Jean aroused again. From the lack of sleep, she had dozed off every now and then. This time, when she looked around, she saw two new faces.
"Whoa. I'm hallucinating!" she yelled, jumping up.
"Either that or you're seeing things," Agumon said, nodding. She blinked.
"Um, that's what hallucinating MEANS, dimwit..." She rubbed her eyes, hit her head on the wall, and opened them again.
"Wow! People!" She attempted to run over to them, tripped over her own feet, got up, and stuck out her hand.
"My name's Jean Karo! I'm from the heartland of Texas, USA, Houston! Well, I go to school in Houston, I LIVE in Ector... ANYWAY! I'm eleven, and a so-proclaimed leader! Oh, and this is my little Digithing, Agumon." She pointed to the little orange dinosaur who had followed her.
"Hullo!" he said.
"Sooo...who're you? Where ya from?"
"Patamon are you sure that this place is Star Kingdom??" asked Nazia.
"Uhhh, actually I remembered this place ain't Star Kingdom but there is a Mansion up ahead!" Patamon says while sweatdrops. ^.^;;
"O OK.....I think I see the Mansion!" exclaimed Nazia.
"You're right!"
"Uhh, the sky seems a little strange doesn't it??" said Nazia.
"Naz, you gotta point, I have a funny feeling about this place. O well!" Nazia and Patamon start running/flying towards the Mansion.
Jean ran outside to get some fresh air, Lord knows she needed it.
Running...running...running...CRASHING...
She had run right into an unfamiliar girl and a flying batpig...bathamster...whatever.
"WHOA! ....BATPIG!! BWAH! EVIL SIDEKICK OF BATMAN!!" She saw the bewildered looks on their faces, she stood up and extended her hand to shake.
"I mean, uh, HI! I'm Jean Karo, from Texas of the USA, and uh, I have a Digithing named Agumon that is an orange dinosaur. Who might you twos be?" she asked.
"Uhh Hello, My name is Nazia Rashid I'm from California, USA. Nice to meet you Jean! Oh, This is Patamon" pointing at Patamon.
"Hey! Nice to meet you!" said Patamon happily.
"So you have a digimon too! COOL! I'm not the only one. Whew!"
Aen moans and opens her eyes. Tsukaimon blinks nervously at her, "Oh! Yer awake! Come quick--there's a fight goin on!"
"Oww . . . Wh-what happened, Tsuk?" she sat up slowly, stiff from the odd position she was lying in. Rubbing her aching head ruefully, she stared up at a long flight of stairs.
"You tripped," Tsukaimon stated.
"Ah-ah, I see . . ." standing, dusting the dirt of the attic from her body, she glanced down the hall, "Where is this fight? Is it digimon?"
She followed her 'mon through the house, and came to a sudden stop at a room's entrance.
"Not quite digimon . . ." Tsukaimon grinned.
Aen leaned on the doorframe, eyes locked thoughtfully on the new boy.
Jean grinned. "I know seven others who've got 'em too! Slade, Loki, Natalie, Siren, Aen, Hikaru, and Nathan. They're in that stupid mansion." She pointed to the mansion and rolled her eyes.
"Unless you like dresses and all that stuff, I wouldn't go in there for long. That's why I came out. Siren was getting to be a butler, making us wear dresses and tuxes..."
"Well, anyway, how'd you get in here? I came here from this DigiVice thing." She held up an orange DigiVice with blue highlights. "It came out of my math book!!"
"Well, I came through my computer while I was talkin on the phone with my friend. But before that even happened my Digivice came out of the computer!" Holding out the green and yellow highlights digivice. "Well, I dunno about the dresses part about this banquet, but if there is food I'll do anything. I'm starving!" said Nazia.
"Yeah let's go!" yelled Patamon.
Jean laughed. "ROCK ON!" she said, starting to run off.
"AAAAAAAAAGUUUUUUUUUMOOOOOOON!!! C'MON OUT HERE, THERE'S SOMEONE TO SEEEEEE YOOOOOOOU!!!!" she yelled, her words carried away with the wind. Agumon trotted out and was promptly stampeded by Jean, who didn't even see him.
"@_@;;" Agumon looked a bit like that...except more flat.
"Another kid?" Nathan said in disbeleif, they had been the only ones there for a couple of days and now, in one night, 2 more just appear.
"Yes! Nathan! Comeoncomeoncomeon! Morekidsmorekidsmorekids!" Avumon grabed Nathans hand and waddled out of the mansion, pulling Nathan behind him. Once they were out, Avumon let go and crawled across the ground, stopping in front of Nazia. "Hey there! I'm Avumon! That slow little dimwit is Nathan!" Stoping then looking at Patamon he yells, "Hey! It's Patamon! Nice to meet ya, um, since you can fly, could you maybe, get my chocolate covered almonds out of the big hole in the floor?"
"Avumon,they landed in mud."
"So? They're made of chocolate and that certainly didn't stop me."
"They made you sick! You said that yourself!"
"I lied again."
"Oh,just be quiet.Um, hi! I'm Nathan! Nice to meet you."
Siren trotted up holding a green dress. "Hi, I'm Siren!"
Hikaru went out to meet the new kid. "Hi," she said, "I'm Hikaru. This is Seikimon." She looks at Patamon. "Wow," she said, "I wish I had THAT digimon instead of this weird water dragon thingy that can only do an attack called 'Water Bubbles.'
"Anyways," said Hikaru, "I was doing my project, when I got inside my computer and got this weird thing called a Digivice." She showed a Silver Digivice. "Oh sorry," blushed Hikaru, "do I talk too much?"
Slade smiles and says, "Aie... thick skulls were alwaays good for blunt implements, but I prefer this..." He spun a roundhouse heel kick out of no where, and knew Loki would duck it, but then he brought his hidden chain into play, snagging Loki's right ankle, which he then pulled from underneath him. Sldae poised his legs in a simple taijutsu defensive stance, before unraveling the chain expertly, saying, "Sorry Loki... hidden weapons, especially the manriki-gusari, the combat chain... are one of my specialities... but I cannot teach you, as you are not in understanding of your darker half... once you embrace it and come to understand it... you will know Serenity... then we'll talk..."
Siren took a look at Patamon. "Hey isn't that Tsukaimon? But orange? (Patamon replies) Huh, no? Oh, you are different!" Siren then dragged Nazia to the wardrobe room to pick out a dress. "You look very exotic so I think we need bright colours!" Siren took out a lime green dress, hot pink dress, and baby blue dress. "Here pick one of these dresses to change into and come down for dancing and dinner, Patamon can have this little bow tie!" Siren left Nazia to get dressed and went downstairs to check on the three troublemaker digimon (Dinmon, Ponytailmon, Starmon). They were swimming in the fountains. Siren also brought out an extra dessert plater full of chocolate-covered almonds.
Nazia was choosing a dress, well at least she was trying. "Patamon what color?" asking Patamon.
"I say the Baby blue!"
"Ok thanks Patamon." *floor rumbling* Nazia grabbed her jacket and went out to the main room of the pink mansion and saw that LadyDevimon was there. "Ok what to do??" thought Nazia to herself. But before she knew it, the land started to break and she found herself in woods with Patamon. "Patamon where are we??"
"Well, I guess we are in the woods."
"Just great! I'm not a nature person!"
"You're telling me! I can't fly easily with these damn trees in the the way!" exclaimed Patamon.
Nazia and Patamon sitting on Nazia's head started walking, when her Digivice started beeping. She ran towards the dot. *CRASH* Nazia crashed in Hikaru. "Umm aren't you Hikaru?"
"Once you embrace it and come to understand it... you will know Serenity... then we'll talk..."
Loki laughs, "Ha! I see you're no longer interested in pure fighting!" Loki flips back, chain still attached, and draws his katana. He pulls the chain into range and slices through the chain! He then puts his katana back in its holder, behind him. He then flips back, bringing his feet in front of him to land on Slade's stomach.
Jean, growing bored of the niceities and more afraid of the dresses Siren was holding out, trotted up the stairs. She ran right into Aen (I'm good at running into things!), fell back down a few stairs, and came back up.
"Oy...what's going on up here?" she asked. Then she spotted the new boy and Loki doing something that looked like fencing.
"Hey, cool!" she said. "Agumon! You HAVE to see this!"
Agumon ran upstairs and peeked in. "Uh, what?" he asked. Jean sighed.
"They're fighting! Isn't it cool?"
"Hmm, I guess...but you and I do that all the time!"
"Not with weapons!" She jumped up and down. "GO, BOTH OF YOU!"
Natalie quickly changed out of her dress and wore a black leather jacket with black flaring pants. Under her jacket she wore a white T-shirt with a smiley face on it. She added her sunglasses and said, "Let's party!" Ponytailmon jumped into her arms and was wearing her sunglasses and a matching jacket.
Keimon pops out of nowhere, jumps up and says with an ear raised, "High ear!" He has black shades, and a mini-leatherjacket. "Loki would say thank you, except he's too busy losing to-I mean fighting another martial arts-guy."
Jean, hearing a voice she hadn't heard in a LONG time, did the only thing she knew to do.
She jumped. About five feet in the air. And what happens when you jump under a doorway?
You get hit.
She fell to the ground, but got up quickly, rubbing her head. "Ow... HEY! You're that crazy girl! Er, I shouldn't be saying that... Where have you been?"
A look of anger crosses Slade's face as the katana passes through a portion of his numerous belt chains. He then lashes the remainder out and around this little upstart's neck, and yanks the loop tight around it! He pulls him to him, nearly strangling the boy and says, with pure hatred in his voice, "You had best learn quick, fool! A ninja in training is still far superior to any normal martial artist... And I have been in training since I was 5! I am now 16,... you do the math..." Slade kicks Loki sharply in the chest, knocking the wind out of him... and disgustedly leaves the chain there, and starts walking away, half conscious of someone watching him intently as he fixes his milk white hair into a ponytail...
Loki stands, and after a flick of his wrist, walks out the door, leaving a ponytail floating to the ground.
Jean looked at Natalie, then at Agumon, then out the window.
"WHOA! WICKED! What is that, Agu?" she asked gleefully.
"LadyDevimon, I think," he said, getting ready to fight.
"COOOOL!!! I wonder if she'll-" She was cut short by Ladydevimon crashing through oh, say, an entire side of the house and advancing toward them. "-attack us?"
Jean screamed bloody murder along with Natalie and Ponytailmon. Agumon, after a few seconds, joined in. Except, the two of them were screaming completely different things.
"LET'S FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!" they yelled.
Jean thought fast. 'Okay, Karo, use your brains this time!'
"HEY! We're uh, RESTING! Like good little wee children! Aren't we SWEET?! Especially this one!"
Jean ran down the stairs, waving a pink frilly dress in the air, and yanked it over Siren's head. She dragged him back up and pointed at him.
"SEE?! ISN'T HE JUST THE CUTEST WITTLE ITTY BITTY THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN?!"
"It's not working, Jean," Agumon said.
"Er, I noticed."
Agumon let a flame fly out of his mouth that hit her square on the head, but didn't faze her in the slightest.
"Pepper breath!...?"
"Ugh. Maybe you ARE as useless as Korothing." She turned to LadyDevimon again.
"SO! SINCE WE'RE SO SWEET AND INNOCENT, WILL YOU LEAVE US ALONE NOW?!"
Jean and Agumon froze. Jean closed her eyes and tried to think.
'Ookay, so if we move, she dies. If we don't move, she dies. Why does it always have to be like this??'
Then, careful to stay where she was, she yelled out.
"WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY US?! We didn't do anything! Except, uh, eat your food...and take your clothes...and sleep in your beds...and Loki and that new kid are doing a darn good job of destroying this room... BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WHAT DID WE DO?!"
Nathan looked blankly at LadyDevimon, horrified. Avumon was in a panic, and yelled, "Oh no! It's LadyDevimon! Grab the almonds and run!!!!"
"Avumon! Leave the almonds!"
"Take them! We neeeeeeed them!" Avumon grabed 6 or 7 almonds and stuck them into Nathans pocket.
"Wait! I have an idea! Avumon! Throw the almonds at LadyDevimon and run!"
"Are you crazy? They're ALMONDS!"
"Ok! Keep the almonds! Fight it and run then!"
"Alright! I will! FIERCE SPLASH!" Avumon jumps into the punch bowl and starts spraying it at LadyDevimon, but, obviously, it didn't do anything.
"Is that all you can do?"
"I'M TRYING!!"
"Ooo! Ooo! I have an idea! LadyDevimon!" Nathan yelled. "I'll give you these almonds if you leave us alone!"
"Nathan, first of all, I WANT THE ALMONDS! Second of all, THOSE ARE HER ALMONDS! So I don't think that'll work...so....IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO????"
"I'm trying!"
LadyDevimon said,"Hey bats! Come and send these children and their pathetic digimon to different islands!" She sent an earthquake, causing the continent to break apart into 5 lands. The bats flew and snatched the kids and flew away. LadyDevimon decided to destroy Natalie later.
"S-seperate us? Like...from our Digithings?" Jean grabbed Agumon's claw tentatively. Hey, if they ran into a serpent, she wanted her dinosaur buddy to help her out.
Agumon saw Avumon with the almonds. His eyes started to shine and he drooled all over the floor.
"ALMONDS!" he yelled, rampaging toward Avumon.
"AGUMON! NO!" Jean started to chase him. "He loves almonds," she explained to Nathan as she tried to pull Agumon away from his pocket.
"FOOLISH CHILDREN!" LadyDevimon yelled, raising one arm to cast a...seperating spell thingy.
Jean realized that her little part of the island was with Nathan.
"Great, just what I need. Keep those almonds away from them." Avumon and Agumon were already fighting for them.
"MINE!" Agumon yelled, setting Avumon's tail on fire.
"MY ALMONDS!!! MY ALMONDS!" Avumon fought the almonds away from Agumon and then jumped up to grab the bowl of almonds and run, but, in a harsh realization that the almond bowl wasn't there anymore, he crashed on a rock, which was strange, because as far as he could remember there weren't any rocks in the banquet hall. "What....what happened?" Avumon asked as he looked at the almonds.
"Avumon, I don't think we're in the mansion any more..." He looked around, he was on a beach, and there appeared to be treasure on it.
Agumon was wrestling the air. "C'MON, WE CAN SPLIT THEM! ONLY I GET THEM ALL! YOU GET THE INVISIBLE ONES!"
Jean kicked him to make him stop. "Whoa...wicked... Where are we?" She rubbed her eyes and looked around.
"COOL! Shiny stuff." She bent down and picked up a dubloon-like coin.
"Wow," Agumon said, snapping out of his almond trance. "So, uh, the mansion turned into Paradise Island?"
"No. Um...so... I guess the others are either on this island or on other places, eh? We might as well start to get back."
The moment she started to wander around, a pink shelled Digimon rose out of the water.
"He doesn't look friendly, now does he? WHO IS THAT?!"
"How should I know?" Agumon said, shrugging.
"Some help you are."
Hikaru woke up. She saw her Digimon monster in front of her. "Seikimon! There you are! Where... are we?" asked Hikaru. She looked around. She was surrounded by trees and more trees. She could hear an ocarina playing a weird tune... "This song... it's so annoying," she said.
"I guess. Where are we though?" asked Seikimon.
"Well, we better try and find the others..." Suddenly, Hikaru's Digivice started beaping. "Someone's nearby!!!"
The sky was full of stars and it was very romantic. "Hi, LadyDevimon blasted us to different locations. I was also sent to the flower castle and was saved by another fairy type digimon. So......oh this is a nice place!" Dinmon was feeling wierd, like he knows this place by heart. They were chilling out in the fairy garden when all the fairy digimon put wreaths on him. "Dinmon digivolve to........Fairymon!!!!!" Alas the digimon was a fairy all along!
"Wow! Ok, so you are now Fairymon! Cool what can you do?"
Fairymon jumped into the starry jet black sky. "Star Storm!!!" About ten stars half the size of Siren and Nat came crashing down.
"Too bad, Fairymon was pink! Where are the others? Probably splattered around this digiworld thingy. Time for me to make a wish! *I wish I can find my soul mate*" From the drop of the silver coin Lillymon were surrounding Siren and rubbing his back and cheeks telling him to go to the Starlight castle. They said something about havoc in the Star Kingdom. Ok so they went (let's just say they were all back into thier normal clothes) and found a castle bigger that the mansion. About fifty Starmon came up to them since the little Starmon was sending comets in the sky. "Thanks Siren for helping me get home. Go in there and beat that dragon!"
Jean held up her DigiVice toward the monster, for once using her brain.
"Let's see if this thing will do any good!"
'Shellmon.
Champion Digimon.
Resides in water.'
"Uh..." She and Agumon blinked down at it.
"PEPPER BREATH!" Agumon yelled, setting one strand of his green hair on fire.
"Hey, that reminds me of Siren!" she yelled. "Yay, Agu-" Shellmon quickly spat water out of his mouth and put the fire out. "-mon."
"Well, that didn't work..." he said, trying to think.
"Can't you do what you did before?"
"Huh?"
"You know, when you were Koromon, and you became Agumon? Can't you do that again?" she begged.
"Oh, DigiVolve? I dunno!"
Jean sat down on a rock to think while Agumon tried to Pepper Breath Shellmon to death. Tried, is the key word.
Shellmon, growing bored of this, wrapped his tail around Nathan and Jean, and lifted them into the air.
"WAH! AGUMON! DO SOMETHING!" Jean struggled to get out, but he tightened his grip and shot massive ammounts of water at Agumon.
"PEPPER BREATH! PEPPER BREATH!" Agumon was trying as hard as he could, but nothing was working.
"VIGIDOLVE, OR WHATEVER!"
Now that Loki didn't have to hold back against a human, he decided to unleash his real skill. Seeing bats headed towards him, he decided it was time for an extermination. Ducking and rolling into a side room, he slammed the door into the face of the bats. However, the truth then dawned on him, as he looked as his leather jacket broke up and picked him up. "Arrrgh! I may be leaving, but I'm taking something with me!" In one final leap, he rolled through the door, and threw a boomerang at LadyDevimon. The bladed tip of the boomerang raced right for LadyDevimon's head and... Her hair was seen falling to the ground. "Bite me now!" he said, as the bats picked him up. The bats carried him through the air. Seeing another group of bats carrying something next to him, he looked over expecting to see another person. Instead, Keimon was there, surrounded by bats. As Loki watched, the bats picked and bit at the small digimon. Angered at this overpowering, he swung out with his katana, slcing dozens of the bats down. Instead of fleeing, however, Keimon leapt onto Loki's head, and so both were carried together. They flew for a time, far away from the mansion, from the forest, from the mountains, into a black land. A dark land. They carried him until the reached a castle. "Good thing I have a lighter, we may need a torch soon," Loki muttered. "Good thing I have a lighter, we may need a torch soon," Keimon said. Instead of becoming angered, Loki smiled, glad to see his small creature was back to normal. Moments later, they fell into a dark place. Soon, the bats had left them. Loki looked around, and saw nothing but darkness.
"Ahhhh! Help me Avumon!" "Just a second!! You had 7 almonds...I ate 6...but I don't have any more?? But Agumon didn't get any...then...that must mean..." Avumon looks towards Nathan, then looks closely at his pocket, and he sees a chocolate covered almond fall out and into Shellmon's mouth. "WHAT? SHELLMON ATE IT???"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THE ALMONDS?" Avumon yells, ignoring Nathan completely, "How dare he eat MY ALMONDS! HE WILL PAY!!!" Nathan's digivice suddenly begins to beep. Avumon suddenly glows. Out of nowhere, special effects play and Avumon spins on some sort of wierd disc, and yells... "Avumon! Digivolved to.......Rukamon!!!" The special effects disappear again as quickly as they appeared, and in the place of Avumon, there is a creature that looks like a blue dolphin with teeth and purple stripes. "Drastic actions require drastic reactions....he ate my almond...and do you know what that means? WAR!!! DOLPHIN KICK!" Rukamon lunges at Shellmon and begins kicking him repetitively. "SPIT IT OUT! SPIT IT OUT!" Agumon gasped, horrified. "HE ATE THE LAST ALMOND?! THAT DOES IT!!!" Jean sighed. "I swear, we're going to be strangled to death in a matter of seconds, and they're thinking about ALMONDS. Some partners..." "AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO...GREYMON!" What seemed to be an innocent little dinosaur turned into a MUCH larger dinosaur with a metal-like helment thing and blue stripes. "Whoa...it's Orangeandbluestripedmon!" she yelled. Then she started laughing her head off, which caused Shellmon to tighten his grip again. "Okay okay! Let go of us!" "NOVA FLAME!" Greymon yelled. "NOW COUGH UP THAT ALMOND! ...I always did like toasted almonds..." "WHO CARES ABOUT THE FREAKIN' ALMONDS?! SAVE US, YOU BIG OAF OF A DINOSAUR!"
"Shaking Pulse!!!" A shockwave moves from Rukamon towards Shellmon, the blast enters into Shellmon, stunning him temporarily. Not long enough to get away but certainly enough to force Shellmon open and take back the almond, and Rukamon does just that. "I got the Almond!" Rukamon throws the Almond into the air, jumps up and eats it. "Yum! Ok, you can go no...what the? HOW DARE YOU ATTACK NATHAN! DOLPHIN KICK!" Once again, Rukamon begins kicking Shellmon repetitively. Jagamon was sitting there laughing and talking. He did a little dance and song-"Mwa ha ha! I'm Jagamon...the most evilest of digimon! Not as evil as master Onuwamon! I'm Jagam *slap!*"Ponytailmon and Fairymon hit him in the face. "Man that was annoying!" yelled Fairymon. Jagamon spit out a black flame. "Darkness Fire *pouff*" The flame was the size of a fingernail and did nothing. A portal opened up showing Loki being taken to the dark castle. "Master needs me! Can't move! I need to torture boy *cough*" Jagamon crawls through the portal and it closes. All the digimon jump and shout cheers. Siren and Natalie do a high five. Fairymon and Ponytailmon do it too. They untied the star spirits and were given a gift- a magic crystal key. Natalie put it in her pocket. The little Starmon came up to them and gave thanks and left. Natalie gave Siren a hug and peck on the cheek. Then a voice was heard. "Go away!" Siren looked around and a path opened up to a strange digimon. Siren's digivice read-"Cerebrumon. Type-Virus, Element-Death/Fire, Attack-Gateway to The Underworld/Triple Dog Head Flame" Greymon sighed. "We could have split that..." "WHO CARES ABOUT THE STUPID ALMOND?! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Jean yelled at him. Greymon considered this. Then he launched off, spitting fireballs at Shellmon. "God. I swear, he is pathetic!" she said, struggling to find a way out.
