Me: Hey, who would have thought we'd get this far?

BWG: Certainly not me.

Me: We've actually made it to the first dungeon! Cool!

BWG: Whatever. Try not to mess it up.

Guilmon looked around. He was in a small chamber with a big circular slab set into the back wall. He could just barely see the outline of a passage in the middle of the slab, but three ugly spiky statues blocked it. Guilmon noticed there was a lowered portion of floor where the statues were. Curious, he went over to the statue on the left and pulled on it. He discovered that the lowered portion of floor allowed him to drag the statue out, allowing him to get to the side of the middle statue. Once he pulled it out of the way, he was able to enter the passageway.

He was now in a somewhat larger room with a locked door at the back, three torches (Two of which were unlit) and a pair of stick-wielding Gazimon. He killed the Gazimon, then tried to figure out how to leave the room. He took a look at the two unlit torches. Hmm…it looks like they were burning only a little while ago. He looked at the lit torch, and then at the sticks dropped by the Gazimon on the floor. I wonder… He picked up a stick, and held the end of it to the lit torch. The stick ignited. Guilmon ran over to the unlit torches and ignited them with the flame on his stick. Once both torches were lit, a treasure chest materialized out of thin air. Surprised, Guilmon opened the chest and found the key to the door! He used the key to unlock the door, and noticed that the key immediately disintegrated. Huh…that's inconvenient. I hope I don't find any other locked doors. (HA!)

He went through the door and found himself in a boarded-up corridor. A single sword slash was enough to destroy the boards, allowing Guilmon to enter a gigantic lava-filled chamber, with numerous doors and ledges lining the walls. As Guilmon looked around the immense chamber in awe, he noticed a locked door to his left, and a wooden walkway leading past it. Guilmon frowned. Well, maybe I'll find another key! Whoever designed this place wouldn't just make it so only one locked door could be opened, right? With nowhere else to go, he started along the wooden walkway. There was a gap in it too big to jump across, but there was a ledge directly beneath the gap. He dropped down and saw a block set in the wall. He pulled out the block and used it as a stepping stone to jump over to the next section of walkway. When he reached the end of the walkway, he was on a ledge facing a stone pillar rising from the lava. A rope bridge went from the pillar to another pillar, and went from there to a ledge on the other side of the room. As Guilmon was about to jump to the pillar, he heard a rumbling noise. A huge geyser of lava erupted from the pit, right through the air he had been about to jump! Frightened, he waited for the geyser to subside, then jumped across. As he slowly started across the creaking rope bridge, a pair of DemiDevimon thought it would be a good idea to attack him. Guilmon started to draw his sword, then thought about what might happen if he accidentally cut the bridge ropes by mistake. Sheathing his weapon, he decided it would be better to run across the bridge and avoid the flying bowling balls. Once he was on the second pillar, he saw there was a large boulder blocking the door on the nearby ledge! Fortunately, there was a conveniently placed Bomb Flower planted on the pillar, which he plucked and used to blow up the big rock. Once the obstruction was gone, Guilmon went through the door.

He was now in a tall room with a shallow pool of lava surrounded on three sides by solid ground. Directly across from Guilmon was a ladder leading up to the exit door. A treasure chest sat on the remaining piece of land. Over a dozen jugs with water drops painted on them lay around the room. Guilmon picked up a jug and found it was full of water. Recalling that lava hardened when exposed to sudden coolness, Guilmon tossed a jug of water into the pool. It shattered, spilling water over the lava and forming a temporary platform. Guilmon hopped to the platform, then jumped over to the treasure chest. He opened it and found a map of the entire cavern! He put it away, picked up another jug of water, and used it to cross the lava pool to the ladder. He climbed up the ladder and went through the door.

He found himself in a room with a boarded up door. A boarded up alcove was at the end of the room. As Guilmon walked over to it, the boards broke, revealing a sword-wielding Gazimon. He killed the Gazimon, then tried to cut through the boards. Unfortunately, they were too thick. Guilmon looked over at the Gazimon's dropped machete-like blade and tested it on the boards. They broke instantly! Pleased, Guilmon went into the next room and used the machete to chop down another boarded up alcove, revealing a treasure chest containing a key! He took the key and exited the room through a nearby door, coming back to the lava chamber.

He was on a ledge with a plank bridge leading to another ledge. Unfortunately, a boulder blocked the end of the plank. However, there was a pair of Bomb Flowers growing from the wall right next to the boulder. Guilmon picked up a small rock and tossed it at a flower. It exploded, destroying the boulder. Guilmon went across the plank and found he was on the ledge where he had first entered the room. He used his new key to open the locked door. After the key disintegrated, Guilmon entered the door.

This next room had a large lava pit on the right side, a pair of boarded up alcoves, two torches, and a barred door. As Guilmon walked towards the door, a stick-wielding Gazimon burst out of one of the alcoves. Guilmon killed it, took its stick, and used it to burn away the thick boards on the other alcove, revealing a switch. Guilmon stepped on the switch, removing the bars on the door. Pleased with himself, Guilmon went through the door.

Guilmon almost lost his footing when he saw he was on a ledge high up the side of the mountain. He saw a rope bridge to his right with a Gazimon near the end. He crossed the bridge, killed the Gazimon, and saw a ladder leading to a higher ledge. As he started to climb it, he noticed a huge crack in the wall facing the middle of the ladder. Guilmon heard a great roar from far above, the mountain shook, and lava erupted from the hole! Guilmon stopped moving, allowing the lava to burst over his head (and somehow miss the ladder itself entirely.) When it had stopped erupting, Guilmon continued climbing and reached the next ledge. He noticed another ledge across a gap, with a narrow wooden walkway leading to it. A large crack sat in the wall in the middle of the walkway, and whenever the dragon above made the mountain shake, lava burst from it. Guilmon was about to sidle across the walkway when he heard a screech. He turned around and was barely able to get his shield up in time to deflect a strike from a Birdramon! The bird Digimon screeched and flew away then swooped back for another pass. Guilmon drew his sword, getting ready. As the Birdramon attempted to gouge him with its claws, Guilmon struck with his blade, slicing off one of the bird's legs. Birdramon howled in pain and swooped back at him. Guilmon drove his sword upward as the bird tried to take revenge for its missing limb, piercing it in the chest. The Birdramon vaporized, allowing Guilmon to load its data. With the bird dead, Guilmon sidled across the dangerous wooden walkway and onto the next ledge. He found a boulder blocking a door and a wooden ledge mounted on the wall. Guilmon jumped up and grabbed onto the edge of the ledge. Unfortunately, due to the configuration of the cliff wall, he was unable to pull himself up and sidle along the wood. Instead, he shimmied on the walkway until he could pull himself up on a ledge. He found a Bomb Flower, which he threw at the boulder to destroy it. He shimmied back over to the door, dropped down, and went inside.

The next room was small but tall, with ten black blocks stacked underneath a doorway. Guilmon noticed the lowered floor around the blocks and knew he could pull them out. He pulled out the bottom block of the middle stack, causing the entire stack to drop down. He climbed onto the block then pulled out the next block in front of him until it was halfway out. He climbed up that block, then stepped up to the next block, then pulled himself up through the doorway.

He was now in a room with several Chuumon running about. There was a block set in the wall underneath a ledge with a locked door, and a ladder leading to a thick boarded up alcove. Shuddering at the sight of the rats, Guilmon ran over to the block, pulled it out, and used it to climb up to the ledge. He found a pot full of sticks, pulled one out, and lit it with a nearby torch. He then took careful aim and hurled his flaming stick at the boarded up alcove, destroying the boards and revealing a treasure chest. He went over to the chest and opened it, finding the key to the door! He unlocked the door and went through.

He was outside the mountain again. A stone stairway went up the mountainside to his right. Guilmon climbed up it, jumping over a few gaps here and there, until he reached a ledge jutting far out from the side of the mountain. A door was on the ledge, as was a Birdramon nest. Guilmon tried the door, only to find it locked. He noticed that the Birdramon seemed to be guarding something shiny in its nest. Could it be the key? Guilmon ran towards the Birdramon, yelling to get its attention. The bird screeched and flapped into the air before swooping towards him. Guilmon killed the Birdramon like he had the other one and took the key from its nest, using it to open the door and go back inside the mountain.

He was now in a very dark Y-shaped corridor. A torch burned dimly nearby, near a pot with sticks in it. Guilmon picked out a stick and lit it with the torch. Using his new torch, Guilmon wandered down the corridor and found an unlit torch. He lit it; illuminating some of the corridor…and waking up the half-dozen DemiDevimon sleeping over his head. Guilmon fended off the bats with his flaming stick and ran for the exit, a barred door with a pair of unlit torches flanking it. He lit the torches, causing the bars to retract. He dropped his stick and headed through the door.

He was now on a ledge high above the big lava chamber. A rope bridge stretched across the gap to a door on the other side of the room. He crossed the bridge and entered the next room. It was mostly filled with lava, with one platform close to land. This piece of land was occupied by a large black insect with what looked like lava seeping through the cracks in its shell. It was a FlameWormmon, a fiery variant of the usually harmless caterpillar. It was known to hate water and breathe fire. It was a good thing for Guilmon then that there were several jugs of water near the door. He picked up a jug and hurled it at the FlameWormmon. The water shocked the bug, causing it to curl into a ball. Guilmon jumped over to the platform and struck the caterpillar with his sword until it vaporized. Guilmon loaded its data and noticed that a large lava geyser periodically erupted only a few feet away from his platform. As the lava tower subsided, Guilmon saw a ledge high up in the room, near where the geyser erupted. Recalling how he had used water jugs to make temporary platforms earlier, Guilmon got an idea of how to get to the top of the room. He hopped back to shore, grabbed a water jug, and jumped back to the platform. He threw the jug onto the spot where the geyser erupted and jumped on right before the lava shot up, taking Guilmon with it. When the lava reached its apex, Guilmon jumped off his solid lava platform and landed on the wooden ledge. He walked over to a door and went through to the next room.

He was now in a great vaulted chamber with an impassable lava moat bisecting the room. A large hook hung from the middle of the ceiling with no clear purpose. The half of the room Guilmon was in only had a couple of Bomb Flowers and a boulder-blocked door. The other half was a series of stairs and landings leading up to an imposing door set in the mouth of a stone monster. The door was held shut by a huge lock in the shape of a horned eyeball. After staring at the other half of the room, Guilmon could see no way to get across and tried to figure out his next move. He noticed the aforementioned boulder and obliterated it with a Bomb Flower. He exited the chamber through the new door.

Once again, Guilmon was outside the mountain, high above the clouds this time. He could hear the bellows of the enraged Skydramon much more easily at this altitude. A long stone stairway scaled the mountainside to his right. As Guilmon began climbing the stairs, he heard a rumbling noise. The stairs were collapsing from his weight! He hurriedly rushed up the steps as they started falling behind him, making a daring leap to a ledge at the end before the last step could take him plummeting into oblivion. He looked around and realized he was pretty much at the top of the mountain! A large gate in the wall opened onto an enclosed area with a cell at the back. Above the cell was the fearsome view of Skydramon. Skydramon was sitting in a bowl-shaped roost at the very top of the mountain, roaring in what sounded like pain and breathing fire. The great dragon god looked quite a lot like a Magnadramon, but had red scales instead of fur and no feline features. Strangely, it looked as if something underneath Skydramon was causing the dragon pain, since it looked as if she was struggling to keep from being pulled into the ground. But if the view of Skydramon wasn't enough, it was the sight of the person trapped in the cell that surprised Guilmon. It was Biyomon. "Biyomon!" he yelled, running through the gate. As he did so, a great portcullis slammed shut behind him. "Uh oh." Two sword-and-shield-wielding Gazimon guarding the cell stood up and charged towards him. Guilmon quickly disposed of the rabbits, then ran over to the cell. "Biyomon, are you all right?"

Biyomon sighed. "I'M fine, but you should look out for yourself!"

"Huh?"

"Look behind you!"

Guilmon turned around in time to see a Birdramon who had flown overhead drop a big ugly Hyogamon into the prison area. The ogre raised its ice club in the air, bellowed, and ran towards Guilmon. Guilmon raised his sword and shield in defensive mode. The ogre attempted to stab Guilmon with his club, but the shield kept deflecting Hyogamon's advances. Angry, the ogre raised his club in the air. At that moment, Guilmon let down his shield and rolled behind the ogre as Hyogamon swung his club where he had been only seconds before. Guilmon got out of his roll and hit Hyogamon with an upward sword slash from behind. The ogre screamed and dropped his club. Hyogamon spun around and tried to hit Guilmon with his meaty fists. Guilmon ducked and dodged each punch, then got close and slashed his sword across Hyogamon's chest. The ogre screamed in pain and backed away. His eyes went to his fallen club. He made a dash for it. Guilmon beat him to it, picked up the big icicle, and hurled it at the snow beast. The sharp tip of the icicle penetrated the beast's heart, killing him instantly. As Guilmon loaded the monster's data, the cell door opened.

Biyomon ran out. "That was incredible! Where did you learn how to fight like that?"

"From my sensei, MasterTyrannomon. Are you all right? Did those monsters hurt you?"

"No, they just threw me in the cell. They caught me while I was trying to calm down Skydramon. And Guilmon, I think I've found out why she's so angry!"

"Why?"

"There's a monster in the chamber right below Skydramon that's gnawing on her tail. If somebody could get to that chamber and defeat the monster, everything would be okay again!"

Guilmon nodded. "Okay, that's what I'll do. I'll find that monster and save Skydramon!"

"Before you go, let me give you something to help. It's what I used to get up here." She handed Guilmon a very long rope with a claw at the end.

"What's this?"

"It's called a Grappling Hook! We birds used it before we evolved wings. Here, I'll show you how it works. She ran up a set of stairs on the wall and glided to the top of a post sticking out of the wall. "Come on, climb up!" Guilmon ran to the top of the stairs. "Now, throw the claw end of the rope at the post I'm standing on." Guilmon hurled the end of the rope in the air. It struck the post and wound itself around tightly. "Now, swing out on the rope to get to that ledge over there!" said Biyomon, pointing to a ledge. Guilmon took hold of the rope and swung off the top of the stairs, gaining momentum and landing on the ledge.

He tugged on the rope, pulling the Grappling Hook back to him. "How'd I do?"

"Great job! Now, if you want to change directions when you're swinging, come to a stop and rotate until you're facing in the direction you want to go in. You can also climb higher up the rope to swing to platforms that you might not be able to reach from the bottom of the rope." She looked up at Skydramon sadly. "I've got to get going, Guilmon. The chieftain and the others need to know the real reason for Skydramon's anger. Good luck fighting the monster!" She spread her wings and glided over the top of the portcullis.

Guilmon found a passageway into the rocks and walked down it, coming to a gap with a grappling hook pole over it. Guilmon used his new tool to swing over the gap and continue down the path until he was back out in the open air again. He saw his way blocked by boards and cut them down, finding himself back on the mountainside. He was on a ledge directly above the ledge with the door leading back to the room with the eyeball lock. Guilmon dropped down and was about to go in, recalling that the hook he had seen earlier would probably work well as a grappling hook target. But then he realized he still needed a key for the big lock. Perhaps it was hidden in some part of the cavern he had not been to yet. Guilmon then noticed for the first time that there were a series of grappling hook post and ledges to the right of the door leading around the mountainside. Perhaps this was the path to the missing key. Guilmon swung across the gaps with his grappling hook and found a door going back inside the mountain. He entered it.

He was now in a rectangular room with two ledges connected by a rope bridge over a pool of lava. A Gazimon was patrolling the bridge. After Guilmon killed the Gazimon, he went to the end of the bridge and found, to his surprise, nothing. No door, no treasure chest, nothing. Guilmon pulled out his map to see if there wads a secret door and found, to his surprise, that this room had an exit directly below him. Confused, Guilmon peeked his head under the bridge and saw there was a strip of land directly beneath the bridge with a door at the end. Now he had to figure out how to get down there. Since the strip was too thin to jump down to without landing in the lava, there was only one way for Guilmon to get down there. He pulled out his sword and severed all the ropes holding the bridge up. The thing collapsed, allowing Guilmon to reach the door and exit the room.

He was now on a ledge high above the central lava chamber once again. To his right was a large birdcage with a round platform in it held up by four ropes. A lava geyser erupted directly beneath it now and then, shaking the platform. Seeing the platform as a way down, Guilmon stepped on and severed all the ropes with a spin attack. The platform fell all the way down to the lava pool, right in front of a ledge. Guilmon hopped off before the geyser could erupt again and entered a passageway leading into the wall. He came out in a chamber overlooking a lava pool. Two platforms were suspended from the ceiling by chains within jumping distance of Guilmon's ledge. He hopped across the platforms to a ledge, climbed a ladder, and found himself back out in the lava chamber, with a door behind him set in the mouth of a stone monster. It was held shut by steel bars. To make things worse, some burning FlameDemiDevimon decided to fly down from the ceiling and attack him. He killed the bats and noticed a hook hanging from the ceiling in front of him. It looked as if it was attached to some sort of switch mechanism! Guilmon threw his grappling hook at the hook then swung out into the middle of the room. His weight pulled down the hook, retracting the bars on the door. He stopped swinging, rotated around the rope, and then swung back to the safety of the ledge. He went inside the now unbarred door.

He was no in a room overlooking a lava pool. A hook hung from the ceiling. The ledge leading into the next room was set at a right angle to Guilmon's current ledge, meaning he couldn't swing directly over to it. That didn't prove to be much of a problem, as Guilmon simply rotated on his rope and then swung over to the ledge. Easy as pie. He walked into the next chamber and found several platforms suspended by chains over a lava pool. He hopped across the platforms until he found a grappling hook pole sticking out from the wall, which he used to swing over to a doorway. He went inside.

This new room featured a land bridge bisecting two pools of lava. At the other side of the room was a treasure chest surrounded by flames and a switch. There was also a FlameWormmon crawling about. Guilmon ran past the bug and stepped on the switch. The flames went out around the chest. He stepped off the switch to open the chest, only to see the flames switch back on again. He frowned and stepped back on the switch, turning off the flames. As he got off the switch, he saw the flames ignite once more. This was obviously a pressure switch. It needed constant weight to stay activated. Since Guilmon couldn't very well stand on the switch and open the chest at the same time, there was only one other solution. Guilmon drew his sword and ran towards the FlameWormmon. The bug reared back its head, about to attack. Guilmon slashed it in the face with his sword. The insect squealed and curled into a ball. Guilmon picked up the ball, ran over to the switch, and dropped the FlameWormmon on it. As the flames went out, Guilmon ran to the chest and opened it, finding an ornate key with a horned eyeball at the end. He had found the last key! Now all he had to do was get back to the chamber where the lock was, open it, and confront the beast within. Guilmon groaned, realizing he was going to have to do a lot of backtracking.

After backtracking quite a long way, Guilmon found himself standing in front of the fearsome lock on the final door. He took out the ornate key and inserted it into the lock. As he turned the key, the chains holding the lock in place shattered and the lock itself shrunk into nothingness. The door opened, beckoning Guilmon inside. As he went in, the door slammed shut behind him. Guilmon looked around this new chamber in interest. It was a great cylindrical room with a huge pool of lava in the center. Wooden platforms were attached to the walls at varying heights around the room. There was a large crack in the ceiling, and Skydramon's tail was wedged through it, looking as if it couldn't be pulled out. Guilmon looked around the room as he stepped towards the edge of the pool. Where was the beast? The chamber started to rumble. Guilmon stepped back, worried that the pool was going to erupt. The surface of the lava swelled and burst as a humongous monster ripped out of the pit, waving it humongous head in the air.

Picture a GranKuwagamon. Now, give it scorpion-like pincers for front limbs, an orange-yellow exoskeleton, take away the wings and eyes, and give it extra limbs. The result is a gigantic fire-breathing monstrosity known as FlameKuwagamon. Guilmon did what any sensible person would do when faced with this beast. He screamed and ran for the exit. As the Insectoid took notice of him, Guilmon struggled with the door to no avail. He gave up and turned around, gulping at the sight of the giant insect looming over him. FlameKuwagamon slammed both of her pincers into the ground on either side of Guilmon, then started to gather fire energy in those awful scissor jaws of hers. Frantic, Guilmon looked for a way to escape. Then he noticed that the end of Skydramon's tail, dangling high above, looked like a hook. In a flash of inspiration, he pulled out his grappling hook and hurled it at Skydramon's tail. The sudden pull caused the dragon to yank her tail upward, pulling Guilmon into the air and allowing him to swing to safety on one of the wooden platforms just as FlameKuwagamon unleashed her Pyro Scissors attack. As Guilmon released his rope and landed on the platform, there was a roar from above, and the entire cavern shook. The dragon tail tried to pull back through the crack, but it was stuck. The forceful attempts to pull it out caused huge boulders to fall down from the ceiling. The heavy boulders smashed down on FlameKuwagamon, cracking her shell and causing her to temporarily sink into the lava. As the Insectoid came back up a moment later and shook of the rocks, Guilmon had a brilliant idea of how to fight this insect. He hurled his grappling hook at Skydramon's tail again; using it to swing across the cavern before FlameKuwagamon could zero on his position and destroy his platform. As he dropped onto the platform, there was another roar, and even larger boulders dropped from the ceiling, smashing into FlameKuwagamon's armor and cracking it again. To Guilmon's surprise, the bug shook off the rocks, then lurched out of the lava, launching herself at his platform. Guilmon threw the grappling hook at the dragon's tail and managed to swing away at the last second, causing the insectoid to smash face-first into the wall. Guilmon released the rope and landed back on the floor. He looked up in time to see Skydramon finally manage to pull her tail out of the crack it had been wedged into, causing what looked like half the ceiling to cave in. The huge shelf of rock sent FlameKuwagamon plunging back into the lava, and for a second Guilmon hoped that the bug was dead. But it was not to be. FlameKuwagamon managed to push herself up a second later, struggling under the weight of the rocks. As she managed to shove off the huge mass of stone, her already damaged exoskeleton shattered completely, revealing her molten inner being. The Insectoid shrieked in pain and sought out Guilmon. The reptile was ready for this. He saw that now he had a chance to strike, for without her armor, the insect could be penetrated by his sword. As FlameKuwagamon started charging up her Pyro Scissors attack, Guilmon threw his grappling hook at the bug's head. The rope wrapped itself around the startled bug's head, pulling it down to Guilmon's level. The brave lizard pulled out his sword and drove it right through the roof of her mouth. There was a long pause as Guilmon pulled his sword out, then FlameKuwagamon screamed and lurched back, flailing her limbs in the air as she started to stiffen and petrify. As her body started to crumble to pieces in the lava, her head exploded off her shoulders and imbedded itself in the ground just to Guilmon's left. It then vaporized, allowing Guilmon to load the giant insect's data. The lava pool in the middle of the room hissed and began to cool, hardening into a solid mass. There was a gust of wind, and a swirling vortex formed in the center of the crust of the hardened lava. After Guilmon finished loading the bug's data, he strode into the sparkling vortex. It spun him up in the air and teleported him away.

The entire island shook. Biyomon and the other bird Digimon, who had been listening intently to her explanations of why Skydramon was going mad, looked up in surprise as they heard the mighty dragon bellow in joy. The ominous clouds over the island faded away, allowing the sun to shine through. The people rejoiced, their troubles finally at an end.

Guilmon reappeared in a gust of wind on the beach, somewhat disoriented from his teleport. "Guilmon, you did it!" The reptile looked up in time to see Biyomon and Hawkmon glide down to join him.

Guilmon grinned. "Aw, it was nothing. I just had to kill a giant fire-breathing insect, that's all."

Biyomon grinned. "You've done more than that, Guilmon! Skydramon is back to normal now, and all the dark clouds over the island have gone away, all thanks to you!" She looked at Hawkmon. "Wasn't there something you wanted to tell Guilmon?"

Hawkmon stepped forward, looking a little ashamed. "Guilmon, I'm sorry for how I acted earlier. You've shown me that courage and bravery is more than not being afraid, it's being afraid and doing something anyway, because you have to. As a result, I no longer need this to feel brave!" With that, he handed over Cherubimon's Pearl. "Here, this is what you came for, isn't it? It's yours now. Take good care of it, will you?" he started to turn away. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get my flying scale! So long!" He ran off.

Biyomon giggled. "He's so cute when he's brave…" Without warning, she gave Guilmon a big hug and pecked him on the cheek.

"Wh-what was that for?" he asked, startled.

"For saving me, for teaching Prince Hawkmon about courage, for saving Skydramon and our entire island…you know, for being a hero in general."

They heard a great roar and looked up. "Oh no, don't tell me she's angry again!" Guilmon said in dismay.

"No, listen…she's trying to say something!" They both listened as Skydramon bellowed out something in a strange, otherworldly language. "She was speaking in Japanese. She said, 'O Hero, thank you for saving me! O Hero, you are truly the one to save us all!'"

Guilmon blushed. "Can you tell her I said she's welcome?"

Skydramon bellowed. "No need, she heard you."

"Oh, all right then."

Biyomon turned away. "I've got to get going now. Thank you…for everything." She ran away.

"I think she likes you." Said Grani from his resting-place on the beach.

"Shut up." Guilmon muttered as he hopped on his back.

Grani chuckled, then got serious. "Guilmon, there were monsters in that mountain, weren't there?"

"Uh-huh."

"Hmm…Lucemon must have sent them in an attempt to bend the bird Digimon to his will through the dragon's anger. Good thing you put a stop to that."

Guilmon shrugged. "I did what I could. Where to now?"

"A place called Forest Haven, far to the south. It's a bit of a longer trip, so you should probably get some sleep while we're flying. You won't have much chance to rest when we get there, if what's happened here is any indication of Lucemon's growing influence..." The flying boat levitated into the air and rocketed away.

BWG: That was a pretty crappy chapter.

Me: It was a dungeon!

BWG: It was still crappy!

Me: ARRRGH! What am I gonna do with you?

BWG: Release me.

Me: I can't do that!

BWG: Too bad.

Me: Let's stop arguing and look at fanmail, okay?

BWG: YOU look at fanmail. I'll stay over here and piss you off.

Me: …

HVK, here are the answers to those questions you asked a while ago, if that's what you're asking me to answer now. I don't play Final Fantasy, but I prefer the sword, thunder magic, and as you know I look like an oversized Raichu. And thanks for the cattle prod. Hey BWG! Shape up or I'll use this cattle prod on you!

BWG: My armor is shockproof.

Me: Damn! Well, shape up or I'll use this new de-voluver on you!

BWG: That won't work on me!

Me: Oh yeah? (I zap him. There is no effect.) DAMN IT!

BWG: Ha-ha!

Me: (Grumbles) Please review!

BWG: Oh D3fan, the King is-

Me: SHUT UP!
