Isthian FINALLY got his undies and clothes back on, much to everyone's delight. "I guess we'd better go pay the blob..." He sighed sorrowfully.
"He isn't a blob!" Fiona said as she smacked Isthian. "He's actually kind of cute if you think about it."
Isthian paused for a moment... perhaps ACTUALLY thinking! "Erm. I'm just not seeing that. He is so blobby. And ugly. And gross. And, and... PURPLE..."
"HEY!!! BE RESPECTFUL!!" The Otamamon whacked Isthian over the head.
"Just shut up and look for something edible other then your head. Because..." she continued. "If you don't, that's what we'll be feeding to the Otamamon."
I'd say it's about time for another girly scream, wouldn't you? "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Isthian practically ran across the water.
Fiona smiled a smile of self satisfaction as quickly got out of the water and put on some more clothes. "Find anything yet?"
Isthian pulled his head out of a blueberry bush. "Erm, depends. Are these thingies edible?"
"Why don't you eat one and see?"
"Oh! What a great idea!" Isthian, amazingly, wasn't being sarcastic, and gulped down a few handfuls. "Hmm... they seem okay..."
"Da - uh... okay. Pick some of those." Fiona directed. "I'll help you, one second."
"One second? One second 'til what? Ah, well..." Isthian yanked off his shirt and started piling blueberries in it.
Fiona went over to the bush and began picking the blueberries and piling them in Isthian's shirt as well, not exactly willing to get her shirt dirty, much less pull it off in front of Isthian.
Isthian sweatdropped. "Hey, why should I have to carry all the food?!"
"Because it's your underwear I had to get back."
"But... but... but..." But Isthian's arguing skills were worse than Podima's. "Yes, dearest," he finally sighed.
Fiona tried to ignore him as much as possible as she kept on picking the berries.
Isthian sighed again. "This is taking toooo long!" He grabbed the bush, literally yanked it out of the ground, and tossed it onto the shirt. "Phew! Done! Now let's just get this back to the blob and get away!"
Fiona gave Isthian a surprised look. "Holy crap."
"Come on, Yankee girly, back to the blob!" Isthian started dragging his shirt back to the lake.
"Nothing can hold your attention - " Fiona was interrupted when she realized Isthian was already 10 or so yards ahead of her.
"I wonder if this bush will rip my shirt," Isthian mused. "And, if so, does it matter?"
"Yes. It does."
Isthian blinked. "It does?"
"We've already had you without your underwear." Fiona said. "And that was only temporary. You without your shirt forever is almost as worse."
"Oh, come now... you KNOW you like it..." Isthian leaned over toward Fi and leered a bit.
"We don't want to be staring at your 'sexy flab' anymore then we do your face."
"Ack!" Time for an anime fall.
Back at the lake... "Oh, THERE you are! FINALLY! Come on, come on, show me what you've got!!" The Otamamon was getting... or, rather, continuing to be, quite impatient.
"Sorry it took us so long," said Fiona apologetically. "I was sick for some time looking at Isthian without his shirt."
Isthian grinned. "Ah, she knows she liked it... anyway, here's your food!" He threw the blueberry bush on the Otamamon.
"AACK!!" The Otamamon sank under the water, then reappeared a few moments later, sputtering. "ARGH!! How dare you insult me, first with that pathetic offering, then by attacking me?!?" Then he started glowing brightly. "Otamamon, digivolve toooo... YANMAMON!!!" A giant creature that looked like a dragonfly appeared in the small purple blob's place.
Fiona screamed loudly. "MY GOD!!!!!" And followed her exclamation by jumping behind Isthian.
Isthian went bug-eyed. "ACK! It got uglier!! Eww..."
"Ugly, am I? Well, I will turn YOU into a VERY UGLY lump of DEAD HUMAN!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Yanmamon cackled madly.
Fiona screamed again. "WE TRIED TO HELP YOU! YOU JUST CAN'T KILL US!"
"Well, you didn't try very hard! So now I WILL just kill you!"
Christo watched as Isthian threw an uprooted blueberry bush at the Otamamon.
"This can't be good." she sweatdropped. She shielded her eyes briefly as Otama-sama glowed, then opened them with horror as she saw the other creature that had taken its place.
"Oh ****." she swore.
"Come on, Labra-chan!" she said, as she pulled off her jacket, boots and socks, and rolled up her jeans. She and Labramon waded into the water.
Labramon attacked. "RETRIEVE BARK!!!!!!!!!!"
Surprised by the attack from behind, Yanmamon was squarely stuck. However, not even an unguarded hit from a Rookie could have much effect on the now Champion lake-dweller.
"Arrgghhh!! WELL! I was GOING to kill these two first, but if you so CRAVE death, then I will be HAPPY to give it to you!! THUNDER RAY!" The Yanmamon's wings speed up until they were moving faster than the eye could see, and electricity crackled all over them. Then, with a mighty flap and a gust of wind, lighting shot out from its wings and headed straight for the water where Christobel and Labramon stood.
Taira sputtered and charged into the water. She didn't wanna talk with Kamika and Chris.......too much friction. Taira blinked her eyes and watched Isthian and Fi gathering berries. TG watched with interest and giggles when Fiona made her comments about his shirtless state.
Her eyes went wide as Thian just up and with some unknown strength just pulled out the bush, roots and all. Taira sweatdropped as they began to tow the shrub into the lake and to the digimon. Once Thi threw it.....she knew he had killed us all.
She then scanned the area for her digimon who, was keeping a certain digimon entertained. Her sweatdrop was as big as her hand "FOXMON! GET OVER HERE!!!" Foxmon growled "Sorry, Teku...Mom's calling" she said sarcastically and walked to her partner "What TG!"
Taira just blinked and pointed to the new digimon, pop out of the water, and look very angry. "I believe we are needed..."Taira coughed and started to swim out towards the fight. At that moment the newly formed champion started to attack Christobel. Taira scrambled faster in the water. Her digivice on shore was screaming loudly. TG dived under the water along with Foxmon. Taira grabbed Christo and dragged her under water. Foxmon sputtered to the air, but she was no longer Foxmon. She was now Metalfoxmon. The large Garirimon look alike flew out of the water. Water dripping off her, TG, Christo, and Labramon. The bolt reached the water and sent a shock threw the lake. Water conducting electricity wasn't a good thing since water amplifies the voltage. Since the new digivolved digimon of hers was quite large, Taira had her swoop down low. "I need to make up for missing the last fight" Taira yelled and reached out a hand to Thian. She reached to him because Taira could handle his weight. Taira yelled "FI GRAB ONTO CHRISTOBEL QUICK!"
Chris watched uncomfortably from his new position by the lake as Thian tossed a bush on the Otamamon. "Bad idea..." He looked around for Tekumon to find him making out with Foxmon. He sweatdropped hugely and was about to yell for him when Taira did. Tekumon and Foxmon broke apart reluctantly, and Foxmon ran over to Taira. Then they dove in the water, and Chris blinked as a storm of data assailed his technology-compatible mind. When his mind cleared, he smiled as he saw Taira's now-digivolved Foxmon swoop over the water, carrying Taira, Christo, Labramon, and now Thian. He blinked and looked at his digivice, which was vibrating. He pulled it off his pants and looked at it. The "digivolve bar" screen was up, and the bar was filled and flashing. He grinned as he saw Tekumon flying toward him, having felt the surge of power, too. "TEKUMON!" he yelled.
"What?"
"Time to digivolve!"
"Right!" A silver light enveloped Tekumon. "TEKUMON DIGIVOLVE INTOOOOOO.....SAIBDRAMON!!!"
The silver light disappeared, revealing a new digimon standing there. It resembled a dragon faintly, having that type of head, and a long sinuous neck. It was about twice the size of a large horse, and it walked on four legs. But apparently it could rise up on its hind legs and use the two front legs as arms. It had a long tail, and two wings rose from its shoulders. But, however, it being a technology digimon, the dragon's scales were silver, its head was partially cybernetic (half of the face was covered with some steel plates), the wings were partially organic and partially cybernetic, its left front leg/arm/claw was robotic, and its tail sported, at the end, three sharp steel spikes. Also, there were cybernetic parts and steel plates scattered around the rest of its body.
The dragon turned its head toward Chris and grinned. "Like it?"
"You bet!"
"Now, how about we go for a ride and rescue Fiona from the big bug?"
"Oh, do we have to?" Chris said jokingly, running up to Saibdramon, who bent down to let Chris get on. Then he flapped his wings and took off, heading for Fiona, who was still in the water near the Yanmamon.
"ALL RIGHT!" Chris yelled, loving the feeling of riding Saibdramon.
Taira pulled Thian all the way up onto her digimon. Thian was now sitting behind her and Taira knew he was having a great time. She sweatdropped and saw Chris coming up flying, "Over here CHRIS!" Taira shouted. MetalFoxmon was smirking in her digimon ways.
Chris heard Taira shout, and tapped Saibmon on his shoulder from where he was sitting. "Shall we go join them?" Saibmon smirked and nodded. He flapped his wings mightily and soared over to where Metalfoxmon and Taira were, with Thian, Christo, and Labramon also on MetalFoxmon's back.
She was so relieved to see another person to help her, so was MetalFoxmon, she couldn't hold this many people. Taira smiled "Chris grab Fi! Hurry before the electricity get there" MetalFoxmon turned to see them fly up "Wow Teku YOU GREW!" She said.
Saibdramon grinned again, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "Not Tekumon anymore- it's Saibdramon now, Foxy!" Then he swooped down and skimmed over the surface of the water, Chris reaching out his hand and grabbing Fiona. He lifted her onto Saibdramon's back, straining to do so. "Sheesh, you need to cut back on the sweets, Fi!" Saibdramon soared back up just before the electricity hit, and got back "in formation", next to MetalFoxmon.
Metalfoxmon grinned showing off her own set of pearly whites. She hovered above the water and the electric charge passed below then in a flash of white across the water. Taira sighed with relief and smiled at Chris, moving a wet strand of hair out of her eyes. Her goggles now around her head again, she replaced them after the dive. Metalfoxmon "Sorry Saibdramon" she smirked.
Chris shouted over to Taira. "Want me to take anyone else? MetalFoxmon looks overloaded!"
Taira blinked "It's up to them?"Kamika looked around, trying to find Puttimon. "Puttimon!" She shouted. As soon as she watched the battle start, Puttimon ran into her arms. "Wow. . ." She muttered as she watched two digimon digivolve. She decided to stay out of the fight and kept near the trees to avoid fighting. She hoped she wouldn't get involved.
Isthian watched the electricity crackling over the lake below with some amazement. He was really quite sure that he did NOT want to get dropped in there... and was it just his imagination, or was MetalFoxmon really struggling? (This being Isthian, it could well have been either.)
"Er, much as I love you, Taira honey, (and really I do, and being so close to you is GREAT, for you too, I'm sure, because I know you have a thing for me, but anyway) I think I'm gonna have to run now..." Isthian looked over at Chris. "Ew, man! Is it just me, or does Chris look like he's REALLY loving riding that thingy? Eww... yaoi has never been my favorite kind of hentai!" He shuddered at the mere thought of it. "Though with Podima, it doesn't surprise me..."
He took another look down at the lake, MetalFoxmon, then back to Chris on Saibdramon. "On the other hand, Fiona IS over there... and I KNOW she really appreciates a guy like me -- she was practically drooling over me when I took off my shirt -- plus she's a great kisser, and you've never taken the opportunity, so I think I'm going to go with the one that pays off. AND I don't want him hitting on her -- she's all mine! Some other time, my fair friend!" Isthian gave Taira a quick peck on the cheek, stood up on MetalFoxmon's back, and prepared to leap. "OVER HERE, PODIMA!"
Just then, however, Yanmamon came swooping in, infuriated by the humans' continuing reluctance to die. What IS it with these things, anyway? "AAAAAAAARRRGHH!! I'll get you now!" And he rammed right into MetalFoxmon, hitting her just as Isthian was leaping...
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Caught off balance, Isthian's leap was nowhere strong enough to carry him all the way across to Chris and (the lovely) Fiona. He fell... down, down... towards the lake still rippling with electricity...
Taira sweatdropped at Thian's comment and blushed as well. Metalfoxmon moved closer to Chris's digimon and waited for Thian to move onto the other digimon. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and she became even redder Just then Metalfoxmon was hit in the side causing Thian to fall to his doom. Taira clung onto her digimon and hoped Christobel was okay. TG saw her friend plummeting toward the water, MetalFoxmon wasn't ganna have any of this, she swooped down. Taira held out her arm and caught him, she started to lose her balance as he hung above the water. Could she hold on....."I thought I ought to repay you for the kiss" she said straining to pull him up.
Isthian tried desperately to get back to safety. "Wow! I should kiss you more often! Usually I get hit, but you save my life! Remind me to kiss you again, when I'm back up there..." He struggled to climb up MetalFoxmon to safety.
Taira moaned in pain "Damn. You heavy" She used all her strength and pulled him up "Climb up" She said looking worried even though her face was all ><; "Once he made his comment she giggled and finish pulling him up, hoping he would pull himself up too.
Finally, with much huffing, puffing, and with lots of sweat making his shirtless (scrawny) chest shine, Isthian managed to clamber on. "Whoa... that was.... rough. Stupid blob."
Taira smiled now that he was safe. She turned towards him "You okay, loverboy?" she giggled.
Isthian grinned broadly. "With you around, I'm always great!" He leaned over to kiss her again.
Taira backed away, but Thian was to quick for her. He had just kissed her on the lips. Taira's eyes widened and she kissed back a little before pulling back. She just giggled and smiled "Shall we bring you to Chris now?"
Isthian grinned again. "Well, I'm not sure about Chris, but I wouldn't mind getting back to Yankee-girl, so... sure!"
Fiona heard Taira's shouts, but they came too late. Isthian, one minute on the ground next to her, was now high above her, soaring on what WAS Foxmon. "Oh boy..." she muttered, then shouted the first thing that came to her mind. "PENGUINMON!!!"
Penguinmon looked up from the water, then realizing what happened quickly waddled as fast as he could over to Fiona. "What should we do?"
"Ooooo..." Fiona moaned. "I don't know! Can you get bigger like Foxmon and Tekumon did?"
Christo turned to Labramon. "Can you get bigger too?" she asked.
"I don't know, I never tried before." came the reply.
"Oh. Ok--Ahhhh!" Christo cried as she fell.
Chris sighed as he watched Thian kiss Taira. "Does that perv like Fiona or not?" he wondered, starting to look back to see Fiona's, who was sitting behind him, reaction. But then Christo fell, leaving Labramon still on MetalFoxmon's back, and Saibdramon dived after her. He came up under her, and flapped his wings, flying straight up. Christo thumped onto his back, and stayed there. Chris grinned, and Saibdramon flew back up again. He shouted across to Taira, "I'm sure Thian wants over here, and Christo wants back over there, so how about we do a switch? Thian can try jumping again and either Christo can jump over there, or Labramon can jump over here. Saibdramon's strong enough to take both of them, too!"
Kamika nearly screamed as she watched Isthian almost fall. She exhaled in relief. She couldn't see what was happening since she was so far away but something was happening and she didn't want to miss it. She moved slightly closer but was stopped by Puttimon.
Puttimon pulled on Kamika's jeans, "Don't get closer. . . . I don't want you to get hurt. . ."
Kamika smiled and nodded, "Sure Puttimon. . ." So instead of moving, Kamika stayed in the same spot, afraid of what might happen.
Isthian was still a bit unhappy about not having made his jump. He got another kiss out of it, true, but he looked like such a weakling not being able to get across that small distance!
He looked over at the Yanmamon, which was flittering around trying to see if it had hurt its wing while hitting MetalFoxmon, and decided to try again. "Hey, Podima!" he called over. "Make some room for me over there! Er, preferably not right next to you. I just don't *swing* that way, and I don't want to! Ugh... might be contagious..."
