Chapter 4
"Well, what do you want to do now, John?" asked Agumon.
"I'm not sure." John glanced at his watch. "Oh no, it 6:00!!!!"
"What's wrong?" asked Gabumon.
"What's wrong? I'm supposed to be home right now, and when my mom gets home from work and doesn't find me there, she'll freak!!! I have to get back home!" John turned and ran into the forest.
"Hey! Wait for us, John!" yelled Agumon. Agumon and Gabumon ran after him.
The Shadow watched as the three ran into the forest. "He wants to go home, does he? Well, we can't let that happen, now can we?" The Shadow chuckled to himself as he waked deeper into the forest and disappeared into the shadows.
John, Agumon, and Gabumon stumbled out of the forest, out of breath. "Why didn't you wait for us, John?" asked Gabumon.
"Ya! We don't have long legs like some people," said Agumon.
" Sorry guys. I thought you guys were behind me," said John. "Well, where are we?" John scanned the area. "Hey, that cave looks familiar." John paused to think. "Wait, I remember now. That's the cave were I found this." John pulled out his digivice and turned towards Agumon and Gabumon, who were resting by a nearby tree. "Do you guys know what this is?"
"Nope. Never seen it," answered Gabumon.
"Wait, I think I seen one before," said Agumon. "Ya, I have! A group of humans that came to our village had something like that. They called it a digivice"
"A digivice, hu?" John nodded and turned back towards the cave, then suddenly stopped. He turned around and ran back to Agumon "Wait, did you say humans? Here?" asked John, surprised. "Where they my age?"
"No," answered Agumon, "they were smaller than you."
"Do you know where they came from?"
Just as Agumon was going to answer, the ground shook violently. "What's going on?" yelled John. Suddenly, there was a loud crash behind them, coming from the forest. They quickly turned around. "OH NO!!!!!" screamed John. Behind them, a herd of Montacromon were making their way through the forest, straight at them. "We have to get out of here, now!" said John.
"No, we want to fight," said Agumon.
"Ya," seconded Gabumon.
"No! There is no way you can stop them all!" yelled John. Suddenly, one of the Montacromon burst from the heard, head straight for Agumon and Gabumon. "Blue Blaster!!" "Pepper Breath!!"
The attacks hit head on, but had no effect on Montacromon. It continued to charge forward and slammed into Agumon and Gabumon. They flew backwards, landing hard on the ground. "No!!" yelled John, as he ran to his new friends. "Are you guys OK?"
Agumon tried to get up. "Of course.." But as he tried to get up, he fell back to the ground. "Well, maybe not."
"We have to get out of here," said John. John turned around. "Climb onto my back." Agumon climbed on to John's back. John picked up Gabumon, who grabbed onto John's neck. The Montacromon that plowed through Agumon and Gabumon turned back towards them, ready to attack. Just then, the rest of its heard burst from the forest. John turned towards the cave. "Our only hope is to make it to the cave." He turned around, and saw that the Montacromon were drawing closer. He turned back towards the cave, and started to run. He ran as fast as he could, knowing that his life and the lives of his friends were at stake. He ran with every fiber of his being.
"You can do it, John!" said Agumon.
"We believe in you!" said Gabumon. Now John was a few feet away from the cave's entrance, with the Montacromon at his heels.
"Well, here goes nothing!" John thought to himself. He took one last step, then jumped towards the entrance of the cave. Just then, one of the Montacromon fired an attack at them. John though it was over. Suddenly, a bright light surrounded them. And they disappeared from the cave's entrance. The Shadow watched from the forest.
"Drat, they got away!! And I was so close. If it wasn't for those stupid Montacromon, I would have finished them. Well, no matter. They will return, and next time, I will finish them." The Shadow receded into the dark forest, conjuring a new plan.
John awoke in his bed with a start. "What? Where am I?" He looked around his room, and relaxed. "I'm home." John was happy to be back, but then a sudden dread came over him. "But what happened to Agumon and Gabumon? Did they make it?" He looked for them, but he couldn't find them. "Maybe it was just a dream..."
A voice came from under John's bed. "I already told you, it's not a dream!"
"Gabumon?" John dropped to the floor and looked under the bed.
"Nope, but you were close." Tsunomon jumped onto John's bed.
"Tsunomon!!" shouted John, giving Tsunomon a hug. "I thought I lost you. But were Agumon?"
"I'm over here," called Koromon, who was sitting at the head of the bed. "But I'm not Agumon anymore, I'm Koromon again."
"That doesn't matter. All that matter is that you guys are OK. I thought I lost you guys" John was ready to cry, but just then, John's Mom walked into his room.
"Oh John, you're home," said his mom.
"Ya," answered John, hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" asked John's mom, as she walked into the room.
John jumps up, startled. "Nothing. Just a little tired." He quickly moved in front of Koromon and Tsunomon.
"Oh, Ok. Just to tell you, supper will be ready in an hour. Be ready." She started to walk out of the room. Just as John started to relax, she turned back to him. "What are those?" she said, pointing towards Tsunomon and Koromon. Tsunomon and Koromon froze, staying as still as possible. John, Tsunomon, and Koromon gave each other a worried look.
"Oh, you mean these?" said John, pointing to Koromon and Tsunomon. "Well...um," said John as he tried to come up with an excuse. "O ya, they're some stuffed animals that I found at the mall. I bought them for Rachel's Birthday." Rachel was John's girlfriend.
"Oh that's nice. You better hide them so your brother doesn't get to them."
"OK mom."
As John's mom walked out of the room, John, Tsunomon, and Koromon gave a sigh of relief. "That was close," said John. "We have to be careful. We almost got caught."
"Not problem," said Koromon. "No one will know we are here."
"That's right," agreed Tsunomon .
"OK, guys."
"John, Rachel's on the phone"
"OK Mom!" called John. "Guys, I'll be right back, but when I do, I'll help you guys find a place to hid in here. OK?"
"OK!" Tsunomon and Koromon answered in unison.
"John, she's waiting!"
"All right, MOM!! I'm coming." John ran out of his room.
"Koromon, do you think we'll be OK?" said Tsunomon.
"Sure we will. John will take good care of us, and we'll take good care of him. Everything will be fine," answered Koromon.
"I hope your right," said Tsunomon.
As always, tell me what you think. R&R! PLEASE!!! I NEED THE INPUT!!!
"Well, what do you want to do now, John?" asked Agumon.
"I'm not sure." John glanced at his watch. "Oh no, it 6:00!!!!"
"What's wrong?" asked Gabumon.
"What's wrong? I'm supposed to be home right now, and when my mom gets home from work and doesn't find me there, she'll freak!!! I have to get back home!" John turned and ran into the forest.
