Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, I do own Jason Johnson, and yamatos.girl,
who knows – more to the point, Ralph Wiggum, Demon Spawn, firewall0, and
Sara-chan have been kind enough to let me use their characters.
Coming together
The laboratory was dark and deserted. No one had been here for generations. Until now. A dark form began his task. Not one being knew what the form was doing, all who entered the building were not seen again, however you could hear their terrified screams at night. He worked there day and night, until the one fateful day when the digital world was changed forever. He perfected his darkest creation: the Dark Fever. This disease infecting all digimon rapidly spread across the entirety of the digital world. Starting then normal digimon became wild and uncivilized; anarchy thrived. The Digimon sovereign sought to restore order but failed. They summoned new protectors in hopes of combating the source of the pandemonium.
Jason was lying on his stomach when he regained conscience. He looked around to try to get his bearings but to no avail. He did not recognize anything around him. Then he heard a noise. It seemed to have originated from behind him. Jason tried to get up but found that he couldn't, something was weighing him down. He looked past his shoulder to see the form that seemed to be his captor. There stood a small form, around 1-2 feet in height. From first glance it appeared to be a bear, but it was too small even for a cub. The form was rummaging through his backpack, throwing everything out, clothes, the tent, a pair of goggles, until he emerged with a packet of food. After it jumped off the lying body, he sat under a tree and began to fumble with the bag. Jason got up after the weight had been removed from his back. He gathered everything that he could find and replaced them inside his bag. He kept his goggles out and placed them around his neck. Finally he found enough courage to say:
"Give me back my food!"
The little bear stared at him and then replied, "Why should I?"
This startled Jason, he had expected the bear to run away, but instead it talked to him.
"You…you…you can talk?" Jason demanded.
"Sure, what's so strange about that?" the little bear asked.
"Well, where I come from, bears can't talk," the teenager explained.
"I'm not a bear, I'm a digimon, and my name is Cubmon," the bear-like being stated.
Obviously perplexed Jason asked, "What's a digimon, and more importantly, where are we?"
This time it was Cubmon's turn to be perplexed, "Digimon, it's short for digital monsters. And we're in the digital world."
Before he could ask any more questions, there was some rustling in the bushes. Cubmon immediately became on guard. Jason looked in the direction of the noise and noticed that someone or something was spying on them.
"Hey Cubmon, will you just give me the food?" Jason asked loudly, winking at Cubmon as he moved closer to the bushes.
"Here," Cubmon said, "Take it, I can't open it anyway." He threw the bag so it was just in front of the bushes. Upon approaching he began to notice some details of the spy, for one thing it wore a pinkish hat. He stopped in front of the food and bent down to pick it up. He placed it inside his bag and said, "You can come out now, I've known that you were there for some time."
The crouching figure sighed; it then stood up and entered the clearing. Upon first glance Jason immediately recognized her as a girl, and she was shorter than him, so he figured he was probably older. The girl waited for him to make the first move.
"Hello, my name is Jason Johnson. Who are you?" he asked in the tone that he used when he didn't want to frighten someone. The girl made no move to reply. Just then a pink furball with a long silky tail burst into the clearing. Her wing-like ears perked up as she asked, "Why did you run away?"
Pixie started to move away from the pink creature, and she hid behind Jason, figuring that he would do her no more harm then the pink newcomer or the brown bear that was moving beside the young man.
"Who are you," Cubmon asked.
The little furball replied, "I'm Soleilmon, I was there when she woke up." She used her ears to point towards Pixie. "But she ran away before I could ask her for her name. She seems very shy."
"So we gathered," Jason replied. "Would you mind telling us your name? As you can tell, no one here will hurt you."
The girl began to gather her courage and began to say, "My name is Pixie…"
Just then another noise interrupted them. This time it was not a rustle, but a yell. To them it seemed feminine, but as if it was coming from two different people. Jason began to run out of the clearing towards the source of the noise, but then he stopped when he saw that no one was following him.
"Aren't you coming?" he asked. And then he disappeared from view.
"Right behind ya JJ," Cubmon called as he raced after the teen.
Pixie sighed. She did not now these people, or creatures, but she could sense one thing. She could understand that no one here would harm her. So she rushed after the two, carrying Soleilmon in her arms.
As the quartet reached the origin of the sounds they understood that the source was not crying out in fear, but it was as if she were searching for someone.
"Kevin," the voice called.
"Hey Kevin," another slightly higher-pitched voice repeated.
Medusa Yanson was searching for her little brother as the group of four approached her. She was standing next to a bright yellow ball with orange eyes and ears similar to those of a rabbit. When they noticed the four's approach they stood their ground and waited to see what they would do. As they got closer, Jason was about to introduce himself and the group, but Soleilmon beat him to it.
"Hi, What are your names? I'm Soleilmon, these are Pixie, Jason, and Cubmon."
Medusa replied, "Oh, I'm Medusa, she says that her name is Himon."
"I'm sensing a trend here, do all of you "digimon" have mon on the end of your name?" Pixie asked.
"I never really thought about that," Cubmon admits. "Yeah, I guess we do."
"Who's Kevin?" asks Jason.
"My brother," Medusa states. "I saw him before I was surrounded by a strange light. Then I woke up with her on my back." She indicates Himon. "I'm not sure if he's here or not, but I'm still worried."
"We'll help you look for him," Cubmon assures her.
"Don't split up, we don't want to get lost," Jason instructed.
Thus they began their search. All of their commotion drew the attention of four forms in pairs. These pairs approach the group of six from opposite sides. The four reach the main group at close to the same time, causing an unintended pincer movement. The first duo was comprised of the blond young man. As Jay Davis entered the clearing he saw two humans and a digimon facing him while the other three were behind them facing the other direction. A small green and white ball of feathers flew right beside him. The small digimon opened its beak to say "Not quite the welcoming party you expected, eh Jay?"
"No its not Demiwashimon, but at least there are other humans here."
Cubmon relaxed from fighting posture. Jason walked over to Jay and offered his hand. "The name's Jason," he said.
"Jay," Jay responded taking the offered hand.
"We'll finish introductions later," Jason states. "Right now something else is getting close, I can hear them rubbing against bushes and breaking twigs. We can only hope that they are friendly."
Just then Savannah Laurel and a bald digimon with two forelimbs emerged from the underbrush at the opposite end of the clearing. She scanned over the beings that occupied the space. There were two balls of fluff of different colors watching her as well as a person. She could make out the forms of three more humans behind them, as well as two additional creatures.
'I hope they're friendly,' she thought. Just then a girl with red hair motioned for the two fluffballs to relax. She walked forward, and introduced herself in a British accent. "Hello, my name is Medusa, you wouldn't have happened to see a thirteen year-old boy around have you?"
"No I haven't. My name's Savannah, in case you were wondering. And this little guy claims to be named Motimon."
"A pleasure," the small bald being said.
Suddenly, they all heard a cry similar to that of a horse. They looked around the clearing to see if the cry emanated from the forest. Just then the cry became louder. The group of ten frantically searched their surroundings until Himon finally found the cause of the noise.
"Up there," she cried indicating the sky with her ear. They looked up to see a white horse, with wings.
"It looks like Pegasus," commented Savannah.
"I don't think Pegasus had a red visor with a horn on its face," Pixie pointed out.
"That's not 'Pegasus', that's Unimon," Soleilmon explained.
The horse turned and started heading towards them.
"Um, is it just me or does it seem to have a black aura surrounding it?" Jay queried.
"No Unimon, not you too," Cubmon cried.
"Not you what? I get the feeling you guys aren't telling us something," ventured Jason.
"Talk later," Motimon warned. "Now just run!"
"Try not to get separated, just run into the forest," advised Demiwashimon.
The Five teenagers ran from the clearing just in time to hear Unimon cry "Aerial Attack." A white energy flowed from his mouth to the clearing where the ten just stood. When the explosion cleared only a crater remained.
While fleeing, the group rounded a bend and smashed right into a black haired figure.
"Why don't you watch where you are going," She snapped.
A small red form with short arms and legs and had a star on its forehead piped up, "Yeah you could have hurt Sarah."
"Quiet Nekomon," the girl revealed to be Sarah snapped. "We don't even know who they are."
"Forgive us, We're being chased by some psychotic winged horse…" Jason tried to explain before he was interrupted.
"I don't care if you were chased by the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. That still doesn't excuse what you did," Sarah complained.
Before the two could argue anymore, a blast of energy exploded right next to them. The group, now completing a dozen began to run once more.
"By the way, I'm Jason, and these are Pixie, Medusa, Jay, and Savannah," Jason explained while they ran.
If Sarah made any response the constant explosions drowned it out. The dozen made their way through the forest until they emerged inside a canyon with steep walls. There was a cave-in dividing the canyon into two equal sections.
"I don't suppose anyone brought any rope," Sarah stated.
"He does," Cubmon exclaimed pointing to Jason.
"We don't have time to climb," Medusa pointed out.
The end of their argument came from the form of Unimon, emerging form the forest. He corralled the twelve inside the canyon.
"We're trapped!" Jay exclaimed.
"Bubble blast", four voices cried. Himon, Motimon, Cubmon, and Demiwashimon threw themselves towards the enemy. Small bubbles shot out of their mouths. Unimon did not seem to feel them. He knocked them all back with a well-timed headbutt.
Nekomon followed them raising both arms. She prepared to scratch the horse but it flew out of the way, sending her sailing past him and into the chasm walls.
Soleilmon hopped with the group and shouted "Sunshine Squirt." It seemed to get brighter with her glowing. She let off a small beam of light towards the enemy but Unimon was not fazed. He just moved forward trying to trample the pink being.
"Nooooo," the teens cried.
Thinking the digimon disposed of Unimon had his sights on the humans and began to charge up for the attack, "Aerial…"
All of a sudden, the watches that each teenager began to glow. The light radiated towards the small forms. Then something happened.
"Cubmon digivolve to…" Cubmon said as the light hit him. Enveloped in the light that originated from Jason's watch, He began to change. For one thing, he grew somewhat, and now stood on all four limbs; he now had a lupine figure. "…Coyomon." The light faded revealing the gray fur coat that covered the entirety of his body.
"Soleilmon digivolve to…" Soleilmon cried as a pink light hit her. Surrounded in the light generated from Pixie's watch, she too began to undergo a metamorphosis. She shifted to be four legged as well. Now wings replaced her ears, and a horn protruded from her forehead. "…Kakumon." The pink light was gone, but she remained pink, with beige stripes running across her body, including her tail. Her face became similar to that of a canine.
"Himon digivolve to…" Himon shouted as she became enclosed in the burgundy light from Medusa's watch. She grew, not as much as the other two, but was still larger than her previous form. She takes an almost human form. "…Ashemon." Upon closer inspection, you can tell that she has wings protruding from her backside, much like a sprite.
"Demiwashimon digivolve to…" Demiwashimon states as the green light originating from Jay's watch encompasses his small form. His form grows to match the size of the first two, His wings grow out more, and he has a more substantial beak. His newly formed talons become razor sharp. "…Washimon." The light fades. His feathers retain their green hue, but the tips of his wings have "finger" less gloves. He also wears flight goggles over his eyes.
"Motimon digivolve to…" Motimon exclaims as the orange light illuminates his form. His form shifts to that of a big beetle. The light fades; you can see the yellows and oranges lining his exoskeleton. Don't forget his green eyes.
"Nekomon digivolve to…" Nekomon calls as the purple light hits her. She also turns tetrapedal. Her form becomes slender and graceful, much like a feline. "…Kodokumon." Her cinnamon color fur brings out her green eyes.
Then the light fades entirely. Where the small beings once stood, now bigger creatures took their place.
"What happened to them?" Pixie queried.
"They seem to have evolved," Medusa replied. "That is if they are the same creatures."
"Call them digimon," Jason said. "That's what Cubmon said that they were."
"…attack," Unimon finished. The newly grown digimon leapt into the attack's path, but none seemed seriously injured. It mainly scratched them.
"Let's put him out of his misery," Coyomon announced as he sprung forward. "Speed prowl." Coyomon began to move so fast that he became a blur. He ran towards Unimon and sunk his teeth into the horse's flesh, the momentum burrowing his fangs deeper than a normal bite would.
"Coming through," Washimon stated as he flew and approached the attacking digimon. He uses his razor sharp talons to dig into Unimon's back. "Emerald flame," he called. Then a green fireball emerging from his beak struck the back of the visored assailant.
At the head of the horse Tentomon tried his attack as well, "Super shocker," He yelled as electricity coming from his flapping wings hit the horn.
Kodokumon used her attack to try to knock Unimon off balance. She opened her mouth to cry "Screech shocker." The sound vibrations slammed into the side of Unimon's head. As he tried to clear his head from the ringing Ashemon prepared her attack. "Ashe Shower," she cried, sending a rain of burning materials to hit the horse squarely in the chest.
"Pink Blaster," Kakumon screamed. She let a pink wave of energy head straight for the visor protecting Unimon's eyes. It hit it causing it to crack.
However all of these attacks proved to be in vain. Unimon set his sights on the humans once more. But this time he got more than he bargained for. As he fired his attack, a blue four-legged digimon, with modest ears, and a knife protruding from its back dropped into the canyon in front of the teens. His eyes were protected by a set of sunglasses. Just as the attack was about to hit he stood up on his hind legs, removed the knife, and stated, "knife protection" A purple light surrounded himself and the six teens.
"Where did that thing come from?" Savannah asked.
Just then a voice coming from the top of the canyon, "I sent him." The source turned out to be a brown haired boy with blue eyes. "You looked like you needed some help. His name is Bladeramon."
"Thanks but who are you," Jay asked.
"The name is Michael Scott." Michael replied.
"Introductions later, right now we finish this." Bladeramon states. The energy shield dissipated and he used his knife for offence rather than defense this time. "Knife throw,." A purple energy shot out of the blade. This caused Unimon to convulse and begin to disintegrate. The beating that the six had put him through allowed one final attack to vanquish him.
The seven teenagers cheered in delight as their new friends rushed over to them. Michael made his way down the walls of the ravine to join the main group.
"Alright spill it," Jason said to Coyomon. "You said not you too when you heard about the black aura. What is so special about it."
"It means that he had been infected with the Dark Fever, a disease that has been spreading over the last few weeks. No one knows where it came from, all we know is that it turns digimon crazy," Coyomon replied in a sad tone. "I've lost many friends to it."
"Is this disease a natural phenomena, or did something cause it?" Michael asked.
"I fear someone created it…in order to destroy the digital world." Bladeramon admitted.
"Anyone know how we get back home?" Sarah asked.
"It stands to reason that if putting on these watches brought us here, taking them off will have an opposite effect," Pixie hypothesized.
"In any case, I'm not going anywhere," Jason said firmly. "Whoever created this 'Fever' has got to be evil. It reminds me of a quote: 'the only way for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.' I'm not going to turn my back on any problem like this."
"I'm staying too. Any living creature has a right to live freely, not subject to this disease," Medusa calmly states.
These points brought up unanimous appeal. Thus the teenagers forfeit their lives for the time being. They now have new lives trying to conquer the disease.
Dang this is a long chapter. Sorry it took so long to post, but I was bitten by the writers block bug and I couldn't think of a good way to introduce you all. Sorry for your lack of appearance who knows – more to the point, I promise you will have a bigger role next chapter. Many thanks to firewall0, not only for the picture page, but also for those brainstorming sessions. Well I suppose you've listened to my rambling long enough. If you like the story thus far and want others to enjoy it just tell them to read it. I could use more reviews. No flames though, I'm allergic.

"Give me back my food!"
The little bear stared at him and then replied, "Why should I?"
This startled Jason, he had expected the bear to run away, but instead it talked to him.
"You…you…you can talk?" Jason demanded.
"Sure, what's so strange about that?" the little bear asked.
"Well, where I come from, bears can't talk," the teenager explained.
"I'm not a bear, I'm a digimon, and my name is Cubmon," the bear-like being stated.
Obviously perplexed Jason asked, "What's a digimon, and more importantly, where are we?"
This time it was Cubmon's turn to be perplexed, "Digimon, it's short for digital monsters. And we're in the digital world."
Before he could ask any more questions, there was some rustling in the bushes. Cubmon immediately became on guard. Jason looked in the direction of the noise and noticed that someone or something was spying on them.

He placed it inside his bag and said, "You can come out now, I've known that you were there for some time."
The crouching figure sighed; it then stood up and entered the clearing. Upon first glance Jason immediately recognized her as a girl, and she was shorter than him, so he figured he was probably older. The girl waited for him to make the first move.
"Hello, my name is Jason Johnson. Who are you?" he asked in the tone that he used when he didn't want to frighten someone. The girl made no move to reply. Just then a pink furball with a long silky tail burst into the clearing. Her wing-like ears perked up as she asked, "Why did you run away?"
Pixie started to move away from the pink creature, and she hid behind Jason, figuring that he would do her no more harm then the pink newcomer or the brown bear that was moving beside the young man.
"Who are you," Cubmon asked.
The little furball replied, "I'm Soleilmon, I was there when she woke up." She used her ears to point towards Pixie. "But she ran away before I could ask her for her name. She seems very shy."
"So we gathered," Jason replied. "Would you mind telling us your name? As you can tell, no one here will hurt you."
The girl began to gather her courage and began to say, "My name is Pixie…"
Just then another noise interrupted them. This time it was not a rustle, but a yell. To them it seemed feminine, but as if it was coming from two different people. Jason began to run out of the clearing towards the source of the noise, but then he stopped when he saw that no one was following him.
"Aren't you coming?" he asked. And then he disappeared from view.
"Right behind ya JJ," Cubmon called as he raced after the teen.
Pixie sighed. She did not now these people, or creatures, but she could sense one thing. She could understand that no one here would harm her. So she rushed after the two, carrying Soleilmon in her arms.
As the quartet reached the origin of the sounds they understood that the source was not crying out in fear, but it was as if she were searching for someone.
"Kevin," the voice called.
"Hey Kevin," another slightly higher-pitched voice repeated.
Medusa Yanson was searching for her little brother as the group of four approached her. She was standing next to a bright yellow ball with orange eyes and ears similar to those of a rabbit. When they noticed the four's approach they stood their ground and waited to see what they would do. As they got closer, Jason was about to introduce himself and the group, but Soleilmon beat him to it.
"Hi, What are your names? I'm Soleilmon, these are Pixie, Jason, and Cubmon."
Medusa replied, "Oh, I'm Medusa, she says that her name is Himon."
"I'm sensing a trend here, do all of you "digimon" have mon on the end of your name?" Pixie asked.
"I never really thought about that," Cubmon admits. "Yeah, I guess we do."
"Who's Kevin?" asks Jason.
"My brother," Medusa states. "I saw him before I was surrounded by a strange light. Then I woke up with her on my back." She indicates Himon. "I'm not sure if he's here or not, but I'm still worried."
"We'll help you look for him," Cubmon assures her.
"Don't split up, we don't want to get lost," Jason instructed.
Thus they began their search. All of their commotion drew the attention of four forms in pairs. These pairs approach the group of six from opposite sides. The four reach the main group at close to the same time, causing an unintended pincer movement. The first duo was comprised of the blond young man. As Jay Davis entered the clearing he saw two humans and a digimon facing him while the other three were behind them facing the other direction. A small green and white ball of feathers flew right beside him. The small digimon opened its beak to say "Not quite the welcoming party you expected, eh Jay?"
"No its not Demiwashimon, but at least there are other humans here."
Cubmon relaxed from fighting posture. Jason walked over to Jay and offered his hand. "The name's Jason," he said.
"Jay," Jay responded taking the offered hand.
"We'll finish introductions later," Jason states. "Right now something else is getting close, I can hear them rubbing against bushes and breaking twigs. We can only hope that they are friendly."
Just then Savannah Laurel and a bald digimon with two forelimbs emerged from the underbrush at the opposite end of the clearing. She scanned over the beings that occupied the space. There were two balls of fluff of different colors watching her as well as a person. She could make out the forms of three more humans behind them, as well as two additional creatures.
'I hope they're friendly,' she thought. Just then a girl with red hair motioned for the two fluffballs to relax. She walked forward, and introduced herself in a British accent. "Hello, my name is Medusa, you wouldn't have happened to see a thirteen year-old boy around have you?"
"No I haven't. My name's Savannah, in case you were wondering. And this little guy claims to be named Motimon."
"A pleasure," the small bald being said.
Suddenly, they all heard a cry similar to that of a horse. They looked around the clearing to see if the cry emanated from the forest. Just then the cry became louder. The group of ten frantically searched their surroundings until Himon finally found the cause of the noise.
"Up there," she cried indicating the sky with her ear. They looked up to see a white horse, with wings.
"It looks like Pegasus," commented Savannah.
"I don't think Pegasus had a red visor with a horn on its face," Pixie pointed out.
"That's not 'Pegasus', that's Unimon," Soleilmon explained.
The horse turned and started heading towards them.
"Um, is it just me or does it seem to have a black aura surrounding it?" Jay queried.
"No Unimon, not you too," Cubmon cried.
"Not you what? I get the feeling you guys aren't telling us something," ventured Jason.
"Talk later," Motimon warned. "Now just run!"
"Try not to get separated, just run into the forest," advised Demiwashimon.
The Five teenagers ran from the clearing just in time to hear Unimon cry "Aerial Attack." A white energy flowed from his mouth to the clearing where the ten just stood. When the explosion cleared only a crater remained.
While fleeing, the group rounded a bend and smashed right into a black haired figure.
"Why don't you watch where you are going," She snapped.
A small red form with short arms and legs and had a star on its forehead piped up, "Yeah you could have hurt Sarah."
"Quiet Nekomon," the girl revealed to be Sarah snapped. "We don't even know who they are."
"Forgive us, We're being chased by some psychotic winged horse…" Jason tried to explain before he was interrupted.
"I don't care if you were chased by the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. That still doesn't excuse what you did," Sarah complained.
Before the two could argue anymore, a blast of energy exploded right next to them. The group, now completing a dozen began to run once more.
"By the way, I'm Jason, and these are Pixie, Medusa, Jay, and Savannah," Jason explained while they ran.
If Sarah made any response the constant explosions drowned it out. The dozen made their way through the forest until they emerged inside a canyon with steep walls. There was a cave-in dividing the canyon into two equal sections.
"I don't suppose anyone brought any rope," Sarah stated.
"He does," Cubmon exclaimed pointing to Jason.
"We don't have time to climb," Medusa pointed out.
The end of their argument came from the form of Unimon, emerging form the forest. He corralled the twelve inside the canyon.
"We're trapped!" Jay exclaimed.
"Bubble blast", four voices cried. Himon, Motimon, Cubmon, and Demiwashimon threw themselves towards the enemy. Small bubbles shot out of their mouths. Unimon did not seem to feel them. He knocked them all back with a well-timed headbutt.
Nekomon followed them raising both arms. She prepared to scratch the horse but it flew out of the way, sending her sailing past him and into the chasm walls.
Soleilmon hopped with the group and shouted "Sunshine Squirt." It seemed to get brighter with her glowing. She let off a small beam of light towards the enemy but Unimon was not fazed. He just moved forward trying to trample the pink being.
"Nooooo," the teens cried.
Thinking the digimon disposed of Unimon had his sights on the humans and began to charge up for the attack, "Aerial…"
All of a sudden, the watches that each teenager began to glow. The light radiated towards the small forms. Then something happened.
"Cubmon digivolve to…" Cubmon said as the light hit him. Enveloped in the light that originated from Jason's watch, He began to change. For one thing, he grew somewhat, and now stood on all four limbs; he now had a lupine figure. "…Coyomon." The light faded revealing the gray fur coat that covered the entirety of his body.
"Soleilmon digivolve to…" Soleilmon cried as a pink light hit her. Surrounded in the light generated from Pixie's watch, she too began to undergo a metamorphosis. She shifted to be four legged as well. Now wings replaced her ears, and a horn protruded from her forehead. "…Kakumon." The pink light was gone, but she remained pink, with beige stripes running across her body, including her tail. Her face became similar to that of a canine.
"Himon digivolve to…" Himon shouted as she became enclosed in the burgundy light from Medusa's watch. She grew, not as much as the other two, but was still larger than her previous form. She takes an almost human form. "…Ashemon." Upon closer inspection, you can tell that she has wings protruding from her backside, much like a sprite.
"Demiwashimon digivolve to…" Demiwashimon states as the green light originating from Jay's watch encompasses his small form. His form grows to match the size of the first two, His wings grow out more, and he has a more substantial beak. His newly formed talons become razor sharp. "…Washimon." The light fades. His feathers retain their green hue, but the tips of his wings have "finger" less gloves. He also wears flight goggles over his eyes.
"Motimon digivolve to…" Motimon exclaims as the orange light illuminates his form. His form shifts to that of a big beetle. The light fades; you can see the yellows and oranges lining his exoskeleton. Don't forget his green eyes.
"Nekomon digivolve to…" Nekomon calls as the purple light hits her. She also turns tetrapedal. Her form becomes slender and graceful, much like a feline. "…Kodokumon." Her cinnamon color fur brings out her green eyes.
Then the light fades entirely. Where the small beings once stood, now bigger creatures took their place.
"What happened to them?" Pixie queried.
"They seem to have evolved," Medusa replied. "That is if they are the same creatures."
"Call them digimon," Jason said. "That's what Cubmon said that they were."
"…attack," Unimon finished. The newly grown digimon leapt into the attack's path, but none seemed seriously injured. It mainly scratched them.
"Let's put him out of his misery," Coyomon announced as he sprung forward. "Speed prowl." Coyomon began to move so fast that he became a blur. He ran towards Unimon and sunk his teeth into the horse's flesh, the momentum burrowing his fangs deeper than a normal bite would.
"Coming through," Washimon stated as he flew and approached the attacking digimon. He uses his razor sharp talons to dig into Unimon's back. "Emerald flame," he called. Then a green fireball emerging from his beak struck the back of the visored assailant.
At the head of the horse Tentomon tried his attack as well, "Super shocker," He yelled as electricity coming from his flapping wings hit the horn.
Kodokumon used her attack to try to knock Unimon off balance. She opened her mouth to cry "Screech shocker." The sound vibrations slammed into the side of Unimon's head. As he tried to clear his head from the ringing Ashemon prepared her attack. "Ashe Shower," she cried, sending a rain of burning materials to hit the horse squarely in the chest.
"Pink Blaster," Kakumon screamed. She let a pink wave of energy head straight for the visor protecting Unimon's eyes. It hit it causing it to crack.
However all of these attacks proved to be in vain. Unimon set his sights on the humans once more. But this time he got more than he bargained for. As he fired his attack, a blue four-legged digimon, with modest ears, and a knife protruding from its back dropped into the canyon in front of the teens. His eyes were protected by a set of sunglasses. Just as the attack was about to hit he stood up on his hind legs, removed the knife, and stated, "knife protection" A purple light surrounded himself and the six teens.
"Where did that thing come from?" Savannah asked.
Just then a voice coming from the top of the canyon, "I sent him." The source turned out to be a brown haired boy with blue eyes. "You looked like you needed some help. His name is Bladeramon."
"Thanks but who are you," Jay asked.
"The name is Michael Scott." Michael replied.
"Introductions later, right now we finish this." Bladeramon states. The energy shield dissipated and he used his knife for offence rather than defense this time. "Knife throw,." A purple energy shot out of the blade. This caused Unimon to convulse and begin to disintegrate. The beating that the six had put him through allowed one final attack to vanquish him.
The seven teenagers cheered in delight as their new friends rushed over to them. Michael made his way down the walls of the ravine to join the main group.
"Alright spill it," Jason said to Coyomon. "You said not you too when you heard about the black aura. What is so special about it."
"It means that he had been infected with the Dark Fever, a disease that has been spreading over the last few weeks. No one knows where it came from, all we know is that it turns digimon crazy," Coyomon replied in a sad tone. "I've lost many friends to it."
"Is this disease a natural phenomena, or did something cause it?" Michael asked.
"I fear someone created it…in order to destroy the digital world." Bladeramon admitted.
"Anyone know how we get back home?" Sarah asked.
"It stands to reason that if putting on these watches brought us here, taking them off will have an opposite effect," Pixie hypothesized.
"In any case, I'm not going anywhere," Jason said firmly. "Whoever created this 'Fever' has got to be evil. It reminds me of a quote: 'the only way for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.' I'm not going to turn my back on any problem like this."
"I'm staying too. Any living creature has a right to live freely, not subject to this disease," Medusa calmly states.
These points brought up unanimous appeal. Thus the teenagers forfeit their lives for the time being. They now have new lives trying to conquer the disease.
Dang this is a long chapter. Sorry it took so long to post, but I was bitten by the writers block bug and I couldn't think of a good way to introduce you all. Sorry for your lack of appearance who knows – more to the point, I promise you will have a bigger role next chapter. Many thanks to firewall0, not only for the picture page, but also for those brainstorming sessions. Well I suppose you've listened to my rambling long enough. If you like the story thus far and want others to enjoy it just tell them to read it. I could use more reviews. No flames though, I'm allergic.
