Here's the next chapter. And Richard is about to explain about Marcus' father.
Ch. 14: The Wild Boy of the Digital World
Last time, Commander Sampson was going to tell the young members of what happened 10 years ago and it also has something to do with Marcus' father...
Richard begins to tell the story, "Ten years ago... a world that existed in a different dimension from the Human World - the Digital World - was discovered. The National Government Confidentiality Ministry gathered people who specialized in various fields, and sent them to investigate the Digital World. The group met with severe difficulties. They were attacked by Digimon, their camp was destroyed, and they were in danger of being unable to return back to the human world."
"But under one man's capable orders... the exploration party avoided disaster and they were able to safely return home. That was Professor Spencer Damon." Commander Richard Sampson looks at Marcus "Your father."
Everyone, even Marcus, gasps with wonder. Marcus' father had save the rest of team from danger and was part of DATS. But where is he now?
Richard Sampson explains what happened after that, "Professor Damon's whereabouts in Digital World became unknown after that. Even today, we have no idea where he may be."
Cleo's eyes were fill with amazement, /Wow! So, that what happened to Marcus' dad... For 10 years, Spencer has been stuck in Digital World.../
Suddenly, Marcus runs out the main room with Agumon behind. Cleo was about to go after him, but Dalmatianmon held her back. Dalmatianmon knows where Marcus is heading, back home ask his mom if she knows anything about his dad disappearances.
It turns out that Sarah knew everything about his dad disappearances and about the Digital World which explains why she wasn't afraid of Agumon and Dalmatianmon. The main reason she didn't say anything about it 'cause she fears the Digital World might take Marcus away like it took his dad. But that didn't stop Marcus. After hearing about his dad, he's determine to find Spencer and bring him back to this world to his family. However, it seem almost impossible. Spencer has been gone in Digital World for 10 years and he could be anywhere...
Meanwhile at Cleopatra's home...
Cleo prepares for her bedtime for the night and for tomorrow adventures. While tying her long light blue hair into a bun, Cleo starts to think about what happened before, /...I can't believe what has happened so far... It seem only like yesterday, I just became a member of the DATS then this happens! I first met a Digimon who saved me, become a member to keep wild Digimon under control then suddenly a Mega level Digimon pops in... Merukimon probably is the reason for all of this mess!/
Suddenly, she just remember what Merukimon said about the humans did to him and his people in Digital World, /...Maybe he isn't the one who start all this... He seem to really hate us humans for something and Dalmatianmon knows it. Why do humans and Digimon has to fight so much? What did started this chaos in the first place?/ the she sighs, "This is so confusing!"
"What's so confusing?" Dalmatianmon suddenly asked from inside the Digivice with Impmon in it.
Cleo spoke to her Digimon, "About everything! Digimon appearing here in the Human World, a flying bird Digimon that knows you, a very strong Digimon almost kill us and planning to stop Merukimon for good!" she sits on her bed with hands on her face, "I feel like there's some connection to this to all these questions... Why?"
Dalmatianmon looked kinda troubling at first, "...You'll see when we enter the Digital World..."
Impmon pushes Dalmatianmon aside then grunts, "Just gets some rest for tomorrow adventures, Cleo. We're in a fight for our lives."
Dalmatianmon pushes Impmon back, "Hey! Watch the wing!"
Cleo softly smiles at her two Digimon, "I just hope for what I find won't be too shocking..." she lays down on her pillow "Good night you two..." pulls the covers on her then slowly falls asleep.
Then Impmon softly spoke to the winged Digimon, "I guess you haven't told her about 'him' yet, huh?"
Dalmatianmon sighs, "Impmon... I'm not 100% sure if Honey really is one of his real family... I just don't know yet."
Impmon snorts at her, "Just pray and hope she won't hate you or distrust you for not telling her before..." Impmon starts to feel sleepy then yawns, "Well... G'night." then falls asleep, leaning on Dalmatianmon.
Dalmatianmon quietly looks at Impmon then at Cleo. She knows Cleo will probably won't be her friend again. However, it won't happen until tomorrow...
In the morning, Cleo told her parents that's she going on an important trip with her 'co-workers' for a few days or so. ((A/N: Just to let you all know, Cleo just told her parents she's working at 'job'. I mean, wouldn't you said that to them at first?)) Cleo was really nervous of going into the Digital World again for some reasons. Same goes with Dalmatianmon. The winged Digimon knew this day would come and was hoping it wouldn't. All she pray and hope that nothing bad will happen to her friends.
At the DATS HQ...
"What in the world?!" Cleo exclaimed.
"Now that's huge!" said Impmon.
In the main computer room, Marcus brought a big sack fill with food that Sarah made for them for the mission.
"Mom made these lunches for all of us." Marcus explained.
"This isn't a picnic..." Thomas spoke to Marcus.
"Boss... Thomas said he doesn't want the fried eggs."
Marcus smirks at Agumon, "No choice then. We'll just have to eat it all ourselves."
Thomas suddenly looked like he made a mistake saying what he said before.
Gaomon notices the look, "Thomas is afflicted..."
"Marcus..." Cleo glared at Marcus while Dalmatianmon did the same with Agumon.
Marcus notices the glare from Cleo then chuckles nervously, "W-We were just kidding!" Agumon quickly nodded at the girls. Cleo just humphed at them.
"By the way, Dalmatianmon..." Yoshino spoke. "Are you sure want to come with us?"
"You can stay here until we've come back." said Lalamon.
Dalmatianmon shake her head no, "No, I'm going with you guys... You'll need a guide to get to Merukimon's location." /...And to see if Cleopatra recognize him.../
Suddenly, Commander Sampson and Kudamon walks in. "So you have all decided." Kudamon spoke.
The four tamers and five Digimon nodded at Kudamon.
Few minutes later...
"This is a Digimon Radar, which will be sent along with everything else in one container." Megumi explained while showing a machine container. "It's tell you the general area where Merukimon is. That way Dalmatianmon will know the way easier." then she show two walkies-talkies ((A/N: I think that's what it's call...)) "This is a long-range communicator. Use it to give us regular updates."
Then Agumon asks, "What're these?" holding three metal sticks.
Miki took one from Agumon, "They're transmission markers. The signal that comes from the this will lets us know where to open the Digital Gate for you. Don't lose them, or we won't be able to recover you."
While the humans continue to talk, Impmon whispers to Dalmatianmon, "Hey! Don't they know that you can sense a Digital Vortex by yourself?"
"Nope... They don't have all my info. yet." Dalmatianmon whispered back.
"Now then..." Commander Sampson spoke. "Begin the mission!"
"Roger!"
Marcus, Thomas, Cleo and Yoshino were now standing inside the gate while Miki, Megumi and their Pawnchessmons prepares to transport them to the Digital World. The five Digimons are in the Digivices.
"Digital Gate Open!"
"Countdown! 3... 2... 1..."
"Begin transportation!"
The four tamers turns into digital particles and disappear into the Digital World.
"Was it really a good idea Richard to let them go?" Kudamon asked his tamer with worries.
Commander Sampson answers, "I want to believe in those children... And their unlimited potential."
Meanwhile in the Digital World, a beam of light shots down from the sky...
From afar, Merukimon senses it, "They're here."
With the tamers, they have arrive in the Digital World. They were near a forest.
"Honey! Let me and Impmon out of here! It's getting kinda crowded in here..." Dalmatianmon complained.
"At least I'm not fat!" Impmon snarled.
"Why you little!" Dalmatianmon growled with furious.
Cleo sighs with irritate, "Knock it off you two! Dalmatianmon, Impmon, Realize!"
"Bring it!" Dalmatianmon came out.
Then Impmon comes out, "Let's go!"
Yoshino looks into the sky with wonder, "So this is the Digital World..."
"There are rocks and things floating in the sky..." Lalamon spoke from Yoshino's Digivice.
"Heheh, surprised, aren'tcha?" Marcus gloated.
Yoshino stares at Marcus, "Why are you so smug?"
"Because this is my second time here. I'm already an expert." Marcus smug.
"Only as a Rookie expert..." Dalmatianmon blurted it out.
"What?" Marcus growled at Dalmatianmon as she shrugged.
Suddenly, another light beam from the sky hits somewhere the the forest.
"There's the container! Let's go!" said Thomas as he ran off ahead with others behind him. Unknown to them, something or someone was watching them then follows them through the trees.
While running, Dalmatianmon starts to have a familiar feeling that someone is following. /...Someone's following us... It could be him! I better tell Cleo about this right now!/ Dalmatianmon slowly look at Cleo, "Honey...?"
"What is it, Dalmatianmon?" Cleo looked back her Digimon.
"...There's something you should know about. There's another-" Before Dalmatianmon could finish, she hear something whooshing over her head then see a big boomerang flying towards the container, destroying it. The container, along with the food, turns digital and vanish.
"What the heck just happened?!" Impmon exclaimed.
"Sarah's fried eggs..." Agumon whined.
Dalmatianmon looks around, "Everyone, we're not alone! So get prepare to fight!"
"Gaomon, Realize!"
"Lalamon, Realize!"
"Sir, yes sir!"
"Lalamon!"
The five Digimons were now on a alert to find what destroy the container while the tamers do the same.
All of the sudden, Dalmatianmon shouts, "Heads up!" the same boomerang flew in again this time towards the tamers. The fours tamers manages to dodges the boomerang before hit them. The boomerang flew back to it's owner then the owner jumps away from the group through the trees.
Cleo manages to caught a glimpse of the owner then gasps with shock, "Th-That's a...!" /A human? In the Digital World? How's that possible?/ Cleo runs after the human, "Everyone, come on!" Dalmatianmon and Impmon went after Cleo.
"Wait up!" Marcus runs after Cleo, "Let's go, Agumon!"
"Right!" Agumon followed Marcus.
The rest follows as well. They then saw the human as well. It was male a one and he look like a 10 year old child. The child still keep jumping from trees to trees then stop at certain one and kicks it.
Many small balls with spikes on them falls from the tree towards the group, but Dalmatianmon knocks them away before the spike balls could hit them with wings by spinning. Yoshino was about go after the kid, but gets hang up by the foot of big plant with teeth.
"Yoshino!" her friends cried as they tried to get her down.
"Wh-What's going on?" Cleo exclaimed.
Dalmatianmon looks down, "...He's here. That kid is finally here."
Marcus turns to Dalmatianmon, "That kid? Dalmatianmon, do you know him?"
Dalmatianmon said nothing, but Impmon spoke, "Yep, she's know him. Me and her."
Cleo look confuse, "You guys knew about this? H-How did this child get here? Who is he?"
Dalmatianmon slowly look at Cleo, "You should know... You two are very connect."
"What are you talking about?" Cleo was now very puzzled. How could she know about that child?
Out of the blue, the child swing down from the vine then knocks Marcus down to the ground with him and tries to punch Marcus, but Marcus grabbed the little fists.
"Gotcha, you little punk!" Marcus snarled as Yoshino finally got down from the plant with Thomas' help.
Cleo took a good look at the child and gasped. He had dark blue hair, tan skin and hazel eyes. To Cleo he looked very familiar to her. /This child... He almost look like...my baby brother!/
"...No way... He couldn't be..." Cleo stuttered.
"Let go of him!" A familiar shouted from where the child swing from. "Ninja Blade!" The attacks went straight to Marcus and the boy.
They both dodge away, making the boy jump away from the group. The boy landed on a branch of tree, right next to a familiar face.
"Isn't that?" Agumon pondered.
"Falcomon!" Dalmatianmon exclaimed.
Impmon mutters, "That guy again?"
Marcus asks the winged Digimon, "Dalmatianmon, is that kid with Merukimon?"
"Yes... He was raised by Merukimon." Dalmatianmon answered.
Cleo was even more confuse. "Dalmatianmon, who is he? And why does he look like my baby brother?"
Her Digimon glances at her. "...Because he is your baby brother... Keenan." Dalmatianmon quietly answered.
The group, except Impmon, gasps. That boy, that young boy is Cleo's younger brother. But how and why? Her brother has been died for ten years...
/Keenan...? That's Keenan? B-But my parents said he died! How could he be alive?/ Cleo feels so confuse. Did her parents really lied to her? Could this boy really be her brother that she thought was dead?
Suddenly, the boy, Keenan, shouts, "Sister Dalmatianmon, the humans are the enemy of Digimon! You betray us?!"
/Sister Dalmatianmon?/ Cleo thought.
Dalmatianmon sighs with annoyance, "For the last time... I didn't betray anyone! I'm just trying to figure out what really happened before, Keenan! The humans aren't really responsible for what happened before!"
/What happened before? What's going here?/ Cleo wondered.
"Liar! Humans destroy Digital World's peace! I not forgive humans!" Keenan yelled.
However, Marcus shouts, "Don't be stupid! It's Merukimon that destroyed the peace!"
"Don't talk bad of Merukimon!" Keenan yelled with furious then grabs his boomerang, "Merukimon's right! All Digimon obey him!" then throws at the group.
Everyone quickly moves out of the way before the boomerang could hit them then Keenan grab the boomerang and tries to hit the tamers. Everyone dodges while the Agumon and Gaomon tries to hit Keenan. Keenan jumps away as Falcomon flies in.
"Firecracker Smokescreen!" The bird Digimon drops exploding bamboo cylinders at the group.
Dalmatianmon attacks back, "Enough is enough! Light Spheres!" The light spheres collides into the Falcomon's attack, exploding, making smokescreen above them. "Still a little slow, I see! I thought my training made you guys a bit faster than before."
"Huh?" Cleo and her friend exclaimed.
Both Falcomon and Keenan, who holds onto Falcomon's feet as he still flying, grunted then flies away from them, knowing that Dalmatianmon is still stronger than them.
When Keenan and Falcomon were far away, Marcus suddenly grabs Dalmatianmon by her red ribbon bow, "Alright! What's going on here? Who is he? And how could he be Cleo's brother?" growling at her.
Dalmatianmon slaps Marcus' hand off of herself, "...He might be Honey's brother, he might be not... All I know is there's connection between them."
"Dalmatianmon..." Thomas spoke. "Did you knew about this all along?"
"Why didn't you say anything about it?" Yoshino angrily exclaimed.
"Dalmatianmon... why?" Cleo softly asked.
Dalmatianmon closes her eyes for the moment, "If I'd said anything before all this, would you all believe me?" They all got quiet. "Look, to be honest, I wasn't sure if he was Honey's baby brother that died 10 years ago, but for some reason, something tell that he is."
"How did he get here? And why did he said 'Humans are the enemy of Digimon' when he's a human himself?" Cleo asked.
"Because he thinks he's a Digimon. 10 years ago, he was found by me when I was in my In-Training form, Puppymon, and another Digimon named Frigimon." Dalmatianmon explained.
"Frigimon?" Cleo pondered.
"Frigimon is a Champion level Icy Digimon in the form of a 'snow bear'. Contrary to it's cold appearance, it is warm-hearted and is gentle in nature. Frigimon hates to fight against those it likes, and Digimon who make friends with a Frigimon will find their hearts warm, too. A Vaccine type and has good attacks, Subzero Ice Punch and Snowball Fight."
"Puppymon is my In-Training form. Even as an In-Training form, I still fight or protect to those I care. A data type and ability call Sight Pure Heart." ((A/N: Sight Pure Heart is great ability to see into a heart of person or Digimon to see if their good or evil))
Dalmatianmon continues... "Anyway, when me and Frigimon first found him as a baby... He was crying for his mother. Feeling sorry for him, Frigimon took him in as her own son and raise as her own child for long time, but then..." she look down with grief. "...Something took her and our friends' data and was never ever seen again..."
Everyone looked sad and puzzle at the same time. Cleo then remember what her Digimon told her before when they had that argument before.
Then Lalamon spoke, "But why does he think Humans are the one who destroyed the peace?"
"Yeah, ain't Merukimon the one who did it?" Agumon asked.
"...No..." Dalmatianmon quietly answered. "It wasn't Merukimon who started this... But after everything happened in the Human World so far... I'm not sure what started."
"Which is why you enter that world to find out what's really behind it." Impmon spoke.
"You mean... that was your mission?" Thomas asked.
"Maybe... maybe not. I'm not really sure myself..." Dalmatianmon replied.
With Cleo, she didn't hear a thing when Dalmatianmon told them that she and another Digimon found Keenan when he was baby. The same year that her baby brother died. Her mind was filled with questions. How could this happened? Why did her parent said her brother died when she at her aunt's house. Could that boy be the same Keenan?
"...Cleo? Cleo? Hey!"
Cleo snaps out from her thoughts, "Huh? Wh-what?" she at the one who called her. It was Marcus.
"I asked those that boy look familiar to you?" Marcus asked again.
Cleo thought the moment, "...I-I don't know... He looks like my baby brother, but I'm not sure if he's really is my brother... Besides, he doesn't seem recognize me at all."
"He may not remember you, but the bond is still there in his heart..." Dalmatianmon told her tamer. "It just his heart is filled with anger and hate of what happened before..." Dalmatianmon then look at everyone, "So... do you guys still trust me or not?"
Everyone was quiet and kinda nervous what to say about what Dalmatianmon said.
Then Impmon blurt out, "I don't know about you guys, but that's up to Cleo to say about that."
"Me?" said Cleo.
"Yeah, you. Do you still trust Dalmatianmon? What does your heart say about this so far?" Impmon asked.
Cleo looked confused. At first, she like she betrayed by Dalmatianmon, but deep down inside her heart... "...I still trust her."
"What? Are you sure, Cleo?" said Yoshino.
"Are sure you want to risk that trust, Cleopatra?" Thomas asked.
Cleo nods at her friends, "Yes... There's a lot thing we don't know about Dalmatianmon's quest and it seem that even she don't know about herself."
"Really?" said Agumon.
"What Honey said is true..." said Dalmatianmon. "I don't know why I enter the your world, but something tells I had to find my answers of what's going here."
"...Well, if Cleo still trust you then I still trust ya." Marcus spoke.
"Me too!" said Agumon.
"Well... I guess we can kinda trust you." Yoshino pondered a bit.
"If Cleo said she trust you then so do I!" said Lalamon.
"Same goes me." said Impmon.
"Us too." said Thomas as Gaomon nodded.
Dalmatianmon look at everyone then smile, "...I'm glad." then run into the forest.
"Dalmatianmon?" Cleo runs after the winged Digimon with the others behind her. "Where are you going?"
Dalmatianmon keeps running ahead, "To find Keenan! He needs to know the truth as soon as possible!"
Suddenly, a boomerang flew towards them. They manages to duck down before it could hit them. The boomerang then went back to it's owner, Keenan, who standing on the branch of a tree with Falcomon.
Dalmatianmon looks up at them, "Keenan! Falcomon!"
"Humans are enemy of Digimon! Why did you betray?!" Keenan yelled at Dalmatianmon.
"Have you forgotten for they had done to us?" Falcomon asked.
"No, I haven't!" Dalmatianmon shouted. "But I know these humans aren't one who did it!"
"No! Humans are all alike! They are enemy to us, Digimon!" Keenan shouted.
"You're making a mistake, Keenan!" Dalmatianmon shouted back then points at Cleo, "That human is your sister, Keenan! Your REAL sister!"
"NO! Me a Digimon! You are my sister!" Keenan yelled with furious.
"Geez! That kid really thinks he is a Digimon." said Impmon.
/...He really does think he's a Digimon... And he looks so much like my baby brother. But... he doesn't recognize me at all.../ Cleo sadly thought.
Suddenly, a misted fog creeps in through the forest. Then a low, creepy voice comes in, "...Get... out..."
Everyone looks around through the fog. "What's with this fog?" Marcus asked.
/This fog... That voice... Could it be...?/ Dalmatianmon wondered.
The voice spoke again through the fog, "Get out... of my forest!"
"Who's that?" Agumon asked.
Then Dalmatianmon hears something coming towards them, "LOOKOUT!" Out of nowhere, roots and vines comes in and grabs both Marcus and Agumon then lifts up into the air while Falcomon and Keenan flew away to hide and watch.
Gaomon and Lalamon uses their attacks to free Marcus and Agumon. The two fighters landed back on the ground.
"Dang it, what's going on?" Marcus exclaimed.
Something clear in through the fog, revealing a huge tree with many arms and has cherries in the branches. "You stupid and violent humans..." it spoke. "Leave this forest!"
"Everyone... we have to leave here." Dalmatianmon spoke.
"How come? Who is that?" Cleo asked.
"That's Cherrymon. Cherrymon is a Vegetation Digimon. He's known as the Lord of the Deep Forest. He's Ultimate level Digimon and Virus type. He is a terrifying Digimon who have gone astray in the dark deep forest to go further and deeper into the woods, so that they will never break out of that forest. The fog he generates from his body displays illusions, tempting the opponent into the forest depths, where it uses his branches like tentacles and ivy to capture the opponent for his own nutrition. His attacks are Cherry Blast and Illusion Mist. He also a close friend of my kind."
"Is he also one of Merukimon's pals?" Marcus asked the winged Digimon.
Dalmatianmon sighs, "Idiot! Like you guys, he follow his ways. In other words, he has no allies."
"What Dalmatianmon spoke is true... I am the master of this forest. I make no outside alliances." said Cherrymon. "The two young chicks who are hiding over there..." Keenan and Falcomon gasped. "...This goes for you as well... Leave this forest!"
"So, not every Digimon follows Merukimon?" said Thomas.
"Duh! Where have you been, genius?" Impmon blurted out at Thomas sneer at him.
Keenan then shouts, "Shut up! Humans enemy of Digimon! I will defeat humans!"
"Are you still blabbing about that?" Marcus shouted.
Falcomon steps in front of Keenan, "Keenan, give me power!"
"Right!" Keenan then pulls out a black and purple Digivice, just like the tamers'.
"A Digivice?" the tamers exclaimed.
"Oops! I kinda forgot about that one..." Dalmatianmon mumbled out loud.
"How could you forget that?!" Cleo cried.
"It slipped my mind..." Dalmatianmon nervously chuckled as Cleo groaned.
Keenan puts his dark purple DigiSoul in his Digivice.
"Falcomon digivolve to... Peckmon!" Falcomon is now an tall light orange ostrich with black and purple ninja clothes on him.
"That's Peckmon, the Champion form of Falcomon. Peckmon is an ostrich-like Digimon with ninja-based abilities. His main strengths in battle are his strong leg strength and unmatched speed. Although he flies well, he can run faster. A Vaccine type and has attacks call Spiral Claw and Kunai Wing."
"...I see you finally digivolve, Falcomon. Or should I say Peckmon?" Dalmatianmon spoke then looks back her friends, "Everyone get back..." they look at Dalmatianmon "...this fight is between me with Honey. Just wait until the times is right."
"What? B-But...!" Cleo stuttered.
"Trust me on this, Honey! ...I want to see how strong they got when I left."
Cleo, feeling unsure about this and doesn't want to fight Keenan, pulls out her Digivice. /I hope nothing bad happens to all us... But I have to trust Dalmatianmon on this./ her Digisoul appears over her heart then takes it with hand, "DigiSoul... Charge!"
"Dalmatianmon digivolve to... AngeWolfmon!" AngeWolfmon looks back at Cleo, "Get on, Honey!"
"O-Okay..." Cleo climbs onto AngeWolfmon's back.
"Hey! What about me?" Impmon shouted.
"You stay there!" AngeWolfmon shouted back.
"Like heck I am!" Impmon growled then jumps onto AngeWolfmon.
AngeWolfmon snorts at Impmon then looks back at Peckmon and Keenan, "Show us what you got, Peckmon!"
Peckmon jumps in the air, above AngeWolfmon, Cleo and rest of the Digimon, "Spiral Claw!" then spins around and drives one of his feet towards them.
AngeWolfmon with Cleo on her back, swiftly move out of the way before Peckmon could hit them. However, the other Digimon almost got hit and jumps back away from Peckmon.
Gaomon stares at the two Champions, "What incredible speed! They almost equal!"
Impmon snarls at AngeWolfmon, "Next time warn them when you do that!"
AngeWolfmon smirks at Impmon, "My bad!" then looks down at Peckmon, "Good speed, but not fast enough!"
Peckmon growls at her with furious. /Even in my Champion form... she's still too fast!/
Both Thomas and Yoshino whip out their Digivice, "DigiSoul... Charge!"
"Gaomon digivolve to... Gaogamon!"
"Lalamon digivolve to... Sunflowmon!"
Peckmon jumps in the air as Keenan jumps onto his back then flies into air.
AngeWolfmon notices and shouts at the boy, "Can you still fight, Keenan? Do you think you can protect the Digital World?!" flying front of them.
"Me fight! Me will protect Digital World!" Keenan shouted back then throws a boomerang at AngeWolfmon and Cleo.
AngeWolfmon flies up to dodge it as it spin down towards Marcus instead.
Marcus waits for it to come closer to him then punch it, making the boomerang vanishes into particles, "Since you don't know, I'll tell you! You just picked fight with Japan's Ultimate Fighter!" his DigiSoul appears.
"DigiSoul... Charge!"
"Agumon digivolve to... GeoGreymon!"
"Horn Impulse!" GeoGreymon charges at Peckmon and Keenan.
"Useless!" Peckmon exclaimed as he swiftly flies away and GeoGreymon slams into the boulders instead. "Kunai Wing!" Peckmon throws kunai-like sharp, bladed feathers at GeoGreymon then they explode around the giant dinosaur Digimon.
"Stop!" Cherrymon furiously shouted. "Stop this!"
Impmon looks down at Cherrymon, "What is he shouting about?"
Cleo looks down as well then notices something, "Hey! I see something under Cherrymon!"
AngeWolfmon looks down at Cherrymon and see many tiny black seed like under Cherrymon, "Why... those are Nyokimon!"
"Nyokimon is a Seed Digimon. A Baby level Digimon. Nyokimon is a variation. They may look cowardly, but they are serene."
"Baby..." Cleo pondered then realize something. "Wait... Is Cherrymon protecting them?"
AngeWolfmon nods at her tamer, "Yes! That's why he wanted us to leave! Is to protect them from harms way."
Cleo looks at her friend as they continue to fight against Peckmon and Keenan, "We have to stop them fighting, right now!"
"Leave it to me!" Impmon exclaimed then jumps off of AngeWolfmon and falls down towards the group.
"DigiSoul... Charge!"
"Impmon digivolve to... Devidramon!" Devidramon swoop down towards the fight, "Dark Gale!" then a shoot out a pairs thick beams from his eyes then hit between his friends and Peckmon.
"Huh? What the heck, Devidramon?!" Marcus yelled at devil dragon Digimon.
"Everyone! Stop fighting!" Cleo screamed. Everyone looks up at Cleo as Cherrymon gasp at this. "If we keep fighting here, we've might cause harms to those baby Digimon!" she points at the Nyokimons that are under Cherrymon.
"Oh... Cherrymon is just protecting them." said Marcus.
Keenan growls, "Dang it!" as Peckmon flies down to attack.
AngeWolfmon attacks Peckmon, "Shadow Beam!" The dark beam pushes back Peckmon. "When Honey said stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Keenan angrily grunts at AngeWolfmon. Suddenly, boulders from the sky starts to rain down towards the forest with everyone in it.
"Everything... Destroy everything!"
AngeWolfmon, Cleo and Devidramon looks up and see small humanoid rock riding a big bug while it's glows red. "Gotsumon? I should have known he's behind this rain of rocks!"
"Gotsumon is a humanoid-looking Digimon whose body is completely made of rock. He's Rookie level and a Data type. Gotsumon can blend his body into rocks to hide. Though normally mischievous with a cheerful personality, Gotsumon tends to be little selfish with a temper as dangerous as an erupting volcano. The attacks are Rock Fist and Crazy Crusher."
"The bug he's riding on is Yanmamon, a Bug Champion level and data type. Yanmamon is an Insectoid Digimon resembling a dragonfly. It carries electric power and swarms around digital world. The attack is Thunder Ray."
The boulders keeps falling from the sky, cutting and knocking the trees of the forest. Few of the boulders almost hit near Cherrymon and the baby Digimons.
"How can this be...?" Cherrymon couldn't believe what's happening.
"Spiral Blow!"
"Sunshine Beam!"
"Dark Gale!"
Three attacks destroy three boulders that were about to crash down. "What?" Cherrymon exclaimed by the acting of the tamers.
AngeWolfmon flew next to Cherrymon, "Not all humans are stupid and violent... Some are kind and good."
"And we all could use some help in our times of need." Marcus smiled at Cherrymon. "Go, GeoGreymon!"
"Mega Flame!" His attack destroy another boulder.
The Digimon's attacks keep destroying the falling boulder with their attack, but then a huge boulder comes and it was too big to be destroy by they attack together.
/Oh no! It's too big!/ Cleo thought then looks down at the scared Nyokimons. "...But I can't give up! I have to keep trying to save them! I won't abandoning anyone or distrust anyone from any danger!" suddenly her golden heart necklace glows with digital gold particles then covers around Cleo.
"Everyone, look!" Yoshino gasped at Cleo.
"DigiSoul... Full Charge!"
"AngeWolfmon digivolve to... WereAngeWolfmon!" AngeWolfmon is now humanoid white canine with black, white and many different color spots on her, wearing jeans, golden shoes, a white angel wing, a black wing, golden fur chest and a red ribbon around her neck while the rest floating around the air.
"AngeWolfmon... digivolve!" Thomas cried with astonished.
"I am WereAngeWolfmon! I'm the Ultimate form of Dalmatianmon. A Vaccine type. A were wolf, angel like Digimon. I was once an AngeWolfmon until a golden full moon took affect on me. I only protect those who are in danger from evil with my attacks Tri-Color Shine and Ribbon Slash."
Cleo, now sitting on her Digimon's shoulder, looked amaze by her Digimon new form then commands her Digimon, "Alright, WereAngeWolfmon! Destroy that rock!"
"Right! Ribbon Slash!" Her ribbons grew long then easily slices and slashes the huge boulder into tiny pieces like knives.
WereAngewolfmon glares at Gotsumon, "You always cause trouble to me and my friends..." then snarls dangerously, "Get out of here before I turn you into tiny pebble!"
Gotsumon yelps in fear then make Yanmamon fly away from the forest.
Peckmon was amaze by WereAngeWolfmon's attack, "What power..."
"No matter! Me will fight!" Keenan cried.
Cleo heard what Keenan said and shouts, "If you two continue to fight, you will drag them into it as well!" pointed down at the Nyokimpms as they hops out from under Cherrymon.
WereAngeWolfmon looks at Keenan, "You two must retreat now!" Keenan just stares at her. "...You still have lot to learn, Keenan."
Keenan grunts at her then both he and Peckmon flies away from the tamers.
"...WereAngeWolfmon... Is he really my lost baby brother?" Cleo softly asked.
Her Digimon nods at her, "Yes... I'm sure of it." then flies down towards their friends.
The Digimon went back to their Rookie forms as Cleo and Dalmatianmon landed next to them.
"Way a go, you two!" Marcus praised.
"You guys manages save us all from disaster." said Yoshino, smiling.
Cleo looked shock by the praises, but smiles, "Thanks, but we couldn't done without you guys."
"Unbelievable..." Cherrymon spoke with wonder. "We were saved by the foolish and vicious humans..."
"Like I said before... Not all humans are bad. Some like Honey, Marcus, Yoshino and Thomas are good and have a good heart." said Dalmatianmon. "Just like us Digimon."
"I see..." Cherrymon smiled.
"But still... What's going with this Keenan? We've just found out that he might be relation to Cleopatra." Thomas wondered.
"Who cares? The next time he shows his face in front of me, he's going down!" Marcus growled with determinations.
"Never mind that, what are we going to do now?!" Yoshino exclaimed. "All the equipment we brought is gone! How are we going to find Merukimon?! How are we going to get home?!"
Impmon clears his throat, "Hello? Toots? Have you forgotten about Dalmatianmon here? Before she left, Dalmatianmon went to one Digital Vortex that's opening everyday... Merukimon's place."
"Huh? Dalmatianmon, is it true?" Marcus asked.
"Yep! And by the looks of it..." Dalmatianmon looks ahead and see a big icy mountain. "It's just up ahead from here... But it's still pretty far away... the Infinite Ice Ridge."
"Whether or not you all make it there is up to you." Cherrymon spoke.
"That's where he lives? It's quite a display." said Thomas.
"Things have gotten bothersome." Gaomon spoke.
"Really?" Everyone looks at Marcus. "From what I'm hearing, we can't go back to our world until we defeat Merukimon. How can it get any simpler than that?"
"That's just like you, boss!"
"In other words... Who said this is gonna be easy?" Impmon muttered as crossed him arms.
"Let's go, everyone! I know a short cut, but it will be dangerous." Dalmatianmon walks ahead with Cleo and Impmon behind.
"We...have to walk, do we?" Yoshino complained.
"This might make our calves fat!" Lalamom also complained, whining.
"Quit whining, you lazy cows!" Impmon growled.
"Who are you calling lazy cows?!" both Yoshino and Lalamon shrieked.
With Merukimon...
"Lord Merukimon! Merukimon!" Gotsumon made it to Merukimon's place.
"What shall we do with those humans and that traitor, Dalmatianmon?" Gotsumon bowed to Merukimon.
"...Let them come..." the Mega Digimon. Merukimon then quietly chuckled, knowing something will happen later on...
Okay... The next one might appear tomorrow, but I have things to do with life. So, who knows when the next chapter will be up.
