Chapter 6
He wakes to someone sitting at the mouth of the cave his hiding in. He looks at the odd Digimon, for this one looks to be across between a lion and a kid. He then decides to curl up more into a ball. He lost his only friend and he had been crying. He couldn't stop them from capturing his friend.
"You ok?" He hears a voice ask him. He doesn't answer that question. He only hopes that this Digimon would get bored and move on. Then he hears a voice read out this, "Aroomon, rookie level Digimon. Vaccine type and a Kangaroo fighter. Attacks are Wind Fury and Storm Focus." He then turns to look at the brown Digimon and finds that the Digimon was looking at a Digivice. He blinks at this and notices that this one was colored differently then his. He watches as the Digimon lets go of his device and it then hangs around that Digimon's neck.
He then watches as the brown Digimon then moves into the cave and towards him. He glares as the Digimon continues to approach him. "So, you hurt or something?" The Digimon asks him. He blinks at this, kind of stunned that this might be the reason why the Digimon was interested in him. He sighs mentally and says, "I'm not hurt. You can leave now." The other blinks and then looks at him with his green eyes. Then the Digimon just sits down and waits. He decides to ignore this guy and hope that he leaves him alone.

They had traveled to the mouth of the Ma River. They have traveled for a good six weeks. They avoided as much trouble as they could, but they still had run-ins with local gangs and not all of the gangs were made up of straight virus types either, for they had encounter some data types too. He got information on Boarmon, Candlemon, and Drimogemon. They mostly fled as soon as they could when confronted by these gangs.
He digs through his pack and takes out a handful of berries. He holds them out to Jinx and Jinx then cheerfully eats as them all. They were looking for a place to set up camp. He studies the surrounding forest for any signs of danger. After he has some of the berries, they continue on their way. They come to a clearing and he decides that it'll be a good camp set.
He then stashes his pack away and then leaves Jinx in the clearing alone. He was going to look for firewood. He finds some sticks and logs, then as he bends down to pick them up, he hears a yells coming from where he left Jinx.
He races back to the clearing and find a red fox-like Digimon in black leather. Jinx is under one of the Digimon's paw. He charges the fox Digimon, but the Digimon only dodges out of the way. He then checks to see if Jinx is alright, but the fox Digimon knocks him onto the ground. He then rolls to his right to get out of the way of this fox's attacks. He then kneels and then leaps at the red Digimon. But the fox catches his arm in his jaws and flings him into the closest tree. He is then knock out and he wakes to it being dark already.
(:-:)
He then had grabbed his pack and found this cave. He's been here since yesterday morning. He hasn't eaten anything or had anything to drink. He mostly just repeated the whole thing in him mind, blaming himself for not reacting fast enough or being strong enough.
He then looks and finds that brown Digimon was still here. He blinks a bit and decides to speak. "Why are you here?" He asks softly. The Digimon looks shocked for a moment, then answers, "You need help, and I want to help." He uncurls a bit and then sits up slowly. He fingers his Digivice and then says, "I don't need help." The Digimon's eyes look to where his fingering his Digivice. Then the Digimon looks him in the eye and says, "You either need help or know someone who does. Two fighters are better then one." He was stunned at this. He then sighs and uses his Digivice to scan the Digimon in front of him.
Kovumon
Rookie level Digimon
Vaccine type
Beast Kid. Attacks are Beast Fist and Desert Claw.
He finishes reading the information and then turns to stare at the Kovumon that's in front of him. "Great! Two rookies can storm the enemy camp and rescue the lone captive." He says sarcastically. It obvious that the sarcasms in his voice were lost on the other rookie. For he then answers, "Yea! I get them to chase me and you get your friend! Lets go and do it now, before they get bored!" The Kovumon grabs his arm and pulls him out of the cave.
Before he even knew what happened, he was watching as the brown rookie yells insults at the gang and then bolted when one of the Digimon came within four feet of him. He watches with his jaw dropped that the other's plan worked.
He then walks into the clearing and breaks open the big box. He backs up when other hands and paws appear at the opening. Then he watches as the hands and paws pull at the opening and soon Digimon were pouring out of the hole in the box. Then he finds himself getting pats on the back and many thanks you.
He soon the Digimon that he was searching for appears and on seeing him, yells cheerfully, "Chaud!" He just grins as the Calumon named Jinx floats over to him. He listens as Jinx tells him everything that happened from the time he was captured to just now. He then remembers that rookie and says, "We got to go. That guy needs our help."
(-------------------------------Lan-------------------------------------------)
He races away from the clearing with a good eighteen Digimon hot on his heels. As he race between trees and fallen logs, he had already thought ahead of what he wants to confront these Digimon. He was leading them towards the cliff that he had found before finding the red rookie in a cave.
He knew that something bad had happened, for he encountered some Digimon that had run into a slave gang around here, so it didn't take much to figure out that the Aroomon lost a friend to the slavers. He had to admit that he was shocked at seeing another device around that rookie's neck. It was a different color but it looked like his. He wonders if he'd see him again.
He hears the pursuing Digimon yell out plans as they race, soon he sees a fox Digimon and he simply uses Desert Claw on that Digimon's face. He leaps over a log and sees the cliff up ahead. He kicks it up a bit, so he makes it to the cliff before any of the other Digimon.
He makes it and he finally stops running. He then turns around and watches as the enemy Digimon approach. He could see the snickers and hear the jabs. He ignored them, for they weren't important. He calms down as the other Digimon begin to mill around by the edge of the forest.
Then one of the braver ones then charges him. He waits until the last moment, then moves out of the way of the Digimon's attack. He then uses one of his legs to trip the attacking Digimon up and then waits for the Digimon to get back up. He then backs away from that Digimon, then close to the edge of the cliff, he uses Beast Fist to send the Digimon flying off the right edge of the cliff. He then turns calmly at the other Digimon waiting.
They decided that attacking in numbers was the way to go, so they all charged at once. He was glad at this; it means that he didn't have to deal with one at a time. He then charges forward to meet them head on.
He dodges the most out right attacks and gets a few kicks and punches in. He then leaps over some of the Digimon's heads and again attacks from behind before they could counter attack. He manages to punch a good five others over the cliff's edge. His enemies were now on the cliff and he leaps to the edge of the cliff and sends a Desert Claw on the base of the rock cliff. The Digimon freeze as the cliff shakes. He grins a bit and again uses Desert Claw at the same spot. Then the Digimon begins to scrabble towards him, he uses Beast Fist at the spot and the rock breaks off. The rock and Digimon all fall into the ocean below.
He turns to find that red rookie and a white Digimon just staring at what he did. "So, I didn't get to introduce myself. I'm Lan." He says cheerfully. The little white Digimon then introduces them. "I'm Jinx and this is Chaud! That was really amazing!" He then says, "It's nothing, I had a good teacher. So, I'm headed to Union Gate. Where are you two headed?" Chaud then answers for the both of them. "Same place."
They just stare at each other, not really knowing just what to make of the other. Then he grins and asks, "You want to travel together?" Jinx and Chaud look at each other and Jinx says, "He's just as interesting as you are!" He didn't get it, but decided that was a good thing. "Fine." Was all Chaud would say on the matter. His grin just widens at this, he finally found the people he was seeking. He knows that they'll be able to do amazing things and he was willing to bet that they'll be great friends, too!
He then leads the way to where he last saw the makings of a road. Jinx just chats away, so he just listens to Jinx. Then he begins to tell them about his first encounter with some bad Digimon and about Alex. He could see that Chaud listened really closely to everything he told them.
(-------------------------------Chaud----------------------------------------)
He thought about what Lan had told them. He was happy to have someone with some idea on how to fight, given the fact that he didn't have much experience in that area. He also now knows about what to look for in the food department. He kinds of dreads that Jinx might like Lan better then him.
He then waits as Lan comes back with some roots and fish. He looks at Jinx and then asks, "So, what do you think of Lan?" Jinx looks thoughtful, and then answers, "He's a nice guy. But he's not you, though!" He feels much better and he decides to not get jealous of the time the two will spend together. He knows that he could learn a lot from Lan. He really hopes that things are going to get better.
(-------------------------------Chaud----------------------------------------)
I didn't really think much of the name Lan. Even now, I've only known two people by that name. One is a goof ball Net Saver and the one from my childhood was quite informed and thoughtful being. Even now I kind of miss that one. Lan the Kovumon was always a step or two ahead of his enemies. It's how I try to fight my battles as a net op. It works very well, for I have been a champion a few times in tournaments.
Even now, I really miss Jinx. He was my first real friend, in a way, Lan the goof reminds me of him. The way both of them seems to be really cheerful and like to sleep in. I still hope to meet with them again. I've never told anyone, not even Protoman about my adventures or about the Digital World.
I've found some really old files dating back to about 1990's, to when some scientists came up with some A.I.s in the forms of monsters. Even about how the they only got to launch the program once before they were forced to delete the whole project. I find it ironic that from that one launch, a whole new world that nobody knows exists. I shudder to think of the damage a champion or ultimate could cause if they ever make it to the real world. I don't even want to think about a mega level Digimon could do. I'm thirteen years old and I try my best keep an eye on what's happening with the Net and with Navis. I pray that a Navis or a scientist never finds a way to the Digital world. I might not be an Aroomon now, but I have a feeling that if I'm needed, that my Digivice will find me and I'll be able to transform into that Digimon again.
To Readers:
Now Lan and Chaud have met and are traveling together. Hope you like this so far. I also did some foreshadowing. Hope you like some of that history I did at the end to explain how the Digital world started. Thanks to all of you who like to read my story. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
To be continued …
