Chapter Fourteen The Smoker, the Angel, and the Balloon Tells the Truth
The white smoke was very thick, so it was hard to see who's hand that was out in front of the kids and their Digimon. The kids were on their knees, staring at the stranger's hand, while the Digimon were on the ground, hardly moving.
"Well come on!" the stranger said waving his arm to him, "Get up and come with me." The kids did not move, for they were still in shock in what just happen to them. Three Digimon, all with different powers, had come close to ending their lives. Not only that, but this Black Spear was a bit change as well. As long as this weapon was here, their Digimon could not Digi-vole to the next level. The hope was almost gone in them. However, the hope in the Digimon was not completely gone from. Houndmon slowly rose up from the ground, whimpering and shaking as he trudge to his partner.
"Got….to…..save…..Kenta…..and…..the others….from…." the dog Digimon began to say in a very weak and soft voice. However, he fell flat on his face before he could say another word. Kenta reached out, trying to bring his partner closer to him, but he was sore all over his body. His arms felt like led weights and he could hardly move them. It was not just Houndmon that was trying to get up, but the other Digimon as well. One by one they trying to get up, and one by one they fell to the ground. The kids all watch, as their stomach turn, as they saw their Digimon try to save them but failed in the end.
"Son of Bitch!" the stranger swore making a fist, "Those damn bastards did more of a number on them than they did on to you!" Then he pointed a finger at the kids and said once more, "Everyone listen. I want you all to pick up your Digimon, and I promise when we get out of here, I'll tell you all everything."
"E….ever…..everything?" May asked, her chest stung badly of pain form the attack that the Demon Digimon had used.
"Yes May, everything!" the stranger said, "It's hide time you all know the truth! Now quickly! This smoke wouldn't last long!" Something began to fill inside all the kids now, and it was hope. Hope that they were going to get out of this mess they were in, and hope they will learn the truth of why they are here. With that in mind, the kids found little strength and pick up their Digimon and themselves.
"Good! Good!" the stranger said giving them the thumbs up, "Now, hold hand to support yourselves and Jake grab onto mines." So Nate holding Sealmon grab hands with May who was holding her partner, the she grab hand to Kenta holding his dog Digimon, he soon grab Emily who was holding Canarymon tightly in her arms, with that she grab to Iris with her cat Digimon in her arms, and finally she grab Jake hand who was holding Deemon close to him. When they were all connect in a line, Jake grab the stranger's hand. Pulling them slowly so that they would not panic or get hurt more, the stranger slowly lead them away from the smoke and into the woods. As this was going on, Trickstermon and Tigerlillymon were coughing and looking around the place.
"I…*cough*…cant' see…..*cough, cough*…them!" the magician Digimon yelled as he cough.
"I know…*cough* …right! And this smoke….*cough* Smell like….*cough*….it came out of a….*cough*….dirty smoker's…..*cough* mouth!" the plant beast Digimon yelled as he put a hand over her mouth. Painmon, who just stood there, was not coughing at all. He seems to not be effected by the smoke in the area. With a wave of his arm, all the smoke was clear. The only left in the area was the Black Spear that was still stuck in the ground. Both Trickstermon and Tigerlillymon quickly looked around to fine the kids and their Digimon. Tigerlillymon growled loudly and she claw the nearby tree.
"I can't believe they got away!" she said with gritted teeth, the mark in the tree she had made looked very deep. Trickstermon made a fist with both his hands and added,
"What are we going to tell the Master now?!" Painmon simply treaded over to the Black Spear. With one great yank, he pull out the spear in one pull. Black electricity went up his body, but he felt no pain whatsoever. He turn around and began to tread back into the woods saying,
"We did what we were told. Nothing more now than go back to base and tell Lobemon and the Master what went down." The other two nodded their head and quickly hover and dash next to him. Carrying the Black Spear in his hand, the Crown Jewel and his Diamonds began to return to base.
"You think this will go to the Snow Globe head?" Trickstermon asked looking up at Painmon, with a grin on his face.
Every step that the kids took felt harder than the last one. Their whole bodies were thumbing with pain and it felt as if they were wearing heavy iron chains on all over their body. They breath deeply and try to swallow their pain going through their body as they continue to get away slowly. Their Digimon had their eyes close, not moving at all, however they could feel their breathing on their arms so that made them feel better. Now that they were out of the smoke, they had a better look at the Digimon who had come to their aid. He was a tall Digmon, the same height and built of an adult human, however his skin was a smoky gray color. His white shaggy hair was all untamed and stuck out in odd places, yet it almost looked natural sticking out like that, his eyes were a smoky gray color as well but they had genius look with a hit of angry within those eyes. His outfit were a very simple, a white lab coat with deep pockets and old brown pants that were rip up a bit and had a faded black belt around the waist. His cat like feet were furry just like a real cat, a lot like a lion, but was the same color as the rest of him, and sticking out on the back was a thin gray tail that had a small flame on the very tip of the end. He was still leading the kids and was walking backwards as well. Every now and then he would look back, as if he was looking for something, but he came right back and watch the kids carefully. To the kids, this strange Digimon was hard to tell, but as of right now they were glad he was about to get them out of there. Who knows what would have happen if he did not use that smoke. There was just one thing that they could not stand, he reeked from head to toe of tobacco. At first they all thought it was just the smoke he had used, but as they got further away and the wind was blowing on them, they soon found out it was him that smell horrible of tobacco. The smell made all their noses twitch and wanted to scratch them badly, but they did not for they did not want to break the chain that they on. The stranger Digimon gave them a weak smile and said, half joking,
"We sure got out of that mess in one piece, didn't we?" He chuckled once, but there was no response from any of them. They hardly knew this Digimon, and they only had one way to figure out more about him; their Digi-vices. Nate try to balance Sealmon in one hand, while he try to dig out his Digi-vice that was in his pocket with the other hand. Grabbing the Digi-vice was a little harder, for it kept on slipping out of Nate's sweating fingers. The stranger Digimon quickly notices this and said,
"Nate, if you wanted to know more about me, then let me show you myself." Nate, and the others, all blinked at him. They all had the same thought going through the heads,
"How does he keep knowing our names?" They all thought as he began to rummage around in his pocket with his free hand. He stuck out his tongue as he felt around in his pocket. After a moment or two he pull out, a carton of cigarettes? The kids mouths open a little bit, as the stranger groaned and put the carton back in his pocket. After another second or so, he pull out a sliver disk, that fit in the palm of his hand, with a red button in the center. The kids started at the slier disk, as the stranger press the red button. The kids eyes widen at what they saw, for a holographic image of the stranger Digimon pop up with all his info. It was almost as if he knew how their Digi-vice worked. His data read:
Name: Tabanmon
Type: Man/Beast
Level: Perfect
Special Attack: Escape Smoke
Info: Tabanmon is a very highly intelligent Digimon who is gifted with creating outstanding pieces of technology. He may have a lose his temper every now and then, but he quickly get over it at the right time. He also smokes too way too much and should give up smoking all together before it catches up to him!
"What the….! How did that get in there!" Tabanmon quickly said as he turn the image to him to read. He was a little red under his eyes, for angry was building up inside him. "She must have put that there," he said under his breath as he push the button again and put the disk in his pocket. "Ignore that last part! It's not true at all!" He pointed his free and at them when he said that part. For once, after their whole experience, the kids all smile and chuckle a little bit. Even though it hurt when they chuckle, it felt good to laugh. The laugher made them forget, even for a second, that they had face such a powerful enemies. That is the power of laughter, it makes you forget the bad things in life. Tabanmon sigh and looked up to the blue sky, there was a small smile on his face as he was looking up. "It's good that you all are laughing, even though it's not true!" Tabanmon glace back once more, and a grin pop on his face and he turn back.
"Good news everyone!" He said with a laugh and an expression of happiness, "We're just about there!" They all looked as he nodded to a boulder that was in the middle of the woods. They all gave him a questionable look after they saw the boulder. How could this boulder, that was in the middle of nowhere, be good news? Yet, after a second glace, their eyes widen for they saw a brown door with a golden knob on the boulder. Tabanmon continue to grin as he bounce his eyebrows up and down. The sight only made them more confused and wonder what was going on. Once there were near the bounder, the smoking Digimon let go of Jake's hand. The line of kids wobble a little bit, for they did not know how much support they had on him. Still grinning, Tabanmon put his hand on the door knob and open up the door. The kids all started, for they were half expecting to see part of the stone gray boulder. However, they saw in the doorway a dark blue world with white puff of smokes going around. Some of the smoke came out and touch the kids on the faces. The smoke was not smoke at all, rather it was some kind of mist. The wet mist felt refreshing tapping on their bodies, for they felt a little hot. It was a fog that were surrounding this strange area. Still holding the door, Tabanmon wave them in as a gentleman would, still having that grin on that his face. Continuing to hold hands and carrying their Digimon, the kids entered into this strange place. Tabanmon looked left, then right, then left again before entering himself and closing the door. When the door was close, it slowly began to fad until it was gone from sight. As if it was never there to begin with.
When they were all inside this strange room, the kids all let go of their hands. They still stung a little bit in pain, but they were able to keep on moving. This place, whatever it was, made them forget a bit about the pain that was around in their bodies. In some places, the fog was heavy and you could not see anything at all, in other places, there was no fog at all and there was nothing but endless blueness in this room. They were all looking around the place, wondering why they were here at all. May look down at the ground, curious of the ground she was on, and gasped a little bit.
"Um…everyone?" she asked very weakly. The kids all looked at her, wondering what she was so shocked about. May pointed down at the ground and added, "Look down here." Eyebrows raised, but they did what May said and look down at the ground. What they saw made them jump back a little bit. For what they were looking at was a bird eye view on themselves! They were looking down on the ground, and they saw the tops of their head and carrying their Digimon in their arms! Jake quickly nodded up and down, looking to see if he could see himself and his partner on the ceiling. However, there was no image of them on the ceiling, only on the ground that they stood. Iris began to circle around where she stood and asked,
"What is this place!?"
"Welcome to No Space." Tabanmon answered walking up to them. He had his hands behind his back and that grin of his was still pasted on his face. Emily hugged her bird Digimon tightly, for she was afraid, and asked,
"I don't understand. What's with this place?"
"Right then," the smoking Digimon said, clapping his hands together and rubbing them, "There's going to be a lot of explanation today so let's get started." He wave his hand, making some of the fog move away in his path, in and continue to say, "This place is kind like a pocket dimension of the Digital World. This place was created to confused villainess Digimon so they would get tried. But don't worry, I know this place like the back of my hand!" He straighten up a bit as he lightly chuckled a bit. He sounded proud of this No Space, as if he created it himself. Kenta glace down at his partner, who still had his eyes closed and not moving, then back at Tabanmon. Then he asked in a very serious tone,
"So where are we going to now? And it better be soon too!" Tabanmon began to open up his mouth to answer Kenta's question, when a smooth, kindly, voice shouted from one part of the thick fog,
"Tabanmon! Are you here? I heard the door close, and thought you need some help." Tabanmon groaned loudly as he slouch forward. He slap his hand over his face and slowly let if slide down his face saying,
"Great! I'm going to get an ear full from her now!" The kids all blinked at him a few time, but they eyes soon change when they saw whoever was coming out of the fog. Their eyes widen and sparkle at what came out of the fog. For dashing out of the fog was, and the kids had to look twice at this, a real live angel! The angel Digimon was beautifully built, just like a young women would in her early 20s or so. Her skin was a bit pale, but it was so beautiful as well, and her long golden hair ran down her back. A brown leather mask, with a cross etched in the center of it, were over her eyes so they could not see what color they were. She wore a white t-shirt with sliver cross on the front, a long sliver skirt that look like it was make of slink, and like brown boots that were made just for her. On her back were what makes an angel an angel, a pair of cloud white wings. Just seeing this angel Digimon seem to bring the kids sprits up a bit. The angel Digimon turn her head so that she was looking at the kids with their Digimon in their hands. She started at them for a long time, until she move her head to Tabanmon. The smoking Digimon was still slouching and was looking up at the corner of his eyes. He sigh lightly, for he knew what was coming.
"WHAT IN THE DIGITAL WORLD DID YOU DO!" she shouted waving her arms at Tabanmon. Tabanmon straighten and holding up one finger began to say,
"You see…"
"You were supposed to get sandwiches, but this is what you bring too!" the angel continue to yell as she pointed at the kids. The kids all blinked at Tabanmon as he groaned loudly and roll his eyes around. Then the angel Digimon quickly ran over to the kids to see if they were alright. One by one, she gently put her hand on the cheeks and then on their foreheads to see if they were okay. Jake and the other blushed when she put her hand on their face. For her hand felt smooth and conferrable on the hot skin. And the way she was look at them, for she was moving her head this way and that to see if they were okay, made them think she was some kind of mother looking after her own kids. When she came to Iris, she began to protest and say,
"No! No way are you…" Yet soon as the angel Digimon place her hands on her cheeks, Iris quickly quite down.
"You children must have head a rough time!" she said as she place her hand on Iris's forehead. Then the angel Digimon glace down as soon Lynxmon still past out on Iris's hands. The angel Digimon straighten herself up and clap her hand together near her mouth and said,
"And these brave young Digimon did everything they could to protect you." She quickly turn to the smoking Digimon and shot him a cold look and yelled, "How could you let this happen!"
"Now in my defense…" Tabanmon began holding up one finger, trying to explain himself.
"Oh never minded!" the angel Digimon said, putting a hand over her mask and shaking her head. She then twist around to face the kids again and held out her hands so that the palms were facing them.
"Healing Wave!" A wavy, sparkle, white light came out of the angel Digimon's hands and gently shine on the kids and their Digimon. The light felt so good on the kids as it hit them, it felt so warm and conferring, like coming in to a warm house after being out on a cold, snowy day. They also felt stronger too, the pain that was going through their bodies early suddenly vanish, and they felt back to normal again. The light had an effect on the their Digimon too, for the light was healing their wounds and bring back their strength. One by one, the Digimon began to open their eyes.
"Wow!" Sealmon began blinking and looking around No Space, "I feel….great!"
"Not just great," Deemon said jumping out of Jake's hand, "We all feel super great!" With that, they all jumped out of their partner's arms and began to laugh and smile with each other. It was almost as if they forgot what had just happen to them not too long ago with Painmon and the others. The kids all smile and felt pressure left away from them as they saw their Digimon back in action. However, that seeds of doubt within themselves. What if Tabanmon had not come and save them at the last second? Would they still be seeing their Digimon right now? The angel Digimon saw that look on their face and gave them a small smile.
"Don't worry about it kids," she said as she tilted her head to one side, "I healed them up nicely so you don't have to worry too much about them."
"You should listen to her," Tabanmon began, a cigarette glowing in his mouth bobbing up and down as he talk, "She knows what she's saying." The angel Digimon balled her fist as she spun around to face Tabanmon.
"You're smoking again!" she yelled pointing a finger at him. The smoking Digimon's eyes roll down to see the cigarette in his mouth, as if it was the first time he saw it at all.
"How did this get in there?" he asked point at the cigarette in his mouth.
"I know exactly how it got in there! How many times to I have to tell you; smoking is bad for you!" the angel Digimon yelled. And this is where the argument began.
"I can't help it, it's a habit of mine!"
"If it's a habit, then it can be break, and I'm going to be the one to break it!"
"I just can't quite cold turkey! Beside I don't make a big deal of it when you bit your nails!"
"I….I don't bit my nails!"
"Um…Yeah you do! I've seen you done it before!" As these two 'grown up' Digimon continue their argument, waving their fist in the air as they shout at each other, everyone else watch the show. They all move their heads from side to side as the argument change for person to person. Lynxmon pointed to them and asked,
"Are they some kind of married couple?"
"I don't know, but they sure acted like one," Nate answered crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Should be get more data on the Digimon that just heal us up, or just let them argue it all out until they are ready?" Emily asked biting her lip a bit, she hated seeing people fighting.
"I've got it," Jake said pulling out his Digi-vice as he scan the angel Digimon.
Name: Glorymon
Type: Holy Angel
Level: Perfect
Special Attack: Healing Wave.
Info: Glorymon is one of the most respect Digimon around. Her intelligent mind matches with her caring heart of her and she will do anything to help those she finds worthy. Once she gets into an argument, she will not stop!
"Wow! Brains, heart, and a spicy attuned," Sealmon said with a little smirk, "I'm starting to like Glorymon now." He bounce his eyebrows up and down to show how much he like Glorymon. Nate gave his partner a questionable look as he move his head away from his a bit. Tabanmon and Glorymon were still in their heated argument, neither side backing down. It would seem that the kids question will not be answered as long as these two were fighting with each other. So Kenta had to be the one to break them up. He cough loudly to try to get their attention, but that did not work for they still continue to argue with each other. He cough even louder now, starting to lose his temper as well, and they finally stop their arguing and glace at Kenta.
"If you two don't mind me asking," he began sounding claim and trying not to lose his temper, "What the heck is going on here?" Glorymon sigh deeply and stared at Kenta for a while.
"I guess, it is our duty, to tell them all about what is going on," she said looking at Tabanmon. The smoking Digimon blew smoke to the ground and added,
"And I did say we were going to tell them the truth when we get here."
"So we're here! What are you going to tell us?" Iris demanded putting her hand her hips and wanted for an answer. Both Tabanmon and Glorymon looked at each other and nodded.
"We'll tell you everything, but not here," she said turning around and being to walk off.
"So fallow us," he added walking behind her and holding his cigarette in one hand. Not having much of a choice, the kids and their Digimon all fallowed these two mysterious Digimon to get their question answered.
If it was not for the flame on Tabanmon's tail, it would have been really impossible for any of them to fallow these two Digimon. They seem to be going deeper and deeper within the fog itself, and it was also getting harder to see what was in front of them. Yet the glow of the flame that was on Tabanmon's tail led them where they need to go. The silence around them was starting to creep the kids and the Digimon out, so they began to ask the two Digimon question.
"So…Mr. Smoking Digmon sir," Deemon began putting his hand behind his head, "Where are we going, if you don't mind me asking." Tabanmon glace behind them, took a puff from his cigarette, blew it out, and answered,
"To our Lab."
"Your Lab?" Houndmon question back, this gave them more question than answers, "What do you mean?" Glorymon hear this and turn her head an answered,
"Well, to put it simply, we are going to our Lab where me and the smoking time bomb due our experiments. We're scientist."
"You two are Digimon scientist!" May exclaimed jumping on the ball her feet. She had never meet a real scientist before, nor have she meet a Digimon scientist either. Putting them together only made it more exciting.
"Yup," Tabanmon said, tapping the ashes of his cigarette to the ground as he smile, "We are scientist, inventors, and just testing the bounders of what can and cannot be done!" He smile as he took a puff on his cigarette. Glorymon nodded and smile, they both love their job for they are doing what they love.
"I would have never guess that you two were scientist," Lynxmon said, wave away the smoke that was coming on her.
"Then what did you think we were?" the angel Digimon asked as she flap her wings to blow away Tabanmon smoke. Lynxmon answered with a straight face,
"A fighting married couple." Glorymon put a hand over her mouth and lightly giggle a bit. She found this to be a little funny, but the corner of her mouth twitch a bit to hold in her true feelings. Tabanmon, on the other hand, cannot hold in his angry. The smoking Digimon began to shake as he made a fist in his hand. He was taking in deep puff from his cigarette and blew them out of the corner of his mouth. His face was turning a bit red, and then he yelled making his cigarette bounce up and down as he yelled.
"Son of a Bitch! I'm not married to her at all! I will admit she is my equal, but there is no way in hell that I would marry her! So get it through you damn skull that we may work together, and we do it greatly, but we are not, I repeat, NOT a married couple!" Lynxmon smiled weakly as she nodded her head to show that she agreed. Part of her found Tabanmon's burst of angry to be very funny, but most of her found it to be a bit scary. He was a 'ticking time bomb' ready to go off. Caterpillarmon blinked at the smoking Digimon as he slowly claim himself down. This angry that he was showing was somehow familiar to her, but where? Then the light bulb went off and she realized where she saw this kind of angry before! She straighten up on May's shoulder and pointed on of her little legs at Tabanmon and said,
"Hold on a second! You were the Digimon who paid for our meal back at that diner latter on toady!" They all looked at Tabanmon for a moment, and now that she mentioned it the smoking Digimon did have the same flame tail and angry personality as the stranger that paid for their meal. Glorymon turn her head and gave Tabanmon a questionable look.
"You…paid for their meal when they didn't have any money?" she asked titling her head a bit. The smoking Digimon flick his cigarette down stomped it out before saying,
"Well, yeah. They didn't have any money and they were about to wash dishes with that egg shell. What was I supposed to do?" He was rubbing his arm a bit bashfully as he was saying this. Canarymon clap her wings together and said,
"Aw! Under that angry structure lays a sweet Digimon." Tabanmon roll his eyes, but he grin at the remark that the bird Digimon gave her. Glorymon place a hand on his shoulder and added,
"Now if only we can keep him from stop smoking."
"WHAT!" The smoking Digimon yelled giving Glorymon a cold look. And once again the two Digimon were arguing once more. The kids and the Digimon sigh at the child like behavior these two where showing. Yet that did not last long, for they saw something emerging out of the fog. It looked like it was some kind of door, but it was a lot bigger than the door they had come through. Also, next to the door was an image of someone standing next to the door. The image looked to be of a bald man with his hand behind his head, waiting for someone. Houndmon pointed a paw finger at the image and asked,
"Um…Tabanmon, Glorymon, who's that and what's he doing?" The two of them stop their arguing and turn their head to what Houmdon was pointing at. As if he could hear them, the image began to walk up to them. As she made his way closer to them, the sound of something squeaking could be heard. Deemon and the other Digimon stood in front of their partners. They did not know who this Digimon was, but if it was looking for a fight the Digimon will do whatever it takes to protect their partners. The smoking Digimon and the angel Digimon stared as the figure came closer. They seem to be very claim about whoever was coming their way. Soon the figure emerged out of the fog to show that he was a very strange and rubbery Digimon that the kids have every say. This Digimon reminded the kids of one of those balloon animals they seen at a carnival. Its head was a round red balloon with small black round eyes, and a wide smile on its face. Its body was made out of a long red balloon, and its arms and legs were made up of small round balloons. It had four rubbery fingers on each hand, and small round rubbery feet. All and all this was a very funny looking Digimon. The rubber Digimon wave a squeaky arm and said, in a squeaky, with a grin on its face,
"Hi Ho everyone!" The kids and Digimon just blinked at the rubber Digimon as he still wave a hand at them. Tabanmon glace up and said, sounding bored,
"Hey, Blimpmon."
"Blimpmon?" Sealmon question, twisting his head to one side, "I was thinking he would be more a of Balloonmon than Blimpmon!"
"I agree with you on that," Nate said pulling out his Digi-vice and getting data on this new Digimon.
Name: Blimpmon
Type: Rubber
Level: Perfect
Special Attack: Body Inflate
Info: Blimpmon is a very strange Digimon. His rubber arms and legs can stretch for miles on end, and his body can inflate to great sizes with bursting. However, he is a real airhead and tends to lose attention quickly.
"So Blimpmon," Glorymon began crossing her arms and tapping her fingers on her arm, "Why are you out here and not in the lab? I told you we'll be right back."
"And I was waiting for the both of you, believe me!" Blimpmon said pointing his rubber finger at them, "But something came up. Something really important! So I came out here." The kids all tense up for a moment. What could be going on in the this lab that made this rubber Digimon come out? "But I forgot what it was when I came out of the lab," he finished with a weak grin on his face. The kids nearly fell on their faces when they heard that! How could this Digimon forget what he was doing, in such a short time! Tabanmon sigh loudly as he said,
"Can you say foreshadowing! And, this is just a wild guess, but you forgot the pass code to get back in the lab…again." Blimpmon rubber a finger on his smooth head and answered,
"You all know me too well. Hey!" he pointed at the kids and their Digimon and continue to say, "You brought the kids and their Digimon here!" And with that he dash over, making squeaking noises as he move, and began to rub the top of head of all the kids and the Digimon. As he rub the head and pull his hand away, it left their hair, fur, and feathers, go all frizzy out in all kind of places. The smoking Digimon chuckled lightly and the angel Digimon smile as she punch in the pass code. Iris began to press down her frizzy hair and said,
"Please tell me he's not a Digimon scientist as well."
"No, he's more of an intern that works for us. He's not so bad to work with," Glorymon said and she strengthen up from typing the pass code.
"Cool!" Blimpmon said, eyes widening, as the doo began to slowing slide open to show them a well light room with flashing lights inside.
"Must you do that every time!" Tabanmon questioned looking at the rubber Digimon. But the rubber Digimon was already inside along with Glorymon, who enter as well. So the smoking Digimon crack his knuckles and entered the new room. Taking a deep breath, the kids all walking into this new room, not knowing what they will soon learn from all of this.
The kids and their Digimon's eyes widen at the wonder of this lab that these three Digimon ran. This lab was a cross between a normal lab and an amazement park all wrap into one area. Light flash in front of their faces, gears grinding came across their ears, and the smell of strange chemicals fill their noses and made them itch a bit. This lab look like a place where imagination becomes reality!
"Welcome to the Laboratory of Wonder!" Tabanmon announce raising his hand in the air. He sounded incredibly proud of all the invention that were going around the place. Blimpmon chuckled out loud and said,
"You love doing that, don't you?"
"Hell yeah!" the smoking Digimon answered putting his hand behind his back. He face the lab and close his eyes and continue to say, "Don't touch anything. I know everything looks like fun, and it is, but we have a lot to do. All we have to do is go through the lab and into one of the green rooms we have on the other side. Is that…where the hell are they!" Tabanmon open his eyes and turn around to see only Glorymon and Blimpmon standing there. The kids and their Digimon all had ran off to explore the lab already. The angel Digimon smile at him and answered,
"They burst out of here just after you said don't touch anything. Aren't they cute!" Tabanmon did not find this cute at all! He turn around and saw the kids and their Digimon going around and touching everything in the lab. Jake and Deemon had both spotted black leather chain and jump right into them. The chairs felt so comfortable that they felt their muscles relax as they fell in the chairs. Jake notice that there was some buttons on the arm on the chair, so out of curiosity, he push one of them and Deemon push one as well. The chair began to vibrate and massage every part of their body. Deemon stuck out his tongue as he felt his body melt away. Jake close his eyes as he was enjoying this massage chair, for this is what he need right now. Without even looking he pressed another button on the arm of a chair, and a glass of red fruit punch with a little umbrella pop out of the other arm of the chair.
"This is amazing!" Jake said in a vibrated voice and he took the glass and sip it a bit. As Jake and Deemon were enjoy themselves, Iris, Nate and their partners had found something more fun. They had found a huge glass some with four mental pillars on each end. However, when Iris, Nate and their Digimon entered into doom, they suddenly floated up into the air! There was no gravity within this doom and anyone who entered inside became weightless! Iris laugh a bit as she floated and put her hands behind her head as watched Lynxmon doing back flip in the air. Nate was floundering his arms and legs in the air, he was trying to get his hand on his helmet that was floating away from him. And Sealmon was flapping his arms as he was floating in the air yelling,
"I can fly!" As Iris and the others were floating around, Kenta and Emily were having their own fun. Among all the curiosity of all the buttons, Emily push one of the flashing red buttons. As soon as Emily had push the button, giant bubbles the side of the kids, came popping out of one of the machine. Houndmon began to sniff at one of the bubbles, curious at what they smell like, and Canarymon flew up above the bubbles to get a better view of them. When Canarymon try to land on one of the jumbo bubbles, she bounce higher into the air as the bubble stay in tack. Houndmon wag his tail as he saw Canarymon bouncing bubbles giggling all the way. Then the dog Digimon could not take this anymore, and so he jump on one of the bubbles and bounce along with Canarymon. The bird and dog Digimon both laugh as they were bouncing around. Emily smile at the Digimon who were having ton of fun on the bubbles, but then she looked at Kenta. Once again Kenta had cross his arms in front of his chest and giving the bubbles a 'this is too childish' look. Emily frown at Kenta, until an idea pop into her head. She slowly creep up behind Kenta as he was not looking. Then, when she was right next to him, Emily push Kenta into one of the bubbles! Kenta went flipping into the air when he hit the bubble. Everything was spinning in front of him as he came down to another bubble. As he came falling down to another bubble, something happen to him. Kenta laughing! He was laughing as he was bouncing on the bubbles!
"I'll take it back!" he said bouncing on another bubble, "This isn't too childish!" Emily cheered as she jump in and join the fun. As the others where enjoy their fun, May and Caterpillarmon had found something truly amazing. May slowly step to an enormous flat screen, holographic keyboard, supercomputer! Her mouth was open as a stun look pour onto her face. The worm Digimon wipe some of the drool that was on the counter of May's mouth. With trembling hands, May slowly reach out and press one of the buttons. She did not really press the button, rather the holographic button felt her fingers and the super computer turn on. Data on Digimon, projects, and other secret information pass over the screen and in front of May's face. Caterpillarmon glace at May to see that she was in her own little world now.
"This is….magnificent! I've never seen anything like this before in my life!" May said under her breath. As the kids and their Digimon were enjoy their time in the lab, the three Digimon that brought them here were all watching them. Blimpmon chuckled as he saw the everyone have so much fun.
"They sure are having the time of their lives!" he said watching Kenta bounce higher.
"They need something like this," Glorymon began, watching all of them and having her hand behind her back. "Suddenly being taken out of their world and coming to a new world, trying to understand the culture and the creatures that live in this world, trying to get along with each other, for they all have different stories and personalities, and now facing a powerful enemy that they have no idea to stop. It's a lot for them, but we have to remember that they are just children." Blimpmon nodded, for her words were true. They were just kids, but they have the weight of a world on their shoulders. It was just nice for them to just, lay back, let loss and just be a kid. The rubber Digimon then turn to Tabanmon to see how he was taking in with all of his. Blimpmon gulp as he saw how beat red Tabanmon's face was. He was balling his fist so hard that they were shaking with angry. The flame on his tail began to glow even brighter, and smoking was coming out of nostrils. The smoking Digimon was about ready to explore at any moment. Blimpmon tap the angel Digimon on the shoulder and pointed at Tabanmon. Glorymon sigh and shook her head.
"Oh dear. With all these kids running around, he's going to blow," she said as Tabanmon face began to go even redder. She clap her hand over her mouth and call out, "Kids! I think you should all get over here now. Tabanmon is about to blow up soon!" It took a few second for the kids to get the message. They were just having so much fun, that they were not paying any attention. Yet, they did not want to see Tabanmon get any more angry now, so they all came running back. "And May," the angel Digimon added as she saw May, "Can you please get the remote that's label 'Mute' for me please?" May looked down at the table and saw a black remote with a big red button with the word 'Mute' over top of the button. Not knowing what it was, she grab the remote and heading back to the others.
"Is this it?" she asked handing the remote to Glorymon. The angel Digimon nodded as she took the remote away from.
"Hurry up! He's going to blow at any moment now!" Blimpmon said, as he hide behind Jake and Kenta. The smoking Digimon was getting more red now and he was shaking all over now. Glorymon pointed the remote at Tabanmon and press the button. The kids all expected the remote to claim Tabanmon down, but instead nothing happen. Just as Glorymon hit the button, Tabanmon explored! He open his mouth so wide that you could see the back of his throat as he yelled. Yet, no sound was coming out of him at all! He began yelling and pacing back and forth, pointing at the invention then at the kids, but still no words came out of his mouth. Emily look at the angel Digimon and asked,
"What did that thing do to him?" The angel Digimon held up the remote and smile at them saying,
"It's a mute button. For when he goes off like now. I don' t you kids hearing some of the bad words that was coming out of his mouth." The kids all laugh lightly at the 'mute' button. The smoking Digimon continue to mute rant, showing no signs of stopping at all. Glorymon place a hand over her mask eyes and shook her head.
"Looks like he's going to go off for a while," she said a little disappointed. She turn to the rubber Digimon and asked,
"Do you mind taking the kids to the green room while I stay here and keep an eye on the time bomb." Blimpmon gave the thumbs up and answered,
"Sure thing….um…what's the pass…."
"Green Room 7," the angel Digimon answered, already knowing the question. Blimpmon nodded as he wave the kids and their Digimon over to him. They all fallowed him, but their head kept looking behind them, watching Tabanmon doing it mute rant.
"Dose this happen a lot here?" Iris asked pointing back to Tabanmon and his yelling. The kids can all see some of the spit flying out of the smoking Digmon mouth as his face was still red.
"Pretty much, "Blimpmon said, "It's like a circus here at times, but it's all fun!" They soon came to a the other end of the lab and right in front of them was a white door. The door look plan and ordinary and perfectly much like the wall, if the black door knob was not there. Next to the door was a large keyboard full of letters and numbers. This was the only way to get inside the so call green room, is what the kids and their Digimon all thought. The rubber Digimon bent down near the keyboard and was about to type the pass code when he pause. He slowly turn his head and open his mouth, but Emily asked his question by saying,
"Green Room 7!"
"Oh Yeah!" Blimpmon said, sounding like this was obvious, "Nearly forgot." Kenta roll his eyes as the rubber Digimon began to type in the pass code. When the passcode was in, hit the enter button and something began to happen to the door. The kids and their Digimon all slowly back away as the white door began to revolve around in place! All different colors began to blur in front of the them as the door spun around and around. Then with a loud 'PING' the door stop revolving, but it was not the door they all saw first. This door was a light brown wooden door with a golden knob. Right on the top of the door was a white square, and written inside the square in faded black letter read, "Green Room". Right below the sign was a little yellow note pin on the door. The note was written in a female handwriting and read "No Smoking!" Deemon elbow Jake in the side and grin saying very scarcely,
"I wonder who's that for?" Jake lightly chuckled at what his partner said. Blimpmon blinked at them a few times and asked,
"Okay I give up. Who's it for?" He was taking this very seriously, even though it was just a joke.
"Let's just go in and we'll tell you that latter," Kenta answered jerking his thumb at the new door. The rubber Digimon, who was quick to forget, nodded and open the door for the kids to enter in. As the door squeaked open, the kids and the Digimon all saw what this Green room was all about. The room was very big and could fit all of them, plus the rubber Digmon and his friends, without anyone fighting for space. The wall and ceiling were painted a light green color to give the room a more relax feeling, and the carpeting was a door green color to go with the whole green room theme. The furniture was all a dark brown color all over part of the room. From a love seat where two people could sit together, to a full couch where friends can all sit and laugh with each other, and even signal chair for that one person to sit alone. Right next to where the furniture room was a little kitchen. The cabinets and doors were all the same dark brown color as the furniture, but the counter top was a dark black marble and the skin was a shinny sliver color, almost as if it has not been used in some time. Lastly, the black refrigerator was standing in the nearby corner of the kitchen part of the room, and was fill to what the kids and their Digimon thought with food and drinks. The kids and their Digimon all started at the Green room for some time. After all they been though, this room right here made them feel finally relax.
"Finally!" Nate said collapsing into one of the love seats, "A place where there is no danger or anything that's trying to get us! Just peace!"
"Yeah…" Blimpmon began as he looked at the green walls, "I don't know why, but the color green in this room always makes people feel easy." After a moment or so he looked back at everyone and asked, "Do you want anything to drink? We have stuff in the fridge."
"That sound great right about now," May said licking her lips, "What kind do you have?"
"Um…" the rubber Digimon said as he started into space. He was trying to think of what was in the refrigerator, but was coming up with a blank.
"I've got it!" Jake said walking to the refrigerator and pulling on the door. His eyes widen at the sight that he saw inside the refrigerator. "No way!" He said blinking a few times to make sure what he was seeing was real.
"Do you mind telling us what you're awing about?" Kenta asked, leaning on the arm of the couch.
"They have EVERYTHING in here!" Jake yelled, tossing his arms up and at the open refrigerator. Wonder what 'everything' was, the kids and their Digimon all dash up behind the Jake and glace into the open refrigerator. The kids eyes widen along with Jake's as they saw all of their favorite drinks line up in the refrigerator. Jake pointed at all the drinks saying, "They have Coke, 7 Up, Mountain Dew, Root Beer, Pesi, green tea, and even bottle water!"
"Mountain Dew! I call it!" Iris said, making a grab for the can.
"I can't wait to taste some 7 Up again!" Emily began giggling as she pick up her can of soda pop.
"What to pick, what to pick," May asked herself as she glace from each of the cans. "I guess I'll go with the Pesi first, then go to the others latter," she finished as she grab her choice.
"It's not hot tea," Kenta began making a grab for the green tea, "But green tea is still green tea."
"Figured you'd pic that," Jake said, with a bit of a snicker. Kenta shot Jake a dirty look as Jake continue to say, "But I'm going for good old classic Coke!"
"And I'll take the bottle water," Nate said, making a grab for the bottle water.
"BOTTLE WATER?!" the kids all exclaimed. They were shocked that Nate would pick just water and nothing else. They have been in wondering around for so long that they mess these drinks. You can get water anywhere, but others were something special.
"All right!" Nate said, changing his pick, "I'll take the Root Beer. It's been a real long time since I had that." As the kids were making their picks and drinking their messed drinks, the Digimon were looking at all of them with confessed looks.
"I don't understand why water in a bottle can get someone so excited?" Sealmon asked nodded to the bottle water.
"Yeah!" Canarymon added as she pointed to the cans of soda pop, "And what makes those can things so different? Do they taste like water as well?"
"Deemon, buddy!" Jake said grabbing another can of Coke and popping it open. The can made a hissing sound before the sound of bubbling came out, "You and the other Digimon should try some of the sodas here!" Deemon slowly grab the cold can of Coke and move it closer to him. The other Digimon crowed around Deemon and the mysterious can full of 'soda'. Deemon shrugged his shoulder before leading back and taking a big sip of Coke.
"All I'm saying is if you get some control of your angry, then I wouldn't have to mute you when you get into one of your 'booming fits of rage," Glorymon said as she cross her arms over her chest. The angel Digimon and Tabanmon were making their way to the Green room to meet up with the kids and their Digimon. The smoking Digimon slouch forward as he took a deep sigh, for all that mute yelling took a lot out of him.
"I REALLY hate that mute button you created," he said in a low deep tone as he place his hand on the door knob.
"Servers you right for having angry issues!" Glorymon said scoffing at her friend. Tabanmon turn the door knob and slowly push the door open as he said in a mocking tone to the angel Digimon,
"Severs you right for having…." Yet before he could finish his sentence, he was greeted by some chaos that was going on in the room. Deemon, Sealmon, and Caterpillarmon were all jumping up and down in front of them. All their eyes were wide and there was a bit of a twitch to them as well.
"Hey! Hey, how are you! Hey!" Deemon quickly asked, the words seem to be lost because they were being spoke too fast.
"We just had some soda for the first time and WOW was it good!" Sealmon added going as quickly at Deemon.
"After we had some, we had so much energy! I never had so much energy before, and I never bounce so high before either! It's great!" Caterpillarmon finished as her squishy body giggled every time she hit the ground. Glorymon and Tabanmon glace at the other Digimon to see what kind of chaos they were causing. Houndmon was busy chasing his tail around and around. He look like a blur wheel as he went around faster and faster. Canarymon was up in the air, flying around in circles as well. She was giggling loudly as she was flying faster and faster around the room. Lyxnmon was scratching one of the chairs with her sharp. She cackled loudly as the stuffing of the chair came pouring out to the carpet. Glorymon place a hand over her mouth and said softly,
"Oh my!" The she turn her head to see the children reaction to all of this. They were just as shocked as the angel and smoking Digimon. They had no idea that giving their Digimon some soda pop would make them act so…wild. Glorymon slowly move her hand away from her month and asked all of them, "You gave them some sugar, didn't you?" Emily put her hands behind her back and glace down at her sandals and said in a sad tone,
"Maybe." Before Glorymon could say anything, she looked over to see how Tabanmon was taking this. She bit her lower lip in fear, for Tabanmon face was once again red and he was shaking all over with angry. The angel Digimon quickly fumbled to get her mute button out of her pocket as Tabanmon was staring to from a certain 'F' work. She pull out her mute button that was in her pocket, but it was too late. The smoking Digimon had lost it and in the top of his lungs she shouted,
"FUDGE!" The Digimon stop their running around and everyone's head turn to Tabanmon. The smoking Digimon was breathing heavily as he place his hand on his legs to support himself. Everyone was silent for a moment, then suddenly Blimpmon suddenly said,
"I like fudge, can we have some now?"
"Later," Glorymon said as she place her mute button back in her pocket. She place a hand on Tabanmon's back and said to everyone,
"Okay, if you kids can hold onto you Digimon while we're talking, that would be great." She look down at the smoking Digimon, still breathing heavily, and said with a small grin, "And good job holding those words back in front of everyone." Tabanmon rolled his eyes but smile at her as she said that. Taking in one last deep breath, Tabanmon and Glorymon sat with Blimpmon and the kids, who were holding their over enteric Digimon between their legs. When Tabanmon sat down in one of the signal chair, he pull out a pack of his cigarette. Placing one cigarette in his mouth he move his flame to lite it. He took a few puff as the flame move away from the lite cigarette. Then, he puff out of the some of the smoke that quickly fill the room with the smell of the cigarette. The kids began to rub there noes and the smell and Glorymon rolling her head in disgust.
"So," the smoking Digimon began tapping some of the ashes into a nearby ash tray, "Now that we have no more distraction, we can get started with explaining everything to you Chosen Children." The kids eyes widen as they head the words 'Chosen Children'. Only one person, if you could call him a person, call them that and he was an lunatic Digimon!
"So wait," Jake began holding his hand out as if to stop a question, "How do you know we are these so called 'Chosen Children'?"
"Simple Jake," Glorymon said, as she lead back in her chair, "For we are the ones that brought you to the Digital World in the first place."
"WHAT!?" all the kids shouted at once. They could not believe what they were hearing! There was a thought that they may have something to do with them being here, but actually saying they are the ones who brought them here! Iris quickly stood up in her seat, holding Lyxnmon in her arms, as she began to yell saying,
"Are you telling me that you Bastards rip us away from our homes, families, and lives just to put us in another world for your amusement!? I'm sorry, but I ain't laughing!" She was breathing heavy and gave both Tabanmon and Glorymon dagger eyes. Tabanmon let the smoke from his cigarette float in the air for a moment. Then he pop his lips and said,
"Calling us Bastards isn't a best way to describe us." Iris was about to go right up to the smoking Digimon and punch his lights out. However she felt someone grab her arm, and she look down to see who it was. It was Emily who was holding Iris back, with a sad look on her face as she try to hold Iris and her Digimon at the same time.
"If you let us explain, then I'm sure you'll understand why we brought you kids here," the angel Digimon explain, trying to claim the situation down. Iris said nothing but sat back down with the others. Tabanmon took a another puff form his cigarette before begin the story by saying,
"Right. To understand the situation, we have to go back a little bit. A really, really, REALLY long time ago there were five of the most powerful Digimon know to the Digital world. Each one of them had their 'pacific' power and 'territory' that they ruled. One rule the whipping winds of the North, another own the blazing volcanos of the South, a third one watch over they crashing waters of the East, and another commanded the rocky mountains of the West, and finally control the balance of the Center of the Digital World."
"Question!" May said, raising her hand and holding onto Caterpillarmon. The smoking Digimon did not seem bother being interrupted by a question. Rather he grin at the question that May wanted to asked. So May asked, "What do you mean by Center of the Digital World? And, fallow up question, what kind of power did this Digimon have? It's just not clear to me on that."
"A very good question May!" Glorymon said clapping her hand together and pointing at May. "What we mean by 'balance' is that he control the light and darkness of the Digital World. It's a very difficult job for he could not be sway too much to one side or the other. And when we mean 'center' we mean the center of the circle that the four powerful Digimon territories. In that center is the balance of the other four powers. Does that clear some things up?
"Yes, it does," May said nodding her head. Yet the others somewhat understood what Glorymon was talking about. However they did not want to stop the story, so they let Tabanmon continue his story.
"So now that's clear up, these five Digimon became The Digimon Council and try the Digital World into a somewhat Utopia. Oh sure there were some small evil here and there, but nothing too bad. But it was a Utopia none the less."
"Sound a bit too good if you ask me," Kenta said holding Houndmon close to his chest.
"Now you're starting to understand," the smoking Digimon said as he pointed his cigarette at Kenta, the embers on the cigarette still glowing. Tabanmon pull back him cigarette to take another puff before continuing his story, "As you can guess, the Digital Utopia didn't last too long. You know the Digimon that control the balance? Well his balance started to shifted to one side. He started asking questions, really heavy question at that! And when you asked real heavy questions and don't get the answers, you come up with you own answers. And these answers he came up with, were real radical." Suddenly there was a loud crash coming from the kitchen area of the Green room. The sudden crash made everyone jump in the seat and whip their head to see what was going on. Blimpmon as the refrigerator door open he was trying to get a drink. However, the balloon Digimon accidently knock over several other drinks and they went crashing to the ground. The balloon Digimon grin weakly and said quickly,
"Sorry! Sorry, I've got this okay. You, you just keep going okay!?" He soon began to pick up all the drinks and stuffing them all back into the refrigerator. Glorymon shook her head but had a smile on her face. Tabanmon sigh deeply as he roll his eyes. He took another puff from his cigarette and pick up where he left off.
"Getting back to what I was saying, the Digimon of Balance soon transform himself into the Digimon of Darkness. Now the Digimon of Darkness, he created an army and attack the other Council members, like any madman would. The other Council members were shocked, but they could not be for too long cause an army of virus were knocking at their door. With that, the battle for the Digital World began, and let me tell you it was a long war! Places destroyed, and Digimon deleted and never been reborn. Eventual the Council were victorious in the war, yet they could not destroy the Digimon of Darkness. He was far too powerful, even with all four them put together. So they open up a portal and toss the Digimon of Darkness into another world. A world of nothingness, with no one and nothing at all! Nothing but him and a portal that was close forever." There was a long pause of silent as the kids took this in. It was a sad history to hear, but what did it mean to them?
"Um…Tabanmon?" Emiliy asked a bit timidly, "That's a very intense story you just told. Not to be mean or anything, but what does this have to do with us coming here?"
"Glorymon, would you please explain to them that part," the smoking Digimon asked as he put out his cigarette. "I need to get my voice a little break."
"Your voice wouldn't be giving out if you stop smoking already," the angel Digimon said to the side.
"What was that!?" Tabanmon yelled, making fists of rage.
"Oh, nothing," Glorymon said sweetly as she turn to her head to face the kids and their Digimon. She stood up from her seat and took a deep breath before saying,
"As you can guess, tossing your problems into a world full of nothingness never actually solves the problem, and the Digimon Council knew that. Yet they were in a long war and they were at their end of the limits as well. So what else could they do? So when the Digimon of Darkness we steal away, the Digimon Council came up with a plan. They need heroes from another world, more importantly, human children. With the help of human children, they can share their energy with Digimon and help the evolve into more powerful forms to help defeat the Digimon of Darkness once and for all." The kids all looked down at their Digimon, who were finally starting to claim down from their sugar rush. So they were the ones helping their Digimon Digi-vole to the next level. When they think back to all the times they were in danger, their Digimon was there to help and Digi-vole to the next level. Nate sat up in his seat as he asked,
"Okay, so why us? What makes us so different from other kids?"
"Another good question there!" Glory began, "There are a number of reasons why we picked you. And it's just not because you're all so cute!" She giggled lightly as the kids lightly blush a bit. "To answer that question, I have explain how Digi-volving works. It's very simple really, it all has to do with emotions. The stronger the emotions are, the more likely your Digimon will Digi-volve. But they can't be just any all emotion, and that's where I come to your question Nate." She turn her head to each one of the kids, looking at them carefully under her helmet as she said, "Each one of your possesses a strong positive trait. Note when I say positive, cause that's key. That positive trait that each of you haves is key to help your Digimon evolve to the next level and beyond!"
"That sounds pretty awesome to me!" Jake said as he rubbed Deemon shinny head, "What trait do I have that help Deemon Digi-vole to his amazing Adult level?" The other kids and their Digimon all nodded their heads. They too wanted to know what trait help their Digimon Digi-vole to their powerful forms. Glorymon just giggled as she put a finger on her lips.
"I'm sorry sweeties, but that's something you have to find out on your own!" she teases with a smile. They all gowned as they slouch in front of themselves. They all wanted to know what positive trait was! Why do people always have to be so mysterious at times? Blimpmon gave a dopy grin and chuckled a little bit as he said,
"Boy! You kids are so lucky to make it here from your world to the Digital World in one piece!" The kids and their Digimon all look at Blimpmon, who was still chuckling like the airhead that he was. Then the glace over to Tabanmon and Glorymon to see them looking at each other, their face had a look of worry to them. A worry that only the two of them could understand.
"Should….should we tell them?" Glorymon asked very timidly, she place her hand on other arm and began to rub it nervously. Tabanmon sigh as he rub his face with both his hand before saying,
"It looks like we have to, now that our 'Airhead' of an assistant said something!" He nodded over to the balloon Digimon, still chuckling and rubbing his rubber hand on Kenta's head witch made his hair frizz up in some places.
"Okay, what are you two talking about?" Kenta asked, "And will you stop that!?" he quickly barked pushing Blimpmon's hand away from his head. As Kenta was smoothing back his hair, both Glorymon and Tabanmon nodded their heads in agreement.
"I think you should know something very important," the angel Digimon said in a very serious tone. She cross her arms over her chest as the kids lead closer to listen. "You kids…are not the first humans to come to the Digital World."
"I knew it!" Nate yelled, standing up and holding onto Sealmon tightly. "I just knew we couldn't be the only humans here! So where are they and what are they doing now!?"
"You don't understand Nate!" Glorymon said, holding out her hands to stop Nate's excitement. "The portal to the Digital World was created by an accident. And when they were sucked into the portal, something change about them."
"What do you mean by change?" Iris asked, she almost sound scared. The angel Digimon took a deep breath, she was trying to pick the right words to describe this accident.
"They change from being humans to Digimon." Jaw drop to the ground as angel Digimon said that the first humans to come to this world, began Digimon themselves. This just sound too strange to be true, but again after what the kids have seen during their time here in the Digital World, anything was possible. Glorymon took another deep breath before saying, "Those humans had their DNA complete change, their memories of their past selves were almost all gone, and they the family and friends they left behind were driven to sadness." Tabanmon lead forward in his chair as he cross his fingers in his hands. Then, after licking his lips once, he finally said,
"And those humans, who were horrible change to Digimon, were us!" They
Digimon that were in the arms of the kids fell down to the ground with a soft THUMP. The kids were all a bit pale and their jaws drop every deeper into the floor below. These Digimon, who had help them get out of that mess not too long again, were once human. They were human, just like them. May gulp a little bit, for she was not sure what to say. After finding her voice she asked in a weak voice,
"So…all three of you….were once….human?"
"Actually," Tabanmon began, nodding to Glorymon with his head, "Only the two of us were human. Blimpmon…" He glace at the balloon Digimon, making a loud popping sound with his mouth, before continuing, "Was the idiot we fill on."
"That must have been so horrible," Emily said, looking down at her feet once more. "One moment you're doing something you love, the next moment you in a new world with a new look and very little memory. It's just so….so…" Emily felt like crying but she did not. For Canarymon hop onto her lap and rub her soft feathery head on Emily face. This made Emily feel a little bit better and she gently hugged her Digimon.
"It's been tough for us," Glorymon began, putting her hand behind her head, "We remember some things, like the name of our home city, what were we studying, some of our favorite food places. Yet other things, like our real names, the of some of our families, and other important events just escape us."
"You're right, but what could we do?" Tabanmon said, standing up and stretching his arms. They could hear the sound of some of his bones lightly crack as he stretch before sitting down and saying, "We were hit hard in the chest by the curl Mistress of Reality, and there were only two things we could do. One, lay on the ground and take the hit, even if the physical pain goes away that emotion pain is still there. Or two, stand up and show the world that you can keep up the fight! If you keep up with the fight, and not like the thing around you get to you, then you'll be a stronger person for that." It was something that the smoking Digimon had just said that made them think for a moment. They thought back to the fight they just had with Painmon and the others. They had lost that fight, and it was the first fight they lost in the Digital World. They were also close to death as well, and that made their stomach turn a little bit just thinking of that. Yet, they were saved by Tabanmon, healed by Glorymon and laugh with Blimpmon. So even though they lost the fight, could they still stand up and fight again?
"Speaking of standing up and fighting again," Glorymon said, bring back from their thoughts, "We need to talk about that."
"Agreed," the smoking Digimon added. He pointed two fingers straight at them and said, "You kids have meet the top agents of the Digimon of Darkness newest army. And you see how powerful they can be." The kids all weakly nodded, they were still not a hundred percent better after that fight. "And the only way you can beat these powerful Digimon is to have your Digimon go to the next level. That's right, your Digimon need to go to the Perfect Level!" The kids and Digimon eyes widen at the thought of going to the Perfect Level! What would their Digimon be like at this level, how powerful would they be, and could they stop Painmon and the other for good next time they meet.
"Okay," Jake began fixing his goggles as looking at Glorymon and Tabanmon, "That sound just what we need. But who do we get to that level?"
"Simple," the smoking Digimon said raising his shoulders, "All you need is…" Yet before he could finish there was a loud BOOM coming from outside. The loud sound made every stand up and look at the door as another BOOM came from outside, making the door shake.
"What in the world is going on out there!" Glorymon asked marching straight to the door. Tabanmon quickly fallowed her as open the door. The kids, their Digimon and Blimpmon quickly darted to the door to see what was going on as well.
When everyone was outside back in the lab, there came another loud BOOM and the sound of mental being rip apart. The awful sound made the kids cover their ears as they looked around to see what was causing this sound. There they saw what was causing the damage, it was a Tyrannonmon, just like the one the Creator of the Black Sport used, yet something was off about this Tyrannonmon. For one thing, its skin was completely black, except for its white belly and red strips over its body. Another thing was this strange looking Tyrannonmon seem to be a lot stronger than the one they face. Its sharp claws slash though some of the machines and its tail whip what was left to the side. The dinosaur roar loudly making the whole place shake, and showing how powerful it can be. Nate pull his hands away from his ears and pointed at the dinosaur Digimon and yelled,
"What is that thing!?"
"It's a DarkTyrannonmon!" Blimpmon began to explain, "It's like a normal Tyrannonmon, but dark!"
"Thank you Obviousmon!" Tabanmon yelled, spit flying from his mouth.
"The real question is, what it's doing her destroy our lab?" Glorymon asked, ducking as a piece of mental few pass them. The balloon Digimon hit himself over the face as he said,
"Now I remember why I was saying in front of the door in No-Space." They all turn as Blimpmon explain, "The DarkTyrannonmon that snuck into our lab last week is still sleeping, but I forgot the combination to lock the door. What is it again?" The only sound that could be heard was DarkTyrannonmon roaring and destroy everything in his path. Then Tabanmon finally lost it. He charge right at the balloon Digimon, arm out ready to strangle his ruby neck. Thank goodness Glorymon was there to hold Tabanmon back, however he did thrash around a lot yelling,
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you for good this time you air head!"
"Tabanmon! Claim down!" the angel Digimon yelled as she slaps some sense into him. After a while he was a bit claimer, but still breathing deeply. The angel Digimon turn to the kids and said in a worry tone, "We need to stop DarkTyrannonmon before he destroys everything we work so hard to create!"
"You leave that to us!" Deemon announce giving her the thumbs up. With that said, the Digimon all charge at the DarkTyrannonmon, who was chew on a steel pole like it bone. The kids watch as their Digimon try to attack the DarkTyrannonmon, but the dinosaur whip its black tail at the Digimon and they all went crashing into the wall. The kids flitch as they saw their poor Digimon leave crash in the wally they had just crash into.
"This over grown lizard is swatting them around like flies!" Iris said. She began to pull out her Digi-vice as she continue to say, "They all need to get to the next level if they are going to win!" Fallowing her lead, the other kids pulled out their Digi-vices and held them right in front of them. Just as they held out their Digi-vices, they all began to see something right near the DarkTyrannonmon. It was faint at first, but after a while it became clearer. It was the images of Trickomon, smirking as he held up a sharp card, Tigerlillymon, her crossing her arms and having a superior look on her face, and finally Painmon, who showed no emotion at all. The three images were all standing behind DarkTyrannonmon as she was stomping on the ground and roaring once more. The kids hands began to shake, and they turn a little pale as well. They had no idea what the outcome of this battle would be. Could it turn out like early, with them almost nearing death? Tabanmon rub his eyes in angry, for he and the others did not see these images but he could guess what was the hold up.
"You know how was talking about Positives traits?" he asked making the kids look at him. They all knocked lightly as he continue to say, "Well fear and doubt are Negative traits. And when you have those traits it will be almost impossible to have a Digimon Digi-vole!" One by one, the kids put down their Digi-vice and let their head fall down.
"So…there's nothing we can do?" Nate asked shrugging his shoulders. Tabanmon looked down to the side. He did not know what to say to these kids, and he really wanted to help them somehow. Yet Glorymon had something in mind as she quickly march in front of the kids. She pointed to DarkTyrannonmon and said,
"Take a look over there and tell me what you see." They all glace over to the battle where their Digimon were trying the hardest to be this dinosaur Digimon. Deemon was head butting as hard as he could on the dinosaur foot, Houndmon was trying to bit off one of its toes, Lyxnmon was clawing at its heals, Sealmon was pounding his claw paws on its foot, Canarymon was pecking at its knee, and Caterpillarmon trying to tie up its legs with her sticky string. Kenta blink a few times before sighing and looking at the ground saying,
"A losing battle." Glorymon shook her head in disagreement.
"What I see," she began looking at the Digimon's struggle to victory, "Are six strong Digimon trying their best for the people they care about." The kids all looked at her as she continue to say, "Sure, they're afraid and who can blame them. But they are more afraid of losing you kids then they are losing their lives." Color slowly started to come back to the kids' faces after the angel Digimon said that. They all looked closely at their Digimon and could see in their eyes that they were determent. Determent to protect their friends even if it seem impossible. Soon the three images faded away, and the kids found their voices to cheer on their Digimon.
"Canarymon! Keep it up!" Emily yelled, capping her hand over her mouth to become louder, "I believe in you and the others!" Their Digi-vices began to beep now.
"Go Sealmon Go!" Nate yelled as well, cupping his hands into fist, "Show this dinosaur your wild side!" The Digi-vices began to beep even louder now!
"Kick its Ass Lynxmon!" Iris yelled, joining in with the other as she raise her fist into the air, "This lizard got nothing on you and the others!" The Digi-vices began to beep even louder now and they started to glow as well.
"You can do it Houndmon!" Kenta yelled, he stomp a foot onto the ground as he continue to yell, "You have the other Digimon, and us to back you up!" The beeping grow louder and the glowing became brighter as well.
"Fight with everything you have Caterpillarmon!" May yelled, she grab her computer bag tightly as she added, "Send this dinosaur back to the Cretaceous Period!" The beeping and glowing became stronger, and Tabanmon, Glroymon, and Blimpmon all smile.
"Deemon…" Jake began. He was still looking down at the ground, but suddenly he left up his head and shouted at the top of his lungs, "KEEP UP THE FIGHT!" And with those last words, the Digimon began to Digi-vole.
"CATERPILLARMON DIGI-VOLE TO…ULYSSESMON!"
"SEALMON DIGI-VOLE TO…WEDDELLMON!"
"CANARYMON DIGI-VOLE TO…PHOENIXMON!"
"DEEMON DIGI-VOLE TO…DRACOMOM!"
"LYNXMON DIGI-VOLE TO…SPINXMON!"
"HOUNDMON DIGI-VOLE TO…LUPUSMOM!" DarkTyrannonmon was catch off guard by the suddenly size change of the Digimon, that he stubble backwards and crash into the wall. The Digimon stood their ground, growling at the dinosaur as it slowly pick itself back up. DarkTyrannonmon shook itself a bit and roar in rage, yet it was so blinded by its own rage that it did not see Lupusmon and Spinxmon pouch right at it. The dinosaur Digimon came crashing down with a loud BANG and leaving a crater where it lay. Quickly the wolf Digimon and tiger Digimon jump off of the chest of the dinosaur as Weddellmon came charging in for the next attack!
"Frozen Claw!" Ice began to from all over DarkTyrannonmon's chest as the attack landed. The dinosaur Digimon try to knock Weddellmon off, but he duck down just in time to miss the claw. The dinosaur Digimon was shaking mad now as it rose back onto its feet. It took a deep breath and flames start to from in its mouth. Yet before it could shoot out its fire, Ulyssesmon came swooping down to stop the flames!
"Web Whip!" The sticky whip warp around DarkTyrannonmon's mouth tightly holding back the flames. DarkTyrannonmon stomp around, its mouth shut tight, as the flames burn its mouth. Dracomon nodded to Phoenixmon and she understood. It was time to finish DarkTyrannonmon off!
"Dragon Force!"
"Fire Spiral!" The two attack combined together and shoot right at DarkTyrannounmon! The dinosaur Digimon did not see that attack for it was too busy trying to put out the flames that was in its mouth. Not only did the attack break off the ice, but it sent DarkTyrannonmon flying into the air. The dinosaur Digimon roar once last time before breaking up into dust of data and spread out into the wind.
"Yeah!" the smoking Digimon yelled as he slap everyone's hands, "Now that's what I'm talking about!" The Adult Digimon all ran back to their partners, and as they did they change back to the Child form. They all jump into their partners arms, laughing and hugging at what they just did.
"It feels so good to have thing back to normal!" Lyxnmon said purring as Iris was scratching her in her favorite spot.
"Yeah…almost normal," Glorymon said slowly as she and the other all look at the damage that was cause. Some part from a machine fill from up to and crash to the ground loudly.
"Um…sorry for the mess we cause," Caterpillarmon began, turning her head to look at the damage, "But hey! We beat it, that's good." Tabanmon rub the back of his head as he look at all the damage himself.
"Yeah…we can always rebuild," he said, and this shocked everyone. For they thought he was going to lose it.
"Wow! Never thought I would be hearing THAT from you," the angel Digimon said sounding very impressed. The smoking Digimon shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal. A thought pop back into May head as she turn to the two of them.
"Say, what were you going to say just before DarkTyrannonmon came in and started destroying everything." Tabanmon and Glorymon both glace at each other. With a signal nod for both of them they knew what to do.
"Let's just save that for another time," Glorymon said clapping her hands together. May nodded, but something in the back of head waited to know more. "But for now you all earn a good long rest. Why don't you all go to the kitchen with Blimpmon and get yourselves something to eat."
"YEAH!" the kids all shouted at once. They all fallow Blimpmon as he took them to the kitchen.
"I'm going to have a double cheese burgher with all the fires I can eat!" Jake said licking his lips at the taste of his burgher and fries.
"I'm going to eat so much chocolate cake that I'm going to have sugar rust until next year!" Iris said rubbing her hands together.
"I'm going to have a fresh salad," Nate added with a grin. The kids look at Nate with a confused looks on their faces. "What?! I'm craving something green!" As everyone, even Nate, laugh at what they were going to have, Tabanmon turn to Glorymon and said,
"And while they are eating, we'll going to give the Digimon Council a little call."
"Agreed," Glorymon added. For what they were going to ask the Council was going change the kids and the Digimon's lives.
Next time...On Digimon Fighters!
Tabanmon: Great! I hate contracting the Digimon Council Members!
Glorymon: Yeah, they can be stuck in the old ways. But we need to talk to them.
Blimpmon: What are we doing again?
Tabanmon & Glorymon: Nothing.
Tabanmon: Hello Council Members...
*One conversation latter*
Glorymon: That went better that what we thought.
Tabanmon: Yeah, we only got three death threats instead of nine!
Glorymon: True. But we convince the Council Members that the kids should revive the crests!
Tabanmon: Yeah. Now only they have to survive the the test that the Council Members are cooking up.
Blimpmon: That's dangerous right?

Glorymon and Tabanmon: We need to call their parents.
Next time: Contacting the Council and Parents
Tabanmon: Do you think this lab coat looks fat on me. Want to make a good impersonation on the parents.
Glorymon: No, your fat makes you look fat.
