Chapter 3
"Hey, how do you light a fire? Marin? Alexx? Uhh...Julie?" "I know why you hesitated you little fart. LET ME SHOW YOU." Marin watched in amazement. "Wow, Julie, do you go camping a lot? My family never liked the idea.""Sure, Marin. My dad was a big fan, he'd always bring my brother and I along." So went the dinner conversation. Then Alexx looked up while enjoy here roasted trout. "Hey Ben, I was always curious. Your family moved to town the same time mine did, but you never told me where from. Somewhere in Britain?"
"My mother's from the city of Syracuse in upstate New york. My father's from Liverpool. I grew up in Liverpool with my father's family. Then we moved to Oglethrope City when I was five. And my mother moved my brother and I to Martynville a year and a half ago. I guess that's about it. What about your family?"
"I was born in Erie and grew up in Geneva, 60 miles from Martynville and Centreburg. My last name is really Ellington. It changed when my family seperated back to my mother's maiden name and with official consent. Interesting, huh?"
"Of course, we have the two homebodies over here- yeah, they're smiling. What's your family like Chris? Julie?" "My family always lived in Centreburg and my sister Alicia and I live with my mom.""and my family lives a mile away. My dad, the camper, works at the chocolate factory in Evansville. I have one little brother. Ha, I suppose that's it..."
The Digimon listened while they ate, intent on remembering everything they hear. Suddenly, Nemeamon asked a question. "Chris, what's a mom and a dad?""People who you inherit genes from biologically, but adults that care for you and you love them back emotionally. Is that good?" Marin grinned. "Spot on! Chris has a heart, he just doesn't use it!" Everyone, even Chris, smiled.
When they were finished, the sun was at high noon in the cerulean sky, with birds and bees and the stream gurgling energetically. It was totally clear, and one could have seen for miles if he was high enough. "All done!""I'm stuffed!""Ready to go!" ...? Why did it go silent suddenly?"Shhh! Look at the Digimon!" They were alert and had looks of concern on their faces. Then Elecmon spoke slowly and quietly. "Get-to-the-ground-now!""Huh?" KAH-BOOM!
A row of trees in front of them exploded into flame. Tiny embers rained down around them. "Ah, crap, now what?""TAKE COVER CHRIS!" Gasp "Is that a Digimon!? WHAT ABOUT OUR DIGIMON!!!!" A huge Lizard-like creature covered in fire and at least 10 feet tall appeared. "It's FlareRizamon! He must have been drawn to the fire! Digimon, we need to protect the humans!" Attack!" A variety of attacks suddenly appeared.
Super Shocker! An electric shock shot off of Elecmon as he went down to all fours.
Sienna Bomb!Large clumps of Earth flew up and shot off from Zoremon's fingertips.
Typhoon Wind! Avismon flew up and beat his wings so that a huge wind blew down.
Oasis Plume! Jets of water shot from the ground in a line straight at the monster.
"WOW." That's what the kids could say as they stared at the display of force there little partners had created. Florizamon was hurt, and he fled into the woods to the east, smoldering the trees he touched. "Did you guys DO THAT!""AMAZING""I'M IMPRESSED" "AWESOME." But the Digimon were all tired out from their battle. After a minute, Avismon cast a worried glance towards the group. "We'd better get out of this area, or Florizamon's going to be back for round two. We might as well head the only direction we can to avoid him. That leads to the Mindalay Mountain. Everybody ready?"
