The great outdoors is truly a wonderful experience to behold! Smelling the scent of the trees along with the fresh air of the mountains. How nature thrives in it's element! Though this nature can seem like a dreamland. One that may turn into a nightmarish mess. Digimon Ghost Game! Camping in Nightmare Forest!

"A camping we will go~ A Camping we will go~ Off we go with friends in tow~ A Camping we will go~" Gammamon sung merrily as the group of friends made there way to the agreed upon location.

After hearing from Jellymon and Shiramon what they learned about Espimon, the group recieved a unanimous invite to a camping grounds. It was from Skullmeramon . He stated in the invitation that his partner would like to chat with them.

The group immediately thought of Koi. The boy behind it all. The one who had the final pieces of the mystery puzzle revolving around the "Dark Mist" children. Of what N.E.S.T had done to them. Skullmeramon was familiar with Koi enough to listen to him. Possibly because they may be partners. At the bery least, that digimon must know something about the mysterious boy Koi.

"Gammamon seems better" Mei smiled. Happy to see the child digimon back to normal.

His smile always made her happy whenever she felt at her lowest. One she intents to protects as long as she draws breathe.

"Yeah. I told him that Piximon when on a journey. That one day the two of them would meet again. He seemed happy about that" Hiro explained as he walked with Mei.

"I see" Mei sighed. Then asked the question on her mind. "How are you dealing with all this? Gulusgammamon just killed a good friend of yours. I didn't know Piximon that well but he seems like a good mon. I know I am not the emotional one of the group, though I want to be the one to help you through this. So if you ever need someone to listen, or a shoulder to cry on then I will be there" She knew better than anyone how lost and effect some one.

She had first hand experience after all. She became a cold person at the death of her three younger brothers. How that lost puts a barrier around one's heart to make them cold and distance from everything. As well as everyone around them too. It nearly overtook her if not for meeting Hiro and the others.

Now it was her turn to make sure that same barrier doesn't take over Hiro or Gammamon. Mei chose to be their knight to fight back such darkness. aTo always help them through their pains and be there for them.

Like Hiro had never left her side when she had lost Shiramon after the defeat of Malicemon. The days she just wallow in her own sorrow. The days that she would lock herself in her room and he would sit with her. Either said a word but Mei truly appreciated how he never left her side. He tend to the babies whenever she refused to leave the bed. It was his support that gave her the strength to leave that room and reunite with Shiramon.

She intented to return the favor. She ruffled Hiro already a mess of a hairstyle playfully. He maybe a trouble magnet. Though he was a trouble magnet that she had grown to love as her own brother.

Though they were not the only two that had problems to deal with. Jellymon and Shiramon also had some issues of their own. Even now, Shiramon still refused to talk to Jellymon since their girl's day.

"Hey Shiramon, why don't we share a tent?" Jellymon offered. Holding up a soft pink bag that contained a princess castle like tent.

Shiramon ignored her. Going over to Gammamon as he held her hand. Showing Shiramon all the things that Hiro had taught him about camping. Completely acting as if Jellymon wasn't there at all.

Jellymon sighed greatly. "She's still mad" She looked down sadly. "Darling I messed up so badily...."

"Well have you tried apologizing her yet? Shiramon may forgive you if you just tell her that you're sorry" Kiyo suggested as he helped Hiro set up the tents.

"Like saying sorry is all that it's gonna take! I have to get on her good side till this all blows over." She refused to apologize

Her pride getting in the way from mending her friendship. Trying to take an alternative route  from just plain old apologizing.

"Jellymon sama...." Kiyo knows better than anyone that Jellymon was stubborn when it comes to admitting she was wrong.

The whole incident that the Antylamons were involved were probe of that. Took her to the very end to apologize and admit that she was completely wrong to begin with.
Ruli and Mei were preparing dinner for everyone since the clearing they came was quite far from the usual sites.

They had chosen a large clearing that the tall pine trees seem to cover them like a protective wall that shielded them from the harash chilling winds. The warm crismon and orange flames from their camp fire illuminate the campground in a warm embracing glow. It soon became filled with the aromas of the girl's cooking.

Stew that was chalked filled with beef and vegetables in a thick creamy broth. A meal that would filled their stomaches for the battle that would soon come.

"Woah...Mei actually made something edible?" Hiro joked. He could recall that Mei only flaws were her social skills and her deadly cooking.

"Oh hush up Hiro!" Mei eye rolled as she ate her meal. "My cooking isn't that bad"

Says the girl who nearly poisoned them with her homemade chocolate candy. It must have been the very first time that Gammamon had rejected a "Champion" as far as anyone had seen. No wonder why she gets alot of takeout.

Jellymon ate close by Shiramon. Slowly moving closer to her as she attempted to make conversation with her. Shiramon just finished her meal and left the minute that she got close enough.

Though the fire had gone out and was replaced with a blue hellfire one. Everyone was on high alert. They knew what would come next, so they skiped straight to evolution.

"Gammamon digivolve to.....Betelgammamon!"

"Jellymon digivolve to......Teslajellymon!"

"Angoramon digivolve to......Symbareangoramon!"

"Shiramon digivolve to......Hanshiramon!"

"I see you all are wide awake and alert. Funny. I sleep most of my live and it seems it's only to tell my story" A boy steps out from the trees that were now ablazed with blue flames.

Skullmeramon walked with him. It could only mean that Skullmeramon was this boy's digimon partner. Looks like Koi would have to be confronted another day.

"Who are you?" Ruli asked. Symbareangoramon kept close to her.

The boy possessed a oval and round face with orange short hair. He had grey sleepy looking eyes that looked ready to dooze off any moment now. He wore a grey kangaroo pajama onesie. From the looks of it, he was just eight years old. The youngest human to be ever be seen partnered with a digimon. In On his onesie hoodie was a keychain like device. He wore slippers that ressembled kangaroo feet.

"My...name...is...Paul...Watson..." He seemed to be dozing off.

Must be pass the little one's bed time for the little guy. It reminds Mei of her younger brothers that clibged to her while falling asleep. Sure brings back memories.

Skullmeramon scooped up the child in his arms. Careful that his flames did not burn his dear partner whil he nodded of in his arms.

"Really Paul....you only just woke up and now you fall asleep again. Fine....I'll handle this" He sighed. "Darn N.E.S.T. giving you that liquid to put you in a near constant state of sleep"

"So it's not his powers?" The file that Mei read that claimed that the "Dark Mist" had put him in that sleeping state

"Nope. Those so called N.E.S.T lab rats feared his power to taken and erase evolutions to transfer into his own powers. I could only watch helplessly while the guards held me back, injecting poor Paul with some of Bakumon mist mixed in with Pillowmon sleep bubble liquid. Putting him in a permanent sleep like state. One that he only wakes up from for an hour max. Even Koi couldn't reverse the effects of what those sick humans did. All because heroes of the past were spotted by them. Taking a piece of their history to make use their personal digimon stopping lapdogs. A dark power that they wanted to use for themselves" He growled as he remembered those days.

"You mean the "Digi Destinies" of the past right? I learned from a friend of mine. They're a detective who learned that heroes that partnered with digimon had been around for years before we met our digimon. Meaning that something in that past had also been involved in making the "Dark Mist". Mei revealed what she learned from her friend's research. They had found a photo that had all the "Dark Mist"  kids from an event in digimon history.

"I see now why Koi wanted me to spare your life. Only the queen of information could find the one thing that those scientists  worked so hard to bury. Wished you all were around back then. Maybe we wouldn't suffer. Those humans just don't care. Paul is just eight. EIGHT! TELL HOW HUMANS ALLOWED AN EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILD TO SUFFER SUCH TORMENT TO THE POIBT WHERE HE HAD TO BECOME A SPIRIT?! DID HE MEAN NOTHING TO HIS LOVED ONES?! WERE THE LIVES OF OUR PARTNERS NOT ENOUGH?! ONLY TO DREAM ABOUT WHAT HIS LIFE COULD HAVE BEE! WHY?! WHY?!!!" He  erupts from anger beforw he goes in to attack.

"FLAME CHAIN!" The attack was solely aimed at Teslajellymon.

She didn't have enough time to react though. Luckily someone pushed her out of the way.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO GET DELETED?! She opened her eyes and was shocked to see that Hanshiramon had saved her.

"I..." She saw her burned arm. The attack did seem to make some type of contact. Just enough to leave a nasty burn below her cursed mark. "Your arm....."

"I've taken much worse" She had fought fire using digion in her assassin career that she had grown used to getting burned.

"I'm sorry...." That's all she could manage to say.

"Keep your eyes on the opponent. Apologizing is not a wise move in  a ongoing battle" Hanshiramon got ready to face Skullmeramon when a sound made het pause. It was the sound of fresh tears coming from Teslajellymon.

"I'm sorry I made you mad....I was so full of myself that I hurt my possible true digimon gal pal.....can you forgive me?" She asked. Awaiting the answer that Hanshiramon was about to give her.

There was silence. Other than Betelgammamon and Symbareangoramon fight against Skullmeramon. It had seemed that time had stoped for the other two digimon.

Like Clockmon had placed them in frozen time with his "Chrono Breaker".

Hanshiramon turned to her. "Forgiven. Though next time you brag, I get to knock you back to earth, agreed?" She offered her a hand to help her up.

Telsajellymon took the hand and got up "Agreed!"

Their friend had rekindled and they were going to face this foe together.

Kiyo and Mei turned to share a glance before nodding.

"Multislash Soulstrike!"

"Punishune!"

The two attacks combine which landed a massive hit at Skullmeramon who started to slowly become deleted.

Not before two bits of "Dark Mist" entered the bodies of Betelgammamon and Hanshiramon.

Paul had died in his sleep all due to the fear of those who could not control him or his power. Though at least now that je is not tethered to the earth plane, his spirit could finally be free.

Gammamon and Shiramon turned back and returned to their partners. Ready to finish camping before they would return home.

Unaware that they had just fallen into Anika true plans.

What does Anika have planned? What will happen to Shiramon and Gammamon? What is the the hisory that Mei and Skullmeramon spoke of? Find out soon!
