738: All I can say is wait and see:)

Disclamer: I don't own digimon or the characters, all I own is Melody.


Melody couldn't believe their luck as they walked across the scorching desert. They hadn't ran into Etomon in a while.

'I have a feeling like our good luck will run out soon."Melody thought

Tai who had taken it upon himself was now walking beside her.

"I have to admit a little breeze would be nice, but it is a beautiful day don't you agree?"Tai asked

"Yeah maybe for a scorpion."Agumon replied

Melody smiled happily. She was glad that Agumon was back. She missed the small fire ball. Mimi ,who had taken the other spot beside Melody, kept looking at her crest as it swung back and forth. Joe had slowly walked up beside Mimi.

"It's beautiful isn't Joe?"Mimi asked "and every crest that we have found so far has been different."

"Yeah, but we need to learn how to use them."Joe said

Sora slowed down where she was now walking a little in front of Joe, Mimi, and Melody.

"Or else our digimon can digivole all messed up right?"Sora asked

Melody glanced back at Matt who was bringing up the rear with TK and Izzy by his side. TK walked up closer to his brother and said:

"Oh man there talking about the crests again."TK said

Matt stopped walking and said:

"It won't matter what we do. We should be worried about finding all the crests."

Everyone, except Tai, stopped walking and turned to him. Izzy walked forward in his thinking pose and said:

"You're probably right about that Matt maybe the crests power comes from having them all."Izzy said

"Well if that's so the positive outlook is we don't like that many."Melody replied

Tai and Agumon stopped walking and turned to look at the group.

"Hmm...what are they doing back there?"Tai asked as him and Agumon kept walking

When no one moved to follow him he shouted:

"Hey we gotta move on! If we're going to take some down time we need to find some shade!"

TK smiled at Tai and waved.

"Awe thanks Tai, were in the middle of a serious digi conversation about the tags and crest."TK yelled

Everyone smiled, however Renamon felt trouble.

"TAI LOOK OUT!"Renamon shouted

Everyone was shocked when a Kuwagamon appeared out of the ground. Tai and Agumon were trapped on his horns.

"TIA AGUMON!"Melody shouted

Tai was thrown farther away from the others. Agumon tried to use his pepper breath, but it didn't bother the Kuwagamon.

"IS that the same one?"Melody cried

"It's Kuwagamon alright!"Palmon replied

Agumon tried his pepper breath again, but it didn't do any damage.

"UH! Guys we have a little problem!"Agumon replied

The Kuwagamon seemed angry!

"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE!"Gabumon cried

Melody noticed Tai getting up.

'This is what I was worried about. Tai is going to freeze up. It happed with Kari and Hayden...he wouldn't let them go out for months because of them getting sick. Tai don't freeze up!'

Tai stood up and said:

"Alright, Alright rethinking our training program."Tai said " I hope Agumon doesn't freak out on me."

Both partners thought back to Skull Greymon.

"What if ther is something wrong with me? What if I can't become Greymon?"Agumon asked

"AGUMON STAY AWAY FROM HIS CHOPPERS!"Tai shouted running to his partner

Kuwagamon opened his chompers and went for Agumon.

"MOVE AGUMON! MOVE! DO SOMETHING GET BACK!"Gomamon shouted

Agumon closed his eyes and feared for the worse. However, it didn't come...

"DIAMOND STORM!"Renamon shouted

Agumon opened his eyes to see Renamon fighting against Kuwagamon. Melody ran over and grabbed Agumon around the shoulder. Tai made it to his partner and childhood friend. Melody looked at Tai and him at her. Agumon was shaking in their arms. About that time Kuwagamon slapped Renamon back in front of the group.

"RENAMON!"Melody cried

She left her child hood friend and his partner to go to hers. Renamon wasn't moving and it scared her.

"Renamon."Melody cried

Agumon ran towards Melody to check on Renamon. Kuwagamon went to attack Melody and Agumon but Tai knocked them down.

"I gottcha."Tai said

"Nice one."Agumon said

"Tai."Melody whispered

Sora cried out in worry. About that time a voice called out:

"PIXIE BOMB SEEK OUT AND DESTROY!"

Everyone watched as Kuwagamon disappeared. The group of digidestin let out a sight of relief. The group ran over to the two digidestin. Melody and cradled Renamon's head in her chest.

"Renamon?!"Melody cried

Tai and Agumon looked at Melody and felt their heart's break. Melody started to cry and Tai knew that was never a good thing.

"What just happened?"Matt asked

About that time a pink ball with wings walked by going to Melody and Renamon humming something.

"A pink powder puff with wings."Mimi cried

"Just don't put on your face."Sora said getting behind Tai.

"A better question is where is Kuwagamon?"Joe asked hiding behind Tai

"Oh man maybe that's him."TK said

Melody watched as the small digimon stopped in front of them.

"Ha, I'm not the enemy if anything I'm the enemy of your enemies."The digimon said

Biyomon quickly ran out in front of the group and said:

"I've heard of you! You're the famous Pixiemon right?"

Before Piximon could reply Mimi walked over and picked him up.

"I've heard all about you all and I am not empresses."Piximon said

The digidestin, except Melody and Renamon, lined up in a line.

"You eight are suppose to be the digidestin! HA! You better be more careful or you'll be digi dinners." Piximon said "That means without my training. However, one of you seem to be going slowly in the right direction."

The digidestin became angry slowly.

"AND YOU DIGIMON YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PROTECTING THE CHILDREN BUT HALF THE TIME THEY ARE PROTECTING YOU!"Piximon said "I WANNA SEE SOME GUTS I WANNA SEE SOME COURAGE.'

Melody glanced at the digimon as they looked dejected. Matt walked up beside Melody and said to her:

"This guy reminds me of a gym teacher I once had."

Palmon looked down at the ground and said:

"He's right he's just got no guts."

"Don't we get points for enthusiasm?"Gomamon asked

"But the news isn't all bad you're all going to train with me."Piximon said

"What about Renamon?"TK asked

"Of course the two of them will train with me also, but only until Renamon is back at 100%."Piximon said

"Why are we training with you?"Sora asked

"Let's not go overboard Piximon!"Tentomon said

Tai and Agumon had slowly walked over to stand by Melody and Renamon.

"Especially you two guys."Piximon said looking at Tai and Agumon.

"WHA?!"Agumon and Tai asked

"You two heard me. You two need lots of help. I have a special extreme training program just for you!"Piximon said flying by them.

Agumon and Tai turned in Piximon's direction.

"Did I hear him right?"Tai asked

"Sounds kind of Extreme."Agumon said

"Yup. FOLLOW ME!"Piximon said

Melody noticed Renamon walking up. She slowly helped her partner up and started following the little digimon.

"MELODY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"Sora asked

Melody stopped walking and said:

"What do you mean? He told us to follow him and that is what I'm doing."Melody replied

"How do you know we can trust him?"Tai asked

"I have a gut feeling we can. Isn't that good enough?"Melody asked

The others stayed and tried to figure out what to do, while Melody followed after Piximon. The children gripped and complained about traveling.

"WAIT! were here!"Piximon shouted

"um...excuse me, but this is just desert."Melody replied

"PIXIE PORTAL!"Piximon replied

"OH WOW!"The kids replied

"What is this?"Tai asked "Some kind of portal?"

"No, this is just my front door." Pixiemon said

Melody and Renamon shared a weak look.

"Come in quickly before it closes."Piximon said

Everyone walked in.

"Wow a jungle inside of a desert."Tai said

"I bet you have a lot of friends who want to come over and play."TK said

"You should have seen it when you first saw it when I first got it." Piximon said

Sora felt the need to turn around and was shocked to see what she saw.

"HEY GUYS HEADS UP!"Sora cried "BEHIND US GUYS!"

Everyone turned and looked to see a familiar trailer.

"Oh no it's Etomon and his trailer!"Mimi cried

"Oh great that's all we need."Melody replied

"And it's right outside my front door he is to."Piximon said

"HU!?"Joe asked

"Oh don't worry he isn't able to see through the barrier all he sees is desert."Piximon said

The group kept walking through the forest till they found a long amount of steps.

"Home we are my house is right up these steps."Piximon said

Everyone looked at the steps in amazement.

"We have to walk up there?"Joe asked

Piximon smiled then lifted up his spear and Renamon vanished.

"Where did Renamon go?"TK asked

"Renamon is in a room in my house where she can rest and get her energy back."Piximon said

Melody nodded then started up the stairs.

"Let's go you guys."Melody said

"But I didn't bring my stair climing sneakers."Mimi whinnied

"Yeah and I just remember I'm afraid of heights." Tai said

"Surely from a logical stand point it doesn't look very safe."Izzy replied

Piximon didn't say a word. He watched Renamon's partner walk up the stairs by herself.

"Is this part of our training?"Sora asked

Piximon flew in front of the remaining digidestin and said:

"Exactly."

The kids fell to their knees. Tentomon had an idea.

"Hey I'll just fly up there and I'll be chilling by the pool-"Tentomon started

Pixiemon flew beside Tentomon and said:

"Wait did I forget to mention that there will be no flying through any of my training?"

"AWE!"Tentomon said falling down beside Izzy

"Haven't you learned that sometimes the easy way is a trap? Now let's move out."Piximon said

While walking up the stairs Melody's mind started going back to her mother. Her mother was a sports loving person. She played basketball in high school with their father. While she plaid soccer to. Their father was also a competitive swimmer. Her mother knew that her children would become great athletes, so every morning Melody and Hayden would awake and go on a jog with their mother. It wasn't until three years ago the two started going on their own.

'I don't get why the others are complaining about walking up some stairs. Man, I wonder how Hayden is 'Melody thought

The group started up their long walk the stairs. Everyone was tired. The sun was already setting.

"Oh come on don't tell me your tired already!"Piximon said "Don't get up yet., you see you've almost arrived."

Everyone looked and saw a huge house.

"That's his place?"Joe asked

"That's it and there is plenty of food for all."Piximon said

At the mention of food, the digidestin found a new amount of energy. After listing to Piximon gloat about a statue of himself Goamon realized that Piximon had forgotten something.

"You have to earn it."Piximon said

"I knew there was a catch."Goamon said sadly

Pixiemon started to laugh and twirled his spear around and buckets and rags appeared in front of the digidestin.

"Your job is to scrub the floors all the floors!"Pixiemon said

The digidestin were complain, but soon Tai and Agumon were separated from the group.

"But not you Agumon and Tai you'll have a different training menu come with me. Oh and Matt give Melody a bucket when she gets back from checking on Renamon."Piximon said flying off

"Great we probably have to paint the place." Tai said sadly following Pixiemon

Agumon sadly follow Tai.

After Tai, Agumon, and Piximon left Sora got the group moving.

"Well we better get moving."Sora said

"The last time I scrubbed the floor was never!"Mimi cried

Melody closed the door behind her when she noticed her friends scrubbing the floor. Without a word said she walked over to a bucket and grabbed rag and started to help.

"It's simple task Mimi even you can catch on."Izzy said

"Are we really training or is it that he really doesn't like to vacuum."Matt said

'Why am I getting so aggregated with all their complaining? I can't say what I really think because I might hurt someone's feelings...just like Renamon got hurt because I asked her to protect agumon.' Melody thought

"Tokomon lets have a cleaning race."TK said "Ready set go."

Soon TK and Tokomon were off. Matt laughed happily at the two.


Piximon had led Agumon and Tai to a cave entrance.

"Alright here you two are."Piximon said

Tai and Agumon nodded at each other and they walked into the cave.

"Man it's pitch dark in here."Agumon said

"What kinda chore are we going to do in here if we can't even see our hands in front of our faces?"Tai asked

It was then Tai took a step, him and Agumon started to fall through the ground.


Back with the others it was night time. Everyone was asleep. Joe was sleeping sitting in a chair while Mimi and Sora were back to back on a coach asleep. Melody was asleep leaning against a wall, TK had cuddled himself around Melody. The digimon were all spread out sleeping. Izzy woke up for some reason, when he looked to the door he saw Matt. Matt held up a finger and shushed him. The two walked out. Melody heard the door closed and got up herself. She fixed TK on Gabumon who was sleeping soundly.

"Guys what's wrong?"Melody asked

Izzy and Matt welcomed the blond into their conversation.

"What's wrong Matt Izzy?"Melody asked

"Tai and Agumon never came back."Matt said

"So what do you think happened?"Izzy asked

About that time Izzy's and Matt's crests started to glow.

"Do you see that you know what that means right?"Matt asked

"It means that your crest are close."Melody replied

Matt, Izzy, and Melody went looking for the crests.

"Are you sure this is a good idea Matt? Maybe we should go back and get Tentomon, Gabumon, or Renamon?"Izzy asked

"Let them rest."Matt said "Why are you coming with us anyways Mel?"

"Someone has to watch over you guys."Melody replied

"If I know this for a fact we are not Tai."Izzy replied

Matt quickly noticed the girl's change of facial features. Matt quickly elbowed Izzy and then pointed at Melody. Izzy quickly retracted and said:

"Don't worry Melody, I bet Tai is okay."

Melody smiled a sad smile and said:

"Yeah your right. Now about these crests."

"These crests must be inside the barrier so it will be okay."Matt said

Matt pulled out his crest and the three watched as the tag swung back and forth. The crest was growing. One way it waved the crest glow brighter.

"Quick Izzy Melody this way!"Matt shouted

Matt ran off, Melody and Izzy quickly followed him.


Back with Tai and Agumon

Tai felt himself floating. He felt wetness. Agumon woke up and sat up quickly.

"TAI! TAI! TAI WAKE UP!"Agumon shouted

Tai came to slowly and sat up.

"Hey wait where are we?"Tai asked

"I don't know we were in a cave, but I don't remember any boats."Agumon replied but was cut off when Tai started yelling

"HEY! HELLO!"Tai shouted standing up

The boat started rocking and Tai fell in the water.

"Don't you know not to stand up in a boat? Here grab this."Agumon said handing Tai the paddle

Tai took hold of the paddle.

"Hey do you see that light?"Agumon asked

"Hey! Don't look at the light pull me in!"Tai yelled pulling on the paddle

"HEY!"Agumon shouted when the boat leaned toward Tai. However, Tai and Agumon both started pulling the paddle and they both fell in the water.

"Hey now look what you did, now were both in the water."Tai said

"Look at what I did! you were the one standing up in the boat!"Agumon said

Tai and Agumon started to argue.


The others woke up to someone beating something.

"hu?"Joe asked

"What is it what's going on?"Mimi asked

Gabumon, Sora, Mimi, Biyomon, Joe, Gomamon, TK, Tokomon, Palmon and Renamon walked out of their rooms to see Piximon standing in front of them.

"Good morning everyone."Piximon said "COME ON PEOPLE!"

Tentomon flew in front of the digidestin.

"Um, excuse me Piximon do you know where Izzy is?"Tentomon asked "And he's not in his bed."

Everyone woke up at that moment.

"And I can't find Matt!"Gabumon cried

"I don't see Melody."Renamon replied

TK pushed himself up on the wood railing.

"Hey did you send my brother and Melody someone where?"TK asked

"Your brother and pals went to look for crests about midnight."Piximon replied

"Oh I don't believe it why would Izzy leave me behind?"Tentomon asked

"Isn't it strange first it was Agumon and Tai leaving now its Melody, Izzy, and Matt. Ever since we met Piximon people started disappearing."Sora said

"Maybe next Joe will turn up missing."Mimi said

"Come on you guys it's not funny stop fooling around."Joe cried "What if its Piximon making everyone disappear?"

"Come on Joe chill we can trust Piximon can't we?"Goamon replied "I mean he wouldn't do anything really cruel would he?"

"Like not feed us?"Joe replied

"Attention training will now begin."Piximon shouted


Melody, Matt, and Izzy followed Matt's tag. Melody found herself listing to Izzy's and Matt's conversation.

"Why do you want to find a crest Izzy?"Matt asked

"I guess it is mostly because of Kabuterimon. I want to see what sort of form he will digivole to. Isn't that the reason you are looking for a crest?"

Matt and Melody smiled at the boy.

"No, I want to use the crest to digivole me."Matt replied "Not into digimon, but to make me stronger and faster maybe learn something new about myself you know to reach my next level."

Melody smiled fondly at the two. Soon the three found a small well.

"Look you guys its outside of the barrier."Melody replied

"Don't tell me we came all this way for nothing." Izzy said

Matt lifted his crest in the air. It was at that moment that Melody and Izzy saw that the well was shining.

"Hey Matt look!"Melody said

"WE MADE IT!"Izzy cheered "The crests have got to be right there inside the well."

"Let's go!"Izzy said walking to the well

"yeah."Matt replied

"But guys its outside of the barrier."Melody replied

"I know but were so close!"Izzy said

Izzy stuck his hand through the barrier. His tag glowing birghter.

"I hope my hand doesn't melt."Izzy said

He pulled his hand back to see it was normal.

"Hey it's okay Matt."Izzy said

Matt walked closer to Izzy who was getting ready to go through the barrier.

"Melody you stay here."Matt said

"alright you guys need to hurry."Melody replied

The two boys nodded and walked out of the barrier. Melody watched as the two boys walked to the well and started to go down it.


"See anything?"Izzy asked

"This light is bright down here."Matt said

he looked around and saw a symbol start to form on the wall of the well he was by.

"Hey we should try holding our tags up to the wall."Matt said

"Good idea."Izzy replied

The two boys held their tags near the wall. The two crests went to their rightful owners.

"Izzy this is happening!"Matt said "We both found our crests."


Melody felt a bad feeling coming.

"Guys hurry!"Melody shouted

Right as Izzy and Matt climbed up the rope from the well they saw a Tyrannomon. Matt and Izzy ran from him.

"RUN YOU GUYS RUN!"Melody shouted

The tyrannomon attacked. Matt and Izzy made it to the barrier only for Tyrannomon's attack to blast the two of them straight into Melody. The three hit the ground hard. Melody looked and saw that the barrier had been broken.

'Oh no...our only safe spot to hide from Etomon...Tai, what are we going to do?'Melody asked


Gabumon and the others were going through more of Piximon's training. Gabumon had just gotten yelled at when Piximon shouted:

"MY BARRIER HAS BEEN BROKEN!"

Gabumon, Renamon, and Tentomon picked up at this.

"That's where matt is!"Gabumon said

"I have to help Izzy!"Tentomon said

"Melody is in trouble, I have to go!"Renamon said


Matt, Izzy, and Melody were running through the woods.

"Didn't I see this guy in one of my nightmares!?"Izzy asked

"You better be more careful what you dream!"Matt replied

"Less talking more walking!"Melody shouted behind the boys

"MATT! IZZY! MELODY! OVER HERE!"Gabumon shouted

Matt, Izzy, and Melody turned and saw their digimon partners and friends. The group were starteled. Etomon started to play a song. The digimon fell to the ground.

"Oh no it zapped their powers!"Izzy cried "Now they can't digivole!"

The tyrannomon fired an attack at the kids. Melody closed her eyes and thought one word.

'TAI!'


Tai and Agumon were still in the boat going down the river.

"It's no use," Tai said "The more we fight it the father away we drift."

Tai and Agumon laid down in the boat back to back. Little did they know that something weird was happening outside of the boat. When the two came to Tai noticed something.

"I know this bridge."Tai said

About that time they heard something fall to the ground. Agumon and Tai walked on the bridge and saw a little boy trying to ride a bicycle. Tai was shocked and Agumon noticed.

"Who is that?"Agumon asked

"Me. But I" Tai started

"WHAT!?"Agumon asked "That's you?"

The little Taichi was crying while looking at his bike.


Piximon was holding off Tyrannomon's attack. Melody could only watch for the small digimon.

"TAI AGUMON WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOUR FRIENDS ARE IN TROUBLE!"Piximon shouted "You have to come back before it's too late Tai! Can you hear me!"

Melody's ears picked up on that.

'Tai please...we need you.' Melody thought


The little Tai was still crying.

"I'm never going to learn how to ride my bike."Lil Tai cried

"Don't give up!"Tai said walking up with Agumon

The lil Tai looked and saw Tai walking up with Agumon.

"You can't call it quits now because of one or two mistakes you made now."Tai said "Man I've made plenty so I ought to know. The best thing to do is to get up and try again."

"Okay, I'll try."Lil Tai said as he got back on his bike.

"We can hold you up from behind."Agumon said

Lil Tai started peddling while Tai and Agumon ran behind him. The two let go and they shouted:

"There you go."Agumon said

"You're doing it!"Tai shouted

"Hey I'm doing it all by myself I'm ridding."Lil Tai said

Tai was surprised when Lil Tai stopped and a girl with blond hair and a teal dress ran up.

"Taichi you did it!"The little girl said

"Yeah, I did Mel did you see me?"Lil Tai said

"Yeah! I always knew you could do it! Taichi's awesome!"Lil Melody said

Tai watched the two in amazement...

"Wait Agumon I get it, it's all about overcoming your fear! I was so afraid of you digivolving into Skull Greymon again. That I lost it."Tai said

"Yeah you must be a mind reader that same fear was stopping me from digivolving into Greymon."Agumon said "But if we really believe in ourselves it will be just like riding a bike. Greymon my friend I'm coming back for ya."

Tai and Agumon nodded at each other. The two of them got back into the boat and started going back the way they came.

"But wait, what about you talking to Melody?"Agumon asked

"Truth be told I was really afraid to talk to her. Melody's always been my friend, she's known me since I didn't know my self...and I treated her like she hated to be treated."Tai replied

"Just apologize to her."Agumon said

"I'm planning on it."Tai replied

While rowing Tai heard something:

'Tai help us!'

It was at that moment that Tai was able to see just what his friends were doing.

"Oh no they're in real trouble."Tai shouted


Piximon was still holding off Tyrannomon's attack.

'I can't wait for Tai any longer, he needs this lesson, but I need to attack.' Piximon thought

"EVERYONE STAND BACK!"Piximon shouted


Tai had, had enough.

"AGUMON DIGIVOLE!"Tai shouted

Agumon nodded. Agumon digivoled.

"Agumon digivole toooo...GREYMON!"


About that time Tyrannomon was flipped on the ground and Greymon appeared.

"ALRIGHT HE DIGIVOLED!"Gabumon said

Melody felt a feeling of relief throw through her.

'They're okay.' she thought

"NOVA BLAST!"Greymon said

He fired it.

Tai walked calmly up to everyone. He stopped at Sora.

"YOU MADE IT!"She cried

Tai smiled then walked up to Melody. He reached out a hand to her. Melody looked up at the boy, she took his hand and he helped her up. Greymon lifted Tyrannomon up, the wires that were connected to him started to break. Palmon started to cheer him on.

"YES YES YES!"She cheered

The digidestin cheered.

'Well they cut it closed, but they did it.' Piximon thought

Greymon took care of Tyrannomon and the group of digidestin returned back unto Piximon's house.

"Thank you for everything you've done Piximon."Matt said "We've learned a lot from you."

"Yeah like how to scrub the floors and starve half to death."Joe said

"Joe! That's just Joe's stomach growling."Mimi said

"Even though your training here is over remember life is like a training session."Piximon said "Learn all you can."

"Right!"Everyone said

The group started back walking through the desert.

'They truly are the digidestin yup no doubt have I. They are sometime foolish, but I have seen the love in their hearts. With a little luck they just may succeed and save our digital world.' Piximon thought
