Entry 2: Guilmon, Playtime

Kamilla’s diary
High Stream Inn, Bios Plains
21 Thursday 2007
12:42 PM

I might have been mad at that time. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe this was all just a bad dream. It had to be. I kept on pinching so many times until my arm was sore. It just had to be a nightmare!

So where was I now? Well, Gatomon and Kumamon led me to this inn called High Stream Inn. I guess it got its name because there was a stream next to it, twirling and whirling in midair.

I have got to wake up.

Inside, the inn was quiet. It had no one inside but a few more Baby Digimon. They were joined by their friends and soon enough, the little ones were talking about the fight against Cyclonemon. A few more began chatting to a hairy Digimon called Jijimon. He looked up, which I don’t think he could see with his hair covering his eyes and walked up to me.

“So, is this human Kumamon’s Tamer?” he asked.

“Yes, Jijimon,” Gatomon replied.

“She even has the DNA Digivice,” Kumamon cried, holding up my hand and showing the watch.

“I see... What is your name, human?” Jijimon asked kindly.

“Her name is Kai,” Kumamon replied for me as I was still speechless.

“Kai, I believe you might be wondering why you are here. But it’s quite strange. Humans coming here should be in Imperial City to get started on their quest. It is not the first time a human has cross over to the Digimon World.”

That snapped me into reality. “I-I’m in the Digimon World?!”

“Of course, Kai. Why do you look so surprise?”

But I always thought it wasn’t real! It was only a cartoon, right?

“Gatomon, would you make some tea for our guest? It’ll be a long story,” Jijimon said.

“Sure,” Gatomon said with a nod.

“And the babies need their afternoon nap.”

“Oh, can we stay and listen, please? Can we? Can we?” the Baby Digimon cried up, bouncing up and down in disappointment.

“Now is your afternoon nap. So off you go,” Jijimon ordered kindly. The Baby Digimon moaned loudly but went to their playroom as they were told. Jijimon then walked over to a small table. “Sit down, please.”

Kumamon and I went to the table and sat down on the floor. Gatomon then served the tea to us and sat beside Jijimon.

“Now, as I was saying, you are the first human to cross over without the equipment they use in Imperial City. And you obtain what you have on your wrist there, the DNA Digivice,” Jijmon said.

“Wait. What do you mean the first? And what’s this city? What’s this watch? And who are th-?”

Bonk!

Jijimon hit me on the head with his staff. I yapped in pain. “Hush. Those questions will be answered one at a time. Now, they happen to be your kind, human tamers, of course.”

“Imperial City is where humans cross over to our world and get their first Digimon and DNA Digivices,” Gatomon said.

“DNA Digivice is the enhancement of the Digivolution of your Digimon. Also, with two different Digimon, you can DNA Switch them to become one strong Digimon. Oh oh! Now that’s something all the Tamers love to do here,” Jijimon chuckled.

“Wait, you mean to tell me there are people around?” I asked.

“Of course”

I was saved! If I could find people, maybe they could get me back to the real world.

That was when I realized something. Mom. She might be worried sick about me by now, wondering where I had disappeared to. I had to get back so she wouldn’t worry. She almost had a nervous breakdown when my dad died. She even cried uncontrollably when Jay was leaving home.

“This will be most exciting for you,” he laughed again. “Most tamers here are trying to become the Digimon Zero Champion. Weird title if you ask me.”

“Jijimon,” I called. “Is there a way to go back to my world?”

“Hm? What ever do you mean?”

“I...left something back there. And I’m worried that if I leave my world for too long, well... I just need to straighten things out back there. So is there a way?”

“Of course,” Gatomon replied. “All you need to do is go to Imperial City. The humans there can take you back. Imperial City is where Tamers start and end.”

“One question. How come there are people here in the Digimon World?” I asked. “I thought this was all just a game...from my world, that is. No one told me anything about this.”

“That’s because no one here wants to yet. The humans have only started to build a world where humans and Digimon and stay in one place. From what I heard, they are having problems later that it is unsafe for newcomers to come,” Jijimon said. “A lot of Virus-type Digimon have been acting strangely. They usually don’t cause too much trouble here.”

“Was Cyclonemon acting strange too?” I asked.

“I think so. Cyclonemon does hate humans, but he would never go against us Digimon just because we are friends with you,” Kumamon said.

“Too bad. If new Tamers, young children, are not to cross over soon, these young Digimon will be most disappointed,” Jijimon said.

“You mean, those Baby Digimon are for tamers?” I asked.

Jijimon nodded. “They are raised here before they set off to find their tamers in Imperial City. Kumamon had just digivolved before you came here.”

“It’s still quite strange.”

“What is, Jijimon?” Gatomon asked.

“If no one can cross over, Kai shouldn’t have as well.”

That’s right. How come I was here?

“This is just a theory but if you could come here without coming into Imperial City, then maybe others like you might end up in places all over the Four Sectors. Peculiar... We even had two of these youngsters leave, claiming that their tamers had arrived already.”

“I tried to stop them but they’d left already,” Gatomon explained.

I wondered if Sebastian and Lacey also crossed over. I hoped not. But then again, knowing Sebastian, he’d be too excited to be in the Digimon World for real.

“What are the Digimon that just left?” I asked.

“Biyomon and Terriermon,” Gatomon exclaimed. That gave me a shock. I knew that it could be a possibility that my friends are here. Those two Digimon are supposed to be theirs.

“So what’s really going on here?” I asked.

“I’m not sure. Maybe the humans in Imperial City have the answers,” Jijimon uttered wisely.

“Well then. That’s where I’m going. I do need to get back to my world and also find out what’s going on here. If something is happen to the Digimon World, then I’m going to find out what.”

“A brave one, you are,” Jijimon. “Since your journey is to Imperial City, you’d best be prepared. There are Wild Digimon and danger everywhere.”

“Actually how far is this city?”

Gatomon pulled out an old map from a shelf next to the table and unfolded it. She pointed to a box in a large plain area. “This is where we are and here...” I watched her claw waggle far until it reached to a place surrounded by an ocean, a forest and a mountain. “Is Imperial City.”

I was shocked. That looked like it’d take a month or two.

“It will take you three weeks to get there. If you include the danger.”

“Three weeks?!” I wasn’t sure if my mom could last that long.

“Don’t worry, Kai,” Kumamon said. “With me around, we can get there faster.”

For a little bear, he had so much determination. I smiled. “Thanks, Kumamon.”

“Now, you two should get some rest. Your journey will start tomorrow morning,” Jijimon suggested, getting up and walking away.

After that and Gatomon showing to my room in the inn, I went off out plains, looking around with Kumamon. Turned out that Kumamon was my Partner all along and had been waiting for me in the inn for a very long time.

“Kai, is this yours?”

“Yeah. Thanks Kumamon.”

I wasn’t the only thing that got sucked through my computer. Partially, whatever sucked me into this world also sucked a lot of my stuff from my room. And most were helpful too. So far, on our search on finding my stuff, Kumamon and I found my bag, some clothes that became dirty from the dust in the plains, my fingerless gloves that I got from Dad on Christmas, my cap, the Swiss knife that Jay kept away in my room so Mom wouldn’t find it, a pair of mini-binoculars, some matches that I took from last night’s restaurant dinner, my roller blades, my diary of course, and last but not least, my mobile phone.

But the connection wasn’t working so calling home was out of the question. It was good that I got all this stuff for the journey.

I wore on my cap reversed and my gloves on.

“Thank goodness, these stuff were lying around. If something had taken them away before we’d found them, I don’t know what to do next,” I said. “Is that all we found, Kumamon?”

“I think so... Huh?”

“What?”

“Is that yours?”

I looked up to see a strange red Digimon holding what appeared to be my armband. My FAVOURITE armband. It was Guilmon and it was wearing it on its right claw.

“HEY!” I yelled. “That’s mine!”

It ran away. Kumamon and I chased after it. It was fast. Kumamon was fast too. And I had to watch them run fast while I stopped to get a breather. Man, Digimon could win the Olympics. I wondered if I’d ever get my band back.

“Help!” I heard a cry. It came from a dead tree. Or came from a Baby Digimon that was up in the tree.

“What the heck are you doing up there?” I yelled. “What’s more, how did you get up there?”

The Baby Digimon, which I think it’s called Chikomon, just whimpered.

“Hang on! I’ll get you down!” I quickly grabbed a branch and climbed up. Thank god for rock climbing. I grabbed Chikomon in my hand and climbed back down, where I placed Chikomon on the ground. He was still sobbing.

“Just what in the world were you doing up there?” I asked.

“Wanted to show them...” he sulked. “Wanted to show the other baby Digimon that I could be a strong Digimon!”

“Let me guess... The other Baby Digimon were making fun of you? Is that it?” He nodded. I felt like some teacher talking to a kindergarten. “Listen, climbing up trees could make you strong. But that’s reckless. You have to be strong in another way. Like my dad always said... To be strong is to have a big heart. That’s all. Now come on. Stop crying. No one likes a sourpuss.”

He stopped crying and soon enough, he gave a small but steady smile. “Now you’d better get back to the inn. Meanwhile, I gotta find Kumamon and get my band back.”

That when I realized something. I was without my Digimon and he was after the Guilmon alone so that meant that we both were vulnerable without each other.

“Kumamon!” I screamed, running as fast as my legs could carry to find Kumamon. I found him five minutes later, standby against the Guilmon. He looked as if he was out of breath.

“You!” I yelled. “Give me back my band!”

“Yeah. It doesn’t belong to you,” Kumamon yelled.

“No. Guilmon found it. Guilmon keeps it, slowpoke” Guilmon said, sticking out its tongue at Kumamon.

“What?” Kumamon growled. “I’ll show you!”

Kumamon fired a couple of punches but amazingly Guilmon dodged them all. He was a quick reptilian Digimon.

“Come on, Kumamon. He may be quick but you can take him down!” I cheered.

Kumamon kept on shooting his claws but Guilmon kept on dodging. No wonder Kumamon looked so tired.

“Pyrosphere!” A ball of fire gathered up in Guilmon’s mouth and he let it out powerfully. Kumamon jumped aside, missing the fireball.

“Bear Fist!” He charged after Gulimon, throwing a dominant punch but that too missed Guilmon. Kumamon was strong and Guilmon was strong too. Like they were equal rivals.

There had to be some way of winning this battle.

“Nyah-nyah!” Guilmon hollered, pulling an eyelid and sticking out his tongue. “You can’t hurt Guilmon!”

“I would if you’d hold still!” Kumamon yelled.

Yup, definitely like rivals.

“This isn’t going anywhere,” I muttered.

I could have sworn I felt a breeze pass by me from behind. Not only that but a small round blue thing bounced up and caught on Guilmon’s hand.

“Chikomon?!” I shouted, shocked.

“Give back her band!” Chikomon cried.

“Get off of Guilmon!” Guilmon yelled, trying to shake him off.

“Now’s my chance!” Kumamon whispered loudly and dashed up to Guilmon. “Bear Fist!”

“Alright!” I yelled, expecting a victory.

This time, his technique drove right at Guilmon’s cheek. However, Guilmon used his free claw and drove that into Kumamon’s face! I stood there stunned, my jaw dropped. Chikomon, whom had fallen off, stared at them surprised.

They both fell, defeated. Oh my gosh, they were equal rivals!

“This is ridiculous,” I said.

“Are they okay?” Chikomon asked, having jumped off Guilmon’s claw.

“I’ll...get you for that!” Kumamon moaned.

“...Not if Guilmon beat you first!” Guilmon groaned.

“Yup, they’re okay,” I said, feeling not amused.

A loud roar was heard from far, followed by a buzzing sound. That got louder and louder. Before we knew it, a large monster came to us. A very LARGE Kuwagamon was flying towards us!

“Run!” Chikomon and I dashed away as it landed with a loud thud. I was thrown over by the great gust its wings gave. Chikomon cried out as he was flung about...and about to fall down a cliff. “Chikomon!”

Unexpectedly, Guilmon and Kumamon quickly scampered to their feet and ran towards the cliff. Both clutched to Chikomon’s tail and pulled him up together. I sighed with relief.

Until I heard the Kuwagamon trot towards me.

“Kai!” Kumamon yelled. I dragged myself away.

“Kumamon, get ready!” I shrieked. “DNA Digivolution!” A light glistened from the DNA Digivice watch. I reached out and instantly pulled out a strand of data. The strand connected to end, turning into a ring. I pitched the ring at Kumamon and the ring of light swallowed him up.

“Kumamon Digivovle to...Grizzmon!” Into battle, Grizzmon, the big grizzly bear jumped in before Kuwagamon.

“Lighting Slash!” His spiked claw charged up and aimed at the Bug Digimon. Right smack at its jaws.

I gasped. It was still standing. The Lighting Slash didn’t affected it. That was because of its hard exoskeleton. It lifted up its long claw and hurled it at Grizzmon, throwing him at the rocks. He slammed hard against the wall of the rocks and hung there, struck and hurt.

“Pyrosphere!” A blast of burning fire hit at Kuwagamon’s eye, scorching it. Guilmon was fighting, too. Kuwagamon, which was looking annoyed, rose up its claw and was about to fling Guilmon away. I darted, pushing Guilmon away, just as the claw hit the earth. We avoided the assault.

It then propelled it wings, giving a massive gust. The dust clouded everywhere. Chikomon hid behind a rock to keep away from the dust storm. Kuwagamon flew into the air and spun in big circles, then faced Grizzmon. It was going to do an aerial attack.

Grizzmon looked at me. I nodded. I had a plan.

“Scissor Claw!” Kuwagamon yelled, its jaw pincers snapping. It dove down, ready to finish Grizzmon.

“Grizzmon, quick! Whirlwind!” I ordered quickly.

“Whirlwind!” Grizzmon hollered out a roar and soon, a powerful gust of wind blew at Kuwagamon. The Bug Digimon hung on in midair, against the twister. But it wasn’t enough to hold against Grizzmon’s technique. Its wings grew tired and Kuwagamon was blown away up high to the sky, to be gone forever.

“Alright!” I cheered. Chikomon bounced up and down happily.

Grizzmon then glowed, surrounded by the ring of light and in that place was Kumamon, de-digivovling. The ring of light came back to the DNA Digivice. He fell from the rocks and panted tiredly with a smile.

“Kumamon, are you alright?” I cried as Chikomon and I ran to his side.

“Yup,” He said.

It was soon we heard the sound of steps fading away and we wheeled around to see Guilmon disappearing behind the rocks. Kumamon tried to get up but I stopped him. I knew he would go after Guilmon to get my band back. But I told him it wasn’t worth it. And what’s more, Guilmon tried to save us.

To Takumi, thanks for pointing out the mistake. Spelt that word wrong. And thanks for your review! Hope you’ll like this chapter!

To Dragon shadow1, Gazimon is gonna be used by Lacey and not Kamilla. Sorry about that. And yeah, I could use Bearmon but I think as I remembered Bearmon is the Baby Digimon for Kumamon, from the cards. But in case readers mistake Kumamon for the one in season 4, I’d wrote down his description and that Kamilla has seen season 4 in TV, so it’s not in this world. Thanks for your review, Dragon shadow and Dorumon! Maybe I can add you as a character in this fanfic since there’s a chance kids besides Kamilla crossed over into the Digimon.

Kumamon: I wouldn’t mind fighting against Dorumon!

I had a feeling you’re say that...

To babymega3000, thanks for your review!!
