"Agunimon: Warrior of Flame and Lobomon: the Warrior of Light"
Here is the next chapter. Please enjoy and review!
Walking down the cars that were empty, Takuya felt a bit nervous while Dai was on edge, ready in case they were attacked.
"Man, this place sure is empty. What if it's a ghost train?" Takuya asked.
They continued on until they made it to a car that had three other kids inside, one being a tall girl their age with long blonde hair and emerald eyes while she wore a lavender outfit, the sight of the girl making Dai tense up since she reminded her of Yolei.
Next was a heavyset brunette who had brown eyes that matched his spikey hair and wore a blue and yellow jumpsuit as he munched on a chocolate bar.
Veemon was drooling at the scent, but bit his tongue to remind him to behave or else he would be in trouble.
Lastly, there was a little boy farther off from them sitting with his head bent, the large orange hat hiding his face.
"Um, you here cause of the...phone thing?" Takuya asked.
As the heavyset male and blonde girl looked at them, Dai hid behind Takuya and bent her head as she clung to his arm to hide from them.
Blondie nodded while chocolate boy huffed as he looked away.
"With them here, there's five of us. I wonder if that means something special?" the blonde girl asked.
"Something special? What? Why'd you guys get on this train?" Takuya asked.
"I mean was it the message?" he asked as he walked further into the car.
"Hey, kid, this was the closest train to the elevator, OK?" the heavy set boy said.
"Now look. Just leave me alone." He said looking to the side.
"Gee, sorry." Takuya muttered feeling discouraged.
"I'm just nervous." the boy said.
"But there must be a reason you picked this particular train." Takuya said, then looked over to the blonde as she giggled.
"I'm like him, it was the closest to the elevator." the blond said.
The heavy set boy grinned widely as his eyebrows wiggled.
"Hey, watch this." He whispered to Takuya.
"So, honey, you want some chocolate? Move!" he whispered the last word to Takuya as he slightly shoved him away.
"No." the girl said.
"By the way, my name's JP. What's yours?" the heavy set boy said, trying to flirt.
"I'm Zoe; it's nice to meet you." she smiled.
"And I'm Takuya. This here is Dai." He smiled while she just continued to hide from them and hugged Veemon closer to her chest.
"Why'd she bring a stuffed animal? Is she a baby?" JP asked.
Takuya gave him a glare and was about to yell at him, but was stopped by the little boy sniffling sadly.
"I'm…I'm, Tommy, but...I didn't want to get on this train..." he said.
"What are you sayin'?" Takuya asked.
"Some big kids...bullies...they pushed me on and shut the door! Why are people always picking on me?" Tommy cried as he looked up revealing brown hair and ocean green eyes.
"This kid could be a faucet." JP muttered.
"JP. Don't worry, Tommy. You're safe with us." Zoe assured.
Suddenly the lights went out which surprised everyone as the train then hit a rough patch making them all fall to the ground, Dai and Veemon looking over at the overs to see transparent forms of digimon go over the four humans.
This surprised them as they tried to figure out why that would happen, but were confused by this.
One thing they did know, these kids were the new Digidestinds and the Digital World was in danger yet again.
Everyone's cell phones then started to shriek loudly as their phones glowed and transformed into new digivices.
"What's going on?" Takuya asked.
"Welcome to the Digital World Takuya Kanbara/Zoe Orimoto/JP Shibiyama/Tommy Himi. This is your D-Tector." The woman's voice said.
"Did you guys get that message?" Takuya asked.
There was no answer as the others were staring at their new devices.
"OK, I guess that's a yes." Takuya said as the train then gave a loud and obnoxious whistle that sounded more like a person was making it as they all held their ears.
"You can hear that on Mars." Takuya said.
The light then came back on as they had come out of the tunnel and spotted some creatures floating outside which made Dai and Veemon rush over to the windows and knew they were right.
"Are those ghosts?" Zoe asked.
"They sure look like it!" Tommy said.
"They sort of look like marshmallows. They go great with chocolate!" JP said.
"Poyomon." Dai whispered, but no one heard except for Veemon who was in her arms.
One of the Poyomon cooed as it smooched it's face up against the window where Zoe was standing, contorting it's face until it looked a bit frightening and caused the blonde to yell and scare all of the Poyomon away.
"Probably ghosts of kids that came here before! What have I gotten myself into?" Takuya whimpered.
"I bet that's the train station. I hope there are none of those ghost things there. Not that I'm scared or anything." Zoe said.
"Yeah, I always scream in terror when I'm not afraid." JP scoffed.
"Humph. Boys." Zoe pouted.
The train stopped and the four kids looked outside the doors while the duo of Miracles looked out the windows to see that s group of Pagumon were smiling at them with mischief clear in their red eyes.
The kids were then pushed out of the train by a force of steam, landing on the warm metal ground.
"That first step's a doozy." a voice said.
"Did that train just talk?" Takuya asked.
Dai stepped out next, then looked back to the train.
"Hey, I'm not just any old train, I'm Trailmon and I'm alive, just like you. Although I am more handsome than you scrunched up little pugs, thank you very much. Any who, this here is Flame Terminal and you're in the heart of a digimon village." The Trailmon said.
"Digimon village?" Takuya asked.
The Pagumon got closer to them, laughing evilly and made the kids back up, trying to keep away and Tommy started crying.
"I didn't even wanna get on this train!" he cried.
"Sorry you feel bad kiddo, but I can't stick around, if you want to go home, you'll have to find a Spirit or somethin'!" Trailmon said, backing away.
"This kid should get a job as a fire alarm." JP said, referring to Tommy's cries.
"What's a Spirit and where do we get one? Hel-lo?!" Zoe asked.
"Give us an answer. Hey!" JP called.
"Hey yourself, I got a schedule to keep." Trailmon said.
The Trailmon kept backing away until he was gone.
"So, guess that's it. We're all alone." Takuya said.
"Wait, come back here!" JP called as he stood up, Zoe following his example.
"Yeah, pretty please?" she called.
"Take me home!" Tommy yelled as he stood up and ran over to the track.
"Hey, wait! Tommy, stop!" Takuya called as she chased after him.
"Why do I get the feeling we're gonna spend all our time recuing the baby?" JP asked.
"Tommy!" Takuya called.
"Go away!" the boy yelled back, sobbing as he walked out on the steel beam that was the train track.
"This isn't helping. You're gonna fall!" Takuya called after him.
"At least I won't be here anymore!" Tommy yelled back.
"Oh, I'll take you home." Takuya called making the boy stop and look back.
"Trailmon said that we have to find the Spirit to get home, so that's what we'll do. We'll get home." Takuya said.
"OK, I'm coming back." Tommy said as he turned to walk back over to the group, but he slipped and started to fall.
"TOMMY!" Takuya yelled.
Thankfully, Tommy clung to the beam in time so he didn't fall to his death making the goggle head sigh in relief.
"Don't move, I'm coming to get you." Takuya called as he started to head out.
Takuya ran over to help save him, but he was stopped by these green flames appearing on the other side of the village and two creatures ran towards him.
"Look what you've gotten me into." the white chicken said.
He and the yellow rabbit yelled as they tackled Takuya to the ground since he was in their way and they couldn't stop running in time to brace themselves.
"It's a human." the chicken said.
"You think everything's a human." the rabbit said.
"Don't start with me, you." the chicken snapped
"I'm human. Would you mind getting off me now?" Takuya said with a weird expression on his face.
"I'm so sorry, it was his fault." the chicken said.
"Yeah, my fault...Hey!" the rabbit yelped.
Some weird looking dog with three heads came out and the two small creatures hid behind Takuya.
"Oh no." Dai said with wide eyes as she ran over while JP and Zoe watched.
"What is that?" Takuya asked.
"That is one bad dog, bad dog. Cerberumon, special attack Emerald Blaze and that's why we need your help." The chicken said.
"Where's the ancient spirit?" Cerberumon asked.
"So whenever you're ready, go on and get him." The chicken said.
"That'd be good." The bunny said.
"I can sense the spirit's presence all over this town. I must destroy it." Cerberumon growled.
"No way! It's mine! I, ah, uh…" Takuya stuttered as the digimon, Bokomon and Neemon, whimpered fearfully.
"Then you shall be destroyed with it." Cerberumon said he then blasted green fire at them from his mouth.
"What, are you crazy? Run already!" the chicken said as he smacked Takuya's face.
"Yeah, but where am I supposed to go?" Takuya asked.
"Anywhere but here." The chicken said.
Takuya then ran after Tommy, grabbing from as the digimon clung to him.
"That mutt is going to eat up the entire village." Bokomon said as they turned to see the dog eating what looked like data that used to be the ground and tracks.
"Ah, great." Takuya said.
"There go the train tracks." The bunny said.
The beam started to fall making them cry out as JP and Zoe ran over.
"Takuya!" JP called.
"Oh no." Zoe said.
The group started to slide down the beam that was bending down, then slipped off and fell to the ground, Takuya shielding the digimon and Tommy with his body as he fell on his back, his black and red D-Tector falling in front of him as the screen lit up and beeped.
"Hey, my D-Tector." He said as it shot out a beam of light over to a vent that had flames shooting up and showed off a totem floating in the center of it as everyone got up and stared at it in awe.
"No way. What is…?" Takuya breathed.
"It's the spirit. Spirit of Flame." The chicken said.
"Spirit? That wasn't so hard. Time to go home. But how am I supposed to get it and what do I do with it when I do?" Takuya asked as he stood.
Cerberumon then jumped down behind them making them look over as Tommy clung to Takuya.
"No need to worry about that for it will soon be destroyed." He growled as he then charged at them.
Before he got close enough, a blue of blue hit him in the head and knocked him over.
Looking in awe, they saw that it was the stuffed animal that Dai had been carrying.
"Veemon, keep it up." She called down to him.
"Got it." Veemon smiled as he winked up at his partner.
"Huh?" JP and Zoe asked as they looked at the mahogany haired girl who wasn't being shy anymore, but looked brave and confident.
"What? How is that stuffed animal talking?" Takuya asked.
"You ninny. That's Veemon, a digimon that was once thought to be extinct. Veemon are known to be very lucky." Bokomon explained.
"Let's see how lucky you truly are." Ceberumon growled.
He then charged at Veemon, but the dragon punched the dog under the jaw and then in the face before he jumped up, going onto the dog's back and then kicked him down to the ground.
"I say pretty lucky." Veemon grinned.
"Nice." Takuya laughed as Tommy gave a small smile and the two Rookies cheered the dragon on.
"Don't get so cocky." Ceberumon warned.
He then used his Portals of Darkness, sending Veemon down into them and then closed it up making Dai's eyes widen in horror.
"VEEMON!" she yelled.
With that done, Ceberumon turned back to the ones standing in front of the Spirit of Flame and then charged.
Takuya looked up at Dai to see the sorrow and fear for her dragon in her eyes and then looked down at Tommy to see how scared he was, this made him make up his mind as he pushed the boy away and then grabbed a pipe.
"This sure rates pretty high on a scale of one to stupid." he said.
Cerberumon snapped his fangs down on the pole, breaking it and then jumped over the boy who grabbed onto the tail and was dragged along into the flames with him.
"Get out of my way human or suffer my wrath." Cerberumon snarled at him.
"No. But I hope his wrath isn't as bad as it sounds." Takuya said.
The dog was then set on fire and jumped away from the totem as he cried in pain.
"The Spirit's power! That hurt." He said as he rolled to put the flames out.
Dai jumped down, making JP and Zoe gasp in surprise, and then ran over to Tommy, Bokomon and Neemon.
Looking into the fire, she saw Takuya and another figure standing there.
"SPIRIT!" Takuya's voice yelled.
His D-Tector flew over to him and he caught it as he stood up and downloaded the totem into it and was covered in data and flames as he transformed.
"Execute: Spirit Evolution!"
"AGUNIMON!"
Agunimon roared as flames flickered around him as everyone stared in awe.
"What is this? A human turned into a digimon?" Cerberumon asked.
"What'd he turn into?" Tommy asked as the chicken pulled out a book.
"Let's see. Big and red, likes flame, not Santa Claus…Oh! Agunimon!" Bokomon gasped.
"No way." JP gasped.
"Every way." Zoe said.
"No matter who you are, you'll lose." Cerberumon said as he charged at Agunimon.
As he used his Emerald Blaze, Agunimon flipped away and grabbed Tommy, Dai and the digimon, dodging the next attack and getting up to where Zoe and JP were.
He then back flipped over to fight with Cerberumon while the others watched in awe or jealousy.
"Moto, cool." Zoe smiled while JP groaned.
Cerberumon was getting beat up by Agunimon, but the Portals of Darkness were opened up and Agunimon was forced down into them as Dai had tears shining in her eyes, fear of losing two friends in one day making her heart break.
Tommy saw how distressed Dai was and walked over to her, clutching onto her black tank top making her look down at him.
"Takuya and Veemon will be OK. I'm sure they will." He said.
She couldn't help but smile at him, but was sadly reminded of Cody and that made her look away from the boy just as there was an explosion and she looked over to the mountainside.
Agunimon had escaped the dark world with Ceberumon defeated and Veemon was safe on top of the Warrior of Flame's shoulder.
"Veemon!" Dai called with a smile.
Hearing her, Veemon looked over and gave a smile as he waved at her as Agunimon pulled out his D-Tector and then scanned Ceberumon's data, turning him back into a digi egg that floated off.
Floating back down to the ground, Dai ran off to go meet up with Agunimon and Veemon to see them.
Takuya turned back to normal and fell to his knees panting in exhaustion.
"Man, that's tiring. You…you were the one who saved me from getting hit by that truck." He said as Veemon stood in front of him.
"Yep. Dai is the one who can make me digivolve. She saw you were in danger, so her feelings for you made me digivolve to protect you." Veemon explained.
Takuya blinked at that, then smiled at the dragon and pet his head.
"Thanks for the help, buddy." He said.
"Hey, you saved me too. Now we're even. We'll work together to make Dai happy." Veemon said.
"Right." Takuya nodded.
But then Takuya remembered what had happened and then pulled out his D-Tector just as Dai made her way over, the others following her at a slower pace.
"But what did happen? How did I know how to do all that stuff?" Takuya asked.
"You are Digidestind." the voice said.
"I'm what now?" he asked.
"Digidestind! Chosen for great things. But don't be frightened. The one who chose you...was you." the woman said.
"I chose...myself?" Takuya asked unsure.
"Veemon!" Dai called.
"Dai!" Veemon cheered as he jumped into his partner's arms, relishing in the warmth of her body and the kisses she planted on his head.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." She said.
"I'll try not to." He said.
The others all made it, panting hard as they looked at the duo of Miracles curiously.
"So that stuffed animal is a digimon?" Zoe asked.
Hesitantly, Dai turned to her and nodded, then looked down at her dragon who smiled comfortingly at her.
"Ah, then you must be from one of the first two generations of Digidestinds. Tell me, which one are you from?" Bokomon asked.
Not talking, Dai held out her blue and white D-3 making Bokomon exclaim in awe.
"The second generation." He said.
"Dai was their leader and was the successor of Courage and Friendship and she's the child of Miracles, Keeper of the Golden Radiance." Veemon explained.
Everyone was staring at Dai in awe while she was avoiding their eyes, being reminded of her past leaving a foul taste in her mouth and a pang of sorrow in her heart as she remembered the insults and laughter.
After they got over that discovery, they turned their attention back to Takuya who was still in a daze from what had happened before.
"What just happened to me?" he asked.
"You mean before or after you turned into a digimon?" Zoe asked.
"Me? A digimon?" Takuya asked.
"Yes, through the process of digivolution." The chicken said as he walked by them looking like a professor giving a lecture.
"Digi-what? It had to be something I pressed." Takuya said as he started to push some buttons with a curious look, then got annoyed as started pushing buttons and hitting it.
"Come on, digivolution start! Operation! Turn me into a digimon!" he yelled.
Light and data then shot out of his D-Tector which made everyone jump back.
"Fractal Code: Render." The woman's voice said.
"Oh boy, I think I broke it." Takuya said.
"I knew it. It's the Fractal Code." The chicken said.
The data went over to the town and turned into a forest filled with houses which made the Poyomon and Pagumon all cheer happily as they started running to the forest.
"There's no way this is happening." JP said.
"Whoa, did I do all of this?" Takuya asked.
"It's the dawn of regeneration!" the chicken cried.
He and the bunny started going off to the forest, so the humans all ran off after them.
"No more living in a train station. Trailmon will never go 'Whoo whoo!' in my ear ever again." The bunny cheered.
"Nice going my human friend. By the way, I'm Bokomon; Keeper of the Book at your service." The chicken said.
"And I'm Neemon; keeper of my pants also at service you awesome human." The bunny said.
"On behalf of the Digital World, accept our thanks O' Human who has Restored what has been Lost." Bokomon said.
"Call me Takuya and I still don't know why all this Fractal Code stuff is such a big deal anyway." He said.
"What? You really don't know?" Bokomon asked.
"Ooh, he doesn't know." Neemon said.
"Hey, why are we running?" JP asked.
"I don't know." Zoe said.
They all then stopped as Bokomon pulled the Book out of his pink band.
"Behold! Before the evil Cherubimon came, our world was a beautiful place." He said.
"Flowers, trees and butterflies." Neemon said.
"Neemon, I'm in the middle of something here." Bokomon said.
"Sorry." Neemon sang.
"His power made many digimon go wild and our world started to die. The only way to bring back everything lost is with the Fractal Code." Bokomon explained.
"And I made it happen." Takuya said as he and the others pulled out their own D-Tectors.
"With this little device." He said making JP look up, then frown in thought.
"Wow, I wonder if I can do it too." Zoe said as she turned it over.
"Hmm, I know." JP said quietly as he looked at Tommy.
"Hey, Tommy." He whispered as he grabbed the boy and pulled him back.
"Our devices look the same." Zoe said as the others continued on.
"Maybe girls aren't meant to be digimon." Takuya said.
"Excuse you!" Zoe said annoyed.
"Actually, there are girl digimon like Angewomon, Lillymon and Birdramon." Veemon explained.
Zoe smirked at this while Takuya rolled his eyes at this, but then looked over to Dai who had been silent ever since she had been reminded about her horrible past.
It made him wonder if the reason she never spoke of her friends was because they were the Digidestinds and if something bad had happened.
They made it to a village with cute houses, then looked them over as the Poyomon played in the trees Veemon getting set down so that he could play with them.
Zoe looked over to Dai and then walked over to talk to her since she was the only other girl who was there.
"Hey, Dai. What happened when your team was in the Digital World, hmm?" she asked.
Avoiding her eyes, Dai turned away and just looked through the window of a house which put Zoe off.
"Hey, why are you ignoring me?" she frowned.
Takuya ran over and held his hands up.
"Easy there, girl. Dai just has some trust issues. It took me a while to get her to open up too." He said.
"Well, she was talking fine before." Zoe retorted.
"She wasn't talking to you, though. Just leave her alone and let her come around on her own." Takuya said.
"You never did that. You kept running after her and asking millions of questions until she got mad enough to snap at you and talk to make you shut up." Veemon reminded.
"You were there for that?" Takuya asked.
"I was always hiding in her backpack and sweater." The dragon said making Takuya sweat drop.
He then looked around curiously as he noticed two members of their group was missing.
"Hey, where's Tommy?" he asked.
"He's with JP I think." Zoe said as Bokomon opened up the window of the house Dai was staring into.
"Maybe they're playing hide and go seek." He suggested as Neemon stuck his head out next.
"Maybe they got eaten by a bunch of big ol' bears." The bunny said.
"Or maybe they made some big bad digimon mad and are running for their lives." Veemon pointed out.
"All right, now I'm worried." Zoe said.
"We better go look for them." Takuya said as he grabbed Dai's hand and pulled her off with him, Veemon following.
Zoe watched with her hands behind her head as the window fell on top of Bokomon and Neemon making them grunt before they joined in the search.
"Tommy! JP!"
"Tommy, where are you!"
"JP!"
They all looked called out for the two missing boys, but all they saw were tress, houses and Poyomon.
"Where could they be?" Zoe asked.
"Hey, Poyomon." Bokomon called making the white jellyfish stop and turn to them.
"Have you seen any human children?" he asked.
"We saw two being chased into the forest by Pagumon. Over there." The Poyomon said as they turned in the direction.
"Oh, that's worse than bears." Neemon said as his eyes bugged out.
"Pagumon?" Zoe asked.
"Nasty little digimon with bad attitudes." Bokomon explained.
"They're thieves and tricksters. Ya shouldn't trust them." Veemon commented.
Feeling worse about the situation, Takuya ran off to the forest as the others followed after him.
"Tommy!" Takuya yelled.
"Tommy! Answer me!" Zoe yelled.
"JP!" Takuya called.
"Ah, just as peaceful as I remember it, except for the screaming kids." Bokomon said.
"They are loud." Neemon said.
"Where'd they go? We've lost them!" Bokomon cried as he and Neemon ran off.
"Just follow the noise silly." Neemon said.
Dai rolled her eyes as she ran off in the direction the others had gone in, Veemon clinging to her shoulders as she caught up to Zoe and Takuya within thirty seconds which made them jump.
"How did she do that?" Zoe asked.
"I have no idea." Takuya said.
Shaking her head at this, Dai continued on to look for JP and Tommy while the goggle head and blonde talked behind her.
"Where could they have gotten off to?" Takuya asked.
"Poor Tommy, he's such a little guy. He didn't even wanna be here in the first place." Zoe said.
"Yeah, you're right. He really shouldn't be out without his parents." Takuya said making Dai roll her eyes.
"Hey, isn't Tommy the same age as Cody? I mean, Cody always went out without his mom and grandpa, so it's weird that Tommy is being treated differently." Veemon said to Dai.
"That's because he's probably a spoiled cry baby. He's just like Jun. all he has to do is ask for something and it's handed to him. I hate that. He's getting no sympathy for me. Tommy is a Digidestind and is gonna get treated like the rest of us. He shouldn't get special treatment because he's younger." Dai said.
Veemon smiled at this as he nodded.
She was right about this; Tommy shouldn't get special treatment just because he's younger because it wouldn't be fair to the other kids.
"I guess I'm just gonan have to keep my eye on him." They heard Takuya say as Zoe giggled.
"Look at you pretending to be all mature. How adorable." Zoe teased.
"Hey, what do you mean 'pretending'? I'm in the seventh grade." Takuya said defensively.
"Really, you're in the same grade that I am? Who'd have thought? I was sure you were two or three years younger at least." Zoe teased as the duo of Miracles turned to look at them.
"Wait a minute, what's that supposed to mean?" Takuya asked.
"When's your birthday?" Zoe asked.
"In August." Takuya said.
"Ha! I knew it. I am older. I was born in May. That makes me a grand total of three months older than you." Zoe smirked holding up three fingers.
Dai glared at the girl as she saw that Zoe was just like Yolei acting like a know it all and was better than anyone else.
"That doesn't mean anything." Takuya growled as he walked over to Dai and they walked off with Veemon close to them while Zoe followed.
"Whatever." Zoe giggled.
Takuya then stopped as he saw a green and white D-Tector on the ground and bent down to pick it up.
"Hey, check it out." Takuya said.
"That belongs to Tommy." Zoe gasped as she stepped closer to look.
Sadly, she slipped and grabbed on to the goggle head as they fell down into a hole making the duo of Miracles gasp as they fell down into the darkness.
"Seriously, I have a feeling these guys are gonna make me commit suicide." Dai said as she pulled off her sweater and then held it a different way so it would open up like a parachute.
Veemon jumped up and held onto her shoulders as she then jumped into the hole, the sweater catching the air and opening up like a parachute would as they floated down to where Zoe and Takuya were, both looking up to see the duo.
Bokomon and Neemon then fell down screaming.
Veemon and Dai held out the sweater like a net and caught the two Rookies making them sight in relief.
"Oh, bless you, child of Miracles. Bless you!" Bokomon exclaimed.
"Come on, we need to find Tommy and JP down here." Zoe said.
They all started walking down the underground room that had large heaters all over the place that were used to heat up Flame Terminal.
"Help! Anyone, please!" some cried.
"I wanna go home!" a younger voice yelled.
"It's Tommy and JP. We have to help them." Zoe said.
"I know that." Takuya said.
The two then glared at each other before they looked away.
"Oh, for the love-"Dai growled as she picked up Veemon and ran, leaving the arguing teens behind her so she didn't have to deal with their drama.
She had far too much drama to deal with for herself.
"Stupid Matt making me promise him to make a friend." She muttered.
"I thought you like Takuya." Veemon said.
"Not enough to go through this bull." Dai said.
Screaming was heard up ahead as Dai ran into a room to find a Raremon was there with JP, Tommy and that other boy from the train.
JP and Tommy went to run away, but the little boy tripped so bandana boy dropped his pole that was used as a weapon and recused Tommy before they were hit by the Acid Sludge that melted away the floor.
"Uh oh. This is bad. What do we do?" Veemon asked.
"I'll distract him and then you get him when he isn't looking." Dai said as she ran off.
"Hey, yo, raremon!" she called.
Raremon paused from chasing bandana boy and Tommy and turned to see the girl dressed in black who was smirking at him.
The raven and Tommy watched her curiously to see what she was going to do.
"Why ya going after the newbies? Afraid to take on someone with more experience? Catch me if ya can you pile of rotting sludge." Dai taunted.
Growling in annoyance, Raremon went after her and spewed out his acid at her but she dodged it all with great speed just as Takuya, Zoe, Bokomon and Neemon came in to see what was going on.
"Dude, you're so lame. Come on, try and get me." Dai taunted as she flipped away from another round of acid.
"Wow." Tommy said.
"She's acting differently." JP said.
Dai wound up next to Tommy and the raven as Raremon tried to corner them to the hole, but Veemon then jumped in making the Champion look down at him.
"Time to meet a real mon." Dai said as she pulled out her D-3 making the raven look at it.
"DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!"
"Veemon armour digivolve to…Flamedramon: the Fire of Courage!"
Everyone stared in awe at the new armour digimon while Bokomon had his Book out to read up on him.
"What happened to Veemon?" Zoe asked.
"He armour digivolved using the digi egg of Courage to become Flamedramon. His special attack is Fire Rocket and will char broil you like a steak." Bokomon said.
"Ooh, yum." Neemon said.
Flamedramon then charged at Raremon, sending him back into the wall as he started spewing acid around as Flamedramon jumped back and then used his Fire Rockets making Raremon cry out in pain.
"What? Am I too hot to handle?" Flamedramon smirked as he jumped back from another attack.
"Hold still!" Raremon roared as he spat out his acid.
It missed Flamedramon, but was heading over to the trio standing in front of the deep pit, Tommy and Dai diving to the floor while the raven leaned back to avoid getting hit, but tripped and went falling into the hole.
Gasping at this, Dai reached out and grabbed his arm making him look up at her as she was trying to pull him back up.
"This would be easier if you gave me your other hand." She commented.
He lifted up his other hand and she grabbed hold of it, pulling herself up as Flamedramon was still fighting Raremon.
Seeing his friend in trouble, Takuya then pulled out his D-Tector and started hitting buttons to try and get it to work.
"Man, work, already." He muttered.
"Execute: Spirit Evolution!"
"AGUNIMON!"
Agunimon then charged at Raremon, kicking him back into a wall, but the blob spewed out acid that went over to Dai as she was pulling the boy up, only to have her shoulder get hit and she screamed while the raven gasped at the scent of acid and burned flesh.
Tommy gasped as the two 13 year olds fell forward into the pit, Agunimon running over to try and help, but he transformed back to normal.
"Huh? I turned back into me. Oh, man. Flamedramon, we need your help!" Takuya cried to the dragon.
The two falling teens screamed as they fell down into the pit, darkness surrounding them, the raven pulling the girl closer, the stench of her wound making him sick, but she had tried to save him so he owed her some form of kindness before they died.
Just then, light appeared below the duo making them look down at the light as they saw the totem of a wolf man inside of it.
"What's going on here?" the male asked.
Light then flooded down into the hole as the totem started to rise up, the transparent form of a Humanoid wolf digimon appearing as it went over the sapphire eyed boy as spirals of white light shined in his eyes as Dai watched this in awe.
"SPIRIT!" bandana boy cried as he held out his white and dark blue D-Tector, sucking the totem up inside it.
"Execute: Spirit Evolution!"
"LOBOMON!"
Gasping at the sight of the bright red eyes staring down at her, Dai held on as the new Warriors started to float up out of the hole as the light reflected off of his armour, shining all around the room.
Flamedramon paused in his fight with Raremon as everyone stared at the wolf digimon and girl.
"Oh, wow." JP exclaimed.
"Man, did I look that cool?" Takuya asked.
"Mm hmm, yeah, but different." Tommy nodded.
Lobomon floated down to the ground as Flamedramon jumped over and held his arms out for his partner, the wolf handing the girl over.
"Thank you." the dragon said gratefully to him.
Lobomon gave a small grin as he nodded at him before looking over at Raremon.
"That's the Legendary Warrior of Light; Lobomon." Bokomon said as he checked the Book.
"I've never seen anything more beautiful in my whole life." Zoe sighed in awe.
"Me neither." JP said.
"You can say that again." Takuya said.
Raremon used his Acid Sludge as Lobomon pulled out his Lobo Kendo and charged out, slicing through the acid and then jumped up high, stabbing Raremon in the head making him cry out as purple sludge started to spew out of the Champion as Lobomon jumped away holding his D-Tector.
"Now you talking trash heap, prepare to be recycled. Fractal Code: Digitize!" he said as he downloaded Raremon's data into it and then the digi egg floated off.
"Moto bravisimo!" Zoe gushed.
Flamedramon set Dai down as he reverted back to Veemon while Lobomon returned to his human form, panting on his hands and knees.
"Not bad for your first evolution. Others have done way worse." Veemon smiled at the boy as he glanced over to the duo of Miracles.
Takuya felt jealously at how his friend had been held in the arms of a total stranger, but pushed it down as he ran over with Tommy to check on them.
"Hey, you OK? Let me help you up." Takuya offered as he reached his hand out.
"Don't touch me." the raven growled out making the goggle head jump back startled.
"I don't need your help or anyone else's." He said before he stood up.
"I'll try not to be offended by that." Dai muttered as she tenderly touched her wound only to flinch as the scent made her sick and the fact that her skin was still sizzling.
"But I guess I should thank you for saving me. I always repay my depts." The raven said.
"I didn't do it so you'd owe me ya know." Takuya said.
"Who said I was talking to you?" the raven scowled at the goggle head before he looked over to the duo of Miracles.
"My name's Koji Minamoto and you are?" he asked.
"Daisuke Motomiya." She said.
"Veemon." The dragon smiled.
"Daisuke, Veemon. See ya." Koji said as he walked off with a curt wave of his hand.
The others walked over as they watched him walk off on his own.
"What's his deal?" JP asked as he folded his arms behind his head.
"Come on, guys, let's get out of here. This place smells like dead fish." Zoe said.
Bokomon went over to Dai and grabbed her hand making her look down at him.
"Let me see your wound. It needs to be tended to properly before you get an infection." He said.
Nodding, Dai sat down as everyone watched her take off her sweater, the girl trying to not hiss as her wound hurt from her sweater being pulled off since the acid made it stick to her flesh.
The humans looked close to vomiting at the sight of the dark red burn that had green slime mixed in with blood.
"Oh, my. You're lucky to be alive. No human could have survived this." Bokomon said as he reached into his pouch and pulled out a first aid kit.
"Will she be OK?" Veemon asked.
"Let me get to work first." Bokomon said.
He then started to clean the wound while the other humans looked away, Takuya feeling guilty that he had jumped in and made Raremon shoot out his attacks all over the place that it hit Dai.
After the wound was cleaning, Bokomon then proceeded to stich it up which made Dai grit her teeth from the pain of the needle piecing her skin and JP turned pale as he passed out from the sight.
Bokomon then put some cream over the stitch job, then finally put on a patch to cover it.
"There. We'll just have to check on it again in a few hours and change the bandage to clean the wound to make sure there'll be no infection." He said proudly.
"Thanks, Bokomon." Dai smiled at him as she grabbed her sweater.
"Oh, if I may, I would like to wash that and sew it up. The scent wouldn't be very pleasant to have around." Bokomon said.
"You're pretty good at sewing." Neemon commented.
"Of course." Bokomon said smiling as he took the sweater and checked the hole out as he led the group out, Takuya lugging the unconscious JP with him.
"I did make this belly band myself after all so it would hold everything I would need." Bokomon said.
The group all walked out into the sunshine and fresh air, the sweet scent of the wind blowing around them as Zoe's hair glowed gold in the sunlight while Dai's hair turned dark red.
Everyone sat down by a lake and under the trees to rest up as Bokomon cleaned the sweater and then started sewing it up while Dai leaned up against a tree with Veemon sat in her lap.
Tommy nervously walked over to the duo.
"Um…" he said making them look at him.
"Does…does your arm hurt?" he asked pointing to the bandage.
"Not that bad now." Dai said.
"Oh. I'm sorry. It's my fault you got it. You came in to save me and got hurt because of it." he said looking down sadly with tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry. I've gotten hurt plenty of times before and it wasn't your fault. You don't have to cry for this. I'm not mad. If I was, I'd be yelling at you." Dai said giving him a smile.
"Oh yes she would. It doesn't matter how old you are, she'll yell at ya if she's mad at ya." Veemon giggled.
Tommy smiled at this knowing that Dai wasn't made at him especially after risking her life for him and Koji from a monster that terrified him like Raremon.
He wished he was as brave as she was.
"Ah, finished!" Bokomon cheered as he skipped over to Dai as JP woke up and looked over to where the girl was as she accepted her sweater and then slid it on to hide her wound.
"So…now what do we do?" JP asked.
