Chapter Forty Three: Beanstalk Village
"Tommy!" We shouted running after them.
They flew off out of reach.
"We'll catch them" Takuya promised.
"I wouldn't do that" A Trailmon said. Four other Trailmons came.
"Hey Trailmons!" Takuya said.
"Tracking them down might be dangerous." A Trailmon said. "You might as well just forget about them." Trailmon said.
"But they're our friends." Takuya said.
"They'll probably send you a post card some day…" Another Trailmon stated.
"Beanstalk village?" Takuya questioned.
"Bingo! What will you call a village with a humongous beanstalk growing right out of a dingy village?" A Trailmon asked rhetorically.
"That's a beanstalk is there a mean giant too?" J.P asked bewildered.
"Maybe it's a magical beanstalk?" I suggested not believing myself.
"Oh J.P. It goes into the clouds." Zoe stated. We stare at the beanstalk in awe.
"Okay Trailmon who wants to be the lucky one to take us to beanstalk village?" Takuya asked. They all seemed reluctant and came up with excuses and started to drive away, we quickly move out of the way not wanting to be run over. "Aw come on, help a buddy out." Takuya whined as the last few disappeared.
"How are we supposed to get there now?" Zoe asked.
We heard some snoring coming from the side. We walked over and saw a worm Trailmon sleeping at the side.
"Sounds like he's counting some sheep" J.P said.
"More like buffalo" Zoe corrected.
"What ever he's counting he's our last chance" Takuya said.
"Rise and shine. All aboard for beanstalk village." J.P yelled at the Trailmon. Takuya skid over and started to tickle Trailmon.
Trailmon hunched over and sneezed both Takuya and J.P away. "Hey! What's that all about? I'm trying to get some shut eye." Trailmon complained. Zoe and I went over and gave it a try.
"I just love how outspoken you are. Do you think a big take charge Trailmon like you could take us out?" Zoe and I flirted. The Trailmon started to blush.
"Oh sure you could just call me 'Wormy'" Trailmon said. J.P had heart eyes while Takuya was disbelieving what he saw and muttered 'Sakura…Zoe…' while blushing a little.
"Actually we could all use your help. We need to get to beanstalk village" Koji said.
"No way. You pretty much scare off my wheels with all the yell and you want me to give you a lift?" Wormy asked.
"It would be nice of you" Takuya said.
"Listen. I never been there and besides I need more rest. It's nap time and don't wake me, good night" Wormy said.
"A moment Mr. Worm, your tag says otherwise." Bokomon said. We stare at the tag which said: Beanstalk Village express train.
"It says you're the Beanstalk Village express, my guess is that you just got a little sleepy and forgot where you're going." Takuya said hitting the target right on. The Trailmon shook off the tag.
"He's a giver" Zoe stated.
"He's all heart." Takuya said sarcastically.
We started giving the train a bath. "Everyone needs a scrub every now and then and you Mr. Worm is no exception." J.P said scrubbing his cheek.
"You have no one fully wash you, you look great." Takuya said cleaning his head. Zoe was cleaning his teeth while I was wiping the space between his eyes.
"You're looking so shiny we might need sun glasses." Zoe said.
"Think of all the compliments you'll get at beanstalk village." Takuya said.
"Hey are you hungry? I have a chocolate bar we can share." J.P offered as Trailmon ate his chocolate bar full. I was grabbing Takuya's waist as he was chewing so I don't fall of and become chow. "The chocolate bar seals the deal for getting us to Beanstalk Village right?" J.P asked.
"You're wrong." Worm the Trailmon said.
"How come?" J.P questioned as Takuya helped me up.
"It's too far" Worm stated.
"Why, you lazy train." J.P started.
"That's it." Worm said driving off. Takuya place his hand around me to secure me on Worm's head so we don't fly off. "Come on you guys get on." Takuya shouted.
Zoe ran beside the door and opens it and jump in. Koji jumped in from the other side. Koji helped Koichi in and came around to look how Zoe is doing. J.P was pulled in.
"Ladies first." Takuya said pointing to the ladder. Takuya and I crawl toward the ladder and I went down first followed by Takuya. We walked in. "Did everyone make it?" Takuya questioned.
"Yeah. Amazing compare to how fast Worm took off." Koji answered.
"At least he calmed down." Takuya said as Worm stepped on the brakes.
We stare at the broken tracks ahead.
"Oh man." Zoe said. "I'll be more than happy to take you to Beanstalk Village if there were tracks. Well I'm tired, time to take a nap" Worm said.
"Well I'm tired of your attitude." J.P said.
"Attitude, smattitude." Worm said. Takuya told us to huddle and started to whisper his plan while Neemon was saying 'good plan' over and over again. "What are you doing?" Worm ask as we split and ran behind Worm.
Takuya, Koji and J.P start tearing up the track. "What are you doing with that? I need that to go back." Worm said unsure and panicky as Takuya, J.P, Koji and Koichi carried the track.
"We need this to build the track ahead." Takuya said.
"And you can't run away now." J.P said.
"Sit tight." Koji said. "
This will just take a moment." Zoe said.
"Relax, everything will be alright." I said.
Takuya fasten the rope to the tracks. "Next one." He called as Zoe passed him a pile of rope.
"Neemon how'd you get tangle up in this?" I asked untangling the rope and him.
Koji tried carrying a plank of wood but it was too heavy and was almost crush under it but Koichi helped him. Takuya went to get a pile of rope as Zoe helped me untangle Neemon, and Patamon from the rope.
"Hey human." Worm called.
"Hm, what Worm?" Takuya asked.
"Tell me. Why are you guys so hot to get to beanstalk village?" Worm asked.
"We got to help our other friends who got snatch up by the royal knights. They were heading towards Beanstalk village." Takuya answered.
"And they have an even bigger task: saving the digital world. Without these brave humans our world will already be gone." Bokomon added.
"What a useless cause." Worm said.
"What?" We asked bewildered.
"Sooner or later the Royal Knights will turn everything into data. Everyday I see piece of the digital world turn into data. The track I run on is starting to look like Swiss cheese, and my friends, I'll tell you all the times my boilers starts boiling every time I think about my friends that went down for the count. Let's face it, your friends probably already been scanned. You might as well pack it in" Worm said. The thought of losing everyone I every met either human or digimon made me sad.
"Takuya…" Zoe said seeing Takuya still working on tearing a track off by himself.
"Didn't you hear anything I said?" Worm asked.
"Tommy, Katsuhara and the others are waiting for us to rescue them. I am not going to let them down. If we believe in them we will win. We'll do whatever we can to save this world right?" Takuya asked. Zoe nodded.
"That's right" J.P said as we all ran up to Takuya.
"Come on let's face it. The digital world is kinda like our second home." Takuya said.
"Yea" We said agreeing.
"You guys think this is your second home? You're going to save this world? You kids have a lot of guts but how can you save this place?" Worm asked touched. "I don't have a set plan, but if we humans and you digimon work together, we can save the digital world, and you'll be running through the world that is in one piece." Takuya said.
"When you put it that way, I'll take you there." Worm said.
"You're really going to take us all the way?" Zoe and I asked.
"What about shutting me up before we go?" Worm asked blushing.
"Not likely" J.P said elbowing Worm.
We all aboard Worm as he back up a little and charged forward jumping over the cliff.
"Now Worm's on our side this will make smoother." Takuya said as the train starts tilting to the side.
"Wha?" I asked grabbing the window and sitting down. The train went up a loopy loop. I start to slide down on the seat. I grab the railing and fell upside down.
"I didn't know this was coming do you?" Takuya asked.
"I should have taken a plane." J.P complained.
"This is why I didn't want to go to Beanstalk village; it's one of the roughest tracks in the whole digital world." Worm said.
"That will explain why the other Trailmon wouldn't give us a ride." Zoe said as she grabbed on to the window frame. J.P crashed into her as the trail tipped. I grabbed the window trying to sit up properly.
"Petal to the metal time." Worm said we started to fall all over the place. Takuya was upside down on the floor. J.P lay on the floor. Zoe was squish to the side. Patamon was upside down in the middle. Koji, Koichi and I were on the roof.
We charged forward at Dynasmon and Crusadermon who was going for Katsuhara's digicode.
"Katsuhara. Tommy" Takuya said slamming open the door just as Worm stopped. I held onto the train a while waiting for the dizziness to stop.
"We're all okay." Tommy said and a Mamemon destroy the fabric wrapped around Tommy.
"You alright?" Zoe asked as I jumped from the open door hearing Patamon say 'fun train'.
"Yea." Tommy nodded. Crusadermon sent a yellow strip at us, but Worm burned it away. "Takuya, Koji you have to do it, you two are the only one strong enough." J.P said. They nodded.
"Ice into fire." Tommy said.
"Wind into fire." Zoe said.
"Thunder into Light." J.P said.
"Darkness into light." Koichi said.
"Kū (sky) into fire. Kū (Void) into light" I said.
The two unity evolved to MagnaGarurumon and EmperorGreymon.
"Pryo dragons" EmperorGreymon said and summoned eight dragons charging for the royal knights.
"Dragon thrower" Dynasmon said firing two beams from his palms. They cancel each other out.
"Magna rockets" MagnaGarurumon said firing rockets at Crusadermon who just twirl around and destroy the rockets. "Magna missiles" he said firing and was destroyed by yellow ribbons. Tommy, Katsuhara, Teppei, Chiaki, Teruo gasped that it had no damage.
"Tommy, hurry let's get these Mamemons on board." J.P said.
Tommy and the others did as instructed and helped the injured on board. "Hurry up" Bokomon said lifting them on Worm.
"Spiral Masquerade" Crusadermon said cutting part of MagnaGarurumon's armor off and grabbing Koichi.
"Koichi" MagnaGarurumon shouted.
"Koichi. No" Zoe said.
"Stop. Don't you hurt him." MagnaGarurumon commanded.
"What? I see, you can not attack because you wish to help this human." Crusadermon laughed tightening the ribbon around Koichi. EmperorGreymon went to help but was held back by Dynasmon.
"Let him go you, witch" MagnaGarurumon said.
"How dare you." Crusadermon said stretching his ribbon towards MagnaGarurumon.
"Crystal Sphere" I said making a crystallite sphere around MagnaGarurumon that was slice by the ribbons.
"What's this? Another digimon to scan, how beautiful." Crusadermon said.
Mamemon jumped onto Crusadermon distracting her. MagnaGarurumon grab his saber and sliced Koichi's bandages and caught him. The two of them had a brother to brother moment. "Ah brotherly love is grand." Crusadermon said.
"I think her helmet is on too tight" J.P stated.
Dynasmon pin EmperorGreymon to the beanstalk.
"Lord Lucemon's calling no time to dawdle." Crusadermon said.
"Then let's finish this." Dynasmon replied.
"Fist of Athena" Crusadermon said charging for MagnaGarurumon.
"Crystal Sphere" I said make two more shields for MagnaGarurumon and three for EmperorGreymon. "Izuna" I said and told one fox to stay with EmperorGreymon, one to stay with MagnaGarurumon and one to stay with the gang while the last stood attacked. Crusadermon broke through one shield which I would quickly replace.
"DNA disintegrator" Dynasmon said attacking EmperorGreymon with high speed that the shield didn't have enough time to build.
"Amethyst Mandala." I said making a ring around Dynasmon. He broke it quite easily.
"Seems like we need to get rid of you first." Dynasmon said.
"Risking your own live to save those of your friends, worthless but somewhat beautiful." Crusadermon said. "Scarlet Tempest." Crusadermon said throwing a rose that made into a tornado.
"Amethyst Winds" I said summoning winds that contain many purple shards that slice the rose petals.
I heard a fox whine then disperse into mist. I quickly turn around to see Dynasmon right in front of me. "DNA disintegrator." Dynasmon said attacking me. I crash into the beanstalk. Two rings of data showed one ahead of mine, it was Relemons' and the second one was mine.
"Ah such beautiful data, I'll be happy to take it from you." Crusadermon said.
"Sakura" I heard someone shout and the humans grew scared.
"What you stand in our way again?" I heard Crusadermon ask.
"We're not going to let you take anyone's data." MagnaGarurumon said.
"Not as long as we're alive." EmperorGreymon added.
"Then be gone. DNA disintegrator" Dynasmon said attacking EmperorGreymon as Relemon's code went back to her. "Fist of Athena" Crusadermon shouted and attack MagnaGarurumon as my code went back.
I fell down from the beanstalk.
Cruasdermon advanced forward ready to take both digimon fractal codes. "Stop, the key you seek is at the top-"Stop" I shouted at Mamemon only to have the ribbon fabric wrap around my mouth. "of the beanstalk, the yellow card. Once you take it the data will be unlock." The elder Mamemon continued.
Dynasmon flew up there and collected the data while EmperorGreymon grabbed me and we ran away from the disappearing ground.
"It's all gone." Takuya said.
"Now Katsuhara you and your friends must go home." Elder said.
"Not when you're like this, we'll take you with us and find you a home there," Katsuhara said.
"No the digital world is our home, our village may be lost but we'll prosper a new one with this seed. It might grow as tall as the one you planted." Elder said holding a yellow seed. "Losing our village is nothing compared to losing one of our friends, then we'll truly be at loss." Elder said.
"Bye guys." Zoe said.
"Mmm mmm mm!" I scream at the stupid fabric around my mouth and everyone started to laugh. "Mm mff muf mf?" I questioned. "Mfff" I demanded angry.
"Here" Katsuhara said pulling on the fabric while I pull away. It didn't break.
"MMMMMM" I screamed.
Koji came and pull the fabric a bit down. "Bite and rip" He commanded and I bit on it and try pulled it ripped a bit and I continued to rip until it was lose enough for me to pull it down.
"Bye" I said finally able to talk and everyone started to laugh. "What's so funny?" I asked.
When everyone was done laughing they board the train and Tommy shoved Katsuhara in. "Bye." we shouted waving at the train and everyone else. After they left I got scolded by both Takuya and Koji and I started to wish I had the fabric back on.
