The Red Giant's Arrival

After believing they had defeated Flymon the seven children and their newly found digimon partners celebrated on the cliff they were on, when suddenly Flymon made one last attack that caused the cliff they were on to fall apart and made the children and their digimon fall into the river below.

"Oh my Goddddddd!" Janice screamed at the top of her lungs as she and her friends continued to fall.

"Rachel!" Lalamon yelled and grabbed Rachel by her hands and tried to keep her up in the air with herself, only to fail and continue to fall.

The seven children and their digimon suddenly fell into the cold river, surfaced, and tried to stay afloat.

The raging waters seem to be too great for the children and digimon to swim through; all they could do was scream for help.

Not far from the commotion, by the riverbank, was a small, white, otter-like digimon who was sleeping until he was awaken by the crash.

"Huh? Whazthat?" He looked around and spotted the children and digimon, "Oh no! I need to help them!" the digimon yelled, "Marching Fishes!"

Suddenly a swarm of colorful fishes rose under the children and their digimon, the fishes formed a raft and carried the kids and their digimon to the riverbank.

"This is weird! Did you do something?" Joey asked his water-based partner, Betamon.

"Nuh-uh wasn't me!"

Upon arriving to the riverbank the children collapsed onto the land.

"Oh my god! I've never been so happy to be on land!" Janice said then scoffed, "That was the worst experience ever!" she waved her hands frantically.

Kumamon ran up to her and said, "Everything's alright now! Thanks to that Gomamon!" He pointed to the white digimon.

"Hiya! I'm glad you guys are okay!"

"Thanks Gomamon!" Everyone said, except for Joey.

Joey smirked, "Yeah thanks, but uh… I think Bukamon could've have helped even more, right?" he turned to his partner.

Betamon looked up at Joey, slightly blushing, "Actually Joey, I don't think I would have been much help, you and me would have probably been the only ones that would have made it, everyone else would have drowned." He laughed nervously as he looked around at everyone's not-amused faces, he then cleared his throat, "Uh-anyways, I'm Betamon now because I digivolved!"

"Digi-what?" Joey said dumbfounded.

Monica looked down at her digimon, "I'm guessing you're not Nyaromon anymore huh?"

"Nope I'm Salamon now!"

"It is because we all digivolved!" Lalamon, Rachel's pink and green flower-like digimon exclaimed.

"That is so neat!" Chandler said excitedly as Phoebe gave him a puzzled look.

"What?" he asked.

Phoebe scoffed, "Who says 'neat' nowadays?"

"A lot of people do! Like uh-um…. Fonzi?" a confused Chandler answered back.

"Anyways," Ross restarted the conversation, "So digivolving is what happens when they get to the next level and get stronger." He scratched his goggle-head.

Guilmon nodded his head excitedly, "Right. Like I'm not Gigimon anymore, I'm Guilmon!"

"I'm not Gummymon anymore, I'm Terriormon!" The rabbit-like digimon said to his partner, Phoebe.

"I was Budmon but now I'm Lalamon!" the small pink and green digimon said to Rachel.

"And me I was Wanyamon but now that I digivolved I'm Kumamon!" he said to Janice.

"And I'm guessing you're not Frimon anymore now your Simba-mon?" Chandler asked his digimon.

"No silly, I'm Liollmon." The lion cub digimon laughed at his partner.

"So when you guys digivolved you guys got bigger. Does that mean you're all different now?" Monica asked with curiosity.

Terriormon answered, "We're still digimon but now we are stronger than before, but first we needed your help first."

"Our help?" Janice asked.

The Gomamon then answered, "Yeah digivolving is a long process, and boy you guys are lucky to be able to digivolve faster!"

"That's neat, I helped you digivolve?" Monica asked Salamon.

"Yup, yup you helped me out a lot." Salamon smiled.

Chandler suddenly yelled, "Hey she said 'neat'!"

"Yeah but, uh…Monica is a girl are you a girl?" Phoebe asked confidently.

"I am not a girl! I uh…" Chandler then changed the subject, "So are we going to sit here and wait for the honey nut cheerios bee to get us or what are we going to do now?"

"Maybe there's a phone or something nearby so we can call for help… and maybe afterwards we can order Pizza…with pepperoni…and maybe a side order of buffalo wings… with ranch dressing… What were we talking about?" Joey asked confused.

Ross rolled his eyes, "But we don't even know were we are! We started up there on that mountain!" he pointed up to the cliff they were once on.

"I think we should walk around and explore a bit." Phoebe suggested.

Janice let out her goat laugh and said, "I think that is a fabulous idea! Maybe we'll find more people around here. Do you know if there's more people here?" she asked the Gomamon that had been quiet for quite some time.

"More humans? Nope you guys are the first ones to arrive here, there's only digimon here." He replied. "I never thought humans would be this small though! I've heard about humans before y'know, never thought I live to see them!" he laughed.

"Well we are kids still! Trust me adults are much taller than us!" Ross explained to Gomamon.

Lalamon noticed that her partner had been fidgeting in where she was standing, "What's wrong Rachel?"

"Ugh its so humid here, I feel so dirty, my pores are going to clog up, oh my god what if I break out?" Rachel panicked.

"Aren't you only ten?" Chandler asked.

"Yeah… but still my skin is sensitive! Can we just get out of here?" Rachel squirmed.

Terriormon and Phoebe seemed to have been in their own conversation when they both agreed on something and Phoebe spoke up, "Yo, Mr. Gomamon! Since you live around here do you think you can show us around?"

Gomamon smiled, "I'd be happy to!"

The seven children and their digimon followed Gomamon down the Riverbank; he had mentioned that there were some devices he did not recognize that could probably be helpful to them.

Monica and Salamon were walking close to Gomamon when Salamon suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, I thought Gomamon lived in the ocean with groups?"

Gomamon let out a nervous chuckle, "Yeah we do…but I sort of got… kicked out."

"What? Why?" a perplexed Monica asked, she could not believe such a sweet looking thing could have gotten kicked out of his own home.

Gomamon then blushed, "Uh-something about eating too much and um- oh look were here!" he pointed to a small lake; luscious green trees surrounded it as the blue sky reflected off of it.

Janice scoffed, "Wow, this lake is BEAUTIFUL!" she held onto Chandler's arm as he looked slightly annoyed.

Liollmon stretched out and yawned, "I think we should rest here a bit until we know where to go next!"

They all sat down when Ross asked Gomamon, "Oh, so what were those 'devices' you were talking about?"

Gomamon nodded his head past the children, not too far from them were several medium-sized television sets lying on the ground, ready to be picked up.

Without hesitation the seven children jumped up and ran over to the TVs, while their digimon stayed in place and watched with curiosity.

"What could televisions be doing out here?" Ross thought out loud.

Phoebe pushed the 'on' button and yelled excitedly, "Ooh, ooh, mines turned on!" Everyone looked at the screen and stared confused.

"What the heck is that?" Rachel asked.

On the screen it looked like a newscast, the background was a bright purple, and sitting on the table was a large apple with a smiley face. Although there was no movement some sound was heard.

"Turn it up I wanna hear the apple!" Joey said.

"…In other news the forecast for today is cloudy with a chance of raining hotdogs, and slight chance of rolling donuts down the mountain and over the river…"

"What the hell? Raining meat? How atrocious!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"This is so weird, I wonder if all the other TVs are like this?" Monica wondered as she turned on another TV.

The screen simple showed static, the chubby girl looked disappointed, "This sucks!"

Chandler turned on another one, which showed a blank blue screen, "These TVs are useless, look! Nothing, just a useless piece of jun-AAHH!" He screamed and jumped back when a clown's face suddenly popped on the screen and had a laugh that resembled Krusty the Clown.

Phoebe laughed at Chandler's reaction as Janice hugged him, "Awe my poor Bing-a-ling!"

Guilmon walked up to Ross, "Ross-mon what's a matter do they not work?"

Ross sighed, "No Guilmon, they do not work." He looks up at the gang, "Looks like we're going to have to keep moving onward."

"I think we should stay here a little longer and rest." Monica sat next to Salamon and pulled out a candy bar from her pant's pocket.

"Ooh, what is that Monica?" Salamon asked eagerly.

"A Kit-Kat bar." Monica held it somewhat tightly, obviously reluctant to share, but soon filled with slight guilt upon seeing her partner's face. "You want a piece?"

"Sure!" Salamon said happily as she took a piece from Monica's hand. "Mmm, that's good Monica!"

Guilmon started to sniff the air, "Mmm that smells good Monica-mon! Can Guilmon have some too?" The large lizard asked.

Monica saw an adorable look on Guilmon's face and could not say no, "Okay, catch!" the chubby girl tossed the piece at him.

Guilmon jumped up in the air and snapped at the piece of chocolate, only to hopelessly miss and hit the ground with a loud thud.

"You okay there Guilmon?" Ross ran up to his partner.

"Oof, I'm okay Ross-mon." the large lizard rubbed his head.

The candy piece continued to roll on the floor until it hit a small rock and bounced off into the lake.

"Aw no!" Guilmon watched sadly as his food sank in the water.

"Pssh, no problem you can still eat it if you dry it off!" Joey said assuring the red lizard then turned to Betamon, "You think you can go get it?"

"Uh well, are you sure it will still be good?" Betamon asked as Joey nodded in approval, while the other children looked somewhat disturbed with the idea.

"Betamon wait! Joey I'm not going to let you let Guilmon eat that, that is disgusting, you know what he can get after the chocolate has been in the water all sorts of bacteria and…" Ross continued to lecture as the chocolate continued to sink lower and lower into the lake.

Until it hit a large white object, that object started to move; it was giant squid with two large tentacles and an enormous mouth. The squid grabbed the chocolate piece with its tentacle, sniffed it, and then ate it.

"Mmm" he grunted, he then looked up at the surfaced and swam quickly to it.

Ross continued to lecture Joey about how one could get sick from eating food that has been on the floor; Guilmon and Betamon had fallen asleep and Joey watched Ross uninterested, his mind elsewhere.

Chandler was speed walking around the lake, trying to escape Janice, while Liollmon and Kumamon watched amused.

Phoebe played with Terriormon's ears, "They're so big" she giggled.

Rachel and Lalamon laid on the shore, taking in the sunlight, "This feels great!"

"Uh-huh" Lalamon agreed.

Monica and Salamon played with the water, and Gomamon rested on a large rock.

Gomamon suddenly stood up facing the water, the other digimon followed. Guilmon's back arched up and started to snarl at the water.

"And so as I was saying—huh? Guilmon what's wrong?" Ross looked towards the lake, which had started to bubble.

"Something's coming!" Guilmon growled.

Suddenly with a large splash the gigantic white squid rose from out of the water, with its mighty arms it screamed viciously making the water thrash around.

The squid looked at the children and their digimon, sniffing the air, until it spotted Monica; who was holding tightly onto what was left of her chocolate, with Salamon standing before her, ready to attack.

"Oh-my-God what is that?" Janice screamed.

Kumamon clenched his fist, ready to release an attack to protect his partner, "That's Gesomon, he has a nasty temper and his coral crusher is no better."

"Well you guys could take care of him just like you did Flymon!" Joey yelled, "Let's go Betamon!"

"Right! Electric Shock!" Betamon unleashed his electric attack from his orange dorsal fin.

"Bear Fist!" Kumamon launched his attack at Gesomon; both attacks merely ricocheting off of him.

"Hey, what's up with that?" Chandler asked confused as Liollmon also launched an attack only to fail.

"He's a champion level but he seems to be stronger than Flymon was." Lalamon informed the children.

"Great, what are we going to do now?" Ross asked as Gesomon continued with its rampage, roaring with all its might.

"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon yelled, only to fail. "Beat him, that's what Ross-mon!" Guilmon then jumped on one of Gesomon's tentacles and bit it, causing Gesomon to scream in pain and throw Guilmon off of him. Guilmon was launched off and hit a tree; the angry Gesomon now had its focus on Guilmon heading straight for the red lizard.

"Guilmon look out!" Ross yelled as he picked up a small rock and aimed for Gesomon's head. "Hey ugly, over here!"

Gesomon turned with its mouth wide open, the rock hopelessly missed Gesomon's head and landed in his mouth, causing him to choke and cough it out.

"Oops, I was never good in sports" Ross said nervously.

Then with one tentacle, the disgruntled Gesomon grabbed Ross by the waist and started to squeeze hard.

Ross screamed in pain, while the other children and their tired out digimon watched helplessly, "Ross!" they all screamed.

"Ross! Guilmon is coming!" Guilmon yelled running up to his partner's aid only to be tossed to the side by Gesomon's other free tentacle. "Oof." Guilmon yelled as Gesomon started to squeeze Guilmon as well.

"Guilmon no! We have to make sure the others don't get hurt! Guilmon!" Ross yelled.

We have to do something! Think Ross, think! Ross thought to himself, worried for the safety of his friends and the other digimon.

"Look at his digivice!" Phoebe pointed out; Ross's digivice was glowing and shaking madly with great power.

That power and energy was transferring to Guilmon filling him with strength, "Digivolve!"

"Guilmon digivolve to… Growlmon!"

Guilmon had expanded twice his size, causing Gesomon to lose its grip and tossed Ross by accident onto the floor.

Monica ran up to her older brother, "Ross, are you okay? I know you bruise like a peach!"

"Yeah, I am fine!" Ross sat up properly and examined the situation, "Amazing! He digivolved once more! He is now Growlmon!"

Growlmon looked almost exactly like his prior form, Guilmon, except he was twice that size, had to horns protruding his head and white hair on his head.

Growlmon let out a small growl as he glared at Gesomon who roared back, "Pyro Blaster!"

The attack sent Gesomon straight into a tree. "Oof" Gesomon grunted and stood up with a roar as he spat out ink at Growlmon.

The giant dinosaur let out another fire attack that disinigrated Gesomon's attack.

The angered Squid then started to attack Growlmon with its giant tentacles, wrapping them both around Growlmon's body and squeezing him with great force.

Growlmon let out deafening roar and bit down one of the tentacles, causing Gesomon to lose his grip.

The injured Gesomon then stood weakly before the giant dinosaur, "Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon roared shooting his fiery move at Gesomon and launching him from their location at the lake and into the sky.

Gesomon's scream was heard and faded as he did farther and farther into the sky.

"Growlmon you did it!" Ross yelled happily running up to his partner.

"Woah, Guilmon digivolved again? You humans are the key to digivolution!" an amazed Gomamon looked at the children.

"You mean you guys can digivolve stronger too?" Joey asked the digimon.

They all nodded and looked at Growlmon who was shrinking down back to Guilmon.

"Hey what happened?" Phoebe asked.

"After reaching other forms, us digimon turn back to our rookie forms because of all the energy we used." Terriormon explained, while sitting on Phoebe's head

"Oh... my God! That is amazing!" Janice scoffed along with her hand gestures, and then turned to Kumamon "I wonder what you will become? Maybe a great, big, ADORABLE, teddy bear!" she let out her signature laugh and squeezed the air out of her partner.

"I…can't…breathe!" Kumamon said as everyone laughed.

"Oh yeah, giant teddy bear, that sounds really scary!" Chandler joked, but then had a somewhat disturbed look, "Almost as much as seeing my dad in a Marilyn Monroe outfit."

"Huh? What's a Marilyn Monroe?" Liollmon asked his partner.

Chandler chuckled nervously, "Don't worry about it!"

"Guilmon is hungry!" Guilmon looked up at Ross.

Ross laughed and handed Guilmon one of Monica's candy bars, "Here you buddy! You deserve it!"

"Hey! Who told you, you could get my candy?" Monica snapped but then faced the rest of the gang, "Before we start celebrating, we should keep going forward!"

"Monica is right!" Gomamon said, "If we keep going that way" Gomamon pointed towards a trail in the forest, "We'll reach a small village that is out there!"

"Let's get going then! Maybe they'll have a shower or something, I can't stand not this any longer!" Rachel whined pulling on her frizzy hair.

"Rachel, you look fine to me!" Lalamon said happily.

"Wait! Gomamon where is the beach?" Monica asked the small otter digimon.

"That way! Why?" Gomamon pointed to another direction.

"Don't you want to go back with your family?" Monica asked as she pulled out a candy bar.

"I'd like to, but I don't know if they'd want me back there after I…" Gomamon started.

"Aw Gomamon, whatever happened I'm sure they'll forgive you!" Salamon comforted Gomamon who was looking unsure of what to do.

"Yeah we should go to the beach Gomamon!" Ross stated, "No one should be separated from their family for a dumb reason!"

"Um…" Gomamon started, "Alright, I'll show the way."

"Alright! The beach! Maybe we'll see hot girls there!" Joey said happily as he danced around with Betamon, holding his flippers.

"Joey, were the only humans here, I doubt there will be hot girls there." Chandler said as he put his palm on his face.

"Uuhhh Joey I'm getting dizzy!" Betamon said nauseously.

Joey stopped, "What?" No hot girls? I bet your wrong!" Joey yelled and started running towards the beach, tossing Betamon to the side.

"Augh!" Betamon yelled falling on top of Kumamon.

"Ouch!" Kumamon yelled.

"Hey Joey wait up!" Chandler yelled as he and the rest of the children, their digimon, and Gomamon ran after Joey.

The children's laughter and steps faded as they ran closer to the beach, leaving the lake silent once more.

Hidden within the shadows of the trees was a large dark figure. It stood silently with its glowing red eyes as it stared at the place where the children once stood.
