Digimon Season 2.5 "Digimon Adventure 03"

Episode 2: "The Adventure Begins!"

.:Thunder Mountain, Digital World:.

Thunder Mountain was situated in a place in the Digital World that most Digimon feared to tread. For miles around there were dusty wastelands with rocks, some as big as houses, poking out of the ground.

But Thunder Mountain was one that towered above them all. It could be seen from miles away and was easily recognised by the distinctive storm clouds that always lingered at the peak of the mountain.

No matter how sunny or bright the weather was around the mountain, nothing could force the storm clouds to disappear. They had been there since the beginning of time and would stay there until the Digital World's time was up.

The only building around for miles was the stone building at the bottom of the mountain that Gennai and Centarumon had been watching yesterday.

In one of the rooms of the castle, a shadowed figure past briefly by the small window.

"Well, well. I must say I was quite impressed with you're first battle." The shadowed form began to speak. His voice was low with a hint of chilling evil in it.

The figure, male, was wearing a large black cloak with the hood up that covered almost his entire body. What only could be seen was his black boots with metal straps across each one. His face was shrouded in darkness from the hood and only his two piercing red eyes could be seen. His eyes were the only source to his emotions.

"Despite the fact you almost lost to those two pathetic Digimon." He grunted with disgust before continuing. "I think you did rather well considering the circumstances."

The person he was talking to was the girl who had appeared earlier that night in Odaiba with her partner Garurumon X.

She was leaning against the stone wall with her arms crossed. "I can't believe you made me do that. Was there any point?" She muttered glaring at the hooded person at the other side of the room through her shades.

The cloaked figure chuckled. "Don't question my plans dear child. You must have trust in what I do."

The girl stood up right clenching her fists. "Well maybe I would have trust if I knew who I was working for!" she snapped.

The eyes from the hooded figure narrowed, clearly not pleased she had talked back to him. He spun round to face her. "I told you. My identity is not important right now."

The girl's anger was starting to rise. "So you keep telling me. And guess what? I'm sick of it! I've been taking your orders for months now. I'm grateful for what you did, really I am but I think I've paid my debt back, don't you?!" she continued to rant.

"You better watch you're tone child!"

"Find yourself another person to do your dirty work, I'm through!" She yelled, turning on her heel and storming towards the wooden door. Her hand just touched the doorknob when her partner, Garurumon X jumped beside her in an attempt to stop her.

"If you walk out of that door it'll be the last thing you ever do!" the figure's voice bellowed pointing at the door, revealing his black gloved hand.

The young girl's hand remained on the doorknob. She was frozen there for a few seconds before sighing irritably and turning back to face the older boy.

He smiled evilly. "That's right." He chuckled, knowing he had full power over her. "Now get back over here." He demanded.

The girl walked across the dark room until she was a few feet away from him.

"I think I'll be the judge of when you have paid your debt… don't you?" he mocked her. He walked around so he was now stood behind her. "Don't you forget what I did for you."

The girl closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she felt his cold breath on the back of her neck. "How can I?" she replied in a whisper.

"You were helpless. In the cold and rain with only your weak rookie as protection." He began to say, images of that night flooding back in the young girl's mind. "That monster would have killed you if I had not come to your aid."

The blonde child sighed. "I know."

"And after I destroyed the monster what did you say? You said you owe your life to me. You would repay me."

"I know." She replied again.

"And don't you forget it." He whispered in her ear, sending a shiver up her spine. He then stood up right and walked around to face her. "Now my child, you're next task. There is a herd of Tyrannomon living in Fossil Canyon. Capture them and bring them to me."

The blonde girl watched as he walked away from her towards a chest of drawers. "You expect me and Garurumon X to take down and capture a herd of Tyrannomon? That is physically impossible!" she exclaimed.

The dark being chuckled and opened the top drawer. He pulled out something. "You are right." He replied keeping the object hidden. "That's why I am giving you this." He turned to face her once more holding up a small syringe filled with black liquid.

"What is it?" the girl asked, giving the syringe a questionable look.

"This is the X antibody virus." Her master replied. "Very rare I know, but I stumbled across a Digimon infected with the virus quite some time ago. I extracted some of the virus from his body and have been creating supplies of it ever since. It's what I used to infect your Digimon here."

"And what does it do?" The girl asked, glancing from her Digimon partner to her master.

"Take a look for yourself." He motioned at her Garurumon X. "It changes a Digimon's strength and appearance as you can see. But, after a little modification I did to the virus, any Digimon infected with it automatically obeys my every command." He chuckled.

"This doesn't help me you know." The youngest replied annoyed. "Those Tyrannomon aren't gonna listen to me even whey they are infected."

"That is where you are wrong child. As long as you have your new digivice, one I created myself with the virus, any Digimon infected will also obey you." He took out something else out of the drawer. It was a brown belt with syringes attached all the way around it.

"Here." He handed her the belt. "You'll need more than one syringe. You must inject the entire virus into their system. I think there is about eight in the herd, but I'm giving you extra just in case any little accidents happen."

The girl hesitated before taking the belt and strapping it around her waist. "Yes sir." She mumbled.

.:Ishida apartment, Odaiba:.

Matt opened the front door to his small apartment and allowed Gabumon to limp inside before closing the door behind him.

He flicked the lights on and lazily kicked off his shoes before walking further into his home. "You gonna be okay Gabumon?" he asked.

Gabumon had taken a seat on the sofa. He gave his human partner a reassuring nod. "Yeah. Just some food and rest and I'll be fine." He replied. The rookie Digimon then noticed his friend glancing at a bedroom door that was marked. 'Stacey's room'.

Matt slowly grasped the door handle and opened the door. Taking one step into the room he sighed as he glanced around the small blue painted room.

It was exactly how his daughter had left it five months ago.

Gabumon saw the depressed look on Matt's face. "Don't worry. She'll come back."

Matt sighed once more. "Really? After months of searching an no clues expect one to her whereabouts you really think she'll come back?" The blonde haired man then pulled out the one clue the police had found from his pocket. It was his daughter's blue and silver digivice.

It had been found in the middle of the park. The last presumed place the girl was before she vanished.

"What I don't understand is how she vanished? Surely if someone had tried to take her Gabumon would have been there to protect her." He continued through gritted teeth. Sometimes this situation would get too much for him.

Gabumon slowly shrugged. "I can't answer that one." He replied sadly. "It's like she's disappeared off the face of the earth…"

.:Zepp Tokyo, Odaiba:.

It was the next morning, a Saturday, and Dawn was stood outside Zepp Tokyo staring up at the roof. The building was closed until 6pm so no one was around at this time.

Agumon was stood behind her, wearing his dark blue jacket. "Ah c'mon we've been stood here for ages. Just looking up there isn't gonna open the portal to the Digital World." He said breaking the silence.

"That girl made it look so easy though." Dawn replied sighing. "But if the Digital World is open how come all the computer portals are still closed?"

"Why don't you talk to the grown ups about this?" The overgrown lizard suggested. "They'd be able to find out more."

"I guess." The young girl mumbled looking down at her orange and silver digivice in her hand.

Soon, sounds of footsteps were heard growing louder. Both human and Digimon turned around to see who was heading their way.

A young boy and his Digimon turned the corner into plain sight. "Oh hey Dawn." It was Jonathon with his partner Tentomon. "What're you doing here?"

Dawn clipped her digivice back onto her belt. "Nothin'. What're you doing here?" she asked back.

"I'm on my way to my father's research lab. This is just a small short cut to the train station." The black haired boy replied.

"You spend way too much time in that dumb lab." Dawn replied crossing her arms.

"Hey it gives me a chance to learn new stuff about the Digital World. You're welcome to tag along if you want." Jonathon replied with a warm smile.

Dawn scoffed. "No thanks. I've got better stuff to do on my Saturday morning like-" but Agumon cut her off.

"That's a great idea!" the rookie smiled before he nudged his human partner in the side and whispered "This'll give you the chance to talk to his father about what happened last night."

Dawn sighed. "Yeah… super." She muttered sarcastically.

.:Shuto Expressway Route 11, Odaiba:.

Dawn stared aimlessly out of the train window as it crossed Rainbow Bridge. Her elbow was propped up on the armrest of the chair and her chin was resting in the palm of her hand. She gazed down at the bay before watching each metal pole from the bridge pass by.

Jonathon, who was sat in the seat behind her with Tentomon, noticed the girl's bored expression. He leaned forward. "You ok? You seem a little distracted." He commented.

"It's nothing'" Dawn mumbled not taking her eyes off the water outside.

"Hey Jonathon's way more intelligent than you. So don't try to outsmart him into thinking its nothing." Tentomon replied.

Jonathon chuckled. "He's right. C'mon you can tell me."

The young Kamiya girl sighed and turned around to face the older boy. "You wouldn't believe what happened last night." She spoke. "There was a Digimon battle outside Zepp Tokyo." She whispered so to not alert other people's attention.

Jonathon gave her a puzzled look. "Is that why you were standing there this morning?" he then gave a small laugh. "Was this another one of your dreams?"

"No!" Dawn snapped.

Agumon turned around. "It's true. I was there. Her father and Mr Ishida were battling this Digimon that appeared. Garurumon X I think it was called."

"There was also this weird girl on top of Zepp Tokyo's roof. She was just stood there until she lifted her digivice into the air and this light shot down from the sky and somehow she was transported to the Digital World." Dawn explained.

Jonathon and Tentomon both glanced at each other. "Surely sounds like one of your dreams." The insect Digimon said.

"This wasn't a dream!" Dawn exclaimed loudly.

Jonathon smiled and held up his hands in defence. "Calm down. You can explain more when we arrive at my father's lab."

The train exited Rainbow Bridge and entered the city centre before coming to a slow stop at the main station in Tokyo.

Jonathon, Dawn and their Digimon exited off the train with the other passengers. They headed out of the station and onto the streets of the city.

"My dad's lab isn't far from here. Just a few blocks away." Jonathon said, leading the way through the busy streets.

Dawn just nodded and followed the black haired boy. Hands in her pockets she slowly tagged along behind.

She casually glanced down a passing alley way but had to halt and look twice when she thought she saw something. Down at the bottom of the alley was a small patch of light. It was glowing brightly.

"Hey Dawn!" her Digimon's voice grabbed her attention. "What're you doing?"

Dawn looked at Agumon. "I…" she then looked back down the alley but the light had gone. "Uhhh… nothin'. I'm coming." She hurried to catch up with her friends wondering what that light was. Maybe she was just seeing things.

.:Izzy's research lab, Tokyo:.

Izzy was busy typing away at his computer. After being informed of the events from the previous night by Tai, he had spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to close the rift in the barrier that separated earth from the Digital World.

Jim walked back in from the other room where most of the electrical mains were. "Well everything back up and running from last night's power cut. Had a little trouble getting the second laptop to work but it's sorted now." He explained.

"That's good. But I'm afraid we've got another situation." Izzy replied.

Before he could explain more, the front door to the lab was heard opening. "Hey Dad!" Jonathon's voice was heard before he entered the main room followed by Dawn and their Digimon.

"Hey son." Izzy greeted him. "Oh hi Dawn didn't know you were coming too."

"Didn't have much choice." The girl mumbled.

Haruhiko, who just walked into the room, spotted his granddaughter and smiled. "Hey sweet pea." He greeted her before taking his seat at his computer.

"Hi Grandpa." Dawn smiled. "What ya up to?" she asked, sitting opposite him.

Haruhiko chuckled. "I'm afraid it's a little too complicated for you to understand."

Jonathon looked over to where the brown haired girl was sat. "Hey Dawn; come tell my father more about what you saw last night." He called.

"Your father explained everything to me last night." Izzy told Dawn.

Dawn stood up. "Did he tell you about the girl? And the weird light that appeared from the sky?" she asked.

The older man nodded. "Everything. And I've already done some research on this and come up with a few results." He explained. He typed a few things on his computer and a map of Tokyo appeared. And on the map were small red dots that appeared for a few seconds before disappearing and popping up in a different location.

"What're those?" Jonathon asked his father.

"Portals. I've called them Digital Splits. You see, these red dots are small portals that keep appearing everywhere in Tokyo. They are small patches of glowing light. They will appear anywhere but will disappear after a few seconds and reappear somewhere else as you can see on the map."

Dawn suddenly remembered the light she saw in the alley. "Hey that sounds like something I saw on the way here!" she exclaimed.

"You saw one?" Haruhiko asked.

Dawn nodded. "Uh huh. It was down an alley. I turned to tell Agumon but when I looked back it had gone." She explained.

"Sounds like a Digital Split to me." Izzy added. "It's been happening ever since last night when that huge lightning bolt ripped the barrier apart. We managed to repair the barrier as much as we could once we had the power back on but I'm afraid it's been damaged way beyond full repair."

"So in result of these damages, the Digital Splits have been appearing all over the city. This means it's a heck of a lot easier for Digimon to cross from the Digital World and into earth." Jim continued to explain.

"You mean we could have a Digimon invasion on our hands?" Jonathon asked looking from Jim and to his father.

Izzy sighed and nodded. "If they ever enter one of those portals from the Digital World, yes."

Haruhiko stood up from his seat. "That's why we're gonna be monitoring all Digimon activity here from now on. As soon as a Digimon enters earth we can pin point it and stop it before it causes damage."

Jonathon looked a little unsure about this idea. "But that means you have to constantly keep an eye on things. Won't that be a little tiring?"

"Don't worry." Izzy reassured his son. "We've set up the system so when I am away from the lab, it'll alert me through my digivice."

Dawn let out a bored sigh and sat at one of the computers. All this techno talk was giving her a headache. She took the computer mouse and began to click on various things.

Agumon caught her out of the corner of his eye. "Uhhh I don't think you should be playing with that." He commented, standing beside her.

"Where are the games on this thing?" She asked, seemingly to ignore her Digimon's comment. She clicked on something and the computer bleeped and a portal appeared on the screen. Dawn jumped back a little startled.

Everyone turned around after they heard the computer bleep. "What did you do?" Haruhiko asked with a chuckle.

"I didn't do anything!" Dawn exclaimed, holding her hands up in defence.

Izzy walked over. "It's alright, she just loaded the portal on the…" he trailed off as he studied the Digital Portal.

Jonathon saw the look on his father's face. "What is it Dad?"

"The portal…. It's… its open." Izzy stuttered a little. "It can't be… It wasn't open this morning… was it?"

A grin appeared on Dawn's face. "The portal's open? We can go to the Digital World?" she asked excitedly. The young DigiDestined whipped out her digivice. "Let's go!"

"Hold it there!" Izzy exclaimed, holding the ten year old back. "You can't go rushing into the Digital World like that. Especially as it'll be your first time."

"I'll be there to protect her." Agumon spoke up, just as eager as his partner to enter his home world after five years.

Izzy's Tentomon sighed and shook his head. "You young kids don't understand the dangers the Digital World possesses. Take it from us who have had years of experience."

Izzy nodded. "He's right. I'm sure your parents won't be happy if you went into the Digital World and ended up getting hurt, or even worse killed." He warned the girl. He then walked back to his own computer with Jonathon following. "I'll contact Gennai and ask him about this. Surely he would have alerted me if he was gonna re-open the portals."

Dawn clenched her fists. She stormed over to the back door. "I'm going out for some fresh air." And with that she left the room with Agumon by her side.

"Adults always ruin your fun." She muttered as she slumped against the wall in the back alley once she was outside.

But then, unexpectedly, a Digital Split appeared right where Dawn was standing. The patch of light covered the middle part of her body.

"What the heck?!" Dawn exclaimed.

Agumon gasped. "Dawn get outta there!" he cried leaping forward. But just as he lunged forward to push her away, the young girl disappeared. The rookie stumbled into the Digital Split and he too disappeared from the back alley just a second before the light vanished….

.:Fossil Canyon, Digital World:.

Dawn and Agumon both looked around their new surroundings. They were stood in the middle of the canyon where a small breeze blew across. All around were small and large rocks, dusty ground and the odd cave at the sides.

Dawn was grinning as she observed the new atmosphere. This was unreal. She was finally in the Digital World. "We've finally here Agumon. Let's explore!" the young girl took off ahead but paused when she noticed her Digimon was stood still, looking around with cautious eyes.

"C'mon Agumon!" she called. "I'm not gonna spend my first time in the Digital World gazing around the place. Let's go!" she exclaimed growing a little impatient.

But Agumon remained still. "It's quiet here… too quiet." he muttered looking around his surroundings. Something wasn't right here. But the unusual quiet was disturbed when a faint roar echoed off the walls of the canyon.

About half a mile down the canyon, a lone Tyrannomon was sniffing around a pile of rocks. He then brushed some away with his claws. He was trying to find food. But his ears soon pricked up when he heard the familiar roar of a Tyrannomon.

It was very faint but Tyrannomon just managed to hear it. He abandoned the rocks and turned his attention in the direction of where the sound was coming from. He recognized that roar. It was the roar Tyrannomons made when they were in danger.

"What was that?" Agumon asked hearing another roar similar to the first one.

"It came from over there." Dawn pointed down to where the canyon made a sharp turn to the right. She set off down the canyon with her rookie Digimon right behind her.

They ran, the dirt and dust rising as their feet disturbed it from its place on the ground. Turning the sharp corner in the canyon, Dawn came to an abrupt halt with Agumon crashing into the back of her.

Agumon peered out from behind his partner to see what had caused her to stop so suddenly. Ahead were a group of Tyrannomon. A herd, of about seven with only three standing, while the rest were lying on the ground.

Dawn fished out her father's mini telescope and held it up to her right eye wanting to get a better look at the situation. "Hey!" she exclaimed. "It's that Digimon from last night… Garurumon X!"

"What's he doing to those Tyrannomon?" Agumon gasped.

"He's beating them." Dawn replied. "But wait, that girl is there too, from last night. She's injecting something into those poor Digimon!"

Like Dawn had said, the mysterious girl whipped out her fifth syringe and injected it into the Tyrannomon who had just crashed to the ground. "Good work Garurumon X." she smiled as the last few drops of the virus disappeared into the champion's body.

Garurumon X slashed his claws at the last two Tyrannomon. They both collapsed and the ground shook a little due to their weight. "Lets hurry this up." He growled as he glanced at the fallen herd.

"Patients Garurumon X……. wait." The girl paused. She had two syringes in her hand to use on the last two Tyrannomon but when she came to count the herd there were seven. Not eight. "There's one missing!" she angrily exclaimed.

Garurumon X huffed. "There's no way I let one escape my clutches. There must have been one missing before we arrived."

The girl growled under her breath and plunged the two syringes into the two Tyrannomon's body. "That's all we need. To go on a stupid dinosaur hunt…" the liquid from the syringes soon disappeared. "Ah forget that last Tyrannomon. Seven should be enough."

Dawn glared at the blonde. "C'mon Agumon… let's get em'!" she was about to lunge forward but Agumon grabbed hold of her red t-shirt, holding her back.

"Dawn I'm up for a battle just as much as you are but look at them!" he exclaimed quietly as his human partner glanced back at the herd. "Garurumon X is powerful and I'm pretty sure whatever that girl has injected into those Tyrannomon is not good. There is no way we can last one minute against that lot."

"But we can't just stand here and let her do this!" Dawn shot back. She shrugged off Agumon's grip and darted out of their hiding place. "Hey you, Stop!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

The blonde haired girl turned around at the sound of the voice. She narrowed her eyes. "Argh! We've been spotted. By a DigiDestined by the looks of it." She muttered.

"Leave them to me." Garurumon X snarled. "Just start leading these Tyrannomon back to the castle."

"Right." His partner nodded. She then addressed the Tyrannomon. "Alright you dumb dinos! Back to Thunder Mountain, let's move, move, move!"

The seven Tyrannomon, who were already starting to show small signs of change in their appearance, slowly got to their feet and began to follow the girl who was sprinting down the canyon.

"Come back!" Dawn yelled. "You're not gonna get away that easily!"

Garurumon X jumped up onto a large boulder. He titled his head upwards and spat out a ball of blue energy from his mouth.

The attack flew up with so much power that when it struck the very top of the canyon wall, huge boulders and rocks began to fall, plummeting down right into the path of Dawn and Agumon.

Agumon gawped but reacted instantly by pushing Dawn and himself out of harms way. "Look out!"

They both crashed to the floor. They slid a little on their stomachs before coming to a slow stop in a cloud of dirty dust. That just added to the already huge amount of dust that was in the air from the rock avalanche.

Dawn coughed as the dust got into her lungs. She got to her knees and looked up just to see the silhouette of Garurumon X getting smaller and smaller as he made his get away. "Damn." She muttered under her breath.

Agumon sat up rubbing his head. "Is this what you waited all these years for? To almost get flattened?" he mocked.

"Ah shut up." Dawn retorted as she got to her feet, dusting the dirt off her clothes. But as she did, a huge shadow suddenly appeared over her. She froze what she was doing and stared down at the ground.

The two friends slowly turned around. They didn't wanna make any sudden movements that might anger whatever was behind them. Agumon gulped. "I think we might get that battle you've been after."

It was the lone Tyrannomon. After hearing the danger cry from one of the others he had made his way back. But the scene was different from how he had left it. His friends had disappeared and all that was left was a girl and a small Agumon. A low growl rumbled in the throat of the dinosaur's Digimon.

Agumon took a small and single step back. "I think he believes we're responsible for what has happened to his friends!"

"Oh yeah?" Dawn replied. "If he's picking a fight then he came to the right DigiDestined!" she exclaimed bravely, grasping her digivice in her right hand.

"Leave it to me." Agumon responded. He darted to the right and bolted across the canyon.

Tyrannomon focused his attention on the overgrown lizard and pursued him, his tail swinging from side to side.

Agumon scrambled up onto one of the boulders. "Pepper Breath!" he discharged his fireball, which rocketed through the air and hit Tyrannomon in the face, burning his eyes.

Whilst Tyrannomon was busy overcoming his temporally blindness, the little rookie leaped down from the boulder. "Claw Upper Cut!" he pulled back his right arm first before releasing his claw attack and then doing the same with the left.

Slash after slash caused Tyrannomon to stumble back a step at a time. But once his sight was back, he lunged his claws at Agumon and slapped the overgrown lizard to the ground.

Dawn watched her partner fall to the ground motionless before glaring at Tyrannomon. "Hey you lame excuse for a Digimon!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. That grabbed the dinosaur's attention. "Leave Agumon alone! We didn't hurt your stupid friends!"

Tyrannomon pounded his two feet against the ground in anger. He took one step at a time, his blue eyes fixed on the girl every second. He couldn't wait to destroy this little brat.

"That's right. Not so tough now are ya huh?" Dawn taunted him with a sly grin.

.:Izzy's Research lab, Tokyo:.

Jonathon glanced up at the clock that hung on the wall. Dawn had been gone for quite a long time. Surely she would have cooled that hot headed temper of hers down by now? He stood up and headed out of the same door Dawn had before.

Stepping out into the crisp late morning air, he glanced around the back alley. There was no sign of Dawn or Agumon anywhere. She wouldn't have wandered off… would she?

Jonathon sighed and walked back inside, closing the back door behind him and heading back into the main lab room. "Dad, Dawn's gone." He spoke.

Izzy looked up from his computer. "What? She's not wandered off has she?" he asked.

"She's got her digivice on her right?" Jim asked Jonathon who nodded. "Well then I'll just type a few things in here and I can pin point her exact location."

Haruhiko stood behind his younger colleague and waited until her location appeared on the screen. Once it did, the old man gasped. "Impossible…"

"What?" Izzy asked, standing up and joining his two workmates. He too gasped when he saw the location. "She's in the Digital World?!" he exclaimed. "How is that possible? She didn't go through that portal."

"It doesn't stop her from going through one of the Digital Splits. If one appeared in that back alley imagine how tempting that would be for her." Jim explained.

"I'll go after her." Jonathon insisted. "Just load up a portal to her location and I'll have her back here in no time."

Izzy hesitated. He knew his son would be responsible and not run head first into danger, but he knew even the most careful people could end up in trouble. But he also knew he couldn't keep Jonathon away from the Digital World. Especially now that he was a DigiDestined, like him.

"Okay son." He finally spoke. "Just please be careful."

"I will Dad don't worry." Jonathon smiled as he got out his purple and silver digivice.

"Her location is Fossil Canyon… loading portal now." Jim spoke as he typed away on the keyboard. "Now once the portal is loaded a Digital Split will remain there until you travel back through it." He explained and the young boy nodded.

A portal appeared on the screen and Jonathon held up his digivice. There was a flash of light that filled the entire room and the young black haired boy and his partner Tentomon were transported to the Digital World for the first time….

.:Fossil Canyon, Digital World:.

Dawn stood her ground even though Tyrannomon was almost on top of her. "I'm not afraid of you! C'mon, give me you're best shot!" she exclaimed.

Tyrannomon growled a chuckle. He was going to show just how powerful he was to this little girl. He opened his mouth began to prepare his best known and most powerful attack… his Blaze Blast.

Agumon stirred, opening his green eyes. What had just happened was a slight blur in his mind. But reality soon came rushing back when he lifted his head and saw what was about to happen. "Dawn!" His eyes were now fully open and he jumped up bolting straight for his best friend.

Dawn could see the fire forming at the back of Tyrannomon's throat. But Dawn's cocky attitude, similar to her father's when he first entered the Digital World, was about to get the better of her.

"Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon breathed out his intense flame attack.

Agumon threw himself forward and collided with Dawn, sending them both crashing to the ground barely missing being burned alive. "Are you… okay?" he asked getting his breath back.

Dawn looked from her partner to where the attack had burnt the dry ground. She gulped as reality finally hit her hard. If it wasn't for Agumon she would have been killed… this wasn't just an adventure game… this was real.

Agumon stood protectively in front of her. "This Digimon's gone too far. I may have attacked him first but I was only trying to weaken him enough to explain what happened to his friends… but he just went one step too far."

Dawn's digivice gave two sudden bleeps and the screen exploded into a bright ray of light. Dawn and Agumon both shielded their eyes with their arms with Tyrannomon squinting and taking a few steps back.

The digivice shook before something bright and small burst out of the screen and hovered in the air. Both DigiDestined and Digimon studied what had emerged but it was hard to distinguish what it was as it was surrounded by the bright light.

The circle of light began to fade and descend slowly to the ground. The glowing light gave way to what it was hiding… it was a golden ring. It floated like a feather and Agumon held his hand out to catch it.

As soon as the ring touched his claw, the overgrown lizard felt a surge of energy rush through his body. He gasped as his strength levels increased dramatically….

"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO… GREYMON!"

"W-what's happening?" Dawn stuttered.

Agumon had been engulfed in a bright light and seemed to grow bigger and bigger. Once the light faded he had been replaced by a larger and fiercer dinosaur Digimon.

"Greymon…" Dawn murmured under her breath. She recognized the new Digimon instantly. Her father had told her all of his Digimon's digivolutions and she now knew her own Agumon had digivolved into the champion stage.

Greymon and Tyrannomon circled each other like two dinosaurs fighting over their territory. Both showed their sharp teeth as they growled under their breath waiting for the other to make the first move.

Jonathon and Tentomon were making their way steadily down the canyon. The young boy had his purple and silver digivice in his hand, not taking his eyes off his friend's signal.

"She should be just around this corner." Jonathon said. He then broke out into a small run. Not too fast as he wasn't very athletic. "Let's get to her before she gets into any trouble."

Tentomon flew behind his partner and the two friends turned the sharp corner in the canyon to be confronted with the battle against Greymon and Tyrannomon.

"It looks like she already has." Tentomon commented.

"Dawn!" Jonathon yelled running up to his friend who was stood on the sidelines of the battle.

Dawn snapped her attention away from what was happening. "Jonathon? What're you doing here?" she asked as he approached her.

Jonathon chuckled. "Coming after you. You know this wasn't the way I wanted to spend my first day in the Digital World chasing after you." He tried to crack a joke. But he then noticed his younger friend didn't look so much like herself. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It's nothing. Forget it." The young Kamiya girl muttered. She wasn't about to admit to him she was afraid.

Greymon lowered his head and charged. The large horn on his head pointing directly at Tyrannomon. He clashed with his foe and pushed with all his might against Tyrannomon's weight.

Tyrannomon mimicked Greymon's action and both were stationary for just a couple of seconds before Greymon threw the other dinosaur to the ground like a rag doll.

"Nova Blast!" Greymon unleashed his fire attack.

"Blaze Blast!" Both attacks collided with much force. But Greymon's had the more strength and overpowered Tyrannomon's mighty Blaze Blast disintegrating it. It smouldered Tyrannomon's skin as the red dinosaur wailed in agony.

The attack had weakened Tyrannomon radically, especially his defences. He lay on his back; his eyes closed grunting in pain.

Greymon decided to not destroy Tyrannomon but just temporally halt him from attacking. And the best way to do that was to trap him. The orange dinosaur pounded his way to the side of the canyon. He clenched his fists together.

And with one mighty punch, he slammed his two fists into the canyon wall. The whole area shook from the force and a large crack appeared in the wall. It slowly made its way to the top. A small pebble chipped away at first but that was followed by most of the wall collapsing.

The rocks, big and small, came tumbling down burying poor Tyrannomon in an avalanche of rocks…his muffled cries heard beneath rubble.

Greymon began to glow once more and shrunk in size d-digivolving back to Agumon.

"Agumon!" Dawn rushed forward and ran to her rookie partner with Jonathon and Tentomon closely behind.

Unknown to the children and their Digimon, a pair of ocean blue eyes were staring down at them. The blonde girl was stood on top of the canyon wall.

She titled her shades down to get a better look. She sniggered under her breath. "Well, well… not so tough now are you… Dawn."
