Episode 21: Journey to the Unknown
The road to the Digimon Sovereigns is long one. And it can have many danger's along the way. Will Lucas and Agumon be able to make the long journey, or will they crack under the pressure? Meanwhile, what's up with the Grand Master? Something's on his mind, but what?
THE GRAND MASTER'S HOUSE, THE DIGITAL FOREST, DIGITAL WORLD
After spending the entire night at the Grand Master's house, Lucas, and Koromon, now turned back into Agumon again over night, were getting ready to embark on the journey to the Digimon sovereigns. Lucas was sitting on a chair in the guest room, and Agumon was sitting on the guest bed.
Lucas: I can't believe we are about to do this.
Agumon: I know. Who would have thought that we would end up being the one's to go see the Digimon sovereigns.
Thinking back, Lucas never imagined things like this would happen to him in his life. But ever since he met Agumon, everything changed for him.
Lucas: It's kinda hard to believe now is it. I never imagine that any of this could happen to me.
Agumon: Well look on the bright side. Your not doing this alone, are ya?
Knowing that was all to true, Lucas smiled back at Agumon. And Agumon smiled back at Lucas. Lucas and Agumon then got out of the guest room and into the living room. Where the Grand Master was waiting for them.
Grand Master: About time you both finally woke up. And look who manage to digivolved over night it seems.
Lucas and Agumon stepped out of the guest room and into the Grand Master's living room.
Agumon: I guess all I needed was a good night sleep and i'm good to go.
Lucas: A good night of sleep always helps. My Dad always told me that.
The two of them just started laughing, while the Grand Master just rolled his eye's at them as he grabbed a backpack filled with supplies off his desk.
Grand Master: OK. I got everything you two will need right here in this backpack. You should be able to make the journey in a few days or so. Depending if you run into trouble along the way. Which uh... is quite likely.
Lucas took the backpack from the Grand Master and put it on his back.
Lucas: Well, if that's everything...
Agumon: Then let's get this journey started.
The Grand Master opened the screen door to the outside of the Digital World and Lucas and Agumon stepped out into the open air.
Agumon: We're really gonna go see the sovereigns.
Lucas: Are you getting nervous already, Agumon?
Agumon just looked back at Lucas for saying that.
Agumon: No. Just wondering what will happen along the way is all.
Lucas started laughing at him, but the Grand Master just rolled his eye's at the two of them again.
Grand Master: (I can only hope they make it alright.)
The two turned around and waved goodbye to the Grand Master as they started walking off.
Lucas: See ya around Grand Master. Thanks for all your help.
Agumon: Will send you a post card when we get to the sovereigns.
Grand Master: Good luck you two. And goodbye for now. We will meet again.
As they started to fade away in the distance, the Grand Master was now relieved about this. He remembered something important now.
Grand Master: Alright good, their gone! Now to check on everyone else!
He shut the door and ran straight onto his computer to find the other digivice signals in the Digital World. The screen was now displaying four other digivice signals in the Digital World.
Grand Master: This is not good, their separated. Well then, which signals are the closes I can get to? Come on, come on, you stupid thing.
He pressed a few buttons, and then the yellow and purple dots on the screen were showing the closes to the Grand Master's location.
Grand Master: That's Shade and the boy called David. There in the Digital Mountains. I must get to them at once.
The Grand Master grabbed his digivice and started to bolt out his side door and was running straight to the mountains.
Grand Master: I wanted to tell Lucas, but this journey is far to important for him to stray away from now. If I can find the other's in time, I can send them to help him out on the journey. But I got to hurry!
He just kept on sprinting towards the Digital Mountains, and trying to catch David and Shade in time before something happens to them. Of course, due to his old age, it could take awhile.
Grand Master: Ouch! My hip! Curse me and my old age!
THE DIGITAL MEADOW, DIGITAL WORLD
Kim, Robert, Emily, and their Digimon woke up to see the sun was already above the horizon as they began to slowly get back on their feet. Throughout the whole night, they slept on the Digital Meadow grass.
Kim: Wow, did I sleep good.
Floramon: Sometimes the simple feel of the grass can make things feel so good at night.
Kim: No kidding. It did felt good.
Then Robert and Veemon started to get up off the ground.
Robert: I'm just glad that we manage to get through a night in the Digital World without something going wrong.
Veemon: Exactly. You never know what would happen in the night time.
That made Emily a little bit curious now.
Emily: Do you mean that terrible things can happen at night in the Digital World?
Veemon: Only if your not careful enough.
Floramon: That's why the three of you have the two of us to protect you. Just in case.
Everyone started to laugh at that, because it was all to true. However, Emily was starting to feel a little upset by this. She really wanted to have her own Digimon partner. Kim did notice that Emily had a upset look on her face.
Kim: Hey Emily, are you alright?
That snapped Emily out of that thought and she looked back at Kim and the other's and gave them a smile.
Emily: No, it's alright. I'm fine as usual. Let's get going already.
She then began to skip on ahead of them again like usual.
Veemon: Doesn't she ever take a break?
Kim: If only.
Robert: Well we better not lose her.
Then the other's started to walk down the path Emily was on.
Kim: Sounds like someone is starting to grow a little.
Robert: Well, I did learn from my big brother of course.
Now they all started laughing, which still made Emily a little more upset inside.
Emily: (I hope I have a Digimon partner soon.)
THE DIGITAL FOREST TRAIL, DIGITAL WORLD
Lucas and Agumon were just walking along the trail that the Grand Master set them both on. Lucas was going through some of the stuff in the bag he gave them, while Agumon was thinking about something.
Agumon: I wonder what the Digimon sovereigns look like?
Lucas turned away from the bag and looked at his Digimon partner.
Lucas: Your still wondering about that? I told you before, will know once we get there.
Now Agumon was wondering what "where" was.
Agumon: That reminds me. Where are we going exactly?
Lucas: I don't know. The Grand Master just said to go this way and will eventually get there.
However, that only seemed to make Agumon freaked out a little.
Agumon: You mean to tell me that you don't know where were going!?
Lucas: Will you just relax. He put us on this path, and he told us that will know when we get there.
Yet as Lucas was walking on the path again, Agumon was still a bit worried. Then he realized that every time he gets worried, something bad is gonna happen. But yet, it always seems to work out for Agumon and Lucas.
Agumon: Well... I guess your right.
Then Agumon began to walk next to Lucas again. Then they notice something ahead. It was somewhat of a weird looking frog with a horn wrapped around it's neck sleeping on a rock.
Lucas: Hey check it out. What is that thing?
Agumon: I heard of that Digimon. That's a Gekomon.
Lucas pulled out his digivice in curiosity about Gekomon.
Lucas: Your right. That's a Gekomon. A champion level Digimon? What? Although for a champion level, he's not that very strong. Even you could take him in your rookie level.
Agumon: Gekomon aren't the strongest Digimon around, but they sure are good with music. Or at least what they call music.
Lucas laughed a little as they started walking towards the sleeping Gekomon.
Lucas: Excuse me, Gekomon. Can I ask you something real quick?
Gekomon started to open up his eye's and looked at the two of them.
Gekomon: Oh great, another human and his Digimon. Haven't seen one of those since I was an in-training level Digimon. What do you want, kid?
Lucas: We just wanna know where this path take us?
Agumon: We're trying to get the Digimon sovereigns.
That made Gekomon a little more fascinated as he points down the path ahead.
Gekomon: Just simply go that way and you two will hit the Digital Desert area. But... I wouldn't recommend going out there.
For some reason, that only made Lucas and Agumon curious.
Agumon: Why not?
Lucas: What makes you so concern about the desert area?
Now Gekomon was having a scared look on his face.
Gekomon: Well, let's just say that there's something dangerous out there.
Lucas: Dangerous?
Agumon: What could be so dangerous out there?
Gekomon gulped a little and started to explain.
Gekomon: The evil snake Digimon known as Orochimon is out there. He'll tear apart anyone who comes out on his turf.
Now Lucas and Agumon understand why Gekomon was so afraid.
Lucas: So this Orochimon fellow is just gonna destroy anyone who just comes out on the desert?
Agumon: Isn't that a little harsh for just walking into the desert?
But then, Gekomon just jumped off his rock.
Gekomon: Don't really know, don't really care. I just stay far away from that desert. If you two wanna go out there, that's your problem. See ya.
Then he just left to go find another place to sleep. Lucas on the other hand, wasn't really worried about this Orochimon fellow.
Lucas: Oh come on, we can handle a giant Slime when you went MetalGreymon. How bad can this "Orochimon" be?
Agumon: I don't know. But that's not going to stop us, is it?
Lucas just looked at Agumon with confidence in his eye's.
Lucas: No way pal of mine. Let's go get this sucker.
Agumon: Then off we go!
Then the two of them started sprinting toward the desert area while Gekomon was just watching them run from a distance.
Gekomon: To bad they didn't plan a funeral, because their goners.
THE DIGITAL MOUNTAIN TRAIL, MOUNTAIN 2, DIGITAL WORLD
Shade, David, Mike and James were still on the mountain trail and heading towards the last mountain on the path. However, Mike and James were running out of steam once again, and Shade and Monodramon couldn't believe it as usual.
Monodramon: There they go again.
Shade: (Sighs)... Honestly.
James: How much... longer?
Mike: Can't we... take a break now?
Annoyed at the two of them, Shade and David turned around and faced them both.
David: First you two have energy, then it's all gone just like that.
Shade: The mountains in the Digital World are much bigger then the one's in the real world. So what did you two expect, and easy hike?
Yet, Mike and James just rolled over and fell to the ground.
Monodramon: They just can't seem to win.
Elecmon: It's like everything bad is happening to them then us.
That made the four of them laugh.
Mike: Tired or not, still not regretting this trip.
James: Same here, buddy.
As all four of them were just laughing at Mike and James, Falcomon was watching their every move from a distance. He watched from a top of them, then he started to fly back to the portal where Dexmon and the other Digimon/humans are.
Dexmon: Anything to report?
Falcomon: The humans and their Digimon are along the mountain trail. But I don't know where the other humans are.
That made Dexmon's eye's glow at Falcomon.
Dexmon: Then keep searching the Digital World for them, and don't stop until you found every single one of them. I must know... where they are!
Falcomon: Yes, Dexmon. Understood.
Then Falcomon started to fly off again in the air as the portal started to close up.
UNKNOWN DIMENSION
After the portal closed up, Dexmon turned and faced the other three Digimon under his full control. The one called Lopmon was floating toward him.
Lopmon: Do you think Falcomon will find them, Dexmon?
Dexmon laughed a little bit at that fact.
Dexmon: (Laughs)... Believe me my child, he will. He'll find them all, and then we crush them into powder!
The under Dexmon's control, Lopmon just gave Dexmon a smile on her face.
Lopmon: You always come up with a greatest plans, Dexmon.
Dexmon: Thank you. I always do.
Then the other three Digimon started floating towards him.
Gomamon: Once we beat them Dexmon, what happens next after you take over both worlds?
Terriermon: What do we do then?
Dexmon eye's closed as he ponders about that and then gets his answer.
Dexmon: It's simple you three. When I take over both worlds, I will rule, and as for all of you, i'll make sure you get a reward.
That made the three of them very curious about that.
Lopmon: What reward will we get, Dexmon?
Dexmon: I'll make sure that all of you children will have more playmates in your group.
That seem to make the three of them happy. But Dexmon was sure they would. He had the method of doing so after all.
Terriermon: Your the best, Dexmon.
Gomamon: You sure are.
Dexmon started to laugh at all of this. He just found this so amusing.
Dexmon: (Laughs)... (It's so easy to indoctrinate a child's mind into believe anything these days. Even the one's under my control. I and do keep my word. After all, they will always be under my control. These little one's, and soon the new one's. And when that happens, no more DigiDestined. HA!)
OLD TOWN TOMBALL, TEXAS, UNITED STATES
Kyle, and Gabumon in his disguise, were watching the news from a dealer store about the events on the city again and how a strange vortex appeared a couple days ago. Of course, he knew what all of that was, because he witnessed it in person.
Gabumon: They just won't stop talking about now will they.
Kyle: Like I said before, media always go on about the good stuff they hear.
Gabumon: Well it's getting a little boring to me.
Kyle: I know how you feel. But that's just how they work.
But what they didn't know is that NeoDevimon was watching them from the top roof of a nearby store building.
NeoDevimon: Soon. Very soon. They both will be destroyed. I just gotta bide me time for just a little bit longer. And then... bye bye.
Then NeoDevimon started flying off to who knows where.
THE DIGITAL DESERT, DIGITAL WORLD
Lucas and Agumon manage to get out of the forest area and into the desert area. It was as hot as an ordinary desert. Even though it was a Digital Desert. But the two of them manage to keep on going despite the heat wave.
Lucas: Gekomon forgot to mention to us how hot it is out here?
Agumon: It's a desert, what do you expect.
But then Lucas was starting to move his head all over the place.
Agumon: Now what are you doing?
Lucas: I'm keeping an eye out for this Orochimon character. You never know. He can pop up anywhere in a place like this.
Now Agumon understood what Lucas was doing. He too kept on eye out for this desert snake Digimon.
Agumon: Well if we run into him, i'll make sure he gets a load of my skills.
Lucas: That's exactly what I was thinking you should do, pal.
Once they got through a few more miles, there was something going through Agumon's mind.
Agumon: Are we there yet?
Lucas: No.
Agumon: Are we there now?
Lucas: No.
Agumon: How about now?
Lucas: Ask me that one more time... I will bury you right here in this desert.
Agumon: Oh come on. You wouldn't really do that.
Lucas: I'm tempted.
And after walking a couple more miles, the earth below them started to shake.
Lucas: What's that?
Agumon: I don't know. But I have a feeling I know what might be causing it.
Then, all of a sudden, a giant creature appeared out of the desert sand below. He was a snake creature with one black snake head in the middle, and six white snake heads on the top left and right, and bottom left and right. He was looking down at Lucas and Agumon. This creature had a snake style voice.
?: What do you two think your doing out here? This is my turf. And I don't like it when people cross my turf.
Lucas pulled out his digivice to get the info on this creature.
Lucas: That's him, Orochimon. He's an ultimate level Digimon with seven snake heads.
Agumon: Well, I guess seven heads are better then one I guess.
But Orochimon was annoyed at the fact they were not paying attention to him.
Orochimon: Are you two even listening to me!?
Lucas and Agumon looked back at the giant desert snake.
Lucas: Yeah we hear ya. And what makes you think your gonna stop us from crossing this desert?
Agumon: Yeah! You have no right to stop us.
But Orochimon just gave the two of them a wicked grin on his face.
Orochimon: Look, i'm the head Digimon around here. I am the biggest, toughest Digimon that survived for years on this sand. No one is gonna pass as long as i'm still around. Understand?
Thinking there was no other way around this guy, Lucas and Agumon had no other choice but to fight him.
Lucas: Alright then. If you don't wanna be reasoned with, then will just push you out of our way. Right, Agumon?
Agumon: Yeah that's right. Let me take this bully. I ain't scared of him.
Orochimon just hissed at Agumon for trying to be brave in front of him.
Orochimon: Do you really think you can take me little one. Your way out of your league here.
Agumon: That's what you think.
Orochimon was just confused as Lucas pointed the digivice at Agumon.
Lucas: Let's show this guy what your made of, pal.
Agumon: Exactly.
Then Lucas's digivice started to glow and Agumon began to glow as well.
AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO... GREYMON
Greymon just stood in front of Orochimon and roared at him.
Greymon: (Roars)...
Lucas: Oh yeah! Now it's a party!
But Orochimon was still not impressed by this.
Orochimon: If that's how it's gonna be, then fine!
The giant snake just charged right at Greymon with all his might. Greymon manage to stop the attack and then fired his attack at close range.
Greymon: Nova Blast!
However, the attack didn't faze Orochimon at all. He just started laughing at Greymon.
Orochimon: (Laughs)... That was nothing to me, you fool!
Then Orochimon threw Greymon off him with his other heads and Greymon landed on the sand.
Greymon: GGAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Lucas: Greymon! Get up!
Greymon got right back up and fired another fireball at Orochimon.
Greymon: Nova Blast!
But Orochimon used one of his other white snake heads to block the attack.
Orochimon: Again, weak. Try this on for size!
Orochimon started to form a giant fire in his center head.
Greymon: That's not good.
Lucas: Look out!
Orochimon: Inferno Blast!
He fired a giant stream of fire at Greymon. Greymon manage to avoid it just in time and fell to the ground.
Greymon: Phew. That was a close one alright.
Lucas: Hang in there, Greymon!
But as Greymon got right back up, Orochimon grabbed him with one of his white snake heads and started to wrap him.
Greymon: (Gasps)...
Orochimon: Gotcha now!
Greymon tried to break free, but the Orochimon's grip was to strong.
Greymon: Hey! Let me go!
Orochimon: Not just yet. I got a present for ya.
Orochimon pulled Greymon in closer towards him as he started to prepare another fire in his mouth.
Greymon: Oh no! I don't want your present.
Lucas: Hurry, get out there now!
Greymon tried to squirm out, but it was not working at all.
Greymon: I'm trying!
But it was way to late. Orochimon fired his fire stream at the mighty Greymon.
Orochimon: Inferno Blast!
The fire stream engulfed Greymon as he just was in full on pain from the attack.
Greymon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Lucas was in horror of the sight he was watching. It was the same as when Greymon was being attacked by the Digital Slime yesterday in the ravine.
Lucas: No, Greymon!
When the fire blast was over, Greymon was unwrapped from Orochimon's grip and he fell to the sand bellow him. Lucas was still in shock, but he wouldn't give up on Greymon just yet.
Lucas: Hang in there, Greymon. We're not finished yet! Time to show this guy what your really made of!
Then the light in Lucas's heart was starting to glow once again. Orochimon was laughing at first, but then he notice the light coming from Lucas.
Orochimon: What? Now what's happening? Don't you know when to give up?
Lucas looked at Orochimon and gave him a confident look on his face.
Lucas: The words "give up" are not really in my dictionary. This battle just begun, Orochimon!
Orochimon was just confused, but Lucas looked back at the fallen Greymon.
Lucas: Hang on, Greymon! Time for you to digivolve!
Lucas's digivice was starting to glow brighter then before, then Greymon got back up and began to glow again.
GREYMON... DIGIVOLVE TO... METALGREYMON
MetalGreymon stood up after his digivolving and roared at Orochimon.
MetalGreymon: (Roars)...
Orochimon: What!? What just happen!? How did you get so big all of a sudden?
MetalGreymon just gave a grin back at the confused Orochimon.
MetalGreymon: It's called vitamins, pal. Not to mention... I work out.
Orochimon: Oh so now you wanna be a smart alack now do ya!? Your gonna pay!
Orochimon just charged at MetalGreymon. MetalGreymon manage to hold him back, but they both seem to be equal in terms of power. However, Lucas wasn't all thrilled about using the ultimate form so quickly.
Lucas: I didn't want to use the ultimate level so soon on our journey. But this guy gave us no other choice. Tear him apart, MetalGreymon!
Hearing Lucas's words, MetalGreymon threw Orochimon off him and now he was charging at him with his metal claw.
Orochimon: What!?
MetalGreymon: My turn now! Mega Claw!
MetalGreymon slashed his claw at Orochimon, sending back each time.
Orochimon: AAAAAAAAHHH!
However, Orochimon was starting to get even more frustrated at both of them.
Orochimon: OK then, you asked for it! Inferno Blast!
Orochimon fired his fire stream at MetalGreymon, but MetalGreymon used his metal claw to block the incoming attack.
MetalGreymon: You really shouldn't play with fire.
That only made Orochimon shocked to hear him say that to him.
Orochimon: No way! That's my best move!
Lucas only gave a grin at Orochimon.
Lucas: Well looks like it's not so "best" to MetalGreymon. Show him what that means, buddy!
MetalGreymon: You got it!
With another charge at Orochimon, MetalGreymon threw the giant desert snake into the sky.
Orochimon: WHAT!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Then MetalGreymon opened his two closed plates on his metal chest plate and two misslies were ready for launch.
MetalGreymon: Bye bye! Giga Blaster!
He fired both missiles at Orochimon, and he just blew up into data only to be absorbed by MetalGreymon.
Lucas: Alright!
MetalGreymon: (Roars)...
After MetalGreymon gave out a giant roar, he started to shrink back to his in-training level.
Koromon: Did you see that? That was amazing wasn't it?
Koromon just jumped right over into Lucas's hands as he was just smiling.
Lucas: Of course that was awesome, it's you we're talking about after all. Nobody can do the job better then you, pal of mine.
Koromon just gave Lucas a smile on his face. But, Lucas just realized something.
Lucas: Wait a minute. Don't tell me that I have to wait for you to return to Agumon again?
Koromon didn't want to admit it, but it's true.
Koromon: Sorry.
Lucas only laughed at that. He wasn't really worried about that much.
Lucas: Oh well. You deserve a little break. And you know, that overgrown snake wasn't so tough after all. He was all bark and no bite.
Koromon: So does this mean I don't have to walk any further?
Lucas laughed again as he put Koromon on the top of his head.
Lucas: For now at least. Why don't you take the high view for a little while.
Koromon was amazed to see the few from that point.
Koromon: Wow, thanks Lucas. Your the best.
Lucas: Na, your the best Koromon.
Lucas and Koromon: (Laughs)...
The two of them just kept on walking into the desert once again while laughing at there easy victory over Orochimon. But high in the sky, Falcomon was watching every single moment that happened as he now started to fly away.
THE DIGITAL FOREST, DIGITAL WORLD
Gekomon noticed that Orochimon blown up into data as he was gazing at the sky. He couldn't believe that Orochimon was actually defeated after all this time.
Gekomon: Wow. Those two actually beat him.
Yet, Gekomon was still not impressed in the end. He just continued to go right back to sleep on a rock.
Gekomon: Yeah well, that was only the beginning of what's really out there. Those two are gonna need a miracle now.
Then he just fell right back into his little sleep time again.
UNKNOWN DIMENSION
Dexmon was getting the information out of Falcomon from spying on all of the humans in the Digital World. Dexmon was still not to concern about it though.
Dexmon: I see. So only one of them can digivolve into the ultimate level.
Terriermon was floating right on Dexmon's left side.
Terriermon: So what do we do now, Dexmon?
Dexmon turned to face Terriermon in the bright white eye's.
Dexmon: It's simply my child, we wait a little bit longer, and then we strike them with everything.
That made all four of them very curious in a way.
Gomamon: What do you mean by that?
Falcomon: Are you saying that we can fight them? How exactly, Dexmon?
Dexmon only laughed at all of them for asking him.
Dexmon: Patience all of you. You will all find out very soon.
Dexmon then started laughing a little, but Lopmon seem to have her eye's on Lucas and Agumon through one of the gazing portals.
Lopmon: If we do take them on, I wanna take that boy on myself.
That made the other three a little curious, but Dexmon was able to read why Lopmon wanted Lucas and Agumon alone.
Dexmon: I see. In that case, when the time is right, i'll leave those two to for you, Lopmon.
Lopmon only turned and gave Dexmon a smile on her face.
Dexmon: It's the least I can do. (Besides, all of those humans are going to meet their doom in the end!)
Then he started his evil laugh once again. However, while he was laughing, he got another evil idea.
Dexmon: In fact, there is something I want one of you to do. Boy won't he be surprised.
THE DIGITAL DESERT, DIGITAL WORLD
Lucas and Koromon kept on walking through the desert as the digital sun was now starting to set down on the two of them. But as they continued walking through the desert, they notice something ahead in the distance.
Koromon: Hey Lucas, check it out.
Lucas: I can see it, Koromon.
In the far distance, there seem to be trees up ahead about another few miles.
Lucas: Alright! I think we finally reached the other side of the desert!
Koromon: Finally!
Then Lucas started sprinting on ahead, but that knocked Koromon off the top of his head.
Koromon: Ouch. Lucas! Wait for me!
Koromon starting jumping off after Lucas as he was still sprinting towards the forest. Then Lucas notice that Koromon was not on his head anymore.
Lucas: Oops. (Laughs)... sorry, Koromon.
Koromon manage to catch up and was now out of air because of that.
Koromon: You run really fast when you get excited. You know that.
Lucas: That's just how I am is all.
Lucas then started laughing. But Koromon was not. He was to out of breath to laugh.
Lucas: Alright, let's go.
Lucas picked up Koromon and put him on his head again as he started walking off again.
Koromon: Next time, warn me if your gonna do that again.
Lucas: I will. If I remember.
Koromon: Hey.
Lucas: I'm just kidding.
HEADING TOWARDS THE DIGITAL MOUNTAINS, THE DIGITAL FOREST, DIGITAL WORLD
The Grand Master was still trying to get to the Digital Mountain Trail so that he can help Shade and his group. But as he was sprinting along the way, a digital portal opened in front of him. And then Terriermon popped right out. The Grand Master only looked in shock.
Grand Master: What the? It can't be?
Terriermon floated down and landed right near the Grand Master.
Grand Master: Terriermon? Is that really you? Your alive?
But as he was inching a little closer, he was shock to see Terriermon's eye's all bright white, and he notice the two wires behind him.
Grand Master: What the? Terriermon?
Terriermon started floating back in the air again.
Terriermon: I'm not the Terriermon you knew, Johnny. In fact, it's me, your old friend from the human world.
The Grand Master couldn't believe what he was hearing. He couldn't believe that his old teammate was now his own Digimon partner.
Grand Master: No! That's impossible! This has to be a lie!
Terriermon: Nothing is impossible when it comes to Dexmon.
He was now in shock to hear that Dexmon was behind what happened to his old friend.
Grand Master: I should have known he be behind this monstrosity. No wonder you sound like you haven't aged. Yet, at the same time, your voice seemed to have mixed with Terriermon's. And if this is true, then that must also mean that Dexmon was behind the Digital Barrier as well.
However, Terriermon didn't say a word about any of that.
Terriermon: Oh Johnny, you always think of everything. Even though it's already to late to do anything about it.
The Grand Master just clenched his digivice tightly in his hand.
Grand Master: Listen to me, you have to fight this.
Terriermon: But I don't want to fight it. In fact, i'm actually starting to like this.
He was shock to hear that. His old friend would never say something like that.
Grand Master: Dexmon just controlling to say such things like that. Listen to yourself! How could you even think about saying such a thing?
Terriermon: I guess I just finally decided to embrace it instead of fighting it.
But the Grand Master still could not believe any of this.
Grand Master: It's not like you to give in to something like this. Oliver, you have to listen to me!
But hearing that name only made Terriermon eye's glow brighter.
Terriermon: Don't call me that anymore! I'm Terriermon, now and forever.
The Grand Master was in shock to hear that. He had lost his old friend to Dexmon. And at the same time, a strong gust of wind was blown at the Grand Masters. He used his left arm to cover himself from the strong wind.
Grand Master: No! it can't be!?
Then the wind started to go down.
Terriermon: But it is. Thanks to Dexmon, we all can be free from everything. No more worries, and no more suffering. That's all we ever been through in this place of a Digital World. You of all people should understand, Johnny.
However, the Grand Master wouldn't except any of this.
Grand Master: Your wrong. Your a human being. Not a Digimon.
However, Terriermon only smiled at the Grand Master for saying that.
Terriermon: Thanks to Dexmon's digital experimental data he planted in me... I am now.
Now the Grand Master was really in shock.
Grand Master: This... can't be.
Yet, he was still thinking about something else.
Grand Master: Is Impmon still alive?
Terriermon: You mean that fool. He's in Dexmon's grip as we speak.
The Grand Master couldn't believe that Impmon was still alive all this time.
Grand Master: So he is alive. I always knew he was.
Terriermon: Whoops, I spoke to much already. I'm done with this conversation.
Terriermon started to float off into the sky while the Grand Master was trying to catch him.
Grand Master: No! Don't leave! What about Micheal, Cameron, and your sister Carly! What happened to them!?
Hearing all those names, Terriermon eye's glowed even brighter and they blinded the Grand Master.
Grand Master: AAH!
Terriermon: Never call us those names! We're not the same as we once were! And i'm done speaking with you about it!
In a flash of light, Terriermon vanished into a digital portal. When the Grand Master manage to open his eye's, he saw that Terriermon was gone. And not being able to do a thing about it, he fell to his knee's.
Grand Master: No. This... this... THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!
His voice was so loud, the entire forest was starting to echo. Now the only thing he could think... is that he lost all of them.
Grand Master: Why? Why did this... have to..?
Due to his old age, he passed out from the shock of all of this. There was nothing he could about it anymore.
UNKNOWN DIMENSION
Terriermon returned back to Dexmon's sights, and now he was just waiting to hear what Dexmon had to say to him after telling the Grand Master the truth.
Terriermon: Forgive me, Dexmon. I didn't mean to tell him everything.
But then Dexmon opened his eye's and began to speak to Terriermon.
Dexmon: Relax, child. It dosen't matter whether he knows or not. As long as Impmon is out of the way, there is nothing he can do about anything.
He started laughing at himself, while the other four we're just watching with a smile on their faces.
Dexmon: (Laughs)... Soon! It will all be mine! Everything... will be mine!
TOMBALL, TEXAS, UNITED STATES
As everyone was driving along the highways at night, in the far off woods, there was a small cave. Inside that cave was NeoDevimon working on a few things.
NeoDevimon: Let's see... perfect.
He was adding the finishing touches to his new area of solitude from everyone in the human world.
NeoDevimon: This is just perfect. Now I can focus on everything without having to worry about those humans seeing me.
NeoDevimon then started floating in the air in the center of the cave.
NeoDevimon: Next thing to do... is... destroy that one human and his Gabumon. (Evil Laughs)...
Then he floated out of the cave and started flying in the night sky.
KYLE'S HOUSE, TOMBALL, TEXAS, UNITED STATES
Kyle woke up from a sudden chill that seem to be upon him. That also woke up his Digimon partner Gabumon as he looked over at the worried Kyle.
Gabumon: Is something wrong, Kyle?
Kyle looked over at his partner and just gave him a worried look.
Kyle: I won't lie to you Gabumon, but something doesn't feel right around here. I can just feel it.
Gabumon: First I had that feeling, now you as well. If we both have it, then there is something really wrong around here.
Then they both looked out the window and thought they saw a shadow pass over it. They both were in a bit of shock.
Kyle: Please tell me that you say that as well?
Gabumon: I wish I didn't. That looked a little scary.
Kyle: Oh great. If your scared, then i'm gonna get scared.
They both just gulped at that sight of what they saw. However, on the rooftop of the house, NeoDevimon was just giggling to himself over the fact that he was going to destroy the two of them.
NeoDevimon: That's right fools, be scared. That's exactly whats gonna be your downfall very soon! (Evil Laughs)...
After he finished laughing to himself, he just flew off again. Kyle and Gabumon tried to get back to sleep. But this feeling of their's wouldn't go away.
Kyle: (I really hope we're wrong about this one.)
THE DIGITAL FOREST AREA 2, DIGITAL WORLD
After making it across the desert area, Lucas and Koromon were now setting up a camp fire around a few trees in the second area of the Digital Forest.
Lucas: So your saying... the Digital Forest is actually split into two.
Koromon: That's what they all say. A great earthquake broke the forest in half, and then all of the sand eventually covered the giant hole it left, making it into the desert that we just crossed earlier.
Now Lucas was starting to understand what all of that means.
Lucas: Now why can't I get this fire to light already?
Koromon: If I was Agumon, I could just use my fireball to light it up no problem.
But then, Lucas manage to get the fire burning. He was so excited by this, he said it in caveman form.
Lucas: Yes! I make fire!
Koromon: Alright!
After getting everything ready for a night under the trees and stars, Lucas and Koromon were just gazing at the stars above them.
Koromon: By the way, Lucas. Do you miss the real world?
Lucas: A little bit. But i'm just glad that everything was alright when we left. At least I hope so.
But then Lucas started to look at the ring on his finger, and Koromon notice he was.
Koromon: Don't worry Lucas, you'll see her and everyone else again soon.
Lucas: We both will. For now, we just gotta keep our heads up and keep on going.
Koromon: Exactly.
Then they both just continued to look at the stars. Then a few minutes later, you can now hear the sound of the two of them snoring in the forest around them.
Lucas and Koromon: (Snore)...
This however, was only the beginning of the dangers soon to come.
To be continued...
