“Well,” said Nabiki, as she ate what had at first appeared to be a banana, “at least the local flora is edible by human standards.”
What went unsaid were the three formerly full branches that had once held large bushels of the strange bananas, only to fall victim to Ranma and the two digimon—Ranma had two while the digimon split one.
“How much longer on the fish?” she asked.
Ranma paused in her assault on the bananas, before turning to the large amount of fish she had managed to catch—after finding out they were not digimon—and observed them. “Should be done about the time the kettle is hot enough.”
Nabiki nodded, before turning to look at what all Ranma had pulled out of his own subspace pocket. To think he was able to sneak it past me that he already knew Mousse’s trick. “What, no tent?”
“Pup or dome?” asked Ranma, as she poured the water over herself, resuming male form.
“Do all human males change to girls with cold water?” asked Dalimon.
Ryuudamon shook her head. He’s such an idiot.
Nabiki giggled a bit. “Like I said, Ranma is special.”
She didn’t want to admit it, but she was sort of glad that Arch hadn’t cured Ranma. It just wasn’t Ranma without Ranma-kun and Ranma-chan.
“Dinner’s done!” yelled Ranma, grabbing the fish at Amaguriken speed, and tossing them minus the cooking sticks, onto the plates prepared for the others.
“Wow!” cooed the digimon, amazed at such speed.
“What if our little meal attracts predators?” asked Nabiki.
Ryuudamon pointed towards Ranma and Dalimon. “They’ll eat it.”
“Hey!” said Dalimon. “We will not.”
“Yeah,” said Ranma. “We’ve gotta cook it first.”
“Not like we’re savages,” mumbled the green digimon.
Nabiki chuckled a bit, before she dug into her fish almost as savagely as a Saotome. She was quite hungry after all, and when in the wilderness, you were supposed to take advantage when food was plentiful.
Besides, if they wanted leftovers, Ranma probably had an Igloo cooler.
Saberdramon flew forward with his now enslaved Monochromon. The three would provide tough opponents for the isolated Digi-Destined, and with any luck, would overcome them before those two figured out how to digivolve their rookies into champions, as the others were doing at a frightening pace.
But this time, they had sheer numbers to help them. Even if the children could get the rookies to digivolve, it was still two against four, and none of them were capable of flying. If it was needed, he’d simply use his Black Saber attack and pound the area until they were cinders. The Monochromon would survive that.
And if they didn’t, no biggie. All that mattered was that Devimon’s will was carried out.
“That’s weird,” said Tai, looking over the distance through his little telescope.
“What is it, Tai?” asked Agumon.
“You see something?” said Matt from the base of the tree.
“Yeah, some weird black version of Birdramon is flying off in that direction. It looks like some weird dino-digimon are following it.”
“That must be Saberdramon,” said Biyomon. “He’s a real hard meanie.”
“Wait,” said Izzy. “You mean there are other digimon out there that look like you.”
Tentomon nodded. “Sometimes, it’s all in the coloring.”
Biyomon had flown up to the branch Tai was on, and looked through his spyglass. “Those are Monochromon.”
“Think he’s up to something?” asked T.K.
“Definitely,” said Patamon. “He’s always causing trouble.”
“Then we better go deal with him,” said Tai, coming down the tree.
“It might be advantageous to act instead of react to these threats,” said Izzy. “It may have something to do with these Black Gears we keep finding in digimon.”
“Then let’s go,” said Tai.
“Fine,” said Matt. “We’ve got nothing else better to do.”
“Cheer up, Matt,” said Gabumon. “Maybe we’ll find some information on this Earth you’ve been searching for.”
