Blast From The Past To Adventure

Biyomon Gets Firepower

APOV

"Akane, will you stop jumping from a tree to the next?" I heard Joe as I manage to hop to another branch. We all woke up after a good morning sleep, then after the incident with Seadramon and Gabumon manage to digivolve into Garurumon.

"I'm fine, Joe." I tell him while I get ready to jump again. Not until I heard Sora cried out when I heard that a plane flew by, which cause myself to lose my balance and fall off, meeting my stomach on the ground.

"Ahhh! Oof! Ow, that's gonna leave a mark."

"Did you hear that?" I heard Tai when Gaomon and Palmon helped me up.

"It seem to be some kind of aircraft." Matt said when we all saw a black object flew up, which I think I saw it was a flying gear.

"Admit it," Izzy cuts in. "my alien theory is becoming more plausible." Him and his alien theory.

"Are you okay, Akane?" Gaomon asked me as I fix myself.

"I'm fine, Gao, thanks." I pet him on his head, then I did the same on Palmon since the two helped me up from my fall while we hear Joe about antigravity or something. Not until I heard TK yelped when everyone look over to see something grab him as I made my way over to him and help him up.

"Oh, that was scary." He said when it turns out to be a root from a tree, which it made me feel relief.

"Watch it." We heard Matt.

"That could've been snake or worst." Tai said.

"Oh, I'm sorry," TK hug me as I hug him back.

"It's okay, TK, we're just glad you're fine, that's all." I told him as I send Tai an older sister glare, telling him to back off.

"Hey, Biyomon, are there really snakes here?" TK asked the pink bird.

"No, just giant flying killer bugs and other unpleasant Digimon." She said when Patamon came in.

"Don't worry, TK, I'll take care of them." Me and Gaomon look at each other with grins on our faces.

"Okay, now that's settled, let's get going." I heard Sora as I went back climbing on the tree. Hey, you guys should know by now that I don't want to be around with the kids, except for TK and the Digimon since Tai is already getting my nerves.

I can feel the Digimon were watching me while everyone else chat, especially when I heard Matt about where are we suppose to go next.

"Geez, Matt, lighten up," I said as I manage to jump onto another branch. "Hup!"

"Coming from a girl who's monkeying around."

"I heard that." I heard him yelped, hearing Gao and Gabu laughing.

"This is silly," I heard my annoying neighbor. "I say we keep moving and see if we can find any signs of intelligent life here." That made me raise an eyebrow when I was hanging upside down beside him, seeing him jumped. "Yikes! Geez, Akane, warn the guy, will ya?"

"Are you saying that the Digimon aren't that smart?" I asked him with my arms folded, seeing him with a stress look on his face while he's trying to think of a way to explain it.

"Is that what he's saying?" I heard Biyomon when I saw her rubbing her head against Sora's legs.

"Not at all," Sora said. "But, I think Tai's right, We need to keep moving in hopes to finding out where we are." She said while I grab the branch to flip myself over and landed on my feet, like I did in a balance beam back in school while Sora continue rambling about staying calm and working together, not realizing that the team is leaving. I made my way over to her.

"Uh, Sora, I didn't mean to interrupt, but the team is leaving us." The two of us look over and Sora got mad.

"Geez, thanks a lot for waiting," She said as me and her catch up to them. "Thanks for the headups, Akane." I nodded, then the two of us with our Digimon manage to be with the team.

Like I said before, me and her rarely talk, but that doesn't mean I should be ignoring her and leaving her alone like few seconds ago. She is also Tai's best friend, the two knew each other before I've came into the city.

"Moving right along, folks, keep it moving." I hear Matt, being a tour guide. "Our next stop on the tour would be the Forest of Irrelevant Road Signs. No pictures, please?" I was pretending to do that before he said it, making myself giggle a little. Not until I saw something that caught my eyes.

"Holy poly, guys, look." We saw an opening to a desert with broken telephone poles that aren't connected.

"I say we should follow it and see where they lead." Matt said when he came by my side.

"It'll lead to trouble." Joe said, more like complaining. I roll my eyes. All of the sudden, we heard a familiar sound, which we saw a flying gear in the sky. Which to Izzy's case, alien saucer.

Seriously, did that kid watch a documentary about aliens invading the planet? Anywho, we started to walk into the desert, being cover in sweats from humid and the heat wave, even worst, the sun beaming down on us.

"Boy, it's so hot, I can feel the heat coming up from my socks." TK said tiredly. The poor thing.

"Well, TK, maybe you should put your shoes back on." Matt tell his little brother while I look down at Gaomon, seeing him look tired. I quickly unwrap my sweater from my waistline and cover his head with it.

"Here you go, buddy, how do you feel?"

"A little better," He grins up at me. "Thanks, Akane."

"No problem, Gao." I grin back at him when I notice a certain goggle-head been staring at me, but I decided to ignore him as I continue walking.

"This hot desert air is destroying my complexion," That's coming from the princess herself. "How much further is it?"

"Is that all you worried about, Mimi?" I hear Joe. "We'll be lucky if we even survive this hike." I roll my eyes at that.

"Hey, does anybody besides me, see that these telephone poles have no connecting wires?" I heard Sora since I was the first one who notice it.

"She's right, I wonder if these actually are telephone poles, maybe some odd alien equivalence." Geez, enough about the alien theories, Izzy. After that being said, Mimi bought up about telephone booths and the cart while Joe complains about being roasted piglets.

"Joe, relax." I jumped in. "We only been walking for two minutes, chill."

"I don't think he's going to be relax if he continue acting the way he is." Gaomon said, making me bonk my fist on his head. "Ow, what?"

"Not helping, Gaomon." I scolded my canine friend, seeing him stuck his tongue at me.

"You won't believe what happen to my favorite watch." Mimi came in and everyone look into it. "The sun melted the numbers right off."

"Mimi, for somebody who hate hiking, you sure have a lot of compasses." Tai said while the needle go crazy. "Of course, none of them really work." I shook my head and began to walk again while I heard Izzy about the dirt is messing with the needle.

"Oh, well, I'm always late, anyway." I hear Mimi giggle while I wipe the sweat off my forehead. Tai keep glancing at my direction when I caught him, but he quickly look away and I can see the redness on his ears.

Of course, he's only doing that to see how am I doing with this heat. I thought, but it was nice of him, though.

"This is one weird world and I don't like it one little bit." I hear Sora.

"I think we should start looking for water, guys," Izzy said. "Otherwise, we could dehydrate in all this heat."

"You bought up a good idea, Izzy." I told him as I look over at my canine friend with my sweater over his head and he still look tired. As for myself, I had a heat stroke before, which is why Tai been staring at my direction to see it'll happen again.

"We're doing okay for now, aren't we?" I heard him say when all of the sudden...

"HELP! SOMEBODY, PLEASE FIND US!" I face palmed. Yep, the heat gotten to her, all right. About few seconds later, we continue walking to find some shade or water at least.

"I've taken a soil sample, measure the barometric center and analyze the humidity." I hear Izzy.

"And what did you find out?" Sora asked.

"It's really, really hot." Geez, thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious.

"Hang on just a little longer," Tai said. "Don't give up, now." He encouraged us.

"We're gonna be okay," Mimi said when she appeared by my side with Palmon. "Just keep moving along."

"My head is baking," Palmon said. "If this goes on too much longer, I'm going to look like wilted salad." I watch Mimi taken off her hat and gave it to her partner.

"Here, wear my hat for a while, you need it more than I do."

"That's nice of you, Mimi." I tell her when she look up at me and I saw concern look on her face. "What?

"Are you feeling okay, Akane? You look like you're ready to pass out." I wipe the sweat off my forehead.

"I'll be fine, Mimi, I'm used to it." As soon I took another step, I almost fainted, if weren't for Mimi and Gaomon for catching me. "Whoa."

"Akane, are you okay?" I can hear the worry tone in my partner's voice, but I quickly stood up.

"I'm fine, just feeling a little dizzy." I look over at Mimi. "Can you stay close to me, if it happens again, Mimi?" She nodded.

"Sure, Akane, anything you need." Even though she can be annoying, but she can be somewhat nice for what she did to Palmon and she did what I told her to do. I have a feeling me and her would be okay friends.

"P.U, what's that yucky smell?" I heard TK when I heard Gaomon sniffed the air, then he just stood still and fainted, causing Palmon to laugh while I shook my head.

"Now you know why they called it sweat socks." I said when I smell my own, hearing Mimi giggling when she saw the sour look on my face. I watch Palmon helped my partner up as we continue walking.

"Hold it, I have to stop." All of us stop, because of Biyomon. "I just don't think I can go any faster." The poor thing, she's even worst than me and she can fly!

"You have to stay positive," Sora cuts in. "Let's all pretend that it's raining." That made Biyomon really happy as she made her way over to her partner and rub her head against Sora's leg. I smile at the scene, getting the idea.

"Yeah, that's a great idea, I simply adore the rain." The pink bird said.

"Me, too," Matt said as he look back at us. "but, it's time for a reality check, this isn't getting any better." He explained. "It might be a good idea to turn around and get out of this desert."

"You're joking, right?" I asked sternly, seeing him having a sweat drop moment. Not until I saw my wild haired neighbor is using his mini telescope. "What on earth are you looking at, Tai?"

"It's not a mirage." What the hell is he talking about? "It's real water." Wait, what?

"Water?" Biyomon and Gaomon perked up.

"This is fantastic, now we all need is some lemons, sugar and some big fat ice cubes." Joe said with a relief smile on his face.

"It look like a village, maybe we'll find people." Izzy said.

"And shade." I hear Palmon.

"And make it quick, I don't think I can make it." Mimi helped me up again when I almost fainted. Geez, since that heat stroke when I was a kid, I don't think I can take another one.

"Hang on, Akane, I got you." Tai went ahead and volunteer to put me on his back, like he did when we were little. I feel a little relief.

"Thanks, buddy." I told him, seeing him grin up at me.

"Come on, let's get out of this desert." And we did when we started running. I can't help, but wondering. Was that jealousy I'm sensing from a certain blond? I shook my head to snap out of it.

As soon we got to the village, everybody, even myself, were stunned. The village is so tiny with small huts that are the same height as little TK, there's an abandoned ship near the river and there were also a group of Yokomon, greeting us and our Digimon as I got off Tai's back.

"From so far away, everything looked so big." He said while he's walking around and I stayed by Gaomon since he gave me back my sweater, well, he place it over my head, so I can get some shade. He was right, it feels nice.

"Okay, question," The two of us heard Biyomon. "who here knows where we can get a drink?"

"And just what do giant Digimon drink?" One of them asked. I think they're preferring to Sora, which it made me giggle. I went ahead to look around myself since I'm feeling better, even though my sweater is making it worse, so I wrap it around my waist and check out the cute little village.

Gaomon is by my side, in case I need his head for me to lean if I fainted, but again, I feel fine. I hear Biyomon is explaining her little friends about how she digivolved and saying that she protected Sora throughout the journey we've been going through. I thought about the first time Gaomon digivolved into Gaogamon as I look down at him. He met my gaze with curiosity in his golden eyes.

"What's up, Akane?" I smile and mess with his head.

"Nothing, Gao, just thinking." I told him, hearing him chuckle a little.

"Water! Water!" The two of us heard TK when we look over and saw the little guy and the team were making their way over to a water fountain as we follow them.

"Oh, the water here is pipe in from a spring Mihirashi mountain," One of the Yokomon said. "It's the best water in the world."

"Forget the world, Mount Mihirashi water is the best in all the galaxy." Tentomon said.

"Where is Mount Mihirashi?" I asked one of the Yokomon when they all turn to look.

"Up there." They said and I whistle at the sight.

"Hey, that's a live volcano." TK said.

"Yes, but the heat boils away the germs." One of them say. Then, all of the sudden, we heard a gurgling sound that was coming from the fountain, and then, a pillar of fire came out, causing everyone to stand back while I held TK close to me.

"That's cool, but I didn't still get a drink." TK pouts, making me having a sweat drop moment.

"The water evaporated." One of the Yokos comment. "That's okay, because the lake is always full of water." I went to go check it out with everyone behind me. When we got there, we were stunned. The lake is completely dried up.

"The water's all gone." Izzy said.

"Goodness, where did it go?" Mimi asked as I kneeled down, but I was so stupid, I almost lost my balance.

"Eep!" I've felt someone's hands grab my arms and I crash into his chest. "Oof!"

"I got you." It was Matt when I look up and saw his blue eyes. "You okay?" I notice how close I am as I move away from him.

"I'm fine," I clear my throat, then fix my bandana, even though I can feel a tint of blush on my face. Not until me and him heard Tai screaming when we look over and saw him doing some stupid dance that would bring the rain.

The whole reason why, because the pillar of fire shot up from the fountain again, which it got me curious.

"Hey, Matt, remember the flying gear we saw earlier?" I asked him, seeing him nodded since he's getting the idea when the two of us look back at the mountain.

"Great, out of all hillsides out there, the gear crashes Mihirashi Mountain." Sora sighed.

"That's right, the water comes from a lake on top of Mount Mihirashi," I hear one of the Yokos. "So, the gear crashing into the mountain could upset the water supply, we don't dare go up there."

"How come?" I asked.

"Because, the mountain is being guarded by a fiery Digimon called Meramon." A Yokomon said. "He's hideously dangerous."

"You can say that again, here he comes." Gaomon pointed as I look up and gasped in surprise.

"He burns everything he touches!" The Yokomon started freaking out. "He never comes down off the mountain, though, this is a very strange behavior of him."

"Meramon is a fiery Digimon," Palmon said. "There's no reason he should be in pain from his own flames, that's his nature." Could it be?

I thought about the black gear and I have a hunch that Meramon probably damage the water supply when the gear landed on him, instead of the mountain. I look down

"Gaomon, let's go and help him."

"Right." The two went ahead and jump off the cliff of the dry up lake, sliding down to land.

"Akane, are you crazy?!" I heard Sora.

"Akane, come back!" I heard Tai as the two of us continue sliding with Meramon closing in. I manage to land on my feet and Gaomon landed in front of me.

"Ready, boy?"

"Ready when you are, Akane." And he began to digivolve. "Gaomon, digivolve to...Gaogamon!" I went ahead mounted on his back and goes ahead attack. "Spiral Blow!"

"Arrgh!" The attack only made Meramon to stay away from the little Yokomon while I heard the team getting them to safety. The fire Digimon went ahead and fought back, but Gaogamon manage to dodge away.

"Whoa!" I held on to his fur, not realizing that I've felt something burning. It was my glove that burning my right hand. "Ah, damn it!" I quickly pull my glove off and saw a red mark on my palm. "Ow, no wonder he said he's in pain."

"Akane, look." I look up and gasped. Biyomon isn't with the team. She's helping the little Yokos get to safety, but what worst is that Meramon is after her!

"Biyomon, behind you!" We watched her and Meramon just backhanded her, seeing her falling off the other side of the cliff. "Biyo!"

"Hey, Meramon!" Gaogamon went ahead and jump to the village to stop the fire Digimon. "Backhand this, Spiral Blow!" I got off while my friend is busy fighting him as I made my way over where Biyomon landed and saw her with Sora. I felt relief.

"Oh, thanks goodness." Not until I felt something warm behind me when I got scared. "Time for me to go!" I jumped off and slide while Meramon attacked. "Ahhh!"

"Ah! Oof!" I crashed into Sora while Biyomon flew off and went to go help Gaogamon.

"Akane, stay with Sora." The two of us watch her go and fought Meramon. Gaogamon helped her out from behind while Agumon and the rest came in to help.

Meramon toss a fireball towards the pink bird, seeing her gotten hit and landed in front of the Digimon while Gaogamon jumped in and continue fighting, but he too, got hit and fall off after he reverted back to Gaomon. Tai encouraged our Digimon friends to fight back, but fighting back wasn't the answer, Meramon is getting bigger, seeing him still in pain.

"If we knew why was he crying, it might help to stop him." Tai sad when I completely forgot about the gear.

"The gear!" I look over and saw Biyomon is getting up. I made my way over to her. "Biyomon, are you okay?"

"Where's Sora?" The two of us look over and saw that Sora look defeated. Seriously, Sora? The pink bird stood up and say, "We're all in trouble, Meramon cannot be allowed to win, my friends need my help now." All of the sudden, I saw something glowing from Sora, which is was the device that made Biyomon digivolve to...

"Birdramon!" She became a red fiery bird as she tackle and lift Meramon into the air, away from us. I cheered for our newly bird friend.

"We'll be safe now," I hear Sora. "Biyomon digivolved to rescue us." Not until the fight gotten serious.

Birdramon cried out in pain when Meramon threw a fireball at her, then another while Sora, myself and Gaomon guided her to get out of the way and motivating her to fight.

"Meteor Wings!" She called out, seeing bright fire attack came from her wings, attack Meramon directly, which it made him shrunk with the black gear coming out of his back and vanished.

"Yep, just as I thought," I said with my hands on my hips. "The black gear landed on Meramon, not Mount Mihirashi." I received a punch from Sora. "Ow, hey." The two of us giggle when Biyomon came in and Sora caught her partner in her arms.

"Every time I'm in danger, Biyomon comes to my rescue." I smile at the scene. "That's what I called a friend."

"You bet." I told her when I look down at my own and pet him on his head, hearing him chuckling.

"At least I wasn't afraid," Biyomon said. "All I could think of was about saving you, because well, you know." I giggle and Gaomon laugh a little since we got the idea what Biyomon meant.

Which, it reminds me from the beginning when all of us got here and met Wanyamon. I knew me and Gaomon would get along really well, I have a feeling that our bond will grow throughout our journey in Digital World.

Later...

After the incident, we were with Meramon, seeing him that he's being himself when the Yokomon asked him questions and such when the fire Digimon look over at my direction, seeing him made his way over to me and Gaomon.

"During the fight, did I burn your hand?" Oh, I forgot about that. I look at it and saw the red mark is still there.

"It doesn't hurt that much." I said while I smile up at him. "I know you don't mean harm, Meramon, all's forgiven."

"You got that right." Gaomon said with his arms folded, making me bonk him on the head again. "Hey, what?" Meramon chuckled our goofy scene, then he began to leave while he's waving at us and the team.

"See ya later, Meramon!" I waved at him while everyone gotten food from the little Yokos. Turns out, it was a big bowl of grains, which it made me giggle as I look over at Sora and Biyomon, seeing the two gotten close since the last battle.

I look over at the sunset and it turns out to be really pretty. I wonder what other surprises the Digital World has for us in store?

Leave a review.
