Episode 4
THE HUNT FOR THE DIGIDESTINED
"Talk about your bad days. While Tai was having fun hanging out with his sister and his friend Lily, Mimi and I were out in the searing heat searching for the ninth Digidestined and of course we didn't find him. Then to make things even worse, this big ugly vulture called Skullvulmon showed up and attacked us! Maybe the heat was getting to her, too. Anyway, Gomamon and Palmon digivolved to Ikkakumon and Togemon, and hopefully they'll send that ugly bird flying." -Joe
Skullvulmon stared at the two newly-digivolved Digimon with a mixture of amusment and contempt on her ugly face.
"Is this the best you have?" she laughed.
Togemon and Ikkakumon glowered at her. "Seems the bird could use a little feather clipping, if you ask me," Togemon growled.
Skullvulmon narrowed her red eyes. "We'll see who clips who."
Suddenly, she leaped into the air and hovered, beating her wings, above Togemon and Ikkakumon.
"NEEDLE SPRAY!"
"HARPOON TORPEADO!"
Togemon and Ikkakumon launched their attacks at Skullvulmon, but suddenly...
"FIRE OF DECAY!"
A torrent of flame spat from Skullvulmon's beak, engulfing the other Digimon's attacks. The flame hit Togemon and Ikkakumon and they were thrown back suddenly into a not-so-well-placed building.
"Ohhhhhhh," Togemon and Ikkakumon both murmured.
"Ikkakumon!" Joe yelled.
"Oh, no, Togemon!" Mimi screamed. Suddenly, from under her dress, a bright beam of light shot out, and Joe could see the sillohette of Mimi's Crest of Sincerety underneath the fabric. Mimi's digivice gave a piercing trill.
"Togemon! Digivolve to...LILLYMON!"
The watching spectators gasped in wonder. "Whaaaat?" Skullvulmon sqwaked indignantly as she fell away from the fairy-like creature before her.
"You're not the only one who can fly, you silly birdie!" Lillymon mocked as she spread her dainty wings and took to the air.
"I guess we'll just have to see who's stronger, then!" Skullvulmon yelled. She tucked her wings back and suddenly shot straight at Lillymon, but the Digimon skipped easily out of Skullvulmon's path.
Joe made his way quickly to Ikkakumon's side. "Sorry, Joe, but I'm out of energy," the big Digimon sighed wearily. "I have to dedigiviolve. But I think Lillymon can handle this one."
"That's okay, my friend," Joe replied as Ikkakumon began to dedigivolve. Once he was Gomamon again, the two looked up.
Lillymon was darting and weaving through the sky at an amazing rate, faster and more agile than the quickest of birds. Skullvulmon was darting after her as fast as she could, but the bird Digimon was no match for Lillymon. No matter how many times Skullvulmon launched her Fire of Decay, Lillymon easily avoided it. The crowd of people oohed and ahhed and watched in awe as Lillymon continued her strangely beautiful dance across the sky.
"That's the way to do, Lillymon!" Gomamon yelled in support of his Digimon friend.
Skullvulmon was quickly slowing down. Finally she landed on the ground, exhausted. Lillymon zipped away out of sight. Skullvulmon whirled around furiously, searching for her, but couldn't find her. Neither could Mimi and Joe, though they searched just as hard.
Then suddenly, from the air..."Yoo-hoo!"
Skullvulmon's head snapped up.
"FLOWER CANNON!"
Skullvulmon gave one last, anguished shriek before she dissolved into nothing.
"Yeah! All right, Lillymon!" Mimi cried as her Digimon slowly drifted back to the ground. The crowd cheered along with Joe and Mimi as they rushed forward. Lillymon smiled as she began to glow, and soon Palmon was sitting on the ground, looking tired but immensely proud.
******************
Tai, Kari, and Lily wandered the streets together, having a good time complaining about the heat. Both Tai and Kari kept their digivices clutched in their hands, just in case they picked up a reading from the ninth digivice.
Lily sighed dubiously. "This heat is driving me nuts. It's too boring inside but too hot outside. I wish it would snow, like it did at your camp, Tai."
Tai looked at his friend and rolled his eyes. "You're the only one who ever liked cold weather, Lily."
She grinned at him. "Must be something in my blood."
"I like cold weather," Kari said. "Especially when it snows."
"See?" Lily said smugly. "Your sister's on my side."
"Gee, thanks, Kari," Tai said dryly. "What ever happened to family loyalty?"
Lily and Kari both laughed while Tai glowered at them.
Lily was the same age that Tai was, and about the same height if you minused his hair. She had dark brown hair, almost black, and very light blue eyes. She was wearing a white tank top that was nearly the same color as her pale skin and khaki pants, plus a pair of brown sandals that she must have gotten at the beach or something.
"Tai!" Someone was calling his name. Tai looked up and saw Mimi, Joe, Palmon and Gomamon racing toward him.
"You two stay here," he said quickly. "I'll be right back."
Lily and Kari looked at each other and shrugged while Tai ran to meet Joe and Mimi.
"What's wrong, you guys?" Tai demanded. "You look totally freaked out."
"We've got some bad news," Joe said.
"What happened?"
"Well," Joe said, "this morning Mimi and I went out to look for the ninth digidestined kid. Things were going fine for a while and then suddenly, out of nowhere, this huge bird Digimon called Skullvulmon came swooping down!"
"I had to digivolve to Lillymon to save us," Palmon interrupted.
"Did you have any trouble defeating it after that?" Tai asked.
"No, Lillymon took care of that birdie right away," Mimi said.
"I assume she was an Ultimate, or maybe a very strong Champion," Joe said. "In any case, she
was no match for Lillymon. But that's not the point. The point is, there are Digimon back on Earth, which could mean that we aren't the only ones searching for the Digidestined!"
"Okay, calm down, Joe," Tai said. "I know, this is serious. Go home and call the others, and tell them to come over my house as soon as they can. We need to figure out what to do."
"Right," Mimi and Joe replied, and the two took off.
He went back to Lily and Kari. "Come on. We've got to go home."
"Okay," Kari said, and Lily followed without a word. She knew Tai well enough to know that something was definitely up.
