Suddenly, they heard the flapping of wings above them. A green beetle-like creature was hovering above them. The Digivice displayed a visual in mid-air. Snimon, it read. "Let me handle this", said a Romanian guy with olive-toned hair, and an Omegamon beside him. "Negative", replied Omegamon. "I won't attack a Digimon that is of no use to you, Master Amadeus." "Let the new guy get some action", said Gennai, smiling. "Let's show 'em what we're made of, partner", said Keramon. "BUG BLASTER!!" The attack hit the Snimon's right flank, but it seemed unhurt. "Hahahaha! My turn!" it cackled in a voice full of malice. "Shadow Sickle!" "Everybody run!" ordered Gennai. Parth and the other didn't need telling twice. They ran into the forest overhead, disappearing in a thicket of trees. "You can run, but you can't hide!" As trees and twigs fell over the dodging and jumping Neo-Tamers, Parth's Digivice started beeping. It showed a direction arrow, mounted on the circumference of a dotted circle. "Why is his Digivice reacting?" said Amadeus, apparently shocked. "It can't be!" exclaimed the blonde girl with the cockney accent. Gennai grinned. "It most certainly is", said the Romanian youth. "You all are literally going to kill me with the suspense!" bellowed Parth. "Follow that arrow, kid", said Gennai. "That arrow will lead you to your first ever Digimental. Everybody follow the new kid!" "It's Parthasarathi", said Parth scathingly. Running frantically and dodging the falling debris of trees and branches and twigs, the fourteen Neo-Tamers soon reached the foot of the stairs of a temple. "Everybody stay low. Pat, you go up the stairs of the temple, and pick up the Digimental. Do not come back without it." "It's Parth!" he moaned, and began his arduous and steep climb up the twenty-four steps of the temple. "Oh no, you don't! Shadow Sickle!" The impact hit the centre of the thirteenth step, and the golden steps started to crumble beneath Parth's feet. Parth jumped onto the golden railing, clinging on for dear life. Snimon made another attack, but instead of brutally flinging Parth off the stairs, the impact of the attack landed him face-first onto the floor of the temple itself. "Ow!" said Parth. His Digivice beeped even faster and loudly. Parth looked up to see a gilded silver Digimental that seemed to have eyespots, bearing the symbol of the Crest of Miracles on it. In that moment, Parth knew what he had to do. Grabbing the Digimental, he lifted it effortlessly, as though it were a balloon. "DIGIMENTAL UP!" he shouted. Keramon was surrounded by a golden light, and a miraculous transformation took place. "Keramon Armor Digivolve to.....Argomon!" "What!?" exclaimed Parth. "This is...this isn't the right evolution." "I'm a Virus Attribute Digimon", said the giant Argomon, lifting Parth and placing him onto his shoulder. "This is the way I'm supposed to evolve, partner. Now, let's beat the crap out of him." "In your dreams", said the Snimon. "Shadow Sickle!" Argomon blocked the attack with his bare hands. "My turn", he said. "Vines of Armageddon!" Snimon was caught up in Argomon's vines and seemed paralysed. Even Parth could feel the tremor of the electric shock flowing out of the vines and into the Snimon's body. "Let me go!" it complained. "As you wish," said Argomon. "Time to end this. Defrag Punch!" Argomon raised a large hand to punch the Snimon in its thorax. The Snimon fell down with a decisive finality and disintegrated into a thousand tiny particles. "Scan data captured", said a female voice from Parth's Digivice. "You might want to get down now, partner", said Argomon, putting Parth down. "Thanks. And call me Kiwi, dude." The imposing figure of Argomon reverted back to the small Keramon, with a bright light. "Good work, slick", said Gennai. "But now it's time to get you to the Neo-Tamers camp."
