Serpentmon
The group kept heading forwards, not bothering to wonder where they were. It had been about 4 hours since the battle with Tidalmon. During that time, Steve and Mike had had four arguments (the most recent had been the most powerful), John had asked sixteen question, Violet had kicked two trees and Mary had drawn five pictures, all of the Digimon.
Mary loved drawing. She was having the time of her life drawing the their Digimon. She had mastered most of the Digimon in all the Digimon series, as well as the humans, so it was nice to have new Digimon to draw. But she was still worried that Jewelmon would leave her if she digivolved.
Jewelmon had noticed Mary's occasional worried expressions. She had mentioned it to Pearlmon, who promised to ask Violet about it. Still, Jewelmon couldn't help thinking, "Maybe it's something to do with Snowmon digivolving to Icemon. Or maybe it's something else," This last thought worried her. What if Mary wouldn't tell her what was wrong? It might be something that could hurt her.
Little did Jewelmon know that she was half-right. Mary's worry could endanger her.
But then, Mythicmon yelled something that shattered everyone's thoughts. He'd been flying about a metre or so in front of the group, so he could see further," Hey, I think I can see a cave or something like it. We could sleep there if it's deserted."
Everyone looked up at the word `sleep`. Sure enough, there was something that looked like a cave not far away. Without saying anything, Steve raced towards it. Mike smiled and sprinted after him.
Steve may have been an expert in the water, but Mike was the fastest boy in their school. He soon overtook Steve and reached the cave first. He then lent against the wall to wait for the others.
As soon as Steve reached the cave, he blew up at Mike," Think you're so great, don't you! Always coming first in races and everything!"
Mike shot back," Well, at least I don't splash around like an idiot at every chance I get!"
Mary and John had arrived by now, and sighed. Mary turned back to see where Violet was and saw her about three metres away. She'd got slower walking since the Tidalmon episode. Everything seemed to catch her attention now. But when Pearlmon saw them waiting, she tugged her trouser leg, and she speeded up. When she saw the fight, she sighed and put her hands on her hips.
She sighed so loudly that both Steve and Mike heard her and looked up. When they were both looking at her, she turned on her see-into-your- soul look. They both looked away. That look had ended every argument they'd had since getting to the Digital World. Well, apart from the one that had taken quite a lot of yelling. The boys' ears wouldn't stop ringing for five minutes afterwards.
Violet shook her head and walked towards the cave. When she got there, she inspected it. "Big," she commented. Turning round, she noted the lake and smiled even more. Turning to look at the others, she said," It looks like a good place to spend the night."
"Yes, but there is the question of food. What on earth are we going to eat?" John asked, raising an eyebrow.
Steve, Mike and Violet all had rucksacks (John had one too, but it was filled by his computer and stuff for it), so they rummaged through them. Steve pulled out a swimming medal, a picture of his family (his parents were divorced), goggles, swimming trunks, a pair of sunglasses and a packet of plain crisps. Oh, and keys for his house were in his pocket.
Mike found a packet of biscuits, a spare pair of trainers (ew! Think of the smell!), a medal for winning the most races at the previous sports day at school, a baseball cap and a melting chocolate bar. He quickly broke up the chocolate bar into five and gave everyone a piece (the Digimon insisted they could find their own food). His keys were in the front pocket.
Violet produced her anorak, a first-aid kit, two pairs of sunglasses (one had black frames and the other had silver. Cool), a ham sandwich and her laptop. They decided to use the food sparingly until they could find more. The Digimon pointed out that with all the fruit trees, they could afford to save the food until it was needed, unless it started to go bad.
After a good meal, Steve and Mike both volunteered to keep watch. They agreed, for once, that Steve would go first, then Mike would take over halfway through the night.
The kids and their Digimon were all asleep in about half-an-hour, except for Mike. He just couldn't sleep. He went to sit by the lake, but Steve saw him.
"What are you doing still awake? Don't you think I can deal with it?" Steve frowned.
"No, I just couldn't sleep," Mike replied. Then, before Steve could say anything else, he hurried to the other side of the lake. Fishing around in his pocket, he found his mini-recorder.
This wasn't the usual kind of recorder. It had been sent from his grandfather in Africa and it was one of those small, carved flute things. He stared at it, taking in the shape.
His grandfather was dead now, but when he had been alive he and Mike had been best friends. He had been the only adult who acted as if his brother (Nick, genius. Think SAM here) was better. The old man had always called Mike `Tiger`, so the recorder was in that shape. Sighing as he remembered his friend, Mike lifted the recorder to his lips and began to play.
The sound of the music drifted over the campsite, waking Firepentmon. He crawled out of the cave and saw Mike. After a few minutes quick crawling, he lay down next to Mike and said," Nice tune."
Mike jumped. He'd been playing with his eyes closed, so he hadn't noticed Firepentmon. Blushing slightly, he replied," Thanks."
Judging from his friend's expression, he wanted to hear more, so Mike settled down again to play an African song his grandfather had taught him.
A peace covered the lake, to be stopped abruptly by a thunderous roar. Steve's eyes widened as he saw the trees behind Mike start to shake. Running to the edge, he yelled," Hey, Mike! Behind you!"
Mike turned round and then jumped out of the way. A huge, green head with two spikes on it and black eyes pushed through the trees, jaws snapping to get at him.
The others had heard the roar and run outside, "Hmmm," Violet said," I'm guessing we're in his cave." Mary clapped sarcastically.
"Oh man, that's Tuskmon. He's a dinosaur Digimon who attacks with his Slamming Tusk. However, he's so big he can easily just chomp his enemies into lots of tiny bits instead," Pearlmon moaned. (Remember him? He was one of the Digimon Phantomon summoned in 01)
The Digimon stomped forward, revealing the rest of his body. He had two red and black horn things coming out of his shoulders and a skull-and- crossbones sign below the left one. A line of spikes went along his back and he had a dangerous looking tail.
Mike started to back away, but the Digimon was to fast, hitting him with his tail, knocking him into a tree and rendering him unconscious.
"Mike!" Steve yelled, surprising himself with the way he felt about Mike being dead. The thought tore him apart.
Tuskmon reached a huge clawed hand towards Mike, picking him up easily and transferring him to it's jaws. However, before it could chomp him in half, his digivice began to shine.
A ball of light, just like the one when Snowmon had digivolved, shot out and hit Firepentmon. As soon as he was hit, he yelled out, "Firepentmon digivolve to Serpentmon!"
When the light cleared, an extremely long snake was in Firepentmon's place. He was blood red, with a pink mask with white wings in it placed over his eyes, with holes for the eyes. He had gold rings with silver stripes attached to the head and joining it to the body. At the end of the long, long body was a gold and silver thing, like the thing at the end of a rattlesnake's tail. There were two more sets of white wings, the largest below the rings that represented a neck. The other, smaller pair was below the rattlesnake thing (All hail me, the mistress of descriptions!)
Taking out his laptop, John typed in the name that Serpentmon had yelled out and read," Serpentmon: a snake Digimon that no one has ever seen the entire face of. He's the longest Digimon in Digiworld, so his Fire Suffocation attack always works."
Serpentmon's tail shot out, curled around the body in Tuskmon's mouth and deposited it next to the others. Violet immediately sat next to him and took out her first aid. He had a nasty bruise on his back from where the tail had hit him, and an even nastier cut on both of his arms from the teeth.
Serpentmon shot several times round Tuskmon, tying him up and smiled. Glowing suddenly, he shouted," Fire Suffocation!"
Tuskmon's eyes grew large with trying to breathe, then a black ball shot out of him. He tumbled to the ground.
Serpentmon flew over to Mike and went back to Firepentmon. When his claws touched Mike, his eyes opened slightly. He smiled when he saw Firepentmon, but then he felt the pain in his arms and grimaced. Violet said," You need to sleep for a bit. Don't worry, we'll tell you what happened when you wake up."
When she'd finished, she passed him a drink of water. He drank it, with some help from John, then he passed out.
WILL MIKE BE ALL-RIGHT? AND WHAT PART DOES THE BLACK BALLS PLAY? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT DIGIMON: DIGITAL MONSTERS!
Author's Note: OK, here's the deal. I'm going to start doing the `1-every- five-reviews` when people realise I actually EXIST. Also, I think I'll dedicate every episode to a) someone who reviews, b) someone who asks NICELY in a review, and c) someone who does all of the above, PLUS writes good stories, PLUS doesn't insult me. So, going on these guidelines, GUARDIAN GREYMON! THIS IS FOR YOU!!!! (Gets dazed eyes, starts walking like a sleep-walker) I succumb to your Jedi powers.
