Chapter 2: I see a fight between a dino and a sea slug

So, today I had almost been killed several times, met a bomb/rocket/thingie and fallen of a cliff which I was still falling off of...still better then Summer School.

Me and Klankmon fell with the rest of my friends, some of their digimon like the bird and the robo lady-bird tried to pull their partners up, but they were too heavy.

Palmon (I think) tried to grab onto the cliff face using her vines, but the rocks broke away.

Klankmon had grabbed onto my arm to keep us together as we all fell down into the river.

I couldn't hold my breath for very long when suddenly loads and loads of fish appeared and made a raft out of themselves for us to ride on.

"Wow, this is some ride." Tai stated plainly.

"Gomamon, with you we are set for life." Klankmon said, looking down at the fishes.

The roar we had grown to know and hate appeared again. I turned my head up to see Kuwagamon look down at us from the cliff, but then it broke off and the bug fell off too!

"What? Hey, look out!" Matt warned us as the insect began falling on us, causing us all to scream.

"Go!" Gomamon commanded. The fish instantly began moving, getting us away from the falling digimon and rocks.

They all landed in the river, creating a giant wave that headed straight for us! Me and Klankmon hung on as hard as we could as we all rode the fish raft onto a nearby shore, being thrown off and landing in a crumpled mess. I gasped to get as much air as possible, we all did.

"I knew we'd be okay. I wasn't worried." Matt said. I could practically hear Ain's groan.

"What was that?" Joe asked, his glasses falling off his face. "A floating fish market?"

"Nah, those fish were some good friends of mine, I just asked them for a lift!" Gomamon chuckled.

Joe pushed his glasses back onto his face. "And all these years I thought I was allergic to seafood, Thank you...um, I guess it's not Bukamon?"

"Gomamon now!"

T.K looked at his new friend. "And I guess your not Tokomon now are you?"

"Now I'm Patamon!" Patamon chirped.

I looked at Klankmon. "And your not Bommon OR Missimon?"

He chuckled and wagged a finger at me. "Boy, please. It's Klankmon now!"

Agumon(?) snorted. "It's all because we digivolved."

"I don't think that words in my dictionary." Tai replied.

Luckily, the genius that is Izzy had something to say. "So digivolving is what happens when they advance to the next level and become more powerful then before."

Tentomon, who was buzzing beside him, agreed. "Right, all of us digivolved, I went from Motimon to Tentomon."

Lunamon smiled. "When we met I was Moonmon, but I'm Lunamon now!"

Sora's pink bird also spoke up. "I digivolved from Yokomon to Biyomon."

Matt's blue animal friend pointed at himself. "First I was Tsunomon, then Gabumon."

"And I changed from Tanemon to Palmon!" Palmon told Mimi.

Agumon pointed to himself with a claw. "And me, I was Koromon, I digivolved into Agumon."

Tai put his hands behind his head. "Mm-hmm...I still don't get it." Ain sighed. "When you digivolved you all got a lot bigger. Does this mean your still digimon or something else?"

"Digimon." Agumon laughed. "But I needed your help Tai."

Tai pointed at himself. "Me? For what?"

"You see, digivolving is a very difficult process." Agumon explained. "In order to be successful, I had to share your energy."

"Really?" Tai asked, still unsure.

"I guess you guys don't run on batteries." Sora said to Biyomon.

"Sure don't!" The bird replied. I swear her eyes turned upwards as if she was smiling.

"But how do you access my energy?" Izzy asked Tentomon.

The bug shrugged its shoulders. "Even we don't know everything."

Palmon was dancing around Mimi. "Thanks for my magical powers!"

The poor girl just buried her head in her hands. "The whole thing just makes my head spin."

"So I help you change! That's so cool!" T.K told his flying hamster friend.

"Yep! Sure is!" Patamon replied.

Joe, however, was turning away from Gomamon. "My folks warned me about strangers."

"I'm not a stranger, Joe!" Gomamon reassured him. "I'm your friend for life!"

'Friend for life?' I thought to myself, looking at Klankmon. 'What does that mean?'

"This is all great, but come on, what are we gonna do?" Matt mentioned the important question.

Joe had something to suggest. "If only there was a payphone nearby. We could call the police, or the fire department...or my mother."

"But we don't even know where we are." Tai mentioned, shooting down the suggestion.

"But we know where we started. Up there on that mountain." Sora spoke up, pointing to said mountain.

Matt took one look at the massive mountain and shook his head. "I say we forget about going back and explore around here."

"I'm not going anywhere." Joe stubbornly proclaimed. "I say we stay right here where we are."

"Sure, let's wait for the giant bug to come get us." Matt pointed out. "We need to find a road to get us away from here."

"Matt's right." Izzy agreed. "But without a compass we don't even know which way is north."

"Wait, I do!" Tentomon said.

"Really? Where?" Izzy enquired.

"It's the opposite of south!"

We all sighed.

"You know...if we could get back to where we were, we might find some clues as to why we're here in the first place." Sora said.

Mimi was not so keen. "Wait, are there more monsters around like that giant flying beetle?"

"Yes indeedy." Palmon said too happily.

"Ick!"

"These monsters don't scare me." Matt reassured her.

"And yet you screamed as loud as the rest of us." Ain mumbled.

"Are there humans?" Tai asked Agumon.

"Humans? Others like you?"

"Mm-hm."

"Your the first ever. There's never been anything but digimon."

"So your all digimon. And these monsters are all digimon as well?"

"It's creepy and dangerous." Sora said, comforting Mimi. "And what happens when it gets dark?"

"Who says it ever gets dark?" Matt said.

"That phenomenon would be unnatural." Izzy said, me having no clue whatsoever.

"And you call this natural?" Joe questioned.

"Well, we're not gonna find anything by sitting around here." Tai declared, starting a determined walk.

"Where do you think your going?" Matt asked.

"Up on that cliff." He explained. "That's where I saw the ocean."

"The ocean?" There was DEFINITELY no ocean near Summer Camp.

"Yep, there might be a boat or something."

"Great, let's water-ski home."

So we started walking onward. (Having to tell Joe to hurry up). Me, Ain, T.K and our partners walked in the middle, talking to one-another.

"I say we got washed into a completely different world by that wave." Ain said.

"Really? That's so cool!" T.K said.

"Maybe, what's your world like?" Lunamon asked.

"Where we live it's all big and noisy." Ain told her. "That's why I kinda like this place. Minus the giant monsters that is."

"Sounds fun." Patamon said, looking at the brighter side.

"Hey, El." Klankmon whispered to me. "Check this out." He then turned to Ain and T.K and pulled a really creepy face, showing all his teeth by pulling on his mouth. "Bleaaaarggghhh!"

T.K and Patamon jumped back in fright, but Ain and Lunamon kept walking. Klankmon was obviously disappointed. "Jeez, what's up with Loud Mouth?"

"Who?" I asked.

He jabbed a finger at Ain. "Loud Mouth, you know, her!"

"That's not very nice." I said. "Can't you call her by her proper name?"

He looked like he was thinking for a second. "Nah. Loud Mouth's easier to remember."

"Easier then Ain?"

"Tch. Of course!"

As Patamon tried to show T.K he could fly and Klankmon was still trying to scare Ain without success, Gabumon spoke up. "Ah, nothing like the sweet smell of the ocean."

We all looked forward to see a beach nearby!

"Ha ha! Everybody in the water!" Gomamon cheered.

"Let's build a giant sand castle!" T.K asked us.

"Aww, I forgot to bring my bathing suit!" Mimi complained.

"Last one there's a rotten Digitamamon!" Lunamon called...who?

"Wait a minute!" We all froze at Matt's call, it was difficult for me as I had to stand on one leg. "Listen! What's that?" We all listened and found we could hear...ringing?

"A phone." Tai stated.

"Either that or we're all hearing things." Sora said.

All of us rushed down to the beach and gasped when we saw a line of around about ten telephone booths next to the ocean.

"I told you! All we needed was a phone! We're saved!" Joe said.

We all jumped into a phone booth each, however I had absolutely no idea what to do.

Klankmon banged his hand against the metal. "What the heck is this thing?"

"It's a phone booth, you use it to keep in touch with people." I explained.

"Not much use for digimon then." Klankmon muttered.

After several failed attempts we all gathered around in a circle away from the weird phones, apart from Joe that is.

Tai was talking about finding a boat while me, Ain and T.K discussed things some more.

"When I tried picking up the phone after Tai, it said 'This number has been eaten, please try a different, inedible one.'" Ain told us.

"Numbers are edible?" Lunamon thought aloud.

"I wonder if they're broken?" T.K said.

Klankmon chuckled. "Listen Short-stuff, these things obviously aren't any use to ya. If they were, we could be stuffing ourselves with...what didja call it El?"

"Pizza." I said, having explained it to him earlier.

"That's it."

"What's pizza?" Patamon asked.

While Klankmon told Lunamon and Patamon about 'The incredible cheese disc', Tai called a break time, so we could collapse back into the sand.

"Does anybody have any food?" Sora asked. Good point, We'd been running all day and I was really hungry now. "I think all I've got is this...huh? It's that gadget that fell out of the sky at camp."

We looked at her to see her hold out the little gizmo we got earlier that day. "I forgot all about those weird gizmos." Tai said, holding out his own.

"If anyone's got a pink one, I'll trade." Mimi said. I told you.

"What are they anyway?" T.K said.

"Well I think I can safely say they're not phones." Ain exclaimed.

I looked at my own and tried pressing some buttons, nothing happened.

"We wouldn't have them if they weren't important." Matt deduced.

"If I could take mine apart..." Izzy started, being cut off by his growling stomach. "Um, that is, after I get something to eat, I'm famished!" He exclaimed. I still don't know what 'famished' means.

"Well all I've got are my emergency supplies." Sora admitted, holding them out. "It's got a first aid kit, some bandages and some medicine, but that's all I've got."

Izzy was next. "I brought my trusty lap top computer and a digital camera. Oh, and I've got a small cellphone too. Of course none of them have worked since we got here."

"I can't believe you dragged all that computer stuff to Summer Camp." Tai said.

Izzy slightly frowned at him. "And what do you have?"

He pointed at himself. "Uh?" He then dug into his pocket. "I have...my mini telescope!" He held it out triumphantly.

"Sorry, but I don't have anything to eat either." Matt sighed.

"Hey! Look what I got!" T.K spoke up.

"Hmm?"

"Check it out!" Everyone looked at T.K when he opened his bag to reveal a secret stash of crisps, chocolates and sweets! Just looking at it made me hungry.

"And T.K saves us yet again!" Ain proclaimed.

"Wow! Look at all those goodies! Why don't you be a good little boy and share those treats with dear, sweet Mimi?" Said girl asked.

"Aw, you don't have to be so nice Mimi!" T.K said. This is what I like about him, the fact that he's so kind. "I'm happy to share! Isn't she cute?" He looked at his brother at the last part.

"Forget it." Matt shrugged him off. T.K always tries to find someone nice for Matt, I don't know why though, girlfriends are WEIRD.

"Hey El! Ain! Let's share!" He offered the bag to us.

"Thanks so much T.K!" I said, taking some crisps.

Izzy was doubtful however. "These foods won't provide a suitable meal, we need proper carbohydrates."...carbowhat?

"Yeah, we'll get sick eating this junk." Matt agreed.

Me, Ain and T.K all just turned away with dignity. Klankmon looked at the packet I was struggling to open. "Yo El, whatcha got there?"

"Crisps." I said, finally undoing the packet without them falling into the sand. "Want some?"

He took a whole handful and stuffed it into his mouth. "Woah! That's pretty good!"

Ain and T.K offered some to their digimon, but they declined. Klankmon however was proceeding to eat as many crisps as possible from my packet until they were all gone.

"Damn, all gone." He muttered, then looking at me. "Oh, errr...sorry."

"It's okay." I said. "Hey, that must've been your first food right?"

He thought for a second. "Yeah! I guess your right! I love crisps!"

"Hey Ain!" Tai called to his little sister. "Joe brought the emergency bag! We've got proper food now!"

All three of us stood up. "Thanks Tai!" Ain said as we rushed over to where some proper canned or bagged food lay.

Klankmon scanned the selection with a disappointed look. "No crisps? This isn't a proper meal!"

As we ate Izzy said we only had enough food to last three days, but Sora added in the digimon, meaning only enough for half an hour.

"Not a problem at all! We digimon hunt and forage for ourselves." Gabumon reassured us.

"You do?" Sora asked.

"No need to include us in your calculations!" Tentomon added.

"You sure Biyomon?" The helmet wearer was still unsure.

"Oh absolutely, we can do alright for ourselves." The bird digimon told her.

I happened to glance away to see Tai, Agumon, Ain and Lunamon eating without a care in the world. Oh well, at least they WERE eating. I turned to my metal friend. "You as well, Klankmon?"

He stood up and puffed out his shiny chest. "Of course! Watch my master hunting skills in action!"

As he walked away Joe was scorning the two siblings and their digimon. "Just what do you think YOU'RE doing!?"

"I'm glad we never hear you complaining." Tai replied sarcastically.

"It must be because he's so tall, he can get wound up easily." Ain stated.

"What!?"

Meanwhile Klankmon was examining one of the phone booths. Then he took a HUGE BITE OUT OF IT!

"Hmmm..." He mumbled with a mouthfull of metal. "Not as good as crisps, but it'll do."

"What are you DOING NOW!?" Joe asked frantically.

"Hunting." He replied plainly.

"Phone booths are not fit for human consumption!"

"I'm a digimon, moron."

"JUST STOP!"

"Make me, Lean n' Meek!" He shouted back defiantly, taking another bite out of the phone booth.

"You people make me crazy!" The poor guy cried.

As Klankmon continued to eat the phone booth Biyomon suddenly jumped up. "Hm?"

"Now what's the matter?" Sora questioned the bird.

"Trouble." Why did I get a terrible feeling from that answer?

Then a massive jet of water suddenly shot out of the sand! It smashed through all the phone booths, making them and Klankmon fly into the air and crash down back into the sand.

"Klankmon!" I ran over to my partner who was now stuck in the ground witth his legs flailing in the air. I pulled on his legs as hard as I could until he popped out of the sand, then I dragged him away with the rest of the kids..

The gushing water disappeared and was replaced by a massive spinning shell that rose up from the sand.

"What's that?" Izzy asked.

"Shellmon." Tentomon answered.

"What's a Shellmon?"

"Something that gets mad for no reason!"

When the shell had stopped spinning a massive pink...thing with large arms and green tentacles for hair emerged from the shell, still attached to it by its unseen lower half.

Klankmon stood up and spat a lot of sand out of his mouth. "Hey! What's the big idea!?" He looked at the new digimon and sighed. "Shellmon, typical. Hideously ugly and a temper as short as Loud Mouth."

Ain was not pleased. "Stop calling me that!" She then proceeded to pinch Klankmon's metal cheek with little effort.

"Ow! Hey! Quit it!" Klankmon yelped.

We were interrupted when Shellmon blasted Joe, with his powerful water from its head, down from a nearby...em...bank...ment?

"Joe!" Gomamon cried, but he was blasted by the water as well. Now Shellmon turned to the rest of us.

Agumon stood tall though. "Digimon attack!"

"Right!" The remaining digimon all leaped forward.

"Pepper Breath!" Agumon spat a fireball from his mouth, knocking Shellmon's head to the side.

"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon attacked, but for some reason the flames fizzled out halfway. "Huh?"

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon's technique disappeared just as quickly.

"Super Shocker!" Tentomon could only create a tiny spark which didn't faze Shellmon a bit.

"What's happening to them?" Izzy cried, very worried.

"It looks like they've lost their powers." Matt said.

Shellmon knocked them all back with a powerful water blast. But Agumon quickly leapt back into the battle along with the other half of the able digimon.

"Lunar Claw!" Lunamon's attack managed to hit Shellmon as well, making it cringe for a second.

"Boom Bubble!" Patamon tried to follow up, but the air blast faded before it reached the monster.

"Poison Ivy!" But Palmon's vines couldn't move at all.

"Gear Grinder!" Klankmon rammed into Shellmon's face with his super spinning, throwing it's head back.

This time Shellmon used its tentacles to knock them back, but Agumon just got up again with Lunamon and Klankmon.

"He's even uglier up close." Klankmon muttered before the trio attacked again.

"Go Agumon!" Tai cheered.

"Do it, Lunamon!" Ain called.

"Why is it only Agumon, Lunamon and Klankmon who can fight?" Izzy asked as he knelt beside Tentomon.

"We're just too hungry..." Tentomon said weakly.

"Gabumon!" Matt tried to get his friend to stand.

"I don't have any strength..." The digimon groaned.

"That's it! They're the only ones who had anything to eat!" Sora shouted with Biyomon in her arms.

"Now I see!" Izzy said.

"Then the other digimon don't have enough strength left to fight!" Matt realized.

Lunamon and Klankmon were thrown back yet again. "Damn, this slugs tough." My metal partner said. "And now there's only three of us!? Come on!"

"Hey Agumon!" Tai called to the dinosaur. "We gotta take this thing down!"

"Then give me a diversion!" He called back.

So Tai ran and grabbed a long metal pole and ran up next to Shellmon. "Hey Shellmon! Ugly! Over here!"

"I like Goggles." Klankmon said.

"No, don't!" Sora cried out.

Agumon and his two partners attacked Shellmon from the left side, diverting its attention away from Tai.

The pre-teen used this chance to attack the thing with the metal pole. "How do ya like that!?" Sadly he failed to notice the long green tentacle that wrapped around him and pulled him into the air "Huh!?"

"Hang on Tai!" The yellow reptile charged the sea slug, but was instantly pinned down by one of its massive hands.

"Hey you damn slug!" Ain yelled, rushing out and waving her hands around. "Let go of Tai!"

The monster had no interest in her however and attacked with a water blast. "Ain!" Tai shouted.

Luckily Lunamon had saved her just in time. Unluckily she got hit in the process. "LUNAMON!" Ain cried rushing over to her fallen friend.

"Alright that does it!" Klankmon roared, dashing forward as well. "Don't think you can mess with my friends and get off easily you stupid BUTT UGLY SNAIL!"

The 'butt ugly snail' did not like that at all. It tried to blast him as well but he just used the water as a path to roll along, slamming into the snail yet again.

"Alright!" But he too was then caught by the tentacles. "Ugh!?" He bit down on his restraint, only to begin the crushing process. "Uggggaaahhh!"

"Klankmon!" I cried.

With all of its attackers at bay, Shellmon blasted the rest of us with its high pressure water, throwing us back with shouts of shock.

I struggled to stand up as Shellmon continued to tighten its grip on Tai and Klankmon. And I've seen enough movies round Matt and T.K's house to know that they wouldn't last much longer.

Tai's gizmo started glowing again. "Digivolve!" Agumon shouted as a familiar bright light shot into the sky and then down onto Agumon.

"What's...goin on?" Tai asked as the rest of us gasped in awe.

"Agumon digivolve to...Greymon!" Agumon grew bigger and bigger until he easily threw off Shellmon, making him lose his grip on Tai and Klankmon as they fell into the sand.

"Tai!" Ain yelled, carrying a weak Lunamon over to her brother as I followed her. "Tai! Tai! Are you okay!?"

He sat up and brushed himself off. "I'm the one who should ask that question. I'm just glad your safe."

Klankmon got to his feet and rubbed his head. "Dang it...I'll feel that in the morning."

We then turned our attention to...Agumon? The little dinosaur had grown as big as Shellmon! And now he was orange with blue stripes and had a brown head with three horns.

"Woah!" Tai gasped. "He did it! Now he's Greymon!"

Shellmon didn't seem fazed by the digimons transformation, charging the dinosaur only to be stopped with little effort.

"Now your getting him! Go Greymon!" Tai shouted.

"You've got this, Greymon!" Me and Ain called.

"I could do that if I wanted to..." Klankmon pouted.

Shellmon tried to blast his now giant opponent with another geyzer, but Greymon unleashed flaming breath that evo...avapr...made the water turn to steam.

The giant slug was shocked by the counter and shuffled back, giving Greymon the chance to launch it into the air using it's powerful horns.

"Digi-Nova Blast!" Sucking in a huge amount of air, Greymon shot a giant fireball from its mouth, slamming into Shellmon and launching it far, far away into the ocean.

Greymon glowed brightly and shrunk back down into Agumon now that he had won, promptly collapsing.

"Agumon!" Tai cried, rushing to his partner. "Are you okay? You poor little guy. Agumon!"

The dinosaur opened its eyes weakly as me and Ain joined them. "Tai?"

"Huh?"

"Do you have...anything to eat?"

DIGITALMONSTERS

Soon all of the digimon were tucking into some well-earned food in the form of a picnic. Klankmon was happily eating his second bag of crisps with the rest of them, as Lunamon scolded him for his bad manners.

"There really is no reason for us to stay here now." Tai said, surveying the destroyed phone booths (which Joe was STILL trying to use).

"Who wants to break the bad news to Joe?" Matt sighed staring at him.

"You want some more, just say so." Sora said, kneeling beside Biyomon.

"Ah! Great!" Klankmon said, tossing away an empty packet. "In that case I want-"

He was interrupted by Lunamon covering his mouth. "He's fine, thank you very much Sora."

Klankmon crossed his arms and glared at Lunamon, who ignored him.

Genius Izzy assessed the situation. "Shellmon wasn't destroyed, just temporarily removed. We should pack up and leave before he reappears."

"Good idea." Matt agreed.

Joe came over after finally leaving the phones alone. "In that case we should go right back to the forest. 'Cause if anyone's looking for us, that's right where they'll go!"

"Joe, we've said this before." Sora interjected. "We fell down a cliff and floated down a river to get here. It's probably going to be a really big job to get back."

"And we could run into Kuwagamon again." Mimi added.

"Now listen. Logically speaking if there are telephones here, there must be a people to use them. So, I think it makes good sense to try and find those people." Izzy the genius saves us yet again.

"That makes sense?" Joe asked, still not believing it.

"It certainly does!" Sora said.

"I'm going with Izzy's idea." I agreed.

"Then let's all get going!" Tai told us.

"Anywhere you wanna go, I'll go, Tai." Agumon said.

"Then let's get going!"

"And let the monsters beware!" Matt added.

"Um, my plan is to avoid all monsters, yep, that's my plan." Joe said.

Ain and Lunamon tood up. "As long as I have Lunamon, we'll be okay!" Ain stated confidently.

Lunamon blushed at the praise. "I'm glad I have you too Ain."

Klankmon jumped up with determination. "Alright El, the digital world better get ready. 'Cause we're setting off!" He declared.

"Right! Let's all go together!" I said happily, knowing that with Klankmon and my friends by my side, I was ready for anything!

"Okay! Here we go!" Tai shouted as we all set off together, as a team, and as friends.

And almost as if to show their determination, all our digimon leapt into the air and shouted one word together.

"DIGIMON!"

DIGITALMONSTER

And so Chapter 2 is finished! I hope you enjoyed it and I apologize if I made any mistakes.

To suntan140, if you want to draw Klankmon I will describe him in full detail: He is the same size as Agumon, he is completely silver as he is made out of metal, the only exceptions are his eyes which are similar in shape to Shoutmon's, except they have red irises, his red neckerchief that covers his torso with two tattered red trails behind it, like a scarf, and his hands and feet which are black.

His hands look like claws in crane games, and he has three white claws jutting out from the front of his black feet.

His head is circular in shape, and his arms are as long as his whole torso plus legs.

He has a group of golden gears constantly spinning out of his back, he also has two small silver gears for his shoulders and strapped across his ankles. And finally his mouth is zig-zag shaped with white pointed teeth.

Whew, I hope that helps!

Digimon belongs to its respective owners, El, Ain and Klankmon belong to me. Thank you for reading!
