Greymon: King of the Monsters.

- - - Monday

I wake the next morning and realize it wasn't a dream.

I'd curled up around my broken nest to sleep off my hallucination. It's not everyday you magically digivolve for no reason. But it wasn't a hallucination. I'm awake now, and let me tell you, I'm still a big lumbering dragon. I'm still Greymon.

Granted, this isn't the first time I've digivolved. But this is the first time I've done so on my own. With out assistance from Tai. Who knows the implications of this instantaneous evolution? I mean think about it! This could be a sign of new maturity in me. This could be a sign of me growing up. Dude, this is so awesome!

My first reaction is to test myself out. Get a feel for my new strengths and abilities. I rise from my sleep, stretch a little and test out my new arsenal.

Nova Blast!

The beam goes wide, flying quickly and carving a hole in the side of a nearby mountain. A gaping hole I could probably walk through. This is so cool!

I decide to test that theory. I break off into a run, crossing country at something like twenty miles an hour. I could never run this fast as an Agumon. I could barely keep up with Tai as it was, and that was only when something was chasing us.

Let something try and chase me now. I dare it.

I'm not even breathing heavy when I get to the large, gaping hole in question. It's big, but not quite as tall as me. I decide move in a little, to see what can be done. Lucky me however. My new horn and antlers are so large that they get stuck in some rocks. Annoyed, I thrust out, and the hole instantly is wide enough to fit my whole frame.

Yep. Greater power. Greater endurance. Greater strength. I am a Greymon now.

By the time I finish testing myself out it's almost night fall. I've been a champion for nearly twenty four hours. This is major. It can't be a fluke. It just can't! I'm really a Greymon. The first of the original File Seven to digivolve without the help of a human partner!Tai's going to be so proud!

So why do I feel so nervous?

I take a moment in my gleeful exploration of my Champion status to ponder some things. Why am I a Greymon? What did I do differently? I was just fixing up my nest when I suddenly grew up. Nothing here seems to make sense.

Most Digimon feel a tingling sensation when they digivolve naturally. A gut feeling. Almost like you want to puke and/or pass gas at the same time. I can only recall this happening to me once, when I was a Botomon, getting ready to become a Koromon. Tai said I'd done it before as well, but I don't remember much of my life before Gennai and the Hypno's got hold to my egg.

Maybe I'm finally natural.

That's it. Maybe I'm finally a natural. Maybe I'm going to be able to join a pride without the fear of being singled out as a weakling. I close my eyes and concentrate. I still have a connection with Tai, that hasn't changed. I'm still his partner. But now I'm a natural Digimon. I'm no longer linked to The Sovereigns.

For now, building a new nest will do. This hole in the wall is just the kind of place a Greymon like me can crash after a long day of patrolling.

A Greymon like me. I'm not going to get tired of this.

Afterwards, I'll probably just sleep some more. I'll head in to Windy City in the morning to pick ups some supplies and… well… show off. I'll avoid the Phones and TV's for now. I don't want to tell Tai just yet. It'll be a surprise.

Boy, I can't wait.

Authors Note: So Agumon really digivolved to Greymon. Without Tai's help. But what does this mean? Maybe He's right. Maybe he is no longer linked to the fate of the Digital and Physical worlds. Well, if I know our orange friend, He's going to want some answers soon. Expect things to get a little more complicated on TUESDAY.
