To all readers-I'm reposting this again because I'm ready. I want everyone (especially one reader in particular) to that I don't like being rushed when I'm writing. I like to write at my own pace and have each chapter up to my standards. If you dont like the way I write any of my fanfiction, then you dont have to read it. Its strictly your choice whether or not you read any of my fanfiction at all.
I DONT OWN DIGIMON: DIGITAL MONSTERS! I ONLY OWN THE OC AND THE OC ALONE!
Shoutouts:
Up in Devimon's castle on Infinity Mountain, Devimon was proud of his work. "I, Devimon, had completely separated those eight brats and their pesky digimon. That is, until Tai and Mimi caught up with Matt and Izzy. I'll make sure they never find their other friends. Especially with the plans that I have for Joe and Sora, on that lovely holiday, the Bakemon holiday." said Devimon, laughing evilly as he looks out into the water.
Meanwhile, Joe and Gomamon were floating in the ocean. "If there's one thing I learned about the DigiWorld: beds don't make good boats." said Joe sighing and turns around to see Gomamon eating food from his bag. "Did I just hear you eating again?" Gomamon nodded his head in reply.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat all that food since we don't know when we'll find land? I told you that we'll need to ration which means save food for later, much later." said Joe.
"But it is later, Joe. You told me that twenty minutes ago." said Gomamon.
"Twenty minutes is not much later!" shouted Joe, then starts shaking Gomamon back and forth. "Please tell me that there is some food left in the bag!"
"Well, no since you can't handle eating and floating on the ocean at the same time, I ate it all." said Gomamon. "Besides, I need food to digivolve in case we run into bad digimon."
"So do we see any bad digimon? No! If I starve, who are you going to protect?" shouted Joe and gets sick again.
"That's enough about food. Things will get better soon. Hang in there, buddy." said Gomamon, rubbing Joe's back. He then sees a crate heading straight towards them. "That crate is going to hit us."
"Maybe it's full of fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, cereal, hot dogs, cookies, candy and soda!" Joe said excitedly.
"I wish." said Gomamon, doubting what Joe said was in the crate.
"You wish?" asked Joe. "We wouldn't need more food if you hadn't eaten ours!"
"You're strong when you're hungry." said Gomamon as Joe shakes him back and forth again.
"Starvation is a good motivator. Looks like we need a jack hammer to open this. Hmm…let's see." said Joe but then the top of the crate bursts open to reveal Ogremon.
"Ogremon!" yelled Gomamon.
"Right you little Digi-pests. Pummel Whack!" shouted Ogremon, swinging his club at Joe and Gomamon, who dodges it until it breaks the bed in half.
"Come out of the sea, Marching Fishes!" shouted Gomamon and different colored fish started popping out of the water and straight for Ogremon.
"I'm not scared of some stinking fish!" shouted Ogremon. "On second thought, that really hurt!"
"What powerful force could cause this evil digimon to be driven back and out muscled by a bunch of small fish?" asked Joe.
"When the small and weak join forces to fight for a good purpose, they can often bring the down fall of the big and powerful." said Gomamon.
"Get off of me!" growled Ogremon and punches the fish back into the ocean.
"Then again, sometimes they don't stand a chance." said Gomamon, sheepishly.
"And neither do we!" yelled Joe.
"And now for you, meats." said Ogremon and attacks Joe again, but suddenly his digivice starts glowing.
"Gomamon digivolve to…Ikkakumon!" bellowed Ikkakumon.
"You're bigger now. I'm so scared…not! Here's some hand-to-hand Pummel Whacking!" shouted Ogremon as he starts throwing rapid punches at Ikkakumon's face.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" shouted Ikkakumon, firing his horn at Ogremon, knocking him back into the crate. "Joe, you've gotta climb up onto my back."
"Cowards! Go ahead and run! See how far you'll get!" taunted Ogremon as it falls on deaf ears as Joe and Ikkakumon swim away. "Fraidy cats! Come back and fight! I dare you!"
"Oh man, I don't like adventures. I'm a stay home and read kind of guy." said Joe, then notices something was wrong with Ikkakumon.
"I'm tired and hungry and sinking." said Ikkakumon, tiredly.
"Sinking is bad. Hey Ikkakumon." said Joe. "Wait a minute, I thought you were supposed to be some sort of super water mammal."
Once back in the water, Ikkakumon de-digivolved back into Gomamon. Meanwhile on a shoreline, Sora casts a line out into the ocean to try and catch something. "Sora is fishing! Sora is fishing!" sang Biyomon as she walks up to her. "Catch anything?"
"Not yet. Give me time; I'm hoping to catch something big." said Sora.
"I'd even be happy if you caught me a little sardine." said Biyomon, rubbing her stomach.
"Please, I know how hungry you can get." Sora said to her digimon. "If I caught any kind of fish, you'd be there eating it with me."
"Well, since you put it that way. Do you really think you can make a big catch?" asked Biyomon then sees her line go under. "Oh, look maybe there's one now."
"Oh boy, it feels like a whale!" said Sora as she pulls on her line. "This is a whopper for sure!"
"Pull harder." said Biyomon.
"I'm trying to." said Sora.
"Let me help." said Biyomon and wraps her wings around Sora's waist and pulls.
"Help!" said Joe, weakly.
"Oh my, that's a person! Joe!" exclaimed Sora as she sees who it is and tries harder to pull him in. Afterwards, Joe was laying on a bed of leaves next to a fire while Gomamon tells Sora and Biyomon what happened.
"Then a large crate drifted over to us, Ogremon popped out and attacked us." said Gomamon.
"Goodness, how horrible." said Sora.
"It was, but I digivolved and we escaped him, but then my strength left him. I just couldn't seem to keep up my energy. The next thing I knew, I was sinking deeper and deeper. When I opened my eyes and looked around, I finally spotted Joe nearby." Gomamon explained. "He was unconscious at the time and sinking fast. I tried to get him to the surface, but my strength was giving out again and I knew I couldn't hold my breath for much longer and that's about the time your fishing line hit me so I grabbed that line and wrapped it around Joe and hung on until you pulled us in."
"Oh my goodness! I'm so glad that the both of you are okay." said Sora.
"But I'm worried about Joe." Gomamon tells her.
"You are?" asked Biyomon.
"Joe's going to be just fine, Gomamon." Sora assures him.
"Well, yes physically but I'm worried about his confidence." said Gomamon. "Fighting Ogremon back there really knocked him out. He needs to build his self-confidence."
"How can we help him?" asked Biyomon.
"Very simple. We just make him our leader." said Gomamon and suddenly Joe wakes up.
"Huh? Hey, where's Ogremon?" asked Joe looking around him.
"He's gone." said Biyomon.
"But we've got a bigger problem, we can't find any of the others." said Sora. "What should we do? We're stuck on this deserted island with no leader. So I guess you're going to lead us, Joe."
"What?!" Joe shouted in shock.
"I'm for him." said Gomamon.
"And me." added Biyomon.
"Not me!" objected Joe. "I'm not a leader."
"You have to. You're the strongest one here." said Sora as Gomamon and Biyomon nodded.
"Not to mention the bravest." said Biyomon.
"Come on, Joe. Remember how you fought the Unimon?" reminded Gomamon.
"I am brave. You're right! I am the bravest one here!" shouted Joe.
"Well, let's not get too carried away." said Sora, seeing Joe's appointment at leader is starting to go to his head.
"Oh, but if I fail who will save you or me?" wondered Joe.
"My fish line." joked Sora when suddenly they hear the sound of bells ringing.
"Did you hear anything?" asked Joe.
"Yeah, it seemed to come from up there." said Sora, seeing something on top of a hill.
"What do you suppose it is?" asked Biyomon.
"Looks kind of like a church." said Sora.
"Wherever there's a church, there's usually people. Maybe our friends." said Joe.
"Someone should check it out." said Sora.
"I'll go." said Biyomon and starts flying off.
"Wait Biyomon, Joe's our leader now." said Sora and turns to him. "Well, lead us."
"What if we see a bad digimon? Ah I need a moment. Okay." said Joe and leads them up the hill, doing a military march.
"Must he keep up with that army march dribble?" asked Sora, quickly getting annoyed with their 'leader'.
"Halt! Notice anything?" asked Joe as they come to a stop and look around.
"It all sort of looks familiar to me as if it's a place I've dreamed about or déjà vu." said Sora. "You know, like we've been here before."
"You're right, this definitely looks like part of the island that broke away." said Joe.
"Yeah." agreed Sora.
"Yup, so we should find everyone else or at least some people taking shelter in that church." assumed Joe.
"You're assuming there quite a bit there." Sora tells him.
"Fine, that's my opinion!" shouted Joe.
"I'm just giving you another view." said Sora.
"I'm the leader here!" said Joe.
"Okay, excuse me." said Sora, backing off.
"Let's move out!" ordered Joe, quickly walking off.
"Wow! We've created a monster." said Sora, crossing her arms.
"Hey, you think a black gear got him?" Gomamon joked.
"Gomamon." giggled Sora.
"Okay, step lightly troops. Let's have no stragglers." said Joe as they arrived at the front. "There's the church."
"Who's going in?" asked Biyomon.
"What are you waiting for?" asked Sora, causing Joe to freeze up.
"What's wrong?" asked Biyomon.
"Well, boss." said Sora.
"Joe, you're the leader. Do you want me to take a peek?" asked Gomamon.
"No, I don't want you taking a peek! I can't wait to go in there!" shouted Joe and he walks off.
"I think it worked." said Gomamon, as the three of them laugh.
"Okay, I'm afraid." thought Joe as he looks around the corner to see a group of people dancing badly. "I was right. Just a normal group of people."
Joe rushes back to the others. "Oh, hey guys, whoa. There are people in the church! Dancing badly, I might add!" said Joe, shocking them.
"There are people. They're dancing and wearing masks like its…Halloween." said Sora, unaware of a masked man standing next to her.
"Hallow-what?" asked the man, scaring the four of them. The man then takes the small group of digidestined inside the church.
"They're celebrating the Bakemon holiday." said the man.
"It reminds me of Halloween." said Joe.
"We would love to have you join us. We don't have a lot of young people around." said the man. "And no holiday is complete without them. You arrived just in time for some…fun."
"Like trick or treat? You do that for Bakemon?" asked Joe.
"Yes." said the man.
"Wait, Bakemon as in Lord Bakemon?" asked Gomamon.
"Yes." the man replied.
"But the only Bakemon I know of is a horrible digimon who lives among ghosts as their ruler." said Gomamon. "Why would you honor and celebrate someone like that, in the words of our friends, he's like a loser."
"You got that right." said Biyomon.
"Don't you dare come in here and tell us who to honor or not!" the man shouted in the two digimon's faces.
"Now, now." said Gomamon.
"Back off!" said Biyomon.
"You're a little touchy. We just want to know when the trick or treating starts." said Sora.
"You're not afraid?" asked the man and they all shake their heads.
"Well, you should be cause it's a trick…" said the man and his mask starts cracking, shocking Sora and Joe. "…and you're the treat." In the man's place, was now Bakemon, scaring Joe and Sora.
"The masked man was the evil digimon, Lord Bakemon, in disguise. No one had ever seen him in his true form." said Gomamon.
"Bakemon!" yelled Biyomon.
"It is Bakemon!" shouted Gomamon. Just then, all the other people turned into Bakemon as well and started chasing them out of the church. Once they were outside, all the other people had turned into Bakemon as well
"The dancers. They were Bakemon too." said Sora as the church starts to crumble away.
"Spiral Twister!" shouted Biyomon, sending a green spiral flame at Bakemon.
"Gomamon digivolve to…" Gomamon started to say, but trips, not having the energy to run.
"Gomamon!" yelled Joe.
"I need food. You were right, I should have saved some earlier." said Gomamon.
"Biyomon digivolve…" Biyomon begins to say but then grabs her stomach from the lack of food.
"Biyomon!" shouted Sora in worry.
"I'm hungry, too. Can't digivolve." said Biyomon as all of the Bakemon captured them.
The Bakemon threw Biyomon and Gomamon into a jail cell while Joe and Sora were being tied up to be eaten. "Okay, don't panic." Joe assured Sora. "I'm still in control and feeling strong."
"Okay." replied Sora.
"Waaah! I don't want to be somebody's appetizer! I'm supposed to go to Med School!" Joe cries out, cracking under pressure as the Bakemon puts salt and pepper on him and Sora, causing Joe to sneeze.
"Salt and pepper? You're not really going to eat us, are you?" asked Sora.
"You're a little on the scrawny side, but you'd be surprised what a little seasoning can do." said one of the Bakemon.
"You think we can finagle them into dining on someone a bit bigger?" Joe asked Sora.
"What kind of fiend is this guy? We're just kids." said Sora. Meanwhile in a jail cell.
"There must be a way out of here." said Biyomon as she and Gomamon feel against the wall for an exit.
"Maybe we've been looking in all the wrong places." said Gomamon.
"There's not much room to look in this place." said Biyomon, then suddenly she came up with an idea. "Hey! We may be able to trick the guard and escape."
"We may be able to trick him. I think that's a given." said Gomamon. "He doesn't look too smart."
"Right, so first we have to try and wake him up." said Biyomon.
"And how are we going to do that?" asked Gomamon. "Look at him, for a ghost he sleeps like a log."
"We just have to get his attention or we'll never escape." said Biyomon and Gomamon nods his head. "But I'm all out of ideas."
"I think I have just the thing." said Gomamon and picks up a pebble, then throws it at the sleeping Bakemon, hitting him on the head.
"Hey, what's the idea?" asked the Bakemon.
"So when do you start?" asked Gomamon.
"Start what?" asked Bakemon.
"Start taunting us you floating bag of wind." said Gomamon.
"What?" asked Bakemon, confused.
"You give bad digimon a bad name." said Biyomon.
"But I haven't learned to taunt anyone yet." said Bakemon.
"It's easy. You just find out what we want and don't let us have it." explained Biyomon.
"Here's how you taunt; we're starving and want to eat so you show us food but don't give it to us." said Gomamon. "Got it?"
"I think I gotcha." said Bakemon. "You know, I've got a bunch of bananas."
"Then taunt us with them. Come on." said Biyomon.
"Okay. How's this? Looks good, doesn't it?" asked Bakemon, holding up the bananas.
"I can't see. Come a little closer." said Gomamon.
"Here?" asked Bakemon, coming a little closer to the cell.
"You have to come closer to taunt us. We can't really see them." said Biyomon.
"You bet. See?" said Bakemon as he gets a little more closer, but then the two digimon attacked him, taking the bananas away from him before knocking him out.
"That was a pretty good idea." said Gomamon as they eat the bananas.
"Never get between a digimon and his meal." said Biyomon happily. Meanwhile the Bakemon were getting ready to eat Joe and Sora.
"You don't want to eat me. I'm mostly gristle anyway." said Joe.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Sora, feeling offended. "Are you saying they should eat me first?"
"Can't you see its curtains for both of us?" Joe asked sarcastically.
"Oh you can have your pity party somewhere else." said Sora.
"We're scary ghosts. We like to boo. Now it's time to chew on you." said the Bakemon as they gathered in a circle and started spinning around Joe and Sora. "Now it's time to chew on you." Just then, all the Bakemon merged together one huge Bakemon.
"Gomamon digivolve to….Ikkakumon!" shouted Ikkakumon.
"Biyomon digivolve to….Birdramon!" shouted Birdramon. Just before the giant Bakemon could eat Joe and Sora, the two-champion level digimon appear from the floor below.
"Your timing couldn't be better!" shouted Joe, seeing his digimon partner.
"Go get Bakemon!" Sora shouted to Birdramon.
"While we get out of here!" both of them shouted as they ran right out of the church and hide behind a couple grave stones. As Ikkakumon and Birdramon fought Bakemon, he pushes both digimon out of the church.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" shouted Ikkakumon, firing his horn at Bakemon, who then redirects it.
"Meteor Wing!" shouted Birdramon, firing fireballs at Bakemon but her attack somehow didn't affect him. Bakemon was winning, but Joe is determined that to help their digimon.
"Wow." said Joe.
"He's putting up a good fight." said Sora. "Lord Bakemon is tough."
"His power comes from evil. Only good can beat him with time." Joe tells her.
"What if it's too late?" asked Sora.
"It's never too late to fight evil." said Joe. "But we have to weaken Lord Bakemon to help our friends prevail."
"We?" questioned Sora. "You're the leader, not me."
"Don't be a quitter." said Joe.
"What makes you think we can beat him?" she asked.
"I once saw this show about this Roman physicist. He believed that repeating a word or phrase focuses mind over matter." Joe explained.
"Let's focus on running." said Sora.
"No, we focus on Bakemon losing power." said Joe.
"Ok, you're in charge. Start focusing." said Sora. Joe puts his hands together and begins a chant.
"Bakemon, lose your power. Bakemon, lose your power." Joe chanted. "Bakemon, lose your power. You can jump in at any time now. Well?"
"Right, but…" said Sora, nervously and tried to sputter out an excuse before taking off her hat. "Well, we'll use my lucky hat."
Joe starts bang a stick on her hat to keep a steady rhythm as he continues chanting. "Bakemon, lose your power. Bakemon, lose your power."
Just then, the Bakemon begins to shrink and loses his strength. "Joe, Bakemon is getting weaker. I believe it's working." said Sora.
"Bakemon better pick his food more carefully. We won!" shouted Joe. Ikkakumon and Birdramon fired their attacks again, causing Bakemon to explode. "Take a hint. Take the highway."
"Way to go guys! You got Bakemon!" exclaimed Sora as Joe cheered and suddenly the ground splits opened.
"It's an earthquake!" shouted Joe.
"But we're not shaking." said Sora and they looked down to see a ton of black gears in the crack. "Uh oh, those are black gears."
"Lots of them, huh." said Joe.
"Now we're shaking." said Sora. Suddenly they stopped shaking and the island broke apart.
"Wow! I'm sure glad those black gears broke." said Joe as the fog clears up.
"I'm glad Bakemon's gone." said Sora. "Look, its Infinity Mountain."
"And that's where we're going." said Joe.
"Yeah." said Sora and they hopped onto their digimon who takes them to the mountain.
"Maybe our friends are there, Sora." said Joe.
"I hope so." said Sora, hoping to see Tai and Keiko again real soon.
