Greymon: King of the Monsters.

- - - Thursday

Biyomon and I head to the palace. Fire in our eyes. A double trouble team of Digidestined we are! Except I'm the champion. I'm probably going to see the bulk of the action and danger, while Biyomon coaches from the sidelines. Ah well, not everyone can be a Greymon.

A random beam of light hits us from nowhere.

We look around, and we're back in the Koromon village. Well that was random. And pointless. Our entire trek was meaningless. The Koromon gather around again, and explain that this is what's been happening. Beams of light emanate from a machine in the Gazimon strip, and transport Digimon everywhere. Obviously they are still tweaking it. Why would Eteapemon need a portal maker anyway.

Unless…

He's going to the real world himself. Why didn't I see it before? "I'm going to need somebody to give me a short cut!"

No one answers for a long time. Finally the little one raises an ear. "I'll lead you there."

I blink. Is she for real?

---

I'll admit it. The little one's directions are second to none. She gets us to the palace in record time, and even teaches us how to dodge the random (and I do mean random) portal arms that reach down to us ever so often. Me and Biyomon over look a dried ridge over the palace. The little one rolls her short self beside my bird… my friend…

Stupid Biyomon. Stupid innuendo.

Below us, the Gazimon listen to a meeting. Behind a podium stands what appears to be Etemon in an overcoat. Eteapemon I presume? Something's wrong with him though. He's really stiff. He's giving the usual bad guy speech, but his Elvis accent is a little… Off. After a while I ignore him.

There is a figure in the midst of those Gazimon. He looks like a human in a lab coat. If we were a few feet closer, my vision would pick him up easily, but as we don't want to risk our detection just yet, The figures in a weird mask. He leads a beaten Monochromon into the machine, and the two of them vanish.

Biyomon turns to me and lays out the plan. Gabumon is laying a distraction for us in the valley tonight. We sneak in at midnight and begin the assault. I'm going to lay waste to their palace until we get to the portal maker. We take out the machine and the portals will be taken care of. So that's the plan.

"And what about me?"

I grumble. "You stay here Short Rump."

She frowns. "These crazies have been terrorizing my village for months! I want pay back."

"Listen…"

"You can't stop me!"

There is a fire in her eyes. Hidden deep within those scorn full spheres is a will I haven't ever seen before. And tears. Those I see plainly. I look to Biyomon.

" As long as she doesn't get in the way".

The little one lets up a little, and I shrug. It's almost time.

---

I'm amazed at just how stealthy I can be.

It's almost midnight, and yet I haven't made a sound yet. Biyomon leads the way on foot. No use wakeing the guards with her flapping. The little Koromon hasn't made a noise either. Good girl. It's about time you shut up. Still, I get that weird feeling in my stomach again. It's quiet. Almost to quiet.

Electric Stun Blast!

Biyomon is hit hard in the back.

Koromon and I move fast. I scoop Biyomon up in my arms and dash down the corridor, Short Rump laying 'cover fire'. Her bubble blow won't do anything, but it's a distraction. I burst into the palace with the strength of fifty oxes.

And suddenly, I'm face to face with my nemesis. Eteapemon is simply looking at me. I'm ready to lay into him with a ball of fire, but I catch my self. Something is wrong here. I take a closer look.

Sweet Zhuqaiomon…

He's stuffed from head to toe! It's a freaking scarecrow.

Eteapemon isn't real!

We've got to get out of here and shut down that machine. Now! I try to get the little Koromon to move, but she won't budge. Biyomon's coming to, but if she doesn't hurry, I might be overwhelmed. The Gazimon are getting closer by the second. Out of the corner of my eye I catch something strange.

'Short Rump' looks like she's going to fart.

Authors Note: Action, action, action. The meat and potatoes are in folks. Eteapemon is a fraud. But why would anyone want to recreate Etemon. And who was the weird masked human in the lab coat? (Where my V-Tamer fans at? You guys know this one!) Why would I end the chapter with a reference to flatulence?  Have you guys not been paying attention? Greymon's first real test is about to go on FRIDAY! After that, only a day left and the week is over! Ciao!
