Digimon Season 2.5: "Digimon Adventure 03"
Episode 3: "Tentomon's Turn!"
.:Odaiba Elementary Soccer field, Odaiba:.
The Odaiba Elementary soccer team were almost half way through their Sunday soccer practice. They were running their laps around the school's soccer field as their coach shouted encouraging words to them.
In the middle of the team was Dawn. She was keeping a steady pace behind the boy in front with her best friend Dan just as close behind her.
But as she began her seventh lap around the field, her mind was somewhere else. She was thinking about the Digital World again. Not the same as the daydreams she used to have, but the events from yesterday kept repeating in her mind.
"If Agumon hadn't jumped in and saved me I'd be dead right now…." She thought to herself. That thought had replayed in her mind so many times she had lost count.
"Hey Dawn!" Dan's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "C'mon you're holding us up!"
Dawn looked ahead and realised there was quite a gap between her and the boy in front. She quickened her pace and caught up. Letting out a sigh she glanced up at the sky. What had happened to her?
This time a few days ago she was always thinking about the Digital World and got excited whenever she thought about what it would be like to adventure there.
But now, after yesterday, none of those exciting thoughts had crossed her mind. It's like something had hit her hard. She shook her head. "What the heck is wrong with me? I'm stronger than this… stupid Tyrannomon!"
She wasn't scared of Tyrannomon or the Digital World. She just had this feeling inside her that she couldn't explain. But it defiantly wasn't fear. Whatever the feeling was it was buggin' the hell out of her.
"Yah!" Dawn suddenly got her foot caught in a tuff of grass and fell flat on her stomach. This was another reason this feeling was bugging her. It was affecting her soccer.
"Whoa!" Dan also crashed to the ground, on top of Dawn. She had fallen suddenly and the goggle boy didn't have time to react and stop or jump out of the way. "What is wrong with you today?" he asked as he climbed off his best friend. He helped her up. "You've been clumsy all morning. Not to mention you missed a practice penalty kick before."
Dawn sighed again as the rest of the team past them. He was right. She always scored penalties. But this morning she had missed and kicked it clear over the top of the net. "I dunno." She finally spoke, obviously lying.
At that point the Coach had jogged over to where the two friends were stood. "What's going on this morning Kamiya?" he asked. He didn't sound angry, just more concerned.
"I'm sorry Coach, it's just-" she began to explain.
"You missed your penalty kick, lost control of the ball and not to mention tripped over countless times. Your mind is obviously somewhere else other than soccer." The man commented shaking his head.
Dawn lowered her head. "You're right." She mumbled.
"Perhaps it would be best if you went home and come back for Wednesday's practice. By then you might be back to yourself." The coach suggested.
Dawn's head jolted up. "No Coach, I promise I'll concentrate from now on." She begged.
But the coach gave her a look that clearly said she wasn't going to win the argument. Admitting defeat, the young Kamiya girl groaned and slowly made her way to the bleachers where her sports bag lay.
She picked it up and didn't even bother swinging it over her shoulder. She let it drag along the ground as she exited the school grounds and began her fifteen minute walk home.
.:Kamiya Apartment, Odaiba:.
Dawn opened the front door to the apartment and lazily walked in. Still in her soccer kit, obviously not in the mood to get changed back at the school, she dumped her sports bag by the coat rack and kicked off her soccer cleats.
Walking further into the apartment she saw her father sat on the sofa with his feet propped up on the coffee table and the television remote in his hand. He was watching the soccer. She guessed her mother wasn't home from work yet.
Tai looked up from the television after hearing someone walk in. "Hey kiddo. You're back early."
Dawn hesitated a little before answering. "Well… I… Uhh… wasn't feeling well so Coach sent me home early." she lied a little. Looking around she asked; "Where's Agumon?"
"He's still asleep in your room." Tai replied, he then added as she was heading into the kitchen; "Must be exhausted after that battle yesterday."
Dawn paused and groaned. She thought she could keep that a secret. As much as she wanted to tell her parents she had battled a Digimon, it didn't happen the way she had hoped her first battle would. "Who told you?"
Tai stood up from the sofa and turned the volume down on the television. "Izzy told me." He sounded a little serious.
Dawn sighed and turned to face her father. "I know I'm probably gonna get grounded for this. But I didn't intend to go into the Digital World… well I kinda did when I heard the gate was open but it was an accident when I got sent there. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." She explained.
"I'm not mad. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me when you came home yesterday." Tai replied. "I thought you would have been dying to tell us about it."
Dawn just stared down at the floor shuffling her feet. Obviously her father didn't know the whole story about what happened. "Well…" she began looking up at Tai with a sheepish smile. "It didn't actually go the way I thought it would."
Tai sighed "What happened?"
"Hey it wasn't my fault… well not all of it." She protested. "You see the Tyrannomon attacked me and Agumon because he thought we had hurt his friends, also mouthing off to him didn't help, but it was this girl. The same girl that was on top of Zepp Tokyo the other night and-"
"Yeah Izzy told me about how you knew about that too." Tai cut in. "Why did you follow me and Agumon when I specifically told you to stay home?"
Dawn sighed. "I'm sorry Dad." she murmured. "But I don't understand why you told me to stay. I'm a DigiDestined now, just like you and Mom." She shot back.
"I know you are. But the Digital World is a dangerous place. You've got to understand that." Tai explained. "Exactly why I didn't want you coming with me the other night or wandering off into the Digital World by yourself. I wanted to explain everything to you first so you knew how dangerous it would be and think more clearly before acting."
Dawn sighed. Her father was getting overprotective again.
"And it plainly shows you weren't ready due to the trouble you got yourself in with Tyrannomon." Tai continued.
"I said I was sorry." Dawn replied with a murmur as she crossed her arms.
"Sorry wouldn't make it better if you got killed would it?" Her father stated.
Dawn frowned and shook her head. "No." she knew her dad was right. Aggravating Tyrannomon more was probably the worst possible thing she could have done.
"Hey c'mon cheer up." Tai said noticing she looked a little down. He knelt down to her height. "Like I said I'm not mad at you. You're so much like me I can get worried about you. That's why I wanted to explain everything to you properly. So you wouldn't make the same mistakes I did." He said softly. "Anyway, you're not gonna let it bother you are ya?" he added flashing a grin.
His daughter's frown disappeared and was replaced by the start of a smile. "No." she replied feeling a little better.
"That's my girl." Tai smiled ruffling his daughter's hair. "Now go get changed out of your soccer clothes, I promised Izzy I'd take you to his lab so you can explain what happened when Agumon digivolved yesterday."
Dawn gave her father a small smile. "Okay."
.:Izzy's research lab, Odaiba:.
"Hmm interesting." Izzy murmured as he studied the computer screen in front of him.
After Dawn had explained what had happened the previous day, he had taken her Digivice and downloaded the information on to his computer. There he could study the information and activity on her Digivice from the past 72 hours.
"What you found Iz'?" Tai asked peering over the screen from beside his friend.
Izzy paused with his eyes locked on the screen. "According to these readings, there was a significant boost in Agumon's energy level after he absorbed the power from the golden ring." He began to explain. "Before that his energy was virtually on a low, obviously from the battle with Tyrannomon. Anyway something triggered that golden ring and from what I gathered from these figures it was due to courage."
"Huh?" Tai's Agumon commented a little confused. "But Dawn put herself in danger and didn't think about the consequences, how's that true courage?"
"Not Dawn, Agumon's courage." Jim spoke up from the other end of the room. "Dawn does have the same trait as you Tai, but if Agumon uses that trait too it can be just as powerful, maybe even more if used together in unison."
"Huh? Me?" the smaller Agumon of the two asked a little surprised.
Izzy nodded. "As you can see here." He paused as he pointed at some figures on the screen. "These numbers show Agumon's courage is higher than his actual energy level during the battle. But here…" he pointed his finger at another set of numbers. "This shows his courage level shoots right up."
"So that was when Dawn was about to be killed by Tyrannomon?" Jonathon asked, highly intrigued by the whole situation as he stood just behind his father.
Izzy nodded at his son. "Shortly after his courage increased, his power matched that in less than a second. That's the fastest power enhance I've ever seen. And it's all down to the Digital Ring."
Haruhiko stood up with some papers in his hands. "After Jonathon mentioned the ring to Izzy last night he called me and I did a little research. The Digital Rings are an ancient prophecy that claims 'Reaching the element would release the golden force'. They're call the 'Digital' Ring because they can only be stored in a Digivice and once released from there must be consumed by the Digimon. After the Digimon's data has absorbed the ring, it'll release its golden power."
Tai had a blank look on his face. He was clearly confused by how they were explaining it. "Did you understand that Dawn?" he asked. He got no answer.
Dawn was sat at one of the desks wearing her white headphones. Music could be heard playing from them and she had her eyes closed seemingly to be in a world of her own.
"Dawn? Are you listening?" her father questioned. Getting no response again he took that as a no. "Dawn!"
Dawn jumped and her brown eyes snapped open. She looked up at her father with a sheepish smile. "Yeah?" she asked innocently.
"Did you listen to a word the others just said?" Tai asked giving her a firm look.
His daughter just sat there with a cheeky grin on her face. "Heh… no." she admitted. She held up her Ipod X. "My favourite song was on."
Izzy just smiled and turned to face the girl behind him. "No problem. I might've explained it a little too complicated the first time. You're father's confused." He winked at her. "Come here and I'll explain it in a simpler way for you."
"Okay." Dawn stood up, still listening to her favourite song. She began to do a little dance as she walked across the room to where her father, Izzy and Jonathon were stood around one of the main computers.
But Dawn being the klutz she was, tripped over one of her untied shoelaces and fell right into the arms of Jonathon was reached out and caught her before she hit the hard floor face first.
Haruhiko chuckled and commented; "Well you've defiantly inherited your father's dancing skills." This earned a glare from his son-in-law.
Dawn huffed a little irritated. She shrugged herself out of Jonathon's grasp. Heading over to the computer she stood in front of her father. "So what's up with that ring in my Digivice?" she asked.
"It's called a Digital Ring." Izzy explained. He made sure he explained it slowly and simpler than before. He knew how intellectual talk could confuse both Kamiyas easily. "It's a way for Agumon to digivolve to the champion level."
Dawn seemed to understand. It was just like her parents' crests and the Digi Eggs the other adults had owned all those years ago. "So how do I get Agumon to digivolve?"
"Like the Digi Eggs, it needs a specific phrase to activate them." Izzy replied. "To activate it you must say 'Digital Ring Release'."
Dawn grinned. "Awesome. So by saying that I can make Agumon digivolve anytime I want?"
"It's not that easy kiddo." Her father replied. "Don't forget a Digimon needs to have enough energy to digivolve as well. If his energy is too low the ring won't work."
"Exactly." Her Agumon piped up. "Digimon can't run on empty stomachs."
Jonathon smiled before he turned to the desk behind him and began to gather his research books and papers. "Sorry I can't stay longer. But I have homework to do." He spoke as he placed the books and papers in his bag. He wanted to stay but he knew he had to go home and finish the extra homework he had asked his math teacher for.
Dawn snorted. "You've always got your nose stuck in a dumb book."
"Studying is a key thing in your childhood; it will benefit you later on in life." Jonathon simply replied before he left the lab leaving the Kamiya girl with her arms crossed, unimpressed.
.:Izumi residence, Odaiba:.
A few hours later Jonathon was situated at his desk at the far corner of his room. His head was buried in his math book. This was one of the ways he passed the time when he wasn't in school. He loved doing homework and solving math problems.
He did get laughed at for this trait, even by his friends occasionally. Sometimes it bothered him and other times it didn't.
Jonathon sighed and glanced around his room. It was just a typically normal room. Not a typical kid's room though. There weren't any toys and such scattered on the floor. No children's board games, except for the small chess board on the bedside table.
He didn't contain much furniture. All he owned was a bed, the side table, a desk, a wardrobe and his computer desk. His small flat screen television was hung up on the wall just at the foot of his bed. Jonathon didn't own any games consoles, as he wasn't into that sort of thing. He mostly spent his time on his computer or laptop, just like his father.
The wiz kid then closed his math book and pushed it to one side of his desk. Reaching down into his bag he pulled out a blue folder. On the front of the folder was the words 'Digimon Research'. This was all the stuff Jonathon had researched alone and with his father.
Opening it up he began to scan the contents. It was pages and pages of writing, charts, and graphs and with the odd picture of Tentomon or his friends' Digimon. The young boy sighed as he reached the end of his folder.
The one thing his research lacked was photos. Photos of the Digital World. His father had offered to give him old pictures from when he had been to the Digital World, but it wasn't the same. Jonathon wanted to take the photos himself. And that's when it struck him.
He could go to the Digital World now. The portals were now open. Gennai had reopened them yesterday with no explanation.
Jonathon slowly turned his head to the right and looked at his computer. "I'll only be gone a couple of hours. Dad said he won't be back until dinner time and Mom doesn't finish work till 4:30…"
At this point, his Tentomon walked into his bedroom. Spotting his human partner staring at the computer he knew what the young boy was thinking. "You want to go to the Digital World, don't you?"
The sound of Tentomon's voice snapped Jonathon out of his thoughts. He sighed. "I guess I'm acting a little like Dawn." He commented with a slight chuckle. "Tempted by the thought of the Digital World now accessible." Glancing at his research book he then said; "But I really want more photos for my research. Real, up to date photos. Not ones my father took when he was my age."
"Then what's stopping you? You're a DigiDestined. You're gonna have to step foot in that world soon or later, it's your job to protect it." The insect Digimon replied.
Jonathon hesitated before replying. "I know. But look what happened to Dawn when she wandered off to the Digital World? I have to be aware that if I go without anyone knowing and I get into trouble, it could have disastrous consequences."
Tentomon sighed. "And what's this?" he asked referring to himself. "Your own Digimon partner. Sworn to protect you from whatever threatens your life." He added in a slight sarcastic tone.
Jonathon cracked a small smile. "Forgive me Tentomon. I wasn't thinking."
"Well that's a first. So are we going or not?" the rookie asked, sounding a little impatient.
The boy's smile grew more. "Of course. Let me grab my digital camera and laptop and we're all set."
Jonathon stood up from his chair and walked over to his computer desk. There, beside the monitor lay his digital camera. Grabbing his navy blue backpack from the floor he gathered his belongings he wished to take. First his purple and white laptop was placed in the bag before his silver camera.
Once his essentials were packed, he placed his backpack over his shoulders. His computer was already one so the young boy typed away to load the portal onto the screen.
.:Thunder Mountain, Digital World:.
Sitting upon one of the rocks in the middle of the wasteland was the blonde haired girl. She held her digivice in her right hand and could not take her eyes off it.
Looking at the dull grey device in her hand, one question kept repeating in her mind. How did she get into this mess?
She could run now if she wanted to. But she knew she wouldn't get far. Even thought she was quite a way from her master's castle, she knew she was being watched every second she sat there.
Besides, even by some slight chance she got far enough she couldn't escape to anywhere that would be safe. When her master had created her digivice he had made it so it would not allow her to travel to and from the Digital World and Earth. He was the only one who had the power to send her there.
Her mind then cast back to the events of the previous day. The moment when she came almost face to face with her. Her friend and somewhat rival.
"We should have destroyed her when we had the chance." A voice growled from behind her.
The young girl jumped in fright and whirled around to see Garurumon X stood behind the rock. He had managed to creep up on her. And he had this surprising ability to know what she was thinking most of the time.
"I can't do that. She's my friend." The girl muttered, turning her attention back to the digivice in her hand.
"So you think." Garurumon X scoffed. "Don't you realise if they find out our identity they will ruin our master's plans!"
The girl huffed and jumped down off the rock. "I don't care the slightest bit about his stupid plans. I've acted out his own dirty work for long enough!"
Garurumon X's eyes narrowed in anger. "Are you saying you want to go home?! Back to that pathetic life you lived before?!" he snapped.
The pre-teen clenched her fists. This wasn't the Digimon she knew when she first received her partner. But she knew it was the virus talking. And to get out of this situation she knew she had to play along. "No… of course not." She muttered.
.:Infinity Mountain, Digital World:.
Jonathon smiled as he gazed around the beautiful surroundings. He and Tentomon were at the foot of Infinity Mountain, the highest mountain on File Island.
All around them were unusual but stunning plants and trees that looked almost tropical. To the side of the pair was a small river with a waterfall running into it from the mountain above. The sound of the water hitting the river below was such a relaxing sound Jonathon just closed his eyes and listen to the sounds around him.
The slight breeze in the air rustled the leaves in the trees and faint singing from the birds could be heard not far away. This place was so peaceful you could just forget all your worries in an instant. It was the complete opposite of Fossil Canyon where they last were.
Jonathon opened his eyes. Smiling he looked around once more. "This place is amazing. Such a different setting to yesterday. I don't know where to begin." He commented.
"Well." Tentomon began. "Primary Village is not far from here. Why not start from the very beginning?"
"Great idea!" Jonathon grinned. "I've got so many questions about how Digimon begin their lives. I hope Elecmon can answer them all."
The two friends set off along the small path that would lead them to Primary Village. It wouldn't take them long. Only a small trek through a group of trees, which surrounded the village.
Upon stepping out of the shadows from the trees, Jonathon got his first look at the village where all Digimon who died were reborn and started their lives once more.
It was a very colourful place, composed of nursery toys such as soft building blocks that came in a variety of different colours.
There was no sign of Elecmon anywhere. But there was a small group of four baby Digimon bouncing on the elastic ground. They were giggling away as each one tried to jump higher than the other.
Jonathon smiled as he and Tentomon ventured forward to the babies. The little Digimon didn't seem to notice the two new arrivals as they continued bouncing.
Getting out his purple digivice, Jonathon pressed the top button and the digivice scanned their data. On the screen appeared images of Botamon, Leafmon, Nyokimon and Pabumon.
"Why not get a picture?" Tentomon asked. "Be sure not to scare them though."
Jonathon nodded. "This'll be great for my scrap book." He got out his digital camera and focused it on the babies. He pressed the button and a quick flash lit up the place for a brief millisecond.
The baby Digimon didn't seem to be frightened by the flash but they did notice it. They stopped bouncing and just stared up at the two strangers looking down on them with their big eyes.
"Hey little guys." Jonathon smiled reaching out his hand, about to pat one on the head.
"Hey leave them alone!" a voice bellowed from behind them.
Jonathon and Tentomon jumped a little from shock and turned around to see Elecmon had arrived back carrying a large basket of food on his back.
Upon seeing who it was, Elecmon lost his angry look and smiled warmly. "Oh hey Jonathon. I didn't know you were coming here." He greeted as he walked up to them.
"Huh? You know me?" Jonathon asked a little confused.
The baby Digimon noticed the basket of food and made a 'Yay' sound before bouncing past the young boy towards Elecmon.
Elecmon carefully placed the basket on the ground and began to hand out small pieces of food to the babies. "Of course. You're father told me so much about you when we were waiting for your Digimon to hatch." He explained. "I've never seen you before but you and you're father are the only DigiDestined to have a partner Tentomon."
The baby Digimon immediately bit into the pieces of fruit, grinning with satisfaction.
Jonathon smiled and took another picture of the babies munching on their lunch. "They're very hungry."
Elecmon smiled as he handed an apple to Botamon. "They're always hungry. They need plenty of food, especially to digivolve. As soon as they digivolve into their in-training level they can leave for their villages."
"You mean the Koromon, Yokomon villages etc?" Jonathon asked.
Elecmon replied with a nod. "There they can look after one another. They can't stay here forever. This place is just for the baby Digimon."
Jonathon had now made himself comfortable on one of the small building blocks. His laptop was out and his fingers were busy typing up notes. "How is a Digimon reborn? What happens to their data?"
Elecmon chuckled. "You're just like your father you know? He had many questions too." He commented before answering the boy's question. "When a Digimon dies, their data is sent to a time-space limbo. There it is reformatted back into a Digi Egg before dropping down from the sky into the village where it will stay for a few days before hatching."
"Fascinating…." Jonathon whispered under his breath. "So up there, in the sky, is some sort of programme that reconfigures Digimon's data?"
Elecmon nodded. The rookie opened his mouth to continue his explanation but a shriek from a baby Digimon filled the air.
Elecmon, Jonathon and Tentomon turned their heads to see a little Leafmon bouncing as fast as he could. Fear could be clearly seen in the small Digimon's eyes.
"Oh no I sense trouble!" Tentomon exclaimed.
Elecmon looked ahead to where Leafmon had fled from. There he could make out a silhouette of a large figure. He was bent over one of the cradles and had his back to the guardian of the village so it was hard to see just what he was up to.
"Get away from there!" Elecmon roared with anger. Whoever this figure was he was defiantly not good. The red rookie sprung on his feet and sprinted towards the hooded being.
The mysterious figure continued with his business as if he had not heard Elecmon's order.
"I said get away from there!" Elecmon repeated, his voice growing louder with hate. "Super Thunder Strike!" An electrical surge was formed above his head and he fired it towards the intruder.
The being didn't seem to notice the attack heading right for him at first. But just as it was about to strike, he stood up straight. Turning around he held out his right hand and the attack just stopped in midair, inches away from the palm of his hand.
Elecmon, Jonathon and Tentomon watched in amazement as the attack fizzled out completely. Now the figure was facing them they got a good look at who he was.
But his identity was covered by the long black cloak he wore. It was the same individual from Thunder Mountain who owned the castle. He chuckled. In his other hand were syringes. One was on the ground by his feet, empty.
He then held out his right hand again and a black aura surrounded Elecmon's body. The rookie looked baffled at what was happened. The dark figure then raised his hand up. And as he did that, Elecmon rose from the ground too.
"What's happening!?" Jonathon exclaimed. "Who is he?"
Elecmon had no control over his body and was thrown past the young boy, crashing into a pile of large toy blocks. The injured keeper of the village looked up to see his attacker fleeing the village. "H-he's getting away!" he managed to gasp out.
"Tentomon stop him!" Jonathon commanded as he ran as fast as he could after the being.
The enemy chuckled once more and formed a large ball that glowed darkly in the palm of his hand. He threw it in the path of the DigiDestined where it grew larger and larger and took on the form of a champion Digimon…
Jonathon and Tentomon came to a sudden halt in front of the large Digimon in front of them. "Devidramon." The rookie gulped.
Elecmon had now managed to get to his feet. He watched as the mysterious figure made his get away into the trees that surrounded the village. He had done something to that Digi Egg and Elecmon needed to find out what.
Devidramon roared and began to stamp his way towards the boy and Digimon. He didn't care what he stood on and luckily there were no Digi Eggs in his path.
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon fired his attack with all his strength. It hit Devidramon and disappeared not even harming him.
"No use Tentomon. We need more power!" Jonathon exclaimed. He looked down at his digivice in his hand. "If only I knew how to activate the Digital Ring… what did Dad say?" he thought to himself. All this pressure was making the events from this morning blurry.
Tentomon jumped out of the way of Devidramon's claw attack. "Hurry up and think of something! I can't hold him off for long."
Jonathon closed his eyes and tried his best to remember what his father had said. But the roars from Devidramon and the cries from Tentomon kept disturbing him.
"Shortly after Agumon's courage increased, his power matched that in less than a second. That's the fastest power enhance I've ever seen. And it's all down to the Digital Ring."
Jonathon's eyes snapped open. "That's it! The trait! Dawn's grandfather said whenever we or the Digimon reach the traits level it'll activate the ring inside the Digivice!"
Knowledge. That was his trait he had inherited off his father. But how could he use that knowledge to their advantage? They had to outsmart Devidramon somehow…
Jonathon watched the battle continue. Devidramon was freely moving about every time Tentomon released his attack. Space. That was one of Devidramon's advantages.
The black haired boy slowly turned his head to the trees that surrounded the village. A smile appeared on the boy's face. "That's it." He muttered under his breath. "Tentomon! Follow me!" he called up to his Digimon.
Tentomon watched as Jonathon ran towards the trees. Unsure what his human partner had in mind the insect Digimon followed. "Super Shocker!" he released another attack so Devidramon would keep on his tail. It worked and the dragon Digimon flew angrily after them.
Jonathon entered the trees and was soon joined by Tentomon.
"So what's the plan?" Tentomon asked.
Suddenly there was a loud crash as Devidramon flew right into the branches of the trees and fell to the ground just behind the DigiDestined and his partner.
Jonathon quickly jumped out of the way. So far his plan was working. "We need to outsmart him. So far, we're winning." He smiled as he held up his purple digivice. The screen was glowing slightly.
"Dark Gale!" Devidramon shot out two thick beams from his eyes. He missed the boy and Digimon. The attack struck a large tree trunk slicing it in two. The tree fell to the ground with an almighty crash.
Devidramon had one of his wings caught in a thick vine. His roars echoed through the trees as he tried to free himself. He slashed his claws at anything possible destroying grass, plants and whatever else was in his way.
"How is this outsmarting him? He's getting angrier by the second." Tentomon commented. They were stood watching but kept their distance. Neither moved an inch.
"Exactly." Jonathon smiled. His digivice was glowing stronger and stronger. "We've outsmarted him as we've led him into a small area. He needs his space and now he hasn't got it he's getting frustrated." He continued to watch. "And when he's attacking like this he's sure to hurt himself."
Beep, beep! Jonathon's attention directly turned to his digivice. It was shaking as the screen was overwhelmed with light. The second keeper of Knowledge smiled. If this was what he thought it was… this battle was theirs for the taking.
"Excellent. Just what I predicted." Jonathon grinned holding his Digivice up in the air. "Digital Ring, Release!"
A beam of light shot up out of the digivice's screen. The light filled the area and it burst out from the tree tops and into the sky. As the light faded a small golden ring floated downwards…
Tentomon jumped up into the air. Holding out one of his hands he let the ring slip on. And once it did, his body was engulfed with golden light….
"TENTOMON DIGIVOLVE TO… FLYBEEMON!"
The light faded. And now hovering in the air just above Jonathon was Tentomon's champion form Flybeemon.
He wasn't a large Digimon. But his power would make up for that. At first glance you could tell he was a bee Digimon. His colour was red with a metal helmet on his head that had the crest of Knowledge engraved on the front. He had metal claws and two metal spikes over his kneecaps. His long wings spread as he floated higher into the air. On the back, he had a long red tail with a small spike at the end.
Flybeemon swooped down and head butted Devidramon with all his force. The power from the attack sent the dragon Digimon flying out of the trees. He landed on the outskirts of the village.
The newly digivolved champion burst out of the trees and flew high into the air. "Poison Stinger!" Flybeemon shot out his stinger several times.
Devidramon rolled left to right then back to left on the dusty ground. He dodged every stinger that came his way. Except the last one. The seventh stinger caught him off guard and pierced his skin and dug into his arm.
The dragon wailed and ripped it out of his forearm. The poison from the stinger began to enter his blood stream. But that didn't stop him. "Crimson Claw!" Leaping into the air, he brought his arm back and slashed his claws at Flybeemon.
The small insect was much quicker and buzzed either side of Devidramon missing each attempt that was thrown at him.
Jonathon smiled and admired his Digimon's fighting skills. "You've got the advantage Flybeemon! The poison will start to slow him down!" he called up.
Flybeemon flashed a smile. "I'm far too impatient to wait for that. I like a challenge." His smile slowly turned into a sly grin. "I'm ending this now."
Hovering in the air, he soared down headfirst towards Devidramon. Clenching his three metal claws into a fist, he slammed his hand into the dragon's face.
Each time he turned and struck again. Devidramon was growing weaker from the poison so his reaction time was gradually getting slower. Finally the mighty champion collapsed to the ground after one final tremendous punch from the little insect.
Falling onto his back, Devidramon lay there motionless. But he managed to lift his head up the slightest bit just to see Flybeemon aim his stinger straight for him…
His stinger began to glow a dark blood red as all his energy collected to that point. "Lightning Sting!" A bolt of red lightning surged out.
Devidramon remained still as the poison had vanished almost all of his strength. His fate gaining closer and closer.
Time seemed to stop as the attack struck Devidramon's body. The whole village was lit up by a bright red light that only lasted for a few seconds. All the baby Digimon peered out from whatever they were hiding behind.
They watched as the light faded and Devidramon's data rose into the air before slowly disappearing. The babies cheered and bounced out of their hiding places and crowded around the DigiDestined and Digimon.
Jonathon smiled as he picked up the nearest baby, a Botamon. "Don't worry. You're safe now." He said softly. He looked ahead to see the babies were bouncing up and down Flybeemon, even crawling onto him. The young Izumi boy chuckled. "Looks like you've got a little fan club there."
Flybeemon sighed as a Leafmon jumped onto his head. "Just great."
Jonathon's attention then turned to Elecmon. He was stood quite a bit away from the celebration. In front of the small rookie were four Digi Eggs.
The black haired DigiDestined carefully placed the Botamon down on the ground who immediately bounced to Flybeemon and his friends. As Jonathon walked over to Elecmon, he saw the sad look upon the rookie's face.
"What's wrong?" Jonathon asked. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the four Digi Eggs had turned a dull green colour. The boy gulped as he knew something was wrong. It must have had something to do with that mysterious figure.
Elecmon was silent. Until he spoke quietly; "These eggs have been infected with something. They shouldn't be this colour. And now…" he took in a sharp breath before finishing his sentence. "They might not last the week."
Jonathon dropped to his knees. How could someone be this cruel to kill four unborn Digimon? He lowered his head. "Wait…" he lifted his head up. "Let me take the eggs home." He pleaded.
"What?" Elecmon gave the young boy a confused look. "I can't let you take them away from the village. It would be dangerous."
"But they'll die if they stay here." Jonathon protested as he got to his feet. "Trust me, my father could do research on this and find out what it wrong with them. He's the Digital World's top researcher and he could even find a way to cure them before it's too late."
Elecmon stared at the ground before glancing up at the four eggs. "Well… okay." He finally spoke. "Promise me you'll take good care of them."
Jonathon smiled and nodded at the keeper of the village. "Of course I will. Don't worry about a thing." He bent down and picked up two of the eggs. "I promise we'll have these eggs back to good health very soon."
In the shadows, in between the trees, the hooded figure had returned. After disappearing into the small woodland, he had turned around and quietly made his way back. He had witnessed Devidramon's final moments and right now his piercing red eyes were locked on Jonathon and Flybeemon.
"Argh… I need to get those eggs back before it's too late. Damn kid." He muttered under his breath. He huffed before withdrawing back into the darkness…
