My Digimon Adventure

Of Flowers and Stone!

The blinding yellow light engulfed Floramon, forcing Danni to move out of the cave when Rhys and Impmon arrived "Danni, what the hell is going on?" asked Rhys covering his eyes "Where is Floramon?" asked Impmon also blocking out the light

"She's in there." she replied "We found this weird flower and when she touched it this happened." The light began to dim and then eventually stopped.

As they looked in, they saw Floramon stood there but she looked different, her flower hands had turned from purple to cherry blossom pink and the flowers around her neck became pink as well, the flower she had touched was gone. "Floramon?" asked Danni looking into the cave "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I think so." she said turning and smiling at her.

Suddenly the cave she was in started shaking and rocks started falling, Floramon ran for the exit and leaped into Danni's arms as the cave collapsed.

"What the hell caused that?" asked Rhys

"Are you okay?" asked Danni still holding Floramon

"Yeah, I'm fine." she answered as Danni put her down. Before they could talk or move further, from the rubble a giant creature made of stone burst through and knocked them all back, "What the hell is that?" Rhys yelled

"It's Golemon, but this is strange, he is usually a calm Digimon." said Impmon, it then roared and the ground shook

"You stole my flower!" He yelled then looked at Danni and Floramon"You have my flower, you will be my flower now!"
"Not a chance big guy, she stays with me." Danni yelled holding Floramon close to her
"I'll just have you both." he yelled then reached out to grab them
"Night of blizzard!" said Impmon sending dark energy from his hands at Golemon's head but it didn't faze him, he just stopped for a second then went to grab Danni and Floramon but Danni pushed Floramon out of the way and Golemon only grabbed her.

"Danni!" Rhys yelled "Impmon, do something!"
"I have to protect her!" Impmon thought to himself then began to glow but as he was about to Digivolve he saw glowing red eyes in the distance staring right at him, their evil intent and terrifying glare paralysed him, stopping him from Digivolving.
"What happened Impmon?" asked Rhys but Impmon was still in shock and couldn't answer. Floramon picked herself up and saw Danni being crushed by Golemon and she began to glow but once again the eyes appeared but she glared back at them and powered through, then the light completely covered her.

"Floramon Digivolve to... Kabukimon!!"

Kabukimon stood before Golemon, who looked down at her with Danni still in his hand, he then threw Danni at Rhys, who caught her but was knocked down "My flower!" Golemon roared and raised his fist but then Kabukimon began to dance.

Her fluid movements made Golemon stop and stare at her, he even leaned in to look closer. Then as her back was turned to him she fired of the petals around her head and they hit him on the side of his head "Lion Dance!!" she said upon impact.

Kabukimon turned with grace as her petals re-grew and Golemon landed with a large thud. He then turned his back to Kabukimon "Sulphur Plume!!" he yelled as red hot smoke shot from the holes on his back. The heat was powerful but Kabukimon with stood it. She raised her hands "Cherry Blossom Storm!!" a vortex of cherry blossoms cut through clouds of smoke, dispersing them, then hitting Golemon cutting him up. As Golemon roared in pain from the cuts, a black gear emerged from his shoulder, flew into the sky, then exploded. Kabukimon stopped attacking when Golemon hit the ground "Ow." he yelled in pain "What happened?" his voice was much smoother, still rough but not angry rough.

Kabukimon de-digivolved back into Floramon. "You're a Floramon, why are you pink?" he asked
"I found your flower and when I touched it I changed." Floramon explained calmly

"My flower? I was told to guard it over 100 years ago by the former rulers of the Digital World. They said that it would only respond to it's rightful owner, it must belong to you." he said. He spoke slowly making him sound very wise and very old.

"You have been here for 100 years? That must have been lonely." said Danni
"It went fast. I barely noticed." said Golemon
"Why did you attack when Floramon took the flower?" asked Rhys still a bit on edge.
"I got hit by something and it made me lose control of myself. I'm really sorry." he said sincerely
"It's okay. Nobody was hurt." said Danni with a smile.
"We need to head back to the others." said Impmon "What will you do now, Golemon?" asked Floramon
"I will go home. Hopefully my people are still there." he said but with a tone that sounded like he didn't believe they would be.
"I'm sure you will find a place to call your home even if it's not were you remember." Danni said to him with a smile and he brightened up.
"Your smile gives me hope, thank you." he said smiling back at her.

They then began heading back to the lake waving goodbye to Golemon and him waving back with a smile.

When they arrived back at camp they explained what happened and they gave Rhys and Danni their fish to eat and gave Impmon and Floramon some berries and other fruits. "So Floramon Digivolved." said Ash with interest "I would have loved to have seen it."

"What happened with Impmon sounds odd though. To be stopped mid-evolution, it must have been quite scary." said Sam was still trying to process what he knew about Digimon and the Digital world.
"It was odd. I have no idea what those eyes were or who they belonged to." said Impmon

"I've never heard of digivolution being stopped except for when the Digimon doesn't have enough energy." said Ash trying to think about what it could have been but then just shrugged it off as something weird that happened.

After they finished eating they went back to the tram to settle in for the night. "Right then. Before we sleep we need to talk about guard duty." said Ash at the front of the tram.
"Why? I don't think anything will come for us in here." said Becca cuddling up to Lopmon who was very warm.
"Even I don't know what manner of creature will come out at night. All I know is, it will likely be big enough to just see this as a food tin." he said slightly scaring the group "I can keep watch through the night with Keramon, if you guys want to get some rest."
"No way Ash. You need your rest as well." said Joe "We should take it in turns."

"Not James. He is too young." said Becca showing concern for her little brother.
"Danni too." said Rhys not wanting her to get in anymore trouble

"Aw man." said James huffing.
"I'm not complaining. I'm tired." said Danni yawning

"I'll take the first shift." said Rhys "I'll get to sleep longer that way."
"I'll go next, then Sam, and Joe can finish up the night." said Ash
"Okay then. Me and Impmon will go set up a fire outside." said Rhys "You guys get some rest." he said exiting the tram. The rest of the group got comfortable and fell asleep in various places around the tram.

Ash was sat near a door still awake while Keramon was asleep next to him. He looked over the group and hoped the night would be uneventful.

However, things never go as you hope. For as they sleep, something lurks in Crown Jewel Lake.
