"Look at me! Look at me!"
BlueTinymon laughed as he was swaying around dangerously close to the edge of the wardrobe he was sitting on. Next to him, his red brother hopped up and down excitedly. "Me too! Me too!"
"Takato, stop that!" Terriermon shouted as he flew up to the two brothers, gently pushing BlueTinymon back to safety. He then scooped them up in his arms. "Seriously... I can't take my eyes off you guys for a minute."
"Noooo..." BlueTinymon wailed. "Was fun! Go back!"
"Sorry, but your climbing tour is over," Terriermon frowned as he put them down on the floor of the hut. "I promised to take good care of you, and that's what I'm gonna do."
"You party pooper!" RedTinymon said as he stuck out his tongue.
Unnoticed to Terriermon, the fluffy little Fluffmon had chosen exactly that moment to sneak out of the hut. The Ninjamon standing near the hut's door were dozing on their job, so it was no problem for the little cub to pad out of the hut.
Terriermon sighed. "You guys are terrible. Don't you see that the enemy can attack any minute? The village's Digimon got a message from the Yellow Syndicate that their hive is under attack... aw, why do I bother? You're not even listening..."
"Can't catch me! Can't catch me!" RedTinymon giggled as his brother chased him around the hut.
"Sovereigns give me strength," Terriermon groaned. "Ah, mou-man-tai, it can't get any worse..."
When somebody was tugging at his ear, he scolded himself not to tempt fate like that anymore. "Yes, Pupmon?"
"Jeri go bye-bye," the little dog-girl mumbled through her pacifier.
"What do you mean? Jeri is..." His gaze fell upon the topspin Jeri had been playing with earlier, but now it was abandoned. "...gone? Oh, please no..."
He ran over to the dozing Ninjamon and ave him a swift kick against his shin.
"OW! What the... oh, I'm awake, I'm awake... oh, it's just you..."
"JUST me? You're gonna wish it wasn't me who woke you if you don't hurry and search for Fluffmon! She's GONE, because you dozed off."
Ninjamon gulped. "Oh, please excuse me, but I've been staying up for such a long time... you can't imagine how tiring it is to stay on guard all the time, always expecting the Green Syndicate to show up..."
"Yeah, yeah, just go and... no, wait a minute! You're staying here and take care of the babies, while I'll go and search for Jeri. You got that?"
"Sure, no problem!"
"And try not to fall asleep this time. Harmony, I'm gonna go and..."
He turned around and was ready to cry out loud when he realized that Pupmon was gone as well. "Oh, somebody shoot me right now..."
"Shoot you!" BlueTinymon giggled as he took a banana out of a fruit bowl. "Bang bang!"
Pupmon was clumsily shuffling around the thicket behind the huts. Even though she was small and had a baby's mind, she still had her fine nose.
"Jeri go this way," she mumbled and followed the scent.
'Good job, Harmony!' Henry told her mentally. While he wasn't able to take over her body, he still could give his babified girlside suggestions. And if there was something babies were good at, it was finding other babies, especially if the baby in question had a dog's nose.
Pupmon sniffed. "Smell funny," she said.
'Wait a minute, that almost smells like... wait, Harmony, those are poisonous pollen! Are you sure Jeri went this way?"
Pupmon nodded. "Jeri go walky to funny smelling polly-polly." She giggled. "Polly-polly smell fruity."
Henry would have facefaulted if he was in control of his body. 'If that's just a poisonous flower, it's already dangerous enough... but what if that is a dangerous Digimon?'
'Harmony, we have to hurry! Jeri's in trouble!'
Pupmon suckled on her pacifier.
'Harmony, did you hear me?'
"Jeri trouble?"
'YES! And she'll be hurt if we don't help her!'
Pupmon sniffled. "Nooo, don't hurt Jeri! Jeri, I come save you!"
Henry realized that even together, Fluffmon and Pupmon would not be able to fight even a Rookie in this state of mind, but maybe he could convince Jeri to come back before it was too late. He prayed that it wasn't a dangerous Digimon...
It was a dangerous Digimon, of course.
Vegiemon snickered as he waved around his vines. The sweet smelling stench coming out of his mouth was attracting all kinds of insects and small mammals that were a delicacy to him. All he had to do was to swallow. And if he was lucky, he could even attract one or two little Digimon...
He licked his lips when he saw Fluffmon coming out of the thicket. "Mmmmmm, fresh and juicy..." he grinned. "Young and innocent, too... and all alone! That is gonna be easy..."
Fluffmon innocently glare up at the plant Digimon. Then she giggled. "Funny plant man!"
"Yeah, I'm the funny plant man," Vegiemon chuckled. "And if you want, we can have much fun together... why don't you come closer?" And he waved with his vines.
Like all young kittycats, Fluffmon was overcome with curiosity when she saw the dangling vines. She jumped up and tried snatching them with their paws. "Wheeeeeh!" she shouted. That was so much fun.
Vegiemon's grin got even wider when he lured the tiny little cub closer and closer to his teeth-filled mouth. Only a couple of steps now...
"Nooooo! You not hurt Jeri!"
Vegiemon blinked. Where did that voice come from? He sweatdropped when he saw the little pup that was clinging to his left vine, trying to keep it away from his prey.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" he shouted.
"You... you big meanie!" Pupmon shouted. Then she opened her mouth, where her small, but sharp teeth were sparkling... and then she bit right into Vegiemon's vine.
"YAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" the plant Digimon yelled as he hoppeed up and down, thrashing around his vines in pain. "Let go! Let go! That hurts!"
All the while, Pupmon didn't let go, and so she (and Henry as well) were in for a pretty wild ride.
'Oooooh, I'm getting dizzy...' Henry thought to himself. 'Harmony, time to let go!'
Before Pupmon could listen, Vegiemon sent her flying with a solid flick of his vine. Pupmon harshly fell down to the ground next to Fluffmon.
"Owie..." she sniffled. Her lower lip was trembling.
"You ARE a big meanie!" Fluffmon shouted. "You not funny... you mean plant-man! Meanie meanie meanie..."
"Shut up!" Vegiemon yelled. "I'm gonna have you both as a snack, no way around it!"
He wrapped his vines around the bodies of both little baby girls and held them up. Fluffmon and Pupmon struggled, but they couldn't break free.
"Leggo!" Fluffmon screamed. "I'm gonna tell!"
"Yeah!" Pupmon nodded. "We tell Rika and then you in trouble!"
Vegiemon laughed. "Now isn't that cute... okay, playtime's over! Time to say goodbye, kiddies..."
'NO!' Henry mentally shouted. 'Pupmon, fight him!'
And then something happened that neither Vegiemon nor Henry could have predicted.
A bright flash was surrounding both babies, and Vegiemon pulled back his vines in surprise. "What... what's going on?"
"FLUFFMON DIGIVOLVE TO... CUBMON!"
"PUPMON DIGIVOLVE TO... DACHSMON!"
The two Rookies looked at the baffled plant Digimon. Dachsmon drew her weapon, while Cubmon raised her fist.
"What was that about having a snack?" she asked. "How about this for a starter... LEO SCRATCH!"
"OW! Damn, those claws are sharp, girl! How about a manicure?"
"No time for that!" Dachsmon said. "I've got some weeding to do... AIR CUTTER!"
Her shot barely missed Vegiemon, but cut through a couple of branches above him that came stumbling down on his head.
"Now to finish him off!" the canine girl grinned.
'Wait a minute!' Henry said. 'He might be a human that got changed by the game. I think it's best if you just tie him up.'
"Good idea! Hey, Jeri, let's use his own vines to tie him to that tree."
Cubmon smirked. "Nice one, Harmony!"
Terriermon panted as he came flying through the bushes. "Harony! Jeri! Where are you? Don't worry! I've come to your... help?" He just gaped when he saw the two Rookie girls standing in front of a tree, on which they had just finished tying the struggling Vegiemon.
Harmony wiped her hands. "That's that! Hey, Terriermon! You missed the fun!"
"Yup, we took care of him by ourselves!" Cubmon grinned. "Now what shall we do with him?"
Vegiemon snarled. "When I'm getting free, you brats are so gonna pay..."
Terriermon leaned against a stump and scratched his head. "How... how could you just digivolve back like that?"
Harmony shrugged. "Maybe the venom's effects just wore off..."
The Cicadamon screeched horribly as it collapsed to the feet of Ryo, Stingmon, Kitsunemon and Brawlmon. It's data was then absorbed by the two vixens.
"That's the last one," Ryo said with satisfaction. "Now the sound waves must have stopped... and we finally can go to Cyberdramon."
While they were leaving the Cicadamon's chamber, Brawlmon couldn't help but wonder if the sound waves could possibly be what caused them to be stuck in their current forms...
She shook her head. Nah, that would be way too far-fetched...
Antlermon was furious. "They destroyed all of the Cicadamon! Now the sound wave barrier is gone and with it, the sound barrier they created around the island. They will be able to digivolve again."
"That doesn't matter," Cyberdramon said as he sat down on his chair. "I wanted them to come anyways... it was a good test for Ryo. And I doubt they can reach a higher level as now... and even if their friends should be back to normal, they'll never make it here in time."
He grinned. "And so it ends... Ryo will be my Tamer again, and his friends... they will die!"
