Authors notes.

Sorry it took me so long ot get this chapter out, I had a major case of writers block. But I think I'm over it now, so here it is, the last chapter of my first story. Don't worry though, I still have some ideas for Jun and Dragamon. Hopefully I will have the first chapter of my new series done soon, or should I just continue this one? Let me know.

Chapter 4

To Become Stronger

Jun still couldn't see whoever or whatever it was who had challenged her. She was starting to feel scared, she wasn't used to fighting. She definitely wasn't used to fighting in the digital world.

"But I don't want to fight you, why won't you listen to me?" Jun said, frantic to find a way around the upcoming battle.

"We don't have much time, now listen little girl. ." the voice was cut off by Dragamon.

"Nobody talks to my new friend that way, CHARCOAL BREATH!!! With that a Stream of fire shot out of Dragamon's mouth towards the voice.

"OUCH!!!" The voice yelled as the owner of the voice flew out of the shadows looking desperately for any water to put out the fire on him. "You didn't have to set me on fire. That really hurt yup yup." Jun and Dragamon stared at the digimon, then stared at each other, and then back at the little digimon.

"You're the one who wanted to fight us?" Jun asked. "Who are you anyway?

"I think I know Dragamon said as she tugged at the leg of Jun's pants. "That's the famous Digimon trainer Piximon.

"Piximon?" Jun asked.

PIXIMON

Type: Vaccine

Level: Ultimate

Attacks: Pixibomb

"Yup yup that's me." Piximon said with a smile. "I made the seal outside. I wanted nothing to interfere with our meeting." At this point Jun and Dragamon were confused. "You see the other digidestined have been making their digimon stronger over time, and thus are more prepared for the coming battle. You only just met Dragamon so she's not strong enough yet. But she'll have to be soon to face the latest threat. And that's where I come in. I am here to help you two in your digivolving so that when the time comes you will be ready."

"I think I understand, so what happens now?" Jun asked.

"Now, we train."

"There's something I need to do first."

Meanwhile . . .

Matt and Ken were still waiting for Davis and Yolie to arrive, while trying to find a way to get to Jun. So far the waiting part was coming along better. Just then Matt's D-Terminal started to beep.

"E-mail." Matt said as he opened the D-Terminal.

Subject: Update

"Hi Matt, don't worry I'm still ok, and I'm not alone in this cave anymore. I met this digimon called Dragamon, she's my digimon. And I also met this unusual digimon called Piximon he says he wants to help dragamon get stronger. I can't get out of here until I pass his tests so you guys just stay put ok. Hopefully this won't take long.

Jun.

"Hope his idea of training when we first met him doesn't apply now." Matt said with a chuckle.

"What do you mean?" Ken asked.

"Oh yeah you weren't there. When we first met piximon we weren't as experienced as we are now. He said he wanted to help us get stronger. He sent Tai off alone and he made the rest of us clean his house. And it was a big house. My back is still sore just thinking about it."

"HEY!" came a voice not too far from them.

"That's got to be Davis I recognize that yell anywhere." Ken said with a smirk. And sure enough Aquillamon landed a few feet from them and Yolie, Davis, and Veemon got off.

"Sorry we're late we had to make sure my mom didn't see us." Davis said as he walked over to Matt. "Where's my sister?"

"She's in there, but there's no telling how long she'll be.

Back in the cave. . .

"Ok, for this simulation you will be facing Kuwagamon." Piximon said as he made a translucent Kuwagamon appear. Jun was a little scared.

"So we have to (gulp) beat him?"

"Beat him you must yup yup. Now Kuwagamon is a champion digimon, to have any chance at all you will have to make Dragamon digivolve to the same level. Good luck. BEGIN!!" With that the Kuwagamon training dummy started to move.

"Don't worry Jun I'll protect you." Dragamon said as she tok an offensive stance in front of Jun.

"Yes but who's going to protect you?"

"CHARCOAL BREATH!!" Dragamon shot a stream of fire at Kuwagamon, but it just fizzled out on impact. Dragamon took flight, she quickly circled around Kuwagamon and tried to attack again. "CHARCOAL BREATH!! Still no effect. Now it was Kuwagamon's turn.

"SCISSOR CLAW!!" Kuwagamon swatted at Dragamon knocking the little digimon right out of the air. Dragamon slammed against one of the cave walls.

"Dragamon! GET UP!!" Jun shouted. Kuwagamon slowly turned to face the sound, he had found a new target. He started to move towards Jun. He was getting closer, and Dragamon was still out cold. Jun backed up as far as she could. But then she couldn't move anymore she was petrified with fear. "Dragamon where are you?" Jun said as tears started to fall from her eyes. Kuwagamon was just a few feet from her now. He raised his hand to strike. At that moment Dragamon opened her eyes, looked over and saw her new friend in danger.

"Jun I'm comming!" Dragamon tried to fly to Jun's aid, only to be knocked down by Kuwagamon. Kuwagamon, to add insult to injury started to crush Dragamon under his foot. "AAAAAHHHHH!" Dragamon cried out in pain.

"DRAGAMON!!" Jun's eyes started to tear up. For just a simulation this seemed real enough. (I can't just sit here, she's getting hurt for me, me of all people.) Jun thought to herself, then she screamed. ISN'T THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO!!!" Then on the floor near her came a bright red glow. The glowing got brighter, and then it stopped. Where the glow had been now stood what looked like a helment with two swords crossed together on the top of it. It started to float over to her and it stopped in her hands. "What. .is this?" She said.

"That is your digimental it will enable your digimon to armor digivolve!" Piximon called out from his hiding spot. "To use it you have to shout 'Digi armor energize'.

"DIGI ARMOR ENERGIZE!" Jun cried out holding the digimental. Suddenly Kuwagamon was thrown off Dragamon and Dragamon began to glow a bright red.

"Dragamon armor digivolve to. . .KNIGHTDRAMON GUARDIAN OF COMPASSION!!!"

"Wow, that was the coolest." Jun couldn't believe what she had just seen, where Dragamon once stood, now stood a digimon that looked like a red dragon standing upright like a human would. She wore fancy plate mail armor and carried both a broad sword and a scimitar. Her helment looked like the digimental, and now instead of two wings she had four, still feathered instead of scaley.

DIGIMON ANALYZER

Name: Knightdramon

Type: Vaccine

Level: Armor Digimon

Attacks: X Sclice, Sword Blazer

"I am Knightdramon as Dragamon I used the digimental of compassion to armor digivolve, my Sword Bazer attack will stun my opponent long enough for me to finish him off with my powerful X Sclice." Kuwagamon had regained his composure and started to charge at Knightdramon. "It's time to end this, SWORD BLAZER!!" The broadsword began to catch fire. Dragamon pointed it at Kuwagamon and shot a stream of fire from the broadsword. The stream circled around Kuwagamon and trapped him in a ring of fire. "X SCLICE!!" Knightdramon took both her swords, held them avove her head and swung them down in the shape of an X. Two beams of energy appeared where the sowrds swung, she then held her arms out and did it again this time it formed a horizontal line of energy. Finally she took a swing at the energy, sending it right for Kuwagamon.

"Way to go Knightdramon!" Jun yelled. The energy waves hit Kuwagamon dead on, and he dissappeared in a cloud of smoke. The battle won, Knightdramon began to glow yellow and dedigivolved back to Dragamon. Also a beam of light shot out of her and into Jun's D-Terminal. Jun opened it and saw an egg shape on the screen. It was then that Piximon came out of hiding.

"That was amazing, you truly deserve to be called a digidestined yup yup you do." Dragamon flew over to Jun who took the little digimon in her arms.

"Dragamon you're the best." Jun said.

"Awww Jun." Dragamon's face turned a brighter shade of red than it usually was.

"This is but the first step in a long journey for you, along the way Dragamon will be able to digivolve in other ways, but you have to find out how for yourself." Jun and Dragamon looked up at Piximon.

"So what happens now?" Jun asked.

"Well the first thing you need to do is join up with the rest of the digidestined, you will need to stick by them yup yup." Suddenly Jun's eyes went wide.

"The others! They're still waiting for me!"

"Then you should leave this place, I will remove the seal." One of the walls dissappeared and Jun could see Matt, Ken, Davis, Yolie and all their digimon sitting on rocks waiting. "You musn't keep them waiting."

"Bye Piximon thanks for everything, I hope to see you again." Jun called out as she and Dragamon walked out of the cave.

"Are those your friends Jun?" Dragamon asked. Jun wasn't sure how to answer, they had never really considered her a friend, least of all Matt who she had a crush on, but she had never acted more than an obsessed fangirl. Though he had been nicer to her since she got to the digital world.

At the same time. . .

Davis was starting to pace, it was unusual for him to be so worried about Jun. But than again it was also unusual for Jun to be in the digital world.

"All this waiting is driving me nuts," he said, not noticing the wall with Jun's crest symbol on it was gone.

"Take it easy Davis, if she found her Digimon then she'll be ok." Yolie said trying to reassure him.

"I know how he feels." Matt added.

"You mean about T.K.?" Asked Gabumon.

"Yeah even though I knew Patamon was with him, I still got really worried that time we were separated by Devimon. I think it's different when you have a family member fighting alongside you." Matt sighed remembering the good old days. It was then that Ken noticed the wall was gone, and Jun was walking towards them.

"Jun over here!" He shouted as he stood up. Jun walked over to the group. Davis stood up, approached her, and then did something that caught everyone off guard: he hugged her.

"Jun you had me so worried." Jun was a little shocked by her brother's sudden display of affection.

"Don't worry Davis, I had help." Just then Dragamon stepped out from behind her. "Oh this is Dragamon, my digimon."

"Hi, nice to meet all of you." The little digimon said.

"Hi." All the kids and their digimon said in unison.

"Well now that we found her we should get back, is there a gate nearby Ken?" Yolie said. Ken fished out his D-Terminal, and looked at Izzy's map.

"Yeah there should be one not too far from here." He said.

20 minutes later in the real world.

Jun and the others had gotten back safely, but Dragamon was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey where's Dragamon?" Jun asked from atop the heap of kids that usually formed when they came back to the real world.

"I'm down here. Will you all please get off me?" Came a tiny muffled voice. As the kids untaggled themselves they noticed somehting that is best described as a little red head with a horn sticking out in front and two small feathery wings. "That hurt, any way I am also Dragamon, I guess comming through the gate drained my energy, so this is my In Training form, just call me Onamon.

"Hey Jun, can I talk to you for a sec?" Matt said.

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to say. .I'm sorry. I misjudged you." Jun couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"That's ok Matt, I never really gave you a chance to get to know me, I never really tried to show you the real me." Jun started to feel shy.

"Well if it's ok with you, I wouldn't mind getting to know you better, wanna hang out sometime?" He asked. Jun's face lit up.

"Matt I would love to."

"Tomorrow sound good?" Matt asked, Jun nodded her head.

Jun couldn't stop smiling as she and Davis walked home with Onamon and Demiveemon in hand.

"We should probably go back tomorrow and destroy some more Control Spires." Davis said.

"Yeah, from what I've heard they caused alot of problems." Jun said.

"Don't worry Jun," Onamon said, "as long as we're together there's nothing we can't do. So when do we eat?" Demiveemon's stomach started growling too.

"Yeah Davish I'm starved." The little blue digimon said, holding his little stomach.

"Sometimes I think these little guys are all stomach." Jun giggled out and Davis couldn't help but laugh.

From high atop a building Arukenimon watched this new digidestined. The more she watched the angrier she got. Mummymon emerged from the shadows.

"What's wrong my dear?" He asked.

"Look down there." She said as she handed Mummymon the binoculars.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes, a new digidestined, and she's got an Onamon, from what I hear they are very powerful once digivolved."

"What does this mean for us?" He said handing her back the binoculars.

"It means that we might have to raise the stakes a little. If we want any hope of succeding we must destroy that Onamon." She said as she began to laugh.
