"I don't really care how they were made I'm just wondering how we will get accross." SnowAgumon said. Evander looked around. Evander sighed and looked around him. "How are we supposed to get anywhere with all of these holes?" Evander asked. Terriermon looked at Mario. "hmm....Piggy back ride." Terriermon said.
Mario glares at Terriermon, his expression alone shooting down Terriermon's idea. "No. Besides, I can't carry some of the heavier members of our group," he says, eyeing Guilmon.
"What?" Guilmon says while shrugging.
"Anyway, the holes aren't too close together. We should be able to walk between them as long as we are careful," he says before beginning down the path slowly.
Evander and the crew started walking.
"You know, Jessica and Evander are kind of my Mommy and Daddy now." Ladybugmon said. Evander and Jessica blushed.
"Umm...well...we're not really married." Evander said. "Nor could we get married at our ages." Jessica finished.
Ladybugmon sighed. "OK. But you are going to get married when you grow up right?" Ladybugmon asked. Evander nodded. "Yup, as soon as I turn 18 I'll pop the question." Evander said.
"But there is a chance of you guys getting really mad at eachother and breaking up." Gabumon said. Evander looked at Gabumon.
"Well we will just have to try not too." Evander said. Jessica didn't hear a word they said after marrige. What if she had to move again. No matter how she tried to talk her parrent's out of it she just couldn't have gotten to move. "I'm really glad I moved to Earth now, but I wasn't back then. It was destiny." Jessica thought.
Rei rolls her eyes. "Aww, isn't that sweet. Puppy Love, Oh we're going to get married when we grow up! *Sticks her tong out* That's Childish, You'll get into a big fight and then you'll break up and get hooked up with someone else." Rei said.
Jessica shot Rei an angry glare. "That will never happen!" Jessica yells.
Zai snickered, with a slightly evil tone to it, "at least I don't have to worry about falling in," she flexed her wings a little holding onto Syn.
"Hum-de-dum!" Syn purred a little, her tail twitching occasionally, "I wonder... do you think that the person who dug these will fill them all with tuna so that I can eat them?" she looked towards Gatomon, "wouldn't that be fun, Gatomon? We'd have bunches of nummy!"
Zai looked at Evan, "actually... she's got a point. There's a low likliness anyone in 'love' at your age will not still be in love when you're eighteen."
"Yup, Instead of Jessica, you'll be married to someone named Cyndy or Susan." Rei said. "Anyone who would marry you would be suicidal." Evander said to Rei.
Evander then looked over to Zai. "Shut up, what would a person who had little friendship until now know about Love?" Evander asked really ticked now. Agumon looked shocked at what Evander said, It was really uncalled for.
Jessica agreed. Gabumon looked around. And they walked over to see if there was any sighn of a Crest Shrine.
"Evander..." Zai's tone growled out, "you do realize that on my planet, there isn't really a punishment for attempting to kill one another. Therefore, if you say anything remotely similar, I'd like to tell you now that you won't be breathing unless you can fight like a fallen," her eyes flickered, with a deadly glare.
"Aww... I wanted tuna..." Syn sighed, and looked at Evan, "Evan, get a reality check. Even me, in my nummy world of yummy candy-stuffs keeps a tab on how unrealistic stuff like that!" she nodded some, "now... where'd the milk fountain go?" she looked around and sighed, realizing she had been daydreaming.
Evan ran, and punched Syn Anime style. "You wanna take that back you sugar rushed feline!" Evander fussed.
"Fine, I'll fight you. But I won't fight one of my freinds, There for Terrriermon shall fight Syn. Not to mention that in 'War of the Worlds' the only way that Earth won the fight was that the Aliens didn't have an immune system to all of the bacteria on Earth so they died as soon as they breathed the air. So I'll be a Monmon's Uncle if I fight a space Alien. " Evander said. "Yeah. I take Evander's side on what he says. So while Flora gets her crest you and I will fight. Whoever Devolves first loses." Terrrermon said. Jessica then stepped in. "Hold on, Your Digimon can't evolve to Ultimate like Zai's can So I'll fight Her. Leormon VS BlackGatomon." Jessica said. "Are you gonna take that from him...Batwing girl?" Rei said.
"Will you cut it out???" Flora yells to Evan. "What if the Digimon Ruler attacks? You just want to go ahead and weaken each other in a petty contest? You're just asking to be killed!" She then stomps off, nearly falling in a hole here and there.
"...Er...I think I'll go make sure that she's alright..." Mario says before running after her, disappearing after her in the bushes ahead.
Gatomon is quick to block the path. "Maybe we should let Flora cool down...she seems...upset as of recently..."
"Fine. But Jessica wouldn't stop untill she found me back in that cave where she got her crest of affection. A love like that doesn't die." Evander says before storming off.
They continue to walk. Looking around for signs of a Crest shrine.
They didn't get too far away from the bush that Mario and Flora went into.
Gatomon is quick to intercept. "No. You're not going through there. They need alone time. Besides, you should put more trust in Flora. After all, she is a responsible girl."
Flora sighs as she sits down on a rock, trying to clear the storm in her mind.
"Flora?"
Flora is silent before looking up at the human Mario.
"Are you alright?" he asks her.
Flora is silent as Mario sits down. "Fine...just...feeling a bit overwhelmed..."
Mario is silent as well before putting his arm around Flora, hugging her to help comfort her.
Flora is quiet before a single tear drips from her eye. "...Thanks, Mario..."
Rei looks over to SnowAgumon. "So what do Digimon do around here not to get bored because I feel like I'm gonna fall asleep any minuet now." Rei asked.
"Well, We Fight, Play in Toy Town, eat, Swim at the beach and alot of stuff. But what would you like to do Rei?" SnowAgumon asked.
"Well I would like to find the darn crest that everyone keeps talking about so that we can get out of here. But that Flora girl and Mario are getting into some honey so that the bees will chase us or something." Rei said. Evander sighed and looked over to Tameron. "Is she always like this?" Evander asked. "Pretty Much. She used to humiliate me in front of my freinds all the time when I was a kid, like pouring honey down my pants, Giving me wedgies and even stealing my pants when I'm in the shower. If it wasn't for Nanomon I probilby would've gone insane by now." Tameron said.
"That's terrible." Evander said. "Hey, I'm getting hungry, When will Flora get her darn crest already, it's been 35 minuets since we've arrived at this jungle." Nanomon said.
"I wouldn't fight you unless we had time after the Digimon Ruler was defeated. If so, I'll show you how we're supposed to fight, she rubbed Syn's head, who had bit her tongue when hit in the head, "you're a digimon abuser, Evander," she muttered.
"Mwa tonguuuue..." Syn whined a little, her tongue sticking out of her mouth, showing bite marks. It was kind of amazing that she hadn't bitten it off.
"Anyways, I do know about love, and you'd be amazed at how easily love is found to be merely an infatuation with each other," Zai sighed, "you are infatuated," she shook her head, and looked at Syn, listening to the conversation about siblings and evil little tricks. "I'm glad that I don't have siblings, then."
Flora and Mario sit there for a while longer, embracing each other for a while.
"Aw, how sweet."
Both of them let out a scream of shock as they see the giant tree before them talking!
Evander then walked over and pretended to accidently step on Zai's toes.
Meanwhile Tameron heard a voice from behind the tree. "What was that?" Tameron said to himself.
Zai sighed, taking a step backwards, then aimed a kick at Evan's butt/back area, "watch it!" she snapped, quickly.
"Who's there?" Syn yawned out, looking at Evan, "is it the boogeyman?" she had heard a faint voice of the talking to Mario and Flora, possibly... or it was just one of the voices in her head.
Evan jumped and it went under his crotch area. Evander then ran over to Agumon. "Ha, you missed." Evander said. Evander then aimed a punch at Zai.
"Why the hell am I even here anyway, so who's the bad guy/girl we are supposed to beat anyway?" Rei asked. Tameron explained everything about the Digimon Ruler.
Sighing, Zai easily took a step back, "Evan, if I am your ally, why are you trying to injure me? I say trying because you aren't suceeding, since I know almost every movement to avoid getting injured. Especially since you seem to lack agility and flexibility," she added. "Oh... and if you keep trying to injure me, I'm certain if I explained to Syn what a pinata is, and that you are actually one, she won't hesitate to go find a stick."
"Pinata?!" Syn's ears perked up, "oooh! I want one! Wait... what's a pinata?" she tilted her head a little, with a confused look on her face.
"Hey, where did Mario and Flora go to?" Ladybugmon asked.
Mario and Flora had disappeared! No holes in sight! They had just vanished, right where the trees broke away to reveal a large clearing. Oddly, the clearing appears to have had something inhabiting it in the past, but was now completely vacant.
Palmon approaches the clearing, looking around. "...I don't know...something seems fishy about this clearing..."
Flora and Mario blink. All of a sudden, the forest behind them and in almost all directions disappeared, replaced with enough forest the size of a clearing.
"...Mario, what happened?" Flora asks.
"I'm...not sure..." Mario states.
Keith and Birdmon were sleeping in a tree when they heard a thump "What was that?" Birdmon said eyes wide open "Don't tell me your getting scared" Keith said sleepily "No! I just wanted to make sure no one snuck on us!" Birdmon said "Shall we check who it is?" Keith offered "Sure!" Birdmon said and held onto Keith while he jumped on the ground and brought out his staff "COME OUT NOW!!!" he said outloud.
Evander turned around and looked affauly confused. "Come out? But we're not hiding?" Evander asked. Evander looked shocked when he saw his ears and tail. "You're Demi-Felicius aren't you? Hey do you know Flora?" Evander asked him.
"Tell me who you are first and then I'll answer your questions!" Keith said.
"OK, I'm Evander Glovion, this these are my Digimons, Ladybugmon, Terriermon and Agumon." Evander said.
"I'm Jessica, I'm a Mermaid from Aqwaila. These are my Digimons, Leormon, Gabumon and Pawnchessmon." Jessica said.
"I'm Tameron."
"I'm Rei."
"Nanomon."
"SnowAgumon."
Evander then looks around. "There's also Mario, A Demi-Wyveren, Flora who is a Demi-Felicius like you. Their Digimons are with them and we are looking for their Crests." Evander says. Ladybugmon looks at The Digimon standing next to him. "Hey who are you?" He asks.
Birdmon looked at the ladybug digimon and said "I'm Birdmon." Keith looked at Evander and Jessica and said "Alright then, I'm Keith Collins adn Yeah, I know Flora. Her Brother was my shaolin karate Sensei, we would spar with our bo-staffs for fun." he broughht out his staff as he said that before putting it back on its clip on his back "I found my crest about five days after we landed in the Digital relam. <We've been here for 3 weeks> Birdmon added.
Gatomon tugs on Evan's shirt. "We're still here, you know..." she mutters, looking a little peeved that Evander had forgotten their presence.
Flora suddenly sneezes. "...Strange. I usually have clear sinuses."
"Perhaps someone is talknig about you," Mario adds. "I've heard that when someone talks about you behind your back, good or bad, you sneeze."
"Perhaps..." She now looks around. "So how do we get out of here?"
Mario touches his hands against the place where the forest turned into plains in this strange negaworld, coming in contact with an invisible forcefield. "No idea...but I have a feeling that your Crest is here..."
Flora nods and then continues into the forest, Mario having his arm around her to hep comfort her.
"Oh, This is Keith and Birdmon." Evander said. "Is it the Crest shrine?" Jessica asked.
"We have no idea," Guilmon says.
"But seeing that both Mario and Flora are now missing," Agumon continues, "chances are that they have stumbled into the sanctuary."
"we can't know for sure, though, on the count of one reason," Palmon finishes.
Evander sees that they are missing and chuckles nervousely. "That....might not be a good sign." Evander said. "....nope." Agumon agrees.
You two aren't even a bit curious as to why we can not confirm where they are exactly," Gatomon inquires.
"Of Course we are!" Ladybugmon scolded. "Not going to bother with introductions, Zai?" Syn whined slightly, having been with the group the entire time, yet both gone unnoticed.
"Nope," Zai spoke, with a slightly stubborn tone, "too many people," she added, simply. For her kind, being around so many people usually meant that there was a fight among strong fallens. Not a get-together, with..friends.
"I'm Syn, a BlackGatomon, and this is Zai!" Syn perked up quickly, almost falling out of Zai's arms, as she waved her paws in the air, however, Zai managed to keep her in her arms.
"I doubt that will really work Evan, I mean, if it's a crest thing, it may be something to do with the test..." Zai shook her head a little.
"And we DO know where they are, but just not exactly where," Gatomon responds before walking to where the trees broke away into a clearing, placing her paw against the air which quivered at the touch. "There's a forcefield here. Completely impassible, and it surrounds the entire clearing. Although we might not be able to see them, they're in there somewhere."
Jessica looks a little weirded out by Evander's hole lightbulb thing. "Ooookkkkay?" She says. "Well maybe we can break it down!" Evander says before running up to the Barrier. Evander punched the barrier. Evander pauses for a moment before shouting. "GOSH!!!! OW!!" Evander yells. "Mario? ARE YOU IN THERE!" Ladybugmon yells as he flies up to it. "Flora! Pepper Breath!" Evander's Agumon attacks the forcefeild.
"Forget attacking it," Mario's Agumon states. "We had been working at it for ten minutes, and no results. I'm afraid that won't be disappearing until whatever is creating the barrier decides to let it down.
Inside, Flora suddenly stops in front of a large tree. Correction: it was a gigantic tree, high enough to rival the Empire State Building and its branches reaching out far enough to rival the width of Mount Rushmore. "Wow...what a big tree..."
"Why thank you."
Flora freezes. "Mario, was that you?" she asks as she turns to Mario.
He was gone.
"Mario?!?" Flora asks, a bit frantic and worried, now realizing that his comforting arm disappeared a few minutes ago. She thought that he was now respecting her personal space, but now the truth was evident. "Mario! Where are you?"
"I have him."
Flora pauses, looking at the tree. "You have him?"
"Yes, I do."
"...But you're a tree."
"...Oh, wait...hold on..."
Suddenly, something pops out of the tree, and it seems to be a small pink puffball with arms, legs, a face, wings, and a staff. It floats down to Flora and stops at eye level. "I'm Piximon, guardian of this sacred tree. I have been waiting for you, Child of Amity."
"Man, you're dumb," Zai sighed, sitting down beside the forcefield, and played with Syn's ears a little. "Find something to keep yourself busy while you wait, Evan... go make out with your girlfriend behind a tree. It'll keep you both busy. Just as long as I don't see it, or you'll have no lips to kiss each other with...." she grumbled.
"Hehe... that tickles," Syn's ears twitched a little in Zai's hands, "hn... what should we do while we wait?"
"Good Idea."Evander said. Tameron looks like he's gonna laugh again. Evander and Jessica go make out behind a tree. "NOT A STEP FURTHER!" Agumon said. "What does that mean?" Ladybugmon asked. Terriermon bops Agumon on the Head in Anime style. "That was uncalled for." Terriermon said. Agumon put his hand on the Anime Style bump with a Anime Style tear. "Ow that hurt."
"...Zai, please tell me you were being sarcastic so that we can yell to them that you were only kidding..." Gatomon mutters with a sigh.
"Where's Mario?" Flora asks.
Piximon waves his finger back and forth. "I'm afraid that will have to wait. First, you must learn about your challenge. You see, something is going to happen that will test your amity, but I won't tell you what exactly."
"JUST TELL ME WHERE HE IS!" Flora yells, trying to grab Piximon so she can strangle him.
Piximon dodges her grip. "Very well. He's outside the forcefield now. I'll let you now, but be warned that your challenge starts right now."
A low growling is now heard where the others are, but it seems to be sounding everywhere at once.
"Where's Mario?" Flora asks.
A low growling is now heard where the others are, but it seems to be sounding everywhere at once.
"I know she was...but I've mever made out before." He says before going back behind the tree to kiss some more. "EEwwwwwwwww." Ladybugmon said. "HEY A LITTLE PRIVACY!" Jessica yells knocking Ladybugmon back in Anime Style.
"Yeah, I was, that's why..." Zai let go of Syn, and wandered off for a few seconds, returning with a stick. Stick as in large enough to be considered a tree branch, as is was probably only a little smaller than a baseball bat, and looked slightly heavy, as she was holding it with two hands, while it rested on her shoulder, "I had to go find something to beat them with if they don't stop," she said, loudly enough for them to both hear.
"Hehe... it's Billy's big brother," Syn giggled, childishly.
"Will all of you shut up?" Gatomon yells, her ears twitching every few seconds.
"Nope!" Syn purred out, as a thud could be heard when Zai dropped the front part of her 'weapon' onto the ground, and leaned on it. "Scratching post..." Syn spoke, as if hypnotized, then paused, and looked at Gatomon, "you went all yelly..." she childishly said, her tail twitching again.
"Uh... whatever, so long as those two stop, I'll take a nap, or something," Zai made a motion towards Evander and Jessica.
"Ughh....I just hope they both brushed their teeth." Rei said. "He did, He brought tooth brushes and tooth paste with him when he came back to the Real World." Tameron repied.
Ladybugmon pulled on Tameron's Pants leg. "Tameroooooon! I'm bored and Evan won't pway with me because he kissing his girlfriend right now." Ladybugmon said in a whiney voice.
Tameron bends down and pats Ladybugmon on the head. "Don't worry, he won't be long....at...least I don't suppose so." Tameron explained.
"Well, what are we gonna do? I'm sooooo booooorrrred." Ladybugmon whined. Evander and Jessica continue to kiss untill they roll on top of eachother and then at Zai's feet. Appearently they didn't even noticed they were rolling. "My...now that's passion." Leormon joked. They then stopped. "Can't 2 lovers kiss without 2 certain Felines and Fallen Angel making a big deal out of it. Oh and I'm talking about all of you." Jessica said with a jerk like attitude.
Zai aimed a kick quickly at Jessica, "stop acting like a spoiled three year old. You two are not lovers. Get. It. Through. Your. Heads!" she snapped, with a tone that was colder than usual, "you may think you are, but you are merely infatuated. That's probably the same with Flora and Mario. Infatuated! What don't you understand about that?" she growled out, "you may be dating, but really, at this age, nobody can tell for fact if they are truly in love or not," she stated, almost as if she strongly knew what she was talking about.
"Ooooh! You got on Zai's bad side!" Syn smiled, then made her way over to Gatomon, her eyes staring widely, and innocently at the, seemingly, wiser feline, "why did you want us to be quiet?"
Jessica dodged. Evander snapped and made a super fast punch aimed at Zai's face. "Yeah, Infatuated huh? Well you better but out and I mean now! I don't even think I want you on the team anymore!" Evander yelled. Evander then aimed a kick at Zai's abdominal area. "YOU WANNA FIGHT! WELL YOU PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE WRONG HUMAN BEING YOU FALLEN! YOU MUST'VE HIT YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU FELL!" Evander yelled even more enraged the more she talks about it.
Zai sighed, taking a few steps back, and to the side, "fury only blinds your movements, Evander," she seemed unusually calm about his insults, "and if you'd rather, I've already gotten my crest, and it's safely tucked away on my person so you cannot do anything to it, I could always go find the bad guys and join them," she shook her head. "I did not pick a fight with you, but I do know about love, and infatuation more than you'd think. Don't trust that you're in love until you're older," she said monotonely. "You do not choose who is in this group, and I've tried being mature about all of this, however, being almost possitive that I'm more skilled than you are at taking down a target, I could knock you out if you became a threat, however, I'd like to avoid as much violence as possible. It makes us weak to fight each other."
Syn looked over at Zai, then Evan, "okay, nevermind, I can see how that can get bothering... it's giving me a headache..." her ears drooped a little, "Zaaaiii... can you stop now? I don't want you two to fight," she sounded as if she were going to burst into tears any second.
Zai's expression shifted to one that seemed a bit upset, hearing her digimon, but didn't move towards the poor cat, "Syn..." she sounded sympathetic, "...don't cry... I'm not fighting... I'm only trying to make them see reality... I won't hurt anyone here unless they give me good reason to... okay?"
"Okay..." Syn sniffled, "I don't like this, though... I-I don't like all the fighting. We're all supposed to be friends... friends don't fight!" she shook her head quickly, her eyes tightly shutting, "so don't fight!"
"Also, At your age, no one will tell if you'll be an ugly old hag with a bunch of cats for company cause your so cold. Of course I wouldn't expect less from a fallen. Maybe Fallen Angels dig mean bittys for girlfriends I don't know. But if continue to be like this I'm going off to find MY crest on my own!" Evander yelled. Evander attempts to Punch Zai in the jaw. Tameron hits her head from behind. "Why are you fighting this immature battle? And yes I mean all of you. Evander, Jessica and Zai. "Rei asked.
Evander, Jessica and Tameron attempt a gang up on Zai thinking, surely he can't take on 3 people at once even if she is a fallen. They start attempting to blindly hit her.
Kieth and Birdmon looked at each other and Birdmon and Keith both thought "They won't accomplish it."
Before either could make a hit, Zai had realized that she was nearing the forcefield again, and jumped up, spreading her wings, and lifting herself off the ground, "you idiots, I can fly." She shook her head, and landed in front of Syn, "Syn, it's okay," she murmered, bending down long enough to pat the feline on the head, then looked at Gatomon, "..just... tune out for a little while if you don't like the noise... or something... I can't really help it now," she shrugged some, turning to face the three, "really now, do you think those things insult me? You know nothing about my race. If you find me mean, I'll tell you now, most fallens would have tried to kill you by now from how you act."
Syn whimpered a little, and looked at the trees, "I want to go someplace comfortable and sleep... but Zai..." she sighed. She really didn't like that Zai was being a trouble-maker at the moment, and got herself so deep into this that people were trying to injure her.
Syn whimpered a little, and looked at the trees, "I want to go someplace comfortable and sleep... but Zai..." she sighed. She really didn't like that Zai was being a trouble-maker at the moment, and got herself so deep into this that people were trying to injure her.
"I'm only talking about reality. Not about illusions that are found in the mind of the blind," her tone seemed darker than moments before, "control your anger. Save it for your real enemy, as I'm not her." She crossed her arms, "my race is not made of sunshine and cookies. This is who I am, and you should just understand that I will not attempt to change my feelings, and who I am for anyone. Especially not you."
<We were right!> Birdmon said "Of course we were right, we have the crest of intellegence!" he then walked towards Zai and smiled almost a challanging smile "I think I'll get along with you great um...Zai was it." he then took out his crest and showed it to Evander "I'm the child of knowlege, beat my test in three earth hours!" Birdmon flew up to Sai and said <I'm Birdmon, if you ever want to talk to someone, I'm your digimon!> Keith looked at the others "I know that we just met, but could we travel with you guys? We could use the company."
"WILL YOU ALL STOP MESSING AROUND?!?" Gatomon yells, holding back from scratching everyone in the face. "Look, save that energy! I have a feeling something's close-by."
"See reality huh? Last time I heard about reality was that there were no space aliens and here I am. surrounded by aliens and only 2 or 3 human's excluding myself. So who knows what's real and what isn't. Maybe we are...uhh...that word…, but I'm the best fighter on earth....I mean not on earth but in my town. Well....I-I don't know, Fallens MIGHT be better because they're cold hearted. But When Flora took SkullGreymon's attacks...tell me....tell me! Was that Infatuated love? When Jessica weped over my SO CALLED destruction for her Trail of affection that she wore herself out to find me, was that Infatuated love? Where were you when those things occurred? Lost in your own logic and bitterness. I'm sorry, but I have no more to say to you. " Evander preached. "I hope you freeze to death here. I mean that from my heart." Evan said and then walked off.
Agumon then shot out a Flame at every one who was in at the fight, even Zai.
Evander walked a good distance from the group but they were still visible. He sat behind a tree. "Bitter witch! We do love eachother. I wished she had just stayed off on her own. I wish that we would've never met her back at Dragon eye lake. Agumon's right though, If I let every little nonsence comment get to me then I'm just giving that bitch the satisfaction of making me mad." Evander thought. Evander gazed at the clouds thinking about the fight. He was getting depressed.
“I don't know...but it's big..." Gatomon states as she tries to concentrate. "I'd have a more vivid description, though, if some of these idiots would STOP FIGHTING!"
"OK, I'll stop. But Zai's the one who started this ridiculous dight." Ladybugmon said. "Now what's coming?"
"...Wait...it...sounds familiar..." Gatomon states. "...Where have I heard that growling before?"
Before Gatomon can make another comment, something darts out of the forest, slamming right into Gatomon.
Gatomon flies backwards, slamming into the tree behind her and hitting the ground. She nearly blacks out from that one hit alone, but manages to stay conscious. Before she can get a good look at the creature, however, it disappears back into the forest.
Flora is running through the forest, trying to find her way to the forcefield which Piximon said to go. She didn't know how much time she had, but she had to hurry before...
"Gatomon R u ok?" Gabumon asked as he helps her up? "What the heck was that?" Ladybugmon asked.
Gatomon sits up, unable to stand. "I...have no idea...it was too fast...even for me..."
A sudden blur comes by Guilmon, and when it disappears, Guilmon falls to the ground, scratchs on his entire body and a bare gasp of shock before losing consciousness.
It was in that instant that the strange creature attacks Agumon as quickly as Guilmon.
Agumon slumps to the ground, barely conscious as the figure disappears again.
Flora now steps out of the forcefield, seeing the others. "Guys! There you all are! Quick, you need to take cover!"
Agumon was hiding in a Large hole in the base of a Tree with Terriermon.
Palmon simply stands there, looking like a floral plant. From the way she was standing, one could confuse her with a plant. Gatomon, still weak, is the only conscious one who hasn't hidden.
"Flora...what is that?" she asks in a low voice.
Flora goes over and crouches down. "Hard to believe, this is part of the test for my Crest, I think," she states.
"What is that creature?" Gatomon asks, her voice barely whispering.
"It's...it's..." Flora slowly tries to sound out, but she stops when she notes that Gatomon fell unconscious. Closing her eyes, she stands up, right when the blur appears behind her.
With amazing speed, however, she manages to dodge the charge, spin around her assailant, and then put him into a arm and twist, forcing him to the ground. With the assailant for the time stopped, his face could be seen.
It was Mario in his dragon form, but his eyes were red and a strange pink mark on his forehead in the shape of two overlapping hollow circles.
With sudden strength, he suddenly spins around, his tail whacking Flora in the head, causing her to release him. He then disappears in a blur like earlier.
Birdmon's eyes grew in terror "I hope she's okay!" she thought
Evander gets up. "MARIO! Stop! Why are you doing this?" Evander asks. "I think he's being controlled or something!" Ladybugmon says.
Evander runs over to help Flora up. "Are you ok? I mean all things considered?" Evander asks.
Flora rubs away the small amount of blood from her cheek, not accepting Evander's help. "I'm fine..." She gets back to her feet on her own, letting out a small sigh. "This is supposed to be a part of my challenge, but I don't understand what the point of this is..."
"It's Mario?" Zai whispered lightly, as Syn's ears perked up, as the fallen looked towards Keith, "this probably won't be a very good test, then..."
"Mario?! Whe-" Syn had begun to shout, however, her mouth was quickly covered by one of Zaiaku's hands, and only a faint mumble could be heard.
Zai looked towards Flora, and everyone else," I wonder if Flora was told what her crest was... she probably was, so if she knows, it could be a helpful hint on what she's supposed to be doing…"
Flora looks left and right, ready to attack should Mario appear again.
Suddenly, she finds herself nose-to-nose with Mario, who was now staring her in the eye.
Flora freezes, not because of Mario's sudden appearance, but because she couldn't hit him. He wasn't restraining her in any way, but...this was still Mario, and Flora just couldn't hit him, even if he was under mind control. She closes her eyes, trying to set aside her feelings so she can at least hit him.
Flora is not given the time, for Mario swiftly pivots, his tail whacking her in the stomach and slamming her into another tree, disappearing afterward.
Evander had had enough. "Well if you won't hit him then I will!" Evander yelled. Evander started to run up and punch Mario right in the face!
He was chasing after him but he soon lost sight of him. "darn it! What the heck is up with Mario today?" He said to himself.
Keith looked at Zaiaku and said "Yeah, you're must be right" then he jumped down from the tree and looked around the area for the creature, staff out.
"OK. If this is part of Flora's Test then maybe...." Evander thought before turning to Flora. "Flora! Did The Gaurdian tell you what trait your crest was?!"
Flora is silent. "...I think that he called me the Child of Amity, but I don't see how this has anything to do with it!"
Suddenly, she is slammed into again, Mario now pinning her against a tree, her feet off the ground. Mario's hand is pulled back, ready to strike a death blow.
Flora stares at Mario, her eyes quivering. If she didn't do anything, then she was going to die! She closes her eyes, and pulls her leg back to kick out, but her leg freezes up just when it is about to hit Mario in the gut.
She couldn't do it. She loved him too much. Even if he was here, two seconds from killing her, she knew it was still him in there somewhere, only hoping that he could fight it. "Please..." she murmurs to the tranced Mario, "Mario, don't kill me. I...I love you too much to fight back..."
Flora didn't hear them, for Mario was now breathing hoarsely into her ear, his hand ready to thrust into her, ready to pull out her heart.
Then, to everyone's surprise, he does it.
From where everyone was, Mario's hand was going through Flora's chest, the tree behind her shaking heavily from the force of the blow.
Flora seems to be panting heavily, her forehead sweating. Were these signs of death?
Evander fell to his knees. He should've done something to protect her before this happended. He thought that this was the end of her. "I can't stand it anymore! Digivolve!" Evander called out.
Digivolution
Agumon Digivolve to....Greymon!
-------------------------------------------
Greymon started to pull Mario back. "Stop this now, Mario!" Greymon scolded.
"Look, Amity means Love/Freindship and stuff like that! If you don't fight back then you'll get your Crest! But I believe that only you can get through to him!" Greymon yelled to Flora.
"Enough!"
To everyone's surprise, that strange voice came from Mario. In fact, it sounded like...
"...Piximon?" Flora questions.
Now that Greymon had a different view of where Mario struck Flora in the chest, it turns out that his arm didn't hit her at all. It veered off and drove into the tree instead. It just seemed that Flora had been punched, and she was probably sweating earlier because of how close it was to hitting her.
"Oh....Dino Poop....I think I just ruined Flora's chance to get her crest." Greymon said.

"But she wouldn't hit him back or anything." Leormon said. "Yeah, She wouldn't harm Mario even if she was about to kill her!" Rei said a bit shocked at all of this. Evander grinned and looked at Zai. "Ya here that? That's love. Zai = Wronger than wrong." Evander gloated.
Jessica sighed. Even though he didn't kill her, now that Greymon and Evander had interfered, Piximon may not give Flora her Crest.
Suddenly, the mark disappears in a sparkle of beautiful pink glimmers, and Mario slumps into Flora's arms.
"Mario!" she yells as he reverts back into his human form. "Are you okay?"
He mumbles a little before opening his eyes. "...Flora?" he murmurs, putting his hand to her cheek. "Are you okay? You look hurt."
"I'm fine now," Flora says as she hugs Mario tightly.
"Flora...you're hurting me..."
Zai seemed to stare carefully at all that had happened, running it through her head repeatedly. After several seconds had passed from Evander saying anything, she looked towards him, "did you say something?" she tilted her head slightly to the side, as if to state that she hadn't paid attention to a word that he had said.
Syn purred lightly, "man... I wish I woulda brought poppy-corn..."
Greymon Dedigivolved back to Agumon.
The forcefield from earlier suddenly glimmers, and begins to disappear, the missing forest slowly being filled back in and the huge tree in the center of this all.
"Hey, the forcefeilds gone!" Rei exclaimed still a bit confused at all of the supposed to be fictional stuff happening. "Ok...so where's the crest. I think 65 minuets in the jungle is enough for me." Ladybugmon said.
One minute in the jungle is too much for you," Floramon, who is still conscious, jokes before trying to awaken the others.
Flora is silent before setting Mario against a tree. "All of you: watch over Mario. I'll be right back." She then goes into the newly appeared forest.

Flora soon arrives back at the huge tree.
Piximon was waiting for her. "So you are back."
Flora is silent. "I tried to stop him...but I couldn't...I...I love him too much. There was no way I could even hit him..."
Piximon smiles. "You were never meant to win."
Flora looks up, confused.
"You see, this was a test of amity. Love. Refusing to hit the one you loved was a sign of true amity," Piximon says.
"...So..."
"So, it is time for you to get your Crest."
Suddenly, the upper leaves of the trees shake, and a number of them snap off, all of them forming into the same interconnected rings from earlier. The symbol glows pink before shrinking, flying into Flora's Tag. The Crest of Amity.
Suddenly, Gatomon wakes up, and Palmon blinks, obviously shocked by their sudden power increase.
DIGIVOLUTION
"Gatomon digivolve to...Angewomon!"
WARP DIGIVOLUTION
"Palmon warp digivolve to...Lilymon!"
"...We...digivolved?" Lilymon says, a bit surprised at the sudden transformation.
Zai looked over the two that had digivolved, "interesting..." she mumbled softly, her hand lightly resting on Syn's head.
"Cool! I like how Angewomon looks! She looks all angelly!" Syn's tail twitched, as a playful look held her expression, "Wait... since I'm Ladydevimon, and she's Angewomon, are we supposed to not get along? I don't like that!" she shouted, "I'm gonna set a new example for all the Digimon who think that Angewomon and LadyDevimon aren't supposed to get along... yup!" she nodded.
"Can you sound any dumber?" Zai shook her head slightly.
Tameron takes a good look at his tag. "OK, since we found another crest, aren't these things supposed to react now?" Tameron asked. Rei took a look at the tag that appeared around her neck when she awoke from falling through the portal. Rei sweatdropped. "React how...in a calm way or a crazy way?" Rei asked.
"Normally crazy," Lilymon states. "But then again, Flora isn't back yet, so we should just wait until she returns."
"Well that figures. " Rei says.
"...I get it now...by refusing to fight Mario out of love, I showed my amity," Flora figures out.
Piximon nods. "Now go. Your friends are waiting."
Flora is silent before turning and running back toward the others.
Flora soon appears to run right into Angewomon.
"Careful, Flora," Angewomon states, quickly grabbing Flora to keep her from falling backwards.
"...Gatomon?" Flora questions.
Angewomon nods. "It's Angewomon now, though."
