Digimon: The Matrix Saga Chap.4
PreHysteria at DinoLand!


It has been a couple of hours since the group split up. Gouji and Kokuwamon were soon walking through a forest. Gouji looked at a strange device in Kokuwamon's hand.
"Hey," he said. "What is that?"
Kokuwamon looked up at Gouji. "Oh this?"
"Yeah that. Is that some kind of a tracking device?"
"Yes. It's going to help us find the other Warp-Digicore. It keeps saying it's near DinoLand, but I can't find that place."
"Hmmmmm," said Gouji as he continued walking. He looked at the device, not paying attention where he was going.
WAM! He had walked into a tree. Kokuwamon had not noticed this as he continued walking.
"Ow!" screamed Gouji. He then looked at the tree. He had an idea. He called for Kokuwamon. "Hey! Over here. We can use this tree. we can climb up to the top and try and get a bird's eye view of things. Maybe we'll see DinoLand!"
"Great idea!" replied the metalic bug.

Later......

"Hey, Kokuwamon!" said Gouji from atop the tree. "How will I know this DinoLand when I see it?"
"When you see a really big mountain, then that's it!"
Gouji looked around and saw a mountain. But not just one. Many mountains.
"Which one?"
"The really big one!"
Alot good that is going to do! thought Gouji. "Hey wait! I think I spot it!"
He then saw far behind the other mountains, a really big one. "Wow! It did do alot of good!"
"Come on down then, Gouji! Let's go," called Kokuwamon.
Gouji then climbed down from the tree and ran off with the digimon in the direction of DinoLand!

Later.....

After about another half hour of walking, Gouji and Kokuwamon had finally arrived at DinoLand.
"Hmmmmm. So this is it huh? This is where the Warp-Digicore is?" asked Gouji.
"Yep. Now let's go," said the rookie.
"You don't have to tell me twice!"
Soon the two took off in the prehistoric like land. It was very hot here. All kinds of trees were around and all kinds of digimon could be seen. Most of the Prehistoric type. Apemon, Brachiomon, Terramon, etc. They were everywhere.
"So where is this core? At what part of this place is it in?"
"I think the tracker is telling us to go....."
Kokuwamon held up the tracker and looked around. Soon the tracker went wild! It MUST have picked up something. It was pointed to the highest mountain in the Digital World. Mount Thesaurus.
"So we have to go up there?" asked Gouji.
"I guess so."
Right after that, a small furry creature scurried its way to the duo. It then looked up to Gouji.
"Ummmm, can I help you, ummmmm..." asked Gouji, not able to say the digimon's name.
"Prairiemon," replied the digimon. "Prairiemon's the name!"
"Oh, Prairiemon, is it?" asked Kokuwamon. "Well is there something we can do for you?"
Prairiemon then scurried his way up Gouji's arm and wounded up on top of his head. He looked down to him.
"Actually there is something I can do for you!"
The two seemed surprise by this news. What could this digimon possibly do for them?
"And what would that be?" asked Kokuwamon.
"By the look of that tracker in your hand, your looking for something huh?"
"Yeah, I guess you can say that," replied Gouji. He seemed quite suspicious. "What does that have to do with you?"
"Well I can help you. I know where everything is in DinoLand. So what you looking for?" asked the ferret like digimon.
"We are looking for...." began Kokuwamon. He was soon interupted by Gouji's outburst.
"Get lost, Ferret-face!" he shouted.
"No wait I can help you! So what are you looking for?"
"The Warp-Digicore," said Kokuwamon, who wasn't so judging as Gouji. "Where is it?"
A smirk soon crossed Prairiemon's face. "Follow me!"
He jumped off of Gouji, and ran, hoping the two would follow. Kokuwamon began to walk, but Gouji stood still.
"Aren't you coming?" he asked.
"Why should I? He could be a little weasel."
"But he looks like a prairiedog to me."
"Nevermind. You know what. We can follow him, but the minute he does something fishy, roast him," Gouji whispered.
"Okay," the bug answered, but as he turned the other way, he turned right back. Something was funny looking about Gouji. "Ummm, Gouji? Are you okay? You look like you're getting shorter."
"Really? I don't feel shorter."
The two began walking. As they walked following Prairiemon, Kokuwamon began to evaluate the situation. He knew what was happening to Gouji. There was only a matter of time.

Soon the three ended up in really big cave. It would have been dark, if it werent for the light coming through the roof of the cave.
"Hey, Kokuwamon," Gouji whispered. His voice started to get softer. "I thought you said the core was in the mountain?"
"I just realized this too. Somethings up."
Prairiemon stopped crawling and turned toward the two.
"Well this is where the core is. So if you don't mind I'll be on my way," he said as he headed back for the entrance. But soon he was stopped by Gouji and Kokuwamon.
"Your not going anywhere, weasel!" said Kokuwamon.
"Yeah! Now tell us why you...."
Right when that was said, a loud roar could be heard. It echoed throughout the whole cave. Gouji and Kokuwamon were stiffened by this noise. But not Prairiemon as he began to slowly walk away.
"What was that?" asked Gouji.
"I don't know!" He looked at Gouji. Now he was almost able to look right at him, and not up at him.
Soon the ground began to rumble. Gouji and Kokuwamon came closer to eachother. Then a gigantic red foot could be seen stepping out the shadows. Then another. Next a whole body. Soon the whole body could be seen.
"AAAAAHHHH! That's a Tyrannomon! They are really fierce dinosaur digimon! We gotta get out of here!"
Gouji then noticed that someone was missing. Prairiemon! He looked back towards the entrance and saw him blocking the way out with a big boulder. Gouji then began to run towards the exit.
"DON'T YOU CLOSE THAT DOOR! DON'T DO IT, PRAIRIEMON!" His shouting soon turned into squeeling. He then tripped. He looked at what he tripped over and noticed that it was his own clothes that caused this. They were much bigger than usual.
What's going on? Am I shrinking?
SLAM! Prairiemon had shut the exit up. They were trapped!
Kokuwamon ran to Gouji and told him to get up. The Tyrannomon had then opened his mouth and fire began to brew.
"Fire Blast!" it shouted as a big fire ball came from its mouth and headed for them.
WOOSH! the fire ball had just missed them and hit the boulder. They were now free!
"Come on Gouji! Let's go!"
Gouij stood up, holding his pants up as high as he could, and then ran with Kokuwamon.
They made it out alive. But Tyrannomon was still behind. They began to continue running.
Soon Gouji and Kokuwamon came across a cliff. Kokuwamon looked down, and saw a lake of water. That was there only hope. He turned back and saw the Tyrannomon gaining closer.
"Gouji! We have to jump! Now!"
"Right!" Him and Kokuwamon took a great leap, way down to into the lake.
SPLASH! They swam back up to the surface.
Kokuwamon looked at Gouji and noticed he had gotten younger again and was having trouble swimming. He swam over to him and put him on hid back.
"Kokuwamon? Why am I getting younger?" asked Gouji.
"It's the effect of the Warp-Digicore. You are turning into a baby. Now let's go and...."
The two looked up and saw Tyrannomon standing high above them. He was powering up for another attack!
"Fire Blast! Fire Blast! Fire Blast!" he shouted over and over again. Fire Blasts showered towards the lake. Although all of them missed the two, they hit the water pretty hard, and evaporated all the water in the lake! They were out of luck.
"This is not fair!" cried Gouji, as he soon began to cry.
"Stop crying like a baby!" shouted Kokuwamon.
"Like I can help it!" he shouted back. The Tyrannomon soon jumped down from the cliff and landed in what was left of the lake. Kokuwamon and Gouji got up and ran as fast as they could. After a while, Kokuwamon had to carry Gouji on his. Soon they made it to Mount Thesaurus.
As Kokuwamon flew half up towards the top, he dropped off Gouji near a rock.
"I want you to wait here," he said. "I'm going to get the Core!"
Kokuwamon then took off and flew towards the top, with the Tyrannomon right behind him! When he made it towards the top, Kokuwamon fell near a big crater. He was tired out. Then, that's when Tyrannomon came towards him.
Kokuwamon looked at the digimon.
Looks like it's the end for me, he thought.
Tyrannomon got ready for another Fire Blast.
"Fire Blast!" he shouted, as it was released from his mouth. Kokuwamon thought it was over, until he noticed he was still there. He then looked down and saw it headed for Gouji instead!
"GOUJI! NOOOOOO!" Right when Kokuwamon screamed Gouji's name, his digicore began to glow. Then from within the crater, a glowing orb came out and flew towards Kokuwamon. "The Warp-Digicore!" Soon he fused with it and a digivolution was spurred.
"KOKUWAMON! CROSS DIGIVOLVE TOOOO...... BEETMON!"
There was a lot of glowing, and then, in the place of the once rookie digimon, there was a newly evolved champion. It was a brown beetlemon on all fours with large wings. It was Beetmon!
Beetmon flew too Gouji's rescue, putting out the Fire Blast with its gigantic wings.
Baby Gouji looked at this big digimon, as it turned toward Tyrannomon. Beetmon opened his mouth and a bright light could be seen. He was ready to attack.
"Scarab Gun Fire!" The blast came from his mouth in the shape of a big scarab beetle. Scarab GunFire had collided with the Tyrannomon and vanquished him! Slowly, Gouji began to return to normal.
"Hey! I'm getting better! But what happened?"
Beetmon looked at the ground, and noticed it started to rumble. And rumble. Soon it started to crack!
"Gouji! I'll explain later!"
"Hey why is the Mountain shaking?"
Gouji hopped on Beetmon's back. "I don't think this mountain is a mountain, but a VOLCANO!"
The volcano then exploded in a rage of fire, but luckily, the two made it off safely.

Later when the two landed, Beetmon had shrunken and became Kokuwamon again. As this happened, Gouji's watch had then turned into a Digital Watch. Then a small fairy like creature flew away.
Not to long after, Prairiemon came running towards the duo again.
"Hey look!" said Gouji, now back to his normal self. "If it isn't Ferret-face! You tried to kill us!"
"Sorry I had to get away! But your friend James is in serious trouble!"
"James? Trouble!" said Kokuwamon and Gouji. They got suspicious. "Are you sure?"
"Yes now hurry! He is near the Gekomon Villiage! Hurry!"
"I know where that is! Now let's go Gouji!"
Then the two were off.
After they left, Prairiemon had smelled something. Or better yet, someONE. He turned and then was choked by the neck.
"So did you tell them where to go?"
"Yes, sir," replied Prairiemon. "They are headed there now."
"Good now don't forget the girl and especially James. Now go!"
The being dropped Prairiemon then walked off.
