The digivolution had reinforced his data although he was still injured but not as bad as before. He was no longer in danger of being deleted.

Sadly, his digivolve only last long enough to stabilize him before the energy he gained from the food ran out, thankfully, however, when he slipped back into unconsciousness, his rookie form stayed, though with a small change. One that you wouldn’t think was a change unless you knew what it looked like beforehand. The horns and wings both had a pink and purple stripe, as well as a lavender tip on his horns. The rest of him was, of course, colored black except his belly which was a stark white to his black. His horns were the color of polished ivory, and so were his wings.

Twilight and Greymon faced off against the Shellmon as it charged towards them and tried to ram them. Only for them each to grab a side of it while growling at the effort of holding it back.

Tai yelled out, “Now you’re getting them! Go Greymon and GeoGreymon!”

They both pushed back against the Shellmon and pushed it back a bit before the Shellmon fired its waterspout again which they both dodged by moving their bodies and heads a bit. Fire welled up in their mouths as they glared at the Digimon. They both let out streams of fire that clashed against the water spout and instantly turned the water into steam that floated on either side of them.

The Shellmon’s waterspout eventually ran out, and Greymon took the opportunity to rush forward and get his horns under the Shellmon. He lifted his body and headed up into the air which ended up launching the Shellmon far into the air in an arc. As this happened, he stepped back and readied an attack.

“Digi Nova Blast!” Greymon yelled as a massive fireball launched from his mouth up at the Shellmon.
“Harmonic Nova Blast!” Twilight shouted in time with Greymon’s as a rainbow fireball launched from her mouth. The two attacks merged into one and hit the Shellmon, sending him flying far out towards the ocean.

The Shellmon hit the water far into the distance with a giant splash that everyone could see. Greymon watched it splash down before he let out a sigh of exhaustion and glowed yellow as his data was released. He shifted back down into his rookie form Agumon as Twilight’s data released as well and she changed back to Kudamon. Twilight pulled herself over to the now bigger Dracomon and the now conscious Richard only to drape herself exhausted between Dracomon’s horns.

Richard nodded to Twilight for a job well done as Tai raced over to his partner yelling, “What? Agumon!” Tai skidded to a stop next to his partner as he asked, “Are you alright? You poor little guy. Agumon.”

Agumon called up to him weakly. “Tai….Tai. Do you have anything to eat?” He said causing Tai to chuckle weakly in relief now that his partner was safe and the danger was over.

Later Gomamon was watching Joe from the ocean as Joe frantically held the phone of one of the machines buried in the sand as he said frantically, “Hello? Come on. I know you're there. Operator! Operator!”

Tai and the other kids were gathered together in a group as Tai said, “There’s no reason to stay here now.”

Mat nodded in agreement as he said, “Who wants to break the bad news to Joe?”

All the Digimon were busy scarfing down the food that the kids had given to them. Shadow was quite pleased with finally being in rookie form and being able to eat alongside a group of friendly Digimon; Although Twilight kept on questioning him about his wings and horns for some reason. He finally looked up at Twilight who was nibbling on some food as he said, “I don’t know why they’re like that. I don’t know how many times I have to say that. What possible significance could there be to that?”

Twilight sighed as she realized that she wasn’t getting any further in trying to understand this strange world she found herself in. It took awhile, but Twilight managed to convince the others that she wasn’t a Digimon, had never been a Digimon, nor had ever seen a Digimon before. It was thanks to Tentomon that the others believed her, along with Izzy’s help.

Sora knelt down by the Digimon and said, “If you want some more just say so!”

Izzy made an excellent point to the other children as they continued to talk, “Shellmon wasn’t destroyed. He was just temporarily removed. We should pack up and leave before he decides to come back for round 2.”

Matt agreed with him as he said, “Good idea.”

Joe spoke up a little distance from the others, “In that case, we should go back to the forest. Because if anybody is looking for us, that’s the place they’ll go.”

Sora sighed as she looked at Joe, “Joe I’ve said this before. We fell off a cliff and floated down a river to get here. And getting back there is a really big job.”

Mimi turned her attention away from the Digimon as she heard the last comment as she whined, “And we could run into Kuwagamon.”

Izzy sighed as well as he looked at them, “Now listen. Logically speaking, if there are telephones here, there must be people to use them. So I think it makes good sense to try and find those people.”

Joe blinked at the logic as he replied, “That makes sense,” And Sora agreed with,” It certainly does.”

Tai grinned as he put his fist in his palm, “Then let’s all get going!”

Agumon was grinning happily as he came over and said, “Anywhere you want to go, I’ll go Tai. You just pick the direction.”

Tai smiled as he said, “Then let’s get out of this place.”

Mat spoke up beside him, “Then let the monsters beware.”

Joe still looked quite worried but nodded his head in confirmation and said, “Well my plan is to avoid all monsters. Yup, that’s my plan.”

Tai set his foot on the ground and started walking as he yelled, “Alright here we go!”

All the kids cheered behind him as they yelled, “Digimon!” And so they set off down the beach to get out of the area.

Twilight, Richard, and Shadow all cheered right after with, “Yay!” And they all continued down the beach.

Author's Note

Hello everyone. I hope you like this. It took some time to do but its finally done. And I've gone back and checked all the digimon names and they are the correct ones. They are the spellings form the english dub anime. So they are all correct. But please let me know below what you think of the chapter.
