"Etemon's Comeback Tour"
Yeah, I forgot that I had DemiMeramon go off with Joe and Mimi's group, so I decided to re-write this chapter. Sorry. Please enjoy and review!
As we were walking after the separation I was getting a bad feeling like someone was out to get us when all of a sudden something slammed right into the earth making it quake as we all clung to whatever whomever we could.
"What's happening?" Sora asked.
Soon, the quaking stopped.
"Is it some sort of explosion?" Tai asked.
"An earthquake?" Izzy asked.
"A meteor!" Tentomon cried as he flew down to us.
"And I mean a whopper. It just crashed in the forest." He said.
"Totally cool. Let's go check it out." Tai said.
"I don't know, Tai. It could be dangerous." Sora said.
"Yeah. Let's head over to Puppetmon's mansion instead." TK said.
"We'll show you guys exactly where it is." Patamon said.
"I suppose it's inevitable. He's one of the Dark Masters and we'll have to fight him sooner or later." Izzy said.
"Yeah, it's time somebody cut his strings instead of waiting around here. Let's take the fight to him for a change. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid that both our worlds will be destroyed." Gatomon said.
"Let's do it, Tai." Kari said tugging at our brother's shorts and he crossed his arms in thought.
"What a second you guys. Let's think this over. Puppetmon is a Mega digimon and we won't be able to defeat him that easily." Sora said.
"Oh, in that case let's give up and go watch cartoons." TK snipped.
"That's right." Patamon said.
"Someone's getting an attitude." Nekomon said.
"Not my fault." I said.
"The only fair thing to do is to take a vote. All those in favour of going to Puppetmon's mansion, raise your hand and say 'aye'." Izzy said.
"Aye!" said Izzy, Kari, TK, Gatomon, Tentomon, Patamon and Koromon as their raised their hands or ears.
"The ayes have it." Izzy said.
"I don't know which thing to do. I'm just so confused." V-Mon whimpered while Nekomon sighed.
"Tai, you didn't vote." Sora said.
Tai was deep in thought over what was going on and I didn't blame him.
"So Tai, what do you think?" TK asked.
Opening his eyes, Tai looked over to the small blonde.
"What should we do, Tai?" Kari asked.
"Well, uh…" he stuttered.
"We're waiting for an answer." Tentomon sang as he flew by.
Sora was looking Tai over in worry.
"OK, we're going, but just to look around. But we don't necessarily have to start any trouble." Tai said as he walked over to the group.
"Right!" the digimon who agreed nodded.
"It's this way, guys." TK said as he ran with everyone but me, my digimon and Sora following him.
"Sora, Dai?" Tai asked as he turned back to them.
"I'll go along with your decision, but I'm still not sure it's safe." Sora said.
"I know it's dangerous Sora and we're not looking for trouble, but if anything happens, Koromon and I will hold off Puppetmon while you take the others and escape. I won't let anything happen to you." Tai said.
"You mean it?" Sora asked.
You can just see the chemistry between them can't you?
If they don't get married then I'm gonna lose it and Kari won't be that far behind in freaking out.
"Of course I do." Tai said.
"OK then." Sora said.
With that decided, we all started running off to catch up with the others.
Finally, we came to a colorful house in the forest and stared at it from a safe distance as Tai pulled out his telescope to take a look at it.
"So that's Puppetmon's mansion, huh? There are two guards! See who they are." Tai said as he handed his digivice over to Izzy who had his laptop opened.
The redhead took it and placed the digivice into the slot to check out the digimon.
"Analyzing. One of them is Floramon. She's a plant type digimon who digivolves like a reptile. Her main attack is Rain of Pollen." Izzy said.
"And the other guard is…Deramon. At first glance it looks like a bird type digimon, but it's actually got a plant growing out of its back. Prodigious." He said.
"So they're not Ultimate digimon right?" Tai asked.
"Right." Izzy said as he handed the digivice back over to the child of Courage.
"But we should be careful. They could be quite dangerous. Shall we go?" Tentomon asked as he flew off.
"Wait!" Tai called to him.
"Hmm?" Tentomon asked as he stopped near Kari and TK.
"There might be more guards inside. I'll go inside and make sure the coast is clear. You guys wait here until I get back." Tai said.
"But I think Patamon and I should go with you. After all, we're the only ones who know where everything is in there." TK said.
"Right." Patamon chirped.
"Sorry it might be dangerous." Tai said.
"Come on Tai; don't treat me like a little kid." TK said.
"You are a little kid." Nekomon muttered.
"That's not it." Tai said.
"What if we go together as a team?" Kari asked.
"I agree with Kari. There's nothing to be afraid of if we all go together." Izzy said as he raised his hand.
I'm starting to think he might like my sister since he always seems to be around her and talking to her; he isn't that much older than her after all, so it isn't a problem.
"What do we do, Tai? You decide." Koromon said.
"All right everyone, we're going. Follow me." Tai said getting his spunk back.
"Let's go." Koromon said.
"Koromon digivolve to…AGUMON!"
They ran out at Floramon and Deramon, Tentomon hitting the flower with his Super Shocker while Agumon hit Deramon with his Pepper Breath, who frowned at them.
"If you wanted fried chicken, you could've asked." Deramon said.
"Sorry, we thought you guys were out here protecting Puppetmon's mansion." Agumon said.
"Oh, so you barbeque me?" Deramon snipped as Floramon stepped up beside him.
"We're not here protecting anything." Floramon said.
"Sorry, it was the guys' fault." I said jabbing a thumb in Tentomon and Agumon's direction.
"Then what are you guys doing?" TK asked running up to Deramon.
"We were supposed to be Puppetmon's playmates. You know someone to attack when he gets bored. Let me fill you in on a little secret. Puppetmon is an obnoxious jerk and none of us around this place can stand him." Deramon said.
He had his hands cupped over his beak as TK had his hand by his ear like they were sharing a secret with each other.
"Oh yeah, now I remember. Puppetmon doesn't have any friends even though he thinks he does." TK said.
"That's right." Patamon said.
"How sad." V-Mon said.
"Wow, what could be worse than life without a single friend?" Kari asked.
"A little box lined with fly paper." Gatomon joked making Kari laugh.
"Ha! So is Puppetmon inside the house right now?" Tai asked.
"I think he's out being fumigated for termites." Deramon said.
"So what should we do, Tai?" Agumon asked.
"Now's a good chance to take a look inside of the mansion." Tai said.
"Deramon, will you show us around?" TK asked.
"Sure, I used to be a tour guide at Digimon Studios." Deramon said.
He and Floramon then turned and started to led us in before they stopped and turned back to us.
"Oh, no video cameras, flash photography, food or drink are allowed during the tour." Deramon said.
"Great, let's go!" everyone said.
"The structure was built before the digital revolution." Deramon said as we all followed him off into the mansion.
Pausing a bit, another vision came into my mind and I saw that Joe and Mimi met up with Ogremon, but they were all getting along just fine, as if he had a change of heart.
Then I saw that Puppetmon went to attack then, but was stopped by a metal monkey that…sang.
No…
Etemon is back.
Great, just what we need right now when we're trying to save the world, that stupid monkey making a comeback and playing his awful music.
Should I tell the others about this or just let them find out on their own?
"You all right there, Princess?" Nekomon asked making me look up at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said as we walked off to the mansion, but I could still feel his and V-Mon's concerned eyes on my back.
Floramon and Deramon pushed the door open to show a large staircase in front of us with a big blue present with a red bow on it.
Out of it popped what looked like an army robot that shot at us making us split up and run so we didn't get hit, me going with TK, Izzy, Floramon and our digimon and we came up upon a fire truck that was in the middle of the hallway.
"It's a toy." Patamon said as he, Agumon and V-Mon gathered around it.
"Oh no! Make sure you don't touch it!" Floramon warned.
Too late since Patamon placed his paw on it and the red light on the truck lit up.
"Uh oh." Patamon said.
"What's happening?" Agumon asked.
"Watch out, get down!" Floramon yelled as she grabbed it and threw the truck out of the window.
We all dove to the floor as the truck blew up, smoke coming in from the window.
"It was a heat activated bomb." Izzy said.
"That stupid piece of drift wood has a brain for danger." Nekomon said.
"That's why I said don't touch anything." Floramon said sternly.
Patamon was on Agumon's head, both ducking their heads down.
"Sorry." They said.
The others then joined us and stared at the hole made in the wall.
"What happened in here?" Sora asked.
"We just found out that Puppetmon uses all his toys as weapons." V-Mon said.
"Then why don't we use that?" Gatomon said.
We all looked at her in confusion of what she could be planning while Nekomon smirked.
(Later on…)
"Puppetmon's coming back. Are you ready?" Tai asked.
He, Agumon and Izzy had a cannon pointing out of the window that Tai had looked out of with his telescope to spot the Master of Wood.
"It would help if I had some idea of how it worked." Izzy said.
"You do it." Agumon said turning to Floramon and Deramon.
"What?! That's against every principle I stand for." Deramon said.
"Yeah, but think of it this way; ya get to teach that jerk a lesson he deserves." V-Mon said.
Deramon seemed to be thinking this over before he nodded.
"All right, what the heck? I'll do it. But don't tell Puppetmon, it'll be our secret." He said as he held a feather up to his beak and made a shushing sound.
"Yeah, yeah." Tai smirked.
"We know." Agumon said.
Floramon and Deramon then both pushed the cannon over to the window.
"I've got him in my sights." Deramon said.
"Ready, aim…fire!" he yelled.
The cannon balls started to blast at Puppetmon making him turn and run off screaming in the other direction, but he then got annoyed as he realized that it was us in here so he came running back with his hammer raised.
Just then, a vision of Joe, Mimi, Palmon, Gomamon, DemiMeramon and Ogremon having MetalEtemon going after them came to me and then this large lion with saber fangs and was on all fours appeared before them.
Man, this isn't going well.
To be continued…
