"Oh, now what did you do?" Kai groaned as he took the mouse from Eiko and looked at the screen.
"Hey, I only put in a little trap, so it won't be too easy for the heroes."
"A trap? Eiko, they still need to have a chance to finish that dungeon, you know?"
"Relax, I'm not mean... that trap won't affect everyone, only the first person who steps into it."
"Let's see if I can fix this mess..." the troubled Game Master muttered. "Now where did you put that trap?"
Eiko pointed at the screen. "It's that different-colored floor tile, see? The other tiles are all dark grey, while this is dark green. In the darkness, they won't see the difference as quickly."
"Yeah, well, I think we don't need that trap," Kai said and tried to remove the trap icon.
'Cannot comply!' the program responded. 'Input has been made by another Game Master!'
"What the heck?" Kai murmured. "Now this stupid program tells me you are a new Game Master?"
Eiko grinned. "Cool! I can be your partner, how does that sound?"
"I'm not sure if I even want you as my assistant after the mess you caused..." Kai grumbled and threw her a dark stare.
"Eep!" the ChibiBakemon said and pulled her pink sheet up to cover her cute face. "I'll be good!"
Kai sighed. "Now tell me, what exactly does this trap you put up do?"
----
Canismon grimaced as she wiped some slime off her arm. "Yuck! It will take me hours to get that out of my fur!"
"Well, at least we managed to fight them off for now..." Renamon sighed. "Rika, how are you doing?"
"Well, what do you think?" Kitsumon grumbled. Her mood was yet again worsening. "It's dark and filthy in here, I'm covered in Numemon goop and we still haven't found those damn documents!"
"Just look at the bright side, Rika," Terriermon tried to cheer her up.
"And what bright side would that be?" she asked.
"Well, um... let me think about it... Okay, I can't think of a bright side right now... but that doesn't mean there isn't one!"
"Just great, Terriermon has become delusional and Rika is bitchy yet again," Kazu sighed. "So what do we do now?"
"We keep going, what else?" BlueCeratomon shouted. "We can't let some weaklings like those Numemon stop us from reaching our goal when we're so close!"
"Weak, but filthy..." his brother murmured.
"Yeah..." Nalamon sighed. "I'm starting to believe these documents aren't worth walking through a Numemon-infested basement..."
"Aw, come on, you guys? Where is your sense of adventure? Harmony, which way do we have to go?"
Canismon looked at her map. "Well, there are two ways... there's the long way that is most likely filled with a big amount of rubble and old junk, and where we will most likely meet the most Numemon... or we could take the shortcut, where we only have to go through a small security corridor... and as I can see, that way is much brighter, too. Perhaps there are some holes in the ceiling... meaning the Numemon won't like to dwell in there."
"Why not?" Ceratomon asked.
"Numemon prefer dark and damp places, remember?" Renamon said.
"Okay, then it's decided: We take the shortcut!" Kitsumon said, a bit more confidently as before.
"Um, Rika, shouldn't we wait and think a bit before rushing through there like that?" Kenta asked.
"Shut up and follow me!" she snapped as she walked through the door. "It's the shortest way!"
"Maybe," Canismon spoke up. "But from what my father told me there could be some..."
BZZZZAAAAAPPPP!
"AAAAAAHHHH!"
"Traps..." Canismon finished weakly. "Oh, never mind, she found out..."
"Rika!" BlueCeratomon shouted and ran ahead.
"Be careful, Takato!" Nalamon said. "There could be more traps!"
"I'm aware of that," he replied and looked through the door. "Um, Rika? Are you okay?"
"Um, yes," came the reply. "I stepped onto sumthin', and then some zappy thingy appeared and hit me... It tickled, but I'm fine."
"Oh, good to hear..." He looked around. "Um, where are you?"
"Down here!" she said.
Takato looked down... and nearly stumbled back in shock. "Wh-what?"
In front of him, a tiny Digimon with a spherical body was sitting, its body covered with a fine, reddish fur. It had four small, stubby legs, two triangular ears were sitting atop its head/body, and two tiny tails were poking out of its behind.
It also had Rika's hairstyle.
She blinked. "Wha' happened?" she asked in a high voice. "Why am I so tiny?"
The others came through the door and stared down at her.
"Whoah!" Kazu said.
"Rika, is that you?" Nalamon asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's me, you stupid poopy-heads! Why are you all staring at me like that?"
Ceratomon and his brother stared at each other. Poopy-heads?
Renamon knelt down in front of her Tamer/sister. "Rika, you... you reverted back to your In-Training level..."
"Oh... really?"
"Yes, really?"
"Really really?"
Renamon sweatdropped. "Yes, really really!"
"Well, this sucks!" the tiny Digimon mumbled with a cute pout.
BlueCeratomon aimed his D-Power at her. "Kitmon, In-Training. Attack: Fuzzy Slap."
"Seems like this trap causes Digimon to revert back in their Digivolution lines..." Canismon assumed as she took a closer look at the futuristic gun that was attached to the wall.
"This really sucks!" Kitmon whined. "I don't wanna be like this! I wanna be big again, you hear me? I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna..." She jumped up and down in agitation.
"Hey, why is she acting like this?" Kenta asked.
"Maybe her mind reverted with her body," Renamon guessed.
"Well, looks like you are stuck with a baby sister for now," Ceratomon shrugged.
"Am no baby!" Kitmon said and stuck out her tongue.
"Let's just hope this is only temporary..." BlueCeratomon sighed. "Let's find those documents quickly, before those Numemon show up again."
The others nodded and followed their 'leader'. Only Kitmon stared up at her currently big sister.
"Renamon?"
"What is it, Rika?"
"Pick me up! I wanna be carried!"
The yellow-furred vixen sighed as she picked up her tiny sister.
