AND ANOTHER!
I do have something to talk about this time though.
Would anybody be interested in doing a reading of this story?
In fact, I'm asking for two readings, and no, not both from the same author.
Unless of course you're a glutton for punishment, they hey, let me know and you'll be writing both of them.
Basically, the idea is one of the readings has the RWBY cast reading this, but the other has the Digidestined from Adventures reading, probably plucked from a point in time between the finale and the epilogue.
Now, just to make it precise, the RWBY cast means team RWBY, team JNPR, and at least Ozpin and Qrow.
As for the other group, that means Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Koushiro, Mimi, Jyou, Takeru, Hikari, Daisuke, Ken, Miyako, Iori, and just because, Wallace.
Yes, I use the names from the japanese version, got a problem with that? You won't like this story a lot then because it mostly uses the dialogue from the japanese version.
So, yeah, if anyone is interested in doing either of those readings, or even both, let me know, I'll see what you have to offer in terms of writing style and see if you're good to go.
The Blue Wolf! Garurumon!
The next day saw the party of 20 up at dawn and were now on their way to the mountain in the center of the island, apparently aptly named 'Infinity Mountain' according to the Digimon. Currently though, due to abnormally dense vegetation, they were sticking to the cliffside path that would take a bit longer, but wouldn't be as tiring compared to if they'd tried to force their way through the dense vegetation. Along the way, Gyro had also returned Ruby her old whistle, which she accepted with a grateful smile as it hanged around her neck.
As they were walking, Gyro was looking at his Digivice, thinking of the previous evening's events.
"Is something wrong, Gyro?" Agumon asked, walking up next to his partner.
"Hm? Oh, it's nothing. Just thinking about when you evolved into Greymon," he said. "I guess I was just thinking about why you did while the others didn't."
"Yeah, that was pretty weird actually, I thought everyone was gonna get bigger personally." Nora said, putting a finger to her chin.
"It wouldn't have been fair to Shellmon." Ren said with a bit of amusement, which spread as they all imagined their partners being bigger and all wailing on Shellmon.
After the mirth died down, Gyro spoke up again. "About that, I've got a theory."
"Oh? And what would that be?" Weiss asked, honestly curious.
"Evolution normally comes from necessity. A better way to achieve a goal. The Digimon all want to protect us," he started. "So...think back. The FIRST time they evolved, ALL of us were in danger from Kuwagamon. On the other hand, yesterday the only one in real danger was me…" he winced at the memory.
"So… they evolve to protect us then." Yang said in realisation, looking down at Biyomon, who smiled back up at her.
"I guess it makes sense, we don't really understand the Digivices ourselves, but we do want to keep you safe." the pink bird said happily.
"Unfortunately it goes without saying that I can't prove or disprove this theory...not without at least one of us being in enough danger that our partners would HAVE to evolve to save us." Gyro sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Good point. I mean, you'd have to be pretty nutty or stupid to purposely put yourself in mortal danger just to get a power boost, right?" Jaune chuckled, something all of them, even Nora did as well.
"Yeah, danger is bad. Let's avoid having to confirm or deny your theory as much as we can," Pierce said, to which they all nodded.
Unfortunately, it seemed Murphy was in a trolling mood that day, as just as they said that, a rustling was heard, as a large quadrupedal Rhino/Triceratops-like creature emerged from the bushes and seemed to be walking towards them.
"Oh screw you Murphy." Pierce muttered angrily as they prepared to run.
"Hey, don't worry guys, that's just Monochromon, he's a friendly guy… well, as long as no other Monochromon are around." Veemon said, waving off their concerns.
Digimon Analyzer: Monochromon
Monochromon. Data Type. An Adult Level Dinosaur Digimon. Monochromon are general regarded as peaceful Digimon that are easy to befriend, however, should another of their species be in the area, an intense rivalry with no regards for bystanders will commence. It's special attack is Volcano Strike, firing a ball of magma from his mouth that explodes on contact.
"Yeah? Don't turn around then." Gyro said with a twitching eyebrow, as Veemon did just that, and gaped at the second Monochromon behind them.
What soon followed was what all of them could tell would soon devolve into a mexican standoff...and considering what both opposing mon were packing, they sure as heck did NOT want to be in between when those horns started clashing. "Into the forest quick!" Ruby shouted, to which they all complied and jumped off the path and into the thick greenery, right as the two Monochromon charged and were soon ramming into each other in a territorial dispute.
"I vote we get away from here in case more show up and turn that dispute into a battle royale," Blake deadpanned.
"Seconded!" everyone agreed before they were running deeper into the forest.
Once they couldn't hear the sound of clashing Digimon anymore, they soon slowed their pace. "Geez, just our luck the one path we take, we just had to end up in a territory dispute. Hope this doesn't become a habit," Yang sighed. She may not be one to run from a fight, but she wasn't about to pick a fight with a random Digimon.
After that little incident, the rest of the day went by a lot more peacefully, as day soon gave way to dusk. "Hm...we'd better look for a place to set up camp soon," Gyro frowned, looking at the sunset coloring the sky.
"I agree," Weiss nodded, before turning to Tentomon. "Can you fly up and see if you can spot anywhere we might want to set up for the night?"
"Leave it to me," Tentomon nodded, before flying up. As he did, he got a whiff of something. "Hm...I smell water!" he reported, flying higher till he was over the trees and looked around. It was at that point he spotted something nice. "Hey! I see a lake!"
"Well, looks like we know where we'll be staying for the night," Ren nodded. A lake meant water and food, so they could restock on supplies and avoid having to dip into their current supplies unnecessarily...even if they still had a sizeable amount of Meat Apples left from yesterday.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Gomamon said enthusiastically as he made a beeline for where Tentomon was pointing.
"Hey, Gomamon! Don't run off on your own!" Jaune said, managing to grab him by the tail, stopping him from running off.
"Wohoo! Let's go!" Nora cheered, running past them.
"Not you too, Nora!" Salamon groaned as she ran after her partner.
Ren sighed, before looking at his partner who prefered to cling onto his back and peek from over his shoulder "Wormmon, if you could?"
"Of course." he said, before shooting a thread at Nora, giving his head a jerk and twirling it around her a few times, cocooning her up, her face being the only thing still visible once he was done.
"Alright everyone, let's NOT get separated as much as we can," Blake sighed. "The last thing we need is one of us to get jumped by a random Digimon."
"Hey, don't look at us. We weren't the ones who tried to run away," Pierce waved off while Salamon was dragging Nora back to the group.
"Traitor," Gomamon said, though there was no real heat behind it.
Eventually the group made it to the lake, and their eyes widened at what they saw. "Hey, is that an electric tram?" Gyro blinked at the sight of what was sitting on the small island in the middle of the lake.
"Seems like it," Pyrrha nodded, recognizing the shape and design from back in Mistral.
"Is this another thing that's from your world?" Gabumon asked.
"Yes, and much like the phone boxes before, its out of place. A tram can't be used without tracks," Pyrrha nodded.
"Doesn't help the lake looks weird with those huge electrical towers in it." Pierce added with a raised eyebrow.
"I get the feeling we're gonna be seeing a LOT of things that are out of place from now on," Blake said, coming up from behind them.
"But...maybe we can use that somehow," Patamon said, landing on her shoulder.
"Well...maybe. First things first though, we might as well check it out. The sun's still out, so we got some time before we need to set up camp," Gyro said.
"Okay, I'll be right back!" Ruby said cheerfully, having heard the whole conversation...and promptly zipped straight to the tram using her semblance, before coming back a few minutes later.
"And why did no one stop her?" Gomamon muttered dryly.
"Because she was still in sight and she's not you?" Palmon shot back at him.
"It's all clear, it even looks brand new." Ruby informed as she returned.
"That's good, guess we can use it as a place to sleep for the night." Yang said, before stretching her arms up high "God, sleeping on the sand made me all sore. It sucks your brother didn't pack tents along with everything else." Yang said the last part while looking at the twins.
"Tell me about it, he packs everything we need for a camping trip, except for the ONE thing we'd need the most." Pierce said, shaking his head with a sigh.
"Well, no point in complaining. At least we don't have to worry about carrying supplies thanks to him," Ren said, his voice lowering a little, while Nora for a second looked a little glum as she nodded in agreement.
"Fair enough," Yang conceded. "Well, since we've picked our camping spot for the night, let's get started on the campfire. I'll go get firewood!"
"I'll go gather some fruits!" Biyomon said enthusiastically as she flew towards the woods.
"I'll help," Patamon said as he flew after her.
"Hey, wait for me!" Tentomon joined in as well.
"I'll see if I can catch any fish," Jaune volunteered.
"I'll try and round the fish up for ya partner." Gomamon said as he followed after Jaune.
"Hey Ruby, can you help me look for edible plants?" Palmon asked, looking up at her partner.
"Sure," Ruby nodded. "Though...I've never done this kind of thing before," she admitted.
"No problem, I'll be sure to tell you which can be eaten and which can't," Palmon smiled.
"Well, in that case, I'll go help Yang with the firewood. Veemon, can you come too?" Pierce said.
"No problem! Let's gather plenty for tonight!" Veemon grinned as he and his partner walked after the blonde brawler.
"I'll go and see if the tram car can be made in any way more comfortable to sleep in." Ren said as he walked towards it.
"Maybe my nets can help?" Wormmon suggested, earning a nod from Ren.
"I'm coming too Ren! Come on Salamon!" Nora said with a grin as she picked up her partner and ran after the magenta eyed boy.
"I'll get the place set for the campfire," Gyro said. "Agumon, mind being our 'lighter' for tonight?" he joked.
"No problem," Agumon nodded.
"I'll go and lend Jaune a hand," Pyrrha decided.
"I'll help too," Gabumon said, following her.
"In that case, I'll see about getting some cooking utensils for the fish," Blake said, before turning to Weiss. "Mind helping me?"
"I don't mind...though I've never done anything like this before," the heiress admitted.
"Not a problem. We just need some skewers for when we're roasting the fish, and there are plenty of trees for us to use," Blake reassured, before a thought crossed her mind. "Gyro, do you happen to have a pocket knife in that pouch?" she asked...to which Gyro tossed her two in response. "Thanks."
With everyone working together, it wasn't long before they had managed to gather up plenty of supplies for the night in the form of fruit, mushrooms, herbs, with one VERY impressive haul of fish.
"You know, this is the first time I've eaten fish like this." Jaune said as he bit into his second fish of the evening.
"You might want to get used to it then. I don't think we're going to find a restaurant anytime soon." Gyro told him as he cleaned off the bones.
Everyone fell into silence as they continued to eat after that, until "I just noticed something." Blake cut through that silence while looking up at the sky.
"What is it?" Pyrrha asked, just as curious as everyone.
"None of the constellations are the same as the ones on Remnant." she said, making everyone look up into the sky, to see that she was indeed right.
"Huh, weird, it's not even the sky from our world, or else considering the climate we'd probably see something like the Southern Cross in the sky." Pierce noticed as they couldn't see any of Earth's constellations either.
"Speaking of that, what's your world like?" Yang asked, curious.
"Well, for starters, the year is different than on Remnant. Where as Remnant is in the year 2013 at the moment, our world, Earth, stupid name I know, is in the year 2068, though if that's because of a different calendar or something, I don't know. We have some pretty advanced technology back home, enough that we were able to leave our planet's atmosphere, and so far, we can travel up to the edge of our solar system, and have colonised some of the other celestial bodies there. Well, the solid ones anyway, can't set foot on the gaseous ones obviously, but we have a few colonies on Earth's moon, and the rest are mostly on a planet called Mars." Gyro explained as he picked his teeth with one of the bones.
"Wait, you were able to leave the planet's atmosphere? How? Dust loses it's properties each time we try and the shuttle just falls back down." Weiss asked, honestly curious.
"Well, sadly we had to use fossil fuels to power them, so our planet's atmosphere was kind of shot to hell till a few years ago when the use of a clean renewable energy source made cleaning up the atmosphere feasible. See, Earth doesn't have Dust, nor does it have Grimm… though I may have mentioned that last part last night, can't remember though. Anyway, the important part is, Earth is vastly different from Remnant, we don't even have the issue of race to deal with since we don't have Faunus, just people of different color. Thankfully in recent years that problem was fixed, especially when we were finally able to topple the last dictatorship on the planet." Pierce explained this time. "So yeah, it took a long time, but Earth is FINALLY well on its way to achieving a planet wide golden age."
"Wait, there was a dictatorship on your home?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah, bunch of crazies who thought they were gods, oppressing their people, took a while before the rest of the world decided to just straight up deal with them." Gyro said with a shrug.
"And by deal with them you mean…?" Pyrrha said, trailing off.
Pierce simply mimed putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger.
Everyone decided not to ask anymore on that subject, looking decidedly uncomfortable.
"So… uh… you said there wasn't any grimm right?" Nora asked, even she wanted to change the subject after that strange atmosphere.
"Yeah, none at all, we also don't have Dust, and for the longest time our main source of fuel was gasoline and stuff like that, but in recent years we've been able to switch to a cleaner energy source." Gyro said with a nod.
The group continued to chat a bit more, asking a few more questions about the world the brothers had come from, before the long day started to make itself known. With that in mind, they cleaned up the campfire and moved to the tram.
"Hey, this place is actually pretty comfy," Pierce mused as he sat down on one of the cushions. "And we got a good amount of room too," he added, looking to the section they'd covered in leaves and a few makeshift hammocks thanks to Wormmon for the Digimon to use.
"Yeah, its almost a shame we can't bring this with us," Jaune commented, idly fiddling with the control in the front, but unsurprisingly, the tram didn't move at all.
"Hopefully it doesn't get too cold." Blake said idly as she leaned into one of the seats, smiling as Patamon went into her lap and snuggled against her.
"Some of the Digimon are going to be plenty warm at least." Yang said as she looked at the ones that had fur or feathers.
"Hey, Gabumon, think I can borrow your pelt?" Gyro asked jokingly as he made grabby hands.
"Please don't." Gabumon said as he moved away from Gyro.
"Relax, just joking." Gyro told him with an apologetic smile, not expecting that to be a sensitive subject apparently.
"Please don't do it again Gyro." Pyrrha asked him, with a stern look.
"Right, right, sorry." he said with a simple nod.
"At any rate, we should decide who goes on first watch, then decide on the rotation," Ren said.
"Yo," Gyro simply said, volunteering for the first watch.
"I'll take second watch then," Yang volunteered.
"I'll take third," Jaune said with a small smile.
"Then it's settled," Pierce nodded.
"I'll go settled up closer to the water." Gyro said, stretching his arms, before turning to Agumon "Think you can help me make a small fire?"
"Sure thing." his partner said with a smile as the two walked back outside, while the rest of the group turned off the lights of the tram and settled in for sleep.
Once outside, Gyro and Agumon soon got a merry little fire going, Gyro making sure to have enough firewood ready for the ones who'd be taking a shift after him. Exhaling a little, he was mildly annoyed to see vapor coming out of his mouth. Seems it was going to be a cold night. "Looks like it's just you and me for the next few hours, buddy," he chuckled lightly.
"Yeah, might as well get comfortable," Agumon nodded.
The next couple of hours passed relatively uneventfully, the fire thankfully helping to keep them warm in the chilly night, while a light mist had settled in around the lake. Never let it be said that Gyro wasn't brave, but even he had to admit this whole setting was giving him the creeps. One too many horror movies he'd seen on Earth coming to mind.
Nearing the two hour mark, he got up, starting to walk away from the fire.
"Gyro?" Agumon said his name in confusion.
"Bathroom." was all Gyro said, Agumon nodding in understanding as he let his partner walk away to relieve himself.
Though, Gyro didn't notice that as he stepped off a large red leaf imbedded into the stone, that it twitched a bit before settling back down.
A minute later, the goggle head sighed in relief as he zipped his pants back up and used the water from the lake to wash his hands, moving away from the spot where he had relieved himself obviously.
He twitched after a moment, hearing something behind him, before quickly turning around, about to attack… and almost falling on his face when he saw it was only Pyrrha, looking out at the shore.
"Dammit, what is it with people trying to give me heart attacks?" he muttered as he regained his footing.
"Sorry." Pyrrha told him softly, looking a bit morose at the moment.
Gyro frowned at the look. "Something the matter?"
Pyrrha seemed to be having a bit of a debate at his question, probably asking herself if she should tell him.
"Look, if this is about what happened with Gabumon earlier, I'm sorry about that. I didn't think he was sensitive about that pelt." he said, raising his hands apologetically.
Pyrrha shook her head after a moment "It's not that… it's just, I was having a nightmare earlier, about the day before I left for Beacon."
Gyro winced a bit "I'm guessing it didn't go so well?"
She sighed "It really didn't. Most people don't know this, but I have an older sister. She and I got along rather well when I was young, but as my fame grew, our relationship became strained, and just before I left, we...got into a fight and I...said something horrible to her. I never got to apologize before all this happened..."
Gyro was definitely thrown for a loop at that information, not expecting for Pyrrha to be the youngest sibling in a family, but figured that it could make sense. At the moment though, that wasn't what mattered.
"Well… I'm sure once we're back, you can apologize. Siblings get into fights all the time, but at the end of the day, they don't hate each other, so if you tell her how much you regret it, I'm sure she'll forgive you." He said, trying to comfort her as best he can, without overstepping boundaries either.
He didn't want to be seen in a higher light than Jaune after all, because there was no way he was getting into explaining how he thought that Jaune and Pyrrha made a cute couple.
Pyrrha smiled after a moment "Right." she said, letting out a bit of a sigh "Thank you Gyro, I think I needed to hear that."
Gyro nodded, before grinning a moment later "Well, if you ever want to repay me, how about we have a spar once we finally get back? I want to see if that title everyone gives you is really all that."
Despite herself, Pyrrha couldn't help but smirk at that. "I'll take you on anytime." With that, she got up and started walking away.
"Where ya going?" Gyro asked.
"I need to clear my head. Don't worry, I won't be far away," she reassured.
Gyro nodded, before walking back towards the fire and sitting next to Agumon, smiling as his friend was starting to doze off.
He did jump a bit when he heard a voice start to softly sing into the mist.
Plus he recognized that song.
"Wait… that's the third ending of Fairy Tail… huh, didn't think I'd hear that here." he muttered, before shrugging, not noticing the short figure walking out of the tram behind him.
As for the short figure, who was actually Gabumon, he'd woken up a few moments ago, quickly noticing his partner was nowhere to be found and then started to step out of the tram when he heard a voice sing within the mist.
"I hope this isn't a trick by some kind of Digimon we don't know about." he muttered as he walked towards the source of the voice, being relieved when he saw it was only Pyrrha, who was walking slowly while singing.
"Pyrrha." he called out her name as he walked up to her, halting her singing as she turned to him questioningly "What are you doing up?"
"I couldn't sleep. I had a nightmare about something that happened a few weeks ago." she said with a sad smile.
"Was it scary?" he asked, worried for her.
She shook her head "No, just something I regret happened." her smile then turned more genuine "But as soon as we get back, I'll work on undoing it."
Gabumon returned the smile "I'll help you if I can."
Pyrrha couldn't help herself, laughing a bit at how sincere he was "Thank you Gabumon."
Back with Gyro, he was idly poking at the sticks in the fire with a branch to keep it going, when one of them popped, jumping out of the flame as Gyro had to lean out of the way of the burning piece of wood "Shit!" he swore when it came close to burning his nose.
He was about to simply pay it no mind after that, idly noticing the piece falling a large red leaf, before EVERYTHING shook.
"Oh what now?!" he shouted as he had to scoot away from the edge of the water while Agumon woke back up completely.
"I'm up!" he said, before having to get on his hands and knees when he felt the effects of the shaking "What's going on?!"
"I don't know!" Gyro replied back.
Quite obviously, the constant shaking woke up everyone in the tram, some of them falling out of the seats due to being disoriented. "Is this an earthquake?!" Ruby blinked.
"I dunno, but something feels weird," Palmon responded.
After a moment of righting themselves, a few of them, notably Weiss, Tentomon, Jaune and Gomamon where able to get outside.
"Gyro what did you do?!" was the first thing Weiss said.
"Nothing! An ember in the fire popped and this started." He shot back, a little incensed at being accused.
"Then why is the island shaking?!"
They soon got their answer, when a large shape suddenly emerged from the water.
It was a long serpentine beast with teal colored scales and red stripes covering its body, its head covered in a yellow helmet.
"Oh no! Seadramon!" Tentomon gasped in a bit of fear.
Digimon Analyzer: Seadramon
Seadramon. Data Type. An Adult Level Aquan Digimon. It uses its long serpentine body to wrap around its foes, and constrict them to death. It is, for the most part, simple minded, swimming away in the Net Ocean. It's special attack is Ice Arrow, firing an absolute zero breath from its mouth.
"Oh come on! Not another angry Digimon!" Jaune said, already starting to get annoyed.
"What has him angry though?" Gomamon questioned as he looked around, before noticing something "Ah! That's his tail!"
Everyone looked at where he was pointing with one of his flippers, before Gyro groaned as he saw the large red leaf "Ah dammit, the ember landed on that."
"So it really was your fault after all!" Tentomon said in a panicked voice.
"Hey, I didn't know our camp for the night was literally on top of a giant sea monster! So sue me!" Gyro shot back...right before the sound of rock breaking, before the island was literally being pulled along by Seadramon.
"Somebody stop the island!" Jaune shouted.
"We need to get Seadramon to either stop or get his tail loose!" Gomamon shot back.
"Easier said than done." Gyro said as he had to catch himself against the tram.
At the same time, back on the shore, Pyrrha and Gabumon had been caught off guard by the sea serpent rising out of the lake, trying to make it back to the small island quickly, before staring in shock at the remains of the pathway to it.
"No choice, we'll have to swim." Pyrrha said, before diving into the water, quickly starting to swim after the island being moved around by Seadramon.
"Oh dear, no choice I suppose." Gabumon said after a moment before jumping into the water and swimming after her.
Back at the island…
"I WANT OFF THIS RODEO!" Pierce shouted over the sound of rushing water, as Seadramon was now basically pulling them all over the lake in an almost demented water rodeo.
"I'm gonna be sick…" Jaune groaned, turning green.
"DON'T YOU DARE THROW UP WHERE YOU MIGHT HIT ONE OF US!" several voices shouted at his words.
Thankfully, it seemed someone up there was listening, as with one last sharp turn, Seadramon's tail came loose, allowing him to dive into the water, and the island to finally stop moving.
"Okay, we need to plan a counter attack," Gyro started. "But first…" he promptly ran to the edge, ignoring the fact that there was a sea monster in the water...and started emptying his stomach.
Everyone looked at each other...before promptly running to separate sides and doing the same.
"Everyone, are you-?!" Pyrrha started as she got close...then she realized what everyone was doing, and despite the danger, swam back a little in disgust. She'd rather NOT be swimming in their sick if she could help it.
Unfortunately, that ended up putting her in more danger, as she was suddenly yanked under the water.
"Pyrrha!" Gabumon shouted in alarm, grabbing everyone's attention as they turned to the water, seeing Gabumon swimming around trying to find his partner. He got his answer when Seadramon suddenly emerged from the water, Gabumon right under his head, resulting in the mon being launched all the way to the island. Once Seadramon was out of the water, they could also see what he had wrapped in his tail.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune shouted at the sight of the redhead tightly wrapped in the sea serpent's coils, and though she was struggling to break free, it was clear she neither had the leverage nor raw power to get free.
"This is bad! Agumon, can you evolve into Greymon again?" Gyro asked, hoping that first time would at least give his partner some kind of knowledge of how to do it at will.
Agumon responded by concentrating, looking like he was willing something to happen, but after a moment, he opened his eyes and shook his head. "I'm sorry Gyro, but I don't know how to do it again."
"Gomamon, can your Marching Fishes distract him enough for Pyrrha to get out?" Jaune quickly asked.
Gomamon shook his head at that. "Sorry Jaune, but Marching Fishes isn't really much of an attack. Sure they'd distract him, but Seadramon don't let go of something they have in their coils so easily."
"Palmon, can you maybe get Pyrrha out of there with your Poison Ivy?" Ruby turned to her partner..
"I can't, they're too far away!" Palmon said.
"Isn't there ANYTHING we can do?!" Pierce asked through gritted teeth, cursing the fact that they were in Seadramon's element where most of their partners and them for that matter, wouldn't be able to fight properly.
And that was when Seadramon finally decided to squeeze, HARD.
Pyrrha's scream of pain was like a knife cutting through the air.
And Gabumon couldn't bare to hear it.
"PYRRHA!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, he wanted to save his partner!
(Play Brave Heart)
At that moment Pyrrha's Digivice shone brightly, and much like with Gyro's, it shot out a 'signal' into the sky, calling forth a light that released a stream of data.
"Gabumon, Evolution!" Gabumon called out as the data flowed into his body, and he soon transformed. "Garurumon!" Gabumon's form changed from a bipedal reptile to a large quadrupedal mammal that resembled a wolf. His fur was a mix of white, silver and blue, with sharp blades of fur on his back, his claws a magenta color.
Digimon Analyzer: Garurumon
Garurumon. Data Type. An Adult Level Beast Digimon. His fur is said to be coated with the rare and legendary metal Mithril, making it sharp and turning his whole body into a powerful weapon. It serves as a great hunter no matter the environment, and remains loyal to those it calls friends. His special attack is Fox Fire, spewing a powerful blue flame from his mouth.
Garurumon dashed forward and did a might leap as he went straight for Seadramon's tail, his claws hitting the serpent fast and hard enough that it forced him to release Pyrrha with a pained screech, the girl immediately diving into the water and managing to swim to the shore of the island (the vomit in the water thankfully dispersed by now). When she got there, her friends immediately rushed to her side and helped her up, where she finally sagged in exhaustion from having the life nearly crushed out of her. When she could focus on the fight again, her eyes widened. "Gabumon evolved…!"
"Yeah, he did. Guess this is more proof for my theory, huh?" Gyro nodded.
Back at the fight, Seadramon tried to wrap his coils around Garurumon, but soon regretted it as he was met with the sharp mythril laced fur, causing him to recoil in pain, and giving Garurumon a chance to latch his jaws onto Seadramon's lower belly, bringing another screech of pain from the serpent who soon dove into the water and thrashed around in it in an effort to get the wolf off of him.
Garurumon held fast, and even started clawing at Seadramon's belly, earning another pained screech, before finally letting go after leaving the serpent with several new cuts and bite marks. Seadramon swam to get some distance and glared at the wolf, before opening his mouth and firing his Ice Arrow move.
Garurumon acted quickly and started to evade the attack, to which Seadramon followed. Garurumon managed some impressive dodges and maneuvers, but eventually Seadramon proved that this was STILL his element, and managed to catch Garurumon mid movement, causing ice to start coating him. After a few moments, he stopped attacking, thinking he'd managed to immobilize his opponent...only for the ice to shatter shortly after, Garurumon breaking free with little difficulty. Not giving Seadramon a chance to attack again, he opened his mouth, blue flames much like when he was Gabumon appeared, before being fired in a massive torrent. "Fox Fire!" he called out as the flames flew straight for Seadramon who countered with another Ice Arrow, the two moves clashing, kicking up a massive amount of steam, before slowly Garurumon's Fox Fire won out, and Seadramon was met with a torrent of blue flame to the face, the serpent pushed back, and soon fell back into the water, his face singed from the heat as he sank to the bottom, out cold.
(End Song)
As soon as Garurumon jumped out of the water, landing in front of Pyrrha, he glowed as he reverted back to being Gabumon.
While everyone certainly wanted to return to sleep, they knew that it would be stupid of them to just go back into the tram, so thanking their luck that when Seadramon had knocked them away they had been pushed against the shore, all of them got off the island quickly, before moving into the trees to resume their sleep, Gyro tagging out his watch turn with Jaune early.
As they slept, Pyrrha was leaning against a tree with Gabumon by her side. "Gabumon?" she whispered, wanting to see if her partner was still awake.

"Anytime, Pyrrha," Gabumon said warmly.
