Taichi: Hey guys, Tai again. Last time, Kari was literally drained unconscious because I was being too stupid to think. Mimi, Joe, and Iz later ran into a blonde girl named Claire, and her Elecmon.

Meanwhile at camp I was taking Kari's illness way too seriously, and made Sora remember our past with Rei Saiba.

After that, we were under attack by Seadramon, and then Gabumon and Elecmon Digivolved into Garurumon and Lionessmon to save the day.

"Good Morning, Onii-Chan!"

"Kari!" Taichi cried and hugged his sister in tears. "I'm sorry.. I should have paid attention."

"You're the best brother ever." She smiled at him, only breaking him even more.

-Line Break-

"I'm sorry, sir!" The demon-like Digimon said. "We lost.."

The boy rubbed his finger on his chin. "No. It is only just beginning. I wanted to test them, however, this time it's different.."

"Um... What do you mean?"

The emperor gazed at the new girl so-called Claire, and Kari. "You're not supposed to be here, Child of Light. Not yet."

Episode Four: The Sacrifice of Courage?!

After the group had packed their things, the nine children and ten Digimon had set off on their adventure to find home. "Taichi," Claire frowned, and wiped her brow. "I'm starting to get hot."

"We're all hot!" Mimi complained. "I swear that it's at least a million degrees!"

"Normally Mimi," Koushiro began. "I'd protest and tell you that be preposterous, but I know what you mean."

"We need to find shelter," Yamato said. "I saw a ravine not far from where we are now."

Taichi stopped, and looked to the three younger children. They were drenched in sweat, and with no doubt, they would have a heat stroke if they walked off any farther. "Matt's right. Let's head to that ravine."

The group nodded, and started to walk toward the direction of this so called ravine. "It's no ravine..." Joe said. "It's the top of a dune!"

"And look!" Sora pointed. "There's a village over there!"

Taichi smiled. "Maybe we could ask for directions?"

Kari nodded. "Let's go, nee-chan."

Tai nodded and then gasped. "That village is on fire!"

"No!" Sora cried.

"Let's go help them out!" Said Tai as he ran ahead. Veemon and Agumon ran behind him.

"Hey!" Agumon called. "Are you okay?" He asked the villagers, who appeared to be Yokomon. Taichi had remembered that radish-like Digimon, for that was what Piyomon was before she Digivolved.

"Help, please!" A Yokomon cried as she had bounced into Tai's arms.

"I've got it!" A black bird-like Digimon called as she flew down toward the village, flying back up to be seen carrying more Yokomon.

"Yeah! You go, Falcomon!" A girl cheered. She had the darkest blue hair, and a long sleeved navy blue shirt almost too big for her. She also had a black skirt with blue leggings underneath.

"Julie! Behind you!" Falcomon cried.

"Spiral Twister!" Piyomon said loudly as she fired a swirling flame at a large man made of fire.

"Oh no!" Tentomon gasped. "That's Meramon! An Adult level Digimon! This guy is usually very friendly! Whatever made him mad, must've been enough to make him burn down a whole village!"

"Wow, you think?" Palmon asked sarcastically.

"Yes!" Tentomon exclaimed, obviously not getting the sarcasm, causing the Digimon to sweat drop.

"Biyomon, be careful!" Sora said, and looked down at the ground underneath her, causing her to scream and fall.

"Sora!" Piyomon and Tai cried.

Sora groaned and woke up next to a pile of dirt. Where was she? She hoped that she wasn't lost... she didn't want to get hurt. She just wanted to go to camp with her best friend, and have fun.

Now, she was in some strange cavern. She looked around. "Hello?" Her voice echoed through the cave. Was she alone? "Hello?" She frowned when she had heard crying. "Don't worry, I'm com-" She started, when she turned around, and realized that she was at the grave. Right at the grave, she saw herself crying on her knees. Sora knew that she must kneel, and pay her respects...

...to the big brother she once had.

Taichi tried pulling the ground apart, not caring that Meramon was edging closer.

"Zero, we need to distract him before he hurts Tai!" Agumon told him.

Zero nodded, and then Tai's Digivice flashed white.

"Agumon Digivolve to..." "Veemon Digivolve to..."

"Greymon!" "Veedramon!"

"Nova Blast!" Greymon roared, firing a large ball of fire at the Digimon.

"Idiot!" Veedramon scowled. "Meramon is a fire man. Fire will only make him stronger!"

Greymon glared at him. "Provide a distraction is what you said to the Adult with fire based attacks!"

"Both of you, shut up!" Taichi stood up. "The two of you need to start getting along before someone gets hurt!"

Both Digimon looked at each other, and then at the Meramon.

"Right now, Sora is somewhere in the earth. If we don't find her..." Taichi didn't have to finish that sentence. She could starve down there. The group looked to the Meramon once more, and could swear that they heard a flash of black light.

"Digivolve NOW MERAMON!" The children heard, and then saw what they couldn't believe. The Meramon had morphed together to become one larger fire man. The color of the flames on his body was now blue, and he looked very powerful.

"BlueMeramon?!" Gomamon cried. "Guys, we need to get out of here! We don't stand a chance against this Perfect level Digimon!"

"Tai!" Kari shouted. Tai shook his head. "Matt, take Kari and go!"

"What?!" Matt protested. "We're not leaving you behind!"

Tai looked to the BlueMeramon and stood up. "I'll think of something. Go. Take Kari and the others to safety." He looked to them, and put his goggles over his eyes. "Hey! Blue guy! Come and catch me!"

"Tai, NO!" Kari screamed as she saw Tai run off and away from the BlueMeramon, clearly so that he'd stay away from the group.

Matt looked down, and grabbed Kari's hand. She tried to fight out of his grip, but failed. Matt was both older and stronger.

There was an explosion in the direction that Tai had ran. "Tai!" The group called.

Tai: Hey guys, it's Tai. Next time when I meet face to face with Meramon's boss, the rest of the kids think that I have sacrificed myself to save them! Kari and Julie however, aren't that convinced! Look out for the next Digital Monsters for more adventure!
