A/N: Here's Chapter 3. Sorry for the delay…
Last time, the Power Rangers fell down a rocky cliff and landed on a group of fish, scaling down a river. Well, they arrive at a beach that was filled with telephone booths. When they tried to find food, Shellmon decides to attack. Agumon, the only Digimon that had strength, digivolved to Greymon and Shellmon fell back into the ocean. What could happen next?
THE DIGITAL JOURNEY
Adventure 03: Blue Wolf Garurumon
Adam's POV…
"I got you," I said, stretching my hand toward Rocky's. Rocky grabbed on to it tightly as I pulled him up on to the surface. The seven of us stood there as we saw the destruction of the telephone booths and the waves crashing on to the surface. I looked at Rocky, who was looking at the ocean with a concern. Maybe, it was because of Shellmon's battle with Greymon. The same question lies in all of us: how come Agumon could battle unlike the rest of the others? And more importantly, why did Greymon change back? Well, I guess Rocky wanted to get it out into the open.
"Uh, Agumon?" asked Rocky.
"Yes?" asked Agumon.
"Why did you change back?" he asked.
Rocky's partner sighed as he scratched his head, "I don't know."
Suddenly, Rocky felt a sense of vertigo as he went to fall off the cliff. Luckily, Agumon grabbed his shirt. I laughed a little bit, because Rocky's look was priceless. However, it was time to cease laughing. Everyone turned around as they saw boulders crashing into each other. Out of the boulders, we saw two Digimon that look like a Triceratops. Looking at my friends, I could see that Billy was very excited to see this new phenomenon.
"What's up?" asked Tentomon, "You seem curious and excited."
"Ooh, sweet!" said Billy, "Triceratops Digimon!"
"Close…," said Tentomon, "They are Monochromon. However, he's nice and there's no threat to them. We can walk here safely without being attacked."
DIGIMON ANAYLZER
Name: Monochromon
Level:Champion
Attribute: Data
Attacks: Volcano Strike
I looked at Rocky and then turned to Tentomon, "If that's true, then how come it looks angry?"
Suddenly, everyone turned around. To my eyes, I gasped to see another Monochromon, roaring and screaming. I couldn't explain my thoughts right now. They were all clustered because I was worried if I was going to be food for the next Digimon. Kuwagamon was one, Shellmon was two, I don't need another two.
"Two Monochromon," said Tommy, "Everyone, run!"
We ran for our lives. I was there just in time before the Monochromon rammed into each other. They then collapsed on a boulder, which caused a massive destruction behind us as we kept going. However, we kept running east into the tropical forest, also known as uncharted territory. Palmon was screaming as they kept running into the forest.
"Palmon, wait up!" yelled Kim.
"Uh-uh, sweetheart, I want to get out of this place!" said Palmon.
Her hands were waving in the air as she was running past Kim. I look at it this way, I can't blame Palmon. My heart was pounding really hard. I was lucky I wasn't going to have a heart attack at the time. I began to break a sweat, running through.
"Why are they fighting?" asked Aisha.
"Simple," said Tentomon, "Territorial reasons."
As we kept running, Tommy turned around and watched as the two Monochromon charged into each other. With so much force, Tommy watched as the two Monochromon yelled, causing them to fall into the water. He turned to the others and we continued on.
Back at Lord Zedd's…
"This is perfect," said Lord Zedd. Sitting down on his powerful throne, Rita was looking at him with a smile, "Oh, Zeddy. This is perfect! Do we have a plan?"
"Goldar and Scorpina are already down there destroying the buildings as we speak," said Zedd.
On Earth, Goldar and Scorpina started exploding things with their attacks. Scorpina stretched out her saber, releasing yellow beams from her sword. The buildings exploded. People were running away as Goldar and the Putties kept destroying the city.
"Yes, the Power Rangers won't be here to save you!" he yelled.
"Now, it's time to destroy what the rangers tried to protect!" yelled Scorpina, "Die, all of you!"
The explosions kept continuing.
Hours later, in the digital world…
I was soaked with sweat. The sun was setting and the humidity of the Tropical Jungle was not helping us as we sit by. According to Tentomon, we were heading toward Dragon Eye Lake. However, we never expected to see street signs posted all over the trees. Talk about craziness. However, I noticed that Kim bent over and landed on the grass.
"I don't mean to complain, but can we take a break?" asked Kim.
"Just a little further, Kim," said Rocky, passing by her.
"Rocky, my calves will be swollen. They will be big as elephant feet," she said.
"You know, having that will help you," said Agumon, smiling.
"I'm not like you, Agumon," said Kim, sighing.
Suddenly, Palmon looked at her, "Well, they can sink into roots, like me!"
"I don't know if being a tree would be the number one choice," said Kim.
Palmon sighed as she looked at her. While all of that was happening, it seems that Billy was observing the sun. It was orange, but there was a pinkish bluish tint that emerged out of it, changing the sky.
"Talk about a color change in the sun," said Billy, "I hope we get to the lake, like you said, Tentomon."
Tentomon nodded. As he started flying, he began to sniff, "Well, I could smell fresh water."
"There's no such thing as sniffing fresh water," said Tanya.
"Um, trust me," said Tentomon, "I can tell what water smells like."
He flew up toward the tree tops. His eyes began flashing as he saw the lake right in front of him, "We are a half a mile to the lake."
"Great," said Kim, "I can't walk anymore."
Gomamon, who was sitting there was ready to dash. As he went to jump, Tanya grabbed his tail. She smacked on the ground with Gomamon smacking the ground on hard impact.
"Hold it!" yelled Tanya, "You're not going anywhere."
"Look," said Adam, "Everybody is tired."
"And hungry," said Rocky, "Maybe Dragon Eye Lake would have those needs."
Tommy nodded, "True."
Tanya turned around, "Then, guys. What are we waiting for? Let's set up camp!"
Five minutes later, we reach the lake. However, there was something weird about it. Yes, the lake was all pretty and all. But, there were telephone poles that struck out of it. Some of them had other cable like towers. It was very curious because it reminded me of the telephone booths that stood on the beach earlier this morning.
"Amazing!" said Kim.
She walked toward the lake's edge, "Perfect place to camp. Does that mean we will have to sleep outdoors?"
"Most likely," said Tommy.
"Oh man," said Kim.
Suddenly, there was a little earthquake underneath us. As I looked up, I noticed a land bridge forming from where we were straight toward the middle of the lake. Instantly, a cable car appeared.
"No way," said Aisha.
"Why is there a cable car in the middle of nowhere?" asked Tanya.
"Maybe someone's inside?" asked Rocky, "Look!"
Turning around, I noticed that the lights automatically came on. It only led to one thing: someone was in the cable car. The seven of us, plus the Digimon ran into the cable car. As Rocky opened the door, he stood there in shock. It was completely empty.
"Wow," said Rocky.
"It's completely deserted," said Aisha.
"But, it looks brand new. No crumbs or any bacteria accumulated on this," said Billy.
"However, the cushions are comfy and since this train is brand new, I won't have to worry," said Kim.
Tanya sighed, "First phone booths, now a cable car… how strange."
"Regardless," said Aisha, "We can't move the car, but this place would be awesome to sleep in."
"Agreed," said Rocky.
I walked into the cable car and yawned, "I think it's time for some food. Anybody with me?"
Five minutes later…
Gomamon was taking a nice swim across the lake. As he swam back and forth, Billy and Tommy were fishing using a big fat branch and a white string with at least a couple of pieces of leftover food we had earlier. However, they weren't catching fish. Why? Gomamon was swimming right were their rods are.
"Ugh," said Billy, "Can you swim somewhere else? I'm trying to get some fish here."
While that was happening, I noticed Tentomon found a lot of grapes. Agumon and Patamon stood together as Patamon shot a Boom Bubble at a couple of Bananas. Poor Gabumon, a banana was sliced through his horn and Kim and Palmon were grabbing mushrooms. Specifically, mushrooms that were healthy to consume while Biyomon grabbed fruit with her beak. While that was happening, Aisha, and Tanya got the firewood. I put them into place. Now, the only question was? How to start the fire?
"Anybody have a match?" I asked.
Suddenly, Agumon stood there, releasing a Pepper Breath. The fire began to ignite on the firewood.
"Whoops," I said, "I forgot."
"Good job," said Rocky.
As Agumon smiled, Billy and Tommy came with the fish. Rocky grabbed at least one with his hands and he put it over the flames. I poked a stick through the fish and I put the fish to the flames.
"Rocky, want to use a stick? It's easier," I said, "And also, you don't get burned."
Rocky sighed as he grabbed a stick, "Thanks, Adam."
"No problem," I said.
As the night continued on, it seemed that everyone was enjoying their meals. We all ate a lot. After all, we were exposed to so much stuff since this morning. I looked up to see Rocky and Aisha, who finished eating. The two of them were sitting at the lake's edge, talking.
"So," said Rocky, "I wonder if we can ever save the world from Rita and Zedd?"
"We will," she said, "But, we have to get out of here first."
"First?" asked Rocky, "Oh yeah."
Rocky looked to his right. Tanya was standing, looking at the sky.
"You seem lost," said Rocky, "What's up?"
Tanya sighed, "Is it just me or the North Star is not present?"
Aisha looked up, "You're right. Look at all of those constellations. They are all different. But, we could be in the Southern Hemisphere."
"I doubt it," said Tanya, "The Southern Cross is not there to prove it."
"So, I guess we're just going in random directions," said Rocky, sighing, "Okay."
Tommy turned around. It seems that Patamon was about to fall asleep.
"Sleepy?" asked Tommy.
Patamon nodded as it dozed off. Soon, Gomamon and Palmon also dozed off into a dreamy state.
"I guess we should all get shut eye," said Tommy, yawning.
"However," said Billy, "We should have one person keep watch."
Kim nodded, "The girls will stay out of this one, right?"
"Yep," said Tommy, "So…"
Kim sighed, "Too bad there are no sheets."
Rocky laughed, "Gabumon?"
Gabumon turned around. He looked at him with curiosity and I looked up. I had a feeling that Gabumon was going to have a problem. Indeed, I was right. Rocky was lifting up Gabumon's fur. I had to stand up.
"Can we borrow your fur? I always wanted to see your true self," said Rocky.
I released Gabumon and looked at Rocky, "Rocky, he doesn't want to. And he doesn't like it."
Rocky gave me a look. I was serious. However, the Red Ranger laughed and said, "Take a chill pill, bro."
Tanya sighed, "Alright, so who's up first?"
"My shift is now," said Rocky.
"I'm next," I said.
"I'm third," said Billy.
"I'm last," said Tommy.
"Alright," said Tanya, "Now, to the cable car."
As we all piled into the cable car, the Digimon were sleeping on grass beds while we were all sitting on the couch. Kim was lying down on Tommy's lap and looked at the rest, "Guys, it seems that I love beds more than cushions."
"Look at it this way," said Billy, "We got some place to sleep."
"Yep," said Aisha, "Good night."
"Good night!" said everybody else.
I could tell from everybody. We hoped for the following things: One, we all hoped for no Digimon to come up and attack us during our slumber. Two, we needed showers. Three, tomorrow is going to be a long day and we hope all will be fine. And finally, hopefully we can get out alive. I began to drift off, however, my eyes were wide open. I looked at the stars. I had a slight feeling in my stomach. Like, I was feeling nervous about something. Something was on my mind. Carefully, I climbed out of the car and looked at the waters. Gabumon also appeared.
"Why can't you sleep?" he asked.
"Nothing," I said, "Just thinking about life. Why don't you go back to the others?"
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.
"You are too shy," I said.
When I said that, Gabumon turned around, "Look who's talking? It takes one to no one."
Before I said anything, Gabumon walked back inside the cable car. I sighed as I continued walking. As I kept walking, I noticed Rocky and Agumon yawning as they set up a fire and watch the moonlight.
"You know," said Agumon, "What's the point of keeping watch if you fall asleep?"
"Good point," said Rocky, "I want to sleep… but not now. I think I need to wash my face."
As he walked, he stepped on something red, which caused a minor disruption. However, no one could feel it. I was standing, watching the moon hit the water. As I turned around, it seemed that Rocky was watching.
"Ugh, you have another hour," said Rocky, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry," I said, "I was out of line. I guess it's because I was trying to defend him and such…"
"Hey," said Rocky, "I understand. "
I nodded. As I walked across the land bridge, I looked down. At my feet, there was this harmonica. It was black with silver edges. As I picked it up, I began to play. I didn't know how to play it, but I seemed to be good with it. Rocky was watching me from the distance as I kept playing it. I turned to my right. Gabumon was there, watching me play the tune. However, I had the slightest gut feeling that my peaceful tune was going to end. Rocky did something with the fire. As he placed a stick into the flames, a piece flew out and landed on the red spot next to him. Now, the shaking in the lake has went from minor to major.
"Oh boy," I said.
Standing up, I noticed a water cyclone building up. As the cyclone diminished, I gasped. A sea serpent appeared. It had a yellow face with a teal body and it was screaming.
"Good job, Rocky," said Agumon.
"Damn," said Rocky, "Not good."
Inside the cable car, the rest of the team woke up. Apparently, their sleep was also interrupted by the power of this powerful beast. The four rangers were sitting there, scared out of their minds with the Digimon next to them.
"I was having such a good sleep!" said Kim, "Damn earthquake."
"That was no earthquake," said Tanya.
"What's going on?" asked Tommy.
Aisha looked across, "Oh no, another monster."
"Another Digimon?" asked Billy.
"Yes, Seadramon!" yelled Tentomon.
DIGIMON ANALYZER
Name: Seadramon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Data
Attacks: Ice Arrow
"Seadramon is a Digimon that looks like a Dragon," said Tentomon, "However, we need to get out of here or we are going to be destroyed by his Ice Arrow attack."
"Ice Arrow?" yelled the rangers.
"Yeah," said Tentomon, "Its finisher."
Seadramon roared as it swam. It was so powerful, that it broke the land bridge. I watched as Seadramon dragged the island with him. It seemed that whatever Rocky did, it caused Seadramon to awaken.
"What did you do?" asked Tentomon.
"I may have been responsible for the awakening of Seadramon," said Rocky, "An ember landed on his tail."
"WHAT?" yelled Billy and Tentomon, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"
Suddenly, the red tail that was attached to the island broke off. Seadramon screamed as he looked at Rocky, Billy, Agumon, and Tentomon. With its tail, he smacked the four of them on the ground. He then flew into the lake. He swam so fast, that he smacked into the island. The rangers were screaming, along with the Digimon as the island smacked into the telephone poles. Quickly, I dove into the lake.
"My fur…," grumbled Gabumon, "Okay."
I was swimming as fast I can to get to the island and Gabumon was also behind me. While I was swimming, Rocky and the others looked at each other. None of them were hurt, but they were quite upset that Rocky awakened the beast. Tommy stood in front of them.
"Alright," said Tommy, "Digimon, attack!"
"We know," said Patamon, "We got this!"
Biyomon began to create a green whirlwind attack, "Spiral Twister!"
"Boom Bubble!" yelled Patamon, releasing a bomb of air.
"Super Shocker!" yelled Tentomon, releasing white electric bolts.
"Poison Ivy!" yelled Palmon, stretching out her hands.
"Pepper Breath!" yelled Agumon, releasing a ball of fire into Seadramon. All of the attacks hit. The result was that it didn't affect anybody.
"Damn," said Tommy, "Rocky, can he?"
Rocky grabbed his Digivice and looked at Agumon, "Can you Digivolve?"
"I was waiting for you to ask me," said Agumon. He began to close his eyes as Rocky's Digivice activated. As it began to glow, Agumon began to glow in orange light. However, it diminished and Agumon collapsed.
"Agumon!" said Rocky, "Are you okay?"
"I can't digivolve," said Agumon, "I don't know why."
"Now's not the good time to tell me," said Rocky.
"HEY GUYS!" I yelled.
The rangers turned around to see me and Gabumon swim for the island.
"Don't come!" yelled Tommy, "Seadramon's here!"
I stopped swimming and I turned to my friend. Gabumon stood there and nodded. He knew I had a plan. It was a bit risky, but it was the only way.
"Yo, ugly!" I yelled, "Over here."
As I swam to the other side with Gabumon behind me, Seadramon dug his tail in the water. As he did that, Gabumon released a blue stream of flames. It was a good direct hit. However, his tail grabbed my chest. I yelled as I was dragged down in the lake and then lifted up, captured.
"ADAM!" yelled Aisha.
"What was he thinking?" asked Tommy, "Now, what can we do?"
"Simple," said Tentomon, "Pray that there's a miracle. Seadramon will now crush Adam's body. He'll be dead within minutes if something's not done!"
Rocky gasped. He turned to me. I was screaming all right. The pressure of my bones was reaching the breaking point and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't morph out, it would be impossible.
"Gabumon," said Tommy, "Our attacks won't work on him, but yours did. Can you stop him?"
"I don't know if I have that much power," said Gabumon. He looked up and turned to Seadramon. I was screaming, feeling more pressure.
"ADAM!" yelled Gabumon.
Suddenly, as I closed my eyes, I felt something jiggle in my right pocket. Something blue was piercing out of my pocket. White light then shot out of my pocket and into the sky. Down below, I opened my eyes. The other rangers looked at Gabumon as he began to glow bright yellow from the white light coming out of my digivice.
"No way," said Rocky, "Another evolution!"
An image of a strong creature appeared in the sky and blue lights surrounded Gabumon as he began to digivolve.
"Gabumon digivolve to… GARURUMON!"
He was a white wolf with blue stripes and had pink nails as claws. His eyes were bright yellow. He was also very fast as well, faster than his rookie form. As Garurumon jumped up, his tail sliced Seadramon's tail, releasing me. I crashed into the ocean. Still feeling every bone, I swam to safety as Garurumon was biting Seadramon. Seadramon's tail crushed Garurumon's face. Garurumon was falling down the water and hitting the seafloor. Getting up from the island, I smacked my body on the ground.
"Adam, you okay?" asked Tommy.
"I'm fine… where is he?" I asked.
I looked up to see Garurumon slicing across the pool with Seadramon trying to bite him. His tail scratched Seadramon's face. Seadramon yelled as he tried another maneuver. Tentomon was jumping up for joy, "Garurumon's fur is sharp as metal."
"Really?" asked Rocky, "And I thought fur was supposed to be cuddly."
"ICE ARROW!" yelled Seadramon.
Opening his mouth, a beam of ice hit Garurumon. I watched as Garurumon became an ice sculpture.
"Don't just sit there," I said, "Finish him!"
Suddenly, Garurumon broke out of his ice sculpture like state and opened his mouth, "Howling Blaster!"
A teal wave of flames came out of his mouth as the Ice Arrow was trying to hit Garurumon. The flames hit Seadramon. Seadramon yelled as he felt the powerful blast. Seadramon yelled as he fell in the ocean, feeling the dreadful impact of the water.
"We did it!" I said.
"Yes!" said the other rangers and Digimon.
Suddenly, a yellow aura surrounded Garurmon as he evolved back into Gabumon. Gabumon swam back to the island. As he got up, we noticed the sky was turning purple with a golden sphere appearing in the east. The sunrise was really beautiful.
"So," I said, "You digivolved just in time."
"Well," said Gabumon, "I loved your harmonica playing and how you dealt with things."
Tanya smiled as she looked at the smoke that was coming out of the lake, "At least we're safe… for now."
"What do we do now?" asked Aisha, "Swim to land?"
Gomamon laughed as he swam in the lake, "I got this. Marching Fishes!"
Suddenly, colorful fish popped out of the lake and gathered at the island. Together, with Gomamon, they pushed the island into the mainland, where the rangers and the Digimon were released. Aisha stretched out her arms as she looked at them, "I'm so tired."
"Really?" asked Billy, "I think all of us are."
Rocky nodded, "Yeah."
"So, why did Gabumon only evolve?" asked Billy.
"Maybe because…," said Rocky, "Because when Agumon evolved, it made sense because I was the one in trouble. They probably only evolve when we get into major deep problems."
"That makes sense," said Aisha.
Suddenly, Aisha felt something behind her. As she turned around, she noticed Kim falling asleep on the grass.
"I think we should get at least two hours of sleep before we continue on," said Tommy.
Agreed, we all decided to sleep. However, I was the only one awake. I was playing with the lost harmonica, trying to learn some new chords and such. As I did so, it seemed Gabumon was next to me, falling asleep. After fifteen minutes, I began to close my eyes and drift into a deep sleep…
