CHAPTER 4:

Tyke: Ow, my head. (Tyke sits up)

Tyke's eyes clear and he is now in a dark tunnel.

Tyke: Klaire? Rachel? Nick?

Tyke could see one end of the tunnel was white. The other end was covered with green lines.

Tyke: So I take it this is the other world.

Tyke stands up.

Tyke: Well, I can't go back now. (Tyke begins to walk towards the green end of the tunnel)

Tyke walks for about 15 minutes. Slowly the tunnel seems to be fading all around him yet he can still walk. Below through the transparent tunnel he can see water.

Tyke: Whoa...

Tyke continues to walk. Land below comes into sight. A small island.

Tyke: So how am I supposed to get dow... (Tyke feels like the wind has been knocked out of him)

Tyke slams right through an invisible barrier and green light and symbols surround him.

Tyke: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (It hurts for a moment and then subsides)

Tyke is now falling.

Tyke: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (He closes his eyes and then opens them)

Tyke's Digimon V-pet glows intensely.

Tyke: Awe... (Tyke grabs the Digimon V-pet and grasps it in his hand and points it downwards) DO SOMETHING!

Tyke is stopped about 10 feet from the sand of a beach and slowly lands on the ground like a feather.

Tyke: (Tears streaming down his face from the cold rush from the fall) I want to go home... TT
Tyke looks around. He sees the ocean, the sandy beach, and the edge of a tropical forest. Tyke looks at the sand and sees it is slightly shiny. He bends down and picks up some of the sand and lets it run through his fingers and looks at it.

Tyke: Metal? There are small traces of... metal?

BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Tyke: My V-pet.

Tyke looks at the V-pet. Another map is on the screen.

Tyke: Okay, this is getting freaky. This is a map of the island.

Tyke knowing what to do turns the device till the X is towards the top.

Tyke: I hope its leading me to some of the other kids. (Tyke begins to walk into the tropical forest)

Tyke: This is insane. Where the hell am I? Hawaii?

Numemon: RAAAAAAAARGHHHH! (Pops out of a bush an snatches the V-pet right out of Tyke's hand)

Tyke: What the hell? HEY! (Tyke pursues)

Numemon: (Turns around) NUMESLUDGE!

Tyke: . . . . . . . (Looks down at shirt) . . . . . o.o . . . . . . is that?. . . . . (Looks down at shirt

where poop was just flung onto it) . . . . . . . O. ; . . . . . WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? (Tyke conks the Numemon on the head)

Numemon: Raaaaaaaa! (His eyes start twitching madly)

Tyke: And gimme my V-pet! (Snatch)

Numemon: RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Noise in the distance: RAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Tyke: O.O (Tyke breaks into a run as the Numemon pursues him) WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THING!

More Numemon pursue Tyke.

Tyke: Help! (Tyke looks at the screen) Wait (Tyke turns right and keeps running. The X on the top is getting closer and closer to the center.) (Exhausted panting) Almost there...

Tyke stumbles out of the tropical forest and into the middle of a field. He can see what look like Zebra's with wings and masks. Tyke stops in his tracks and looks around.

Monochromon: RRRYAAAHHHHH! (A lazy monochromon passes about 25 feet away by Tyke)

Tyke: O.O Whoa... These are... Digimon...

Tyke walks a little more towards the X depicted on his V-pet until it is in the middle and blinks. On the ground is a giant yellow lizard that seems to be sleeping.

Tyke: Agumon?

Agumon: Hmmm? (Opens an eye)

Tyke: Are you my... Agumon?

Agumon stands up.

Agumon: Are you my... Agumon?

Tyke: O.o? Ummm...

Agumon: Ummm...

Tyke: Can you say anything except mimic me?

Agumon: Duck.

Tyke: Duck?... GYAAAAAAAA! (Tyke is smacked in the back of the head with poop) SICK! NOT THEM AGAIN!

About 12 Numemon are heading right at Tyke and Agumon.

Tyke: Agumon! Run!

Agumon runs towards them.

Tyke: What? NOOOO! Not that way!

Agumon slams right into the first three and they all run into each other and slump over.

Agumon: RAAAAAAAAH! PEPPER FLAME!

Tyke: Wha? (A small explosion of flame hits the Numemon at close range)

Agumon then jumps over them and runs back into the forest and to the left.

Tyke: Wait! (Tyke follows running through the Numemon) OUT OF MY WAY!

Numemon: Xx Owww (Stepped on) O.O RAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ... XX...

Tyke tries to keep up with Agumon who is now growling and running faster upward onto a giant hill in the tropical jungle.

Tyke: Where are you going? (Tyke loses sight of him) Agumon! Great, don't tell me I lost him. (Tyke looks at his V-pet and the map is gone and just a blank screen shows) Wait... Where is ... He really is my Agumon...

Distant Agumon: PEPPER FLAME!

Distant Javel: Syakomon! Destroy him!

Tyke: No... NOT HIM! (Tyke runs to where the voices emanated from to behold the sight of Agumon on the ground and Javel standing next to a giant clam. What the hell?

Javel: Is this your digimon?

Tyke: I think! LEAVE HIM ALONE! (The sky begins to get dim and dark)

Javel: A storm is coming... I should finish this scum off now.

Tyke: Noooo! Agumon!

Javel: You are that kid I saw not too long ago at the gateway.

Tyke: Wait... I didn't see you get in...

Javel: Mind your own business. You don't deserve to be here. Look at your digimon.

Tyke: Please... (The storm clouds gather above and thunder rolls) Leave him alone.

Javel: Pathetic. Finish him off Syakomon.

Syakomon opens up his shell and prepares to attack.

Tyke: Agumon! Get up! Please!

Agumon lays on the ground badly injured and struggling to get up.

Syakomon: BLACK PEARL SHOT!

Tyke: Agumon!

END FLASHBACK

Tyke: (Tears rolling down his face) Agumon... I am so sorry. What did I do to you? I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... (Tyke embraces the strange Koromon)

V-Koromon: ... (Stops trying to bite him and looks up at him)

Tyke: Agumon?

V-Koromon: J

Tyke: You do remember me... I am so sorry we didn't get to meet that much. You saved me from those things and everything happened so fast.

V-Koromon: (Blink Blink) J

Tyke: Are we still friends?

V-Koromon: (Chomp)

Tyke: Ahhh! (Drops the V-Koromon) Stop biting m... Oh? (The V-Koromon is sound asleep on the floor) What have I gotten myself into...
