Hey everyone! Sorry about the long wait! So much has happened, including me going to the hospital three times and they didn't let me have a computer or laptop or anything. They were meanies! Anyway, I don't own Digimon, but if I did, Gomamon would have more lines.
xXEnjoyXx
Tai: So there we were, falling like crazy! That's when Gomamon tells all the fish in the river to swim close together, and make a boat for us. Later, we find a beach with a whole bunch of these phone booths. We tried calling home, but none of them seemed to work. Next, we got totally thrashed on by Shellmon! He sprayed seawater like a firehose! Our friend, Aaron, was hurt bad. Agumon got stepped on, and that made him mad! He digivolved to Greymon and gave Shellmon a ride he wouldn't forget, then he turned back into Agumon. Dudes, this place is wild!
The group was resting on a cliff, tired after a long three hours of walking. Aaron's back still was sore, but he could walk. Mimi was completely obvious about her concern for the boy. She would try her best to be as close to him as possible. It wasn't really a bad thing. The boy did try to protect her when the digivices fell from the sky. T.K. and Joe were the second most worried. Joe hoped that the boy wouldn't over exert himself, and T.K. was worried his new friend might not be able to play with him anymore.
Tai was standing on the edge of the cliff, just staring out to the ocean. He was thinking about Greymon and how cool he was. "Yo, Agumon!" He called to the yellow dino.
Said dino walked over to his partner with a curious look on his face, "What's up Tai?"
Tai looked down at him, "I like it when you're Greymon. No offense, but why don't you just stay that way?" He asked.
Agumon shook his head, "I can't." he said, a bit deflated, but piped right up, "But even superheroes need a rest."
Tai nodded, but lost his footing and almost fell off the cliff. Agumon quickly caught him, and pulled him back. The group laughed at the boy's antics. Aaron never felt so happy before in his life. He had barely lived in Japan for a month and already, he had fifteen friends. The digimon were definetly considered friends.
Suddenly, a roar was heard. They looked around to see some sort of triceratops monster. It had black plating going down its back. On it's head were red stripes and it's head had a giant crest on it with horns coming out. It looked like an old japanese fan. On it's nose was a giant black horn.
"Who's that digimon?" Izzy asked, getting ready to panic. Tentomon, being the local know-it-all, answered.
"It's a Monochromon. But don't worry about him, he's a laid back digimon. Although, it is a bit wise to be a bit cautious with a Monochromon. They get a little miffed when they are hungry." He explained.
Aaron groaned. Why were they a digimon magnet? Couldn't they go the rest of the day without getting attacked by a digimon?
"Then he must be starving, cuz he looks really mad!" Tai exclaimed, backing up to a rock. The group move into a big cluster, hoping a miracle would happen. Naturally, the opposite happened. It got worse. A second roar was heard, and they looked behind them, and saw a second Monochromon. It looked just as mad as the first. "There are two of them!" Matt exclaimed.
Aaron looked really scared, "We're caught between a rock and two sets of teeth!" The two giant dinos moved towards the kids, but missed them completely. They, instead, starting locking horns, trying to push the other one back. The kids moved behind some bushes, watching the two fight.
"Something must've set those two off." Tai noticed. Tentomon just shrugged it off, "They're fighting over territory."
Palmon had enough, and started running away, "They can just have it then." Mimi, Aaron and Tigreramon were right behind her. Even though Aaron's back was hurt, he didn't want to be flattened by two digimon. That wasn't something on his Bucket List.
Tai ran after them, with everyone else quickly following suit. "They definetly don't need us hanging around."
T.K. tripped while running, and Matt helped him up, "T.K. come on!" He encouraged, a little impatient. Tai looked back, "Better hurry up guys."
T.K. quickly started running again, "Kay, we're coming!"
Aaron, while running, heard the growling fading away, and then a loud splash. 'They must've fallen off the cliff.' He thought.
Soon, they all stopped running, and were back to walking through the foreign forest. It was a really relaxing walk, except for a certain brunette constantly whining. "I don't walk this much unless I'm at a mall. And as you can see we're nowhere near one!"
She was driving everyone crazy, even Aaron. He just didn't show it as much as the others. Tai was one of those who really showed, "Mimi, stop whining!" He pleaded.
The girl shook her head, "No! My feet hurt!"
Aaron, whose back was feeling much better, got in front of her and bent down. "Mimi, hop on. I'll carry you."
Mimi, who normally would've jumped at the oppritunity of a free ride, was worried about the boy's back. "Are you sure?"
Aaron nodded, "Yeah, I'm feeling much better."
Mimi, still a little skeptical, carefully climbed onto the boy's back, and they were off again. Mimi was lighter than Aaron thought. With the giant hat, and the big pink outfit, he expected to be worn down a bit, but nope, she was lighter than air. As they were walking, Izzy looked up into the sky, "It appears we are losing our light source."
Sora looked up, "What a strange sunset."
Izzy nodded, "This whole island is weird, and who knows what comes out at night." Everyone looked at each other worried, before Tentomon buzzed in, "Wait, I detect water!" He started buzzing higher, "Wait here, while I go check it out."
He flew up and a little ways away was a lake. "As usual, I'm right. It's a lake with fresh, clean water and a variety of tasty fish. It's the perfect campsite."
Mimi, still on Aaron's back grinned, "Maybe I can soak my poor achy feet!" She cheered. Gomamon charged forward, "Yay we get to swim!"
His celebration was short lived as Joe grabbed his tail, "Gomamon! You better wait and make sure it's safe first." He warned the fun loving seal. Aaron couldn't help but laugh at the irony. The nerdy, uptight worry wart got paired up with the class clown party seal.
Matt, who was watching the scene, agreed with Joe, "That's why I say we keep walking, and stop all this complaining."
Tai groaned at Matt, "Everyone's hungry. We need to find food."
Joe grinned, happy that a sensible plan was suggested, "That is a good plan. I like that plan alot!"
Everyone smiled, happy to have reached an agreement. Aaron ran as fast as he could with Mimi on his back towards the shore of the lake. Once they all made it, Mimi hopped off Aaron's back, "Thank you Aaron." She said, looking at him with a smile.
Aaron shrugged, "No problem." He didn't see anything really thankful about what he did. He just liked helping people. It was normal for him.
Mimi smiled at him, and he did the same. The group all looked at each other with knowing glances, except T.K. and the digimon. It was quiet for a few minutes.
Biyomon broke the tension by speaking, "I think this is a great campsite!"
Sora agreed with her, "Yeah, I love camping outside!" She said, excited. Mimi, once again, started complaining about the dirt.
"If I won't walk in dirt, what makes you think I'll sleep in it?" She asked, very defensive about getting dirty. Aaron sighed, looking at the girl.
"Mimi, do you see any hotels here?" He asked, kind of tired of the whining. Mimi turned to give the boy a piece of her mind before she gasped with a smile on her face. Aaron and the others turn to see what she was looking. Tai raised, "What's that?"
"It looks like a trolley car!" T.K. said. It was in fact. Actually, just as the young boy said that, the lights inside the car turned on. It was a white metal with a green stripe on it, and it was on a penninsula of land jutting into the lake. Izzy spoke up, "Hmm, that's odd. The lights just came on."
"Well, maybe there are some real people in there!" Sora suggested, hopefully. All the kids were thinking the same hopeful thoughts. Tai started running to it, "Let's check it out!"
Mimi, surprisingly, sprinted way ahead of the group cheering, " Maybe it can take us back home, and in air-conditioned comfort!" She exclaimed, running right inside. She didn't hear any of the others calling for her to wait.
Aaron panted, leaning against the side of the trolley. "I haven't run this much in one day since...ever!" He exclaimed, catching his breath. Joe pat his back, before walking over to the control panel. Tigreramon stayed by his side, looking up at her partner, "You need to get in shape." She said, trying to help.
Aaron glared at her, "Who asked you?" He snapped, making the tiger jump, and look away sadly. He immediately showed signs of guilt, "Tigreramon, I'm sorry. I'm just not used to being in a world where you have to run for your life every few hours."
The tiger turned back towards him, grinning, "I wasn't really sad. I was yanking your chain." She said, grinning a toothy grin, revealing rather sharp teeth. Aaron sighed, 'Great, I got a prankster for a partner.' He thought sarcastically.
He was brought back to the real world when Sora walked up to him, "Hey Aaron, you wanna come with me and Biyo to find some food in the forest?" She asked.
He nodded, "Sure, we do need to eat."
So, the four of them, being Aaron, Sora, Biyomon and Tigreramon, walked into the forest together, searching for anything that could be used for food. Sora decided to start a conversation, "So, Aaron, you and Mimi, huh?" She asked, teasingly.
The black haired boy's face remained neutral, but you could tell he was getting a bit flustered. "Uh, n-nothing is going on between us. I just wanted to help h-her. Th-that's all." He stuttered, trying to keep his composure. He failed.
Sora laughed, "I'm teasing. Anyway, I haven't seen you at school or anywhere back in Japan. You homeschooled or something?" She asked.
The boy shook his head, "No, I just moved to Japan two weeks ago from America. My step-dad got a job in Odaiba, so we moved." He explained.
"What happened to your real father?" She asked, "If you don't mind me asking."
Aaron looked up at the sky, sadly, "Don't know. He vanished into thin air, and no one has ever seen him since the dissappearence." He said, letting a tear fall out of his eye. He really missed his father. When he was younger, his Dad was his best friend. They would do everything together, whether it be getting ice cream, playing in the park or going to the local zoo. Even though he knew it wasn't his fault, Aaron hated his dad for leaving.
'Why Dad?' He thought up to the digital sky, 'How could you just go like that? I miss you.'
Sora gave the boy a sad and concerning look, "Aaron, are you okay?" She asked, knowing the answer.
The boy nodded, wiping his face, "Yeah, I'm fine. C'mon, lets see if there are any berries around."
Tigreramon looked at her partner sadly, 'Poor Aaron. I don't have parents, but it seems like they are very important to these humans. To loose them must be really hard.' She thought. 'I have to cheer him up somehow.'
She thought for a minute, before getting a great idea. She whispered what she was gonna do to Biyomon, who said she'd cover for her. The tiger grinned and ran on all fours back towards the lake.
For a few minutes, her dissappearance was unnoticed, until Sora and Aaron found some bananas in the trees. "Hey, Tigreramon?" Aaron asked, turning to face his partner, only to find she was missing.
"Tigreramon? Where are you?" He asked, looking around. Biyomon smiled, "Don't worry Aaron, she went back to the campsite. She said that she had something to take care of back on the trolley car." The bird explained.
Aaron smiled in relief, glad she wasn't hurt. Sora and him quickly gathered as much bananas as possible with the help of Biyomon's Spiral Twister. Soon, they were back at the campsite where they saw Izzy and T.K. handing the fish they caught to Matt and Tai. Aaron was a vegitarian, so he was fine with the bananas, but even he thought that the fish looked really good.
Tai tried dangling the fish over the fire by his hands, but he looked like he was gonna burn his finger off. Aaron sighed, grabbing a stick and grabbing a banana and sticking it in the fire for three seconds, so it was warm. He liked his bananas warm for some reason.
Tai gave him a look, "How'd you figure that out, Aaron?"
Aaron gave the boy a smirk, "Because I'm the man!" He said, posing. The brown haired boy laughed, picking up a stick.
Pretty soon, everyone was eating. Well, everyone except T.K.
"Matt, Mom only lets me eat fish sticks." He said, scared his mother would get mad at him eating something like this.
Matt smiled at his brother, "I won't tell." He promised his younger brother.
The boy brought up something else, "I never eat with my fingers." He complained.
You could tell Matt was getting really annoyed, and his voice showed it, "T.K. it's alright!" He let out, frustrated.
Tai pointed at the younger boy with a grin, "Yeah, you're hanging with the big kids now!"
T.K. accepted this answer, and started to eat his fish, with Aaron looking strangely at Matt. He walked over to him, "Hey Matt, can I talk to you?" He asked.
The blonde boy looked at him confused, but nodded. They both walked away from the campsite, and to a secluded area. Aaron turned to Matt, who was leaning against a tree, , "What's with you and T.K.? Isn't he your brother?" He asked.
The blonde boy glared at him, "Yeah, we are. Why?"
Aaron shrugged, "You just seem to think he's more of a pain than a brother. I have two little sisters, so I know what it's like to-" He was cut short when he felt Matt tackle him to the ground, "You don't know anything!" He screamed at him.
Aaron tried explaining himself, "Matt, I get it!" He said loudly. Matt growled, "No you don't! Your parents aren't divorced. You get to see your siblings everyday! I don't even get to see him once a week! He's my responisbilty, not yours! You only met him today, and you're treating him like your own brother!" He shouted at the black haired boy, still on top of him.
Aaron glared at the boy, "If anyone doesn't know about brothers, it's you. T.K. is nine years old. My sisters are both twelve! I've been a brother longer than you, and I know that you treat them as friends, not pains." He told the blonde boy.
"You don't know anything about me, or T.K. for that matter! Just stay out of our lives!" He shouted, punching the younger boy in the face. Matt huffed away, angry at the black haired kid. 'How dare he say I'm not a good brother?! He doesn't know anything about me, and he never will!'
Aaron, rubbing his swollen cheek, sighed, "I guess he just doesn't want to listen."
He got up, brushing himself off, before walking calmly back to the campsite. Tigreramon was smiling at him, until she saw his cheek. "Aar-" She started, but he shushed her. The tiger nodded, and walked over to him.
Aaron went to the edge of the lake and splashed some cold water on his face, and Tigreramon blew a tiny bit of frozen air on his cheek, making the water freeze, and calming the swelling down. Aaron smiled at the tiger, "So, what exactly was Biyomon talking about when she said you had something to do at the car?" He asked.
Tigreramon smiled, before pulling out an ice sculpture of an older looking Aaron, about twenty years older. The boy gave the tiger a confused look, "What is this?"
Tigreramon grinned, "Well, you were getting all sad talking about your dad, whatever that is, but I figured its just an older version of you, so I made this, hoping it could make you happy again." She explained.
Aaron's eyes widened. She did that, for him? "You, and this, and happy? What?!" He asked, trying to find the words to express him self. He couldn't so he just pulled the tiger into a big hug.
"Thank you Tigreramon. No one has ever done something for nice for me." He said into her fur. The tiger purred her response.
When they pulled away, Aaron grinned, "Lets head back. I don't want anyone thinking we're missing." He suggested.
Tigreramon nodded, and they both walked back tot he campsite, where everyone was just getting ready to go to bed, except Matt, Tai, Agumon and Gabumon. Matt was sitting far off, just watching the water. Tai was at the fire, just prodding it with a stick.
Aaron shrugged, and walked into the trolley car. Mimi was just laying down, when she saw him. "Aaron, can you sleep next to me?" She asked, innocently. Aaron smiled at her, and nodded, sitting next to the pink obsessed girl. She quickly made herself comfortable with her head on his shoulder.
"Good night!" Joe said.
"And don't let the Monochromon bite." T.K. said, closing his eyes.
'I wonder when we'll get to go home.' Aaron thought as Tigreramon curled into a ball next to him. Aaron looked at the girl next to him. She was shivering a bit. He smiled, before pulling off his plaid shirt. Don't worry, he had a white t-shirt underneath. He wrapped around the two of them, and he started falling asleep.
Suddenly, a loud crashing was heard. Aaron quickly looked out of the windows, and saw a giant blue, red and yellow serpent rising out of the water. It growled, making everyone scream and duck for cover. Sora was plugging her ears, "What's the horrible sound?"
Aaron agreed, blocking his ears. Mimi, with her head covered in Aaron's shirt, screamed, "It's an earthquake!"
The group suddenly felt the island move throughout the water. Joe spoke, "The trolley's starting to move! And I don't think it's taking us home!"
"It's taking us to that sea dragon!" Izzy screamed, scared.
Tentomon's face showed one of pure horror, "Oh no, it's Seadramon!"
Everyone ran out of the cart, hoping to get a better view of this thing. Mimi was still terrified as she looked up from under the shirt, "It's gonna eat us for sure!"
The serpent raced through the water, not paying any attention to the island on it's tail. Aaron was smiling, remembering earlier that day, surfing on the fish bed. What an adrenaline rush! Though, now was not the time. Tai, thinking the same as Aaron, spoke his thought, "It's we're on a monster longboard."
Izzy shook his head at the older boy's reaction. "He's pulling us by his tail. I don't think he even realizes we're here."
Tentomon voiced his thoughts, "Perhaps not. He's a bit dense. As long as he doesn't see us, we should be safe."
"Don't be too sure!" Agumon said, giving the giant serpent a dirty look. Tentomon jumped onto a big red leaf, "You guys jinxed it! Now he knows we're here."
Tai and Agumon both started going off about how it wasn't their fault. Seadramon flicked his tail, the big red leaf, and Tentomon fell off. Izzy shouted, worried, "Guess he does know we're here."
The tail surfaced in the water, showing the red part sizzling because of the fire sparks. Tentomon started flailing around, "It wasn't my fault!"
Aaron groaned, "How can things get any worse?"
Just as he said that, Seadramon started swimming towards the island, making Tai worried, "He's comming back, and he's less than happy!"
The serpent dove underwater, and everything seemed calm for a few seconds, before a giant bump made the island start zooming towards a bunch of metal structures in the lake.
Joe held his head, "We're gonna crash into shore!"
Mimi, holding her head for another reason, screamed, "This gonna really mess up my hair!"
Matt, who was on land and watching the whole thing, decided enough was enough. He dove into the water, "T.K.!" He shouted, worried for his brother. Gabumon looked doubtful, "Matt, I'm just letting you know, my fur's gonna get wet and I'm going to stink!"
He jumped in after his friend.
Back with the island, it stopped right in the middle of the water. "Great, he left us in the middle of the lake!"
Izzy looked sheepish, "I don't suppose we can trick him into bringing us back..."
The serpent rose again and quickly swam in front of the group. "Get ready, he's attacking!" Tai warned.
Agumon jumped forward, "C'mon guys, lets send him back to the fishes!"
Biyomon flapped into the air and released her Spiral Twister, while Patamon blows a Boom Bubble. Both attacks hit right on, but neither did much damage. Palmon and Tigreramon try their attacks from the ground, but Palmon's vines weren't long enough and Tigreramon's breath wasn't that strong. Tentomon flew up to the serpents face and sent a Super Shocker at it, and it hit dead on, but once again, it brushed right off the serpent. Agumon sent a Pepper Breath to it, but Seadramon just growled through it.
The only thing these attacks did was make Seadramon angrier. Tai looked to Agumon, "Agumon, you've got to digivolve!"
Agumon gave his partner a rebellious look, "I've been trying, but I can't seem to do it this time Tai."
"You've got to!" Tai argued, not wanting to become fish food.
Agumon looked helpless, "Maybe my body hasn't recovered from the last fight."
Tai groaned, "But if you can't help us, then how are we gonna stop Seadramon?"
A voice was heard off the island, "T.K. over here!"
T.K., Aaron, and Gomamon looked off and saw Matt swimming quickly to them. The three walk to the shore as T.K. exclaims in joy, "Matt!"
Aaron looked towards Seadramon, and saw he slammed his tail into the island again. The vibrations sent T.K. into the lake. Aaron and Gomamon both dive into the water after the boy. Matt reached them just as Gomamon popped out of the water with the young boy, but Aaron still hadn't surfaced.
"Gomamon, where's Aaron?" Joe asked, looking to see his partner save T.K.
The seal looked from side to side, "He was with me just a second ago."
Sora spoke, "Uh, guys, look!" She told them. They looked to see her pointing at Seadramon. They gasped, but not at the serpent.
It was the fact that wrapped in his tail, was Aaron. He was screaming in pain, as the serpent tightened his grip. Mimi cried out, "Aaron!"
Gabumon, who was swimming still, released a Blue Blaster that didn't do anything also. Seadramon just sent a wave at the wolf and sent him to the shore against Matt and Gomamon. They all pull themselves weakly onto the island and watch as Aaron was squeezed even more. He would've been trying to punch his way out, but his hands and feet were tightly wrapped to his body.
T.K. who was leaning against Matt, spoke sorrifully, "This is my fault, Aaron was trying to save me. Oh Matt!" He started crying into Matt's side, who was looking up at the black haired boy with guilty eyes.
'I yell at him, I hit him, and I hurt him, but he still wants to rescue me and T.K.' Matt thought, feeling awful about what happened earlier that night. Tentomon started babbling, "This is not good! Seadramon may be a bubble brain, but once he catches his prey, he won't let go."
T.K. looked back at the boy, "Aaron, hang on!" he turned to Patamon, "Patamon, hit him with a Bubble Boom!"
Patamon looked sadly at the boy, "Seadramon's way too big, I just don't have enough power now. Gabumon, you're stronger, how about you?" He asked the horned wolf hopefully.
The wolf turned to Matt, "Matt?"
Matt snapped out of his thoughts and glared at the sea dragon, "Go get him Gabumon! No one hurts my friends!" He snapped, but at the dragon. No one noticed this but Matt's digivice started glowing brightly along with Gabumon.
Aaron, looking down at the group, shouted, "Get him Gabumon!" He encouraged the wolf, before being squeezed even tighter, making him unable to breath.
"Gabumon, digivolve to...Garurumon!" When the glow subsided, in Gabumon's place was a giant four legged wolf. It was white with blue stripes going throughout the fur. He had a very thin flimsy tail with it seperating at the end. He stood on four paws and had four red claws on each paw.
He jumped at the serpent and slashing at the tail. Seadramon cried out in pain as it let Aaron drop into the lake. He surfaced and quickly swam to shore, where Tai and Izzy were waiting. "Aaron are you alright?" Tai asked.
The black haired boy sent a small grin to Tai, "I'm not dead." He replied, before going back to catching his breath. Being squeezed by a giant sea monster does that to people. Everyone turned their attention back to Garurumon who jumped and bit Seadramon's side. This angered the serpent into slamming its tail into the wolf and driving him underwater.
He swam around, whipping the seamonster with his tail. Tentomon looked astonished, "Garurumon's fur is legendary. It's strong as steel. He's like a growling torpedo."
Izzy, just as surprised, spoke, "Thats astonishing. Then he must be invincible."
Tentomon shrugged, "That's what I heard anyway. We'll soon find out."
Tai looked at the bug sceptically, "I hope you're not exaggerating Tentomon with another one of your fish tales."
Agumon, entranced by the fight, spoke, "He could be."
The beetle felt offended and exclaimed in protest, "But I heard about it!"
Seadramon finally started fighting back and breathed a blast of blue wind onto the wolf, freezing him on the spot. Tentomon looked petrified, "Oh no! Seadramon's using his leathal Ice Blast!"
Garurumon was frozen for a few seconds before he took in a large breath. When he exhaled, the ice around him broke away and a glowing blue blast burst out of the wolf's mouth. "Howling Blaster!"
The attack hit Seadramon's attack with full power, causing the serpent's attack to falter. Garurumon's attack hit the water lizard's head. Seadramon stumbled back a bit, before fully toppling over on it's back. Matt and T.K. cheered, while Aaron smiled at the sight. The serpent resurfaced, only to sink into the water with steam coming out of it's mouth.
Garurumon gave a light growl, before de-digivolving into Gabumon again. He quickly swam to the island where everyone else was. "Flying's sure a good way to keep my fur dry." he commented, before being attacked in a hug by T.K.
Matt smiled at his partner, "Gabumon you digivolved into Garurumon just in time." He said, looking back to Aaron. The boy gave a thumbs up to the horned wolf, "Awesome job Gabumon!"
T.K. spoke into Gabumon's fur, "Thanks for saving Aaron." He cried.
Gabumon smiled, "Any time little friend." He said, smiling.
T.K. then turned to Matt and Aaron. "Matt, you and Aaron were so cool going against that monster."
Matt looked over to Aaron, winking. The black haired boy shook his head smiling, before letting Matt speak to his brother, "You think so?" He asked the little kid.
Gabumon nodded, "You know, you were the man!"
Matt grinned, "And you're the wolf man!"
Everyone laughed at that, except of course, Joe. He is busy doing what he does best. Complaining. "Okay, very funny, but how are we supposed to get back?"
Aaron shrugged, "We could swim?" He suggested, even though his clothes were already soaked. Of course, he sneezed, which got a giggle out of Sora. "I don't think you should be back in the water until you're dry."
Gomamon pat Aaron's leg with one of his flippers, "Don't worry Aaron, I got it covered."
He dove into the water and resurfaced, "Fish power!" A bunch of colorful fish like the ones the kids rode on the river earlier that day jumped out of the water, and pushed against the island, making it move back towards the shore. After everyone was safely on the ground, the kids decided that they should catch up on their sleep, since a certain Seadramon interuppted them.
Aaron sat against a tree, leaning back. Tigreramon was snuggled into him. Despite her being an ice tiger, her fur was surprisingly warm. He heard Tai, Izzy and Sora talking but he was way too tired to pay attention as he fell asleep to the faint sound of a harmonica.
