Chapter Six: The Joy of Camping With a Bear-rel of Fun!
Davis was walking tiredly through the forest as he collapse on to the dead leaves on the ground. His leg muscles were sore and his eyes drooped. After that incident, they were too afraid to even look back. They even forgot who they left behind . . . Oh yeah, it was Kazu, right?
"Davis, keep running . . ." Takato yelled in a low and tired tone, still clinging on to Davis' jacket. "The Blair Witch could be right behind us . . . Mush."
"So much for the 'sled dog team' idea . . ." Kenta moaned.
"Sled dog team?! We're not even working together! I have to do all the running while you guys just drag behind me," Davis huffed. "Hey, where's Kazu?"
"Dunno. Think the Blair Witch got him?" Takato asked.
"I hope not. Still owes me some money . . ." said Kenta as he suddenly felt something cold grab him by the ankle as he shrieked. "Aaaaagghhh!!!"
Kenta quickly scrambled over Takato and Davis and was about to abandon his 'sled dog team' when Davis grabbed him. "What's the matter with you?!"
"Something eerie and cold grabbed me by the leg!" Kenta panted.
"Sorry, that was me," a familiar voice rang out. They all looked behind them to see Kazu, also lying flat on the ground, with his arm out stretched to them.
"Kazu! You escaped from the Blair Witch!" said Takato, glad to know his friend is safe.
"No thanks to you!" Kazu snapped. "You guys ran off faster than Gatomon when she hears a can opener running!"
"So . . . did you see it?" Davis asked.
"Believe me, the legends are true," Kazu replied, knowing that his face was turning pale at the reminder of that lady. "Hairy old lady with eyes like that is defiantly not normal . . ."
"Hehe, from now on, let's never split up," Takato demanded. " If we do, we'll never get out of this alive without our fear gnawing in the back of our head like this all the time."
" 'All for one and one for all,' right?" said Davis, quoting on that line.
"Right," said Kenta.
They were about to put their hands together to make that promise when-
"AAAAAHHWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" the sound of a wolf howled.
Silence befell on the forest around them after that uncanny wolf howl.
" . . . That's it, I'm running," Takato replied as he got up and ran. Davis jumped from and grabbed him by the leg as Takato fell with a thud on his chest.
"You ain't going be first!" Davis argued, running ahead of him. "Have you forgotten your word?! You said we shouldn't split up!"
Takato caught him by the leg and tripped him as Davis fell on his chest with a thud. "First is the worst; Second is the best!"
They continued on catching each other by the ankle, over and over again, trying to get ahead as Kazu and Kenta just watched them. "So much for 'all for one and one for all,' quote. Doesn't really work on a group of chickens like us at the moment," Kazu admitted.
Suddenly Kenta came to a realization. "Hey, does anybody remember where the campground is?"
The two boys and Kazu went to a sudden halt to think and they finally all answer, "Uh-oh . . ."
" . . . All of you forgot which direction we came from?!" Kenta said in shock. "But we only went a few yards away from them!"
"Yeah, well, being scared silly and out of your wit can get you lost pretty easy when you don't know where you're running," Takato replied. "Let see, we walked from the campground about twenty yards away, then we ran about ten yards to the West where we found those pile of stones and heard that eerie cackle, then ran fifty yards East and then . . . uh, oh I forgot the rest but our leader of the 'sled dog team' was the one in charge of getting us lost!!"
"Hey I was scared out of my goggles to care where I was going!" Davis snorted, folding his arms over his chest.
"Wait, guys, don't worry. I know exactly how to get back to the others," Kazu said calmly.
"How? Got one of those transporting devices like in Star Trek or something?" Davis asked.
"No, but I remember that we past by a thick oak tree with a hole in it and that the others are right around there in a couple of feet away," Kazu answered.
"Well let's start looking," said Takato, smiling as he looked up into the sky. "We'll be able to find it easily with the full moon shinning on us, right guys?"
Kazu hushed, "Shh! Takato, what did I say about spoiling our good fortune? You could j-!"
Suddenly dark eerie clouds that seemed to form a hand quickly consumed and blocked the full moon from shining even a peep of it . . . Now it was total darkness surrounded them. The boys were now only able to identify each other by a faint outline around each other but it's not enough to tell the difference if the person next to you is actually your friend or the Blair Witch.
"-Jinx us . . ."
"Oh, boy . . ." Takato sighed. "Anybody got night vision around here?"
"You see, we could absolutely find an oak tree with a hole in it in a snap with a full moon helping us but without one, we're totally damn lost and minus well marooned," Davis pouted. "Oh well, at least we don't have to be worry about werewolves popping up behind us."
"Except ghosts and shadow lurking creatures."
"Anyone brought garlic and a stake?"
"I'll sure be happy to be back home in my own bed and holding Mr. Teddy close to me right now. . ." Kenta murmured. "And may be in my cowboy pajamas with the night light on . . ."
Kazu thought he heard something. "What was that?"
"Nothing! I didn't say anything about Mr. Teddy and cowboy pajamas!" Kenta hushed up.
"No, I meant I heard something out there . . ." Kazu ignored.
Everyone went silent as they strained their ear to hear what Kazu may have heard. Davis tried cleaning his ears and finally heard the eerie sound that Kazu heard, as well the others now.
"EHEHEhehehehehehehEHEHEHEHEHEHeheheheheheheHEHEHEHEHE!!!!" a woman's cackling was heard.
The four boys could feel the hair along their neck stick straight up when that cackle was sounded through the forest. It was hard to identify where it was coming from but it sounded quite close but sounded like it came from all directions . . . The four boys took their chance to run like a bunch of headless chickens in any direction.
"Every ass for themselves!! Run!!" Davis shouted as he immediately ran.
Takato noticed this and jumped like before and caught Davis by the brims of his jacket. "Wait for me!"
"Me too!" Kenta yelled.
"Me three!" Kazu replied.
They all created like a chain link right behind Davis and they were dragged through the forest behind him. Yep, so much for "all for one and one for all" . . . Only works in the TV shows . . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Veemon, Armadillomon, and Guilmon all slept peacefully and quietly. The only thing stirring was Guilmon's tail, that was slapping from left to right at the end of the sleeping bag. Armadillomon slept on his stomach when he felt someone gave a low kick to his sides.
Armadillomon woke up and looked to see who was the perpetrator. He saw Veemon who was snoring unusually loud . . . that could've been a fake. "Veemon . . ."
"Hmm?" Veemon yawned as he turned around. "What?"
"You kicked me."
"No I didn't. I was sleeping."
"No you weren't! That was a very unusually loud snore for you to be sleeping . . . You kicked me and you know it!!"
"Armadillomon, quit your babbling and go to sleep."
"No I won't!"
"Then what do you want?"
"This!" Armadillomon gave a head-butt to Veemon's skull as he fully woke up with a headache. Usually he didn't get one but now he did. "Ooooh, that hurt! I may have a thick skull but nobody head-butt me!!"
"Then don't kick me!"
"But I didn't!!"
"Yes you did you dense-head!"
"Hill-Billy wannabe accent!!"
"Why you . . .!! Rargh!!"
Veemon leapt on Armadillomon and tackled him as they got into a dust cloud of melee. "I didn't kick anybody!! And why are you blaming me?!?!? Why not Guilmon?!"
Armadillomon stopped. "Guilmon's sleeping."
"But I was sleeping too!!"
"No you weren't!"
Veemon groaned. "You always blame me!! Why me?!? Me?!"
"Cause you're always the one who cause trouble!!"
"Trouble?! I'll show you trouble!! Bragh!!"
Armadillomon and Veemon's dust cloud of melee finally woke up Guilmon as he moaned and turned around, giving a wide dinosaur yawn, showing all his little sharp tooth and large tongue for slurping. "Morning already? What time is it?"
Aramdillomon snarled, "Time to kill Veemon!!"
And Veemon roared, "Time to kill Aramdillomon!!"
Guilmon then concluded it was, "Oh, time to go back to sleep. Night, night."
Meanwhile . . . Calumon is still up in the tree . . . I think.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Feathers still fluttered in the air. Pillow case shreds torn all over the floor. Beelzemon and Cyberdramon just went through the most horrible and exhausting pillow fight of the year, using only two of their last pillows. In the end, no one was a winner.
Cyberdramon was on his stomach with his chin out as he lied there, panting and groaning, "Are you *wheez* ready to *gasp* surrender, Beelzemon?"
Beelzemon, with his face in the ground with feathers all over him, he answered, "*gasp* Never . . ."
"*wheez* Die you old son of a . . ." Cyberdramon couldn't finish it because he was too tired to say the rest of the sentence and let it hang in the air.
"Yeah, yeah," Beelzemon coughed, spitting feathers out of his mouth. Suddenly he coughed up with more feathers coming out from his stomach. "Hey, how the heck did I get this much feather down my throat?"
"Remember? I said I'd jam the pillow down your throat if you didn't give the pillow to me . . ." Cyberdramon reminded.
"Oh yeah . . . Here," said Beelzemon, handing him something without even looking up. "You can have the pillow."
What Beelzemon handed to Cyberdramon was a pillow case and some feathers, or what was left of that pillow anyway.
" . . . It's flat."
"Yeah. You can have it."
"I wanted a full and fluffed pillow to sleep on!"
"Tough luck."
"Though luck?! It's your fault in the beginning of not giving me the pillow in the first place!" Cyberdramon snarled, getting up to snap at Beelzemon.
"Oh, shut your trap and get to sleep. I'm dead exhausted."
"You demonic bastard!"
"Well then bite me why dontcha!?" Beelzemon snapped.
"Where and how hard?!" Cyberdramon roared as he took a futile lunge at Beelzemon's leg before he moved it.
"Oh, you slug slime dragon! Take this!"
Beelzemon jumped Cyberdramon and started punching him in the side of the neck.
Cyberdramon quickly grabbed him and threw him over his shoulders with a slam as the demon lied sprawled over the floor leaving an opening for the dragon.
"Bonzai!!"
Cyberdramon leapt and elbowed him right in the sides and started mauling on his tail. Cyberdramon then ravaged and clawed at Beelzemon.
"Oh, agh!! You dirty low-life dog! Fancy this!"
Beelzemon did something so horrible to inflict pain that made the toughest, vicious, carnivorous, and tenacious dragon in the whole world to howl this awful cry of agony and pain.
" . . . Oops, I didn't know it hurt on a dragon that much."
As Cyberdramon howled, the creature behind the bushes heard them. Possibly Cyberdramon's story telling about the werewolf was a foreshadowing of it's presence, as this creature crept from the forest and head throughout the neighborhood of tents to find fresh, tender, delicious, meat to chew on while it was alive.
It ruffled it's head through the first large tent door to see three Digimon sleeping silently. The creature judged how much flesh in here was to fill up it's stomach but to only identify Lopmon, Gatomon, and Renamon as scrawny, since they were too small or skinny to get any real meat off from them. The creature gave an annoyed growl as it moved on, leaving the tent and going to the next one.
As it did, Renamon's eyes blinked open as she got up from her dream (Of pounding the tar out of Beelzemon with a baseball bat). "Something was here . . ."
Lopmon woke up from Renamon's voice. "Something was here? *yawn* Like what?"
Renamon retraced what she could remember as evidence of something being here. "I don't know."
Gatomon heard the two of them as she stretched and got up. "What's the matter?"
"Renamon thought she heard someone coming into our tent," said Lopmon.
"Let me check," Gatomon volunteered, as she got out of her bed and went to the tent's door. She took a few sniffs of it and said, "Someone was here."
"Who? What? When?" said Lopmon.
"Not sure. Hmmm, hey, I see something out there!" Gatomon jumped, looking out the door.
Renamon and Lopmon jumped up to see what Gatomon was talking about. They looked out the door to see only a faint light of the moon shining upon them. But that was enough to notice the perpetrator that was passing and entering tents one by one.
"Look! What is that?" asked Lopmon.
Renamon tried to remember the name of this forest creature. She heard it from Rika once, she said it was a ferocious and meat-eating creature with claws and lots of fur, resembling a Grizzmon. Plus this is what Davis would describe Yolei as. Finally Renamon remembered what this creature was called. "Now I remember. I think it's called a Bear."
"A bear? Well, it doesn't look THAT harmful, compared to all the other Digimon we faced through. It looks like it's looking for food or something," implied Gatomon.
"We're lucky that it didn't eat us," Lopmon sighed a relief.
"Should we scare it away?" said Gatomon, shining her nails to be ready.
"No, bears are harmless unless provoked. Besides, I wonder if it'll bite Veemon or Beelzemon . . ." Renamon pondered.
"What about Terriermon?" asked Lopmon.
"He's too scrawny so the bear won't eat him," she answered. "Anyone wanna place bets on who gets attack by the bear?"
"Ooooh, hundred yens that it attacks Veemon and bites him on the tail!" Gatomon smiled.
"I'll still bet Terriermon will get chased so I'll place five-hundred yens on him," Lopmon smirked.
Renamon had the biggest grin across her face as she said, "Well, I'll bet one-thousand yens that Beelzemon gets snapped on the butt, clawed and mauled all over his body, clothes torn to bits again, and humped by this mother bear."
"Wow, that's a very large chance you're risking. You sure that it'll ALL happen?" asked Gatomon.
"I'll even add a five-hundred yen if it's not done in order," Renamon smiled.
Lopmon and Gatomon looked at each other. "I think we're gonna be rich after this!"
"Quick! Let's grab some sodas and snacks and watch this up in the tree!" Gatomon shouted in glee with excitement. "I'll snatch the sodas!"
"I'll get the popcorn and snacks!" Lopmon shouted.
"And I'll get us some seats in the trees," said Renamon as she quickly ran out of the tent.
The bear had snooped into Bokomon's tent to see more scrawny ones in that tent and moved to the next one. This one, Hawkmon's group, was also too scrawny and it smelled like someone took a leak in it; The bear didn't bother to go into Guilmon's tent because she heard fighting in there, possibly wanting to put up a fight before they get eaten. The bear was about to give up it's late night meal raid and leave the campground when she suddenly heard two loud voices from a particularly small tent.
"Oh gawd, why'd you kick me there . . . ?" Cyberdramon groaned, clutching that particular spot on his body in pain.
Beelzemon said, "How was I suppose to know that even MALE dragons were weak in the groin too? I thought it only worked on us Digimon that looked human. Heh, now that I think about it, I never was kicked in the groin before . . . How does it feel?"
'HOW DOES IT FEEL?!?!?! IS THAT A SARCASTIC REMARK OR SOMETHING?!?!?!' he thought in sheer agony from his own problem. Cyberdramon's eyes would've twitched and changed from agony to rage if you saw them through his helmet. "Well how about you stand straight and put your legs apart and experience how 'it' feels to be KICKED there by a seven foot dragon with it's foot up your little ba-?!"
"Shhhh!! I hear something!" said Beelzemon, suddenly hearing leaves crunching from outside.
"Oh, quit your bawling and spread your legs apart!" said Cyberdramon enraged, as he stood up and was ready to give Beelzemon a world of hurt.
"No, be quiet! Someone is coming our way," said Beelzemon.
"Well then shut off the lantern in here!" Cyberdramon ordered.
Beelzemon went over and turned down the lantern as it slowly went to a small flame and extinguished. The noise ruffled outside as they heard the dead leaves crunched under the footing of this creature or whomever it was outside.
"You think it's Guardromon?" asked Beelzemon.
"Nah. Once he shuts off and go to sleep, someone has to kick him up to wake him," Cyberdramon answered. "He's like an old broken down computer."
"Yeah, gotta kick them a couple of times so they can work," said Beelzemon. (My computer has this problem but of course, ALL computers have this problem!)
"Speaking of 'kicking a couple of times' . . ." Cyberdramon remembered. "Open your legs so I can give you one!!"
"Shush!!"
The sounds of leaves crunching were getting louder and closer.
"You go check it out," Beelzemon ordered.
"Me? Why me? I'm the one in pain right now . . ." Cyberdramon moaned.
"Fine, you baby dragon, I'll check it out," Beelzemon huffed.
Cyberdramon resented that comment, being called as 'baby dragon', and was furious. "Baby dragon this!" Cyberdramon kicked Beelzemon behind the butt, pushing him right into the tent's door. At least he was able to give a kick into Beelzemon but for some reason, instead of falling through the tent door and laying flat on the ground with mud in your face from the outside, Beelzemon landed on something big and furry with a wet nose.
Cyberdramon had a sweat drop hanging from his head. "What the . . ."
Beelzemon stood up correctly to see what stopped his fall. "Whoa . . ."
The bear was angered by the intrusion and expected to find silence among his prey but not tonight. It walked right into the tent, passing by Guardromon and blocking the exit and entrance, letting no one in or out. It gave a deep growling purr in its throat as it stared at the two strange preys.
Cyberdramon's voice quivered. "B-Beelzemon . . . That w-wouldn't happen to be the same b-bear from t-today, is it?"
Beelzemon checked as he pulled his undershirt up, looked at the slash mark, and compared it to the claws that the bear had. "Yep, it's the same mother bear I tried to shoot."
"Grrrrrr . . ." the ferocious, toothsome, bear growled, almost as if it understood what he had just said.
"Beelzemon, you've known her longer than I have so talk to her," Cyberdramon insisted as he pushed him forward.
"Me?! I hardly know her and she tried to EAT me!!" Beelzemon yelled, but yelling only angered the bear even further. "And I don't think you can actually MAKE friends with something you're about to EAT!!!"
"GGGGGRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!"
"Do something you stupid dragon! You're the fiercest and bloodlust dragon around here so kill it!" Beelzemon shoved, in a panicked way.
"I would but if you DID remember, you kicked me right in the groin!!!" Cyberdramon shouted.
"So?!"
A large vein mark popped behind the back of his head, showing his anger and rage. "So . . . IT HURTS LIKE DAMN HELL THAT I WANT AN ICE PACK TO GO WITH IT!!! DUH!!! YOU SON OF A- !!!"
This time the bear slashed from the right, hoping to knock off their heads to shut them up but missed by a blond hair as Beelzemon ducked. "Jeez, trim your nails, woman!!"
"GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!" giving a longer vicious roar.
"We can't get out of here . . ." Cyberdramon stated.
"Right, back door?!" Beelzemon implied.
Cyberdramon gulped. "Back door."
Beelzemon's claws sharpened as he prepared to slash the back of the tent.
"SHRIIIP!!"
"KIIIIN!!"
The back of the tent was shredded open as the two Digimon ran out screaming, "RUN!!! WAKE UP EVERYONE!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! THERE'S A BEAR!!! A BEAR!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Renamon was up in the tree and munching on her popcorns. "Hurry up you two! The show is starting!"
"It is?" said Gatomon, carrying her soda. "Did the bear get Veemon yet?"
"What about Terriermon?" asked Lopmon.
Renamon pulled the both of them up on to the tree branch. "So far the bear attacked Beelzemon's tent and is chasing him and Cyberdramon. Not bad for an opening of a show."
"AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!! Cyberdramon, quick! Let's hide in here!" Beelzemon planned.
"Fine! Sounds good to me right about now!!"
Beelzemon grabbed Cyberdramon and pulled them into the tent and landing right on top of Patamon_F, Patamon, Nehmon, and Bokomon, crushing ALL of them and their bones. The two Patamons looked like deflated bat-pig balloons under Cyberdramon as they gasped for air. x__x . . .
"Bah!! What in the names of my pink belt- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!" Bokomon shouted, from the rude awakening.
"Oh, gah!! I can't feel my legs anymore!! Get off of me! Get off of me! Get off of me! Waaaahhhh!!" Nehmon screamed, when suddenly the whole entire roof of the tent was torn off by the brutality and strength of an angry mother bear as she gave a deep roar of anger. "HOLY SOCKS!!!"
"Vamoose!! Scram!! Flee!! Mush!! Run for your freakin' life!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Beelzemon warned as he ran, tripped, tumbled, and crashed into another tent as it was brought down on him. "Agh!! The bear got me! It got me! Agh!"
Cyberdramon sighed. " . . . Idiot. I should've never trusted my life in his hands." He then got to his feet, and went to climb up a tree. "I knew I should've climbed the tree in the first place . . ."
"Hmmm, Cyberdramon is smart as least, thinking about climbing a tree," said Renamon.
"Yeah but there's one problem: Can't bears climb trees?" said Gatomon.
"Hahaha! Too bad for Beelzemon. He should've followed me!" Cyberdramon grinned. " . . . Huh?"
The bear chased up to the tree he was in and started clawing and climbing up to Cyberdramon.
"Agh! Bears can climb?! No! Not a full grown bear! Can't be!! Down! Down! Down girl, down!!" Cyberdramon squealed as he climbed higher. "Damn you, Beelzemon!! Why did you have to do that body slam on my wings?! They're already tattered enough!"
"Beelzemon!!" Terriermon shouted, awaken from the crazy demon that was in his tent.
"Ugh . . . Sorry, I thought it was the bear," said Beelzemon.
"Might wanna help your friend up there . . ." said MarineAngemon, pointing up to the tree.
Beelzemon exclaimed, "Cyberdramon!!"
"It'll be your damn fault if she eats me!!" Cyberdramon shouted, swinging from the top of the tree as the bear was getting closer. "I'll be sure to haunt you in your dreams when I'm a dead ghost!!!"
"I wish I had my guns . . ." Beelzemon thought. "Wait a minute, I got an idea!"
Beelzemon grabbed Bokomon. "I'll need to use you!"
"Pardon?!" Bokomon asked.
Beelzemon pulled Bokomon by the pink belt and stretched it like a rubber band, aiming right toward the mother bear. "Here goes nothin'!"
Bokomon realized it finally. "Oh my!! Are you-!!"
"PING!!"
"BWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Bokomon went soaring through the air like a pebble in a slingshot towards the bear. The bear saw the incoming attack and swatted Bokomon away like a fly and into the dirt.
"Oh! Ack! Bah! Agh! Blah!!" Bokomon skid to a halt in the dirt with his face. "Ooooooooooooh . . . . . . . . . ."
The bear was angry and went down to chase after Beelzemon.
"Aww, crap!!" Beelzemon started running again as fast as he could with the angry mother bear behind him.
"Thanks, Beelzemon!! You're a brave mon!!" Cyberdramon shouted.
"You mean it?!" he asked, still running.
"No. I was being sarcastic you spoony bard!!"
"Oh . . . Hey, who ya callin' a spoony bard, huh?!"
"Beelzemon, look out!!" Patamon warned.
"Huh? Whoa!" Beelzemon dashed without looking and crashed right into Guilmon's tent and tearing it all down. "Whoops! Ack! Oh, sorry! Waaah!!"
"What the- Beelzemon?! What are you doing here? Are you having a nightmare again? Need to sleep in here?" asked Guilmon.
"No! I'm being chased by a bear!" Beelzemon shouted as he noticed the two fighting Digimon. "Hey, what are you two horn dogs doing there?"
By now Armadillomon was winning as he smothered Veemon's head with a pillow as the little blue dragon clawed at him weakly as he suffocated. "Nothin'. Just settling a fight."
"You guys need to get out of here anyway so let's move it!" Beelzemon pushed Guilmon. "There's a bear heading this way!"
"It's a sarcastic remark, Guilmon, so ignore him," Veemon scuffled from under the pillow. "Armadillomon?"
"Yeah? What?"
Veemon tried to breathed a gulp before he said, "Damn you neurotic cowboy accented Digimon!! I did NOT kick you!!!"
Armadillomon with all his might smothered Veemon even more with the pillow. "Stupid blue dragon!! Die!! Just die!! Die!!"
"No I'm not jokin'!! I'm really, really, really, being chased by a bear!!" Beelzemon emphasized how real he was. He pulled Veemon right out from under Armadillomon's smothering and shoved his head right outside to see-
Veemon's eyes popped wide open when he was facing- "Holy cow!!"
"No, it's a bear," said Guilmon as he looked outside.
"Bear!! Bear!! Bear!! Bear!! Bear!!" Veemon shouted like a fire alarm.
"Well, duh!! That's what I've been tellin' ya!!"
Veemon turned around and started running and screaming but Beelzemon still had a hold of him. "Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!!"
Suddenly the bear tore it's head into the tent and snarled before it snapped right on to Veemon's tail with an excruciating crunch with his tail snapping in five places.
0_0!!!!!!!!!
Veemon screamed a powerful yelp of pain. "YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!", jumping sky-high into the air like a rocket through the ceiling of the tent, almost hitting into Calumon up there in the tree.
Guilmon looked up to watch Veemon. "Oooh, birdie."
"Haha, I won that bet," Gatomon smiled. "Veemon got snapped."
"Wait till you see Terriermon," said Lopmon.
The mother bear exhaled steam from her nostrils at Beelzemon, as she took another swipe at Beelzemon.
"Whoa!"
The bear missed but slapped Armadillomon right out the tent and into a tree with a-
"WHAP-POW!!"
Armadillomon gave a low moan, "Ooooh, anybody got the license plate number of that truck . . ."
"Guilmon, you distract it while I go run!" Beelzemon ordered. "Now!"
Beelzemon jumped up and ran out of the tent.
"But Beelzemon, I can't do that because-" Guilmon said before interrupted.
Beelzemon ran away as fast as possible before Guilmon groaned, "Oh well, I told him I can't because can't fight on an empty stomach. Hmmm, which reminds me, midnight snack time!" Guilmon then left to go raid into his private food cooler for some snacks. "MMMmmmmm, Guilmon Bread . . ."
Veemon came back to Earth and landed on his butt before he started running in circles with tears streaming down his face. "Ohhhhh, it hurts!! It hurts!! It hurts!!"
"Well it looks like Terriermon tonight won't be chased then since it wants Beelzemon," Gatomon smiled. "Guess I won't have to pay on that bet to you , Lopmon. Hehehehehehehehe!!"
"Don't be too sure," said Lopmon, thinking of the most devious way to get her money. She would do anything to get that summed of money she betted on and even lie, cheat, or steal. She stood up and held a bottle of something in her small arms. "Hey, bear!!"
Terriermon noticed Lopmon in the tree. "Lopmon?!"
The bear galloped after Beelzemon when it heard something getting her attention. "Ruh?"
"Eat this!" Lopmon squeezed the bottle of oozing yellow that coated Terriermon's fur from above.
"Bwah!! Hey what the- Lopmon what did you put on me?!?!" Terriermon shouted. "Better not be something from the toilet!! *sniff* Huh? Smells kinda sweet . . ."
Lopmon then gave a small squirt of it on to the bear's nose. The bear retaliated from it but suddenly realized what was on her nose. She licked it off and gave a warm purr in herself.
"If you want more, of that, here! Terriermon, catch!" Lopmon threw the bottle down to Terriermon as he caught it in his hands.
Terriermon read the label on the bottle. "HONEY!?!?!?!?!?"
The bear now saw Terriermon as a scrumptious snack of Honey Covered Rabbit dinner for dessert as it licked it's chops before it went right after Terriermon.
"Huh? Bwaaaahhhh!!!" Terriermon made haste as he ran around covered in honey. "Looopppmmooonnn!!!"
Lopmon giggled in delight. "I guess I get my share of money."
Renamon and Gatomon gave a glare.
"You didn't have to cheat," Gatomon replied.
"It was bound to happen anyway."
"Bound that Terriermon was to be covered in honey toe to ear?" said Renamon.
Beelzemon was hiding and thinking of a way to escape with some of the other mons that were still 'alive' and here at least. So far he could only make a count of MarineAngemon, Wormmon, Bokomon, Patamon_F and Patamon, Nehmon, Hawkmon, Veemon, and himself who were safely hiding here in the bushes . . .
"So what do we do?" asked Wormmon.
"I don't know. All I know is that we need a plan and a distraction," said Beelzemon.
"Well Terriermon is doing a heck of a job out there," said Hawkmon.
"Hey, you Patamons! I want you guys to think of a plan and you got 2 minutes because we don't have much time before Terriermon gets eaten and the bear decides to eat us next," Beelzemon ordered.
"Us?!" Patamon said in shock.
"Yes and I'm putting all our lives on your itty-bitty shoulders to make up and decide on a plan," said Beelzemon. "Simple as that, got that?"
0_0;;; "We're doomed," gulped Patamon_F.
"Hey that's not a plan!" said Nehmon.
"First thing first, we need to save our other friends out there before they get eaten," said Hawkmon.
"Right, okay then, I'll go," volunteered Beelzemon. "If anybody is the fastest to outrun that bear, it's me."
"Good luck!" said Nehmon.
"What did I tell you about wishing me good luck? It's for wusses," Beelzemon snorted.
"Good luck, Beelzemon! Godspeed! Godspeed, Beelzemon!!" all the Digimon shouted. "Whoooo!"
"Oi . . . They don't learn," Beelzemon sighed as he jumped out of the bushes and headed toward Armadillomon at the base of the tree to pick him up.
"How's that plan?" MarineAngemon asked the Patamons.
The two bat-pigs were under pressured and trembled like the whole world would collapse. "You gave us TWO minutes to think of a plan!! TWO minutes!! You're wasting our precious minutes!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Let us think!! Shoo!! Agh!!!" Patamon shouted in a panicked and cracked tone.
The other Digimon did not expect this unnatural behavior.
" . . . Sounds like Yolei when she's on her cellphone," Hawkmon remembered. "She has a bad cellphone plan."
"She could use Midol, ya know . . ." Veemon thoughtfully suggested.
"Veemon, I don't think Midol would help in Yolei's case because she does not have . . ." Hawkmon realized what Veemon meant and scowled as he whacked Veemon behind the head. "Do not speak of Yolei like that!!"
"What? It's the truth . . . She could use Mi-!!"
Another blow to the back of the head by Hawkmon and Veemon is out cold. "She is not on that week of the month thing yet!! Shame on you, you cretin!!"
Suddenly Patamon_F thought of a plan. "Ah!! Hide in there! Hide in there! Bear won't know where!!"
"Huh? Where, Patamon_F," asked Bokomon.
"Come and see! Come and see!!" Patamon_F lead the way. "Follow me! Follow me! Follow the leader!"
" . . . Ever noticed the leaders in these story turns out to be sort of a false hero or dud?" Wormmon thought as he followed reluctantly.
"In a comedic one, yes," MarineAngemon replied. "Are we in a comedic story."
"Wormmon checked. "Yes."
Hawkmon dragged Veemon along. "I preferred to leave you behind for the bear to find."
Beelzemon had rushed over and rescued already Armadillomon, Guilmon (who was eating bread quite happily without noticing his surroundings of screams and roars), and finally Terriermon as he was now chased by the bear.
"Ewww, what did you covered your self with?!" Beelzemon asked.
"Me?! Lopmon did it!!" Terriermon retorted.
"Oh, wait a sec- Where's the girls?!" Beelzemon finally remembered.
"Up here!!" someone shouted.
"Huh?!" Beelzemon looked up to see Renamon, Lopmon, and Gatomon who were sitting up in the trees and watching him from up above. "Renamon?! Lopmon?! Gatomon?! What hell are you guys doin' up there?!"
"Watching," Gatomon quickly answered.
"Watchin'?!?! Watchin' what?!"
"You of course. We're betting on who got bitten by the bear so far," Lopmon grinned. "Oh I forgot, thank you, Terriermon!"
Terriermon looked up in a dazed honey-covered look. "You owe me for this . . ."
"You've been betting on me?!" Beelzemon shouted with rage.
"Only I did," said Renamon. "So far I'm waiting."
"Hey Beelzemon, the bear is coming after you," said Gatomon. " . . . Or is it coming ON to you . . . Hehehehe," she teased him.
"Ha!! If ya thinking that'll happen, you're seriously dead wrong!! As IF the bear would get me!! Or even ON to me . . . Ha!! Renamon, you are so gonna lose on your bet!!" Beelzemon laughed. "Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-YEEEOOOOUUUCCHHHH!!!"
Beelzemon suddenly was overwhelmed with pain in the rear as the mother bear had finally caught up to Beelzemon, giving a bone crunching snap that Beelzemon screamed in pain and dropped the other Digimon in his hands to the ground.
"Ow! Watch it! I'm injured," said Armadillomon.
Renamon gave a small nod. "Phase 1 of my bet is done . . . Phase 2 . . ."
"Oh no not a again-!!" Beelzemon screamed as the bear pulled him down and started clawing and mauling him all over. "Ahhhh!! No! Not the face!! Bah!! Ow!! No, not my jacket!! This is a genuine- Agh!! No!!!"
"Phase 2 is completed . . ." Renamon smirked.
The bear then dragged a clawed, mauled, torn, and chewed Beelzemon by the pant leg and into the forest as Beelzemon helplessly digs his finger into the ground screaming for mercy. "Noooooooo!!! What are you doing?!?! Oh no, you're not dragging me back there!! Ahh!! No, not back at your place!! Please!! No! No! Nooooooooo!!" Then Beelzemon disappeared behind the bushes as he was dragged away by the mother bear and back to the cave.
Everyone watched as Beelzemon was dragged away screaming.
" . . . That sounded like Beelzemon on a first date . . ." said Armadillomon.
"With an ugly broad he didn't like . . ." Terriermon managed to add in.
"Hello!" Patamon_F came flying up to them. "Come and see! Come and see! We can hide in there!"
Patamon_F pointed over to the house near the lake.
"The bathing lodge?! We're gonna be hiding in the bathing lodge?!" shouted Terriermon.
"Better in the lodge then in hungry bear's tummy!" Patamon_F replied as he flew back to the lodge.
"Well I suppose we should follow," said Renamon as she quickly went over there through the treetops.
"We're right behind ya," Gatomon and Lopmon replied as they followed.
"Meh, let's go," said Armadillomon as he scurried.
Guilmon was about to follow when he remembered something. "Oh, I forgot."
Guilmon went and climbed up a tree near his old tent and picked up the bag that held Calumon. "Almost forgot you . . . Calumon? Oh, Calumon . . . ?"
Guilmon opened the bag and dipped his head inside to look. "Hey, where's Calumon?!"
All he found was a large hole in the bottom of the burlap sack.
"Come on, Guilmon, get inside before the bear comes back!" shouted Veemon.
"Coming!" said Guilmon as he ran over to the lodge. 'Where could he be?'
"Cyberdramon?! You're still up there?!" Renamon shouted in disbelief.
"Well I'm pretty much stuck up here!!" Cyberdramon answered from the top of the tree.
"Come down here! It's a lot safer!" shouted Nehmon.
"Okay!" Cyberdramon jumped off and landed through the bathroom lodge's roof and into a bathtub with roof shingles and paste falling through.
"You do know the door was open, right?" asked Renamon.
"Yeah but jumping through the roof is easier," said Cyberdramon.
0_o;;; "How would that be considered 'easier'?"
All the Digimon were now safely and hidden inside the bathroom-lodge for the rest of the night. Well, except for Beelzemon, Calumon who is missing and . . . Oh yeah, Guardromon is still outside sleeping.
Guardromon was untouched and unawake as he sat there sleeping without even noticing there WAS a racket of mayhem around him. " . . . "
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, back to Takato, Kazu, Kenta, and Davis . . . They still wandered aimlessly through the dark forest. They still haven't figured out how to get back and where the oak tree with a hole in it was.
"Hey, Takato," asked Kazu.
"What?" said Takato.
"Which is worse: East or West?" Kazu stated.
"What do you mean?" Takato asked, not understanding what he meant.
"Well, we've been going down South so we should try to go either East or West," Kazu answered. "So I was wondering, since we might still be chased by the Blair Witch, which witch is worse? Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?"
Takato thought quietly before he answered, "Um, Wicked Witch of the West I guess. Because that witch did try to takeover all of Oz and-"
"Okay, I don't need an explanation so let's go East then," said Kazu as he decided to go East.
"His logic of directions are worse than mine," Davis whispered to Takato. "I wouldn't go neither East or West if there was a witch on each end. I'm heading North."
"Davis, we just came from the North," Takato stated.
"Okay, I'll go South," Davis answered.
"There's nothing much in the South."
"Fine, I'll West."
"There's the Wicked Witch of the West."
"Okay, East!"
"Wicked Witch of the East."
"Then where are we going?!"
"To go visit the Wicked Witch of the East," Kenta answered bluntly. "Duh!"
Davis sighed, "But you said there's a witch in the East and then the West and- Wait a minute! Is there even a Wicked Witch of the East?! Gawd! We're a bunch of marooned people in the forest with witches chasing after us from East to West!"
"Hey, you think we'll encounter a gingerbread house with a witch living in there?" asked Kazu.
"You mean the one from Hansel and Gretel?" asked Takato.
"Maybe because I'm starting to get hungry . . ." Kenta groaned.
Suddenly another blood-curdling laughter was sounded out through the forest. "Nya-Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!"
0_0!!!
"When will this nightmare end . . . ?" Kenta whimpered.
"Who the hell is making that cackling?! It's already getting tiresome here and annoying too!!" Davis shouted.
"Davis, it's not a good time to be arguing with the mysterious cackling person that we can't see!!" Takato replied as he grabbed Davis and ran with Kazu and Kenta.
"Hey! We're heading West!!" Davis reminded.
"Oops! Wrong way! Go East! Go East everybody! East!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
"You're starting a fire? But what about Kazu, Kenta, Takato, and Davis? I thought they were bringing the fire supplies," said Ken.
"They probably wouldn't come back with it," answered Takuya, who recently had woken up. "They're probably playing out there and forgot all about what they were suppose to do. Besides, I finally found some rocks and sticks to make one and everyone is cold. As soon as they return, I'm deciding that we should all start our trek back into finding civilization at least. We can't just live on eating these dried peas and powdered milk from the emergency supplies for the rest of the time."
"I don't even consider this is food . . ." J.P. whined, now awake and off the kids.
"We should've never the 3 Stooges and Goggle-Head #2 go off by themselves . . . They can't even get themselves out of a paper bag even if they had a pair of scissors with them."
"They're not that dumb," Cody gasped, still wishing he packed an inhaler ever since J.P. had sat on him. "Are they?"
"Mmm, with Davis in the lead, Takato a push-over, Kenta a wimp, and Kazu as second-in-command of the four gluttons, they're already lost out there somewhere and dead with wolves chewing on their fingers," said Rika sourly, as she warmed herself near the fire.
"Rika!" Ryo scolded.
"Oh you know it's true!"
"Yeah but I wouldn't say it . . ." Ryo replied, not wanting to admit it.
"You just did."
"I did n . . ." Ryo then slap himself on the forehead. "Oh boy . . ."
Hey is Kouji going to be fine?" asked Kouichi.
Kouji lied on the gurney that once held Kari as he seemed out cold and half- dead because of Zoe's wrath. He got pretty beaten up and now was dead tired.
"He'll be okay. Zoe let him off easy at least," answered J.P.
"How can you say that?!" Kouichi asked.
"Trust me. After being slapped, kicked, punched, wailed on, pounded on, and stomped on by Zoe because rejections after rejections, I welcome death any time she does so," J.P. whispered so Zoe wouldn't listen.
"Ouchie."
"What was that, J.P. . . ." Zoe asked, hearing her name.
"Nothing."
Zoe watched J.P. suspiciously.
"See what I mean?" J.P. managed to whisper.
Yolei had finally woken up from passing out cold after being drugged by Davis when he spiked her water canteen for fun. "Oh man . . . I got the biggest hangover ever . . . That's the last time I'm letting Davis handle my drinks . . . Hey, where's Kari and T.K.?"
Tommy tried to recall the last time he saw them two love birds. "I heard them saying something about reenacting the story of Sleeping Beauty or something . . ."
" . . . Dear gawd. If Davis heard that about Kari and T.K. . . ." Yolei thought aloud.
Takuya shrugged. "Well, T.K. could always learn from the best like Tarzan of how to live out here in the forest."
"I thought Tarzan lives in the jungle," said Tommy.
" . . . You get my point, right? T.K. is pretty much gonna want to live out here like nature boy because of Davis."
Henry noticed Suzi was sitting beside herself working on something secretly over at the edge of their camp. "Suzi, what are you doing?"
Suzi turned around and looked up at her bigger brother. "I'm bored."
"Yes, but what are you doing?" asked Henry.
"This." Suzi showed Henry what she was working on. "I have no toys here to play with so I made dolls."
"Hey, that actually looks like Kazu," said Henry, noticing the visor made out of a leaf on it's head and a cross shape on the body like his shirt.
"Yeah but I messed up on it," said Suzie. "The eyes are crooked and he looks too fat."
"Hehe, maybe you should've gotten a smaller stick," Henry chuckled.
Suddenly Henry heard voices from the distant. "Funny. I hear Kazu."
"There's no place like home!! There's no place like home!! There's no place like home!!! THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!" Kazu screamed when suddenly-
"BAM!!!"
"CRASH!!!"
Kazu had rushed right into Henry and crashed into him and fell forward into a tree. Henry was ran over and lied sprawled on the ground as Kazu's body formed an imprint into the tree.
"Kazu!! What the hell are you doing running like that?!" Davis shouted as he ran to him and pulled him out of the tree.
Kazu was a blubbering idiot now as he lied there mumbling, "Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?! Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?! Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?!"
Davis just sighed. "Even HE makes me look smarter . . . Okay Kazu, snap out of it."
Henry got up and rubbed his head. "Gawd, what's wrong with him? Kazu, watch where you're going."
"Henry!" Takato shouted in delight. "Finally! We're back! We got lost in the forest and got chased by the Blair Witch!!"
"Blair Witch? Takato, you know it's only a legend," Henry laughed. "The Blair Witch only exists in Maryland, not here in Tokyo, Japan."
"Well tell that to the witch who was chasing us!!" Kenta shouted as he hid behind Suzi.
"Are you scared?" asked Suzi. "I thought big boys don't get scared."
"Well I'm not a big boy! I'm a little boy who sleeps with the night-light on, and a teddy bear name Mr. Teddy, and with his cowboy pajamas on!!" Kenta confessed.
" . . . "
"What?!"
"Nothing . . ." Suzi said quietly.
Davis gave Kazu a couple of swipes and slaps across his face to wake him up. When that didn't work, Davis punched him in the face.
"Ow! Ugh, that hurt . . ." Kazu mumbled finally when he got out of his trance.
"Well, duh!" said Davis.
"Kazu! Kazu! Look! I made a doll of you," Suzie showed Kazu.
Kazu looked to see his mini-self made of sticks and leaves. "Aaagghhh!! Put it away! Put it away!! I hate stick figure dolls!!" Suddenly Kazu went back going insane again.
Suzi pouted. "Hmph! I knew the eyes were too crossed."
"Either that or he has Automatonophobia," Takato thought.
"Since when have you been a smart one?" asked Kazu.
"Well ever since my parents got a computer, and then the internet, I've been surfing through the net looking through these stuff and . . . - Hey, what do you mean 'since when'? Haven't I been smart these time?"
"No."
"Well I'm a lot smarter than you . . ." Takato nudged.
"Nuh-uh!" Kazu shouted back.
"Uh-huh!" Takato snapped.
"Moron!"
"Baka!"
"Push-over!"
"Flunky!"
"Mama's boy!"
"Visor-Head!"
"Yolei wearing glasses mama's boy!!"
"They're goggles, stupid!! Duh!!"
"Hey, what's all the yelling over here?" asked Yolei as she ran over with Tommy, Ken, and Takuya. "And I heard my name. What's that about?"
"We're alive! We're alive!" shouted the delirious Kazu as he leapt to Yolei's foot and held them in his arm. "Oh, if we stick as a group, no Blair Witch will try to kill us then!! Whooo!! She won't be able to stick needles into our voodoo doll butts like pin cushions!!"
" . . . What?" Ken asked in a confused tone.
"I didn't punch him hard enough . . ." Davis cracking some knuckles, as he was warming them up.
"It's a long story," Kenta told Ken. "Good for a ghost story but we'll have to edit a couple of things out."
"Great! You guys are back!" Takuya cheered with Tommy. "Hey, we can finally get back on our trek to find civilization. Where were you?"
"Eat first, then talk," Takato simply replied.
"Sorry, but we just ate," Takuya replied. "Well, if you considered swallowing dried peas in a pack and powdered milk that was part of the emergency supplies as food . . ."
"Hey, is Kari awake?" asked Davis as he dragged Kazu behind him. "Where is she?"
"Ummm . . ." Yolei silently thought.
Tommy bounced from his spot. "You mean Kari and T.K.? Oh! They're right behind that tree reenacting Sleeping-!!"
T.K. quickly ran up and slapped his hand over the little boy's mouth. "Shhh!"
"T.K.!! There you are! You wouldn't believe what I went through," Davis smiled at the sight of his friend.
"Great, did you have fun?" T.K. asked a bit nervously, hoping Tommy wouldn't leap to tell Davis. Tommy was annoyed by this action. "Ewww, Tommy don't try licking my hand!"
Tommy then pulled T.K.'s hand lower as he bit into his finger. T.K. gave a whimper of pain as he shook his hand vigorously. "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Hey, there's something different about you . . ." Davis immediately noticed, not taking any notice of the scene with T.K. and Tommy. "Where' your hat?"
"Uh, my hat?" T.K. pat his head to notice he didn't have his hat on. "Uhhhh . . ." It must've fallen off when they were behind the tree reenacting 'Sleeping Beauty' and when they got to the kissing part . . . Well, T.K. didn't notice his hat fell off when Kari and him were smooching . . . "Uh, my hat? Well, uh, you see it's-"
"-right here, T.K.," said Kari as she came walking up to him and thrusting against his chest like a football. "You dropped it over there."
"Oh, uh, yeah. Hehehe," T.K. nervously chuckled as he put it back on. 'Davis would kill me if he knew . . .'
"Oh, hi Davis," Kari said innocently, taking notice of her friend there.
"Kari you're awake!" Davis hugged but Kari stepped out of the way. Davis shrugged it off. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Kari smiled.
"So how long have you been awake? Is Zoe awake yet? What have you been doing since I was gone?" he asked curiously.
Kari stayed silent for a moment, trying to think of something to cover up her answer of her time with T.K. behind the tree reenacting 'Sleeping Beauty' . . . "Well I've been just peachy."
"Heh, that's what Jeri would say," Takato thought. "Hm, good thing she's not around to see me like this."
"Come on guys, we gotta get back on track of searching for civilization," said Takuya
"Alright."
Soon, everyone put out the fire, packed up, and headed out to find civilization with Davis dragging Kazu by the back of the shirt and Kouji on a gurney. Poor him.
"Will he be okay?" asked Tommy.
"If we pour water over him, he'll be fine at least," Davis replied. "If not, I'll punch him again."

Summary: A nice and relaxing camping trip. Gathered around the campfire, listening to ghost stories, star gazing, and then sleeping with a bear next to you in the tent. Aaaaaaagggghhhhh!!! Another mischief of brought from the Digimon.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Chapter Six: The Joy of Camping With a Bear-rel of Fun!
Davis was walking tiredly through the forest as he collapse on to the dead leaves on the ground. His leg muscles were sore and his eyes drooped. After that incident, they were too afraid to even look back. They even forgot who they left behind . . . Oh yeah, it was Kazu, right?
"Davis, keep running . . ." Takato yelled in a low and tired tone, still clinging on to Davis' jacket. "The Blair Witch could be right behind us . . . Mush."
"So much for the 'sled dog team' idea . . ." Kenta moaned.
"Sled dog team?! We're not even working together! I have to do all the running while you guys just drag behind me," Davis huffed. "Hey, where's Kazu?"
"Dunno. Think the Blair Witch got him?" Takato asked.
"I hope not. Still owes me some money . . ." said Kenta as he suddenly felt something cold grab him by the ankle as he shrieked. "Aaaaagghhh!!!"
Kenta quickly scrambled over Takato and Davis and was about to abandon his 'sled dog team' when Davis grabbed him. "What's the matter with you?!"
"Something eerie and cold grabbed me by the leg!" Kenta panted.
"Sorry, that was me," a familiar voice rang out. They all looked behind them to see Kazu, also lying flat on the ground, with his arm out stretched to them.
"Kazu! You escaped from the Blair Witch!" said Takato, glad to know his friend is safe.
"No thanks to you!" Kazu snapped. "You guys ran off faster than Gatomon when she hears a can opener running!"
"So . . . did you see it?" Davis asked.
"Believe me, the legends are true," Kazu replied, knowing that his face was turning pale at the reminder of that lady. "Hairy old lady with eyes like that is defiantly not normal . . ."
"Hehe, from now on, let's never split up," Takato demanded. " If we do, we'll never get out of this alive without our fear gnawing in the back of our head like this all the time."
" 'All for one and one for all,' right?" said Davis, quoting on that line.
"Right," said Kenta.
They were about to put their hands together to make that promise when-
"AAAAAHHWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" the sound of a wolf howled.
Silence befell on the forest around them after that uncanny wolf howl.
" . . . That's it, I'm running," Takato replied as he got up and ran. Davis jumped from and grabbed him by the leg as Takato fell with a thud on his chest.
"You ain't going be first!" Davis argued, running ahead of him. "Have you forgotten your word?! You said we shouldn't split up!"
Takato caught him by the leg and tripped him as Davis fell on his chest with a thud. "First is the worst; Second is the best!"
They continued on catching each other by the ankle, over and over again, trying to get ahead as Kazu and Kenta just watched them. "So much for 'all for one and one for all,' quote. Doesn't really work on a group of chickens like us at the moment," Kazu admitted.
Suddenly Kenta came to a realization. "Hey, does anybody remember where the campground is?"
The two boys and Kazu went to a sudden halt to think and they finally all answer, "Uh-oh . . ."
" . . . All of you forgot which direction we came from?!" Kenta said in shock. "But we only went a few yards away from them!"
"Yeah, well, being scared silly and out of your wit can get you lost pretty easy when you don't know where you're running," Takato replied. "Let see, we walked from the campground about twenty yards away, then we ran about ten yards to the West where we found those pile of stones and heard that eerie cackle, then ran fifty yards East and then . . . uh, oh I forgot the rest but our leader of the 'sled dog team' was the one in charge of getting us lost!!"
"Hey I was scared out of my goggles to care where I was going!" Davis snorted, folding his arms over his chest.
"Wait, guys, don't worry. I know exactly how to get back to the others," Kazu said calmly.
"How? Got one of those transporting devices like in Star Trek or something?" Davis asked.
"No, but I remember that we past by a thick oak tree with a hole in it and that the others are right around there in a couple of feet away," Kazu answered.
"Well let's start looking," said Takato, smiling as he looked up into the sky. "We'll be able to find it easily with the full moon shinning on us, right guys?"
Kazu hushed, "Shh! Takato, what did I say about spoiling our good fortune? You could j-!"
Suddenly dark eerie clouds that seemed to form a hand quickly consumed and blocked the full moon from shining even a peep of it . . . Now it was total darkness surrounded them. The boys were now only able to identify each other by a faint outline around each other but it's not enough to tell the difference if the person next to you is actually your friend or the Blair Witch.
"-Jinx us . . ."
"Oh, boy . . ." Takato sighed. "Anybody got night vision around here?"
"You see, we could absolutely find an oak tree with a hole in it in a snap with a full moon helping us but without one, we're totally damn lost and minus well marooned," Davis pouted. "Oh well, at least we don't have to be worry about werewolves popping up behind us."
"Except ghosts and shadow lurking creatures."
"Anyone brought garlic and a stake?"
"I'll sure be happy to be back home in my own bed and holding Mr. Teddy close to me right now. . ." Kenta murmured. "And may be in my cowboy pajamas with the night light on . . ."
Kazu thought he heard something. "What was that?"
"Nothing! I didn't say anything about Mr. Teddy and cowboy pajamas!" Kenta hushed up.
"No, I meant I heard something out there . . ." Kazu ignored.
Everyone went silent as they strained their ear to hear what Kazu may have heard. Davis tried cleaning his ears and finally heard the eerie sound that Kazu heard, as well the others now.
"EHEHEhehehehehehehEHEHEHEHEHEHeheheheheheheHEHEHEHEHE!!!!" a woman's cackling was heard.
The four boys could feel the hair along their neck stick straight up when that cackle was sounded through the forest. It was hard to identify where it was coming from but it sounded quite close but sounded like it came from all directions . . . The four boys took their chance to run like a bunch of headless chickens in any direction.
"Every ass for themselves!! Run!!" Davis shouted as he immediately ran.
Takato noticed this and jumped like before and caught Davis by the brims of his jacket. "Wait for me!"
"Me too!" Kenta yelled.
"Me three!" Kazu replied.
They all created like a chain link right behind Davis and they were dragged through the forest behind him. Yep, so much for "all for one and one for all" . . . Only works in the TV shows . . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Veemon, Armadillomon, and Guilmon all slept peacefully and quietly. The only thing stirring was Guilmon's tail, that was slapping from left to right at the end of the sleeping bag. Armadillomon slept on his stomach when he felt someone gave a low kick to his sides.
Armadillomon woke up and looked to see who was the perpetrator. He saw Veemon who was snoring unusually loud . . . that could've been a fake. "Veemon . . ."
"Hmm?" Veemon yawned as he turned around. "What?"
"You kicked me."
"No I didn't. I was sleeping."
"No you weren't! That was a very unusually loud snore for you to be sleeping . . . You kicked me and you know it!!"
"Armadillomon, quit your babbling and go to sleep."
"No I won't!"
"Then what do you want?"
"This!" Armadillomon gave a head-butt to Veemon's skull as he fully woke up with a headache. Usually he didn't get one but now he did. "Ooooh, that hurt! I may have a thick skull but nobody head-butt me!!"
"Then don't kick me!"
"But I didn't!!"
"Yes you did you dense-head!"
"Hill-Billy wannabe accent!!"
"Why you . . .!! Rargh!!"
Veemon leapt on Armadillomon and tackled him as they got into a dust cloud of melee. "I didn't kick anybody!! And why are you blaming me?!?!? Why not Guilmon?!"
Armadillomon stopped. "Guilmon's sleeping."
"But I was sleeping too!!"
"No you weren't!"
Veemon groaned. "You always blame me!! Why me?!? Me?!"
"Cause you're always the one who cause trouble!!"
"Trouble?! I'll show you trouble!! Bragh!!"
Armadillomon and Veemon's dust cloud of melee finally woke up Guilmon as he moaned and turned around, giving a wide dinosaur yawn, showing all his little sharp tooth and large tongue for slurping. "Morning already? What time is it?"
Aramdillomon snarled, "Time to kill Veemon!!"
And Veemon roared, "Time to kill Aramdillomon!!"
Guilmon then concluded it was, "Oh, time to go back to sleep. Night, night."
Meanwhile . . . Calumon is still up in the tree . . . I think.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Feathers still fluttered in the air. Pillow case shreds torn all over the floor. Beelzemon and Cyberdramon just went through the most horrible and exhausting pillow fight of the year, using only two of their last pillows. In the end, no one was a winner.
Cyberdramon was on his stomach with his chin out as he lied there, panting and groaning, "Are you *wheez* ready to *gasp* surrender, Beelzemon?"
Beelzemon, with his face in the ground with feathers all over him, he answered, "*gasp* Never . . ."
"*wheez* Die you old son of a . . ." Cyberdramon couldn't finish it because he was too tired to say the rest of the sentence and let it hang in the air.
"Yeah, yeah," Beelzemon coughed, spitting feathers out of his mouth. Suddenly he coughed up with more feathers coming out from his stomach. "Hey, how the heck did I get this much feather down my throat?"
"Remember? I said I'd jam the pillow down your throat if you didn't give the pillow to me . . ." Cyberdramon reminded.
"Oh yeah . . . Here," said Beelzemon, handing him something without even looking up. "You can have the pillow."
What Beelzemon handed to Cyberdramon was a pillow case and some feathers, or what was left of that pillow anyway.
" . . . It's flat."
"Yeah. You can have it."
"I wanted a full and fluffed pillow to sleep on!"
"Tough luck."
"Though luck?! It's your fault in the beginning of not giving me the pillow in the first place!" Cyberdramon snarled, getting up to snap at Beelzemon.
"Oh, shut your trap and get to sleep. I'm dead exhausted."
"You demonic bastard!"
"Well then bite me why dontcha!?" Beelzemon snapped.
"Where and how hard?!" Cyberdramon roared as he took a futile lunge at Beelzemon's leg before he moved it.
"Oh, you slug slime dragon! Take this!"
Beelzemon jumped Cyberdramon and started punching him in the side of the neck.
Cyberdramon quickly grabbed him and threw him over his shoulders with a slam as the demon lied sprawled over the floor leaving an opening for the dragon.
"Bonzai!!"
Cyberdramon leapt and elbowed him right in the sides and started mauling on his tail. Cyberdramon then ravaged and clawed at Beelzemon.
"Oh, agh!! You dirty low-life dog! Fancy this!"
Beelzemon did something so horrible to inflict pain that made the toughest, vicious, carnivorous, and tenacious dragon in the whole world to howl this awful cry of agony and pain.
" . . . Oops, I didn't know it hurt on a dragon that much."
As Cyberdramon howled, the creature behind the bushes heard them. Possibly Cyberdramon's story telling about the werewolf was a foreshadowing of it's presence, as this creature crept from the forest and head throughout the neighborhood of tents to find fresh, tender, delicious, meat to chew on while it was alive.
It ruffled it's head through the first large tent door to see three Digimon sleeping silently. The creature judged how much flesh in here was to fill up it's stomach but to only identify Lopmon, Gatomon, and Renamon as scrawny, since they were too small or skinny to get any real meat off from them. The creature gave an annoyed growl as it moved on, leaving the tent and going to the next one.
As it did, Renamon's eyes blinked open as she got up from her dream (Of pounding the tar out of Beelzemon with a baseball bat). "Something was here . . ."
Lopmon woke up from Renamon's voice. "Something was here? *yawn* Like what?"
Renamon retraced what she could remember as evidence of something being here. "I don't know."
Gatomon heard the two of them as she stretched and got up. "What's the matter?"
"Renamon thought she heard someone coming into our tent," said Lopmon.
"Let me check," Gatomon volunteered, as she got out of her bed and went to the tent's door. She took a few sniffs of it and said, "Someone was here."
"Who? What? When?" said Lopmon.
"Not sure. Hmmm, hey, I see something out there!" Gatomon jumped, looking out the door.
Renamon and Lopmon jumped up to see what Gatomon was talking about. They looked out the door to see only a faint light of the moon shining upon them. But that was enough to notice the perpetrator that was passing and entering tents one by one.
"Look! What is that?" asked Lopmon.
Renamon tried to remember the name of this forest creature. She heard it from Rika once, she said it was a ferocious and meat-eating creature with claws and lots of fur, resembling a Grizzmon. Plus this is what Davis would describe Yolei as. Finally Renamon remembered what this creature was called. "Now I remember. I think it's called a Bear."
"A bear? Well, it doesn't look THAT harmful, compared to all the other Digimon we faced through. It looks like it's looking for food or something," implied Gatomon.
"We're lucky that it didn't eat us," Lopmon sighed a relief.
"Should we scare it away?" said Gatomon, shining her nails to be ready.
"No, bears are harmless unless provoked. Besides, I wonder if it'll bite Veemon or Beelzemon . . ." Renamon pondered.
"What about Terriermon?" asked Lopmon.
"He's too scrawny so the bear won't eat him," she answered. "Anyone wanna place bets on who gets attack by the bear?"
"Ooooh, hundred yens that it attacks Veemon and bites him on the tail!" Gatomon smiled.
"I'll still bet Terriermon will get chased so I'll place five-hundred yens on him," Lopmon smirked.
Renamon had the biggest grin across her face as she said, "Well, I'll bet one-thousand yens that Beelzemon gets snapped on the butt, clawed and mauled all over his body, clothes torn to bits again, and humped by this mother bear."
"Wow, that's a very large chance you're risking. You sure that it'll ALL happen?" asked Gatomon.
"I'll even add a five-hundred yen if it's not done in order," Renamon smiled.
Lopmon and Gatomon looked at each other. "I think we're gonna be rich after this!"
"Quick! Let's grab some sodas and snacks and watch this up in the tree!" Gatomon shouted in glee with excitement. "I'll snatch the sodas!"
"I'll get the popcorn and snacks!" Lopmon shouted.
"And I'll get us some seats in the trees," said Renamon as she quickly ran out of the tent.
The bear had snooped into Bokomon's tent to see more scrawny ones in that tent and moved to the next one. This one, Hawkmon's group, was also too scrawny and it smelled like someone took a leak in it; The bear didn't bother to go into Guilmon's tent because she heard fighting in there, possibly wanting to put up a fight before they get eaten. The bear was about to give up it's late night meal raid and leave the campground when she suddenly heard two loud voices from a particularly small tent.
"Oh gawd, why'd you kick me there . . . ?" Cyberdramon groaned, clutching that particular spot on his body in pain.
Beelzemon said, "How was I suppose to know that even MALE dragons were weak in the groin too? I thought it only worked on us Digimon that looked human. Heh, now that I think about it, I never was kicked in the groin before . . . How does it feel?"
'HOW DOES IT FEEL?!?!?! IS THAT A SARCASTIC REMARK OR SOMETHING?!?!?!' he thought in sheer agony from his own problem. Cyberdramon's eyes would've twitched and changed from agony to rage if you saw them through his helmet. "Well how about you stand straight and put your legs apart and experience how 'it' feels to be KICKED there by a seven foot dragon with it's foot up your little ba-?!"
"Shhhh!! I hear something!" said Beelzemon, suddenly hearing leaves crunching from outside.
"Oh, quit your bawling and spread your legs apart!" said Cyberdramon enraged, as he stood up and was ready to give Beelzemon a world of hurt.
"No, be quiet! Someone is coming our way," said Beelzemon.
"Well then shut off the lantern in here!" Cyberdramon ordered.
Beelzemon went over and turned down the lantern as it slowly went to a small flame and extinguished. The noise ruffled outside as they heard the dead leaves crunched under the footing of this creature or whomever it was outside.
"You think it's Guardromon?" asked Beelzemon.
"Nah. Once he shuts off and go to sleep, someone has to kick him up to wake him," Cyberdramon answered. "He's like an old broken down computer."
"Yeah, gotta kick them a couple of times so they can work," said Beelzemon. (My computer has this problem but of course, ALL computers have this problem!)
"Speaking of 'kicking a couple of times' . . ." Cyberdramon remembered. "Open your legs so I can give you one!!"
"Shush!!"
The sounds of leaves crunching were getting louder and closer.
"You go check it out," Beelzemon ordered.
"Me? Why me? I'm the one in pain right now . . ." Cyberdramon moaned.
"Fine, you baby dragon, I'll check it out," Beelzemon huffed.
Cyberdramon resented that comment, being called as 'baby dragon', and was furious. "Baby dragon this!" Cyberdramon kicked Beelzemon behind the butt, pushing him right into the tent's door. At least he was able to give a kick into Beelzemon but for some reason, instead of falling through the tent door and laying flat on the ground with mud in your face from the outside, Beelzemon landed on something big and furry with a wet nose.
Cyberdramon had a sweat drop hanging from his head. "What the . . ."
Beelzemon stood up correctly to see what stopped his fall. "Whoa . . ."
The bear was angered by the intrusion and expected to find silence among his prey but not tonight. It walked right into the tent, passing by Guardromon and blocking the exit and entrance, letting no one in or out. It gave a deep growling purr in its throat as it stared at the two strange preys.
Cyberdramon's voice quivered. "B-Beelzemon . . . That w-wouldn't happen to be the same b-bear from t-today, is it?"
Beelzemon checked as he pulled his undershirt up, looked at the slash mark, and compared it to the claws that the bear had. "Yep, it's the same mother bear I tried to shoot."
"Grrrrrr . . ." the ferocious, toothsome, bear growled, almost as if it understood what he had just said.
"Beelzemon, you've known her longer than I have so talk to her," Cyberdramon insisted as he pushed him forward.
"Me?! I hardly know her and she tried to EAT me!!" Beelzemon yelled, but yelling only angered the bear even further. "And I don't think you can actually MAKE friends with something you're about to EAT!!!"
"GGGGGRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!"
"Do something you stupid dragon! You're the fiercest and bloodlust dragon around here so kill it!" Beelzemon shoved, in a panicked way.
"I would but if you DID remember, you kicked me right in the groin!!!" Cyberdramon shouted.
"So?!"
A large vein mark popped behind the back of his head, showing his anger and rage. "So . . . IT HURTS LIKE DAMN HELL THAT I WANT AN ICE PACK TO GO WITH IT!!! DUH!!! YOU SON OF A- !!!"
This time the bear slashed from the right, hoping to knock off their heads to shut them up but missed by a blond hair as Beelzemon ducked. "Jeez, trim your nails, woman!!"
"GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!" giving a longer vicious roar.
"We can't get out of here . . ." Cyberdramon stated.
"Right, back door?!" Beelzemon implied.
Cyberdramon gulped. "Back door."
Beelzemon's claws sharpened as he prepared to slash the back of the tent.
"SHRIIIP!!"
"KIIIIN!!"
The back of the tent was shredded open as the two Digimon ran out screaming, "RUN!!! WAKE UP EVERYONE!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! THERE'S A BEAR!!! A BEAR!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Renamon was up in the tree and munching on her popcorns. "Hurry up you two! The show is starting!"
"It is?" said Gatomon, carrying her soda. "Did the bear get Veemon yet?"
"What about Terriermon?" asked Lopmon.
Renamon pulled the both of them up on to the tree branch. "So far the bear attacked Beelzemon's tent and is chasing him and Cyberdramon. Not bad for an opening of a show."
"AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!! Cyberdramon, quick! Let's hide in here!" Beelzemon planned.
"Fine! Sounds good to me right about now!!"
Beelzemon grabbed Cyberdramon and pulled them into the tent and landing right on top of Patamon_F, Patamon, Nehmon, and Bokomon, crushing ALL of them and their bones. The two Patamons looked like deflated bat-pig balloons under Cyberdramon as they gasped for air. x__x . . .
"Bah!! What in the names of my pink belt- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!" Bokomon shouted, from the rude awakening.
"Oh, gah!! I can't feel my legs anymore!! Get off of me! Get off of me! Get off of me! Waaaahhhh!!" Nehmon screamed, when suddenly the whole entire roof of the tent was torn off by the brutality and strength of an angry mother bear as she gave a deep roar of anger. "HOLY SOCKS!!!"
"Vamoose!! Scram!! Flee!! Mush!! Run for your freakin' life!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Beelzemon warned as he ran, tripped, tumbled, and crashed into another tent as it was brought down on him. "Agh!! The bear got me! It got me! Agh!"
Cyberdramon sighed. " . . . Idiot. I should've never trusted my life in his hands." He then got to his feet, and went to climb up a tree. "I knew I should've climbed the tree in the first place . . ."
"Hmmm, Cyberdramon is smart as least, thinking about climbing a tree," said Renamon.
"Yeah but there's one problem: Can't bears climb trees?" said Gatomon.
"Hahaha! Too bad for Beelzemon. He should've followed me!" Cyberdramon grinned. " . . . Huh?"
The bear chased up to the tree he was in and started clawing and climbing up to Cyberdramon.
"Agh! Bears can climb?! No! Not a full grown bear! Can't be!! Down! Down! Down girl, down!!" Cyberdramon squealed as he climbed higher. "Damn you, Beelzemon!! Why did you have to do that body slam on my wings?! They're already tattered enough!"
"Beelzemon!!" Terriermon shouted, awaken from the crazy demon that was in his tent.
"Ugh . . . Sorry, I thought it was the bear," said Beelzemon.
"Might wanna help your friend up there . . ." said MarineAngemon, pointing up to the tree.
Beelzemon exclaimed, "Cyberdramon!!"
"It'll be your damn fault if she eats me!!" Cyberdramon shouted, swinging from the top of the tree as the bear was getting closer. "I'll be sure to haunt you in your dreams when I'm a dead ghost!!!"
"I wish I had my guns . . ." Beelzemon thought. "Wait a minute, I got an idea!"
Beelzemon grabbed Bokomon. "I'll need to use you!"
"Pardon?!" Bokomon asked.
Beelzemon pulled Bokomon by the pink belt and stretched it like a rubber band, aiming right toward the mother bear. "Here goes nothin'!"
Bokomon realized it finally. "Oh my!! Are you-!!"
"PING!!"
"BWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Bokomon went soaring through the air like a pebble in a slingshot towards the bear. The bear saw the incoming attack and swatted Bokomon away like a fly and into the dirt.
"Oh! Ack! Bah! Agh! Blah!!" Bokomon skid to a halt in the dirt with his face. "Ooooooooooooh . . . . . . . . . ."
The bear was angry and went down to chase after Beelzemon.
"Aww, crap!!" Beelzemon started running again as fast as he could with the angry mother bear behind him.
"Thanks, Beelzemon!! You're a brave mon!!" Cyberdramon shouted.
"You mean it?!" he asked, still running.
"No. I was being sarcastic you spoony bard!!"
"Oh . . . Hey, who ya callin' a spoony bard, huh?!"
"Beelzemon, look out!!" Patamon warned.
"Huh? Whoa!" Beelzemon dashed without looking and crashed right into Guilmon's tent and tearing it all down. "Whoops! Ack! Oh, sorry! Waaah!!"
"What the- Beelzemon?! What are you doing here? Are you having a nightmare again? Need to sleep in here?" asked Guilmon.
"No! I'm being chased by a bear!" Beelzemon shouted as he noticed the two fighting Digimon. "Hey, what are you two horn dogs doing there?"
By now Armadillomon was winning as he smothered Veemon's head with a pillow as the little blue dragon clawed at him weakly as he suffocated. "Nothin'. Just settling a fight."
"You guys need to get out of here anyway so let's move it!" Beelzemon pushed Guilmon. "There's a bear heading this way!"
"It's a sarcastic remark, Guilmon, so ignore him," Veemon scuffled from under the pillow. "Armadillomon?"
"Yeah? What?"
Veemon tried to breathed a gulp before he said, "Damn you neurotic cowboy accented Digimon!! I did NOT kick you!!!"
Armadillomon with all his might smothered Veemon even more with the pillow. "Stupid blue dragon!! Die!! Just die!! Die!!"
"No I'm not jokin'!! I'm really, really, really, being chased by a bear!!" Beelzemon emphasized how real he was. He pulled Veemon right out from under Armadillomon's smothering and shoved his head right outside to see-
Veemon's eyes popped wide open when he was facing- "Holy cow!!"
"No, it's a bear," said Guilmon as he looked outside.
"Bear!! Bear!! Bear!! Bear!! Bear!!" Veemon shouted like a fire alarm.
"Well, duh!! That's what I've been tellin' ya!!"
Veemon turned around and started running and screaming but Beelzemon still had a hold of him. "Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!!"
Suddenly the bear tore it's head into the tent and snarled before it snapped right on to Veemon's tail with an excruciating crunch with his tail snapping in five places.
0_0!!!!!!!!!
Veemon screamed a powerful yelp of pain. "YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOUUUUUUCCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!", jumping sky-high into the air like a rocket through the ceiling of the tent, almost hitting into Calumon up there in the tree.
Guilmon looked up to watch Veemon. "Oooh, birdie."
"Haha, I won that bet," Gatomon smiled. "Veemon got snapped."
"Wait till you see Terriermon," said Lopmon.
The mother bear exhaled steam from her nostrils at Beelzemon, as she took another swipe at Beelzemon.
"Whoa!"
The bear missed but slapped Armadillomon right out the tent and into a tree with a-
"WHAP-POW!!"
Armadillomon gave a low moan, "Ooooh, anybody got the license plate number of that truck . . ."
"Guilmon, you distract it while I go run!" Beelzemon ordered. "Now!"
Beelzemon jumped up and ran out of the tent.
"But Beelzemon, I can't do that because-" Guilmon said before interrupted.
Beelzemon ran away as fast as possible before Guilmon groaned, "Oh well, I told him I can't because can't fight on an empty stomach. Hmmm, which reminds me, midnight snack time!" Guilmon then left to go raid into his private food cooler for some snacks. "MMMmmmmm, Guilmon Bread . . ."
Veemon came back to Earth and landed on his butt before he started running in circles with tears streaming down his face. "Ohhhhh, it hurts!! It hurts!! It hurts!!"
"Well it looks like Terriermon tonight won't be chased then since it wants Beelzemon," Gatomon smiled. "Guess I won't have to pay on that bet to you , Lopmon. Hehehehehehehehe!!"
"Don't be too sure," said Lopmon, thinking of the most devious way to get her money. She would do anything to get that summed of money she betted on and even lie, cheat, or steal. She stood up and held a bottle of something in her small arms. "Hey, bear!!"
Terriermon noticed Lopmon in the tree. "Lopmon?!"
The bear galloped after Beelzemon when it heard something getting her attention. "Ruh?"
"Eat this!" Lopmon squeezed the bottle of oozing yellow that coated Terriermon's fur from above.
"Bwah!! Hey what the- Lopmon what did you put on me?!?!" Terriermon shouted. "Better not be something from the toilet!! *sniff* Huh? Smells kinda sweet . . ."
Lopmon then gave a small squirt of it on to the bear's nose. The bear retaliated from it but suddenly realized what was on her nose. She licked it off and gave a warm purr in herself.
"If you want more, of that, here! Terriermon, catch!" Lopmon threw the bottle down to Terriermon as he caught it in his hands.
Terriermon read the label on the bottle. "HONEY!?!?!?!?!?"
The bear now saw Terriermon as a scrumptious snack of Honey Covered Rabbit dinner for dessert as it licked it's chops before it went right after Terriermon.
"Huh? Bwaaaahhhh!!!" Terriermon made haste as he ran around covered in honey. "Looopppmmooonnn!!!"
Lopmon giggled in delight. "I guess I get my share of money."
Renamon and Gatomon gave a glare.
"You didn't have to cheat," Gatomon replied.
"It was bound to happen anyway."
"Bound that Terriermon was to be covered in honey toe to ear?" said Renamon.
Beelzemon was hiding and thinking of a way to escape with some of the other mons that were still 'alive' and here at least. So far he could only make a count of MarineAngemon, Wormmon, Bokomon, Patamon_F and Patamon, Nehmon, Hawkmon, Veemon, and himself who were safely hiding here in the bushes . . .
"So what do we do?" asked Wormmon.
"I don't know. All I know is that we need a plan and a distraction," said Beelzemon.
"Well Terriermon is doing a heck of a job out there," said Hawkmon.
"Hey, you Patamons! I want you guys to think of a plan and you got 2 minutes because we don't have much time before Terriermon gets eaten and the bear decides to eat us next," Beelzemon ordered.
"Us?!" Patamon said in shock.
"Yes and I'm putting all our lives on your itty-bitty shoulders to make up and decide on a plan," said Beelzemon. "Simple as that, got that?"
0_0;;; "We're doomed," gulped Patamon_F.
"Hey that's not a plan!" said Nehmon.
"First thing first, we need to save our other friends out there before they get eaten," said Hawkmon.
"Right, okay then, I'll go," volunteered Beelzemon. "If anybody is the fastest to outrun that bear, it's me."
"Good luck!" said Nehmon.
"What did I tell you about wishing me good luck? It's for wusses," Beelzemon snorted.
"Good luck, Beelzemon! Godspeed! Godspeed, Beelzemon!!" all the Digimon shouted. "Whoooo!"
"Oi . . . They don't learn," Beelzemon sighed as he jumped out of the bushes and headed toward Armadillomon at the base of the tree to pick him up.
"How's that plan?" MarineAngemon asked the Patamons.
The two bat-pigs were under pressured and trembled like the whole world would collapse. "You gave us TWO minutes to think of a plan!! TWO minutes!! You're wasting our precious minutes!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut up!! Let us think!! Shoo!! Agh!!!" Patamon shouted in a panicked and cracked tone.
The other Digimon did not expect this unnatural behavior.
" . . . Sounds like Yolei when she's on her cellphone," Hawkmon remembered. "She has a bad cellphone plan."
"She could use Midol, ya know . . ." Veemon thoughtfully suggested.
"Veemon, I don't think Midol would help in Yolei's case because she does not have . . ." Hawkmon realized what Veemon meant and scowled as he whacked Veemon behind the head. "Do not speak of Yolei like that!!"
"What? It's the truth . . . She could use Mi-!!"
Another blow to the back of the head by Hawkmon and Veemon is out cold. "She is not on that week of the month thing yet!! Shame on you, you cretin!!"
Suddenly Patamon_F thought of a plan. "Ah!! Hide in there! Hide in there! Bear won't know where!!"
"Huh? Where, Patamon_F," asked Bokomon.
"Come and see! Come and see!!" Patamon_F lead the way. "Follow me! Follow me! Follow the leader!"
" . . . Ever noticed the leaders in these story turns out to be sort of a false hero or dud?" Wormmon thought as he followed reluctantly.
"In a comedic one, yes," MarineAngemon replied. "Are we in a comedic story."
"Wormmon checked. "Yes."
Hawkmon dragged Veemon along. "I preferred to leave you behind for the bear to find."
Beelzemon had rushed over and rescued already Armadillomon, Guilmon (who was eating bread quite happily without noticing his surroundings of screams and roars), and finally Terriermon as he was now chased by the bear.
"Ewww, what did you covered your self with?!" Beelzemon asked.
"Me?! Lopmon did it!!" Terriermon retorted.
"Oh, wait a sec- Where's the girls?!" Beelzemon finally remembered.
"Up here!!" someone shouted.
"Huh?!" Beelzemon looked up to see Renamon, Lopmon, and Gatomon who were sitting up in the trees and watching him from up above. "Renamon?! Lopmon?! Gatomon?! What hell are you guys doin' up there?!"
"Watching," Gatomon quickly answered.
"Watchin'?!?! Watchin' what?!"
"You of course. We're betting on who got bitten by the bear so far," Lopmon grinned. "Oh I forgot, thank you, Terriermon!"
Terriermon looked up in a dazed honey-covered look. "You owe me for this . . ."
"You've been betting on me?!" Beelzemon shouted with rage.
"Only I did," said Renamon. "So far I'm waiting."
"Hey Beelzemon, the bear is coming after you," said Gatomon. " . . . Or is it coming ON to you . . . Hehehehe," she teased him.
"Ha!! If ya thinking that'll happen, you're seriously dead wrong!! As IF the bear would get me!! Or even ON to me . . . Ha!! Renamon, you are so gonna lose on your bet!!" Beelzemon laughed. "Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-YEEEOOOOUUUCCHHHH!!!"
Beelzemon suddenly was overwhelmed with pain in the rear as the mother bear had finally caught up to Beelzemon, giving a bone crunching snap that Beelzemon screamed in pain and dropped the other Digimon in his hands to the ground.
"Ow! Watch it! I'm injured," said Armadillomon.
Renamon gave a small nod. "Phase 1 of my bet is done . . . Phase 2 . . ."
"Oh no not a again-!!" Beelzemon screamed as the bear pulled him down and started clawing and mauling him all over. "Ahhhh!! No! Not the face!! Bah!! Ow!! No, not my jacket!! This is a genuine- Agh!! No!!!"
"Phase 2 is completed . . ." Renamon smirked.
The bear then dragged a clawed, mauled, torn, and chewed Beelzemon by the pant leg and into the forest as Beelzemon helplessly digs his finger into the ground screaming for mercy. "Noooooooo!!! What are you doing?!?! Oh no, you're not dragging me back there!! Ahh!! No, not back at your place!! Please!! No! No! Nooooooooo!!" Then Beelzemon disappeared behind the bushes as he was dragged away by the mother bear and back to the cave.
Everyone watched as Beelzemon was dragged away screaming.
" . . . That sounded like Beelzemon on a first date . . ." said Armadillomon.
"With an ugly broad he didn't like . . ." Terriermon managed to add in.
"Hello!" Patamon_F came flying up to them. "Come and see! Come and see! We can hide in there!"
Patamon_F pointed over to the house near the lake.
"The bathing lodge?! We're gonna be hiding in the bathing lodge?!" shouted Terriermon.
"Better in the lodge then in hungry bear's tummy!" Patamon_F replied as he flew back to the lodge.
"Well I suppose we should follow," said Renamon as she quickly went over there through the treetops.
"We're right behind ya," Gatomon and Lopmon replied as they followed.
"Meh, let's go," said Armadillomon as he scurried.
Guilmon was about to follow when he remembered something. "Oh, I forgot."
Guilmon went and climbed up a tree near his old tent and picked up the bag that held Calumon. "Almost forgot you . . . Calumon? Oh, Calumon . . . ?"
Guilmon opened the bag and dipped his head inside to look. "Hey, where's Calumon?!"
All he found was a large hole in the bottom of the burlap sack.
"Come on, Guilmon, get inside before the bear comes back!" shouted Veemon.
"Coming!" said Guilmon as he ran over to the lodge. 'Where could he be?'
"Cyberdramon?! You're still up there?!" Renamon shouted in disbelief.
"Well I'm pretty much stuck up here!!" Cyberdramon answered from the top of the tree.
"Come down here! It's a lot safer!" shouted Nehmon.
"Okay!" Cyberdramon jumped off and landed through the bathroom lodge's roof and into a bathtub with roof shingles and paste falling through.
"You do know the door was open, right?" asked Renamon.
"Yeah but jumping through the roof is easier," said Cyberdramon.
0_o;;; "How would that be considered 'easier'?"
All the Digimon were now safely and hidden inside the bathroom-lodge for the rest of the night. Well, except for Beelzemon, Calumon who is missing and . . . Oh yeah, Guardromon is still outside sleeping.
Guardromon was untouched and unawake as he sat there sleeping without even noticing there WAS a racket of mayhem around him. " . . . "
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, back to Takato, Kazu, Kenta, and Davis . . . They still wandered aimlessly through the dark forest. They still haven't figured out how to get back and where the oak tree with a hole in it was.
"Hey, Takato," asked Kazu.
"What?" said Takato.
"Which is worse: East or West?" Kazu stated.
"What do you mean?" Takato asked, not understanding what he meant.
"Well, we've been going down South so we should try to go either East or West," Kazu answered. "So I was wondering, since we might still be chased by the Blair Witch, which witch is worse? Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?"
Takato thought quietly before he answered, "Um, Wicked Witch of the West I guess. Because that witch did try to takeover all of Oz and-"
"Okay, I don't need an explanation so let's go East then," said Kazu as he decided to go East.
"His logic of directions are worse than mine," Davis whispered to Takato. "I wouldn't go neither East or West if there was a witch on each end. I'm heading North."
"Davis, we just came from the North," Takato stated.
"Okay, I'll go South," Davis answered.
"There's nothing much in the South."
"Fine, I'll West."
"There's the Wicked Witch of the West."
"Okay, East!"
"Wicked Witch of the East."
"Then where are we going?!"
"To go visit the Wicked Witch of the East," Kenta answered bluntly. "Duh!"
Davis sighed, "But you said there's a witch in the East and then the West and- Wait a minute! Is there even a Wicked Witch of the East?! Gawd! We're a bunch of marooned people in the forest with witches chasing after us from East to West!"
"Hey, you think we'll encounter a gingerbread house with a witch living in there?" asked Kazu.
"You mean the one from Hansel and Gretel?" asked Takato.
"Maybe because I'm starting to get hungry . . ." Kenta groaned.
Suddenly another blood-curdling laughter was sounded out through the forest. "Nya-Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!"
0_0!!!
"When will this nightmare end . . . ?" Kenta whimpered.
"Who the hell is making that cackling?! It's already getting tiresome here and annoying too!!" Davis shouted.
"Davis, it's not a good time to be arguing with the mysterious cackling person that we can't see!!" Takato replied as he grabbed Davis and ran with Kazu and Kenta.
"Hey! We're heading West!!" Davis reminded.
"Oops! Wrong way! Go East! Go East everybody! East!!"

"You're starting a fire? But what about Kazu, Kenta, Takato, and Davis? I thought they were bringing the fire supplies," said Ken.
"They probably wouldn't come back with it," answered Takuya, who recently had woken up. "They're probably playing out there and forgot all about what they were suppose to do. Besides, I finally found some rocks and sticks to make one and everyone is cold. As soon as they return, I'm deciding that we should all start our trek back into finding civilization at least. We can't just live on eating these dried peas and powdered milk from the emergency supplies for the rest of the time."
"I don't even consider this is food . . ." J.P. whined, now awake and off the kids.
"We should've never the 3 Stooges and Goggle-Head #2 go off by themselves . . . They can't even get themselves out of a paper bag even if they had a pair of scissors with them."
"They're not that dumb," Cody gasped, still wishing he packed an inhaler ever since J.P. had sat on him. "Are they?"
"Mmm, with Davis in the lead, Takato a push-over, Kenta a wimp, and Kazu as second-in-command of the four gluttons, they're already lost out there somewhere and dead with wolves chewing on their fingers," said Rika sourly, as she warmed herself near the fire.
"Rika!" Ryo scolded.
"Oh you know it's true!"
"Yeah but I wouldn't say it . . ." Ryo replied, not wanting to admit it.
"You just did."
"I did n . . ." Ryo then slap himself on the forehead. "Oh boy . . ."
Hey is Kouji going to be fine?" asked Kouichi.
Kouji lied on the gurney that once held Kari as he seemed out cold and half- dead because of Zoe's wrath. He got pretty beaten up and now was dead tired.
"He'll be okay. Zoe let him off easy at least," answered J.P.
"How can you say that?!" Kouichi asked.
"Trust me. After being slapped, kicked, punched, wailed on, pounded on, and stomped on by Zoe because rejections after rejections, I welcome death any time she does so," J.P. whispered so Zoe wouldn't listen.
"Ouchie."
"What was that, J.P. . . ." Zoe asked, hearing her name.
"Nothing."
Zoe watched J.P. suspiciously.
"See what I mean?" J.P. managed to whisper.
Yolei had finally woken up from passing out cold after being drugged by Davis when he spiked her water canteen for fun. "Oh man . . . I got the biggest hangover ever . . . That's the last time I'm letting Davis handle my drinks . . . Hey, where's Kari and T.K.?"
Tommy tried to recall the last time he saw them two love birds. "I heard them saying something about reenacting the story of Sleeping Beauty or something . . ."
" . . . Dear gawd. If Davis heard that about Kari and T.K. . . ." Yolei thought aloud.
Takuya shrugged. "Well, T.K. could always learn from the best like Tarzan of how to live out here in the forest."
"I thought Tarzan lives in the jungle," said Tommy.
" . . . You get my point, right? T.K. is pretty much gonna want to live out here like nature boy because of Davis."
Henry noticed Suzi was sitting beside herself working on something secretly over at the edge of their camp. "Suzi, what are you doing?"
Suzi turned around and looked up at her bigger brother. "I'm bored."
"Yes, but what are you doing?" asked Henry.
"This." Suzi showed Henry what she was working on. "I have no toys here to play with so I made dolls."
"Hey, that actually looks like Kazu," said Henry, noticing the visor made out of a leaf on it's head and a cross shape on the body like his shirt.
"Yeah but I messed up on it," said Suzie. "The eyes are crooked and he looks too fat."
"Hehe, maybe you should've gotten a smaller stick," Henry chuckled.
Suddenly Henry heard voices from the distant. "Funny. I hear Kazu."
"There's no place like home!! There's no place like home!! There's no place like home!!! THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!" Kazu screamed when suddenly-
"BAM!!!"
"CRASH!!!"
Kazu had rushed right into Henry and crashed into him and fell forward into a tree. Henry was ran over and lied sprawled on the ground as Kazu's body formed an imprint into the tree.
"Kazu!! What the hell are you doing running like that?!" Davis shouted as he ran to him and pulled him out of the tree.
Kazu was a blubbering idiot now as he lied there mumbling, "Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?! Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?! Wicked Witch of the West or Wicked Witch of the East?!"
Davis just sighed. "Even HE makes me look smarter . . . Okay Kazu, snap out of it."
Henry got up and rubbed his head. "Gawd, what's wrong with him? Kazu, watch where you're going."
"Henry!" Takato shouted in delight. "Finally! We're back! We got lost in the forest and got chased by the Blair Witch!!"
"Blair Witch? Takato, you know it's only a legend," Henry laughed. "The Blair Witch only exists in Maryland, not here in Tokyo, Japan."
"Well tell that to the witch who was chasing us!!" Kenta shouted as he hid behind Suzi.
"Are you scared?" asked Suzi. "I thought big boys don't get scared."
"Well I'm not a big boy! I'm a little boy who sleeps with the night-light on, and a teddy bear name Mr. Teddy, and with his cowboy pajamas on!!" Kenta confessed.
" . . . "
"What?!"
"Nothing . . ." Suzi said quietly.
Davis gave Kazu a couple of swipes and slaps across his face to wake him up. When that didn't work, Davis punched him in the face.
"Ow! Ugh, that hurt . . ." Kazu mumbled finally when he got out of his trance.
"Well, duh!" said Davis.
"Kazu! Kazu! Look! I made a doll of you," Suzie showed Kazu.
Kazu looked to see his mini-self made of sticks and leaves. "Aaagghhh!! Put it away! Put it away!! I hate stick figure dolls!!" Suddenly Kazu went back going insane again.
Suzi pouted. "Hmph! I knew the eyes were too crossed."
"Either that or he has Automatonophobia," Takato thought.
"Since when have you been a smart one?" asked Kazu.
"Well ever since my parents got a computer, and then the internet, I've been surfing through the net looking through these stuff and . . . - Hey, what do you mean 'since when'? Haven't I been smart these time?"
"No."
"Well I'm a lot smarter than you . . ." Takato nudged.
"Nuh-uh!" Kazu shouted back.
"Uh-huh!" Takato snapped.
"Moron!"
"Baka!"
"Push-over!"
"Flunky!"
"Mama's boy!"
"Visor-Head!"
"Yolei wearing glasses mama's boy!!"
"They're goggles, stupid!! Duh!!"
"Hey, what's all the yelling over here?" asked Yolei as she ran over with Tommy, Ken, and Takuya. "And I heard my name. What's that about?"
"We're alive! We're alive!" shouted the delirious Kazu as he leapt to Yolei's foot and held them in his arm. "Oh, if we stick as a group, no Blair Witch will try to kill us then!! Whooo!! She won't be able to stick needles into our voodoo doll butts like pin cushions!!"
" . . . What?" Ken asked in a confused tone.
"I didn't punch him hard enough . . ." Davis cracking some knuckles, as he was warming them up.
"It's a long story," Kenta told Ken. "Good for a ghost story but we'll have to edit a couple of things out."
"Great! You guys are back!" Takuya cheered with Tommy. "Hey, we can finally get back on our trek to find civilization. Where were you?"
"Eat first, then talk," Takato simply replied.
"Sorry, but we just ate," Takuya replied. "Well, if you considered swallowing dried peas in a pack and powdered milk that was part of the emergency supplies as food . . ."
"Hey, is Kari awake?" asked Davis as he dragged Kazu behind him. "Where is she?"
"Ummm . . ." Yolei silently thought.
Tommy bounced from his spot. "You mean Kari and T.K.? Oh! They're right behind that tree reenacting Sleeping-!!"
T.K. quickly ran up and slapped his hand over the little boy's mouth. "Shhh!"
"T.K.!! There you are! You wouldn't believe what I went through," Davis smiled at the sight of his friend.
"Great, did you have fun?" T.K. asked a bit nervously, hoping Tommy wouldn't leap to tell Davis. Tommy was annoyed by this action. "Ewww, Tommy don't try licking my hand!"
Tommy then pulled T.K.'s hand lower as he bit into his finger. T.K. gave a whimper of pain as he shook his hand vigorously. "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
"Hey, there's something different about you . . ." Davis immediately noticed, not taking any notice of the scene with T.K. and Tommy. "Where' your hat?"
"Uh, my hat?" T.K. pat his head to notice he didn't have his hat on. "Uhhhh . . ." It must've fallen off when they were behind the tree reenacting 'Sleeping Beauty' and when they got to the kissing part . . . Well, T.K. didn't notice his hat fell off when Kari and him were smooching . . . "Uh, my hat? Well, uh, you see it's-"
"-right here, T.K.," said Kari as she came walking up to him and thrusting against his chest like a football. "You dropped it over there."
"Oh, uh, yeah. Hehehe," T.K. nervously chuckled as he put it back on. 'Davis would kill me if he knew . . .'
"Oh, hi Davis," Kari said innocently, taking notice of her friend there.
"Kari you're awake!" Davis hugged but Kari stepped out of the way. Davis shrugged it off. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Kari smiled.
"So how long have you been awake? Is Zoe awake yet? What have you been doing since I was gone?" he asked curiously.
Kari stayed silent for a moment, trying to think of something to cover up her answer of her time with T.K. behind the tree reenacting 'Sleeping Beauty' . . . "Well I've been just peachy."
"Heh, that's what Jeri would say," Takato thought. "Hm, good thing she's not around to see me like this."
"Come on guys, we gotta get back on track of searching for civilization," said Takuya
"Alright."
Soon, everyone put out the fire, packed up, and headed out to find civilization with Davis dragging Kazu by the back of the shirt and Kouji on a gurney. Poor him.
"Will he be okay?" asked Tommy.
"If we pour water over him, he'll be fine at least," Davis replied. "If not, I'll punch him again."
