Okay, I decided to finish the cliffhanger, cuz I'm nice like that…I don't own Digimon.

Eden resisted the urge to shut her eyes in fear. Taking a deep breath, she spoke out. "Um…why are you destroying this village?" she asked weakly.

The big Digimon growled at her. "Because I can." He opened his mouth to attack once more, but Eden stopped him again.

"But why? Do you not like the Digimon?" she asked, trying to stall time.

The big Digimon snorted, sending an air of bad nose breath at Eden. She resisted the urge to cough in disgust.

The others stared in shock/fear, while the Gekomon panicked. Their precious princess was about to be eaten.

"Come on, Gekomon! Are we men or Digimon?" The Leader shouted. The other three agreed & they attacked with Crash Symphony.

The attack surprised the big Digimon, who abruptly dropped Eden. She landed with an 'oomph', but scrambled up & ran to the group.

They immediately enveloped Eden in a hug; Caitlyn crying, Celina close to it & Nicky trying not to be seen cry.

Eden pulled herself out & smiled. "I'm fine, but we might want to take care of that." she pointed at the Digimon, who was currently destroying the village in blind fury.

The other three nodded. The Digimon attacked.

"Feather Slash!"

"Shock Shout!"

"Pop Attack!"

"Acid Bubbles!"

But the only attack that really did damage was Hawkmon's Feather Slash & even that didn't faze the Digimon greatly.

As the Digimon laughed evilly, the kids realized that the Digimon needed to Digivolve to do any real damage.

"But how do we do that?" Caitlyn asked. Everyone began talking at once, so they didn't notice the big Digimon powering up for another attack.

Their Digimon did though. "Watch out!" All eight (if you count the Gekomon) shouted, running towards them

The kids looked up to see a giant fireball came at them. It hits & smoke covers the area.

Coughing, Eden tried opening her eyes. "What happened?" she gasped out.

Coughing as well, Nicky answered. "Not sure. Are we dead?"

Caitlyn & Celina coughed. "I don't think so." They answered.

Once the smoke cleared, the kids gasped. Standing in front of them were 4 Champion Digimon!

"Wha…" Eden gasped out, staring at the giant bird Digimon in front of her.

"My words exactly." Nicky gulped, gaping at his own Digimon, a phantom beast Digimon.

"But how?" Caitlyn asked, looking at her own armored dragon Digimon.

"Not sure." Celina said, gazing at her insect Digimon.

The giant Digimon growled once more, but the four champions just glared right back.

Without a word, they attacked.

"Blast Laser!"

"X Laser!"

"Megaton Press!"

"Spiking Finish!"

This time, the attacks caused a lot of damage to the big Digimon. He stumbled back, & Jijimon attacked with Hang On Death.

This last attack sent the Digimon careening backwards, into the forest & farther.

The kids fell to their knees in shock. The 4 champions de-digivolve to their rookie forms.

They turned & ran to the kids.

"Are you OK?" a small dragon Digimon asked Nicky.

"DemiVeemon?" he gasped.

The Digimon laughed, shaking his head. "Nope. It's just Veemon now."

Nicky smiled right back. "OK, buddy."

Celina stared at the larva Digimon. "And you are…"

"Wormon." he offered.

Celina grinned. "Hi, Wormon."

Caitlyn stared at the mammal Digimon, eyes tearing. "Where'd Upamon go?" she asked.

The Digimon jumped onto her lap. "I am Upamon. Just bigger. My name's Armadillomon."

Caitlyn wiped her tears & hugged Armadillomon. "OK."

Eden, Hawkmon & the Gekomon watched smiling, until Jijimon appeared. "Are you four OK?" he asked.

The kids/Digimon stood up & nodded. "Yep." "Just fine." "I'm good."

Jijimon smiled. "I see. Well you better be going."

Eden frowned & cocked her head. "Um, but what about the mess?"

Jijimon waved a hand, shaking his head. "No need to worry. We'll be fine. Just go."

Eden opened her mouth to say something when Nicky quickly said. "OK, let's go."

Eden glared at him, but Nicky was busy herding everyone towards Native Forest.

Eden sighed, turning to Jijimon & bowed. "Thank you & we'll be sure to bring the Digimon back." She turned & ran after the others.

Jijimon smiled, then sighed. "Be careful, little one. Once Digimon find out about you, you'll be in more danger than you ever thought." Turning, he waddled back to the destroyed village.

Whoa…what does he mean danger. And what's so special about Eden? Please RR.
