Disclaimer: Hope this uploads right. I don't own Digimon. This has Daikari, Kenyako, and who knows what else. How is this series going? I hope its entertaining lots of people. Now on with the story.
Micheal here. Last time, after we got knocked off of a cliff by a certain Digimon named Kuwagamon, then we were saved by this seal Digimon named Gomamon. Oddly enough, he said that he had asked his fish friends to save us. We rested on a beach, and tried calling home, which didn't work, and then we got attacked by this crazy thing called Shellmon. We were in real trouble, until Davis managed to get Veemon digivolve to X-Veemon. X-Veemon disposed of Shellmon, and then we decided to head inland to rest for the night.
"Seadramon"
"So what should we do now?" Ken asked as the group of 8 lingered on the beach.
"We should get out of here, in case that Shellmon comes back here!!!" Yolei screamed, glomping onto Ken.
"Don't worry, if he comes back, Veemon here will just digivolve to X-Veemon, and X-Laser his butt again!" Davis shouted, striking a pose.
He was distracted by a tiny tug from Veemon. "Uh Davis, I don't think I can digivolve again. I need more food."
Davis deflated when he heard that. "Well, then I guess we should get out of here just in case.
The group started to head out toward the cliffs, looking a place where they could climb the cliffs. Eventually they managed to get up.
"Okay, now what?" asked TK as they looked around.
Before they could decide what they should do, a large gray monster, looking like a cross between a triceratops and a rhinoceros came out of the bushes and roared.
"Don't worry, that's just Monochromon. He's usually a pretty nice guy, but don't get him mad, or he'll attack you with his Volcanic Strike," explained Betamon.
"Um, no offense, Betamon, but he doesn't look that nice," Micheal said fearfully as he slowly backed away from Monochromon.
Everybody else agreed with Micheal and started moving backwards, but Monochromon kept advancing. Their problems doubled when another Monochromon came out of the bushes behind them and roared.
"Ahhhh!!!! Where did ze zecond Monochromon come from?!?" screamed Catherine as they realized they were boxed in.
"Uh, Ken, any ideas?" asked Davis as he picked up Veemon.
"Uh, I believe that the best thing to do now would be to pick up our Digimon, scream our heads off, and then run for our lives," answered Ken. Following his own advice, Ken picked up the slow Wormmon, and got ready to run.
"That's the smartest thing you've said all day Ken." Davis cleared his throat, and then screamed his head off, clutched Veemon tighter, and ran for his life, with everyone else behind them.
Just in time too. The 2 Monochromon charged and rammed right into each other. Fortunately, the two Digimon were too busy fighting each other, so both forgot about the group of wayward kids.
***
"Are we there yet?" Yolei whined as she dragged along slightly behind the rest of the group.
After they had escaped the 2 Monochromon, they had decided to head inland to attempt to find shelter. Now that they had a little time to fully realize their situation, despair started to affect some of the group. Yolei was wishing that she was now at home, nice and warm in her bed, watching TV. TK wished that he had brought a basketball to school, and didn't like how Davis was structing about. Davis actually seemed happy to be stuck in a strange world with only a limited supply of food. To him, it was just like some anime adventure, and he was the hero.
Kari was quietly talking with Gatomon, asking her questions about the island. Cody was walking along, thinking about something while Armadillomon happily followed right behind. Micheal and Catherine were talking to Ken in English, since he had said he wanted more practice.
"Hey, what's that up ahead?" Davis asked as he squinted against the setting sun and saw something on a small island up ahead.
"That thing?" Veemon asked as he caught up to his partner. "That thing has always been there. We have no idea what it does, but it sure looks neat."
"Odd, that looks like a cable car, like the type they use in San Francisco," Ken commented.
"Yeah, I went there once and saw a ton of them," Micheal confirmed as he looked at the distant cable car.
"Zhen again, what waz a telephone booth doing on the beach?" Catherine asked.
"Good point."
"It is getting dark, so maybe we should stay inside the cable car for the night," suggested Cody. "We saw a bunch of monsters during the day, who knows how many there are during the night?"
"Cody's right, we need to find shelter, and that cable car is as good a place as any," TK said as he started marching forward. "Everybody, follow me!"
"Hey, who died and made you the leader, TA?" Davis shouted at his rival as they started toward the island.
"What? You think you should be the leader? You can't even remember how to say two letters?" TK shouted back. "Obviously, your mental capacity isn't very large!"
"What does my mental capcity have to do with being leader? Besides, I'm the leader of the soccer team, TC!"
"For the last time that's TK..."
Everybody else sweatdropped and sighed as Davis and TK continued bickering the whole way.
Nobody noticed the red eyes watched them from the bushes as they walked by. The hunter gave a feral, canine grin. Finally, worthy prey. Tonight would be good hunting.

Yolei plopped down onto one of the seats, and then sighed. She powered up her laptop, pulled out a cord from the side and attached it to her Digivice.
"What are you doing Yolei?" Cody asked his best friend as he jumped up on to the seat next to her.
"I'm going to find out what these Digivices can do," Yolei answered confidently as she booted up a program and started analyzing the inner workings of the Digivice.
"Hey, can I play Donkey Madness on this thing?" Davis jumped into the conversation as he randomly pressed buttons on his Digivice.
"Grrrrr! Davis, for once, can't you just be quiet and let me work?" Yolei growled. Davis backed off as he heard her tone. That meant that she was not in a good mood, and if he didn't get away from her, he would have one large hand print on his cheek.
Davis walked outside, and saw that the rest of the group was scattered around the small island.
Davis headed toward Ken, who was lying on his back and just staring at the stars.
"Hey, buddy, how you bearing up?"
Ken didn't look at him as he answered, "About as well as anyone could if they were plucked from a summer camp that was covered in snow in the middle of the summer, and then being dumped into a strange, digital place, and assigned a worm as a partner."
"Ah, come on, Ken. You're the smartest boy in the whole of Japan, except maybe for that Izzy Izumi kid at the local high school, and Wormmon's not that bad. Just wait till he digivolves and then he'll be awesome!"
Ken visualized the scene Davis had just described. Based on the fact that X-Veemon
bore a large resemblance to Veemon, the first thing that came to mind for a digivolved Wormmon was... a much larger worm. Who would take that seriously?
He shook those thoughts off. Then again, the worm had previously been a floating pinecone, so who knew what he turn into next?
Wormmon was currently lying on Ken's stomach, just hugging him.
"Oh Ken, I thought that I would never see you again..."
Ken's head jerked up at that. "What do you mean again? You seem familiar, but I don't know from where..."
Wormmon looked alarmed for a moment, and then he stammered out "I meant that I never wanted to be separated from you again."
Ken looked suspiciously at the insect Digimon for a moment, and then seeing that Wormmon had zipped his lips, he made a mental note to get the answer out of Wormmon later.
Davis sat down on the sand and stared up at the sky along with Ken. "You see any helpful contellations up there Ken?"
Ken was silent for a moment. "Davis, why do you do that?"
"Do what?" Davis asked, but there was a slight edge to his voice.
"Pretend to be dumber than you really are."
Davis sighed. Ken was one of the few people to really notice that his "dumb, soccer player" attitude was just an act, something to conceal his inner self. True, he wasn't an Einstein, but all of his grades were a B+, with an occasional A.
"Ken, you know that I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, right?"
Ken nodded.
"So, I really did act like this when I was younger. But then I started studying more, and then started to sound smarter too, but then... the teasing began.
"TK was one of the major people who did it, but he wasn't the only one. Yolei teased me a lot too. Only when I did sounded stupid, did they listen to me. Besides, the image of a stupid Davis is imprinted into everyone's minds. So I figured that I would just go with the flow."
Davis couldn't help but chuckle. "It has been fun at times, like shocking everyone else speechless with an intelligent comment, but still... I wish that I could be myself."
Wormmon looked over at Veemon. "Do you have any idea what they are talking about?"
The small dragon shook his head. "Not a clue."
"Ah ha! Perfecto!" shouted a loud voice that everyone on the mini island could easily hear.
"Um, Yolei, maybe you shouldn't shout so loud, we don't want to attract any wild Digimon," suggested Cody.
"Oh," Yolei immediately stopped shouting for joy. "Sorry," she whispered.
"Geez, Yolei, could you shout a little louder. I don't think all of the hungry Digimon heard you," shouted Davis from outside.
Yolei immediately jumped up. "I'm going to get you Davis Motomiya!"
Cody heard Davis yelp outside, then a scramble as he got up. Yolei ran outside, but Davis was already running away.
Cody sighed and decided to see what had made Yolei so happy. He sat down on the seat where Yolei have been previously, and brought up the program. Though he didn't know half as much about computers as his best friend, he could get around one.
As far as he could tell, these Digivices had three main functions: Digital, Detect, and Discover. But so far, the only thing that Yolei knew about these gadgets was that they somehow supplied power to the Digimon for digivolution.
"Hey Cody, so what do you think of these new D-3s?" asked a voice from behind him. Cody looked up and saw that Yolei was back, and was panting slightly. Fortunately for Davis, as a soccer athlete, he could run faster than Yolei, so he had escaped her wrath.
"D-3s?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, I dubbed them that since they have three main functions, Digital, Detect, and Discover. And look," Yolei pressed one of the buttons on the side, and a cluster of multicolored dots appeared on the screen. "All of these lights represent one of us, so that we'll always know where everyone else is."
But Yolei frowned for a moment, and attached her D-3 Digivice to her laptop again. "Unfortunately, I don't know the range for the tracking feature, so if we got really far apart, we might not be able to find each other again."
Yolei went back to trying to solve more of the mysteries of the Digivice.
***
Micheal and Betamon were exploring the shoreline looking for something. Micheal gulped when he saw a giant outline in the sand.
"Uh, Betamon, what's that?" he asked, pointing at the giant imprint in the sand.
"Oh that's just where Seadramon used to sleep," Betamon said, instantly shrugging it off.
Micheal didn't like the name Seadramon that much, but as long as he wasn't there anymore, that was enough for him.
He saw the pretty French girl, Catherine, chatting with her new partner.
"You speak French too?" he heard her ask Floramon.
"But of course," Floramon answered in French.
Micheal went over to her. "Are you okay Catherine?" he asked in English.
Catherine looked up, surprised to see anyone else. "I'm fine, Micheal."
Micheal nodded, and waited for her to say something. Though no one else knew, he had had a crush on Catherine for awhile, but hadn't said anything since it looked like something was going on between her and TK. The only person who suspected was Ken, who he was staying with while in Odaiba. He could've afforded to have his own apartment, because of his dad's job, but his dad had preferred that he didn't live alone.
"Zhis is all very strange," and Catherine waved all around her. "Zhis is zhe first time zhat I have been away from zhe city." She sighed and sat down. "Paris waz always so civilized, but zhis is, oddly enough, also enjoyable."
Micheal sat down beside her and patted her shoulder sympathetically. "Don't worry, Catherine, its okay. I'm sure that we'll find a city soon, and then we can stay indoors again."
Catherine smiled up at him. "Thank you, Micheal," she said.
"Oh, what a touching scene, too bad that I'm going to eat you all," said a mysterious voice.
Micheal and Catherine stiffened. "Uh, did you hear zhat, Micheal?" Catherine asked nervously.
"Yes, and I think that we should rejoin the group now," Micheal quickly got up and started pushing Catherine in front of him.
"Oh, it is much too late for that," said the mysterious voice again. "How disappointing. I thought that you would be worthy prey. But at least you'll make a small snack before I devour the rest of your group."
The voice still hadn't shown himself, and Micheal was glancing around, checking for hiding places.
"Catherine, when I say go, run, you got it?" Micheal whispered into her ear.
Catherine nodded, and tensed, waiting.
"Run!!"
Catherine sprinted as fast as she could back towards the trolley car, where the others were, when she noticed that Micheal wasn't folowing her.
The French girl stopped.
"Micheal, what are you doing?" she cried back.
Micheal was just standing there, waiting.
"You get back to the others and get help, I'll distract it!" Micheal shouted back.
"But Micheal-"
"Go!"
Catherine hesitated for a moment, and then started running again.
Micheal was still checking the landscape. There weren't any large rocks, so where was his attacker?
"How noble, sacrificing yourself for the girl," the voice continued. "But when somebody does something like that, it indicates something deeper. You like her, don't you?"
Micheal started. He had spotted a pair of red eyes in the sand about ten feet away.
"Hey, Betamon, you see those eyes over there?" Micheal whispered into his Digimon's ears. Micheal made sure that he wasn't looking in that particular area, but from the way Betamon's eyes flicked in that direction, he knew that Betamon understood.
"Okay, now's here the plan. When I shout now, you attack those eyes, and then we try to run back to the others, got it?"
"Got it!"
Micheal stood back up. He hoped that his stalker hadn't heard anything.
"I tire of this talk. I had hoped that you would at least have provided a decent chase, but still you so willing to get eaten, then I guess I should follow your wishes."
"If you want a fight, you've got it!" Micheal shouted defiantly. "Betamon, now!"
"Beta Slugger!" Betamon opened his mouth and fired a blast of water at the red eyes.
"Wha-" The attack connected and the creature roared as it rose out of the sand.
Micheal could see that it was a large white wolf, with blue strips, a long snout, and a blood-red eyes.
"You'll pay for that! Howling Blaster!" The wolf open his mouth and fired a blast of blue energy.
The fleeing Micheal and Betamon ducked, and the attack went over their heads, and flew off into the distance.
Micheal and Betamon looked up and saw the wolf running incredibly fast towards them. Before the duo could get up again, the wolf had leapt into the air, and was coming towards them, jaws open.
"Now I've got you!"
Micheal closed his eyes, and waited for the teeth to chomp down on him, when another female voice shouted "Rain of Pollen!"
The wolf reared back as the pollen got into his mouth, nose, and eyes. It started sneezing and howling in pain.
Micheal opened his eyes and saw Catherine and Floramon standing there.
"Catherine, I thought that I told you to go back to the others!" Micheal shouted half-angry as he got back up.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't leave you alone," she answered.
"You couldn't?" Micheal said, surprised, but he couldn't ask her more questions as he saw that the wolf was getting up again.
"Okay, forget the hunt, it is time to go straight for the kill. Howling Blaster!"
The wolf fired his attack again.
"Catherine, look out!" Micheal placed himself in front of Catherine, and took the full, cold brunt of the attack.
"Micheal!"
The attack sent both of them flying off the beach and into the ocean.
Catherine came up, gasping, and saw that Micheal was only half-conscious.
"Micheal, you've go to wake up, you've got to!"
The wolf was coming at them again. "Now to finish you off. Howling Blaster!"
Betamon jumped into the line of the attack. "No!!"
Micheal's dark green D-3 flared with power, as Betamon started glowing.
"Betamon digivolve to… Seadramon!"
The large sea serpent easily absorbed the attack as he landed in the water.
Micheal coughed up water, and then woke up to hear the words "Seadramon!" He looked up and saw the giant green sea serpent towering over him, and now it was slowly lowering towards them.
"Oh no, look out, its Seadramon, we've gotta get out of-"
"Relax, Micheal," said the sea dragon Digimon as its head was now level with them. "Its just me Betamon."
Micheal blinked. "Betamon? But, when you were talking about Seadramon earlier, I didn't know that you meant yourself."
"Don't be silly. I was talking about another Seadramon. Anyway, no time for explanations now, get onboard. Garurumon is not going to just take this lying down."
Micheal suddenly remembered the wolf and clambered onto Seadramon's head.
He reached down and offered a hand to Cahterine. "Come on, climb on."
Catherine looked cautiously at Seadramon. "Are you sure it is safe?"
"Don't worry, old Beta- I mean Seadramon, won't let us fall, right buddy?"
Seadramon tilted his head slightly which counted as a nod, and then Catherine slowly climbed with Micheal's help, with Floramon hanging onto Catherine's legs.
"Now, lets get going," Miecheal said once everyone was on Seadramon's head securely, "its payback time for that Garurumon. Go, Seadramon!"
***
"What the-" Davis exclaimed when he reached the other side of the island. "What's going on? Micheal, Catherine, where are you!?"
The rest of the group arrived right after Davis, just in time to see a giant green sea serpent rise out of the ocean.
"Incredible," breathed Ken. "Perhaps that large green monster is the source of all the legends of sea monsters in our world. It may even be a relative of the Loch Ness monster…" Ken trailed off as he pondered the possibilities.
The Digimon were all looking up at Ken strangely.
Ken shook his head. "Then again, maybe its just another Digimon."
"But don't worry," Veemon said, "he's one of ours. That's Seadramon, Betamon's champion form. He's one of the coolest Digimon around, with his Ice Blast and Ice Winder."
"But I hope that he can stand up to Garurumon," added Patamon. "That giant wolf is Garurumon, a Data Digimon. Most of the time, they're nice Digimon, but ever since this one appeared on File Island, he's been hunting other Digimon for dinner with his Howling Blaster."
The two Digimon flew towards each other, and collided head on- literally. Garurumon was knocked back, but the larger Seadramon managed to hold his ground, and used the oppurtunity to attack.
"Ice Winder!" Seadramon opened his mouth and fired out several ice crystals. Garurumon howled in pain as the crystals pierced his skin and wounded him.
The now raging wolf leapt towards Seadramons neck and his passengers, but Seadramon withdrew, swimming further out into the lake so that Garurumon couldnt reach them.
"You think that Im scared of a little water?" growled Garurumon. "Well, I'm not!" And with that Garurumon leapt into the water, and went paddling towards the sea serpent.
Seadramon again withdrew, and quickly got close to the island again. "Micheal, Catherine, Betamon, get off now! I dont want you getting hurt in the fight!"
The three nodded and quickly jumped off and onto the land and headed towards the main group again.
Now that Seadramon wasnt burdened down with his partner, he could really get into the fight.
***
"Hey, guys!" Micheal called as he and Catherine reached the group.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Kari.
Catherine nodded. "Zest a little waterlogged."
"You want Veemon to digivolve and help Seadramon?" asked Davis. Though he was concerned about their safety, he didnt mind the excite all that much- all getting the chance to see X-Veemon in action again.
Micheal shook his head. "I think that Seadramon can handle it. Besides, both of them are in the water now, and I dont think that X-Veemon can swim all that well."
"But I can fly," added Veemon.
:We should hold X-Veemon in reserve, in case Seadramon loses," suggested TK.
Davis glared at TK. "Dont order my Digimon partner around, TG."
"That's TK," the blond boy grumbled. He knew that Davis couldn't get his name right if his life depended on it, so it was pretty futile to complain about it, but he was still used to it.
"TKs right, Davis," Ken agreed. "So far, Veemon is the only other Digimon that can digivolve, so we should make sure that we dont lose 2 Digimon at once."
Davis grunted. "Okay, okay, I get the point. But I sure hope Seadramon is okay."
They all turned back to the battle.
***
Seadramon lunged at Garurumon, but Garurumon managed to get out of the way.
They were at a stalemate. Seadramon had the advantage in the water, but Garurumon always went back on land as soon as Seadramon dived underwater for a sneak attack.
Seadramon dived again, hoping to get the wolf while he was still in the water. But no such luck.
Garurumon quickly swam back to the beach, and waited for Seadramon to surface again.
Seadramon rose up, and the 2 Champions waited, staring at each other. It was a showdown.
"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon attacked first.
"Ice Blast!" Seadramon opened his mouth, and a huge ice crystal formed in there and he launched at Garurumon.
The crystal collided with the cold fire, and though part of it melted under the attack, most of it sped on towards it target.
It stabbed Garurumon deep in his side, and sent him flying off into the distance. Gradually, his howls faded away.
Seadramon shrunk until he was once again Betamon.
***
Garurumon slunk through the forest again, nursing his wounds.
"Just they wait, give me a few minutes, I'll go straight to my Mega form, and then they'll be sorry…"
"Sorry, but no can do buddy. We still need them."
"Huh?" The wolf looked up.
Above him in the trees was a brown Digimon, resembling a puppet, holding a large mallet. Though he looked almost innocent, there was a malicious expression on his face.
"What do you mean I can't have those Digidestined for dinner?" demanded Garurumon.
"We still need need them to serve their purpose, and then we can blow them to kingdom come."
"What purpose?" Garurumon was now growling softly.
"Geez, you've got to attend more staff meetings. Well, talk to your other little friends, then find out." The puppet gave a condescending smirk.
The wolf growled, and then in a flash of light was covered in blue metal, and lunged at the puppet. But the puppet swung his mallet, and the wolf Digimon fell to the ground again and shrunk to a smaller bipedal form.
The puppet smirk at the failed attack. "Uh huh, you shouldn't go attacking Mega Digimon stronger than yourself."
Gabumon ground his teeth. First getting beaten up by that new Champion, and now this.
"What do you we still need those kids for?" Gabumon demanded again.
The puppet smirk again. "Like I said, go find one of your friends. Tell the rest of your pack to also back off."
"Should I protect them to make sure that Devimon won't hurt them?" Gabumon said sarcastically.
"Nah, we want them to survive, and that means they've gotta digivolve, and for that they need danger. So let some of the wild and controlled Digimon threaten them."
"As you wish," growled Gabumon.
"Of course." The puppet smirked again, and then took his leave by swinging from branch to branch with his strings.
Gabumon slowly got up and trudged off, ready to strange his answers out of Gomamon's scrawny little neck.
***
"That was great, Betamon!"
"Do you think that I can do that someday?"
The group was gathered around the beaming Micheal and Betamon after their triumphant battle.
Catherine came over, and quickly leaned over and gave Micheal a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Moseiur (sp?) Micheal, for saving me," Cahterine said.
Micheal blushed at the attention. TK looked slightly miffed at that, but then shrugged.
Floramon, following her partner's example, leaned over and gave Betamon quick peck.
Betamon, also following his partner's example, blushed.
"Alright, now we've got 2 Digimon that can digivolve!" cheered Davis. "Now no one can stop us!"
"Uh, Davis," interjected Veemon, "there are lots and lots of Digimon that are already Champions, so we aren't all that powerful really."
Everybody laughed at Davis' mistake, but then he shrugged.
"Come on everybody, we should go to sleep, and then try to find a way home tomorrow," Ken suggested.
Everybody else agreed, so they all headed to the trolley car and eventually all fell asleep.
