I guess I'm getting into the habit of getting the disclaimer out of the way first. I don't own Digimon this is just fan fiction please don't sue me. Anyway here yus all go Chapter 45 and thus the final interactive Chapter, this time it's Roy and Travis's turn, and now I'm going to stop typing and let you read it.
------------------------------
Chapter 45: Mission Four Brazil
Rob
Thunderous footsteps rocked the earth with each step Monochromon took. Six of us were currently trudging through the Brazilian rainforest; we had been for the last couple hours, and so far without a sign of any Digimon. We'd had a quick encounter with a Jaguar, and Sean had almost gotten eaten, not even Tapirmon could act fast enough to help him, if Blackgatomon hadn't seen it at the last second, he would have been Jaguar lunch. So we decided that Gotsumon should Digivolve into Monochromon, and we all rode on his back, his large size was great at keeping animals away, and unfortunately it seemed to be keeping Digimon away too.
"Anything yet?" Emily asked lying back on Monochromon's back.
"No nothing," Sean said looking at the radar of his Digivice. "Aside from our own Digimon there's nothing here."
Emily groaned. "Great just great, you know I came here to get away from the boredom, not to find a different form of it. This is just great riding on a smelly dinosaur's back in a damp hot rainforest."
"You had to volunteer her to come with us didn't you?" Sean said quietly to me.
"If we hadn't brought her you'd be cat food," I reminded. "She saved your life."
"She didn't her Digimon did."
"Yeah, but she's the one her told Blackgatomon to attack in the first place."
"That still doesn't make up for what she's done."
"We gave Andrew another chance," I said. "Why not her?"
"We've said it a million times," Sean said. "Andrew thought the whole thing was a video game, he was trying to play his role, I didn't want to accept it at first but he's not really that bad a guy, but Emily knew that this was real, she knew she was hurting real living beings."
"You said it yourself," I said. "You didn't want to accept it at first, we didn't trust Andrew at first, all of us were hesitant to trust him, but he ended up being a nice guy, Emily could be the same way, it's just going to take more time."
"Why are you defending her anyway?" Sean snapped.
"I - uh." I stuttered.
"Oh my God you've got a crush on her don't you?"
"Quiet!" I said. "She's right there."
"You do! Don't you, otherwise you wouldn't have hesitated when I asked you why you were defending her, and you told me to be quiet."
"I told you to be quiet because if she heard you say that she'd kick both our asses, and I defended her - I defender her because - I just did okay!"
"You defended her because you like her," Sean said now in a teasing kind of voice.
"Just shut up," I said still trying to be quiet.
He was right though; as much as I didn't really want to admit it I did like her. I didn't like her during the war when she was the Digimon Empress I hated her! She did horrible things, and at that point she disgusted me. Then when she was revived, and I saw her not as the Digimon Empress, but as Emily I don't know I just kind of had this feeling. I refused to accept it at first, but then as Andrew dragged her to hang out with us I realized she wasn't all that bad, she even had the potential to be nice…at times, and if I might add wasn't that bad looking either.
"Hey guys," Monochromon said snapping me out of my thoughts. "You might want to check your Digivices again, I smell something, a Digimon."
Sean already had his Digivice out and immediately glanced down at the screen.
"He's right," Sean said. "There's a Digimon approaching us as we speak."
"It's about time," Emily said shooting from her lying position.
Monochromon froze in place waiting for the Digimon to appear, but as he stopped the thunderous footsteps he created didn't.
"It doesn't sound like that small of a Digimon either," Tapirmon said.
I watched as two trees fell to the ground, stomped down by the Digimon the six of us were now looking at. Like Monochromon it was a dinosaur Digimon. He resembled a Brachiosaurus, and his colouring was exactly the same as Greymon's orange with blue stripes, and had a large horn on the top of his head.
"It's a Brachiomon," Emily said. "I recognize it because a Brachiomon was the first Ultimate Andrew and I tried to enslave."
"That's probably not going to help us much," Sean said.
The Brachiomon didn't stop when he saw us he continued to charge through the jungle straight at us, Monochromon responded immediately and moved out of the way, but Brachiomon didn't continue to plow through the jungle like we'd expected, he stopped and turned around and charged at us again.
"Volcanic strike!" Monochromon yelled firing several fireballs from his mouth, which exploded in Brachiomon's face. The attack didn't seem to faze him though; the giant dinosaur Digimon just plowed on through tackling Monochromon and tossing him aside while the rest of us flew in various directions. I got up from my landing place in the dirt and after making sure everyone was okay turned my attention to my Digimon as he slowly got up after being trampled by Brachiomon, and the two were now facing each other down.
"Monochromon! He's an Ultimate Digimon, you have to Digivolve."
"No problem," Monochromon said. "I just need that crest."
I began to reach for my crest when a small voice suddenly echoed throughout the area and stopped me.
"Blazing ice!" a voice yelled as dozens of icicles landed on Brachiomon's face.
It hadn't hurt Brachiomon in the least, but it had turned his attention away from us, and to the top of a nearby tree where a small brownish red floppy eared rabbit Digimon stood.
"Nice shot Lopmon," a kid approximately our age said as he leaned against the tree that the Digimon whose name I assumed was Lopmon stood at the top of.
"Who's that?" Emily asked. "And why does he have a Digimon?"
"Oops," Sean said. "I knew I forgot something."
"What?" Emily yelled. "What the hell did you forget?"
"Nothing too important," Sean said weakly, I just forgot to tell you that about an hour ago Kris sent us an e-mail that said there were other Digidestined around the world, and that we should keep a look out for Digidestined in Brazil, he's probably one of them."
Emily didn't have time to get angry Brachiomon attacked first.
"Brachio bubble!" firing energy bubble from his mouth at Lopmon.
Lopmon was very quick and easily jumped out of the way extending his giant ears and glided to another tree.
"That was pathetic," Lopmon said. "You're really slow you know."
"Brachio bubble!" Brachiomon yelled firing another attack.
Lopmon easily dodged that attack too in the same manner, only to dodge a third one just as easily dodging from tree to tree. He was actually laughing while he did.
"Come on you can do better than that." Lopmon teased as he landed on the top of a tree. This tree was too small to support him and bent down as he landed on it.
Brachiomon had finally gotten fed up with firing his attack and simply charged Lopmon, but as the monstrous dinosaur Digimon approached Lopmon, the small rookie Digimon hopped off the bent over tree which shot upwards hitting Brachiomon right in the head sending the Brachiomon toppling over.
"Wow," I said. "That rookie just took out an Ultimate single handed."
"I wouldn't say he took him out," Emily said. "Brachiomon are tough, I would know one almost defeated Ladydevimon when I was the Digimon Empress, he'll be getting up pretty soon."
"Then let's make sure he doesn't do it here," I said. "Sean, toss me that laptop."
Sean did as I asked and tossed me the laptop, and I held my Digivice up to the screen.
"Digiport open!" I said as a bright light shot out of the computer thus opening the Digiport.
I held the Digiport up to the weakened Ultimate Digimon who was about to get up and sucked him into the Digiport.
"Hey!" Lopmon's partner yelled running up to us. "What did you do to him? Lopmon and I were just trying to stop him from destroying the rainforest we didn't want to kill him!"
"Calm down buddy," Emily said. "He didn't kill him all he did was send him back to the Digital World through a Digiport. "Oh, okay sorry about that, by the way, I'm Travis and this is my Digimon Lopmon."
"I'm Sean," Sean said stepping up. "This is my partner Tapirmon, Rob and his Digimon Monochromon, and miss personality here is Emily, and her partner Blackgatomon."
"That was a nice fight you had there," I said. "I'd never seen a rookie fight like that before, especially against an Ultimate."
"Thanks," Travis said. "Lopmon and I learned along time ago not to rely on pure power that a higher level gives, it's better to use your brain."
"And it's not hard to use your brain when your opponent has one the size of a walnut," Lopmon said jumping onto Travis's head.
'That may be true," Emily said. "But you can't rely on brains all the time, power is also necessary, you may have outsmarted Brachiomon for a second, but that would only have taken you so far, he was about ready to get up again. Then where would your pathetic little rabbit have been if we hadn't stepped in?"
"We would have figured something out," Travis said.
"Simple," Lopmon said. "I would have just Digivolved."
"You'd only be a Champion," Emily said coldly. "You'd still be no match against an Ultimate."
"Does this girl ever let up?" Lopmon asked.
"Sadly no," Tapirmon answered as he received a death glare from Emily.
"You guys might want to stop arguing for a second," Monochromon said. "Because I smell another Digimon coming."
"It must be that Jagamon!" Lopmon yelled.
"A what?" Blackgatomon asked.
"A Jagamon," Travis said. "It's a rock sheep Digimon. It's the whole reason we're in the rainforest in the first place, we noticed one run into the rainforest and we thought it was a little weird that there was a Digimon in the real world so we chased it into the rainforest. We were looking for it when we heard your fight and decided we'd help. We assume you guys are here to do the same thing, except you seem to know what your doing."
I nodded. "Yeah, these Digimon stumbled into our world by accident we're here to send them back."
"Here he comes!" Monochromon yelled interrupting me.
No sooner had those words come out of his mouth than a rock covered Digimon emerged from the forest. It was running full speed straight at Travis and Lopmon with no sign of stopping. Monochromon moved quickly picking them both up in his mouth and pulling them out of harms way as Jagamon continued to plow forward without any sign of stopping him.
"Blackgatomon," Emily said almost coldly. "Don't let him get away."
Blackgatomon gave a swift nod as she jumped into the air.
"Cat's eye hypnosis!" Blackgatomon yelled firing two energy beams from her eyes, which crashed right in front of Jagamon.
It didn't hit but it did scare the Jagamon who immediately turned in the opposite direction.
"Tapirmon!" Sean yelled.
"Tapirmon Digivolved to…………..Apemon!"
Apemon emerged from the light immediately and jumped in front of the stampeding Jagamon, stopping him with his bone. Jagamon didn't even try to fight back he immediately turned and started running, only to be stopped by Blackgatomon, he tried running a third direction but again he was stopped as Monochromon stepped in his way. Jagamon didn't look like he wanted to fight at all, he was timid, he just wanted to get away he just wanted to get home, good thing that's exactly what we were going to do, all he needed to do was stand still. He still had one way to go there was one final gap to his right, he had just noticed.
"Lopmon stop him!" Travis commanded.
Lopmon nodded, as a bright light emerged from the first model Digivice on his waist activated.
"Lopmon Digivolved to……………Turueimon!"
Lopmon's Champion form reacted the same way that Apemon had jumping into the final gap with all four Digimon surrounding Jagamon now. Turueimon looked similar to his rookie form, he stood about the average height of an adult human, he had large ears like Lopmon, he wore an orange jumpsuit, and a blue scarf. On his wrists were two wrists blades, which at the moment were retracted at the moment, but could be used as weapons if brought out.
Jagamon began to crouch down, looking extremely scared, despite that he was an Ultimate while the others were only Champions. I maneuvered my way between Monochromon and Blackgatomon and slowly approached the very scared Jagamon.
"It's okay little guy," I said approaching the timid sheep Digimon. "We're here to help, we're sending you home."
He only backed off more as I approached.
"Rob hurry!" Sean said, he was looking closely at his Digivice. "There's about a dozen more Digimon heading this way, and coming pretty quickly too. Wrap this up already."
I acted quickly, and held the computer up to Jagamon and sucked him into the Digiport.
"Okay let's go!" Monochromon said. "Hop on quick."
"Run?" Emily said. "I am not going to run. I don't see any reason why we don't stay and fight."
"Because we'd get pummeled." Monochromon said. "I can tell by the scent that that's a Jagamon stamped! A Jagamon stampede is extremely dangerous, Mega Digimon have been caught in them and killed instantly."
"There's only a dozen of them, besides you saw the way that other one reacted, it was scared of Champion Digimon why won't they be?"
"Because they're in a group," Travis said. "Alone Jagamon are very timid, but in a group and their stampeding they never stop until they feel for sure that whatever they're running from can't get to them anymore."
"That only makes it worse," Sean said. "Most likely they're afraid because they're in a different world than they're own, and are confused, they're not going to stop running until they get back home."
"And the only way they're going to get back home is if we fight them!" Emily yelled. "I didn't come here just to run away, like a coward!"
"We can't send them back if we're dead!"
This didn't look like it was going anywhere, Emily was very persistent, which for some reason was one of the reason I was so attracted to her, and Sean had the crest of persistence, this fight wasn't going to die down anytime soon, it definitely wasn't a good time for the fight of the century.
"You guys, stop it!" I yelled. "If you keep fighting we're just going to -"
"Turueimon!" Travis interrupted. "Move now!"
"Gargo laser!" a voice similar to Turueimon's yelled as dozens of small laser beams shot out of the rainforest aimed straight at Turueimon, but thanks to Travis's warning he was able to dodge the lasers with great ease, he quickly detracted his wrist mounted blades.
"Blackgargomon!" Turueimon yelled. "I know it's you and Roy out there."
"Good guess," a boy who I assumed was Roy immerged from the dense forest along with a Digimon who also looked very similar to Lopmon and Turueimon who must have been his partner Blackgargomon. "But I bet Blackgargomon yelling out his attack like that kind of gave it away."
"They're getting closer!" Monochromon warned.
"Roy, this is not the time!" Travis yelled.
"What are you scared?" Roy asked. "Afraid Blackgargomon and I will embarrass you and Turueimon in front of your new friends."
"It's not that, there's a huge stampede of Jagamon heading right for this location, and you know how dangerous they are in large groups!"
"Yeah sure," Roy said. "You just don't want to fight, where's your proof?"
Suddenly the ground began to shake and not too far away trees could be heard snapping and falling to the ground.
"That proof enough for you!" Travis yelled.
"We have to go now!" Monochromon yelled. "And I can't run fast enough to escape all of them, but I do know who can."
I nodded showing I knew what my Digimon was talking about. "Triceramon."
"Monochromon Digivolved to……………..Triceramon!"
"Let's go!" Triceramon boomed breaking into a run.
He lowered his head as he ran by me and I quickly hopped on leaning against his smallest horn. Triceramon's tail swept over Emily, Blackgatomon, Sean and Apemon and placed them onto his back, while he grabbed Blackgargomon and Roy under one of his arms and Turueimon and Travis under the other, and commenced running at full speed.
The Jagamon stampede was now in clear few and had just trampled the small clearing we had just escaped from, and were still running ahead with no sign of tiring out and/or stopping.
"Hurry up dinosaur boy!" Emily yelled. "They're getting closer!"
"I'm running as fast as I can," Triceramon said.
"It's not fast enough," Emily ordered. "See if we just stayed and fought instead of running we wouldn't be in this mess."
"True," Sean said. "But only because we'd be dead!"
"We may have to fight," Triceramon said. "Because they're gaining quick, and I don't know how long I can keep up this pace."
We continued to run for a while but Triceramon was right, the longer we ran the slower he was going, he was fast but the Jagamon were faster, any second now we'd be thrown into the stampede. Okay, I was the perceptive one I was supposed to be the one to help figure a way out of this. Okay simple running wasn't going to work, and it was way to risky to have them simply run into the Digiport if even one of them didn't go through I could get trampled, so our only option was to somehow find a way to escape the stampede. Now the Jagamon we'd encountered earlier seemed dead set on going in one direction, they only reason he turned around was because Blackgatomon had threatened him, threatening them wasn't going to work because they were in a large group, and they had confidence and wouldn't run away when they were in a large group. So we'd just have to find a way out of their apt, and not just veering off it too, because there was still the danger of all the falling trees they were knocking over and all the rocks they were kicking up, we also needed shelter.
My eyes darted around our surroundings, looking for any kind of decent shelter something like - a cave! Which is exactly what I saw, just to the side, it looked like a fairly big one too, possible a home for bats, Triceramon could fit in it and then some.
"Triceramon veer left," I instructed my Digimon. "Into that cave."
Triceramon quickly glanced in the direction I was pointing, and turned as soon as he saw his destination.
"Now we'll just stay in that cave until the Jagamon have cleared out," I said. "Then we can think of some way to send them through the Digiport without getting trampled."
"One problem with that plan." Roy said. "I'd look behind us."
I took a quick glance behind us, which soon changed into a stare of horror. The Jagamon hadn't continued to go in the direction they were before they had veered left and were following us towards the cave.
"What the hell?" Emily yelled. "This doesn't make sense, when Jagamon stampede they don't pursue, they just run in a desperate panic."
I smacked myself in the forehead. "I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I see this? They're running in our direction for a reason, the same reason they're stampeding in the first place. They want to go home, and they're in a panic to do so, they saw Triceramon and identified him as a fellow Digimon, and because he's familiar they think he might be able to lead them back home, but they're too scared to realize that they're just going to end up trampling him along with the rest of us, Triceramon you better forget about the cave."
"No," Triceramon said.
"What? Triceramon it's probably a dead end going into the cave would trap us."
"For a while," Triceramon said. "But it'll also keep us safe. Tri horn attack!"
As we neared the cave Triceramon fired his attack knocking loose a boulder higher on the cliff where the cave was, he disobeyed my order and ran straight into the cave, no sooner than we were in than the boulder that Triceramon had knocked loose fell in front of the entrance to the cave blocking us in, but at the same time keeping the Jagamon out.
"Nice one," I complimented.
There was tons of banging on the rock coming from outside, the Jagamon were trying to get in. Triceramon stopped running and placed our new friends in his arm down and allowing the rest of us to slide down to the ground and off of his back.
Emily looked closely at the rock and said. "Yeah nice one, yeah it keeps the Jagamon out but how are we supposed to get out?"
"That's easy," Triceramon said. "I can move that thing easily. All we have to do is wait for the Jagamon to give up then I can move it and we're out."
"They're not going to give up," Apemon said. "Jagamon don't stop until they feel they're safe, they'll keep chipping away at that rock until they're in, and they're Ultimate Digimon. I can tell already that it won't take them very long to do it, I'd give them five minutes tops."
"Great, just great!" Emily groaned. "We're out of the frying pan and into the fire, nice plan you two."
"Forget them," Roy said. "Blackgargomon and I will handle them when they get here, first we're ending this first rivalry, take him Blackgargomon."
Turueimon prepared his blades as the two Digimon faced each other down.
"Fine," Travis said. "If you want a fight you'll get it."
"Guys this isn't exactly the best time to fight," I said. "We should be concentrate on them and not on fighting each other."
"You don't understand," Travis said. "Two years ago when Roy and I got our Digimon we both got Lopmon, and we've had this rivalry ever since to see who's Digimon was stronger, it only got more extreme when our Digimon Digivolved and we argued which one was better, none of us really won the fight."
The noises on the other side of the boulder only got louder, and more began to crumble.
"A friendly rivalry is fine," I said. "It's gives you Digimon a lot of battle experience, but right now isn't exactly the time."
"You don't understand how deep this rivalry is, nothing is going to stop this fight."
Suddenly the top of the boulder crumbled the Jagamon could now be clearly seen desperately trying to get in, and the rest of the boulder was crumbling fast.
"Or maybe it could," Roy said.
"You're right," Travis said. "I guess you could stop for a while and fight together."
Blackgargomon and Turueimon responded to their partners and lined up in front of the door weapons forward.
"It's about time we get to fight," Emily said nodding giving Blackgatomon the go ahead, and she lined up with the pair of rabbit Digimon.
"All of us will," I said. "Triceramon."
Triceramon obeyed, and stepped behind the three Digimon.
"Sean?" Apemon said. "Should I Digivolve and help too?"
Sean shook his head. "No, dedigivolve, then Digivolve."
"What?" Roy said. "What would be the point of that?"
I smiled understanding perfectly what Sean was talking about. "You'll see in a second."
Tapirmon too understood what Sean meant and immediately dedigivolved as Sean reached for his waist grabbing his crest and Digivice. "Now I suggest that all of you stand back because this next Digivolution is going to take up a lot of space."
"What is he talking about?" Blackgargomon asked. "Apemon isn't that big."
"He's not talking about Apemon," Triceramon said beginning to move to the back of the cave, the rest of us did the same, while our Brazilian friends were still confused to what was happening, as soon as we were in position Sean's crest and Digivice activated.
"Tapirmon Warp Digivolved to……………………Skullmammothmon!"
Sean was wise to have us stand back. Skullmammothmon was way to big to fit in the cave, and as the monstrous elephant like Digimon emerged he burst through the roof of the cave tossing the rock hard roof of the cave and the rest of the cliff aside like it was paper fully emerged from the cave and looming over the Jagamon stampede.
"Whoa!" Roy said in awe.
"A Mega Digimon." Travis said with the shame-shocked look on his face that Roy, Turueimon, and Blackgargomon had.
The Jagamon stampede were no longer dedicated to stampeding towards us, they now stood there in fear as they saw the giant Mega Digimon that loomed over them. It didn't take them long at all to turn around and run away as fast as possible, but Skullmammothmon wasn't about to let them run away. He jumped into the air sailing over the entire stampede landing right in front of them and stopping them from escaping. The Jagamon only turned and started running the opposite direction, but Skullmammothmon only jumped over them a second time and stopped them from escaping again.
"Okay let's stop this," Skullmammothmon said. "I won't hurt you, if you just stop panicking we can send you home."
They didn't listen they only started to run in the opposite direction yet again. Skullmammothmon sighed jumped over them and stopped them from running, but apparently not getting the pattern they only turned and ran again, but as usual they were stopped.
"Okay this is getting seriously annoying!" Emily yelled. "I know how to make them stop."
As the Jagamon turned around again Emily broke into a run and to my utter horror she ran right in front of the stampede.
"Emily NO!" I yelled starting to run towards her, I had to get her out of the way now there was no way I was going to let her get hurt - I - I cared way too much for her. I would have made it too if Triceramon hadn't picked me up.
"Let me go!" I screamed. "I have to help her."
"You can't help her," Triceramon said. "You'll just get hurt."
"Stop right now!!!" Emily yelled at the Jagamon stampeding straight towards her, and to absolutely everyone's surprise they actually did, and they looked even more afraid of her than they had been of Skullmammothmon.
"It's the - the Digimon Empress," one of them stuttered.
"Very nice observation!" Emily said coldly. "Now you're starting really annoy me! See that computer that kid has over there, now I want you all to walk into it where you can go home, and if you don't I'll have myself a dozen more slaves."
All dozen or so Jagamon nodded and slowly without taking their eyes off of Emily made there way over to me. I held up the glowing laptop and the Digiport and without the least bit of trouble they obeyed Emily and hopped right into it all twelve of them, as the last one entered the Digiport I shut it.
"Got'em," I said.
"And I believe that's all of them," Sean said looking at his radar screen, he had it in the longest range possible and there wasn't a stray Digimon in sight, all were accounted for and in the Digiport.
"How long do you think it'll be until Kris and Jenn get here to pick us up?" Triceramon asked.
"I have no idea," I answered.
"Well in the meantime you can watch the Digimon fight of the century." Travis said as Turueimon and Blackgargomon lined up in fighting stance.
"Not so fast," Blackgatomon said jumping between the two.
Emily slowly approached the edge of what looked like the battlefield. "Blackgatomon and I want in on this, I'm sure we can take both of you on."
"Uh this is supposed to be a one on one fight," Roy said, no sooner did he say that than Emily shot him a death glare. "But if you're want you're free to join in, there's no way I'd be dumb enough to argue with a girl that stopped a Jagamon stampede."
Emily grinned, not an evil smile but a really cute one that I found myself extremely attracted too. God I wished I could be with her. I was even more attracted to her now after seeing how she stopped the stampede, I'm not sure why but I found myself growing to like her even more after everything she did. I managed to shake my head and come out of my haze as I stared at Emily's beautiful face, and watched as the three Digimon began their friendly battle.
-----------------------
There it is the last interactive Chapter, but don't worry it's not the last time you'll see the international Digidestined of this fic, I promise you'll see them all again, though they probably won't play that important a role, and also another warning the next Chapter will be another lemon, if you don't like it tell me and maybe MAYBE I'll dum it down a bit and make it more of a soft lime, but if you do want a lemon tell me and I'll leave it the way it is, but I'm not going to tell you who the lemon is between it's going to be a surprise, there are three potential couples now.
Stay tuned for Chapter 46: Interlude # 4

Chapter 45: Mission Four Brazil
Rob
Thunderous footsteps rocked the earth with each step Monochromon took. Six of us were currently trudging through the Brazilian rainforest; we had been for the last couple hours, and so far without a sign of any Digimon. We'd had a quick encounter with a Jaguar, and Sean had almost gotten eaten, not even Tapirmon could act fast enough to help him, if Blackgatomon hadn't seen it at the last second, he would have been Jaguar lunch. So we decided that Gotsumon should Digivolve into Monochromon, and we all rode on his back, his large size was great at keeping animals away, and unfortunately it seemed to be keeping Digimon away too.
"Anything yet?" Emily asked lying back on Monochromon's back.
"No nothing," Sean said looking at the radar of his Digivice. "Aside from our own Digimon there's nothing here."
Emily groaned. "Great just great, you know I came here to get away from the boredom, not to find a different form of it. This is just great riding on a smelly dinosaur's back in a damp hot rainforest."
"You had to volunteer her to come with us didn't you?" Sean said quietly to me.
"If we hadn't brought her you'd be cat food," I reminded. "She saved your life."
"She didn't her Digimon did."
"Yeah, but she's the one her told Blackgatomon to attack in the first place."
"That still doesn't make up for what she's done."
"We gave Andrew another chance," I said. "Why not her?"
"We've said it a million times," Sean said. "Andrew thought the whole thing was a video game, he was trying to play his role, I didn't want to accept it at first but he's not really that bad a guy, but Emily knew that this was real, she knew she was hurting real living beings."
"You said it yourself," I said. "You didn't want to accept it at first, we didn't trust Andrew at first, all of us were hesitant to trust him, but he ended up being a nice guy, Emily could be the same way, it's just going to take more time."
"Why are you defending her anyway?" Sean snapped.
"I - uh." I stuttered.
"Oh my God you've got a crush on her don't you?"
"Quiet!" I said. "She's right there."
"You do! Don't you, otherwise you wouldn't have hesitated when I asked you why you were defending her, and you told me to be quiet."
"I told you to be quiet because if she heard you say that she'd kick both our asses, and I defended her - I defender her because - I just did okay!"
"You defended her because you like her," Sean said now in a teasing kind of voice.
"Just shut up," I said still trying to be quiet.
He was right though; as much as I didn't really want to admit it I did like her. I didn't like her during the war when she was the Digimon Empress I hated her! She did horrible things, and at that point she disgusted me. Then when she was revived, and I saw her not as the Digimon Empress, but as Emily I don't know I just kind of had this feeling. I refused to accept it at first, but then as Andrew dragged her to hang out with us I realized she wasn't all that bad, she even had the potential to be nice…at times, and if I might add wasn't that bad looking either.
"Hey guys," Monochromon said snapping me out of my thoughts. "You might want to check your Digivices again, I smell something, a Digimon."
Sean already had his Digivice out and immediately glanced down at the screen.
"He's right," Sean said. "There's a Digimon approaching us as we speak."
"It's about time," Emily said shooting from her lying position.
Monochromon froze in place waiting for the Digimon to appear, but as he stopped the thunderous footsteps he created didn't.
"It doesn't sound like that small of a Digimon either," Tapirmon said.
I watched as two trees fell to the ground, stomped down by the Digimon the six of us were now looking at. Like Monochromon it was a dinosaur Digimon. He resembled a Brachiosaurus, and his colouring was exactly the same as Greymon's orange with blue stripes, and had a large horn on the top of his head.
"It's a Brachiomon," Emily said. "I recognize it because a Brachiomon was the first Ultimate Andrew and I tried to enslave."
"That's probably not going to help us much," Sean said.
The Brachiomon didn't stop when he saw us he continued to charge through the jungle straight at us, Monochromon responded immediately and moved out of the way, but Brachiomon didn't continue to plow through the jungle like we'd expected, he stopped and turned around and charged at us again.
"Volcanic strike!" Monochromon yelled firing several fireballs from his mouth, which exploded in Brachiomon's face. The attack didn't seem to faze him though; the giant dinosaur Digimon just plowed on through tackling Monochromon and tossing him aside while the rest of us flew in various directions. I got up from my landing place in the dirt and after making sure everyone was okay turned my attention to my Digimon as he slowly got up after being trampled by Brachiomon, and the two were now facing each other down.
"Monochromon! He's an Ultimate Digimon, you have to Digivolve."
"No problem," Monochromon said. "I just need that crest."
I began to reach for my crest when a small voice suddenly echoed throughout the area and stopped me.
"Blazing ice!" a voice yelled as dozens of icicles landed on Brachiomon's face.
It hadn't hurt Brachiomon in the least, but it had turned his attention away from us, and to the top of a nearby tree where a small brownish red floppy eared rabbit Digimon stood.
"Nice shot Lopmon," a kid approximately our age said as he leaned against the tree that the Digimon whose name I assumed was Lopmon stood at the top of.
"Who's that?" Emily asked. "And why does he have a Digimon?"
"Oops," Sean said. "I knew I forgot something."
"What?" Emily yelled. "What the hell did you forget?"
"Nothing too important," Sean said weakly, I just forgot to tell you that about an hour ago Kris sent us an e-mail that said there were other Digidestined around the world, and that we should keep a look out for Digidestined in Brazil, he's probably one of them."
Emily didn't have time to get angry Brachiomon attacked first.
"Brachio bubble!" firing energy bubble from his mouth at Lopmon.
Lopmon was very quick and easily jumped out of the way extending his giant ears and glided to another tree.
"That was pathetic," Lopmon said. "You're really slow you know."
"Brachio bubble!" Brachiomon yelled firing another attack.
Lopmon easily dodged that attack too in the same manner, only to dodge a third one just as easily dodging from tree to tree. He was actually laughing while he did.
"Come on you can do better than that." Lopmon teased as he landed on the top of a tree. This tree was too small to support him and bent down as he landed on it.
Brachiomon had finally gotten fed up with firing his attack and simply charged Lopmon, but as the monstrous dinosaur Digimon approached Lopmon, the small rookie Digimon hopped off the bent over tree which shot upwards hitting Brachiomon right in the head sending the Brachiomon toppling over.
"Wow," I said. "That rookie just took out an Ultimate single handed."
"I wouldn't say he took him out," Emily said. "Brachiomon are tough, I would know one almost defeated Ladydevimon when I was the Digimon Empress, he'll be getting up pretty soon."
"Then let's make sure he doesn't do it here," I said. "Sean, toss me that laptop."
Sean did as I asked and tossed me the laptop, and I held my Digivice up to the screen.
"Digiport open!" I said as a bright light shot out of the computer thus opening the Digiport.
I held the Digiport up to the weakened Ultimate Digimon who was about to get up and sucked him into the Digiport.
"Hey!" Lopmon's partner yelled running up to us. "What did you do to him? Lopmon and I were just trying to stop him from destroying the rainforest we didn't want to kill him!"
"Calm down buddy," Emily said. "He didn't kill him all he did was send him back to the Digital World through a Digiport. "Oh, okay sorry about that, by the way, I'm Travis and this is my Digimon Lopmon."
"I'm Sean," Sean said stepping up. "This is my partner Tapirmon, Rob and his Digimon Monochromon, and miss personality here is Emily, and her partner Blackgatomon."
"That was a nice fight you had there," I said. "I'd never seen a rookie fight like that before, especially against an Ultimate."
"Thanks," Travis said. "Lopmon and I learned along time ago not to rely on pure power that a higher level gives, it's better to use your brain."
"And it's not hard to use your brain when your opponent has one the size of a walnut," Lopmon said jumping onto Travis's head.
'That may be true," Emily said. "But you can't rely on brains all the time, power is also necessary, you may have outsmarted Brachiomon for a second, but that would only have taken you so far, he was about ready to get up again. Then where would your pathetic little rabbit have been if we hadn't stepped in?"
"We would have figured something out," Travis said.
"Simple," Lopmon said. "I would have just Digivolved."
"You'd only be a Champion," Emily said coldly. "You'd still be no match against an Ultimate."
"Does this girl ever let up?" Lopmon asked.
"Sadly no," Tapirmon answered as he received a death glare from Emily.
"You guys might want to stop arguing for a second," Monochromon said. "Because I smell another Digimon coming."
"It must be that Jagamon!" Lopmon yelled.
"A what?" Blackgatomon asked.
"A Jagamon," Travis said. "It's a rock sheep Digimon. It's the whole reason we're in the rainforest in the first place, we noticed one run into the rainforest and we thought it was a little weird that there was a Digimon in the real world so we chased it into the rainforest. We were looking for it when we heard your fight and decided we'd help. We assume you guys are here to do the same thing, except you seem to know what your doing."
I nodded. "Yeah, these Digimon stumbled into our world by accident we're here to send them back."
"Here he comes!" Monochromon yelled interrupting me.
No sooner had those words come out of his mouth than a rock covered Digimon emerged from the forest. It was running full speed straight at Travis and Lopmon with no sign of stopping. Monochromon moved quickly picking them both up in his mouth and pulling them out of harms way as Jagamon continued to plow forward without any sign of stopping him.
"Blackgatomon," Emily said almost coldly. "Don't let him get away."
Blackgatomon gave a swift nod as she jumped into the air.
"Cat's eye hypnosis!" Blackgatomon yelled firing two energy beams from her eyes, which crashed right in front of Jagamon.
It didn't hit but it did scare the Jagamon who immediately turned in the opposite direction.
"Tapirmon!" Sean yelled.
"Tapirmon Digivolved to…………..Apemon!"
Apemon emerged from the light immediately and jumped in front of the stampeding Jagamon, stopping him with his bone. Jagamon didn't even try to fight back he immediately turned and started running, only to be stopped by Blackgatomon, he tried running a third direction but again he was stopped as Monochromon stepped in his way. Jagamon didn't look like he wanted to fight at all, he was timid, he just wanted to get away he just wanted to get home, good thing that's exactly what we were going to do, all he needed to do was stand still. He still had one way to go there was one final gap to his right, he had just noticed.
"Lopmon stop him!" Travis commanded.
Lopmon nodded, as a bright light emerged from the first model Digivice on his waist activated.
"Lopmon Digivolved to……………Turueimon!"
Lopmon's Champion form reacted the same way that Apemon had jumping into the final gap with all four Digimon surrounding Jagamon now. Turueimon looked similar to his rookie form, he stood about the average height of an adult human, he had large ears like Lopmon, he wore an orange jumpsuit, and a blue scarf. On his wrists were two wrists blades, which at the moment were retracted at the moment, but could be used as weapons if brought out.
Jagamon began to crouch down, looking extremely scared, despite that he was an Ultimate while the others were only Champions. I maneuvered my way between Monochromon and Blackgatomon and slowly approached the very scared Jagamon.
"It's okay little guy," I said approaching the timid sheep Digimon. "We're here to help, we're sending you home."
He only backed off more as I approached.
"Rob hurry!" Sean said, he was looking closely at his Digivice. "There's about a dozen more Digimon heading this way, and coming pretty quickly too. Wrap this up already."
I acted quickly, and held the computer up to Jagamon and sucked him into the Digiport.
"Okay let's go!" Monochromon said. "Hop on quick."
"Run?" Emily said. "I am not going to run. I don't see any reason why we don't stay and fight."
"Because we'd get pummeled." Monochromon said. "I can tell by the scent that that's a Jagamon stamped! A Jagamon stampede is extremely dangerous, Mega Digimon have been caught in them and killed instantly."
"There's only a dozen of them, besides you saw the way that other one reacted, it was scared of Champion Digimon why won't they be?"
"Because they're in a group," Travis said. "Alone Jagamon are very timid, but in a group and their stampeding they never stop until they feel for sure that whatever they're running from can't get to them anymore."
"That only makes it worse," Sean said. "Most likely they're afraid because they're in a different world than they're own, and are confused, they're not going to stop running until they get back home."
"And the only way they're going to get back home is if we fight them!" Emily yelled. "I didn't come here just to run away, like a coward!"
"We can't send them back if we're dead!"
This didn't look like it was going anywhere, Emily was very persistent, which for some reason was one of the reason I was so attracted to her, and Sean had the crest of persistence, this fight wasn't going to die down anytime soon, it definitely wasn't a good time for the fight of the century.
"You guys, stop it!" I yelled. "If you keep fighting we're just going to -"
"Turueimon!" Travis interrupted. "Move now!"
"Gargo laser!" a voice similar to Turueimon's yelled as dozens of small laser beams shot out of the rainforest aimed straight at Turueimon, but thanks to Travis's warning he was able to dodge the lasers with great ease, he quickly detracted his wrist mounted blades.
"Blackgargomon!" Turueimon yelled. "I know it's you and Roy out there."
"Good guess," a boy who I assumed was Roy immerged from the dense forest along with a Digimon who also looked very similar to Lopmon and Turueimon who must have been his partner Blackgargomon. "But I bet Blackgargomon yelling out his attack like that kind of gave it away."
"They're getting closer!" Monochromon warned.
"Roy, this is not the time!" Travis yelled.
"What are you scared?" Roy asked. "Afraid Blackgargomon and I will embarrass you and Turueimon in front of your new friends."
"It's not that, there's a huge stampede of Jagamon heading right for this location, and you know how dangerous they are in large groups!"
"Yeah sure," Roy said. "You just don't want to fight, where's your proof?"
Suddenly the ground began to shake and not too far away trees could be heard snapping and falling to the ground.
"That proof enough for you!" Travis yelled.
"We have to go now!" Monochromon yelled. "And I can't run fast enough to escape all of them, but I do know who can."
I nodded showing I knew what my Digimon was talking about. "Triceramon."
"Monochromon Digivolved to……………..Triceramon!"
"Let's go!" Triceramon boomed breaking into a run.
He lowered his head as he ran by me and I quickly hopped on leaning against his smallest horn. Triceramon's tail swept over Emily, Blackgatomon, Sean and Apemon and placed them onto his back, while he grabbed Blackgargomon and Roy under one of his arms and Turueimon and Travis under the other, and commenced running at full speed.
The Jagamon stampede was now in clear few and had just trampled the small clearing we had just escaped from, and were still running ahead with no sign of tiring out and/or stopping.
"Hurry up dinosaur boy!" Emily yelled. "They're getting closer!"
"I'm running as fast as I can," Triceramon said.
"It's not fast enough," Emily ordered. "See if we just stayed and fought instead of running we wouldn't be in this mess."
"True," Sean said. "But only because we'd be dead!"
"We may have to fight," Triceramon said. "Because they're gaining quick, and I don't know how long I can keep up this pace."
We continued to run for a while but Triceramon was right, the longer we ran the slower he was going, he was fast but the Jagamon were faster, any second now we'd be thrown into the stampede. Okay, I was the perceptive one I was supposed to be the one to help figure a way out of this. Okay simple running wasn't going to work, and it was way to risky to have them simply run into the Digiport if even one of them didn't go through I could get trampled, so our only option was to somehow find a way to escape the stampede. Now the Jagamon we'd encountered earlier seemed dead set on going in one direction, they only reason he turned around was because Blackgatomon had threatened him, threatening them wasn't going to work because they were in a large group, and they had confidence and wouldn't run away when they were in a large group. So we'd just have to find a way out of their apt, and not just veering off it too, because there was still the danger of all the falling trees they were knocking over and all the rocks they were kicking up, we also needed shelter.
My eyes darted around our surroundings, looking for any kind of decent shelter something like - a cave! Which is exactly what I saw, just to the side, it looked like a fairly big one too, possible a home for bats, Triceramon could fit in it and then some.
"Triceramon veer left," I instructed my Digimon. "Into that cave."
Triceramon quickly glanced in the direction I was pointing, and turned as soon as he saw his destination.
"Now we'll just stay in that cave until the Jagamon have cleared out," I said. "Then we can think of some way to send them through the Digiport without getting trampled."
"One problem with that plan." Roy said. "I'd look behind us."
I took a quick glance behind us, which soon changed into a stare of horror. The Jagamon hadn't continued to go in the direction they were before they had veered left and were following us towards the cave.
"What the hell?" Emily yelled. "This doesn't make sense, when Jagamon stampede they don't pursue, they just run in a desperate panic."
I smacked myself in the forehead. "I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I see this? They're running in our direction for a reason, the same reason they're stampeding in the first place. They want to go home, and they're in a panic to do so, they saw Triceramon and identified him as a fellow Digimon, and because he's familiar they think he might be able to lead them back home, but they're too scared to realize that they're just going to end up trampling him along with the rest of us, Triceramon you better forget about the cave."
"No," Triceramon said.
"What? Triceramon it's probably a dead end going into the cave would trap us."
"For a while," Triceramon said. "But it'll also keep us safe. Tri horn attack!"
As we neared the cave Triceramon fired his attack knocking loose a boulder higher on the cliff where the cave was, he disobeyed my order and ran straight into the cave, no sooner than we were in than the boulder that Triceramon had knocked loose fell in front of the entrance to the cave blocking us in, but at the same time keeping the Jagamon out.
"Nice one," I complimented.
There was tons of banging on the rock coming from outside, the Jagamon were trying to get in. Triceramon stopped running and placed our new friends in his arm down and allowing the rest of us to slide down to the ground and off of his back.
Emily looked closely at the rock and said. "Yeah nice one, yeah it keeps the Jagamon out but how are we supposed to get out?"
"That's easy," Triceramon said. "I can move that thing easily. All we have to do is wait for the Jagamon to give up then I can move it and we're out."
"They're not going to give up," Apemon said. "Jagamon don't stop until they feel they're safe, they'll keep chipping away at that rock until they're in, and they're Ultimate Digimon. I can tell already that it won't take them very long to do it, I'd give them five minutes tops."
"Great, just great!" Emily groaned. "We're out of the frying pan and into the fire, nice plan you two."
"Forget them," Roy said. "Blackgargomon and I will handle them when they get here, first we're ending this first rivalry, take him Blackgargomon."
Turueimon prepared his blades as the two Digimon faced each other down.
"Fine," Travis said. "If you want a fight you'll get it."
"Guys this isn't exactly the best time to fight," I said. "We should be concentrate on them and not on fighting each other."
"You don't understand," Travis said. "Two years ago when Roy and I got our Digimon we both got Lopmon, and we've had this rivalry ever since to see who's Digimon was stronger, it only got more extreme when our Digimon Digivolved and we argued which one was better, none of us really won the fight."
The noises on the other side of the boulder only got louder, and more began to crumble.
"A friendly rivalry is fine," I said. "It's gives you Digimon a lot of battle experience, but right now isn't exactly the time."
"You don't understand how deep this rivalry is, nothing is going to stop this fight."
Suddenly the top of the boulder crumbled the Jagamon could now be clearly seen desperately trying to get in, and the rest of the boulder was crumbling fast.
"Or maybe it could," Roy said.
"You're right," Travis said. "I guess you could stop for a while and fight together."
Blackgargomon and Turueimon responded to their partners and lined up in front of the door weapons forward.
"It's about time we get to fight," Emily said nodding giving Blackgatomon the go ahead, and she lined up with the pair of rabbit Digimon.
"All of us will," I said. "Triceramon."
Triceramon obeyed, and stepped behind the three Digimon.
"Sean?" Apemon said. "Should I Digivolve and help too?"
Sean shook his head. "No, dedigivolve, then Digivolve."
"What?" Roy said. "What would be the point of that?"
I smiled understanding perfectly what Sean was talking about. "You'll see in a second."
Tapirmon too understood what Sean meant and immediately dedigivolved as Sean reached for his waist grabbing his crest and Digivice. "Now I suggest that all of you stand back because this next Digivolution is going to take up a lot of space."
"What is he talking about?" Blackgargomon asked. "Apemon isn't that big."
"He's not talking about Apemon," Triceramon said beginning to move to the back of the cave, the rest of us did the same, while our Brazilian friends were still confused to what was happening, as soon as we were in position Sean's crest and Digivice activated.
"Tapirmon Warp Digivolved to……………………Skullmammothmon!"
Sean was wise to have us stand back. Skullmammothmon was way to big to fit in the cave, and as the monstrous elephant like Digimon emerged he burst through the roof of the cave tossing the rock hard roof of the cave and the rest of the cliff aside like it was paper fully emerged from the cave and looming over the Jagamon stampede.
"Whoa!" Roy said in awe.
"A Mega Digimon." Travis said with the shame-shocked look on his face that Roy, Turueimon, and Blackgargomon had.
The Jagamon stampede were no longer dedicated to stampeding towards us, they now stood there in fear as they saw the giant Mega Digimon that loomed over them. It didn't take them long at all to turn around and run away as fast as possible, but Skullmammothmon wasn't about to let them run away. He jumped into the air sailing over the entire stampede landing right in front of them and stopping them from escaping. The Jagamon only turned and started running the opposite direction, but Skullmammothmon only jumped over them a second time and stopped them from escaping again.
"Okay let's stop this," Skullmammothmon said. "I won't hurt you, if you just stop panicking we can send you home."
They didn't listen they only started to run in the opposite direction yet again. Skullmammothmon sighed jumped over them and stopped them from running, but apparently not getting the pattern they only turned and ran again, but as usual they were stopped.
"Okay this is getting seriously annoying!" Emily yelled. "I know how to make them stop."
As the Jagamon turned around again Emily broke into a run and to my utter horror she ran right in front of the stampede.
"Emily NO!" I yelled starting to run towards her, I had to get her out of the way now there was no way I was going to let her get hurt - I - I cared way too much for her. I would have made it too if Triceramon hadn't picked me up.
"Let me go!" I screamed. "I have to help her."
"You can't help her," Triceramon said. "You'll just get hurt."
"Stop right now!!!" Emily yelled at the Jagamon stampeding straight towards her, and to absolutely everyone's surprise they actually did, and they looked even more afraid of her than they had been of Skullmammothmon.
"It's the - the Digimon Empress," one of them stuttered.
"Very nice observation!" Emily said coldly. "Now you're starting really annoy me! See that computer that kid has over there, now I want you all to walk into it where you can go home, and if you don't I'll have myself a dozen more slaves."
All dozen or so Jagamon nodded and slowly without taking their eyes off of Emily made there way over to me. I held up the glowing laptop and the Digiport and without the least bit of trouble they obeyed Emily and hopped right into it all twelve of them, as the last one entered the Digiport I shut it.
"Got'em," I said.
"And I believe that's all of them," Sean said looking at his radar screen, he had it in the longest range possible and there wasn't a stray Digimon in sight, all were accounted for and in the Digiport.
"How long do you think it'll be until Kris and Jenn get here to pick us up?" Triceramon asked.
"I have no idea," I answered.
"Well in the meantime you can watch the Digimon fight of the century." Travis said as Turueimon and Blackgargomon lined up in fighting stance.
"Not so fast," Blackgatomon said jumping between the two.
Emily slowly approached the edge of what looked like the battlefield. "Blackgatomon and I want in on this, I'm sure we can take both of you on."
"Uh this is supposed to be a one on one fight," Roy said, no sooner did he say that than Emily shot him a death glare. "But if you're want you're free to join in, there's no way I'd be dumb enough to argue with a girl that stopped a Jagamon stampede."
Emily grinned, not an evil smile but a really cute one that I found myself extremely attracted too. God I wished I could be with her. I was even more attracted to her now after seeing how she stopped the stampede, I'm not sure why but I found myself growing to like her even more after everything she did. I managed to shake my head and come out of my haze as I stared at Emily's beautiful face, and watched as the three Digimon began their friendly battle.

There it is the last interactive Chapter, but don't worry it's not the last time you'll see the international Digidestined of this fic, I promise you'll see them all again, though they probably won't play that important a role, and also another warning the next Chapter will be another lemon, if you don't like it tell me and maybe MAYBE I'll dum it down a bit and make it more of a soft lime, but if you do want a lemon tell me and I'll leave it the way it is, but I'm not going to tell you who the lemon is between it's going to be a surprise, there are three potential couples now.
