Chapter 7: Island of Misfit Children
Hey everyone! It's me, sakuraphoenix, and I'm back with a new chapter! I know, it's been a while since I last updated, but I've been busy. I have a life too you know. Anyway, disclaimer time.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's
This will begin in a different point of view than I usually write in… Matt's point of view! Enjoy!
I don't know how long I was screaming as we fell down the tunnel, but it felt like a long time.
"Man, is this ever gonna end?!" exclaimed Takuya
"Let's hope so!" exclaimed Akiza
"And soon!" exclaimed Leo
We finally got out of the tunnel, and we were still falling! I braced myself for a hard impact, but instead, I was met with a soft landing, bouncy too.
"This looks like more fun than it is." Said Tommy
"You're not kidding." Said Koji
Sheesh, why did we have to get stuck with him?
"Whoa, is this a big playground?" asked Takuya
"If it is, what needs a playground this big?" I wondered
"We're gonna find out, aren't we?" asked Luna
"Of course." Said Leo
After we all found our center of gravity again, we got out of the ball pit, and began searching for the others.
"Keep your eyes peeled for Zoe and the others." Said Takuya
"Something tells me they're not gonna be easy to find in this place." Said Koji
"I hate to say it, but I think you're right." I said
We all noticed something in the sky. A robot?
"Hey, maybe that flying guy has seen them." Said Takuya
"A flying toy robot! Neat!" exclaimed Tommy
"Wait!" Akiza and Takuya exclaimed in unison
"Hey, robot!" exclaimed Tommy
We ran after all three of them. I don't know who's worse in this situation, Jack, or them.
"Check it out, this is awesome!" exclaimed Tommy
"Yeah! Check them out!" exclaimed Leo
"Hey, where'd he go?" asked Takuya
"Don't sit down you two! We don't have time for this!" exclaimed Koji
"Hey, let them have their fun Koji." Said Akiza
"Besides, they're just kids." I said
"Yeah, well I think they're babies." Said Koji
"Am not!" exclaimed Tommy
"Yeah! These are just some cool toys!" exclaimed Leo
"Yeah, they are cool, but this probably isn't the best time to be playing." Said Takuya
"Yeah, we need to know if the others are okay." I said
"Oh come on! What else can we play with all these neat toys?" asked Tommy
"Hey, is this the robot?" Luna asked while picking up a robot toy
"It looks like it." Said Akiza
Luna messed around with it a bit, and made one of its fists fly.
"Hey, that is cool! Super robot punch!" exclaimed Takuya
"Not you too!" exclaimed Koji
"Uh… well… I… I guess not. Put down the stupid toy!" exclaimed Takuya
I noticed that Tommy and Leo looked kinda upset after hearing Takuya's outburst. I didn't blame him, but the guy needs to learn to control his temper a notch.
"I wonder what happened to Zoe, J.P., Sakura, Jack, Yusei, and Crow." Said Takuya
"I think our only choice is to head for the forest terminal." Said Koji
"Sounds like a plan. Knowing the others, they're probably headed there right now." Said Akiza
I nodded in agreement, and I turned to face Tommy, Leo, and Luna, and I was surprise to see Tommy and Leo looking at some pig plush.
"Guys, check it out!" exclaimed Tommy
He pressed the brown ear, and it began to oink.
"Hey, look, we decided this isn't the time to play around, right?" asked Takuya
"You decided?!" exclaimed Leo
"Leo, Takuya's right. We really don't have time to play around." Said Luna
"Calm down you guys. Tommy, please don't start crying." Said Takuya
"Leo, Luna, please don't fight." I said
Tommy puffed his cheeks and turned his head away while Leo and Luna had their backs to each other.
"Aw man, I feel bad." Said Takuya
"Me too." I said
"Why? Because of them? The babies have to grow up sometime." Said Koji
Uh-oh, now Akiza looks mad.
"Don't be so mean! They're just kids for Pete's sake!" exclaimed Akiza
"Whatever." Said Koji
"No, you can't just say whatever, now listen up! I know you're not used to having friends, but you're a part of a team now, so you better show some support!" exclaimed Takuya
"Great idea, let's support the useless kids right up until the point where we all die because of their stupidity." Said Koji
"No wonder Saki calls you Captain Anti-Social." I said
"Yeah, tell me about it. No wonder no one likes you." Said Takuya
"Huh? What do you know?! Hmm?" asked Koji
"Okay you two, break it up!" exclaimed Akiza
"If you keep fighting, we'll never get to the Forest Terminal." Said Luna
We then heard the sound of a train, and a toy train showed up.
"Hey, it's a train!" exclaimed Tommy
After some convincing, we gave our feet a break by riding the toy train. Heck, even Koji was riding with us!
"Yeah, some train." Said Koji
"A toy train." Corrected Takuya
"*groan* Yeah, very funny, just drop it, okay? It's bad enough I have to ride on this stupid thing." Said Koji
"Koji's playing with toys." Leo, Luna, Tommy, and Takuya teased
"Hmph." Koji said in a very bad mood
We then noticed a gigantic, walking, yellow teddy bear with red eyes. I don't think it's friendly from this angle.
"Wow! That's wild you guys! It's a giant walking teddy bear!" exclaimed Tommy
"Hey, maybe he knows how to get to Forest Terminal." Said Takuya
We then got off the train and began running towards the bear, my reason, to keep these kids out of trouble.
"Hey! Buddy! Teddy! Wait up!" exclaimed Takuya
We saw the bear look at us, and it ran over with its arms outstretched. We immediately stopped in our tracks as the bear grabbed Takuya and knocked him to the ground.
"I am still undefeated! Woo." Said the teddy bear
He then helped Takuya back up.
"Now we wrestle for the championship of the world." Said the bear
That didn't sound good!
"Yeah! I'm next!" exclaimed Tommy
"I don't think this is the time Tommy!" Akiza exclaimed as we made a break for it
"Yeah! It'll crush us!" exclaimed Takuya
"Hey. No, wait. The championship. Oh, I get it. You wanna play tag." Said the bear
We hid in the ship as it ran past us.
"You guys sure are good at this." Said the bear
That was too close for comfort.
"That bear's dangerous." Said Koji
"And you didn't even get thrown down by him." Said Takuya
"Well, I don't know. He seemed kinda fun to me." Said Tommy
"Yeah, me too." Said Leo
"Fun?! Are you two nuts?!" I exclaimed
We were then thrown off guard by a sudden movement, and I think it was from the boat.
"Whose idea was it to hide on this crazy thing?" asked Akiza
"Don't look at me." Said Luna
"You wanna wrestle the bear instead?" asked Takuya
"Just get us off of here!" exclaimed Koji
Is it just me, or are we on a floating island?
"Hey, we're floating." Said Takuya
"Not anymore!" exclaimed Tommy
"I thought we were!" exclaimed Takuya
"Is anyone else feeling kinda sick?" asked Luna
"I am." Said Tommy
"Get us off of here before they lose it!" exclaimed Koji
"Sure, I'll just snap my fingers." Takuya said sarcastically
"Uh-oh." Luna and Tommy said in unison
"Don't look in my direction kids." Said Koji
"Don't point at me!" exclaimed Takuya
Thankfully the ride was over.
"I think they're going to be okay." Said Koji
"You okay Luna?" asked Akiza
"I think." Said Luna
Tommy burped soon after that.
"Get him off. Get him off!" exclaimed Koji
Tommy was gripping his stomach. Poor guy.
"You gonna be okay kid?" asked Takuya
"Uh-huh." Said Tommy
"Come on. You want a piggyback ride?" Takuya asked as he bent down on his knees
"Give me a break. Make the kid walk." Said Koji
"Look, it's no big deal. He's not feeling well, so I'll help him out, okay?" asked Takuya
"Oh yeah, and what'll happen if you're attacked while you're carrying him? You'll be too slow to run away, that's for sure! You're about the worse leader I've ever seen. You never think ahead." Said Koji
"Well at least I think about someone besides myself Mr. Definition-of-the-word-selfish!" exclaimed Takuya
"I can walk." Said Tommy
"Hey. Tommy, you sure?" asked Takuya
"Yeah, I mean, I really don't have a choice." Said Tommy
"I got an idea. Let's see if anyone lives in that house. Maybe they can help us." Said Takuya
We walked over to the house, and it was actually some kind of candy place.
"Now I know what it's like to be a kid in a candy store." Said Takuya
"And it's the best thing ever!" Tommy exclaimed before eating some cotton candy
"I guess we could take a little time to have a snack, right?" asked Takuya
"Here, have some." Tommy said as he gave a cotton candy to Takuya
He then gave me, Akiza, Leo, Luna, and Mr. Anti-Social one.
"We do not have time to sit around here, stuffing our faces with candy. We have to find a way to get to the forest terminal! We're not out having fun at a carnival or something! You understand? Are you listening to me?! Man, you're infuriating!" exclaimed Koji
As Sakura would say, he should look in a mirror.
"What are we supposed to do? We're floating on an island!" exclaimed Takuya
"There's another example of why you'll never be a good leader. You just give up! It's like you don't wanna even help your friends at all. I mean, take a look at what you're doing right now." Said Koji
"I don't see you coming up with any ideas." Said Takuya
"At least I'm not just eating. We need to think about the other Legendary Warriors." Said Koji
"Legendary wh… what are you talking about?" asked Takuya
"What if the other six warriors turn out to be on the enemy's side?" asked Koji
"But…" started Takuya
"If they are, we'll need a plan. We have to think about the worst case scenario, not just play games and eat sweets, or we might not make it out of this world alive!" exclaimed Koji
"Just be quiet Koji!" exclaimed Akiza
She's getting steamed. Uh-oh.
"I know that you're concerned about the other Legendary Warriors. Believe me, I am too. It doesn't matter how we tackle the problem, we're always going to have a worst case scenario, and it doesn't help to talk about it at this time and situation!" exclaimed Akiza
"It doesn't matter. Ignoring it doesn't help either." Said Koji
"Look, can we not talk about this now?" asked Takuya
"You mean not in front of Tommy? I don't care if he's young! He has to learn to face the truth!" exclaimed Koji
"I'm… I'm sorry you hate me so much." Mumbled Tommy
"I don't hate you, it's just…" Koji said with a loss of words
"I'm sorry." Said Tommy
"Hey, it's alright. At times like this, Sakura would be trying to comfort us by solving our differences. She's like a big sister to us." Said Leo
"I wonder how she's doing right now." I wondered out loud
Sakura's P.O.V.
"Ah-choo!" I sneezed
"Bless you." Said Neemon
"Thanks. I think someone's talking about me." I said
"Great idea for you to conjure up this boat." Said J.P.
"I just hope the others are alright." I said worried
"Well the sooner we get to the Forest Terminal, the better." Said Crow
"Crow's right. Worrying about them now isn't going to help us." Said Yusei
"Besides, I'm sure the seven of them are bumbling along, getting into all kinds of trouble, or causing it I suppose." Said Bokomon
"Sounds like Jack in a nutshell." I said
"You're lucky I'm not feeling well Sakura!" A green-faced Jack exclaimed from the other side of the boat
"Hey look, there a fish in the water." I said
Jack looked and he immediately returned to being silent.
"Anyway, I'm sure they'll show up just fine at the Forest Terminal." Said Bokomon
"I hope you're right Bokomon." Said Zoe
Zoe and I then noticed J.P. at the back of the boat.
"J.P., what are you up to?" asked Zoe
"Wouldn't it be great if we could catch a big ol' fish for dinner?" asked J.P.
"Gracious, do you ever think with your head instead of your stomach?" asked Bokomon
"Boys." Said Zoe
"You can say that again." I said
Everyone then started talking at once.
"I don't want to hear it." Said Zoe
"Now shut up before I remove the card from my duel disk." I said in a threatening tone
Matt's P.O.V.
We got out of the store, with us way behind Takuya and Koji. I honestly didn't want to hear them fight.
"Does anyone wanna talk?" asked Tommy
"Fine. Let's talk about getting to Forest Terminal and what we're going to do about the other Legendary Warriors." Said Koji
"Ugh, you're unbelievable. I told you, I didn't want to talk about it in front of Tommy." Said Takuya
Luna dropped her D-Tector, and as I picked it up, Akiza and I saw the bear from earlier, except it looked different, and it was holding Leo, Luna, and Tommy hostage!
"Uh… guys?" asked Akiza
"Guys." I said
"GUYS!" Akiza and I exclaimed in unison
"What?" Koji and Takuya asked in unison
I'm guessing that they started running because after the bear snagged Leo and Luna along with Tommy, we ran full speed to catch up.
"It's that bear again!" exclaimed Takuya
"No, it's different now. It looks all funky." Said Koji
My D-Tector then started beeping.
"The ShadowToyAgumon turned Monzaemon into Warumonzaemon. His Heartbreak Attack will really bring you down." Said the female voice
"Thanks. Better watch out for it." I said
"Right." Said Akiza
"Hey you big fuzzy creep, give our friends back!" exclaimed Takuya
He then turned to us.
"Heartbreak Attack!" exclaimed Warumonzaemon
It managed to hit both Takuya and Akiza. Takuya was on his knees while Akiza was sitting down.
"What's the point?" asked Takuya
"Yeah, we're never gonna catch him." Said Akiza
They both then broke out into tears. What's gotten into them? Maybe this is the heartbreak at work.
"Why are you crying?" asked Koji
"What happened?" I asked
"I just feel really sad." Takuya said while still crying
"Me too." Akiza said while she too was still crying
"Heartbreak Attack!" exclaimed Warumonzaemon
Koji and I tried to get out of the way, but we ended up getting hit! Suddenly, I was on my knees, and I just couldn't help but feel sad.
"What just hit us Takuya, Akiza? I'm so sad." Said Koji
"Yeah, I feel like everything's hopeless, you know?" I asked
"It is hopeless!" exclaimed Takuya
"Sorry I yelled at you." Said Koji
"No, I'm sorry I yelled at you!" exclaimed Takuya
Suddenly, I wasn't feeling so sad anymore, and great, we're losing the bear!
"That attack is so not fair." Said Takuya
"Yeah, and now Tommy, Leo, and Luna are gone." Said Akiza
"What do we do?" I wondered
Eventually we all got up and started walking just to try and find it, wherever it was.
"Why do evil things always run faster than normal things?" wondered Takuya
"I don't see it anywhere." Said Koji
"This is our fault, because we were fighting, and didn't listen to Akiza or Matt. This really reminds me of the time I lost my little brother at the amusement park. I've never been so worried in my life until now." Said Takuya
"I know, little kids are always getting in the way." Said Koji
"That's not what he meant!" exclaimed Akiza
"Yeah! You have to be the most selfish kid in the universe! We have a responsibility to take care of Tommy, Leo, and Luna because they're younger! Sheesh, don't you have any siblings that you take care of when they need help or whatever?!" I demanded
"I don't have any. Happy now?" asked Koji
"Oh. We didn't know." I said
"If it makes you feel better, I didn't have any either." Said Akiza
"What about Sakura? Since you can't shut your mouth about her, why not tell us?" asked Koji
"She… she has a twin sister. Her name's Dawn. We don't know if she's alright right now with this whole Dark Signer, Digital world thing going on. She pretty much had to be the mother and father of her childhood." Said Matt
"What do you mean?" asked Takuya
"She and her sister were orphans when they turned ten. Their mom died when they were infants and their dad died when they were ten. Sakura was in the hospital for shock treatment and was in a coma. She may act like the tough girl on the outside, but inside, she's someone you can count on when the going gets tough. You may not know what it's like to have a sibling Koji, heck, neither do I, but when I met Leo and Luna, I pretended that they were my little brother and sister. Think that way for Tommy. Right now, they need us, they're alone and afraid, and as their siblings, we're going to stop them from feeling that way." I said
Koji then started running.
"Hey, wait up!" exclaimed Takuya
Does he have any idea where he's going?
"There's a friendly face. Hey, flying robot, we're looking for some little kids and a big bear. Have you seen 'em?" asked Takuya
It nodded and flew in the other direction. We eventually got to a lavender castle.
"In that creepy castle?" asked Koji
"How can it be creepy? It's lavender." Said Takuya
"Never underestimate your enemy." I said
We ran up to the foot of the drawbridge.
"It's just so lavender. Hey Tommy! Leo! Luna!" exclaimed Takuya
"Down here!" exclaimed Koji
"They can't hear us." Said Akiza
"Time for a different approach, no pun intended." I said
We then heard the robot in the air.
"Thanks!" Takuya exclaimed before the robot flew away
"You just can't stop playing with toys, can you?" asked Koji
"Well nothing's going to stop us now." Said Akiza
We ran onto the bridge and stopped when we saw some black toy Digimon
"Except that." Said Takuya
We all then felt the bridge move, and we almost took a deep swim! Suddenly, I saw some kind of panda save Koji and Takuya. Akiza and I swam after it, and it lead us to a cave, where we safely took a breath of air as the panda helped Takuya and Koji onto land.
"Once again, I, Pandamon, have foiled my fiendish foes, the sinister ShadowToyAgumon." Said Pandamon
"Yeah, great, thanks, so you saved us just so you could bring us down here and hurt us yourself." Said Koji
"Buddy, why are you so paranoid? Don't pay any attention to him. Thanks for helping us… Pandamon?" asked Takuya
"Pandamon, the protector. Welcome weary warriors to my secret lair, the Panda Cave." Said Pandamon
"Uh, okay…" Akiza said while trailing off
"I've hidden here since that black-hearted ShadowToyAgumon started meeting that chump, Cherubimon." Said Pandamon
"Cherubimon. Could this day get worse?" I wondered
"Because of Cherubimon's diabolical dogma, those misguided miscreants planned to go to the real world and reek their revenge on the children who stopped playing with them. The rest of us toys just want to play with kids." Said Pandamon
"That's so sad." Said Takuya
We all started walking as soon as Pandamon got up and lead the way.
"Most of the ShadowToyAgumon are busy with their baneful business of keeping the city afloat. With any luck, you four high-powered humans won't wander into the callous creatures on your way into the castle." Said Pandamon
"Yeah? And just when are we supposed to get to this castle again Pandamon?" asked Koji
He then stopped at a flight of stairs.
"This staircase will steer all four of you straight inside." Said Pandamon
"Thanks Pandamon." I said
"Don't thank me, just stop the ShadowToyAgumon." Said Pandamon
Koji opened the door while they managed to safely walk through while Akiza and I had to watch our heads.
"Lavender Castle, here we come." Said Takuya
And here come the ShadowToyAgumon! Akiza's D-Tector then started to beep.
"Evil hackers turned the ToyAgumon into ShadowToyAgumon. Their special attack is Plastic Blaze, but the pain it causes sure isn't fun and games." Said the female
Well, they sure weren't doing much to attack.
"Are they just gonna stand there?" asked Takuya
"Plastic Blaze!" exclaimed one of the ShadowToyAgumon
We then had to duck for cover.
"I guess not." Said Takuya
Our D-Tectors began to beep. Guess its spirit time.
"Execute… Spirit Evolution!" Takuya, Koji, Akiza, and I exclaimed in unison
"Agunimon!" exclaimed Takuya
"Fleurmon!" exclaimed Akiza
"Kizunamon!" I exclaimed
"Lobomon!" exclaimed Koji
Takuya's arms then ignited.
"No one's getting revenge on any kids! Pyro Tornado!" exclaimed Takuya
"Assist!" I exclaimed as my own arms ignited
They got knocked over like a bunch of bowling pins with the double fire power we served.
"Wow that was easy." Said Takuya
"Instant easy button." I commented
Okay, there was more of them.
"Maybe not." Said Takuya
Okay, that's not fair! They just made a tank!
"Cute, but what can a toy tank do?" asked Akiza
Here's an idea, fire missiles! That was too close for comfort!
"I got it!" exclaimed Koji
He then charged in, with sword in hand.
"Lobo Kendo!" exclaimed Koji
"Petal Storm!" exclaimed Akiza
That sent the tank packing.
"Show off, I could've done that." Said Takuya
"Yeah, but you didn't." said Koji
"I'd have done a better job." Said Takuya
Uh-oh. We got two giant statues!
"Sure you don't need a little help there buddy?" asked Takuya
Those statues almost punched their lights out!
"Why don't you take us on?!" exclaimed Takuya
And here come two more giants!
"Okay, bigger up close." I commented
They then started attacking us.
"So how can we beat them?" asked Takuya
"I got an idea!" exclaimed Akiza
"Follow our lead!" exclaimed Koji
Koji and Akiza ran up to us, so we ran over to them before all four of us jumped into the air, and we kicked off in different directions using our feet, giving the ShadowToyAgumon a big knuckle sandwich.
"Hey, it worked!" exclaimed Takuya
"It sure did. Now, time to purify your heart from the deeds you have done. Fractal Code… Digitize!" I exclaimed as I scanned the giant in front of me
As the ShadowToyAgumon turned back into ToyAgumon, we raced inside as we reverted back into our human forms.
"Hurry, we have to get them before it's too late!" exclaimed Koji
"Who knows what awful things that bear is doing to them?" wondered Takuya
We ran inside and began climbing up the stairs.
"Hang on guys!" exclaimed Akiza
We then heard the sound of fighting in there.
"They're fighting!" exclaimed Takuya
"Stay back! Twilight Rose Knight, tear down that door!" Akiza exclaimed as she activated her duel disk
Twilight Rose Knight appeared, and the door was history. We ran in only to see Leo, Luna, Tommy, and the bear having fun playing a video game.
"I win! Champion of the world!" exclaimed Tommy
"Tommy, Leo, Luna, what are you doing?" asked Koji
"What's it look like I'm doing?" asked Tommy
"But we thought you were in trouble." Said Takuya
"I know. I feel just awful about that guys, but these little troopers saw through to the real me, and played with me anyway. They're good kids." Monzaemon said as he rubbed the top of their heads
"So can we keep him?" asked Tommy
Koji and Takuya groaned before I nervously scratched the back of my head while Akiza sweat-dropped.
"But why can't we keep him?" asked Tommy
"Ah, fantastic friends. To make up for their monstrous mistakes, the ToyAgumon insist they take you off the island." Said Pandamon
We cheered hearing those words. At least we'll be able to get to Forest Terminal faster.
"Cool!" Leo and Tommy exclaimed in unison
"Hey you guys, how come you weren't scared?" asked Takuya
"Well, I'm really not afraid of airplanes." Said Tommy
"He meant when you guys were captured by that evil teddy bear." Said Akiza
"Well, to be honest, at first I was so scared of him that I almost wet my pants, but then we figured out that the big guy only wanted to play video games with us." Said Tommy
"Probably only a kid could figure that out." Said Koji
"You're right." I said
"And you thought kids weren't good for anything." Said Takuya
"Guys, if you look down, you can see the forest." Said ToyAgumon
We looked down, and what a view! I wish Sakura could see this.
"Wow!" Tommy, Leo, and Luna exclaimed in unison
"Cool!" Takuya, Akiza, and I exclaimed
"It's just trees." Sighed Koji
"And as special thanks, how about a little excitement?" The ToyAgumon asked before doing some stunts in the air
"Maybe I am afraid of airplanes!" exclaimed Tommy
Sakura's P.O.V.
We just got off the boat after we hit a shallow area in the water.
"Um, I hate to say this guys, but I think we're lost." Said Zoe
And where will they end up next? Oh well, that's gonna come soon, I hope. I'm really, really, really sorry that it took me this long to update! Please review, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Guo nian hao! Happy Chinese New Year!
