Personally, I can't chose case I like them all. But if you have a favorite one, please tell me! After wards, that gang all goes and see where Digimon are born! Pretty cool huh? This is a claim before the storm chapter. Wait until you see what I have next!
Chapter Ten The Place Where Digimon Babies are Born
It is another peaceful day, well peaceful enough in Gigabit Valley. The sun was shining down on the green leaves and there were hardly any clouds in the sky! There was light wind blowing making the trees and bushes sway a little bit. All was peaceful and…
"Deemon! For the last time! We're not having this argument!" Houndmon said scratching his ear a bit. Now that all the Digimon have reach their next level, they were all arguing on who has the best and coolest Adult Digimon from. This argument has been going on ever since Sealmon Digi-volved. Deemon pointed a claw finger at Houndmon as yelled back,
"I don't care! We ARE having this argument and that's that!" The other Digimon groaned for they were getting tried of this argument, but Deemon did not seem to mind at all. He wanted to prove to the others that his Adult from is the greatest of them all. He slap his shinny head a few times before making his case, "Three reason why my Digimon from, Dracomon, is mega cool! First, I can fly!" He flap his arms around as he began to dash around the others in circle. He soon came to a stop and continue to say, "And flying at such great speeds is awesome! Next, I can breathe fire!" He stuck out his tongue and began to make waves of this tongue. His tongue almost look like flames, if the spit was not coming out in all different direction. He soon pull his tongue and patted his hands on his belly as he said, "My stomach is like my own personal oven. Finally, I'm super strong!" He made a funny pose to show off his so called muscles that he had, yet there was no muscles on his arms. Just scaly, skinny, arms that were making a pose as he added on, "And girls like boys who have strong muscles!" He wink at Lynxmon, who sighed but have him a weak smile.
"Okay," Caterpillarmon began nodding her head once, "I don't know about the other things, but I will agree that flying is, without a doubt, the greatest thing every!"
"Yup, yup!" Deemon said crossing his arms and giving his famous grin. She look up to the sky where a cloud that look like a butterfly was passing by.
"Being up there in the sky," she said in a dreamy tone, "Is so magical! When you look down at the trees and lakes, they all look like twigs and puddle from the sky. And when you go through a cloud you expect it to be fluffy like cotton, but it's not! It's like walking through a refreshing mist!"
"That is so right! It just feels so good one the wings!" Canarymon added clapping her wings together. Caterpillarmon smile as Canarymon, then look back at Deemon.
"Yet, when it comes to air combat, my Digimon from, Ulyssesmon, will win!"
"WHAT!" Deemon exclaimed tossing his hands to the side, "That…that cant' be! Dracomon is super strong and awesomely fast in the air!"
"That may be true," Caterpillarmon said pointing at stubby leg at him, "But Ulyssesmon is a tactical flier! She will be about to dodge you attacks without much trouble." She began to mover her body this way and that way, almost as if she was dodging some attacks. Deemon shook his head violently as if he could not believe this at all.
"But…but….what if I shot flames out of my mouth? How would you dodge that?" he quickly asked trying to through her a loop. He waved his fingers in front of his mouth, as if flames were coming out of his mouth right now.
"Simple," Caterpillarmon began looking straight at Deemon's flames, "I will fly up to the flames, as if I was going head on. Yet, at the last second, I will fly to the side and spin around the flames that was coming after me!" She began to spin her body around, as if she was doing what she was saying. Deemon was getting a bit frustrated now, for he was rubbing his finger on his smooth head and stomping foot on the ground.
"Well I think," Canarymon began looking at both her friends, "That my Digimon from, Phoenixmon, has a good mix of you twos strengths!" The two of the stop there so called fight and looked at Canarymon.
"What'cha talking about?" Deemon asked scratching the side of his cheek.
"Yeah!" Caterpillarmon added bending down her head to scratch her nose, "Explain to us why Phoenixmon is the perfect combination of our two strengths!"
"Well!" Canarymon began puffing her chest a little bit, "Phoenixmon can fly, that's a no brainer, yet I'm strong when I fighting in the air. I can launch attacks faster and more powerful when I'm in the air than on ground. Plus my attacks are fire, and you know how much fire can cause damage."
"True, true," Deemon agreed nodding his head to her.
"I'm also a great flier as well! I can fly left or go up or doing a dive, which is one of my favorite things to do. You shoot down at the ground as super fast speeds, coming closer and closer to the ground! Then, just as you think that you are going to hit the ground hard, you pull up just at the last minute! It's a good way to trick you foes!" She put her wing hands on her hips, as if she was a professional at doing dives. Caterpillarmon eyes widen when she heard her friend talk about dives so well.
"Wow," she began sounding really stun by what she said, "I could never do something like that. I might just hit the ground, if I do such a thing!"
"It may sound bad," the bird Digimon began patting her friend on her squishy head, "But once you get it down, it will become easy." Caterpillarmon was starting to agree with Canarymon, however Deemon was not convinced. He crosses his arms and said to the two of them,
"Yeah…those things are good and all, but what about awesomeness?"
"What about it?" Canarymon asked pulling her face in a little bit at the question.
"Don't get me wrong here," he began pointing a finger at the bird Digimon, "A giant flying fire bird is cool and all, but there just something about a flying dragon that makes it seem beyond cool!" He put on hand on his chin and look to the side. Deemon was trying to look cool in this position, and impressed the other as well. Canarymon and Caterpillarmon both looked at each other, then they started to giggle at Deemon's funny pose. Deemon put down his arms and looked at them, his mouth a bit open.
"Now just hold up a second here!" Lynxmon said. She pointed a claw finger at all of them and had one paw hand on her hip. "What about us non-flying Digimon? Digimon who cannot fly have just enough power and coolness as Digimon who can fly!"
"That's true! Take my Digimon from, Lupusmon, for example," Houndmon began to point out.
"Tell us about Lupusmon. I would like to know more about him, he does seem pretty cool and all," Canarymon asked. Houndmon blushed a little big as he began to scratch his ear. Still scratching his ear, the dog Digimon said,
"When I'm Lupusmon, everything about me goes up to the next level. My strength and speed all increase, but that's not all! My scent of smell goes up as well, so if Deemon over here breaks wind, I'll know about it easily!"
"Hey!" Deemon yelled but he could not help but put a grin on his face at Houndmon's little joke. Everyone laugh, which made Houndmon a little more conferrable.
"Also," he continue to say, "I'm also feel wild, but at the same time tamed."
"Can you explain that a little more?" Caterpillarmon asked tilting her body to the side. Houndmon cross his arms and began to wag his tail as he was thinking. Then, after much thinking, he finally said,
"It's kind of like this; I'm wild because I can sing to the moon, yet I'm tame because I can listen to others. I hope that makes things clear for you?"
"It does mutt. But that doesn't change the fact that you still try to chase your tail, no matter what from you're in!" Lynxmon added winking at him. The dog Digimon growled and was shaking a bit. He put a paw finger at her and yelled,
"First of all, don't' call me mutt! Second, have you ever tried chasing after this thing? It's probably the hardest thing to catch!" He pointed at his own tail, which was happily wagging form side to side. The cat Digimon just smirk at the dog Digimon's little temper. Then she lightly hit him on the arm and said,
"Take it easy, mutt. I was only playing around with you, that' all. Lighten up."
"Oh…Okay," Houndmon began looking a way, "But will you please stop calling me mutt!"
"Anyway," Lynxmon began to say not paying any attention to Houndmon's angry, "If we're on the subject of best ground Digimon among us, then my Digimon from, Spinxmon, is the best hands down!" The bird Digimon nodded her head as her eyes widen.
"I have to agree with you on that," Canarymon began looking right at Lynxmon, "Spinxmon is really cool and graceful." The cat Digimon gave her a grin as she cross her arms.
"Yeah, but can you give us some reason why she's cool and all?" the dog Digimon asked as he began to scratch his shoulder a bit, for a flea was bother him a bit.
"Simply, my find mutt," she began pointing a claw finger at him. Houndmon growled at being call a mutt once more, but he let it go. "Spinxmon is very quick on her feet, but also very powerful as well! That's something you don't see too often. Plus, I go well with the night life but still me underneath. I can be deadly and cunning, but at the same time I can be caring to other as well. It all depends on how you look at me." The worm Digimon shivered a little bit at what Lynxmon had to say.
"You make really good points there!" she began when she stop shivering, "Spinxmon is cool, but you gave me Goosebumps when you were talking about her!" Lynxmon smile apologetically and said,
"I didn't mean to scare you like that, just getting into the mood." Caterpillarmon nodded and understood. Lynxmon was just passionate about her Adult from.
"And also," Deemon said dreamily as he stared at Lynxmon, "Spinxmon has a very fine looking b…"
"Pick that last word carefully, for it may be your last word every!" Lynxmon threaded as she extended out her sharp and deadly looking claws. The little dragon Digimon gulped as he stared at the claws. Then, picking his words carefully, he continue to say, "Backside! That's right! Spinxmon has a very fine looking backside!" He grin at her in a cute way as she pull back her claws.
"Nice save back there," Houndmon whispered in Deemon's ear.
"Guys, guys! I think we're forgetting something right here!" Sealmon began rolling his head to side to side, "What about my Digimon from, Weddellmon, is a double whammy!" The other Digimon look at the seal Digimon and what he had just said.
"Okay…" Caterpillarmon asked slowly, "Explain why Weddellmon is this so called double whammy."
"Well, isn't it obvious?" Sealmon said sounding like this was so clear, "Weddellmon can be fight on both land and water. Two of the top three! In addition to that, no matter how many hit you through at him, he can take them and keep on fighting! How cool is that!" He slap the ground a few times as he grin at all of them. Lynxmon looked at the others and gave her famous smirk and said back to Sealmon,
"So, the reason why you can take all those attack is because of all the fat Weddellmon has on him?" Sealmon's face blushed a pink color, for he was taken about.
"It's not fat!" He yelled is face still pink, "It's called blubber!" The other Digimon began to giggle a little bit out the seal Digimon face. Canarymon walk over to Sealmon a patted on his back saying,
"Don't get upset Sealmon. We were only having a little fun, and you're not fat when you are in you Adult from." After hearing that, Sealmon soon join in with all the giggling as well. They may have had their different of opinions on who's Adult from is better, but they are still friends no matter what is said. As the Digimon were talking, the kids were right behind them listening to their conversation. Emily was giggling a lot, for she was listening to the Digimon's conversations.
"What're you laughing at, Sunshine?" Iris asked with her hands behind her head. Emily stop he giggling for a moment and pointed at the Digimon.
"I'm laughing at the conversation that our Digimon are having," she said with a small smile.
"Yeah, I guess it is kind of funny when you look at it," May added as she change the weight of her computer bag. Nate looked at her and asked,
"What do you mean by that?" He was wondering what makes this conversation that their Digimon were having so funny.
"Well," May began holding out her hand, "Have you ever boost about something to your friends about how good you are at something. And once they hear that, they try to boost as well?"
"Yeah, my brother and his friends do that all the time," Nate answered rubbing his nose a bit. May grin a little bit before giving her response to him,
"Well even though they're not human, our Digimon boost like real human beings!" Nate soon nod his head a few times, for now he understand why they were laughing.
"Our Digimon keep on surprising us more and more," Kenta said, his hands in his pockets once more.
"Yeah! Digimon are amazing and awesome creatures," Jake began, fixing his goggles a bit, "But out of all the Digimon, Dracomon is by far the coolest!"
"WHAT!" Kenta suddenly shouted, pulling out his hands out of his pockets. He pointed a finger right at Jake and continue to say, "Pardon me, but Lupusmon is why better than your dragon any day!" Jake shook his head violently and argued,
"Na un! Dracomon is the coolest of them all!"
No! Lupusmon!"
"Dracomon!"
"LUPUSMON!"
"DRACOMON!"
"Somebody change the subject before they start kill each other!" Iris said, watching this argument going back and forth. Emily was about so say something to stop this argument, when he smelled something. She sniff the air a few times before saying,
"Do you guys smell that?"
"Smell what?" Kenta asked breaking away from the argument. Emily move around the place a little, still sniffing the air, as she continue to say,
"That smell! It smells so familiar." Soon everyone began to sniff the air, trying to figure out what the smell that Emily was talking about. Iris look over at Jake and soon covered her nose a bit.
"Hey! I didn't do anything!" he yelled putting both hands on his chest. Iris uncovered her nose, but still gave him a dirty look.
"I know what it is now!" Emily suddenly said with a snap of her fingers, "It's baby powder!"
"Baby powder?" Both the humans and Digimon said together. She nodded her head and she continue to say,
"Yeah, I know that smell easily. I use to help my Aunt change my cousin all the time when I was over at her place!"
"But why will there be baby powder in a place like this?" Kenta asked rubbing his chin.
"There is only one way to find out!" Jake suddenly said excitedly as he clap his hands together. "Witch way is the smell coming from Emily?" Emily pointed to a direction and Jake was off, with the little dragon Digimon running right beside him!
"Looks like we're off another exploration of Gigabit Valley…again," May said fallowing Jake behind. Soon all the children began to fallow Jake into the woods, not knowing that they will learn more about Digimon on this adventure.
"What in the world….is this place!" Kenta said slowly. They had all stop and were staring out at the most weird place they have ever seen. The place look like a granitic play room for young children. All around them there were toys and huge stuff animals of every kind, and by the looks of things it was a mess. The ground and even the hills that around the area were a plaid green color, and a pure white river were flowing down one of hills and down into their area. In the middle of all of this was an old wooden mansion that look like it was built a long time ago, but still is standing today. Surrounding, not only the house, but the whole place were strange looking eggs that were a lot bigger than anyone else had ever seen! Each egg was different, some had dots on them others had strips, and a few of them even had hearts on them as well! The kids and their Digimon all started at this wonderland of Gigabit Valley. Iris rubbed her eyes a bit before saying,
"This place is hurting my eyes!"
"What is this place?" May ask taking a step forward. She sank down a little bit, for the ground was so soft and squishy that you can bounce on it. Seeing this, Jake took a few steps back away from the place. Then, with Deemon running behind him, he ran up to the place and jump onto the ground. He bounce high into the air, just above the trees, and was laughing all the way!
"It's like jumping on the bed!" Jake yelled as he slowly came down to the ground, "But ten times more fun!" He bounce again into the air, with Deemon flapping his wings as he pretended to be his Adult from.
"That looks like fun! I want to try!" Emily said all excitedly and she jump onto the ground. Soon all the Digimon and the kids were jumping on this strange ground, all except for Kenta and Nate. Kenta was shaking his head and saying to himself,
"Such childish actions."
"I'm not going to bounce around there," Nate began digging around in his bag. Kenta grin at Nate, for someone was thinking like him. "At least not without the proper head gear!" With that he slap on his helmet and join in with the bouncing. Kenta sigh deeply as an annoyed look appear on his face. He slowly walk over to the other and the soft squishy ground.
"I'm flying!" Canarymon said flapping her wings.
"I'm soaring!" Caterpillarmon added flipping in mid air.
"I'm super Deemon!" the little dragon Digimon yelled, hold both his arms out in front of him. Emily notice the sour look on Kenta face. That was a normal look for Kenta when he does not like what is going on.
"Kenta? Why aren't you joining in the fun?" she said as fell down to the ground. Kenta cross his hands as he said to all of them,
"It's just too childish for me, okay."
"Too childish!" Jake yelled as he stop on the ground, "How do you know it's childish if you haven't done it?" Kenta did not say anything, but gave Jake a look. Then Iris snap her fingers and gave Jake her famous smirk. Jake got the message, and gave his famous grin back at her. Soon the two of them march over to Kenta and grab his arms. Kenta was caught off guard by this. He quickly look at both of them and asked,
"What are you…." Yet before he could finish, they both toss Kenta straight forward. He went flying a bit, until he hit the ground and went flying up. At first there was a scared look on his face as he went up, but soon a smile appeared a laugher was coming out of his mouth. He bounce a few times on the ground before he came to a stop. The smile was still on his face as everyone came over to see if he was okay. When everyone was there, he quickly look away to hid his smile. "Okay…that was a little fun," he said turning his head a bit to the side to show everyone a bit of his smile. Jake and Iris both gave their famous smiles as the other pick Kenta up.
"Hey everyone check this out!" Houndmon called out to them. They all turn to look to see Houndmon and Sealmon near the white river. The group all quickly move to the river, and saw Sealmon drinking from the white water.
"Hey! You don't know if that's water is good to drink or not!" Nate quickly pointed out jabbing a finger at the white water. Sealmon left up his head, and there was a dreamy look on his face, almost like he was going to fall asleep any time.
"It's not water," Houndmon explained, "It's warm milk!"
"Warm Milk?" the kids all said together. Lynxmon bend down and took a few licks for the white water. She left herself up and wipe her mouth saying,
"He's right, this is a river a warm milk!" May scratched her head a bit as she look over the place.
"Soft ground, bit stuff animals, warm milk river, eggs everywhere? What is this place?" she ask the others. None of them could answer her question, for they had no idea as well. Jake had his hands behind his head and was walking backwards saying,
"Well maybe we should check out that mansion. Maybe it has…." But before he could finish, he trip over something. He fell backwards and landed on the soft ground. He was not hurt, thanks to the ground, but he looked very worried at what he trip over. It was one of the eggs, an orange strip one, and it was cracking all over. Emily was the first to gasp saying,
"Oh…my…God! You broke the egg!" Jake quickly dash to his feet and grab the egg.
"I… I didn't mean it! It…it was an accident honestly!" he said quickly as he pick up the egg. He was hoping to find some way of fixing the egg. More cracks began to appear on the egg, making Jake feel even worst. Then all of a sudden, there was a small explosion and something pop out of the egg. It was some kind of black little slim with big yellow eyes. All the girls, including Iris, awed at the little slime thing, who was looking all around the place.
"What is it?" Nate said getting a little closer to the slime thing. As he got closer, the slime thing got scared and shot bubbles out from where its mouth was to be. Nate step back, as the bubbles pop in his face.
"It's a baby Digimon," Caterpillarmon said, as if this was obvious to see.
"A baby Digimon," Jake repeated back looking down at the black slime Digimon. Canarymon suddenly clap her wings and realized something.
"I think I know where we are!" she began turning to the other Digimon, "I think we all stumbled to a place where Digimon are born!"
"Initium Village!" all of them finished together. The kids all look at their Digimon for a moment. Kenta was the first to break the silent by pointing at the baby Digimon and asking,
"So…let me get this straight, Initium Village is where all Digimon are born?"
"Yup!" Sealmon said giving them all his silly smile.
"So Digimon are born out of eggs?" Jake asked holding up the baby Digimon.
"Yeah," Lynxmon said, crossing her arms, "That's true. So how are humans are born? Is it the same way?" The kids all look at each other, for a question like that did go through their minds a few times before.
"Hey! Don't look at me, I hardly understand most thing," Jake said shaking his head.
"When every I ask my brother, he start blushing and says that I will have to wait and see. I still don't know what he means by that!" Emily said titling her head to one side.
"When I ask my mom, she got all embarrassed and changed the subject. Is it such a bad topic to talk about?" Iris said crossing her arms.
"My parent block all those sites on my computer, so I have no idea how babies are born," May said a little disappointed as she tap her bag.
"No one in my house want to talk about it! Says it's some kind of mature thing," Nate added rubbing his nose a bit.
"Sensei says I'm not allowed to learn about this until I turn 18," Kenta finished crossing his arms in front of him. The Digimon all look at each other, and drop the subject for now.
"So what are we going to do with the little guy?" Lynxmon asked pointing a claw finger at the baby Digimon, who was still looking around.
"Drop the Baby, you villains!" A strong female voice shouted to them. Sealmon shrugged his shoulders and asked,
"Yeah sure, but where?" Just then a white feather come out of nowhere and landed right in front of them. The kids and their Digimon all panic and step away from the feather a bit, and the baby Digimon was shaking for it was scared. There soaring down to them, we a huge white swan. This swan was a lot different that any swan the kids have ever seen, for it had sliver armor on its chest, head, and feet. There was an angry look in this bird Digimon eyes as she look at all of them coldly.
"Who's that Digimon?" Emily asked pulling out her Digi-vice to see the Digimon was.
Name: Swanmon
Type: Bird
Level: Adult
Special Attacks: Feather Tornado, White Wing Flapping.
Info: Swanmon is a very good caretaker of Baby Digimon, so she is very good with children. If the baby Digimon feel as if they are in danger, she will not hesitate to attack. Her beauty is match to her protective instincts.
Swanmon pointed a feather finger at them and said,
"Put the baby Digimon down now! I don't want to upset the other babies!" The kids and their Digimon all looked around and saw more baby Digimon, of all different kinds, crawl up behind Swanmon. Jake slowly put down the baby Digimon on the soft ground. As soon as the Digimon was on the ground, it jump out of the egg and crawled over to the others. Once the baby Digimon was safe with its friends, Swanmon continue to say, "Now leave her at once or, so help me, I will make you get out!"
"Look! We didn't mean to honest!" Nate began holding up his hands, "We were just….um….curious about this place and wanted know more."
"Liar!" the Bird Digimon yelled, makings some of the babies tremble, "You just wanted to come to this village and steal one of the Digi-eggs, and use that Digimon for your own twisted game!" Swanmon did not like the kids that much, for there was a great tension in the air. Iris step forward and pointed at finger at Swanmon.
"Listen, you overgrown feather duster!" she began.
"Iris! Don't make the giant swan that can toss feathers mad!" Jake said trying to claim Iris down. Yet she was not listening to him at all.
"We came here because we were curious, that's all. And if anyone is to accusing it would be you! You're the one who attack us for no reason, just because we had a Digimon hatch in front of us! What's your problem Mom?" The kids and their Digimon all stared at Iris for calling Swanmon 'mom.'
"Why did you call her Mom, Iris?" Emily asked as she scratch her head. Iris ran her finger through her hair as a surprised look was on her face.
"To be honest, I don't know," she began looking down. She look back up and continue to say, "I guess she kind of reminds me of my own mom."
"White Wing Flapping!" A powerful gust of wind suddenly came out the kids and their Digimon. They held up their hands to block the wind and try to get a good hold with their feet, but the ground was just a bit slippery for them to hold on more. They slowly look up to see Swanmon flapping her wings at them, and the gust of wind was coming from. Houndmon was flying backwards, when Kenta caught him.
"Hang on everyone!" he shouted as he held tightly to the dog Digimon. The baby Digimon watch as the kids and their Digimon were slowly being blow away. Then, the baby Digimon that hatch in Jake's arms, began to cry. Then another one cried, and another, and another, and soon all the Baby Digimon were crying! Swanmon could not hear the baby Digimon crying, for she was so forces on getting this strangers out of the village. Then a wise, old voice, reach her ears saying,
"Swanmon, stop this at once!" When she heard this voice, Swanmon quickly stop flapping her wings. Soon the wind died down, but the kids and their Digimon were on the ground. They were panting and there were a bit sweaty as well, for they tried their best to hold back against the gust of wind. They looked up and saw Swanmon bowing her head in shame at a very old looking Digimon. This older looking Digimon looked almost human, if its skin was not a faded sliver color. Its gray hair was long enough to reach down its back and over his eyes, yet his eyes pop out of his hair and were beetle back color. It wore only a faded tan long pants with black suspenders and blue slippers. It seem to be slouching forward a bit, and its needs were bent a bit as well. Swanmon gulp before saying,
"Sorry….Master."
"It's alright, it's alright," the elderly Digimon said patting Swanmon on the shoulder. She slowly raise up as he continue, "I know you were just protecting the young ones, but next time don't be to ruff. The young ones can be easily scared."
"Yes Master." Swanmon answered with small smile. Then the elderly Digimon notice the kids and their Digimon. He squinted a bit, trying to get a better look at them, but it was hard on his old eyes. He reached into his pocket and pull out a small pair of spectacles and place them over his eyes. His eyes widen as he saw the kid's Digimon standing there.
"Bless my Data!" he said in an excited tone. Soon he shuffled over to them to get a better look at them. As he got closer, the smell of moth balls became stronger on him. Then he stop in front of Deemon and Sealmon and stood there for a moment. The two Digimon started up at him, not knowing what this elderly Digimon would do. Then, quick as a flash, the elderly Digimon pitch both their cheeks and a happy grin appeared on his face. "Look at you two!" he said sharking their cheeks and pitching them a bit harder, "I've haven't seen you two in years! I remember you being such a trouble maker! Always climbing up these block and diving in to the river of warm milk! Nearly gave me a heart attack a few times!" Sealmon look to the warm river of milk and smile a little bit. It does sound like something he would do. "And you," he said looking at Deemon, "Always so playful, but fair to the other young ones. Always getting into huge games that would last the whole day. Did you tired me out on those days!" Deemon was not looking at him, rather he was looking at how tightly his pitch was on his cheek. Soon the elderly Digimon took his hands off their cheeks and cross his arms. Both Digimon rub the cheeks, making sure that they could feel their again. "My," the elderly Digimon began once more, "You two have gotten a little chubby after all these years."
"CHUBBY!" both of them yelled their eyes widen at what they heard. They both started to pitch the fat that was on their bodies, as the elderly Digimon went to Houndmon and Lynxmon. Houndmon just stared at the elderly Digimon as he shuffled forward to them, and Lynxmon had her claw out, she did not want to be pinch on the cheek like the other two. When the elderly Digimon was right in front of them, he reached out and scratch behind both their ears. Lynxmon purred little bit and Houndmon had a very dreamy look on his face.
"And you two," he said still scratching their ears, "You two changed a lot, but I can tell it's you! Yes sir! You two were inseparable with each other." Both of them stop their purring and or dreamy look and shot a quite look at the elderly Digimon. These two never got along with each other, and this old Digimon told they were inseparable! "Yup!" the elderly Digimon continued putting his hands on his chest, "You with your friendly nature," Houndmon raised an eyebrow, "And you, with your passion and love for your friends," Lynxmon scoff at this but she did not turn away. "Yes, you two were like brother and sister!" With that, he shuffled off to the last pair of Digimon. Both of them looked at each other, with a disgusted look on their faces.
"Let's never speak of this again!" Lynxmon said pointing a finger at Houndmon.
"Agreed!" Houndmon quickly added nodding his head. The elderly Digimon finally made his way over to Canarymon and Caterpillarmon. At first they were afraid of this Digimon, for he knew so much about each and every one of them. Yet, as he got closer to them, they saw a friendly appearance to him and that he would not hurt them at all. When he was there in front of them, he patted their heads softly and said,
"And you two, were always full of life! You always wanted to fly so badly, to touch the sky! A very good dreamers you are," Caterpillarmon blushed as he patted her squeeze head, "And you always should so much kindness to others. You even help her fly for a moment or two. That nearly gave me a heart attack as well!" Canarymon put her wing hand in front of her and blushed sheepishly.
"Aw…thanks, that's nice to say about me," she said with a little grin.
"Yeah, you know so much about us, and we know little about you!" Caterpillarmon finished looking up the elderly Digimon small black eyes. Jake smile at the elderly Digimon as he stop patting the Digimon's heads.
"You know what," he began turning to his friends, "This old Digimon kind of reminds me of my grandpa back home."
"I know what you mean," Emily added staring at the old Digimon, "He has the same friendly personality as my grandfather. He even smells like him as well."
"You guys are not going to believe what I found out about this Digimon!" May said, for she had already pulled out her Digi-vice and scan the elderly Digimon. They all looked over May's head and read the information about this Digimon.
Name: Grandpamon
Type: Human
Level: Perfect
Special Attacks: Moth Ball Bombs, Hurricane Touch.
Info: Grandpamon is one of the oldest Digimon in the Digital world. He was very wise and caring, and will help anyone out no matter what it may be. He is also the Guardian of Initium Village.
The kids all stared at the information that was given about Grandpamon. They were all looking at the Level part, Perfect. They have never seen a Digimon that was at the Perfect level before. Nate pointed at the word 'Perfect' and said slowly,
"You….you mean to tell me….that's there a level above Adult for Digimon!" No one said anything for a while, for that question was going through their minds. Kenta rub his eyes before saying,
"I guess, that's a Digimon's Ultimate level. They keep on getting more a more interesting as we learn about them."
"And what are you, strange creatures?" Grandpamon asked. He was standing right in front of them and had titled his head to one side as he looked at them. The kids jumped, for they were so into the data on him that they did not hear him come in. Once their hearts were back in their chests, Iris said to the elderly Digimon,
"We're humans…..Mr. Grandpamon….sir."
"Humans, hmmm," Grandpamon said softly. He rub his chin as he stared at the kids, for in his small eyes they could see something was going on in his mind. Then all of a sudden Swanmon appeared from behind and yelled,
"Well whatever you creatures are, get out of this Village! This place is baby Digimon to grow and mature, not some tourist trap!" The bird Digimon gave them a death stare that nearly frighten them. However, Iris was giving back the same stare back the bird Digimon.
"Now, now, Swanmon. These youngsters just go lost. They didn't mean any hurt to the babies," Grandpamon began wave a hand to the bird Digimon. Swanmon stop giving them the death stare, but cross her wings in front of her.
"Yeah!" Jake began, "It was just accident ended up here." The elderly Digimon laugh in his throat before saying,
"There you see, nothing to worry about. Now come, you strange creatures, let's go inside and have a cup of tea and talk. I have many questions to ask you."
"So do we! If you don't mind us asking," May suddenly said without thinking. Grandpamon chuckled lightly as he turn around and shuffled back to the wooden mansion. The kids and their Digimon all fallowed the elderly Digimon, and watch the baby Digimon, now playing outside. Swanmon was watching all the baby Digimon carefully, making sure no one got hurt. She did not see a black spot flying above her head and into the wood behind her.
You would think that a wooden mansion would be big and everything made out of wood. That is correct, everything is made out of wood in the mansion. Form the chairs, walls, stairs, and tables were made out of wood. However, the place was a complete mess! Toys of all different kind were laying around the floors and tables, empty bodies too cover some part of the place, there was also a strong smell of baby powder coming from this place as well. Baby Digimon were playing around everywhere, laughing and not having a care in the world. One of the baby Digimon, a white jellyfish with a face, was sliding down the rail of the staircase. It flew into the air and look like it was going to land in a pile of sharp looking toys. Emily and Canarymon gasped and were about to cover their eyes, when Grandpamon caught little Digimon. He chuckled lightly and he place the little Digimon down.
"Now, now," he began patting the squishy head of the Digimon, "Let's not have that, okay?" The baby Digimon giggled loudly as it crawled away and join back with its friends. The Elderly Digimon turn around to the kids and their Digimon and said, "Aw youth. Anyway, you can have a seat over there while I get some tea. Be back." With that he shuffle into one of the nearby rooms. They all turn around and looked at the chair that had so many toys on them. Nate sighed loudly as he said,
"This feels like I'm cleaning up from my older brother." So they began to chore of toss the toys over so they could sit down. There were a lot of toys, even on one chair. May toss a green squishy ball over her back and it caught Houndmon's eye. His eyes widen and his tail began to wag as the ball slowly came to a rolling stop.
"BALL!" Houndmon shouted as he jump to the ball. Within seconds, the ball was in his mouth and he was chewing on it, making squishy sounds coming out of the ball. Emily and Canarymon both clap there hand together as they watch Houndmon chew on the ball.
"That is so adorable Houndmon!" Canarymon said making Houndmon wag his tail. Kenta just raise an eyebrow as he watch his friend play with the rubber ball. Lynxmon shook her head with a smirk on her face.
"No self control, now do you mutt?" she said to Houndmon. Yet he was having too much fun with the rubber ball to say anything back. Just then Nate toss over a red ball of yawn and it was rolling right in front of Lynxmon. Her eyes widen and she could not resist. "BALL OF YAWN!" With that, she grab the ball of yawn and began to pat it back and forth, purring all the way. Iris rolled her eyes as she said,
"What about that self control you were talking about?" Once all the toys were off the chairs, and the Digimon had finish playing with the toys, they all sat down. The chairs all creek a little bit as they sat down, but they still held up. No sooner had they sat down, when Grandpamon change shuffling in with a tray of bluish yellow tea.
"I hope you all enjoy your tea," he said as he was handing the tea out. When he gave the last of the tea out, he sat down on an old looking rocking chair, which had no toys on it when the kids were clearing up. The old chair creek loudly as Grandpamon sat down, and began to rock back and forth. The kids and their Digimon all took a sip of the tea, and their faces contorted at the taste of the tea. It had a strong, sour taste and there was a hit of something else, something fruity. However, the elderly Digimon seem to be enjoy his tea unlike the others. He lower his cup and glace at all of their faces. "You don't like the tea?"
"No," Kenta said with a few cough, "It's good, it's just…we're not use to this kind of tea before, that's all!" The others nod their heads, going along with Kenta's little lie. Grandpamon grin at all of them and took another sip of his tea. Feeling easy about the tea, the kids and their Digimon felt more relax. Emily put down her cup on the table and asked,
"Do you take care of all this Digimon by yourself? If so, that's a huge job you have there! How do you survive?" Grandpamon chuckled in his throat as he put down his cup. They all like his laugh, it was a kind of laugh that only a grandparent would have.
"It's is a huge job, but I enjoy it," he said putting his hands in his lap, "It puts a smile in my heart to see a little one crack out of that egg, and look around the world for the first time. It also break my heart to see them go. But they are never really gone, for they are right here," he pointed at his head as he continue, "As long as I have the memories I have of them, then I can still be happy. But, over the years I need help. That's where Swanmon comes in, she's really good with the little ones yet need work on her people skills."
"I'll say," Iris said in to her tea trying to take another sip. Jake was playing around with his goggles, thinking. When all of a sudden something came to him.
"Hey old man," he asked the elderly Digimon. Grandpamon look at him as Jake continue to say, "Where do the eggs come from? Is there some kind a huge chicken that lays them, or is it a birds and bees kind of thing?"
"What do birds and bees have to do with making babies?" Sealmon asked his friends. Grandpamon lend back in his rocking chair and though about the question. He was tapping his finger on his lip, thinking how to answer this. After a while he answer Jake's question, by saying,
"That's a very good question you have there, young one. To answer that, I have tell more about what we are, us Digimon. You see, Digimon never truly die."
"WHAT?" they kids all shouted. They were stun, for they thought Digimon were normal creatures like themselves. However, this was different than what they can imagine.
"Yes," Grandpamon said with a nod, "When a Digimon dies, be if from old age, sickness, or losing a fight, their data gets transformed into an egg and end up here. It's kind of like…..starting new."
"You mean they almost reboot when they die?" May asked staring to get into this conversation. Caterpillarmon looked up at her, with a curious look on her face. "It means that, I have to start from scratch if my computer goes out. I have to retrieve all the data I've gather over the years back onto my computer. It's real pain," May answered, knowing what her partner was thinking. The elderly Digimon nod his head as he listen to what May had to say.
"That's really good, you have a good understand on how this works young one," he said, making May blush a bit. "Yes, Digimon can never die…..well in most cases," he quickly added the last part as he took a sip of his tea.
"Hang on for a moment," Iris began, "What do you mean, in most cases? Do you mean that there are Digimon who can't die, or can die and never get reborn?" Iris had brought up a goof point. Are there Digimon who were special that can cheat death? Grandpamon rub his nose and looked the other way. He had though no one had heard the last thing he said, but he was wrong.
"There are rare cases," he began trying to make things better, "But they are not that important." The kids wanted to know more, yet by the way Grandpamon was talking he would not continue the topic. So they asked a new question.
"Say," Nate began to ask, "What's with all these levels? Why are there so many different levels to Digimon."
"That, my young friend," the elderly Digimon began pointing at Nate, "Has to do with power and matures." Seeing the confuse looks on all their face, he answer there question by saying, "When a Digimon Digi-vole, they gain new powers and little bit more mature as well."
"We already get that, but can you tell us more?" Kenta asked, getting serious as he put his finger tip together. Grandpamon close his eyes and through hard on the question. More wrinkles appear on his face as he was thinking. Slowly opening his beetle black eyes, the elderly Digimon asked the question by saying,
"Let me start with the weakest one, and work up." With that he began to explain the different levels of Digimon. "I'll start with the baby Digimon. All Digimon start like this, very weak and childlike. They are very playful and curious about everything! Why I can tell you the stories of certain baby Digimon. Yet, because they're so weak, they need extra protection. That's where Swanmon comes in. She protects those Digimon with her life."
"Wow!" Emily said sounding amazed, "Swanmon sounds like a very protective parent, or nanny I should say. I can respect that."
"Well I can't!" Iris scoff trying her head to the said, "Attack us with feathers just because we didn't have a reason for coming her sucks!" She was still mad at Swanmon for overreacting like she did.
"Don't' blame her," Grandpamon began waving a hand, "She just does what she loves, that's all." Iris looked down at her partner, and scratch her behind the ear. Lynxmon purred as the Elderly Digimon continue to say, "As the baby Digimon gets older, it Digi-voles to the child level. To me, the Child level is a very wonderful time! You're still getting stronger and maturing, but you develop more of a personality in this level. Digimon at the Child tend to grow at their own pace. Some going to the next level, and other going back to the previous level, if they over work themselves."
"That makes senses," Kenta began, "If anyone, Digimon or human, pushes themselves to hard, it can hurt their body." Jake nodded at what Kenta said.
"That's a good way to example it," he began, "It's the same thing with soccer and other spots." Grandpamon nodded his head as the two of them agreed on something.
"That's good! You're starting to get it." He said with a small grin, "Next is the Adult level. You see a lot of Digimon at the Adult level, and it amazes me at some of the Adult forms I see. Some Digimon can go the Adult level, and others can't. In this level, they can still have their own personality, but sometimes they might have more a of wild personality as well. This is mostly seen in animal base Digimon."
"I see, I see," May said. She had somehow pulled out her computer and started tying what Grandpamon was saying. This was helping her greatly to understand Digimon. "Now what about this Ultimate from Digimon have?" The Elderly Digimon cough and took a sip of his tea before saying,
"You mean Perfect level." May quickly nodded her head, correct what she wrote on her laptop. "The Perfect level is a very hard to get to for a Digimon. Some spent their whole lives trying to get to that level, but end up back as an egg. Sad, I know. In this level your personality changes the most. In this level, you know yourself better than before. And you power, OH, you power goes up to the top! Only another Digimon at the same level can beat the Perfect level, unless it's like 6 or 7 Adult against one Perfect Digimon. Then you could win." The kids were all silent as they knowledge of what Grandpamon had just said to them. They all look down at their little partners. These little guys, were very powerful and are still growing too!
"Digimon are cool!" Nate finally said patting Sealmon on the head.
"Thanks for saying that," Houndmon said, with a wag of his tail. By this time, the tea had just about cold down, but none of them wanted to drink anymore of it. As the Elderly Digimon began to take a sip of his team, Emily ask a question that pop into her head,
"Say, we've been traveling a lot in this valley, and see and meet many things. But we keep on bumping into one major thing." Grandpamon raise an eyebrow as Emily added, "So what I'm saying is, do you know anything about these Black Spots?" This was a good question to ask. For those Black Spots were appear a lot since they got to this valley. As soon as Emily mention the Black Spots, Grandpamon coked on his tea. He cough loudly as his eyes budge out a bit. "Oh my God!" Emily said quickly putting her hand to her mouth, "Are you okay?"
"I'm *cough* fine *cough, cough*," The elderly Digimon said between coughs. He place his tea on the table, as he cough some more. He place a hand on his chest, as he cough a few more times. None of them said anything, all they did was listen to him cough. Kenta was the one that broke the silent by saying,
"You know something, don't you." Everyone looked at him, but did not give him a cold look. Rather, a look of approval. They all look back at Grandpamon he stop coughing, but still had his hand on his chest. He glace at all of them, this time he was not going to fool them.
"The truth is…." He began, but suddenly there was a huge boom sounding coming outside. Soon a smile of burring feathers and wood began to fill the area. The kids and their Digimon all stood up suddenly when they heard the sound.
"What the hell is that Feather duster doing out there!" Iris asked. With that, the kids, their Digimon, and the Elderly Digimon all dash their way outside, wondering what was going on!
When everyone was outside, their eyes widen at the damage that was going on. Burned marks were everywhere on the squishy ground, and some were on fire as well. All the Baby Digimon were gather together, cowering in fear at the flames that had appeared. Swanmon was flying every which way, putting out the fires and finding more scared baby Digimon. They all stared at the horrible mess that was in front of them.
"What…happen…" Houndmon said slowly unsure on what was going on. Then they heard a loud, mad, laugher. They all turn and saw that it was a fire Digimon that was laughing. This Digimon look to be the same one the Jake and Deemon saw when they were at New Dataville. His hands were raise up in the air as he was laughing like a mad man, and on his chest was a Black Spot. It was that Black Spot that was making this Digimon go mad. After Swanmon put out another fire, she landed right in front of the fire Digimon. She glared at him as she said in a very serious voice,
"Meramon! What have gotten into you? You've always been a very peaceful Digimon, and would never attack Initium Village!" Continuing to laugh out loud, Meramon stared at Swanmon, his eyes budging out a bit, and said,
"Burn it all down!" The Bird Digimon growl loudly at Meramon's response. Without even thinking, she ran head on to the fire Digimon. Yet Meramon was on already creating a fire ball in the palm of his hand. The fire ball was the side of a volley ball, when he toss it at Swanmon. The fire ball came to Swanmon at great speeds, and was heading right for her. Swanmon dodge the fire just at the last second, but the fire ball hit her on the shoulder. She gasped in pain as she fell down to the soft ground. She grab her shoulder with her wing, to feel the burn mark that was on her shoulder, and hear Meramon laughing again.
"Oh that is it!" Iris said suddenly after seeing this. She pull out her Digi-vice and added, "I may not like that Feather Duster, but I can't stand seeing this!"
"I'm with you Iris!" Lynxmon added, extending her claws, "It's all those Black Spots fault!"
"Yeah! Truing good Digimon bad!" Emily said pulling out her Digi-vice as well, "That just makes me so mad!" She stomp her foot to the ground to show her anger.
"Don't worry," Canarymon said making fist out her wings, "We'll get that spot off him!"
"With all of us working together, we'll rip that spot off his chest for sure!" May added on, pulling out her Digi-vice. Caterpillarmon crawled up with the over, and had a determined look in her eyes.
"No one destroys this place, and gets away from it!" she said trying to sound brave. Nate pull out both his Digi-vice and helmet and said,
"We need to also watch out backs as we attack. Who knows what might happen!"
"Something dangerous and stupid, that's what's going to happen!" Sealmon added, in his usual funny tone. Houndmon glace over to his partner to see that he was pulling out his Digi-vice as well. He smiled as he said,
"Glad you can join the fight, Kenta."
"Yeah," Kenta said with a smile, "Maybe I'm starting lighten up a bit.
"Let's rip that spot right off him!" Deemon said excitedly as he slap his head. Jake gave his famous grin as he pull out his Digi-vice, toss it in the air, and caught it.
"You said it buddy!" he said holding out his Digi-vice, "Let's go!" Before any of them could move a muscle, Grandpamon rush pass them. For someone who normal moves slow, he move really fast. The next thing they knew, he was right next to Meramon, who was still laughing. The Elderly Digimon place his finger right on the Black Spot, and release his attack!
"Hurricane Touch!" Powerful winds for all over come to one spot, the Black Spot. Meramon stop his laughing and howled in pain, as the Black Spot rip from his body. Not only was the Black spot destroyed, but it also sent the fire Digimon backwards crashing into a few trees! Meramon lay there, under a broken tree, with his eyes rolling around in head. He slowly came back to his old self, and the first thing he said was,
"Why's the world spinning?" The kids and their Digimon all stood there, their mouths wide open. They could not believe the power that Grandpamon had within him! Jake's Digi-vice suddenly drop out of his hand and landed on Deemon's head.
"Ouch," Deemon said absentmindedly as he stared at Grandpamon, who was slowly stubbing backwards a bit.
"Master!" Swanmon yelled, getting herself up to help her master. When she was near her master, he began to chuckle a little bit.
"Not as young as I use to be," he said with a smile that you could not help but smile as well.
The sun was slowly setting at the village. Grandpamon, Swanmon, and all the baby Digimon were out to say goodbye to the kids and their Digimon. Jake grin at Grandpamon as he said,
"Way cool old man!" Grandpamon patting him on the head and return the grin.
"Are you sure you don't' need help fixing this place up?" Emily asked looking at the damage that Meramon had cause. Swanmon shook her head and said,
"Thanks but no thanks. The damages are not too bad, so they can be easily fixed. Plus I knew of a few Digimon who own me a few favors at New Dataville." She giggle lightly at all the 'help' she would get fixing up this place.
"Didn't' thought you have it in you, Feather Duster!" Iris said with a cocky smirk on her face. Swanmon pointed a feather finger at her, but said nothing.
"Thank you for everything," Kenta said with a bow, "Goodbye." With that, the kids and their Digimon waved goodbye to everyone at Initium Village. Most of the baby Digimon bounce up and down, to show their goodbye. Grandpamon looked up the sky, his eyes fading a bit here and there. He wanted to say something to the kids, but never had the chance. Then he said, in a low voice,
"Oh, KuroKasaimon. Why do you have to make such dangerous things." He was hoping that one of them would hear him, but they did not hear a word he just said.
