Digimon: The Matrix Saga Chap.2
The Last hope, James Williams! Escape to Machine City!


"Who are these creatures?" asked James. His whole body shaking as he stared into the eyes of the lead Ogremon. "Are they more digimon?"
"Yeah," replied Floramon. "These are Ogremon. They are real nasty virus type digimon. They do what they want, when they want. PU! Except take a bath!"
"The Ogremon heard this. They seemed real annoyed by this comment.
"Ummmm, Floramon," said Elise. "Let's not make the really big green smelly digimon mad by insulting them."
"Oh and I guess what you just said was a compliment?" asked Gouji.
Everyone, including the Ogremon, just stood there. It was like that for almost a minute.
"Why isn't anyone doing anything?" asked James.
"Ogremon think kinda slow. He's probably thinking who to take to eat," said Monodramon.
"Why not take all of us?"
"Don't give him any ideas!"
Then they noticed the leader looking at Gouji! Then he leaped for him. Gouji closed his eyes covering his head. But for some reason he was still there. it turns out he wasn't aiming for Gouji, but for Elise!
The Ogremon grabbed Elise and turned around, giving the signal for the other ones. As he grabbed Elise, he made her drop her goggles. Before they could get away, Floramon and Kokuwamon jumped and attacked the leader, begging him to let Elise go. Soon after the other four Ogremon grabbed the two rookie digimon.
"HEY! LET THEM GO!" shouted James and Gouji as they ran for the gang. The leader raised his long bone club to swing for the two.
"Pummle Wack!"
Gouji duck as the club came for him, and instead hit James.
"James!" shouted Monodramon. James went hurdling into Monodramon, and the two went flying into some bushes.
"NO!" shouted Gouji, but that is all he got to do, as the other Ogremon grabbed him to and then they all leaped off.
After a few minutes, James gained consiousness. As he looked up into the sky, he then remembered what had happened. He shot up and looked around. He then saw Monodramon sniffing around.
"Ow!" said James as he rubbed his head. "What are you doing, Monodraman?"
"It's MonodraMON! Not man! Please get it right. I'm sniffing around to get a good scent of the Ogremon. Good! I found it! Eewww. Yuck! I wish I didn't find their scents."
"What are those behemoths going to do with the others?"
"First they are going to wait til it gets dark, and then they are going to eat them."
"NO! They can't do that! We have to go get them now!"
Monodramon was silent for a while.
"Yes I admit we have to get them, but.... we have to make a quick stop."
"A stop!? Where!?"
"..... To Machine City."
"Machine City? What is that?"
"It's a city in this world. I'll explain on the way."
"But what about...."
"Don't worry about it. We WILL get them before sun down. Now follow me."
James didn't know what to do. He really wanted to go help the others, but he knew nothing of this world, The Digital World. So he had followed Monodramon. As he began walking he tripped over something. He picked them up. They were a pair of goggles.
"Hey! These belong to that girl. The one from the future. What was her name? Elise that's it! She would want these."
James got up and strapped the goggles to his forhead.
Then the human and the digimon began there journey to Machine City.

Meanwhile.....

The gang of Ogremon arrived at there home. A cave. Their captives remained quiet the whole trip. Not uttering a word. Soon the group went into the cave. This was there home. As they walked in, they tossed the kids and the digimon in the corner. To guard them so they wouldn't escape was rookie digimon named Shamanmon.
The two digimon, Floramon and Kokuwamon, looked at the Shamanmon, looking at as if he were nothing at all.
"I know what your are thinking: Just because of my size, you think you can take me out easily, huh? Well I will have you know I have trained very hard, uploading all the data from many digimon. It's only a matter of time until I digivolve."
That statement just gave up all hope they had of escaping.
"At sundown," stated the lead Ogremon. "You four will be eaten by all of us."
"Not good," said Gouji. "Not only are they gonna eat us, but our only hope of escaping is that kid James, and he knows nothing. We are doomed."
"Ah yes," said the Ogremon. "The other boy and the digimon. Verde!"
As he said this, one of the Ogremon stepped forward.
"Go find this boy and the digimon. And bring him here alive."
"Yes, sir."

Meanwhile.....

The two, James and Monodramon, continued walking and walking.
"How come your not talking Monodramon?"
"Huh? I'm not 'not' talking. I'm just not talking."
"Ummmm okay. Well I have a question: What was that that Ogremon said when he hit me?"
"He said 'Pummle Wack'."
"What is that?"
"Well that was his attack, like me. I have an attack called Beat Knuckle."
"What are these attacks?"
"When we digimon were born, as I learned, we were installed with survival skill programs. These soon became to be used as attacks. They helped us survive and get stronger. Until eventually we digivolve."
"Digivolve?"
"That is the process that we undergo when we get strong enough, or collect enough data, and change. We get stronger."
"Oh." James still was confused.
Soon, Monodramon stopped. He looked around. And sniffed.
"Are we the...."
"Shhhhhh! Okay did you do it? PU!"
"Did what? WOAH! What is that smell? It smells like....."
"It smells like the kinds smell you would get from fumes. Fumes coming from a factory! A FACTORY! Yes we are there!"
Then Monodramon then sprinted forward. James then followed. They cut through various bushes, hopped over many rocks and such. But then he stopped again.
"Ummm I don't see anything, Monodramon."
"Then what is that smell?"
Soon the digimon figured out what the smell was.
"James.... RUN!"
Soon, without questions ask, they bolted forward. Behind them came leaping a tall green figure from tree to tree. "Don't look back!"
They continued running for almost half an hour. When the smell was lost, they were safe. But then Monodramon noticed that they made it. They had made it to Machine City!
"WE MADE IT JAMES! James?" He looked around and saw that James had passed out a few steps back.

Later......

"Huh?" said James as he finally gained consiouness after about an hour. "Where am I?"
He sat up and looked around and noticed he was in a bed. He looked around and saw a strange room with all kinds of gadgets and do-hickeys. He then noticed Monodramon. Monodramon looking out the window. James got up out of bed and walked towards the window.
"Monodramon what are you looking at?"
"James? This.... is Machine City!"
James looked out the window and was amazed by the sight. He saw flying vehicles, all kinds of digimon, and buildings everywhere! It was a marvelous sight.

"So why did we come here?" asked James. "Is there something here to help us."
"Ummm kind of," answered Monodramon.
"Wow look at this place! It is fantastic!"
Monodramon looked at James. He noticed something funny about him.
"Hey James, was peice of hair on your chin always there?"
James checked his chin and felt for it. He noticed not just one, but many peices of hair on his chin.
"I never noticed that before. Hmmmmm."
They continued walking. Monodramon was holding an object. It looked like a somewhat of a tracking device.
"Hey what is that?" asked James, as he continued to rub on his chin.
"Oh this? Its a tracker. Kind of like a compass. It will help us find something that can help us take out those Ogremon."
"What is it?"
"I'll explain later. The tracker is picking up something."
Soon they began to run for an old factory in Machine City. But James caught a glimpse of the sky and noticed it getting slightly dark. As they ran, a digimon quietly followed them.

"Well it is soon getting dark, humans," said the Ogremon. "And then we will be having our dinner."
"Ummmm," thought Gouji. He had a plan. "Which one of us are you going to eat first?"
"Huh?" exclaimed the others. "What are you doing!?"
"Quiet, Elise," he whispered. "They think slow remember. So this should by us some time to think of something as they think.
"Oh."
The group began to disscuss the situation.

Meanwhile.....

James and Monodramon entered the factory. As james stepped in, he caught a glimpse of his relfection from a mirror. He had gotten taller and had a full chin of hair.
"What is wrong? HUH! MY VOICE!" It had gotten much deeper. He was now a grown man!
But Monodramon was not paying attention.
"It's here!"
"What's here? Answer me Monodramon!"
The Digi-Core! That's the thing that can help us!"
"What does it do?"
"You'll see."
CRASH! was the sound as a tall green creature came crashing in.
"It's an Ogremon! Thats what I was smelling!" shouted Monodramon. "Quick! Find the core!"
"What!"
WAM! The Ogremon slammed Monodramon to the floor. Soon he began pummeling the rookie. He brought the club down again to smash the digimon, but it was haulted in the air by a hand. It was James.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" James clenched the club. Because he was a man his strength was increased. But soon it began to decrease. He looked at his hand, as it began to wrinkle. His beard was getting longer and his hair began to fall out. He was now an old man.
WAM! He was knocked out cold again!
"JAMES! NO!" screamed Monodramon. As he continued to call his name, his chest began to glow. It was his Digi-Core! It was reacting with another Digi-Core. Soon a blue digi-core rose from the ground and then fused with Monodramon. He was getting stronger and stronger!
"CROSS DIGIVOLVE! Monodramon CROSS DIGIVOLVE TO...... Gigararumon!"
