" Where are we this time?" Chris asked as they looked around.
" It looks like some sort of jungle." Dorumon said. " Maybe there's some Digimon around."
" Let's have a look." Chris said as they started to walk. The two looked through the forest but could only see trees.
" I got it!" Dorumon said. " I'll climb the tree!" Dorumon climbed to the top and put a hand over his eyes to block the sun.
Chris looked up. " See anything?"
" No...Uh oh! Chris!" Dorumon said as he jumped down. " The Yanmamon are back!"
" Then let's go! You ready?" Chris asked.
" You bet! Dorumon digivolve to...Dorugamon!" Dorugamon said as Chris jumped on his back. The two flew into the sky toward the village. The Yanmamon were swarming the village and draining their data.
Chris put his goggles over his eyes. " Let me down here!"
" You wanna jump?!" Dorugamon asked.
" Yeah! I gotta plan!" Chris said as he jumped off. He started to fall to the ground, until he was caught by an owl-like Digimon wearing goggles. On his forehead was the crest of love.
" I knew it! Thanks Washington!" Chris said.
Washington stood on the ground, shaking his head. " He's always been reckless…"
Dorugamon charged into the swarm of Yanmamon and started to fire Cannonballs at them. " Leave the villagers alone!" He said.
Chris looked up at the Digimon. " What's your name?"
" You know me. I was Wormmon but when Washington got the crest of love, I became Aurumon. I'm mainly for flying battles, since my fighting isn't very great." Aurumon said.
" Let me down here, K?" Chris said. " You go do your stuff!"
Aurumon let Chris go and flew to fight the Yanmamon.
" Let's get to the town!" Chris shouted as he and Washington took off. When they arrived, an unlikely visitor await them.
" Sorry to interrupt but...I just hit the un-pause button." A young boy with blonde hair stood in front of Tito. He brushed some of his long hair from his face and looked at Chris. Beside him, a large Digimon stood there, Grimmon.
Chris looked over and his whole facial expression changed. " Tito?! Even you are here?! And Grimmon too?!"
" So you remember me…" Grimmon said. " I'm glad but you haven't seen anything yet."
" Sorry to interrupt but I think, I have some catching up to do with my...brother." Tito said.
" What are you doing here?!" Chris said. " And why are you with a Digimon like that?! He's evil!"
" Grimmon is my partner. In this game, it's Co-op. We work together. Me and Grimmon will take you and Dorugamon down. But first, I'd like to tell you about the next level." Tito said.
" Game? What the heck are you talking about?" Chris asked.
" Grimmon needs to Digivolve...but he is special. We are searching for something called the Chronos Core. With it, he will Digivolve and have the power to annihilate you. Anyways, I don't have time for all of this. So see ya!" A Yanmamon flew down in front of Tito and he climbed on. " Oh! And before I go. All of your little portals to different areas, are all shortcuts on one large continent. If you wanna find the Chronos Core, you might wanna try walking. Lazy!" Then, Grimmon and Yanmamon flew off into the distance.
" That was weird…" Washington said. " We'll we don't have time to do this game, let's just go."
" No!" Chris said. " We have to do this. We have to save him! It's top priority!"
" You don't boss me around!" Washington said. " I'm leaving!"
Chris grabbed his shirt. " We are going to find him!"
Washington grabbed Chris' shirt. " You can find him! I'm going."
Washington fell to the floor as Chris punched him in the face. Washington tackled him to the ground and the two started wrestling. They took turns punching each other in the face until Chris pinned him. " I have to save my brother from this! You know you would do the same if it was your brother! "
Washington stopped and looked up. He is just worried about his brother. I can't just leave him. What type of stepbrother would that make me? "Fine." Washington said. " I'll help you."
" Thanks." Chris said as they stood up. " Now let's go find that Chronos Core."
" Not yet."
Chris and Washington looked over to see Elijah walking towards them. " Elijah!" Chris said.
" Hi, Christian. Hi, Washington." Elijah said, smirking. " I'll make this quick. I'm challenging Chris to a battle."
" A battle? We are Digi-destined! We fight other bad people. Not each other!" Chris said.
" Yeah right." Elijah said. " Greymon!"
Greymon walked over to Elijah. The huge dinosaur totally out-sized the boys, " Yes? Elijah."
Elijah smirked at Chris and Elijah. " Nova Blast. Burn them to ashes."
Greymon looked at them. " I'm sorry. I do not wish to do this but I must do as commanded." Greymon prepared his fire. " Nova Blast!"
The ball of fire was on a direct path for Chris. Chris covered his face with his hands and prepared for the heat. To his surprise, Dorugamon had blocked the attack with his wings.
" You alright?" Dorugamon asked.
" I'm great. You holding up?" Chris asked.
" Yeah. Those Yanmamon were a warm-up. I needed a challenge!" Dorugamon flew towards Greymon. " Let's just see if he fits the title!"
" Greymon, teach that Digimon some respect!" Elijah said.
Greymon charged at Dorugamon and slammed into him with his body. Dorugamon flew higher into the air and prepared his attack. " Cannonball!"
Dorugamon flew around Greymon, firing Cannonballs at him from above. Greymon dodged most of them and then fired a Nova Blast at Dorugamon. Dorugamon couldn't dodge it and fell to the ground. As he stood up, Greymon headbutted him and knocked him into a tree.
" Come on, Dorugamon!" Chris said.
" Finish him, Greymon!" Elijah said. " This game is mine to win!"
" Game?" Chris shouted. " What is it with you people?! Can't you tell…" Chris shouted as he ran towards Elijah.
Everyone stopped and stared as Chris punched Elijah in the face, knocking him to the ground. " Can't you tell...it's real! Digimon are real! You felt that, yet you still say this is imaginary, a game?"
At that moment, everything turned white. Everyone disappeared. Nothing was left and Chris could see nothing but white. And when it cleared, he looked up and noticed.
He was in his bedroom.
