"Hey Kari!" Davis smiled, as he and Veemon caught up to the girl in front of him.
"Huh? Oh hi Davis!" Kari said, smiling back.
Davis felt his insides melt and tried not to go red. "So...um...we're all going to the Digital World today, huh?"
"It's nothing much Davis...just our routine patrols...Izzy is even considering us to stop doing them...the Digital World been quiet lately?"
"So is TM coming?" Davis sighed.
"Of course..." Kari nodded. "TK is one of us Davis!"
IGreat/I, Davis thought. II don't want to get into another argument about TK...but Kari's my girl! At least, I keep telling myself that!/I
Meanwhile several feet below, Davis and Kari's Digimon were coversing also.
"So!" Veemon grinned. "Think we'll meet any evil Digimon, today?
Gatomon shrugged. "I don't think so, everthing's been quiet for a while...besides, I'm more experienced when it comes to evil Digimon, I don't blame you being scared!"
Veemon jumped in surprise and sweatdropped. "I'm not scared!"
Gatomon shrugged again. "Of course, you can keep telling yourself that!"
When they reached the computer room, Veemon was muttering to himself.
"I ain't scared....amn't I? Or am I scared? Or is Gatomon scared? Maybe her telling me I'm scared, which I'm not, is telling me that even though she isn't scared, she is! Oh...my head hurts!"
Gatomon giggled at Veemon's confusion as they walked into the computer room.
"You finally got here!" Yolei exclaimed, as the two humans and Digimon strolled in. "Too busy flirting with Kari, Davis?"
Davis jumped and began to sweat. "I-I don't flirt with Kari, Yolei!!"
Everyone laughed, even Veemon.
"Aww...I'm a walking joke..." Davis mumbled.
"Okay everyone!" said Izzy. "Today is just your usual patrol, twenty minutes in and out, then you can all go home and do your homework!"
Yolei gasped. "That reminds me! I got a ten page English assigment for tomorrow! And I haven't started!"
Davis grinned and saw this as an opportunity for revenge. "Ohh...too busy flirting with Ken, Yoeli?"
For once, everyone laughed at Davis' joke, and Davis received a quick backhand to the head by Yoeli.
"K-K-Keep you mouth SHUT!" she snapped as Davis continued chuckling.
Izzy rolled his eyes. "Okay everyone, if you've all finished being stupid..."
"I have more..." Davis shrugged. "But if your done..."
"Can we get a move on?" Cody put in. "I have kendo practice later...and I have to get more prune juice for Grampa..."
"Y'know everyone..." Ken said, speaking for the first time. "We all treat these patrols as routine, how do we know something won't happen one day that requires our complete attention?"
TK nodded. "Ken's right...the forces of evil haven been quite for too long! I don't like it one bit!"
Izzy held up his hands. "I wouldn't worry...just because the forces of evil have been quiet since Malomyotismon's defeat, doesn't mean they're planning something! Things could be just going our way for once!"
"Can we go yet?!" Davis asked, holding his D3 up to the computer.
"Okay everyone..." Izzy nodded, walking out. "I'll see you all later."
"Digi-Port open!" Davis shouted as all the Digidestined and Digimon were sucked into the Digital World...
*
"Okay everyone!" Davis said, as they arrived in the Digital World. Davis stood up on a nearby rock, taking charge. "We'll split into groups! I go with Kari!"
Everyone groaned. "Why do we have to go with Kari? It would make sense for her to go with Yolei, her DNA digivolving partner!" Cody pointed out.
"But the DNA digivolving doesn't work or is needed anymore! Gennai said so!" Davis said, a victorious grin on his face.
"Well I don't mind Davis, it's a good plan!" Veemon agreed.
"Yeah...probably because he's going with Gatomon!" Armadillomon whispered to Wormon, as the two burst out laughing.
"Yeah...yeah...laugh it up!" Veemon shouted, going red.
"Look..." Davis sweatdropped. "Can everyone just stop making fun of me and Veemon and just get going?!! Umm...Yoeli with Ken...and...Cody with TK..."
And with that, the group set off in their respective directions.
*
Puppetmon sighed as he continued walking through the Digital World, clutching his mallet.
Digimon jumped out of the way in fear at the sight of him.
"No-one wants to be my friend..." Puppetmon sighed. "Do they really hate me so much? I could always make friends...but I always bullied them into it! Why can't I make friends like normal? Huh?"
Puppetmon looked up and saw many wooden huts, and small pink blobs bouncing around happily.
"Koromon!" Puppetmon said, recognising the In-Training Digimon. "Will they be my friends? Or just run away like everyone else?"
Puppetmon walked up to the entrance of the Koromon village where around five Koromon were playing in the grass happpily.
"On no!" one gasped, when they saw Puppetmon coming forward. "Run!"
Four of the five Koromon ran off into the village, leaving a small fifth one running behind.
Puppetmon dropped his mallet and began to cry. "Why will no-one be my friend?!" he cried, collpasing to the ground, as tears ran down his wooden face.
The small Koromon who was left behind, bounced forward cautiously. "Umm...you okay mister?"
Puppetmon stopped crying and stood up. "W-Why don't you run away?"
"Well...you look sad...and when someone is sad...a friend should always be there to cheer them up!" the Koromon smiled.
"W-Will you be friend?" Puppetmon asked hopefully.
"Sure!" the Koromon laughed, holding up his left ear for Puppetmon to take it in his hand.
Puppetmon picked up his mallet and took the Koromon's ear with the other as the Koromon led Puppetmon through the village.
Many Koromon gasped when they saw Puppetmon being led through the village.
"Hold on everyone!" the little Koromon shouted. "Puppetmon just wants to be our friend! He's lonely! And we Koromon know, no-one should be lonely, right?"
The Koromon around the village square looked at each other and nodded in agreement, they all rushed forward to greet Puppetmon.
When the greetings subsided, the small Koromon turned to Puppetmon. "Do you know how to play tag?"
Puppetmon nodded. "Yeah! I used to always play with Floramon and Deramon! But back then, I had a cannon which made it more exciting!"
The Koromon chuckled nervously. "Well...er...we can still play it! But old rules, okay?"
Puppetmon nodded.
"Tag! You're it!" the Koromon laughed, hitting Puppetmon around the ankles with his ears and running off.
Puppetmon laughed. "H-Hey! Wait up!"
*
"So Kari...eh...er..." Davis said, trying to make a stab at conversation.
"'So Kari' what?" Kari asked, turning to Davis.
"Em...nothing..." Davis sighed.
"Nice day..." Kari said, looking up at the clear blue sky over the Digital World.
"Huh? Oh yeah..." Davis nodded. "Not as nice as you though!"
"What did you say Davis?!" Kari laughed.
Davis jumped and turned to Veemon. "Did I say that last part or think it?"
"You said it!" Veemon snickered, trying to hold in his laughter.
Davis turned back to Kari. "Nothing Kari! So whats new in your life lately?"
"I wonder will us Digimon be like that, when we're in love?" Veemon muttered to Gatomon.
Gatomon looked at Veemon. "Maybe some of us are in love already..."
Veemon missed her comment entirely. "I think we're coming up to the Koromon village now!"
The four emerged at the edge of a hill, that looked out over the Koromon village.
"So this is the Koromon village..." Davis said.
"Yep!" Kari nodded, looking over the wooden huts. "Huh? It can't be!"
"It can't what?" Davis asked.
"Gatomon!" Kari said, turning to her Digimon. "Do you see what I see?" Kari asked, pointing at an area of the Koromon village.
"It can't be!" Gatomon realised. "He was destroyed ages ago!"
Davis looked at the area of the village, and could make out a small wooden figure, clutching a large mallet, chasing some Koromon. "Who's that?"
"That's Puppetmon!" Kari explained. "One of the Dark Masters!"
"That's Puppetmon? He looks like he's attacking those Koromon! C'mon guys! We gotta save them!" Davis ordered.
Kari, Gatomon and Veemon all nodded in agreement.
"Digi-Armour Energize!" Kari and Davis shouted as energy shot out of their D-Terminals, into their D3s, which produced an egg each which bonded with Veemon and Gatomon respectively.
"Gatomon armour digivolved to..."
"Veemon armour Digivolved to..."
"...Nefertimon! The Angel of Light!"
"...Flamedramon! The Fires of Courage!"
"You go ahead!" Davis said to Kari, as she hopped on Nefertimon's back. "I'll e-mail the others! If this really is Puppetmon, we're in a heap of trouble!"
Davis quickly took out his D-Terminal to e-mail the others and began typing....
*
"Got you!" Puppetmon laughed, as he picked up the small Koromon by the ears.
The Koromon giggled. "You're really fun to play with Puppetmon!"
Puppetmon put the Koromon down. "Now I guess you're-"
"Rosseta Stone!"
Puppetmon barely turned around when two slabs of rock hit him in the back, knocking him to the ground.
"You okay Puppetmon?" the Koromon asked.
"I'm fine..." Puppetmon said, turning around. "But what was-"
He then paused when he saw a sphinx-like creature hovering there, with a human girl on her back...Puppetmon recognised her as an older Kari...one of the Digidestined he clashed with years ago.
"You!" Puppetmon sneered. "Back for more are you?!" he roared, picking up his mallet.
"We sure are!" said Nefertimon. "We will always defend Digimon from your evil acts!"
"Evil wha-?" Puppetmon gasped. "Wait a min-"
"Save your explanations for the Dark Ocean, Puppetmon!" Kari snapped. "'Cause that's where you're headed as soon as Ken gets here!"
"Ken who?" Puppetmon asked. "This is one big mist-"
"Fire Rocket!"
Puppetmon gasped as something fiery slammed into him, knocking him to the ground.
"I'll get help!" the small Koromon shouted to Puppetmon, running into the village.
Puppetmon looked up and saw Flamedramon standing there, his armour gleaming in the sunlight.
"We're here to put a stop to your evil acts Puppetmon!" Flamedramon said calmly.
"That's the second time you've said I'm evil hold on-"
"Rosseta Stone!"
Once again, two slabs of rock walloped into Puppetmon's stomach, winding him temporarily.
"Okay...okay...okay...which one of you did that..." Puppetmon gasped, his vision going fuzzy.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon yelled again, slamming into Puppetmon.
Puppetmon recovered quickly and shook himself. "I'm putting a stop to this!" Puppetmon said, jumping up and gripping his mallet. "Puppet Pummel!"
Puppetmon walloped Flamedramon, knocking him into a hill in the distance. Puppetmon saw a boy with messy brown hair and goggles...sort of like that other Digidestined kid...running over to Flamedramon.
"Okay who's next?!" he roared, beckoning with his hand.
To Be Continued!
Will Puppetmon defeat the Digidestined? Don't miss the next instalement!
"Huh? Oh hi Davis!" Kari said, smiling back.
Davis felt his insides melt and tried not to go red. "So...um...we're all going to the Digital World today, huh?"
"It's nothing much Davis...just our routine patrols...Izzy is even considering us to stop doing them...the Digital World been quiet lately?"
