Disclaimer Um…What everyone else said.
Chapter 1 and so our journey begins…
Andy gulped down the water in his water bottle; the cold water dripped from the bottle to his leg, "Man, it's really hot out today," he mumbled while pulling his red hat off. His wild hair that was compacted under his cap immediately flew straight up into what it normally is without the hat. He put his hand to his forehead.
"Yeah, I know. Isn't it strange considering that it's winter?" Naomi added who was sitting next to Andy on a bench. She pulled her orange hair into a ponytail as if her thumb and index finger was a rubber band; she let it go, sighing, "You mind if I borrow that for a sec?" Referring to Andy's water, "Thank you!" she said like Andy had said 'yes,' she grabbed it out of his hand and put it to her forehead, "You're lucky that your water is cool, mine has already warmed up," she closed her eyes, relaxed.
Finally zoning out of how the weather is so weird, Andy sighed doubtfully and put his cap back on. Suddenly he noticed that Naomi was carrying his water bottle when he attempted to grip it, "Huh, wha…eh?" he said pointing to Naomi as his eyes darted from his hand to Naomi's, "How…?" It then finally went through his head, "Ack! Naomi c'mon give it back!" He lunged at her.
Naomi quickly switched hands, "Ooooh so close," she joked while laughing. Andy attempted to snatch it again as Naomi stretched her arm out and over the bench.
Andy smiled as if it had turned into a game, "Hey…c'mon!!!" He jumped up and lunged towards the water bottle, leaping over the bench, missing the bottle, and slamming into the ground, "Ow."
"Are you ok?" Naomi said, looking down behind her at Andy, suppressing a laugh. She then turned back speechless, but managing to say, "Hey…look at that…" She slowly turned to hand over Andy's water bottle back to him as a small pool of swirling water floated in the air.
"Eh…?" said Andy, slowly and dizzily he threw one arm over the bench's backrest, pushing himself as much as he could onto the bench. His hand was covering the part of his head that took most of the fall. As he looked up to where Naomi was pointing, his eyes widened, "What…is it…?" The whirlpool suddenly grew to be larger than ever.
"Amazing…" noted Naomi.
A force had started to pull them into the swirling pool of water.
"Naomi! We're going to get suck in if we don't do anything," shouted Andy, who was gripping the bench and trying to hold back the force.
"I…I can't help…it…" her hand started to slip.
Andy gripped it as quick as he could, squinting.
Suddenly he felt a digital fuzzy feeling, 'It is going to be ok…' "Huh?" His eye's widened. And forgetting the whirlpool and the high winds, he and Naomi were sucked in helplessly.
And the only thing in sight was the pitch shade, black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, I'm goin' to the park kay?" he said straightening his brown vest.
"What for?" his aunt asked while scrubbing a pot used for lunch. The boy ignored her purposely, taking his skateboard, which was propped up against the wall, and dropping it carelessly to the floor. Laying one foot onto his skateboard, he pushed off a couple of times and set the other foot on neatly.
His aunt looked up from washing and sighed deeply as he shut the door entrance.
As he entered the park, he felt a tap on his shoulder, turning his head halfway, he said with a tone of annoyance, "What?" He stopped, putting pressure on the foot near the end of the skateboard.
A girl about his age with blondish hair wrapped in two low Indian- style pigtails stood before him, "Hey, are you Sean?"
"Yeah, what's it to you?"
The girl brightened, "So you're the boy from Osaka!" She continued, "Hi I'm Amy! Naomi has told me, Andy, and a few other friends about you!" She babbled on and on.
"Um…" he mumbled as he thought in his mind, 'Someone tell her to shut up,' "Thanks. I guess."
"She said that you were coming to Tokyo for the holidays."
"Yeah, so?"
"Aren't you excited to see her after...I think, four years?"
"I guess maybe."
"Well then c'mon, she's over he-"
"What?"
"I thought this is where they said everyone would meet like usual," Amy's finger was pointing to a bench next to a basketball court.
"Well there's the basketball," noted Sean.
"Hmm…" she sighed, "I going to look around this place ok? To see if they've wandered off together somewhere or something like that." The minute she finished her sentence she was off and running.
Sean silently dropped his skateboard and picked up the basketball and turned to the basket. He gazed up at the basket with concentration and attempted to make a shot.
Swish.
A strong gust of wind flowed by. He heard water swishing back and forth. He picked up his skateboard as he heard the soothing sound. Suddenly, the wind blew stronger than Sean could hold on to. The sound of water formed a swirling pool of water, expanding frequently. Trying to hold back the wind with a one fist poorly guarding his face he murmured, "What the-"But before he could finish his sentence he vanished into the whirlpool. His skateboard dropped to the ground carelessly as the whirlpool closed up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His eyes fluttered as he slowly awoke.
Two large eyes stared anxiously down at him, "Hi Andy!!"
"AAHHG!!!" screamed Andy shuffling away from whatever was sitting on his chest. The bouncing blob with wings, hopped off his chest, continuously bouncing up and down, "Wha…What the heck are you!!!???"
"I'm your Digimon partner Andy!" The digimon's wings flapped frequently every time it bounced, "The name's Keokimon!"
"Keokay-what?"
"Keo-kimon!!
"Oh." Andy stared, dumbfounded.
"Hey look you guys, he woke up!!!" A girl with blue hair wrapped into two loose pigtails that hung over her shoulders and covered by a bandana wearing a video camera around her neck which she was using at that moment. She held the camera in front of Andy's face closely.
"So…tell the cam your name ok?"
"Um…Hi I'm Andy."
"Really that's great! I'm Lily, and these peeps are Kris and Greg!" She finally switched her video camera off and let it down.
One of them was a girl with brownish black hair and eyes. She had a dark blue back pack sitting on her lap.
The other one was a boy with black hair and eyes. He was holding a reading book in his hand.
"So…where are we?" asked Andy he put a hand to his forehead to make sure he was still alive.
"You're in the Digital World Andy!!!!" Keokimon shouted gleefully still bouncing like there was no tomorrow.
"I don't think I want to ask anymore questions to you…"
"Keokimon's right," Kris popped in.
"Huh?"
"He had told us about this place a while ago," She said.
Then Greg started to speak up, "Everything here is data or virus. Even us humans."
"What?" Andy turned to Keokimon, "You were telling the truth?"
"YES!!!" Keokimon grinned.
Andy slumped back down to the dusty, rock hard sand, his arms carelessly flinging upwards from his head and said in a sarcastic voice, "This great, just great."
"I know, isn't it? We're going to be great friends!!!"
Andy fell silent.
"Yeah yea yea yea!!!!"
Andy sat back up, and said, "You had too much caffeine today didn't you?"
The little white ball with wings replied, still hopping away, "What's caffeine?"
"Uh…forget that."
'How can he be so happy?' Andy thought to himself, 'It's like everything is in the right place and time for him.'
"Because it is," noted Keokimon.
"You…you can read my mind?"
"Yup." Keokimon finally stopped bouncing, his wing-like ears settled down on to his ball-like body.
"No way.." Andy suddenly began to feel confident and a faint smile appeared on his face, suddenly Keokimon interrupted, "Yes way," he said shortly. Andy smirked and then said, "Heh…you know what? You aren't that bad after all." And he patted Keokimon on the head.
"Ok yah that's great but," Lily mumbled with her head cupped in her hands, she raised her voice with an irritated tone, "IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED IT'S NOT GETTING US ANYWHERE." She sat sitting cross-legged with a bored expression on the rocky and dusty floor.
"Yeah, but don't you wonder why we were the ones who were dropped down to this planet?" noted Greg thoughtfully.
Kris nodded in agreement, "Uh huh. You wonder why they chose us instead of other peeps."
"My friend," Andy suddenly began to speak, "Naomi; she was sucked into that whirlpool too…"
"Really?" said Greg, "That must mean that she's here too."
"Ok!"
"Huh? What do you mean 'ok'?"
Andy jumped to his feet, "Ok. Let's go!" Keokimon bounced next to Andy, who had already was on his way, happily strolling along confidently.
"Wait a minute!" shouted Lily, "Andy we've already been chased by about 18 monsters and we're all just dead pooped."
"Eighteen monsters!! What are you talking about, we've only been chased by two!" said Kris two of her fingers popped up from her fist that signified the number two.
"Oh never mind!"
"Hmm…ok I'm going too," said Greg, he got up, "Any other volunteers?"
Kris grinned with confidence and jumped up, "Let's go!"
Lily switched her video camera on and slowly managed to stand up; she made a fist showing that she had gained more courage, "o-k!"
Andy had heard them. He smiled as he turned around as if he had just been neglected a moment ago, and finally for the first time had friends, "Yeah!" He happily jumped in the air while throwing a fist full of courage and hope, "That's the spirit!"
And so the four bright children set off on their long journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AAAHHHGGG!!!!! What is up with this stupid long desert!!!" Complained Lily with a loud voice, "We've been walking forever, and all I've been getting on my camera is a bunch of stupid tumbleweeds and dust!!!!" She gave up on filming anything and switched her video camera off.
"You know, you've been switching your camera on and off for about five times already," pointed out Andy, "You mind as well just keep it off, but," he made a doubtful gesture, with a matching expression, "I guess those things just have a hard time flowing through your brain," he tapped his forehead.
Lily was enraged, "ARE YOU CALLING ME STUPID?" She glared down at Andy.
"Eh….uh…of course not." A large drop of sweat rolled down his head as he smiled nervously.
"Huh!" Still offended by the comment, she stuck her tongue out, making a noisy sound, "Yeah, right," she said sarcastically, "That's what EVERYONE says."
"Actually," Kris started to say; Lily started to fume as she said, "I GET.THE POINT."
Kris fell silent.
"HELLO!!!??" Andy shouted to the world, his hands were cupped around his mouth so his voice would be thrown straight forward, "anyone?"
"Andy!" whispered Keokimon loudly.
"What?"
"I wouldn't advise doing that."
"How come?"
"Because…"
Suddenly they heard a large crack in the ground, startled, the children stopped in their tracks glancing around cautiously.
"Uh…what was that?" said Lily nervously, her eyes glanced back and forth very frequently as if she was about to have a major break-down.
"T…tell me that was just an earthquake…"
"But that w—"
An overly large dragon flew out of the crack on onto the earth prepared for battle. Large rocks and dust polluted the air as the four kids and Digimon ran for their lives.
"What the—" Andy's eye's widened in amazement, "what the heck is that...that thing?!"
"Didn't we tell you!?" shouted Greg, dodging rocks and they fell through the sky, "Monsters roam this planet!!!"
"That's a Drilldramon!!!" said Keokimon as he bounced up in down next the Andy who was running, "That drill of his can penetrate through anything. There's a rumor that he had driven from this continent, to Server, which is another continent, and back by bypassing literally through the digital world!!"
"WHAT??!!!" Andy's momentum grew higher like the other children as they heard that speech.
"Hey I found a cave!!!!" Kris shouted out, "over here!" The others followed her towards the cave as she slipped into a narrow hole.
As soon as the last person, Lily, stepped inside the drill of the digimon's face poked through the hole missing her by the inch. Lily screamed in terror and apprehension as she saw it twirling so close to her body. As she managed to squeeze out of that situation with the help of her cousin Greg, the children backed away from the entrance to the hole with caution.
Kris took another step back, suddenly she felt something brush against her back; she then grew tense as she turned her head half way, "huh? Ryan?"
A tall boy with round glasses turned around, "Hey well whaddaya know, it's Kris!" He smiled, carefree, and ruffled Kris' hair with amusement.
"Ryan, what happened?" A girl with orange hair stepped out behind the darkness of the cave.
"Huh? What? " Said Andy, "Naomi?"
"Yeah, who'd you expect?" she grinned, "I want you to meet someone."
A tall boy with spikey blonde hair appeared, he wore tight black gloves that showed his fingers and a brown vest.
Andy greeted him like every person would do; "Hi!" he prepared to shake hands, but the boy refused by ignoring it all. Andy stared at him with a dumbfounded look and slowly pulled back his hand, "Oh...kay…"
"This is Sean," Naomi continued, "He's the boy from Osaka, he's kind of quiet." She grinned doubtfully, she then pointed with her thumb, at the boy with the glasses, "And that's Ryan. He's very uh, eccentric."
Andy smirked "Well, anyway, this is Greg, Kris, and Lily." He pointed to each one individually.
Keokimon managed to bounce onto Andy's head," Oh yeah, and this is Keokimon." He laughed, "it's a Digimon."
"Huh?"
Keokimon spoke up, "A digital monster."
Naomi stared, "It can talk?"
"Yeah, why?" Andy lifted Keokimon off his head, and patted him.
"Cool but weird…"
Andy laughed, "heh, I know how you feel."
Suddenly Drilldramon who had been forgotten, burst into cave, causing large quantities of rock fall from the ceiling of the cave, and the kids running for their safety.
Greg dodged the falling rocks in the dark cave, he saw a tiny speck of light peeking into the cave, "Look! Light!" he pointed out. As he approached it, he started to extract rocks that blocked the exit. Soon enough they all started to help him.
"Arg."
"Oof."
"He watch it! That's not a rock, that's my camera!"
"Sorry."
"Come on you guys we got to speed it up, the walls are caving in!"
"Almost…just a few more…"
"Ai."
"Wai!"
"Hurry up!" shouted Keokimon, his voice they could retrieve, even in the darkness."
"Why don't you try and help some time then!"
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I don't have any arms if you haven't noticed."
They heard a grumble of disgust.
The sound of Drilldramon's roar filled echoed in the cave, sending chills up their backs."
"Oh no, he's catching up!!!"
"WHAT?!"
"I'm going to have to fight!" And with that, Keokimon disappeared into the darkness.
Andy's eye's widened, "No way! Come back here, you're no match to that 'whatever'!" Andy shouted he ran after Keokimon.
Keokimon suck in a large amount of air causing his body to be inflated, "Bubble blow!" pink bubbles shot out of his mouth, and hit Drilldramon.
For a second, Drilldramon roared with pain, though the power was not strong enough to defeat him and started his own attack, "Rocky Spear!" sharp rocks were sent flying towards Keokimon, "Duck!" Andy shouted, but it was too late. Keokimon had been shot with a spear, "aaaaaaaaaah!!!"
"Keokimon!!!!!!!" Andy ran over to his friend and picked him up, "That must have hurt, are you ok?"
Keokimon answered, "Don't worry about me, I'm ok."
"Come on we got to get out of here!" Andy whispered loudly as he got up. He sprinted and ran, to the end of the cave. He caught a glance behind him, noticing that the monster was struggling to get out of the cave, but slowly failing, as rocks piled up, trapping the digital monster.
As they attempted to pull out the last boulder that blocked the exit, a gush of light shown over them and into the cave, and they quickly scurried out into the fresh air. "Yeah alright! Finally!" shouted Andy, gleefully, jumping up, shooting a fist into the air of victory.
Ryan hopped onto a stable rock, his fists on his hips, shouting, "WE ARE INVINSIBLE!!!! He slightly buffed his chest out, laughing insanely. His glasses gleamed in the sunlight, which made him look creepy.
Everyone, who were already pooped and plopped down on the ground, sweat dropped.
"Um…I'm guessing that just came out of nowhere," said Kris, she stared at Ryan like he was a lunatic; which he was at the moment.
"Ok, who messed up my camera, because now my dimwitted half cousin has to fix it!!" screeched Lily, she pushed Ryan off the rock, and jumped on herself.
"Wha? Ack! Hey!" said Ryan as he stumbled off the rock and onto the grassy ground feet first, "the least you could do is say, 'excuse me?' Sheesh." He silently brushed himself off.
Greg was tinkering with the preview screen on the video camera, which had fallen off, "You really should calm down Lily," he mumbled as he screwed a loose screw into a hole, "The screws just got loose that's all. You're lucky I had a tiny screwdriver that actually fit your screws in my pocket."
"Yeah, that is luck," said Andy with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Yes yes, I know but still," said Lily casually, "DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS???? I BET YOU ONE OF THOSE SCREWS ARE ABOUT FIFTY BUCKS EACH IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE."
"hmmm…" mumbled Greg, "nah, probably not."
"Shut up." Lily glared at him.
"Yeah yeah," He then continued to fix up the camera.
"I did." Sean spoke.
"You WHAT?"
Sean glanced at her and said dully, "Geez I said I was sorry didn't I?"
"How dare you…you…"Lily was fuming with anger, "HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY PRECIOUS, ONE OF A KIND, VIDEO CAMERA!!!!"
"Aiieya Lily! It's not one of a kind!" shouted Greg, "besides, I fixed. It was really easy, just the screws were stubborn."
Greg fell silent.
Lily turned back to Sean, "Evil! I paid for it with my own money, you bet!"
Sean smirked, and stood up, even though he was a year younger, he was the same height as Lily, "So what are you goin' to do about it?"
Lily lunged at him.
Sean backed up, his long legs were off and running swiftly, deeper into the forest confidently, but with no spirit. Lily was chasing after him furiously.
"Hey Imoto! You forgot to take it!!!" Shouted Greg, but it was too late.
"Wait for us!" Andy shouted suddenly as soon as he jumped up his momentum speeded up. The rest of the gang reluctantly followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A loud roar filled the forest.
Sean stopped in his tracks, glancing around with a nervous and confused look upon his face.
"SEA—" Lily's shout was muted with fear as she heard another roar, "What…was that?"
"I don't know," said Sean, still glancing around.
The rest of the gang came running up, "Did you hear that?" mentioned Sean.
"Yeah…" replied Andy he panted shortly as he leaned on his knees, he stood straight up again and spoke, "Do you know what it is that is making that sound."
"No."
But just as Sean said that word, a large white tiger with black stripes with wings, flew out and into sight.
Disclaimer Um…What everyone else said.
Chapter 1 and so our journey begins…
Andy gulped down the water in his water bottle; the cold water dripped from the bottle to his leg, "Man, it's really hot out today," he mumbled while pulling his red hat off. His wild hair that was compacted under his cap immediately flew straight up into what it normally is without the hat. He put his hand to his forehead.
"Yeah, I know. Isn't it strange considering that it's winter?" Naomi added who was sitting next to Andy on a bench. She pulled her orange hair into a ponytail as if her thumb and index finger was a rubber band; she let it go, sighing, "You mind if I borrow that for a sec?" Referring to Andy's water, "Thank you!" she said like Andy had said 'yes,' she grabbed it out of his hand and put it to her forehead, "You're lucky that your water is cool, mine has already warmed up," she closed her eyes, relaxed.
Finally zoning out of how the weather is so weird, Andy sighed doubtfully and put his cap back on. Suddenly he noticed that Naomi was carrying his water bottle when he attempted to grip it, "Huh, wha…eh?" he said pointing to Naomi as his eyes darted from his hand to Naomi's, "How…?" It then finally went through his head, "Ack! Naomi c'mon give it back!" He lunged at her.
Naomi quickly switched hands, "Ooooh so close," she joked while laughing. Andy attempted to snatch it again as Naomi stretched her arm out and over the bench.
Andy smiled as if it had turned into a game, "Hey…c'mon!!!" He jumped up and lunged towards the water bottle, leaping over the bench, missing the bottle, and slamming into the ground, "Ow."
"Are you ok?" Naomi said, looking down behind her at Andy, suppressing a laugh. She then turned back speechless, but managing to say, "Hey…look at that…" She slowly turned to hand over Andy's water bottle back to him as a small pool of swirling water floated in the air.
"Eh…?" said Andy, slowly and dizzily he threw one arm over the bench's backrest, pushing himself as much as he could onto the bench. His hand was covering the part of his head that took most of the fall. As he looked up to where Naomi was pointing, his eyes widened, "What…is it…?" The whirlpool suddenly grew to be larger than ever.
"Amazing…" noted Naomi.
A force had started to pull them into the swirling pool of water.
"Naomi! We're going to get suck in if we don't do anything," shouted Andy, who was gripping the bench and trying to hold back the force.
"I…I can't help…it…" her hand started to slip.
Andy gripped it as quick as he could, squinting.
Suddenly he felt a digital fuzzy feeling, 'It is going to be ok…' "Huh?" His eye's widened. And forgetting the whirlpool and the high winds, he and Naomi were sucked in helplessly.
And the only thing in sight was the pitch shade, black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, I'm goin' to the park kay?" he said straightening his brown vest.
"What for?" his aunt asked while scrubbing a pot used for lunch. The boy ignored her purposely, taking his skateboard, which was propped up against the wall, and dropping it carelessly to the floor. Laying one foot onto his skateboard, he pushed off a couple of times and set the other foot on neatly.
His aunt looked up from washing and sighed deeply as he shut the door entrance.
As he entered the park, he felt a tap on his shoulder, turning his head halfway, he said with a tone of annoyance, "What?" He stopped, putting pressure on the foot near the end of the skateboard.
A girl about his age with blondish hair wrapped in two low Indian- style pigtails stood before him, "Hey, are you Sean?"
"Yeah, what's it to you?"
The girl brightened, "So you're the boy from Osaka!" She continued, "Hi I'm Amy! Naomi has told me, Andy, and a few other friends about you!" She babbled on and on.
"Um…" he mumbled as he thought in his mind, 'Someone tell her to shut up,' "Thanks. I guess."
"She said that you were coming to Tokyo for the holidays."
"Yeah, so?"
"Aren't you excited to see her after...I think, four years?"
"I guess maybe."
"Well then c'mon, she's over he-"
"What?"
"I thought this is where they said everyone would meet like usual," Amy's finger was pointing to a bench next to a basketball court.
"Well there's the basketball," noted Sean.
"Hmm…" she sighed, "I going to look around this place ok? To see if they've wandered off together somewhere or something like that." The minute she finished her sentence she was off and running.
Sean silently dropped his skateboard and picked up the basketball and turned to the basket. He gazed up at the basket with concentration and attempted to make a shot.
Swish.
A strong gust of wind flowed by. He heard water swishing back and forth. He picked up his skateboard as he heard the soothing sound. Suddenly, the wind blew stronger than Sean could hold on to. The sound of water formed a swirling pool of water, expanding frequently. Trying to hold back the wind with a one fist poorly guarding his face he murmured, "What the-"But before he could finish his sentence he vanished into the whirlpool. His skateboard dropped to the ground carelessly as the whirlpool closed up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His eyes fluttered as he slowly awoke.
Two large eyes stared anxiously down at him, "Hi Andy!!"
"AAHHG!!!" screamed Andy shuffling away from whatever was sitting on his chest. The bouncing blob with wings, hopped off his chest, continuously bouncing up and down, "Wha…What the heck are you!!!???"
"I'm your Digimon partner Andy!" The digimon's wings flapped frequently every time it bounced, "The name's Keokimon!"
"Keokay-what?"
"Keo-kimon!!
"Oh." Andy stared, dumbfounded.
"Hey look you guys, he woke up!!!" A girl with blue hair wrapped into two loose pigtails that hung over her shoulders and covered by a bandana wearing a video camera around her neck which she was using at that moment. She held the camera in front of Andy's face closely.
"So…tell the cam your name ok?"
"Um…Hi I'm Andy."
"Really that's great! I'm Lily, and these peeps are Kris and Greg!" She finally switched her video camera off and let it down.
One of them was a girl with brownish black hair and eyes. She had a dark blue back pack sitting on her lap.
The other one was a boy with black hair and eyes. He was holding a reading book in his hand.
"So…where are we?" asked Andy he put a hand to his forehead to make sure he was still alive.
"You're in the Digital World Andy!!!!" Keokimon shouted gleefully still bouncing like there was no tomorrow.
"I don't think I want to ask anymore questions to you…"
"Keokimon's right," Kris popped in.
"Huh?"
"He had told us about this place a while ago," She said.
Then Greg started to speak up, "Everything here is data or virus. Even us humans."
"What?" Andy turned to Keokimon, "You were telling the truth?"
"YES!!!" Keokimon grinned.
Andy slumped back down to the dusty, rock hard sand, his arms carelessly flinging upwards from his head and said in a sarcastic voice, "This great, just great."
"I know, isn't it? We're going to be great friends!!!"
Andy fell silent.
"Yeah yea yea yea!!!!"
Andy sat back up, and said, "You had too much caffeine today didn't you?"
The little white ball with wings replied, still hopping away, "What's caffeine?"
"Uh…forget that."
'How can he be so happy?' Andy thought to himself, 'It's like everything is in the right place and time for him.'
"Because it is," noted Keokimon.
"You…you can read my mind?"
"Yup." Keokimon finally stopped bouncing, his wing-like ears settled down on to his ball-like body.
"No way.." Andy suddenly began to feel confident and a faint smile appeared on his face, suddenly Keokimon interrupted, "Yes way," he said shortly. Andy smirked and then said, "Heh…you know what? You aren't that bad after all." And he patted Keokimon on the head.
"Ok yah that's great but," Lily mumbled with her head cupped in her hands, she raised her voice with an irritated tone, "IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED IT'S NOT GETTING US ANYWHERE." She sat sitting cross-legged with a bored expression on the rocky and dusty floor.
"Yeah, but don't you wonder why we were the ones who were dropped down to this planet?" noted Greg thoughtfully.
Kris nodded in agreement, "Uh huh. You wonder why they chose us instead of other peeps."
"My friend," Andy suddenly began to speak, "Naomi; she was sucked into that whirlpool too…"
"Really?" said Greg, "That must mean that she's here too."
"Ok!"
"Huh? What do you mean 'ok'?"
Andy jumped to his feet, "Ok. Let's go!" Keokimon bounced next to Andy, who had already was on his way, happily strolling along confidently.
"Wait a minute!" shouted Lily, "Andy we've already been chased by about 18 monsters and we're all just dead pooped."
"Eighteen monsters!! What are you talking about, we've only been chased by two!" said Kris two of her fingers popped up from her fist that signified the number two.
"Oh never mind!"
"Hmm…ok I'm going too," said Greg, he got up, "Any other volunteers?"
Kris grinned with confidence and jumped up, "Let's go!"
Lily switched her video camera on and slowly managed to stand up; she made a fist showing that she had gained more courage, "o-k!"
Andy had heard them. He smiled as he turned around as if he had just been neglected a moment ago, and finally for the first time had friends, "Yeah!" He happily jumped in the air while throwing a fist full of courage and hope, "That's the spirit!"
And so the four bright children set off on their long journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AAAHHHGGG!!!!! What is up with this stupid long desert!!!" Complained Lily with a loud voice, "We've been walking forever, and all I've been getting on my camera is a bunch of stupid tumbleweeds and dust!!!!" She gave up on filming anything and switched her video camera off.
"You know, you've been switching your camera on and off for about five times already," pointed out Andy, "You mind as well just keep it off, but," he made a doubtful gesture, with a matching expression, "I guess those things just have a hard time flowing through your brain," he tapped his forehead.
Lily was enraged, "ARE YOU CALLING ME STUPID?" She glared down at Andy.
"Eh….uh…of course not." A large drop of sweat rolled down his head as he smiled nervously.
"Huh!" Still offended by the comment, she stuck her tongue out, making a noisy sound, "Yeah, right," she said sarcastically, "That's what EVERYONE says."
"Actually," Kris started to say; Lily started to fume as she said, "I GET.THE POINT."
Kris fell silent.
"HELLO!!!??" Andy shouted to the world, his hands were cupped around his mouth so his voice would be thrown straight forward, "anyone?"
"Andy!" whispered Keokimon loudly.
"What?"
"I wouldn't advise doing that."
"How come?"
"Because…"
Suddenly they heard a large crack in the ground, startled, the children stopped in their tracks glancing around cautiously.
"Uh…what was that?" said Lily nervously, her eyes glanced back and forth very frequently as if she was about to have a major break-down.
"T…tell me that was just an earthquake…"
"But that w—"
An overly large dragon flew out of the crack on onto the earth prepared for battle. Large rocks and dust polluted the air as the four kids and Digimon ran for their lives.
"What the—" Andy's eye's widened in amazement, "what the heck is that...that thing?!"
"Didn't we tell you!?" shouted Greg, dodging rocks and they fell through the sky, "Monsters roam this planet!!!"
"That's a Drilldramon!!!" said Keokimon as he bounced up in down next the Andy who was running, "That drill of his can penetrate through anything. There's a rumor that he had driven from this continent, to Server, which is another continent, and back by bypassing literally through the digital world!!"
"WHAT??!!!" Andy's momentum grew higher like the other children as they heard that speech.
"Hey I found a cave!!!!" Kris shouted out, "over here!" The others followed her towards the cave as she slipped into a narrow hole.
As soon as the last person, Lily, stepped inside the drill of the digimon's face poked through the hole missing her by the inch. Lily screamed in terror and apprehension as she saw it twirling so close to her body. As she managed to squeeze out of that situation with the help of her cousin Greg, the children backed away from the entrance to the hole with caution.
Kris took another step back, suddenly she felt something brush against her back; she then grew tense as she turned her head half way, "huh? Ryan?"
A tall boy with round glasses turned around, "Hey well whaddaya know, it's Kris!" He smiled, carefree, and ruffled Kris' hair with amusement.
"Ryan, what happened?" A girl with orange hair stepped out behind the darkness of the cave.
"Huh? What? " Said Andy, "Naomi?"
"Yeah, who'd you expect?" she grinned, "I want you to meet someone."
A tall boy with spikey blonde hair appeared, he wore tight black gloves that showed his fingers and a brown vest.
Andy greeted him like every person would do; "Hi!" he prepared to shake hands, but the boy refused by ignoring it all. Andy stared at him with a dumbfounded look and slowly pulled back his hand, "Oh...kay…"
"This is Sean," Naomi continued, "He's the boy from Osaka, he's kind of quiet." She grinned doubtfully, she then pointed with her thumb, at the boy with the glasses, "And that's Ryan. He's very uh, eccentric."
Andy smirked "Well, anyway, this is Greg, Kris, and Lily." He pointed to each one individually.
Keokimon managed to bounce onto Andy's head," Oh yeah, and this is Keokimon." He laughed, "it's a Digimon."
"Huh?"
Keokimon spoke up, "A digital monster."
Naomi stared, "It can talk?"
"Yeah, why?" Andy lifted Keokimon off his head, and patted him.
"Cool but weird…"
Andy laughed, "heh, I know how you feel."
Suddenly Drilldramon who had been forgotten, burst into cave, causing large quantities of rock fall from the ceiling of the cave, and the kids running for their safety.
Greg dodged the falling rocks in the dark cave, he saw a tiny speck of light peeking into the cave, "Look! Light!" he pointed out. As he approached it, he started to extract rocks that blocked the exit. Soon enough they all started to help him.
"Arg."
"Oof."
"He watch it! That's not a rock, that's my camera!"
"Sorry."
"Come on you guys we got to speed it up, the walls are caving in!"
"Almost…just a few more…"
"Ai."
"Wai!"
"Hurry up!" shouted Keokimon, his voice they could retrieve, even in the darkness."
"Why don't you try and help some time then!"
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I don't have any arms if you haven't noticed."
They heard a grumble of disgust.
The sound of Drilldramon's roar filled echoed in the cave, sending chills up their backs."
"Oh no, he's catching up!!!"
"WHAT?!"
"I'm going to have to fight!" And with that, Keokimon disappeared into the darkness.
Andy's eye's widened, "No way! Come back here, you're no match to that 'whatever'!" Andy shouted he ran after Keokimon.
Keokimon suck in a large amount of air causing his body to be inflated, "Bubble blow!" pink bubbles shot out of his mouth, and hit Drilldramon.
For a second, Drilldramon roared with pain, though the power was not strong enough to defeat him and started his own attack, "Rocky Spear!" sharp rocks were sent flying towards Keokimon, "Duck!" Andy shouted, but it was too late. Keokimon had been shot with a spear, "aaaaaaaaaah!!!"
"Keokimon!!!!!!!" Andy ran over to his friend and picked him up, "That must have hurt, are you ok?"
Keokimon answered, "Don't worry about me, I'm ok."
"Come on we got to get out of here!" Andy whispered loudly as he got up. He sprinted and ran, to the end of the cave. He caught a glance behind him, noticing that the monster was struggling to get out of the cave, but slowly failing, as rocks piled up, trapping the digital monster.
As they attempted to pull out the last boulder that blocked the exit, a gush of light shown over them and into the cave, and they quickly scurried out into the fresh air. "Yeah alright! Finally!" shouted Andy, gleefully, jumping up, shooting a fist into the air of victory.
Ryan hopped onto a stable rock, his fists on his hips, shouting, "WE ARE INVINSIBLE!!!! He slightly buffed his chest out, laughing insanely. His glasses gleamed in the sunlight, which made him look creepy.
Everyone, who were already pooped and plopped down on the ground, sweat dropped.
"Um…I'm guessing that just came out of nowhere," said Kris, she stared at Ryan like he was a lunatic; which he was at the moment.
"Ok, who messed up my camera, because now my dimwitted half cousin has to fix it!!" screeched Lily, she pushed Ryan off the rock, and jumped on herself.
"Wha? Ack! Hey!" said Ryan as he stumbled off the rock and onto the grassy ground feet first, "the least you could do is say, 'excuse me?' Sheesh." He silently brushed himself off.
Greg was tinkering with the preview screen on the video camera, which had fallen off, "You really should calm down Lily," he mumbled as he screwed a loose screw into a hole, "The screws just got loose that's all. You're lucky I had a tiny screwdriver that actually fit your screws in my pocket."
"Yeah, that is luck," said Andy with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Yes yes, I know but still," said Lily casually, "DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS???? I BET YOU ONE OF THOSE SCREWS ARE ABOUT FIFTY BUCKS EACH IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE."
"hmmm…" mumbled Greg, "nah, probably not."
"Shut up." Lily glared at him.
"Yeah yeah," He then continued to fix up the camera.
"I did." Sean spoke.
"You WHAT?"
Sean glanced at her and said dully, "Geez I said I was sorry didn't I?"
"How dare you…you…"Lily was fuming with anger, "HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY PRECIOUS, ONE OF A KIND, VIDEO CAMERA!!!!"
"Aiieya Lily! It's not one of a kind!" shouted Greg, "besides, I fixed. It was really easy, just the screws were stubborn."
Greg fell silent.
Lily turned back to Sean, "Evil! I paid for it with my own money, you bet!"
Sean smirked, and stood up, even though he was a year younger, he was the same height as Lily, "So what are you goin' to do about it?"
Lily lunged at him.
Sean backed up, his long legs were off and running swiftly, deeper into the forest confidently, but with no spirit. Lily was chasing after him furiously.
"Hey Imoto! You forgot to take it!!!" Shouted Greg, but it was too late.
"Wait for us!" Andy shouted suddenly as soon as he jumped up his momentum speeded up. The rest of the gang reluctantly followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A loud roar filled the forest.
Sean stopped in his tracks, glancing around with a nervous and confused look upon his face.
"SEA—" Lily's shout was muted with fear as she heard another roar, "What…was that?"
"I don't know," said Sean, still glancing around.
The rest of the gang came running up, "Did you hear that?" mentioned Sean.
"Yeah…" replied Andy he panted shortly as he leaned on his knees, he stood straight up again and spoke, "Do you know what it is that is making that sound."
"No."
But just as Sean said that word, a large white tiger with black stripes with wings, flew out and into sight.
