Digimon Adventure: Storm Warning
Chapter 2 Storm Front
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe find our group walking down a trail in the digital forest. Zipp walked next to Guilmon. While Snow Walked with Betamon. Zipp was not sure how she should feel about this. Yesterday, she woke up in a strange new world. Next to a cute creature called Gigimon. Fought something called a Reaper. And met a unicorn that could rival Izzy. Guilmon noticed that his partner was stressed. He placed a gentle claw on her back; he saw her jump before she looked at him. He looked at her with caring eyes.
He asked her. “Are you okay?”
Zipp wanted to say yes. But, as she looked into his eyes. She knew that he would see that she was lying. Instead, she sighed heavily and answered. “Honestly, Guilmon. No, I'm not okay.”
He asked her. “What's wrong?”
She answered. “At the moment, everything.” She then stopped causing him also to stop. She continued. “Yesterday, I woke up next to you. I got into a fight with something I'd never seen before. Meet a unicorn I've never met before. And, now I'm walking with all of you to who knows where.” She paused a moment to gather her thoughts. She was on the verge of yelling—something she had only done whenever she would get in a fight with her sister.
She gasped as she suddenly remembered her family and friends. Were they looking for her? Did they know she was missing? She vaguely remembered doing something at their home in Maretime Bay. But, the memory kept escaping her. She felt her body shake, causing her to look up. Guilmon now stood in front of her. He looked worried.
He said her name. “Zipp.”
She replied. “Yes?”
He then asked her. “Do you need a hug?”
She nodded before she felt his arms wrap around her. She wrapped her hooves around him in return. His touch was gentle and caring. It made her smile as she remembered the hugs she got from her friends and family. When he let her go, she looked at him and smiled. At the same time, he smiled back at her.
Snow spoke. “Digimon are amazing friends, aren't they.” They looked at her; she was smiling at them. So was Betamon. She walked up to Zipp and held out her hoof. She pulled her up while saying. “They always know what to do whenever their partner feels down.” She then looked at Guilmon and gently rubbed his head. She heard him giggle a little, causing her to smile. She looked back at Zipp and said. “Come on. Storm-front isn't too far away.”
Both of them nodded and continued to follow them. As they walked, they saw other Digimon that lived in the forest. Zipp was amazed by how some of them looked and acted. Sunny would probably be having a field day right now. She shook her immediately after that thought. She didn't need to depress herself again. She had to focus on getting home; hopefully, Snow Storm and her partner could help.
Snow hummed a gentle tune as their small group made their way home. Her partner hummed the song with her. Guilmon was confused; what were they doing? He looked at Zipp and gently tapped her shoulder. She looked at him, watching as he motioned towards the other two. She looked and noticed they were humming some random song. She didn't know what the song was. But, by the way, the two were moving. It had to be their favorite. She looked back at her partner, who just wanted to know what they were doing. She smiled at him before humming the song she and her friends sang with Izzy. Guilmon turned his head slightly in confusion. Why was Zipp making those sounds? Zipp laughed before she stopped and faced him.
She then said. “Like this.” She hummed a few words before instructing him. “Now you try. Just keep your mouth closed and hum.”
Guilmon nodded before he let out a loud growl. Snow and Betamon jumped at the sound. Zipp was laughing at their reactions. Guilmon then let out another loud growl. Followed by two small growls.
Zipp stopped him. “No, Guilmon.” She laughed a little before showing him again. “Like this.” She then hummed again.
Guilmon nodded and tried again. This time, he released a soft growl. Although it wasn't humming, it was better than him sounding like a revving engine. She nodded and then hummed again. This time she hummed with a tune. He mimicked her by growling softly with her. Snow and Betamon slowed their pace and walked beside them. Soon the whole group was humming-growling in Guilmon's case.- the same tune.
Snow announced happily. “And here we are.”
She pointed her hoof towards a huge waterfall. Its roaring falls, drowning out most of her voice. Zipp was confused; did the two live here near this waterfall? If she was going to be honest, the location was good for fishing. But, the sound from the falls almost drowned out any other sound. They wouldn't be able to hear anything coming at them. She looked at Snow, who just smiled before motioning for both of them to follow. Both she and her partner then walked right through the falls. Zipp and Guilmon looked at each other with unsure looks. Cautiously they approached the falls. Stopping just in front of the water. Carefully, Zipp stepped through the water. The only different thing was that she didn't feel any water on her. It felt like she was passing through a curtain. She continued to pass through. And on the other side of the waterfall was a massive cave. She stared at it in awe; while Guilmon stepped through.
Snow smiled at them before speaking. “Pretty neat, huh?”
a new voice suddenly rang out. “SNOW!”
The unicorn's face became laced with fear as she turned around. She waved her forehooves in the air while screaming. “NO! NO! NO!”
A large dog then tackled her. Betamon laughed as Labramon gave his partner a tongue bath. Snow laughed as she tried to push her friend off. She whined and barked happily as she continued to lick her.
Labramon spoke. “I MISSED YOU! WEALLMISSEDYOU! BOTHOFYOUWEREGONEFORSOLONG!” She said quickly and loudly before she looked at Betamon. She yelled, “BETAMON!”
Betamon yelled out as she suddenly tackled him. He was laughing as a series of happy licks assaulted his face. Labramon couldn't help herself. She always worried about her friends whenever they went out. After all, the Reapers were after them. And, there were more virus-type Digimon than usual.
When she saw the other two, she gasped before shouting. “New friends!” She jumped off Betamon and ran towards them. Stopping in front of them, her tail wagging. She spoke. “Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Labramon! I know we just met, but I love you both! Wanna be friends!” She stared at them happily.
Before the two could say anything, a voice called from inside the cave. “Labramon!” The voice belonged to a mare earth pony. Her fur was blue, and her mane and tail were white. She ran right up to Labramon. Who just smiled at her. The mare scolded her.“What have I told you about doing that!”
Labramon laughed before she replied. “To never run off it could be dangerous.” She looked back at the others and said. “But, they're not dangerous. They are friends.”
The mare looked up at the two. She sighed in defeat, knowing she couldn't stay mad at her partner. She smiled at the two and spoke. “Hey, sorry for hyper greeting. Labramon loves making friends.” She giggled before introducing herself. “My name is Ice Storm. What's your name?”
Zipp smiled as she introduced herself. “Nice to meet you, Ice Storm. My name is Zipp Storm.”
Guilmon introduced himself. “Hi, my name is Guilmon.”
Labramon commented. “I like them.”
Ice deadpanned before saying. “You like everyone, Labramon.”
She looked at her and confirmed. “I know.” She then pounced on her partner. “But, I love you!” She then started to lick Ice. While she tried to push her off.
Ice yelled. “Ah! Labramon, stop! That tickles!” She started to laugh uncontrollably as her partner continued her assault.
The group shared a laugh, and after a little while, Snow led them further into the cave. The group soon reached a large hollow. Inside it was a series of computers and all types of gear. Zipp and Guilmon were impressed. At one of the computers, a mare pegasus sat. Standing beside her was a creature that looked like a jellyfish out of water.
Snow looked at her and yelled. “Hey, Dust Storm! We're back!”
The jellyfish Digimon smiled before it flew over to where they were. It hugged both her and Betamon. It nuzzled both of them; while also purring loudly. Both she and Betamon returned the hug.
Snow said happily. “Nice to see you again, Keramon.”
Keramon smiled before looking at the other two. He grew curious and walked closer to them. He looked at Guilmon, turning his head in curiosity. Guilmon mimicked his action. Keramon then smiled happily before nuzzling him. Guilmon smiled back and hugged him back. It then looked over at Zipp and floated in front of her.
A nervous smile stretched across her face before she greeted him. “Uh, hi.”
Dust then spoke. “Forgive, Keramon! He's more action than talk.” She looked up from the computer and said. “Keramon, get back here.”
Keramon squeaked happily before flying back over to her. She smiled before rubbing his head. He purred happily before floating up and landing on her back. His many tendrils wrapped around her as he snuggled into his favorite spot on her back. She shook her head while sighing,
She commented. “You are too cute sometimes.” She heard him purr before he fell into a peaceful sleep.
Snow called to Dust. “Dust, get over here! We got another Digidestined!”
Dust nodded and walked over to where they were. She smiled at the two before introducing herself. “Hey, nice to meet you two. I'm Dust Storm.”
Zipp replied. “Hey, I'm Zipp Storm.”
Dust chuckled. “Got another Storm.” She shook her head before continuing. “Well, Welcome to Storm-front.”
Zipp was about to ask, but Ice beat her to it. “We call it that cause it used to be the three of us leading this good fight.”
Zipp asked her. “Against the Reapers, right?”
She nodded before asking. “Ran into Worm, didn't you?” She watched her nod before she added. “Don't worry. We've already got him on his heels. But, I will apologize for leading him to you.”
Zipp replied. “Wait, what?!”
Snow explained. “We tracked your entry into the Digital World a few days ago. At the time, we didn't know Worm had a Digimon spying on us. He tried to get to you. But, thankfully, I was able to beat him to you.” She smiled.
Ice then walked up to Zipp and spoke. “Zipp, I know this is a lot to ask right now. But, we could use your help. “She looked at Guilmon and added, “Yours too, Guilmon.”
Zipp asked. “Why us?”
The three answered by holding up their Digivices. Zipp held hers up too. It was then all four of them started glowing brightly. Shocking the group as the light shot towards the roof of the cave. The light began to form into words that floated in the air above them.
Dust read them. “Northwest. Near the burning river and the mountains that have reawakened.” She perked up before she ran back to the computer.
Ice commented. “Great, here we go again.”
Both her and Snow made their way over to Dust. Their Digimon followed close behind them. Zipp looked at Guilmon, who looked back at her. She shrugged before they followed them. Dust had a map of the Digital World pulled up. She quickly typed in some coordinates and soon had another region pulled up. It was a barren wasteland filled with countless volcanoes and rivers of lava.
Snow asked her. “Are you sure, Lava Village?”
Dust nodded before answering. “Positive. That area came back online last week. No, doubt that's where the next power siphon is. And if we destroy it.”
Ice finished. “Worm's done for, and Nature Level will finally be free.”
Dust added. “Yes!”
She then sent the info to their Digivices. Both Snow and Ice nodded before they headed for the entrance of the cave. Zipp watched as they left. She looked at Dust, who turned and looked at her. She then returned to the computer and sent the information to her Digivice. Zipp looked at it and then to Guilmon. He looked back at her, possibly wondering what they were about to do.
He then asked her. “What do you wanna do, Zipp?”
She remained silent as various thoughts ran through her mind. She wanted to go home. But, at the same time, after seeing all those Digimon on the way here. And remembering how Worms Digimon looked. She turned towards the tunnel and ran for the entrance. Guilmon followed close behind her.
Dust nodded before saying. “Good luck to you all.” She then turned back towards the computer.
