Summary: What happened if, Bakumon did his nightmare Syndrome on Takuya and Koji and only Izumi and JP could save them? Then Grumblemon appears and he kidnaps Izumi, what in the world is a girl to do, without her Digivice.
Chapter One: Friends to evil
"Izumi isn't that Takuya and the rest?" Junpei asked as he pointed to three falling objects with the blue sky behind them.
Izumi looked up at the three falling objects and smiled" Hai that's them,"
"Takuya, Tomoki and Koji!" Junpei hollered at them, as the landed on the ground.
"Junpei, Izumi," Takuya replied.
As they looked at each other, with sun shine coming on them and a green grass around them. Trees blowing in the wind, as their heard a Trailmon coming by and it went by.
"This is the forest boundary," Bokomon replied while he looked into the forest while Neemon stood up beside him.
"Forest boundary?" Takuya asked with a confused look that came across his face, while the rest had different looks coming across their faces. Koji had "you got to be kidding" while Junpei "Nooooo!" As Izumi had an "Oh" and Tomoki had a "I'm tired look across his face. The forest was around them, trees stood behind them and a fallen tree stood in front of them.
"Hey Bokomon, where's the forest terminal?" Junpei asked as he turned his head towards him.
"At the end of your journey," Bokomon stated with his hands stuffed into his belt clothe that was pink.
"At the end?" Junpei said surly at them. "I guess its not over yet,"
Then the group started to walk deeper into the forest, unaware that something might be watching them or following them. Coming over a hill Koji, Takuya and Izumi ran down the hill, leaving behind Tomoki and Junpei coming slowly up the hill and stopping when they got up. The two boys had tired looks on their faces with a bit of sweat coming down on Junpei face.
"Hey, can we stop for a bit? I'm really tired," Junpei stated and he asked.
"Me too and hungry as well." Tomoki uttered out as he step beside Junpei.
The three at the bottom were looking at them, as Takuya said, "Tonight, we'll sleep outside around here."
"We may as well stop here then," Izumi stated.
"It's a good opportunity to rest," Koji pointed out.
"I'm glad," Tomoki replied.
"Then let's get started." Takuya stated.
"Gather fire wood and food." Junpei muttered out to them.
As they were talking a shadowy form appeared in the trees nearby watching them with blue glowing eyes.
They nodded their heads at the plan. Then, Izumi holding a strange apple like food said, "Ta-dah!"
Then her hand brought down the apple like food and asked Bokomon "Is this edible?"
"It's a meat apple." Bokomon said.
They all said, "A meat apple?"
"Yes, if you fry it, it tastes like meat and it's healthy." Bokomon assured them.
"Where did you get it?" Takuya asked while he pointed at it.
"I picked it up, surely the tree is somewhere near!" She exclaimed while she turned around to the other two boys. "Bokomon lets go and look."
"All right." Bokomon yelled.
"I am?" Neemon asked with a confuse look on his face.
"Let's go Bakamon." Bokomon sighed as he dragged Neemon around by his red pants.
"I'm not Bakamon, I'm Neemon," He replied still getting dragged by his red pants.
"I'm coming too." Tomoki indicated as he raced after them leaving behind Junpei, Koji and Takuya.
Junpei had a smile on his face as he watched Izumi walked away with Tomoki and the two others.
"All right, let's go find some fire wood." Takuya called out to Koji and Junpei.
As they started to walk in the opposite direction from the other group looking for some firewood, gathering lots up into their arms, they walked back.
…With Izumi and group….
In the trees the shadow appeared up without the dark light on it, to reveal a Digimon with a blue eye with metal on its head saying, "It's been a long time, they're so happy." Then, his eye turned into a slit with evil thoughts.
Izumi lead them into the forest for the meat apple tree, with Tomoki and Bokomon with Neemon following her.
Then in the distance the shadowy form of the Digimon raced across to hide within the trees, Tomoki stop seeing something with the trees then Izumi and rest stopped.
"What's wrong?" Izumi asked as she looked over at Tomoki.
Tomoki replied out "Just now, I heard something … I wonder if this is a trap?"
They all looked around and saw nothing.
"But there's nothing…" Izumi said unsurely to them.
"Over there!" Tomoki exclaimed with cheerfulness.
Izumi stated" Huh?"
"Look there!" Tomoki pointed as he said.
"You found them." Izumi announced.
"There's so many." Tomoki yelled.
There, a little distance away was the meat apple tree; they raced towards it while the shadowy figure laughed evilly at them. They got to the tree and started to pick as much as they can carry and took it back towards the campgrounds.
Night came while Junpei helped Tomoki, Izumi, Bokomon and Neemon to place sticks within the meat apples. Takuya and Koji started to make the fire.
"Got it." Takuya replied.
"All right, let me do it." Koji said as he took the small burning flames from Takuya and started to place it on the large logs.
Junpei placed one meat apple on the stick and stated "Here goes." taking a bite from it and his face turned shocking blue, then he spit out the bite he took. "Ah yuck!"
"You can't it eat raw." Bokomon stated calmly at him.
While Neemon shook a bit with the meat apple still within his mouth, turning blue then he spoke. "You better hurry…" As Bokomon turned to see him.
"Hey Koji… what do we about the ten legendary warriors…that is…why did Grottomon fight us five…?
Koji's Flash back
He was Junpei as Beetlemon punched the mountain's wall, with thunder. Then the thunder went up to a cliff, breaking it apart and rolling down the side, taking out Grottomon with it.
End of flash back
"At that time, the five of us fought him, and then…"Koji recalled to Takuya.
Koji flash back
"Beast spirit! Grottomon yelled as he held up another object, as Fairymon and Beetlemon gasped at it, as lights went around Grottomon then went away showing a different form completely.
Completely taking out the group, as seeing the Digi-code within the mountain.
End of flash back
"That guy evolved into a legendary Digimon..."Koji replied as the fire grew.
"Beast spirit… just what was that?" Takuya said staring at the fire.
Bokomon looked at the fire, and then turned" Izumi-chan, the fire is ready."
"Yeah!" Izumi, Tomoki and Junpei yelled racing over to the fire with the meat apples on sticks.
Tomoki stopped when he heard something above them, but started when "Hey Tomoki." Was called out.
"Y-yeah," he said unsurely as he started to run over to them. While glowing eyes appeared in the trees not far from the group, they apples were over the fire.
"Bokomon, what's this "beast spirit"?" Takuya asked.
"I don't know…" Bokomon replied,
"Check the guard book." Takuya instructed him
Bokomon check the book saying, "Beast, beast" and still found nothing, "There's nothing more in the book."
While Neemon was looking was at the book, he rubs against it, and heard from Bokomon "Stop that." Then he placed his finger in the side and started to say "But, this page…" While he'd showed Bokomon what he found.
"This part was closed up before…I got it!" He told them, as he looked at it more.
"The legendary warriors have two spirits!" he exclaimed to the kids.
They had shocked looks coming over their faces. "The first is the human spirit and then there's the beast spirit. The "beast spirit" we saw was one of these."
"So, Grottomon is like them? Neemon asked.
"There's more to understand," Bokomon replied. "I believe that Grottomon is the human type and Gigasmon is the beast type"
"So that's it. And we fight with the human spirits." Koji stated while looking at the fire.
"We might be able to find more…"Izumi replied.
As they all had a moment of silence until Neemon started to poke at Bokomon saying" Zen, zen, zen."
"Stop that." Bokomon ordered as he slaps the Neemon hand away.
"So that means that we have to find some beast spirits too!" Tomoki exclaimed.
That's right," Takuya yelled with his fist in the air. "We can also use beast spirits!"
All but Koji said "Yeah"
Once again Neemon started to poke at Bokomon saying "Zen, zen, and zen."
"Stop that." Bokomon said once again with a slap to Neemon's hand.
"I wonder, is that a good thing…" He questioned.
"Of course!" Bokomon assured. "No matter what happens, Takuya-san, and the others will get the beast spirits!"
"Then, they can return the digital codes so that this barren land will be back to normal." Bokomon claimed.
"Wrong." Neemon replied, while making Bokomon turned around at him." What do you mean wrong?"
"Hey, they're getting burned." He said as he pointed to the meat apples.
They all grabbed them, and started to eat and eat until they were all gone.
"The night air is ringing." Takuya said.
A cloud begins to go over the three coloured moons.
"What's going on?" Tomoki asked as he held his stock with his meat apple. "This is…what?"
They walked over it them as they saw airplane, Paris, and many other places. They saw cars and roads with people trying to cross.
"What is this?" Takuya asked.
"What…." Junpei stated to ask.
"What?" Izumi asked. "What this is like our world…"
"This is…the human world, on the forest of television." Bokomon stated with an all-knowing voice.
Koji looked at Bokomon and said" Forest of television?"
Izumi placed her hand on one television and said" This is…my school; ah it's like being there again."
"I hate school." Junpei uttered. "So this is it…?"
"This is…the place where I used to play all the time!" Tomoki exclaimed as they picture moved around to see a women with light brown hair. "MAMA!"
"Really?" Junpei asked.
"Tomoki's mother is very pretty, isn't she?" Izumi asked.
"Mama." Tomoki whispered at the television.
While the cloud begins to move out of the moonlight, the pictures began to fade out including the picture of Tomoki's mother.
"MAMA!" Tomoki yelled with pain in his heart.
Then group sat down again, as they watched some of the meat apples cook by the fire.
"I'd like to see my mama too." Izumi sadly said as she had her arms around her legs.
"Tomoki, stay cheerful!" Takuya said as he had a meat apple in his hand while he sat by Tomoki trying to cheer him up. "Here, have one of these, like meatballs. They're great."
"They're like siblings." Izumi stated as she looked at them.
He took a bite of it while the shadow across over once again, however it was Takuya that thought he heard something, he looked over to see nothing there.
Then he turned over to see the fifth member against the tree and he called" Koji come here over too."
Koji laid his back against the tree long ago, heard what Takuya said, and looked than other way and said" I like to be alone." with a cool voice.
"What all with the pride?" Junpei asked, and then he started again" You should get used to it."
"Oh isn't it okay?" Izumi asked. "Hey, hey Junpei show us what showed the Digimon!"
"It can't be that you're going to tell our horoscope?" Takuya asked.
"I guess I have no choice." Junpei stated.
"Yay!" Izumi said as she clapped.
"Ija Ija!" Takuya replied, with a funny smile on his face.
"Yes, this is it everyone!" Junpei uttered. "Here I have one scarf… and here I have one more."
"Ah what next?" Takuya asked.
"Each of the scarves are here…" as he placed them in his hands and rub his hands together. "… Yes! That's it!"
"This is what I showed the Digimon school kids." Junpei replied. While he rubbed his hands together once more, stating "Then, I'll put it back… look see"
"Amazing." Bokomon replied as he sat there and watched Junpei.
"In your pocket, anything can be done!" Takuya replied.
Koji still lay against the tree with his hand behind his head, as he watched Junpei's show and then started "It's way better than magic…" With a small smile on his face.
"Ah great, great!" Takuya replied.
"It can't be…wait…here! What's this!" Junpei stated.
Tomoki started to pick up a meat apple, in the nearby by trees, the shadow poked out and stared at Tomoki who took a bite from the meat apple.
The shadow said in a whispered" Nightmare Syndrome," while a dark cloud went towards Tomoki, it slowly wrapping it around his body. And then going into his ear, making his eyes deepen in color.
After Junpei's magic show, Tomoki and Izumi went to bed to get some rest with Junpei and Takuya looking over them while Koji lay by his tree.
"I have the worse of luck." Junpei stated.
"You've got no choice, you lost at jan-ken-po," Takuya replied.
"I'm all worn out! I wanted to sleep first…" Junpei whined out.
"Junpei…He looked at Takuya," Are…you alone?"
"Huh, what, I don't understand," Junpei replied honestly at Takuya.
"Nothing really," Takuya muttered.
"Why are you asking?" Junpei asked.
"I have a brother, but Tomoki doesn't, so…when we went to the digital world it was my brother's birthday. Ah I don't get any of that cake."
"About now, I want some." Junpei said with sparkles in his eyes.
"That's right." Takuya said, as his instincts were telling him someone was watching them.
"What's wrong?" Junpei asked.
"Some time ago…we… there's someone watching us!" Takuya replied.
Takuya stood up and took a look around, as Junpei did too, but found nothing; though in the trees the shadowy figure laid awake looking onto them with blue glowing eyes.
"There isn't anything there," Junpei uttered to Takuya.
"What is this sense?" Takuya asked.
Junpei laughed and the said "Takuya, don't tell me you're scared of shadows,"
Takuya took a look around once again, on his tree once again; Koji was staring into the night sky. With the voice that brought them here" Seek the spirit…find it, Minamoto Koji-kun soon the mystery will be solved," Then his thoughts "The mystery? What's that?"
Tomoki moaned into his sleep, thus making all his friends look over to him with concern.
Tomoki's dream
Grey/black surrounds him, as he raced through it, while seeing his mother form slipping farther away from him as he said "Mama!" over and over again. As he tried to get closer to her, but soon four shadows stopped him as he noticed they were his friends stopping him from getting to his mother. Saying" You can't go."
Screaming "Why?" over and over again, "Stop it!"
Tomoki woke up with a start, as he voiced out "STOP!"
"Tomoki…?" Izumi asked hesitantly.
There stood Tomoki with a stock from the fire.
Whispering out" I won't forgive you," over four more times.
"What's wrong? Tomoki," Takuya asked with concern.
"Why are you half asleep?" Junpei asked.
That was when he, started to attacked his friends, launching attacks on Takuya and Junpei first.
"Tomoki!" Izumi called out to him.
He turned towards her, as he launched attack on her; she jumped out of the way. Then Koji jumped in front of her protecting her from Tomoki.
"Izumi!" Koji called as he glared at Tomoki for attacking her. "That guy…something's happened…"
Tomoki stood up at Koji while still saying, "I won't forgive you."
"Why! Stop this Tomoki." Takuya yelled.
"I cannot." He told them. "I won't forgive…" as the pictures came back into his mind" I will kill you, "while he threw down the stick and then took out his Digivice. "Spirit Evolution" soon he evolved into Chakmon.
He stood by the fire; he looked at it and turned his breath making it turned into ice.
While the shadow came out of hiding and looked onto this scene, he like it, his mind came up with a different plan. He looked at the rest and watch them backing up from Chakmon as, Chakmon calmly walked over to them.
He floated overhead of them almost without anyone noticing. "Yo! Look! What is that?" Izumi asked as she watches a Digimon floating around the area.
Takuya, Koji and Junpei looked up to see a new Digimon around them, and then turned back down to see Chakmon still walking towards them.
"Do you think this one has something to do with Tomoki?" Izumi asked.
"I believe so." Koji said as he quickly grabbed Izumi's hand and pulled her along.
While Neemon woke up and watched of a second his eyes widen and he fell from the tree branch, thus waking up Bokomon that looked onto this.
"What?" Bokomon asked.
"Oy, oy. Hey Tomoki." Takuya stated.
"Stop this." Junpei told him.
Bokomon looked onto this situation and noticed Bakumon floating near them, taking out his book, he looked him up. "Bakumon is usually a passive Digimon, gentle with giving dreams, but look out for his holy ring, his passive self becomes a raving nightmare seeker. His passive side attack is Dream Mist; his not so passive side is called Nightmare Syndrome."
"So I guess I'm right!" Izumi stated as she looked onto this bad Digimon now.
Bakumon laughed evilly and circled around them and they jumped and racing from Chakmon's ice attacks. Bakumon looked at the two near the end; one would do as he floated above him then said Nightmare Syndrome."
While his attack went around the one with goggles, his friends called his name, "Takuya!" While the dark cloud went into his ear and began his nightmare, after a while he woken up like Tomoki and looked at his friends.
Taking out his Digivice and shouted out "Spirit evolution"
Koji looked over to Takuya and muttered, "Oh great." Then, Izumi was behind a tree and Junpei near him. This was just getting better. He thought.
Then he looked at Chakmon attacking them once again, while he saw Izumi running back, he felt fear coming from his heart. Now this was peachy, he thought he told himself not to get attached to anyone.
Then he saw the shadow of the tree falling towards Izumi, not thinking he jumped towards her ducking out of the way from Chakmon's attack at him, he grabbed Izumi into his arms and side flip with her in his arms, while he took the blunt force when landing.
"Izumi-chan!" Junpei yelled as he raced over to them when he saw Agnimon done with his evolution.
"Koji what do we do?" Izumi asked. "We can't hurt them,"
Koji looked over her then to Junpei as he and Izumi stood up walking back a bit form the two former friends.
"I don't know Izumi." He honestly told her.
Bakumon laughed again, and then literately a light bulb came into his mind as he floated towards the group again.
Izumi was the only one to noticed Bakumon coming towards them once again. Soon he stopped by Junpei; she wondered "No" she thought. She pushed Junpei out of the dark cloud and stood back almost onto Koji, who watched her then he looked up.
"Izumi!" Junpei called, "That hurt."
"Pay attention!" Izumi replied as she pointed up to Bakumon.
Junpei followed her finger and smiled sheepishly at her, "Thanks!" He got up and walked over to them while keeping an eye on his two friends and the Bakumon above them.
"We have to Digivolve and stop them." Junpei urged.
Koji looked at him and nodded his head "I agree on this one."
Izumi looked over at them both and placed her hands to her heart and shook her head "No."
"Izumi, we have to save them." Junpei stated at her.
"I know, but I truly believe that there is a better way to safe them then to fight them." Izumi cried out.
Agnimon raced towards them, with his arms coming towards his hands throwing his fire punches at Koji and Izumi while Chakmon turned his attacks to Junpei. With Bakumon over head, he watched and with one aim, he called out Nightmare Syndrome at Koji, making the dark cloud around him then going into his ear. Making his nightmare began and soon after that, he woke up and took out his Digivice and shouted out "Spirit Evolution."
"Izumi what now?" Junpei asked as he moved towards her.
Izumi looked at her friends and then looked at Bakumon and felt a resolve go into her mind. "Junpei let's Digivolve!"
Junpei nodded his head and took out his Digivice and he shouted "Spirit Evolution!" While Izumi took out hers, "Spirit Evolution!" Both came out as Beetlemon and as Fairymon.
"Beetlemon you take on, Tomoki and Takuya, I'll take on Koji," Fairymon ordered as she went off at Wolfmon, leaving Beetlemon to take on Chakmon and Agnimon.
…Beetlemon….
Beetlemon stood his ground with Chakmon and Agnimon attacking him from the front, sides, and back.
Jumping back Beetlemon shouted out, "Lighting Blitz!" While his horn emits the lighting at Chakmon and Agnimon, making them jump back.
….Fairymon…
"Wolfmon." Fairymon started to say while she dodges some of his kicks and punches.
Fairymon flew up into the sky while looking at him, and started to plan how to get back Koji. When he jumped up at her, and kick her chest hard, making her fall to the ground with pain a bit, she quickly gets back up and jumps at Wolfmon calling out, "Rapid kick!"
Hitting Wolfmon's chest hard, making him move back a bit. He growled at her, as he took out his Lobo Kendo stick making a Z in the air. He jumped up and begins to a difficult pattern at Fairymon making it hard for her to dodge his Lobo Kendo.
Wincing at the hits she took, she quickly jumped up but not before getting a slash across her stomach making it bleed, as her arms and face were already bleeding.
"Breeze Petal!" Fairymon shouted as her fingers summoned long tornadoes and threw them at Wolfmon.
…..Beetlemon…
Agnimon attacked him with his Burning Salamander fists, making Beetlemon move back into a tree as Agnimon threw a punched at him. He caught it fast and jumped up with Agnimon and throwing him over his shoulder. Making Agnimon fly into a few trees.
Turning to see Chakmon getting bigger, he knew one attack as he charged forward at him, and then soon shouted out "Proton slam!"
Taking out Chakmon as he fell to the ground with a loud "thud" Beetlemon thought, "Sorry Tomoki and that will hurt in the morning"
Then turned to see Agnimon standing up and jumped at him, giving out kicks and punches, Beetlemon dodged most but some hit him.
"Thunder fist!" Beetlemon called out as he launches his attack on Agnimon, making him fall hard on the ground, but Agnimon stood up again and continued to attack Beetlemon.
…Fairymon…
Fairymon watched as Wolfmon torn through her attacks with minor cuts and bruises, Fairymon recalled her" Breeze Petal" then attacked him while her attack kept Wolfmon busy for a few moments, she looked for a place to attacks him.
Seeing it, she flew straight down behind and then she shouted out "Lovely Hip!" Pressing her butt to his back, making him feel soft and affected.
She landed little ways in front of him, and then called out "Wolfmon!"
Little did she know that saying his name turned him back, then he swiftly attack her knocking on Fairymon to the ground, he jumped on top of her and ready his Lobo Kendo in attack position.
"Koji!" Fairymon shouted at him.
