Digimon Frontier-Episode 2: Lobomon: Warrior of Light, Yumon: A Demon's Servant
"Everybody in town was getting these strange messages on their cell-phones. Takuya, being a Goggle-Head, followed the directions and this other kid, Koji, and ended up with Jade, JP, Zoe, Tommy and Alex on a train to the Digital World. Tommy wanted to go home, but he picked a really stupid way to do it. Takuya and Jade tried to rescue him, but things got a little out of control. Bokomon and Neemon were running away from Cerberumon, a Digimon who was trying to destroy something called a 'Spirit'. To make a long story short, Takuya merged with the ancient Spirit of Flame and turned into Agunimon. Not bad, for a Goggle-Head."
Once everyone was down there, Takuya was even more confused.
Jade had explained what had happened, but he didn't clearly remember it all.
"What just happened to me?" The male brunette asked, since he was still confused.
"You mean, before or after you turned into a Digimon?" Zoe asked, with a hand on her hip.
"Me? A Digimon?" Takuya asked, making sure he understood.
"Yes. Through the proses of Digivolution." Bokomon stated, in a matter of fact.
He even walked in-front of them with one of his fingers raised.
"Digi-what?" Jade and Takuya asked, in confusion.
"It had to be something I pressed." The male brunette thought out-load and pressed one of the buttons on his D-tector.
Nothing happened.
Takuya gave it a funny look, while Jade stood up straight and hummed in thought, placing a fist to her mouth.
"Come on! Digivolution start! Operation: Turn me into a Digimon-" Takuya's frantic attempt to evolve, was cut off.
Suddenly, after he pressed one of the buttons, his D-tector shot out Data.
"Fractal Code: Rendered." The woman's voice said.
Neemon's eyes became dinner-plates and he gasped.
"Oh boy, I think I broke it." Takuya panicked.
Jade didn't know why, but seeing the Data float away…
Gave her a good feeling.
Like something she cared about greatly, that had gone missing, was found once again.
It made her smile.
"I knew it! It's the Fractal Code!" Bokomon claimed.
The Data floated downwards and connected the floating island, known as Flame Terminal, to the mainland.
Everyone gasped in astonishment as a lush forest appeared where the Data had gone.
"There's no way this is happening." JP gasped, unbelievingly.
"Well wake up and smell the coffee, JP. That just happened." Jade smirked and to etherise her point, she pointed at the forest when she said 'that'.
"I can't wait to go play!" Alex smiled, excitedly.
Takuya got up and walked over to the other humans.
"Whoa. Did I do all that?" He gasped, looking freaked out and confused.
"Looks like it." Jade thought, shrugging off the feeling she had that they weren't alone.
After everyone climbed up, all the Digimon were stampeding to get to the forest, so the humans shrugged and followed them.
"It's the dawn of regeneration!" Bokomon screamed in happiness.
"No more living in a train-station!" Neemon agreed.
Jade and Alex smiled at how happy all the Digimon were.
They couldn't help but feel like the Digital World had suddenly become their new home, even though they had barley been there 5 minutes.
"Trailmon will never go 'WOO-WOO' in my ear again!" The rabbit added.
Jade and Alex laughed at that statement.
"Poor Neemon." They thought, giggling.
"Nice going my human friend! By the way, I'm Bokomon: Keeper of the Book, at your service." The white mutant said, turning to face them and smiled.
"And I'm Neemon: Keeper of my pants, also at your service, you awesome human!" The rabbit smiled, also turning to look at them.
"On behalf of the Digital World, except our thanks, oh human who has restored what has been lost." Bokomon thanked, being very respectful of Takuya.
"Call me Takuya and I still don't know why all this 'Fractal Code' stuff is such a big deal, anyway." The male brunette told them, lightly panting.
"What? You really don't know?" Bokomon asked, not believing his ears.
"Oh he doesn't know." Neemon sang.
"Well, in our defence, we've only been here not even half-an-hour." Alex panted.
"He's right. We can't already know everything about a place we only just arrived at." Jade agreed.
"Although, I feel like I've been here before." She thought, silently.
"Hey. Why are we running?" JP asked, sending Zoe a flirty smile.
"I don't know." Zoe whispered, ignoring the flirt.
Then, Bokomon stopped running and pulled a book out of his waist band.
"Behold! Before the evil Cherubimon came, our world was a beautiful place." Bokomon began, showing the group a page in his book as they began walking.
"Flowers, trees and butterflies." Neemon added, merrily.
"Neemon! I'm in the middle of something here!" Bokomon scolded, glaring at the rabbit.
"Sorry!" Neemon sang.
"His power made many Digimon go wild and our world started to die. The only way to bring back everything that was lost, is with the Fractal Code." Bokomon explained, as they crossed a narrow land-bridge.
"And I made it happen. With this little devise." Takuya gasped, looking at his D-tector in astonishment.
"Nice job, Takuya! Welcome to the infamous biasness of saving the world!" Jade smiled and slapped his back.
"Huh?" JP asked, wondering what she was talking about.
"Wow. I wonder if I could do it too." Zoe thought out-load, looking at her D-tector as she pointed it at the sun.
JP frowned.
"I'm sure we all can. After all, we all have a D-tector." Alex pointed out.
"Not you bro, remember. You got a D-3." Jade reminded him, smiling kindly.
"Then I guess I won't be Spirit Evolving anytime soon." The male blonde laughed.
"Maybe." The female brunette told him, grinning.
"I know." JP muttered and grinned.
He looked at Tommy, who was looking at his D-tector in excitement.
"Hey, Tommy!" JP whispered and pulled him back.
"Our devises look the same." Zoe said, comparing her D-tector to Takuya's.
"Maybe girls just aren't meant to be Digimon." Takuya teased.
"I wouldn't say that out-loud, man. Don't forget that my sis could kill you in a heartbeat if you got her mad enough." Alex warned, not liking the mental image.
"Yeah. Excuse you!" Zoe agreed.
No one but Jade noticed what was happening behind them, so she told her brother she'd be back in a minute and ran over to the two boys.
"Hey shorty. I have an idea." JP told him.
"What is it, Jp?" Jade asked, slightly confused.
"Just follow me, okay?" JP said, sternly.
The two nodded and walked in silence…
…Until they made it to the land bridge. That's when JP spoke.
"This place sucks. It sucks with teeth!" JP commented, harshly.
"Resisting urge to strangle." Jade thought, her eye twitching and hands flexing.
"You with me guys?" JP asked, a cool tone in his voice.
"No." Jade muttered, growling.
"Yeah, well I guess so, but…" Tommy trailed and stopped.
JP and Jade also stopped.
"But? But what?" JP asked.
"When Takuya turned into a Digimon, he looked killer cool! Just like a super hero!" Tommy said, excitedly holding his D-tector up with both hands.
"He wasn't that great." JP gagged, unimpressed.
"Yes he was." Jade teased, grinning.
"Someone is very jealous." She mentally sang.
"I… I always wanted to be a hero." Tommy confessed.
"Me too, kid. Me too." Jade thought sadly, as she held her arm, remembering her parents.
"Wow Jay-Girl! You sure are getting strong! I'm so proud of you!" Her father would say and then start gently throwing her in the air and catching her, both laughing.
"Kid take it from me, this hero stuff, is way over-rated and I should know." JP advised.
"What? Did you save someone?" Jade thought, forgetting to ask it out-loud.
"It's entirely too much work, it's dangerous, not to mention annoying. There's always some sap yelling 'oh save me! Save me'!" JP told them, discouraging Tommy and getting Jade peeved.
"Well, I guess so." The discouraged Tommy sighed.
"Atta boy. What do ya say we find our way outta this dump?" JP asked, dragging Tommy along by his hand.
"Listen here, JP." Jade warned.
JP and Tommy stopped to look at her.
"My parents have been heroes in more ways than one, since they were 15-years-old. And what you just said, greatly disrespected them. So if I were you, I'd change my attitude, pal!" Jade warned, glaring deadly daggers at JP.
"You're parents are heroes?" Tommy asked, amazed.
"Yeah, they were. But you probably should go back home, I guess. This place is dangerous and I'd hate myself forever if something bad happened to you, Tommy." Jade said, having calmed down.
The boys nodded and began to walk around town.
Eventually, they came across one of the Pagumon, sitting on an oven from Victorian times.
"Yo, Tommy, Jade. Check this little guy out." JP chuckled.
"Oh Obelisk." Jade thought, sweating.
"Hey! Egg-shaped dude with ears! What's shaking?" JP asked, attempting to sound cool.
The Pagumon looked at him, annoyance in his eyes.
"Listen, this world of yours isn't really our scene, thing is we don't know how to leave. So what do ya say? Could ya help us out?" JP asked, sounding cool.
"Buzz off!" Pagumon groaned, turning his head/body.
"I'll make it worth your while." JP grinned and dug into his pockets.
Pagumon gave him a curious look, while Jade started to get a bad feeling…
A very bad feeling.
JP pulled out a chocolate bar, opened it and snapped off two pieces, grinning like a fool.
"How about a bar of premium chocolate?" JP asked, sounding like a briber.
Suddenly, Pagumon jumped down and chomped it right out of his hand, making the humans yell in fright.
Pagumon landed on the ground, behind them.
"Alright, egg-face, talk to me and you get the whole bar." JP said, slight disapproval in his voice, as he bent on his knees.
Pagumon chewed on it for a minute or two more, then grinned and turned to face them.
"Take Angler the Trailmon at the station. He can take you two back where you came from." Pagumon told them, a sick grin on his face.
"Wow, for real?" Tommy asked, smiling excitedly.
"Now fork it over!" Pagumon snapped, grinning.
"Thanks, bud!" JP said, merrily.
He left the chocolate on the ground and started running like a fool, with Tommy running next to him and Jade was a little bit behind.
Eventually, they ran too far ahead of Jade, so she lost sight of them.
She took a detour and bumped into someone, knocking them both to the ground.
"Sorry! I should be more careful!" Jade grinned sheepishly.
She heard a soft chuckle and saw a hand extended to her. Jade looked at it curiously, then took it and was pulled up.
"Thanks man!" Jade said, cheerfully and finally looked at the face of her helper.
Bandana-boy.
"Hey! You're the guy from the elevator!" Jade pointed out, gasping.
Bandana-boy nodded.
"Well, I hope to see ya again soon! I gotta catch up with some idiots that were running like fools. Have you seen them?" Jade asked, still holding Bandana-Boy's hand.
He nodded and pointed towards the train-station with his other hand.
"Thanks man!" She yelled as she ran off to catch up with Tommy and JP, while she heard the other boy chuckle.
Jade laughed to herself.
"Not only does he look like him, but he talks as much as he does, too." She smiled to herself, remember someone.
His face had light skin, was framed by dark-blue hair he inherited from his father, could be in a ponytail if it were any longer and his eyes were like his mother's, sapphire bright.
"Miss ya… Zack Satoshi Truesdale." She muttered, sad tears threatening to fall.
When she reach the train-station, she saw Tommy and JP running as fast as they could, screaming their heads off as they were chased by Pagumon.
"What the heck did you guys do!?" Jade screamed, as she ran.
Meanwhile, in the forest with Takuya, Zoe, Alex, Bokomon and Neemon, the small group of Pagumon that was with them were admiring all the space they now had, while Zoe was tapping on a window, Alex played tag with the Poyomon and Takuya finally noticed something.
"Hey, where's Tommy?" He asked, looking over to Zoe for the answer.
"He's with JP and Jade, I think." Zoe answered.
"Maybe they're playing hide and go seek." Bokomon suggested, popping through the window Zoe had been tapping on.
"Maybe they got eaten by a bunch of big ol' bears." Neemon chirped, also popping out of the window.
"Alright, now I'm worried." Zoe said, taking a breath.
"Jay-Gal's not back yet?" Alex asked, fear in his eyes as he walked over to Takuya.
Takuya crossed his arms, in a thoughtful way.
"We better go look for 'em." He suggested.
Alex nodded.
Zoe stood up, with her hands behind her head, while the window fell on top of the rabbit and mutant.
Back with the 3 brunettes, they were running for their lives, as they crossed the bridge.
The Pagumon were still after them and would occasionally catch up and bite them hard, but whenever Jade's eyes changed to gold, it seemed they'd back off for a couple minutes.
But every time that happened, Jade would get super tiered and if this kept up, she was going to collapse.
Someone had to save them!
Meanwhile, with the 2 blondes and brunette, the worried group of friends were calling the missing humans' names as loud as they could.
"Where could they be?" Zoe whimpered in fear as she looked around.
"JADEDENA JUDAI YUKI, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Alex screamed at the top of his lunges while cupping his hands around his mouth.
"Hey, Poyomon!" Bokomon sang, gaining the marshmallows' attention.
"Have you seen any human children?" The Keeper of the Book asked, in a sing-song way.
"We saw 3 being chased into the forest by Pagumon. Over there." All the Poyomon said and looked behind them.
Neemon's eyes became dinner plates.
"That's worse than bears." The rabbit sweated, worry in his slit eyes.
"Pagumon?" Zoe asked, kneeling to Bokomon's level.
"Jade already told us what they are! These guys should listen more!" Alex thought, pouting that he was the only one who listened to her.
"Nasty little Digimon with bad attitudes." Bokomon told the blonde, turning his head to look at her.
Takuya got a frown on his face.
Back with the brunette trio, they were able to lose the Pagumon and were hiding behind a small ledge…
Much to Jade's silent relief.
She was almost falling asleep, but Tommy made sure she didn't fall asleep.
"Ah! Ah! Come on, make me Digivolve! Make me Digivolve now!" Tommy begged, as he rapidly pressed the buttons on his D-tector.
"Keep it down!" JP hushed, being a look out and turning his head left and right.
"I am keeping it down, but I wanna Digivolve like Takuya so we can beat them." Tommy protested, stubbornly.
"That's crazy talk! What do ya think a little runt like you can do?" JP snapped, bending down and making a fist.
"Apparently more than you." Jade muttered, but neither of them heard her.
"Besides, Digivolving looks kind of painful, did you ever think about that?" JP continued, sassily.
"I bet Digivolving isn't as painful as getting eaten alive by those crazy Digimon." Tommy shot back, equally as sassy.
"You two are acting just like two of my old friends, you know." Jade chuckled, imagining the faces of her old friends.
One of them had a bush baby-blue hair he inherited from his father, sky-blue eyes that same from his mother and light skin. This friend was a boy.
While the other had long and braded black hair, sea-blue eyes and deeply tanned skin. This friend was also a boy.
"Hey, Jade. Are you okay? You look tiered." Tommy asked in worry, taking a glance at her.
"I'm fine, just need to take a break." She lied.
JP bent down and placed his hand on her forehead.
"Well, you're burning up, so that's not good. Are you sure you're okay though?" He asked, making eye contact with Jade.
"Yeah, I am a little tiered. But I'll live." Jade admitted, smiling reassuringly at him.
Then, they heard chuckling. With a dreaded look on their faces, they turned to look at what caused the laughter.
Pagumon.
They screamed and started running, but JP tripped and a hole in the ground swallowed them whole, Tommy accidentally dropping his D-tector.
They landed in a pile of leaves, hard.
"Boys! Are you okay?" Jade yelled, franticly.
She tried to get up and run over to them, but a sharp pain in her ankle, forced her to her knees.
"Yeah, we're fine." JP told her, looking around.
"Jade!" Tommy gasped and ran over to her.
"I'm okay, Tom. Just a sprained ankle." She smiled, reassuringly but pain was in her voice.
"Here. Let me help ya." JP offered and lifted one of Jade's arms over his neck, while Tommy put his head under her other arm.
"Thanks guys." She smiled and they started walking away.
Back with Takuya and the others, they were still searching for their friends.
"Tommy!" Takuya yelled, cupping his hands.
"Tommy!" Zoe yelled, also cupping her hands.
"JP!" Takuya screamed, turning his head.
"Answer me!" Zoe screamed, also turning her head.
"JADEDENA, WHERE ARE YOU!" Alex shrieked, running around like mad-man while using her full first name then taking a break.
"Ahhhh. Just as peaceful as I remember it. Except for the screaming kids." Bokomon sighed, looking up at the sky.
"They are loud." Neemon agreed, looking down at his partner.
"What do you expect? Our friends and my sister are gone!" Alex yelled at them and ran to try and catch up with Takuya and Zoe.
After a while, Alex court up to them, but decided to give them some alone time and just stalk them.
He was, after all, his Uncle's Nephew.
"Where could they have gotten off to?" Takuya thought out-load, hands in his pockets.
"Poor Tommy, he's such a little guy. He didn't even want to be here in the first place." Zoe pitied, sympathetically.
"Yeah, you're right. He really shouldn't be out without his parents. I guess I'm just gonna have to keep my eye on him." Takuya agreed, looking at the ground as they walked.
Zoe giggled.
"Look at you, pretending to be all mature, how adorable!" She gushed, giddily.
Behind the tree, Alex sniggered.
"Hey! What do ya mean 'pretending'? I'm in the 6th grade!" Takuya pouted, giving Zoe an accusing look.
"Really? You're in the same grade as I am?" Zoe questioned, teasingly.
Takuya gave her a clueless look, once she turned away from him, walking sassily with her hands behind her back.
"Who've thought? I was sure you were 2 or 3 years younger, at least." Zoe grinned, cheekily and turned around.
"Wait a minute! What's that support to mean?!" Takuya asked, pouting.
"When's your birthday?" Zoe asked, with a knowing grin.
"In August!" The Goggle-Head pouted.
"Ha! I knew it! I am older! I was born in May! That makes me a grand total of 3 months older than you!" The female blonde grinned and held up 3 fingers to emphasis her point.
Takuya gritted his teeth, but quickly stopped himself.
"That doesn't mean anything!" He shot back and walked towards her.
"Whatever." She sang and giggled.
They walked in silence for two minutes, until Takuya noticed something on the ground.
"Hey, check it out." Takuya said, as he picked up the object.
"That belongs to Tommy!" Zoe gasped.
She walked over to take a better look, but she slipped on the edge. Out of instinct, she wrapped her arms around the nearest thing to try and stop her fall.
Takuya.
However, since he wasn't expecting it, he was pulled down with her, both screaming for their lives.
Alex gasped and jumped over, but not into the hole.
"ARE YOU GUYS OKAY!?" He yelled, getting on his knees and looking down into the hole.
"Whoa." Alex gasped, flinching back.
Zoe looked so fearful and had put her hands on Takuya's shoulders, as if about to kiss him.
"Should I leave you two alone?" Alex asked, grinning mischievously.
"WH-NO WAY! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Zoe yelled, blushing like crazy.
"Whoa! Easy girl! No need to scream." Alex chuckled, waving his hands in a surrender fashion and went to get Bokomon and Neemon.
Meanwhile, Jade was able to walk on her own again, but Tommy still held her hand.
Jade had been in a similar situation when she was Tommy's age and knew how scared he was, so she just let him hold her hand and would squeeze it, gently, every now and then, letting him know it was going to be alright.
JP still had some of the leaves from before with him, so he used them to find out which direction the wind was blowing.
"The wind's blowing in this direction, so if we walk this way, we should find a way out." He theorised as they walked down a path.
"Are you sure?" Tommy asked, looking at the older boy curiously.
"Yeah, why?" JP asked, stopping to face the 8-year-old.
Jade and Tommy stopped, too.
"So there's no chance that we're walking around in circles?" The little boy asked, looking up at his older female friend.
"Well, now that you mention it, it sure feels like it." Jade muttered, nodding to her younger friend.
"What gave you guys that idea?" JP asked, sounding some-what insulted.
"This cross, here." Tommy explained and pointed at the wall on his left.
Jade looked and saw it was the cross she and Tommy had made when they started out.
She silently groaned.
"So it's a cross, so what?" JP huffed, unimpressed.
"Well, Jade helped me draw it when we started out." Tommy clarified, turning his head back to JP.
JP jumped back in shock and Jade sighed.
"Oh, that means we're lost. We'll be stuck down here for days." The little brunette cried.
"That's if we're lucky, it could be months." The large brunette added, bitterly.
Tommy started crying. Again.
"Not again." JP sighed, giving Tommy a look.
Jade sighed sadly and bent down to Tommy's level, bringing him into a gentle huge as he cried on her shoulder.
"Here, this'll make you feel better." The large brunette sighed, handing Tommy a chocolate bar.
Tommy looked up from Jade's shoulder and looked at the bar.
"Go on." JP insisted, not looking at the younger male brunette's face.
Tommy, hesitantly, took the bar from him while JP got himself his own bar.
They opened their respective bars, while Jade let go of Tommy and stood up, preparing to use her gold eyes at a moment's notice.
"Look on the bright side, at least we won't starve to death." JP reassured his companions, looking up from his chocolate.
Tommy and JP shared a look, then smiled and were about to chomp on their bars when….
"Guys, we got company." Jade warned them, staring up at the ceiling in slight horror.
That's when they noticed the whispers, stopped smiling and looked up at the ceiling.
There were multiple sets of red beady eyes and suddenly, a Pagumon jumped down smirking as he yelled "We're back" and the rest of his friends joined him.
The humans yelled and cried as they tried to get the little creatures of them.
"NO!" Jade's mind screamed.
Her eyes shifted from brown to gold once again and that seemed to create an invisible bobble that she willed to protected Tommy and JP from the attack, while she took them full-force.
"Here! Just take 'em!" JP cried and began to run away.
He threw 3 chocolate bars at the Pagumon, distracting them long enough for Tommy, JP and Jade to get away, the girl nearly collapsing from all the energy she had used and pain her body was in.
As they ran, they found themselves in a large dome-like room, filled with pips and had a large whole in the middle.
"HEPL! SOMEBODY!" JP screamed, running as fast as he could.
"I'M NOT A CHOCOLATE BAR!" Tommy yelled, also running for his life.
Jade wanted to scream and yell for her life, but she barely had the energy to run, let along run, scream and protect her friends.
Meanwhile, Takuya, Zoe, Alex, Bokomon and Neemon all heard their friends' screams and gasped.
"It's Tommy and JP!" Alex yelled, frightened since he didn't hear his sister's voice.
"We have to help them!" Zoe stated, looking at the two boys.
"I know that!" Takuya huffed, stubbornly.
The male brunette and female blonde glared at each other.
Alex groaned.
"You guys can have your lover's spat later! Right now we need to save our friends!" He hissed and started running.
Takuya and Zoe looked at him in shock and rage, not liking that comment about their 'lover's spat'.
"Alex, my boy, wait up!" Bokomon called, as he and Neemon chased the blonde male.
After sharing a quick look, Zoe and Takuya nodded to each other and started running.
Meanwhile, the 3 brunettes were still being attacked by the Pagumon.
Jade was using all her strength to protect Tommy and JP, but it wasn't working too well and Jade knew that if she kept using this much energy, she was about to drop.
But she still tried, for her friends' sake.
Suddenly, a battle cry was heard, distracting the Pagumon and Jade, forcing her eyes to shift back to brown and she wobbled.
She looked up and saw a figure, standing by one of the polls, smirking with pride.
"Bandanna-Boy?" Jade gasped, squinting her eyes.
The Pagumon growled and attacked the new comer.
"NO!" Jade cried in worry.
She tried to run towards them, but she put her injured foot forward first and fell on her knees, clasping her injured ankle in pain.
Meanwhile, Bandanna-Boy broke the poll he had slid down and prepared for battle.
The Pagumon tried to attack him, but he used the poll to defend himself. At one point, the Pagumon surrounded him, but with one kick, they all let go of him.
"Who's that?" Tommy gasped in awe.
"That guy's serious!" JP praised, excitedly.
By now, the pain in her ankle wasn't too bad, so Jade managed a small smirk.
"I guess he's good." She admitted, casually.
The ponytailed Warrior continued with his attack, smacking the Pagumon with his poll and almost never letting the little Lesser types get too close to him.
At one point, they surrounded him again, but by using his poll and spinning, he sent them all flying away and crashing into the wall, the leader being sent to the ceiling and crashed down again.
The boy smirked and put his poll by his side.
Jade smiled.
"Oh yeah, he's Zack's clone alright." She stated, prideful and confident.
"I never realised how much I missed you, man." She thought sadly and turned her vision to the ground.
"Oh yeah, human?"
Pagumon's pained and angered voice snapped Jade out of her thoughts and she looked at the little creature, praying that whatever would happen next, wouldn't be too bad.
"Don't smile yet!" Pagumon cried.
Suddenly, he was wrapped in Data and Jade became very fearful for the boy who saved her and her friends' lives.
When the Data disappeared, Pagumon had turned into a large bag of grey slop with dark metal plates with eyes on his head, hideous teeth and a few cables popping out of his side.
JP and Tommy screamed.
"I'll eat you up." The slop pile growled.
Bandanna-Boy grunted and went into battle once again.
Jade checked her D-tector for answers, hoping against hope that whatever that thing was now, wasn't too powerful.
"Raremon. If the smell of its rotting flesh doesn't knock you out, it's Acid Slug attack will. Champion level, Ghost type and his attacks include Stinking Gas, Metal Gas, Acid Slug and Rotten Tackle." Jade read out-loud.
She looked at Bandanna-Boy in worry.
Suddenly, Jade saw Raremon was gonna attack her and the others.
"Run boys!" She cried in fear.
Jade grabbed Tommy's hand and started running, JP ahead of the duo while Raremon glared at Jade.
The Digimon knew there was something different about her but he didn't like it.
While they ran and dodged Raremon's attacks, Tommy tripped and fell down, bringing Jade down behind him.
Seeing his chance, Raremon sent a wave of acid at the fallen duo.
"TOMMY!" Jade screamed in fear.
She picked herself up off the floor, getting to her knees, but she wasn't fast enough to reach Tommy.
Suddenly, she felt a hand grip her arm and pulled her along, helping her get to Tommy in time.
She picked him up and jumped the rest of the attack, just barely making it and landing on all fours.
Turning around, Jade saw it was Bandanna-Boy who had saved her and that Raremon's attack had made at least 17 clean cuts in the ground.
Tommy whimpered in fear as he clung to Jade like a life-line and Bandanna boy glared at the holes.
"ACID SLUG!" Raremon roared and shot out more of his acid at the fallen trio.
Jade yelped as Bandanna-Boy pulled her to her feet and they started running again, the other Pagumon cheering and Tommy whimpering as they ran around in circles, Jade holding him tightly with one arm while the other was being yanked by Bandanna-Boy.
Meanwhile, by the door, Takuya, Alex, Zoe, Bokomon and Neemon appeared, the blonde girl immediately covering her nose.
"EWW! It smells!" Zoe whimpered in disgust.
Alex gasped.
"JADE!" He cried, shock and worry in his tone.
Alex tried to run, but JP, who was by the door, stopped him by grabbing his waist.
"Are you crazy?!" JP yelled, struggling to hold the boy still.
Alex kicked and squirmed, but he couldn't break-free from JP's grip.
"Spirit! Wake up! I need you!" Takuya said, taking out his D-tector and looking at it.
Nothing happened.
"Come on! I'm not kidding here!" The Goggle-Head insisted, pressing buttons on his D-tector.
Still, nothing.
Takuya growled as he tried to evolve.
"Hey Takuya, no offence, but you may want to think about Spirit Evolving before stinky there turns your friends into goop." Bokomon advised, as Takuya continued to try in vain.
Meanwhile, Bandanna-Boy, Jade and Tommy were trapped with Raremon in-front, a hole behind them and were being backed towards the hole, death anyway they went.
"Going somewhere?" Raremon taunted, gruffly.
Jade knew there was nothing she could do.
If she used her powers, in just 5 second flat, she's pass out and worsen the situation. She couldn't run, she used up all her energy just trying to avoid Raremon and she couldn't help Bandanna-Boy at all.
"Come on! Come on!" Takuya cried, as sweat poured down his face.
Jade and Bandanna-Boy continued to back up, until Jade tripped and nearly fell in the hole, but Bandanna-Boy grabbed her wrist, stopping her and Tommy from falling.
With nowhere left to run, Jade got on her knees and held Tommy close to her, protectively and he clung to her shirt with worried tears falling down his face, while Jade glared at Raremon and Bandanna-Boy also got on his knees, glaring at the slop.
Jade was afraid she would die and let everybody down.
She wouldn't get to know her new friends, would never see her old ones again, she still hadn't found her parents who still needed her and she'd failed her brother.
"I'm sorry guys." Jade though in anguish, remember all of her friends' and families' faces.
But then, her eyes fell upon her father's face and she opened them, new found strength and determination in her eyes.
"No… It's not over yet and I refuse to give up." She promised herself, mentally.
Meanwhile, Alex could only think of one thing to do and he prayed that it worked.
"SPIRIT!" He and Takuya cried, hoping against hope that it would work.
And finally, it did.
Takuya became Agunimon and charged Raremon, pinning him against the wall.
Enraged, Raremon squirted his Acid Slug everywhere, trying to hit his attacker.
Agunimon jumped back and used his gauntlets to deflect the acid that came towards the two brunettes and one raven-bluenette he was protecting.
"Now's your chance! Run!" Agunimon yelled, turning to face the threesome.
Suddenly, Agunimon was wrapped in the Data and turned back into Takuya.
"Huh? What's going on? I turned back into me." Takuya gasped, looking himself over as the trio stood up.
Suddenly, the dark room was eliminated in light as Raremon's acid made servile holes in the walks and the group gasped in awe.
"Still here." Raremon sang, getting up.
He spat out more of his acid towards the group of 4.
"Watch out!" Takuya cried, pushing Tommy to the ground in order to protect him.
Accidentally, while pushing Tommy to the ground, Takuya knocked over Bandanna-Boy, making him fall into the hole.
"NO!" Jade screamed, horror on her face.
She lunged towards the edge and grabbed the boy's wrist before he could fall to his doom.
Bandanna-Boy gasped, rather shocked and impressed with the female brunette's strength and agility.
"Gimme your other hand!" Jade cried, a pleading and desperate look in her eyes.
He nodded and reached his hand towards Jade's other hand as she reach down towards him.
Once she had a firm grip on his hands, Jade haled him up, surprisingly finding it easy considering how much energy she had used during the day.
It must have been adrenalin.
Suddenly, Raremon shot his attack at the group again.
"JADE! LOOK OOOOOOOUUUUUUUT!" Alex cried, tears running down his face.
Jade didn't even have time to look up.
The ball of acid rammed into her shoulder, pushed her of the edge, forcing her and Bandanna-Boy to fall to their doom.
"Oh no!" Takuya gasped, looking up from his spot on the floor.
Tommy looked up and gasped.
"SSSSSSIIIIIISSSSSSSSSYYYYYY!" Alex cried in anguish.
Raremon spat his acid one more time, making it hit the ceiling and creating a hole that shone light into the hole that Jade and her companion had fallen in.
As Jade and Bandanna-Boy fell to their doom, he grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
The smell of the acid and melting flesh was making him sick, but he wanted to at least provide some comfort for this stranger, since she had risking so much just to save his life.
In response, Jade clenched the boy's shirt, feeling the tears filling up her eyes and escape into the sky.
"Thank you." She murmured, eyes still shut tight.
The boy nodded and tightened the embrace while Jade's hands went to the boy's neck, holding on to it as if it was a life-line.
Then, they suddenly sensed something and looked down.
Beneath them was two statues.
One looked like a humanoid-wolf wearing white armour with blue lines and the other looked like a humanoid dragon using its wings to shield itself.
"What's going on here?" Bandanna-Boy gasped, feeling power flowing through him.
"I don't know." Jade gasped, also feeling the power.
"Jadedena."
Jade world her head around, looking for the source of the voice.
"Yubel?" She gasped, recognising the voice of her second mother/father's other half.
"Yes, now listen closely. You cannot die here, nor will I let you die here. Jadedena, I will offer you my powers, but you must use them wisely. Your parents are still alive and they need you to save them. Do you accept?"
Jade nodded her head, new found strength filling her.
"I do, Yubel." She murmured.
"Then, get ready."
Jade braced herself and suddenly, her D-tector went off.
She pulled it out of her blazer pocket and pointed it at the statue of the half-dragon while Bandanna-Boy pointed his at the statue of the wolf.
"SPIRIT!" They both cried.
Suddenly, the boy's D-tector shot out a white line of light that downloaded the wolf armour while the girl's D-tector shot out a black-inky line of darkness that downloaded the half-dragon.
"It is time." The woman from before said.
"EXACUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" The duo cried.
Suddenly, Jade felt a pleasant burning sensation as her cloths melted away and she and Bandanna-Boy floated up to the top of the hole, as if the wind was carrying them up towards the top.
When the Data cocoons that held the two individuals split, they had transformed.
The boy now had a white wolf mask, with holes for his crimson red eyes, a light blue scarf with dark blue stripes, white armour on his arms, dark blue pads on his knees, elbows and shoulders, a black belt with white jeans, armoured feet with 3 toes and 2 swords strapped to his hips.
"LOBOMON!" He cried.
But Jade had changed far more dramatically.
Now, she had sickly-pink skin, large black wings, heterochromic eyes, one green the other orange and a third vertically placed eye on her forehead. Jamie's new cloths were weird with one of her legs completely covered in black leather while the other was mostly exposed. Her half her chest was well-developed and covered by a half black sports bra while the revealed side looked like a older man's muscles. Her hair was wild and white on the female side and tamed and purple on the male. She also had blue lips and pointed teeth, resembling those of a vampire.
"YUMON!" She hollered.
While the wolf looked beautiful, the half dragon looked demonic.
Everyone awed at the wolf, almost as if they hadn't noticed the half dragon.
"Wow!" JP cheered, looking at the wolf in awe.
"MAN! Did I look that cool?" Takuya yelled, a smile on his face.
Tommy nodded his head rapidly.
"Yeah! But different!" He cheered, also aweing the wolf.
Zoe sweat.
"Wh-what happened to Jade?" She stammered, fear in her eyes at the sight of the demonic creature the sweet girl had become.
"Yubel?!" Alex gasped, recognising the figure.
The two Digimon ignored the humans as they floated to the ground, Lobomon landing with a growl and showing off some light, while Yumon went with a simple flap of her wings that caused a strong wind to nearly blow everyone away. Literally.
"That's the Legendary Warrior of Light: Lobomon!" Bokomon exclaimed, looking at his book.
"But what happened to Jade?" Alex asked, concern edging in his tone.
Bokomon turned a few pages in his book and stopped on one.
"It can't be!" He gasped in fear.
"What? What is it?" JP asked, looking at the mutant in fear.
"Jade has become The She-Devil itself!" The mutant exclaimed.
"Who is she?" Zoe gasped, almost afraid to know.
"That Demon, The Supreme King's Guardian: Yumon!" Bokomon gasped.
"So? What's the big deal? Who's this 'Supreme King' guy?" JP asked, slight fear in his own eyes.
"He's-" Bokomon was cut off.
"We'll explain later! Right now, focus on the battle!" Alex told them.
Everyone nodded and looked on, fear in their eyes at the sight of Yumon.
"ACID SLUG!" Raremon cried and fired his attack at the duo.
"LOBO KENDO!" Lobomon hollered and pulled out his swords that looked like light-stabbers.
"GUARDIAN WING!" Yumon cried and her left arm changed shape, dramatically.
It looked like a bat wing with mahogany leather, but had brown leather covering bones and it seemed that split the wing into 5 pieces with pale blue areas shaped like a rectangles and a square together. And on her arm, there seemed to be a mouth with a blue gem on top with a yellow Eye of Horus on the gem and an additional mouth with teeth.
The two legendary Digimon charged at the acid spitting creature, Yumon using her wing like a shield and deflecting the acid straight back at Raremon, who cried out in agony as his own attack dissolved him to shreds.
Lobomon jumped in the air and landed on Raremon's head, stabbing him with his sword while Yumon used her wings and came from behind him, swiping him in the back of his neck with her own arm wing.
Purple liquid sprayed from all over Raremon's head as his shape darkened into a silhouette and his Fractal Code appeared.
Yumon looked at Lobomon, with a small smirk on her lips.
"Lobomon, why don't you do the honours, my friend?" She asked, a slight playfulness in her voice.
Lobomon nodded.
Then he turned and glared at the Ghost Digimon.
"Now, you talking trash-heap, prepare to be recycled. FRACTAL CODE: DIGITISE!" He yelled, did some graceful hand movements and downloaded Raremon's Data.
"Multa previseo!" Zoe cheered in Italian.
As Raremon's egg went away, Lobomon and Yumon were covered in Data and turned back into Bandanna-Boy and Jade, on their knees and panting heavily, with Jade's arm and cloths healed, as if they hadn't even been touched by the acid.
Takuya grew concerned for the duo, knowing how much energy fighting a Digimon could be and ran over.
"Jade!" Alex yelled and ran over, Takuya and Tommy in front of him.
"Hey, you okay? Let me help you up." Takuya offered and extended his hand towards the boy, just as Alex arrived.
"Don't touch me!" Bandanna-Boy hissed, glaring at the Goggle-Head.
While Takuya flinched back in confusion and fright, Jade got up on her own two feet and began to walk away.
"I don't need your help! Or anyone else's!" Bandanna-Boy panted, still on his knees and noticed the brunette girl's absence.
After a moment of silence, he lifted his head slightly.
"But I guess I should thank you for saving me. I always repay my debts." The ponytailed Warrior said as he stood up on his feet.
"I didn't do it so you'd owe me, ya know." Takuya told him, grunting a little.
Bandanna-Boy turned and glared slightly at the Goggle-Head.
"For your information, I wasn't talking to you." Bandanna-Boy hissed, icily.
While Takuya dropped his jaw, Jade turned around and faced her fellow fighter, by now she was about a foot away from Takuya and waited patiently for him to walk over to her while Alex stood with the other 2 brunettes.
"My name's Koji Minamoto. And you are?" Bandanna-Boy, Koji, asked the brunette girl.
"Jade Rosewood." She panted, hissing her surname like acid and then smiled, stretching out her hand to shake with Koji's.
Koji accepted the invitation and shook hands with the female brunette, noticing how tiered she was, but neither noticed that they hadn't let go.
"You okay?" He asked, looking into her eyes to make sure she didn't lie.
"Just… Worn out." Jade panted, bringing her other hand to her forehead and reluctantly letting go of the raven-bluenette's hand.
Suddenly, she felt her consciousness starting to slip and she fainted.
"Jade!" Koji gasped as the girl started to fall.
"SISSY!" Alex yelled and began to run over.
As Jade continued to fall, Koji was able to catch her back before she hit the ground, probably saving her a few injuries.
Koji put her down on the floor gentle and checked her wrist for a pulse as Alex ran over, falling on his knees once he reached the duo.
"Is my sister alright?!" He panicked, looking at Koji desperate for an answer.
Koji nodded to the blonde.
"She's just tired, she'll be okay after she gets some rest." He reassured the blonde boy.
Alex sighed in relief when an idea popped in his mind.
"But, we can't stay here. It's not safe. What do we do Koji?" He asked, fearing for his sister's health as he looked down at her sleeping face which seemed twisted in pain.
Koji hummed in thought for a moment when he had an idea.
He picked Jade up, bridal style and started walking away.
"Hey, where are you going?" Tommy asked, concerned for Jade's health.
"I'm taking her somewhere safe so she can regain her energy, then I'll meet up with you guys later." Koji replied, looking over his shoulder then faced forward and started walking away.
"What's his deal?" JP asked, running over to the group and putting his hands behind his head.
"Come on guys, let's get outta here. This place smells like dead fish." Zoe suggested, cheerfully as she walked behind then with her hands behind her back.
"You think he likes my sister?" Alex asked his companions.
There was nothing but pure silence.
"I'll take that as a maybe." He suggested and started walking away with the others.
Boy, was Alex thankful that they forgot about the "Supreme King" subject though.
Meanwhile, outside the underground cavern, Koji had placed Jade down by a tree and sat next to her, an arm behind his head with Jade's head on his shoulder and her left hand holding his right hand tightly in her sleep.
"Wolf-Boy and Dragon-Girl's got some pretty sweet moves, but what's with his attitude? And what's with this 'Supreme King' guy? To find out, keep watching Digimon: Digital Monsters."
