Digimon Adventure 02, Shixona

Chapter 1

I was in the middle of class when I heard Silvmon's voice echo in my head. And his tone was filled to the brim with panic.

'Shixona, help!' he screamed in my mind. I became antsy for the rest of class, and when I heard the bell ring, I bolted to the computer room, where I saw Tai about to enter.

"You heard Agumon, didn't you?" I guessed.

"And you heard Silvmon, huh?" he smiled grimly. I nodded, and we quickly entered the Digital World. We managed to find our partners, lying on the ground in pain. "Agumon!"

"Silvmon!"

"Tai? You're here!" Agumon smiled in relief.

"Shixona!" Silvmon whimpered happily.

"You've got to digivolve!" we told them urgently.

"That's why we need your help, guys," Silvmon told us as I scooped him up into my arms. "We can't digivolve."

"What, did you forget how?" Tai demanded. "It's just like riding a bicycle. Now start peddling and digivolve!" Out of nowhere, Gatomon and Patamon joined us.

"Move your tails!" the feline Digimon ordered.

"We're gonna need some more help. We'd better call the others!" I said urgently as we ran off. After I sent an email out to the others, we soon got a reply back from Izzy. "It's from Izzy! He's got Kari and T.K. with him!"

"Guys, come here, quick!" Agumon called, and we ran into the cavern he was at. We joined him, and the orange dinosaur Digimon said, "Tai, look at this!"

"Weird…" I murmured.

"It's got the Crest of Courage!" my cousin exclaimed. "Is it an egg?"

"I don't know… I've never seen an egg with a spike through it!" Agumon pointed out.

"Let's have a closer look," the brunette suggested, and he tried to pick up the egg, but then when he touched the egg, three lights flew up from it.

"Whoa! They look like fireflies! Or really fast ones!" I gasped. Finally, we got their signals, and we left the cave to find them.

"They're close by," Tai murmured as we walked.

"T.K.!" Patamon suddenly cried out happily, and he flew over to the younger blonde.

"Patamon! Am I glad to see you!" T.K. grinned as Silvmon crawled onto my shoulder from my arms.

"Kari!" Gatomon cheered, and leaped into the younger brunette's arms as they both smiled brightly and laughed.

"You guys made it!" I said happily, starting to approach my younger cousin and T.K.

"Tai! I told the others you'd be all right," Davis, a cinnamon-haired boy in Kari and T.K.'s class that was in the soccer club and looked up to Tai, smiled brightly.

"Davis? What are you doing here?" Tai asked, bewildered.

"Gatomon!" Kari giggled, but then she noticed Gatomon's tail. "Huh? Your tail ring! Tell me what happened!" We made our way back to the cave where Gatomon explained.

"One day, a bossy human appeared and started making Digimon his slaves," Gatomon began. "He says, 'I am the Digimon Emperor!' I hear we're all going to have to punch a time clock, too."

"You mean there are more humans besides us?" T.K. raised a brow in surprise. "There goes the neighborhood…"

"Yeah, and he's got this strange new dark digivice that makes us unable to digivolve!" Gatomon added.

"Show her yours!" T.K. told Davis, and he held up a strange blue digivice.

"Huh? This one?" he said.

"That's it! You work for the Digimon Emperor!" she growled. Silvmon bristled angrily on my shoulder.

"I don't work for anyone! I just got it when it came out of the computer!" Davis protested. Tai appeared to be deep in thought for a moment, and then Gatomon spoke up again.

"The dark digivice is draining our power and making us weak as newborn kittens," she muttered, frustrated.

"That's why you couldn't digivolve!" I realized, looking at Silvmon and Agumon.

"Yeah! If I could digivolve, he wouldn't stand a chance!" Silvmon nodded firmly.

"The Digimon Emperor uses these powerful dark rings to take control of the Digimon!" Gatomon growled.

"Yeah, that's right! If the rings catch you, you're a slave for life!" Patamon agreed.

"These collars do everything but get rid of fleas!" Gatomon added.

"Digimon Emperor!" Kari scoffed. "I'll slap a dark ring on him!"

"Looks like a deflated beach ball!" T.K. remarked. "No wonder, it has a spike through it!"

"Yeah, plus it's heavier than my mom's meatloaf," Tai joked, and I laughed lightly. T.K. tried to pick it up, but nothing happened.

"It won't budge!" he grumbled as he stepped back.

"Move over. This is a woman's job!" Kari told him, and tried, but nothing.

"Too bad we don't have a woman here to help," T.K. chuckled, and I slapped him upside the head.

"Shut it," I growled.

"Guys! I pump iron all the time! Let me do it!" Davis suggested, and he tried to lift it, this time with success. "See? What'd I tell you? Light as a feather!"

"There's a problem!" Tai yelped, and suddenly, light began to pour out of the digi-egg, and a small blue Digimon, larger than Silvmon, though, came out of it.

"Yahoo! Free at last! Free at last!" he cheered, hopping about, and then stopped in front of Davis. "You moved the digi-egg! My name's Veemon, but you can just call me Veemon."

"Uh, hi, I'm Davis," Davis said nervously.

"I've heard of Veemon!" Agumon told us. "Supposedly he's a fun-loving, adventure-seeking little Digimon that brings you good luck. But I thought he was just a legend!"

"Nope! I'm real and I've been waiting my whole life to meet you, Davis!" Veemon grinned at the cinnamon-haired boy.

"Uh, I think you've got the wrong guy," Davis told him.

"Nope, you're the one all right, because you were the only one who was able to move the digi-egg of courage!" the blue Digimon smiled brightly. Suddenly, everything began to shake.

"What's than, an earthquake?" Davis yelped.

"No, look up there!" I yelled, pointing up. There was a Monochromon at the top of the cave, getting ready to attack us.

"A monster!" Davis wailed.

"No, that's a Digimon!" Kari corrected him.

"Monochromon!" T.K. shouted.

"Pepper Breath!"

"Boom Bubble!"

"Silver Pulse!" None of our Digimons' attacks hurt him, so we fled.

"Volcanic Strike!" he roared.

"Come on, let's go!" T.K. cried out, and we ran faster.

"Davis, come on!" Tai yelled, and Davis ran out with Veemon close behind.

"Davis, hurry up and open the digi-egg!" Veemon urged as we all ran.

"Get down here, quick!" I warned as Monochromon shot another blast at them. Veemon tackled Davis to protect them, and they tumbled down the cliff. The fireball was narrowly dodged by Kari and Gatomon, the former of which yelped in pain as she hit the ground.

"Davis, are you okay? Tell me what hurts!" Veemon pleaded with Davis as the cinnamon-haired boy lay on the ground.

"Everything but my earlobes," he groaned.

"You control the digi-egg of courage! You've got to use your courage to open it up!" the blue Digimon urged.

"Davis, get up! It's not safe!" I yelled to him.

"Okay," he called back.

"I can digivolve if you open up the digi-egg, but you have to have courage to do it!" Veemon pushed.

"Tai!" Agumon called to my older cousin.

"We've got to get out of here!" T.K. shouted.

"Kari?" Gatomon said to the younger brunette worriedly.

"I can't move my ankle," Kari whimpered.

"We're sitting ducks here!" Tai growled in frustration. Suddenly, Monochromon roared and charged at Kari.

"Davis!" Veemon begged.

"Have courage!" Tai pressed.

"Kari's in trouble!" Davis gasped, and then bit out, "You want courage? I'll show you! DIGI-ARMOUR ENERGIZE!" Suddenly, the digi-egg began to glow, as did Davis's digivice and Veemon.

"Veemon, armor digivolve to…Flamedramon! The fire of courage!" And then, in Veemon's place, stood a taller version of Veemon with pieces of armor that resembled the digi-egg for his hands, feet, and face.

"Armor digivolve?!" Tai gasped.

"Whoa, what's that?" Davis wondered aloud.

"I am Flamedramon. As Veemon, I used the digi-egg of courage to armor digivolve," Flamedramon explained. "My 'Fire Rocket' attack will charbroil the enemy like a well-done steak!" Monochromon roared at Flamedramon, and then charged at him.

"Volcanic Strike!" he bellowed. We all screamed in panic, but Flamedramon had things under control. He was swift to dodge the attack, and then flung Monochromon away from him and us.

"Fire Rocket!" the dragon-type Digimon cried out, and then covered himself in fire while in midair.

"Barbeque that dark ring, Flamedramon!" Gatomon yelled. He complied, quickly striking the dark ring with the flaming attack, and de-digivolved when it was over. The light from the digi-egg went to Davis's digivice, and then it glowed and sent a small beam of light into his jacket pocket.

"Whoa, what's this?" he wondered aloud, and pulled out a D-terminal from where the light had gone.

"That's a good Monochromon," Kari soothed the large Digimon, petting him before bidding him farewell. "Goodbye, Monochromon! Don't forget to write!"

"I can't believe the Digimon Emperor could turn such a nice Digimon into such an evil creature," T.K. commented as Monochromon walked away.

"Nice working with you, Davis. Let's do it again sometime," Veemon grinned as he shook hand with Davis.

"Great!" Davis agreed.

"Hey guys, that armor digivolving was pretty cool!" Tai told them as we approached.

"Even though the rest of us can't digivolve, I'm sure that you new kids will be able to take care of the Digimon Emperor with no problem!" Agumon agreed.

"Yeah! Leave it to us!" Veemon smiled brightly.

"Davis, you were really brave back there in the battle, but I noticed you broke your goggles," Tai told the cinnamon-haired boy. "And as we know, the leader of the digidestined just wouldn't look right without them. So here, I want you to have mine." He handed Davis his goggles, and he put them on.

"Wow!" he breathed in awe.

"They look real cute!" Kari commented, and Davis blushed with a nervous chuckle.

"Good. The sun's going down, so now we can relax!" Patamon remarked as we looked to the setting sun.

"Why's that?" I asked, looking at Silvmon.

"Because the Digimon Emperor never attacks at night!" he grinned, relieved.

"Excuse me, Tai, but it's getting kind of late. Don't you guys need to go home?" Agumon pointed out.

"That's right. But I'm not even sure if we can get home! Careful, never stay too long," the brunette agreed, and we made our way to a TV, which allowed us back into the real world. We ended up crashing on top of Yolei, Cody, and Izzy, who were apparently enjoying brownies when we came through. To Be Continued…

A/N: And there's that! I know I cut out quite a bit, but remember, this is from Shixona's POV, not any varying ones. R&R, peeps!
