Chapter 9: The Legend of Clovermon

After solving the problems that have developed within the group, they restarted to their voyage to get off the beach and towards the RQ. They were truding through the sand and hopefully, they were nearing the end of it. "I think that's grass up there!" Galemon said flying up getting a better view. The group looked up and saw a bit of green over the yellow and they all smiled with relief.

"Yes, no more sand in my shoes." Hiroki said grabbing his shoe and pouring the sand out of it.

"And that means we don't get to spend the night sleeping on sand." Lantermon said pointing to the setting sun beyond the horizon.

"Alright I want everyone to watch their step. We're entering a danger zone and it doesn't help us much if we can't see where we're stepping with our light disappearing." Charcomon said as he flew over Kouhei's head. Kouhei asked what he meant and he explained that when they usually near the end of a beach, there are usually mud pits and probably some trenches around here so they have to be more cautious around here.

"How dangerous are we talking aboouuuttt!" Toshiro suddenly started sinking in a large puddle of mud.

"Toshiro! Hold on their buddy, we'll get you out of there." Kouhei reassured the boy as Hiroki tried to reach him.

"I got you To, no need to worry." Hiroki told the sinking boy and almost fell in himself if it weren't for Mikiko grabbing the back of his shirt from preventing that.

"Careful, we don't need two of you in there." She said sternly putting her hands on her hips. They then saw the digimon trying to get the 8 year old out of there. Charcomon grabbed his hands while Floemon, Galemon and Lantermon flew above and pulled Charcomon.

"Ready guys!" Lyramon was going to count for them. "One, two, three, pull!" She cried as they all started tugging. Toshiro grabbed on to Charcomon and it seemed to be working when both suddenly starting losing their grip and the digimon fell back, landing in a large heap. They all groaned and disassembled.

"Hang on Toshiro, I'm comin!" Airi came back and grabbed a large stick then gave one end to Toshiro while everyone else pulled. And this time, Charcomon and Floemon were there by Toshiro to make sure that he didn't lose his grip and to make sure that he didn't sink any further.

"Alright, one, two, three, pull!" They all tugged and eventually got the boy out of the mud pit.

"That was horrible." Toshiro panted.

"Bad luck is all, at least it's over." Hakuei got up and dusted himself off, it seemed that Hakuei was starting to warm up to them and didn't complain or get annoyed once when Toshiro fell into the pit. They all smiled then continued on. They started to see more of the grass and also saw the division line of the sand and grass.

"Oh finally!" Miki started to run off of the sand and onto the grass when she suddenly tripped and fell down a small hill on her left, she was rolling and saw that from where she fell, there was sand all around her with water at her feet. At the same time she got caught in some seaweed that laid on the ground. When the others rushed over to see if she was alright, Airi's foot slipped in the same spot as Miki and fell down with the girl. Before Airi fell down following Mikiko, she grabbed Kouhei's vest and brought him as well. Hiroki, Toshiro and Hakuei tried to keep them grounded but ended up getting caught in the fall.

When they reached the bottom and caught up with Miki, they all groaned loudly. "Can this day get any worse?" Miki screamed. The digimon who were still up on the hill looked down at them.

"And what is this, a sand crater?" Airi exclaimed.

"Some day huh?" Bramblemon's ears drooped down as he used his attack to bring them back up.

Nature's Blessing

He called up some roots that lifted the kids back towards them. They all moaned as they hit the ground. "Thanks Bramblemon, that's a very handy attack you have there." Hiroki thanked him.

"What's up with this day? All of a sudden we start having bad luck?" Airi wiped her forehead.

"You know what you kids need? You need to rub the shell of a Clovermon." Lyramon tried to brighten up their mood. The kids looked at her with confused eyes. They had no idea what a Clovermon was but guessed it was a digimon.

"A Clovermon is said to be lucky right?" Galemon asked the rabbit digimon.

"Yup, and they could be found in large meadows." They walked towards what seemed to be a fairly large hill and found that they had ended up near a large field filled with loads of flowers, weeds and clover patches mixed in. The kids and digimon all looked around and were astonished by all of openness.

"You mean like this?" Toshiro pointed out.

"Exactly like this." Lyramon smiled. That was when a little brown digimon with long claws, a gray shell and a long tail with four green leaves on the end walked by. The kids watched it as it came across their vision and the little digimon didn't even seem to realize that they were there. Just then, Lantermon made a comment about how the four leaves on the tip of its tail looked a four leaf clover. Upon hearing that the little digimon scurried away as fast as she could which left the kids baffled.

"What was that about? I just said that her tail looked like a four leaf clover." Lantermon repeated what he said earlier. Then it hit them.

"That was Clovermon!" They exclaimed then ran to follow where the digimon went leaving Hakuei, Kouhei, Bramblemon and Charcomon.

"I can't believe they're running just because of a small digimon." Hakuei rolled his eyes.

"Hold on, why didn't you guys run?" Kouhei looked at the two digimon at his sides.

"I don't believe in luck..." Charcomon said simply, they then turned his attention to Bramblemon.

"It is dangerous to be chasing something that could camouflage itself in the dark." That was when Kouhei realized that they could get hurt or something and called everyone back. But it didn't seem that they heard him. He then groaned and went to follow them. He called out to them again but he found that they were searching around in a clover field.

"Are you guys still looking for Clovermon?" Charcomon asked them. They all nodded and continued their search.

"Come on guys, just leave him alone, I don't know how exactly how the little digimon feels but I'm sure that she's getting fed up with other trying to find her just because there's a rumour going around that she's lucky." Kouhei said as they all looked at each other.

"He's right." They heard a small voice and looked around. Then a small rock that they thought was a rock turned out to be Clovermon's shell. "It is getting tiring of hiding from everyone just because they think rubbing my shell is lucky."

"We're very sorry about all of this, Clovermon." Airi said picking up the little digimon.

"I understand why you kids think that you'd need help though since you are the first humans I've seen in the digital world." She smiled. "So what are you guys thinking of doing now, it is getting pretty dark out."

"Well, we should prepare for the night then." Hakuei crossed his arms and said casually. They all looked at him with curiosity as to what he meant. "Have you guys never been camping?" Then they understood. Charcomon said that he'll go with Floemon to gather some thick blades of grass to make a bed for everyone. Galemon and Lyramon decided to go look for food and Clovermon decided to show them around since she knew where to get everything. The kids all pitched in to make the site and Hakuei and Kouhei were making the fire.

"Alright, so do you know where to get the food Clovermon?" Lyramon asked her.

"Of course, this way!" She bounded off and they followed her. After a while, she started to dig and Lyramon and Galemon had no idea what to do but just waited until she came back. When she resurfaced her self, she was seen with little brown lumps.

"What are those?" Lyramon poked one.

"They're potatoes. I'm sure the kids'll love them." Clovermon said as she started to dig out some more. When they finally had enough that they couldn't carry any extras, they went back and found that Kouhei and Hakuei finally got the fire going, when Charcomon came back and blew a flame. Airi and Miki were making everyone's beds and Lantermon was busy making water out of the ice that Floemon made and pouring it into the root bowls that Bramblemon made.

"Hey guys, we brought potatoes." The girls cried.

"That's great! I haven't eaten a potato in a long time." Toshiro said coming over and helping them with a few.

"Alright, so let's get these washed them bake em over the fire." Airi said, helping as well. They dipped it in some of the water they had and rinsed off all the dirt. Then, they poked a stick through them so that they could place them over the fire. They waited a while before taking them off of the fire and eating them.

"Thank you Clovermon, for finding the food." Galemon looked at the brown digimon thankfully. Everyone then thanked her as well. She blushed and said that it was nothing. She then thanked them for stopping the luck hunt and became friends with her just because she was herself and not because other digimon thought she was lucky.

"So, now that we've eaten, who's going to take the first night watch?" Hakuei looked at everyone. They weren't sure who would do it since they were all pretty tired themselves.

"Well, Toshiro's to young to do it by himself and Airi and Miki should really get their sleep first before doing the job so I comes down to either you, me or Hiroki." Kouhei said.

"I'll do it with Toshiro..." Hiroki raised a hand and yawned.

"Alright so it's up to you Hakuei, do you want to take the first shift or do you want me to do it?" Kouhei smiled at the other boy.

"Whatever..." He said getting up and walked away from the group and sat on a large rock nearby.

"I guess he's taking it, no need to push yourself then Kou." Airi stretched then laid on the grass bedding. He nodded then laid down as well. Charcomon snuggled beside him and went to sleep. It was a nice, quiet night and everyone rested well but after a while, Kouhei couldn't really sleep and stood up. He found Hakuei on the same rock that he sat on when they first fell asleep. He walked up towards him and greeted him, trying not to startle the boy.

"Good evening, Kouhei, sleep well?" Floemon said smiling.

"It's not your turn yet you know that right?" Hakuei said coldly.

"Well, I just couldn't sleep." Kouhei said sitting at the base of the rock. "So, is everything fine?" Kouhei tried to make a conversation but Hakuei didn't really seem very interested. That didn't stop Hakuei though, he wanted them to become friends and he wanted to gain Hakuei's trust for some reason. He wasn't sure what that reason was but he knew that there was something telling him that they were meant to meet up. After asking another round of questions that Hakuei didn't really want to answer, he just sort of gave up and sat there in silence. Floemon didn't really know what to say at this time but decided that it'd be better to say something than nothing at all. When he opened his mouth, Hakuei suddenly started speaking, much to his surprise.

"Do you... miss you're family?" Hakuei hesitated to ask. Kouhei was kind of shocked at the broken silence but forgot about it and answered.

"Yah, I do... and you?" Hakuei hesitated to answer that as well but he slowly did.

"I... yah. My dad probably will but my brother, I'm not so sure about." Kouhei raised an eyebrow at that.

"What do you mean? I'm sure your brother cares for you very much even if he doesn't show it." Kouhei said but Hakuei just shook his head and remained silent again. Kouhei didn't know what to say now. He didn't want to ask about his brother, risking the fact that he might anger or upset him. He also noticed that he didn't talk about his mom but didn't ask about it either. Floemon then yawned and Kouhei said that they should get to sleep.

"Are you sure? You've been up almost as long as we had been." Floemon said with concern but Kouhei said that they should get to sleep. He walked over and shook Charcomon slightly saying that it was their turn to take watch. The gray digimon nodded and stretched. All of a sudden, Hakuei heard a low growl that come from the distance and ran behind the boulder to see what it was. Kouhei and their digimon followed him and too what had happened.

"Is there something out there?" Charcomon asked the boy.

"By the sounds of it, yah." Hakuei said in a hushed tone. They all looked over the rock and found that there were some digimon searching the fields. Floemon wondered what they were doing and Kouhei guessed that if they were here for the same reason that they were, they must be looking for Clovermon. After making that guess, he asked Floemon to put out the fire and he did so. Charcomon looked back at the digimon and suspected that they were tribe digimon but weren't sure from which one. Hakuei then got a nasty look in his eyes while watching the two digimon scavenging around and tearing up the plants in the meadow. He really couldn't take any more from these tribe digimon, they were seriously getting on his last nerve and he just really wanted to beat them to a pulp. He wasn't sure why, but he just didn't want other digimon messing with Clovermon. In the short time that they had gotten to know each other, the little digimon had grown on him and he didn't want her to have to keep hiding because of this crazy rumour. Hakuei then started to reach for his device so that he could digivolve Floemon but Kouhei grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"Hold on Hakuei, we shouldn't resort to that just yet." Kouhei whispered to him.

"So what are we going to do?" Hakuei asked him as he let his hand fall back to his side.

"Well, we should identify who those digimon are first. Charcomon?" Kouhei looked at his partner who squinted his eyes and tried to get the shape of the digimon. He got a smaller digimon who he said was the rookie, Goblimon and the other was the champion, Ogremon.

"So what are the trolls doing from under the bridge?" Hakuei didn't take his eyes off of the digimon.

"Hey, I don't think we'll find it..." Goblimon said turning over a rock. The two boys and their digimon remained silent to hear what they were saying.

"Chill, we need that Clovermon and we're going to find her, even if we have to cage her and bring back with us. We need that luck that she carries around." Ogremon growled and yelled at the rookie to continue his search. The four behind the boulder exchanged glances then fell back behind the large rock.

"We need to beat those two into oblivion." Hakuei said with a harsh tone. He really wanted to protect the little brown digimon but he didn't show it in that way. He made sure that he appeared angry because the two intruding digimon wouldn't let him sleep as early as he thought.

Floemon tried to ease his partner a bit and made sure that he didn't give their location away. "Maybe just over the moon." Floemon sweatdropped.

"Well, we have to do that without waking up the others. I don't want them to wake up just because there were two digimon lurking around, besides, we can handle them ourselves." Kouhei said but Charcomon looked a bit sceptical at that comment.

"So how are we going to handle it without waking them up?"

"Well, those two digimon can't see through the dark right?" The three of them nodded. "So we're just going to lead them away as if it was Clovermon sneaking around them." Hakuei was starting to see where he was going with this.

"So when we get far enough, that's when we make our move." Kouhei nodded at the other boy and they then started to put the plan into action. Charcomon was first up and he snuck away from the boulder while everyone went in a different direction. When Charcomon was far enough from the others, he cracked a stick then hurried off in a rushed manner. The two digimon turned towards the noise and started to trudge towards the spot but before they could make it there, Floemon did the same and led them away. The four of them kept their little trick up until they decided that they were far enough from the others that they didn't hear the battle noises. The two boys then took out their devices and pointed them towards their digimon. From the devices, a red and blue glow could be seen and the Ogremon and Goblimon turned towards them confused. They had never heard anything about Clovermon giving off lights but when they got a closer look, they saw the face of the two boys.

"Hey Goblimon, I think we've been bamboozled." Ogremon growled again.

"Yah, yah... so what are we going to do about it?" Goblimon asked impatiently.

"What we always do!" Ogremon started charging with Goblimon at his heals.

Charcomon digivolve to…

Flammamon

Floemon digivolve to…

Gyoumon

The two champions flew over the other two digimon and startled them a bit when they appeared. They started to swirl around them but the reason remained unknown to the two digimon. "Why are they just going around in circles?" Goblimon wondered as he watched them.

"No idea..." Ogremon said as he started to sway a bit then landed on Goblimon with a thud.

"Get... off of me!" Goblimon struggled under the larger digimon on top.

"Alright, you guys can get them now." Hakuei called out to the digimon. They exchanged glances before going after them like Hakuei had said. Flammamon was the first to get them off the ground.

Raging Inferno

Ogremon snapped back up from his wave of dizziness and jumped into the air with Goblimon who tried to avoid the blow, although, they didn't avoid it all together since Gyoumon flew in front of their faces and blew them away, literally.

Frozen Wind

Gyoumon blew his icy breath towards them and they screamed with terror as they were flying through the air. "Have a safe trip back to your camp." Flammamon said and de-digivolved to Charcomon. "And don't bother to come back!" He spat as he and Floemon came flying back down towards their partners.

"Alright, now let's just see if your loud shouting woke the others up." Kouhei said with a slight yawn.

"Oh, sorry." Charcomon put a paw of his mouth, Kouhei just responded to that with a small smile. "And you did awesome as well Floemon." Kouhei turned back towards the little dragon digimon who just blushed. Kouhei also took a small glance at Hakuei who didn't even look back at him. He couldn't blame the guy but he just wished that he wasn't so secretive about everything he did.

"So are they awake?" Kouhei asked Charcomon who flew around their campsite and found that everything was as they had left it.

"Well, I'm heading off to sleep now, no thanks to those trolls." Hakuei mumbled the last part. Kouhei and Charcomon couldn't help but smile at the boy. They knew that he was secretly just being overprotective of Clovermon but he was just too stubborn to admit it.

"Well, goodnight then." Charcomon said as he flew over to the large boulder.

"Night." Floemon said before resting his head. Then Hakuei went to sleep without saying a word but Kouhei didn't mind and went to join Charcomon on the rock.

From behind the campsite in the tall grass, BlackGatomon watched them with her large, piercing eyes and scowled. "Those incompetent tribe digimon, what's the point in starting a war if they can't do anything right." She hissed and looked at the Bakemon behind her. She realized that the Gazimon had all disappeared and probably guessed that they were all on their way towards the castle then didn't go back since they'd probably get lost anyways.

"Who needs them..." She said to herself and kept her watch on the kids. "No matter what they do, I'm going to make sure that they don't spoil master's plans." She purred, curling up into a ball and made sure that the Bakemon kept their guard up as well.

l-l-l-l-l

Back at the dark castle, the master of BlackGatomon just remained sitting at his thrown as he watched the Gazimon, that were sent back by his furry assistant, run around trying to get the things that he demanded to get done, get done. Though that was after they had reported all of the things that the kids had been up to since they first arrived in the digital world.

"These kids are getting more and more interesting, even though they are mere humans." He said with a smile creeping on his face. "I want to be kept updated on their whereabouts and what they're doing. Do you Dracmon have any idea how to get in contact with BlackGatomon any faster than just sending a messenger?" The little Dracmon had no idea and just shrugged at each other but there was one individual that just walked up towards the tall master and handed him something.

"What is this?" He looked at the picture that the little digimon handed to him.

"It is the device that the humans carry around, we might be able to recreate something similar and maybe something better." The digimon squeaked as if scared to say something wrong.

"We don't want anything similar now do we?" The larger digimon hinted that he wanted something a bit more than what was already created.

"We'll get right on it sir." The other Dracmon started to gather up some spare parts and started to tinker with the items. The dark master just smiled at them, glad that he had recruited them in the first place.

"Now, it'll only be a matter of time."

Alright, I'm trying to push this as far as I can

Hope this is making sense to you guys

Please tell me what you think…
