The digi-destined and Talpidmon were trying to find the annoying Toucanmon that had stolen their D-tectors, except for Zoe's. They had thought the bird brains might have returned to beach hut, so they started looking there.
Unfortunately, not much progress had made, though JP did get pinched by a crab.
Talpidmon then popped out of the ground.
"Toucanmon no there either," he said.
"Why would they be underground?" Koji asked, sounding a bit annoyed,
"Like you do any better!" Talpidmon argued.
"Let's just take a break for a while," Takuya moaned from the bench he was on.
"No, me want spirit back now!" Talpidmon shouted.
"Come on, we need a break Talpidmon," Tommy said, feeling tired
"Wait, who said you were getting spirits back?" Koji asked, sounding suspicious.
"JP promise Talpidmon," he explained, which made the chubby kid flinch.
"JP, what's he talking about?" Takuya asked feeling suspicious.
"Well, he was really upset over what happened with Ranamon," JP explained, "So I kind of told him he could have his spirits back if he helped us get the D-tectors back, hehe,".
This made the others glare at him, much to his dismay.
"Hey, don't be mad at JP," Talpidmon said, "Me learn lesson this time, me won't turn on new friends,".
"See, we don't have to worry about a thing," JP said, trying to be convincing.
The others were still a bit annoyed, much to the dismay of other two. Though they figured they'd let go for now, and got back to searching. Though Talpidmon didn't really get this and thought the kids still disliked him.
"Fine, you no have to believe Talpidmon, but me keep looking good!" the Digimon replied sounding mad, before running off.
"Well at least he's determined," Koji said, still a bit wary of the earth warrior.
JP just sighed, before Zoe walked up to him.
Hey, don't worry about it," she said kindly, "I bet you'll find your D-Tector real soon, and were not mad at you about Talpidmon,".
"Huh?" JP then noticed the girl "What were you saying, Z?".
"JP, weren't you thinking about your D-Tector or Talpidmon?" Zoe asked.
"Oh. Uh, well, I was wondering if you'd be like that," JP said.
"Huh, be like what?" Zoe asked.
"Like Calmaramon,".
"Huh, Calmaramon where!?" Takuya said with alertness.
"I was just wondering if you'd be scary like that?" JP explained, "You know like when you got your beast spirit, and all that,"
The others then thought of the idea of a scary Kazemon, which made Zoe very mad.
"Stop that!" she yelled, "I can't believe you guys would think something like that, I'm nothing like her!".
"Of course," Neemon said.
"Hey, say that like you mean it!" she shouted before snapping Neemon's waistband.
"He's not saying you're evil or anything, just that beast spirits are hard to control," Takuya said, trying to calm down the girl.
"Yes, remember what happened with Takuya?" Bokomon pointed out, referring to how when the fire warrior got his beast spirit, Burningreymon, he almost destroyed an entire forest and his friends.
"I'll always be a cool and beautiful girl Digimon," Zoe bragged "That I know,".
"But how?" Tommy asked.
"Hmph, cause I'm a girl!" Zoe bragged, "And girls know when to handle power when they need to!".
Oddly enough, Talpidmon had heard this from where he was.
"She really like Ranamon," he groaned, before walking off.
"Geez, you sure?" Takuya said,
"Ranamon's a girl, and she couldn't control her beast spirit?" Tommy pointed out.
"Um, well that's just," Zoe stuttered, trying to think of.
"He's got a point you know," Takuya said as he leaned back, which made Zoe more nervous, before he something in the sky, "Huh?
He soon realized that he had just saw the Toucanmon flying away
"Hey, it's the Toucanmon!" he shouted.
"Where are they going?" Tommy asked.
"Nowhere!" Zoe than pulled out her D-tector, "Spirit evol-".
"Wait!" Koji shouted, which stopped Zoe's transformation, "If you fly that high, Ranamon might find us,".
"Oh that's a good point," Zoe said, sounding downed.
"Quick, don't let them get away!" Takuya said, before they started running after the birds.
Plot hole, averted.
After a good bit of chasing, there heroes saw that the bird Digimon had landed on an island not to far away.
"Look, they're landing over there!" Tommy pointed out.
"Right, don't let them get away!" Takuya said, "We can swim there!
"I'll race you there!" Zoe said, before she and the boy started running to the water.
"Tommy, you guys wait here!" Takuya said as he got into the water, but then something grabbed his leg "Ah!"
Takuya fall then fell into the water.
"Takuya?" Zoe asked.
He then came up sputtering from the water. Takuya then looked down and saw a Digimon that looked like a white furry sea lion with purple stripes and an orange mohawk was holding his foot. The Digimon then poked his head out the water and then giggled.
"What the heck is that?" Takuya asked, feeling startled.
"That Gomamon!" the Digimon said.
"Well, whoever you are, let go of my foot, okay?" Takuya asked, to which the Digimon did.
"Sorry, but we had to stop you guys," he explained, before more Digimon that looked like him poked their heads out of the water.
"Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!" they all said, one at a time.
"Yeah, hi," Takuya said feeling weird, "What are these things anyway?".
"Gomamon are cute and curious, but if you get them mad they won't hesitate to attack," Bokomon explained "Then again what does around here?".
"How cute!" Zoe beamed.
"Yeah, girls are tough," JP groaned.
Meanwhile at the lair of the evil legendary warriors,
Calmaramon was standing in the center room, so to speak.
"Well, well, look at me, I'm the belle of the beast spirit ball!" The squid laughed, "There's nothing that can stand in my beautiful way now, wait 'till Mercurymon gets a load of- huh, Aaah?" she tried to say before losing control of her spirit and spinning around before crashing into the ground, "Oh, my, all this beauty sure is painful,".
Mercurymon then entered the chamber.
"Thou art a full power-house, Calmaramon?" he asked, "Tis awe inspiring how thou can knock thyself to the ground?".
"Can it!" Calmaramon shouted in frustration as she got up.
"Yes, thou beast spirit shall simply go to waste if thou cannot control it," Mercurymon taunted, before the squid tried to swipe at him, "Ah, tread carefully!"
"Sorry, sugar, I guess my beast spirit has a mind of its own," She said sarcastically with her arms behind her head, annoying the metal warrior, "Look, don't get your drawers all in a bunch, I'm practicing with it, soon I'll be unbeatable," she laughed with confidence, before losing control again and spinning around, "Whao aaaahhh!"
"Thou hath better master it, before thou destroys us all!" Mercurymon said with concern, while trying to not get clobbered by the spinning squid, "Perhaps thou should practice someone that complements thy element more and not in arth's home!?".
Back with the others,
The Toucanmon had flown to another island. Takuya and Zoe had tried to swim towards it, without swimsuits unfortunately, but was stopped a bunch of Digimon known as Gomamon.
"We wouldn't be good friends if we let you go out there," one of the Gomamon explained.
"The water looks so cuddly and inviting, but really it's very dangerous" another continued.
"Um, what do you mean by dangerous exactly?" Takuya asked.
"Just look, all that foam by the island is caused by a whole bunch of whirlpools," A Gomamon explained.
"Whirlpools?" Takuya asked seeming worried.
"Don't worry, we're safe here," Gomamon explained, "But if you get too close they'll suck you in and never spit you out and even if you could get past them, you'd be slammed up against the cliffs that surround the only beach you can land on," he described, not liking the grim picture, "We know all about it because we used to live there,".
"So, is there some kind of secret way yo get there or something?" Takuya asked.
"No, I wish there were," A Gomamon moaned.
"You can't get home?" Zoe asked with concern.
"That's right, everything used to be so wonderful there, then one day, when we went out to play and get some food there was a big earthquake," Gomamon explained, "That's when the whirlpools started, we were cut off from our island and we haven't been able to get home since,".
"I'd be willing to guess that the earthquake's happened when the destruction of the Digital World began," Bokomon stated, "Oh, it seems there's no one Cherubimon's evil touch hasn't hurt.
So, you're saying there's no way to get across huh?" Koji asked.
"Yeah, but it's okay, we're fine," the Gomamon just sighed.
"Come on!" Zoe shouted, tired of the Gomamon's fake positivity.
"Huh?" The Gomamon clan said.
"Are you trying to tell me you're not even a little sad, watching all your friends from afar, not even being able to talk to them?" Zoe asked, "Well, I don't buy it! Everyone gets sad without their friends!"
"Yeah, we just try to ignore that, 'cause otherwise we get all depressed," a Gomamon explained.
"Listen, guys. I think I have a quick and simple solution to your problem," Zoe explained You're all going to come with us to get to the island,".
"Although I appreciate the sentiment, don't you think it might be a tad dangerous?" Bokomon pointed out.
"Come on, guys," Zoe pleaded, "We have to try,".
"We can't even help ourselves, I mean, we don't even have our D-Tector's anymore," Koji said, "What good are we?".
"Oh that's a great excuse if you want to give up, but I'm not going to!" Zoe shouted with confidence, "Sure it's tough, but I believe we can do whatever we put our minds to!" she then looked at the Gomamon, "Come on guys, let's get you back to your friends, okay?".
"After that speech, I don't think we could say no even if we wanted to," Gomamon cheered, with newfound confidence.
"I hope it works, If it doesn't we'll make it work," Zoe said, before Takuya and Koji walked up next to her, "Huh?".
"Zoe's right, we can help each other our," Takuya said confidently, "We'll make it together,".
"Even without our D-Tector's, there's plenty we can do as a team!" Koji added.
"You mean it, really?" Zoe asked.
"I can't swim too well and I'm afraid of water, but count me in," Tommy said.
"Hey, you can't go wrong with one of Zoe's ideas," JP praised.
"It's decided then, finally," Bokomon said.
"Guys," Zoe said, feeling emotional from all the support.
"Don't start crying, 'cause you know Tommy will just start crying," Takuya joked.
"Yeah, and I will if he doesn't," JP added, which made the girl laugh.
"Awesome, let's get to work everybody!" Zoe cheered.
"Yay!" all the Gomamon cheered.
Meanwhile with Talpidmon.
The earth Digimon was walking through the tropical forest.
"Where bird brains fly to?" he said while looking through bushes. Just then he heard something that sounded like smashing, "Huh, what that be?".
The mole then looked past some bushes and saw a giant squid lady on beach that looked like a pond that drained into the ocean with some clefts and destroying the land.
"Listen to me already sugar, ahh!" She shouted before being flung backwards, "Oh my, why must this be so hard!?"
Talpidmon then recognized that voice, "Huh, that sound like Ranamon, then must be Ranamon beast spirit?" he said in shock, "It almost freaky as Mercurymon beast spirit, but smell way worse,".
"Hey, who said that!?" the squid yelled, "I smell wonderfully, just look at my beautiful nose!".
"Gah!" Talpidmon quickly dug into the ground to hide, just dodging a slam from a tentacle.
Calmaramon then looked around, thankfully not seeing the earth Digimon. "Ah whatever, I need to get back to training!" she said before moving away.
Talpidmon then poked out from the ground near the beach and looked at the squid's frustration.
"Come on Calmaramon, you can do this!" she tried to say with confidence, before trying her attack, "Titanic Tempest!". She then began to spin around rapidly, "Yes, I'm doing it, I'm doing, huh wha, whaaaa!?".
The squid girl was then propelled into the air and soon crashed into a bunch of trees on the island.
"Oh come on?!" she yelled, "I'm the most fairest Digimon in the digital world!?" she shouted while flailing about with her tentacles and arms.
This made Talpidmon chuckle a bit, but then he felt a bit sad, "Heh, temper still same Ranamon, just like when me prank you,".
He then thought back to his days with the other evil legendary warriors.
Flashback
Inside the mushroom shaped lair of the evil warriors, Ranamon was doing her makeup.
"Now let's see, a little bit of this and I'll be the bell of the ball," she said with joy, as before she put some pink lipstick on and making a smooching gesture, "Oh yeah, ain't no one finer than me darling,".
However, while the water warrior was admiring herself. Ranamon didn't see a certain goblin switch her face cream with a tube of mud.
"Now a little moisturizer and I'll be perfectly wonderful," she then rubbed the substance on her face, not realizing what it was, until she opened her eyes, "Huh?" Ranamon then realized she had just put mud all over her beautiful face, and heard some chuckling, "AAAAAAAAAAAahhhhh, Grumblemon!".
"Hahahaha, me got you good!" the earth warrior laughed.
"Your going to get it now sugar!" Ranamon shouted while chasing Grumblemon.
Later,
Grumblemon was taking a nap after a hard day work of gathering data, snoring like a bear on a ball.
Ranamon then snuck in, holding her lipstick tube and eyeliner.
"This is going to be fabulous sugar," she said sinisterly, before working her magic on the Earth warrior.
A few moments later,
Grumblemon had just woken up from his nap and was about to met up with the other warriors in the main room, "Hey what me miss,". However, the others seemed to be chuckling about something.
"Huh, what so funny?" he asked, seeming confused.
"Urm, you trying a new look Grumblemon?" Arbormon said, trying to contain his laughter.
"What you talking about?"
"Perhaps thou hath take'th a look at thy face?" Mercurymon said, before showing the earth warrior's face in his mirror.
Grumblemon than gasped in shock, his face was covered in eyeliner and lipstick, "GAH, what happen to Grumblemon!?".
"Hhahahaaahaa," Ranamon laughed.
"Ranamon!" he growled with rage.
"Oh come on, you look so much prettier now sugar," She teased while looking cute, "Well it's a slight improvement at least,".
However, it wasn't long until Grumblemon was chasing Ranamon with his hammer.
"Me smash you big time for this Ranamon!" the earth warrior yelled.
Ranamon just laughed with mischief at her prank as she ran.
The other two just watched.
"Hey you want me to stop them, right?" Arbormon asked.
"Nay, tis best to let them burn off thyself's energy," the metal warrior explained, "Not to mention tis be most amusing to watch,".
"Well if you say so," the wood warrior replied.
End of Flashback,
Talpidmon missed those times. But now they were his enemies, and they didn't want him.
"Me wonder if things every be like before?" he sighed.
The squid swatted away at trees on an island as she got up, alerting the mole to hide underground and soon popping back out.
"Come on, I will do this and show those puny pest who's the real beauty!" she clenched her fist, "Acid ink!".
Calmaramon then puffed up her cheeks and spat out ink on some rocks. The ink dissolved on the rocks like acid, leaving a huge chunk missing.
"Y-yes I did it, I did an attack that worked!" she said before turning back to Ranamon, "I did something with my beast spirit, yay!"
"Good job Ranamon!" Talpidmon blurted out, feeling oddly happy for the water warrior. Thought he quickly hid himself before Ranamon noticed.
"Huh, who said that?" she asked. Ranamon looked around but didn't see anyone, "Oh well, probably just one of my fans," she then clinched her fist with confidence, "Now to show that ugly brat Kazemon that I'm the only beauty around here!".
Ranamon then dived into the water and swam away.
Talpidmon then poked his head up from the ground, "heh, if me had spirits me show her real beast power," he said, though he was secretly feeling remorseful, "Me best find human warriors before Ranamon,".
He then hopped out of his hole and ran back to where the kids were.
However, he soon bumped into something he couldn't see.
"Huh, what?" he asked.
"Oops sorry, I guess you didn't see me," the invisible Digimon said, before revealing himself to be Scutlemon, who's usually red parts were white.
"Scutlemon, how you do that?" Talpidmon asked.
"Oh, it's one of my abilities," he said as his white parts shifted to red, "How'd things go with the Digi-destined?".
"Okay me guess," Talpidmon said as he got up, "JP trust Talpidmon, but others not so much,".
"Well that's a start?" Scutlemon replied, trying to sound positive "So how are you all going to beat the squid?".
"Huh, oh, me not think about that?" Talpidmon said, before feeling down, "Ugh, me wish still Grumblemon so be able to attack,".
"But, shouldn't you already be able to attack," Scutlemon asked, "All Digimon have their own attacks, right?".
"Really, so me can fight Ranamon?" Talpidmon then clenched his fist confidently, "But me don't know Talpidmon attacks?".
"Maybe that guy with the egg knows," Scutlemon suggested, "Bokomon was his name, right?".
"Hey not bad idea," Talpidmon said, before running off, "Later kid,".
"Okay, good luck," Scutlemon waved, "I hope I did enough?".
A few moments later,
Talpidmon had just found the Digi-destined, and they seemed to be working on making something.
"Hey, what you kids doing?" he asked.
"Where building a raft so we can get to the Gomamon island and find the Toucanmon," Tommy explained, while he and JP were carrying a log.
"Why don't you help Talpidmon," Takuya suggested.
"We can get your spirits back sooner," JP pointed out, which caught the attention of the earth Digimon.
"Oh yeah, me get right to work!" he answered with enthusiasm. He was so excited at the thought of his spirits that he forgot about encountering Ranamon earlier.
The heroes worked hard on the raft, cutting down trees and tying then together. Zoe had found a large thick canvas curtain from the beach stand to use as a sail. JP had tried to draw up plans for the ship, but they went ignored due to the over complicated nature of the design.
While they were working, Talpidmon remembered something and ran up to Bokomon.
"Oh, what do you want," Bokomon said, still not to fond of the mole.
"Bokomon smart right?" he asked.
"Well, I don't want to brag, but," Bokomon said before he was interrupted.
"You know what Talpidmon's attacks are?" he asked bluntly.
"Oh, well, let me see," Bokomon then pulled out his green book and looked through, "It looks like your attacks are Stala-Smite and Boulder Ball,"
"Cool, um, how me do them?" he asked.
"Oh, just look here," Bokomon then showed him the book, which Talpidmon studied quickly, "Do you understand now?".
"Okay, Talpidmon got it," Talpidmon said feeling grateful, "Thanks Bokomon,".
He then slapped Bokomon on the back with gratitude.
"Hey watch it, I need to protect the egg!" Bokomon said, feeling annoyed.
"Hehe, sorry," Talpidmon said, before getting back to work with the others.
It wasn't long until they had a completed raft. It looked like a the usually type of raft, main thing that stand out was the palm tree sticking out of barrel that acted as the mast that held the sail.
"That was hard," Neemon moaned.
"You didn't do anything," JP pointed out, "Even Talpidmon helped,".
"Oh yeah," Neemon said, though Talpidmon felt proud.
The heroes than got on the raft and prepared to set sail.
"Here we go!" Takuya said.
The wind soon caught the sail and the sent the raft on course to the Gomamon island, with said Digimon swimming next to the raft.
"Uh, can we not rock the boat the boat so much?" Tommy said from in the barrel that held the palm tree mast.
"Me would like that," Talpidmon said, looking anxious.
"What, you scared of water?" Koji asked.
"No, me just prefer be on earth," he replied, trying to hide his discomfort, before getting startled by more of the rocking of the bout, "Naaaag,ergm,".
"You should try being in this barrel, it's a bit sturdier," Tommy suggested.
"Okay, if Tommy say so," Talpidmon said, before jumping in, feeling relieved with less rocking "Ah,".
"I can't believe you built this without even looking at my plans," JP moaned, which was ignored.
"This is great," Zoe said with joy.
"Yeah, I'll say," Takuya added.
"But what about my plan?" JP whined.
"JP!" the others shouted in annoyance.
"What?".
After a bit more sailing, the boat was about to reach the Gomamon island and the whirlpool that blocked the entrance,
"Oh," Tommy said with concern.
"So much for fun," Zoe said with worry.
"The Gomamon sure weren't kidding, huh," Koji said.
"Yeah," Takuya added, sounding just as worried.
"They said it was bad, not horrible," JP said.
"Me think going be sick," Talpidmon added.
"There must be something at the bottom of the sea that's causing all this," Bokomon proclaimed.
"Well, maybe we can it and fix it," Takuya suggested.
"Need send someone down to find out," Talpidmon pointed, which made others look at him, which freaked him out "Huh, no not mean Talpidmon!".
Talpidmon then shook with fear, he figured the humans still didn't like him, so it would be no problem for them to toss him in as a sacrifice.
"Come on guys, he's already scarred enough," Tommy pointed out.
"Yeah you're right, sorry Tapidmon" Takuya said.
"We didn't mean to scare you," Zoe apologized.
"Huh, why be so nice?" Talpidmon asked, confused by the human's kindness, "Me thought you no like Talpidmon?".
"That's back when you were our enemy and always messing with us," JP explained, "You're not like that anymore,".
"Even you?" the Digimon said to Koji.
"I may not completely trust you yet, but I guess you're okay now," he replied, still sounding a bit pessimistic.
"M-me not know how feel," Talpidmon said
But then a giant wave appeared.
"Huh, aah, tidal wave!" everyone screamed.
The wave then crashed onto the raft, nearly sinking it. But thankfully, it was still a flout.
Then two water geysers shot out of the ocean like tornadoes, before a third appeared with Ranamon standing atop it.
"Hi their kidding pies," Ranamon said cutely, seeming not to notice Talpidmon, which made him growl.
"Oh, man!" JP shouted.
"Great, now what do we do?" Takuya said.
"Well, if y'all have any last wishes, now would be the perfect time to make them, don't you think?" she asked.
While the others were anxious at the water warrior, Talpidmon looked sternly at Ranamon. He was tired of how she was treating the others, so much to point that he didn't even feel odd for caring about the humans or about what happened early. Even if he did still care about the water warrior, he couldn't let her hurt his new friends.
Talpidmon then did something that surprised everyone, he jumped at the water warrior and tried to attack her.
"Leave Talpidmon friends alone!" he shouted before landing on the girl Digimon's head and started gnawing.
"Yow, get off, you filthy rat!" Ranamon yelled while trying to get the mole off. She eventually knocked him onto the wall of the island with one of her geysers, "I thought I sent you away?".
"Talpidmon!" The others cried.
"Me not done yet!" he groaned as he hung onto the earth wall, "Stala-Smite!".
He then drilled into the wall and caused Stalagmites to shoot out at the water warrior.
"Ow, hey, quit it, yow!" she shouted as the rocks hit her, making it look like she was dancing.
"Boulder Ball!" Talpidmon then came rolling out of the hole covered in earthly power and flew full force, smacking Ranamon off her geyser and it the ocean.
"What is with you honey!?" Ranamon shouted after poking her head put off the water, "Why you trying to protect those brats?!".
Talpidmon then broke out of the boulder and landed on the cleft, "Me no evil anymore, me fight for good now!" he explained, "Good warriors no like Talpidmon first, but give another chance, so me use it to be better Digimon!".
"Fine, be that way," Ranamon said as she rose up on another geyser, "In fact, I'm glad were enemies now, since I don't have to hold back when you annoy me anymore!".
"Wow, I didn't think he cared so much," Takuya said with astonishment.
"I guess he really is good," Koji said, feeling bad for giving him a hard time.
Zoe then looked ready to fight, which JP quickly noticed.
"Don't do it Zoe!" JP pleaded, "Don't you remember you were no match for her last time!".
"For Pete's sake, am I the only one here with a pinch of optimism!?" she asked, feeling annoyed.
"But Zoe," Takuya said with worry.
"Don't but Zoe me!" she said, "If Talpidmon can fight to protect his friends then so can I!".
"Now you talking!" Talpidmon encouraged.
"Hope this works," Zoe said before beginning her transformation, "Execute spirit evolution!".
Then in a few moments, she had become, "Kazemon!".
"My, you're quite a little glutton for punishment, aren't you?" Ranamon asked.
"Let's kickstart this fight!" Kazemon then unleashed a flurry of kicks.
However, Ranamon blocked it with her geysers, knocking her back. She then moved the geysers aside, showing that Ranamon was lying on her belly in a cute way, looking real smug.
"Hurricane Winds!" Kazemon then tried to whack the water warrior with her winds, but Ranamon just blocked with the geysers again.
Talpidmon then dug drilled into the ground, "Stala-Smite!"
This shot stalagmites at Ranamon, but she blocked them as well.
"Hey no fair!" he yelled.
"You said it," Kazimon agreed.
"Honey, I could do this all day," Ranamon said, looking smug, "but I'll take pity on ya and destroy you now,"
Ranamon then winked and made a water geyser knock Talpidmon of the cleft.
"Aaahhhhh!" he screamed.
But Kazemon then flew in and caught the earth Digimon.
"Don't worry I got you," she said.
"Thanks friend," Talpidmon thanked, "Now get Talpidmon back on earth so attacks will work!".
"Sorry, but I don't feel like more rocks honey," Ranamon then snapped her fingers and made a vortex of dark clouds appear over Kazemon, "Draining Rain!".
This caused rain to fall upon the fairy, causing much pain. this also caused her to accidentally toss Talpidmon into the air.
"Zoe no!" Takuya shouted.
"Zoe!" JP yelled.
Kazemon screamed as she fell into the whirlpool
"Me get you for that Ranamon!" Talpidmon yelled as fell towards the near Ranamon, before foolishly trying to grab the water warrior.
"Oh be quiet sugar," she said before commanding her water geysers to slap Talpidmon into the same whirlpool as Zoe.
"Whaaa!" he screamed,
"No, not Talpidmon too!" Tommy said with fear.
Then, under the water,
It looked like the warriors of wind and earth were done for.
However, Zoe had not drowned, which she soon realized.
"Huh, this is impossible, I can breathe?" she said, before looking down and seeing a bright light, "I got hit so hard I'm seeing stars,".
As she got closer to the light, Zoe then saw a clam that opened up and had a beast spirit that looked like a bird woman.
"So beautiful," Zoe said as she got closer, "It's my beast spirit!".
She then absorbed it into her D-tector, feeling glad. But then she saw Talpidmon, who seemed to be struggling like he was drowning.
"Calm down, you not drowning!" Zoe said as she flouted towards him.
"Huh, what you mean," He asked, before catching on, "Oh me understand now,".
"Guess what, I just got my beast spirit!" Zoe said with excitement.
"Hey, that wonderful," Talpidmon said, "Hurry up and evolve and give Ranamon spanking!".
However, Zoe then looked down and seemed sad and unsure.
"Hey, what matter with you, evolve already?" Talpidmon asked.
"But, what if I can't control it?" Zoe asked, sounding nervous, "I know I bragged that I would be able to, but what if I'm not good enough and I lose control like Ranamon?".
This surprised the Talpidmon, he didn't expect to see the girl feel doubt, especially after she reminded him so much of the water warrior.
"You not need worry, you not like Ranamon," he explained.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Zoe asked as she looked at the mole.
"Ranamon not humble, Zoe admit she not perfect, Ranamon never do that" Talpidmon explained, "Me tell you trick to controlling beast spirit," he said, which surprised the girl.
"Really what is it?" she asked, a bit nervous.
"When me used become Gigasmon, me not try to force control," Talpidmon explained, "Gigasmon spirit wanted work with Grumblemon, so Grumblemon not fight Gigasmon, Grumblemon trust Gigasmon, and then problem no be".
Zoe began to understand, despite the Digimon's terrible grammar, "So I just need to trust my beast spirit, is that it?".
Talpidmon nodded, "You warrior of wind, don't fight wind, let wind guide you,".
Zoe then smiled, before hugging the mole, "Thanks Talpidmon," she said kindly before letting him go, "Now let's go stop Ranamon and save are friends!"
Talpidmon smiled and nodded in agreement, before swimming on to the top of Zoe's hat. The two then flouted outwards.
Back above the water,
"Zoe come back!" JP shouted, trying to jump in after her, but was held back by Koji.
"JP no!" he said.
"Zoe, Talpidmon!" Takuya yelled.
"It can't be," Bokomon said, sounding worried.
"What a bother," Ranamon said from the comfort of her geyser, "And here I thought I'd get a chance to test out my beast spirit, it's really not fair,".
"You're toast lady!" Takuya yelled with anger.
"Thanks, but I already had my breakfast," Ranamon said as she stretched, before turning towards the kids, "Hey, maybe I could test out my beast spirit on y'all?".
Just then, the whirlpool that had consumed the Zoe and Talpidmon was doing something.
"Takuya look, the whirlpool's going away," Tommy pointed out, before it completely disappeared.
"What, now how in the world did that happen, huh?" Ranamon asked as she looked towards the former whirlpool.
Then a water geyser even bigger than Ranamon's erupted from the water, startling everyone, especially Ranamon.
"What is going on?" she asked, sounding scared.
"Oh my, could it be?" Bokomon asked.
The water then disappeared and revealed Zoe, with Talpidmon on her head.
"It could," Takuya said with joy.
"It's Zoe!" JP said with excitement.
"And Talpidmon!" Tommy said also.
This made Ranamon worried.
"Yes, I'm back and I brought a little friend," she said gracefully.
"Hehe, and she no mean me," Talpidmon chuckled, before jumping off and landing on the raft.
Zoe then held out her D-tector and began the transformation.
"Execute, beast spirit evolution!" she shouted.
Feathers then surrounded Zoe and the armor began to form.
Wait a minute, that one's not modest either! Can't these girls ever have any appropriate clothes on, seriously!? Ugh, try this on instead, birdy.
The dimension flickered and swirled, and when it stopped, more was added to the armor.
The evolution then was finished, and the winged beast flew down revealing itself as, "Zephyrmon!"
"Who is that!?" Takuya asked with enthusiasm.
"That is Zephyrmon," Bokomon explained, "Behold, the legendary warrior of wind.
Zephyrmon looked a like a beautiful harpy, with large brown wings on her back, light blue hair that was shaped like wings, she had sharp talons for feet, armored talons on her hands, and covering her body was a combination of sliver armor and slick purple fabric that made he look like a ninja, this was supported by her covered mouth and mysterious blue eyes.
"Oh my, why!?" Ranamon said in shock, before blinking twice as she stared at the bird, "Your pretty, your beast spirit made you pretty!" she then glared at Zephyrmon, before acting very immature, "Well, of course, it's not like you're prettier than me, I mean that's not even possible," she looked away, before wavering her hand at the wind warrior frantically, causing her to flout in place, "But just because you are prettier than me doesn't mean anything, ya got it!" She then crossed her arms in petty spite, "Do you have adoring fans all over the world who worship you?!" she asked, before pointing her pointer finger upwards, "I don't think so!".
"You know, for a legendary warrior of water," Zephyrmon said with her mature womanly voice, "You sure give off a lot of hot air,".
This made Ranamon steaming mad.
"Haha, Ranamon jealous she not prettiest no more, haha!" Talpidmon laughed and pointed like an annoying little brother.
"That does it!" the water warrior grumbled feeling ticked off, "Your going down sugar, now, how should I defeat you?" Ranamon asked, before she then did some weird dance with her head, before using her attack, "Dark vapor!".
Ranamon then shot out a dark mist from her finger that surrounded the wind warrior.
"You're in for it now girlie, that haze will melt anything, "Ranamon said with cockiness, "Have your feathers started molting yet?" However, she was soon surprised that nothing was happening, "Wait a minute, how come you're not molting?".
"I think it's time you learned a little respect," Zephrymon said, before her claws and talons glowed with an energy orb, "Plasma paws!".
The bird women then charged at the water warrior. This scared Ranamon, so she quickly made her geyser rise, but Zephymon charged through and broke the geyser, causing the water warrior to fall.
"Aaaaahhaahahaaaa!" she screamed before splashing into the water.
"All right!" Tommy cheered.
"I'll say," Koji added.
"She's controlling her spirit!" Takuya cheered.
"Wow, she listen to Talpidmon," the Digimon said, "Zoe perfect sync with beast spirit!".
"She's amazing isn't she JP!" Tommy asked.
"Ahh, boy howdy," he said in astonishment, his eyes beaming like a fanboy.
Ranamon then bobbed up from the water, looking even more ticked off than before, "Right, that's it, no more pussyfooting around!" She then struck a cute pose and caused fractal code to surround her, "Ranamon, slide evolution!" the data then dispersed revealing, "Calmaramon!".
The squid lady then emerged from the water.
"Oh, that what she called," Talpidmon said, before hiding in the barrel, while peeking out from the top.
"Let the party begin!" Calmaramon shouted.
"Zoe, get away!" JP cried, while holding onto Tommy in fear.
"You won't be so pretty when I get through with you sweetheart!" the squid threatened and laughed, "Acid Ink!".
Calmaramon then spat up ink at her foe. But Zephrymon quickly flew upwards and dodged the attack. But Calmaramon wasn't going to stop. She quickly spat out another blob of ink, but the bird dodged again, but it did melt away a small part of the island.
"That's what'll happen to your friends!" the squid then turned to the raft, "Ready boys!"
Calmaramon then spat more ink, but Zephrymon flew in and swiped away the ink with ease, though it did singe her wing.
"Hahaha, what's the matter little girl, did I burn you all up?" Calmaramon taunted, before spitting ink rapidly.
Zephrymon swiped back each blob, but she was soon grabbed by the tentacle.
"I'm just too good," the water beast bragged.
"That witch," Takuya growled
"It's awful," Tommy added, "We can't do anything,".
Zephrymon groaned in pain.
"Stop it!" Koji yelled, "Let her go, you scum queen!"
"Yeah, you ugly fish-head!" JP added.
"What?!" Calmaramon shouted, "What did you say?".
This scared JP, but Koji remained brave.
"You heard him!" he shouted, before looking at the others, "If we call her names and distract her, maybe Zephyrmon can escape,".
"Okay," Takuya said, before shouting "Hey, you slimy dateless wonder!".
"You big coward!" Tommy shouted.
The boys continued to insult the squid.
"Can it, Oh, You are so dead!" Calmaramon said.
But then Talpidmon shouted, "Stupid short shark!".
This made Calmaramon froze and start to twitch, which made Talpidmon cover his mouth.
"You promised you'd never say that again Grumblemon!" she shouted with rage, and what looked like a few tears in her eye. She let go of Zephrymon and grabbed Talpidmon.
"No, me not mean it, honest!" he said as he struggled, "Talpidmon sorry!".
"I'll send you to depts of Dragomon for bringing up my height your horrid pile of pebbles!" she yelled, never sounding angrier.
However, this gave Zephrymon the chance she needed. The bird then flew and swiped at the squid, making her let go of the mole. The wind beast then grabbed Talpidmon and tossed him to safety.
"Huh?" Calmaramon asked.
"Hurricane Gale!" Zephrymon then shot a power wind that sliced against the squid.
Calmaramon was then knocked back and fell into the water.
The boys then cheered at Zephrymon's triumph.
"That's for picking on my friends," the wind beast said.
"And go tell your friends, there will be more of that if they mess with us!" Takuya added.
Calmaramon soon got up and glared at the kids, "Now you're going to get it!" she shouted, not realizing her makeup was running, which freaked out the boys, making them scream, much to the confusion of the squid girl"Huh?".
"That's the scariest thing yet!" Tommy said, which left the water beast dumb founded.
"Be quiet!" she shouted, sounding angry again, "You brats are in for a heaping helping of pain, especially you Grumblemon!".
This made Talpidmon hide behind JP.
Calmaramon then jumped into the air and began her attack, "Titanic Tempest!" she then started to spin around rapidly. However, it wasn't long until she lost control, "Hahaha, huh, ahahahaaa!?"
"Ooh, I'm going to enjoy this," Zephyrmon giggled.
"Aaaah, I'll let you easy this time!" Calmaramon stuttered as she spun around, as she was flying uncontrollably all around the sky, before finally flying far away and leaving a brief star.
"What was that?" JP asked.
"I guess someone can't control her beast spirit yet," Zephyrmon said, "Now, let's get everybody back to that island,".
Talpidmon however, was looking to where the squid had gone, "Ranamon still call Talpidmon Grumblemon, does that mean Ranamon still care?" he thought.
A few moments later,
The Gomamon cheered as the reunited with their loved ones.
"They're sure happy," Neemon said while looking like a sailor.
"And it's all thanks to you Zoe," Bokomon explained, "If you didn't have the courage to stand up to Ranamon, now of this would be possible,".
"Thanks, but it wasn't just me," Zoe said, "Talpidmon fought too, and he gave me advice on controlling my beast spirit,".
"Really, well I guess he would know how," Bokomon replied, before getting bad memories of Gigasmon.
"Yeah, me great with spirits," Talpidmon bragged as he was lying down looking lazy, "Me master with all spirits me ever have,".
"And yet you still lost all of them," Takuya teased, which ticked off the mole.
"Shut up!" he said with a ranting fist after springing up.
"Come to think off it, when Grumblemon had mine and Zoe's spirits, does that mean he could have turned into Kumamon and Kazimon?" Tommy thought out loud.
Everyone than thought of Grumblemon turning into his own version of Kumamon and Kazemon, the latter being rather disturbing.
"Aaaah, no!" Zoe screamed, alongside Talpidmon.
"Me no have hips for that!" he shouted, just as freaked out.
After they all calmed down, the Gomamon came up to the heroes.
"We just want to that you all," One of the Gomamon said, "If it weren't for you we'd never see our friends again,".
"You should be thanking Zoe," Takuya explained.
"Yeah, she's the one who did everything," Koji added.
The boys were than hugged by Zoe.
"Aw!" she said, "You guys helped me more than you know,".
"Uh, ha, ha, ha, ha," Takuya laughed nervously.
"Cut it out," Koji blushed.
Though the other guys were jealous about this.
"Hey, what about us?" Tommy asked.
"Where's ours, huh?" JP moaned
"Okay," Zoe said, before nabbing the two in a hug.
"Me glad Talpidmon already get one," Talpidmon mumbled.
"Well get ready for another!" Zoe then hugged the Digimon.
"Huh, hey what gives!?" he said, sounding surprised.
"Just wanted to make sure you knew you were appreciated," Zoe said, which confused the mole, before he smiled. With all this possitive attention and friendship, Talpidmon was really starting to feel good to be well good.
"You guys see the Toucanmon?" Koji asked the Gomamon
"They're gone," one of them explained.
"Huh?" the heroes said.
"They all left for the Autumn Leaf Fair," another one explained.
"The what?" Takuya asked.
"It's a trader's market on the continent north of here," Bokomon explained.
"Then let's go," Takuya said eagerly.
"But how?" Zoe asked, "Evan as Zephyrmon, I can't carry all of you,".
"I guess will use the bout that rocks all round again!" Neemon said, much to the dismay of the others.
"Oh, why is nothing ever easy?" JP moaned.
"Tell me bout it," Talpidmon grumbled in agreeance.
Narrator Rika: And it's a safe bet that it's just going to get harder, guys. The find out what's going on there-,
Wait! There's more!
Narrator Rika: What, not again!?
Meanwhile, at the lair of the evil warriors,
Mercurymon was walking down the hall, when he heard something coming from Ranamon's room.
"Praytell, what tis that which beckons my nonexistence ears?" he then realized it was crying.
The steel warrior soon found the water warrior sobbing, making her pool larger with tears.
"Whhhhaaaahaaahaa, Its not fair, it's not fair!" she cried, "Why does she get to be pretty, and I just, whaaaa?!".
"What troubles you m'lady?" Mercurymon asked calmingly.
"I-i-it was awful Mercurymon, that human girl brat got her beast spirit, and, and, whaaaa!" Ranamon just kept crying.
"Hm, so thy be jealous of the wind best eh?" Mercurymon stated, "Tis strange the lass could control it so quickly?".
"Why was she so special, she not even a real Digimon?!" Ranamon said, "Yet here I am a pure hybrid Digimon and I can't do squat with mine!".
"Thou will figure out thy spirit soon I reckon," Mercurymon tried to encourage.
"Oh, what do you know!" she yelled, before burying her head in her arms, while on the side of her pool, "Why can't I be as good as that girl?!".
Mercurymon then walked up to the water warrior, crouched down, and lifted her head, "There, there, sweet Ranamon, thou need'th not dwell on such a trifle issue," he said kindly, "Thou is way more special than any mere human,".
Ranamon sniffled at the Metal warrior's words, "R-r-really, you mean it sugar?" she asked, to which he nodded, before helping her out of the pool.
"Now dry thy' tears, for I will teach you how to control thy' beast spirit," Mercurymon explained.
"Really, y-you'd do that darling?" she asked, which he nodded, "W-wow, that's mighty sweet of you honey,".
"Tis well said, now let us make haste," Mercurymon said before the two warriors began to leave the room.
"Um, Mercurymon, can I ask you something?" Ranamon asked, still a bit down from the crying.
Mercurymon then looked at the girl Digimon, "What'ith be Ranamon?".
"I'm beautiful, right?" she asked, seeming unsure.
"But of course," Mercurymon said, "Thou does not need'th to ask a mirror to know that m'lady,".
"Thanks, I just need a reminder," she said with a giggle.
