The Tomboy of Digidestined

Everyone was now on shore, and panting for breath after their escape from Kuwagamon and the lake.

"I think that took years off my life," Jo said as he caught his breath.

"Good thing those fish were having a school reunion," Gomamon said with a chuckle at his joke.

"Boo!" Impmon yelled, as he blew a raspberry at this bad pun, while pointing his thumb downwards.

"Oh come on, puns are not that bad," Sora said as she rolled her eyes.

"Eh, I gotta go with Impmon on this one," Sakuya said with a chuckle.

"You would. You were exactly like him when you were little," Sora said, as she remembered how immature Sakuya was when they were in kindergarten.

"So, you all change form's to fight?" Koushiro asked Tentomon curiously.

"Indeed, we all digivolved," Tentomon said, as he hovered next to Koushiro.

"Wow, you guys can change form so easily. That's so cool," Taichi said, as he smiled at Agumon.

"Well, it wasn't possible. In order to do that, I had to share your energy," Agumon said, smiling at Taichi.

"So, you guys can't do it on your own?" Sakuya asked Impmon curiously.

"Well, normally Digimon can only digivolve if they get stronger on their own. But that can take years, and you're lucky if you do it," Impmon said, as he placed his hands behind his head.

"… So we're like a cheat code for you?" Takeru asked curiously.

Taichi and Sakuya laughed at this, while Yamato chuckled at his little brother's comparison.

"Sorry to be a buzzkill, but I think we should get moving," Sora said, as she looked at the group.

"Yea. We don't know if that ugly bug will come looking for us," Mimi said with a worried tone

"We should probably go back to where we first met the Digimon. That way, the camp counselors can find us," Jo said.

"No way Jo. That's just asking for trouble from that bug." Sakuya said as she shook her head at this.

"Plus, what makes you think they'll even find us?" Koushiro asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, we need a direction to go," Yamato said.

"Well, when I was up in that tree before Kuwagamon showed up, I spotted the ocean," Taichi said.

"Cool! I wanna build a large sandcastle," Takeru said with a large grin.

"Ok, the ocean? That doesn't make sense. The camp wasn't anywhere near an ocean," Sakuya said with a frown.

"If we follow the river, we should make it to the ocean soon enough," Gomamon said, trying to help.

"Well, it's better than standing here in the open." Yamato said as he nodded, before they all started to walk.

As they walked, Sakuya looked at Impmon. "So, you say you were waiting for me?" She asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"Yup. Me and the others were all waiting for you guys," Impmon said simply.

"So, you all were born here?" Koushiro asked Tentomon.

"All Digimon were born in the Digital World," Tentomon said simply.

"Ok, hold on. Digital World?" Sakuya asked curiously.

"Oh yea. You and Mimi weren't around when they explained that they were Digital monsters, and that this is supposedly a Digital World," Taichi said, as he looked back at Sakuya.

"... So we're in another world?" Sakuya asked curiously.

"Oh yeah, like that's possible," Jo said with a shake of his head.

"Jo, we were attacked by a giant bug and saved by a group of little mascots," Sakuya said flatly

"Hmmmm, it's a solid hypothesis. Considering what we have seen so far," Koushiro said, as he thought about this.

"Well, I say that we are all dreaming, and this is just a bad nightmare," Jo said.

"Hmmm. Let's test that theory," Sakuya said, as she grabbed a stick off a branch, and swung it back before smacking it into the back of Jo's leg.

"Yeowch! What was that for? Jo yelled, as he hopped on one foot, while holding onto his leg.

"If this is all really a dream, you'd have woken up by now. Correct?" Sakuya asked with a grin.

"… Yes," Joe said with a depressed tone.

"Plus, if this was a dream, I would be swimming in a pool of ramen by now. Or running from the red headed witch," Sakuya said, as she threw her stick into the river.

"Pfft. You still dream about Aunty chasing you in her dojo?" Sora asked with a snicker.

"You train with her, then you can judge me," Sakuya said simply, as she crossed her arms.

"Dojo?" Impmon asked curiously, as he had never heard of this before.

"Think of it as a place where you learn to fight and defend yourself," Sakuya explained.

"You dream about ramen?" Mimi asked Sakuya with a giggle, finding this funny.

Sakuya pouted at this, while the others laughed.

"What's ramen?" Patamon asked with a curious tilt of his head.

"It's the best food ever," Sakuya said with a smile.

"According to you," Yamato said, as he rolled his eyes.

"You wanna pick a fight, pretty boy?!" Sakuya yelled, before Sora grabbed her by her ear, and twisted it.

"Fight, fight, fight!" Impmon yelled as he laughed, before Biyomon pecked him on the head a few times.

(Later)

A little later, the group made their way to the beach, which had a cliff overlooking it.

"Huh, so we are near the ocean," Yamato said, as this pretty much confirmed what Taichi said.

"Oh, that's just great," Jo said with a depressed sigh at this.

"Anyone else hear the ringing, or is that just cause of the abuse I took from the pink bird?" Impmon asked, as he pointed at his bandage from Biyomon's pecking.

"No, I hear it too," Taichi said, as the group looked down the beach, and spotted what looked like phone booths

"Hooray! We're saved! Now we can call the camp, and they'll send someone to pick us up," Jo said, as he ran for the phone booths.

The rest of the group followed Jo to the phone booths, but Sora stopped seeing Sakuya and Impmon not moving. "You coming cuz?" she asked curiously.

"What?" Sakuya yelled in an exaggerated way, as she held her hand to her hurting ear, making Impmon laugh.

"Oh, will you come on!" Sora yelled, as she grabbed Sakuya by the back of her shirt, and dragged her over to the phone booths.

"This is harrassentment! I want a lawyer!" Sakuya yelled out as she was dragged

"That doesn't work on Auntie, and it won't work on me," Sora said, as she rolled her eyes at this.

They all soon picked a phone and answered them, but…

"The number you are calling doesn't exist. Please hang up, and don't call back." the phone Sakuya was using said, after she called someone.

"Ok, either this is a prank, or the operator is drunk," Sakuya said, as she looked at the phone bewildered.

"Yea, it's no better over here," Koushiro said as he shook his head, as he hung up his phone. "Mine just told me about the weather in China, which is freezing cold."

Mimi frowned as she hung up her phone, as she looked down at the ground depressed.

"Ok, it looks like the phones are useless," Yamato said with a sigh, while Takeru and Patamon ran off to go play in the sand.

"So what do we do now?" Mimi asked as she looked up, while Sora patted her on the shoulder, comforting her.

"Well for now, we should all group up and go over what we know, what we have for supplies, and what we should do," Sakuya said, as she hung up her phone.

"Are those survival skills Uncle and Auntie taught you kicking in?" Sora asked curiously, as everyone, but Jo and Gomamon walked over to the cliff wall nearby, where they all sat down.

"Ok first of all, we should go over what supplies we all have," Koushiro said as he sat down.

"Well, I have a first aid kit. No food though… and the gadget that fell from the sky," Sora said, as she took out a small first aid kit she had, along with the device they got from summer camp.

"I forgot all about those strange gizmos," Taichi said, as he and everyone else took out their own devices.

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

"I'll take mine apart, once I've eaten something, as I'm famished. Plus, I also have my laptop, and a cellphone. But they haven't worked since we got here," Koushiro said, as he looked at his laptop with a sad look.

"I can't believe you brought all that to summer camp," Taichi said, as he shook his head at this.

"What have you got, Mimi. Some makeup and accessories?" Sora asked the girl, as she gestured to her bag.

Mimi opened up her bag, and tipped everything out. "I've got a compass, cooking fuel, a flashlight, one of those knives with all the things, and some other stuff," she said.

"… Well, Mimi is the winner of most prepared so far," Sakuya said with a chuckle.

"Why didn't you say you had a compass?" Yamato asked with a frown.

"I thought it would be fun to see how far we could go without one. Besides, it's broken," Mimi said with a smile, as she put everything back in her bag.

This got groans from everyone but Sakuya, who sighed at this.

"Well, we could use the cooking full to make a signal fire," Yamato said as he thought

"That's true. Someone's bound to spot it and come save us," Sora said with a nod

"Or we could barbeque some telephones," Takeru said, as he and Patamon were building some sandcastles.

"For now, we need food before we do anything that tiring," Koushiro said, rubbing his stomach.

"Oh! I have something!" Takeru said with a smile, as he took off his backpack and opened it, showing it was full of candy bars and cookies.

"Oh wow! Why don't you be a good boy, and share with Mimi?" Mimi said with a smile at the younger boy.

"Oh, you don't have to be nice, Mimi. I'm happy to share," Takeru said with a smile.

"What about you Sakuya, what's in your bag?" Taichi asked curiously.

Sakuya paused as she took off her backpack. "Um…" she said, as she backed up a little bit.

"Oh jeez. Get her!" Sora yelled, as she had a feeling what was in there.

Palmon grabbed Sakuya's bag with her vines, and pulled the bag away from Sakuya.

"Hey!" Sakuya yelled as she let go of the bag, which opened and what looked like packets flew out of the bag.

"Instant ramen?" Koushiro asked curiously, as he picked up one of the packets.

"Oh, I knew it," Sora said with a groan while rubbing her forehead, as she had a feeling her cousin would sneak his favorite food into summer camp.

"Wow, you like ramen don't you Sakuya?" Mimi asked, as she looked at all the ramen packets, which Sakuya put back into her backpack.

"Well, we have cooking tools thanks to Mimi, so we can cook that," Yamato said.

"Not that healthy though," Sora said with a flat look at her cousin.

"Don't judge me!" Sakuya yelled, as she put her ramen away

"Humans are silly," Patamon said to his fellow Digimon.

"Silly, but funny," Impmon said with a smile.

"Anyone else have anything? All I have is my pocket telescope," Taichi asked, hoping for some more food, or anything else useful.

Yamato held out his hand, showing his harmonica.

"What about you Jo?" Sakuya yelled over at the older boy, who was still using one of the phone booths.

"All I have is this bag of emergency supplies that Mimi was supposed to carry!" Jo yelled back, before he went back to his phone.

This made everyone give him a blank stare.

"And you call me a moron," Sakuya said to Sora, while Taichi and Yamato ran over to Jo to drag him away from the phone booths.

"You have a small army's supply of ramen in your backpack," Sora said, crossing her arms.

"See if I share now," Sakuya said with a grumble, hugging her backpack close.

Sora scowled at this, before she smirked as she walked over to Mimi and whispered into her ear.

Mimi raised an eyebrow at this, before she shrugged and walked over to Sakuya.

"Sakuya, can you please share your ramen with me? Please?" Mimi asked, as she made a begging face.

Sakuya looked at Mimi and tried to resist, before she handed her her backpack. "Ok," she said, as she lowered her head in defeat.

This got a laugh from Sora and Taichi, while Yamato and Koushiro shook their heads at how easy Sakuya was to manipulate.

"I will remember this cuz," Sakuya said with a flat look at Sora, while she tried to calm down from her laughter.

"Ok, after looking at the supplies Jo had, the candy Takeru had, and the ramen stash Sakuya had, I have done some calculations, and we have enough food for a few weeks. If we include the Digimon, it's more like three days," Koushiro said.

"Well, it's better than nothing I suppose," Taichi said as he nodded.

"Don't worry. Us Digimon hunt and forage for ourselves," Gabumon said, hoping to put them all at ease.

"Yeah, no need to include us in your calculations," Tentomon said.

"Well hold on, if you guys can hunt, why not teach us? And until then, can we share our food with you?" Sakuya asked curiously, as that made more sense to her.

"That could work. Especially if we are gonna be here for a while," Koushiro said with a nod, while rubbing his chin.

"This tastes great, huh Agumon?" Tai asked, as he ate some cookies, while Agumon ate a candy bar happily.

"Well, looks like Taichi and Agumon were already way ahead of us," Yamato said with a deadpan.

Before anyone could say anything else, they heard a rumbling sound and when they looked, they saw what looked like a mound of earth making its way to the phone booths. And when it reached them, the phone booths exploded and what looked like a giant shell started to dig its way out of the sand.

A large pink Digimon with a shell on its back appeared, glaring at the kids and their Digimon.

"Uh oh, that's Shellmon!" Tentomon yelled out.

"What's a Shellmon?" Koushiro asked worriedly.

"Something that gets really mad for no reason," Tentomon said simply.

Shellmon roared as he lowered his head, and fired a blast of water at the group from the green tentacles on its head.

"Everyone, take cover!" Sakuya yelled, as she e pulled Mimi behind a rock nearby, which everyone tried to follow them, but they were blasted with water.

"Digimon, attack!" Biyomon yelled, as she flew at Shellmon, while the other Digimon went to attack.

But as they tried to attack, nothing happened and everyone but Agumon fell over tired, before they were blasted back by Shellmon's water attack.

"Why aren't they able to fight?" Jo asked in a panic, as he ran to Gomamon.

"We're just too hungry," Tentomon groaned out, while Koushiro tried to help him to his feet.

"Crap. And Agumon is the only one that had anything to eat," Sakuya said, as she saw Impmon try to summon some fire, but had no luck before Shellmon sent him flying

"Ok Agumon, looks like it's up to us!" Taichi yelled to his partner.

"Then give me a diversion!" Agumon yelled at his partner, as he needed some help, since he was alone in this fight.

"Hey! Come and get me, you overgrown snail!" Taichi yelled, as he ran over to a metal pole that was a part of the destroyed phone booths and started to hit Shellmon with it.

Shellmon growled at this, before he used his green tentacle hair to grab Taichi.

"Hey! Let me go, you overgrown shellfish!" Taichi yelled, before Shellmon started to squeeze him, causing Taichi to yell out in pain.

"Pepper Breath!" Agumon yelled, as he fired an attack at Shellmon, which hit him in the face.

Shellmon growled at this, and raised his paw at Agumon, who tried to run away, but he was caught and pinned down to the ground.

"Great, now we are out of fighters," Sakuya said with a scowl, as she held up Impmon.

"What're ya talkin bout? I can still fight" Impmon groaned out.

"Buddy, you are hungry, just like the others. So stay down" Sakuya said to her partner.

"Taichi!" Agumon yelled out, as he was more worried about his human partner, as he cried out in pain.

Suddenly, Taichi's digivice glowed green, and Agumon started to glow brightly.

"What the?" Yamato asked in surprise at this.

"It's like what happened before," Sakuya said with wide eyes.

"Agumon digivolve to ... Greymon!" Agumon yelled out, as he turned into a giant T-Rex looking digimon, with a horn over his snout, and one either side of his head, along with blue stripes on his body.

Shellmon was sent flying, since the now much bigger Greymon had replaced the small Agumon, which also freed Taichi, who was sent flying into the sand near the others.

"Good job, oh fearless leader," Yamato said with a flat tone.

"Well, he kinda helped Agumon digivolve, so it's somewhat a victory," Koushiro said, as he helped Taichi up.

"Great Horns Attack!" Greymon yelled, as he charged at Shellmon, with his head lowered.

Shellmon tried to react, but Greymon was too quick, and grabbed him with his horns, and with a mighty lift of his head, he sent the shell Digimon flying in the air.

"Nice distance. I give it a 10 out of 10," Taichi said with a grin.

"Nova Blast!" Greymon yelled, as he fired a giant blast of fire, which hit Shellmon and sent him flying off into the distance.

"And he's going, going… gone!" Sakuya yelled with a smile.

"He's outta the ballpark!" Sora yelled with a grin of her own.

Greymon glowed and shrunk down back to Agumon, who collapsed.

"Hey, are you ok Agumon?" Taichi yelled as he ran over to the lizard Digimon.

"Taichi? Do you have any more food for me to eat?" Agumon groaned out.

Taichi laughed at this, before he nodded as he helped Agumon to his feet, and helped him walk back to the group.

A little later, everyone was gathered around as they were letting their Digimon eat some food, while they were all eating too.

"So, what's the plan now?" Sakuya asked curiously.

"Well, since there's phone booths here, it makes sense if other people are here too," Koushiro said, rubbing his chin in thought.

"Yea, but we shouldn't stay here," Yamato said with a frown.

"Yea. Shellmon might come back," Mimi said with a frown.

"Well, someones gonna have to tell Jo that," Sora said, pointing at Jo, who was using a broken phone.

"Hello? Operator? Operator?!" Jo yelled desperately into the destroyed phone.

"Jo, will you come on? This is getting sad, even for me!" Sakuya yelled at the older boy.

"Is she always so harsh?" Mimi asked curiously, as she didn't interact with Sakuya a lot back home.

"Nah, Sakuya is just blunt. It's her way of being kind by telling the truth," Sora said as she shook her head, knowing that while Sakuya was a prankster, mischievous and spoke her mind, she was never cruel.

"Ok, everyone is fed and full, so let's all pack up and get moving," Taichi said, as everyone and the Digimon had all eaten.

"Anywhere you want to go, I'll go Taichi. You just pick a direction." Agumon said with a smile.

Taichi smiled back, as he pointed up the cliffside nearby, which was climbable and led into the forest.

As they walked, Sakuya looked at Impmon. "So can all you guys digivolve more, like Agumon did?" She asked the imp Digimon.

"Yup, though we don't know what we will turn into." Impmon said with a pout, at the fact he didn't know what he would become after he digivolved.

"Probably a devil, with how mischievous you are," Mimi said, as she remembered Impmon's crack about her voice.

Impmon blew a raspberry at Mimi at this, not amused with her.

Sakuya smiled at this and patted Impmon on the head. "Don't worry buddy. I'm sure you will be something cool and strong," she said, as she encouraged her partner.

Impmon smiled at this and nodded. "Don't worry Sakuya, I'll be the baddest of the bad, and keep you safe!" he said, as he pumped his fists.

"… That's not exactly encouraging," Koushiro said with a sweatdrop, as they all made their way into the forest.
