Episode #03

Road To ... Somewhere

Mel was walking through the forest with Pugimon under one arm, her Digivice in the other.

"So this is a Digivice?" she asked holding up the small device.

"Yep! That's what I said! A Digivice! It's super important!" said Pugimon from underneath Mel's arm. "Can you put me down? I'm getting kind'a hot."

"Oh yeah, sorry." said Mel, placing Pugimon on the ground. "I wonder what these buttons do ... ?" she mumbled under her breath. As she pushed the buttons, a screen with a map on it showed five colored dots on it. "Curious ... " she said quietly. She aligned a cross-hair on the green dot in a black area, and it zoomed in on it. She could see what looked like volcanoes. "Very curious ... " She zoomed in further and saw a boy's shoes and a yellow creature bouncing in front of him on the black turf. "But ... It can't be!"

======

"Hey, the Digivice is beeping." said Caleb un-clipping his from his belt. When he looked on the screen he nearly fell over. There was Mel looking back at him, gaping as she saw his face looking back. "Uh ... Mel?" he asked the Digivice, not fully expecting her to answer.

"Caleb?" she asked back. "Is that you? Can you really hear me?"

"Mel! It's really you, and you're alive!? Where are you?!" Caleb shouted, thrilled to be talking to his cousin again.

"I'm in a forest somewhere. Where are you?" asked Mel.

"Near a lot of volcanoes. It's really hot. How were you able to get this thing to work?" said Caleb.

"The Digivice has a map that shows where everyone is. Your Digivice is green, right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"The map shows a different colored dot for the color of everyone's Digivice. Mine is turquoise. I'm going to try to contact everyone else and agree on a meeting place, we have to get back together."

"All right, I'm going to keep walking. If you don't call back, I'll call you. Your turquoise, right?"

"Right. Talk to you later." And with that, she severed the connection.

"Wow Esmon, did you know it could do that?" Asked Caleb.

"Nope." said Esmon. "That was cool! Who was that?"

"My cousin Mel, I can't wait until you meet her!"

"What's a cousin? It must be a human thing." thought Esmon. "Sure! She seems nice enough."

======

"Wow, that was unbelievable! Thank the Digivice!" yelled Mel. "Oh, I have to contact everyone else."

"Who was that Mel?" asked Pugimon.

"My cousin Caleb. He's really smart. I'll bet he will know what to do!" said Mel.

"What's a cousin? It must be a human term." thought Pugimon.

======

"What's this? My Digivice is beeping." said Michael. "Mel?! I don't believe this! How did you ... ?"

"No time to chat bro, we all have to meet at the big mountain. It's due west of you. You can access the map function of your Digivice by pressing the farthest left arrow button. When you get there wait. Don't climb it or circle around it. Just wait OK? If you need to talk to me, access the map and zoom in on the turquoise dot. That's me."

"Yeah, I got ya sis. I'm blue ... I think." said Michael. "That's the color ... "

"I'm sorry, but I have to call everyone else, I'll talk to you later, By!" she said hurriedly, and closed the call.

"Oh well that was strange. And good." said Michael. "I'll call her back later."

======

"Oh DemiNomon, I can't find it any where! It must have gotten stuck somewhere in the reeds." said Lexxy looking at the great expanse of water weeds. "Maybe I'm really not your partner, maybe your partner is someone else." Lexxy wailed miserably.

She was covered in mud, and was wet all over. She sat down in the shallow water and hugged her legs into her chest and started to cry. DemiNomon wobbled over to the girl and tried to comfort her. Nearby a Digivice with yellow and white markings was beeping. A girl voice was saying "Hello? Hello! Is any one there? Hello?"

======

"Well I was able to contact everyone here." Mel said to Pugimon. "Except Lexxy. I hope she's OK. Maybe she never made it here in the first place. But she was with us when that lightning wave hit."

"That's a shame. I wonder who has that nice yellow Digivice." Said Pugimon while doing back-flips.

"Lets go and see!" said Pugimon and Mel simultaneously. "Oh, oops! What did you say? Ha ha ha ha ... "

"Ok, " said Mel after she and Pugimon had finally stopped laughing. "I have the turquoise Digivice, Michael's is blue, Rosie's is black, Mark's is orange, and Caleb's is green. Then there is the unknown yellow one. I still think it is Lexxy. I can't help but worry about her, and her Digimon if she met her's yet." She pondered for a moment and finally said, "I think you're right. I'll contact the others, we're going towards the yellow Digivice."

"All right! A real adventure!" said Pugimon, bouncing with glee.

"What, like this isn't" thought Mel as she ran after her friend.

======

"Hey Myokimon? Do you know where we're going?" asked Rosie to her partner.

"Er ... stupid human. Kurayamimon didn't tell me that these creatures were so simple of mind. She doesn't even know ... " thought Myokimon.

"Myokimon?"

"Into the forest, isn't it a bit obvious? And why don't you use the map in your Digivice that your friend told you to use?" snapped Myokimon at her partner.

"Oh." Said Rosie. It was obvious that Myokimon didn't like her much. "Sorry, I forgot."

"Duh ... When I see Kurayamimon again I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!" thought Myokimon.

As they entered the forest, it grew increasingly dark.

"Uh, Myokimon, are you sure we have to go through this forest to get to the mountain?" asked Rosie looking cautiously around. "I mean, I don't want us to get hurt by anything in the dark."

"Look, if that's what that friend of yours said, then this is where we go. Are you afraid of the dark?" she said grinning a little, as an impish light flashed across her eyes.

"No." Rosie said, closing her eyes tight and her voice rising to a high pitch like most people do when they're scared. "I'm afraid of what's in the dark."

======

"DemiNomon?" said Lexxy weakly. "You should try to find your partner before he or she gets lost or worried. I must have been transported here by mistake." her face was red and blotchy from crying too much.

"But Lexxy!" protested DemiNomon, "I can't leave you alone here ... alone! And besides, why would I be here and you here at the same time! It doesn't make any sense, unless there has been a horrible mistake. I'm not leaving you!" As an after thought she added, "Ever!"

Lexxy was astonished at this speech made by a creature no bigger than her head. "OK, if you really feel that way."

"Of course I do!" said DemiNomon gleefully. "Now let's go!" she said as she hopped/swam to shore.
