Digimon 2.5 "Digimon Adventure 03"
Episode 4: "An Egg-traordinary Day!"
.:Thunder Mountain, Digital World:.
"ARGH!" The hooded figure was getting frustrated as he paced up and down his room. "These foolish children are coming in and out of this world like they don't have a care! How did they gain access? I thought the portals were closed!"
"I'm guessing Gennai reopened them all." The blonde girl commented from the other side of the room.
"Gennai? That medalling old fool!" he spat under his breath.
"Plus, it didn't help when you sent me to Odaiba. You damaged the barrier that seals the Digital World off. Now there are Digital Splits all over the city and here. Smooth move." The girl mocked, with a chuckle.
"Silence!" her master roared slamming his fist down on the table. "We can't do anything about these so called Digital Splits but we can seal the portals once again."
"Sir?" Garurumon X wondered what he was thinking.
"Leave that side of things to me. You just concentrate on getting those eggs back!"
The girl stood up right and clenched her fists. "No way! They're your eggs, you get them back!"
"Are you refusing orders Stacey?!" her master raised his voice with anger.
The girl was taken back abit. Her master never addressed her by her real name.
Garurumon X stepped in. "What I think my partner is saying is that it would be wrong to send her back to earth. That would just damage the barrier even more." He walked up to his boss. "Also she might try to escape." He whispered.
The hooded figure thought for a moment. "Excellent point Garurumon X. We need someone who is going to be reliable… send out an ultimate Digimon. Strong, but small. That should keep those little brats busy."
.:Izzy's research lab, Minato, Tokyo
It was the following morning after the attack on Primary Village. Jonathon was at his father's lab with the four infected Digi Eggs in his care. They were sat upon the desk that was in front of the small window.
Although it was a Monday, it was teachers' days at school so Odaiba Elementary was closed for the next few days. Usually Jonathon hated these teacher days but today he was secretly glad as it meant he could spend most of the day with his father and try to save the Digi Eggs.
They were still their unusual green colour but now had specks of black appearing in some places which meant they were starting to get slightly worse.
The young Izumi boy had taken responsibility to take care of the eggs until his father arrived back from his lunch. Jim and Haruhiko both had today off so today it was just father and son.
Jonathon leaned back in his chair and studied his laptop screen. He had uploaded his photos he had taken the previous day and was admiring them.
Tentomon hovered beside his human partner. "Those photos came out really well. You caught the right moment when I was about to strike Devidramon."
Jonathon smiled. "They're perfect." He then turned to the eggs and sighed. "I just wish I could say the same for these little guys…" he trailed off into his own thoughts.
Suddenly the front door burst open startling the young boy. He whirled around in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dawn and Agumon walk in through the door.
"Don't do that again please." Jonathon commented, his heart still pounding in his chest from the fright.
"What?" Dawn asked, totally clueless as she stood in the doorway.
Jonathon sighed and shook his head before he turned back to his laptop and continued with his work.
"What're you doing here anyway?" Tentomon asked. "I thought you two hated this place?"
"That's true but unfortunately this is the only way into the Digital World." Dawn replied slumping against the wall.
"We wanna go and see if we can find out more about that weird girl." Agumon added.
"Sorry but no one is going to the Digital World." Jonathon answered, his eyes not shifting from the laptop screen.
"And why not?" Dawn questioned standing up right.
"Because I'm in charge here and I say no one's going. Not today anyway. Especially alone." The young genius responded.
Dawn huffed and crossed her arms, sulking. She knew she couldn't win this one and outsmart him into letting her go. "Fine!" she pouted.
The purple laptop bleeped once and a window popped up on the screen saying it was time for a new battery as the current one was about to die out. "Oh no. I completely forgot about the battery." Jonathon groaned.
He stood up. "I'll have to go to the store." He grabbed his jacket but paused before he put it on.
He couldn't leave the eggs alone. Something might happen to them. He looked up to see Dawn and Agumon turning to leave. "Hey!" he called. "Could you do me a favour?" he asked.
"What's in it for me?" Dawn questioned as she turned to him crossing her arms.
"Well… nothing. I just need you to do me a favour-"
"Then forget it." The Kamiya girl simply replied before turning back around towards the door.
Jonathon sighed. This girl was hard work. "Alright fine!" he exclaimed just as she was about to exit through the main door. He thought for a second. "While I'm out I'll get you one of those big candy bars okay?"
Dawn thought it over in her mind before answering. "Depends if it's worth it. What've I got to do?"
"Easy." Jonathon smiled. "All you have to do is look after these four Digi Eggs while I'm gone." He motioned to the eggs resting on the table.
"That's it?" Dawn ask a little dumbfounded. "Why do you need someone to baby-sit these stupid eggs anyway? It's not like they're gonna grow legs and wander off is it?" she added with a sarcastic tone.
"Dawn these eggs are very important. They've been infected with something deadly and will die. It's like a super virus or something. It's a long story but if someone's not here looking after them they might be stolen. I have this feeling someone is after them."
"Who would want to steal four large eggs?" Agumon piped up.
"Someone who's hungry and wants a big omelette." Dawn joked as she laughed.
Jonathon gave her an unpleased look whilst Tentomon hovered in the air. "You want your free candy or not?" the insect Digimon asked.
"Alright, alright I'll look after the dumb eggs." Dawn sighed as she collapsed into the nearest chair. She then looked around. "Where is everyone anyway?"
Jonathon unplugged his laptop and closed it down. "My father's out on a lunch break and Mr Kido and Mr Takenouchi have the day off."
"The eggs are dying and Mr Izumi is out to lunch?" Agumon questioned with a puzzled look.
"My father thinks well when he's completely alone. The fresh air and a good meal helps him come to the right conclusions." Jonathon replied.
He placed his laptop inside his bag before placing it on his back. "Okay, I won't be long. The store is about five blocks away." He headed for the door with Tentomon by his side.
He paused for a brief second. "Oh and don't try sneaking off into the Digital World. My father has put a lock on it and you need the password. And it's a word you can't even say let alone spell." He added slyly before leaving the lab.
Dawn glared at him as she watched him leave before muttering under her breath. "Smart ass."
"So, what're we gonna do?" Agumon asked as he jumped up onto a chair and spun on it slightly.
Dawn glanced around the lab. Everywhere there were computers, electrical equipment and such. "Not much. This is a nerd's paradise." She sat down at one of the computers and being to take a look through the files.
Agumon turned in his chair to face the four Digi Eggs on the table. "Wonder what happened to the little guys." He thought aloud.
"No idea. Wasn't really listening when he was explaining it." His human partner replied as she opened a folder in the documents.
"You never listen to anything." The rookie paused as he watched her. "What're you doing? Don't touch anything. If anything breaks, they're gonna blame you."
"Oh relax Agumon. I'm just looking through the files." Dawn replied. She opened a document and began to read what was typed. But as she did, she got more confused by the second.
"Hey!" Agumon suddenly piped up. "Look at this, one of the eggs is moving."
Dawn looked from the screen and walked over to where her Digimon was sat and studied the egg he was pointing to. It jumped a tiny bit then remained still. "Aren't those eggs getting blacker?" she asked.
"You're right." Agumon agreed. "That can't be a good sign."
Dawn sighed and collapsed back into the chair she was sat in moments ago. She couldn't remember the last time she was this bored. "This is pointless. These eggs aren't gonna get stolen. No one else can get in here."
"Hey, don't think about leaving already. I want my candy!" the rookie exclaimed.
"Who says it's your candy?" Dawn shot back.
"I at least get half!" Agumon protested.
Dawn burst out laughing at her Digimon's reaction. She loved winding him up about the simplest of things. She began to look through the contents of the computer once more. A wide grin soon spread across her face when she found something to keep her occupied.
"Alright!" she cheered, startling her Digimon. "They've got games on here. Space Invaders 9000!" she loaded the game and began to play.
"Let me play! Let me play!" Agumon cheered as he jumped down from the chair and ran over to his friend, climbing into the chair beside her.
"You wanna play against me? You know you'll lose." Dawn taunted him with a smirk.
"I'll have you know when you've been at school I've been practicing on your Nintendo Revolution!" Agumon shot back, crossing his arms triumphantly.
"Yeah well keep practicing Agumon because you still suck." Dawn burst out laughing her brown eyes fixed on the game she was winning.
The rookie Digimon huffed and turned in his chair so his back was facing his human partner. "Huh? Hey look there's Dan and Veemon!" he said, noticing Dawn's best friend walk past the window.
The young Kamiya girl turned and just caught a glimpse of him. She leaped out of her seat and dashed out of the lab and out the main door onto the street. "Hey Dan!" she yelled.
Dan, who was walking with his Digimon partner Veemon, turned at the call of his name. He smiled. "Hey Dawn!" he jogged back towards her. "What're you doing here?"
"Babysitting some stupid eggs whilst Jonathon gets a new battery for his laptop. I wanted to go to the Digital World but he wouldn't let me." She explained with a childish pout.
Dan laughed. "I'd never thought you'd let a computer freak tell you what to do."
"Trust me I'd be in the Digital World right now but his dad's put a lock on the portal and I don't know the password." Dawn responded. At this point Agumon had joined them outside.
"Why not use a Digital Split?" Veemon chirped up.
"That would take all day just to find one." Agumon said. "It would be easier just to travel through the portal."
"Well let's take a look at these special Digi Eggs then." Dan said, walking past his best friend and into the building. He was followed by his Digimon and then last by Agumon and Dawn.
Entering the main lab room his blue eyes cast over to the far end where the Digi Eggs lay on the table. They were sitting motionless and the black specks were slowly growing bigger.
"That's it? That's what you've gotta hang around here for?" The goggle boy questioned looking at the eggs with an unimpressed look.
Veemon stood up on his tip-toes and tried his best to peer over the top of the table. "They're not doing much. Why do they need looking after?" he asked with a curious look.
"Exactly. All I know is I'm getting free candy if nothing happens to them." Dawn replied, slumped against the wall like she was when she first arrived earlier on.
Agumon faked a cough. "Excuse me? I believe that is we not I."
Dawn rolled her eyes. "Anyway, he has this whacked-out theory that someone is after these eggs so they need to be constantly looked after. It's a loud of crap if you ask me."
Dan studied the room. It was full of computer equipment and all kinds of gadgets he hadn't seen before. "You think we'd have a blast with all this cool stuff." He leaned back, his elbow resting on the keyboard of one of the computers.
It bleeped as he pressed down on a couple of buttons. The goggle boy jumped up and turned to see what had happened. He had opened the password for the portal and when he leaned on the key pads he had entered a few letters. A message saying "Access Denied" popped up on the screen over the portal.
"Don't touch anything!" Dawn exclaimed. "If you break it there goes my allowance for the next year."
"Relax." Dan laughed holding up his hands defensively. "Nothing's broken."
"So." Dawn began. "Wanna play Space Invaders with me? Want to challenge the undefeated champion of the world?" she taunted.
Dan gave her a victorious smile. "You're on."
Agumon and Veemon soon joined their two partners at the computer and jumped into the empty seats beside them. Dawn set the game to two player and the two best friends began to battle each other…
As the minutes went quickly by, the children and Digimon forgot all about what they were supposed to be keeping an eye on. Although the Digi Eggs were still sat there unmoving, one was about to break free from the group…
The Digi Egg on the far left of the four twitched a little. The young DigiDestined still had their minds on the game they were playing. The egg remained still after that but suddenly jolted and fell off the side of the table.
"Alright I win again!" Dawn cheered, pumping her fist in the air.
"Best out of ten!" Dan protested.
The Digi Egg rolled slightly away from the desk and into the middle of the room. It was twitching constantly now and began to have a slight glow to it. A familiar cracking sound could not be heard over the children's taunts and chants and the egg split into two, the top half popping off like a cork.
Something peered out from in one half of the egg shell. Its eyes peered out. The little Digimon jumped out of the egg and bounced a few steps taking in its new surroundings.
The baby's name was Puffmon. A tiny white Digimon, that looked like the end of a brush with its fur brushing against the floor. He had two long white ears with red at the ends. His big black eyes looked up, down, and around.
His eyes soon focused on the four figures huddled around the computer. Curious to who or what they were the baby continued to stare, blinking innocently. But his attention was turned from them to the sounds of other life coming from outside the room.
The front door had not been shut properly and a small gust of wind and blew it open just a crack, big enough for something small to fit through.
Puffmon glided across the floor, his presence still unaware to the children or Digimon. He exited the main lab room and headed to the crack in the door. Peering out of the small gap, he saw a few people walk past, cars and buses on the roads. All these things were new to him and that just intrigued him more to venture outside.
One swift slide and he was out through the gap in the door and out into the city, seconds before a gust of wind slammed the door shut with an almighty 'slam!'
Dan jumped a little and turned to the direction where the sound had come from. Realising it must have been the door he shrugged it off. Before continuing with his game, his eyes caught a glimpse of something on the floor. "Hey Dawn? You had an omelette or something?" he asked, jokingly.
"No why?" his best friend replied.
"Because there is an egg shell on the floor."
At first Dawn didn't think anything of it. She continued to play her game. But it soon clicked in her mind and she and Agumon looked at each other before spinning round to see there was in fact an egg shell split in half on the floor.
Both pair of eyes immediately focused on the desk… where there was only three Digi Eggs.
"This can not be happening."
Roppongi Hills, Minato, Tokyo:.
Clouds began to form above the Roppongi Hills complex. What once was a collection of white fluffy clouds soon swirled together to create one large dark grey storm cloud. The surrounding area grew slightly darker as the clouds whirled slowly around the centrepiece of the complex, Mori Tower.
There was one quick flash of light. So quick most people probably wouldn't have seen it happen. A small figure appeared just below the clouds. Its features only a blur as it was so high up. It floated like a feather and perched itself on top of Mori Tower.
The creature's eyes scanned the whole city. He chuckled to himself. "Looks like I'll be doing a little Digi Egg hunting."
.:Izzy's research lab, Minato, Tokyo:.
"What're we gonna do?!" Dawn exclaimed. "If we don't find that Digimon I won't get my candy!"
"Our candy!" Agumon corrected her.
"It would help if we knew what we were looking for." Dan replied. "But surely if it was in this room we would have seen it by…." The goggle boy trailed off. "Oh no…"
Dawn didn't like the sound of his voice and turned to face him. "What?" she got no answer from him. "What?!" she yelled grabbing him by his shirt.
Dan gulped and pointed out of the room and in the direction of the front door. "Just before I noticed the smashed egg… I thought I heard the front door slam." He said meekly.
But then, to make matters worse, the front door was heard opening before closing. Both kids turned their attention to whoever was about to enter the room.
"Hey I'm back!" a familiar voice echoed throughout the room.
Seconds later, Jonathon and Tentomon appeared. "Oh hello Dan." Jonathon greeted him with a smile as he set his plastic bag down on the side.
"Hi." Dan simply replied in a mumble.
Jonathon then turned to Dawn. "So how did it…." He trailed off once he saw the egg shell in half on the floor by the girl's feet. "W-what happened?" he gasped.
"You know, I think there is a sale on at that computer superstore right over the other side of town. Why don't you check it out and we'll sort things out here." Dawn grinned sheepishly. She was trying to avert the conversation away from the egg but she knew deep down the older boy was too smart for that.
Jonathon started to panic. He began to scan the room for any sign on the baby Digimon. "I'm not in the mood for another one of your pranks you two!" He wasn't the kind of person to get angry so easily but when it was both Dawn and Dan playing one of their practical jokes it did strain his patients. And he had been the victim of their jokes quite a few times.
"Well if Dan had closed the door properly when he came in then this wouldn't have happened." Dawn responded crossing her arms.
Jonathon stood there frozen for a few seconds. It didn't take him long to realise what had now happened to that baby Digimon. His anger was slowly rising… "I can't believe you!" he suddenly snapped. "I ask you to do the simplest thing and you mess it up!"
Whilst Jonathon was ranting, Tentomon had buzzed over to the computer. "I think this explains why the Digimon escaped."
Jonathon stormed over and saw the game was still on the screen. "I should have known. How stupid was I?" the black haired boy laughed to himself. "I should've known a simple task like this was beyond you're capability."
Dawn stood up straight, clenching her fists. "Hey, wait just a minute brain box!" she snapped. "I didn't know the stupid thing was gonna hatch did I?! Besides we were only playing that game for a few minutes!"
Jonathon didn't believe her. So he looked down at the bottom right hand corner of the screen where the time was displayed. "Forty one minutes huh? That's the longest couple of minutes I've ever seen." He said sarcastically. "I told you they need constant looking after! But I guess you didn't listen like usual!" Jonathon continued to shout. "And now I will probably get blamed for this mess you and your short attention span have caused!"
"You just need to chill out!" Dawn retorted.
"Can I say something?" Dan asked, quietly sticking his hand up.
"No!" Jonathon snapped back at him.
"What's going on in here?" a voice called startling the children and Digimon. The voice belonged to Izzy. He walked into the room with his laptop under his right shoulder. Upon seeing the small crowd in his work place he turned to his only child. "Uhh son, this is my office, not a place to hang out." He said, with a slight hint of humour.
But Jonathon didn't find it amusing. "This is all her fault." He muttered, having a quick glance at Dawn. "I left her and Agumon to look after the eggs while I went out. And when I came back they were playing a stupid computer game and one of the eggs had hatched and has now escaped!" he explained.
"Why are you so worried about those eggs anyway?" Veemon wondered.
"Because I made a promise to Elecmon!" the older boy snapped. He was annoyed if it wasn't pretty obvious, mostly with Dawn. He trusted her to do this one thing for him and she let him down. If she couldn't baby sit a few Digi Eggs, how could she be a trusted and dependant DigiDestined?
"I promised I would look after these eggs and nurse them back to health." He turned to face the Kamiya girl. "But you wouldn't understand as all you care about is yourself! He'll never trust me again if I don't get this egg back" Jonathon was secretly surprised at himself. He was usually a calm boy who stepped in to solve things but now he was the one creating the situation.
"Aren't you overreacting here?! You're acting like it's the end of the world or something!" Dawn shot back.
"Okay that's enough." Izzy stepped in between the arguing kids. "Standing around arguing about this is not going to bring the Digimon back."
"Yeah, you're giving me a headache." Tentomon complained.
Izzy turned his attention to his son. "And please calm down Jonathon. I understand how you feel but pointing the full blame on Dawn isn't going to solve things."
"See Jonathon!" Dawn grinned in a rather boasting way.
Izzy turned to face the young girl. "I didn't say you were entirely innocent. Jonathon trusted you to take care of those eggs but you let him down. You need to take some responsibility in life."
Dawn huffed and crossed her arms, turning the other way.
"So what do we do now?" Dan finally spoke up after watching the argument in the background.
"Well because this Digimon is only a baby my programme won't be able to pick up its weak signal. But I'm pretty sure your digivices will. So I suggest you get out there and start searching. For a baby Digimon the city is a dangerous place." The middle aged man replied.
"Alright then, let's go!" Dawn exclaimed, taking her orange digivice off her belt.
"I think you've done enough already." Jonathon muttered, staring at her with an unpleasant look.
"But you can't find this Digimon alone. The city is too big." Agumon said.
"Yeah there is no 'I' in team. So whether you like it or not I'm going." Dawn replied.
.:Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo:.
Puffmon was thoroughly enjoying his time in Shiba Park. Whilst the DigiDestined had been arguing he had travelled through the city and into the park. He was bouncing happily down the main path watching the people that he past.
Some were sat on the grass having picnics, others were playing games and such and children played in the playground just to the left. Puffmon seemed to be drawn by the swings and slides. He scampered across the grass and squeezed through the metal bars that closed the playground from the rest of the park.
He made his way to one of the small slides. He watched as a small boy climbed up the steps under the watchful eye of his mother. The boy got to the top and smiled before sliding down cheering.
Puffmon made a happy gurgling noise and mimicked the boy. He found it harder to climb the steps but he made it. Upon reaching the top he peered down before throwing himself down the slide, gurgling once more.
"Look Mommy! A puppy!" a little girl screeched. She toddled over and picked the little Digimon up. "Look Mommy look!"
The girl's mother walked over and looked down at what her daughter had in her hands. "You sure that's a puppy sweetie?" she asked with an uncertain look.
Puffmon gurgled and blew bubbles from his mouth. The girl giggled but her mother wasn't as impressed.
"Put that down Emiko!" she exclaimed, grabbing her daughter's hand and dragging her away leaving Puffmon alone.
The baby Digimon pouted and turned around with his eyes lowered. He then slowly made his was out of the playground and along the path that would lead him out of the park and towards the Roppongi Hills complex.
Roppongi Hills, Minato, Tokyo:.
Dawn looked at her digivice in her right hand. So far there was no signal from the baby Digimon. "Still nothin'." She muttered to Dan next to her. They had ended up in the Roppongi Hills mega complex just at the foot of Mori Tower.
Jonathon, who was still a little upset with them, had decided it would be better to split up and cover more of the city. So he had gone alone with Tentomon.
Dan looked at his own digivice. "If we don't find this Digimon before something happens to it, we're dead." He commented.
Dawn just laughed. "Like Jonathon would beat us in a fight. He'd probably use his techno talk to try and scare us."
"That's the maddest I've ever seen him." Agumon commented. "He really does care about those eggs… maybe we should apologise to him?"
Dawn snorted. "I don't need to apologise. If he cared so much about them he wouldn't have left to go buy a stupid laptop battery." She retorted.
"You know, you can be so stubborn sometimes." Agumon sighed.
"Am not!" Dawn protested glaring at her Digimon partner.
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
Beep, beep!
The sudden noise from the devices stopped the human and Digimon bickering and both children looked down at their orange and blue digivices. A faint signal had appeared and was slowly getting stronger. The location was coming from their right.
They turned their heads. A small bush was situated at the end of the building and it was rustling slightly. Their eyes were locked as Puffmon jumped out. He spotted the two young children looking at him and stared back.
"Hey! Is that him?" Dawn exclaimed, startling the little baby slightly. "Is that the little puff ball we've been searching for?"
"Sure looks like it." Agumon added. "But it looks like he found us."
"We can't scare him off." Dan said. He bent down slowly, his eyes fixated on Puffmon. "Hey little guy." He said softly. He motioned for him to come to him. "C'mon, we won't hurt you. We're your friends."
Puffmon hesitated before slowly waddling towards the DigiDestined, his eyes glued on them. As soon as he was close enough Dan scooped him up in his arms. "Phew." He sighed. "Now we've got the little guy lets get back to Mr Izumi's lab before anything else happens."
"No kidding." Dawn replied. "Maybe Jonathon will be able to calm down finally."
Beep, beep!
Another signal appeared on their digivices. Again it was a faint signal but the location was right on top of them. It started to grow stronger meaning whatever was causing the signal was getting closer.
"What's going on?" Dan questioned no one in particular as he shook his D-Power a little. "We've got the little guy. Who else is here?"
Dawn looked around just as confused as her best friend. The signal was rapidly growing stronger yet there was no sign of the Digimon creating it anywhere. That's when something clicked in her mind. She jerked her head upwards and looked up into the sky…
Soaring right down towards them with tremendous speed was a little round Digimon holding a chain saw in his right hand. He cackled as he held his chain saw back, reading to swipe it at the children and Digimon.
"Look out!" Dawn exclaimed. Reacting quickly she lunged forward and pushed Dan and herself out of harms way just in the nick of time.
The little Digimon missed them by inches and crashed into the ground, dust and dirt rising into the air. The force sent Agumon and Veemon flying backwards, skidding across the concrete.
Dawn and Dan slowly sat up, with Puffmon still in the goggle boy's arms. The collision the Digimon had made with the ground caused the public nearby to scream and bolt away in fear thinking it was some sort of explosion.
As the dust cleared, the Digimon got to his feet, still grasping his chain saw in his hand. He took one step forward giving a clear image of his appearance. He was small and round with his body made out of blue metal. Two metal horns stuck out of his head and his left arm seemed to be consisted of metal whilst the other was normal. Two brown gloves hid his hands and his dark red eyes were fixed on the kids whilst he flashed a devilish smirk.
The children got to their feet, their eyes fixated on their foe. They didn't want to break eye contact in case he made a quick move. Their Digimon hurried round and stood protectively in front of their partners. Dan clutched his digivice in his right hand and pressed the top button. It scanned the Digimon's data.
"Giromon." He muttered, breaking his stare from the Digimon for a quick second. "He's an Ultimate and machine Digimon."
Dawn just smirked and held up her digivice. "He's still no match for us. Agumon digivolve!" she commanded. "Digital Ring Release!"
Agumon grasped the ring in his hand as it exited the digivice and floated down in the air…
"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO… GREYMON!"
"Whoa!" Dan exclaimed as he watched Agumon transform into the large and fierce Greymon. "How did you do that?"
Greymon towered over Giromon. He lunged forward with his mouth open showing his sharp teeth. Giromon leaped up in the air, hovering above them and missing the dinosaur's attack.
He chuckled as he started up his chain saw once more. "Size doesn't matter. You'll never match my power. Now give me that Digimon… and the rest of the eggs."
"What?" Dawn and Dan gasped. "What do you want with the eggs?" the brown haired girl quizzed, narrowing her eyes.
"That is none of your concern little girl. Now give me that Digimon you little brats or I will get very angry!"
"Forget it!" Dan exclaimed angrily clutching Puffmon who whimpered in his arms.
"Very well. You leave me no choice… Guillo Chainsaw!" he lunged forward slashing his saw at the champion Digimon. It sliced Greymon's face and a small but long cut appeared on the side just underneath his brown helmet.
"Greymon! Are you alright?" Dawn called up.
"I'm fine." Greymon muttered standing up right once more. He stormed forward, attacking once more.
Giromon just smirked and dropped his chainsaw for a second before dodging Greymon's rampage. He grabbed the dinosaur's tail and began to swing him around like Greymon was just a rag doll.
The small Digimon let him go and Greymon collided with the side of a building. He groaned and collapsed to the ground.
Dawn clenched her fists as she watched helplessly from the sidelines as her Digimon was losing badly. And losing was something the Kamiya girl hated. They had to contact Jonathon. It was something she hated to admit to herself but she knew without more help Greymon would be destroyed.
.:Hinode Station, Minato, Tokyo:.
Jonathon and Tentomon were outside Hinode Station. They were taking a break by the entrance where people were piling in and out of the building. In the boy's left hand was his purple digivice. But unknown to him he and Tentomon were going in the wrong direction.
"Jonathon!" a voice faintly called from his D-Power. The boy sighed recognizing the voice. "Jonathon! I know you're there, answer!" "C'mon Jonathon!" That was now Dan's voice.
"Maybe you should answer that. They sound anxious." Tentomon spoke up.
Jonathon sighed and held his digivice up to his face. "What's wrong?" he asked into the small microphone that was just to the side of the screen.
"There's a Digimon attacking!" Dan's voice exclaimed. "We're at the Roppongi Hills- Ahh!"
Dan and Dawn's scream echoed through the digivice and Jonathon's eyes widened as he knew his friends were in trouble and they needed him.
Roppongi Hills, Minato, Tokyo:.
Greymon moaned in pain and crashed to the ground once more. It shook a little under his weight. His energy was extremely low he was close to d-digivolving back to Agumon. He cringed as he used the little amount of strength he had left to get back up.
Giromon revved up his chainsaw once more. "I'm sorry but your time is up. It's nothing personal. Just orders." He was about to sink his chainsaw into Greymon's back with no one being able to do anything…
"Lightning Sting!" a bolt of red energy appeared from above the sky and struck Giromon head on. The ultimate Digimon was thrown back and he skidded across the ground.
Flybeemon soared down from above Mori Tower and hovered just in front of the fallen Greymon. Although Flybeemon had arrived, there was no sign of Jonathon.
Giromon got to his feet. "Argh." He grunted. "So more wise guys huh? You really think another lame champion is gonna defeat me?"
"Do not underestimate us." Flybeemon snarled. "C'mon Greymon, lets finish off this creep."
At this point, Greymon had got to his feet and was stood beside the insect monster. "It will be my pleasure… Nova Blast!"
"Lightning Sting!" Both attacks joined as one creating a huge ball of explosive energy.
Giromon clutched his chainsaw and swooped up into the air, the attack hitting the ground leaving behind a huge crater. "You need to work on your aim a little more." He flew back down and with two swift punches he pounded both champions to the ground.
His attention turned to the DigiDestined. He formed an energy mine in the palm of his left hand. "Now, hand over that puff ball… or die!" he threatened.
The two best friends stood there, refusing to speak. Giromon got their answer. "Very well…. Big Bang Boom!" he released continuous attacks from his hand.
Dan and Dawn jumped every direction possible and dodged each attack that was thrown at them. Dust rose into the sky blocking their sight. Dawn began to cough as it got into her lungs. She didn't see what was heading her way until it was too late……
"Ahhh!" Dawn watched in horror as the small round mine grew closer and closer to her…
"Look out!" Dan exclaimed. He raced as fast as his young legs could carry him and threw himself at his best friend. Both of them crashed to the ground just in time as the mine exploded inches away from them.
Dan sat up. "Are you okay-" he was cut off as his digivice bleeped and a flash of light erupted from the screen. A small golden ring was released and floated down towards Veemon.
The blue rookie held out his arm and grasped the ring as it touched the palm of his hand….
"VEEMON DIGIVOLVE TO… STRIKEDRAMON!"
The light faded and revealed Veemon in his champion form. He was a dragon like Digimon who stood on two legs. He skin was blue and white, similar to what it was when he was Veemon. He had metal armour plates on his shoulders, head, hands and shins. He wore green pants and had red markings on his body. His red hair blew slightly in the breeze.
"Dawn! Dan!"
Both kids turned around to see Jonathon sprinting towards them. "You took your time." Dawn commented with a sarcastic tone. They both got to their feet.
"Now that we're all here let's take care of this cannon ball." Flybeemon commanded.
Strikedramon stood in his fighting pose in between Flybeemon and Greymon. "Let's do it."
All three champion Digimon charged towards their foe. Giromon was about to swing his chainsaw around but Greymon came in first, swinging his tail around and smacking the little ultimate up into the air where Flybeemon was waiting.
The insect monster waited for the right moment before slamming his fist into Giromon's body. A painful scream echoed across the complex as the ultimate crashed back down to earth.
"Strike Claw!" Strikedramon slashed his claws with one quick and almighty swipe.
Giromon's metal work was scratched as he collapsed to the ground, motionless. His eyes were still open and he grunted in pain.
Greymon stormed forward and withdrew his right leg back before bringing it forward and kicking Giromon into the air like a soccer ball.
"Argh!!" Giromon's scream grew fainter as he rose further and further into the sky.
"No one takes advantage of me." Greymon snarled. "Nova Blast!" he opened his mouth and breathed a ray of fire out and up into the sky.
Strikedramon formed a ball of energy in his hand and threw it up, joining Greymon's attack.
"Lightning Sting!" Flybeemon's attack was the last to join the already powerful ray of tremendous energy. Once it joined, there was a flash of light as the energy merged into an unstoppable ray that would destroy whatever it impacted.
The attack caught up with Giromon in the sky, and his scream echoed across the city as his body was engulfed by the flames and electricity of the blast. And a few seconds later peace was restored to Minato, Tokyo…..
Flybeemon landed on the ground next to Greymon and Strikedramon before all three d-digivolved back to their rookie forms.
Jonathon was gazing up at the sky watching the smoke settle, before he turned his attention to the two other DigiDestined. "Are you two okay?" he asked.
Both soccer-crazed kids nodded. "Yeah we're fine." Dan replied. He then nudged Dawn in the ribs and handed her Puffmon.
Dawn shot her best friend a look before facing the black haired boy. "Uhhh… here." She simply said handing Jonathon Puffmon. "We got him back for you. He uhh… actually found us."
"And?" Agumon and Veemon said in unison.
Dawn refrained herself from glaring at them. "And… I'm…uhh sorry." She muttered the last part quickly, moving her eye contact away from the bearer of Knowledge.
Jonathon just gave her a small smile. "Apology accepted. I guess I did overreact a little. But at least the complications are sorted now."
"So what happens now? Is he infected with the virus?" Agumon asked.
Jonathon looked down at the baby Digimon in his arms. "I think so. I won't know the extent of the virus until I get him back to my father's lab and perform some tests on him."
"Are you two coming back with us?" Tentomon asked.
Dawn snorted. "You've got to be kidding. After the day I've had I'm going home to take a serious nap."
"Me too!" Agumon piped up.
"I better get going too." Dan also added. "I only came here to get some groceries for my Mom. She'll be thinking I've gone to Yokohama for them."
Jonathon smiled. "Okay. Well thank you for your help." he bowed politely. "I guess I'll see you at school on Wednesday. Bye for now." And with that he turned and left the complex with Puffmon in his arms and Tentomon by his side.
Dawn turned to her best friend. "So." She began, flashing the Kamiya grin at him. "How does it feel to be a proper DigiDestined now?"
The goggle boy grinned back and the two friends shared a high five. "It's sweet!"
