Another Sailor Revealed. Roar Garurumon and Bengalmon.
Previously on "When Destinies Collide"… The gang found some abandoned payphone booths on the shore and found they were useless. They tried to relax but it was cut short when Shellmon appeared and began attacking everyone. Agumon and Labramon fought off Shellmon, with the help of Tai and Mina, who turned out to be Sailor Venus. Shellmon grabbed a hold of Tai and Mina and began to squeeze the life out of them. Wanting to protect their human friends, Agumon and Labramon digivolved into Greymon and Dobermon. They combined their attacks and sent Shellmon flying. Wonder who will digivolved next, and who's another Sailor Scout? Find out in this chapter of, "When Destinies Collide"…
"We've searched almost the entire island and we still haven't found any people, just some monsters with attitude. But they couldn't beat our digimon friends who could turn into these awesome fighters. Like when Agumon and Labramon digivolved into Greymon and Dobermon, they were so cool." Tai thought. "Yo Agumon." he called.
"What's up Tai?" asked the little dinosaur digimon.
"I like it when you're Greymon. No offense but why don't you just stay that way?" Tai asked.
"I can't." Agumon sighed. "But even super heroes need a rest." Tai nearly lost his footing on the cliff but Agumon grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back. Mina and Labramon chuckled.
Suddenly the gang heard a roar. Out of nowhere a rhinoceros-dinosaur type digimon appeared. "What's that digimon?" Izzy asked.
"Oh it's just a Monochromon." Tentomon answered. "But don't worry about him he's a laid back digimon. Though it is wise to be a bit cautious with a Monochromon, especially when they're hungry."
Monochromon started walking towards the kids. "Then he must be starving. He's coming right at us.!" Tai exclaimed.
The digimon edged closer and the kids realized another Monochromon was behind them. "We're caught between a rock and two sets of teeth." Matt yelled.
The kids ran behind a wall of boulders as the two Monochromon head-butted one another. They were fighting over territory and the kids decided to run far away from the battle.
The sun was beginning to set, making the sky appear a light fuchsia color. "I never walk this much unless I'm at a mall and as you can see we're no where near one." Serena whined.
"Oh Serena quit your complaining." Reye said, annoyed.
"No." She whined. "My feet hurt."
"Maybe if you take off your boots and socks you'll fell better." Ravenmon suggested.
"I'm not walking in the dirt in my bare feet." Serena stated.
"I love the feel of dirt on my feet." Palmon smiled. "Especially between my toes."
"Gross." Serena yelled.
"It appears we may be loosing our light source." Izzy noticed.
"What a weird sunset." Lita added.
"This whole island is weird. Who knows what may come out at night." Izzy exclaimed.
"Wait I detect water." Tentomon announced. "Stay here. I'm gonna go check."
"Wait for me Tentomon." Zapdomon called, flying after Tentomon. The two electric digimon flew above the trees and noticed a sparkling lake not far from where they were now. "Wow. Beautiful." Zapdomon sighed, her dark blue eyes gleaming. "A perfect campsite." Tentomon noted.
"Maybe I can finally soak my pore, achy feet." Serena whined.
"Yay! We get to swim!" Gomamon exclaimed running towards the lake. Joe grabbed his partner's tail. "Gomamon wait. You better make sure it's safe first."
Amy sighed. "I'm sure the water is perfectly fine Joe." Sealmon nodded.
"I say we stop all the complaining and keep walking." Matt voted.
"Everybody's hungry we have to find some food." Tai said. Everyone nodded.
The group walked a little more ways and found a perfect spot by the shore. "It should be safe to rest here tonight." Tigermon noted.
"Yeah. I love camping outside." Piper sighed.
Serena turned to Reye. "If I won't walk in dirt what makes you think I'll sleep in it?"
Reye glared at her. "Look around meatball head, do you see a hotel here?"
Serena gasped. Everyone turned to see a trolley car nearby. It mysteriously turned itself on. They ran for it to check if anybody else was inside, but to their disappointment there wasn't.
"These cushions are comfy." Serena giggled.
"Remember those weird phone booths?' Tai asked aloud. "Something just as freaky could happen here."
"Yeah like this car moving all by itself." Joe chuckled.
"Possibly but then again that may be our only way to get home." Tai folded his arms.
"So we have nothing to loose by staying here." Mina laid back in one of the seats.
"Oh can we eat now?" Tentomon groaned.
"That's right I forgot." Tai sighed.
Gomamon and Sealmon were swimming around the lake. "Guys stop playing in the water." Izzy scolded. "I can't catch any fish if you keep warning them away."
Tentomon and Zapdomon were on a tree branch gathering some berries. "Yum, yum. You can never get too many berries down the hatch." Tentomon said. Zapdomon chuckled, "Just be sure you save some for everyone else." she scolded.
Patamon was on top of Agumon's head, powering up his attack. He let out a blast of air and knocked a few banana's off a tree. Right on top of Gabumon's horn. Tigermon laughed. "Oh boy you'd better watch that killer breath of your Patamon." Biyomon said, grabbing for a melon off another tree.
Serena was about to pick some mushrooms when Palmon stopped her. "Those are bad mushrooms you shouldn't pick them." she warned. "They'll make you sick."
Serena sighed. "I'd be a big mess without you Palmon thank you. You're the best." Palmon smiled and bowed.
Piper, Tai, and Matt were standing by the fire pit. "Okay we have a place to cook dinner now all we need is the grub." Matt noted.
"Ok. But how are we supposed to light the fire?" Piper asked.
"Like this." Agumon said, blowing a little spout of fire from his mouth.
The three kids cheered. "Yeah go Agumon. You're the man." Tai yelled. Agumon laughed.
Izzy, Rini, and T.K. came over and handed the three the fish they caught. "Awesome Izzy let's eat them." Tai said, chuckling.
T.K handed Matt a few fish. "Thanks squirt." T.K smiled.
Tai was holding a fish over the flames. "This is where I wish we had a microwave." he murmured.
"Me too." Matt agreed.
"Yeah Tai. You're about to loose your fingers." Piper laughed. "Use a stick you dork." She placed some sticks with fish on them in front of the fire for them to cook.
"How did you come up with that Piper?" Tai asked.
The black haired girl smiled. "Because I'm the girl." she winked.
Night fell and everyone was enjoying their dinner. "This is surprisingly good." Tentomon said, his mouth full of melon. Zapdomon nodded.
Izzy was chowing down on a fish. "Delicious."
"Matt, Mom only let's me eat fish sticks." T.K said.
"I won't tell." Matt replied.
"And I'm never supposed to eat with my fingers." the little boy added.
"T.K it's alright." Matt said.
Tai leaned over, "Yeah T.K you're hanging with the big boys now." the little kid nodded and began to eat his fish.
Piper and Mina were by the shore gathering some water. "Hey Piper." Tai asked.
The girl in question looked up, "Yeah?"
"Matt doesn't treat T.K like a brother, just a bother." he replied. "Is it just me or have you noticed it too."
"Yeah." Piper admitted. "Matt's still learning how to be a big brother."
"Maybe." Tai sighed.
Joe walked over and looked up at the sky. "Hey Joe, what ya looking at?" Mina asked.
"I'm trying to figure out which direction we've been going." Joe answered the blonde. "But I haven't been able to find the north star anywhere."
Mina nodded. "I know. I don't recognize any of these constellations."
"You're forgetting your astronomy." Tai said. "If you can't find the north star then it must be on the other side of the world."
Piper sighed. "Do you think maybe we're in the southern hemisphere?"
Joe turned to the others. "It's possible, that is if we're still on Earth."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Tai asked.
Back around the campfire, Patamon yawned. The little digimon curled up and fell asleep. Palmon and Sealmon were asleep as well. Tai stretched his arms and yawned. "I'm a little tired myself."
Izzy walked over to him. "Wait a minute we need to take turns standing guard."
Tai nodded. "Ok. How about we each stand guard for about an hour."
"Not T.K" Matt yelled.
T.K grabbed Matt's arm. "Oh come on Matt me too."
"No you're too young and you need your rest." he ordered.
Serena yawned. "I'm getting cold I need a warm blanket to help me sleep." she whined. The other girls sighed.
Tai looked at Gabumon evilly. "Hey Gabumon, you better watch or Serena's gonna come and steal your fur." he taunted. "So if you feel a little tug, it might be her about to cut your tail off."
"Stop Tai, that's not funny." Gabumon ran away and stood beside Piper and Tigermon.
Matt ran over and shoved Tai. "What was that for?" Tai asked, shocked.
"Gabumon told you to stop so leave him alone." Matt yelled, defending his digimon.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Tai growled. The two boys glared at each other.
Piper sighed and sat up. As the two boys were about to slug each other, Piper jumped in between them holding out her arms. "Okay you two knock it off." She snapped. "Look we've been walking all day and we're all tired. And when that tends to happen emotions run high." She placed her hands on her hips. The two boys faced away from each other.
"So whose going first?" Joe asked.
"I will." Tai yelled.
"I'm next." Matt followed. Piper sighed,
"Okay how about Izzy takes over after that and I finish up the night." Joe planned.
"That sounds fine to me." Piper said, her cat climbing into her arms.
The rest of the gang climbed into the trolley car and found a place to sleep. "I can't sleep with all of you here!" Serena whined.
"Zip it Serena." Reye snarled.
"Just be glad we have a place to sleep." Lita said.
"That's right Serena." Izzy followed.
"Good night." Amy said.
"Don't let the Monochromon bite." T.K said falling asleep.
"Thanks for reminding me TK." Rini thought closing her eyes.
One by one the gang fell asleep. Matt was sitting alone with Gabumon. Matt sighed, "Gabumon."
"Yeah?" asked the digimon.
"Go over and lay down with my brother." Matt said.
"Why Matt?" Gabumon asked.
"Because your fur is making me sweat no go." Matt ordered.
"Because you want me to keep T.K warm." Gabumon inferred.
"I never said that." Matt yelled.
"You just don't want to admit it." Gabumon sighed.
"Whatever." Matt sighed and walked out of the trolley car.
Gabumon went and laid his arms over T.K, keeping him warm. The little boy opened his eyes and thanked his older brother, then went back to sleep. Matt blushed and walked out. Piper stirred in her sleep and saw Matt walk out. She smiled and went back to sleep. Her cat Astrate and digimon were curled up together by Piper's feet.
Out by the fire, Tai and Agumon were keeping watch. Tai was trying desperately not to fall asleep but he couldn't help it. "Tai you don't want to fall asleep on your first night watch." Agumon said.
"My eyes won't stay open." Tai moaned. "I'm going to the lake to splash some water on my face." Tai knelt down and grabbed some water in his hands and threw it on his face. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Matt was standing by the shore.
"What's the matter?" Tai asked. "You don't think I can handle this?"
"Look I'm sorry about earlier." Matt apologized. "It's just being here and having to watch T.K."
"Do you guys even live in the same house?" Tai asked.
"Not anymore." Matt answered. "Our parents are divorced so we don't see each other much."
Tai sighed. "Well that explains a lot." Matt scoffed and ran off.
Tai walked over to Agumon, who was still sitting by the fire. "Matt's a little strange." he told his partner. On the opposite shoreline, Matt got his harmonica out of his pocket and began to play.
Back in the trolley car, Piper stirred and she faintly heard the sound of Matt's harmonica. She saw out of the corner of her eye, Gabumon get up and walk out of the trolley car. She sat up and watched as the dog/lizard like digimon walked over to his human partner. Piper stroked Tigermon's orange fur and smiled. She also scratched Astrate behind her ears. The grey cat began to purr softly.
"What a wonderful sound." Gabumon complemented as he walked up to Matt.
Tai was still by the fire and he thought to himself. "Maybe to a Saint Bernard with a horn on his forehead."
Matt continued to play his harmonica, his eyes were closed. He was imagining everyone else, asleep back in the trolley car. His thoughts though, lingered on a sleeping T.K and Piper. T.K was asleep with Patamon in his arms. The little boy was smiling. Piper's long, black hair was covering her arms, while her feet were being kept warm by her digimon partner and her talking cat, Astrate. She too had a smile on her face, her hand was covering the necklace she wore, which was the letter 'P' hanging from a silver chain.
Tai found himself dosing off but caught himself. He stirred the fire and was almost hit with a flying cinder. "Watch out for the fire sparks." he warned.
The fire spark landed on something, which moved. Then a few minutes later the island where the kids were, began to shake. Suddenly a teal, sea-dragon like digimon emerged from the water. He snarled at the two boys and their digimon.
Back in the trolley car, everyone heard the snarl and were scared. Then suddenly the trolley car began to move, towards the sea-dragon digimon. "Oh no!" exclaimed Tigermon. "That's Seadramon!"
The bridge connecting the small island and the shoreline was destroyed, separating Matt and Gabumon from the rest of the gang. Then Seadramon began to pull the smaller island by his tail, not realizing the kids on it. Seadramon then suddenly turned around and Tai realized that the red leaf was his tail. Seadramon dived underwater and began to push the island straight into the shore. On the shoreline, Matt dived in the water and began to swim towards the rest of the gang. Gabumon was close on his heels.
Seadramon had the kids stranded and all of the digimon began attacking him. Of course that only annoyed the digimon.
"Agumon digivolved!" Tai exclaimed.
"I've been trying but I can't get it to work." Agumon softly replied.
Mina turned to her partner. "What about you Labramon?" the dog digimon shook her head.
"T.K.!" Matt called, still swimming towards the others. T.K ran to the edge of the island and called out to his brother to be careful. But Seadramon rammed into the island again and T.K fell into the water.
"T.K.!" Piper called. Astrate handed her a staff, similar to the one Mina had before, as Piper was running to the edge. "Hang on T.K." she thought. Then she yelled, "Harmony Star Power!" as Piper dove into the water, she glowed a silver light. When she came up with T.K, she was another Sailor Scout. Piper had transformed into Sailor Harmony.
"Thanks Piper." T.K thanked. Piper/Harmony smiled.
"Piper, take T.K back to shore for me. I'll distract Seadramon." Matt said. Piper nodded. "Be careful." she saw T.K back to shore while Matt distracted the sea-dragon digimon.
Gabumon attacked Seadramon but it had no effect. In return, Seadramon flipped his tail and sent Gabumon flying. The he used his tail to drag Matt under the water. On the sore, Piper gasped. She quickly dove back in and swam down to save Matt. She reached out her hand and grabbed his, while she used the heel of her silver boot to stab Seadramon's tail. He let out a roar of pain and released his hold on Matt. The two then swam for the surface. They gasped for air. Matt turned to the Scout who saved him, "Thanks Piper." he smiled.
"Swim now. Thank later." she replied, grabbing Matt's arm and swam for the shore. Seadramon noticed the two kids swimming away. He dove after to follow them. Within his reach he got his tail both around Matt and Sailor Harmony and dragged them both underwater. The seconds later, he had them above the surface, but he was crushing them.
"Gabumon! Tigermon!" they called to their partners, still being crushed by Seadramon. The devices they found at camp began to glow, and so did Gabumon and Tigermon. The two digimon looked at each other and nodded. "Matt! Piper!" the shouted, and they began to change as well.
Gabumon changed into a beautiful wolf with silver-white fur and blue stripes. He digivolved into Garurumon.
Tigermon changed into a bigger version of herself. This time however, she resembled more of an adult tiger. She digivolved into Bengalmon.
The two digimon dove into the water and attacked Seadramon. Garurumon attacked him head-on while Bengalmon went for the tail, freeing Piper and Matt. As the two kids hit the water, they watched as the wolf and Bengal tiger digimon faced against the giant sea-dragon digimon. "C'mon let's get out of here." Matt said, taking Piper's arm and swimming to the shore. "One sec." Piper said. She turned to the sea-dragon digimon and pointed two fingers at him. "Harmonizing Celestial Strike!" a beam of silver and gold light his Seadramon in the head, giving Bengalmon and Garurumon the upper hand in battle. "Now we can go." she smiled and the two swam straight for the shore. They were helped back up by T.K and Rini.
"Are you two alright?" Rini asked.
"Yeah we're fine." Piper said, placing her gloved hand on Rini's shoulder.
"Thanks again Piper." Matt smiled at her.
The Sailor Scout nodded, "Sure thing." she smiled and continued to watch the battle between Seadramon, Garurumon and Bengalmon.
Seadramon unleashed an icy-breath blast at the other two digimon. "Oh no. Seadramon is using his lethal 'Ice Blast'.
In a matter of seconds, Garurumon and Bengalmon were covered in a sheet of ice and snow. But that didn't faze them. Garurumon unleashed his 'Howling Blaster' attack, which was an icy-blue flame attack. Bengalmon assisted with her 'Bengal Rings' attack, which were fiery rings that stunned her enemy. But the two attacks combined were enough to defeat Seadramon. Piper and Matt cheered, and slapped a high-five. Garurumon and Bengalmon returned to their normal forms, Gabumon and Tigermon.
The two little digimon swam back to shore and were greeted with a thanks from their human partners. Piper picked up her little tiger digimon, "Thank you Tigermon. You digivolved just in time." she said, kissing the top of her digimon's head. Tigermon purred softly.
T.K gave Gabumon a hug and thanked him for saving Matt. Then he turned to Piper, he gave her a hug as well, "Thanks Piper for saving me. And my brother too."
The Sailor Scout smiled and placed her arm around T.K, "Anytime little one."
Matt cleared his throat, "Yeah, thanks Piper."
She blushed, but calmly replied, "Sure. Hey our digimon make a great team. Don't ya think."
Matt nodded. "Yeah, they rock." Piper smiled. She touched the brooch in the middle of the silver bow on her chest and glowed a silver light. The a second later, was back in her normal cloths. Astrate jumped on her shoulders and rubbed against Piper's cheek, purring softly.
"Now how are we going to get back?" Rini asked.
Sealmon and Gomamon jumped into the water, soon dozens of little fishes began pushing the small island back to shore.
When they reached the shore everyone was happy, and exhausted.
"There seems to be a pattern here." Izzy noted. "This time only Gabumon and Tigermon were able to digivolve"
Reye sighed, "That's right. It was only Agumon and Labramon that could do it before."
Tai remembered when he and Mina were being squeezed by Shellmon. "That's right. Agumon and Labramon digivolved to save me and Mina."
"It's all making sense." Izzy said. "Our digimon digivolve when we're in danger." Reye nodded in agreement. Seconds later, the gang decided to catch a few minutes of rest.
A few feet away from everyone else, T.K was asleep next to Matt, who was playing his harmonica. Patamon was curled up next to T.K. Tigermon and Gabumon were asleep in front of Matt and Piper. Astrate was curled into a ball, asleep in Piper's lap. As Matt was playing his harmonica, Piper's eyes began to close. Unconsciously, she leaned her head on Matt's shoulder, she sighed. Matt glanced out of the corner of his eye and smiled. Piper smiled as well. A faint smile formed as she sighed one last time.
Two more digimon have digivolved and another Sailor Scout revealed. And it seems romance my be in the air. Wonder what's gonna happen next? Find out in the next chapter of "When Destinies Collide"…
