Thank you so much for the Follws and favorite this story has gotten:) I can't believe so many people liked it.
The kids and their digimon are falling from the cliff through the air.
"Sora!"Biyomon shouted
"Izzy!"Tentomon shouted
"T.K.!"Patamon cried
The three flying digimon desperately grab onto their human friends and fly hard to keep them from falling, but the combined weight is too much, and they all continue falling. Palmon, holding tightly to Mimi, whips out a Poison Ivy attack, clinging to a rock jutting from the cliff face. The rock comes loose from the wall, and follows Palmon and Mimi as they fall. Renamon grabs Melody and holds her bridal style then jumps slowly down the mountain. Gomamon and Joe are the first to hit the water below.
"Fish net!"Gomamon shouted
Around Gomamon, hundreds of fish surface and swim together, forming a floating raft which picks Joe out of the water and catches the others as they land. Renamon seeing there was a safe place to land jump down to the fish and let Melody down. Tai shot her a dirty look which Melody ignored.
"Wow. This is some ride."Tai said
"What? Hey, look out!"Matt said
From far above them, the Kuwagamon falls from the cliff as well, and takes a large part of the rocky edge with him. The kids scream as the boulders and the larger digimon fall toward them.
"Look out!"Gomamon shouted
The fish raft moves faster, and the beetle monster and the boulders splash into the water behind them. The impact sends huge waves at the raft, and the kids and their digimon hang on, screaming. Melody was gripping tightly onto Tai who was holding on for dear life. The group rests on the beach, safe at last.
"I knew we'd be okay. I wasn't worried."Matt said
"Well, what was that? A floating fish market?"Joe replied
"Lucky for us, those fish were having a school reunion. Ha ha! I'm kidding. Those fish are good friends of mine, and I just asked them for a lift."Gomamon said
"And all these years I thought I was allergic to seafood! Thank you! Uh, I guess it's not Bukamon?"Joe said
"Gomamon, now."Gomamon said
"Gomamon, hmm."Joe replied
"And I guess that you're not Tokomon, are you?"T.K. asked
"Mm mm! Now I'm Patamon."Patamon replied
"It's all because we digivolved."Agumon said
"I don't think that word's in my dictionary."Tai replied
"So digivolving is what happens when they advance to the next level and become more powerful than before."Izzy said
"Right! All of us digivolved. I went from Motimon to Tentomon."Tentomon said
"I digivolved from Yokomon to Biyomon."Biyomon said
"First, I was Tsunomon, then Gabumon."Gabumon said
"And I changed from Tanemon to Palmon."Palmon said
"And me, I was Koromon. I digivolved into Agumon."Agumon said
Melody looked at Renamon who was walking beside her quietly. She was sure different from the cute little Viximon that would sit on her shoulder.
"So you digivoled from Viximon to Renamon..."Melody asked
Renamon only nodded. Melody sighed, she had gotten the quite type as a partner.
"Mmm hmmm. When you digivolved, you certainly got way bigger. Does this mean you're something different now, or are you still digimon?"Tai said
"Digimon. But I needed your help, Tai."Agumon said
"Me? For what?"Tai asked
"You see, digivolving is a very difficult process. In order to be successful, I had to share your energy."Agumon said
"Really?"Tai asked
"I guess you guys don't run on batteries."Sora said
"Sure don't."Biyomon said
"But how do you access my energy?"Izzy replied
"Even we don't know everything."Tentomon said
"Thanks for my magical power!"Palmon said
"The whole thing makes my head spinny."Mimi said
"So, I help you change! That is so cool!"T.K. said
"Yep, sure is."Patamon said
"My folks warned me about strangers."Joe siad
"I'm not a stranger, Joe. I'm your friend for life!"Gomamon said
"Hm."Joe said
Melody got up and went and sat beside him.
"Come on Joe at least give him the benefit of the doubt he did save your life after all."Melody said
Joe looked at Melody who sent him a calming smile. Joe felt himself relax, and nodded.
"Alright your right Melody."
"Okay, come on! What are we going to do?"Matt asked
"If only there was a payphone nearby. We could call the police, or fire department, or my mother."Joe said
"But we don't even know where we are!"Tai said
"But we know where we started. Up there on that mountain!"Sora said
"I say we forget about going back and explore around here."Matt said
"I'm not exploring anywhere. I say we stay right where we are."Joe said
"Yeah, let's wait for that giant bug to come get us. We need to find a road leading someplace to get away from here!"Matt said
"Matt's right. But without a compass, we don't even know which way is north."Izzy said
"Wait, I do."Tentomon said
Melody was confused so she asked:
"How do you know Tentomon?"
"Well, which way is it?"Izzy asked
"It's the opposite of south."Tentomon said
"Uh."Izzy said
"Wow, Izzy you got yourself a class A comedian as a partner."Melody said
"I shouldn't wear these pants. They ride up when I do a lot of walking."Joe said
"Y'know, if we could get back to where we were before, we might at least find some clues as to why we're here in this place."Joe said
"Wait. Are there more monsters around like that big flying beetle?"Mimi asked
"Yes indeedy!"Palmon said
"Ick!"Mimi said
"Those monsters don't scare me!"Matt said
"Are there humans?"Tai asked
"Humans? Others like you?"Agumon asked
"Mmm hmmm."Tai replied
"You're the first ever. There's never been anything but digimon."Agumon said
"So, okay. You're all digimon. But what about these monsters? They're all digimon, too?"Tai asked
"It's creepy. And dangerous. And what happens when it gets dark?"Melody asked
"Who says it ever gets dark here?"Matt asked
"That phenomenon would be unnatural."Izzy replied
"And you call this natural?"Joe replied
"Well, we're not going to find out anything by sitting around here."Tai said
Tai starts walking, followed by Agumon.
"Where do you think you're going?"Melody asked
"Up on that cliff. That's where I saw the ocean."Tai said
"The ocean?"Matt asked
"Yep. There might be a boat or something."Tai replied
"Let's water-ski home."Matt said
"I would rather stay far away from water please."Melody whispered
Tai shot her a glance then he remembered.
"Your phobia." he said
"Her phobia?"Mimi asked
"Melody is scared of water...-"Tai started
"I almost drowned when I was five."Melody said
"Ouch, that must be a downer in the summer."Matt said
"Yeah, but let's focus on what's at hand. I'll be fine."Melody replied
"At a time like this, I think we'd be far better off just to find a cave and hide. We keep our eyes open, and when a camp counselor comes-"Joe said
"Hey, Joe! Everyone's leaving us!"Gomamon said
Joe opens his eyes to see the others walking down the beach, and runs to catch up.
"Wait for me!"Joe shouted
All the kids are now walking along a riverbank, with green trees to their right, and Gomamon swimming in the water to their left.
"These trees are beautiful."Sora said
"Yeah, they're really different. And I just thought they were sub-tropical."Izzy said
"Whatever they are, they're aggravating my hay fever."Joe said
"Hey, Joe. Is there anything you don't complain about?"Matt asked
Gabumon laughs quietly.
"Matt be nice, Joe has a point if one of us get sick what are we going to do?"Melody asked
"Thank you Melody."Joe said
"Digital monsters. Exactly who came up with that name, anyhow?"Izzy asked
"Just call us digimon. We like that."Tentemon replied
"I only ask because your composition isn't at all machine-like."Izzy replied
"Oh, really?"Tentemon asked
Tentomon creates a ball of electrical energy between his wings, causing Izzy to hold his hands up in front of his head in defense.
"Hey! Watch it!"Izzy replied
"So, Patamon, can you really fly?"T.K. said
"Of course!"Patamon replied
Patamon lifts himself into the air, eyes closed tightly, as he flaps his little wings with all his might. Still, T.K.'s walking pace leaves him struggling to catch giggled as she watched Patamon try.
"Wow, that's cool, but you're going the wrong way."T.K. said
"I'm faster than that. Watch!"Biyomon said
Biyomon and Patamon race each other, as T.K. and Sora pass them on foot.
"Wouldn't it be faster to walk? Huh?"Sora asked
"Palmon, I've been meaning to ask, who does your hair?"Mimi asked
"It's natural. I wake up in the morning like this."Palmon siad
"Wow! Maybe you could let me work with it!"Mimi said
"Do you think you put too much emphasis on appearance?"Mimi asked
"Well, honestly, I've never really thought about it."Mimi said
"Honestly, I kinda like my hair the way it is."Palmon said
"Once I get back, this is gonna make one great story."Tai said
"I bet Hayden and Kari will love it."Melody said to Renamon
"Yep."Agumon said back to Tai
"Who is Hayden?"Renamon asked Melody
"My little sister."Melody replied to Renamon
"But, of course not a single soul will ever believe me."Tai said to Agumon
"That Kuwagamon back there... he was huge."Izzy replied
"And he's not the only one."Tetemon said
"Ahh, nothing like the ocean."Gabumon said
"Ahh haa! Everybody in the water!"Gomaon said
Melody jumped and hid behind Tai and Renamon.
"Hey, let's build a giant sandcastle!"T.K. yelled
"Oh, I forgot my bathing suit."Mimi said
"Wait a minute, listen! What's that?"Matt said
The group hears a ringing sound, and they look around for the source.
"A phone!"Tai said
"Either that or we're all hearing things."Sora said
Sure enough, sitting along the beach is a row of evenly spaced telephone booths, looking quite out of place. The kids run up to them.
"I told you! All we needed was a phone! We're saved!"Joe said
Just as Tai opens the door to the first booth, the ringing suddenly stops.
" Why'd it stop ringing, Tai?"Agumon asked
"Wrong number?"Tai asked
"Well, that's bizarre."Sora said
"My theory is aliens. They've set these phone booths out as a trap."Izzy replied
"If we can find a place that delivers, let's order pizza!"Matt said
"Whatever you get, no anchovies for me."Mimi replied
"The question is, what are these doing here at the beach?"Sora asked
"So people can call their parents for a ride home!"Joe said
"Parents? What exactly is a parents?"Gomamon said
"That's it. I'm outta here."Joe said
"Does anybody have any loose change?"Tai asked
"Why?"Izzy asked
"Obviously, I'm gonna make a phone call to get some help."Tai said
"Ah, use my phone card. The aliens can bill me. Here."Izzy said
"Maybe there's a quarter in one of the slots!"T.K. said
"I'm calling Daddy!"Mimi said
T.K. and Mimi run to the phones as Tai inserts the card in his phone.
"I'm hooking up to the internet."Izzy replied
"I'm calling collect."Matt said
"Dibs on booth four!"Sora said
"Hey guys, wait for me! Come on!"Joe said
"Hello? Hey Mom, it's me!"Tai said
Melody watched as her friends.
"Renamon how do they expect for their parents to come pick them up, when we have no idea how we got here?"Melody replied
"Let them have a little hope of getting home Melody."Renamon said crossing her arms.
"Okay."Melody said sitting down.
"At the tone the time will be exactly forty-five miles per hour. And ninety seconds."The operator said in Tai's phone
"Something's wrong, or Mom's flipped."Tai said
Mimi listens to her telephone as Palmon watches.
"Tomorrow's forecast calls for clear skies with occasional ice cream."Mimi's phone says
"What do you wear for that?"Mimi replied
Matt and T.K. listen to the operator in the next booth over.
"This number only exists in your imagination. Please hang up and don't call back."Matt and T.k. heard
"What planet did I dial?"Matt asked
"I'm telling you. It's a twisted alien joke."Izzy said
"Why don't you try that one over there?"Tentemon replied
"I don't think it's any better."Biyomon said
"No telephones are working in your service area. Hang up and have a nice day."The Operator said
Sora hangs up her receiver and crosses her arms.
"Huh."Sora said
"Any luck?"Tai asked walking over to her
"No." Sora replied
"Weird. I got a strange feeling about this."Tai said
"Maybe this one will."Joe said
"To leave a message, press one now. To leave a fingerprint, press two now. Fifteen dollars for the next three minutes."The operator said
"Okay. Next one."Joe said
The others had joined Melody in sitting on the beach, watching Joe continue to try the phone.
"Very curious. Does Joe always behave like this?"Izzy said
"Every single day."Tai replied
"No matter what number, or how many times he dials, those phones aren't gonna work!"Matt said
"Well, I'm gonna keep searching for a boat or something."Tai said
"Hey, wait a minute! Even though we can't call out of here, there's always a chance someone else might be able to call in to us."Matt said
"It's a waste of time doing nothing but sitting here."Tai said
"I'm going to stay here for a little while and see if anyone calls. Besides, everyone could use a little rest."Matt said
Tai looks over to where T.K., Mimi, Palmon and Patamon are sitting, looking utterly exhausted.
"and I'm getting pretty hungry, too."Melody said
"You know why? Because we haven't eaten anything all day. Okay, break time, everybody!"Tai said
"Ahh. Does anybody else have any food? I think the only thing I have is... huh? Is that gadget that fell out of the sky at camp!"Sora said
Sora and Tai reach for their gadgets and examine them.
"I forgot all about those weird gizmos."Tai said
"If anybody's got a pink one, I'll trade."Mimi said
"What are they, anyway?"T.K. said
"We wouldn't have them if they weren't important."Matt replied
"If I could take mine apart..."Izzy said
Izzy's mutterings are interrupted by a rather loud growl of his stomach.
"Ummm... That is after I get something to eat. I'm really famished."Izzy said
"Well, the only thing I've got is my emergency supplies. It's got a first aid kit, some bandages, and some medicine, but that's about all I've got."Sora said
"I have my trusty laptop computer, and a digital camera. Oh, and I've got a small cell phone, too. Of course, not one of them's worked since we got here."Izzy said
"I can't believe you dragged all that computer stuff to summer camp."Tai siad
"And what do you have?"Izzy replied
"Uhh, let's see. There's my mini-telescope."Tai said
"Sorry, but I don't have anything to eat, either."Matt said
"Hey, look at what I got. Check it out!"T.K. said
T.K. opens his backpack to reveal a stash of junk food.
"Wow, look at all those goodies! Why don't you be a good little boy and share those treats with dear, sweet Mimi?"Mimi said
"Ahh, you don't have to be so nice, Mimi. I'm happy to share. You're the best. Isn't she cute?"T.k. said
"Forget it!"matt said
Melody smiled at the three. Soon Tai voice brought her out of her thoughts.
"I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."Tai said
"I'd settle for a small cow."Izzy said
"Mimi, what have you got in that big bag? Some hair brushes and make up?"Sora asked
"Uhh, well, let's take a look. Here's a compass, cooking fuel, flashlight, one of those knives with all the things, and some other stuff."Mimi replied
"Why didn't you tell us you had a compass back when we needed one?"Matt asked
"I thought it might be kind of fun to see how far we could get without one. Besides, it's broken."Mimi replied
"Well, so much for finding our way out of here."Tai said
"Although, we could use the cooking fuel to make a signal fire."Matt said
"That's true, or I guess we could barbecue some telephones."Sora replied
"Oh boy. Check out the genius. See? He's trying to call the telephone repair man because the telephones don't work. Problem is" Tai said
"Look! Joe's got the emergency food!"Melody replied
The other kids turn to look at Joe, who is still trying the phones with a dogged determination, while Gomamon sits patiently. And on his shoulder they see a bag with a red cross stitched onto it.
"No way!"Izzy said
"Joe! Hey Joe! Look, you've got all the food!"Tai shouted
"Hey! Don't you know it's rude to interrupt someone when they're on the telephone?"Joe replied
"But that bag-"Izzy said
"This? I just brought it to give to Mimi. Today was her day to carry the bag!"Joe replied
"Think he likes ya!"Palmon said
"No way!"Mimi replied
Joe carries the hefty bag over to where Mimi is sitting.
"Mimi, you have got to stop thinking of yourself and do something to help somebody else for once! Take a little responsibility!"Joe replied
"But - that bag's too heavy for me!"Mimi cried
"Listen, you never hear me complaining."Joe replied
"Guys, guys! Listen, the most important thing now is that we've got some food to eat. So let's sit down and have some lunch."Tai said
"Uhh huh!"Sora said
"Okay, let's figure this out. There's seven people in the group times three days, times three meals, that comes to..."Joe said
"Sixty-three meals."Izzy said quickly
"Uh, right. So, split evenly between us, we have uhh..."Joe said
"Enough food for three days."Izzy finished
"Right! Oh, exactly, I guess you knew that."Joe said
"But you guys, when you add in the digimon, we really only have enough for about half an hour."Sora said
"Oh, that's right..."Joe replied
"Not a problem at all. We digimon hunt and forage for ourselves."Gabumon said
"No need to include us in your calculations."Tentemon said
"You sure, Biyomon?"Sora asked
"Oh, absolutely! We can do alright for ourselves."Biyomon said
"Okay. Now that that's taken care of, let's go ahead and divide this between the seven people here."Joe said
"This is great. I could eat a dozen of these!"Tai said
Tai and Agumon are off to the side of the group, stuffing their faces. Melody and Renamon walk over.
"Just what do you think you're doing?"Melody asked
"I'm glad we never hear you complaining."Tai replied
"You people make me crazy!"Joe shouted
Tai hands Melody some of the food he's eating. She takes it and starts to eat it.
Out in the water, Gomamon sits up at the distinctive sound of the roar of a large beast. Biyomon looks out toward the water and hums, eyes narrowed.
"Now what's the matter?"Sora asked
"Trouble."Biyomon replied
"Oh!"Sora replied
From beneath the sand, a column of water shoots up high into the air. The kids shout and run away as the column moves, knocking the telephone booths far into the air with its force.
"What's that?"Tai asked
The telephone booths, now mangled and broken, drop onto the beach, where a tornado of sand rises to reveal a huge horned shell rising from the beach.
"Shellmon!"Tentomon shouted
"What's a Shellmon?"Izzy asked
"Something that gets mad for no reason!"Tentomon replied
"Attacked by two digital monsters in the same day! And doesn't Shellmon know I'm allergic to shellfish?"Joe asked
From the shell emerge two great legs and a head with an angry expression.
"Everybody, up here!"Joe said
Joe climbs up the cliff face by the beach, but Shellmon blows a jet of water from the top of his head, knocking Joe back to the ground. Melody freezes when she sees that it's water.
"Melody."Renamon said trying to get her to move, but she wouldn't
"Joe!"Gomaon cried
Shellmon shoots a blast of water at Gomamon as well. Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon ,Tentomon, and Renamon face the attacking digimon.
"Digimon, attack!"Agumon cried
"Agumon, you show him!"Tai shouted
"Pepper Breath!"Agumon shouted
"Blue Blaster!"Gabumon shouted
"Spiral Twister!"Biyomon shouted
"Super Shocker!"Tentomon shouted
"Diamond Storm!"Renamon shouted
Agumon's fireball hits Shellmon in the face, and he rears back, but the other digimon's attacks fizzle out and don't even reach the larger digimon.
"What's happening to them?"Izzy asked
"They look like they've lost their powers."Matt asked
Shellmon aims a blast of water that blows the smaller digimon back.
"Agumon!"Tai shouted
"Boom Bubble!"Patamon shouted
"Poison Ivy!"Palmon yelled
Despite their efforts, both of their attacks fail as well. Shellmon slaps Patamon from the air, and knocks Palmon away with a swipe of his head. Agumon steps up and blows another fireball that again hits Shellmon square in the face.
"Go get him, Agumon!"Tai shouted
"Why is it only Agumon?"Izzy asked
"We're just too hungry."Tentomon replied
"Gabumon!"Matt cried
"I don't have any strength..."Gabumon replied
"That's it! Agumon is the only one who had anything to eat."Melody said
" Now I see."Izzy said
"Then the other digimon don't have enough strength left to fight."Matt said
"Agumon! Looks like it's just you and me now!"Tai shouted
"Then give me a diversion!"Agumon said
"Hey Shellmon! Ugly! Over here!"Tai shouted
"No, don't!"Melody shouted
As Shellmon watches Tai, Agumon hits him again from the side. Tai picks up a long pole, broken off of one of the telephone booths.
"This'll work!"Tai said
Tai jabs the stick into Shellmon's shell, but is lifted into the air in one of the long vines growing from Shellmon's head.
"Hold on, Tai!"Agumon shouted
Shellmon steps on Agumon, holding him immobile beneath his foot, and aims a blast of water at the other kids and digimon.
"Watch out! He's gonna get everyone, and there's nothing I can do!"Tai cried
Tai yells in pain as Shellmon crushes him in his vine.
"Tai, no!"Agumon cried
"Digivolve!"Agumon shouted
A bright light glows from beneath Shellmon's foot, and Tai and the others watch, surprised.
"What's going on?"Tai asked
"Agumon digivolve to... Greymon!"Agumon shouted
Shellmon flings Tai out of the way as the tiny digimon suddenly grows into a giant tiger-striped tyrannosaur.
"Whoa! He did it again! Now he's Greymon!"Tai said
Shellmon charges his new opponent, and Greymon grapples with him.
"Now you're getting him. Go, Greymon!"Tai shouted
Shellmon fires a stream of water at Greymon, who counters it with a stream of fire. Shellmon relents first, and Greymon takes advantage of the pause by using the horn on his snout as a scoop, throwing the other digimon out over the sea.
"Digi-Nova Blast!"Greymon shouted
The huge ball of fire propels Shellmon so far out to sea that when he lands, the splash looks tiny from the shore. Greymon shrinks down back to Agumon.
"What! Agumon! Oh, are you alright? You poor little guy. Agumon!"Tai said
"Tai? Tai! Do you have anything to eat?"Agumon asked
Tai laughs, relieved. Later, Joe is kneeling on the beach next to a demolished payphone, talking into the receiver.
"Hello? Come on, I know you're there! Operator? Operator!"Joe said
"There's really no reason to stay here now."Tai said
"Who wants to break the bad news to Joe?"Melody asked
The digimon, along with Sora, Mimi and T.K. are circled around a spread of food which is being gulped down quickly Sora smiles.
"You want some more, just say so."Sora replied
"Shellmon wasn't destroyed. He was just temporarily removed. We should pack up and leave before he decides he wants to come back for round two."Izzy said
"Good idea."Matt replied
"In that case, we should go right back to the forest. Because if anybody's looking for us, that's the place they'll go!"Joe replied
"Joe, I said this before. We fell off a cliff and floated down a river to get here. And getting back there's a really big job."Sora said
"And we could run into Kuwagamon!"Mimi replied
"Now listen. Logically speaking, if there are telephones here, then there must be people to use them. So, I think it makes good sense to try and find those people."Izzy said
"That makes sense?"Joe asked
"It certainly does."Melody replied
"Hmmm."Joe said
"Then let's all get going!"Tai replied
"Anywhere you want to go, I'll go, Tai. You just pick the direction."Agumon said
"Then let's get outta this place!"Tai said
"And let the monsters beware!"Matt said
"Mmm hmmm. Well, my plan is to avoid all monsters. Yep, that's my plan."Joe replied
"Okay, here we go!"Tai said
"Digimon!"The digimon shouted
The group laughs, and they all head off, ready for whatever adventure the digital world will throw at them next.
Thanks again for all the favorites and follows:) I wanted to know if you guys wanted me to post a one-shot on how Melody and Tai meet...
My first melody Drawing should be up tomorrow eveining:)
