"Blue blaster!" The big blue form that had been Tsunomon yelled sending an attack at the Guardromon.
"Pepper breath!" An orange dinosaur that had been Koromon yelled attacking another Guardromon.
"Electro shocker!" A red beetle like digimon that had been Montimon yelled hitting the third Guardromon.
"Wind Blade!" The black bird digimon that had been Yokomon flapped his wings sending out a high pitch wave at the Guardromon.
"Electric shock!" A small green frog like digimon that had been Bukamon created a ball of electricity and shot at Guardromon.
"Seed Shot!" A small pink digimon that had been Tanemon yelled out streaming a lot of seeds at Guadromon.
Hiroaki stood up slowly, he felt sore but he would be fine. He looked over to see the other kids getting up. He glanced down at the device in his hand in amazement. "Did this thing change Tsunomon?"
"Wow… amazing…" Tomoaki stared. "They changed forms all of them… But how…" He frowned and looked down at his hand. "And where did this device come from?"
"I have one too." Kasumi said holding up a small blue device. Hiroaki looked around with the others to see that they all had the same small blue device. He clutched his tightly.
The Guardromon collapsed to the ground and struggled to get up.
"ENOUGH!" A loud voice called out over the sky. The Guardromon had stopped moving. Hiroaki and the others froze and started looking as the sky was full of thunder and lightning and dark clouds. A large blue dragon flew down out of the clouds and hovered over them. "Guardromon calm yourself, these are not intruders."
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Susumu yelled up at the dragon, tensing.
"That's Azulongmon." The beetle digimon said moving up next to Tomoaki. "The great protector of this area."
"Hello children." The dragon spoke gentler and softer. "Welcome to the digital world."
"Why are we here?!" Tomoaki asked.
"I am sorry, but you were needed here." The dragon said looking down at them. "You are the special need that we need to save our world."
"What?" Kokoa gasped. "How is that us?"
"This is the digital world." Azulongmon said, sounding tired. "Not long ago a darkness was released from behind the fire wall and has been spreading chaos and destruction around the world. We needed help to save our world."
"And how can we?" Kasumi asked. "We're just a bunch of kids who aren't even sure what we are doing here."
"You are here because the digital world recognized you power." Azulongmon smiled. "Those devices in your hands are proof."
"What are these things?" Hirokai looked down at the small blue device. "And where did they come from?"
"The world recognized that you had potential and it gave you a special light…. Those devices focalize your power and allow for your partner digimon to digivolve to the next level so they could protect you."
"Digivolve…" Hiroaki whispered to himself.
"Your digimon partners are now more powerful and as you travel they will be able to digivolve more and more to help you."
"What do you mean by travel?" Kaito asked. "We need to get home!"
"Unfortunately I cannot send you home. Nor can I travel with you to find a way home… But I can send you to find help."
"What do you mean?!" Susumu stepped forward.
"An associate of mine, Baihumon, will help you to the best of his abilities."
"The Baihumon?!" The beetle gasped. "Amazing, but how are we going to find him? I've only ever heard rumors of where he is. I know where his area is, but not exactly where he is."
"It is true. Baihumon does not stay sill in his area. He is constantly moving around in his area and trying to counteract the darkness that is spreading and corrupting." Azulongmon sighed. "Not that we can do much… We do not have the light that you children do… Those devices in your hands will channel your light and allow you to fight the darkness away."
"These devices are that powerful?" Tomaoki asked picking up his device.
"It is not the devices, it is you." Azulongmon laughed. "The light inside you. You children have great power. It is something that lies dormant inside every child."
"Then why were we specifically chosen?!" Hiroaki stepped forward. "Why not another group of children from our world, if we all have this light in us?"
"You were the only children who were connected to our world at the instant that the barrier was weakest. That was the only time that the world was able draw you here."
"Then how are we supposed to get home?!" Hiroaki asked. "If you can't open the way home again?!"
"I cannot it is true, but I am not the strongest digimon in the world. There are many others in the world who are at my same level or stranger. Baihumon is one of those. He and two others work with me to protect this world. But at the same time there is another digimon that we work for. I don't know his location, but maybe one of the others does. But while you are here if you wouldn't mind trying to help… Please."
"We will." Susumu grinned. "Right." He looked at the rest of us.
I looked down. I don't know… I would rather get home.
"Hiroaki?" The blue furry digimon that used to be Tsunomon said walking up to me.
"Um… Tsuno… um you are still called Tsunomon right?"
"Actually I'm Gabumon now." He smiled. "When we digivolve we gain a new name along with our new form."
"I'm Agumon." The orange dinosaur that used to be Koromon smiled.
"I'm Falcomon." The purple bird that used to be Yokomon grinned.
"Betamon." The little green frog like digimon that used to be Bukamon jumped up on Kaito's shoulder.
"Lalamon." The pink digimon that used to be Tanemon flew around Kasumi's head. "I will protect you. After all we're partners."
"Yes." Kasumi smiled. "You and I will be together as long as I'm here."
"I think we've all agreed." Susumu grinned. "But how are we going to find him if even you don't know, and can't guide us?"
"I can't but I have friends who can. Come out my friends." A moment later two digimon walked out from around a corner. One looked like a brown centaur digimon and the other looked like a small lion cub. "This is Centarumon and Liollmon. My friends please help these children find their way to Baihumon."
"Very well out protector." Centarumon nodded.
"But you need me here!" Liollmon growled. "You need me to help fight the darkness!"
"You will be fighting the darkness by going with them. Please help them Liollmon. You know your way around the area; you are also brave and loyal. That is why I choose you."
Liollmon looked down. "Alright… I'll agree." He looked up again. "Alright let's get going." He started walking. "Come on!"
"Wait." Gabumon said. "Thank you Azulongmon, but my first job is to help Hiroaki get home and then defeat the darkness."
"Very well, my young loyal friend." Azulongmon nodded. "Goodbye." He flew back up into the sky.
Hiroaki sighed. "Let's go then." He looked down at Gabumon, his partner. "We've got a digimon to find."
