I awoke from my sleep, as the first ray of sunlight shined upon us. It was
the crack of dawn as some called it, but I was well rested. For Gatomon
and Agumon…that's another story. I got up, as I was about to wrap my cloak
around my shoulders when I saw Gatomon. She was still sleeping holding my
cloak like a blanket. So instead of taking it back, I left it with as she
cringed up. I then walked over to Agumon to see he was sleeping soundly
just like Gatomon. He wounds were healing rather nicely, but he was not
exactly at a 100% healed, so I wouldn't expect some heavy duty battling
from him for a while. I could help him recover by speeding the healing
process in him through a time technique, but I would also speed up
everything else in him as well. I didn't know too much on a digimon's
anatomy, so it'd be best not mess with it.
I walked away from him as I picked up my staff that was besides Gatomon. I looked around to see if anyone was around. Luckily for me, since it was still pretty early I didn't see any movement around. I needed to make sure that no one could see me make contact with the council. I started to look for a safe secure spot. I squinted my eyes to see a forest off in the distance, it thought to myself, "Well that would be a far enough place so that if Gatomon or Agumon did wake up, they won't find me talking to myself."
I started my walk towards there as I began to keep a mental note in my head on all the things I had to do. I lowered my head as I stared at the ground trying to remember everything, "Report to the council, try and encourage Agumon, figure out what's up with Gatomon, and figure out what my next two techniques I should use. Hmmm…two techniques…maybe lockdown, or perhaps recall, then again teleporting could be useful, teleporting…lets see what were the rules of that, again? A fifty feet range, able to see where I'm going, concentration…uh what else…"
It seemed that as I was thinking I wasn't paying much attention to where I was heading. I collided with something as I fell down on the ground and rubbed my head with my hand, "Ow! What'd I walk into?" I looked up to see it was a tree. "Huh?" I said as I looked back behind me. It turns out I was about fifty feet away from where we had made camp.
"But how'd I get here so quickly?" I said
I thought about it as I finally realized something, "Oh great, the only way I could have done this is if I teleported here. Great, just great…well I guess teleporting is my second technique, but I wish I could have put some more thought into it."
I stabbed my staff into the ground as I prepared to contact the council. Then a thought popped into my head. "Exactly what do I have to report, I haven't really done anything. Um…well there is…no that's not important…perfect, I came all the way here, wasted a technique, hit my head on this tree and I don't even have to report anything. Things are just going my way…well as long as I'm here I might as well get some food or something, but I better wash up first. I remembered that Gatomon had gotten water from a near by stream, might as well go there."
I picked up my staff and with my new ability at my disposable I began to sense where the stream might have been. After a few moments of concentration I found the place, in my mind that is. With the image set I made a teleportation and reopened my eyes. Sure enough the teleport was a success, (Note, Move 2 Teleporting, if unperfected, rare occurrences could happen, such as you could wind up somewhere completely different or it was unsuccessful, that's why teleporting is so risky to use and is not favored by many keepers as a time ability.)
I saw the stream the Gatomon must have used to get the water for last night. I walked over, removed my gloves and soaked my hands in the cool water. I cupped my hands and took a handful of water and splashed it right in my face. I wiped away the excess water that was on my face and then reached for my gloves. All of sudden someone called out,
"Hey Wizardmon!"
I instantly knew who it was, "Oh, hey Agumon" I turned around to see the yellow digimon up and awake. "What are you doing here, I figured you'd still be sleeping."
Agumon answered, "Well, when I woke up I was still pretty sleepy. I did notice that you were gone so I decided to get an early start and look for you. I figured that if you went anywhere, you would go to the stream first."
"Good guess, or should I say better good instincts." I complemented him, "Yeah, I was just washing up. So…you think about what I said to you yesterday?"
"I'm still not sure if I'm up for this, without the power of digievolution, I'm not much of a fighter let alone lead everyone into a fight." Agumon proclaimed
I could see he still doubted himself greatly, "You know that's not true Agumon, and strength comes in different forms. It doesn't matter if you're a rookie or a champion, if you do what you can and put every effort into it then you've got strength."
Agumon probably knew what I was getting at, but he still looked really down and out, "Still, Wizardmon…fighting is easy for you. Both you and Gatomon are both champions so you got this fighting a little easier than I do."
I could see this was going to take some time to convince him. And I knew if a hero does not believe he could win, then he has already been beaten and the cause he was fighting for would be in vain. I thought, "Perhaps I could show him he's not so weak as he thinks he is, by stepping aside from battling for a while. Me fighting all their battles for them isn't a real encouragement. For now though, I should first get him to talk about something else."
I said aloud, "So Agumon, mind if I ask you a question?"
He looked up, "Yeah, sure. What do you wanna know?"
"Well, you have any clue what's up with Gatomon? I mean, the first time we met she cried in my arms, afterwards she was trying to be real distant with me and now she's being real nice and polite to me. You have any clue what's going on?"
Agumon looked up to think about it, "Well, do you remember I told you we met another Wizardmon a little while back?
I nodded my head as Agumon continued, "Well, y'see that Wizardmon was Gatomon's closest friend. Unlike the rest of us, she was separated and later was in an army controlled by an evil digimon, Myotismon. I don't know if they had a more serious relationship, I do know that they were really close to one another. But in the end Wizardmon sacrificed himself to save both Gatomon and Kari from Myostimon's deadly attack."
Things started to make a little bit more sense as I started to put things together. "Interesting…" I said "But, lets get back to Gatomon, I think we've been gone long enough, what happens when she wakes up to see no ones there."
"Right." Agumon agreed when all of a sudden a big splash came from the stream. Two green digimon with what it seems to be a trumpet wrapped around his neck emerged. He called, "STOP!!! We've just gotten orders to eliminate you!"
I was about to blast them away when I remembered what I had thought about earlier. I yelled to Agumon, "Agumon! Take them out!"
He looked at me, "What!?!" as they both started to charge at us. We dodge their charge as they turned around and started to charge us again. "Agumon! Now attack them!" I turned to see him kneeling down. "He must still be a little hurt. I guess I can help him in my own unique way." I thought. Without actually killing them I held my staff like a spear, aimed and threw it. It landed straight in front of the two charging Gekomon as they tripped over my staff and landed face first on the ground. I called out to Agumon, "Now's your chance Agumon, attack!"
He looked up to see the two Gekomon on the floor. He wasn't about to pass up his chance as he yelled, "PEPPER BREATH!" launching a fireball at a Gekomon as it lay there on the ground. Agumon then launched another; "PEPPER BREATH" this time the sheer force repelled the other Gekomon as it landed back in the water.
I looked at the damage he inflicted, "Nicely done Agumon, I told you, you still had some fight in you. So lets get going…"
We both turned around and started to head back. Then we heard a screech, sort of like a war cry, "NOT SO FAST!!! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!!!" We turned around to see the Gekomon that was knocked in the stream, emerging from it and leaped in our general direction. I was about to take action when all of a sudden a streak went across us and the Gekomon fell to the ground. Agumon rushed over to see that it was completely knocked unconscious. After examining it he heard another familiar voice behind him.
"Sometimes you can be so careless Agumon…"
"Gatomon?" Agumon said, "When'd you wake up and how'd you know we were here?"
She rolled her eyes, "Well I woke up to find no one here and then I went to the stream to get some water. When I was about half way there I heard some familiar voices so I started to rush over and guess who I found."
Agumon looked at her, "Us? I'm assuming." Gatomon stared at him giving that who else look as Agumon stared at her. Beside the point I opened my mouth, "Well is everyone all rested up?"
She turned her face as she looked at me, "Oh, hi Wizardmon I kinda forgot you were there." She shied her face away from me, as if she didn't want me to see her when she was in a mad mood. "Well, are you guys hungry or should we eat later and travel now?" I turned to Agumon for the choice. He answered, "Hmmmm…well we'll need energy if we are going into a fight and since we already have some left over fruit back at there. I think we should eat first and then move out."
I was impressed; Agumon thought things through and it turned out to be a great plan to follow. We all started to follow Agumon back to be we had stayed last night. When we arrived there I found my cloak and placed it back over my shoulder as Gatomon and Agumon both grabbed two out of the three remaining fruit on the ground. As I was tying back my cape Gatomon tapped me on the shoulder as I turned around. She handed me the last fruit smiled and then sat down. I got a strange feeling that Gatomon was watching me, but every time I would look up I saw that she was staring at something else. It must have just been my imagination so I just ignored it.
As we finished up I asked Agumon, "So, Agumon where to?"
"Huh!?! Why should I have to decide where we are going to?" He asked me
Gatomon spoke up, "I seem to remember a person saying he was the leader of this group yesterday."
I backed her up, "C'mon Agumon, remember what we talked about back there, use your head to decide where we should go next."
"Hmmmm…well lets see." Agumon thought
On the other hand Gatomon stood next to me, as she whispered something to me, "This should be good." I let out a small laugh as I had something else to think about, "Now she's telling me jokes, I really hope this isn't leading to what I think it's leading to."
"I've got it!" Agumon suddenly yelled, "If those two Gekomon where near the river, most likely that where they were traveling from. I remember I saw a path behind the stream, whoever sent them, must be over there." Agumon stated out to us.
Gatomon replied, "But even though the Gekomon were over there doesn't mean the main enemy is over there. They could have just been waiting for us and set up an ambush on you two guys."
Agumon was right, but I'm pretty sure that he didn't catch the evidence that would prove it, "Gatomon? I remember what those two Gekomon said, sounded something like, just received orders. If that was the case than that mean their leader must have been close by." I stated,
Gatomon turned to me, "I suppose your right. Lets go quickly while we still are at full strength."
She rushed ahead, as I walked besides Agumon and chatted with him, "She's pretty persistent isn't she? Has she always been somewhat like this?"
"Not really and did you noticed she seem to like the idea after you agreed with me?" Agumon said
I looked to him, "Well, I think she only agreed because I gave your plan more evidence. I think that's the only reason why she agreed."
He turned to face me as well; "I don't know Wizardmon, I beginning to think that there's something going on in Gatomon's little mind between her and you."
I looked straight ahead and took a big gulp. When Gatomon shouted to us, "YOU GUYS GONNA HURRY UP OR WHAT! LETS PICK UP THE PACE!!!"
We were actually pretty scared of her, I mean seeing Gatomon mad would be scary enough for anyone. So we started to run towards her. When we finally caught up with her we managed to convince her to walk as we just looked around, keeping our guard up as we passed by the stream. We walked around for what it seemed like hours seeing nothing out of the ordinary. We didn't even see another digimon as we continued to just look around as we walked.
I noticed that Agumon was whispering something and so I asked him, "Agumon what are you saying? You talking to yourself?"
Agumon snapped out of it as he turned to me, "No, I was just hoping that the decision I made wasn't a bad one, I mean it was usually Tai who made those decisions."
"Well it looks like that you take after Tai, cause this was a good move. You got to give yourself more credit Agumon; you don't always let a person decide things for you. Sometimes you got to listen what seems the best choice to you."
Gatomon turned around to face us, "Hey Agumon?"
He turned to Gatomon as she began to speak, "Agumon, is it just me or do these woods look familiar to you in anyway. I have a feeling we've been here before?"
Agumon began to look around as he tried to clarify what Gatomon was getting at. I spoke up as well, "Wait hold on, I thought you never been here before and that's why you don't know your way around this place. How can you say these woods look familiar?"
"Hold on Wizardmon." Agumon replied, "I think Gatomon is right, these woods do look familiar. I just can't point out where I've seen these woods."
I myself gave a look around the place, trying to see what they saw. Unfortunately, I was unable to recognize anything, but then when I looked over in another direction I saw, what it appeared to be two gray figures ahead. I pointed out to them; "Hey you guys what's that over there?"
They both gazed at where I was pointing. Gatomon spoke up, "I don't know, it kinda looks like some stones or something. C'mon lets go find out what those are." We listen to what Gatomon requested and quickly followed her to investigate.
When we finally arrived to where the two gray figures resided we were even more puzzled. I was the first to get up close as I approach it with caution. Agumon from behind me called out, "Wizardmon! Do you have any clue what are those things?"
I called back to him, "It looks like statues of digimon."
"Digimon!?!" Gatomon called back to me.
"Yeah, c'mon see for yourself! It's not anything dangerous!" I called to them.
They took my advice and walked over to me. Then they saw them, the two almost life-like statues of digimon. I identified them, "That's a Floramon, and this ones a Deramon. Who would put a statue of a Floramon and a Deramon out here in a forest in the middle of nowhere? I mean nobodies here."
Agumon saw the statues and kept repeating there names, "Floramon, Deramon, Floramon, Deramon…where have I seen these two digimon together before?"
Suddenly it hit Gatomon, "I KNOW!!!"
We both jumped back, we weren't expecting such a sudden outburst. "What is it Gatomon?" I asked her. She responded, "Floramon and Deramon, they were the two digimon we met who was suppose to be guarding Puppetmon's mansion. HEY! That's were we've seen these forests, they are Puppetmon's forest."
Agumon spoke out, "But that's impossible, remember when we fought Apocalymon, the whole digital plain was remade. This can't be Puppetmon's forest!"
"Then how can you explain the statues of Deramon and Floramon!?!" Gatomon snapped back
I placed my head next to the statues as Agumon and Gatomon continued to talk. I then yelled, "Hey you two, quiet!" They both looked at me.
"Listen, I can hear voices coming from these statues." I said
They both placed their head on the either statue. Sure enough they heard it as well. Gatomon replied, "Hey yeah, Wizardmon's right! There are voices coming from these statues."
All of a sudden it felt as if we were moving as the statues started to drift away from us. "HEY! What's going on here!?!" I exclaimed.
We were being pulled somewhere as we saw that we were on a conveyer belt. We looked straight ahead as an object began to become closer. Closer and closer until finally we found out what the object was…
Gatomon exclaimed, "NO WAY!!!"
"THIS CAN'T BE, IT HAS TO BE A LIE OR SOMETHING!!!" Agumon replied
There stood a digimon, a hammer in hand as he swayed it back and forth in his other hand. His eyes stared at us, as they were full of evil and hatred.
He spoke in a childish voice, "So…anyone wanna play?"
Gatomon and Agumon said at once, "PUPPETMON!?!"
I walked away from him as I picked up my staff that was besides Gatomon. I looked around to see if anyone was around. Luckily for me, since it was still pretty early I didn't see any movement around. I needed to make sure that no one could see me make contact with the council. I started to look for a safe secure spot.

He looked at me, "What!?!" as they both started to charge at us. We dodge their charge as they turned around and started to charge us again. "Agumon! Now attack them!" I turned to see him kneeling down. "He must still be a little hurt. I guess I can help him in my own unique way." I thought.

Agumon spoke out, "But that's impossible, remember when we fought Apocalymon, the whole digital plain was remade. This can't be Puppetmon's forest!"
"Then how can you explain the statues of Deramon and Floramon!?!" Gatomon snapped back
I placed my head next to the statues as Agumon and Gatomon continued to talk. I then yelled, "Hey you two, quiet!" They both looked at me.
"Listen, I can hear voices coming from these statues." I said
They both placed their head on the either statue. Sure enough they heard it as well. Gatomon replied, "Hey yeah, Wizardmon's right! There are voices coming from these statues."
All of a sudden it felt as if we were moving as the statues started to drift away from us. "HEY! What's going on here!?!" I exclaimed.
We were being pulled somewhere as we saw that we were on a conveyer belt. We looked straight ahead as an object began to become closer. Closer and closer until finally we found out what the object was…
Gatomon exclaimed, "NO WAY!!!"
"THIS CAN'T BE, IT HAS TO BE A LIE OR SOMETHING!!!" Agumon replied
There stood a digimon, a hammer in hand as he swayed it back and forth in his other hand. His eyes stared at us, as they were full of evil and hatred.
He spoke in a childish voice, "So…anyone wanna play?"
Gatomon and Agumon said at once, "PUPPETMON!?!"
