Gordianus: Okay Mr. Motomiya, where were you at 7:00 PM on August 30th?

Davis: Uh…I don't remember.

Veemon: I do! I do! You were playing with your imaginary friend!

Davis: Huh?

BWG: You have an imaginary friend? Ha! Loser!

Davis: I do not have an imaginary friend!

Veemon: Yesh you do, you play with her all the time! You even named her Kari, after Kari!

Davis: (Bewildered expression.)

Veemon: You keep shaying her name all the time while you're shinging in the shower, you shay her name when you're ashleep and you shtart drooling all over me while hugging a pillow and kishing it over and over, and shome daysh you tell me to watch TV in the living room while you play with her all by yourshelf in your room!

Davis: (Starts turning red while laughing nervously.)

Gordianus: Er, Veemon, just what is he doing with this imaginary Kari when he kicks you out?

Veemon: Well, he locksh the door and keepsh shaying her name over and over while making weird grunting and moaning noishesh, and when he'sh finally done the bed ish all wet and- (Davis quickly covers Veemon's mouth.)

BWG: You have an imaginary friend AND you're a bed-wetter? You really are a loser! (Everyone stares at him.) What?

Gordianus: Ah, we'll just be going now. Thank you for your time. (Grabs BWG by the arm and drags him away.) From now on, don't open your mouth during interrogations. It just embarrasses us and makes you look stupid.

BWG: I was just making fun of him for having an imaginary friend! He's, what, twelve or thirteen now and he still has one? Not to mention the bed-wetting thing! He was asking for it.

Gordianus: …I take it Ri2 never informed you about the Birdramon and the Honeybeemon?

BWG: Birdramon are big firebirds and Honeybeemon are poisonous little bugs, what's to know?

Gordianus: (Sweatdrop) …Forget it. I don't know why I even brought it up.

"Here we are! Mother and Child Isles!" said Grani.

Guilmon looked ahead and saw two islands, one tiny with a little grass and a palm tree, the other a big round island completely surrounded by a high stone wall. "Remind me why we're here again?"

"The big island is home to a powerful fairy who may be able to aid us in our quest. Both of the temples we are journeying to require new abilities. The fairy on the island will be able to grant you those abilities."

"Why can't we use the fairy back at Outset then?"

"Kazemon is not powerful enough to do what we require. No, only the greatest of fairies can give you the abilities you will need to progress in the temples!"

"Oh, okay."

Grani slowed down over the walled island then started lowering himself to the ground. They landed in a pool of water in the center of a small and beautiful grove full of DigiGnomes. In the middle of the pool was an ornate metal fountain that seemed to be spitting out sparks of pure magic. As Grani's engines shut down, a tiny pink figure rose out of the fountain. It had a red heart painted on its chest, two small feathery wings, two tiny arms, a curly tail, a gold ring around its neck, and a pair of antennae set above an adorable green-eyed face. Its eyes widened when it saw Guilmon. "Pi pipi pi pipipi, pipipipipipi pipipipipi pipipi pi. Pipi pipipi pipipipi pipipipipipi pipi pipi?" It squeaked.

Guilmon blinked. "Uh, what?"

"She said, 'I am MarineAngemon, Queen of the Fairy Kingdom. How may I help you, Waker of the Winds?'" Grani translated.

"Oh. Um, I need to get into the Earth and Wind Temples. Can you give me the abilities I'll need in there?" Guilmon asked.

"Pipi. Pipipi pipipi pipipi pi pipipipi!"

"'Yes. Take these gifts with my blessing.'" A pair of DigiGnomes flew over to Guilmon and vaporized. Guilmon loaded their data, and two very strange things happened. A pair of gold bracelets appeared on his arms, and two heavy metal boots appeared on his feet. As MarineAngemon started squeaking again, Grani instantly began translating. "'The Holy Rings on your arms will grant you the strength to lift the heaviest of objects, while the Iron Boots will give you the weight to withstand the strongest of winds. Click your heels once to summon them, and click them again to banish them.'" Guilmon clicked his heels together, and the boots vanished. Another pair of DigiGnomes flew up and vaporized. They changed into a ball of red fire and a ball of blue ice then flew into Guilmon's mouth. "'The Pyro Sphere and Cryo Sphere give you the ability to spit balls of pure elemental magic. The Pyro Sphere can melt the coldest of ice and light torches, while the Cryo Sphere can extinguish the hottest of flames and freeze certain enemies.'"

"Cool, thanks MarineAngemon!" said Guilmon.

The fairy smiled and started squeaking again. "'Use your new abilities to their utmost, Wind Waker. They will serve you well in the future.'" Grani translated. Then MarineAngemon said something else, winked at him, and vanished while giggling.

"What did she say?" asked Guilmon.

The boat actually looked embarrassed. "Er, you don't want to know."

"Yes I do!"

"Trust me kid, you DON'T want to know."

"Tell me what she said!"

Grani sighed. "Fine. She said you were just her type."

"…"

"To be honest I'm paraphrasing, what she actually said was a little too mature for your ears."

"…You were right, I really didn't want to know…"

After leaving Mother and Child Isles, they landed on a barren rocky island with a giant stone head set in the wall at the base of a mountain. Grani landed on the island's beach. "This place is Headstone Island, the entrance into the Earth Temple. That giant head blocks the cave leading into the temple. I'll bet you can get rid of it using those new Rings of yours. Go on, give it a try!"

Guilmon hopped off of Grani and walked over to the stone head. It looked WAY too big for him to lift, even with his new strength. He sighed. "Guess it can't hurt to try." He placed his claws underneath the head and tried to lift. He was astonished when, with a bit of effort, he was able to lift the entire thing over his head! "Wow!" He threw the statue away, revealing a cave. He looked at his claws, impressed. "I guess I really do have super strength now! That means I can finally lift that giant Hogmon back at my neighbor's house on Outset! Heh, wait till they get a load of me with THESE babies!" He entered the cave.

It was a small chamber, with a huge stone slab lying on the back wall, with the symbol of a harp etched into it along with several arrow symbols. Guilmon looked around and saw nothing that looked like the entrance to an ancient temple. He walked over to the giant slab and examined it. The arrow symbols looked like directional indicators…Guilmon pulled out the Wind Waker and played the following song: VVOO. As the music faded away, there was a gust of wind and a ghostly figure appeared. It was a strange and grotesque mix of squid and human, with purple hair and an oddly familiar golden harp. The ugly ghost looked at Guilmon. "I am Calmaramon, the Sage of Earth. Who are you?"

"I'm Guilmon, the new Wind Waker and wielder of the Invincible. I came here because you're one of the Sages that give power to the Invincible. Do you think you could tell me why it's not working?"

Calmaramon glared at him. "Well, maybe it's because I died a thousand years ago in the great flood so there's nobody to pray to the gods for the Invincible's legendary power?"

Guilmon sweatdropped. "Eh heh, I guess that never occurred to me. Does this mean you can't fix the sword?"

"Sorry, only a living Sage can do the job."

Guilmon drooped. "Great. Guess there's no hope then."

"I didn't say that. My children should have survived the flood. If one of my descendants is still around, she can take my place in the Temple."

Guilmon looked up. "Really? How do I find her?"

"You must find the one who possesses my instrument. Find her, and play the Earth God's Lyric-"

"The what?"

"The song on the slab. You must play it for her, and open her eyes as the next Sage of Earth. Bring her here before it is too late, for only with the Sage can you enter the temple." With that, Calmaramon faded away.

Guilmon tried to think. He knew Calmaramon's harp looked familiar. Where had he seen it before? In a flash, the answer hit him. "Of course!" He ran outside. "Grani, Grani, we have to get going right away!"

Grani blinked. "What's wrong? Did something happen in there?"

Guilmon jumped on the dragon's back. "Never mind that, we have to leave immediately!"

"Um, all right. Where to?"

"Dragon Roost Island!"

Atop a launching platform on Dragon Roost Island, Biyomon's eyes were shut tightly as she strummed the strings of her harp. Melodious music rolled off from the golden instrument, carried across the island by the wind. Up in her nest, the great Skydramon purred contentedly at the sound of her attendant's music. Biyomon felt as if she was one with her instrument. Nothing could break her out of her musical trance. Well, almost nothing. "Hey Biyomon!"

The pink bird stopped playing. "Guilmon?" She turned around and saw the red lizard behind her. "Oh my…it's so good to see you again! Where have you been?"

He shrugged. "Sailing the ocean, fighting monsters, rescuing damsels in distress. How have you been?"

"Great! Just after you left, Hawkmon went to get his scale from Skydramon. His confidence has skyrocketed thanks to your help. He said that every flap of his wings he owes to you. And so do I, for that matter!" she said happily.

He blinked. "What do you mean?"

"I got my scale too!"

"That's great!" he said excitedly. "So why aren't you off flying? Looks like a nice night to go out."

She shrugged. "I'd love to go flying, but nights like these are my favorite time to play music. I feel as if the very ground beneath my feet is helping me to play."

"Interesting…speaking of music, would you like me to conduct something for you? I learned this new song that I think you might like."

"Sure, let's hear it!" Guilmon took out the Wind Waker and played the Earth God's Lyric. After the final note had echoed into the distance, Biyomon frowned. "Strange…that song sounds…familiar. Can you play it again? I'd like to try it out on my harp."

"Okay." Guilmon played the song again. Biyomon mimicked the notes, resulting in a more harmonious rendition of the Lyric. As she played, the ghost of Calmaramon appeared beside her, playing the Lyric in perfect synch with the pink bird. There was no doubt in Guilmon's mind. Biyomon was the Sage of Earth.

When she stopped playing, and the ghost faded away, Biyomon gasped. "Oh my…I feel…very peculiar…" Her eyes rolled back in her head as she collapsed into Guilmon's arms.

"Biyomon!"

Biyomon stood in the darkness, playing the Earth God's Lyric on her harp. Calmaramon appeared out of the darkness, playing the same song on the same harp. Between them appeared a pool of water, divided into four parts to show the mark of the Catalyst. Hovering above the pool was the Invincible in its weakened state. As the magic of the Earth God's Lyric took hold, the sword began to gleam, and in a flash of light was transformed…

Biyomon woke up with a gasp. "Biyomon, are you okay?" asked the concerned Guilmon.

She blinked a few times, looking up at the stars. "Guilmon…I understand now. It is my destiny to take my ancestor's place in the Earth Temple and help you to defeat Lucemon."

Guilmon was surprised. "How do you know that?"

"When we played that song together, my eyes were opened. I am to be the new Sage of Earth. Please…please take me to my temple."

He shrugged. "Okay. But shouldn't we say goodbye first?"

She looked confused. "What?"

"Isn't that Hawkmon flying over here? Don't you want to say goodbye to him before we leave?"

She gasped. "Oh no, he must have heard my music! Guilmon, please get me out of here! We have to leave before he sees us!"

"But-"

"Now!"

Hawkmon descended towards the launching platform, taking out a flower as he did so. "Biyomon, I found this lovely flower that reminded me of your music and I thought you might like…" Hawkmon trailed off as he looked around in confusion, not seeing the object of his affections anywhere. "Biyomon?"

Some time later, they arrived at Headstone Island. As the two preteens hopped off, Grani gave them a few last-minute instructions. "Biyomon, as the new Sage of Earth, you will instinctively know what to do and where to go in the temple. Please guide Guilmon safely through the temple, but do not get involved in any fights. That's his job."

She nodded. "I will do my best."

"And Guilmon, you must follow Biyomon's instructions to the letter if you want to survive this temple. You must protect her at all costs from any monsters you may encounter."

Guilmon nodded. "You can count on me, Grani!"

Grani smiled. "Excellent. If you work as a team, the two of you should be just fine. Now get going, there's no time to spare!"

The two of them entered the cave and stood before the great stone slab. "What should we do?" asked Guilmon.

Biyomon took off her harp. "Conduct the Earth God's Lyric, please." He pulled out the baton and played the song for her. The bird strummed the tune out on her harp, and the slab started to rumble. A crack ran down the middle of the slab, splitting it in two. Light shone from the crack for an instant and then the slab crumbled to pieces, revealing a chamber with a deep well. Biyomon ran into the room and peered into the well. "This is the entrance to the Earth Temple. Follow me!" She jumped down into the well.

Guilmon looked apprehensively into the well. He could not see a bottom. He sighed. "Here we go…" He jumped in.

Gordianus: I'm sorry to trouble you Mr. Matsuki, but our evidence does point to you, even though it is highly doubtful that Guilmon and yourself, two of Ri2's favorite characters, would kidnap him.

Takato: That's okay Mr. Gordianus. Guilmon and I would be happy to help you.

Guilmon: What do you want to know?

BWG: Where were the two of you at 7:00 PM on August 30th?

Guilmon: Takatomon and I were on a date with Rika and Renamon.

Takato: We went to the movies and a restaurant. We could call them if you want to make sure we're telling the truth.

Gordianus: That won't be necessary. I see no reason to doubt your story. (Sighs) Come on BlackWarGreymon, let's go. Only two more suspects left.

Takato: Who are they?

Gordianus: Ryo and Monodramon Akiyama.

Takato: Huh. If I were you, I'd make them my prime suspects.

Gordianus: Oh?

Guilmon: Last month, Ryo lost to Takatomon in the first round of the annual city Digimon card tournament. He was really humiliated, even if Takatomon did lose in the very next round.

Takato: Ryo went into a depression. He and Monodramon started ignoring group meetings, causing trouble and constantly challenging people to card duels (Which he would always lose.)

Guilmon: The last straw was when they assaulted a group of ambassadors from the Digital World, nearly causing a war. Takatomon had no choice but to kick them out of the group.

Gordianus: Really…I think I'm starting to see the bigger picture. Come on BlackWarGreymon, the game is afoot!

BWG: What game?

Gordianus: …I mean that we're closing in on our kidnappers. Let's go!

BWG: Well why didn't you say so in the first place? (They leave.)
