Episode 29: Speak Of The Devillis!

"...What...what have I become?" he asks, tears in his eyes.

"...Mario?" Flora asks. "...It...will be alright..." Truthfully, she wasn't sure if he would be alright. He seemed to be taking it hard.

"It doesn't matter what's on the outside. It's the inside that counts," Zai spoke quietly to Mario, trying not to make it worse, "if you put that into consideration..."

Syn looked at Meldmon, rather confused, "hello?"

"Hey, Babe, have you seen a Black Cat named Syn around here. I want to know if she won the battle." Meldmon said.

Soon a Hand was put apon Mario's Shoulder. It was Evander. "Thanks for saving me back there. If it wasn't for your Dragonic powers I would be dead right now." Evander said.

Mario doesn't seem to notice. He just now stares at his hands. He knew it was impossible, but it was true. Somehow, he had become a dragon...

"Mario?" Flora asks again.

He is still silent. "I...have become a monster..."

"Mario, you're not a monster...you're a dragon..."

"Im a monster," he restates.

Flora is silent. Then she hugs him.

Mario looks incredibly surprised.

"Mario...to me, you'll never be a monster..."

"...Flora..." A few seconds later, he returns the hug, and his wings fold around the two of them without him realizing what his wings were doing.

Palmon can't help but shed a tear. "This is so sweet..."

Gatomon walks over to Syn. "Well, Syn, it appears that you finally digivolved into LadyDevimon. Congratulations."

Agumon and Guilmon don't say anything, but Guilmon goes back to digging pancakes out of Mario's backpack. "Mmmm...blueberry..." he mutters randomly.

"I was going to eat those..." Syn muttered, glancing at Guilmon, then looks at Meldmon, smiling a little, "uh, surprise? She won. I'm BlackGatomon's digivolution..." she then looked at Gatomon, "thanks! I can't wait to be able to congratulate you too... if it'll be a good turnout, which it will. I think, I'm sure?" she started to sound confused.

Zai looked at the Mario and Flora for a moment, "cute?"

Meldmon's Jaw Dropped. "YOU"RE SYN!? You're beautifull!" Meldmon yelled. Tameron just smacked his forhead after hearing Meldmon. "Good Greif!"

Koromon: You saved my Tamer. A Monster would never do that.

Ladybugmon: Your Freinds are here for you, We'll help you to control these powers better.

Frimon: Yeah, I can't think of anything incouraging to say.

Jessica sat down beside Mario. "This Digimon Adventure is anything but ordinary." Jessica said. Frimon hopped up and down. "Next Crest! Next Crest!" Frimon yelled. Tsunomon went over there with Frimon. "DUH! A Tag has to Glow first!" Tsunomon said in a Bad mood. "Plus we need to be here for Mario. We need to Comfort him." Motimon said. Frimon stopped bouncing and sighed. "OK."

--

Meanwhile....

A young boy around the age of 14 quietly....well ok not so quietly walked through the black terrain of Devilis the shadowed ground leaving charcoal and ash marks on his green shoes. His Silver,white hair glew in te light from his firey surroundings. "Ahhh,it's nice to be away from those stupid bunkers....Hunh" He blinked a little as a what he thought was a portal appear infront of his being. His Violet eyes gleaming in the emerald light it gave off. "Whoa whats tha-aaaaaaahyt!"Tsuko being as clumsy as he was, had tripped over nothing but Oxygen as usual. feeling a slight breeze blow through his body he fell through the Portal not knowing where it would go.

----

Suddenly, Mario releases Flora, finding himself quivering a little and looking in pain.

"Mario?" Flora asks, a little confused.

Suddenly, he reverts back into his human form. As it happens, Mario screams heavily, panting between screams.

When the transformation was over, he collapses onto the ground.

"MARIO!" Flora yells as she rushes to him. "Are you okay?"

"Fine...but flip! My body aches all over..." he mutters.

Evander ran over to him. "Mario, you okay man?" He asked worried.

"That looked painful..." Zai blinked.

"Uh... thanks?" Syn blinked a little, staring quite vacantly at Meldmon, then hears Mario screaming, and looks towards Mario, "he okay?"

"Fine...but how could I have slept through such a torture? It was like being pierced by a sword in every square inch of my body...oddly, I kinda miss the tail..." he adds.

Flora can't help but smile a little. "Oh, you goofball," she says as she hugs his limp form.

"Flora...you're hurting me..."

Evander runs in a circle around Mario. "OOH!!! Look at my cape!" Evander yelled ahowing off his fashon.

a bright flash.

It was happening again. The strange marble and all of the Tags float up into the air in a compass-like design. However, this time goes differently. Zai's Crest glows brightly before shooting a beam at the marble. Upon contact, the marble seems to project an image of the Crest of Balance before it fades. Another beam is then shot from the marble to a Tag. The Tag glows brightly as the compass points with the glowing Tag toward the Beachlands. Then the Tags return to their owners.

The glowing Tag was Jessica's.

Jessica: Wow, It's my turn. Also it's a Chance to battle Shellmon again.

Evander sighed. "Ironic, it's near Water."

"We should get Mario to your place first, Auggie-Poo," Palmon teases.

"Here, let me help, Mario," Flora offers.

"No...I got a better idea..." He pulls out his Digivice and presses the button on the side.

DIGIVOLUTION

"What the? ...Guilmon digivolve to...Growlmon!"

"Agumon digivolve to...GeoGreymon!"

"Hey! What happened?!? Did those pancakes make me digivolve?" Growlmon asks.

"No...that was Mario..." Gatomon says with a sigh. "He obviously wants you two to take him to Auggie-Poo's House." She then snickers a little.

"Yes, we should go now," Mario repeats, attempting to stand, but he soon falls.

GeoGreymon sighs before going over. He picks Mario up and holds him like a baby in his arms. "Save what energy you have left, Mario. I'll get you there."

"Thanks," he says before falling asleep.

Growlmon sighs and picks up Flora, Gatomon, and Palmon. Then the two Champions head for the house.

Evander and the crew head back.

Zai sighed a little, "do you want to dedigivolve, so I'll carry you, or do you have enough energy to keep that level a little longer?" she looked at Syn, who thought for a few moments.

"I think I have enough to keep me in this state to reach Augie's house..." Syn nodded a little, and lifted up Zai, "you carry me around all the time, so I'll return the favor," she smiled a little, and lifted into the air, to follow the others.

"I feel... like a little kid... and now I want down... Zai muttered, "I can fly too, you know..."

"So? I don't care!" Syn smiled.

Fwoom' the sound echoed around in the air. The Green portal

Soon, they arrive at the house.

"I'm coming," they hear Greymon say after Flora knocked on the door. Upon opening it, she looks a bit upset. "ANOTHER injury?!? Just what are you all doing out there? Auggie-Poo, are you sure you can take care of yourself and your friends, because this is getting ridiculous!"

Agumon sighed. "Fighting Evil." Agumon said.

Syn tripped over her feet, suddenly seeing someone ahead, though she was flying, and stumbled forwards a little, Zai easily hopping out of her digimon's arms at this point, just barely quick enough to see Syn fall to the ground with an 'oomph!'

Zai blinked a few times, hearing screaming, and walked to the source, wings? her eyes narrowed, "hey, idiot, shut up!" she shouted over the screaming, "who are you, why are you screaming and..." she looked at Puffmon, "cute!" she spoke aloud, "oops...uh... you didn't hear me say that..." she sweatdropped, "calm down, and tell me why you have black wings, and are screaming at a puffball..."

Jessica sighed. "So, I have 2 ways to get the Ultimate Digivolution?" Jessica asked. Frimon hopped up on the couch with her. "It appears so." Frimon said. Evander looked at his Tag. He was wondering what his Crest name was going to be. "Well I thinkyour crest might be beauty." Evander said. Jessica blushed.

Syn tripped over her feet, suddenly seeing someone ahead, though she was flying, and stumbled forwards a little, Zai easily hopping out of her digimon's arms at this point, just barely quick enough to see Syn fall to the ground with an 'oomph!'

He looked at her wide eyed, after thinking a few seconds. "Aaaaaaaah! Oh wait you said don't scream didn't you? Sorry I just..."

"Hi!!!"Puff mon jumped towards him making Tsuko fall backwards after just sitting up.

"Gwaaah!Sorry,again what are you? and why is there a uuum"

"Puffmon!"

"Puffmon on my, chest"

As Mama Greymon takes Mario inside, GeoGreymon, Growlmon, and Flora follow her inside.

Palmon and Gatomon stay behind.

"What is this?" Gatomon asks. "Another Digi-Destined?"

"Ooooooh, so thats whats going on, I thought the heat from Devilis had burned a whole through the space time continum thingy." He said as he brushed himself off and picked up his digimon. He contracted his wings shaking them a little to brush off any sand. "Yes I'm a fallen angel and no I don't mind following." He began to walk with her. " Hi Syn, Zai, Oh yeah I'm Tsuko and as you guessed this is Puffmon"

"Why do you seem all... weird?" Syn pointed out, yawning a little, "I mean, Zai told me before fallens aren't usually nicey nice!"

Zai sighed, "he's a weird one, alright. I can already tell..." she shook her head, "nice to meet you, Tsuko and Puffmon," she shook her head.

Syn squirmed in Zai's arms a little, "does he get a taggy thing too? Oooh... he didn't get one yeeet.... when'll he get one? Will he get one?" she started to talk more, but suddenly began to fall asleep mid-sentence.

Zai sighed, finally reaching Augie's house, and knocked on the door, to see if one of the digidestined, or Greymon would answer, "uhg... I hope they don't kill me for bringing this guy here..."

"I'm Evander."

"I'm Jessica."

"I'm Ladybugmon."

"I'm Gummymon."

"I'm Koromon."

"I'm Frimon, and this is Tsunomon, Motimon and Tameron and Meldmon." Frimon said.

Evander went over to MamaGreymon. "Give him the same medicine that Tyrannomon gave me, 'Cure-all-vitamins.'It'll cure Mario in seconds." Evander said.

"I'm Zaiaku...Zai, whatever, a fallen angel, which I'm assuming you are too?" Zai blinked, vacantly staring at him, "and you're in the digital world... remember the cards and stuff about digimon? And... don't go into denial, I said this was a dream, and I'm pretty sure I've struck every base that would wake me up, so... I'm certain that it's real. Puffmon equals digimon. Your digimon."

"I'm Syn!" Lady Devimon stood up and started walking towards them, then Zai turned, to stare at her wide-eyed.

"De-digivolve. Now. You'll make the kid scream then have a freakin' heart attack!" she shouted at Syn.

"Oh... right" Syn sighed, as she began to shrink, and became a small black puppy-like fluffball. Salamon. She had drained enough energy to be unable to turn into BlackGatomon too soon. Quickly, she hopped up into Zai's arms.

Evander sighed. "Never mind I have 4 left over." Evander said. "Give these to Mario."

"Oh, he doesn't need a Cure-All," Mama Greymon says. "He's just exhuasted. All he needs is some bedrest." She then notices the new Digi-Destined. "Oh my, another one? Well, come in. My door is open to all."

It was MetalTyrannomon! He must have followed the group from the canyon. Since the Crest of Balance had been taken, his duty of guarding the slab must have been over. "As for his Tag...Evan, hand me yours."

Evander gave him his tag.

"ooh..." Motimon said.

Digivolution.

Motimon Option Digivolve to...Pawnchessmon!

------------------------------------------

Koromon Digivolve to....Agumon!

Digivolution.

Gummymon Digivolve to....Terriermon!

Digivolution.

Frymon Digivolve to....Leormon!

-----------------------------------

Evander went and patted Tsuko on the back. "I'm, A Human, Jessica is a Mermaid, Mario is a Shape-shifting dragon, Flora is a Demi-felinis, and you and Zai are fallen angels. Digimon has gone intergalactic. I come from earth, Digimon is a cartoon there so i didn't freak out when i saw a real one. and those over there just now Digivolved. Does that clear things up?" Evander asked.

"Wooooooooow,big hoooouse! Helloooooooooooooo!" He shouted to through the home oblivious to everything around him. He continued to alk not seeing any as if he was a moving daydream." UUumf!, he bumped into a large orange tinted creature. He looked up to see a large horned dinosaur digimon."aaaaaaah!" He bolted out the door."ooomf!" He had now ran into something else.When he saw that Puffmon had drawn back a little from the obstacle infront of them, Tsuko looked up again, to see another large digimon. "Aaaaaaah!" He ran back toowards the house puff clinging in his arms.

"Evan, you should wait until he asks a question," MetalTyrannomon says. "Feeding too much information at once, especially info that a person isn't expecting, will definitely make some of it slip by." He then takes the Tag in the fingers of one hand, holding it by the string. He takes his other hand and grips the string below his other fingers. Suddenly, in a flash of bright light, he pulled his hands apart. He now held a Tag in each. He hands Evan's back and then gives Tsuko his own. "It's the least I can do," MetalTyrannomon says with a smile.

Zai looked at Tsuko, then seemed to answer a question that wasn't even asked, "no, most fallen angels don't act like him... they're more... dark and violent..." she sighed, "Tsuko, calm down. If we're all acting calm around them, they aren't going to hurt you..."

"Keep it down..." Syn grumbled a little.

Agumon chased after him. "WAIT! NEW KID! WAIT!!!!" Agumon yelled. Evander grabbed the 2 tags and ran. "No Agumon, you'll make it worse!" Evander yelled. Evander saw him running. "WAIT! TSUKO! Ahh!" Evander tripped over a rock. Agumon then ran over him and back into the house.

Evander used the Restraining Device on his Digivice 01 to trip Tsuko. "Hold it!" Evander yelled.

Tsuko ran back around Evan and into the house stopping when he did a face plant into one of the walls. 'SMACK!' He hit it so hard he was suprised that he didn't dent the wall."Ooow cripes that hurt!" Now over puffmon he looked at it. "I forgot you were in my arms are you ok?" he asked puffmon who was now on the floor beside him.

Zai sighed, and walked over to Tsuko, her fingers trying to grab one of his wings to stop him from looking at another of the digimon, other than puffmon, and freaking out.

Evander walked up to Tsuko. "Here, you'll need this. Trust me, it'll make your Digimon more powerful with a crest. if you have any qwestions about Digimon, press the options button on your digivice, you'll see Digidex, and Digi-pedia, it'll give you explanations about Digimon, the Digital world and ETC. You have a Responsibility now to save this place from destruction. So stop running away from everything you see. You're just like Joe Kiddo off of TV." Evander explained.

MetalTyrannomon soon goes into the house and starts talking with his brother's family and Allomon.

Evander walks into the room with Mario to check on him.

Mario was asleep, but otherwise fine. Flora was sitting in a chair next to him, watching over him.

Growlmon and Greymon were gone. In their places was Gigimon and Koromon. They must have used so much energy that they ended up degenerating to their In-Training form.

Flora looks up when Evan enters. "Oh...Evan...it's you..." She goes back to looking at Mario.

"Yeah, When are you guys getting your crests, I'm worried because the Digimon Ruler hasn't attacked in a while. She must be making a master plan. Is he going to be ok? I'm worried about multiple things." Evander said. Evander went and sat in a chair beside flora.

Flora syas nothing for a few moments. "...There are things I'm more concerned about..." she says as she strokes Mario's sleeping head. It was obvious now. She was head-over-heels for him.

"Well, I'm worried about the whole Digital World, the fate of it now lies in our hands. And with the Struggles wirth the battles we've been having lately. I'm just not sure we can beat the Digimon Ruler. I'll just be glad when/if we get it over with." Evander said.

"I understand that this is a great responsibility on your shoulders."

Flora freezes. This voice sounded strange, like it was in a completely different language, but at the same time, in perfect English. What was even more scary, it was even in Felinician tongue! It was as if in one single statement, the voice managed to say the same thing in multiple languages simutaneously.

But that wasn't what scared Flora the most.

Slowly, she and the Digimon turn to look at the source of the voice.

Mario was sitting upright. He was still human, but his eyes were the same red as they were from when he went wild as a dragon.

Evander looks around. "Mario, are you playing a trick on us? Please say yes." Evander said a little weirded out as well.

Ladybugmon and the others came in. "What voice was that? Evander did you here that?" Jessica asked.

Ladybugmon: What if it's a ghost!? (o_o)

"I am not this friend of yours, this Mario, I presume?" the voice says from Mario.

"...Then...who are you?" Gigimon asks, starting to grow fearful.

"You can all relax. I mean you no harm," the voice says, Mario's hand easily placing itself on Gigimon's hand in a calming way.

"Who are you?" Flora restates from Gigimon.

"...I am the spirit that has existed in the body of your Mario since his birth. I am the dragon Werincus."

"So that's why....Mario's not a Dragon, he's just possessed by one. And is that why you come out every now and then, if Mario's in danger?" Agumon said.

Evander shrugged. "*cough* Yu-gi-oh! *cough*"

Flora elbows Evan in the side. "Shut up!" she says through clenched teeth.

"Not exactly...you see, Mario has been tapping into my powers whenever he gets incredibly angry at something or someone. Because he woke me up while I was still sleeping, he ended up provoking my rage, and caused all the past riots, which I apologize for."

"Wait. You've been sleeping?" Koromon asks.

"Yes. You see, about thirteen Earth years ago, I was killed by a rouge dragon whom I was trying to track down and capture. He then warped my spirit to a place far from where he killed me so that I could not use my magic to restore myself. Without enough energy to return to my body to restore myself, I had only one option, and that was to seal my soul in that of a person. I had fortunately been warped into an Earth hospital, and in there I infused my soul into a newborn child. However, to restore my energy, I have laid dormant for the last thirteen years to recover my strength. It was only recently, however, that your Mario was able to accidentally tap into my powers. If I had woken before that happened, then perhaps I would not have instinctively went on a destructive spree. It was dragon instincts, so that I am to blame for, but no one is in a good mood when they're cranky, am I right?"

Flora and the Digimon couldn't help but agree.

"It was after the second time that I was able to awaken completely. It was after you hugged me." Mario's hand then points at Flora.

She can't help but blush. "Well, you see, I didn't know how I could calm you down, and-"

"No need to explain. After you hugged me, I felt your love for the boy, and I managed to calm down enough to come to my senses. Afterward, I was able to wake up from my long slumber, and here we are now."

Ladybugmon layed on the bed. "So, We should all be greatfull to you for saving Flora." Ladybugmon said. Pawnchessmon nodded. "uh-huh." Pawnchessmon said. "I'm sorry I Dark Digivolved and attacked you.. You see whenever Evander shows a negative emotion to the EXTREME, one of his Digimon Dark Digivolves. Ladybugmon became Hornetmon out of Rage, and I became SkullGreymon out of Fear." Agumon explained. Evander lowerd his head. "Then I had them attack you on porpse to get you to calm down." Evander said sorry for the order.

"There is no need for apologies," the voice says. "I understand everything about what causes the growth of Digimon. Our species have been examining your world for years now."

"So why are Dragons mythical on Earth. Is it that Dragons are Endangerd or something?" Jessica asks.

"I'd rather not go into detail on that. The best I can sum up is that we exist in a dimension different from the one Earth exists in. It was probably during some rips in the dimensional boundaries from long ago through which we were regarded as myths," the voice says. "Listen, this is enough small talk. I do not have much time before I use up the energy your friend has accumulated while sleeping, so just listen. It is true that your friend will require practice with tapping into my powers. Therefore, I want all of you to try and help. The easiest way is to get him angry. Now that I have awakened, he shouldn't go into blind rages anymore, and he should now be in control after transforming. However, he is as we called a 'hatchling', and he needs a lot of work getting control of his new abilities. I trust that we will talk again another time, and do not worry about Mario. We share the same body, so our souls will always be in contact." Mario's eyes lose their red glow, and he falls backwards and back onto the pillow, sleeping again.

Jessica nodded. "That explains it. A dimensional Rift from another Dimension opened up in the medieval times. Well, you learn something new everyday. " Jessica said. Ladybugmon started shaking Mario. "Mario, wake up. you've been alseep for a long time." he said while shaking him gently.

Flora sighs. "That dragon said that he was draining off the energy that Mario recovered, so now he's in pretty bad shape. Along with all of the transformation and everything, you should cut him a break...I sure have..."

"You mean we have to wait even longer for Mario to be recoverd?! Why Don't we just go, We'll come back as soon as we get her Crest. Is that OK?" Ladybugmon asked. Jessica banged him on his head Anime style. "Have more Compassion you impationt beetle!" Jessica yelled. "Keep it down, you'll get him mad!" Evander whisped. "Is that ok? I mean as bad shape as he is in we could be here a while. So that might be a good idea." Evander said.

"We are not leaving him," Flora says, gripping Ladybugmon by his shell, her eyes showing amity for Mario and at the same time anger at Ladybugmon for even THINKING of ditching Mario.

Ladybugmon layed down. "We're never gonna leave." Ladybugmon said. Evander went into Agumon's room and slept for an hour. "Hey, uh, what were you doing when you came to Digiewolrd Flora? I was going over to EvanDER's house for him to show me his art." Jessica said. Ladybugmon opened his eyes for a moumant. "BURPING TURTLES!" He yelled in his sleep.

"I was on Felinica, playing with-" Suddenly, Flora stops, going wide-eyed. "Erica!" she says before bringing her hands to her mouth. "Oh dear...I left her in the forest...if she found a way here...oh, would she be sore...and mad...you do not wish to see Erica mad..."

"Relax! One munet in the Real world is one day here. You've only been gone for 12 muinets." Jessica said.

Jessica looked at Ladybugmon and then to Flora. "Don't be mad at her, she's just a baby and her mesurement of time goes alot slower then ours do." Jessica said. Pawnchessmon poked her shoulder. "I think you mean he and his." Pawchessmon said. Jessica giggled. "No, it's LADYbugmon." Jessica said. "Well, let's ask him when he wakes up." Pawnchessmon replied. "No, He'll/She'll be offended that we don't know." Jessica said. "Flora what do you think?" Pawnchessmon asked.

"Um...I'd hate to interrupt..." MetalTyrannomon interjects, "but times have changed since the Original Digi-Destined. Since then, time in the Digital World has synchronized with that of the other worlds. So in other words, one day here, is one day anywhere."

Jessica: OH CRAP I REMEMBER THAT EPISODE!!!! MY school is gonna get mine and Evander's parents in jail.

Leormon: No, before we left I left a note saying you temporarly transford.

Ladybugmon woke up. "GI Joe, Barbie." Ladybugmon mumbled. Jessica and her Digimon fell over Anime style. "OK, now I'm even more Genderly confused." Jessica said. Gabumon started giggling. "I don't think that came out the way you meant it." Gabumon said. "WEll, opinon?" Leormon asked Flora for her opinion on Ladybugmon's Gender.

"MY opinion, is that after this long, Erica is going to be really desperate for finding me. And if she reaches the Digital World...just know that if the person I was when I first arrived was bad, just wait until you meet a true Felinicus." Flora shivers a little. "I'm afraid that she might try to kill everyone...and Mario..."

"KILL US ALL!" Ladybugmon yelled. "YELLOW SQWUIRTER!!!" Ladybugmon yelled sqwuirting yellow icky juce in the air. it landed on Flora. "Huh? Wow a New attack I never new I had." Ladybugmon said. "What gender are you?" Jessica asked. "Boy? Girl? me no know."

Everyone fell over anime style.

Flora twitches a little before dropping Ladybugmon. "Excuse me while I get rid of this juice before it sets..." She then leaves the room.

"I'm a male. I'm a Female." Ladybugmon said. Leormon tried not to giggle. "A Genderly confused digimon!" Leormon laughed. "Maby Evan didn't give him a gender." Jessica said. "never mind."

Before Flora disappears around the corner, she sighs. "Well, if we ever find a public bathhouse, IT is not bathing with us." She then rushes into the bathroom for the next twenty minutes.

Evander walks into the room. "*yawn* That was refreshing...eh?" Evander says then looking over to Mario. "he's still asleep?"

Jessica: What gender is Ladybugmon?

Evander giggled. "Female! were you 5 talking about that the whole time I was asleep?" Jessica nodded. "Well a little bit."

Ladybugmon: I'm a girl!? But I feel boyish.

Evander: Well then you're a Tomboy. Is Mario gonna sleep all day?

Jessica took 4 steps back. "You said it not me."

A knock is suddenly heard on the door.

Greymon, who had came in to give Mario a pill to hlep him recover his energy, turns around. "Now who could that be?" "Evander has a pwetty wittle watch on his Digivice 01." Agumon said. Evander didn't notice because he was red in the face from laughing. "Ladybugmon is a boy! I can't beleive you fell for that. " Evander said. Agumon went to the door with his Mom.

The door is opened to reveal a Lopmon carrying a black bag with a flap covering the contents.

"Excuse me, but do you mind if I stay here for a few hours?" she asks. "I'm a traveler and I just wish to stop long enough to rest up and restock my food supplies?"

"Oh, but of course!" Greymon says, oepning the door wider.

The Lopmon nods and walks in. She sets her bag down and immediately collapses on the floor. "Boy, are my feet tired..."

Terriermon came to the door as well. "Oh, Greymon I think that your mirrior needs cleaning. I look Brown and have 2 extra horns!" Terriermon said ahcoked.

Koromon chuckles. "She's not a mirror! She's a Lopmon!"

Lopmon nods from her position on the carpet. "It's true. I'm a Lopmon."

Tameron runs over. "Forget the jokes that Lopmon must have come into contact with the Digimon Ruler." Tameron said. "Oh and it's 4:00pm to Mario's time qwestion." Meldmon said looking at a Digital clock on their cable box.

Ladybugmon ran out and accidently ran over the Lopmon. "I'm a Boy! I found out my gender!" Ladybugmon yelled.

Lopmon yelps out as Ladybugmon runs over her. "Ow! Watch the ears! That really hurt!" She then turns to Tameron. "Digimon Ruler? Who's that? I'm just a traveling Digimon."

Ladybugmon looked down at the Lopmon. "OOPS! Sorry." Ladybugmon said. Tameron sat down beside the Lopmon. "She's a Human who puts Red-Marks on Digimon useing red stones." Tameron said.

Evander walkd in and saw the lopmon. "Why do Terriermons always seem to attract Lopmon? Oi." Evander asked. Agumon ran into the kitchen for something.

"Yeah, Shellmon, he did so much damage to our Digimon Partners that the Dedigivolved to their In-Tranining forms. And then there were some around here that had the powers of Gods. Have you seen any around here?" Evander asked.

Evander then slammed his fist on the ground. "Poor Jijimon." Evander said. "If I find her there will be nothing left of her. "

Terriermon: Me too, she doesn't stand a chance.

Evander: Actually she's been giving us a run for our money. Untill now, now with the Crests on our side she'll lose.

"I think I've also heard something about these Crests," Lopmon says. "What do they do, exactly?"

Evander sighed. "They get your Digimon to Ultimate Level. Blue Cards work too. Like this." Evander said showing lopmon her blue card. Agumon came in with a crock pot full of Veggie soup. Agumon set it ddown on the coffie table. He poured some into a bowl. "Hey Lopmon are you hungry?" Agumon asked.

"Thanks," Lopmon says as she takes a sip. "I see. Must be pretty hard to find them," she says, getting the topic back onto the Crests.

"So how will you find the Crests?" Lopmon asks after several bites. "I doubt there's a map or anything that'll tell you where the Crests are, right?"

"The tags point in the derection, we'll be on our way but one of our freinds is tired so we are resting. he sould be up in 3 hours." Evander said.

Evander and his Digimon put their bowls in the sink.

"The Tags point you to the Crests?" Lopmon asks. "Huh. That's pretty neat. So where are they pointing now?"

Jessica answerd. "Coela Beach. My Crest is there."

Lopmon nods. "Alright."

A few minutes later, Lopmon puts down the soup. "Well, I better not waste any more of your time. I feel more rested now, so I think I'll go ahead and stock my supplies and leave."

Greymon hands Lopmon her bag. "Here, I already filled it for you."

"Thanks," Lopmon says as she takes the bag. "Well, it was nice to meet all of you. I hope I see you all again," she says before walking out the door.

Everyone: Bye.

Evander walks into the room where Mario is again. "I know I'm being a bit impationt but he's been asleep for a full night of sleep." Evander said under his breath.

Jessica sat down on the couch. Jessica thought of something and ran out of the house. "LOPMON! WAIT UP! I've got something for you!" Jessica yelled.

Lopmon stops and turns around. "Yeah? Is there something I can help you with?"

Jessica runs over and gives Lopmon 5 HP Disks. "Here, in case you get attacked by a Red-Marked Digimon." Jessica said.

Lopmon is silent. "Thanks..." She takes them and then continues onward.

5 minuets later Jessica comes back inside. "I gave that Lopmon some HP disks." Jessica said.

Evander then noticed something shocking about his Digivice, the Scanner, it was gone! "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!!!!??!?!???!!?!?!?" Evander yelled. Jessica ran over to see what made Evander enraged. "Your scanner....it's gone!" Jessica said. Well that event made Jessica look down as well. "Mine's short-circuited!" Jessica yelled. "DARN NOW OUR DIGIMON CAN"T REACH ULTIMATE!" Evander yelled. "It probably happend when you got attacked by your Digimon when you were protecting Mario, and mine is full of veggie soup." Jessica said. Evander went upstairs to Agumon's room and started punching and kicking the bed and shouting. "NOW THE CRESTS ARE ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!" Evander yelled throwing a pillow up against the wall. Ladybugmon was unaware of Evander's emotions at the momant and that's why he didn't Dark Digivolve.

Tsuko stopped when he felt something touching his wing. He shrivled up a little shuddering as if in deep thought of a past event. " guuh!......" He flinched as if that certain place on his shadowed feathery wings was a pressure point." ah-ah ow ah..." That seemed to be all he could say which stopped his frantic screaming.

Zai blinked a few times, "well, it shuts him up.." she sighed, "now, will you listen to me? I'll let go if you stop screaming..." she spoke calmly, "will you do that?" her eyes narrowed, "Syn, be good, but test him..." a smirk slipped onto her face.

Syn's eyes just lit up when she heard Zai say that, "really?! Yay!" she shouted so loudly that it almost resembled the screaming she had done when she had been at the canyon, and darted to the front of Ozu, trying to hop at his face.

Zai blinked a little, strange little digimon I have... she's a virus type, yet acts like a four year old... she shook her head.

"Guuh,Yaah..." he nodded slighltly but not very noticeably. He saw the small digimon jump towards his face." Guuuuhg...shiv..er..dow...sp..ine" he shivered in his place,puffmon slightly giggling on the ground. "Guuh,I...Pro...Mise"

"Good, okay Syn, stop now," Zai smirked about her little victory, and heard her digimon 'awww', before a little Salamon hopped into her arms. "So, now that's settled, let's go see the others, or next time, I'll let Syn tackle your face while I'm pinching your wings, okay?" her eyes glared at him.

"phew that was awkward..." He still twitched a little. As he leaned over Puffmon to pick him up he noticed that somehow in the whole mess he had taken the tag from Evan somehow.It flashed a little."oooh,it's shiny what is it???" he questioned picking up his fluffy digimon. He gazed at it blankly wondering how to activate or turn it on or whatever it did.He didn't see any specific buttons so he just poked it trivialy a few times hoping a neon sign would pop uup telling him it did something.

"Oh, god, you're an idiot," Zai smacked her forehead lightly, "it's the tag Syn mentioned earlier, someday, it'll point you to where you'll get a crest that will make your digimon digivolve to ultimate..." she paused, and looked at Syn, "puffball is a... fresh, right?"

"Yup, I think so!" Syn nodded, "then with your digivice, it'll become an in-training, then rookie, then champion. That's when you'll need your crest to get further!" she paused, "digivolving is when a digimon changes it's form to be stronger, but if we lose enough energy, we de-digivolve, like going back forms.... um... wait..." she looked at Tsuko with a trivial expression, "where's your digivice?"

"Oh so thats what this fascinating little trinket happens to be...coool. So now I understand..." He puased a moment looking at puffmon then towards Zai and Syn then eventually just stared blankly at a nearby wall with 'CONFUSED DUMMIE!' written on his forehead. "Soooo...what's a digi,divi,mice?"

"It's Digivice Tsuko-Sama" Puffmon said in a serious but cute voice."It's used to help me digivolve."

"That's just too adorable," Zai shook her head a little, "it can't be legal to try to be serious with such a cute voice, it makes it even cuter..." she spoke lowly, as if to herself. "Digivice. It might look like this, or similar to one of the other's," she mumbled, pulling her own digivice out for an example, "you have one, right? All digidestined do..."
