Episode 4: "Together, They are Strong: Garurumon and Greymon Emerge"

"G'mon Guilmon, blast faster!" his hotheaded partner yelled at him. Trevor and Guilmon have been training for the past two hours, trying to get Guilmon stronger.

The raptor digimon panted in exhaustion. "Trevor, I'm tired. Can't we just rejoin everyone else in the clearing?"

The black-haired digidestined sighed, "Fine. We can go back."

The two walked back to camp just below the digital mountains. The moon just emerged in the sky as they approached the cave, weary from training all day. Two blondes came out of the cave, both with disappointed faces on.

"Where were you?" Tawny asked. Her and her sister gave Trevor a disgusted look.

"We had to send Gabumon and Agumon to look for you two!" Ellena said loudly.

"Relax, we didn't go far," Trevor said as he walked into the cave. He went over to the rest of the team in the back, where they were warming themselves by the fire. Guilmon went to join Veemon, Kudamon, and Dorumon. Dorumon de-digivolved from Dorugamon just hours before. He had to carry the injured digimon after the fight with Meramon yesterday. Darryl walked over from his digimon partner with a content look on his face.

"He's asleep, poor guy."

His friends nodded in agreement.

"He was really strong to carry all of our digimon," Jacob said. His partner, Veemon, was sitting next to him, being warmed by the fire.

Ellena walked over to the guys. "Hey, I'm gonna go out and look for Gabumon and Agumon. My sister is coming with me." She said.

Darryl nodded, "Be back soon."

"We'll try," and with that, Ellena and Tawny were off.

******

"Agumon! Where are you?" Yelled Tawny. She and Ellena have been looking for their digimon for the past two hours. They haven't seen any trace of them; not even a footprint.

"Gabumon! Come on out! It's not funny any more!" Ellena was getting worried.

"It feels like we're going in circles." Tawny complained as she put her arms around her head.

"We probably are." Sighed her sister. Ellena started to get worried. All of a sudden, both of their digivices started to beep.

"Huh? What's going on?" Ellena looked at the watch and started to tap the screen. Tawny had a different approach. She kept on walking; the beeping increased in speed. She stepped into a clearing, where she saw Agumon and Gabumon lying knocked out on the ground.

"Ellena! Get over here!" She called to her sister. She ran quickly to her sister. She gasped and ran over to her fallen companion. She tried to lift up his head, but it fell to the ground like a rock falling from the sky. She turned to see her sister do the same with Agumon.

"I wonder how this happened," wondered Tawny.

"I can answer that!" said a deep, male voice.

The two girls turned to see a giant flower with purple leaves, green stems for legs, and four "arms" with fangs on the ends. This digimon towered over the humans, being more intimidating than others. The girls screamed and hugged each other as they were captured by the vegetation digimon.

******

"The girls have been out for a long time," Lucas pointed out, "should we go look for them?" It's true: five hours passed in the cave, and no sign of the girls.

Darryl nodded. The thought that they have been out that long worried him, more than the thought that Trevor was out for even longer. He went to wake his partner from his long sleep. The rest of the guys and their digimon arose from their seats and walked to the entrance of the cave, waiting for their friend. Darryl and Dorumon went to the front of the group and ran off into the night, with their friends following them.

After thirty minutes of running, they boys got tired.

"Where could they be?" Jacob said in between breaths.

"I have no idea," Darryl announced. "We've ran over five miles, and still no sign of them."

Dorumon spoke up, "I can help with this some more."

Darryl nodded and took the watch in his hand. He twisted the top and said the activation code.

Initiate! Digivolution Activate!

Dorumon digivolve to…

Dorugamon

"I can take a look from the skies," Dorugamon said as he flew up into the night sky.

"See anything from up there?" Darryl called out.

"Just a giant flower holding an orange dino- AGUMON!" Dorugamon cried. He flew fast to the giant flower digimon, with the kids following him on foot.

"Wait up Dorugamon!" Screamed Darryl.

They ran for about a mile before they came to a clearing with a giant flower digimon holding Tawny, Ellena, and their digimon partners in it's vine-like tentacles.

"Kudamon, what is that thing?" Lucas asked his partner.

"That's Blossomon, a vegetation digimon. He's ruthless to his roots. Watch out for his Spiral Flower attack! It can rip through anything." Kudamon informed.

A smile crept along Trevor's face. He turned to Guilmon and said, "Let's make short work of this creep. Let's go Guilmon!" The raptor nodded.

Pyro Sphere

Jacob turned to Veemon. "You too Veemon!"

"Right!"

Vee Headbutt

As Veemon collided with Blossomon, Guilmon's fire attack blasted as well. Smoke emerged. Veemon flipped up into the air and landed right next to his aggressive friend.

"You call that an attack?" Blossomon laughed. "Taste this!"

Spiral Flower

A vine shot from Blossomon's roots and knocked Veemon and Guilmon aside.

"Lucas, shall I help?" Kudamon willingly asked his partner.

"You can help by firing at the vines that hold Tawny, Ellena, and the digimon."

"Right!"

Holy Shot

The attack broke the vines holding Agumon and Gabumon, but it didn't break the vines holding the children.

"Thanks guys. We needed the help." Gabumon thanked Guilmon.

"No problem Gabumon," Trevor said.

Darryl called up to his digimon, "Dorugamon, let's finish this guy!"

"Couldn't agree more!"

Power Metal

Dorugamon flew towards Blossomon firing his metal attack.

Thorn Whip

The flower digimon whacked the attack aside, like it was nothing.

"Stupid humans with their stupid digimon," He said confidently.

Ellena and Tawny struggled in his grasp, their energy draining.

"Look at them Gabumon," Agumon told his friend. "We need to help!"

Without answering, Gabumon rushed forward, unleashing his attack.

Blue Blaster

Following his friend's lead, Agumon fired his fire attack upon the enemy.

Pepper Breath

The two attacks hit, but didn't leave a dent on Blossomon.

Spiral Flower

Vines knocked the two digimon into a tree, brutally injuring them. Tawny managed to look over and see Agumon on the ground, writhing in pain.

"Agumon…" She whispered softly. Her digivice started to give off a faint orange glow.

At the same time, Ellena had woken up like she was in a deep sleep. She looked right into Gabumon's eyes. She saw worry and pain.

"Gabumon…" She whispered softly. Her digivice gave off a faint cyan colored light.

The two digimon became covered in their respective lights.

"I'm…d-d-digivolving!" Gabumon exclaimed.

"Mmhm! Let's go rescue our partners!" Agumon yelled.

Agumon digivolve to…

Greymon

Gabumon digivolve to…

Garurumon

A small orange dinosaur no longer stood in Agumon's place. Instead, a large orange dinosaur with blue accents on its side and tail stood. This digimon had a large tail, large claws on his hands and feet, and a brown faceplate that had three horns, two for ears and one on the nose.

"RAWR! I am Greymon, dinosaur digimon. I fight alongside Garurumon, and together we form a strong force. My special attack is Nova Blast." The giant digimon roared.

Gabumon disappeared and a giant blue wolf appeared in his place. This digimon was a big wolf, with a long, thin tail, six feathers on its back, and big purple claws. Unlike Gabumon, who was bipedal, this wolf digimon stood on all fours and had very strong legs.

"GRRRRR! I am Garurumon, wolf digimon. Greymon and I fight alongside one another, and no one can stop us. Howling Blaster is my special attack." Growled the giant wolf.

The two stood alongside each other and stared at Blossomon menacingly, but the flower digimon didn't take it seriously.

"You two will go down like the others, no matter how big you get!" roared Blossomon.

Spiral Flower

Garurumon dodged the attack and leaped forward. His mouth became icy cold, and he fired his own attack.

Howling Blaster

Greymon ran toward the spinning flowers that shot at him, knocking them aside like paper. His horn on his nose glowed and stabbed Blossomon in an uppercut.

Horn Impulse

Blossomon flew upwards to the sky, releasing the children from the great attacks.

"Greymon, let's take care of this guy once and for all." Garurumon told his best friend.

"Let's," Greymon called. His mouth started to flame. He pointed the sky.

Nova Blast

A great fire released from his mouth, lighting up the sky. Garurumon also pointed his mouth to the sky as he released his attack.

Howling Blaster

The two attacks fused into a blue and red fire. It hit the vegetation enemy with a big bang and turned him into pure data. The data flew towards the center of the forest. Greymon and Garurumon de-digivolved and went over to their partners. The boys stood in awe from their friends' digimon.

Darryl was the first to speak, "Congrats Tawny and Ellena." He told them this as they rose to their feet, somewhat dazed.

Jacob turned to Veemon, "When do you get to digivolve?"

Veemon waved his hands defensively, "I have no idea Jacob. We have no control over it."

"Well," Trevor grabbed Guilmon around the neck "we'll be the next to digivolve!"

"Fat chance bud! Veemon and I are gonna train hard!"

"What are you gonna teach him? Bad jokes? Cause that's all you know!"

"Oh just cause you're a student in karate doesn't make you the next one to digivolve!"

"You'll see! I'll train Guilmon better than ever!"

Their partner digimon looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what they were talking about. Darryl stepped in to break up his two friends.

"Guys! We have a mission to achieve! You two aren't helping by fighting each other. To digivolve, you fight the enemy." He screamed at both of them.

Jacob sighed, "I guess you're right."

Lucas spoke up for the first time as Kudamon climbed to his favorite position on the human's shoulder.

"I don't want Kudamon to digivolve. If we can be tactical about it, we can win every battle."

Trevor scoffed and turned away. Ellena pulled Tawny's shirt and she asked one of the best things everyone's heard all day.

"Guys, how are we gonna get out here? Blossomon put us in the middle of the forest, away from all of our stuff."

Darryl looked up, to the left, and to the right. He facepalmed. The youngest member was right, they were abandoned in the middle of the forest.
