Chapter 3: Meet the new Digimon Part 2
Diamond: Hey guys, it Dia. So last time Gold and Platinum woke up and found themselves in a strange world, or the Digital World according to a grumpy ExVeemon, who tried to attack the two. Unlucky for him, they found their partners and were able to have them digivolve. From what I know, it's called the Champion stage. Then they managed quite an easy escape with a 2-on-1 deal. If I'm a Digidestined, I wonder who my partner is...

Crystal woke up as though she was merely fast asleep on her bed. But she wasn't. She stood up and looked around her settings. "Where am I?" She thought aloud. She was standing on a beach next to a vast ocean, something she knew she should be far from. The sky was a perfect blue with practically no clouds in the sky. The water was a very deep blue. She looked down at herself and noticed that her clothes had changed. A lot. She was now wearing short blue overalls over a red hooded shirt, knee socks and red shoes, and a white hat with a red bow.
She turned around and nearly fell backwards in shock. She could see plainly a forest on an elevated plain above the beach. The forest was green and flourishing with life. But the life wasn't exactly anything you'd find in the human world. She decided to look around the beach before going off into the woods. Close by she found Diamond sleeping soundly with new clothes too. He had a blue jacket and a white scarf over what he was originally wearing but he now had black pants rather than blue, his red hat, and his shoes which he took off a while ago. "Diamond." Kris said. (A.N.: Crystal's nickname will now be dubbed as 'Kris' for reasons that involve spell check).
Diamond just let out a little groan. "Diamond!" Kris said a bit louder. Once again he groaned. And he made a bit of a shooing motion with his hand. She was now getting mad. She took her right leg and kicked him hard in the gut. He went rolling and flopped on the ground a bit before finally sprawling awake.
"OW!" He said. But it was with.. a smirk? Was he faking being asleep? "Ticked off much?"
"Oh, you have no idea..." Kris pouted.
"Mind me asking, but what's with the 'Hildy the Milkmaid' outfit?" (A.N.: I saw this on deviantart, so props to you artist for this joke.)
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Kris yelled. "I happen to like this outfit OK?"
"Alright alright! Don't kill me!" Diamond pleaded as he stood up and dusted himself off, nothing the adjustment to his clothes too. "Well, I have to say, I'm really enjoying these clothes."
"See, now you understand why I like mine?"
"I guess so. But something doesn't add up... Why are we even wearing these clothes? And where are we? We were just in my room, weren't we?"
"Um... I can't explain this all. My head is literally spinning at that..." Kris sighed in defeat.
"Would it be a good choice to look around the beach for clues?" Diamond asked.
"I guess so. Though if this is some trick to find a hot dog stand I swear-"
"Geez. You can read me like a book can you?"
"Well, yeah. But it's obvious right. Anyway I think we should look around, and we might find it along the way~." Kris said in a sly tone.
"I'm in!" Diamond nearly jumped up in glee.
"But only if you can be really serious!"
"Pfft, I can be serious. I simply choose not too."
"...Right... Anyway, all set?"
"Yes!"
'I get the feeling he's only helping to try and find food...'
The duo walked along the ocean of the beach and found ripped pieces of rope and wood, and teared up fabric here and there. "What happened here?" Kris asked.
"A ship must've been in some kind of accident."
"How can you tell?"
"There's a wrecked ship up ahead." Diamond pointed over and not too far away was the remains of what appeared to be a wooden ship.
"Oh no! Some people could be hurt, let's go check it out."
"Right." The duo raced off toward the remains and searched everywhere. "Hey, I think I found something!" Diamond said. Kris rushed over to right beside him.
"What is it?"
"Look. Inside there's someone trapped under all the debris." They were peering in through a window on the side of the remaining boat. Diamond was right, there was someone trapped underneath all of the rubble. It was a human like figure buried underneath all the remains inside.
"We have to go inside and help them!" Kris shouted. She went over to a nearby opening and tried to pull the figure out from under his imprisonment.
"Kris. I appreciate you wanting to help, but I think our problems are about to get worse." Dia said as he looked out into the ocean. He saw something swimming very fast toward their location. Dia ran inside. "Don't make a sound. Promise?"Kris nodded. The two ducked underneath the window. They could hear the splashing of the waves getting louder and louder as whatever was in the ocean drew closer. The waves finally stopped the moment they heard a skid across the sand.
"Now stay absolutely silent..." Dia went on. Now footsteps were making their way toward the boat area.
"I think they're in here," Said a man's voice.
"You sure?" Replied a slightly higher voice.
"They don't call me 'Ole Reliable Joe' for nothing! And besides, what if someone is still alive in these remains? We can't just leave them here Gomamon."
"Wait... I know those names from anywhere..." Dia whispered, "They're from the best novel series ever made..."
"Diamond?" Kris asked in a hushed voice, "Keep your voice down. We'll get-"
"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Dia accidentally shouted. But he quickly put his hands over his mouth.
"Did you hear that?" 'Joe' asked, "It definitely came from in here." The man stepped in to find Dia and Kris sitting right there, just staring blankly at him. Dia still had his hands over his mouth. "Who are you two kids?" the man asked.
"Well, it's a long story. But can we please get the person from under the rubble out."
"What?!" Joe exclaimed.
"There's. A person. Under. The pile of rubble." Dia said slowly and carefully.
"Then help him." Said another voice. The two kids looked down to notice a white creature with what appeared to be an orange Mohawk and purple spots.
"I agree." Joe went on, completely ignoring the awe on Dia's face and curiosity on Kris's. "OK, I'll use this wooden board to lift up a good portion of the rubble. Then you two have to pull him out got it?"
"Right." The two kids said. Joe did what he said and jammed the wood between two pieces. He pushed down like on a lever and some of the pile lifted up. Diamond and Crystal took haste in dragging out the unconscious person. Joe then let the pile drop. Joe then picked up the man and carried him out, only to reveal that he was not a man, but a mon.
"Who's he?" Kris asked, "He doesn't look very human..." She was right. The digimon had a blue face but with no visible mouth. He had an eye patch over his right eye, a red over coat with golden yellow buttons, white baggy pants and black boots. He had a gun tied to his waist. And one of his hands were missing.
"I know him." Gomamon said, "He's Hookmon. A Champion level Pirate Digimon. He's a very dangerous mon if you get on the wrong side with him. Especially with the Super Shooter attack."
"Hey, what happened to his hand?" Diamond asked. "It looks like it was torn off..."
"It be..."
"I think he's waking up!" Kris said.
"It be... A great white Whamon..."
"What? Whamon stole your hand?" Diamond said, as if he's been saying the names of Digimon for a while.
"Aye. You're very kind lads and lass."
"Don't worry, we'll get you fixed up. So just take it easy." Joe said in a calming tone.
Brief time Skip
After taking care of his hand with a suitable 'replacement', being a hook, Joe pulled the two kids aside and left Gomamon to look after his patient. "Ok so just who are you two exactly?"
"My name's Diamond Lucas." Dia said in a calm tone, "It's nice to meet you Mr. Kido."
"My name's Crystal Kotone." (Lyra's japanese name since Kris's japanese name is 'Kris'.)
"Well, that's one mystery solved, but how do you two know me?"
"Oh, I have no idea who you are." Kris said
"But aren't you in that novel when seven kids go to a summer camp and end up in a Digital World?" Dia asked.
"Ah. I see now. You've read the novel. And I can tell you liked it."
"Heck yes!" Dia exclaimed, "I always hoped one day I can go on some epic journey ever since I was younger!Like in all of the TV shows and books I watch and read!"
"Well, Let me tell you know: It's not a lot of fun. It's hard work that you have to put the effort into it. Being a Digidestined's not an easy job."
"I understand. But we're not Digidestined. We don't have Digivices or partner Digimon, so how can we even be here?"
"Well, when put that way..."
"Hey um... Just because we're not Digidestined doesn't mean we can't help out. We're here now. That's what counts." Kris pointed out.
"I really appreciate the optimism from you two, but what if a bad Digimon attacks?"
The two kids hadn't considered that. Joe had a point, sure they could help around, but what if they were attacked? What would happen then. They were looking crestfallen. "Hey, listen. I know it's a bit sad to know the truth, but-" The water somehow erupted a geyser of water. "Huh?!"
From the water emerged a gigantic spiky shell. From the shell emerged a pink dragon like beast from it with green tentacles as hair. "Shellmon?! Oh out of all the places to be, it had to be here..."
"What's going on? Is this Shellmon's territory?!" Dia asked worried.
"Seems so..." Joe replied. "Gomamon, you can take care of him right? Digivolve!" Joe pulled out a strange device from his pocket and held it up. But the device was knocked away in a stream of water from Shellmon. Before Gomamonhad a chance to react, Shellmon struck him down with a torrent of water.
"What are we gonna do?!" Kris asked.
"Super Shooter!" Hookmon cried. A ball of fire came out of his gun and struck Shellmon square in the face.
"Hookmon! You can't fight him!" Joe shouted out to the wounded Digimon. "You'll lose for sure! Where's my Digivice?" Joe panicked and looked all over the ground for his small Digivice.
"Get for cover you two!" Hookmon shouted over to Diamond and Crystal.
"But what about you?!" Dia shouted over to the Digimon, "We can't just leave-"
"Just do it!" Joe shouted, cutting off Dia's protests. No longer wanting to procrastinate and risk getting in the way, Kris grabbed Dia's arm and started to run away from the area. To where, no clue in her mind. Just running down the beach made top of the priority list right now for Kris.
"Where are we going?!" Dia shouted.
"Someplace where we won't get in the way like... That cave!" Kris pointed off into the distance. She guided/dragged Dia to the cave. Once they were inside the cave, Kris let go of Dia and sat down to catch her breath. Dia followed in suit and stood by a wall. "We'll be safe in here..." Kris panted.
"Yeah, but what are we gonna do? Just sit around and let them get owned by some overgrown shell? We have to think of something..." Dia stated.
"I wish we could..."
"Hmm... Huh?" Dia looked over in the distance and found some sort of table like structure resting on the other side of the cave. "What's that over there?" Dia walked over to the rock and found two all grey D-3 Digivices lying there. "Kris! Come over here! They're Digivices!"
"What? You mean like those the Digidestined kids have?"
"The same." Kris went over to Dia and looked at the devices too. "So, think they're for us?"
"Wouldn't hurt to try right?" Kris asked. Dia and Kris touched the Digivices and they began to glow two shades of blue, Kris's slightly lighter than Dia's, but both were similar in a way. The light then died down back to the light of the cave. "What the heck was that?"
"I don't know... Maybe the Digivices reacted to our touch... Hey! Look!" Both Digivices were now resting in their hands, now a white in the middle and that same blue on the gripper parts that glowed when the duo touched them. "I wonder what gave them a jump start."
"Why that's a stupid question. You did." The two kids turned to find to dragon like creatures standing right next to them. Next to Diamond, was a red dragon like dinosaur with amber eyes and a white underbelly. The Digimon was almost as tall as Diamond was and had black hazard marks with a circle around them on his stomach, snout, arms and feet. (Tamers fans can guess who.) This is the Digimon known as Guilmon.
The other ,standing next to Kris, was a dragon Digimon with purple fur and similar amber eyes to Guilmon. He stood about up to her knees and had purple and white fur. On his forehead he had a red stone in the shape of a triangle. This one was Dorumon.
"Woah... Talk about amazing!" Diamond exclaimed excitedly.
"Nice to finally get to talk to you Dia-mon-d. I'm Guilmon, and I'm very happy to finally meet you."
"Hey, it's great to finally stretch. And it's all thanks to you Kris." Dorumon said to Crystal.
"Aw. Why you're welcome." Kris said in a flattered tone.
"Say, Dorumon and Guilmon was it? We've got a bit of a problem with our friends, think you can help us out?" Dia asked.
"Of course. Being your partners means sticking by your side no matter what happens." Dorumon answered.
"Great! Let's go back out onto the beach and help the others!" Dia said. He was about to take off when Kris grabbed his arm.
"Hold on," She said, "Are you sure we should go back there? I mean, we were told to run away and-"
"What are you saying?!" Dia shouted at her, "We saved Hookmon from dying under rubble, now your suggesting we leave him to die again?! And Joe! We need to go and help him and Gomamon!"
"He'll be fine. Gomamon can digivolve-"
"Not without the Digivice! He needs that and Joe lost it! They need us and you know it! Why are you so stubborn?!" Kris remained silent. She didn't want to say anything at the obviously now mad Diamond. This was a rare case for him. When he was mad, it was serious.
"You're right..." Kris stated softly, "Let's go."
Back at the ship remains, Shellmon was doing away with Joe, Gomamon, and Hookmon. They weren't putting up much of a fight the way they were going.
"What are we gonna do?" Joe asked, still trying to find his missing Digivice. "Without the Digivice we're done for."
"Now don't give up Joe," Gomamon said, "I'm sure there's a way. Try calling to the others for help. Or even pray those two kids pull of a miracle."
"Don't start joking with me now Gomamon." Joe said.
"No I'm serious, they're really great kids. Maybe they'll find help. You never know."
"Aye!" Hookmon shouted "Now ain't the time ta be flabbin those lips." Hookmon sent another shot and hit Shellmon. It was starting to become ineffective and Shellmon was brushing it off. Shellmon fired another blast of water from it's head and sent Hookmon flying, unable to continue.
"Oh no Hookmon!" Joe cried.
"Uh, Joe... I think you might wanna move." Gomamon stated. Joe turned his focus back to Shellmon as the Digimon tried to hit Joe with another blast of water.
"Metal Cannon!" Cried a voice. A sphere of iron went flying and hit Shellmon square in the jaw.
"Joe!" Cried out to familiar voices. Joe looked off to see Diamond and Kris accompanied by Guilmon and Dorumon.
"See! I told you they could pull of something great!" Gomamon said.
"I guess so..." Joe said in disbelief.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon shot a ball of fire at Shellmon. It was hit pretty hard in the face.
"It's working!" Kris cheered.
"You think you're the only ones with friends?" Shellmon asked.
"Huh?!" Dia replied. Shellmon did some type of whistle and from the water came some type of giant prawn and the other being a white squid like Digimon. "Who are they?!"
"They're my friends of course! Ebidramon and Gesomon! Now you'll pay for trespassing into my territory!" Shellmon replied.
"Hey, we don't even know why we're here in the first place!" Kris said, "So it's especially rude to just go around and attacking people who just walk on by!"
"Kris!" Joe called out. "Now's not the time to be talking about manners! Now's a time you should know!"
"He's right." Diamond said, "Like this we're done for. Time to try and see if we can pull off Digivolving our Digimon. Ready?"
"Mhm!" Kris said. "Quick! Digivolve!" They both cried.
Their Digivices began to glow along with their Digimon. Guilmon and Dorumon both began to take a slightly altered shape. And they were getting bigger too.
"Dorumon digivolve to... Dorugamon!"
"Guilmon digivolve to... Growlmon!" When the Digimon digivolution process ended, there stood the newly digivolved forms of Guilmon and Dorumon. Growlmon just looked like Guilmon, but bigger with white hair and a blade on each of his arms. Dorugamon looked like a cross between Dorumon and a certain wolf Digimon. He was all black (Save for the muzzle) with stripes of blue across his body. He had long red claws on his hands and feet and Dorugamon now had wings.
"Let's do this guys!" Kris shouted with enthusiasm and determination. She got onto Dorugamon's back.
"Hang on Kris. But are you sure-"
"I'm sure! Just go already!" With those words Dorugamon flapped his wings a few times and actually managed to get in the air. They began to fly toward the trio of 'friends'.
"Cannonball!" Dorugamon cried as he sent an iron sphere out toward the three Digimon, which exploded.
"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon cried. He sent a huge roar of fire out toward the sea Digimon, burning the three sea Digimon.
"L-let's get out of here!" Ebidramon said weakly.
"I agree! I heard of over kill, but this is ridiculous." Gesomon added. The three Digimon retreated under the water.
"Well, that wasn't much of a fight." Diamond said as the Digimon de-digivolved back into there Rookie forms.
"We got off easy." Joe said.
"Hookmon!" Kris cried! "Are you gonna be alright?!"
"I be ok enough to live... Don't worry yourselves..."
"That's good..." Kris said. "Hmm... I wonder if the others are here in the Digital World too..."
"Others? You mean there's more kids?" Joe asked.
"About 4 more I believe." Diamond said. "Well, Mr. Kido, it was a pleasure meeting you. Now we have people to find. And I hope you find your Digivice."
"Thank you. And good luck on your quest. Trust me, sometimes you'll need it.
That's a wrap. But where are the other Digidestined you may ask. That will be revealed next chapter.
