The dancing ghost, Bakemon.
The children were forcibly separated by Devimon, but Taichi and Yamato, along with Mimi and Koushiro, were somehow able to meet up again. How are Sora and Jyou doing among the five remaining children?
At the top of the Infinity mountain, was Devimon standing, and he was looking all around the bright ocean and the different island pieces. He smirked evilly.
"Chosen children, curse the fates that have befallen you" he then said and chuckled rather darkly at that.
At the same time Jyou was on his bed floating around in the ocean somewhere along with Gomamon. However things weren't looking bright for them.
"This is why I didn't want to come to camp" Jyou uttered as he was hanging over the edge of the bed.
He turned slowly towards his partner who was eating something. It took Jyou only a second to realize that Gomamon had eaten their emergency provisions, who had been in his bag.
"Ahr, did you eat all of it?!" Jyou yelled up and looked at Gomamon. Gomamon nodded slightly, which made Jyou even more pissed.
"This is why I didn't want to come to camp!" Jyou shouted angrily and looked at Gomamon "I have to study for entrance exams next year, to get into a prestigious middle school". Gomamon looked puzzled at him.
"There's no point in telling me that, since there's nothing I can do about it.." Gomamon replied slowly. That only pissed Jyou more off.
"Then who do I tell?!" Jyou yelled and were shaking Gomamon like hell. "There's no one here but me and you Gomamon!".
"Well that is true, but we should try floating here with a bit more hope in our hearts" the digimon replied slowly when Jyou stopped shaking him. "That way we won't end up seasick. Um I mean bed sick, and..".
"What do hope and seasickness have to do with each other!" Jyou shouted firmly and shook Gomamon once again. That until he was feeling very uncomfortable and ended up puking over the railing of the bed. He had gotten seasick.
"Are you okay?" Gomamon asked worriedly and patted his back to make him more comfortable. Jyou groaned weakly at that.
"I am not okay" he replied and sighed deeply. His partner did the same thing.
"Oh geez, that was why I said to have more hope" He advised and then suddenly uttered rather stunned.
Jyou followed his gaze to see what Gomamon was looking at, and noticed a giant wooden box floating in the water. The current were driving it towards them rather fast.
"A box" Gomamon questioned puzzled.
"Maybe it has food" Jyou uttered happily "Like bottles of fresh water and sterilized food packages". Gomamon were not so sure though.
"There is no way that is true" he replied.
"You just told me to have more hope right now!" Jyou shouted and once again shook Gomamon like hell.
At some point Gomamon made him calm down however. At the same time, the giant wooden box had just reached their floating bed, and Jyou was very eager to open it. That until the lid suddenly exploded in million pieces and Ogremon appeared from inside the box.
"Too bad I am not food" Ogremon told them, and swung his bone club at them. Jyou and Gomamon quickly dodged by jumping over it. "I'll be the one to kill the chosen children".
He swung his bone club again, and again. And again. Jyou and Gomamon dodged his attack by jumping over it, over ducked themselves down under. That game continued for a little while, until Ogremon didn't find that funny enough. That and foolish, so he smashed his bone club in the bed instead, breaking it in two.
"Marching fishes!" Gomamon shouted as Jyou and him were about to hit the ocean. Fishes from all sort of places appeared in the ocean and began attacking Ogremon.
"Wh-wh-what are those things?!" Ogremon uttered confused and tried shielding himself from the attacking fishes.
In the meantime, Jyou was looking rather stunned at the whole scene. He was still on a little piece of the bed, who hadn't sunken in the sea just yet. Gomamon was at the railing on the other piece of the broken bed.
"The thoroughly evil digimon Ogremon is being defeated by the likes of fish?!" he uttered rather confused. Gomamon smiled at that.
"Ogremon grew up in the great canyon mountains, so he should be weak against the smell of raw sea fish" his digimon then replied.
That until Ogremon used 'Haouken' on the small fishes and made them return to the sea. Gomamon smiled sheepishly.
"..Or so I thought, but guess not" his partner then replied. Jyou looked rather horrified and annoyed at that. What should they do now?
"You're next!" Ogremon shouted and slammed his bone club at Jyou now. He was petrified with fear now. Luckily him being in danger, triggered Gomamon to evolve.
"Gomamon Shinka Ikkakumon!".
The giant white walrus digimon Ikkakumon had now appeared in the ocean and surprised Ogremon deeply for a second. Then he fired his Haouken with rapid fire at Ikkakumon. At first it really looked like Ogremon was gonna win this, but the Ikkakumon got a shot in under his parade, and hit him hard.
"Harpoon Vulcan!" Ikkakumon shouted and fired his special attack.
It hit Ogremon right now, and created a lot of smoke. The digimon turned to his partner now.
"Jyou, climb up on my back" Ikkakumon instructed and Jyou did just that.
"You're not getting away!" Ogremon shouted, but then a wave hit him, as Ikkakumon was about to leave.
The green ogre got a little surprised. He wanted to follow, but sadly the green digimon couldn't swim, which means Ikkakumon and Jyou got away from now. Jyou sighed relieved.
"I knew it was wrong idea to come to camp.." he uttered, but then noticed Ikkakumon had gotten slower. His partner looked really tired.
"I am tired" Ikkakumon then said. His eyes were beginning to close.
"I can see that.." Jyou said worriedly "You must've used up all your energy in that battle".
He had just said that, when Ikkakumon began to glow and changing size. Soon he was Gomamon size, which made both Jyou and a tired Gomamon fall down into the sea.
Someplace else, a fishing lure hit the sea, at some weird island. A bed was shown in the waters near the coast, and Piyomon was jumping around at the coast line, looking at Sora who was sitting at the edge of a cliff, and were trying to get a fish with her self-made fishing pole.
"Your fishing?" Piyomon questioned. Sora nodded sheepishly.
"I thought I should try get some food" she then replied with a smile.
"You are so smart" Piyomon uttered and rubbed her tummy "I am starving".
"The bait is just a twig though" Sora then said rather embarrassed "It'd be great if some fish out there thought it was a worm. How'd things look in there?". Sora's eyes were fixated on all the fog who was around them. Piyomon didn't look so happy.
"I can't see a thing in there, but I think this is a piece of the island" Piyomon then replied. The pink digimon's eyes widened seconds after. "Ah looks like you caught something".
Sora turned her gaze back to her pole, and saw that Piyomon was right. Her fishing pole was suddenly moving a lot around.
"There is a big fish that's stupid enough to think a twig is a worm" she then uttered and had a firm grip in the pole now.
She tried pulling it in. It was a lot harder than she thought it would be. She even had to get up and use all her might to get it drawn in. Piyomon even had to help her. They pulled harder and harder, and suddenly something showed in the surface of the ocean. A human with blue hair and glasses.
"Jyou sempai?!" Sora uttered stunned, but then she had to grab the pole a little bit better.
Gomamon soon showed beside him, which confused them even more, but soon they had pulled them both up on the coast.
Camp fire was made, along with a bed made out of leaves for Jyou. He was still unconsciousness, and had drunken a lot of sea water. They had decided to let him rest. In the meantime Gomamon was telling them how they ended up in this situation. He told them about Ogremon's attack, and that he had saved Jyou by being Ikkakumon, but in the end, didn't have enough strength to bring him to land, before he changed back. Gomamon had woken up down in the ocean, and found Jyou there together with him. He was unconscious of course, but Gomamon knew he needed to get Jyou to safety, and tried getting him up to the surface. Sadly he was not strong enough, and his power was fading. When he was about to give up, he saw Sora's lure, and tied it instead around Jyou, and that was how they came up shore. Sora and Piyomon looked rather surprised by that, but they were happy they had rescued Jyou before it was too late. Gomamon looked worriedly at his partner.
"Can I ask you a favor?" he then asked Piyomon and Sora.
"What is it?" Piyomon questioned puzzled.
"It is about Jyou" Gomamon replied slowly "He's turning more and more timid by the second". Sora smiled a sad smile at that.
"Well he was never that strong of heart to begin with" she then replied.
"I don't know what will happen from now on. If he stays like this, we can't have a proper adventure" Gomamon now said firmly.
"So what should we do?" Piyomon questioned puzzled.
"Make him our leader so he can gain confidence" Gomamon replied.
He had just said that, when groaning sounds could be heard from Jyou, and he stirred from his slumber. Soon he also opened his eyes and took a look at his surroundings.
"Gomamon, Sora kun, Piyomon" he uttered rather happily and gazed around. "Where is everyone else?". Sora shrugged a little at that.
"We don't know. We just got here ourselves" she replied and noticed Jyou look rather depressed by those news. Sora looked over at Gomamon and the seal nodded. She continued quickly "That is why you should be our leader, Jyou sempai".
Jyou looked utterly shocked at them for that. Piyomon was holding up her wing in agreement, and Gomamon his 'hand'. They all agreed.
"W-wait.. wait just a minute" Jyou uttered scared. He didn't want to become leader.
"You're the only one who can do it" Sora encouraged and the digimon nodded in agreement.
Jyou looked rather stunned at them. He closed his eyes for just a sec, but when he opened them, he looked much more brave and determined.
"Fine then! I'll become the leader!" He shouted encouraging. As he did that, bells could suddenly be heard all around here. Jyou looked puzzled at them.
"Is that bell ringing to celebrate me becoming leader?" He then questioned.
"It can't be" Sora replied with a weird smile. She didn't know what was going on here either. Piyomon and Gomamon were looking around as well.
"Look the fog is lifting" Piyomon replied.
Now they could see the whole island. A forest were the first thing they saw. Then the hill in the middle, and up on the top, barely visible was a church. It was there the bells were ringing from.
"It is a church!" Gomamon uttered puzzled. Jyou eyes widened.
"There might be humans there this time" he replied firmly.
"Y-you really think so?" Sora questioned slowly.
"Let's check it out!" Piyomon uttered, but was stopped by Sora.
"Wait, Jyou is our leader" she replied and turned to him "Leader, what shall we do?".
"W-W-Well, th-that is.." Jyou uttered rather scared and looked around on everyone. Until he realized there were no one who made the decision for him. He was the one to decide. He went thoughtful for a bit then.. "O-okay everyone, l-let's go".
Soon the group were wandering through the woods, towards the church at the top of the hill. After an exhausted walk, Jyou made the group stop up. They were now at the top of the hill, and the church could be seen in the horizon now. However here at the top of the hill, they had a good view all over the island.
"Just like we thought, this place really was part of File Island before it broke up" Jyou now proclaimed and looked towards the church now. "Alright, now we can finally meet humans besides us in that church". Sora looked puzzled at him.
"Do you still believe that?" She questioned in disbelief.
"Yes! They must be there this time!" Jyou said in a firm voice.
"But you have no proof of that" Sora replied slowly, but that only worked up Jyou.
"I'm the leader!" He shouted angrily and ignored Sora's replies. Instead he walked forward in quick movements "Let's go!". Sora and the rest of the gang looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Why is he getting so worked up?" Sora then questioned.
"He's turned into more of a leader" Gomamon replied with a smile.
"Oh really?!" Sora said and chuckled at that.
Soon they reached the church through some narrowed pathway, and suddenly they could hear some kind of music. The gang stopped surprised up.
"What's that?" Piyomon questioned puzzled, and listened.
"Go take a look, leader!" Sora said firmly. Jyou froze at that.
"Go look!" Piyomon uttered as well. Jyou went silent for a while. He didn't know what to do. However when Gomamon suggested he went on instead, Jyou stopped him. He was after all the leader here.
"Th-there's no need for you to do that. I'm the leader, so I'll do it" Jyou proclaimed in an angry tone.
He approached the church and this weird music. In the background the trio was smirking evilly. They had tricked Jyou to go look for them. Jyou were sliding close to the wall of the church, as he approached this strange music rather carefully. He took a sneak peek around the corner, and his eyes widened in surprise. Humans! A lot of humans were dancing around, for some kind of festivity. Jyou rushed back as fast as he could. He even ran to far, tumbling around in the bushes as he reached Sora and the others. Sora and the digimon looked puzzled at him.
"Th-There really are humans here. A lot of them!" Jyou now yelled, as he got out of the bushes.
Sora couldn't believe what she was hearing. Soon her and Jyou were at Jyou's old peaking spot. There they could really see a lot of humans dancing.
"What are they doing?" Gomamon questioned in a puzzled tone.
"It looks kinda fun" Piyomon added. Jyou looked at all the humans as well.
"Why are they dancing?" he questioned now too.
"Is this a festival?" Sora asked out loud as well.
"This is a carnival where we give offerings to Bakemon-sama" a voice behind them suddenly said.
Jyou and Sora freaked out a lot by that. They turned surprised around and saw some kind of weird priest behind him. He was wearing priest ropes and a weird mask on his face. He greeted them, and soon let them inside the church, where a lot of priests were assembled around a weird altar. The kids and digimon were guided down the aisle by the priest.
"I'd like to ask something" Gomamon then said and the group stop up halfway there. The priest turned towards them. He encouraged Gomamon to continue.
"You mentioned a Bakemon-sama.." Gomamon began saying in a confused tone "The Bakemon I know is, a ghost digimon who lives in the overdell graveyard. I really don't think he's worthy enough given offerings, and called with a 'sama' added to his name..". (Note: 'Sama' is a polite add-on indicating reverence and worship)
"Me neither" Piyomon said and went thoughtful. The priests didn't like it though.
"God does not forgive those who speak rudely of Bakemon-sama" he sneered angrily.
"I am sorry" Piyomon and Gomamon uttered in unison now.
"Where's your offerings?" Sora now questioned and looked around "I don't see it anywhere". The priest looked firmly at them.
"It's here" he then proclaimed. Sora and the others looked puzzled around.
"Where?" Jyou said in a puzzled tone. The priest looked at them. They couldn't see his eyes for that mask he was wearing, but they had a weird feeling he was glaring.
"Our offering to Bakemon-sama is.." he began saying, before his mask slowly crumbled, showing off the cloaked monster beneath. "You!".
Jyou and Sora literally freaked out, when a ghost suddenly popped out under the mask and clothes.
Bakemon.
Adult.
Ghost digimon.
Type: Virus.
Special attack: Hell's hand.
A ghost digimon that wears a white sheet. No one knows what it's true form looks like underneath.
"Ahr Bakemon!" Piyomon uttered in a scared tone, and Gomamon continued "So that means..".
He had just said that, when all the priests shed their human bodies and became Bakemon's as well. All of them were in reality Bakemon's. Jyou and Sora didn't think twice about running, and rushed out of the church, with the 8 Bakemon after them. Sadly they only reached outside to see a graveyard with humans standing there. They of course all were Bakemon's as well.
"Overdell graveyard" Piyomon uttered in a scared tone as the humans also became Bakemon's. They were trapped. The ghost digimon began surrounding them.
"Magical fire!" Piyomon yelled and flew up and fired her special att at one of the Bakemon. It did hit, but there were way too many to fight.
"Gomamon Shinka.." Gomamon yelled and collapsed to the ground, with a rumbling tummy. He looked guilty up at Jyou now "I can't evolve now, because I used it up earlier". Jyou looked rather horrified by that.
"Piyomon Shinka.." Piyomon yelled but soon fell to the ground because she was hungry as well. Sora looked worriedly at her partner.
"I am so hungry, I can't evolve" Piyomon said in a weak voice now.
Jyou and Sora looked rather scared now. They couldn't make their partner evolve, and they were surrounded by ghost digimon's.
Soon they were also overpowered by them. The digimon got kicked into the dungeon and locked in a cell, while the Bakemon tied up Sora and Jyou to their alter, as offerings for Bakemon-sama. Jyou and Sora could see how the Bakemon's were dancing around them, making some kind of ceremony.
"Are we really going to be offered to Bakemon-sama?" Jyou questioned scared.
"It looks that way.." Sora replied slowly.
"I knew I should have stayed home studying instead of coming to camp" Jyou cried out. Sora rolled her eyes at that.
"There he goes again" she mumbled out.
Two Bakemon's were flying over them. They were carrying a giant salt and pepper tub, which they rained down on them. The pepper made Jyou sneeze. Sora looked up at them with sheepishly look.
"I-I think you should keep it light on the salt, don't you?" she questioned.
"That's true" the Bakemon holding the salt then said "They do say that eating many salty things isn't good for your body". Jyou looked horrified now.
"I knew it! Bakemon-sama is planning to eat us!" he yelled up.
"Just who is this Bakemon-sama?!" Sora uttered scared as well.
Inside the dungeon cell, was Gomamon and Piyomon of course struggling to get out.
"These walls are too thick for us to break down" Gomamon uttered annoyed.
"But we have to get out somehow" Piyomon replied just as annoyed.
Snoozing sounds could now be heard, and the digimons noticed a sleeping guard Bakemon some meters away from their cell. Clearly he was there to make sure they didn't run away. Gomamon got a bright idea.
"Let's trick this Bakemon into getting us out. He looks stupid enough" He now said.
"How do you know he is easy to fool?" Piyomon questioned.
"Digimon who sleep with a mucus bubble coming out of their noses are easy to fool" Gomamon replied proudly. His knowledge on such subjects were outstanding.
"Is it really a good idea to judge based on that?" Piyomon questioned puzzled. Gomamon nodded eagerly to that. Piyomon continued "So how do we do it?".
"Just follow me" Gomamon said and lifted a pebble with his talons.
He aimed and tossed the people at the mucus bubble of this Bakemon. The bubble got destroyed with a little 'boom' and thereby woke up the Bakemon. He looked scared around.
"Bakemon!" Gomamon now shouted. The ghost digimon looked puzzled at him.
"Are you talking to me?" he questioned.
"Yup I am" Gomamon replied innocently. Bakemon tilted its head in confusion.
"What is it?" the ghost digimon then asked.
"Try and torture us" Gomamon replied. That made the ghost even more confused.
"We want to be tortured" Piyomon now added in.
"You two sure are some weird digimon" the Bakemon then replied.
"We're hungry" Gomamon then said "So why don't you eat something in front of us to torture us?!". Bakemon was really confused now.
"Could it be.. this graveyard is so poor that you don't have anything to eat?" Gomamon now questioned. That made the Bakemon pissed.
"Wh-what?!" He yelled up "No, we have a lot of food!".
"Then torture us with it" Piyomon uttered out.
"Okay" Bakemon replied and went out to find some food. A little while later, he come back carrying a bunch of purple Bananas.
"Look, doesn't it look tasty" he proclaimed and opened his mouth to eat the fruit, and thereby torture them with it.
"I am so hungry I can't see. Come closer" Gomamon uttered and made the Bakemon stop up. The digimon flew some step closer.
"I'm so hungry, I can't smell anything. Come a little closer" Piyomon now uttered.
In the end, they made the Bakemon so close, they could grab him, knock him out and steal the food in his arms. Their plans had been a success.
"This is enough to bring my energy back" Piyomon proclaimed rather happy and ate another banana.
Gomamon nodded eagerly with a smile, as he stuffed his face as well. Now they could save their partners.
At Jyou and Sora's end, the Bakemon were still chanting their ritual, but the two chosen children knew that the end neared here.
"M-my soul tastes bad" Jyou uttered scared and hoped they weren't gonna eat him.
"What?! Are you saying mine tastes better?" Sora uttered annoyed.
"Yeah, it properly tastes better than mine!" Jyou replied rather quickly.
"Jyou sempai! And you call yourself a leader?!" Sora screamed up now.
"Let us begin to call forth Bakemon-sama" One of the Bakemon then said, which all the others agreed on.
Jyou and Sora was not feeling so well now. All the Bakemon's in here, began dancing around in some weird circle. They got closer and closer together, where at the end, merged into a giant Bakemon, who could only be described as Bakemon-sama. Sora and Jyou let out a terrified scream. They were about to get eaten after all. However when all seems lost..
https://youtu.be/SJ7AAdVVFqc
(English version made by PelleK, on Youtube. Bought the song, but the video still doesn't belong to me. But still figured we could listen to it though)
"Gomamon Shinka Ikkakumon!".
As Bakemon-sama neared his offerings, Ikkakumon had charged at the ceiling below, and appeared just beside the alter, where Jyou and Sora was. Bakemon-sama looked rather annoyed.
"Piyomon Shinka Birdramon!".
Birdramon also appeared out of the hole Ikkakumon had made, and now both Digimon partners were present to save their chosen child.
"Ikkakumon, Birdramon!" Jyou uttered happily.
Soon they were free of the ropes, and were running as fast as they could outside the church, while their digimon partners were in a heated battle with Bakemon-sama. Not even seconds later, Bakemon had tossed Ikkakumon and Birdramon out of the church with it's awesome powers. Sora and Jyou looked scared from their hiding place beside the gravestones.
"Harpoon Vulcan!" Ikkakumon shouted and fired his special attack.
However sadly Bakemon caught the attack with his special move "Hell's hand" and tossed it away. Birdramon flew up in the air and tossed "Meteor wing" at him, but just like Ikkakumon's attack, Bakemon-sama wasn't affected by it.
"Bakemon-sama is much stronger than I thought" Sora uttered rather scared.
"Well, he is a ghost" Jyou replied slowly. Then an idea struck him. "To fight against a ghosts, you need to chant a sutra praying for god's grace". Sora were confused now.
"A what?" she questioned puzzled. Jyou looked firmly at her.
"By chanting the sutra, Bakemon-sama's power will be weaken" He replied firmly.
"Can you do that?" Sora questioned now. "Do you know any sutras?".
"Yes. My grandmother from the country taught me one so I could pray to do better on exams" Jyou replied and clenched his hand in firm matter.
"Will that work against Bakemon-sama?" Sora questioned in disbelief.
"It is a sutra, so it's gonna work!" Jyou replied rather confidentially.
"What's with that confidence" Sora replied stunned. She had never seen Jyou like this before "You're kinda scaring me".
However Jyou was not listening any longer. He had closed his eyes, clapped his hands together, and were beginning to pray. He was chanting in some weird rote, Sora didn't know off. She kinda didn't understand what he was saying, since he was saying it so fast. Then suddenly he looked at her.
"The ritual drum!" he shouted. Sora got a little surprised by that.
"Um eh okay" she uttered and looked around after something who could be used as a drum of kind.
Then she remembered her helmet. She took it off and gave it to Jyou. He slowly began hammering on her helmet with a stick, making a drum beat, while chanting the sutra. Surprisingly after some rounds of hammering and chanting, Bakemon-sama did look like it was shrinking. The ghost digimon also looked scared.
"Bakemon-sama's power really is getting weaker" Sora uttered stunned now.
"Ikkakumon, Birdramon! Now!" Jyou then shouted and made the digimon attack.
Ikkakumon fired his Harpoon Vulcan and Birdramon did meteor wing once again. This time however, Bakemon-sama's power was weaken, so he couldn't withstand their attack. When the attack hit, he exploded into nothing at all. They had won!
"Yes, we did it! We won" Jyou uttered happily and danced around.
"I have no idea what just happened, but it was so cool!" Sora then said and smiled happily along with Jyou. Birdramon and Ikkakumon let out their own cheering roar. They were all happy that it was over.
Cracks started to show in the ground now, and when Jyou and Sora looked down in those broken lines, they could see a lot of destroyed black gears down there. Rumbling sounds soon followed, as the gear disappeared entirely. They had stopped the island piece from moving. Jyou, Sora and their digimon turned towards Infinity mountain. It was there Devimon was.
"Infinity mountain" Jyou mumbled slowly.
"Everyone might be over there" Sora added.
"Let's take a look" Jyou replied and Sora nodded in agreement.
They both climbed up on their digimon and left towards Infinity mountain. Jyou on Ikkakumon's back across the sea, and Sora in Birdramon's claw across the sky. They didn't know what awaited them there, but that didn't matter. They were determined to find the others and rid the world of Devimon once and for all.
A,N: Well that was that episode. Not a long chapter though, but hope you liked it anyway. The next chapter is hopefully longer, and clearly more entertaining. Or so I hope. It is the chapter with the Zukizuma children Ryuhei and Chihori. They have landed on certain special island piece, and well I can tell you this. A lot of trouble is headed their way, along with devils, battles and certain legend of the Virus killer. So hope you find that interesting. I sure do. Lol.
