In the night sky of the digital world, dark clouds drifted away to show the three moons of red blue and yellow in the starry sky. Then the one to witness this was no other than Petaldramon, the beast spirit of wood that stood atop a cliff. Arbormon had decided to assume this form to blow of some steam after the recent events.
"Every time the three moons align in the sky, I am reminded of only one thing, Hamburgers!" Petaldramon said, before looking upon a village that looked a little like an old western town, "I gotta eat right now, right?!".
It wasn't long until a window of a burger shop in the town was broken, alongside a sign, by the invisible minions of Petaldramon. The destroyers laughed as they revealed themselves as large green lizards with many orange stripes that wore army gear.
Chamelemon, with their specialized skin, they can appear to disappear and a tongue lashing from one you'll never forget.
Small pale Digimon that whore hamburger bun hats ran in fear with their plates of burgers as the creepy chameleons stalked them.
Meanwhile, inside of the restaurant, the leader of the Digimon, who wore a blue chef outfit and had jagged blond hair with a mustache, walked out with a tray of many burgers. "Wish me luck dear," he said to his concerned wife, that whore a purple apron and small kids that looked like round flying brown chicks, as he walked out to meet the large leafy lizard.
Petaldramon was now in town and had met with the elder.
"Oh great wood one, I bring you the finest burgers, crafted by my own humble hands," he calmly said as he offered up the burgers.
The wood's beast brown tongue then wrapped around the burgers, before retracting back into the mouth with a hearty chomp, "Now that is a thing of beauty!".
"Come on Burger boy!" one of the Chamelemon said as he picked up the chef with its tail, before the lizards started to leave for their lair.
"You're coming to my place to make enough to fill me up, and I got a big appetite!" Petaldramon explained as he and his minions left.
"Honey bun!" the chef's wife cried, with her children feeling just as sad.
"Daddy!" they cried.
"You want him back, you gotta make an even better burger before the moons align tomorrow!" Petaldramon explained, "Until then, chow!"
The poor wife just fainted, thankfully being caught by her kids.
"See, I don't need Grumblemon too be happy, right," Petaldramon told himself, though it's hard to say if he believed that.
"You say something sir?" A Chamelemon asked.
"Huh, yeah I'm fine, who said I wasn't?" the larger lizard replied, seeming ticked off, "I got all those burgers to keep me happy, right?!"
The clouds then covered the moons as the lizards left, leaving the much worry with the chef.
The next day,
"Ah yeah!" Trailmon Worm cheered as chugged by the leafless trees, on his way to the village of burgers.
"So what's the story on this Hamburger Village?" Takuya asked from in the passenger car.
"It's a hamburger lovers paradise my boy," Bokomon explained.
"Sounds great!" Zoe cheered.
"Bring on the beef baby!" Takuya added.
"Yeah, I'm gonna eat my body weight, maybe even all of ours, in burgers!" JP said, before fantasizing about the food.
Grumblemon however, was not thinking burgers but about his former friend.
"Arbormon, me still want be friends, but we enemies now, so how friendship still be strong?" he thought as he looked out the window, "Grumblemon want to take it back, but Grumblemon good warrior now, so me can't turn on new friends, not again at least,".
Grumblemon then thought about what Scutlemon had said, that if they were as close as brothers than fixing their friendship would be no problem. But Grumblemon didn't know how to do that?
However, the train soon stopped, slightly surprising the earth warrior a bit.
"Oh cool, where here," Tommy said, before the others began to leave.
"Huh, oh right, time go," Grumblemon said before joining them. At this point he figured not to dwell on the wood warrior right now. Instead he should focus on more obtainable goals, like earning his beast spirit back.
After leaving the station, the heroes went into the town that was very damaged and broken, and the dust storm wasn't helping things, but thankfully it soon let up. Soon the heroes saw a Digimon lying at a table, with smaller Digimon moaning.
"What's up with them?" Takuya asked after lifting up his goggles.
"What Digimon are those?" Tommy asked.
"Oh, well they are called Burgermon, and the smaller rounder ones are TorikaraBallmon," Bokomon explained.
TorikaraBallmon, are you kidding me!? Again, with the long names, why? Ugh, the last one was bad enough, now this?! Oh well, this isn't Burger King, so to speak.
"Um, excuses me are you alright?" Zoe calmly asked as she ran up them.
"Oh no dear, a giant Digimon raided our village," the female Digimon explained, still having tears in her eyes, "He said something about the three moons making him hungry, so my husband gave him a big plate of our best burgers,".
"Now I'm hungry," Takuya moaned.
"Three moons, now where me hear that before?" Grumblemon said as he scratched his chin.
"He liked them so much that he took my husband away to cook for him in his mansion," the Digimon explained.
"Wow," Tommy said calmly with concern.
"Man, that's really messed up," Koji added.
"Yeah, how are we supposed to get our hamburgers now!?" JP shouted.
"Your compassion is astounding," Bokomon said with sarcasm.
Grumblemon then jumped up and gave JP a bonk on the head,
"Ow, Hey!" JP said in pain.
"Pay attention to problem now, not JP's stomach!" Grumblemon scolded.
"Daddy is coming back, isn't he momma?" one of the chicken nugget Digimon asked.
"Isn't he momma?" the other kids asked with worry.
"Please young man, would you and your friends be able to help me find my husband?" The Burgermon wife asked as she stood up.
"I suppose, but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for him," Takuya said with concern.
"The monster will bring daddy back if we make a bigger burger," A TorikaraBallmon said as he flew next to the boy.
"He means a better burger, but I'm afraid that's impossible," Burgermon Wife explained "My husband makes the best burgers around, there's no way anyone could make a better hamburger than my husband," she moaned, "Oh dear, what are we going to do?".
"The monster said that to get daddy back, we have to have the bigger burger ready before he moves three times," one of the burger kids said.
"No silly, he said before the three moons align," another one correct.
"That's soon," another nugget added.
"He's right, we must do something, the three moons will align by nightfall, and the Chamelemon will be back for their master's burger,".
"Then it's up to us, we can make a better burger!" Zoe said, taking charge, which confused the others, "Come on, I think we've scarfed enough burgers in our time to be able to come up with something that at least looks right and when the Chamelemon take it the mansion, we'll follow them,".
"Nice plan, except that I've never cooked before," Koji complained
"Me either, but I'm willing to try," Takuya said.
"Me too," Tommy added, "Hey, I always used to watch my mom cook back home," he then bent over to talk to the TorikaraBallmon "We'll make the best hamburger ever and get your daddy back,".
"Grumblemon not cook before, but Grumblemon make a few potions,".
"I think this'll be a good experience for us," Zoe said.
"Anything with food is a good experience for me," JP said eagerly.
"Yeah, especially when it's burgers," Tommy added, which made the birds cheer.
"I don't even know what's in them," Takuya said, "I guess I'll have to make it up,".
"That's the whole idea," Tommy explained, "We can each make one and have judges taste them,".
"Takuya, this will be a friendly competition, right?" Zoe asked.
"You worry too much Zoe," Takuya said.
"Yeah no problem," Koji said with a smile.
Zoe then turned to the food Digimon, "We may be a little rough, but we're ready,".
"Yay!" the TorikaraBallmon.
"Oh, thank you so much," Burgermon Wife thanked with a bow.
"Why don't I be your taster?" Bokomon suggested, "It would be an honor to lend my superior palette to such a noble cause, so bring on the beef baby!".
"That just means you wanna eat!" Neemon pointed out, which made the others laugh.
"My kitchen is fully stocked, so help yourself to anything you need," Burgermon Wife explained, "Now let's get cooking!".
"Yeah!" everyone cheered with arms in the air.
Meanwhile, deep in the nearby forest,
Past a large gate was a large mansion that looked like a Japanese castle covered in moss and grass. This was the lair of the giant leafy lizard Petaldramon.
"I'm getting real hungry here!" the wood beast shouted, "What's taking so long, where's my burgers, right?!".
The chef of the burgers was locked in a dungeon that had a kitchen in it, with a Chamelemon guarding him.
"The master's getting impatient Burgermon!" the reptile said, "He's been really cranky lately and needs drown his pain in burgers!".
"I'm making them as fast as I can," the chef said while placing a large patty on a pan, "If you expect a gourmet burger, it takes time!".
"Well you don't have time, so deal with it!" Chamelemon shouted, before looking to where its master was, "Argh, whyed that stupid gnome have to go and do this to yah boss,".
Back at the Burgermon village,
The heroes had just gotten some aprons on and put their D-tectors to the side before going into the kitchen and saw a plethora of food.
"Oh man," JP said, now in a big white apron, stunned at all the grub, "I'm ready to chow right now!" he then grabbed an apple like fruit and took a bite.
"Hey, save some ingredients for cooking," Zoe moaned, now wearing an orange apron.
"Yes ma'am," JP happily said, with a food in his mouth.
"All this food is making me drool!" Neemon said.
"Yes, but must do it on me?" Bokomon moaned.
"It looks like some of them have never even seen a kitchen before?" one of the TorikaraBallmon said.
Koji had gotten a plate of seafood and squids, while Takuya was still deciding, while wearing a light green apron.
"Hm, I suppose you can never have much meat?" he said, next to a table with a lot of meat.
"Hey Z, what kind are you gonna make?" JP asked.
"Patience is a virtue, you'll see," Zoe said while carrying a plate of vegetables and fruits.
"Smart, beautiful, and confident in the kitchen, can a girl get any better than that?" JP said as he held the apple against his face.
"All right, meaty meat burger," Takuya said, before going to grab a lot of meat and onions, "Some of this, and maybe some of that, and I'm going to make me a masterpiece!" he said with excitement, before then heading back to his table while chanting, "Meat, meat, meat, meat, meat!".
"That might work?" one of the TorikaraBallmon said as two of them flew down.
Meanwhile Grumblemon was gathering up all sorts of things, some of which wasn't even food.
"Haha, yes these be perfect for potion to summon new Golemon friends," he said while wearing a yellow apron and a chef hat on his dwarf hat. He then scurried off to find a pot to start brewing.
"What kind of Burger is a Golemon?" one of the TorikaraBallmon said, before one of them noticed Tommy wearing a ice blue apron, looked a bit confused with the two buns in his hands, "You look lost,".
"You need help?" another on said as it flew closer like the first one.
"Well, the outside looks fine, but I'm not sure what to put in the middle yet," Tommy said, much to the dismay of the nugget birds, "I'm thinking ground beef," he then remembered something, "Oh, yeah, now I remember, Mom says onions always give it flavor,". Tommy then picked up an onion and started to peel it, which unfortunate made his eyes water "Oh boy, here comes the tears,".
This made the TorikaraBallmon slowly fly away.
But then when the boy finished, the onion was in pieces now, "It all came apart, and there's nothing inside,".
"That is the inside!" TorikaraBallmon shouted.
The two chicken nugget birds then hugged each other and started crying "We'll never see Daddy again, whaaaah!".
"Never fear, the blade is here!" Shouted as he held up a cooking knife ready to chop.
"Aahh!" the birds screamed before dashing away, likely getting the wrong idea from a skeleton or a goat.
Tommy then started to chop the onion peels, which unfortunately lead to more tears.
"My children can't stop crying," Burgermon Mother said to the boy.
"Yeah, neither can I," Tommy said, "Cooking's painful,".
JP was busy frying some meat in a pan, "Oh yeah, oh yeah,"
Takuya was also busy molding the patties, "Yah, wiyah, ayo!" he shouted like he was doing karate, "Easy as pie!" though he did nearly drop some.
Meanwhile Koji was laughing as he held a squid, before discovering how to get to then brown innards.
"Huh, why me feel like Ranamon's shivering somewhere?" Grumblemon said, before a puff of smoke from his brew caught his attention that made the hat on his hat jump, "Golemon potion almost ready!" he then poured the pink substance into the bottle he had with him and looked at it with excitement, "Just need few minutes to sit, then heroes can meet more Golemon, only this time they all be friends!".
"Um, you do know we're supposed to be making burgers, right Grumblemon?" Zoe asked the goblin.
"Huh?" Grumblemon then looked back and forth frantically, "Oh no, Grumblemon forgot about contest!".
Meanwhile, Tommy was walking by JP with his bowl of onions, that were making it hard for the young boy to see, "My eyes hurt," he moaned. But as Tommy tried to rub his eyes, he accidentally dropped the onions into JP pot of eggs.
"Huh, aw man, not my boiled eggs!" he moaned.
"I'm so sorry!" Tommy said as he tried to get the bowl of onions washed off. But sadly, he soon stumbled and then spilled the onion grounds into Zoe's bowl of dressing.
"Tommy that was my salad dressing!" the girl moaned.
"Do you know what you're doing?" one of the TorikaraBallmon asked.
"Pretty klutzy," another added.
"Aw, I don't know if I can use this now," Tommy said as he picked up the bowl. But then he decided to try some of boiled egg, dressing covered, onion grounds, and was a bit surprised. "Hey it's pretty good,"
"Whoa Tommy, you invented a new flavor!" one of the TorikaraBallmon said with joy.
"What was in that dressing? Tommy asked.
"I don't know, but it sure made a difference,".
"I'll just fry the ground beef and put this stuff on top!" Tommy devised.
Well the humans were starting to finish up their burgers, Grumblemon was struggling to find something to work with. He eventually just grabbed the best thing he could think of and called it a day.
A few moments later,
The burgers had been presented on the counter and with TorikaraBallmon looking over them, before the large amounts of each burger about to be judged by Bokomon and Neemon.
"So you think their edible?" one of the TorikaraBallmon asked.
"I'm not gonna try it, you try it," another on said.
"I'm not gonna try it, let them,".
JP was the first to present his burger, which he held high, "Meatloaf and yakisoba noodles!" he announced before describing the noodlely burger, "Ladies and gentlemen, an exotic combination for a new generation!".
The burger was soon tried and had a good reaction.
"Well JP I'm surprised, it's actually edible," Bokomon said.
"Here, try my burger Italiano," Zoe offered, before explaining the ingredients, "Cheese, tomato sauce, and lots of fresh chopped mushrooms,".
Neemon then stuffed three into his mouth, "Mhm, taste like chicken!".
But then they came to Grumblemon's burgers, which were, eh, was not really food.
"Uhm Grumblemon, these are just rocks that are stacked and shaped to look like burgers," Bokomon pointed up.
"Yeah, so,"
Neemon then tried to bite one, only to be surprised by the hardness, "Ooh, taste like rocks too," he then fainted.
"So it's not really food!" Bokomon ranted.
"Well, that because Grumblemon more focused on finishing Golemon potion to help friends later!" he shouted, before looking smug, "Me bet that good enough to earn beast spirit, huh?".
"No quiet Grumble," Takuya said, much to the dismay of the troll.
Speaking of Takuya, it was time to judge his burgers which had more types of meat then it should have. Then when they looked at Koji's it wasn't much better since it was very, fishy.
"Are those supposed to be hamburgers?" Bokomon asked nervously.
"I think I saw one move," Neemon said with fear.
"Are you going to take a bite?" Bokomon asked his pal.
"If they don't bite first," Neemon replied.
"Mine's a meaty meat burger, steak, pork cutlets, and ground beef," Takuya explained proudly, "I was going for volume,".
"My seafood burger has lobster, scallop, and shrimp," Koji explained, just as proud.
Bokomon then took a bite of Takuya's burger and Neemon from Koji's. Unfortunately, this is when the boys decided to point out their 'secret' ingredient.
"And I topped it all off with some sardines and peanut butter,".
"My special sauce is made with pureed squid and white chocolate,"
"Ack, Disgusting!" the too Digimon then fainted from the horrid taste with their blackened lips.
The boys didn't want to believe their food was bad, so they decided to try their burgers. After a bite of their own burgers, the boys fed the other their burger, only to feel worse.
"Hhahaah!" Grumblemon laughed.
"Oh yeah!" Koji then shoved on of his fishy burgers into the earth warrior's mouth.
"Blaaeh, it tastes like Ranamon!" he moaned.
"How do you even know that?" JP asked, sound concerned, which made Grumblemon flinch.
"JP ask to much," he stated.
After that disasters dining, it was time to try Tommy's burgers.
"Interesting, is this one yours Tommy?" Neemon asked as he looked under the bun to see the dressing and onions.
"Why, does it look bad?" Tommy asked with worry.
"No, we just need a break after the last one," Bokomon calming explained.
"Or get our stomachs pumped," Neemon added.
"Would you like some fresh tea?" Burgermon Mother offered as she walked in.
"Yeah," Tommy nodded.
"Why don't we all take a short break," the female Digimon suggested, "I'll bring your drinks outside for you in a minute,".
"These smell good, Tommy," Zoe said nicely, before picking up the tray "Let's give 'em a try,".
She then walked outside with the burgers, with Tommy, JP, and the flock of TorikaraBallmon.
"Hey Zoe, I'll taste them too!" JP said eagerly as he followed.
"It wasn't really that bad," Takuya and Koji complained, "Mine was better," this surprised to, who then started arguing, before heading off to try to make better burgers, much to the dismay of the Digimon.
Grumblemon then quickly darted off, hoping to avoid more of the boy's horrid concoctions,
Meanwhile outside,
The kids had gone out to one of the tables to try the food. Though Grumblemon didn't seem interested.
"Where you going Grumblemon?" JP asked.
"Don't you want some of the burgers?" Zoe asked.
"Me no want take more chance with food today, sorry, maybe other time," the Digimon explained, before hearing what was going on back in the kitchen.
"Aw come on, not a single ghost pepper?" Takuya said.
"Does tomato count as fruit?" Koji also said, "Oh well, this garlic sauce will do,".
This only made the goblin even more worried, "Gah, but Grumblemon not wait to find out today!" he then dug into the ground to hide.
"Oh well, more for us," Tommy said.
But before the kids could eat the hopefully good burgers, a dust storm began to blow through the town. This also blew away the clouds, showing the three colored moons aligned.
"The three moons are all together again!" on of the TorikaraBallmon cried.
The birds them flew by crying "Momma!" for they knew what was approaching the town, "The Chamelemon are coming!".
Then in mere seconds, the army clad lizards entered the town.
"Times up kiddies, the master's very hungry!" one of the lizards said as the squad approached the children, "I hope for your sake, you've built a better burger," then as the dust storm cleared the Chamelemon saw the burgers on the table, "Ooh, what's this?" he then grabbed all the burgers with his long tongue and chomped them down, " Ah, umr, nom, ah, delicious, impressive, the master will be pleases,".
"That's great, so when does the Burgermon get to come home?" Zoe asked, before being grabbing by the Chamelemon's tail, "Wha, hey wait a minute, what do you think you're doing?!".
"Never mind what we're doing," the lizard snickered, "You're going to be making more of those hamburgers at the master's mansion,".
One of the other lizards then grabbed Tommy with its tail, while another did the same to JP.
"Let us go you big bullies!" Tommy squirmed.
"Yeah!" JP added, as the Chamelemon left town with them.
While this happened, the TorikaraBallmon watched from behind a table, "What do we do?" one asked.
"We have to follow them. Tommy needs our help," another said, before they started to follow the lizards.
Just then, the Burgermon Mother had just come out to give the heroes some drinks, "Tea time," but then she dropped the tray in shock as she saw everyone leaving "Huh, wait, where are you going, my babies!" she then began to faint from the drama, "I can't take much more of this,".
Meanwhile, further up a head,
The Chamelemon had walked a good distance and had been 'nice' enough to let the kids walk.
"Move it!" one of the lizards commanded.
"This is as fast as I ever move," JP complained.
"Quiet!" the lizard shouted.
"Zoe, maybe we spirit evolve-," JP tried to say, before the girl stopped him.
"No, not yet, if we follow along, they'll lead us to the mansion," Zoe whispered "For now we just have to keep walking and do what they say, all right?
"Fine with me," JP replied, "Man, you're smart, Zoe,".
However, the Digidestined didn't realize that they had forgotten something.
"Y'know you could have shared the burgers?" one of the Chamelemon asked the commander.
"Shut up!" he replied as he looked back, not seeing the Digimon he soon bumped into, "Oof, hey watch it!".
The Digimon of course was Scutlemon, "Ow, sorry," he said, not knowing who he bumped into, "But what are you doing here bos-" he then saw the lizard was not who he thought, "Oh, sorry, wrong lizard, hehe,".
This just made the Chamelemon then growled and in a few moments sent the young Digimon flying towards the Burgermon town.
"Aaaaaahhhh!" he screamed as he flew by the TorikaraBallmon.
"What was that?" one of the chicken nuggets asked.
"Who cares, we need to save our friends and daddy!"
However, the birds didn't realize that there were Chamelemon hiding in the trees. One the lizards then shot out its tongue and captured the small Digimon.
Back at town,
Grumblemon had just dug out of the ground, hoping to be safe from the nasty patties the boys were crafting, "Ah, what day," he sighed, before noticing he was alone, other than the downed mother, "Huh, where everybody get to?" but then Grumblemon was answered by the scream of someone he knew, "huh?".
"Aaaahh!" Scutlemon screamed as he flew through the sky, before crashing into Grumblemon, "Ow, oh hi Grumblemon,".
"Get off Grumblemon!" he demanded, which the the blue Digimon did "Why you always meet like this?".
"Sorry, I had a close encounter with chameleon kind," Scutlemon explained.
"Wait, you mean Chamelemon?" Grumblemon asked.
"Yeah that's it," Scutlemon said, "Now that I think about it, I think they might have had some humans with them?".
"Humans, wait a minute?" Grumblemon thought, "Chamelemon must taken kids Zoe JP and Tommy?".
"I guess so," Scutlemon said, not seeming worried, "I'm sure their fine, they can just spirit evolve if things get scaly,".
"Yeah, that good point," Grumblemon agreed, before remembering something, "Hang on, kids can't spirit evolve, human friends don't have D-tectors!".
"What, oh, that's not good," Scutlemon said, starting to freak out a little.
"Me have to get D-tectors to friends before to late!" Grumblemon then started to run back into the restaurant.
"Wait how are you going to find them?" Scutlemon asked, as he followed the earth warrior.
"If Chamelemon be Chamelemon me think they be, then Grumblemon find where friends be no problem!" he explained as he ran past the kitchen.
"Oh, okay, well good luck," Scutlemon said after stopping and waving to the goblin.
"Hey Scutlemon, want to try are burgers?" Takuya said from inside the kitchen.
"Sure, sounds fun," the Digimon said as went in, though something in the back of his head made him think he shouldn't, but Scutlemon did pay it attention.
Grumblemon meanwhile had just made it to the basket that held the D-tectors.
"There you are, time to go get back to humans," he then reached for the D-tectors that belonged to the warriors of thunder, wind, and ice. However, before he could pick them up, he noticed Takuya's D-tector and remembered that it held the earth beast spirit Gigasmon, "Hey, beast spirit right there, and right for taking,".
It would be so easy to just grab that which Grumblemon had wanted since he lost it to BurningGreymon. But then again, wouldn't that make the humans mad at him?
"Takuya say Grumblemon not have back beast spirit until Grumblemon prove self?" he said to himself, "Oh, What Grumblemon to do?".
Just then, things went black, which confused the earth warrior, "Huh, what happen now?"
Then from the red D-tector appeared a ghostly version of the beast spirit appeared.
"Gigasmon!" Grumblemon gasped.
Gigasmon looked like a larger more musicler version of Grumblemon, expect with no clothes or armor, his skin was tan like sand and dirt, throughout his body was cone shaped points mostly on his back, his eyes were tan like his body, markings were on his buff arms, and his nose was just as big as Grumblemon's but was more pointed almost like a rhino.
"Why you not just take all spirits Grumblemon?" the large beast asked, his voice sounding like Grumblemon but more gruff and slower.
"But spirits belong to friends," Grumblemon explained, "Me can't betray friends again, me promise,".
"They really friends, or they just hold you back?" the beast asked, "You could take spirits and be greatest, most powerful Digimon!"
"Really, Grumblemon could be that strong?" he asked.
"Of course, just betray friends and take spirits," Gigasmon explained, "It easy,".
Grumblemon was about to head the spirits advise. But then he thought of about all the good times he had with the human warriors, like eating at the beach shack, or racing with Trailmon, or just fighting alongside the good warriors. Grumblemon had a choice, take back his spirit alongside all the others, or stay true to his friends and bring them their D-tectors.
"Don't you want to be me again?" Gigasmon asked.
Grumblemon then closed his eyes and thought. After much debate in his head, he knew what to do. Grumblemon then reached his hand over the red D-tector, but then moved to pick up the ones his friends needed.
"Huh, what you doing?" Gigasmon asked, feeling surprised.
"Me still want Gigasmon spirit back, but me going to earn it," Grumblemon explained, "But right now, me need to help friends, like good legendary warrior should!".
Gigasmon's jaw then closed, before cracking a smile at his humanoid counterparts' decision. The beast spirit then faded alongside the blackness as Grumblemon left to where he needed to be.
In a few moments the earth warrior had made it outside of the restaurant, "Hang in their friends, Grumblemon coming!" He then jumped into the ground and started tunneling to the moss-covered mansion.
Meanwhile in the dungeon of said mansion,
The three kids had just been tossed into the dungeon kitchen with the Burgermon Father, who was surprised by the new inmates.
"Make another batch of those burgers for the master!" A Chamelemon demanded as he slammed the wooden bar door, before leaving, "I'll be back later for them,".
"What's going on? The chief asked as he ran up to the kids.
"We came to save you," Zoe explained.
"Nice job," he said with sarcasm, "Who are you anyway?".
"I'm Tommy, we met your family in the village," the young boy explained, "They asked for help,".
"Are they all right?" the Digimon asked.
"They're fine, but right now we got to concentrate on getting you out of this rotten place," JP explained, a bit annoyed at the situation.
However, the prisoners were interrupted by the cries of the Burgermon's children.
"Daddy, help!" they cried, while tied up in rope by the Chamelemon.
"No, my babies!" the father cried.
"Daddy!".
"Look what I found," the lizard taunted, "If you want to keep them safe, you'd better start cooking, old man,".
"We'll make as many hamburgers as you want, just promise not to hurt them," Zoe pleaded.
"Yeah, you got my word on it," Chamelemon said, though you couldn't tell if he really meant it. He then left with the nuggets, much to their father's dismay.
"Wait, no, please,"
"They're stinkin cowards, using little kids like that," JP said with annoyance.
"This is all my fault," Burgermon Farther moaned as he pulled down his hat, "Even my very best hamburgers weren't good enough,".
"Tommy, I'm sorry I put you in danger," Zoe apologized, "I had no idea any of this would happen, it's because of my plan that we're stuck here,".
"Don't mind at all, besides, it was fun learning to cook I even got to chop my own food," Tommy explained, sounding happy, "Back home, I was just a little kid, always getting in the way, but since I came to this world, I've been able to do things I never even dreamed of, so let's make some hamburgers and make a new plan, okay?".
In a few moments the kids had cooked up the burger Tommy made early and giving it to the Burgermon Farther,
The chef then chomped down the burger and was quite pleased.
What an amazing flavor, It's so simple, yet delicious," he said with delight, "What is the secret, I must know?" he then took off the bun of the burger, "Onions, soaked in salad dressing?!" he said in surprise, before looking at Tommy, "Young man, you've created a masterpiece better than my own, you've captured the bliss of the burger," he then munched it some more and finished it.
JP then did the same and munched down his burger.
"Good job, Tommy," Zoe said as she placed a hand on the boys shoulder.
"A pre-eminent pattie indeed, but not quite finished," Burgermon Farther explained, before walking to get the ingredients, "One more finishing touch and we will have achieved perfection, placed on a sesame bun, this will be the ultimate burger, magnificent!".
Unfortunately the lizards had grown inpatient, "Time's up!".
"We're almost done, hold your water!" JP said in annoyance, before the lizard whipped its tongue on the wooden bars, which for some reason made a clang.
"Apparently you don't care about the little bird brats, take a look," the lizard said before the wall sank down to reveal the outside forest area and showed the birds in cages surrounded by Chamelemon.
"My babies!" the chef cried.
"Daddy!" the birds cried before the cage was lashed by a tongue.
"Quiet, hand over the burgers or I'm making them dessert!" A Chamelemon threatened.
By this point, Tommy had enough of the scaly bullies, "All you're making is a big mistake!" he then reached for his D-tector, only to find it wasn't there, "Huh, oh no,".
"We forgot are D-tectors!" Zoe moaned as she checked her pockets, feeling really bad for making such a stupid mistake.
"What are we going to do now!?" JP said with frustration.
But then the ground began to rumble, much to everyone confusion. Then as the ground rumbled more, there was a loud thud from under the wooden floor boards.
"Ow, why they put that, *grumble* *grumble*," a familiar voice said, before the creature then used more force and broke through floor.
"Grumblemon!" the kids said with surprise.
"Who?" Burgermon Father said in confusion.
"Hehe, me guess you friends be looking for something, huh?" the earth warrior snickered with a smile, before pulling out the kids Digivices.
"Are D-tectors!" the kids said with joy as they took them, which made Grumblemon proud.
"You didn't take any of spirits, right?" JP teased.
"Now why me do something like that, herheha," Grumblemon replied, not phased by the comment.
"Those bullies are going down!" Tommy said as he activated his D-tector, to which Zoe and JP did the same.
The spirit of ice glowed as Tommy than began his transformation, "Execute!" Tommy then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!".
The armor of the ice bear appeared around the boy and slowly pressed onto him.
The spirit of wind glowed as Zoe began her transformation. "Execute!" Zoe then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!". The armor of the wind fairy appeared around the girl and slowly pressed onto her.
The spirit of thunder glowed green, "Execute!" JP then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!". The bug armor appeared and pressed onto the him.
The humans then finished their transformation and had become,
"Kumamon!"
"Kazemon!"
"Beetlemon!".
"Grumblemon!" the earth warrior said, after jumping to pose with his fellow warriors.
The legendary warriors then broke through the wooden bars and charged at the Chamelemon. Beetlemon charged into two and knocked them down with his arms.
"Back off!" Kazemon shouted after she bumped into Chamelemon. Unfortunately, another Chamelemon grabbed the fairy with its tongue and slammed into the ground, "Huh, aaahh!".
"Seismic sledge!" Grumblemon shouted as he slammed his hammer on the lizard's tongue.
"AAAAAhhh!" The lizard than retracted its tongue, freeing the fairy.
"Thanks," she thanked, to which the earth warrior nodded.
Beetlemon flew into the air while holding a Chamelemon by the tail, "Your turn to get a lickin' lizard boy, buh bye!" he then dropped the the lizard onto the ground, which its head went in face first.
Kumamon then melted into snow, before forming into an icicle, "Frozen Tundra!" he then tried to jump onto the Chamelemon, but the lizard vanished before the bear could land his icy impact, "Huh, where'd he go?".
However, he was soon answered when one reappeared on a tree behind the ice warrior and tried to attack the bear with its tongue. Thankfully Kumamon was able to dodge, but just barely.
"Uh oh, where'd they go?!" Beetlemon shouted as he looked around, "How do they do that?".
"Now you see me, now you don't'!" The lizards taunted as they kept on disappearing and reappearing in the area.
"This isn't good," Beetlemon said, "Keep your eye on that one!".
Sadly, the lizard quickly vanished.
"Guys have you forgotten about the children," Kazemon said as she flew in.
"I didn't!" a Chamelemon said before he cut the rope that held that cage of kids.
"Neither did Grumblemon!" the goblin then jumped up to try to whack the lizard, but he vanished before he could land the smack down.
"AAAAAAhhh!" the Torikaraballmon screamed.
Kazemon quickly flew in and caught the cage, but it was a close call. She quickly opened the cage and allowed the birds to flew to their burger daddy.
The warrior now gathered in a circle as they tried to spot the wretched reptiles.
"How are we supposed to fight what we can't see?!" Beetlemon moaned.
"You can't, all you can do is suffer!" the Chamelemon mocked with a laugh.
"Suffer, wait minute, sulfur!" Grumblemon said, having come up with an idea that made him snicker.
"What'ch you laughing at?" Beetlemon asked.
"Me think it time Grumblemon make new friend, hehe," the earth warrior then pulled out the potion he finished early, which glowed to show it was finished, and poured out some of the substance with in, "By power of great spirit who live beneath ground, me command big thing to change way and fight for good!" as he chanted this, a pink glitter came from the bottle landed onto the ground and caused a orange target to appear. Rubble began to come from the target, alongside a metal mask, "Time now to repent from past deeds, now lead good legendary warrior to victory!".
The rubble then formed together with the mask and became the a Digimon that looked like a monster made of yellow rocks with bandages on around its body, small stacks of rocks erupted from its back, and covering its red eyed face was a metal mask that covered the top of the head and not the mouth.
"Arise, Golemon!".
And with that Grumblemon's minion had appeared and let a fairly intimidating roar, "Rrraaaarrr!".
"Whoa!" Kumamon gasped in awe.
"Yeah that's cool, but how's he going to help?" Beetlemon asked, before getting slapped by a tongue, "Ow, hey!".
"Hehe, this how, Golemon use your sulfur plume!" Grumblemon commanded.
Golemon then opened its mouth preparing his attack, "Sulfur plu-
"But keep mouth close when do it!" Grumblemon commanded, much to the rock monster's surprise.
Golemon quickly shut his mouth and continued the attack. But instead of the attack coming out of the mouth, smoke erupted from the rock stacks on its back. This caused smoke to cover the area, which started to interfere with the Chamelemon's invisibility.
"Chamelemon use digital pigment hide, but with shifting sulfur clouds pigment can't keep up and Chamelemon can't hide that good," Grumblemon explained.
"Cool, now lets put these bullies on ice!" Kumamon proclaimed as he pulled out his missile launcher, "Blizzard Blaster!" he cried as he fired ice missiles at the Chamelemon, knocking them off the trees.
"I've has it with these scaly scum, Lightning Blitz!" Beetle shouted as he charged through the lizards with lighting sparking off his horn.
"Hurricane Wave!" Kazemon cried as she attacked the Chamelemon with tornados from her fingers, this cleared the smog but the Chamelemon were too dazed to use this good fortune.
Grumblemon then dove into the ground and then popped up around the lizards, "Surprise!" he shouted while whacking them into a pile with his hammer.
One of them tried to get away, but then got grabbed his tail by Golemon, "Huh, oh no, whaaaaa!" he cried as he was slammed into the pile by the golem, that gave a roar while doing so.
"Crystal Breeze!" Kumamon then blew an icy wind that froze the pile of Chamelemon, defeating the vile reptiles.
"You did it! The Torikaraballmon cheered, "We don't have to worry about those big bullies anymore!"
"We wouldn't have beat them without your help Golemon," Kumamon said to the rock monster, which made beast give a funny grin with closed eyes.
A fractal code then appeared around the Chameleomon.
"Like you kept telling us, time's up," Kumamon said as he pulled out his D-tector, "Now to send you bullies back to where you belong, fractal code, digitize!" he then swiped the D-tector across the fractal code and absorbed it.
This caused the Chamelemon to become a smaller yellow Digimon known Armadillomon and a pink flower like egg thing to fall to the ground, "Oh, Ah!" they cried as the scattered away, fearing for the rest of their Fractal Code.
"Wait why'd they become that?" Beetlemon asked.
"That must have been what they looked like before evolving," Burgermon Farther explained.
"But what about the big Digimon?" Kazemon pointed out.
"Oh, my, I almost forgot, I still have to feed him!" the cook cried before running back to the kitchen, "I have to finish that hamburger, oh!".
However, since things had calmed down Grumblemon had gotten a good look at the forest area and realized, "Wait minute, me remember this place, this where Arbormon first find beast spirit Petaldramon!" he said with astonishment. He then thought about his former companion, and how fractured their friendship was, "It so long ago that Arbormon and Grumblemon come here, and yet still feel like yesterday, huh,".
While the goblin thought about the past, the others quickly worked to finish the burgers, which was good since the owner of the mansion had awoken from his nap and was feeling hungry.
"Where is it?" the lizard shouted as stomped down the stairs, "I'm hungry!".
"Better hurry," Beetlemon said with worry, "I think the big guy's awake,".
"Almost finished," Burgermon Father said as he worked on the food.
"I hate it when I'm right," Beetlemon moaned as the big Digimon entered.
"Wait minute, Grumblemon know that voice!" he said with worry.
"Where's my burger!?" Petaldramon yelled impatiently as he crawled towards the kitchen, "I'm wasting away here!", but then he noticed who was there, "Hey wait, haven't I seen yous guys somewhere before?" he then stood up on his hind legs.
"The giant digimon," Kumamon started.
"Was Petaldramon?!" Kazemon finished.
"What are yous doing here?" the wood beast asked before he saw the earth warrior, and got even angrier, "Grumblemon, why you!?".
"Wait, me made mistake, Grumblemon didn't mean to," he tried to explain, but was knocked aside by the lizard's arms.
Golemon saw this and tried to avenge its master. But was then stabbed by Petaldramon's tail root attack and crushed, destroying him.
"I don't want to hear it!" he yelled hardly even flinching at the rock beast's demise, "I'm toos hungry for traitors, so shut up, right!".
"But Petaldramon?" Grumblemon cried, feeling hurt be the wood beast's words.
"But nothin, we are enemies now!" the lizard shouted with hurtful rage, "Now yous get out of my face before I beat you and make you my dinner!".
"The only one getting beat, is you!" the other warriors said in unison as fractal enveloped them, "Slide evolution!".
The warriors of wind, thunder, and ice then transformed into their beast spirits known as,
"Zephyrmon!".
"MetalKabuterimon!".
"Blizzardmon!".
"Aw can't ya's come back another time, I was just about to eat?" Petaldramon asked, before getting down on all fours, "Guess not, all right, let's get this over with!" he said while almost swatting Zephyrmon with his lard root tail. He then shot his brown tongue at Blizzardmon, who jumped out of the way, before trying to stomp MetalKabuterimon, who quickly backed up.
"Let's clean up this yard, Hurricane Gale!" Zephyrmon shouted as she threw a harsh wind at the lizard, blowing against his bark face violently .
"What was that?" Petaldramon shout after the rough attack, before trying to chomp the harpie ninja and managed to grab her leg.
"Ow, hey watch it!" she shouted in pain.
When Grumblemon heard this, his sorrow turned to anger. He quickly pulled out his hammer and slammed it onto Petaldramon's foot.
"You let Zephyrmon go, Seismic Sledge! He shouted.
"Ow, why you!" the lizard shouted in pain as he turned to the goblin.
Meanwhile, Burgermon Father worked hard to put the finishing touches on the bun.
"That's it, the ultimate burger!" he cried with excitement.
Back at the battle, Petaldramon gotten up and started swaying side to side before his red leaf main began to spin, "Leaf Cyclone!" he shouted as he fired leafy tornados from his nose, this knocked back Grumblemon and MetalKabuterimon.
The bug tank quickly recovered and charged a head, while Grumblemon took a minute to recover. However, he then noticed the Burgermon about to give his kids the burger to present to Petaldramon. But Grumblemon decided things should be different and went and grabbed the burger and started running to the lizard.
Blizzardman then started fidgeting as he tried to get the red leafs off that had come from the lizard's attack. The ice beast was eventually able to free himself and let out a mighty roar, "Roar, Frozen Arrowheads!" he then grabbed Petaldramon's neck with his dreadlocks and tried to pull him down.
Petaldramon pulled back hard, but MetalKabuterimon had grabbed onto the ice beast and hung on to help him with the tug-of-war.
"What's the matter with ya, my burger's getting cold!" the lizard complained, "Don't you even care!?".
"No!" the Digimon on the other side of the tug-a-war replied.
"Aw, I didn't think so," Petaldramon moaned with an open mouth.
"But Grumblemon do care, take this!" the earth warrior shouted as ran up the white dreadlocks and chucked a large burger into the lizard's mouth.
Petaldramon then munched down the burger, "Mhm-mmm,".
The dreadlocks then let go after Grumblemon jumped off.
"A dab of ketchup on top and you've got the ultimate burger!" Burgermon Father shouted dramatically as he threw another burger into the wood beast mouth, that was quickly chomped.
"Feel better now?" Grumblemon asked hopefully.
"Mmmh, you've done it!" Petaldramon shouted with a smile, "I want more, I want all of them!".
"They're in the kitchen!" the Torikaraballmon explained in unison.
"AH, let me at them, coming through!" the wood beast shouted with enthusiasm as he hit the ground and crawled to the kitchen.
"Time to go," Zephyrmon said quickly as she picked up the Burgermon Farther and flew away.
"Wait for us!" the Torikaraballmon shouted as the flew with them.
"Oh at last, the ultimate hamburger!" Petaldramon cheered as picked up and ate more and more burgers, happy as can be. But then, he began to feel full, "Whoa, nappy time," he then curled up on the flour and fell asleep, looking kinda cute
"Petaldramon," Grumblemon slowly said, seeming disappointed.
"Bolo thun-huh?" the thunder beast was about to blast the roof above the lizard, but then noticed the saddened earth warrior. He could tell that something about the lizard made the the goblin worried. He then lowered his electro guns and transformed back to Beetlemon and walked up to the earth warrior, "Come on, we should go," he said calmly.
"Huh, oh yeah, go," he replied before getting on the beetle's back.
Kumamon did the same before the beetle then flew away then flew away.
However, after the good warriors had left, one of the Armidlomon tried to go get the pink object that had fall from the fractal code. But before it could get close, something landed in front of it and growled. This frightened the yellow Digimon who quickly fled from what looked like a wolf with jet wings and a star shaped mane.
The creature then picked up the object with its jaw before looking at the wood beast.
Outside the mansion the heroes were flying away, with Grumblemon seeming saddened about the battle.
Beetlemon noticed this, "Hey you okay Grumble?" the lightning warrior asked the earth warrior, who seemed down.
"Grumblemon just thinking about good times with Arbormon," he explained, "Grumblemon found Petaldramon beast spirit with Arbormon there, very nostalgic,".
"You still care about him don't you," Beetlemon asked, which alerted the former villain.
"Huh, I um, yeah?" he replied, feeling unsure, before sighing "Me wonder if it wrong for Grumblemon to still care?".
"Well I don't think your wrong," Beetlemon replied, "He was your friend after all".
"Yeah, and to be honest he doesn't seem that bad," Kumamon said, who was sitting next to the gnome.
"Huh, really, but Arbormon bad guy," Grumblemon replied.
"I know, its just when he ate the burger I helped create, for some reason I felt kinda happy that he enjoyed it," Kumamon explained.
"Yeah, it feel good to make friend happy, even if former friend now enemy," Grumblemon replied, "Me just wish Arbormon not evil warrior,".
"At least he wasn't as bad as you were back then," Beetlemon said.
"Yeah," Grumblemon said, before getting slightly annoyed, "Hey, what that supposed mean?!".
In a few moments the heroes had returned to the Burgermon Village,
"Thank you, you saved him!" Burgermon mother thanked graciously, before fainting again, but was thankfully caught by her children.
"Mama!"
"I don't know how to thank you for all you've done for me and my family," Burgermon farther thanked, "As much as I love good burger, I never thought my life would be saved by one," he then looked to Tommy, "In honor of you, I'm naming our new creation the Little Tommy,".
"Oh, thank you," the young boy thanked.
"Hey, where are the guys?" Zoe asked.
"Me wonder that too, they need quit slacking off," Grumblemon added.
Just then a scream came from the restaurant, before Scutlemon burst through the door, looking disgusted.
"Whaaaah, why were they so bad, blaaaaah?!" he squirmed before sticking out his tongue.
"Hey they weren't that bad," Koji complained after he and Takuya came out.
"Yeah, you didn't have to set them on fire," Takuya added.
"You didn't even cook them, of course I did!" Scutlemon shouted as he flailed his claws.
This made the others chuckle a bit. But when Grumblemon stopped, he looked towards where the mission was.
"Me hope you having good night too, Arbormon," he thought.
Speaking of the wood warrior.
Back at the mansion, the wood beast was just waking up from his nap.
"Oh, I must have dozed off," Petaldramon said with a yawn, "I had the most delicious dream, and Grumblemon was there with a delicious burger for me,".
Oddly enough, he found himself outside, and it felt like something was pulling his tails. But when he looked back, nothing was there. He brushed this off after looking up to the night sky.
"Ah, those three moons are beautiful tonight, they look so good up there, I'm ready to eat again!" he said as he stood up, before plopping back down, "Nah, too tired, fuggedaboutit," he yawned as he fell back to sleep, "*Yawn* good night, Grumblemon, miss yah, *snore*, buddy,".
Though as he slept, the lizard was unaware of the Digimon watching him. It then let out a howl, only to be interrupted by the sound of Toucanmon be chased by MetalTyrannomon in the distance, before jetting off.
Narrator Rika: Something tells me that nap won't last very long. To see what happens when the food wears off, tune into the next Digimon Frontier,
Purification Redemption!
Finally done, sorry this took so long.
Scutlemon: Well you did have finals, so you were kinda busy.
Yeah, but that's finished, and now I'm free!
Scutlemon: Until next semester in a few weeks. But that's your final semester then you be free from school for good!.
Right, don't you have something you need to do?
Scutlemon: Huh? oh yeah, I better go do that. Bye everyone!
