The Digi-destined sped through the water on their raft.
"Whoa, this is working great!" Takuya said, as they sailed out of the ocean and onto a stream that ran over the gaps in the world, "We should get to that Autumn Leaf Fair thingy in no time!".
"Let's hope so," Bokomon said.
"And let's hope the Toucanmon are there," Tommy added, before noticing Neemon had fallen asleep, "How can anyone sleep at a time like this, doesn't he know we have important things to do?".
"Like what, sweep up the raft?" JP asked with sarcasm, "Relax,".
Talpidmon however, wasn't having the best time, "Who care, me want back on land!" he shouted while holding onto the tree from inside the barrel and looking fairly sick.
However, unknown to the heroes, something was lurking at the bottom the ocean they had just left.
Suddenly, what was left of the cave Whamon was once trapped in exploded. Revealing the warrior of wood, Arbormon, who let out a yawn as he stretched, "Ugh, well that was a thing," Arbormon said before looking around, "Hey where you at Grumblemon?".
Arbormon then remembered what happened.
"Oh, right, those humans," he then clutched his fist, before calming down, "Now to make whoever has them D-tectors pay for making me work so hard," he said while holding up his pointer finger, "Not mention avenge my fellow warrior, right,".
Back with the heroes,
The raft soon left the steam and entered a water filled with ice bergs.
"Man, we are cooking along now!" Takuya said, before feeling cold, "Well, maybe cooking isn't really the right word,".
"Yeah, I can't feel my fingers," Zoe said as she shivered, which Koji noticed.
The boy then offered the girl his blue coat, much to her surprise.
"Take it," he said, while looking away.
"Yeah, you sure?" Zoe asked, which Koji nodded, "Grazie, you're the best,"
This unfortunately freaked out JP, "Why doesn't she say that to me?" he thought, feeling sad.
Tommy, who was still in a barrel then noticed that Neemon was still sleeping, "Neemon wake up, you can't sleep in the cold, you'll freeze to death!".
This thankfully woke the yellow Digimon, freaking him out a little.
"Hey, look at that!" Bokomon pointed out, to which everyone looked ahead.
"Um, what are we looking at?" JP asked.
"Land ahead!" Bokomon said as he pointed ahead.
"Huh, really!?" Talpidmon asked, sounding hopeful as he looked out of the barrel.
The raft then slid onto land, went down a slope of snow and kept going.
"That was way better than I thought it be," Takuya said, "But where's that Autumn Fair thing?".
Bokomon then pulled out his book, "It should be just up ahead," he explained.
"Yeah, well there is something ahead?" Zoe pointed out, referring to the next downward slope "But it doesn't look very fair!".
"Everyone hold onto something so we don't fall off the raft!" Koji commanded.
"No need tell me twice!" Talpidmon said as he clung tighter to the tree.
The raft then went over the slope and sped down, causing the tree mast to snap off.
"Oh,oh, it's not over yet," Tommy said.
"Whoa!" everyone screamed as the raft flew fastest.
"What is that!?" Tommy asked.
"A snowman?" everyone said, before they crashed through the snowman, which destroyed the raft.
A few moments later,
The heroes were now on the ground, which didn't have snow on it.
"Now, that's more what I was expecting," JP groaned, which the others did.
Expect Talpidmon, who was kissing the ground, "Ah, land, earth, Talpidmon hope never leave again!".
"Hey, it's warm here?" Koji said, before feeling the ground.
"It's warm?" Zoe asked, "Why is it warm?".
Takuya then got up, "Maybe that!" he said, while pointing at the giant kettle in the middle of a town.
"Whoa!" the others said.
"H-hey, it's the fair thingy!" Takuya cheered, before everyone got up and started going into the town.
"Ugh, how I despise crowds," Bokomon moaned.
As they entered, they could see many different types of Digimon socializing in the town.
"So that's why we ended up here," a blue dragon said to a yellow dinosaur, "Its they only possible reason Agumon,".
"I don't think noodles have anything to do with this Veemon," the Dino replied.
"So how are things going for you two?" a cactus asked a wizard and a white cat.
"Everything seems great at the minute," the wizard replied, "Still feels great to be back,".
"I'm just glad to have you back Wizardmon," the cat said happily.
"Come on down, baby!" a monkey with sunglasses in an orange suit with an Elvis accent shouted from his food stand, "Try a bite of Etemon's super spectacular Shish-Kabobs, aw-haw-ah!".
"There really quite delicious," a green bug said as he ate one.
"You said it Wormmon," a rabbit like Digimon with the bug said, "And I thought they would just be bananas,".
"You certainly know how to show a girl a good time Myotismon," a lady in a red dress that was spider themed, said to a masked vampire as she held his arm.
"I suppose," he groaned, "How much longer until you forgive me?".
"Well, I think I've almost forgiven you now, as soon as we find Mummymon,".
"Even if those Toucanmon are here, it will be like finding the tiniest needle ever in a million haystacks," Zoe said.
"Me no want needle, me want spirits!" Talpidmon shouted.
"It's a figure of speech Talpidmon," JP groaned.
"Erm, me knew that," he lied, trying to not look foolish, "Me legendary warrior of earth, me smart!".
"Don't you need to have spirit to be a legendary warrior?" Neemon asked, before Bokomon snapped his pants, "Owowowo!".
"Being a legendary warrior is not just about having a spirit," he explained.
"What you mean?" Talpidmon asked.
"Well I think he means, it's also about protecting the digital world," Zoe suggested.
"Yeah, and keeping all the Digimon safe from evil," JP added, before sounding cocky, "Something were all great at,".
This made Talpidmon think. While he had been the legendary warrior of Earth for most of his life, he really hadn't done any of the things Zoe and JP talked about. He had actually done a lot of evil in his past. In that case, was he ever a legendary warrior at all?
"So shall we split up and get looking?" Takuya said,
To which the other replied with a nodded and a "Hm-mm,".
"Huh, yeah, yeah," Talpidmon said as tried to brush off what he was thinking.
A few moments later,
Takuya was talking to a golden beetle like Digimon
"And they're colorful and they're really super annoying," Takuya explained, "Have you seen them,"
"Nope sorry," the bug replied, "Would you like to buy a sword or a two?".
"No," he moaned.
Meanwhile with Koji,
The warrior of light had met up with a Pandamon that had helped them during an incident with toys and Digimon made of lego.
"So they've been around?" he asked.
The panda shook his head, "They sound like the dark Toyagumon, but worse,".
Koji groaned in agreement.
Meanwhile with the girl,
Zoe had gone into an armory shop
"Hello, is anyone home?" she asked.
"Yeah, someone's home," a voice that sounded like two said.
Zoe then found the owner of that voice. It appeared to be a white knight had a few features that look like a red dinosaur, carried a lance and shield, and had the digital hazard symbol on his chest and shield.
"Wow, we haven't seen a human in forever," the knight said.
"Huh, you've seen humans before?" she asked.
"Yeah, it's a long story," the knight replied, "You look troubled, is there anything we can do to help?".
"Well, you see me, and my friends are trying to find some Digimon called the Toucanmon and it's really important that we find them," Zoe explained, "Have you seen them?".
The knight shook his head, "Sorry wish we could help," he said with regret, "We're busy trying to find someone,".
"Really, who you are looking for?" Zoe asked.
"Someone really close and kind," The knight explained, "I hope we can all find what we're looking for,".
"Okay, thanks anyways," Zoe said, saddened by the lack of info, before leaving.
The knight was also saddened by the girl's trifle. He then tried to perk up, he had his own quest to attend too.
"Can we get some Guilmon bread now?" the knight asked himself, strangely, "Okay, but only a little,".
Meanwhile with JP,
The chubby Digi-destined was in a restaurant talking to a Digimon that looked like an egg with fat reptile legs and a crack that showed his yellow eyes.
"Not even one?" he asked.
"No, sorry," the egg with legs replied, "But if they come by my restaurant, I'll be sure charge them extra for their meal,".
"How does that help?" JP asked.
"It helps me stay in business!" the egg said, sounding greedy.
"Oh come on!" JP said in frustration.
"Keep it down, can't you the king's try to enjoy his launch break, Awh-huh-awh," The Digimon that was selling shish-kabobs early shouted, before drinking his drink.
"Urm sorry?" JP said, but then he noticed a sign that said, 'eat 30 plates and win a prize', "Hey sign me up!".
Meanwhile with Talpidmon,
"Hey, you see bird brain Toucanmon?" he asked a digimon that looked like a small devil with a red scarf, "Me want spirit back and me no wait no more now!".
"No, have you seen a grammar teacher, cause you should find one," the imp teased with its small Brooklyn accent, "I've heard little gurls talk better than yous, haha,".
"Talpidmon talk however Talpidmon want!" Talpidmon shouted.
"Whatever, later loser, haha," the imp said as he walked away, leaving an angry Talpidmon.
"Gerr, if me had spirit, and not become good guy, me swear!" he grumbled before looking elsewhere.
Meanwhile with Bokomon,
"-The digital worlds future," he finished explaining to an ugly snail like Digimon running a shop
"No, I'm too busy trying to make a living after the mountain home of my people got scanned, to notice those kinds of things," he explained, which alerted Talpidmon who was nearby, "Some sort of troll took it or something.
Talpidmon happened to hear this and quickly ran away nervously after hearing this, leaving a dust cloud in his shape.
"Huh, what was that?" Bokomon asked.
Meanwhile (I think this is the last one for awhile),
Tommy had just asked a tadpole like Digimon about the Toucanmon.
"I haven't seen them," the Digimon replied.
"Ok, thanks," Tommy said, before the tadpole hopped away, "What if we never find them?" Tommy asked himself, sounding down, "The Digital World is doomed, and we'll never get to go back home," Tommy then shook these thoughts out of his head, now was not the time to be a downer, "I'm going to find them no matter what!" he said with determination, before noticing something in the nearby alleyway, "A trading post, maybe the Toucanmon stopped in there!".
Tommy then entered the shop and found a strange robot Digimon that looked like a vacuum tube working on something.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Yeah, what?" the Digimon answered, "Can't you see I'm busy here?".
"Datamon is great with any kind of machine or electronic device, but he's not so good with people"
Wait, who said that?
"Ah, come on, oh, aw!" Datamon said, focused on his work.
Tommy then looked over and saw that the robot was playing a space invaders like game.
"That's being busy?" Tommy asked.
"Yes, it is!" Datamon replied with mild anger, "Come on, come on, oh, no, no, no, oh, ow, aahh!".
It wasn't long until his ship, that was a cactus Digimon called Togemon, was blasted by the boss ship and got a game over.
"No, now I have to start all over again, oh you!" he cried as he held his computer bulb head.
"Hey, why don't you let me take a shot at that?" Tommy asked, while pointing at himself.
"Do what?" Datamon asked, "You're just a human child!?".
"Video games are my specialty," Tommy proclaimed.
In a few moments Tommy was playing the game, with tight focus, despite Datamon's backseat gaming, "Ok, now, be careful about, oh, you got to be!".
But Tommy was doing great, his Togemon having almost blasting away all the enemy Pagumon
"And watch out for the, oh, ok, missed him good," Datamon said, "So tell me, are all human children as good as you?".
"Nope, just me," Tommy proclaimed, before the boss appeared on the game "It's the mother ship,".
"Ok, ok, don't panic, don't ooh, good, yeah, ok, ok, come on, you can, oh!" Datamon stuttered, "But you can, oh, aiie, excellent, ha!".
Tommy then defeated the boss and winning the game, causing the Digimon to laugh with joy.
"Oh yeah!" Tommy cheered, which Datamon applauded. Then something appeared on the screen that looked like a snowball, "Hey, it looks like I won something, so what did I win anyway?".
"Oh, that" Datamon said, sounding shifty "Oh, it's just nothing,".
He then took out the cartridge from the game machine.
"So what you going to do with that?" Tommy asked.
"That's none of your business," Datamon said, before walking away and opening a safe, that had something very important to the heroes.
"Whoa, wait a minute Our D-tectors!".
"Really?" Datamon said as he held Takuya's, "These things are called D-tectors, ha?".
"They belong to me and my friends!" Tommy said, "Give it!".
"You must have a cracked transistor?" Datamon said, "These are mine, kid,".
"It was the Toucanmon, they stole them," Tommy explained, "Then they came here and traded our stuff to you!".
"Yeah right," Datamon replied, unconvinced "You should write books if you can think up stories like that,".
"It's not just a story, it's the truth, I swear!" Tommy pleaded, "You have to believe me!".
"Yeah, yeah, I don't have to do anything, do you have any proof?" Datamon asked.
"Not really," Tommy said, "Wait, give me one and I'll spirit-evolve!".
"Nice try kid, I give you this thing, then you'll run right out the door with it, hah," Datamon said, still suspicious, "I've been doped by a monkey, and I'm not going to be tricked again,".
"Isn't there anything I can do to convince you?" Tommy asked.
"Look, I'm running a business," Datamon explained, "If you want them, you'll gave to trade for them,".
Meanwhile with Talpidmon,
The mole kept walking through the festive, hoping to find his spirits. But also hoping not to be found by one of the KaratsukiNumemon.
However, the later soon became a lot harder, when Talpidmon soon spotted a group of the snail Digimon.
"Yerg, no, me can't let KaratsukiNumemon see me," he said to himself, "Not after Grumblemon destroy home,".
But as he turned away, Talpidmon ran into one of the disgusting Digimon.
"Oi, watch where you're going!" the snail said.
"Argh, sorry, me bad," Talpidmon apologized.
"Well whatever," The KaratsukiNumemon said, "Hey, you look familiar, have I seen you before,".
"N-no, me no know what you talk about?" Talpidmon lied, hoping the snail wouldn't figure out who he once was.
"Really, because you really sound like that bloke Grumblemon who destroyed our home?" another KaratsukiNumemon said, as more began to appear.
"W-well, that to bad, me sorry for that," Talpidmon nervously said, "I me mean, me sorry about, I mean,".
"Yeah, you said it," another KaratsukiNumemon said.
"That awful Digimon is a disgrace legendary warrior,".
"I hate him so much!".
"He's terrible!".
"Down with Grumblemon!".
This was making Talpidmon sweat, he knew if they figured out he was Grumblemon, he was doomed.
Unfortunately, the mustached chief of the KaratsukiNumemon soon noticed the symbol on Talpidmon chest.
"Hang on a minute, that looks like what was on Grumblemon's nose?" he said suspiciously, "Then that must mean, your somehow related to Grumblemon!".
Talpidmon then did the best thing he could think off and took off running.
"Me sorry, me had do it for Cherubimon!" he cried as he ran, much to the confusion of the KaratsukiNumemon, "Me sorry, me sorry!".
As Talpidmon screamed and run, he passed by the imp he talked to early.
"Oi, watch it!" he said, but Talpidmon didn't notice, "Ugh, what's with that troll,".
"Pardon me, but did you see a servant of Grumblemon come through here?" the KaratsukiNumemon asked.
"Who's asken?" the imp asked, "And what the heck is a Grumblemon?".
"He's the villain that kidnapped our women and destroyed our home," the snail explained.
"Really, sounds like my kind of guy," the imp mumbled.
"I heard he joined up with the Digi-destined," a small Digimon that looked like a brown water lizard with orange hair, "My friends on Gomamon island told me an earth Digimon helped them get home,".
"That's utter nonsense Bukamom," A KaratsukiNumemon said to the in training Digimon, "Who ever heard of a bad Digimon becoming good?".
This seemed to tick off the imp Digimon, as if he knew that the snail was in the wrong. "Bada Boom!" the imp then through a small flame at the snail Digimon, which startled them.
"Oi, what was that for?!" one of them said.
"You'd best watch your mouth, yah dig?" the imp said, "Yous don't know what your talking about, now scram!".
"But?" the KaratsukiNumemon said, before the Imp growled, scarring the snails off.
"Some peoples got no respect I tells yah," the imp said, before looking to where Talpidmon had run off.
Back at Datamon's shop,
After Tommy had failed to trade the clothes off his back and started crying when Datamon started messing with the D-tectors, the phone than rang.
"hrrm, all right, all right, don't blow a gasket!" Datamon said before picking up the old timey phone, "Yeah?".
"Yeah yourself, nobody's got no respect," a rough Brooklyn accent said, "Youse the guy with Toucanmon, right?".
"Huh?" Datamon asked, not understanding half of what was just said.
Meanwhile on the other side of the phone, at the beach,
"The Toucanmon, the Toucan-, geez why am I talking, just to hear myself speak here?!" the warrior of wood Arbormon said in frustration, "They brought in the spirit, remember?".
While he talked on the phone, two Toucanmon hugged each other in fear, likely terrified from the wooded robot wrecking their place.
"Oh yeah, right?" Datamon said, still confused.
"I'll be there in an hour to get them, got it?" Arbormon said as he was trying to clean the sea mud off himself, "You make sure they're still there, or else!" he said while holding up his finger, "You understand!?".
"Yeah, sure, I understand," Datamon replied, before hanging up the phone, "I have no idea what he's talking about,".
"What was that, hello?!" Arbormon then broke the phone, "Urgh, can't anything go right today!?".
He then walked out, trying to contain his anger, "Ah, Grumblemon, why'd it have to be you?" he sighed, before he punched a palm tree in frustration.
However, it seemed that someone was in that tree.
"Ahhh!" Scutlemon said as he fell out next to the wood warrior, before getting up eagerly "Oh, you must be Arbormon,".
"Yeah who's asking?" Arbormon asked.
"I'm Scutlemon, I'm on a mission to," The Digimon explained, but Arbormon got bored and started walking away, "Hey wait!".
"Look, I don't got time for autographs," the wood warrior said, "I gots business with some digi-dunderheads, yah understand,".
"Oh you must mean the Digi-destined?" Scutlemon said as he followed, "You sure seem determined,".
"Well of course, those jerks beat my buddy Grumblemon, so theys gots to pay, right," Arbormon replied.
"Really, I thought you evil warriors didn't care about each other?" Scutlemon said.
"Who told yah that nonsense?" Arbormon asked, which seemed to make the young Digimon a bit nervous.
"Um, erm, eh well, y'know, it's just what goes around and around, and stuff," Scutlemon stuttered like he was trying not to spoil something.
"Whatever, anyways it's not true, yah understand," Arbormon said, which Scutlemon nodded, "Yah can't believe everything you hear, right,".
"So it sounds like you were really close to Grumblemon?" the young Digimon asked, "How come?".
"Well y'know, wood needs earth to grow, so we just sort of work well together, y'know," Arbormon explained, before something accrued to him "Hey wait a sec, why yous following me?".
"Oh, um, just wanted to get to know one of the cool legendary warriors," Scutlemon explained trying not to provoke the wood warrior, before running off, "Bye bye!".
"Huh, well that was pointless," Arbormon said before continuing to the Autumn Leaf Festival, "Oh well, forget about it,".
Back with Tommy and Datamon,
The robot computer Digimon had dismantled Tommy's D-tector a good bit and was about to the same to Takuya's, claiming 'he needed to look at it in order to fix the other one'.
This left poor Tommy in tears, "Will you stop, I don't care about mine, but don't break another one!", Tommy was crying even more tears now.
"Look, what's with all the brouhaha?" Datamon asked.
"I know I'm just a little kid and I only get in the way most of the time," Tommy explained, "But Takuya and JP and Koji and Zoe, they're different, they're going to save the world, by they have to have those D-tectors to do it!".
This intrigued Datamon, but he mostly felt sorry for the kid. However, he wasn't running a charity, but he did think of something that would help, "I'll tell you what,".
"What?" Tommy asked, still crying.
"I owe you for winning the game," Datamon explained, "I'll give you one hour to find something to trade,".
This cheered Tommy up greatly, making him laugh with a glimmer of hope.
But then a clock bonged, which made them look at it.
"But just an hour, got it, not a minute longer," Datamon said, "And don't you dare breathe a word of this to anyone, I can't have customers thinking that I've gone soft around the diode, y'know what I mean?".
"Right, one hour," Tommy said, sounding determined.
"Actually, now it's just 58 minutes," Datamon pointed out.
"You won't regret this, I swear," Tommy said, before running out.
The boy than ran through the street and shouted out the names of his friends as he ran by many other Digimon.
"Now, where'd that pebble brain run of too?" an imp Digimon said, "I swear that pineapple-head was easier to find,".
"I hope these bananas will work as payment for the food," A bug Digimon said to an orange monkey.
"Ah thank you baby, you're too kind, ah-haw-haw,".
"You were really that worried about me darling?" A tall shady looking Digimon in blue clothes said to a women Digimon in red clothes with a spider theme, "Does that mean you really love me?".
"Don't let it go to your head bandage brain," The women said, sounding slightly annoyed, but then more caring, "But, it was never the same without you, so, I'm just happy to see you're okay,".
"Oh, I'm even more glad that you wanted me Arukenimon!"
"Oh just perfect, now they're lost!" Tommy cried, "Well I'll just have to find a way to make this work all by myself," he then held his hat in frustration, "But I need some help to do it!".
Tommy then started to leave town and was noticed by Neemon who was up in a tree.
Meanwhile with Talpidmon,
The former Earth warrior was hiding in an ally, sulking about his misdeeds
"How can me be good guy if me did so much bad as Grumblemon?" he asked himself. He was slightly confused by the guilt he felt, but he was getting used to this feeling. But that didn't help him forget all the places he destroyed and Digimon he hurt, "Maybe not really a legendary warrior at all?".
"What's got you so down bad grammar?" a voice with a Brooklyn accent that was more mischievous than Arbormon,
Talpidmon looked up and saw the imp he talked to earlier standing on a roof.
"What, you come make fun of way talk again?" he grumbled.
"Nah, maybe later," the imp then jumped down "So I take it your Grumblemon?".
"Hppmh, me wish me still was," Talpidmon grumbled, "Who you are anyways?".
"Names Impmon," he replied boastfully, "And word around town is that yous a bad guy gone good?".
"Yeah, me used to be warrior for Cherubimon," Talpidmon explained, he saw no reason to hide at this point "Now me not sure if me ever warrior at all,".
"So I'm guessing it's true that you destroyed those shell brains home?" Impmon asked, which Talpidmon nodded, "Eh, I've done worse," he said with his hand in the air.
"What that suppose mean?" Talpidmon asked, not sure to feel offended or confused.
"Look, I just thought you should know that your past doesn't matter," Impmon explained, "All that matters is what you do now, yah dig?".
"Huh, how you know?" Talpidmon asked.
"Let's just say I haven't had the best track record, if you can believe it," Impmon said as he looked away, seeming like he regretted something pretty dark, "I had to do a lot to make up for the past, it ain't easy, but you can eventually move on,"
Talpidmon was quiet thinking deeply on the imp's words.
"I'll leave with that, later," Impmon then left the alleyway.
Talpidmon then thought about this. While he had done a lot of bad, he did do some good in the recent days since his purification. So maybe, he could still be a good Digimon after all?
Suddenly a loud explosion came from the elsewhere in the festival.
"What that!?" Talpidmon asked.
A few moments later,
"Run for your data!" Digimon screamed as they ran away.
Talpidmon had just come to where he encountered the KaratsukiNumemon and saw a dust cloud covering the area.
"What happen here?" Talpidmon asked, before being answered by the sound of cyber dinosaur roar.
Then a silhouette of a T-rex appeared in the smoke.
"Filth destroy!" a cyborg voice shouted, "Nuclear Laser!".
A laser then shot out of the dust, destroying a nearby booth.
The cloud then disappeared to reveal a large Digimon that looked like a silver T-rex with cyborg attachments with blue and red wires.
"Exterminate!" it said.
"MetalTyrannomon's reinforced body deflects all attacks. His attacks are Giga Cannon II and Nuclear Laser".
Well had to get that name in somehow.
The MetalTyrannomon then cornered the KaratsukiNumemon group.
"Please spare us," one of them said, "We haven't done anything wrong,".
"Negative," the dinosaur said, "You are guilty of imprisoning heroes, and using unsightly substances as attacks,".
"It was an honesty misunderstanding," the elder pleaded.
"Silence filth, your excuses do not compute!" it shouted before pointing its arm at the snail Digimon, "Your kind is a threat to the progression of the saving of our world, therefore you must be removed!".
Talpidmon saw this, felt strange.
"We're sorry," many of them cried.
"Oh no, now we'll end up like our home!" the elder said with fear.
Talpidmon knew what he had to do.
"Giga Destroyer II!" the dinosaur then charged up its attack, it then fired a missile from its right arm.
But before the missile hit the slugs.
"Stala-Smite!".
Stalagmites then came out of the ground and knocked the missile away.
"Error, cannot compute failure?" MetalTyrnnomon said.
Talpidmon then popped out of the ground and held his arms out to protect the KaratsukiNumemon.
"You no hurt these Digimon!" he shouted, which surprised the KaratsukiNumemon.
"I can't believe it, a follower of Grumblemon just saved us!" one of them said.
"Talpidmon not follower!" he said, "Talpidmon was Grumblemon!".
This made the KaratsukiNumemon gasp.
"Your the Digimon that destroyed our home?" one of them said,
"Yeah, yeah, me know you hate me for what me did," Talpidmon grumbled, "Me sorry, Talpidmon take it all back if could,".
Just then MetalTyrannomon came and knocked Talpidmon aside with its tail.
"Target acquired," it said, "Preparing to eliminate threat,".
"Boulder Ball!" Talpidmon then covered himself in earth and rolled into the dinosaur.
"Nuclear Laser!" Metaltyrannomon then fired a blue laser from its left arm. It broke through the rock and knocked Talpidmon into a wall.
"But me no care what KaratsukiNumemon think," He groaned, "Me good warrior now, so me must protect every Digimon!".
One of the KaratsukiNumemon was about to attack the Digimon with 'sludge', but was stopped by the elder, "No, can't you see he is trying to save us," he spoke, "Let us not act more foolish than we already have!".
"Stala-Smite!" Talpidmon dug into the ground and shot stalagmites and the dinosaur Digimon.
Unfortunately, the rocks just bounced of MetalTyrannomon's armored scales.
Talpidmon then popped out of the ground, "Huh, why that not work?".
MetalTyrannomon then grabbed the mole with his metal jaw and shook him around violently. Before tossing him into a booth, causing much pain.
Talpidmon struggled to get up, as the cyborg dino approached him.
"You have done much evil, prepare to be exterminated!".
MetalTyrannomon then readied its attack, but then something hit the ultimate level Digimon. It then looked at the attackers, which were the KaratsukiNumemon.
"Leave him alone!" one of them shouted.
"Yeah, we're way worse than him!" another shouted.
"Huh, why you do this?" Talpidmon asked as he looked at those that he thought hated him.
However, they did not have time to answer, because MetalTyrannomon was preparing his attack.
"Preparing extermination of filth!" he then charged up his attack, "Nuclear Laser!".
"No!" Talpidmon then jumped in that way and took the blast.
"Oh no!" the snails cried.
Talpidmon then struggled to get up, his fractal code starting to show.
"Just give it a rest," a KaratsukiNumemon pleaded.
"Please, you've already done enough," another one pleaded.
"We're not worth it!" anther on added.
"Me no care," Talpidmon groaned, before trying to sound heroic, "Even if me never real legendary warrior again, me can at least act like one, hehe,".
However, back at Datamon's place,
Datamon had taken the cartridge from the video game and downloaded something from it onto Tommy's D-tector.
"There, at last my masterpiece is complete," he said, before laughing with joy, "Hahaha, 15 minutes, I almost hope the kid makes it,"
While the robot Digimon fiddled away with the D-tector's, the one that belonged to JP started to glow and flash with the symbol of earth.
"Huh, what's up with this thing now?" Datamon asked, before poking it.
Then after a huge flash, something shot out of the D-tector and flew out of the shop.
"Oh, um, well," Datamon said, feeling a bit worried, "Eh, I'm sure no one will notice, probably,".
Back with Talpidmon,
"Prepare for extermination!" MetalTyrannomon said, before charging its attack.
"Me guess this end," Talpidmon grumbled, "Ugh, why this happen again?!".
"Nuclear la-aaahhhh, error!" the dino cried as it fell back.
"Huh, what happen now?" Talpidmon asked as he got up.
It appeared that MetalTyrannomon had been knocked back by a spirit that looked like blue spiked armor with an orange dwarf hat on it.
"Gr-grumblemon spirit?" he gasped, as the spirit approached him, "It really you?".
Talpidmon could feel that the spirit was trying to tell him something, that he was a true legendary warrior, and that it was time he looked the part.
Talpidmon's face of astonishment then turned to determination. "Let do this!" said as he grabbed his spirit, and became in-golfed in fractal code "Spirit evolution!".
The spirit of earth glowed as Talpidmon then appeared in the same Digivolution state the humans used. His body became shadowed except for his eye that glowed white. Then the parts of his armor appeared around him in their proper place, followed by his orange hat that had a spike ball on the end. The armor then slowly pressed onto the Digimon, before the fractal code dispersed, revealing the warrior of Earth.
He then landed onto the stand and pulled his hammer out of the ground and swung it around a few times before slamming it on the ground.
"Grumblemon!"
And thus, the Legendary Warrior of Earth had returned to his former glory.
"Talpidmon can't believe it, no me not Talpidmon no more, me Grumblemon!" he shouted with joy, "Grumblemon back, Grumblemon back!".
"Scanning, new data must compute!" Metaltyrannomon stated after getting up.
"No time for that scrap heap!" Grumblemon shouted, overjoyed to be himself again, "It time you get put in place pal!" He then pulled out his trusty spiked hammer and jumped in for an attack, "Seismic Sledge!" he then brought the hammer down on the cyborg dinosaur, causing a good bit of damage.
"Error, critical damage!?" it shouted, "Destroy hostile!".
Metaltyrannomon then attacked Grumblemon with a headbutt, knocking him back a little.
"Giga Destroyer II!" it then fired a missile from its right arm.
Grumblemon barely dodged, before MetalTyrannomon's scanners locked onto the goblin and let loose a barrage of, "Nuclear Laser!".
Grumblemon did his best to dodge the blast, but he couldn't escape the lasers.
"Geer," he grumbled in pain as grabbed the ground, but he wasn't finished yet, "Let see you keep up with Jack in The Box!".
The earth warrior then tunneled into the ground. He then popped up behind his foe and smacked him with his hammer.
Metaltyrannomon roared at the impact, before turning to his enemy.
But Grumblemon popped back into the ground and did his tactic again from a different angle.
"Get him Grumblemon!" a KaratsukiNumemon cheered.
"You can do it!" another cheered.
"Wow, I never thought we'd root for Grumblemon?".
The Jack in The Box tactic kept working. This was because MetalTyrannomon's sensors could not keep up with Grumblemon's swift trickiness.
"Error, enemy speed can't be tracked," he said with fluster, "Can't compute, can't compute!".
"Compute this!"
Metaltyrannomon then looked down and Grumblemon then burst out of the ground and shouted, "Seismic Sledge!" before upper cutting the dinosaur with two hammers so hard, that it sent him flying into the sky.
Grumblemon then readied his hammers as the dinosaur fell back down. The earth warrior then hit his foe with the hammers like a baseball bat, sending the cyborg Digimon flying out of town and into the distance.
"I am error!" Metaltyrannomon shouted, before disappearing and leaving a star.
"And stay out!" Grumblemon said, before being surprised by the other Digimon cheering for him, "Huh, what this sound?".
"You've saved us,"
"You're a hero!"
"How can we ever thank you?" the KaratsukiNumemon elder asked.
"Heh, me just doing job as legendary warrior," Grumblemon replied, feeling humble, "But maybe spread word that Grumblemon good guy now be nice,".
"We will oh great earth warrior!".
"Grumblemon, Grumblemon!" the Digimon cheered.
"Heh, me can get used to this," the goblin chuckled
Just then the earth warrior saw Tommy in the distance leaving town.
"Hey, where kid going? He asked, before running after him, "Hehe, me bet friends be surprised that me back to Grumblemon, hehe,".
Though, not to far away, Impmon watched from a far atop a building roof.
"Guess he had it in him after all," he said, before a fox Digimon appeared next to him
"So, why did you help him?" she asked the imp, "I didn't think you'd care about someone you didn't know?".
"Eh, what do you know Renamon," Impmon said, "I just know where he's been, and I just thought I'd point him in the right direction like you did for me, y'know,".
"Hm, you've really grown Impmon," the fox said, seeming impressed.
"Whatever," he replied while looking relaxed.
Meanwhile with Tommy,
The young Digi-destined was running up a snow slope outside of town.
"Oh, I'll never find anything to trade out here," he moaned.
"Finally, we're here," the voice of a bird said.
Then Tommy was face to face with two Toucanmon, one caring some kind of old video camera. They all blinked, before screaming at the sight of each other.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
The Toucanmon quickly ran the other way.
"Wait up!" Tommy said as he ran after them.
"We're not waiting, we're scramming!" the bird brains screamed.
It wasn't long until they had ran a good distance away from the town.
"Stop, I really mean it this time!" Tommy shouted, "When I catch you, I'll put a-"
"You'll never catch us!".
However, the ground beneath the birds then broke, causing them to fall in the cold water. The camera they were caring then dropped in front of Tommy and started filming.
Tommy then picked up the camera, "Is this what you two traded all our D-tectors for isn't it?" he said with anger, "Well I'm taking it!" he then started to leave
"Where are you going, come back!" the Toucanmon said as the struggled not to drown
Tommy then looked back, "I guess I can't leave them like this?".
The birds continued to flail, "Help us!".
"Hm, then again, you did steal our stuff," Tommy said, "So you're just getting what you deserve,".
Tommy then took off.
"Wait, don't go away!" they pleaded.
"Who am I kidding, I can't," Tommy then ran back and put the camera down. He then reached out his hand to the bird, "Here, grab a hold!", he then pulled one out of the water, before going back for the second, "Give me your wing,".
He then pulled the bird out. However, while the boy was down, one of the Toucanmon grabbed the camera,
"Yoink!"
"No!" Tommy said, before one of the birds pushed him in the water.
"Thanks for the help sucker!" the Toucanmon laughed.
"But, I saved your lives," Tommy said as he struggled against the water, "You can't just go,".
"Just watch us!"
The jerk birds then ran away.
"Now I'll never get the D-tectors," Tommy moaned, "Someone help!".
Tommy was about to run out of energy and drown. But then a hammer appeared in front of him.
"Huh?".
"Quick, grab on!" a familiar voice said, which Tommy quickly did.
After coughing some, Tommy saw that the one who saved him was Grumblemon.
"No worry, me got you!" Grumblemon then pulled his hammer upwards, which unfortunately sent Tommy flying, "Huh, oh no!".
"Aaaaaahhh!" Tommy screamed as he flew towards town.
The earth warrior then started running after the flying boy, "Me guess me forget how much strength Grumblemon had, huh?" he said to himself.
However, the earth warrior then sensed something, something he knew very well, something, wooden. "It can't be!", Grumblemon then clenched his fist and started to feel angry.
Not too far away
The Toucanmon had lost sight of the kid.
The kept laughing at the getaway, that is, until something grabbed them from afar.
"Huh, aaaahhhh!" the screamed as they were pulled back, before being tied up, gagged, and stuffed into a sack.
"Gots yous birdbrains now," the wooden captor said, "You know what they say, you gots to bag a bird before thanksgiving dinner can began, right,".
Few miles ahead later,
"Aaaaahhh!" Tommy screamed, before landing in the snow in front of town.
The boy then got up, "Oh great, now I'm seeing things,".
Tommy then walked back to the Festival hanging his head down low.
However, not too far was his friends Takuya, Koji, Bokomon, and Neemon.
"Tommy!" Takuya said as he ran to the kid.
Tommy ran to him and grabbed Takuya in a hug, before sobbing.
"Hey, what's the matter?" he asked, sounding soft and concerned.
Tommy looked at Takuya, he tried to tell him what happened, but was to sadden from his failure that he just kept crying.
"Hey don't worry, it will be okay," Takuya comforted, like a kind big brother.
In a few moments later at Datamon's shop,
"Eeyahh, knock knock!?" Arbormon said as he broke through the door, "It always pays to be polite, right?".
"Check, you were real polite to my door!" Datamon said as he approached the wood warrior, who then dropped a sack in front of him, "Waaah!".
"Aah!" the Toucanmon said as the fell, gagged and tied up, alongside the old camera.
"Yous got something these bird brains traded and I want it," Arbormon explained, before holding his hand out.
Then a clock rang, which got Datamon's attention, "Hm?".
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Arbormon demanded, "Take this thing back and give me the other things!".
"Maybe, but first I have to check out the goods," Datamon explained, before picking up the camera.
"Yeah, well, you better be quick about it, or else," Arbormon said, trying to be patent.
Datamon then looked through the camera and saw Tommy saving the Toucanmon from drowning.
"Huh, aah," he said, the robot Digimon knew what he needed to do, "Sorry buddy, looks like I'm going to have to turn down your generous offer,".
"That's better, what?!" Arbormon said, surprised that things did go how he thought.
"I have another customer," Datamon explained.
"Hand them over or you'll never have another customer!" Arbormon said as he clenched his fist, "My buddy is gone because of those things and I will avenge him, right!" Arbormon was then surrounded by fractal code, "Arbormon slide evolution!".
The wooden robot then transformed into the grassy flower crested lizard, "Petaldramon!".
Not too far away,
Tommy and the others that met up with him were had just gotten into town when.
"Leaf Cyclone!"
A huge explosion then came from Datamon's shop.
This alerted the heroes who quickly ran towards the wrecked real-estate.
"That's it, no one messes with my store!" Datamon shouted, "Nano Swarm!" he then shot tons of tiny grinning missiles out of his wiry fingers, that flew towards and exploded on Petaldramon. Datamon snickered at this, only to soon find his foe snickering at him, "Huh?"
Petaldramon then stood on his hind legs and danced back and forth, "Leaf Cyclone!" his red leaf main then spun like a fan before he shot two leaf covered tornados at Datamon, knocking him it what was left of a wall.
The Digi-destined than made it to the scene.
"Whoa," Takuya gasped.
"Petaldramon!" Koji said.
The giant lizard then turned towards the two boys, who had picked up a metal pipe and wooden stick to fight with.
"Oho, this should be good!" he said.
Tommy Bokomon and Neemon tried to go help Datamon, but they could not get past the leafy lizard.
Takuya tried to whack the lizard, but it was not very effected.
"Take that!" Koji then tried to use his wooden stick.
But Petaldramon just ate it, "Mhhmm, om-nom-nom, hey thanks for the snack," the wood beast said, much to Koji's dismay, "I wonder how the rest of yous taste?".
The lizard then licked his bark lips, making the two boys' step back in fear. Petaldramon then went in for the bite.
"Oh no, look out guys!" Tommy cried.
But before the two heroes could become lunch, someone grabbed them and pulled them into the ground.
"Huh, where'd you twos go?" Petaldramon asked as he looked around after he chomped nothingness, feeling confused.
"W-what happened?" Tommy asked sounding worried.
"Um how, what?" Bokomon stuttered, "W-w-where could they have gone!?".
"Oh, they gone right behind us," Neemon pointed out.
The other two then noticed and jumped a little.
"Takuya, Koji, you're okay!" Tommy said with joy.
"How did you do that?" Bokomon asked as he did a double-take.
"I don't think it was us?" Koji said, feeling unsure as he scratched his head.
"Wait, I think I know who it was!" Tommy said, remebering who saved him earlyer.
"Huh, what'ch yous guys talking about?" Petaldramon asked.
Suddenly, a Digimon sprang out of the ground behind the lizard and pulled out a hammer.
"Is that?" Takuya said in shock.
"No it can't be!?" Koji said in astonishment.
"It is!" Tommy cheered.
But before Petaldramon could react.
"Seismic Sledge!" the spiked hammer of Grumblemon then slammed onto the back of the lizard.
"Yow, what the heck!?" Petaldramon said, before turning around and feeling shocked, "Grumblemon, is that you?".
The earth warrior then landed on the ground in front of the lizard and nodded, with a scowl on his face.
"Y-your okay, that's great," Petaldramon said with joy, "Now let's get to beating this brats, right," He then looked at the humans, preparing for the next attack.
"No!" Grumblemon shouted after jumping in front of the wood beast, "Petaldramon no hurt humans!".
"What the heck yous doing," the wood beast asked, "Was this about me eating the last burger the other night?".
"Me no work with you evil warrior no more," Grumblemon explained seeming mad, "Me work with good warriors now!".
"Whaaaat!?" Petaldramon said sounding dumbfounded, "Whats is wrong with ya pal?".
"Evil warriors kick Grumblemon out when Grumblemon loose spirits," he explained, still rather angry, "Human warriors forgive Grumblemon, me know who real friends are now!".
"Wait, just give me a sec," Petaldramon tried to say, but Grumblemon was tired of listening to his former partner and smacked him in the face with his hammer, "Ger, fine, if that's how it's going to be,".
The lizard then shot out his tongue and grabbed the earth warrior. He then slammed the goblin into the ground with great force.
"Hurry we need to help Grumblemon!" Takuya said, before feeling weird about saying, "Wow, never thought I'd say that?".
"I know what you mean," Koji agreed, before he and Takuya grabbed some broken pieces of the shop to use as weapons.
Meanwhile Tommy Bokomon and Neemon then ran to help Datamon up.
"Oh my," Bokomon said.
"Hey, are you all right Datamon?" Tommy asked as helped the robotic Digimon
"Yeah, I'm fine," Datamon said as he looked at Tommy, "Oh it's you,".
Tommy then looked sad, "I couldn't find anything to trade," he said as he started to sob, "And I tried so hard," the tears started to form.
Datamon then lifted the boys head comforting him, "Heh, you did just fine kid,".
Tommy felt a bit confused.
"You ever hear the expression that truth is the greatest treasure?" Datamon asked.
"No," Tommy replied.
Takuya and Koji then beat Petaldramon, which made him let go of Grumblemon. The earth warrior then tried to use his hammer, but the wood beast just slapped him aside with his tails.
"Go on, take it," Datamon then held out Tommy's D-tector.
Tommy didn't know how to feel.
"You know, at first, I thought you were making up stories because you wanted things so badly," Datamon explained, "But you truly deserve to have them,".
Tommy nodded with a smile, before taking the D-tector, "Thanks, Datamon,".
"But, uh, don't tell anyone I've gone soft, okay?" Datamon mumbled.
However, Tommy felt like his D-tector was a bit heavier. He then shook it a bit to see if something had changed.
Datamon then laughed, "It's not broken," he explained, before waving his finger, "But I did add something,".
"Like what?" Tommy asked.
"What you won in the game," Datamon explained, "It's really yours after all,".
Tommy then looked at the D-tector and saw what looked like a harry snowball with a buff chest, round horns, grey intense eyes, and spears coming from the back like hair. It then switched to the symbol of ice and back, which made Tommy know what this meant.
"My beast spirit!" he said with joy, "You are awesome Datamon!".
The robot just let out a soft chuckled with delight.
Meanwhile, Takuya and Koji went running at Petaldramon with full force. But they were quickly knocked aside.
"Know lets try this again," Petaldramon then roared as he went in for the kill.
Grumblemon jumped in and tried to hold back the lizard, but he couldn't do it for long.
But Tommy had enough of this and activated his transformation.
"Execute!" he said as he slid the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Beast spirit evolution!".
The ice spirit then roared as the spear locks flowed in the wind as the armor of the ice beast appeared around the boy.
The transformation was complete, then the yeti like creature landed alongside his twin axes, he then picked them up and swung them around.
"Korikakumon!"
Petaldramon was about to munch on his foes, when he felt someone grab his tails. He then turned around to see the large, fury, spear dread locked, beast of ice.
"Korikakumon, Legendary Beast Warrior of Ice!" Bokomon gasped.
"So it really is true, humans have the power to turn into Digimon!" Datamon said, feeling just as surprised.
Petaldramon then started turning around to confront his new foe but was soon punched in his wooden face by the blizzard beast.
He growled and groaned as he hit the ground.
Korikakumon then closed his hands and started praying?
"Tommy, what in the world are you doing?" Bokomon asked, "This no time for reflection!".
"Behind you look out!" Datamon yelled.
Petaldramon then tackled the ice beast with great force.
"Oh, that's going to leave a mark," Bokomon said with his hands on his head.
Petaldramon was now on top of Korikakumon and,
Ugh, that name is so hard to pronounce and makes little sense without looking it up. Can we just call him by his Japanese name Blizzardmon? Okay, cool.
Blizzardmon then got up and forced the lizard of him.
"Waauuu, oofm!" Petaldramon yelled as he hit the ground.
"Avalanche Axes!" Blizzardmon then called his axes, that hit the ground with a loud clang.
The ice beast then grabbed the axes and closed his eyes to focused. He quickly opened them and disappeared, much to the confusion of his nature covered foe.
Blizzardmon then reappeared in sky, which freaked out Petaldramon, and started slashing the wood beast like crazy. This knocked the lizard a good distance away.
Blizzardmon then started dancing with stomps as waving his axes in the air, "Ahahahahaha!" he laughed.
His friends however, seemed fairly confused.
"There's something you don't see every day," Koji said.
"He can't control his spirit," Takuya said seeming surprised, "He sure looks silly doesn't he?".
"Not as silly as you looked trying to beat up your friends, Mr. 'pot calling the kettle black'!" Bokomon pointed out.
"Tommy not lose control, he just having fun with beast spirit," Grumblemon grinned with his eyes closed.
But at this point it had dawned on the others that Grumblemon was with them.
"Wait, how did you get your spirit back?" Koji asked skeptically.
"It just come to me, when Talpidmon defend KaratsukiNumemon," he explained, before something accrued to him when Petaldramon got on his front legs like he was doing a handstand, so to speak, "Urm, me think not best time to explain,".
Petaldramon then started swinging lower half back and forth, "Boy are you going to regret that!" he yelled, angry about the cuts on his face. He then jabbed his two root tails into the ground, "Thorn Jab!".
Suddenly, many roots spiked out of the ground and attacked Blizzardmon.
"Here catch, help out your friend guys!" Datamon said before tossing Takuya and Koji's D-tectors to them.
The two boys caught them before looking at each other and nodding.
The spirit of fire then glowed, "Execute!" Takuya said as he slid the fractal code across the D-tector, "Spirit evolution!"
The fiery armor then formed around the boy, transforming him into,
"Agunimon!".
The spirit of light then glowed, "Execute!" Koji said as he slid the fractal code across the D-tector, "Spirit evolution!".
The light armor then formed around the boy, transforming him into,
"Lobomon!".
"How about we heat things up a little?" Agunimon then threw firing at his foe.
Lobomon then drew his light staffs and unleashed his attack, "Lobo Kendo!".
Grumblemon then slammed the ground with his hammer sending a rock wave at the vines.
The attacks burned and sliced away the roots that held Blizzardmon, freeing the ice beast.
Blizzardmon then charged into the wood beast and soon ended up pushing Petaldramon out of town.
The lizard was then flung onto the snow. He then tried to get up, but before he could, Grumblemon popped out of the snowy ground.
"Seismic Sledge!" he then slammed his hammer on his former comrade, "That teach you not abandon friend!".
"Oww, Grumblemon, why?" Petaldramon asked, almost crying from the pain.
"You know exactly why!" Grumblemon shouted, with a bit of a tear in his eye, before jumping aside.
"And now, Frozen Arrowheads!" Blizzardmon shouted, before the arrows on his long white dreadlocks glowed blue.
The locks then lunged at the lizard and sent him flying into the sunset.
"OOOOOOAAAAAWWW!" Petaldramon screamed, "Oaw, I'll be back, not even you will escape my wrath Grumblemon!".
He then slid away until he was no longer in site.
"That show you!" Grumblemon shouted while holding his arm in the air victoriously.
Blizzardmon then started to pray again.
Grumblemon then looked at him in confusion, "Huh, what you doing now snow boy?".
However, not too far away,
The Toucanmon had gotten knocked far out of town after the Petaldramon attack.
"Aw great, now we have nothing," one of them said, "And its all your fault!"
"What, it was your idea to get the camera!" the other shouted.
"Was not,"
"Was to,"
"Was not,"
"Was to!"
They argued.
However, this got they attention of a Digimon that was in the snow. The metal dinosaur then rose up from the snow and shook of the snow, before looked mad.
"Filth detected!" Metaltyrannomon said as his eyes glowed.
"Huh?" the birds asked.
"Exterminate filth!" the dino shouted as he reared his fangs.
"Whhhaaaaaahhhh!" the Toucanmon screamed.
The birds were then being chased by Metaltyrannomon into the sunset.
A few moments later, outside of town with the heroes of this story,
The Digi-destined had regrouped outside of town.
"Molto bene!" Zoe said with an Italian accent.
"I'm just glad I didn't hurt you guys when I got my beast spirit," Tommy said.
"Why does everyone have to bring that up?" Takuya asked.
"Now you know how Grumblemon feel," The Earth warrior said.
"I still can't believe your spirit just came to you," JP said, "And I was looking forward to giving it back,".
"Or that you helped those KaratsukiNumemon that hated you," Zoe added, "That was really heroic of you,".
"What can me say, Grumbelmon new Digimon that fight for good," he said proudly, "By way, can me have beast spirit now?".
"Not so fast, we don't trust you 100% just yet," Takuya said, since he was the one who had the spirit, "Your going to have to earn it back,".
"Oh come on!" the earth warrior shouted, which made them stare at him, forcing him to behave, "Ger, fine, Grumblemon understand,".
"I thought it was because you didn't know how to get the beast spirit out of the D-tector?" Neemon asked, which made Grumblemon give Takuya a look which made him laugh sheepishly.
"Digi-destined," a voice of a women came from there D-tector's.
"Huh, Ophanimon?" Takuya said as he checked the device.
Ophanimon was the celestial Digimon that had originally called the humans to the digital world to stop the evil fallen celestial Digimon, Cherubimon.
"Seraphimon turned into a Digi-egg," Zoe explained.
"Yes, I know," Ophanimon replied, which made Grumblemon nervous.
"Erm, me not do it, it was Mercurymon!" the Earth warrior gulped.
"Oh yeah, and Grumblemon joined us as a good warrior," Tommy explained.
"That I did not know," the voice of the celestial Digimon said, "But it's good that you have persuaded one of Cherubimon's warriors to the side of good,".
"Um, yeah, persuaded, that's what we did," JP said sheepishly.
"Yeah, persuade with giant bug cannon they did," Grumblemon grumbled.
"So what are we supposed to do about Seraphimon now?" Koji asked.
"Before I tell you, you must know that this is a crucial point," the voice explained sounding serious, "You can stop now, or face the dangerous road ahead, will you accept the risk?".
The humans nodded with a "Hm-mm," in agreement.
"You better believe we will," Takuya said.
"You must be certain, all or you," Ophanimon explained, still serious,
"I don't think I've ever been more certain of anything in my life" Zoe said sternly.
"Me either," JP said, just as serious.
"Yeah," Tommy said.
"Me got nowhere better to go," Grumblemon added, sounding not quite as serious.
"Neither do I!" Neemon added.
"So what do we do now Ophanimon?" Koji asked.
"Head for the Rose Morning Star, and then-," the voice then cut off into static.
"What did you say?" Koji asked sounding worried, "Ophanimon!".
Everyone then looked at each other.
"What is a Rose Morning Star?" Neemon asked.
"Oh, me know, that where Grumblemon and other evil warriors take Ophanimon to be imprisoned!" he explained, which got the attention of the others.
"Then you know where it is!?" Koji asked.
"Erm, well, me kind of forget," the earth warrior sheepishly said, which got him some looks from the others, "Oh come on, it first mission Grumblemon go on!" he shouted, "It very boring, how me supposed to remember exact location!?".
Just then a red light shined not too far away.
"You don't have to, its right there!" Bokomon pointed out.
Everyone gasped at its magnificent's.
"A star how are we supposed to get there?" JP asked.
"We're not going to the star," Bokomon explained, "We're going to what's beneath it,".
"Hey, that just what Mercurymon say back when," Grumblemon added.
"All that way?" JP moaned.
Everyone then sighed.
"It looks pretty far," Takuya said with his hand on his hat, before looking at Bokomon, "We have to walk there?".
Everyone sighed again. But then Zoe remembered something.
"Oh, Presto!" she said as she pulled out some train tickets.
"What are those?" Takuya asked.
"These are Trailmon tickets," Zoe explained, "Earlier me and JP were at an eating contest, and I won!".
"That what humans doing during Petaldramon attack?" Grumblemon asked, "Hmph, lucky,".
"Well this is grand prize for scarfing 30 plates of that horrible food in an hour," Zoe explained before closing her eyes proudly, "Do I rock or what?".
Everyone then cheered.
"Well then come on guys, let's head for that star!" Takuya said with determination.
"Yeah!" everyone said with their hands in the air.
It wasn't long until everyone was riding on a black train with three yellow horns and one green eye known as a Trailmon Buffalo.
Narrator Rika: For once, things seem to be going OK. Which is usually when everything falls apart. Find out if they can keep it together with the new strength Grumblemon and Blizzardmon on the next Digimon Frontier,
