Writer's Note: The Brakets, [], mean that Daggdramon is narrating instead of mya. Ok! Bye bye now.

Episode 6: Leveling UP!
Mya (With a few helpful hits from her mind mate, Daggdramon/Dordimon ect, ect, ect…)
The desert's now a whims worry in our trek to nowhere… [We're going somewhere Mya!] Sorry, our trek to nowhere in particular. [Thank You]. We are back in the forest, or at least a foresty type thingy. Some forest, a nice one, you know, nice temperature and all. It really is a nice forest…[Who cares?] Shut up, I'm telling the story, OK? [OK]…Anyway, we are resting you know, nice rest…[Uh…Mya]…OK, OK, I'll stop going on tangents. Anywho, I'm bored…Tai's arguing with Matt over some nonsense, Sora's telling the kids a story…Mimi's talking to Joe, go figure…and my furry comrade is…well you tell them…[chatting it up with the rest of the Digimon], Gabumon in particular. [So?] Nothing. As you can see, I have nothing to do. [Eavesdrop on Tai and Matt…they could be talking about who is cuter, you or Sora.] Shut up you…though…that is a good idea…oh OK. I crawl secretly over to Tai and Matt who don't notice me at all.
"We'll be killed!" Matt yells.
"But we've got to kill it!"
"We can't die in the process."
"Sacrifices have to be made." [Are you that somebody, tell me your that somebody]…Shut up!
"Oh yeah, who are we gonna sacrifice? Kari? T.K.?" [And we won't stop, we always knew we'd make it, even though your playa haten, we still made it to the top!] Shut UP!
"Well what do you say we do!?" [You need to give it up, had about enough, it's not hard to see]…grrrrrr…[the boy is]…Don't…[MINE!] GRRRRRRRR!
"SHUT UP!" I yell, you can see at what. I swear I can hear the sound effect for a slipped record.
"What?" Tai and Matt ask in unison, startled at my remark.
"Uh, um, I said, up…up…Level up! Yeah, LEVEL UP! I couldn't help myself. Hehehehe." [Oooooo, good one.] Don't you know what shut up means?
"Uh…yeah…and just what do you mean by that?" Tai asks dumbfounded. [Busted…HAHA!]
"Uh, well…"
"She means fight other enemies in order to raise the levels of our monsters." I turn my head to see no other than [IZZY!] I said shut up, damn.
"Yeah, exactly!" I say. Tai looks even more puzzled then before.
"She dropping video game science on ya, buddy."
"Yep!"
"Don't you play video games?"
"Oh, that's a stupid question to ask him." Matt mumbles under his breath.
"Yeah, do you?" [Mya, shut up.] Yeah, I should, shouldn't I?
"Well, yeah…but."
"OK, let me put it blankly for you. Our monsters are weaker than the other monster even when digi-volved because of one reason or another. If we fought other weaker enemies then the one we're gonna fight eventually, our monsters will get stronger and not waste as much energy on digi-volving."
"Oh, I get it now." Took long enough. [Amen to that]. Oh yeah.
"Sounds like a good idea to me!" Sora yells somewhere off in the distance.
"I agree!" Mimi yells.
"I Disagree to agree to disagreeing!" [I yell, rather intelligently]. For a wet sponge. [Spongebob Squarepants is a wet sponge]…Exactly. You know, I think TV corrupted you.
"What are you talking about Dordimon?" Gabumon asks.
"Uh, well…you know…" Smooth, really smooth…[Shut up.]
"She says she agrees." I tell the little wolf digimon.
"Oh…OK…then I guess I agree too." Mya 1 Dordimon 0…hee hee hee. [Must you think?] I'll ignore that. If you haven't noticed, Dordimon, or what ever she is at the time, has a huge, enormous, gargantuan crush on her fellow digimon, Gabumon, or whatever he is at the time. [Hey! You can't go blabbing my personal information!] Sure I can, I'm telling the story. [Oh yeah, well Mya's no better, don't let me not get started on Matt and what happened while the group was away.] (Mya! Some one yells.) [Let me tell you!] You were awake? [Well now the secret's out! So there they were…]Uh, Dordimon…[Hush…they were both on edge]…Dordimon…[they had the urge]…DORDIMON! [WHAT!] They know already. [Oh…well then]…and besides I was not kissing him, I was whispering in his mouth. [Oye]. Let me continue with the present now. [OK.]
"Mya!" Matt yells at me.
"Huh, what you say?"
"I said, come on, Let's put that plan of yours into action."
"Oh so soon? I was enjoying talking, I mean not walking."
"I'll see if we can rest a little more."
"Thanks!" With that he walks away and leaves me alone. [Us]. Me, you're not standing next to me. [Look down]. I look down at my feet and see a little blue ball smiling at me, as bright as can be. [Awwwe].
"Told ya." She says and [Walks away proud to prove a point. Ha, Dordimon 1, Mya 0]. Must you think?
***
Here we are, walking again…well, most of us, ain't that right Dordimon? [You are absolutely correct Mya! I'm hitching a ride on your shoulder, ain't life grand?] If you're a bus. We've been walking and walking and walking…[so what else in new?]
My plan hasn't been put into action yet on the count of there are no bad guys to fight! [Frustrating, isn't it?] Yes, very. If only someone had the guts to challenge our band of noble fighters! Damn, we weren't attacked. [What are you trying to do, summon a horde of barbarians?! Damn, it didn't work.] Accidentally, I run into Izzy, whose nose is yet again buried in his laptop.
"Oh, sorry Izzy."
"It's OK…" He lifts his nose out of the laptop and looks at my face, "Mya."
"So, what cha' doing?"
"Looking at that new monster we saw last night."
"Ah."
"It turns out, it wasn't a digimon, but some other worldly thing."
"Oooo."
"Yes, it had been see before. It is called Dundragoon. It has no actual body and must body hop to survive. If it were a digimon though, it would be characterized as a Super-ultra-mega digimon."
"And definitely not friendly."
"Exactly. And the only way to defeat it is to…well, I really don't know yet."
"That's OK."
"Well, that's exactly why I'm working."
"Hey Mya…" [I whisper in her ear.]
"What?" I whisper back. Izzy's gone back to typing.
"Matt and Gabumon at 3:00!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"They're to your right."
"Hi Mya." Matt says cheerfully to me.
"AHH! Oh, you scared me." [Smart…really smart…]
"Nice day, isn't it?"
"What do you want, I don't have any money."
"Nothing, I don't want anything, my little friend here does."
"What do you want, Gabumon?"
"Well, I wanted to know if you has any food to eat." [Discouraged to hear this particular statement, I answer blandly and flatly,]
"No, we don't have any…"
"Yes we do, here." I say as I hand him a small fruit I happen to have found in my pocket.
"Thanks." He says and walks of ahead of us.
"That was nice of you." Matt says
"It was, wasn't it."
"Thinking you could have eaten it your self or given it to Dordimon, or maybe me…"
"He looked so hungry, it's the least I could do…"
"You could have given it to me…"
"He asked for it and looked sooo hungry…"
"I look really hungry…"
"Yeah, but your not as hungry…"
"I have a bigger stomach…"
"But you don't need it to fight…"
"Umm…huh…"
"Hey, guys…we got a problem…" A voice says of ahead of us. What is it now? Turn my head to see Joe talking to us arms flailing and a scared look on his face.
"What is it?"
"There's a monster…a really big one in fact heading this way! And he's charging at ramming speed!" With that I snap back into reality and start to give out orders.
"All right everyone! Hide! We'll make this an ambush attack!"
"Right!" Many of them yell. We scatter off into the trees and hide. [Hey…hey hey Mya…you really think he's an enemy?] Don't know…
"RAGH…rotten digi-destine! Where'd ya go!"
"Hey…that's a Monocromon…they really don't talk…" [I say slightly alarmed.] A Monocromon ehh?
"Who's this next to me?"
"Izzy."
"OK, Izzy I think we should digi-volve and lead the attack." Unfortunately…Tai's got other plans.
"Hey, Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" Wargreymon steps out of the trees and fires a terraforce.
"NO! NO TAI! NOT NOW!" I yell, "Dordimon! Digi-volve a bit!"
"Right!" She runs out into the clearing.
"Dordimon digi-volve to…Daggdramon, and then…Daggdramon digi-volve to Sworddramon!"
"Let's do this!"
"Ah…Rotten digi-destine! Time to die!!!"
"SWORD TORNADO!" The Monocromon easily evades the attack. [No way! He…he's too big to avoid an attack like that!] At that all the other digimon, well the champion forms of them and Weregarurumon anyway, step out of the trees to help the battle.
"Electro SHOCKER!"
"HAND of FATE!"
"METEOR WING!"
"METAL WOLF SNOUT!"
"LIGHTING CLAW!"
"NEEDLE SPRAY!"
"HORN TOPEDO" The Monocromon avoids all the attacks and jumps high into the air to avoid the needle spray.
"No way!" I yell.
"Monocromon are nowhere near that agile!" Izzy states in shock.
"Awe…you don't give me enough credit digi-destine!" That voice…so familiar…Hum…[Oh no, here comes a flash back while we're in the heat of battle.] OH Shut up, get back to fighting! As I was saying, Hummmmmm…(By the way, I'm about to flash back so anything after this parenthesis is in my brain, until further notified of course. [Oh HURRY UP!] OK, sheese.) "Ahhh…much more power than expected…"…"Maybe too strong…"…"But, not much sense…"…I'm getting something…"Resistance is worthless…" That's IT! (The flash back is now over thank you and have a nice day.)
"I…it's possessed by DUNDRAGOON!"
"Ding ding ding! Johnny show her what she's won!" The Monocromon looks me in the eyes and smiles, "Well, Jack, she's won a one way ticket to destruction!" The Monocromon roars and charges up for its attack.
"SWORD TORNADO!" Sworddramon launches the attack and hits it on the side of its face.
"RAGH!!!" It bends down on its front left knee.
"Now guys attack!"
"HORN TOPEDO"
"METAL WOLF SNOUT!"
"NEEDLE SPRAY!"
"ARGH!!!! Rotten digi-destine." With that something flew out of the Monocromon and disappeared into the forest.
"Finish it off Wargreymon!" Wargreymon prepared to attack.
"NO Tai! It's not our enemy anymore!"
"How do you know?"
"Dundragoon left it!"
"Hurry, run Monocromon…" Mimi whispers edging the digimon to get up. The Monocromon rises to its feet and limps hastily away.
"It's getting away!"
"Tai! Calm down!" Sora yells and walks over.
"Grrrr, humph."
"What's the big idea charging out like that? How come you didn't tell anyone?" I ask.
"I felt that I should lead the battle."
"What made you think that?"
"Well, I was of course the most capable of leading us in to a glorious victory." After that came many grunts of …of…you know when you fell like, yeah right whatever.
"It was an ambush, that means more than one at a time. You should have waited till we were behind him. Simple Tactics."
"What if he didn't walk by?"
"Then attack."
"Fine Mya, whatever you say." He turns and stars to walk away. Felling hurt that he gave in like that and feeling like a complete jerk, I respond accordingly.
"But you did help us win, so you did good…" He turns around and looks at me. [Oh how the mighty fall.]
"Right." He turns around and walks away. A bittersweet victory ends in defeat. I sigh and hang my head down. I start to walk to a near by tree.
"You OK?" I look up.
"Yeah, I'm fine…thanks…"
"You sure? I mean you can always talk to me."
"Yeah, I know Matt…"
"OK…are you really positively sure?"
"Yes silly. I'll be fine." I force a smile to make him feel like I'm telling the truth.
"Oh, OK then…" He smiles and walks of somewhere. I continue to walk to the tree and sulk on the side of it.
"OH SAY CAN YOU SEE!!!!???" A horrible voice pierces my ears. What the hell?
"Like my singing Mya?" I look up and see Daggdramon standing there.
"Uh, you could go to the repair man to get that fixed."
"Oh, really nice…really nice." I smile, but it only stays for a brief second, "Come on spill the beans."
"Nothing's wrong."
"Don't forget our mind link. You could fool Matt, but not me."
"If we have a mind link you should know." I snap and turn my head.
"Oh, harsh…look you chill. I'll take over the duty for a while."
"Fine." I turn again and sulk. Just warning you, if I think something, it will show up. [So, today was a fun day. We had a few scuffles but we will recuperate.] This whole thing sucks. I fell like a total jerk now when the whole point was to my Tai apologies for acting out of plan. I think I have just made my self an enemy, but not on purpose of course. I bet you Tai and me could get along if he wasn't so bossy…listen to me, talking about someone else being bossy when I am no better myself. Hrumph…this really sucks. [She thinks a lot doesn't she? Well anyway], Maybe I should be more cooperative… Yeah, that's a good plan…be nice to Tai. Harder than it sounds…[As I was saying a] But what does he think of me now. Probably thinks that I am no good at all and if I try to patch things up, maybe it won't work I wonder what Matt would think…[OK! The group has stopped moving and now we're just chillin'. Sora's talking to Tai, maybe trying to help patch things up between him and Mya. Mimi is listening to them debate. Tai looks pretty peeved. Poor babies, all raped up in something they really didn't want to happen…Joe is also listening to the debate. Their digimon are at their sides trying to make all things just again. Izzy's on his computer, go fig.] [Tentomon is sleeping near him. Matt is playing his harmonica and Gabumon is listening attentively. This is such a major relapse. I mean they just started to get along, but then they both messed up and regressed. It feels like the just digi-volved, but due to complications…then went back again…maybe this is beyond their control and it will just run itself through. They are some much alike, confident, hardheaded, they only follow one person, themselves that they can't bother to make ends met.] I can too make ends meet, just continue telling the story. [I digress. Matt has stopped playing his harmonica and is now looking at Mya in a worried way. Maybe I should talk to him.
"Mya"
"What?"
"I'll be right back OK?"
"Whatever…" I walk over toward Matt.
"Matt, Daggdramon is coming over."
"Right Gabumon. What's up Daggdramon?"
"You look worried about her."
"I've never seen someone sulk that much over a argument."
"She just a bit sensitive, that's all."
"But she's never been like before."
"She's never had someone put her down like that before, well as far as I know anyway."
"Doesn't look like she took it very well at all."
"Let me tell you something about girls Matt. Something I've learned from being one, and stuff I've learned from her in a short while. We bounce back, most of the time anyway. Remember when Piedmon almost killed her?" Matt enters a brief flashback before replying.'
' "How could I forget? I let him take her."
"And what was on of the first things she did besides talking to the rest of the girls?"
"………She played tag."
"Right, so this, like her temporary dysfunction, too will pass."
"I wish there was something I could do to make it up to her…"
"How about giving me some of that stuff Gabumon is eating?"
"I am not eating anything…"
"So what's that in your left claw?"
"A rock."
"Oh…"
"So, you sure she'll be OK. Tai's gonna be around a lot longer than you think."
"Maybe you should talk to her."
"That didn't work."
"Oh, well I don't know." Matt looks behind him at Gabumon and seems to be struck with an idea.
"Go back to Mya now, I'll see you in a minute."
"Right." I walk over to Mya, who is still sulking, but not really thinking.] I hear footsteps, must be Daggdramon coming back. [I take that back.
"Where did you go?"
"I went to talk to someone."
"Who?"
"A person?"
"Who?!"
"Uh, Mya?"
"Who is that now?" She rolls over to see Matt hiding something behind his back, "What's that?"
"Uh. Here." From behind his back, he pulls out some wild flowers.
"Are, are those fo…for me?"
"Yeah. Here." Mya takes the flowers and smiles.
"Thank You…" She says and her eyes begin to water, no crying, just a little misty.
"Oh, your welcome, I just wanted to cheer you up a bit."
"Wow. Good Job Matt." I whisper to Matt quietly.
"Thanks." He whispers back.] All of a sudden, the sky goes black and thunder strikes in the atmosphere.
"Hey! What's that!?" Kari yells pointing at the sky. Lightning flashes wickedly as we all gasp. Something is tossed from the sky.
"Oh my goodness! What is that!?" Sora yells, obviously noticing the thing in the sky. It seems to be screaming.
"HOOOOOLY CRRRAAAAAAAAPPP! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" But hey, I really don't know. It crashes through the trees and stops making noise.
"Woah! What in the world?" I say standing up in astonishment, putting Matt's flowers down in the process. I look over to my left at Tai, Sora, and the rest. Tai and Sora are standing to also get a better look at things. Tai's eyes light up as he stares of into the distance. OK, I'll try to patch things up. I look over there and speak,
"Uh…Tai!" I yell. He looks over, still a little angry, "Uh…Wanna…" I falter. "Wanna see what that was?" I smile in a hope that he won't blow me off. He stops frowning and keeps a straight face like he was thinking.
"Sure. As long as you don't bother me about tactics." I smile widely. Oh WOW! That was really easy. "This doesn't me I'm still not a bit mad a to you."
"Oh." I smile less widely, "But were not fighting anymore, right?"
"Sure, OK." Still easier than I thought.
"All right!" I yell, "Get your digimon and let's go!"
"Yeah!"
"Woohoo!"
"Let's go!!" Whoops of excitement all at one time.
We march of into the forest Tai and Agumon at the lead, but with me, Dordimon, Matt and Gabumon close behind. We are all hyped and ready for battle!
***
We are fighting through the forest now. Branches aren't behaving very friendly like; they keep wiping me in the face. My face is now reddening from the constant smack for branches. Don't get me wrong, it's no one in front of me…I think. It's just the branches up above. [Sure.] If you know so much, then what is it? [Well, it's your bad reflexes. You don't catch the breaches coming your way.] Oh…my bad reflexes…right…
"Hey Mya! Catch up! Your falling behind." I look up and ahead of me. Sora's beckoning me.
"Oh, OK, OW!" I cringe as another branch smacks me in the face. [Just run ahead, I'll keep a look out for branches.] Right. I run ahead to catch up to Sora and the rest. She's right, I am the last on walking.
"BRANCH!" I keep walking and duck a branch that was coming my way. I finally catch up with them
"Nice to see you again." Izzy says.
"Yeah, haha." I rub the side of my face, which feels really sore, "Ow."
"That looks pretty red." Joe comments.
"I'll be fine." I assure him as we stop walking.
"I'm sure it fell somewhere around here." Tai says looking around for signs of damage or that thing that fell out the sky, "Maybe it's over there?" He says pointing to a bush near by. He runs hastily over to it and starts searching frantically. Sora, Matt, Izzy, and I all find this very peculiar, as I can tell by our expressions. "Maybe over there?" He runs to another bush, "There?" He runs again, "There?!" and again, "There!?" and again. We all start to laugh at him.
"Judging by the places it's not," I say fighting back a laugh, "Maybe its up there." I toss my finger toward the top of a near by tree.
"Oh, wow! Good idea. I didn't think of that." He says launching himself at a tree and starts climbing. "A HA! I found it!" He gestures us to see what he's found. Much to my surprise, he's found something.
"That's an arm!" Sora says enthusiastically.
"Yeah, but where's the rest of it?!" Matt asks.
"Oh, good point." Tai says as he starts looking through the tree branches.
"Maybe I could lend a hand, or a wing anyway." Biyomon says flying up to look in the tree.
"A torso!" Tai yells, his head still in the tree.
"What do you think it is?" Mimi whispers to us.
"A leg!" Tai.
"Well, from what he's found, it's either a robot…" Izzy begins
"Another Leg!" [Must be keeping us posted]. Yeah.
"Or a person."
"A person! Someone like you guys?" Gomamon asks looking up from a fruit on the ground.
"Yeah." Joe says.
"That would be pretty cool…I think…" Daggdramon replies.
"Well depends on the personality." Palmon says gesturing to me for some reason.
"The other arm!"
"Well, whatever it is, lets hope its friendly." Gabumon says.
"A head! Hey guys I found all of it…or him!"
"What is it?!" Agumon yells up at him.
"It's a kid!"
"Woah cool! Another kid!" T.K. yells. No sooner than that left T.K.'s lips, Izzy whips out his computer and boots it up. Guess he's contacting Gennai. What do you think? [Probably.]
"We can't leave him up there!" Sora yells.
"Right." Tai answers. Biyomon lifts up the kid in her talons by his shoulders and carries him down. He's seems to be alive, I think. Tai slides down the tree trunk and joins the rest of us.
"Cool…" Tai says.
"Uh, is he alive?" I ask.
"Seems to be breathing."
"Let me see." Joe checks his pulse and nods, "Yeah, he's alive."
"Just what we need, another body." Gatomon says. He's about Matt's height, his hair is wavy and pulled back in a ponytail. He is warring a black button-down jacket with a big owl on the back. He is warring a blue baseball ball cap backwards. He has on black sunglasses, blue jeans, and gray and blue sneakers. His skin is tan.
"Hey guys, Genni's hologram is up!"
"What is it kids?" He asks. Last time I saw him, he gave me some really distressing info. Yeah. Are you OK, your not talking much. [No talking, yeah…Yawn.] Never mind. Anyway.
"We found a kid." Izzy says.
"In a tree!" Tentomon says hopping up and down.
"A kid, ehh." Gennai says scratching his beard, "Must be that other kid I ordered."
"What!?" We all gasp in total disbelief.
"I thought Mya was the last one!"
"Well, yes, she was but… Oh nine is such an odd number, don't you think, I figured 10 would be a better, rounder, primer number. You know, five and five? It would get better results."
"Technically, ten isn't a prime number…'
"Whatever, whatever. Well, now he's here and I can't return him. No refunds kind of thing. Get to know him, he's not that bad."
"He looks familiar…" I mutter quietly.
"Yeah, I took someone that you knew Mya, his name is…"
"Ben?" T.K. asks.
"No, not Ben, what kind of name is that? His name is Brett Murray. Be nice. Gennai out."
"That helped us none." Tai comments.
"Hummmm, Brett Murray, Brett Murray…"
"Name ring any bells? Preferably that big one up in the bell tower." Matt whispers. [What bell tower?] Oh hush. [I thought you wanted me to talk?] The bell tower is a figure of speech!
"Yeah, we used to be in the same class."
"Well?"
"He likes women."
"Well, what guy doesn't?"
"Gay ones, but that's be side the point. I mean he really, really likes them!"
"Hey, hey guys, we've got movement ova hea!" Daggdramon yells at us. Ova hea? [I'm experimenting. ] Ova Hea…any way. He rolls over a bit. Sora, Mimi, and I all crowd around looking down at him. He lifts up his sunglasses to his head as his eyes open and he starts to speak.
"Holy crap, where am I? Woah! Chicks! I must be in heaven!"
