Summary: The Frontier Gang is back. The Digital World is in trouble, but when the gang go back, they find that someone else has told them to come. A new generation of Digidestines has arrived! (not the same summary as outside)

Chapter 2
Sabermon: The One You Can Rely On
"Where are we going and are we there yet?" Takuya asked as the gang walked through the forest.
"We're going to find our spirits and no, we are not there yet," Izumi replied, frustrated at Takuya for being so ignorant.
Tomoki instantly fell over from the heat. Takuya followed. Izumi just got even angrier. "Maybe we should take a break," Junpei suggested.
Takuya sat up from his lying down position. "Count on Junpei to know when to rest," he said and laughed.
The whole gang sat down as Junpei glared at Takuya. Izumi was less angry, but still sort of mad at them for stopping. She wanted her spirit back. Kazemon wasn't just her spirit, she was her friend.
Totally clueless to what was going on, they sat there and rested their legs. The thing was that a storm was approaching, a bad storm. The first one to see it was Kouichi. "Guys, look at that," Kouichi said, pointing to the storm cloud.
"It looks like it's headed straight for us," Kouji replied.
"We have to find shelter," Takuya said, standing up.
"Look, it's a town up ahead!" Tomoki shouted with glee. The gang ran ahead to the town. They ran into a short building with no windows, thinking it'd be safe from any kind of storm. Too bad they didn't think that this town could be Tin Town.
Alex, Lucas, & Stuart...
The screen on the wall flashed red. "A storm is approaching," Lucas said, turning the flashing red light off. "It doesn't look that big, so it must only be a thunder storm. Luckily, we have a back up power source that will boot up if the power goes out." He adjusted his glasses and just sighed.
Alex looked a bit worried about the whole thing. She didn't like any kind of storms. Stuart didn't mind the storm at all, because his only concern was getting his spirit.
Again, the red light flashed, but this time, it was for something different. "An intruder," Lucas said.
"A Digimon?" Alex asked.
"No," Lucas said, pulling the screen on the gang up. "It's those kids."
"Must've been afraid of the storm," Stuart replied. "But why come here?"
"This is a safe place for protection from storms, Stuart," Lucas replied. "That's why it has all these electronics."
"Oh," Stuart replied. "Should we kick them out or what?"
"No, this would be a great time to persuade them," Alex replied.
"Alex is right," Lucas replied. "This is a great opportunity to persuade them to join us to help find the spirits."
Stuart groaned. "Fine, but we're looking for mine first," he replied. Him and Alex walked out of the room, ready to meet the gang.
They walked toward the front hall and stopped in the doorway of the front room where the gang was standing. "Hello again," Alex said, making the gang jump in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Izumi asked.
"This is Tin Town, if you didn't know," Alex answered. "This is our base, sort of like our home, where we can locate the spirits."
"Why don't you just go out and find them?" Tomoki asked.
"That would be really stupid to do, because if the spirit wasn't actually yours, the evil could grab it for themselves," Stuart replied.
"Oh, yea, this is Stuart," Alex said. "We didn't find his spirit yet."
"What do you mean by the evil?" Kouji asked.
"The evil is what we call whoever or whatever the reason we came here for is," Alex replied. "It hasn't shown its face yet, but we know that it took the spirits of the Ten Legendary Warriors and we know that Ophanimon brought us here."
"Ophanimon? Where is she?" Izumi asked.
"We don't know," Stuart replied. "Our connection was lost somewhere near the Forest Terminal. The last thing Ophanimon told us was to find our spirits before going there to save her."
The gang hesitated for a moment. Then, Takuya said, "What do you want us to do?" He had the look of courage on his face.
Alex smiled. "Follow us," she said. "We'll take you to the control room."
Alex and Stuart walked down the hallway and back into the control room. The gang followed. When they entered, the screen was back to a map and there was a red light blinking on it. "Welcome to the control room," Lucas stated, turning his chair around. "I'm Lucas and my spirit is knowledge with the Digimon, Tundremon."
"I'm Takuya," Takuya said. "This is Izumi, Kouji, Kouichi, Tomoki, and Junpei." He pointed to each one in turn.
"It's nice to finally meet you all," Lucas stated. He turned to Stuart. "I've found the spirit of reliability. It's a possible choice for you, Stuart, and since the gang is all here, if it isn't yours, it will be one of theirs. Alex, you'll go too, for protection."
Alex nodded her head. "Where is it?" Alex asked.
"In the Dream Forest," Lucas replied. "You'll go tomorrow, when the sun is out."
Everyone said their 'okays' and Lucas went back to his work on finding other spirits. Alex showed the gang their rooms and then they all went to bed, thankful to have their own beds.
In the Morning...
Stuart woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside. 'Today is the day I get my spirit,' he thought, getting out of bed and smiling a smile as wide as his face. He went into the kitchen and saw that no one was up. It was probably really early though he knew that Alex always got up early. He walked into the control room to find Alex sitting there, fiddling with the controls.
"Morning," Stuart said, making Alex jump.
She turned the chair around and glared at him. "Don't do that!" Alex almost yelled. "I was just about to get some information about the towns that have been burning down recently."
"Oh," Stuart replied and started walking towards Alex. Alex turned her chair back around and continued typing places in on the radar system. She typed in Toy Town and it was all wreckage.
"Another one down compliments of the evil," Alex said as Stuart sat on the arm of her chair. "We really have to figure out who is behind all this."
"How are we going to do that without all our spirits?" Stuart asked.
"Like I'm supposed to know that," Alex replied. "Even with Tundremon and Metawomon, we won't have a chance." (a/n: Metawomon is Alex's Digimon Spirit...k?)
"That's why we're going out to look for my spirit," Stuart said proudly. Alex shifted her chair, making him stumble on the arm of it and almost fall off.
"Oops, my bad," Alex replied and laughed as he got off the arm of the chair and start to walk out of the room.
"I'm making breakfast," Stuart said and left the room.
Alex laughed and then sighed. She knew that having Stuart around as a dummy would be fun. He's not really the reliable type though. His spirit probably isn't reliability. He seems more like the type to not rely on.
Takuya...
Takuya had been used to getting up late since as it was Christmas vacation back in his world, but for some reason today he woke up early. Maybe he was just happy to be back in the Digital World. He got out of bed, hyper already. He never thought he'd be back here and now where was he? He was back in the Digital World, saving it for the second time.
He smiled as he walked out of the room that he had slept in and suddenly he heard running behind him. He turned around and Izumi crashed right into him. They both fell over, Izumi laughing her head off. "Sorry about that, Takuya," Izumi said, still laughing.
"That's okay, Izumi," Takuya replied and Izumi got off him. Takuya stood up and then helped Izumi up. He caught her in his arm. Izumi's aquamarine eyes stared straight into Takuya's brown ones. They stood there for a while, just staring at each other until they both realized what they were doing.
"AH!" Izumi and Takuya both yelled and sprung away from each other, both breathing hard and blushing.
"Um-sorry 'bout that," Takuya said as his blush deepened. He wasn't looking at Izumi, because he was too embarrassed by what he just did.
"That's o-ok," Izumi replied, her blush deepening as well. She was looking down at the now wondrous carpet.
"Well, we had better get to uh-breakfast before we miss it," Takuya stated, still not looking at Izumi.
"Right, let's go," Izumi replied and turned around to start towards the kitchen. Takuya followed close behind, but not too close as to make Izumi feel awkward again.
Kouji...
Kouji was already up by the time he heard Takuya and Izumi scream in the hallway. He wondered what that was all about, but shrugged it off as he went down to breakfast. Not wanting to interrupt anything that was going on between Izumi and Takuya in the west hall, he went through the east hall and down to the kitchen that way.
Going down the steps, he heard some voices speaking. "Okay, now why are you cooking today?" a voice asked. Kouji realized it as Alex's voice.
"Don't think you're getting any of the pancakes I made unless you loose the attitude," another voice said. It was Stuart's voice.
"I'm not hungry anyway," Alex replied. "I think I'll just go back to working."
"Okay, but don't come to me when you realize that starving yourself is bad," Stuart replied and Alex left the room, going out the way towards the control room and not towards Kouji.
Kouji went around the kitchen and towards the control room to see what was wrong with Alex. He stopped at the doorway, seeing Alex working at the controls. Suddenly, the whole room started flashing red. Kouji didn't know what was going on. Alex got up and ran towards the door. "Oh, hi Kouji, sorry, but I have to go help Lucas out with the Digimon," she said before running down the hall. Kouji stood stunned after her.
Takuya ran down the hall with Izumi right behind him, passing Kouji and waking him up from his stunned state. He ran after them. When the three of them got outside, everyone else was already out there.
Lucas and Alex were holding out D-Tectors that were glowing. Alex's was pink and red and Lucas's was light blue and black. They each started glowing. "EXECUTE!" they both yelled. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
Alex spirit evolved into the girl evolution from before. "Metawomon!" she yelled just as she transformed.
Lucas spirit evolved into a tall, light blue metaled, Digimon with huge metal dark blue ankles and feet and his arms had large dark blue gloves on. His face was dark blue metal with no eyes that you could see because of his metal mask, but his mouth you could and he had the sign of 'knowledge' on his forehead. "Tundremon!" he yelled when he had finished the transformation.
The Digimon they were fighting was a huge eagle type of bird. Its wings were large and pure white along with the rest of its body. It was circling the building way above their heads.
Metawomon flew up in front of its path while Tundremon jumped to the top of the building. The Digimon stopped and opened its mouth to call out, but Tundremon was too quick for it.
"Lightning Spear!" he shouted and clutched his fist so a thunder bolt would appear and he threw it at the bird-like Digimon.
It used its wings to block the thunderbolt.
"What Digimon is that?" Takuya asked.
"We don't know," Kouichi replied.
"Wait, Lucas's laptop!" Stuart yelled and ran inside to get it.
Metawomon and Tundremon were getting beaten bad. They couldn't get any hits on the Digimon. It got plenty of hits on them, though. "Glacier Blast!" the Digimon yelled at the top of its lungs and sprayed Metawomon and Tundremon with a white blast from its mouth. It made them hit the ground with thuds. They looked pretty bad, but they got up and tried again.
"Let's try this again!" Tundremon yelled at Metawomon who nodded.
"Heart Shower!" Metawomon yelled and Tundremon yelled, "Lightning Spear," at the same time. Their attacks combined, but the Digimon rose its wing and tried to block it.
It went right into its wing at full blast and sent the Digimon out of the air and onto the ground. Tundremon jumped in front of it and yelled, with D-Tector in hand, "Fractal code, digitize!" The Digimon's fractal code went into Lucas's D-Tector.
Stuart ran back with Lucas's laptop and yelled, "That's Wingaramon!"
The gang sweatdropped. "A little late, Stuart," Junpei said.
Stuart closed the laptop and looked angry and then noticed that the Digimon was gone and smiled.
Metawomon and Tundremon turned back into Alex and Lucas. The gang all looked at them with happy faces, but they didn't look pleased. Lucas turned to Alex. "You should go now, before anything else attacks us here," Lucas told her.
Alex nodded and ran back inside to fetch her backpack. Stuart walked up to Lucas and asked, "What's wrong with you two? You just defeated a bad Digimon and you guys aren't even the least bit happy."
Alex had run back and heard what he said. "It's not that," Alex sighed. "The Digimon," she said, pointing to where it was, "it's gone. It was a Digimon made by the evil. The evil knows we're here."
The gang just stared wide-eyed at Alex and she looked at the ground, almost like she was going to cry. Lucas headed back inside. Just before he entered, he told them, "Hurry back. We'll have to move and find the other spirits without the computer. There's no way we can stay here after that attack."
The rest of the gang nodded and set off while Lucas went back inside. "Why didn't he just come with us?" Junpei asked. "We might need more help."
"Just let him be," Stuart replied with his hands behind his head. "He's had a rough life, okay?"
"Jeez, sorry, man," Junpei replied.
"What happened to him?" Izumi asked Alex in a worried voice.
Alex shook her head. "He never told me," Alex answered. "He only told Stuart and neither of them will tell me anything about it."
"Change the subject and leave the guy to himself," Stuart snapped at them all.
Kouichi replied, "We just wanted to help."
"There's nothing any of us can do, so stop trying to help," Stuart replied.
"For once, Stuart actually said something bright," Alex said and looked at her surroundings. "Stuart, did we past the Old Oak yet?" They were in a forest of some kind.
Stuart looked around also. "No, I don't think so," he answered. "I think it's a bit farther along."
"What's the Old Oak?" Tomoki asked.
"It's this huge Oak Tree that divides the Dream Forest and the Apricot Forest," Alex answered. "Right now we're in the Apricot Forest. The trees here grow apricots."
"Apricots in the Digital World?" Kouji asked. "Now I've seen everything."
Stuart walked up to a tree and whacked it with a large stick. The branches shook and a few yellow heart-shaped fruits came from it. Kouji bent down and picked one up. "These are apricots in the Digital World?" he asked.
Alex took the apricot from him and took a bite. "They taste like it," Alex said and noticed that Kouji was staring at her. "What?" she asked defensively. "I didn't eat breakfast this morning!"
Junpei's stomach growled. "That reminds me, I didn't have anything to eat either," he said. The rest of the gang knew they were hungry too so Stuart hit the tree a few times and a bunch of apricots fell off. The gang took a break to eat them.
Takuya was leaning on a tree away from the group, thinking. Izumi noticed this and walked over to him. She sat beside him. "Why are you all the way over here?" she asked.
"Just thinking," Takuya replied. He took a bite of an apricot he was holding. "I never realized how much Agunimon meant to me until now."
Izumi stopped eating her apricot and sighed. "The Legendary Warriors weren't just our spirits, they were our friends, Takuya, and we'll save them, don't worry," Izumi replied and smiled at Takuya. Takuya blushed and looked away.
"It will be fun seeing who has what new spirit," Takuya said, trying to change the subject.
"I know, I wonder what I will be," Izumi asked questioningly. "Since Alex has 'love,' Lucas has 'knowledge,' and we think Stuart might have 'reliability,' the other ones would be more personalities like, right?"
"I think so," Takuya replied. "I think we all have something that is, well, us."
"I agree," Izumi said and they both smiled at each other.
Kouji...
Kouji was sitting under another nearby tree. He would've sat with Takuya, but Izumi had walked over and he didn't want to disturb anything that was happening between them. He was just silently eating his apricot until a voice interrupted his thoughts, "Did you know that there is a spirit of light?"
He looked up to see the smiling face of Alex. "I just thought you might like to know that we think that one is yours," Alex said.
"I would've guessed that," Kouji replied coldly.
Alex, not caring about Kouji's cold attitude, sat down beside him. "No one should have to eat alone," Alex said to Kouji.
"I like being alone," Kouji replied. "There aren't any interferences when you're by yourself."
"But being alone gets lonely," Alex answered. "I should know, I've been alone my whole life."
"What do you mean?" Kouji asked.
"I'm not the best person to know," Alex answered. "Most people don't like me because I do things independently and I don't ever ask for help even though I need it. I just don't want to ruin my pride. It's the only thing I have left."
"I understand what you mean," Kouji said and Alex looked at him. He was staring in front of him, eating his apricot. "I'm a loner."
Alex smiled and knew then that meeting the Legendary Warriors weren't all that bad. They were actually very friendly and not mean at all.
Junpei...
"These apricots are good!" Junpei exclaimed.
"Don't eat too much or you won't be able to walk," Stuart replied.
Junpei stood up. "Are you kidding me?" he asked. "How can food enable you to walk?"
Then, just as suddenly as Junpei sat up, he fell back down. Tomoki rushed over. "Are you okay?" he asked.
Stuart was sitting on a log, laughing his head off. Soon he fell backwards over the log, still laughing. "I'm fine, Tomoki," Junpei stated. "What happened?"
Stuart sat back up on the log, still laughing a little. "The-the apricots make you unable to w-walk for ten minutes if you e-eat too much," Stuart explained.
Junpei sighed. "Now you tell me," he said.
"He's not very reliable, is he?" Tomoki asked about Stuart.
"Why do Alex and Lucas think his spirit is reliability?" Kouichi asked, bringing back more apricots from the tree.
"They're both nuts, if you ask me," Junpei exclaimed.
"Expect the unexpected," Kouichi said.
"Yea, we are in the Digital World," Tomoki told them.
"I know that!" Junpei exclaimed. "I just don't think they should be assigning us spirits, that's all."
"They aren't assigning us spirits," Tomoki answered.
Stuart had just stopped laughing. "That was great," Stuart said. "Well, we probably all ate too much anyway."
"How long do we have to wait?" Junpei asked Stuart.
"About ten minutes at the least," Stuart replied.
Alex and Kouji had just walked over and sat down. Alex sat next to Stuart on the log while Kouji sat next to Junpei. Junpei glared at them. "Why can they walk?" Junpei asked.
Alex stared at him, confused. And then she realized it. She started laughing. Then Stuart said, "She gets it."
Alex suddenly stopped laughing. "Of course I do!" Alex said. "What did you do that for?"
"He was being a pig!" Stuart replied. He stood up, glaring at her.
Alex put on her puppy dog face and said, "Don't do that again. You know it's mean."
Stuart turned. "That's not going to work!" he said.
Alex smiled wickedly. She took out her D-Tector and pointed it at Junpei. It shot out a light of pink at him. Stuart stood amazed at it. Then he got mad again. "You're so evil," Stuart said to Alex.
"Why, thank you!" Alex replied and jumped up. "Well, we can go now."
"But it wasn't ten minutes yet," Tomoki replied.
Alex looked at him. "Stuart put a spell on Junpei's apricot, I took it off," Alex answered.
Takuya and Izumi had walked over and looked at them all confused. "Everyone ready to go?" Takuya asked.
The gang all nodded their heads. They continued on their journey out of the Apricot Forest and into the Dream Forest. Soon, they were at a large Oak tree.
"I'm guessing that this is the Old Oak," Takuya said, looking it up and down.
Stuart nodded his head. "You guessed right, my man," he replied.
"It will take all day to search this forest together," Kouji put in. "I think we should split up."
"Exactly what I was thinking," Alex agreed. "If anyone gets into trouble, yell for help and I'll be there in a flash." She paused. "Now, how will we choose who goes with who?"
"It's good that we have an even number," Junpei replied. "We'll just go in two's."
Izumi, knowing that they would have to split up, held a bunch of sticks in her hands so they all looked the same size. "We'll draw sticks," Izumi replied. "There's two of every length."
Alex's face brightened. "Great idea, Izumi," she said and picked a stick.
Everyone picked a stick from Izumi's hands and then Izumi took the last one. The groups were: Junpei & Kouichi, Tomoki & Izumi, Kouji & Stuart, and Takuya & Alex.
(a/n: I didn't want Izumi and Takuya to always be together!)
They each chose their way and set off, looking for the spirit of reliability.
Tomoki & Izumi...
"What exactly are we supposed to be looking for?" Izumi asked Tomoki. She was looking into a creepy cave.
"You know what a spirit looks like," Tomoki answered.
Izumi turned and looked sadly at him, remembering her spirits. "Yea, but," Izumi started, "our D-Tectors show us the way, don't they?"
Tomoki stopped looking around and turned towards Izumi. "You're right," he said. "We should be using them." He took out his D-Tector and Izumi did the same. They decided to continue walking until their D-Tectors told them something was near.
Nothing seemed to be happening while they walked and Izumi was getting frustrated. "Why won't you glow or blink or something?" she yelled and threw her D-Tector to the ground.
It glowed with a fierce yellow light that shot towards the center of Dream Forest. Izumi was amazed. "Let's go!" Tomoki shouted at the dazed Izumi and motioned her to follow him. He ran towards the light and Izumi picked up her D-Tector and followed.
Junpei & Kouichi...
"Man, I'm hungry," Junpei said, walking very slowly.
"We just ate," Kouichi replied with a laugh.
"I know, but I'm still hungry," Junpei answered. "I didn't have many apricots because of that stupid spell Stuart put on me."
Kouichi slowed down his walk so he was walking alongside Junpei. "When we find the spirit of reliability, you can have all the apricots you want back in the Apricot Forest," Kouichi replied.
Junpei smiled and started to walk faster. "Let's go! Onward to the spirit of reliability!" Junpei said, pointing forward and marching. Kouichi followed.
Kouji & Stuart...
Stuart was walking as fast as he could, so he could finally get his spirit. He had so much pride, if you took it away, he'd be nothing. He was holding his breath too, so his chest would seem larger. "Proud of your new spirit?" Kouji asked, walking beside Stuart.
"Wouldn't you be?" Stuart asked, still with as much pride as before the question was asked.
"I would, but," Kouji started, "you don't even have the spirit yet." He smirked.
Stuart let out his breath and slouched. "I guess you're right," Stuart replied. "How am I supposed to know if reliability is my spirit?"
"Are you reliable?" Kouji asked him.
Stuart scratched his head. "I don't really think so," Stuart answered.
Kouji rolled his eyes and the conversation ended there.
A few minutes later, Kouji D-Tector let off a strange yellow light. It faintly pointed towards the center of the Dream Forest. Stuart stared, stunned, at it. "That must be the spirit," Kouji said and ran after the light.
Stuart just stood there, looking after him, until he realized that he was gone. "Hey!" he yelled. "Wait for me!" Stuart followed him at a run also.
Junpei & Kouichi (again)...
Junpei kept marching, knowing that he would be the one to find the spirit of reliability. He didn't care if it wasn't his, he only wanted to eat more of those tasty apricots. Kouichi was just happy that Junpei was walking faster and that he was, well, happy!
Junpei stopped marching at a large field. Kouichi stopped as well. "Why is a field in a forest?" Junpei asked, confused.
"I made it, you idiot!" a voice said. It sounded as though it was ahead of them. They ran into the field. They were near the middle of it, but not quite there yet.
"Who or what are you?" Junpei asked, looking straight forward, just a little scared.
A Digimon came out of the forest in front of them. It looked like a huge flaming dog. Its flames were all over it's body. It had bloodshot eyes and gleaming white teeth. It was growling menacingly at them.
"I am Flaredramon and you have disturbed my territory!" Flaredramon yelled and growled once more. "As punishment, I will destroy you!"
Junpei and Kouichi screamed and just about lost hope for living their lives...
Alex & Takuya...
Alex had her D-Tector out and was pointing it every way she could, turning around once or twice to make it face that way. "What are you doing?" Takuya finally asked.
"Trying to make this thing light up," Alex replied. She shook it. Then she shook it harder. Finally she stopped shaking it and sighed. "It's just not working."
"Here, let me try," Takuya said and grabbed her D-Tector from her. He took it in one hand and whacked it against the other hand. It let off a semi-faint light, pointing towards the center of the Dream Forest.
Takuya gave Alex back her D-Tector and she nodded her head while saying, "Not bad."
"Thanks," Takuya replied. They both set off towards the center of the Dream Forest.
A few minutes later, they heard a scream. It was coming from the center of the Dream Forest. Alex sighed. "A moment of peace and quiet and then," she started, but didn't finish because she had gotten her D-Tector back out and was ready. "EXECUTE!" She shouted and a glowing pink light surrounded her. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
"Metawomon!" she yelled as she transformed.
Takuya yelled at her, "Go find the others! I'll catch up!" and he started running towards the center of the Dream Forest. Metawomon nodded and flew towards the voices.
Tomoki & Izumi...
They were running towards the center of the Dream Forest when they heard two screams coming from where they were running.
"We have to hurry!" Izumi shouted. They started running faster, until they slammed right into two other figures.
"Watch it!" Stuart yelled, rubbing his head.
"Stuart? Kouji?" Tomoki asked. He stood up and helped Izumi up. Stuart and Kouji both stood up too.
They were all standing next to a huge field and they could see Junpei and Kouichi standing in the middle of it. They were the ones who screamed. A Digimon that looked like a flaming dog was walking towards them.
"JUNPEI! KOUICHI! GET OUT OF THERE!" all four of them shouted at the two in the field.
"You will die!" Flaredramon shouted and opened its mouth to shoot a fireball at them but luckily, an arrow shot down right in front of Flaredramon. "What?"
"Next time, I won't miss!" Metawomon shouted, flying in between Junpei & Kouichi and Flaredramon so they would have time to get away.
Junpei and Kouichi ran towards the others and they all stayed by the forest. "Now, I'll give you one chance to leave in peace," Metawomon said.
Flaredramon laughed. "I will not surrender that easily," it said. "I have my orders here and you will not disturb my territory!"
He got ready to aim a fireball at her and shouted, "Fire Blast!"
A huge blast of fire erupted from Flaredramon's mouth and Metawomon barely dodged it. A bow appeared in front of her and she yelled, "Love's Arrow!" as she let go of the bow and a glowing pink arrow flew towards Flaredramon. He dodged it by jumping to one side and smirked at Metawomon.
The gang all gasped. "Come on, Metawomon!" Izumi shouted.
"You can do it!" Tomoki yelled with her.
"Beat that flaming dog!" Junpei shouted.
Suddenly, a voice was yelling from behind them. "Guys!"
They all turned around to see Takuya running towards them. The only problem was that he tripped only a foot away from them and made the whole group fall over like a chain reaction.
"Hey guys!" Takuya said as he sat up.
Izumi, that was closest to him, whacked him across the head. "What'd you do that for?" Takuya asked her.
"For knocking us over!" Izumi replied.
Meanwhile, the battle wasn't getting anywhere. They kept dodging attacks until Flaredramon let out a fire blast that was a direct hit at Metawomon in the stomach.
She fell to the ground and changed back into Alex, but wasn't conscious at all. Flaredramon laughed. "No one disturbs my territory!" he shouted and aimed one last blast at Alex.
Junpei was the only one of the gang who noticed, because everyone else was paying attention to the recently arrived Takuya. "Get up, Alex!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Suddenly, the bright yellow glow that had come out of Izumi's, Alex's, and Kouji's D-Tectors before, now came out of Junpei's D-Tector.
It pointed towards the ground right in the center of the field. The ground shook and then broke there and a glowing yellow spirit rose from the hole. It zoomed towards Junpei and went into his D-Tector. Flaredramon had not let out his attack yet, out of shock.
Junpei knew that this was his spirit. He yelled, "EXECUTE!" and then, "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Junpei yelled, "Sabermon!" when his transformation was complete.
Sabermon was a tall muscular Digimon with a tiger's coat over his head as a hat. He was covered in fur like a tiger's but had a head like a human and had clothes on. His clothes were blue with yellow trim. He had huge blue gloves and no shoes because he had tiger's feet. The tiger's coat over his head only covered his eyes so it made them a bright yellow.
"Molte bono!" Izumi shouted when he transformed.
"Wicked!" Tomoki yelled and rose his fist in the air.
"That was supposed to be my spirit," Stuart said, bummed that it wasn't his.
Sabermon stepped in between Alex and Flaredramon. Flaredramon grimaced. 'Master is not going to like this,' he thought.
"Fist of Fury!" Sabermon yelled and threw a punch at the air towards Flaredramon and a yellow fist came zooming at him. It was a direct hit. "Fractal code, digitize!" Sabermon yelled with his D-Tector in hand and Flaredramon's fractal code went into his D-Tector. There was no digi-egg, though.
The gang all ran over to Alex to see if she was okay and when Sabermon turned back into Junpei, he did too. "She's unconscious," Kouji said. "We'll have to carry her back to Tin Town."
"How?" Takuya asked.
The gang all looked confused and none of them wanted to volunteer to carry her (a/n: How rude!) so they decided to draw sticks again. The short one lost and had to carry Alex.
Kouji lost. He took Alex in his arms and was hoping that she wouldn't wake up until they had gotten back to Tin Town.
Tin Town...
The gang arrived in Tin Town just before sunset. Alex still hadn't woken up. Lucas ran outside to greet them. "Whose spirit was it?" he asked and then seeing Alex, he asked, "What happened?"
"Reliability was Junpei's spirit," Takuya said. Junpei stood proudly beside him. "And Alex got knocked unconscious in the fight against Flaredramon."
"Flaredramon?" Lucas asked, interested. They had all walked back inside and were sitting at the dining room table.
"Yes," Junpei answered. "He was this huge flaming dog that said it was at the field in the middle of Dream Forest on an order."
Lucas got wide-eyed. "I knew it," he said and stood up. He paced around the table, thinking. "Flaredramon must have been sent by the evil to guard the spirit."
"How did the evil know where the spirit was?" Izumi asked him.
"I don't know," Lucas answered, "but I do know that we have to move away from here before the evil sends another servant of his."
"Where will we go?" Tomoki asked.
"To the Forest Terminal," Lucas replied, "to save Ophanimon and get the rest of the spirits."
(A/n: R&R! I love you people! XD Please keep reading and criticizing. But also remember I wrote chapters 1-6 about a year ago...so those will be...pretty bad.)
