Hello! Here's episode 7 Not much to say this time round apart from thank you for the reviews etc Hope enjoy it! Oh and don't forget to review!
LilacKamiya: Thanks! She's been revealed in the last few chapters
Sync The Dragon Tempest: I'm not sure if I'll be using GranKuwagamon yet. I probably will do. And for Armadillomon I have a Digimon in mind for him. But you'll just have to wait :P
Phillip Clark: Yeah. that one review wasn't gonna stop me. The reason for the digivolutions is I like the original Digimon from the first two seasons, but to make it different I thought I'd change the digivolutions. Of course my fave digivolution is Agumon's so I kept his. I needed to give the hooded figure's ID away at some point.
Sithking Zero: Yep, had to bring the crests back Don't worry, he'll get what's finally coming to him :P
Fruitloop Trooper: Hmm that's a good idea. I'll have a think about that!
Digimon Season 2.5 "Digimon Adventure 03"
Episode 7: "A Dastardly Deed"
.:Dragon's Eye Lake, Digital World:.
Laughter filled the area surrounding the lake. It was late evening and the sun was just setting in the sky behind the tall mountains of the Digital World. Everything was peaceful except the noise coming from the two children and Digimon by the lake.
Dawn, wearing her swimsuit and shorts, climbed up onto a large rock and jumped down into the cool water of the lake. The sun had been shining on it all day so the temperature was just right.
Dan laughed as water splashed over him as his best friend entered the water. She resurfaced and shook her hair like a wet dog.
"Hey watch it!" Agumon exclaimed as water droplets splattered all over his face, some getting in his eyes.
"Relax Agumon. You're already in the water so you can't get any wetter." Dawn smirked as she began to swim on her back.
Dan put on his goggles and dived under the water. He swam beneath Dawn and then jumped up scaring her.
Dawn screamed in fright and splashed him angrily. "That's not funny! I thought you were an evil Digimon!"
Dan just smirked and splashed her back. This resulted in a huge splashing fight as the two best friends laughed with each other. Agumon and Veemon soon joined in and the four friends forgot the time as they continued to play lost in their own little world...
As the time past the sun completely disappeared in the sky behind the mountains but there was still a little light.
Dan glanced up at the sky. When he saw how dark it had gotten he swam up to the edge of the lake and grabbed his digivice from the side. He pressed the bottom button and the time appeared on the screen. It read 6:40pm. "Wow... I'm late for dinner!" he exclaimed, hauling himself out of the water and sitting at the edge of the ground in his wet black shorts.
Veemon jumped a little in the water. "Its mac n' cheese night too!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Agumon groaned and sank a little in the water. "Stop it, you're making me hungry."
Dan pulled his t-shirt over his head and put his arms through the sleeves. "You not coming home too?" he asked as Veemon climbed out of the water.
Dawn shook her head as she just lay on her back in the water floating. "Nah, I'll be home shortly. I'm just gonna hang out here a little longer. My parents are working late so my dinner won't be ready yet."
Dan picked up his sports bag and swung it over his right shoulder. "Okay then. I'll see you at school tomorrow, see ya!"
The goggle boy and Veemon waved goodbye as they headed into the darkness of the forest where the portal was located not too far away, leaving the two other friends alone.
Dawn sighed and continued to float staring up at the sky. The odd star was starting to appear, but very faintly.
Agumon swam up to the side and climbed out of the water, sitting on the edge with his feet in the water. "Can we not go home? The water's starting to get cold and this forest is spooky at night." He commented, glancing around.
Dawn didn't reply. She was still staring up at the sky."I wonder how old those stars are...probably thousands of years old... Man my history teacher could do a whole class on that."
Then suddenly it hit her. Her extra essay she had been given by Mr Koga. "Oh no!" she jumped up in the water off her back. "My essay!" she exclaimed, startling Agumon who was grabbing a cookie from her sports bag.
"What?" he asked, his eyes turning to her.
"My essay! My history teacher gave me extra homework for not paying attention in class and I haven't started it!" she explained. "I'm gonna get detention for a month and my parents said they are gonna ground me from this place if I fail one more homework!"
Agumon sighed and shook his head as he watched his human partner swim up to the side of the lake.
"I thought you did that?"
Dawn shook her head. "No... Man there has to be a way of getting out of it.
"The only way you'll get out of that essay is if a Digimon attacks the school or something." Agumon said with a slight laugh before biting into his cookie.
Dawn groaned and banged her head on the ground. But something came to her mind. "What a second... that's it!" she exclaimed lifting her head up. "A Digimon can attack the school!" she grinned.
Agumon almost choked on his cookie. "W-what!"
Dawn hauled herself out of the water and grabbed her red t-shirt. "It's perfect!" she began as she put her t-shirt on over her swimsuit. "I get a dumb Digimon to go to my school, cause a little commotion and cancel it for the day. That will then give me the weekend to do the essay."
Agumon got to his feet. "You know I was only joking when I said that. You could get in serious trouble for this. Wouldn't it be easier just to do your homework?" he questioned her.
Dawn seemingly ignored his comment and picked up her bag. "The Digimon won't cause that much damage. Maybe smash the odd window. But with a monster running around the school they just have to close it."
Agumon's expression was uneasy. "Isn't that going over the top just for a piece of dumb homework?" he asked.
Dawn shook her head. "There is no way I'm getting grounded from this place. I just know my history teacher will send a letter home if I don't do my homework. But if a Digimon attacks then he can't blame me and he would never know I didn't finish it on time."
Agumon sighed. "If you're really sure about this there's only one question... which dumb Digimon have you got in mind?"
Dawn thought for a second before a mischievous grin spread across her face. "I've got the two perfect Digimon in mind."
.:Tropical Jungle, Digital World:.
In a small clearing in the middle of the jungle, two very different Digimon were munching on a pile of fruit that lay at the bottom of the tree they were sat under. The two monsters, Sukamon and Chuumon seemed to be lost in their own world as they continued to eat their late supper, unaware of the two friends that were approaching them.
"Hey."
Sukamon and Chuumon stopped eating and with their mouths full of food they turned around to see who the young voice belonged to. Standing there was Dawn and Agumon.
Chuumon gulped down his food and jumped on Sukamon's head. "Hey you're one of the DigiDestined aren't you? What do you want?"
Agumon took a step forward. "Don't worry. We're not gonna hurt you. We just want to ask you something."
The two best friends looked at each other before Sukamon spoke; "Go on."
Dawn casually strolled over and leaned against the tree trunk. "How would you like to take a little trip to earth?" she asked with a small grin.
Chuumon scratched his head. "Gee we've never been to the real world before."
"Well here's your chance. All you've got to do is do me a small favour." Dawn continued.
"Like what?" The two Digimon asked in unison.
"All you've got to do is just show up at my school and cause a little distraction." Dawn explained. "Just run around and play pranks on people. Just enough to cancel school for the day, okay?"
"Why? Isn't that bad?" Sukamon asked, confused.
"Never mind why. You gonna do it or not?" Dawn questioned them.
Chuumon slouched on top of Sukamon's head. "What's in it for us if we do?" he asked.
Agumon stood up on his tiptoes and whispered to his partner; "Not as stupid as they look, are they?"
Dawn thought for a second. What did these two Digimon love? Then suddenly it came to her. "If you do this for me..." she began as she bent down and picked up an apple from the pile of food. "I'll supply you both with all the food you can eat." She replied as she chucked the apple up once and caught it.
Sukamon and Chuumon's face lit up as their favourite word was mentioned; food. They looked at each other and grinned before both replying; "We'll do it!"
Dawn smiled. "Sweet." Her smile turned into a grin. "Be at the portal at the edge of Primary Village at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and I'll open it to let you through to my world okay?"
"All you have to do is lay low until school is about to start and then when Dawn gives the signal run around and go crazy. Got that?" Agumon asked.
"We got it!" The two Digimon replied, smiling at the thought of all the food they were going to receive.
In the bushes, a pair of dark red eyes was watching them. He lay low until Dawn and Agumon left the area. Once they disappeared in the distance and out of ear shot the figure rose to his feet, the top part of his body showing. It was the mysterious cloaked figure.
As he took two steps to fully reveal himself, the leaves in the bushes rustled alerting Sukamon and Chuumon to his presence. As their eyes fell upon him, he smiled evilly and stood still. "Hello there. Care to do me a little favour instead?" he asked in a devilish tone.
And without warning he formed two dark balls of energy in the palm of his hands. He slammed the two energy balls into the defenceless Sukamon and Chuumon. Their painful cries echoed throughout the trees...
.:Kamiya apartment, Odaiba, Tokyo:.
It was the following morning. The time was two minutes past seven and Dawn was in her room getting her stuff ready for the day. She checked the clock and headed over to her computer that was already on.
She knew her parents were eating breakfast so she wouldn't be disturbed. Opening the portal she pressed the access button where the portal would be opened in the Digital World just outside of primary village.
There were a few moments of pause before there was a flash of bright light and Sukamon and Chuumon came flying through the portal and crash landed on floor in the middle of her bedroom. Sukamon was the first to get to his feet and observed the new surroundings.
"Wow... is this earth?" he asked, looking around. "It's smaller than I imagined."
Dawn rolled her eyes before closing her computer down. "This is my bedroom stupid."
Chuumon jumped up onto the small computer chair and climbed up onto a high shelf. "What's a bedroom?" he asked.
Dawn sighed and lowered her head. "Never mind."
Chuumon walked along the shelf but knocked one of the books off. It fell down and struck the small desk lamp that was situated beneath it. The lamp tipped over and made a loud 'clang' noise as it hit the wooden floor.
Dawn flinched. "Hey watch it!" she exclaimed quietly as she bent down and put the lamp back in its rightful place. "Can you please be careful? If my parents find out you're here I'll get in trouble."
Chuumon jumped down and landed on the top of Sukamon's head. "Sorry."
"Dawn?"
The young Kamiya girl jumped as she heard her father's voice. She panicked and pushed Sukamon and Chuumon into her open closet and shut the door before her bedroom door opened and her father walked in.
"Hey let us outta here!" Chuumon's muffled reply was heard.
The door creaked open a little. Dawn slammed her body against it to keep it closed as she grinned sheepishly at her father. "Hi Dad."
Tai gave her a suspicious look as he remained in the doorway. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"N-nothing." His daughter stuttered a little as she could feel Sukamon's force on the other side of the door.
"What's in the closet?"
Dawn had to think fast. If she hesitated her father would know she was lying. "Your birthday gift!" she blurted out. She pressed her body hard against the door.
Tai lost his suspicious look and smiled at her. "Can I have a peek?" he asked.
"Dad!" Dawn exclaimed. "No way! You don't let me look at mine, beside it's a surprise." She grinned trying to cover up her lies. "I know how much you like surprises."
"Fine, I give up. Anyway, I'm heading off to work now; you want a ride to school kiddo?" Tai asked.
"No thanks Dad. I'll walk." The brown haired girl replied.
"Okay, well I'll see you later tonight. Have fun at school." He winked playfully at her before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
Dawn breathed a sigh of relief and opened the closest door, resulting in Sukamon and Chuumon falling straight out and ending up sprawled out on the wooden floor. "You two have to be more careful. If you're seen before school it'll ruin the plan." She commented, closing the door once the Digimon had fallen out.
Chuumon sat up rubbing his back. "Sorry. But this is new for us. We're not used to hiding like that in the Digital World."
"Except for when we steal someone's food." Sukamon added as he too sat up.
Dawn rolled her eyes. "Just wait here and I'll check if my parents have left for work." She walked over to the bedroom door and opened it silently and just enough to see through it. She could see her mother and father at the edge of the kitchen. The young girl cringed as her parents kissed before her father left picking up his brief case in the process.
Sora finished her cup of coffee before placing it by the sink and gathering her paperwork that lay on the kitchen table. She put it in her file and grabbed her coat and bag. "Dawn!" she called, looking in the direction of her daughter's room.
Dawn jumped back from the crack in the door and waited a couple of seconds before opening the door, not so much to allow Sukamon and Chuumon to be seen. "Yeah Mom?"
"I'm leaving now sweetie. Don't be late for school okay? And I'll see you later tonight." Sora said as she put her coat on and grabbed her car keys. "Be good."
Dawn flashed her mischievous smile when her mother headed for the front door. "Don't worry Mom. I will."
.:Thunder Mountain, Digital World:.
Stacey was pacing up and down in the small dark and cold room that she called her own. After hearing about Gennai's death, a pain of guilt surged through her body once she was told.
"I knew what he was doing and I did nothing." She thought to herself as she paused by the small window and glanced at the scenery outside of the Digital World. "I could have stopped him... I could have alerted my father and..."
She sighed and stepped back from the window and leaned against the wall. Freedom. She had thought about it so much lately. Not so much when she was first brought here but recently ideas of how to escape crossed her mind. But something was holding her back.
"I can't go back now... how would I explain everything? They'd wanna know why I did what I did... it would be too difficult to go back now, I guess my home is here now."
The blonde haired girl took another peek outside the window. She wished she could be out there in the fresh air. She rarely got to go out and when she did it was orders from her 'master'. "Who am I kidding? I've got to get outta here."
.:Odaiba Elementary, Odaiba, Tokyo:.
As Dawn walked closer to the school, she grinned a little. She was finally gonna outsmart her history teacher. She had played the odd prank on him before but this was gonna top them all. Sukamon and Chuumon were walking next to her in the bushes, out of sight.
"This is gonna be great." She thought humming to herself. Checking the time on her digivice, it was 7:47am.
Approaching the school gates she leaned by the bushes. "Okay you two, wait here and when you hear the school bell that's your cue."
Dawn spotted one of the teachers looking at her, so she darted into the school grounds. Walking along the edge of the soccer pitch she spotted her cousin, Dan and Margaret's best friend Misa Jun "MJ" Takaishi, TK's daughter, stood by the bleachers.
"Hey!" she ran over and joined them. "How's it goin'?" she asked standing next to her best friend.
"You're actually here on time for a change." MJ giggled.
"Yeah, you're not up to something are you?" Margaret added, also giggling.
Dawn crossed her arms and pouted angrily. "What makes you think that?" she questioned them.
Margaret was about to speak when the sound of the school bell rang through the grounds.
Dawn secretly grinned to herself. "Show time." She thought. Waiting for the screams that would soon erupt from the other kids, she glanced to where she had left the two Digimon.
But nothing happened.
Dawn remained still, staring at the bushes next to the main gate. Any moment now, Sukamon and Chuumon would jump out and start running around...
"Hey Dawn, are you coming?" Dan called. Him, Margaret and MJ were already by the door to the school building.
Dawn slowly turned her head to the goggle boy. "Uhhh... yeah." She took one more look. Where were they? She sighed angrily and began to head into school before people got suspicious. But as she was about to step foot inside, a little girl's scream was heard.
The Kamiya girl smiled mischievously and turned around to see Sukamon and Chuumon. But her smile soon faded when her eyes saw what had emerged from the bushes.
There were two Digimon. But they weren't Sukamon and Chuumon. One was a small yellow dog like creature with a blue D on his chest and blue floppy ears and a long blue tail. The other was slightly bigger. It was a slug which resembled a Numemon and it had a large silver crown resting on its back. These two were Dogmon and Black KingNumemon.
Dawn's two brown eyes widened with horror. This wasn't her plan. Where were Sukamon and Chuumon? And where did these two come from?
Dogmon chuckled darkly and jumped up onto the top of the goalposts. All the children below were screaming and running for safety. Dogmon formed a black ball of energy in his hand and slammed it into the side of the school building, smashing three windows in the process.
Dan, Margaret and MJ gasped as they raced outside. "Where did they come from!" MJ shrieked as her blue eyes spotted the two creatures.
Dawn gulped as she watched Black KingNumemon destroy a large tree. "I have no idea." She whispered truthfully.
Dogmon jumped down from the goalpost and darted across the grass before leaping into one of the broken windows and landed in the middle of a group of children in the hallway.
They all screamed and ran in different directions. He laughed crazily and began running down the long corridor, terrorizing the children and teachers as he formed balls of energy in his hands. He was bouncing off the walls as he destroyed them, lockers and anything else that got in his way.
"What is that thing!" A teacher wailed as the dog like creature dashed past him.
The small yellow Digimon then destroyed another window and jumped back out, soaring over screaming young children below before landed on the top of the bleachers.
Dogmon was howling away with laughter as he sent continuous attacks from the palms of his hands as the children dodged falling debris. But something small head butted him from behind and he fell face first into a puddle of mud.
"Patamon!" MJ smiled as she become aware of her Digimon partner's presence. The little rookie flew into his human friend's arms.
Margaret gulped. This was her time to begin her life as a DigiDestined. She hesitated a little before she took her backpack off her back and opened it up. "Gatomon." She spoke, a little uncertainty in her voice. Deep down she was very nervous about this. "We need you."
Gatomon's head popped out of the bag. Looking from her human partner she spotted Dogmon and Black KingNumemon. "Where did they come from?" she gawped as she leaped out of the bag.
"Dan!" Veemon had come out from his hiding place in the trees and was running to his human partner. "What's going on here?"
Dan got out his blue D-Power. "We've got trouble. Ready Veemon?" he asked, holding his digivice up. "Digital Ring, Release!"
"VEEMON DIGIVOLVE TO... STRIKEDRAMON!"
More screams were heard as the students noticed the presence of the other monsters. Teachers were now out and frantically trying to usher them back into the building where it would be safer.
Strikedramon stood firm beside his partner. Black KingNumemon and Dogmon just laughed. Dogmon climbed up to the top of the main school building whilst his partner in crime slithered up the side of the sports hut.
Strikedramon snarled at their mockery. "You take the slug; I'll take care of the mutt." He said to Gatomon before leaping up into the air. "Strike Claw!" bringing his arm back and with one swift move he slashed his claws against Dogmon.
Dogmon staggered back a few steps before making his move. "Ultra Bite!" springing forward he dug his sharp white teeth into Strikedramon skin.
The dragon like Digimon grunted in pain but his luck turned even worse when Dogmon formed a black ball of energy and slammed it into his chest. Strikedramon yelped as he fell down and hit the hard concrete surface below.
Dogmon sniggered. "You'll never stop us. Total destruction!" he laughed. The dog like creature was like a mad mon.
Windows were smashed, the grass was burnt, fences were destroyed and much more damage was created as the two continued on their destructive rampage.
Strikedramon got to his feet "Strike Claw!" In a split second his claw attack was unleashed as Dogmon came his way.
But Dogmon was too fast and simply dodged it as if it wasn't a problem for him. Landing on the hard concrete path, he lunged forward and sunk his sharp teeth into Strikedramon's right leg. Strikedramon's scream echoed across the school ground.
Gatomon sprinted across the soccer field on all fours and leaped into the air, her claws simmering in the light. "Lightning Paw!" she curled her right paw into a fist and slammed it into the side of Black KingNumemon's face. She then swished her tail and struck it hard against his body sending him crashing into the bleachers, breaking the middle section.
As the dust from the impact settled, Black KingNumemon formed a black blob of Digi Sludge in his small hand. "Dark Pupil!" he flung the sludge at Gatomon and it struck her square in the face.
She remained still before a disgusted look appeared on her face. "Ewww!" she squealed before squatting it to the ground. She narrowed her eyes. "You're gonna get it now. I draw the line at Digi Sludge... Cats Eye Hypnotism!" narrowing her eyes even more into small slits, she released two blue beams of energy.
It struck Black KingNumemon and the beams engulfed his body. His expression turned into confusing and he began staggering around, flinging his Digi Sludge in the process.
Margaret cringed as one landed next to her feet. "Gatomon! That just made him worse!"
Dawn gulped. Now she wished she had brought Agumon along. She didn't think she would need him today so she left him at home.
There was a loud snigger from above and the four children tilted their heads upwards to see Dogmon high above them with a slab of concrete from the roof being held above his head. "Say goodbye." He sneered devilishly before throwing the slab to the ground below.
The young DigiDestined screamed and darted out of the way. Strikedramon jumped in the way and pumped his fist up in the air, smashing the slab of concrete into tiny pieces.
Dawn stood there, staring at where she was stood moments ago. Her eyes passed across the damage the two Digimon had caused. "This wasn't supposed to happen." She muttered.
Above the noise of the battle that was starting to take full force, police sirens could be heard in the distance and gradually growing louder. Four or five cars pulled up in front of the main gate and police officers piled out from them and entered the school grounds.
"Okay men let's get these children out of here, let's move, move, move!" the chief policeman commanded.
Some policemen started to gather the children that were still outside trembling with fear or who were intrigued by what was happening whilst the other officers disappeared into the school to retrieve the rest of the students.
Dawn remained still in disbelief. "This can't get any worse!" she exclaimed to no one in particular.
Black KingNumemon noticed the policemen. "Oh goody more play mates." He mocked before throwing more Digi Sludge at the cops.
The policemen dodged the sludge. "These creatures are disgusting!" the chief inspector exclaimed.
Dan gulped as the police were edging closer to them. "We've gotta hide! Otherwise we'll be taken away from here!" he exclaimed before he took off to where a small group of trees were stood. Dawn and Margaret soon followed.
MJ who had her attention on the police, glanced to her left to see the others darting for the trees. "Hey wait for me!" she exclaimed.
She began to run but a policeman suddenly appeared from nowhere and grabbed her arm. "It's okay little girl, let's get you to safety." He began to drag her away from her friends and Patamon.
"No...I... wait-" she stuttered helplessly. She looked on to see the others had safely climbed up the trees where they couldn't be seen.
"MJ..." Margaret murmured from up in the tree. "What are we gonna do? Patamon can't digivolve without her."
.:Tokyo Star Bank, Minato, Tokyo:.
Tai was sat slouched in his chair at his desk in his large office. He was chewing the end of his pen as he worked through some files on his computer.
"Boring, boring, boring." He muttered to himself as he flicked through them.
There was a knock on the door before it opened and his secretary Chika walked in with a folder in her right hand. She paused by his desk. "Here are those account details you asked for Mr Kamiya." She spoke holding them out.
"Thanks." Tai replied, not taking his eyes off the computer screen as he took the folder from her and placed it on the edge of his desk.
Chika remained stood there as she glanced at a photo of him and his daughter that was on the desk. She then said; "I thought you would be down at the school."
Tai looked up from his computer. "Huh?" he asked, confused.
Chika motioned outside of the office where the small waiting room was situated down the very short hallway. "Haven't you heard? It's on the local news. Two monsters are attacking the school."
"What!" Tai yelped springing to his feet. He darted around his desk and raced out of his office and down the short hallway before coming to the waiting room, where a small plasma television was attached to the wall.
A group of about five colleagues were gathered around it. "Man that's one scary looking dog." One commented as an image of Dogmon appeared on the screen. "And that slug is just plain creepy."
Tai pushed to the front and watched the news report that was being broadcasted from the end of the street the school was situated on.
"Parents are being advised to collect their children who attend Odaiba Elementary. They are being safely evacuated to the Convention Centre two blocks away. No casualties have been reported yet." The news reporter announced.
Tai bolted back into his office and grabbed his jacket before hurrying down the main corridor towards the elevator. "Please be safe, Dawn."
.:Odaiba Elementary, Odaiba, Tokyo:.
Police had set up barricades around each end of the streets that were accessible to the school grounds. Police vans and cars were blocking the roads and every street corner was manned with a police officer.
Quite a crowd of people were watching as close as they could get to try and catch a glimpse of the so called monsters. The only people beyond the barriers were the police officers who were escorting the children and teachers away from the school.
"Okay, can you stand back please." One police officer yelled over the crowd of people forming. "We advise you to go back to your homes where it's safe." No one seemed to be listening though. They remained there trying to peek over the barricades.
The last group of children and one teacher was being escorted through the barrier. MJ was stuck in the middle with no way to get out and go back to help her friends. As she was safely on the other side of the make-shift barricade she heard one policeman say;
"That's the last group of students and teachers. We just have to do a quick scan of the area to see if anyone else is there before we move in."
MJ's face turned into an uneasy look. Margaret, Dawn and Dan were still in there, not to mention Patamon and the other Digimon. If the police caught them and came to the conclusion they were involved, they'd be in serious trouble.
"MJ!"
The blonde haired girl spun around at the sound of her name. She saw Tai pushing through the crowd of people. "Mr Kamiya?"
Tai reached the young girl. "Where's Dawn? Is she alright?" he asked, panting slightly as he had to run from where he had parked his car two blocks away.
MJ pointed behind her and said in a low voice; "She's still in the school with the others. They hid from the police so they weren't taken away. The Digimon are almost destroying the whole school!" she exclaimed a little loudly, growing panicky.
"Hey!" Jonathon's voice was heard from the distance and he soon arrived beside the two DigiDestined, accompanied by Tricia. "What is going on here?" he demanded. "Has a Digimon appeared? I was in Computer class when all of a sudden we got rushed out of the back entrance and to the Convention Centre."
MJ nodded solemnly. "And Dawn, Dan and Margaret are still in there."
Tai looked up from the Takaishi girl and towards where he could see the top of the school building peeking out from behind some trees. Smoke was lingering in the air, surrounding it. "I've got to get in there somehow..."
Back in the school grounds the fight was still carrying on with no sign of letting go. The school looked a very different place. Most of the downstairs windows were smashed in, parts of the walls were damaged and the plants and trees were almost completely destroyed.
The police had now retreated with all the children and teachers and were now concentrating on keeping the public away before moving back in to take care of the monsters.
Strikedramon and Dogmon were still giving each other as good as they got. Each move they made seemed predictable to the other as with every punch that was thrown, it was blocked by its opponent.
The dragon like Digimon snarled. "It's no... use." He paused as he continued to throw punches and kicks at the small mutt in front of him. "He's... too quick for... me!"
Patamon, who was hovering above Margaret's head, drooped his ears. "If MJ was here then maybe I could digivolve."
The children were hiding underneath the fire escape at the end of the school building.
Gatomon jumped up and clutched onto the metal fence that surrounded one side of the soccer field. She then waited for Black KingNumemon to be close enough before she swung her tail around and squatted him in the eyes.
The slug like Digimon cringed in pain. "I've had enough of you, kitty!" He lunged forward and with his small arms he grasped Gatomon's tail and swung her over his head like a rag doll.
Gatomon wailed as she soared high in the air and came crashing down, limp on the ground in front of a horrified Margaret.
Dawn clenched her fists in anger. "If Agumon were here he'd kick their butts!"
"Dawn! Margaret!" a voice echoed in the distance.
The two cousins turned their heads to see Tai running towards them. He barely missed a flying Digi Sludge before reaching the children.
"Huh? Dad?" Dawn wondered before she was hugged tightly by her father.
"I'm so glad you two are alright." He said, looking at his daughter, then to his niece. "What the hell is going on here?" he questioned them both.
Dawn laughed nervously as she looked up at her father. "Well you see... It's a funny story." She began.
Dan walked up to them, interrupting the brown haired girl. "Mr Kamiya didn't you bring Agumon with you?" he asked.
Tai sighed and shook his head. "No. I just came straight here from work. It's all over the local news. Where did these two creeps come from?" he asked.
Margaret shrugged. "We have no idea. They just leaped out of nowhere and started to attack."
"Look, we've got to get away from here. The police are involved now and they're about to move in." Tai said, grabbing Dawn's hand.
Dawn pulled her hand out of her father's grasp. "We can't leave the Digimon to fight alone, Dad!" she exclaimed.
Gatomon shakily got to her feet. "If I could digivolve I could probably destroy that slimly slob. But that dog's too quick on his paws."
Tai looked from Strikedramon and then to Gatomon and Patamon who were stood next to each other. "Is this all we have? There's no way you're gonna take out a champion and an ultimate with just two champions and a rookie!" he exclaimed.
Margaret looked up at her uncle. "We don't know where Jonathon is. MJ got separated from us by the police."
Tai sighed. "Yeah I know. She's with safe with Jonathon." He then looked up at Black KingNumemon and Dogmon. "Let's just concentrate on getting these away from here. If the police come back and find us here we'll be in more trouble."
Dogmon punched Strikedramon in the jaw before sprinting across the grass and with one fine leap he landed on the top of the goal post. But with the sudden weight enforced on it, the entire goalpost slowly toppled over...
Margaret looked up only to see the goalpost heading straight for her. She screamed as the netting fell over her and the metal posts crashed onto the grass trapping her underneath.
Dogmon sniggered under his breath. "Let's have a little fun with her shall we?"
Black KingNumemon nodded whilst chuckling as they both jumped onto the net, blocking Margaret's only way of getting out. The two devilish Digimon began taunting her with the Digi Sludge.
Margaret screamed and backed up as far as she could underneath the net, but the Digimon only edged forward. "Uncle Tai! Help" she shrieked, almost on the verge of tears.
"Hey you little creeps, leave her alone!" Tai demanded as he sprinted towards his niece.
Dogmon turned his head and spat out a ball of energy directly at the bearer of Courage. It struck the ground inches away from Tai and the force from the blast sent him falling down, landing on his back.
"Dad!" Dawn rushed to her father's aid. But her eyes were alerted to a soccer ball that had escaped from the partly destroyed sports equipment hut. She grinned as an idea popped into her head and
she ran over to it. "Hey you mangy mutt, take this!" she exclaimed. Bringing her leg back and with all her force she slammed her foot against the ball.
It flew through the air at almost lightning speed and struck Dogmon sending him skidding across the grass before coming to a sudden halt.
Dan grinned. "Brilliant shot, high five!" he exclaimed as he shared a 'high five' with his best friend.
Dawn just flashed the Kamiya grin. "That's why I'm the number one striker." She pointed to the '1' on her red t-shirt.
Strikedramon sprinted over and with one almighty kung-fu kick; he booted the last remaining Digimon off the net using his right leg.
Margaret took no hesitation in scrambling out from underneath and straight to her uncle, hugging him tightly. Still clutching him, she turned her head to see Gatomon take her position next to the taller dragon Digimon and both prepared to attack...
"Alright, finish them off!" Dan commanded his fists clenched with fighting passion.
The two crazy Digimon lay there moaning in distress, unable to move let alone continue fighting. But something happened as the time struck 8:30am. Dogmon and Black KingNumemon were engulfed with a dull grey light. It absorbed their bodies and the DigiDestined shielded their eyes from the rays of light...
After approximately half a minute, the light began to dim and fade away...
Tai opened his eyes once the dark light had disappeared. He looked on to where the two Digimon once lay only to gawp in astonishment. "You two!" he exclaimed almost angrily as his gaze fell upon two familiar monsters...
Laying where Dogmon and Black KingNumemon were, were now Chuumon and Sukamon. They remained motionless with a dazed and confused look on their faces.
Tai narrowed his eyes at them and stormed over. "You two did this!" he demanded startling the two dim-witted monsters. "What made you attack the school? And more importantly, how did you get here! Answer me!" His anger was rising. He knew these two were stupid but he never thought in a million years they'd be stupid enough to attack a school full of young innocent children.
"And where did you get the ability to digivolve?" Gatomon asked, narrowing her eyes in suspicion.
Chuumon quivered before hiding behind Sukamon. "We're sorry, we didn't mean to." He apologised looking meekly up at the DigiDestined.
Sukamon nodded in agreement. "Yeah but she told us to do it." He let slip, pointing behind the bearer of Courage.
Tai instantly knew where the yellow Digimon was pointing. He clenched his fists and turned around slowly to face his daughter who was stood by the destroyed goalpost.
Dawn froze when Sukamon's hand pointed straight at her. And when she saw the look in her father's eyes she knew straight off she was in BIG trouble. "Uh oh..." she murmured.
Tai's angry gaze remained on his daughter as he stormed over and grabbed her arm tightly. "We're going home, now." he muttered quietly and crossly before dragging the young girl away, not even giving her chance to explain.
Dan looked on as his best friend was dragged away by her fuming father. His blue eyes fell back upon Sukamon and Chuumon. Something wasn't right here. He'd heard about those two and if what they said was true, Dawn would never plan something this dangerous and life threatening. "Something happened to those two and it wasn't good... how were they able to digivolve?"
